Espyn's fists were almost clenched, they would've been if he hadn't stiffened them up to retain balance. His face was a little stressed, but because of the gradual increase in chakra versus a sudden burst of it, Espyn felt he wa in control.
From his chest a small light sparked, then a thin ring of blue ice was expelled from him and expanded around him like Saturn's rings. It was razor thin and, upon contact with the rocks and stones, it sliced them in half and created two orbits of rapidly spinning stone around him and one ring of ice in the middle.
By now the grass was a foot or two in length, moving gracefully with the wind that the rocky movement was creating, but getting covered up by the loose particles of sand and grain that'd begun to move upwards towards the pending cyclones.
Espyn could feel all of this, he felt as if he were picking up the chakra with his ice or his water-- but he wasn't, and he knew it.

Espyn began picking up on the soil about him that'd been cast into the air and melted away his ring of ice, replacing it with a ring of sedimentary gravel, much thicker and less compacted that the circle of his original element.
Now, he was burning hot white, the 3 rings surrounding him began to expand, picking up other, larger rocks and eventually created a form of cyclone around Espyn with a radius of about 3 or 4 feet. His hair flew above his head, revealing his scarred neck. The top edge of the cylindrical mass of dirt began to attract towards itself, pulling in the top to wrought a dome of earthen material about Espyn, concealing him within the garden.

The dome began to fall apart, large streaking gaps of no mass ripping through it. Now it looked like a ribbon of brown was laying seige to Espyn and his rough sitting stone, the top of the dome's ribbon flailing about as it formed into a kind of head. The dome was gone and the material stopped orbiting Espyn, uncurling into a straight shot into the sky in the form of a slender serpent, long and novel.
It seethed and came back down to earth, diving straight for Espyn's head, opening it's mouth to a hellishly wide figure, revealing sharp stony teeth.
The serpent came down head first.
Espyn suddenly opened his eyes and looked up to find the beast not a human's length away from his face, immediately throwing his arm across the way in a simple defense.
Immediately, the entire length of the beast dispersed into nothing but sand, blowing in the wind that breathed a new life into Espyn's chakra as it soaked into the ground.
[I'll be back.. later and such.]

Odkut hurried to the kitchen to meet with his sensei.
''Alright I am here what's up?''

Plant, Sand, Steel, Rock, Man, Or Rubber? Choose. this is what I've called you for...State your answer, at the Matsu Iwa And you will be trained from there."
((The Thread))
With the, his Sensei's eyes closed, and no more would be said.

Espyn slid off of the rock that seemed to grow over the span of time he'd been sitting on it. Either this was true, or Espyn had simply eroded the earth around the rock and revealed more of it. He hit the ground softly, sending a gentle cloud of sand into the air, lingering around his limbs and sticking to his flesh as if he were made of the same substance.
He pressed his hands against the large pillar and forced his palms flat against it.
"Focus..." he whispered to himself, claiming a focal point on the charcol-grey boulder. "Just focus..."
Espyn released his energy into the rock surface and attempted to control it, keeping it on the point of sight instead of having it span out over the entire rock, for fear of crushing it, which wasn't his intent. The undulations of the blue-grey chakra warped the appearance of the rock, seemingly making it bubble and churn as if it were a viscous liquid, rising up around Espyn's hands.
Soon enough. Keep focus.

The chakra treid to splay out in all directions but Espyn remained on task, staring at the desired area of metamorph between his hands. The energy began to concentrate, turning from a dull, lulliby blue to the feral, hot whitish shade of the violet spectrum. Scratches were bored into the fleshy stone as the energy began to bounce around as if they were molecules being heating. His hands burned with the energy but he kept them flat on the surface.
Suddenly, the rock blared and his hands sank into a small crater, the pattern beautifully set around his limbs as if it were an ancient seal he'd discovered. The warping continued as boils of stone rose up from the fiery pool of energy.
Almost- he knew he was almost there.

The force of the energy blew his hair from his face histrionically as the vehement passions of the chakra began to take hold of the very essence of the rock and wrought it as it pleased. The light grew along his Espyn's heart rate, the organ thumping against his chest as he was forced to close his eyes before they were burned while he was engulfed in light.
He released his hands from the rock and was thrown back into a small tree, tumbling over himself several times before curling up as the light slipped over his body.
~~~
After he could see more than darkness, he opened his eyes to find a baskets-worth of kunai littered in pathway from the rock to where he lay-- and a hardy stone blade lodged into the ground next to his ankle.
His breath was raspy.

Espyn caught his breath before pushing himself off of the ground before he was shocked with one of the lingering streamlines of electricity. He bent over, one by one, and collected a total of 8 kunai, looking at their craftsmanship in admiration of himself.
They weren't very gleaming in the blaring sun, but that was okay. They were pointed and, with a little manual sharpening- or better yet, chakra-sharpening, they would work fine.
He smiled at himself, coughed up a little dust, and shoved them in a make-shift bag that he'd made from branches and compacted earth.

"Why are you so dramatic..."
Kaimen said hanging upside down from the ceiling.
"Does your chakra always over react like that?"

Tutsami navigated to the rock garden. She took off her shoes and somehow got the bright idea of trying to jump to the nearest rock without hitting the sand. Her first try, she landed on the rock and fell flat-backed into the sand. She attempted it again and cleared the rock. Grimmacing, she tried once more and landed the rock without faultering. She crossed her legs and began to meditate.

"HHMMM!?!!?"
Kaimen exclaimed from the ceiling noticing the new Chakra signature,
"THATS NOT HOW THIS DOJO WORKS!!! HYAAA!!!"
Almost instantly a wooden bo staff came into his hands as he swung it down ferociously towards the enw girl.
