Welcome to Gaia! ::

The next technique was an even more challenging one, it seemed as though each technique got stronger and stronger with each scroll but he was fine by that as long as he could become stronger. This technique seemed to be tailored to him specifically as if the Mizukage knew he was a shinobi who wished to support his fellow teammates and not strike out and cause violence. The technique required the user to create a dome out of earth to cover themselves and potentially any allies around them from any oncoming projectiles or minor assaults. Defense was right up his ally and he was sort of excited to begin this technique, he read over the scroll enough times until he thought he could do it in his sleep, and hopefully it would pay off. [1/3]

His first attempt seemed to be going well, he had done the correct hand seals as he remembered them and put his hands to the ground causing the earth around him to be pulled out like a half circle in shape and in decent size as well. The chakra from his body circulated and pooled out of his palms into the earth below as the wall slowly began to come forth from the front obscuring his view of the outside world and hopefully being strong enough to withstand a few attacks, something he couldn't test himself. When the wall was large enough he stopped the jutsu sweating slightly from the effort and chakra drained from his body during the trial. However he learned it wasn't enough as he only erected the dome from the front, it was a literal half circle as his entire backside and part of the top was open for assaulting enemy units. This was no good, he would have to try a second time or he'd never get it right, how embarrassing this was going to be for him, he felt like a total fool, good thing nobody was around to see. [2/3]

His third attempt went much more smoothly his hand signs weaved quickly and efficient and with great ease, he was beginning to memorize the patterns easily enough due to the nature of the jutsu. When it came to pooling his chakra he made much more of an effort to balance where he was sending it and to up the amount he was spending on the jutsu. This wasn't the kind of jutsu he was used to as it was much more poweful, and so as he released his chakra into the technique and the dome began to protrude from the ground he could feel the exhaustion sweep over him. His brow was sweating quite a bit now as the dome finally finished and caved him in from the outside world, he looked around to make sure everything was perfect and it was. He had created his dome of protection and completed this advanced jutsu with little problems except for the missinterprutation of chakra usage. [3/3]

Rank: C
Description: The user creates an earth dome, which protects them from external attacks.

With the 'ok' to begin the young tiger quickly pounced at the chance, reaching behind himself into his back he lifted the small brown vest up to reveal a fuma shuriken tucked away. He was to prove he was an adept all-rounder and he would do so by using everything he could, except for genjutsu of course seeing as he knew no tricks of the eye yet. Once he pulled forth the shuriken he did not open it but instead sent it down in a sort of machete fashion aiming for the jounins head, not wanting to kill him but not wanting to hold back either. As he was doing this he produced a kunai from one of the pouches on his belt as well to be used as a defensive device against any counter the man might try to pull on him. He looked like a savage animal thrashing around the jounin, his eyes having a sort of wildness to them which looked untamed and dangerous, being so ferocious was bad for a shinobi. If they were to see red like he so easily did when in a heated battle things could take a turn for the worse and he could lose control and find himself unable to tell friend from foe.

Stepping into the original dojo room, Razani pulls off the cloak and hood while dropping his excess bags into the corner. Pulling all the dummies and blocks into the middle of the dojo, Razani prepares to train in extreme taijutsu practices. The Kanjo-Tekina Ikari is an extreme taijutsu style that takes perfect concentration so Razani quietly closes the door.

After sprinting around the large dojo and lifting weights for many hours, Razani comes to the middle of the room completely exhausted from the intense training. Sitting on the ground, Razani begins to mediate for hours upon hours. Having flashbacks from the destruction of his village makes him grit his teeth and clench his fists tight enough to make his hands bleed.

Standing back up, Razani sprints towards the large and cumbersome blocks in the dojo. Raising his hand to the sky, Razani performs the Spiteful Strike, easily shattering the block into rubble. Pain sears through his arm but he ignores the pain and moves on to the next block. With a quick thrust of his elbow, Razani performs the Disdainful Elbow and smashes the block into the wall with ease. With the final block, Razani raises his leg to the air and swiftly brings the leg across the block, performing the Unrefined Kick, smashing the block in half. Physically and mentally exhausted, Razani collapses on the ground from the hatred running through his mind.

Reading more and more on his personal bloodline, Razani was beginning to visualize the perfect techniques for sneaking and battle purposes. Most stealth techniques need to dazzle and confuse the enemy or defeat them before they know what could happen. After reading the basics of the techniques, Razani then moves to the middle of the open room and begins to build up his own chakra.

Performing the necessary handsigns in a quick and fast motion, Razani breathes deeply and tries to breath out the foggy cover. After the fog fills the room, Razani tries to separate the fog into three separate clouds but nothing happens. Again, breathing deeply and performing the handsigns Razani breathes out the large cloud again but sees no progress in the development of the ninjutsu.

After a hour of trying to perform the ninjutsu, Razani builds up the last of his chakra to perform Kemuri Kage one last time. Imagining the separation of the shrouf of smoke, he breaths deeply again. After a few moments, Razani breathes out a large cloud of smoke that begins to separate with one cloud hiding Razani in a mysterious way. Dashing around the room, three clouds move in different directions. Razani stops and the smoke begins to rush out the window, leaving the room empty again.

Resting for a few hours and allowing his chakra to return back to his body, Razani reads and studies more on the skills of his bloodline. Reading up on the Tanso Tama, Razani realizes his has found his first projectile ninjutsu. With carbon bullets, strategies and tactics can be created and improvised in mid mission. Most opponents will not expect the sudden change in battle style from close combat moves to sudden long range attacks and Razani wanted to be as diverse as possible.

After reading and studying as much as possible on the Tanso Tama technique, Razani moves to the open room to practice the technique. Performing the necessary handsigns, Razani takes a large breathe, allowing the chakra to build in his chest, and imagines the technique. Breathing out again, Razani tries to breath the smoke in carbon shape darts but has hard trouble shaping the smoke. With multiple attempts comes multiple failures and Razani kneels to the ground to regain his strength.

Standing back, Razani tries to understand his problems with the Tanso Tama. Visualizing the carbon bullets from the smoke, Razani takes a large breath again and builds chakra into his chest. Before bellowing out the smoke, Razani cuffs his hands around his mouth and shapes the smoke into darts between his hands. Facing the posters and vases lined up against the wall, Razani pushes the smoke out and begins to fire the carbonized bullets at his targets. Razani makes perfect shots with perfect accuracy and fires straight through the middle of the posters and shattering the vases easily. After ten shots, the smoke disperses from his hands.

Returning back to the books, Razani picks out his last technique to learn for the session here in the academy. Reading up on the another technique to add to his arsenal, Razani reads on a ninjutsu technique called Kemuri Shuriken. Apparently, the technique relies heavily on a surprise element. When throwing the shuriken or any projectile weapon, one must perfect the timing to give optimal coverage. After reading the last of the technique, Razani moves to the middle of the room again.

Pulling multiple kunai and shuriken out of his bag, Razani prepares to train for this technique. Building the smoke chakra into his hand, Razani faces the posters set up across the room. Throwing with perfect accuracy, Razani is able to perfectly nail each poster with ease. Only problem is that Razani cannot time apply his smoke chakra into the projectiles. Trying again, and again, Razani continues to nail the posters with no specialty or progress with the technique.

After an hour of working on the moves, Razani comes up with another plan on mastering this technique. Twirling the kunai between his fingers, Razani then adds immense of amounts of chakra into the kunai until it begins to smoke like its on fire. Throwing the kunai straight down the middle of the room, Razani then snaps his fingers at the perfect moment and the smoke begins to split from the kunai, creating three kunai, the real one and two kunai made from smoke. All three posters are perfectly hit with perfect accuracy. Razani kneels to the ground and rests for a few moments.

Aidan could see the dojo from the street. It wasn't far away from the Mizukage's office at all. Aidan knew exactly what styles he wanted to learn and he would also take a couple of Ninjutsu techniques as well. He entered the dojo, seeing other fellow shinobi training hard. Aidan paced over to the scroll room and started filling his backpack with scrolls. When he was done Aidan left the dojo in search of a better place to train.
