The bright rays of sunlight were slowly being hidden by the thick masses of white clouds above the Reaper’s head this morning as the lack of the bright sun and its warmth allowed the obstructive mist to slowly creep back out from the edge of the wood line. Kasai exhaled slowly gently stirring the mist as it flowed back over his dark cloaked body as the older man walked toward the north closer to the foothills of the Kirigakure mountains now. It was time for the Kiri-nin to ‘pick up his game’ so to speak as the man had managed to master a number of jounin level techniques of the Katon variety over the past couple months after the two or three months of working on his nature manipulation during that time. Able to see the improvements almost daily as his control of the flames continue to grow but also the intensity of the flames as well, as they had went from barely scorching the wooden target dummies to easily being able to burn completely through the logs after impact. Even so the man strived for a little more…
‘This place should be good enough.’
Today the masked shinobi was not on a premade training area that he normally ventured to train at out here near the mountain side, an area scattered with trees that ranged from all sized along with a number of small boulders that had fallen and rolled from the now visible cliff face that stood over a hundred feet in height. It was a nice back drop and would make a for good target later as the man let his gloved hands move together from either side, slowly moving through a series of hand seal before stopping at the tiger seal with the extended fingers just below his chin. The series of hand seals were followed by the man taking in a deep breath as the left hand reached up to pull down the dark half face mask before the Reaper then exhaled with some force now. It was his Hydra technique as the fire natured chakra left the man’s lips before bursting into three jets of hot flames that curved out from one another allowing the technique to have a wider attack range.
Kasai could manipulate the three jets of fire to decent degree, enough to possibly allow for him to hit multiple targets or follow a target that wasn’t moving to erratically as the flames reached their range limit of around twenty meters or so before the older man ceased channeling katon chakra to the jutsu. The flames faded now as their heat remained for a short moment after they dissolved before it to faded with a cool breeze that blew gently from behind the tall man. He nodded in approval to himself that he had a firm grasp upon the technique which led him to the next technique, a more powerful version of the hydra technique. The man’s chakra system was warmed up and ready now as the Reaper didn’t both recovering his youthful looks as he went into a series of seals that was similar to the one that had been completed recently but it was a longer series this time. The jutsu required for the man to build up more katon chakra than he normally was using to doing for the B-ranked techniques he had recently finished warming up with now..
So it took a few moments longer as the man needed more experience in creating such an amount of fire style chakra, this was not only good practice for performing the new technique he was currently developing but for future techniques at the apex of Katon. After a few moments after the hand seals had finished the man finally drew in a deep breath of mist filled air as the cool air was instantly heated by the katon chakra that was being infused into it now. Controlling the large amount of chakra Kasai then exhaled in a fashion much like before as three powerful jets of intense flames burst forward from the exhaled katon chakra now. The jets acted similar to that of the hydra technique but were a little bit larger and with the extra chakra in the technique the man was able to extend the range to around twenty five meters. Not only did the next technique sport a longer range but with the wider jets it also now had a wider attack range, but the flames felt like they were the same intensity as they slammed into the rocky cliff right at fifteen meters away.
‘Fire Element • Wild Hydra Technique…’
They had around the same impact force as the previous technique as well, but this was partially due to the level of the man’s control at the moment which was something else that could use a little improvement. Yet there would be time for that later the man’s lips closed and the flames faded from existence as the misty clouds once more crept back into place were the hot flames had pushed them aside a few moments earlier. The flames needed to be more intense and so the man slowly began to form the long series of hand seals once more now as he summoned up around the same amount of chakra that had been used in the last attempt now and began heating the fire natured chakra more than before. To the point where it began to feel like there was a small fire burning within his own chest as he inhaled a large breath of air at the same time, focusing the chakra now he exhaled but only created a single powerful jet of flames that blasted forward at a speed faster than his own. The flames of this single stream was much greater than before and definitely put them on a higher level that those that had been created a few moments earlier.
‘So it takes that much chakra to reach this level…that means.’
Yes, the man now knew the feeling of the amount of chakra it would take to produce this next level of katon jutsu and that also knew how much chakra that would be needed to complete his Nine Devouring Dragon Technique. Exhaling slowly the man let his body rest for a few moment before the next attempt, his golden eyes appeared to almost glow as they lifted up to gaze at the face of the mountain before him and onto the thick clouds that were slowly beginning to float apart as warm rays of sunlight struck his pale face. Letting his thoughts come back onto the impacts on the wall of rock before him the man let both hands move back together now and into the long series of hand seals that proceeded this technique. This attempt the man summoned about twice the amount of chakra was before as he inhaled deeply feeling the katon chakra rapidly heating up inside his chest and throat now. It was ready…with a powerful exhale the man’s left hand came up to his soft lips to help direct the flames as five powerful jets just like the single stream of flames from the first warm up technique now flew forward curving to each side as they moved past a couple of trees singeing them as they brushed by.
The flames were intense enough that just being near them caused scorch marks that would have been similar to that of second or possibly third degree burns on flesh, getting hit with this technique would most likely be the end of a person or at least their ability to fight back afterwards. Each stream then slammed into the hard, rocky cliff face now with a force that was close to rivaling his own base level which caused the older man’s lips to curl slightly into a smirk as they closed together ceasing the technique for the moment. Taking in a few normal breaths now the man analyzed the technique and its damage potential as well as let his body rest up for a moment after having so rapidly released the last few techniques in such rapid succession. The Toukai jounin knew that despite how impressive the technique was it still needed more chakra and it would be something that he couldn’t afford use to recklessly…but after a few minutes it was time.
‘Only five that time, I can do more!’
Kasai’s hands moved faster than before through the long series of hand seals as they were becoming more and more engraved into his memory, which was followed by a deep inhale of air which rapidly inflated the man’s lungs where hot katon chakra was quickly building to a new level for the man. After a few moments the man reached the level of fire natured chakra for the technique and without holding it a second longer the man leaned forward and blew out violently. Releasing from the Reaper’s open lips was a series of seven large, intense flame jets which now sported the resemblance of oriental dragons with maws open as they curved out from one another and moved around a few trees between himself and the cliff face. Their dexterity was actually impressive due to the amount of control he was using with the technique but he knew that this came with certain drawbacks. The boost to chakra was also able to increase the damage area of the technique to a small extent and sometimes a little could end up being a lot in the end especially if he was able to increase the dragons up to the desire amount of nine like he planned to do.
‘Just like the mythical dragons of legend...so my dragons will compare to them.'
