Hibari Dragonil
Genin | Black Salamander

At the sight of the woman's grin, he knew for sure that she did not dislike teaching him. With her sigh announcing that she was going to start instructing him, Hibari did nothing at that moment other than listen to each and every word she would say.
"It seems that the green color comes with good luck." he responded to the fact she called him lucky that one of the techniques he was going to learn was similar to another Katon elemental jutsu, of the same rank. He had a grin on his face as the kunoichi continued to explain the jutsu.
Hibari had performed earlier, a technique that allowed the shinobi to exhale a small burst of fire, but that was on a complete different level than the technique of his clan and the one known by Chiyoe. With the example mentioned and demonstrated by her, Hibari was ready to try it out.
Calmly, though encouraged by Chiyoe's smile, the genin had already started focusing his chakra within his lungs, carefully. A mistake at that point, could risk his ability to breath, that's why mistakes wouldn't be accepted. Since he was small, he was very skilled at molding and controlling his own chakra, what allowed him to easily pass tests that required the demonstration of the basic techniques at the academy.
Just like what happened every time when he had to control and mold his chakra, Hibari managed to succeed at his first try. Following Chiyoe's advice, he had filled his lungs with the chakra he would use for the technique. [1/4]

Continuing, the genin had in his mind the instructions given by the tokubetsu jounin. 'Runes...ring of fire...' he remembered each word said by her. And so he began to focus and mold his chakra, in front of himself. He brought his clenched fists in front of him, moving one towards the other. He didn't really know the purpose of that movement but it was probably instinct.
As the fists made contact, a small ring of flames was created right in front of him. But, it seemed too small to be of any use and almost disappeare. If it was not for Hibari's effort, by forcing more chakra into the ring, it would have disappeared and he would have wasted his chakra in vain. For now, with that problem solved, the genin was able to continue with the technique. At least until another problem was found.
Hibari continued and as the ring of flames grew, small runes seemed to complete the ring and fill some of the empty areas. One of those runes even looked similar to the face of a dragon. [2/4]

While he was creating the ring of flames and the runes, within his lungs he had been infusing chakra with the heat of his own body. Until that point, the chakra was being slowly infused with the heat, but as the runic circle and the ring was already created, Hibari had to speed up the process.
He brought his hands close to his head, in front of his mouth. With both hands closed, one in front of the other with just a small space within his hands. As a funnel that he would use to channel and direct his flames. At that moment, something worried Hibari. The ring and the runes seemed to have disappeared, but at that point, it was too late to go back. He would continue with the technique even if he ended up harmed. [3/4]

Just as he continued with the technique, the chakra within his lungs was already infused with the heat of his body. It was quickly brought out at the form of flames.
Hibari exhaled a blast of flames and funneled it with his hands. At that moment, Hibari stopped worrying. The reason was that the runes and the ring of flames reappeared as the flames were shot forwards. Instead of being simply a blast of flames, after it went through the runic the true form of the technique could be seen. A sphere of flames that flew across the training field. Fortunately, Hibari was carefull when performing the technique. From the moment Chiyoe mentioned the ball of fire being exhaled, he chose one of the training logs and aimed at it.
As the sphere of flames hit the training log, Hibari turned to Chiyoe. For a moment he forgot that he would have probably set the log on fire and possibly destroyed it with the impact of the jutsu. "So, how was it?" he asked the woman. He didn't ask out of arrogance but because he wanted to hear someone else say he if did it right or not. It was quite a childish reason, just like a kid who would ask a teacher if he had answered a question correctly and hoped it wasn't wrong. [4/4]

Genin | Black Salamander

When Hibari saw the smile and heard the approval coming from the one teaching him, he couldn't help but feel happy. It was indeed a great achievement for him to have learned a C ranked jutsu of his clan at the same day he became a genin. "Thanks. Katon is the only affinity the members of the Dragonil Clan have so it seems that being able to handle Katon techniques with ease is one of the benefits we have." he replied as a smile wouldn't leave his face.
The genin then waited as Chiyoe continued to read the scroll. If they continued with that pace, he would learn the other jutsu very quickly.
Listening as the green haired woman spoke, he didn't dare to miss a single word she said. Once again, it seemed that luck wasn't something he lacked. A second jutsu from his clan that was similar to original Katon jutsu, a jutsu that he knew already.
As Chiyoe made a pause to prepare for the technique she would demonstrate. Hibari used that time to think about how he would use his chakra around his hand, without harming himself when the flame is produced. When she demonstrated a technique that he knew already, he then noticed something. 'I know that technique already...But seeing someone else perform it does help me when I remember how it was to perform it before...Perform before...wait...When I performed the Dragon's Roar...my hands weren't burned!' Hibari took a look at his own hands and saw as they weren't harmed not even a bit.
He began to focus his chakra around his hands, coating them with his chakra. In his mind, Hibari remembered how it felt when he funneled the flame with his hands, and when he created the runic circle. Following the instructions given while using his instincts to adapt any possible mistake.[1/4]

With his hands engulfed by the chakra, all that he had left to do was ignite it. He knew that he could do it with a spark and so he tried to do it. Hibari snapped his fingers like he would in order to perform Houka Hira no jutsu. But it was futile. The chakra wasn't ignited, nor a spark was created. It was a mistake to try that. Similar doesn't mean equal and his instincts had already told him that but he didn't follow it at first, resulting in his waste of time.
Annoyed by his own mistake, Hibari almost lost the control over the chakra that surrounded his hand. If he wasn't as skilled as he is, for a genin, that chakra would have gone to waste. [2/4]

With his mind set on not making the same mistake again. He followed his instincts, based on the technique he had just learned. 'Infusing the chakra...with the heat of my hands...and create the flames...' he reviewed the instructions given by Chiyoe. Specially the part that she told him he would have to focus his chakra in a similar way he did when he focused his chakra within his lungs. The chakra that surrounded his hands, was pulled within them. He already knew how fast he was able to perform that, with the experience of the previous technique. If had remembered that before, he wouldn't have commited the mistake he did. Hibari was ready to give the technique another try, and he would not allow himself to fail this time. [3/4]

Everything was going smoothly. Exactly how he thought it would be. Hibari brought the chakra from within his hands out, surrounding both hands with the chakra once more. "Karyū no Tekken." As the chakra engulfed his hands, it was ignited and flames surrounded his hands. Just like the Dragon's Roar, even though his hands were in contact with the flames, it did not cause any harm.
"Hm...I'll try it now." he said with a voice tone that was probably too low to be heard by Chiyoe. Hibari then punched the air a few times, with each hand. Those few punches were to test if the sudden and rough movement of his hands wouldn't cause the flames to disappear. But he was not done, he had one more test. The genin then punched the air one more time with each hand. Those last punches launched the flames from his hands forward, reaching 1 foot distant from his fists. His final personal test was complete and he would just need the reply from the sensei. "This one indeed is easier to perform, even though I failed to figure how to ignite the flames at first. What do you think? Was it good?" he asked with the same intentions from before. But this time he was more confident. [4/4]

Hibari's mind continued calm as he heard the compliment from the sensei. "Thanks Chiyoe. I'm glad to hear that I did it properly." he said in response to her kind words.
The genin paid attention as Chiyoe picked up the scroll again. There was just one more technique left before they were finished, and Hibari was going to give his best when learning it, just like before. He listened as his sensei started explaining the jutsu, being careful to not miss any detail. 'A support technique that enhances an attack...interesting.' he thought. She even showed with her arm and finger where the flame would be created at and how it would propel the shinobi's arm.
Hibari took his time to absorb the information while bending his own arm. He thought and reviewed the process within his mind, but it didn't take much longer before he started to put it into practice. Hibari began to focus his chakra, on the back of his elbow inside and outside his arm. He already knew that just focusing the chakra outside his elbow wouldn't take him anywhere, and just inside would probably give him the same effect of the Fire Dragon's Iron Fist. For that reason, he was doing both. [1/4]

As the chakra was gathered within his elbow, he started to infuse it with the heat of his body, just like he did with the other techniques in order to produce flames. Meanwhile, outside of his arm, at the back of his elbow, the focused chakra was being kept really close to his skin. If one was able to see chakra, one would see something similar to a small and dense cylinder with a whole at its center.
Hibari brought the chakra infused with heat out of his elbow and made use of the chakra cylinder, funneling the flames and giving it direction. With that, he was able to propel his arm forward with great speed. At that moment he wasn't able to test how strong it was, as he punched the air when his arm was propeled, but he already knew that the effects would be incredible. [2/4]

Surprised by the speed increase given by the technique, Hibari wondered how it would work when used with his feet. Without hesitating, he started to focus his chakra at the back of his right foot, close to his heel, and inside his foot too. As soon as he started to gather his chakra within his foot, he began to infuse it with heat, bit by bit.
Following the same procedure that he used with his elbow, he had made the chakra take the form of a cylinder. But the difference that he would have right now, was that unlike his hands, there was something that could bother him, Hibari's shoes. He would need to be at least two times more cautious since he had never attempted to perform a technique through his clothes and such. [3/4]

With all the procedures complete, the only thing left to do was to put it into action. Hibari ran towards one of the training log that was right beside the one he destroyed before. As he got close to the log, he used his left foot as base while slightly turning his body around and stretching his left leg with circular motion. As he performed the kick, he quickly brought the heated chakra through the funnel and his shoe, igniting it almost instantly and increasing the power and speed of his foot.
The log was firmly placed on the ground, in order to endure powerful attacks, but the power given by the technique, was enough to send the log some foot away from Hibari. "Did I...overdo it?" he questioned himself. And looked at Chiyoe. "Are we...done?" he asked. He was wondering if he had made any mistake that he didn't notice, and at the same time he was embarrased because of the fact that he damaged another log used for training. [4/4]

As Hibari looked at Chiyoe, he couldn't see a reason for her to think he was interesting but even so, that made him feel flattered. As she offered to help him with other Katon techniques, he wondered if he should accept. She was willing to help but wouldn't it bother her? "Well I am interested in that but...won't that be a bother to you?" he made a brief pause before he continued. "I mean, I can handle genin jutsu on my own but if you're really willing to help, I would gladly accept it." he finished answering with a smile on his face.

A bit suprised by Chiyoe's response, Hibari couldn't help but follow the flow. "You're right." he said as Chiyoe walked towards a tree and indicated for him to do the same.
Undernearth the tree's shadow, he paid attention to what Chiyoe was doing as she said she would be teaching him something useful. After she had mentioned that he was going to learn how to walk up trees and walls, a grin could be seen on his face. "I see." he said as he waited for her to continue with the explanation.
He continued to observe her as she walked up the tree. "That's impressive." he commented. Until then, he had never seen many jutsu being used in front of him, so he was really impressed.
As she stopped and turned downward to face Hibari, he listened to each word she said. But as she gave an example of what would happen if someone didn't use enough chakra, Hibari reacted instinctively but managed to stop himself. For a moment he thought she was going to fall, but that was a foolish guess. He notice it quickly enough to not make himself look like a fool.
Continuing to observe Chiyoe's example, he knew that he had to be careful with the amount of chakra he would use. Even so, knowing the theory was just the beginning, too much and too little would vary depending on what he was doing. In order to know how much chakra to use, he would have to give it a try first even if it meant failing once or twice.
With that in his mind, Hibari focused his chakra beneath his feet. Just a small a mount but hopefully enough to allow him to walk up the tree. He placed his left foot on the tree, it seemed to be safe for him to continue and so he continued with a second step, placing his right foot on the tree. He remained like that for a few seconds but when he went for a third step the chakra he was using was too much for the tree to endure. The bark where he stepped on cracked and his feet were propelled away from the tree. [1/2]

Hibari fell backwards, but that was not even close to harming him. Back on his feet, he decided he was going to try again. Reducing the chakra under his feet, he stepped on the tree again.
As he put his foot on the tree, he noticed that it wouldn't be able to keep him on the tree. If he tried to climb like that, he wouldn't even be able to stand with his two feet like before. Trying to find the right amount of chakra, between too much and too little, Hibari kept his foot on the tree until he managed to climb again.
He walked up the tree, as if he was walking on the ground. He turned around to look at the kunoichi and jumped off the tree, landing right beside her. "This one is really easy when you know how much is too much and too little." he commented and waited for a response from Chiyoe. He would be glad to learn more interesting and useful jutsu like that.

As he listened to Chiyoe saying how long it took for her to call it a day, he couldn't help but laugh with her.
"Sphere of light? Sounds interesting." Hibari commented as the kunoichi said what the technique does. A technique really useful for dark places, and possibly be used as a signal in the dark.
The genin paid attention as Chiyoe calmly explained how the technique would work. He brought his hand up in front of him, and began to gather his chakra above his hand. Molding it into the form of a sphere while listening to the sensei's words. 'The shell for my light...' He continued to listen to her words while keeping the chakra above his hand. [1/2]

As Chiyoe continued with the explanation, he followed each instruction carefully. Even though he had his eyes on his chakra sphere, her words still had his attention. The few times his eyes looked away from his chakra sphere, were when he looked at Chiyoe as she demonstrated the technique.
'To light the sphere, send more chakra into the sphere...' the instructions guided him as he performed the technique. By sending more of his chakra into the chakra sphere, it flickered until the point it was lit. The sphere glowed, with enough intensity to light up to 30 feet away from it.
By the time when Chiyoe said that it was his turn, Hibari had already lit the sphere and was trying to move it according to his will. Concentrating on controlling his chakra, he moved the sphere as it followed the movements of his hand. [2/2]

Hibari then turned back to Chiyoe, with a smile on his face and the sphere moved around his hand. "Sorry, I couldn't wait until you finished and attempted to do it step by step as you gave the instructions." he said as he knew that it was quite impolite to not wait until she finished speaking to give it a try. But as he followed he instructions, bit by bit, he managed to do it slowly without failing.
