Training for new Jutsu![Private][Solo]

Tatsurama began walking to the Konoha training grounds hoping to get some training done to learn two jutsu. He planned to learn the Body Flicker technique, and the Earth Release: Moving Earth Core. A jutsu that would benefit him in battle in many ways. He always dreamed of becoming a respectable shinobi, and learning many types of jutsu. Hopefully with these two to start him off, he will learn many more to reach his goal, as he sure did need many more. As he arrived at the training grounds, he noticed it was surrounded by trees, and had a good smell in the air, soon it would mean a great deal to him, as he knows he would probably spend a great deal of time in this area learning many jutsu. "Well, lets get this show on the road eh? I guess i will learn the body flicker technique first, as it would likely prove more important than the other one, but i'm sure the other one will prove very useful as well haha."


Tatsurama moved through the field to reach the center, began to think about how he would do this. "Well, body flicker is a high speed movement using chakra to enhance your body to reach your highest speed instantaneously. So i guess i should start with practicing that first." He said as he began to focus and mold his chakra. He knew this would probably take him awhile, but he was ready. He began to gather a decent amount of chakra and shove it into his body and released it, hoping to give him the burst of speed to succeed the jutsu. As he released it he tried running forward, but to no avail, seemingly his chakra was wasted as nothing occured. Wondering why it failed, he began again, hoping to finally get the jutsu to work, he did the same thing, except this time tried placing the chakra internally in a different part of the body. This time his lower abdomen began to feel weird, as nothing else happened as well, taking it as a failure. "Maybe if i place the chakra into my legs, it'll work. I mean it makes sense at least." He began to form the chakra again, this time putting the in his legs. He also began to run, thinking maybe it needed a running start to get working. As he ran, he formed the handsigns of the jutsu, placing the chakra into his legs and then released it. His legs felt stronger, but his speed hardly increased. Although this was probably a step greater in learning it.

He began running around again, eventually beginning to feel sweat form on his skin, as he began to grin, thinking hes got this in the bag now. "Just gotta run and get faster and faster gradually until im at my limit." He began to form the handsigns, and as he ran, putting the chakra into his legs, began to speed up a little faster than last time. Eventually he would learn this jutsu, and could then move on to his next jutsu. He began running faster, and formed the handsigns again for the jutsu, this time speeding up more, and then he did it again, this time thinking to add chakra not only to his legs, but also to his feet, hoping to get a good burst of speed from it. As he ran, and formed the chakra for the jutsu, he realized he was able to speed up considerably faster after adding chakra to both his legs and feet. He was on the verge of getting it down, when he stumbled and hit a tree. "Ow, haha crap that hurt. Well, atleast im getting the jutsu down. It shouldn't be long now until i get it right." He said as he began to get up from hurting himself. After resting for a few moments recuperating, he decided it was time to start getting at it again. He wiped the sweat off his face, and took a sip of water from his jug, then set it down before beginning to run again. He placed the chakra in the same spots, and as he formed the handsigns, he began to burst forward in a straight line about 2 meters, then he formed it again, and this time was able to burst forwards 3 meters, and a tad faster.

"It seems all i need to do now is practice using it, as i've pretty much got the basics of it down. I just need to increase the speed and range of it now, and i should be good to go, and have the Body Flicker technique down pat." He began using it, this time getting a good 5 meters, and a bit faster. He stopped for a moment to catch his breath, as he was getting exhausted just using the jutsu over and over, although he was quickly able to recuperate thanks to his Senju body. He began again, this time he used the clone jutsu to spawn two clones that moved to varying distances to set as markers to reach. He began to run, quickly forming the handsign, then burst at a quick speed at the first clone, making it about halfway. He went backwards to his original spot, and tried it again, this time getting three quarters of the way, and then went back, and did it again to finally reach the first clone. "Whew, almost got this jutsu down. Now i just need to focus a little bit more on the range, and then more on the speed." He began to gather more chakra into his legs and feet, and formed the handsigns and this time burst at a much quicker speed, reaching the second clone at three quarters of the way already, thanks to the speed and range due to his chakra boost. He went back finally, and did it gathering even more chakra, and was finally able to reach the second clone, at his maximum speed, after forming the handsigns. He had now completed the Body Flicker technique, and could move on to his next jutsu, hopefully to succeed in learning that one as well.

Before he moved on to the next jutsu, he sat down and drunk some more water to refresh himself, and recuperate from running around and using a good amount of chakra learning the body flicker. Once he had mastered this next earth jutsu, he felt he could maybe hold his own in a fight. He wondered what kinds of jutsu he would learn later on. Planning on learning water release as well, and learning jutsu from that element too. Perhaps even the element of his forefathers, the Wood Release. The element his clan has performed for generations now.

After his rest he got up, and walked over to the middle of the training field, and began to think about his next Jutsu. "Alright so the Moving Earth Core is an Earth Release jutsu, so it will require the change in chakra nature to earth, and the handsigns are a clap, and then palming the ground. Sounds simple enough, but will it be? Probably not." He then sighed, as he knew this would probably be another exhausting jutsu to learn. After pouting for a few moments, he began to get serious, feeling determination set through his body, and began to gather and mold chakra into his palms, changing the chakra then into Earth elemental chakra, and then leaned down and palmed the ground, hoping it would work. It seemed not, as all it did, was make the ground rumble, and move a few rocks, just as it did when learning his other earth release technique at first. And knowing that jutsu, he knew it would be a pain. He began to go again, forming the chakra into his palms, and then bending over and palming the ground, hoping he could get it to work further. It seemed to have the same effect, this time just move the earth a little more than last time. 

"I guess it has to do with controlling my chakra as i palm the ground, and then maybe increasing the amount of it at the same time as changing the chakra into the earth elemental property. Ugh.." After coming up with this new revelation on his how his jutsu probably works, he tried again. This time closing his eyes to focus, and then gathering the chakra, this time more, into his palms, then changed them into the earth properties, then clapped his hands together and bent over and palmed the ground again. This time holding his place with his palms, and loading more chakra, at the same time as changing it into earth. The earth began to rumble more so than the other two time, and began to form a small earthen wall, no bigger or higher than his knees as he opened his eyes to witness this beautiful step to learning this jutsu. "Alas! The jutsu is beginning to form itself to my will, hahaha. Although its still puny!!!" He yelled out in agony, as he knew there was still a long way to go for this.

He began again forming the same step, as the change in chakra nature, and the appropriate amount necessary. He clapped his palms together, then palmed the ground as he bent down, and another rumble quaked the ground as a bigger mound of earth formed in front of him about 2 meters away. It seemed he was starting to get the hang of it, but it still had a ways to go, as it needed to be bigger, and stronger. He could probably knock the it down somewhat easily if he tried, seeing as how it was still in its early stages of infancy. He began again, forming the same jutsu with his same steps, this time forming it underneath himself, to push him upwards into the air with it. The earth rumbled, and a decent sized earth pillar arose from the ground, lifting him up with it. At the top of the pillar he could see above the trees a good bit, and he began to look around at everything, at at the village outskirts nearby. "Oh i'm sure gonna love using this technique. This will be so useful haha." He then jumped down off of it, and began to mold chakra again. 

After a moment of molding it, he changed it into earth and clapped his palms together then palmed the ground again. This time seeing how high and far away from himself he could move the earth. As he palmed the ground, he was able to raise a wall of earth about 20 m away, at 20 m high. The platform was about 5 m thick, and 5 m wide. Assuming this was his limit for it about now, he seemed pretty proud of his accomplishment, and then decided to sit down and take a rest for a few minutes happy he had learned the jutsu pretty much. "Whew, now all that i need to learn on this jutsu, is lowering the earth again. Which i can probably do pretty easy." After a minute or two he got back up and clapped his palms together then palmed the ground, bringing his biggest platform back down to ground level, and then did it again, and then finally came back to his kneecap height platform that he made.

"Alright little guy, thanks for helping me understand this jutsu. Now i can use this to full effect in battle, if i ever have the need to." Tatsurama said as he began to grin, and then wiped the sweat of his face for the last time, and then palmed the ground after clapping, and began to sink the small platform back to how it was originally. He then stood up and went over to his jug of water and picked it up and began to head out of the Konoha training field happy he was able to learn those two jutsu.
