The academy, where once upon a time the Hidden Mist grew it's reputation as the Bloody Mist due to it's gruesome practice involving academy students being pit against each other in a death match where the victor will graduate and the loser...well it's obvious. While this practice is discontinued, the academy still stands. Behind the structure is an open field where trees, ponds and earth are the only view trainees will get used to besides the ever present mist. Genins and other shinobi come here to hone their skills, thus becoming a more effective weapon in the Kirigakure Military.

Laram landed next to a little pond behind the academy. He decided on the spot for a couple of reasons. One, the water would help further his training. Two, it seemed like a nice quiet spot. He looked around for an signs of others, but he was alone.Good, nobody to disturb me.The first jutsu on the agenda was the Storm Mail. While Laram had worked on it before, he couldn't ever get the control down. Forcing the winds to wrap around his body, and stay there, proved to be difficult. He chocked it up to poor chakra control. Taking a deep breath, Laram began his work.
First and foremost, Laram needed to summon the winds to his side. Making the proper hand signs, he stretched out his arm and watched as the air began to circle around it fiercely. He took it slow, not wanting to lose his work. The winds reached his chest, and covered his torso immediately after. Soon his entire body was covered in the jutsu, besides his head."Well, here goes nothing."The armor sealed away his face, and he became completely covered in it. It was a struggle to maintain, but he seemed to be getting the hang of it."Alright, it's worki...."As he was speaking, his armor vanished from him. He scratched his head, not able to understand what he was doing wrong. [Storm Mail: 1/3]
Laram had been working for hours now. It took some doing, but he was finally able to keep his wind armor with him for a while. But he couldn't move while using it. That had to be remedied. After all, it didn't matter how much armor you wore, a sitting duck is a sitting duck. He tried to move his legs, but to no avail. The sheer force of the winds swirling around him, kept him in place. How was he going to make it work? There was something his was missing, but he couldn't figure it out. He cancelled the jutsu and sat in the grass. He needed to think. Everything about the jutsu requires chakra control. Does that mean that I need to strengthen it? But still, how much more would I have to? I can't budge my own limbs. They're being weighted down really heavily. [Storm Mail: 2/3]
Laram focused his chakra once again. Creating the handsigns, he watched the wind form around his body until he was completely covered. This was what he had been working for, a finished product. One that could be utilized in battle. It occurred to him that he was going about the process all wrong. He knew he couldn't move his limbs while inside the armor; but he realized that if he moved the wind, his body would follow along. He walked around, getting used to how he was going to move with the jutsu. It was difficult at first, but with time, it became natural. Soon, he was moving just as fast as if he wasn't wearing the armor. He had done it. [Storm Mail: 3/3] Learned

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -50 chakra poison
cutting through the academy to get to the training ground was dangerous due to the fact that most of the shinobi here would be unable to do anything should the worst happen and the plant get out of Kai’s control. Just as Kai entered the area leading from the academy to the training grounds the clone let out a cough and blood came from its mouth and the clone suddenly dispersed without warning. Poison water raining down all over Kai instantly effecting him causing his chakra to rapidly decrease and his stamina to fall greatly.
The plant now in the air began to produce its toxic fumes kai who was already poisoned took the initive and before the plant could fall to the ground he reached out and grabbed it in his hand using his free hand to create a series of signs his arm swelling with water once again trapping the plant away from oxygen. This amount of water would probably drown the plant however it also caused the poison to accelerate in Kai’s system. He rushed forwards knowing the fast movment would cause his heart to pump the poison through his body faster.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chakra:165 /370 Fighting Style: Jutsu Used: Suiton: Gōsuiwan no Jutsu [ Water Release: Great Water Arm Technique ] Rank: B By putting the Hydration Technique into practical use, the muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened. Moisture is gathered from the whole body and compressed into the entire arm, like an instant pump-up. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high. The technique gives the user superhuman strength, capable of breaking through both rock walls and steel doors
Arriving at the entrance of the academy the water shadow paused, simply staring at the structure. Like a trinkle of water through a wall of boulders, picture-like memories formulated in his mind. Going far back to when he joined the academy, and then when he first ran into Mika; that fateful encounter which he then slayed the one who violated the young girl. With silence he began walking around the building until he came upon one of the various doorways of the site, opening it and motioned Mika to come.
Once she did, he would stand before an empty room in which training was done by shinobi of various generations; a room of knowledge and trials and error. "Here...we'll work on some of your katon techniques. We happen to share a similar element so I will assist you in honing it" He stated, removing his kage hat and placed it on a desk located nearby a wall. Once more, he glanced around looking at the former room where he once trained long ago. In his eyes, he could also see the blood splatter across the walls, the images of kids fighting and rolling on the ground as if trying to kill each other with the kunai they brandished

Mika followed the kage into the building, hesitating a moment before entering herself. She didnt like the place as it was nothing but bloodshed for her. Very few good memories of the academy. She followed the kage into the room and leaned against the wall near the door frame listening to his words in silence. He already had the necessary information about her elements so she really had nothing to add. .

Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I; But when the leaves start trembling, the wind is passing through.
"YO SENSEI!" Zane exclaimed as he saw his old academy teacher exiting the academy. It was getting late and school had let out, the teachers were getting ready to leave. Zane's old sensei greeted him, remembering Zane all too well. The two continued to talk and share stories of how his sensei now has a problem child just as Zane was. What got Zane through the academy was Luo's tutelage. Often times, Zane would try to skip out on work or show up late to class. Luo pushed Zane to do well, just as Zane pushed Luo to play a prank on their sensei.
"Sensei, has there been anything out of the ordinary at the academy?" Zane asked him as he scanned the area. His sensei shook his head, stating that everything was running smoothly. Accepting the answer, Zane waved goodbye and broke into a run away from the academy. It would seem Zane's speed had increased slightly now that he was getting used to the weights. Should he remove them he would see the improvement.
Exit.

He didn't have much motivation today. He'd been hungover all morning, and the wrenching feeling in his gut was still there even now. He'd just have to grit his teeth and bear with it for a bit; this was like his workplace. Didn't want to make a bad impression, since he hadn't been a genin for so long. He looked around, but didn't seem to see anyone of interest. A few random people floating about the entrance, talking about casual, daily things. There were some academy students in the playground throwing rocks at each other and generally acting like children always did. He went further into the facility, and looked at the 'map' of it, plastered near the entrance. It seemed that Genin were supposed to go to a certain area in order to find instruction. Maybe there he could get a good idea of who might end up his squad leader. Maybe.
The Senju walked down the hall, shoving the academy students aside as they ran by. He didn't seem like the nicest person with the brightest spirit; he was here for power, and not play. When he finally found the door to the designated room, he took a deep breath, and turned the nob. The room was pitch black, and no one was inside of it. Flipping on the lights, he sighed. "They told me to come whenever I wanted..." Well, technically, that was true. The doors were always open. Didn't mean someone was gonna be there, though... Takahara made a silent decision; he'd just ditch this mess and go see the Kage. He hadn't talked to him before, and he heard that Genin had the privilege of doing so.

_____ＣＨＡＫＲＡ _ ＰＯＯＬ 1500 / 1500___Chakra Control Reductions: _____ＭＯＯＤ: Mood Here_____ＴＨＥＭＥ: ..just click_____ＯＯＣ: OOC Here_____ weapon: 5,000,000 pieces of paper The Jounin wandered into the academy. Choosing a training area that was both easy to find and also spacious. He sat down in an empty chair, rested his hands behind his head and crossed one leg over the other while he waited for the students to come in. He had picked one with a scroll rack on purpose so they could study before they practiced.
The trip to the Mizukage's office had been without point, apparently. But it didn't really matter to him; he had too much free time to ever consider himself wasting it. He'd get to train now, so there was still some excitement left in the day. "I'm ready for whatever. Just so you know, my elements are earth, water and wood. I'm a medical ninja. That's all there is to it." He'd hoped to learn kekkei genkai abilities and medical abilities, first and foremost. But if he had to start small then that was alright too. It all depended on the judgment of this Jounin whatever that decided to save him from the awkwardness of that office mess. The opportunity was here though, so it was time to start training. No messing around with this stuff. He'd scanned his brain for the itinerary he put out for himself; enhance chakra control, increase strength, learn some jutsu. He'd always been told by the teachers at the academy to focus on what he was born with. Not everyone had a kekkei genkai. He was special for having this unique and powerful blood. So he'd use it.
Wood Limbs/Chakra Control Of course, to ensure that he did not hurt himself, he decided to increase his chakra control first. Doing so was sort of familiar to him; as a medic, he'd always been taught to be extremely precise with how the flow of his chakra goes. There was a constant pressure to be regulating his own system, to the point where it became a habit as forced and inherent as breathing. He looked back on this training now, to help him control his chakra even more fiercely. It felt like his veins were tightening around this flowing energy. He breathed in, and out. Shockwaves of energy were breaking through the points of his chi; from his toes up to his brain. He had to re-organize the flow of chakra, and tighten his control of it. A painful way to increase your power. But he managed it, with a lot of successive errors leading up to a conclusion. So, that chapter of his training was over.
The first technique he wanted to learn was the Wood Limb technique. It was basically a sort of manipulation move that allowed him to create pillars of wood to attack, defend, and so on. It'd also be fairly easy to learn, as Takahara was very learned on his kekkei genkai. He'd studied for the breaking moment of actually learning these jutsu for quite a while now. The chakra control portion of it was sort of easy, sort of hard. He'd already spent time increasing his control, to the point where a B-ranked jutsu was only as difficult as some of the beginner techniques he'd learned earlier. He focused the chakra in his system very precisely, and used it to pull these pillars of wood from the earth. They rised up in front of him, and fell limp at first. It took a lot of brain work and increasing adrenaline to get them to move the way he wanted, and at that point he'd become very happy with his performance. Chakra control, and one jutsu, down. It was funny that he'd spent so many years in the academy when actually learning techniques was this easy.
Great Forest Technique The second jutsu in the batch would be a difficult one, surely. It was similar to the one he'd just done, but on a much larger scale. It involved changing his own arms into very large trees, meant to attack enemies, grasp them, capture them. It was freaky to think that he'd be altering his genetic material, but he knew that his family was sort of renowned for their freak tactics. And also renowned for the efficiency and power of their jutsu. With that being said, the semantics of it only effected him in the most base and idiotic way. He focused his chakra through his arms, and slowly began to convert the energy into a more specific Mokuton energy. This also meant changing his genetic material, which seemed impossible to explain from a medic's standpoint. But he could do it, as scary and bizarre as it sounded. He focused, harder. Continued to pump energy into his arms, slowly changing the way the energy moved and reacted with his physical material. The tips of his fingers became wood. A horrifying sight.
He continued on, regardless. The hand changed into wood, from the palm to the other side. Then it went down the wrist, the arm into the elbow, and all the way to his shoulders. He had two massive trees as arms, which was funny. Because this technique wasn't named tree limb when the other one, much less having to do with limbs and trees, was. Very silly people seemed to be the ones naming techniques.
Healing Hands The final part of his jutsu learning was healing hands, because what in the hell was a medic that didn't know how to use this technique? He'd seen it a hundred times, but only now would he actually have the opportunity to put his visual experience to work. However, this was probably going to be the most difficult ability to learn. While it was classified as the same rank as the great forest technique, he had less proficiency with medical techniques, as he was a bloodline specialist. That, and there was very little insight in this training area as to the specifics of medical jutsu. They had little to no scrolls, or books, or anything. He'd have to go off of memory, basically. The memory he had was putting an immense amount of chakra into the hands, mostly in the palms, and using every single ounce of chakra control you had to focus it to a point. The chakra was so immense and precise that it visibly showed pulsing out of your hands, and even made a sort of high-pitch wave of noise. It was a fascinating ability.
One that was very difficult to use, as he was proving to himself right now. He kept trying to do it, but something felt very wrong. He could start to see the chakra pulsing out of his hands, but it wasn't as much as he remembered, and there was no sound. Also, he wouldn't even be able to know if it actually healed, as he had no live subject. Well, that part was probably a non-issue. He turned his finger-tips into wood, and slashed down his knee. It hurt like a b***h, but at least he'd discover whether or not he could actually heal these wounds. His precise chakra control was eventually enough to mimic what he'd seen in his medical training, from the glow to the sound. Then, after applying the healing to his knee, he figured that the rate of regeneration and the depth of it was enough. The technique seemed to be complete.
"I'm done learning techniques, I think. I'm gonna take a little mental break before I start doing chakra training and strength training and whatnot." He could at least celebrate his progress. He'd done way more today than he ever did in the academy. Ever.

Oh, hey... Judau here.
So, um... Can ya listen to this?
The trip from the Kage's tower to the entrance of the academy was more pleasant that expected, thanks to some creative movement under hanging roofs and even through open estabilishments, advoiding the rain's effects for most part. Judau knew it wouldn't matter much if the jonin that came before him decided to utilize the open fields as the training space, but there was a chance he could enjoy some indoor activity if lucky. Entering the main building that housed the few training rooms and scrolls, Judau was informed that a Jonin had recently entered a certain room. From the description, it was the subistitute. Entering the room, Judau spoted his trainer. The other genin seemed to already underway on his training, but Judau decided to not interfeere as of now. Taking a better look about, Judau noticed the scroll rack. "So, uh.... I'm free to pick and choose, right?" Was his question before grabbing the topmost scroll, with basic Suiton. While Judau was better with weapons, he figured he could wait until he was at the dojo to go phisical. While in the academy, ninjutsu was priority... That, and he lacked scrolls to his fighting styles. He promised to master the mist sword style after all.
[Mizu Soujuu 1/1] Before making any jutsu with water, first, it was needed to create the water itself. There was moisture in any air, and Kiri's was no exeption... Rather, it was the rule, as the piss-poor visibility of the immediate area would proove. It would be simple enough to draw it out. Focusing his chackra around his hands, Judau took a deep breath, moving his left arm upwards with an open palm. His yellow-stained chackra started to take form around the hand and some sparkles started to form above the palm. It didn't take long for the sparkles to reveal themselves small water drops that were being formed. Judau was utilizing a minimal amount of chackra, just to see if he could do it, but he felt he could do a lot more if he wished... But wetting the scroll room seemed rather counter-intuitive. With the mall puddle in hand, Judau set forth another small burst of chackra, making the poodle disssipate into mist.
Chakra 305/310 Current weapon/hand: ( ) Technique: Mizu Soujuu (E) -5
Entering the academy she found the two genin she was supposed to train making her way over to them. She then looked the genin over. "Well it could of been worse." She said this to nobody in particular but she had said it out loud. She then smiled slightly looking around. "Well you guys seem to know what you are doing so i'm just gonna sit back." She grabbed a chair pulling it over to her and sat facing the back of it like she had in the kage office. "Go ahead and continue training while I supposedly watch I guess." As she then shrugged laying her arms across the back of the chair resting her head on her arms. "Oh and the names Selene, step out of line and i will just blow you sky high." She was mostly using this as a scare tactic.
Chakra Training: Meditation #1 He bowed slightly to the new arrival, a white haired lady with a very provocative... fashion. He wasn't sure what to make of her threat to blow them "sky high", but Takahara figured it was just a joke or some sort of weak taunt. Whatever it was, it didn't interest him, since it was the other jounin who was training him. Maybe baldy would get his lessons from this Selene, though she seemed to show no interest. "Alright..." The Senju stood up, and patted off his chest. It was time to return to work. He had some chakra and strength training he needed to get done before the day's end. The chakra training was going to be very tedious. He would be going through meditation, as well as performance training. Meditation was very simple. You performed the proper handseals, and entered a sort of trance. It wasn't a still-meditation, but rather an active one. He'd be training his body to release more chakra, and allow more to flow through him. For that, he had to perform movements and other sorts of things that would be considered strange to those who didn't understand it.
He was sure these two Jounin would understand it, or they wouldn't be Jounin. Anyway, he began. With a quick string of seals, as well as some forced movements, he began to open up his body for a larger flow of energy. After a few minutes of repeating this cut-and-dry session, he sat down and began to meditate the common way; through stillness and tranquility. This was the part where he allowed the chakra he'd made room for to enter his body, and become a natural part of his system. He allowed all of the sound, the air, the thinking in the room to vanish as the energy flowed through him, like winds brushing against the leaves. His mind went tranquil, if not only for this brief moment. And when he came out of this embarrassing and bizarre sequence, he felt immediately the better. But not good enough to feel content. It was time for round two of this meditation training.
Chakra Training: Meditation #2 No amount of tranquility was enough to kick away Takahara's momentum. He was pumped and ready to learn as much as he possibly could, now that he'd finally been given the opportunity to learn techniques outside of bunshin and whatnot. Allowing the chakra to flow through him with successive handseals and reactive moments became less difficult this time around, which allowed him to focus on relaxing his body from the moment he begun his first seal. His body became the source of transparency for this chakra, which continued to surge through his muscles and veins as he called it into him. When the movements -- tedious as they were -- had finished, he quickly settled back into the much preferable meditative trance. He closed his eyes shut, with his knuckles meeting up against each other to signify the balance, and connection. The energy, with that, began to more easily flow through him.
It was only a little while before his body could allow this energy a home; he'd learned to regulate this larger amount of energy just as he knew how to control the smaller amount before. It was all about control. That's really what being a shinobi was all about.
Chakra Training: Performance #1, #2 Performance was much more draining. In fact, despite his new reserves, this method of training might even force him to rest for the night. It required using a multitude of techniques to ensure your body could handle controlling and releasing large amounts of chakra. He wasn't quite sure how it increased the total pool, but that didn't matter. His thoughts may have been sort of lost, but his body was unleashing bolts of energy, techniques of all kinds one after another. He'd begun with wood techniques, then basic abilities, and even some of his healing powers in order to ensure the necessary amount of chakra was being filtered in and out of his system. The influx of new energy felt very miniscule, but it was an improvement, so fine.
He knew his body could handle more, though. He focused energy through his arms, performing the Great Forest technique, changing his genetic material and whatnot. That technique in particular only cost him about a twentieth of his chakra, but it had the highest cost and most efficiency of the ones he knew. He continued to use it over and over, reverting his arms to regular, then doing it again. This certainly did feel like a workout for his chakra, whether control or amount. Though it was kinda nerve-wracking. Over time, he felt the energy slowly creep into his body, signifying that he had finished his chakra training. And that meant, finally, he'd be learning strength training. It'd been a damn long while, but he finally got to it.
Strength Training And it was so easy. Strength training was the most basic form of training. Humans had probably been doing it since before they were living in caves. This more advanced version was just 'muscle training', which was similar to working out. He pulled some weights from the corner of the room, and began to mesh chakra training and physical enhancement together, in order to permanently increase his strength. With each lift of his elbow, a layer of chakra thickened over his muscles. It was changing the fabric of it, making it tougher, and more capable. He stared silently at the other people in the room as he did this, the sweat flowing down his body. He'd been zerg-rushing his training today, so he looked anything but healthy and happy at the moment. He just didn't want that to show too well.
Weight training was all about "laps", you could call them. Lift [x] weight [x] number of times. That was really what all forms of training were about, at the core. This training wasn't hard, it was just tedious. Rinse and repeat and repeat and repeat. He'd be rinsing and repeating for his entire life, because that was what being a shinobi was all about; tedium. Best to get into the habit now. It already showed him some pretty magnificent results, and even now, he could feel his muscles strengthening and a grin growing on his lips.
"I'm done for today. If anyone needs me, I'll be at the ramen bar. Good luck, Hatori." He waved, but only briefly, gathered his things and left the large training area. --exit--
While Judau was still getting used with water manipulation, making mist apear around his body instead of over his hands, another person entered the room. She seemed older that the kage and moved in a way that hinted she was experienced. Asshe looked him and the Senju over, it was becoming clear she was the one that was assigned to lead the squad. On the other hand, she seemed a bit... Detached. Was she really a mentor? Well, not one to bring the ire of a experienced ninja that just returned from a 'top secret mission', it was probably better to stay quiet... For now. He did wonder where the expression 'blow you sky high' was comming from, but it was probably some manner of speaking, right?
[mizu no yaiba 1/4 (1/1)] Now that the genin knew how to form water in it's unadultered state, it was time to learn how to put that into a actual battle-worthy jutsu. Just beside the Mizu Soujuu jutsu was a technique Judau was aways interested in. Over time, one learns that mantaining phisical weapons in shape was bothersome and sometimes, costly. The Mizu no Ya jutsu would not only allow judau to keep a weapon that did not need constant maintenance at all times, but also allowed that he had access to largeweapons without having to buy or scavenge for them. He would start with the E ranked version. It was just making a wakizashi sized blade, but it would open the path to the later levels. Forming the water around his palm as he was doing before, Hatori focused the flow of the liquid into a line, taking the form of a long sebon that started growing thicker and thicker, until it was about as large as the sword Judau carried on his belt. The shape was fluid, but it was obviously enough a sword.
[mizu no yaiba 2/4 (1/3)] But even if he made this small blade, it probavly was not as battle-worthy as it could or should be. With the eyes of the two jonins on him, Judau was a bit nervous, but confident that their presence could make accidents a dificult ordeal to happen. Pushing his chackra further into the air following the blade's line, Judau was atempting to make the water blade longer to advance into the more usable levels. As the chackra formed and grew, the form of the Yaiba started flickering... Strange, but it was probably common. Soon enough, it was reacing the ideal size. Was, because before it could become a katana-sized weapon, the water violently jumped into the wall, surprizing Judau. The academy was mostly waterproof, so the failed blade just started to make it's way towards the floor. It seemd this was harder that expected.
[mizu no yaiba 3/4 (2/3)] No matter, it was just to show how much more there was to work on. This time, Judau would try to create the short sword quicly before another atempt at the Genin-class blade. Concentration once again, Judau closed his eyes for a second. He felt the moisture form around his whole body before being all directed atonce towards his hand. The blade sprung with a good amount of speed from the left palm of the shinobi, and with a satisfatory grin, Judau atempted once again to create the katana. This time, not only focusing in prolonging the blade, he also would atempt to direct his chackra around the blade's length, in an atempt to keep it's form and advoid the flicker from last time.
[Mizu no Yaiba 4/4 (3/3)] Another failiure, but this time, it was diferent. The blade didn't just violently jerk itself out of his hand, but the 'handle' became completely liquid for a second, throwing the whole sword into a wave that was hard to mantain and thus fell to the ground. cursing a bit under his breath, Judau tought for a moment... He was sure his brother-in-law had given him a tip about water jutsu of this nature... Oh yhea! This time, instead of forming the blade directly, Judau closed his left hand and placed an open right palm over it facing upwards... The Jin seal was usually utilized when atempting to create harder forms of water and the position of the seal were perfect to create a sword from air without complication to hold it. Judau once again started to gather the water around him, making his image rather blurry depending on the angle one observed him from and concentrated upon the blade, he HAD to do it this time. As the time ticked inside his head, he felt the correct amount of water had formed. Without passing through the short sword version of the jutsu, Judau slashed the air with his left hand and all the moisture collected almost immediatly into a sword about 80cm long... He succeded.
[Mist style - Double Side 1/1] Now that he had a sword in hand, it would be a shame not to qtempt to learn a few weapon techniques, even if there were no scolls around... But he remembered his old teacher performing one or two and Judau had a talent for learning this kind of thing anyway. Firstly, a proper way to swing the word. One would think this was a simple matter, but it was crucial to get used to this kind of movement. The mist style was all about rithim and this slash was used to keep it. Diferently from a normal horizontal slash, the double side, as it was called, required to keep a firm grip on the index and middle finger, but relax the ring and little one, allowing a firm, but flexible strike. While the Water sword was not as solid as a normal one, the technique was usable... And Judau made his slash, remembering how it felt back at the academy... Quick, firm and open to continuations.
[Mist Style - Breaching Side 1/2] But when all you have is a simple slash, it's not likely that victory will come. One must also be aware about how to give solid blows that can break an oponent's guard and the shifting side was perfect for that. As Judau prepared to do it, his fellow genin made his way out of the academy, already done. "Thanks, i'l probably be on my way there once i'm done as well." Looking towards the jonins, Judau added. "Unless you have other plans for me, of course." This other technique required a bit more 'finesse' around the lower body. Similar to many other styles and techniques, it all started on how to step foward. The trick was putting most of the momentun upon the knee before straightening it as the sword connects.
[Mist Style - Braching Side 2/2] But just knowing the way to peform the technique was one thing, peforming it was another one entirely. While Judau was still in the academy, he atempted this sllash a number of times, but never got it quite right, always lacked the 'omph' that was needed. But the last time he tried was nearly a month ago, before focusing on reviewing basic ninjutsu for the exam. Maybe the phisical training from that point to here was all he needed. With a slash from the left to right on what seemed to be an imaginary oponent, Judau then proceeded to take asudden dash foward, striking from right to left while pushing the ground with his left leg. The power of the strike was almost palpable as the water blade slashed the air... Judau could tell, it was ready.
While the techniques were simple, the chackra used to create and mantain the Yaiba was tiring Judau faster that he usually would; keeping up training might not be a good idea without some rest beforehand. Pointing the sword towards a window, Judau allowed it to jump from his hand as it did the first time it was summoned, keeping the room from becoming littered with puddles. Judau saw the Senju practice chackra manipulation, but he was unsure he would do the same... Instead, he would see if there was anything in the jonin's mind. "While i could continue 'free training', i was ondering if you have any plans in mind, miss... Selene." Judau was never too good with names, but he remembered her well enough after about half a second.
