Clumsy Training of a distracted Genin (Open)

Itsumi sat trying to figure out how to pull forth a tiny space of her own. She felt her chakra flow and tried to infuse it into the rock clasped in her hands and will it into the space. She breathed deeply and tried to push the stone through her hands into that space. Her eyes blinked open looking for the rock as she felt in slip from her palms.

Which was great because she got to see it hurl into the space between her eyes. "No! Come back here you!"

She chased it was it tumbled away from her nearly slipping due to her cramping legs. She knelt down trying to find that specific rock, the one that had been bruising her throughout the entire day. Once she got the hang of this jutsu she was going to keep that pebble in storage for an eternity as pay back.

Kenta was enjoying the breeze the dome brought to Suna. He was looking for a decent place to train on the training grounds. Leafing through the Jutsu Encyclopedia he saw some space-time type jutsu listed. “These would be fun for me to learn.” As Kenta walked past a small training area, the sounds of training caught his attention.

“Are you trying to use Mass Shift?” Kenta asked as he looked at a young lady trying to move a rock with no hands. Spatial type jutsu was considered a harder jutsu type to use. For most mass shift was a low ranked jutsu that did not take a lot of skill and practice to learn. Making it a decent starter type jutsu. He was unsure if she noticed him as she shouted and chased after the rock. “I think you are on the right track. The spatial application was great, just not stable. Sorry I do not mean to be nosey. I just noticed. If you like you can consult this book with me for a bit. Training is always more fun and easier with others.”

Kenta made the hand signs with one hand. He wanted to get used to the techniques that he saw some of the more advanced ninja used. They were able to use jutsu after making the seals with one hand. It was an interesting concept but it made a lot of the jutsu harder. Kenta had a train of thought that practicing on the easier jutsu would make for good habits. Later down the line he could focus on only needing one hand for anything. He tried twice with one hand before making the seals with both hands. No sooner than him finishing the Monkey seal did the jutsu work. “See. Easier for the jutsu to work with both hands. You should try putting one hand behind your back as well.”

"Ah! I was trying to earlier it's just I was getting so mad I wanted to strangle that rock. I got a bit carried away..."     She giggled a bit nervously.    "I guess I picked up learning jutsu a bit late so I still forget that I need to slow down and focus on the seals."    She tried to mimic the one-handed signs, puffing out her checks. Then tried with both hands signing the rat and monkey seals, a bit to quickly and nervously at first then signed again.
 
   "Your right it is easier” She beamed up at the ninja nearly a foot taller than her.  "Oh, I'm being rude. I'm Itsumi Abiko, I'd really like to see the book to. I can't say I'm the brightest but I'd love to train with another Spacetime user."   [/color] She went to hold out her hand to him the quickly pulled it back and dusted herself off.   " I'm sorry I'm a bit of a mess but yes mass shift, storage shift, really any Space-time jutsu I get my hands on I want to learn. The idea that one day I could vanish into thin air and pop somewhere else just opens up so many opportunities for food stalls across countries!"  
 
Her eyes fire up for a second, and her hands rifle through a bunch of seals, seemingly doing nothing more than blowing off her excess energy. After a moment she snaps back to the present. "Ah and you said put your hand behind you back...? I'm sorry what was your name?" She turns turn her head back up to the ninja realizing that she had go off on her own tangent.

Arantima Had been Wandering through the Training grounds moving from Main zone to Main zone trying to find somewhere that he felt comfortable training in with his new Weapon. He Had a few tricks that he wished to learn pertaining to Fuinjutsu. Seals seemed to be a very versatile and thoughtful process and that helped keep his mind in check and not running rampant. His mind was already wandering however and that was what brought on the physical wandering of his body through the grounds. He was not moving at his full speed until he heard a frustrated shout, and that Gremlin curiosity rose to the surface as he immediatly bolted out towards the sound of the shout at full speed.

He looked over the wall to the small training area that Itsumi was in and watched her scramble after a small stone before Kenta, someone he actually knew approached the Smaller girl. He Tilted his head as he couldn't hear what was going on, not from This distance which was about 50 meters away. He perched himself up ontop of the Wall he had lept up which was about Twenty meters high off the ground so he had a clear line of sight down to the grounds where the pair were. He watched for a second and his head tilted at the Jutsu they were using but he watched closer and watched Kenta use one hand for a seal and he smirked.. That was a good idea.

Arantima Formed the Ram sign and Used Body flicker to Travel at 120 Speed towards the pair on the ground Traveling diagonally towards the pair but landing 3 meters away from them So as to not get too close and scare them too bad. When he appeared it was with a Gust of Fell wind that made a sharp sound like a blade through air. He landed in a three point "Superhero" landing and stood slowly after his arrival and when he was fully standing he gave them both a warm smile and a wave before looking at each one in turn and that was when his Feral almost violent eyes would make themselves evident, like a predator looking at prey or like someone that was ready to kill at a pin drop.

"Hey there kenta! Who is your new friend? She's cute! He turns to look at her again with an even warmer smile "My name is Arantima.. You can just call me Tima though if you like shorter names like Kenta does.. whats your name?" He runs a hand through his hair and looks at the rocks they had been messing around with curiously but without actually asking what they were doing. He was wearing a Double Bladed Sword/spear on his back that sparkled slightly golden in the sunlight and had a folded up Fuma Shuriken on his hip, obviously a weaponry user.

Kenta was going to respond when a rush of wind got his attention.  He turned to see Tima appearing as if he was putting on a show. Kenta gave the young man a round of applause. “Ten for the appearance, and ten for the landing.” Kenta would whisper underneath his breath as Tima introduced himself to the girl. “I actually have not gotten the chance to introduce myself or get her name. I was going by for my own training when I noticed her practicing spatial jutsu. I thought it was cool and started chatting with her.”

Looking at the only girl amongst the three, Kenta gave her a smile. “As Tima said my name is Kenta. Ken or Kent are the only acceptable variations of my name. Agent K is also pretty cool but you have to reach a certain level of friendship for that. What is your name?”

Kenta would give her enough time to introduce herself without speaking. He did not want to be rude and hog all the speaking air.  After her introduction Kenta would go back to trying to help her out. “I was talking about a thing where ninjas make the hand seals with one hand. It is an interesting skill to have. It was why I put one hand behind my back. I was trying to use the Mass Shift technique without both hands. I thought trying to learn the skill with smaller techniques would be easier first.” Kenta was showing his smart side. It was usually hidden behind the fact that he could be vapid and judged people based on their looks. People had a habit of thinking he was dumb because he was fashion foward.

“You should stay and train with us as well, Tima. Training is usually a lot more fun with more people training. It makes time go faster and we can all compare and exchange notes.”

“I’m Itsumi, so Ken and Tima then. I appreciate your kind words Tima but I know I’m as mess when I train it’s okay.” she said looking a bit frazzled between the two of them. She almost wondered if they had more fancy friends like Kenta or people that just appeared out of nowhere like Arantima.
 
When she heard the word notes her face lit up and she starts unfolding some diagrams from her pocket with different scribblings of ‘space time sphere’, ‘iron maiden’, ‘storage displacement’, and a handful of other jutsu most of the notes are legible albeit a bit crumbled. “I agree, Tima if you’d like to stay, I always love help. I joined the academy and graduated to genin a bit late so I’m still green behind the ears.”
 
“I was trying to learn storage jutsu to, I haven’t been able to buy supplies just yet but if one of you could lend me a kunai or shuriken. I think I can store it and get it back now” she said looking at the weapons Tima didn’t seem to be hiding, a bit embarrassed she didn’t have many of her own yet.
 
After waiting a moment, she grabbed the item nodding her head and smiling in thanks. She signed Rat then Dog seals and it changed to the color of her chakra then it blinked out of existence. “Great give me just a moment I should be able to bring it back.” She focused signing a be quicker and it came back along with a small rock blinking into existence in a similar fashion. “Oh, I guess I dropped it near one of the rocks, I thought I had gotten them all out of there.” She tossed it to the side and handed back the weapon.
 
“I need to learn more offensive jutsu though, this is handy, but I don’t know how much it’ll help me in a fight. I’m not too quick either so I’ll have to work on slowing other people down. Would you both rather focus on mass shift? Or do you have other jutsu in mind?”

"That is sort of why I came over. I saw you guys training and figured I'd come over and join you.. I can offer some help, but not much in the way for Space Time Jutsu. I am a Bukijutsu user so I can offer a Speedy target for anything offensive you might want to learn or defensive as well." He smiles and rubs the back of his head as Itsumi asks for a Kunai or shuriken and he smiles, pulling out a shuriken from his weapon pouch for her "Yeah here, Its no trouble.. Though honestly soon I'm going to have a cheaper option they wont be as strong.. but they will be quite useful as thrown weapons hopefully. Cheap and disposable throwing weapons could be useful for training at least and the ninja shop doesnt really offer something like that."

He looked over to kenta and nodded to him as well "One handed hand seals seems like a very useful skill, especially for someone like me who uses weapons. I wouldn't mind trying to learn to do that with you.  Though.. Actually I did have a thought to learn one you guys might like.. It combines Fuinjutsu and Space time." Arantima pulls out a Kunai and forms the Hand signs Dog > Horse and then touches the Kunai and there is a small sigil placed on it. This Mad lad then proceeds to just YEET this fucking kunai off into the distance at 100 speed and letting it disappear over 50 meters away, this Kunai made a sound like a screaming banshee as it zoomed through the air until it died off around 25 meters away.

He Then Forms The hand signs Dog > Monkey and the Kunai appears somewhere around his waist before clattering to the ground, It isnt the fastest thing ever but it does allow for retrieval of objects from a great distance. He makes a slightly annoyed face as he picks up the kunai "See.. Thats my problem.. I should be able to make it appear anywhere I want, even in my hand.. But it always appears somewhere I don't want it. Thats why I gotta practice it more.. Seem like something either of you might like to learn with me?" He looked between the two present with a hopeful gaze but left the choice up to them, When he saw Itsumi actually pull off her storage jutsu he just blinked a few times and looked at the rock and then her and back to the rock again.  He blink blonked once more before crouching down to the rock and poking it to make sure it was real "Do it again.. That was cool!" he smiled at itsumi and flicked the rock towards her feet staying hunkered down to watch her do the thing again.

He stayed watching her while he absolutely YEETED His kunai once more and this time made attempt after Attempt to use only one hand for form his hand signs.. It was not going so well until he finally managed to pull it off but the kunai appeared sitting ontop of his head like a sharp and pointy hat.

Kenta had a smile on his face as he conversed with the others. “One handed seals are always great to know. It is not one of the hardest skills to know but seeing as how any jounin worth their salt can do it. It would never kill you to learn as well I guess. I am just lucky that my chakra network is big enough to support it. I heard one time a genin was trying and just exploded. Not sure if it was just a myth.”

Kenta tried to peer at the jutsu list Itsumi was trying to learn. “Storage displacement is also one of the easier space-time jutsu to learn. You should be able to learn it just as well, Tima.” Such a low skilled jutsu could be mastered by Kenta in his sleep. He simply used the ring on his finger, storing it and bringing it back out, it took him all of five seconds to use the technique. He referred to his mission buddy before looking back at the notes. “Some of the notes that I can read feel superfluous. Space-Time sphere for example. The library shows new records of two jutsu that may be derivative of that one but works better than them both. It was called white and black hole imitation. Well along those lines. I cannot remember the exact name. Just the formula seals for one of them. I think it was white hole imitation. I never used the jutsu myself but it is a strong offensive jutsu. The only issue is that it does not hit as hard as devouring space-time sphere. The other hand, the imitation hole jutsu is easier to use and master. Making it better for a recently graduated academy student. More people have killed themselves with devouring sphere than I care to admit.” Kenta would only shudder as he recalled the numbers.

It was an odd sensation. Kenta was feeling that with recent events he could have the qualities of a leader, or at least a teacher. He could not describe it but he liked being around people recently and helping Suna grow. A feeling that often filled him with melancholy as he thought about the state the leaf was in. A feeling that he repressed down as he did not want to let it bother him. He would have already been considered a traitor to the people he left behind.

Banishing the thoughts from his hand Kenta went back to training the one handed sealing method. He would not quit until he was able to get it down. Kenta considered it a mark of honor being able to use the skill with a high level of proficiency. It was the reason why his fingers were practically flying as he tried to control his chakra as he made various seals. It was a grinding process that made his fingers almost look blurry as he moved them as fast as he could.

“I think I almost got it. The issue at the moment is regulating my chakra properly while trying to focus on both hands at once. It is a bit like trying to draw a square with my right hand, and a circle with my left hand. A quirk I have to overcome. Besides practicing some of the space time techniques you should learn this as well Itsumi.” Kenta was trying to keep the conversation flowing. If they would work together Kenta would feel his own understanding of the skill and space-time jutsu increasing. It was a great benefit that made a cycle of positive effects.
