Katon: Haisekisho Training: 7/70
It did take a bit of time but Hana had managed to accurately reproduce the handseals in her last trail. She'll have to recheck her accuracy three more times just to be sure...and then she can spend a bit of time working on the speed of her seal formation, before on the actual Jutsu itself. Brow scruching up, the red-haired kunoichi did her best to concentrate hard on the task at hand.

Hana messed up on one of the seals so she had to go back and redo the whole sequence. She went over each seal slowly, forming them as accurately possible. While it was true her mistake was quite minor, she couldn't afford to make any mistakes during an actual battle. That is a gamble no wise shinobi would ever take - using an imperfect Jutsu in a battle.

Katon: Haisekisho Training: 9/70
Improvement was gradual but Hana was beginning to feel more confident about the seals. It was true that some work would still be necessary before she is able to begin memorizing the seals but the memorization part should be no problem. After all, Hana had a knack for remembering things if she begins slowly at first. She'll have to increase her seal-formation speed before working on her attack speed as well...

Katon: Haisekisho Training: 10/70
Soon enough, with time and practice, Hana felt confident enough about the handseals for the Haisekisho. She was surprised at how she was able to differentiate the handseals between the Jutsus she already learned...the red-haired kunoichi supposed it just came naturally to her. Now that she was done with the first part, she will have to work on memorization and then on her speed. After that, Hana will have to work on a couple of breathing exercises before on the actual Jutsu itself.

Hana returned to poring over the scroll on fire Jutsus, specifically looking at the Haisekisho section and practicing the seals over and over again. She was ready to begin working on the memorization now...and this part was always the tricky part in learning a ninjutsu technique...because one slight mistake can cause improper execution of the Jutsu...or perhaps the technique won't be activated at all. Not wishing for neither to happen, the red-haired kunoichi concentrated hard, memorizing the seal patterns in sections.

Even though it won't seem like it, memorizing the Haisekisho no Jutsu's seals by sections actually did make the task easier. After all, all Hana had to do was practice each section before compiling them one after the other. If she can manage to get down memorizing pretty quickly, she will be able to start the breathing exercises. And then, she will be able to train the actual technique itself.

Hana smiled to herself after some more time passed by. The handseals were beginning to flow out more easily...soon she will be able to move on from the memorizing part. One would say training alone is fairly lonely but Hana quite enjoyed being alone...where no one would distract her and she could just concentrate on the task at hand. Besides, self-training was very rewarding and gives her a chance to keep a keen eye for her own mistakes.

After Hana had completed the last section, she was ready to begin reviewing the whole handseal sequence. Her training was going fairly well, albeit a bit slowly at first. However, after her first time going through all of the carefully memorized seals, she would have to perform it again and check the next time, just to make sure all of the seals were correct.

When she was done checking the memorized seals, Hana was quite pleased to find out that she observed no mistakes. She was getting better at ninjutsu, most certainly. Now, she can begin the next part of learning a fire Jutsu, the breathing exercises. It's true it was a bit unnecessary as she had learned fire techniques before...but still...constantly exercising her diaphragm in this manner gave her fire Jutsus a bit of boost in terms of speed and power.

For the next twenty or so minutes, Hana simply concentrated on breathing deeply in and slowly out in the traditional lotus position. It was true one whom observed her would probably conclude she was either meditating or practicing yoga. But the truth couldn't deny the fact that breathing was quite an important element of fire Jutsus as well. The shinobi performing the technique couldn't just suddenly expel violently expel all of his chakra, otherwise he will get caught in his own Jutsu.

Hana continued working on her breathing exercises, her face totally calm and peaceful. Even though she denied this as meditating...her katon Jutsus preparation exercises actually provided near the same benefits as meditating would. After this, she would work on inhaling a bit more air than she can normally to increase how much chakra she could breathe out.

The next part of her breathing exercises was a bit strange but was the hardest. Here, Hana will have to breathe in more air than her lungs can normally hold and expel the air slowly...fighting the urge to just suddenly expel it all. As she had reaffirmed earlier, suddenly expelling all of the air is indeed a hazard...and may cause a backlash of the fire Jutsu.

It was harder than it sounded in her mind, to fight the urge to just suddenly expel the air. But Hana had previous experience with fire ninjutsu and having used it several times before, she had pretty good control over fighting the instinct to just violently blow all of the air out at once. She held her right hand in the tiger seal to her mouth, just to simulate how in a real fire Jutsu it would be like.

It may have taken quite a bit of time, but soon enough Hana's breathing exercises was completed. Now, she could begin the long, tedious, but rewarding process of actually performing the technique and perfecting it. Truth to be told, Hana was a bit annoyed by how inconvenient training without a teacher was. Yes, Hana perfectly knew it would take longer to learn by herself from scrolls but...sometimes she just wanted to rip the scrolls into pieces and never look at the Jutsus again. Then again, wasn't that an urge many people have to fight?

Yasashiku Had tugged Rosie along, from the Bath house to the training grounds. There was a cool breeze in the front when they got there, maybe it was because he was still a little wet. All in all he was ready to train, cool or hot. "I wonder if there is anyone who can teach us Kai release?" He said to Rosie looking around the room. There seemed to be some people here, because he had seen bags and things like that layind around.
