Black & Blue (P/Training/Nk)

Although the midday sun shined bright as ever through the rest of the village, within the black forest it was noticeably darker. Black trees flooded the area; their white veins giving them stunning contrast. There was generally about three to five meters between each tree, so there was enough room to run around but one would have to watch their step.

Within the depths of the forest Kuragari sat against a tree, breathing semi-heavily. While there was not a cloud in sight the ground around him was littered with puddles and patches of wet grass. It looked as if a storm had rained on this one particular area, and there was actually a path of water that almost resembled a river. As Kuragari took a deep breath in and weaved 6 hand signals.

"Water Release: Snake's Mouth!"

Kuragari would exhale this breath, only instead of air coming out it would be a column of water. As the water sprayed from Kuragari's mouth it would take shape with the front of the column forming into a serpent's mouth. This water snake would continue to flow and weave its way in between trees for about 15 meters until it eventually lost it's form and fell to the ground. Kuragari began to breath heavily again, but a faint smile came across his face.

"Alright, that's one meter more than before, I'm getting somewhere." He said to himself. He could hear Gyuki chuckle at his remarks inside his head, however he paid no attention to the beast and made the handseals again. With his mind set on perfecting this jutsu, Kuragari would spray another serpent from his mouth, working on extending the distance he could use it.
