Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rai was starting to get the feel for this. But at the same time he was noticing reaccuring patterns. And if he used this in battle, he would get too predictable. Patterns were considered weak spots in combat. They left openings. He thought for a moment and realized he didn't have much of a chakra reserve left to use any jutsu with the clones. He would for now just watch on as he calmly controlled the movement of his clones. It looked like poetry in motion. Parrying and dodging with a grace that was unnatural for him. It was clear they were clones and not him.

The trek through the scarcely traveled route of the canyon was a quiet and familiar one. She had only ran this passage way round trip once, but that was really the only experience one needed to have a lasting impression of the journey. This time, however, she knew a bit more about what to expect. The climbs didn't feel as tough and the shifts in elevation weren't as foreign. Also, the time didn't seem to drag on as long. Perhaps because now she knew what to look for. She would know when she was getting close.

Soon the air was noticeably thinner and cooler around her. The soil beneath her feet hardened with every few bursts of stride. It wouldn't be much longer before her feet ran against snow and her body against cold winds. Her traveling canteen rested supportively in her satchel, but Amaya was pleased to note that she really didn't need it just yet, plus, she was already nearly there.

One of the clones had taken the brunt of most of those flying shards of hot metal. And this was real enough that he may even start to smell like blood soon. Or he would have, but his time had ran out. The red ooze started to turn a crystal blue color and change its density. Then soon, it would just collapse back from where it was born. It rejoined the river like so many had before it. And the number of clones were once again even. Hopefully Rai had control enough here to complete his training. He should.. it was nearly complete now. He pretty much had the hang of it.

With the clones healed, it would be like they were paired off in groups when they made the next move. These three all had their blades faced down so that the hilt was facing up. They moved fast enough that it almost looked as if they had the body flicker technique. The hilts ran in to the other clones stomach. Then their heads all dropped. The three attacking clones rose a left knee right into the foreheads of the kneeled down ones. Causing them to stumble back groggily. Then the after image effect happened as the clones moved in again. Palm thrusting the weakened three in the solarplex. Sending them flying and skipping across the water like a flat rock.

The clones that were left started to walk over to where Rai was. And at that same time, Rai would stand and walk toward the clones. The veinpop on the side of his head still there. As they got close and stepped onto dry land he would rush and send his hands at them. Hands formed into a V. Cutting through their throats as they burst into puddles. He just had killed.. two of himself. He was now done, but had worse to come. He now had to go meet his sensei in the Tsuchikami Gorge. Great, time to freeze.

As he ran along the edge of the river Raisuke noticed the similarities from the last time he had traveled to the Gorge. Though he was running on the water before. It was small things he remembered. Like the trees here and there. The slowly dropping temperatures. While his sweat didn't stop it seemed to slow in production. And he wasn't using chakra so it would seem like it took forever to get there. He knew he was only a little over half way there. It wasn't cold enough to be too terribly close yet. That he was gad of. He remembered that bitter cold.

Travel post 2/3

Rush arrived at the outskirts of the canyon, a majestic place. He found beauty in all types of scenery given how many villages he's lived in, but Iwa was really starting to grow on him. His thoughts didn't suggest mutiny or anything to Suna, he just enjoyed his time here a lot, and after the Chuunin's it'd be rough to leave. But he had to leave in style and learn a new jutsu. One that might actually help him in case the last round of the exam was like a deathmatch fight or something. He had a tome full of different jutsu in Konoha hidden in the hole in a tree somewhere, safe from when the villages were invaded. He longed to return for it, but he had been so busy that it still remains a lost artifact. Thankfully, Rush didn't rely on the book being with him to learn candy jutsu. He was insightful enough that he could learn jutsu with his inate ability and the ideas behind basic jutsu he already knew. There was a talent in there that described making bushins, a low level jutsu he and almost every shinobi was proficient with, out of gum. It was a basic enough concept that he could grasp and surely complete with a lot of preactice. Rush could make bushins just fine, and he had a decent chakra control so forming them with his bloodline candy chakra should be within the possible. It would take days though, if not longer and he didnt have hopes of any sort of success so soon. But he had to start somewhere, and now was the time. He planted his feet in the ground and focused his chakra thinking of a bushin. Simple enough; he proceeded to envision it made out of a sticky gum that could root his enemies still. He then released his chakra with a handseal. He had no intention of trying to make a bunch of them in one go, one was the goal at first, and his results would show very little this early on.

Jutsu Name: Gamu Bushin no Jutsu (Gum Clone Jutsu)
Description of Jutsu: The user makes dense clones of himself that are composed of a sticky chewing gum material. They are slow and lumbering but when they attack or are attacked, they latch on to the opponent, slowing him down and sometimes prevent arm or leg movement.
Rank: B
Cp Cost: 15 cp per clone, can create one clone per 10 ranks in ninjutsu past the requirement, limit of 5
Damage: N/A
Requirements: Okashi Juritsu Bloodline, Chk 30, ninjutsu 40, chkra control 40
Training: 8 days
Special: *The user can have each clone he make one attack per turn with a bonus equal to the users highest melee attack bonus. Each succesful hit, the clone latches on, giving the target a -2 to dexterity per successful hit.
*If someone attacks and hits a clone with melee, different effects occur depending on what hit the clone. If it is the hand that connects, the attacker inccurs the standard -2 dex as well as that hand being stuck. This means that they can not do any jutsu that requires handseals and obviously cant hold anything in that hand.
*If a foot is what connects, there's the -2 dex and the attacker is considered immobilized meaning they can't move from that spot.
*If a weapon is what connects, the clone may make an instant disarm check (with the same bonus the user of the jutsu has) and slowly pull the weapon into itself intill the clone is gone or revoked.
*If a ranged weapon hits it absorbs the weapon, gone until the clone is at which time it falls to the ground like an absorbed melee weapon.
*If hit by a ninjutsu it doesn't absorb or stick to anything, it dissapears like a normal bushin.
*If an appendage is grabbed by the bushin, the stuck can make a DC 30 strength check to pull whatever part of them is in it out.
Owner: The candy clan (Okashi Juritsu)
