Kaen's Rasengan

Kaen breathed in and out before gently closing his eyes. He flowed chakra throughout his system all day, evening, night, afternoon, you name it, and he'd tell you it was right. Did anyone know why Kaen was doing this, and well the answer was a certified no.

Of course, Kaen knew what he was doing, but his father was confused. It's simple really. It was just that he was going to learn his first A-Rank technique called the Rasengan that totally wrecks everything in his way. Oh, poor anti-climatic Kaen Yuki, ready to learn his first A-Rank as if it was nothing.

Of course, Kaen had done an extensive search on how to learn the skill. It didn't require any element as the most advanced stage of the Rasengan had. That variation of the Rasengan requires a Wind Element to make it stronger and more explosive. Don't even get Kaen started on the Rasenshuriken. It would be too hard to learn that as it was an S-Rank technique, and if he wanted to acquire that, his chakra coils would have to be more developed.

Kaen reminded himself of something as he was talking about more developed chakra coils, it was going to be his birthday soon, and he needed to invite everyone he had met in the past year. Chisana, Senshi, Max, Reizo, and Itami. He had still yet to meet that other Yuki that was theorized to be in the village, but one day! That had also reminded Kaen of something as he was going to learn how to control his Kekkai Genkai, and it would be an understatement if he yelled at the top of his lungs 'finally!' 

"What're you doing Kaen?" His father asked once again as this was his fifth time today, and Kaen was going to ignore it if he hadn't heard his father put his coffee on top of the drawer in his room. His skin had regained its peachy color, and he had dyed his hair back to its coal-black natural color. Kaen sighed as he opened his eyes glaring at him for a second causing his father to grab his coffee and walk out of the room whistling as if nothing had just happened.

Kaen sighed in relief as he closed his eyes and entered his meditative state again. His chakras were flaring at high speeds within his body as he had been doing it when he had slept and when he was awake. Kaen breathed in and out once again, and the smell of coffee had interrupted his thoughts. Kaen instantly opened his eyes, and he started shaking in rage. He looked up at his father even though his bangs cast a shadow on his face hiding his eyeballs except for his furious expanding pupil.

His father this time ran but comically forgot his coffee, so he had to run back to grab his coffee and scurry out of the room again. Don't laugh Kaen, if you do your concentration and chakra will be canceled off, don't laugh-

Kaen couldn't help it as he burst out laughing causing him to fall over holding his gut as the wrenching pain of constant laughter had taken over. It was good to see his father back to his usual self, even though he had just made Kaen lose the first step to learning the Rasengan. The Rasengan could wait as he stood up and chased after his dad, and quite quickly he might add as chakra fueled his muscles.

A few hours had passed as the two messed around, then they had sparred together for quite a while in which Kaen had activated his chakra stream once again, Kaen then had taken a shower and made dinner, and as night fell his father had slept, and Kaen had stayed awake.

"Rasengan," Kaen muttered to himself as he felt the raw light-blue chakra fueling himself and his every being. It sent shivers down his spine that made him excited to learn this technique. He had his eyes closed the whole time as he fueled chakra from his core, throughout his veins and arteries, and then into the tendrils in his hand. It took a while to get through the flesh, bone, and pores but he had finally started to make a small ball of chakra appear in his hand.

That had taken a whole hour, and Kaen was already exhausted, but alas the boy was determined not to give up as he went downstairs and had a large gulp of soda. Kaen slammed his butt down on his bed as he started to channel more chakra into his hands to make the Rasengan until it had begun to hurt his palms after a current amount of time. That didn't change his stance on learning it though as he held on to the feeling of chakra appearing in his hands.

"After-" Kaen paused as he inhaled the crisp air that surrounded the earth, he hadn't even known he was holding his breath. "After I can successfully make a small ball of chakra for an hour I'll get to the balloon, and then when my chakra can make one-hundred balloons pop in one day I'm ready for the rubber balls."

Kaen growled to himself slightly as he lost control of his chakra flow once again. Kaen instantly started over, and it had taken him a longer time than usual as he was suffering from mild tendencies of chakra deprivation. Finally, he had made a small ball of chakra in his hands and when he had opened his eyes it was already four in the morning!

Kaen's eyes rolled in the back of his head as he lost control of his chakra, the feeling of his body, and fell backward onto his bed snoring loudly as he finally embraced the beautiful bliss of sleep. Kaen instantly dreamt of his chakra, it had turned into a flower, into a person, into a Rasengan, and exploded in a beautiful array of rainbow-colored lights. He'd ride the rainbow as the Rasengan exploded.

When he reached the end of the rainbow, he'd see a blonde haired boy with seafoam blue eyes that would smile at him with a Rasengan floating above his hand. He didn't even look strained and when Kaen activated his chakra sensory, and he had seen how the boy hadn't even needed that much chakra to make the Rasengan. It seemed as if had the reserves of the nine-tailed fox!

"Dattebayo! I'm Naruto Uzumaki," The blonde-haired boy had said with a beaming smile similar to his. Kaen's eyes widened in recognition, how could he forget! Those hallucinations weren't random, they were of the book that his father had read to him. How he knew a lot about Naruto, how he had never given up, and how Kaen had wanted to be just like him as a child.

"Do you want to learn the Rasengan Kaen-Kohai?" Kaen looked up with an eyebrow raised. It seemed as if Naruto was the same age as he was- until he had seen in the short time he had looked down that the blonde-haired Hokage had grown up all of a sudden. Hinata was by his side with their hands held and two kids that looked just like them.

"Yes," Kaen stuttered for a second before he continued,  "Yes, Naruto-sensei," Kaen instantly responded with a slight bow. Naruto was the Hokage, and his story took place in a different village, but he still owed respect to all kages. Deceased, alive, or anything in between.

"Good Kaen-Kohai, remember next time you train to make sure you condense more chakra around in an orb-like figure so that it can keep hold of all the other chakra like one huge globe, Dattebayo!" Naruto said with a huge smile and a thumbs up. Wasn't it weird that Kaen was dreaming about this and not training-

Kaen shot out of his bed; before the boy started to practice he needed to work more on his chakra control. He jumped out of his bed and had noticed the shadows of the night; it seemed as if his sleep schedule had been thrown off. It wouldn't be the first time.

The black-haired boy decided just to wear his stark white t-shirt that he had recently cleaned, and his signature black ANBU styled pants. He jumped out the window and ran out into the cold night.

Kaen looked around as he ran on the dirt road. It seemed as if it was way more peaceful at night, creepy, and calming. It appeared to mix with his emotions a lot; he had the night all to himself. He made it to the training grounds, and he tried not to let the darkness frighten him. 

"Rasengan's form has to be surrounded in a denser chakra than the middle, and then in the complete center a very light chakra that will explode," Kaen said bringing his hand out and forming the chakra. The boy imagined the earth and the many layers of it.

The first tier; which would resemble the crust of the earth. As he imagined it, he started to make a chakra construct in his hands. It was hard at first, but he had begun to get it. There was a difference between the crust and the Rasengan's outer form. It was denser than the crust of the earth which was thin.

He added more chakra to it causing it to glow lighting the dark surrounding him and the rest of the land. It was a faint light blue light that his chakra had, and if the night wasn't worse it had gotten even colder.

"Ah, there we go," Kaen said as the first form disappeared as fast as Kaen had created it. It seemed without any chakra in the base of it; it would just dispose of itself. It couldn't form if there weren't anything of it to form around. It also had to be spherical, as that was the Rasengan.

He made the form again, but this time slowly started to expanding it. His chakra flared as in one hand created the 'crust' and then the other hand he made the deeper layers resembling earth until he had a tiny orb.

Then it exploded.

Kaen flew backward and hit his back against a sturdy tree. He cried out as he hit the bark and flew to the ground holding the back of his head in pain. It seemed as if Kaen didn't have a great enough chakra control to create the sphere. The boy ran over to his gray backpack and pulled out a couple of water balloons. They were red, green, and blue in color but it hadn't mattered.

He ran to a nearby lake and started to fill all three of them before he tied them shut. The first step to creating the Rasengan would be to swirl your chakra. The boy had heard from his father that when the Rasengan is formed it doesn't require a constant stream of chakra so there is no definition of time with how long it can stay active. 

Kaen nodded to no one in particular as he searched his mind for certain information on the powerful technique. A lightbulb appeared above Kaen's head as he remembered that you should know which way your chakra swirls to better concentrate it into your palm.

Gently, Kaen placed the water balloons down before he fell on his butt. He instantly connected the tips of his fingers as he sat criss-cross, and had started to meditate. A huge ocean of chakra could be seen in a dark landscape. His chakra was glowing light-blue illuminating his dark ridden mindscape.

It seemed as if his chakra was swirling clockwise as if it was a huge whirlpool. It basically was a huge whirlpool of chakra in his body. Kaen slowly closed his eyes and opened it to see he was back in the real world. It slightly disappointed Kaen to be away from his meditated world; it was always calming to him.

Kaen grabbed the red balloon first and held it in his hand firmly enough so he wouldn't break. He started to pump his chakra from his body into his hand and started to slowly swirl it. Kaen hadn't wanted to jump at it like he usually did techniques because he wanted to make sure he'd be safe learning this.

It held him in awe to see the balloon slowly increase in size until it-

Water splashed all over him as he had a deadpan look on his face.

(LINE BREAK)

It was in the morning and Kaen was slowly walking home from a tired night. He was soaked through his clothes and to the bone as all the water balloons popped last night. When it finally seemed as if he was getting control of it, 'pop' and then you were soaked.

It was frustrating to fail as he was so close to finishing it. As the boy walked home he allowed chakra to surround his hand as he slowly brought it to the surface. He honestly didn't want to explode again like last night.

Drenched, exploded, and vividly tired. When Kaen had gotten home he instantly went into the closet and got another packet of balloons before he went into the laundry room. Stripping off his clothes, he put them in the dryer and set it.

He walked into the kitchen and saw that his father was currently there reading a book while eating pancakes. Thankfully his father had prepared some for him as well. Kaen all but ran to the table and started to devour the cakes as if there was no tomorrow.

His father spared him a glance with a raised eyebrow before he turned his coal-black pupils back into the words of his book. Kaen noticed the look and then looked down to see that he was only-

Oh right. He was naked.

Kaen blushed all sorts of different colors as he covered his private parts and ran into the laundry room again to pick out some clothes. He instantly clothed himself in a cerulean colored shirt, and black pants.

He came back tot he table with a small blush as he continued to eat his pancakes, albeit slower. Michael looked up at Kaen as he continued to eat before finally deciding to ask him.

"Where were you last night?" His father asked startling Kaen and causing to slightly choke before he swallowed his breakfast. 

"Ah, you startled me. I was working on learning the Rasengan; I feel like it will be great assets to me when I learn my first A-Rank technique," Kaen said as he looked his father in the eye, and his eye shined over with pride at what he was trying to accomplish.

"I'm proud of you son, one day you'll become a great ninja." His father said before he picked up his empty plate and put it in the dishwasher. Kaen did the same with his plate before he went to the bathroom to fill more water balloons.

(LINE BREAK)

Kaen finally had done it. He had gotten it to rotate enough in the balloon that it now took the form of a sphere. It was amazing really; the power felt potent and calming. Kaen instantly stopped spinning his chakra inside the balloon and threw it out the window. He was finally ready for the rubber balls.

The rubber balls had made it harder for him since they had no hollowness. He had to rely on his full power of chakra to pop the rubber ball, and then he could finally get started on the last step which is combining the two techniques to make the Rasengan.

He started to channel his chakra into the rubber ball. It hadn't had any effect; as it was different from the water balloon. Condense the chakra inside the rubber ball? That would work, but he wouldn't know how to start. Flow the chakra throughout the material; that could work. He could also surround the ball in his chakra, and condense it from the outside till it finally closed.

He liked the third option and decided to start practicing it. He surrounded his chakra around the rubber ball in a thin layer and then tried to push inside. The ball tightened a little so Kaen decided to increase the power output of the chakra stream. It started to squeeze until Kaen had strengthened it for the last time.

Then hell broke lose.

The rubber ball had popped, but then the chakra had nothing else to condense on. It condensed on space instead causing a huge explosion that sent Kaen flying through the air like a rag-doll. He hit something hard and started to fall until he was caught in the arms of his father. The only reason he knew that it was his father was because of his scent; that only certain people have certain scents was they key.

Kaen hadn't known how far he flew away, but he knew that he'd be safe in his father's arms so he slowly accepted the creeping darkness consuming his vision. A light chakra stream spread over him as his father had tried to reduce the pain with his minor medical jutsu.

Kaen eventually blacked out.

The sight of the ceiling was normal to him. He had seen it many times as he contemplated things before he went to sleep; the pure white color of it always lulled him to sleep before his troubled thoughts had corrupted his mind. Kaen groaned as he looked down at himself, and it seemed as if nothing was permanently damaged.

His hand hurt like hell, though, and he could tell his chakra would take a while to recover. He tried to flow chakra throughout the hand, and it flared in pain. Kaen ignored that as he performed his basic medical ninjutsu on it and relieved the pain.

It seemed as if his muscles were cramped and his coils were injured. He instantly fixed it all with the medical ninjutsu; it wasn't as bad as it sounded, it was just that his muscles were cramped. When chakra had nothing to form on it suddenly seems as if it was confused at the foreign subject of not being able to do anything but to just exists. It explodes and rushes back to the user.

Sometimes it just tickles, and sometimes it can hurt like a shot, but Kaen had been putting too much chakra in it for his own safety. Kaen got out of bed as he limped to the door. As he reached for the handle it was already turning and opened from the other side. His father walked in with some ramen and looked at Kaen with a raised eyebrow.

"You should be resting," He half-stated and half-asked. Kaen slowly shook his head; he had too many things to do. Like the Rasengan, he was so close and he just needed to finish.

"No, I'm fine. I have to go learn the Rasengan, dad," Kaen said as he tried to slip past him. His father grabbed his shoulder lightly and Kaen looked up to see a face of worry. "I don't know what I'd do without you son; I'd probably go into shock and die myself."

Kaen slightly cringed.

"Let me go help you, and I'll even bring some food for you if you want. We can stay out there for as long as you want, son," His father said causing Kaen to smile. It took a while for the blood to get flowing throughout his legs, but when they did he and his father had a competition to get there first.

When the duo reached the training grounds his father took out a sealing scroll and pulled out a blanket and lots of food varying from ramen, dango, cinnamon buns, katsudon (breaded-pork), and his favorite food rice cakes. Kaen and his father had both shown love for rice cakes so they decided to share half-and-half.

After they consumed the food, Kaen was finally ready to perfect the Rasengan technique. His father first wanted him to prove that he was ready, and so Kaen was going to. Filling water in a balloon, right afterward Kaen exploded it causing his father to smile. 

The rubber ball trick had finally been figured out. He'd condense his chakra around the sphere - like the crust of the earth - and then flow chakra throughout the small openings of the material of rubber. Kaen had to concentrate for this so he sat down and put both of his hands over the ball, and he closed his eyes in meditation.

He was in a black abyss once again, but this time he felt as if he had control. He was going to put the Rasengan together piece-by-piece. First, the layer of denser chakra that will hold the other chakra dormant. All of a sudden a circle of condense chakra was formed in front of him. It already had a sphere shape to it.

Kaen placed his hand on it and thought about the second step. He'd fill the chakra inside the case as if he was filling water inside a balloon. It felt natural to let his chakra inside denser chakra since it felt more stable. It was slowly filling and as it did Kaen put his other hand on it to make it flow faster.

The next step was to start spinning it as if you were churning milk into butter. He started to rotate the ball slowly; almost as slowly as it filled. As it filled more Kaen spun more, and if it started to deplete Kaen slowed it down. It was finally half way full with it spinning at medium speeds, and Kaen was ready for the next step.

Instead of a case holding the chakra, mix it together into one whole spinning/rotating sphere. It needs to be full to do it, though, so Kaen started to push more chakra in it until the whole Rasengan was full. He then started to mix the case in with the Rasengan while spinning it; all like a puzzle piece.

Kaen felt as if the Rasengan was going to explode, and so he grit his teeth as he worked more on controlling the chakra. It was like a raging beast that was trying to break free from it's leash; which to mention was the leash of a small dog like a chihuahua. It had gotten harder as time went on, but Kaen wouldn't allow himself to lose this battle.

It started to glow brighter, spin faster, and condense harder. It was like a mini sun that was about to explode, and Kaen's will wouldn't fail him now. He grits his teeth harder as he started to condense the ball even more into his palm. He needed to be able to form a small sphere of chakra instead of a raging beast.

Letting out a scream Kaen finally had gotten control of the sphere and formed it in between his hands. Kaen smiled as he closed his eyes and opened them again to be greeted by the real world.

To be greeted by the real Rasengan resting in between his palm. Kaen laughed slightly as he focused it into one palm, and just like he had said it didn't vanish. He looked over to his dad who smiled with his thumbs up, and Kaen had just realized it was night time.

"Should I test it out, dad?" Kaen questioned with a smirk. Michael adopted a smirk similar to his. The two went at it attacking each other in all their glory.
