"Huh, let me come along when you find someone then. I haven't learned that myself. Our previous kage was rather, indecisive, about such things. To put it lightly." David said, shaking his head slightly, before tipping the scroll and rolling it open to the first section. "Alright, the sand element is split into three categories. Offensive, Defensive, and Genjutsu. Which would you like to start with?" The answer to this question would not only let David pick an appropriate starting jutsu for the boy, but tell a little about his character. Was he the type to go all out on the attack, hang back, or attack from the shadows? Three different methods, all of which had their place. Then again, it might not tell much at all, considering a well rounded shinobi would learn all three in time. David himself had simply bounced around picking the choicest fruits and leaving the rest. That would probably change now, as he'd teach better if he knew the jutsu himself.

Nodding, David rolled the scroll back a bit, so that the offensive E rank section was showing, Sliding his finger across the parchment, he laid it on the first jutsu. "Well, oddly enough, the first technique for both offensive and defensive, is the Suna Bunshin. Basically the same as any other bunshin, but made from sand. Do the handseals, running your chakra into the sand, and then focus on lifting it up, into a human form, then imprint that form with your own appearance." As he spoke, he did it, and a lump of sand next to him formed, growing taller and taller until it shaped out into the form of a human, David himself. "Unfortunately, the suna bunshin can't be colored, so it's obviously a fake. And for some reason, mine can't seem to talk..." With the last line, he glanced at his clone and gave it an odd look, to which the clone simply shrugged, before going off to the side and sitting down. David wasn't in the habit of making clones just to kill them, so he'd be there until something happened to destroy him.

E ranked, so three posts plus whatever bonuses you have.
Two chakra plus bonuses for every use too, failed or not. Always bugs me when people don't spend the chakra just cause they haven't actually learned it yet.

{Good catch. You can learn the rest of these E's in one post then, cause you get a -2 for ones I read and can learn, and -3 for ones I know. On that one I only really used the scroll so he could look at it himself if he wanted. }

David walked over to the completed clone and walked around it a couple times, before walking around the original too. Nodding to himself, he walked back to the impromptu desk, and scanned over the next technique. Which... Turned out to be one he couldn't teach here... He'd have to find someplace in town to teach the boy that one. On to the next one then!

"Alright, next we have the Suna Yadama Ooikakusu. It's pretty simple, you just use chakra to stick sand tightly to a projectile." He stated, pulling a shuriken from his pouch and running slowly through a few hand seals. With the seals completed, he bent down and scooped the shuriken through the sand on the ground. It could be done with sand from weights or a gourd, but it was easiest this way. Holding the shuriken up to be seen, he showed that it had pretty much turned tan, coated with a thin layer of sand. "Basically it's a simple way of getting sand inside an opponent's wound when you hit them. Not only does it really irritate an open wound, but if it's not cleaned out it can make for a nasty infection too." With his explanation done, he released the jutsu, letting the sand sprinkle back down to the ground, and stashed his shuriken back in his pouch. No point throwing it and wasting it when all there was to hit was the dunes or a clone.

{ We don't, or I expect it'd say so on the profession. Do you still want to skip it, or? It may be next to useless, but at the same time, by learning it you can claim total mastery! }

((Hey... I thought you could only take one of the sand styles at a time before chuunin?))

Hmm? I was of the thought that that only applied as far as bonuses from stuff like the elemental type. Hold on, I'll ask Gregar.
