Quote:If there was one thing that Kowai wanted to master, it was the arts of the Akimichi. One he had seen a few times, though never used was the art of the Partial Enlargement.~Bubun Baika no Jutsu (Partial Multi-Size)
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
Bubun Baika no Jutsu is a Taijutsu techinque used by the Akimichi clan. Using this technique the clan member can alter the size of their body. Highly skilled clan members can alter the size of their body to a large scale with little trouble. Those with lesser skills can use the Houren (Spinach) pills. Taking the second pill allows them to accomplish the partial multi-size skill if they could not normally attain it. With this skill the clan member will enlarge one of their limbs. This allows them to stretch and cause a more powerful impact against their targets.
On this day he chose to practice and attempt to master the ability while he waited for his pork to barbeque in a local training field. It wasn’t very late, the sun had only been up for a few hours so it wasn’t particularly hot on this day. In Kowai’s mind it was the perfect time to get this training down, when the weather was perfect as such. He decided to start off with a quick warm up, he took a bite of his jerky and he released a stiff and slow barrage of punches onto a training dummy. He took a deep breath and gave it a stronger and stiffer punch. As the blood started to flow and his heartbeat struggled to get up. With this nice and healthy warm up finished, was ready.
He balled up his fist and he focused his chakra as best as he was able to, to no avail he fist stayed the same, it was only a little sore now. He knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but he didn’t think that it was going to be time consuming. He made several random handseals thinking they were the secret to getting this done. He sighed, this was going to be a real workout and the sun was starting to come up.
He threw out his hand once more and focused and focused, until he got a little pulse in his arm. It was only a slight increase, which wouldn’t have any real effect in battle. He bit down on his lip as he looked at his arm, though he was happy to think that he was at least on the right track to success.
If there was one thing he was trying to avoid, using the pills of the Akimichi clan, those where best saved for emergencies and Kowai wanted to use the partial enlargement ability to improve his regular taijutsu abilities. He had to get this down without even having to consider them, if only he was that strong willed.
Though with some of the pills active he might be able to get an idea of how to do it without their use. Hesitantly, Kowai reached to the back pouch of his belt and he pulled out a glass box with three different coloured pulls. He took a deep breath and popped open the glass door to grab the first pill, a simple green and harmless looking pill. Slowly and carefully he lifted up the pill and put it up to his mouth, where it would be the first thing he ever hesitantly swallowed.
He felt a painful burst of energy and adrenaline through his system. He quickly attempted to increase the size of his right arm once more. He growled, even with the pills in his system his arm barely moved. This was the first time he had even tried taking the Akimichi pills, and it ended horribly. After taking only one, he had passed out in the middle of the training ground, to be hospitalized for a short while.
Having come out of the hospital several days later, he decided to tackle the beast once more. He cracked his knuckles and charged back into action, straining his arm as he tried to increase the size to that of a giant’s fist, in celebration of the power of the Akimichi clan. With another pulse his hand gained a bit of size, this time it was a bit more noticeable, though it was barely enough to really be effective. He was starting to get on the right track at this point, but he still needed to get it down without flaw.
He balled his fist and focused heavily, and his arm increased in size a little more. He smiled. He thought he was ready for the next step. He reached into the pouch behind his back and took out the boxed pills once more. With a quick flick he opened up the case and he took out the enemy that had taken him down not too long ago. Being who he was, Kowai wasn’t going to allow a botched snack ruin a whole type of food for him. After his first mishap, it was rather hard to get his hands on a second pill, so he wasn’t going to waste it this time.
He popped the pill and paced himself. He took a deep breath and decided to run and get use to the effects of the pill first. After his sprint he unleashed a few strikes against the practice dummy. After a few more laps and a few more strikes, Kowai was satisfied that this time he wasn’t going to be defeated by the pill.
With his mind in the right and positive place, he thought it would be best to return to doing what he did best, staring at his arm. He growled and strained as he tried to get this ability down just right. This time there ware a little more improvement, due to the strength of the first pill his arm had increased in size a little more this time. Kowai was filled with glee. Perhaps the lack of pork in the air was helping Kowai focus a bit more.
Though risky, Kowai realized that the only one pill wasn’t going to be enough for taking on this jutsu. He looked at his hand to the box with the remaining two pills. He gulped and went on to take the second one. It didn’t take long for him to feel the full strength of what he had just done. This being his first time taking on this pill, he felt a little bit woozy. He went back to focusing on his arm, only to have it shrink down once more. The urge to fall over was becoming a bit too great.
Kowai clenched his teeth and did his best to ignore the strain. He focused it all, he knew he was capable to getting this jutsu done and he was going to do it. He clenched his teeth to the point of nearly breaking and he threw his first forward while he focused. Success, the size of his fist grew to inhuman size and his arms stretched a bit as he punched. Kowai looked at his arm in amazement for a moment. He was hesitant to pull it back and start again. He shook his head, doubting himself a bit, something he rarely did. He didn’t think he had it in him to do it again.
After manning up a bit, he pulled his arm back to him normal sized. He then looked over to his left arm, and focused once more. He struggled a bit, not having it grow until he swung it forward like he did his right arm. He thought he should be able to do it without punching.
Pulling his left arm back and shifting it back to normal size, he tried to increase the size of a limb without having to punch it out. He took a deep breath and focused on the size of his arms increasing, “Partial Multi-Size Technique!” He cried, having the size of his arms increase to levels that looked freakish. With his newfound large arms he charged forward and knocked the training dummy to the ground with a hefty open palm strike. He smiled, this had been a tiny bit of a victory for him. Being the young and inexperience one he was, he was going to have to rely on the pills for now, until he would be able to fully master the technique.
[Done]
