{{Just for the record, Konaga would be well acquainted with the use of chakra even if they hadn't yet been trained in any methods. Considering the fact that they can bend it at will to engulf their limbs and cause mass destruction, or engulf their legs and double their speed... they are very aware of how to manipulate and use chakra. It comes naturally to them considering they are eternal wells of it.}}
{{But yes, you're right that she wouldn't necessarily be able to detect your nausea pat... but then again, you didn't really use the technique in a purely standard way. I was thinking of saying something, but it was used against a random NPC, so I just left it be.}}

What I did was still basically what I was taught just on a very minor scale, that honestly would not have worked if the man wasn't already drunk.
Just seems a bit far fetched that someone who hasn't been trained in the art of pushing chakra into another body would know how to as a generic ninja ability. It is a very subtle technique, and the body morphing augmentations Konaga use are anything but subtle. Seems like knowing one wouldn't help understanding the other.
Just quoting this post, and Cobra's post in the Chatroom to cut back on Ooc.

 Aruwara Mai
Otogakure | Konaga | Genin
Chakra Control [ Medical ] Speed Mai was disappointed when he had simply blown off her accusation as simple 'ninja magic tricks,' and peeved at the same time. She was quite certain she had been right, but at the moment she felt no need to pressure the boy into giving her a different answer. The environment wasn't right either, there were too many people around. So, the girl gave the boy a curt nod with the same stoic expression, and slid herself off the seat. She straightened her posture and looked towards Shin. "Thank you for the treat." Mai walked out of the restaurant, heading towards the dojo. She could feel her partner itching to get out, and a bar wasn't the best place. Chakra: 50/50

" No problem" Shin said as the girl got up to leave, he watched her as she moved threw the bar paying close attention to the way she moved. " The way she moves doesn't show any reason to believe she isn't just another nurse, but her question was odd. Chakra isn't something people normally talk about here and for someone to be looking for another person to have abnormally high amounts of it..." Shin wasn't sure what to think of the girl but he did know that there would be a good chance he would have the opportunity to find out more.
Just As shin finished up the last bit of his food the two men from before came out of the bath room and slowly moved to the bar. Sitting on one of the stools the man Shin had patted on the stomach rubbed his temples saying " Hey man, sorry for being a a**. Can I get... something, I feel like crap now and my breath... well I am sure you can guess." Shin smirked a bit as the mans friend grunted in agreement with everything he just said. "No problem man, I am sure there have been far worse people come threw this bar than you. Besides everyone gets a little carried away when they drink. Here." shin then handed the men two peppermints from a small dish under the counter, two glasses of water, and a small plate of bread. "Eat this, and drink the water I am sure you guys will be feeling better in no time. I gotta get back to work though so see ya next time you come in okay?""Thank" Was all the man said as Shin walk in the back to put his bowl with the rest of the dishes.
After than shin would walk from table to table cleaning, and gathering more dishes, and bringing drinks to those who asked and pretty much performed all the basic action a waiter would normally do on a busy night at the bar.

Brutus ~
A large heavy hand fell on Shin's shoulder as he walked out of the kitchen door empty handed, likely to gather orders, holding him in place. A glance at the owner would reveal Brutus staring intently at the boy's face. After several seconds of simply staring at the boy, Brutus released him, and setting his dishrag on the counter, walked through the back door. "Come." echoed behind him as he obviously expected Shin to follow.

The thick hand was heavy on Shins shoulder as he looked into Brutus face with a humble and soft expression. For some reason the erg to hold eye contact with Brutus was strong in Shin, and he did so, but not in a threatening way. Shin just waited and stared at Brutus while Brutus stared at Shin.
When Brutus moved to the back door and beckoned Shin to follow he did so letting out a small sigh, showing a relief he wasn't struck in the face with some sort of cleaning utensil. Once out side Shin stood silently and with his hands clasped behind his back and waited to be told what to do.

Brutus~
Brutus led Shin through the surprisingly tangled and extensive halls in the back of the building, until they reached a door leading to a walled courtyard out back. Unbeknownst to Shin, this courtyard was similar to that of the great dojo, with an ambient genjutsu hiding it's existence from peering eyes above.
Turning around once he'd reached the center of the yard, Brutus stood next to a large well, and reached into his pocket drawing out a cigar and match. Yasashii didn't allow him to smoke indoors, something about atmosphere and guests not liking the smell, but out here it was fine. Lighting up, he puffed the cigar for a moment, while staring at Shin again, observing the way he fell into place. Nodding to himself as if confirming something, he held out his hand, beckoning Shin to come closer.

When Brutus motioned for Shin to come closer Shin did as he was requested with out hesitation, but he was weary, Brutus was big, and had a very heavy presence about him, and as far as Shin knew this man was just the bar keeper, and there was no reason for him to bring Shin away from the bar.
As Shin walked toward him he thought about what he would do if this took a turn for the worst, then he felt his snake shift slightly around his forearm and a sense of calming washed over him. The bagginess of Shins shirt should hid the snakes movements but their would still be a slight shift in the fabric as Shin took he last step toward Brutus, only two or three feet away from him now.

Brutus~
When Shin got close enough, Brutus reached out with his free hand and laid it on the boy's arm, smiling at him. Definitely an odd sight for anyone who knew the man. But before he would have time to wonder about that, Shin would be too busy experiencing the feeling of weightlessness as the man lifted him by his shoulder, turned ninety degrees to where he was holding Shin over the well, and dropped him, all in one smooth motion.
For the unfortunate genin, there wouldn't be any time to react as he found himself falling about twenty feet down the large shaft before he hit cold water. The water itself extended another hundred feet down or more, and the only way out was up, though the rocks were far too slick to climb, if you could even find a handhold. And the walls were about eight feet apart, so even that method would be out of the question.
Leaning over the top of the well and gazing down in, Brutus puffed on his cigar for a moment longer, waiting for Shin's attention to be back on him again before he spoke. "Climb out." he ordered, without a word of explanation as to how. If the boy wanted to know that, well, he'd just have to ask.
~ Nice job making Brutus seem like a creepy ***** there. XD

When Brutus put his hand on Shins shoulder the thought popped in to his mind about what Yasa had said, and for a brief moment Shin thought that he might be right, and Brutus just might be the teddy bear Yassa made him out to be. However then Shin was picked up and dropped down a WELL! Not knowing what had happened as he fell down the dark hole Shin tensed up and curled into a ball as he fell
. When he splashed into the water and the cold rushed over his body he was disoriented for a brief moment until he grasped the situation and said." So much for the teddy bear theory."
Wiping the water out of his eyes Shin heard Brutu's voice echo down the well with yet another short and sweet phrase. Looking around at the walls and running his hand across them he knew he wouldn't be able to climb up easily, and the well was to wide to press his body and shimmy up. Once Shin understood this he looked up up out of the well as he kick his legs and swayed his arms to keep him self afloat and said "How?"

Brutus~
Taking another puff on his cigar rather than immediately responding to Shin, Brutus blew out a rather large cloud of smoke, which, as he watching it drift away, he noted looked oddly reminiscent of a pony. But cloud watching was for later. Looking down into the well again, Brutus pulled a slip of paper from his pocket and looked at it for what was likely by this point an agonizing several seconds. "Well..." he drawled out, stretching the suspense as long as he could, knowing full well that the cold water would begin to take it's toll on the boy soon enough if he didn't get out.
"According to this, you put chakra in your feet and use it to hold yourself above the water. Something about mole cues and bonding." he shrugged, dropping the slip of paper down the well to the boy as well. While the boy's attention was drawn away catching, and reading, the slip of paper, Brutus vanished from sight, headed inside again. It was going to take Shin a while to figure that out, so he saw no need to babysit.
Yasashii Hello and welcome to the well! If you have found yourself down here, and received this note, it's because Brutus is being lazy and trying to teach you a technique. Now, he's not that great a talker, and whatever explanation he gave you probably didn't help much, so let's clear things up for you. The first thing you're going to need to do, is get out of the water. Don't do that, you won't be able to get up the wall, and you'll probably freeze to death. So, you need the water walking technique. To do this technique, you'll have to channel your chakra into your feet, and spread it across the water. Make the chakra bond the water molecules into a solid platform, and climb out. It's honestly a lot easier than it sounds. Be careful though. Mess up, or forget to compensate for the water's motion, and you'll fall right through. Good luck, and please don't freeze to death in the well.
~ Water walking is a C rank technique, so that's the numbers you need to go by for learning posts and chakra cost. Oh, and the note doesn't actually have Yasashii's name on it anywhere, so no conjecture. =.=

Reading of the note Shin let out a bit of a laugh as he felt the amusement that came along with the note. "Who ever wrote this has a messed up sense of humor." Just as the though left Shins head his snake swam out of his shirt and started looking for a way out of the well." s**t, I need to get you outta here huh?" Shin looked around for a rock that was poking out. About 4 feet above him was a rock that his snake would be able to rest on and stay out of the water, but it with out being able to stand on the water Shin would be able to reach the rock.
"Don't worry buddy, I will get you up there." As the words left Shin lips he made a hand seal and held it focusing his chakra gently down his legs slowly focusing it into the center of his feet. While he did the he stopped kicking his feet to keep him afloat and instead tried keeping his head above water by standing on the water under his feet. It some what worked, the rate he sunk was severally lowered, it took almost five minutes before his nose went under and he was forced to break control and start swimming again. -One post toward learning jutsu-
Shaking the water off his face after breaking the control he had over his chakra Shin tried again. Again he calmly let the chakra flow into his feet, this time however he tired covering his entire foot instead of just the center. As the chakra started to cover his foot he continued to slowly sink until she chakra completely covered his foot. Once it did he stopped sinking as if his feet had met the bottom of the well. Sitting and holding the chakra in place for a few minutes Shin wasn't sure what to do next. Figuring he had the jutsu in control he lifted his foot to try and step up threw the water... It didn't work, when Shin went to get a solid foot hold in the water the control he had broke and he fell forward.-Two posts to learning jutsu-
Staying under the water for a few second Shin started to realize how cold he was becoming, and how cold his snake was probable getting. "I need to get out of this water. The note... Something about bonding... Well damn, it is worth a try."Putting his head back above the water shin removed the water from his eyes and held a hand sign in front of him once more. His chakra moved down his legs slow, covering his foot the same it it had done so before, this time he also tried focusing his chakra onto the water just under his feet. Trying to harden the water with his chakra Shin tried to take the same step that failed him last time. This time it held, feeling confident Shin brought his second foot up to the same level with in the water and stood up the only part of his body still in the water was the bottom half of his shin. Bending down he picked up his snake and reached for the rock, stretching a bit he got his snake there, but lots his focus and fell back into the water with a splash.-three posts to learning jutus.-
"This water is getting a little to cold."Shin said as his teeth began to chatter and his body shivered. "I have to focus. I am getting the hang of this I just need to keep my focus." Forming the hand seal Shin moved his chakra down his legs fast, eager to get out of the cold water. Moving the chakra over his foot fast and trying to bind it with the water underneath his foot Shin took the same to steps out of the water and then another to hold himself completely out of the water on it surface. Once he did this though his control was broken and he fell back into the water. Because he rushed the jutsu, because he didn't take the time make sure he had control he lost it and failed and had to spend that much longer in the cold water.-Four posts to learning jutsu-
The water started to numbs Shin's body as he tried concentrate moving the chakra down his body into his feet. Once he was sure the chakra cover he foot he bonded it with the water and took the same steps until he was standing on the waters surface. Letting out a deep breath and making sure he didn't lose his chakra control Shin felt accomplished as he stood on the waters surface. Looking around he could find a good place to climb out of the well, and he did see Brutus at the top of the well. So He picked up his snake and held it close to his body trying to keep it warm as he focused his chakra into other parts of his body as he sat and thought to himself. "How am I going to get out of this well..."-Jutsu learned!-

Brutus~
After a few minutes of sitting and waiting, Brutus reappeared at the top of the well, having taken notice of the fact that the splashing had mostly stopped, meaning either they boy had finished the technique, or dropped dead. A cursory glance down the well revealed it to be the former, which he supposed was the better of the two, and thus, good. Nodding to himself, Brutus leaned almost casually on the well, and took another puff of his cigar. "Done? Okay." He rumbled out, vanishing again for a moment. A second later, a length of rope fell over the side, running down to just above Shin's head before it stopped, reaching it's full length.
"Climb out." Brutus ordered once more as he appeared above the well again. However, once Shin reached for the rope, the water in the well would suddenly begin to drop, draining out somehow or other until Shin would find himself at the bottom of the well, a good hundred feet below the rope, with only maybe fifteen feet of water left below him. The trip down would leave him even more drenched than before too, as his technique would not hold with the water so rough.
Once he got himself to his feet again though, Shin would find himself face to face with a bronze plaque covered in algae. Cleaning it off would reveal yet another message.
Yasashii Hello and welcome to the bottom of the well! I trust your trip was satisfactory? If you're down this deep in the well, you're either very adventurous and decided to practice undersea exploration, or you've passed the first stage of the well training. In the case of the first, please enjoy yourself, and disregard the rest of this message. In the case of the second however, please read on. Congratulations on completing the water walking exercise. That technique is actually the second of a set that all Otogakure shinobi are required to learn before being recognized as genin. Unfortunately, in this particular case it had to be learned first, or the other would be impossible in the well. What you need to do now, is walk up the wall, and out of the well. You basically use the same technique you just learned, but instead of altering the water and making yourself float, in essence, pushing against the water, you need to make your feet stick to the wall. Channel chakra into your feet, and place them on the wall, creating a magnet, or suction cup, or even just glue, with your chakra. It doesn't matter exactly what you use to focus yourself, only that you stick.

Syrus Aka Otogakure//Assassin//Gennin//Poison Specialist  Entering what seemed to be a normal bar, the boy with the long finger nails tipped his straw hat to the small crowd he assumed to be there. To tell the truth, he had no idea if anyone was there. In his eyes, the world was blury. Being awakened by a rice patty alarm clock wasn't exactly what he wanted. It was a rice patty for goodness sake. Who wanted to be awakened by that type of thing. Stumbeling to the nearest seat, Syrus, the pale skinned fourteen - year - old, dropped his head on the table. He didn't want a mission. Quite frankly, he had no idea how the missions worked. Did he just walk up to the man or.... He didn't know. "Ah... I'll wait a bit. Not like I'm being forced to do this..." A graceful yawn escaped his small mouth, as the Gennin threw the straw hat next to his body. Hopefully no one would steal it. But who didn't have the money to buy a straw hat, many would ask. His life was simple, at the moment. He was making a decent living. His parents were, atleast. He didn't bother them, they didn't bother him. Taking his first glare at the world, Sy found the bar wasn't what he thought it was. Not that it mattered. After a quick resting stop in his chair, he would take on a mission. But he wouldn't get ahead of himself, that's for sure. 25/25 [exit]
