*[Ninjutsu • Palm-Top Canon]
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
After the user has channeled a massive amount of chakra into the palm of their hand, the user releases the massive amount completely raw without any form of manipulation, releasing a blast wave of chakra outward from their hand in a 20 meter long, 35 meter diameter cone at a speed of 30 and strength of 40. Though seemingly simple, this technique can be coupled with loose objects in the air or thrown by the other hand, such as shuriken or a variety of different materials, to launch them at the techniques strength.

There could only be seen a faint glimmer in the distance, that glimmer was the Hidden Sand village now as a pair of men that consisted of one young and one old slowly walked in a direction of open desert with nothing more that dunes and a scorching sun above them. Though both were rather well suited to such conditions as the desert of wind country had been their homeland since birth. It didn’t take long for the duo to completely move out of site of the village itself as the old man leading the younger silver haired man who appeared like more of a scholar that shinobi had a single purpose in leading the man here. He wished to test how far alone his student had truly come after deciding to refrain from reenlisting into the Suna shinobi ranks due to some personal reason. Part of the old man worried about the young man who was barely twenty one years old and another part knew that at his age he was dealing with missions that had him tread the line between life or death for his homeland.
“This should be far enough my young friend.”
“Master what was it that you wished to ask me to bring us out into the open desert?”
“I wish to see what your most powerful ninjutsu attack is.”
“Okay…”
Zao wanted to question the old man but he knew that Hitachi was not the kind of person to do something without a good reason, with that the silver haired man turned and faced what appeared to be an endless desert now and slowly lifted his right hand up while flipping the palm so that it faced the sky. Then he began to rapidly channel a massive amount of chakra into the air just above the palm as a large orb about eight inches across began to form as it rapidly twisted and swirls wildly for a few moments as droplets of sweat could be seen run down each side of the man’s face from his hair line. The orb seemed to almost be controlled by the hand now as the former Suna ninja then flicked the finger of the hand outward causing the orb to rapidly shoot forward where he controlled the orb in an even more precise manner causing it to first arch up and then descend down on an area about thirty meters away from their current position. A power explosion rocked the surround area as wind and sand buffeted the pair of men as the explosion encompassed an area sixteen meters in diameter leaving a crater in the sand of similar size as the smoke and dust began to clear. It was at this time that the young man slowly let his arm down and turned to see the grey eyes of his old teacher studying the scenes from the formation of the attack and then the manipulation of the technique under Zao’s will, to the actual power of the attack upon impact. This gaze held firm for around five second before he smiled slightly and turned to his student to speak.
“Not too bad at all, Zao-san. But you’ll need a few more trump cards then just that attack. This is the reason I’ve brought you out here, over the next few months this old man wishes to pass onto you my two trumps cards for attack and defense. I feel that you’ll definitely surpass me if you can stay alive lone enough to do that and these should help you out. First we’ll start with this…”
The man paused for a moment and reached into his hip pouch to retrieve a eight in long scroll that was about three inches in thickness before handing it to his former student, knowing that even though Zao was a rather smart individual who could learn through being shown the steps he also knew that the young man could visualize the process in much greater detail if he was able to read and formulate his own thoughts on the technique as well. With a simple nod the bright blue eyed scholar gladly accepted the scroll understanding the meaning behind it and began to rapidly scan through the first portion of the scrolls contents as he did so the man’s eyes widened a bit as he pondered if this attack could be as powerful as the scroll claimed for it to be. Lowering the partially unrolled scroll in his hands the man then looked over at his mentor now whom held a slight smirk upon his aged face before he turned to the area in which Zao had previously launched his own personal attack at. The almost frail looking hand from Hitachi slowly lifted and pointed its palm toward the mention area as a look of determination flashed across the man’s pale grey eyes for just a moment.
Then out of nowhere there was a powerful surge of chakra that even Zao could feel coming from his mentor, it was something that he had never felt before. Something that was so overwhelming strong that it even caused a slight shiver to run down the young man’s spine…just what kind of attack required this level of chakra to be built up to utilize and not only that but what kind of destruction would such a thing do. It was at this point that the young scholar couldn’t pull his eyes off his former master now as a swirl of formless chakra could visible be seen around the hand and arm that was extended outward before without warning the massive amount of chakra being channeled was finally released. It surged outward in a conical fashion extend outward for around twenty meters from the palm of his hand and reaching at least thirty if not more meters across at the end of the wave. But what was more impressive than the speed and size of the technique was the sheer strength that it possessed as it ground away and devastated everything in its path from start to finish. It was utterly amazing and a bit frightening to the young man who couldn’t help but be caught up staring at the attack.
“This was one of the trump cards I mentioned, its range is slightly lacking but its power is almost unmatched as you can see.”
“That’s amazing…”
“Practice it here, I’ll be returning now my student.”
“Yes sir.”
Zao really didn’t know what to say as the man’s hand twitched lightly before he pulled it back down to his side, using such an attack wasn’t an easy task for him these days but it needed to be demonstrated for his former student to truly understand the working details of the attack from start to finish. Exhaling slowly the old man was already sweating as he turned a simply giving a farewell wave as he began to advance back towards the village leaving his young companion to contemplate and begin practicing the technique itself. The young man himself gave a slight bow in return and immediately returned his attention to the scroll and continued to deconstruct the basic learning steps of the technique itself while replaying the scene of Hitachi utilizing the attack. A few hours later the desert erupted with a small conical explosion of around five meters as the man drew back his hand as the man drew back a slightly burn hand, it seemed that he had been a little bit to reckless in discharging the chakra as it needed more control and focus.
A week later the young man was once more outside the outskirts of the village now, his left and right hands were bandaged up where he had been learning how difficult it was to control and manipulate the amount of chakra required to actually create the blast of chakra and the very real possibilities of injuring one’s self in the process. During the past week he had been out here to train a total of three time not including today, the time in between was necessary for him to be able to rest and recover the used chakra and to tend to the minor wounds he had received from using the technique itself. The man’s left hand lifted toward a section of scorched desert that was riddled with craters and scars from previous training sessions as the hand itself trembled slightly but the man’s will power allowed for the bandaged hand to steady itself now. With that a surge of chakra was channeled throughout his left arm it could physically be seen swirling around the hand and lower arm, charging the technique up for several seconds now as the bright blue glow of raw chakra made it difficult to clearly see the bandaged hand and forearm.
‘Again…!’
With that though the man grunted and thrust his arm surrounded by raw chakra forward as a powerful conical wave of formless chakra now was sent speeding forward now as the wave of destruction pushed everything out of its way and tore the earth before it asunder now. The wave was only about ten meters in length but its speed and power were not too far off from the one that had been demonstrated by his master, but it also demonstrated that he still was not quite on the same level as his master just yet either. Despite the improvement that had happened to the technique over the past training days he couldn’t help but be a bit frustrated at the slow rate of improvement with the trump card as it was called. A week soon turned into a month with turned into three as the man observed a wave of chakra was willed forth to destroy anything directly in front of him now, the speed and power now closing in upon that of his master’s original technique and the distance it was able to cover was almost there as well. At this rate of improvement within the month he would be able to match the strength of that old man’s technique….so close.
