Day One: Last Day at Yogan Monastery (Solo)

Deep in the mountains a young man lay sleeping in the shrouded monastery, this man was known as Hiten the youngest of the Yogan Monks. As the sun rose that day Hiten followed, raising from his bed and walking to the shrine room. Here he knelt giving prayer for another day in the beautiful world around him, this of course did not last long and his day continued dragging him to the courtyard. A large area flat and covered in lush grass, neatly cut by the monks who lived there. Hiten approached a wood pile where the monks kept fire wood, lifting a piece he guessed weighed nearly as much as his self. After examining it thoroughly he tossed it into the middle of the courtyard, then returned standing approximately 4 meters away. Standing firm he lifted his hands slapping them together quickly to form the first seal, with the Tiger seal now showing he began focusing on the object thinking of its size, shape, durability, and every aspect possible that could help him define this object. Next his hands quickly release then slammed together again this time fingers forming the new seal, The Boar seal present he prepared character surging through his body from head to toe allowing him to now understand his every inch. The chakra prepared and the items understood he further advanced with his next seal, Ox now transferring chakra through an undisclosed network to the log he selected. This log now being invisibly coated in Hiten's chakra, it was preparing to move and change visual shape. His focus has increased ten fold as he continued the jutsu to the next seal, The Dog seal now confirming his link chakra to chakra, body to log he was now in unison as he pushed more chakra out from with in allowing him to hopefully perform the Substitution Jutsu. The others began to gather around the courtyard as he grew closer and closer to his attempt, but it was going to be a challenge as Hiten was just newly beginning to gain a concept of jutsu and how to perform them successfully. The chakra now ready he pushed his attention to the log and began trying to single its location, this lead to the final seal known as Snake which was the last step before a user of a jutsu forces a reaction to happen and the jutsu to be completed.It was during the last seal that Hiten surged his chakra out in a wave allowing it to tap the log, with the two objects being able to touch via the chakra bridge created the Hiten was gone in an instant unobserved by the spectators as the log seemed to vanish to leaving what appeared as Hiten standing in the center of the courtyard. Unsure if he completed the jutsu a fellow monk through lifted his chopsticks from his meal and flung them with great accuracy at the Hiten before them, remaining still it appeared as though the chopstick penetrated into his neck allowing blood to trickle down dripping on the ground. The monks jumped to their feet as it appeared Hiten would need medical attention, but in a flash the illusion vanished leaving the log pierced by the eating utensil. The monks began looking around trying to find Hiten, to their surprise he was sitting at the table beneath a gazebo with a smile plastered on his face. Having successfully learned the Substitution Jutsu he figured he would begin training the next in line of the basic jutsu. Standing from the table he returned to the courtyard, the others watched him with anticipation as he prepared for the next jutsu he wanted to learn. Rolling his head on his shoulders and rotating his his shoulders he began to loosen his body, the preparation of his body over he began to summon chakra with his first seal. Chakra grew from with in his body starting with his core and swelling like a pot over boiling on a stove, his chakra now reaching a top point he held the Ram seal steady. The others watching as he readied the clone jutsu, his chakra swirled like a current sweeping every drop into the hurricane he had brewing with in his self. The next seal clear as day as he closed his eyes and began visualizing his self in front of his body, the slender physique, the long blue-black hair, the straw hat holding a diamond symbol, his black robes and how they draped over him, covered in a olive kesa and white scarf. This image became clearer and clearer as he pulled more and more from the silhouette he had created of his self in his own mind, the details becoming more and more apparent like his violet eyes and pointed nose. His now with the vision in his head and the Snake seal formed with his hands, the image began trying to become a mirror of his self. The images legs standing straight like Hiten's, his hands mirroring as well holding the Snake seal about four inches from his sternum. Eyes now closed on both the image in his head and his own, the chakra now swirling faster with in condensing further down becoming thinner and more potent as it carried on making its shape into a tornado stretching throughout his body as he prepared to create a mirror of his self. The chakra seemed to jump from his body arching and clashing to the ground in front of his self, in an instant it was over with a silence momentarily cascading over the monastery. The other monks sighed as the pale and lifeless looking thing layed on the ground before him, a sign of failing to create a clone this time. Determined not to fail Hiten slapped his hands together again from the beginning, holding the seal of the Ram approximately 4 inches from his chest. Standing with good posture he began letting the chakra gather in his core, slowly as more chakra began arriving inside him it began boiling inside with a fire of determination for this jutsu's success. He signed again for the Snake seal letting the image grow in his mind again refilling him with all his details, his posture and physical forms completely understood as he compacted the chakra molding it into his image. The chakra swirled collecting his very image understanding him as he understood his self, then with the chakra now having a new feel Hiten proceeded to the next and final seal. His hands together and the Tiger seal formed he let the chakra create and image which slid from his body, this created and identical twin of Hiten who mimicked his every move. The monks clapped as they witnessed Hiten's successful presentation of the Clone Jutsu.
