On his way home. (Training topic, Nk.)

Aqua would take some time to rest in cave before his journey to the skyscraper, spending the night in a cave. When Aqua woke up it was dark, it was morning, and he was sore. He didn’t usually sleep in a cave with his armor. Now that he was awake he figured he would eat some food and do some training for the shadow clone jutsu. He remembered that in times before this many people used the shadow clone to make themselves great ninja but it was one a leaf only technique. Now that all the villages have regrown and many of the jutsu we all had were shared amongst all the villages Aqua was able to learn the technique in the mist village when he was younger. Then in the Skyscraper village he learned it even more, having his teachers knows the technique and then his other peers do the same. He decided that he was going to learn the technique himself. In the caves that he was in he could master the technique and get him ready to move onto the next village on his journey through the world. As a ninja from the mist village he would have learned the water clone but alas the shadow clone would be the first type of clone that he would learn.
                After a few minutes of warming up his chakra and getting some food from his pack and eating it he would begin to train the technique. After attempting to concentrate on the technique for a while and visualizing the technique to its fullest he would begin to learn the technique and do the hand sign for it. After completing the handlings he would yell out into the air “Shadow clone jutsu”. HE would begin to feel the chakra and the stamina drain from his body a puff of grey and white smoke would appear five meters from his location. After a few moments he thought that he had done it on his first try and mastered the technique. However he would realize that he was mistaken and the jutsu did not work. The chakra that he thought was transferred to his shadow clone had only dispersed and been reabsorbed back into his body revealing that the puff of smoke he had created was only just a puff of smoke. Looking to the area that the shadow clone should have been he realized that he had failed. As he then walked toward the area he tried to figure out all that he had messed up before. What had he done wrong? What could he have done better to make sure that the clone would have actually appeared? No matter after a few minutes of not being able to come up with a response to his problem he realized that the only way he was going to beat this was if he did it again and again until he had done it. Aqua senju was not someone he would back down from a fight. He was one that would make any challenge he had and do it until he had nothing else left to do.
                He was ready to try again with the technique, and this time he was going to do it. When he would yell into the air he would think about all the things he had to do to make a successful technique, he would have to visualize to clone and realize that his technique would have to make a clone that was exactly similar to himself for it work and that if it did work there would no way for him to realize if the ninja was a clone or not. Now with the technique in his mind and the handsign ready to do it he would then say the words one more time “shadow clone jutsu” with the voice \that he had at the top of his lungs. This time the amount of chakra that he was using was great and the technique was going to work, or at least he thought that it was. With the puff of smoke now gone and his chakra not returning he turned his head to the location of what he thought was where the clone of himself was going to be. Alas the technique did not work. Well it did work but just not in the way that he would want it to. The clone would appear lifeless and dead on the floor of the cave as a pale and skinny replica of himself. The clone had failed because it could not even do one thing as the technique did not make sure that the entirety of his essence was transferred to the clone. Although it was not the clone that Aqua would have wanted it was still progress for the young ninja and his work would pay off. But for now it was time for him to leave the cave and head back to the village.
