Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jericho rushed into the academy completely out of breath. He slowly made his way to where the rest of the class was and walked over to Sensei.

"Hi again.....sorry I am late.....it took me forever to get through the mist......surrounding the mizukages office." He said gasping for air.

Jericho held out the paper work. "Umm...I was suppose to give you this."

Samego turned away from the endless enjoyment he received from playing with the lint that was flouting around and paid attention to the teacher. He watched as she made them guess what they were doing next, but do to his severe lack of an attention span and intellect in general had no idea at all what was going on. He simply let one of the other student try and figure it out while he went back to his lint.

Though not every fault could be blamed on distractions, minor as they could be. Not too soon later, he found himself a bit weak in the knees from improper technique. His molding had gone awry in the making and this time he had actually been concentration on his work. Or at least he though he was, things were a bit hazy on that front.

Roll: 2 (Fail) CP: 1

Regardless of how he had manage to mess up, he did. Nothing could change that now, all there was left was to learn from his mistake. Or at least try to. Shin had a feeling things were going wrong when he felt weak the second time in a row, this time so bad he almost feel off his feet. He needed to be more careful, who knew what damage he was doing to himself.

Roll: 2 (Fail) CP: 0

Again he felt deprived of blood, light headed and he had come to know these spells needed to be dealt with by resting. A little food here, a small nap there were all necessary to keep him going, after some time he could resume but during these spells trying to work only made things worse, much worse. And he needed to get better, not worse.

Rest Post: CP+1

Still seated he leaned his head against the front of his desk and breathed deeply so that he could cram in all the air that could fit in his lungs. He reached into his pocket, moving around a little bit as he searched for something. Finally he found it, and pulled his cookie out of the bag. He nibbled off a small piece and chewed slowly to savor the flavor.

Rest Post: CP+1

When all the taste was gone and even after he sat there until he finally felt he was ready. He rised up, ready for action once more and prepared for failure. Pressing his hands together in a bird seal, he concentrated on pushing out chakra. With the easy part done with he proceeded to mold with his mind, pushing and pulling until the shape a cloud appeared.

Jericho read the introduction of the book explaining how Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Fuuinjutsu all require hand seals, which is why it is important to learn them. He learned that by using different combinations of hand seals would trigger different Jutsus. Jericho looked in the directory and looked over the names of the different hand seals and decided to start alphabetically. Bird. After studying the picture and reading the directions of how to maneuver his hands he was soon mirroring the picture with his hands. “This isn’t too bad.” He said kind of quietly so as not to disturb the rest of the class. He continued practicing the hand seal going faster and faster until he felt he had it down pact.

Roll=16 intmod=-1 Total=15 ((Pass))
Skipping forward a few pages he arrived at the Boar. This one seems even easier then the last, he thought to himself. After reading the directions and studying the picture carefully, making sure there wasn’t a trick or something hidden about this hand seal, he gave it a try and quickly succeeded. “Easy” he said to himself. He continued practicing the boar but every now and then would do the bird hand seal to make sure he didn’t forget it.

Roll=6 intmod=-1 Total=5 ((Fail))
He happily skipped forward a few pages seeing the dog hand seal, but feeling cocky passed it and went to the dragon hand seal. After reading the directions and looking at the picture he realized he had no idea how to do it. He pushed his hands together but couldn’t seem to get his wrists in the right place in order to give him enough room to move his fingers correctly. Letting out a sigh he thought to himself, that’s what I get for skipping ahead in the book. He slowly flipped the pages back to the dog hand seal.

Roll=18 intmod=-1 Total=17 ((Pass))
Jericho looked over the dog hand seal, this one seems much easier, he thought to himself. He still read the directions and looked over the picture as he worked his hands to mimic the picture. Soon enough he had completed it and a smile came across his face. That’s more like it. he thought to himself. He continued doing it over and over again increasing his speed and doing bird and boar hand symbols every now and then.

Roll=11 intomod=-1 Total=10 ((Pass))
Moving past the dragon Jericho came across the hair hand seal. This one seems kinda tuff, I cant really make out where each finger is on the picture, I wonder if I can do it. He thought to himself. Once again he read the directions and studied the picture and soon his hands once again perfectly matched the picture. I surprise even myself sometimes. He thought as he began to smile again. He continued doing the hair until it felt like second nature then did the other hand seals he had learned so he would not forget them.

Roll=6 intmod=-1 Total=5 ((Fail))
Turning the next few pages until he made it to the horse hand seal a look of shock came over Jerichos face. No one can move their hands into that position very fast, there is no way. He thought to himself as he slowly tried to get his hand and fingers into those positions. His hands started to hurt and he could not figure it out, the directions were no help to him, and looking at the picture was making his head hurt, he thought it might be best to just move on.

Roll=15 intmod=-1 Total=14 ((Pass))
Next on the list was the monkey hand seal. After looking at the picture Jericho smiled. This one should be easy, he thought to himself. He still read the directions and studied the picture because he didn’t want to miss anything and then gave it a try. After a few seconds he was successful. “Well that was easy.” He accidentally said out loud. He continued practicing that as well as the other hand seals he had learned earlier until he felt comfortable with moving on.

Roll=17 intmod=-1 Total=16 ((Pass))
Moving to the next hand seal, the ox, Jericho got a puzzled look on his face. Which fingers are which he thought to himself. After looking over the directions he slowly moved his hand around while looking at the picture until he finally got the sign right and let out a sigh of relief. He did the seal again and again until it became second nature to him. After figuring the seal out he did it in between the others so he could get better at transitioning between them.

Roll=12 intmod=-1 Total=11 ((Pass))
After getting comfortable with the ox Jericho continued to the Ram. This one confused Jericho for a moment. He had to read the directions a few times before it finally clicked. When he finally understood he felt stupid for not understanding sooner. He quickly did the seal a good ten times trying to go as fast as he could while remaining accurate. After feeling comfortable with the ram he integrated it with the rest of the hand seals he learned.

Roll=2 intmod=-1 Total=1 ((Fail))
Jericho turned the next few pages to the rat hand seal page. He didn’t think it would be too bad, but after reading the directions and trying it, he realized it was much harder then he though. He could not get his fingers to curl like that no mater how hard he tried. I don’t think people can actually do this, he thought to himself. He tried five more times before calling it quits and moving on.

Roll=7 intmod=-1 Total=6 ((Fail))
He turned the page to the serpent page. Only a few more left and I will be done with this exercise, he thought. After studying the serpent he realized how hard it was do. Why cant I do these, what is wrong with my hands! He thought to himself as he was getting more and more frustrated. He figured it would probably be best if he moved on before he ended up ripping the book in half.

Roll=15 intmod=-1 Total=14 ((Pass))
Jericho finally made it to the last seal, the tiger. He took a deep breath before reading the directions and trying to follow along. Before he knew it he had formed the tiger hand seal. He made a celebratory gesture and continued practicing it. He eventually worked the other seven hand seals he had learned into the transition.

Shin sat crouched on one knee, his breathing coming a little labored. He was paining from his latest failure, the chakra had flowed irregularly. Whether it was his hand sign or something else, all he knew was he had messed up again. Although he still had energy left he was in great pain, too many failures had occurred.

Roll: 2 (Fail) CP: 1

He was sweating and his body was telling him to give up but he would not, he would not succumb to failure. He ran his head across his forehead and slowing regained a standing stance, fighting through the pain. He was not gonna let failure overcome him, not yet. Not until he was done.

Roll: 18 (Pass) CP: 1

He breathed in slowly to steady his hands, the pain of struggle and strife showing in their feeble movements. He breathed out to steady his mind, which pained from repeated performance of the exercise. He repeated the deep breathing for his repeated failures and repeated success hoping the latter exceeded the former.

Roll: 19 (Pass) CP: 1

He moved his legs to a more comfortable position and combed his mind for another seal, another key to unlocking his chakra. He settled on the monkey again for this one just reeked of importance, to him and to his village. He focused his mind, cleared out all things that were not necessary, all things that were unimportant until all that was left was calm. His finger followed the familiar design of the monkey seal and locked rigidly into it.

Roll: 20 (Pass) CP: 1

His concentration and mind focused only on the monkey seal as if it was the only thing that truly existed. He shoved his spirit into it or rather through it for a real world manifestation, and it manifested as chakra. The familiar blue glow hummed around his fingers as he began to work as the potter worked on clay. He imagined a image captured in the chakra, a blade long and pure. He let calm tranquility show him the way as the chakra was not pulled or push but just melded into the shape.

After it was understood what to do for this exercise, Samego felt relieved. Charka was a forte for the Hoshigaki clan, and he was a shinning example of this. Ever since he was young he had a large pool of chakra, but the idea of controlling it was foreign to say the least. But he felt he should give it a try, and with his hands in the ram seal he proceeded to control the flood fo his chakra.
Roll:13-2=11
cp:5

The exercise was not as hard as he expected it to be, seeing as how he expected nothing from it. He proceeded to mold the his chakra into the most identifiable shape which to him was a great white shark. The image brought a smile to Samego's face since he himself was often compared with such a majestic killing machine by his grandfather. He maintained his ram seal and continued to mold the intense amount of energy that came from within.
Roll:13-2=11
cp:5

It seemed that the amount of energy was to much for the young academy student to mold properly. The shark that he had just recently crafted now began to warp into a unrecognizable mess. And although this was a sign of failure, Samego thought he blurred and disfigured image looked incredibly cool. He shrugged the defeat off and trying the dragon seal began to focus his charka again.
Roll:10-2=8
cp:5-1

His warped imagination brought to life this time the image of an ogre with viciously large horns and razor sharp teeth. The image was a reminder of the stories his grandfather told him as he and his kin would fall asleep of killer monsters ripping the limbs off of poor villagers. This nostalgic image nearly distracted him so much that he almost broke concentration. But he remained in control, at least for now.
Roll:17-2=15
cp:4

Again it seemed that his overwhelming pool of chakra was his downfall, as he let it swarm over him and break his control of the projection. The ogre's face began to melt, which once again amused the twisted little shark boy. This was begining to annoy and tire Samego, so in silence he vowed to not loose track of how much charka he put in. So with a fresh start he focused his chakra using the tiger seal, hopeful into the shape of something even more morbid.
Roll:10-2=8
cp:4-1

The ideas for disturbing images practically flooded Samego's mind, until from his aura came the image of a moray eel that began to curl and bend in a nearly tortured motion. It was an interesting, yet seemingly involuntary, choice for Samego to shape something so strangely foreign yet also familiar. He held his handseal, yet tried for a different mor suitable object.
Roll:16-2=14
cp:3

The next carnation of charka appeared in the form of a very detailed kabuki mask with it's teeth finely sharpened to resemble those of a shark and it's eyes purposely devoid of emotion. 'I could get the eel... But how the hell did I come up with this one...' he thought to himself. He again tried to summon a much more relevant depiction of his subconscious.
Roll:15-2=13
cp:3

The last of his easily accomplished images was by far the most abstract. The image of the mask began to meld and curl upon itself and then began to take the shape of a slender, famished coyote. 'Okay, now what the hell is that thing?!' Samego said in confusion of what his brain had cooked up. He quickly erased the image and decided that now as the best time to start from the beginning.
Roll:18-16
cp:3

Perhaps the idea of starting from scratch was not the best idea for Samego, seeing as how when he started he was well stocked in charka and could rely on it to compensate for his lack of concentration or focus. He tried his hardest to manage another image, but his efforts appeared to be in vein when nothing appeared. He began to become frustrated and deicided that the dragon seal was officially working against him.
Roll:5-2=3
cp:3-1

It seemed that even with the change of seals his trials in summoning a projection of his subconscious were showing no fruits. He simply began to grow more and more flustered with each failed attempt that proved nothing but lost energy. He tried and tried again, but nothing happened. A fierce burning hate began to bubble within him, so much so that he was willing to break every bone in his hands just get get a single image to appear.
