Welcome to Gaia! ::

Reiniku entered the beach and chose his favorite spot to train, sitting down on the ground as he unrolled the scroll Reiniku slowly read the scroll to the last detail twice before he was satisfied that he knew the information. Standing Reiniku placed his hands together and formed a rapid series of hand signs in a rapid procession as he looked down at the sea water, watching his reflection in the water as it rose out of the water and became a Mizukaisou Bunshin that stood in the sand in front of him so that both Reiniku and his clone were standing while facing each other.

Forming even more handsigns Reiniku focused on the clone before muttering, "Magen • Jubaku Satsu (Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death)!" As the genjutsu took effect upon the clone Reiniku moved closer to him, he was about to come up behind the clone when the Bunshin swiped out a hand at the real Reiniku. "Game over..." It muttered before it dashed away and faced Reiniku again. "Try again loser?"

Reiniku went through the same set of handsigns as he attempted to approach the clone again, a bit more wary this time as he got close to the back of the clone. He was nearly there when the clone swiped his hand at the real Reiniku once more, this time Reiniku caught the arm but the Bunshin countered by forcing his elbow back towards Reiniku's sternum. Sending him flying backwards into the sand where he attempted to catch his breath for a few seconds before standing. "I thought we were training!? Not beating the tar out of each other! I am going to have a bruise now!" Reiniku yelled at the bunshin, near ready to attack back. "We were....If I was a true enemy you would of revived the exact same result as you just did...Now try again loser!"
(2/9)

Reiniku sighed as he stood, facing the bunshin as he looked the clone over. "No wonder people avoid me when I act like that..." He muttered before preforming the handsigns again, as he swirled away into the thin air he smirked lightly. "Try to hit me now..." He muttered as he approached the bunshin, he was rather close this time when the clone swiped out at Reiniku, causing Reiniku to jump back as he canceled the genjutsu. "You were so close....But I took in the amount of time it would take you to travel across the beach sand plus the general position you would attack from and went from that....Try again!"

"That's not fair! You know me to well!" Reiniku shouted at the clone, not even giving the clone a chance to answer before he disappeared, quickly dashing across the sand as he came up behind the clone and placed a senbon to its neck. "Good....But isn't the goal of the jutsu to finish by trapping me with a tree...or some sort of vegetation...and then killing me? ...Try again! And this time do not fail!"
(4/9)

Reiniku jumped back as he formed the handsigns mid air, dashing forward through the sand as he approached the clone in a hook shaped maneuver, as he approached the clone a small little vine shot out of the dirt and wrapped itself around the real Reiniku's foot. Causing the Real reiniku to trip and fall over onto the sand much to the clone's amusement as it began to laugh deeply. "Ok now how did that even happen!" Reiniku shouted as he released the genjutsu and stood once more. "Do not even say 'Try again! loser!' or I swear I will smash you into the sand..." Reiniku yelled at the clone as he backed away.

Wrong target and not enough chakra control... Reiniku muttered as he formed the handsigns again, disappearing into the air as he charged at the clone, three weak looking vines growing out of the ground that the clone snapped almost immediately after they binded him. "What was that? Are you trying to fail?!" The clone yelled in a joking voice as it looked at Reiniku. "Try again...Loser!"
(6/9)

"Ugh...." Reiniku muttered as he backed up a few steps and formed the handsigns, disappearing into the air as he approached the clone. At least I am getting good at disappearing and approaching the clon- Reiniku started to say before the clone slapped him across the face. "Idiot....You touched my shoulder when you passed by me! Try again!" The clone yelled out.
(7/9)

Reiniku backed away from the clone as he formed handsigns at a rapid pace, after finishing the handsigns he disappeared into the air as he slowly snuck up behind the clone, wary to keep his distance until he moved in for the kill Reiniku dashed forward at the last moment. As he got within arms length a large amount of vines erupted from the ground and wrapped themselves around the clone. The real Reiniku appeared out of the pea pod that had formed in front of the clone and pressed a senbon to its neck. "I win...." The real Reiniku muttered, "That was a massive improvement...What did you do?" The clone asked, surprised that Reiniku had improved so quickly. Reiniku paused before he answered, "One last time to see if it really worked...and then I will tell you."
(8/9)

Reiniku sighed as he backed away from the clone, I am so happy I did not have someone like me as a sensei growing up.... He thought as he formed the handsigns, disappearing as he approached the bunshin again. As he got closer a intricate series of vines grew unnaturally out of the sand and ensnared the clone within them, Reiniku grew out of a pea pod within the vines in front of the clone and placed a senbon directly to the Bunshin's throat. "I think your dead this time my annoying friend..." Reiniku muttered to the clone. "Very good...." The clone answered, "But do vines like this really grow in sandy environments?" Reiniku sighed before looking the clone in the eye, "Would you rather I used cacti?" He said in a completely serious voice. The clone had a shocked and worried voice flow over its face as it shook its head, "No no I am happy with vines!" Reiniku laughed happily and then remembered that he had to tell the clone his secret. "Oh yeah....how I improved so fast was I ignored the urge to do this to you!" Reiniku exclaimed as he slapped the clone across the face. Causing both the Genjutsu and the Bunshin to vanish.
(9/9)

Reiniku gathered the scroll and placed it within his bag to return the next time he came to the library as he slowly walked off of the beach. "Note to self....Never train with a clone again...I hate myself sometimes..." He muttered under his breath as he exited the beach.



((•Mizukaisou Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Reflection Clone Technique)
Description: A jutsu that makes the user's reflection in water step out of the reflection and attack as a physical body. This type of water clone is an improvement over the Mizu Bunshin, possessing Chakra, Intelligence, and Physical abilities equivalent to 1/3 the user's. Each clone can be destroyed with a solid blow.
•Magen • Jubaku Satsu (Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death)
Description: With this jutsu, the user can make themselves disappear, allowing them to approach their target unnoticed. Once completed, a tree and roots will grow at the target's feet and restrict their movements. Once the opponent believes that they are captured, the user can then appear above their opponent from the tree's trunk and kill the target. In the anime's Kurama clan arc, this jutsu is shown to be quite versatile, with a wide range of variations on the standard nature theme. In addition to the disappearing and tree-growing effects of the jutsu, the user can produce flowers, seedpods, and vines.))
