Jutsu Training

Tennuyan woke up early that morning and decided he was going to train to be stealthier and faster today. He looked up to the sky and figured he could relate well to the cloud, so gentle, so quiet, yet so easily moved. Clouds were created be evaporation, Tennuyan knew. He thought to himself about the process, 'Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. Evaporation is part of the water cycle. On average, the molecules in a glass of water do not have enough heat energy to escape from the liquid. With sufficient heat, the liquid would turn into vapor quickly. When the molecules collide, they transfer energy to each other in varying degrees, based on how they collide. Sometimes the transfer is so one-sided for a molecule near the surface that it ends up with enough energy to escape. Liquids that do not evaporate visibly at a given temperature in a given gas have molecules that do not tend to transfer energy to each other in a pattern sufficient to frequently give a molecule the heat energy necessary to turn into vapor. However, these liquids are evaporating. It is just that the process is much slower and thus significantly less visible. Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. Solar energy drives evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, moisture in the soil, and other sources of water. Evaporation of water occurs when the surface of the liquid is exposed, allowing molecules to escape and form water vapor, this vapor can then rise up and form clouds.'

Tennuyan knew alot about the cycle of water, though it had nothing to do with his elements. He went out into the woods thinking he could prepare himself for his day of training. He started with some very simple breathing exercises. The main one was a traditional chinese breathing exercise. He took in a very fine, short (though not shallow) breath. He took three short inhales through the nose without exhaling. On the first inhale, he lifted his arms from his sides straight out in front of him at shoulder height. On the second breath, he opened his arms out straight to the sides while still at shoulder height. And on the third, he lifted his arms straight over his head. Then, he exhaled through his mouth, he moved his arms in an arc back down to his sides. Usually, ten or twelve breaths are sufficient and will not cause light headedness.

By this time, it was getting close to late afternoon. He was getting very hungry. He walked into the woods and found a bear wandering the woods. The bear noticed him, and ran forward to attack, and Tennuyan ran at the bear. They clashed in the middle and Tenn punched the ground causing rocks to shoot up attempting to skewer the bear. It dodged them but got cut a few times. Tenn punched the ground and raised a wall between him and the bear as the bear took another swing at him. The bear collided with the wall, and tennuyan jumped back and threw shuriken at the bear. It roared in pain and tried to grab Tennuyan. Tenn jumped back and performed his hand signs, inhaled and exhaled a line of fire at the bear. The bear roared and hit the ground. Tennuyan called out Jim, And Jim lifted the body and dragged it back to the cabin. Tennuyan got a fire going and sat outside skinning the bear. He hung the pelt up with the others, threw the bones in his box, and put the extra meat under the blanket in the back. He cooked his food and quickly ate it. It was dusk by the time he was done with all of this.

Tenn walked inside and began carving wooden shurikens. He took a log and cut it into slightly thick slab circles. He used a knife to carve the points for each of those shurikens. After creating his shurikens he put them on the shelf near the door and left. He walked to the forest and admired all the trees, flowers, plants, and critters. He noticed something small and red on a nearby flower. He crouched down on the ground to observe this little creature. It was a ladybug. A tiny little thing...hidden among the leaves of this flower. Lightly he touched it, marveling at the sight. It was a simple beauty found here. He noticed squirrels running around the trees, and heard birds chirping in the trees. 'sounds like a robin, a blue jay, and a chickadee' He thought to himself. He spotted some brown recluse spiders spinning their webs, it was so intricate how they did such a thing. He thought about the spider and it's silk to himself, 'Spiders originally started producing silk for reasons other than web-making. Spiders gradually started using silk for hunting purposes, first as guide lines and signal lines, then as ground or bush webs, and eventually as the aerial webs which are very common.' He looked up and realized that the sun had completely set and now the stars were out.

Tennuyan looked up to the starry night sky in the woods and realized it was time. He looked up at the different patterns the stars made. He admired their burning glory, and he admired what they stood for. They were bright, shiny, free, and fiery. He figured with the new moon going on today now would be a good time to practice his stealth and his speed. He snuck through the wooded area near the village of Konoha. He tiptoed over to the left side of the forest doing his best to not get caught. He crept behind trees and hid there. He began focusing his chakra on a bunch of kunai to make them hover in a circle. They kept falling but he kept trying. As soon as he got them to hold in place, he threw one at a tree and the rest felt. He continued this same pattern til they stayed up when he threw them at the tree. Next he practiced speed. He began to throw them quicker, and quicker. Finally he got it down to a speed he liked and began his other branch of training.

He then performed some hand signs that he'd seen before with gas jutsus. He inhaled and exhaled only for fire to appear. He tried again, continuously focusing his chakra to become gaseous instead of fire. He wasn't going to give up until he got it right. He noticed each time he performed the hand signs slightly different from the last set, the gas got more frequent until he finally got the whole exhale to be gaseous. He jumped back and spit a fireball at it as it exploded. He smiled knowing that he finally got it right. And then, the gate lit up.

He heard noises and figured now was a good time to run like hell. So he booked it through the woods. He weaved around trees, did everything to not slow down. Getting caught was the last thing he wanted, so he ran far, and he ran fast. He refused to stop running, even when he got exhausted, He kept running. He found himself gaining a second wind, and he continued to run. He felt as if he was beginning to move faster so he kept going. He wasn't giving up, especially since he could still hear his pursuers. He continued to run and he refused to stop, until he no longer heard the sound of his pursuers. He finally got to stop for a break, and took a breather. Once he got his breath back, He ran home, but this time, he didn't exhaust as quickly. He was extremely satisfied by his success, and laid down to go to bed.
