"!"
Ren's eyes widened as he spotted the sudden abnormality spawning out of the spot he just tried to strike. He jumped backwards as if he expected a retaliation from the strange jutting bone.
"That's amazing!"

"Yes, here at the Tsuchi dojo you can be no less than amazing. I have trained well in Taijutsu and know much about Tenketsu, even how to strike your own!"
Kaimen lifted his fingers, jumping backwards and turning so that he was facing the Ren,
"Hassendan!"
Finger tip bullets shot from his hands to strike at tenketsu points in Ren's legs. Only to numb them.

Ren didn't expect Kaimen to attack again as he was caught off guard from being exhausted. He suddenly fell onto the ground when something hit his legs. Ren immediately threw his hands out in front of himself so he wouldn't hit the floor with his face.
He gridded his teeth, "How did-- you..?" Ren's Byakugan was still activated but he still didn't see the attack coming because of the fatigue.

"Tenketsu! If you train hard enough you don't need to be able to see it! You can memorize it. Pure training alone, you don't need to be a genius for that, or have any kind of dojutsu for that. This is tsuchi, this is the earth, this style, is everything."
Kaimen walked over to Ren, picking him up and bringing him inside the tsuchi dojo before throwing him haphazardly onto the floor. His legs would start working within the next few minutes.
"You should, rest now, at least until the next day. We can start your real training then."
In a cloud of sand, Kaimen had vanished.

Ren pounded the floor with his fist. How could he have lost so quickly-- to befall his own style of Taijutsu as well. His old Sensei would be ashamed.
A few minutes passed and Ren could feel his legs again as he stood up and glanced around the room. Kaimen was gone.

A Day Later...
Kaimen waited outside of the Tsuchi Dojo, hoping Ren would be ready for his first lesson.

Ren had rested up and was ready for a day of training. He walked out of the Earth Dojo's doors and saw Kaimen standing there. Ren saluted.
"I am ready to learn, Kaimen Sensei!"

"Don't call me Sensei, it's creepy."
Kaimen cracked his neck and proceeded to ask a question,
"How good are you at chakra control?"

He stopped saluting and complied with Kaimen's request, "Erm-- alright then, Kaimen-sama!"
Ren said respectively. Kaimen's next question stumped Ren. He looked to his side as if someone was there, "Shut up Meesha, I know what chakra control IS."
Ren looked back to Kaimen.
"Is there a way to test whether or not I'm good with it? Because I'm not sure."

"Uh, thats worse."
Kaimen mumbled to himself.
"Yeah we can test it. It's easy. Kind of."
Kaimen picked up a rock, from the ground, it was about the size of his fist.
"You'll need to take a rock about the size of your hand and focus your chakra into it, and change it's shape. This is the first step in tsuchi! Mediation and understanding the earth."
Kaimen focused hard on the rock as it's shape twisted and molded into a perfect shuriken.
"You try."

Ren stepped off the Earth Dojo's property and looked around for a moderate sized rock to hold. He spotted another rock that was the size of a fist and picked it up in the palm of his hand.
Ren stood there and tried to run chakra through the rock.
"..."
This is hard. It isn't--

"...So you need some work huh."
Kaimen scratched his head.
"Kuchiyose No Jutsu!"
In his hand he made a basket appear, with 100 rocks.
"There are stone Gardens located all around the dojos. Go meditate, try to fill the earth with your chakra and make 150 Shurikens."
Before handing the basket to Ren he asked,
"Who's Meeesha?"

Ren accepted the basket before he bowed and answered the question, "Oh she's just my stupid friend who follows me around all the time. Sometimes I wish-"
Ren jumped backwards all the sudden as if an attack just came at him.
"HUH! Hahaha! You fell flat on your damn face you p***k! You deserve it!"
He turned and started to run from the invisible threat before shouting back, "Thank you Kaimen-sama, I will do as you order!"

After the disagreement between Ren and his imaginary friend Meesha settled, Ren began his training. He sat Indian style between two large rocks in the zen garden with the basket of rocks next to him.
"Right. Let's begin, Ren!"
Ren said to himself as he picked up the first rock.
Meditation, huh?
