Kouse & salzem training session

• chiha kouse watched as salzem explained to him how to perform the jutsu. 
Salzems hands moved to a tiger sign, He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, letting his body relax.. Kouse intently Watched. 
'Let your chakra run through you' Salzem had said 'Once your chakra reaches it's climax of fluctuation, send it out around you like a ripple in a flat surface lake'.
That was easier said than done.
Kouse wanted to tie this jutsu down as quickly as he did the former one..he had to get strong enough to be able to challenge in the chunin exams by .
He smiled thoughts of saori and his preparation for the chunin exams came rushing back to him.
He had met saori the day he learnt his first Technique, the transformation tech. 
The first thing she said to me was 'well someone is happy of something ' then she had taken it up on herself to slam him to the ground and continued talking to him like she just threw down a pesky puppy....
'quit struggling, for a lad ur size ur attempts at escape are far too disappointing, well I see channeling and using ur chakra is still a chore for u.. Ur 17yrs old for heavens sake.. Most ninjas ur age are already chunin even jounin and ur sitting down here a ninja academy student, laughing' she had said to him. 
The next time they met was the day he learnt about the clone Technique, she had made sure he understood the ropes when she took him on a wild goose chase.. Chasing her clones all over konoha, damn that looks embarrassing now.
That was when she actually introduced herself 'I'm saori senju,i was your instructor yesterday nice to meet you... On better circumstances' 
He remembered how she had changed the topic of the conversation instantly when she knew he was about to start drilling her with questions... 'okay whatever you have to ask and say to me,please let's save that until you pass your genin exams but for now it's time to learn the clone jutsu' 
Kouse shook his head as memories on how she quickly and efficiently explained the clone Technique to him 'i have 20 minutes for you and 10 Uchiha kouse had watched as salzem explained to him how to perform the jutsu.

Kouse shook his head as memories on how she quickly and efficiently explained the clone Technique to him 'i have 20 minutes for you and 10 minutes already up in showing you first hand what making clones can do to an unsuspecting person, especially an academy student' saori had teased him. 
'The clone jutsu, is an in battle tactical
jutsu. it is used as a distraction. You create a clone of
yourself, that has no actual mass as you just experienced, It can't fight, but it can
draw your opponents attention away from you' she had explained.
And also how she made him stay and practice what she had taught him.. 'your gonna stay here and keep practicing until... Well until you can create four clones and sustain them for a respectable period of time, and if you feel weak or dizzy during practice, take a nap right on this bench and when you wake up you continue,and remember the key instructions: concentration, chakra manipulation, hand signs.. Later' and she had vanished in a thick wad of smoke.
Memeories of his genin exam flashed through his mind, but fortunately for him no shocks were waiting for him and he had passed brilliantly.

Now here he was in the middle of the training ground trying to perform the jutsu called chakra sensory.
Kouse took a deep breath, closed his eyes and became as concentrated as a human could possibly be. 
He made his body relax, he willed his chakra to build up within him, made it run through him, then slowly started making it fluctuate, he kept at it, putting in more chakra and increasing its fluctuation more and more and more until his limit was reached, he released it out from his body like a ripple into the surroundings.
Nothing happened and he was confused.. Why didn't it work, what did he do wrong?
He kept wondering until it hit him... He hadn't done the hand sign!. 
He tried it again, doing what he did previously.
His hands came up to lock on the tiger sign just as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, yeah he was truly concentrated at the task at hand. 
He made his chakra build within him, made it run through him,made it fluctuate  slowly at first then slowly increased its fluctuation, more and more and more and yet more until at his possible limit he let it lose at once like ripple on a water body. 
When he released his chakra he felt it, the location of the different people he hadn't previously noticed. 
He smiled at himself,he tried doing it again, he wanted to get more fluid at doing it. He redid everything he just previously did and released his chakra and felt the familiar locations but something felt amiss with one chakra signature.. It was stationary and not moving... It felt awkward.. He impulsively turned to look at that location and spotted someone who was looking right at him. 
Saori had neglected to hide her chakra all the time she spied on kouse, she knew he couldn't sense her, but when he sharply turned to stare right at her, it startled her to the bone, she then realised that maybe the jutsu he was learning was a chakra sensory jutsu After all...she didn't want to meet him yet and not like this so she bolted.
Kouse could've sworn he recognised the individual that he just saw vanish after being discovered, but he couldn't simply place who it was, but he knew that individual was a ninja. 
Kouse smiled, if any ninja in konoha saw him to be important enough to spy on him then he was flattered, it looked like he was finally getting some recognition in the ninja community.
He turned to look at salzem. 
"so how did I do?"... Kouse added "and it looks like it's getting late, should we call it a day?" 

Wc(1008)

Salzem nodded, impressed with Kouse's determination and skill with what he taught. He would get up, stretching.. Before Salzem went on about his business, he'd put a hand on Kouse's shoulder and smile reassuringly.

"You'll be fine." Salzem said before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.
