Kicking it (Open)

Body flicker? he wondered to himself, but it wouldn't move him very fast. He nodded and formed the tiger seal, drawing chakra from with in himself. The chakra continued to come forth up from with in Taiga it wasn't much but it was enough to preform the simple jutsu, as Taiga reached his maximum he exploded in a cloud of snow white smoke leaving nothing where he had once been standing but instead he was three meters behind the leader, assuming the leader did not turn around.

For a brief moment, after the boy disappears he looks around. Checking to see where his new destination would be. He is slightly startled to see him behind him, but he doesn't show it, instead he speaks once more. "Congratulations, body flicker in itself is Ninjutsu. It requires chakra control, in order to maneuver with it from one place to another. Not to mention it makes you unable to use you physical abilities while under it's influence, forcing you to control the chakra within yourself. Now you must perform an actual ninjutsu jutsu. With with a greater level of difficulty. I'm sure somewhere in your arsenal one exists." He smiles, and waits for the boys reply. If he could perform the next jutsu with ease, then he will have learned Ninjutsu. If not, then...they had all day to continue.

Taiga was surprised to hear the words from his leader, but he accepted them gladly. He then began to think about the question he had been asked and remembered that there was a certain jutsu he knew but never really used it to the best of it's ability. Taiga placed his hands together creating the monkey seal and began drawing forth chakra, he then pushed it down forcing he chakra to sink itself into the ground. It took a moment to force the chakra into the ground but once there Taiga began to try and manipulate in the dirt below his feet. Taiga began to shake hes chakra in a wavy form to try and loosen the dirt and after a moment or two he sunk into the ground and had successfully completed the jutsu for hiding like a mole. Upon returning to the surface which required less effort from Taiga, he responded "Well how was that?" he said smiling hoping for a good answer.

Watching the boy perform the necessary hand signs, he silently prays for his attempt to be a success. Once the boy begins to seep into the earth he exhales softly. Relieved that they would not have to spend the entire day training Ninjutsu, as he thought they would. While he did not mind training one of his ninja, in fact he enjoyed being able to teach them, however at the moment he considered time to be very precious. He would have to train, until he became deserving of the rank 'Leader'. "That was perfect!" Chrollo smiles slightly after saying this. He back steps, and moves to the front of the boy, creating a distance of five meters between them. If they were going by what was said earlier, in his chambers, then now would be the time for them to prepare for a brief spar. It would be their last time sparing together, and Chrollo wanted to go all out, with restrictions of course. Though first, like Taiga he too needed to learn a jutsu. An Wood jutsu he had recently been studying. He would try, and perform the jutsu in this spar, if given the chance. "Alright. Since that is over with we should get ready for this spar. Once we're finish, we'll head straight to Shimagakure No Sato. So try not to tire yourself too much." After saying this, he looks directly at the boy, and waits for him to prepare himself. He wonders if the boy will establish any rules for this spar. No matter, he would leave that up to him.

While waiting, he thinks of better idea. Instead of them sparring now, they could head off directly to Shima. It would be better for them to do this, since it would give them more time to remain on the island. Not to mention an important thought had slipped his mind. By leaving this time he would truly be leaving the village defenseless. He would have to buff up the village's protection before leaving, or at least think of a return route, just in case the village is attacked while he is away. "You know what...I think we should head off now. Some things have come up, and I don't want to leave any loose ends before leaving." He walks to the boy, placing his hand on his shoulder in a comforting manner. "Why don't you head home, to your family, and finish preparing yourself that way?" He pats the boy on the shoulder, and waits for any ending formalities. "The next time we see eachother will be in Shimagakure No Sato, unless you leave the village with me? I'll be waiting for you at the gates today." Ending their brief meeting, he would wait for the boy to walk away, and leave the chambers. While he would not be sparring he still felt it necessary for him to at least learn a new jutsu. It would have to be an easy one though, making him throw out his plan of learning the wood release jutsu.

Standing in the field alone, he quickly tries to think of a jutsu he would be able to learn before leaving the village. Currently the ones he had were all too powerful to use. While that may come across as a good thing, he saw it as bad. The better, and more powerful the jutsu also meant he would have to spend more chakra to conjure it into existence. Which would without a doubt end in him being tired, and fatigued. So, he would have to think of a more simple jutsu he could use, to keep himself from passing out trying to uphold a jutsu too powerful. "Aha!" He snaps his fingers, while standing in the center of the field, a smile spreads across his face, once he realizes the jutsu he will be training. 'Suiton: Suidanha', he begins to kneed chakra within himself. Raising both hands he would quickly perform the seals necessary to activate the jutsu. Feeling the chakra rise within himself, he would suck in a gust of air, and draw his head backwards. "Suiton: Suidanha!" He blows outwards, a wave of water expels from his mouth rippling through the air it travels forth away from him at a dangerous velocity before falling to the ground, once it's maximum range is reached. He had learned the jutsu on his first try. At least that is what would have happened in a perfect world. In reality, he merely spit out enough water to fill a jar. It didn't travel a single meter away from him, and it also didn't appear to be as threatening as it had been when he read about it. Cursing under his breathe he decides he would have to enter the chambers again, and head back to his room.

Slowly walking from the center of the field, he pushes open the old door, and walks through the halls of the chambers. His presence immediately draws the attention of those waiting in the lobby. He nods respectfully to them, and pulls on the door handle to his room. Closing the door behind him softly, he walks into his office, and takes a seat at his desk in the old chair. He pulls open the drawer to his left, and removes a small pocket sized book. Flipping through the pages he comes upon the jutsu he had just attempted to learn. It takes him a little over half an hour to read the section of the book pertaining his jutsu. In fact he re-read it three times just to be sure. Standing up from the chair, he exits the office, and walks through the chambers until he is standing outside once again, in the center of the field. A hundred yards separates him from his office. He takes a moment to steady himself. Calming a small amount of nervousness that had risen since his previous failed attempt on the jutsu earlier. He performs the seals once more, this time he takes his time, not intending to rush through the jutsu as before. Forming a single hand seal, Tiger. "Suiton: Suidanha!!" He arches his back while leaning forward, his head pointed forward he expels the water from his mouth. It exits his mouth in a thin torrent rippling through the air, this time it was not his imagination, he was actually doing the jutsu. At least until it fails, before reaching it's maximum range, as said in the book, the water falls to the ground. Sighing loudly, he decides to call it a day. He would have to finish learning the jutsu some other time. He felt strangely close to completing it though, so in that sense his confidence had risen a bit. Walking away from the field, he enters the chambers, and takes a seat in his office once more.

[Exit, well not really since it's my office.]

Taiga nodded as he leader said their goodbyes, he then smiled and spoke. "Well thank you for the training and I am glad to see your thinking a head, I will meet you at the gates as soon as I get somethings together." with that he signed the tiger seal and was gone in a puff of smoke.
