Welcome to Gaia! ::

After jirobou had finished his meal he led Suoh silently back out to where they had first met only a little more westward. They were safely out of the vincinity of the town and still within distance of the rice fields. Suoh knew this would not be an easy battle. He had no free water and using the water from the rive fields could potentially destroy the village crops and he was not about to make hundreds starve. he knew he did have one trump card. If he could get Diety in a Body Entry the whale would fall hard onto Jirobou.

Suoh watched as Jirobou pulled out a kunai. Suoh knew he could possibly take a beating in this battle. Suoh pulled out two of his needles knowing his weaponry was vary precious and he would need to be very careful with it.

Jirobou closed the gap first. The large man came bounding quickly toward Suoh. As Jirobou came closer he raised his meaty fist with the twinkly black Kunai. Suoh reacted fast and was able to get off a single needle hard enough into the side of Jirobou's hand to cause a muscle twitch and have him drop the knife.

The distance between the two had been bridge although suoh had disarmed his enemy. Jirobou landed and hard tackle into Suoh. Suoh went sprawling backgrounds rolling hard in the dust. Suoh got up but Jirobou had already bolted across the field and called out Rising Impact Palm. Suoh once again was not fast enough to block the hit. Suoh was sent in a flip through the air but he was able to land on his feet. He had already cut his palm and pushed his chakra hard into the ground as he landed. He called for his summon Diety.

The implosion of white smoke about Jjirobou's head made it apparent the whale had been successfully summoned. The whale fell back to earth like it had been shot from a cannon. It landed hard on Jirobou.

((I think I have been saying I am in sand but I just realized jirobou is a sound ninja. I got the right thread wrong town... ^_^))

Suoh performed the hand symbols more distinctly this time to give him time to think about the necessary chakra for this technique. When Suoh had completed the necessary initiators he dropped to one knee and with his palms on the ground focused on a cube of earth in front of him. He felt his chakra trying to fizzle out into the vast expanse of ground but Suoh kept a tight control over his intentions. Trying to mold his chakra into a perfect cube instead of the abstract form of water. A small ine of dust rose as he could see the land cleave itself to clearly create the outline Suoh had intended but the land didn't flip up.

Suoh once again stood up and wiped the sweat form his brow. The amount of chakra he had meant to expend was much smaller than what he actually did. having a natural inclination toward water his chakra stores were weakened even a little further. He realized just how hard it was to lift the earth. When molding water into techniques the chakra energy charges up with water and makes it almost weightless to the caster; however, molding earth meant first the user had to delicately control the output and then had to lift however much they could muster because the nonpolar sand naturally repels the energy of the chakra. Suoh realized he hadn't done much physical training recently and quickly realized how much of a target he was when he was so far awayf rom water with his chakra stores beginning to wane.

Suoh focused his chakra and slammed his palms into the ground. He felt the chakra move out of his body into the ground. He mind was almost overcome with dozens of tasks. his hands had to maintain the molding of the chakra while he felt the strain of a constant flow in his shoulders. His legs tensed up as he prepared to lift whatever earth he could muster. Suoh focused on an area just barely the size of his body. He figured controlling the sand and chakra combination was the first most important thing when trying to learn this technique and after the basic chakra controls were masterred it would be much easier it work on increasing the size. Size again was especially a problem with his chakra stores already running low.

Suoh raised his butt in the air a little as he fought against the stress of the earth. He seemed to be pushing with his mind and pulling with his body until the earth in front of his jaggedly cracked and begant o shift into its propper position. Suoh almost raised it completely so it would be a wall but his legs and bceps couldn't take the strain and the wall crumbled into dozens of little clots as Suoh lost focus and his chakra waivered.

Suoh scrapped inside of himself and called out loudly with sweat dripping from his brow, "Earth Wall Land Flip" as he smashed his fists into the earth. Instantly a thousand things flooded his senses but each one seemed so new but so correctly placed. The sheet of earth inf ront of him raised up until it was perpendicular with its starting position. Suoh looked and saw that the wall like chunk was only about 6 inches deep and would most likely barely block any normal attack.

3/5

Jirbou threw several lightning fast punches. Suoh felt strangely light from using up so much chakra and bobbed in between the missile like limbs before taking several jumps backwards to distance himself. Jirobou was only about ten feet away but Suoh realized that was all the distance he needed. Jirobou leaned forward as if he was going into a charging tackle but Suoh was prepared. he hands flew through the symbols he had already commited into memmory and his palms were int he dirt. Suoh felt an initial strain as the earth lifted but he pushed what little chakra he had left through his arms keeping constantly aware of where all the sand was in his defensive wall. The wall itself was almost perfect. It was about a foot in thickness and just a little wider than Suoh and most definitely taller. Suoh realized if he could just focus on expanded his chakra in every direction at once the width of his defensive wall would become right over time.

Jirobou's shoulder hit the wall hard. Suoh winced as if the force of the wall had gone through the air and into his body. He opened his eyes to see his fingers were scrunching up in a whirwind of misfiring nerves. He kept focused ont he wall and he didn't feel any holes from which his chakra could leak. Jirobou had already backed away and was looked intently at the wall. Suoh tried smoothing his chakra out perfectly because something from deep inside his gut told Suoh that the sensei was looking for a weak point from which to attack.

"You learned fast. I suggest you eat dinner and get rested before we do any more training. I also expect you to make this wall more perfect before I teach you any new techniques."

Suoh pulled his bleeding hands out of the dirt and held them close to his body and the began swelling from the overuse of the muscles. He was just glad Jirobou was not able to get through his wall and now it was time for Suoh to wonder how he was going to feed himself.
