Mind, Body and Failure [Training][Solo]

Fri May 13, 2022 10:17 am

Ostriches are diurnal and lay the largest eggs of any living land animal. Equipped with this knowledge, a young man ventured into the mountains in search of large eggs late in the day. He needed to find a suitable target to practice he new technique. The target had to be fairly large in order for his mental projectile to not miss too easily, and for this particular technique, it had to be alive. The projectile would be fired in a straight line. Thus the shinobi had to stun the target or otherwise get close enough to make sure that he does not misfire. The ninja's name was Saturn, and unbeknownst to himself, the technique that he was training was the Yamanaka clan's hiden technique called the Mind Body Switch technique.

Saturn clutched his backpack as he hiked on the mountain path by himself, taking step after heavy step with his mountain boots. The terrain was basked in a warm orange light, uncharacteristic to the typical stormy weather observed in and around the country. The man diverged from the path into the woods, where before long, he would stumble upon three large holes in the ground with three large spotted eggs in them. "Bingo. I don't need that pig." He smirked and dissed Dione, his horse and his absent familiar. "I wonder where she is..." He looked up towards the view of peak of the ascending mountain, before kneeling down to palm and pick up a large egg, knocking on it. He looked around for any signs of the parents, and then at the sky. "The sun is setting, she must be coming back soon.." He reached into one of the holes and abducted an egg, and placed it carefully on the grass a few meters away from the holes she had burrowed, before taking out a bunch of large black feathers from his backpack. They were already soaked in glue, and he stuck them on his back over his white hoodie. Dipping two fingers in dark green paint, he drew lines on his brow and cheek. In the distance, he heard a booming hiss, the call of an ostrich. It was time.

Hiding in the bushes, Saturn watched the adult hen emerge from the woods, and head towards her nest. She noticed the missing egg, and looked around, scouting her environment. Upon seeing the egg, she carefully walked towards it, trotting on her strong, girthy legs. It was all going according to his plan. Holding out both his hands, parting the leaves in the bush he was in, he formed the necessary handseals. Fingers interlocked in his fist with his index fingers touching and straightened, he formed the Tiger Seal. Now folding his index fingers, all his fingers interlocked, Snake. Now flaring his hands and his index fingers back together, Horse. Now for the last one, he was shaking with anticipating. No, she's too far.. He paused. Taking a long deep breath, and exhaling hard. He prepared himself for what's next.

"Oqqrrrrrr! Qqqqrrrr..! Qqqqrr!!"

He chirped loudly, startling the hen. She stuck her neck up and turned towards the rustling bush, and Saturn rustled his artificial feather, spinning around, enticing the bird to come over. This was the moment of truth, the decisive point of what's to come. Concentrating with all his capacity, Saturn began making the handseals from the beginning watching the large bird of prey approach his trap. Placing its claws at the crevice of the bush, she parted its leaves, exposing Saturn, making him freeze up upon seeing the sheer mass of her muscular thighs. She tilted her head, he was still in the green while she made her guesses about his character. He started making the handseals again, Tiger, no. She placed her claw on Saturn's shoulder, forcing him to act. Deviating from his original plan in his panic, he grabbed the slender throat of the predator with his left hand and punched its beak with all his might with his right, stunning the bird for a brief moment. He looked on suspiciously, knowing fully well after the fact that he could not hurt an ostrich with the strength that he possessed. He cringed as the hen turned its head back at him, not even the slightest scratch on her. She ripped Saturn's hoodie at the sleeve and brought her beak down forcefully at his neck, pecking at him. He barely got out of the way in time, leading her sharp piercing beak to his forearm instead.

Fruitlessly, the man attempted to tackle the bird down to the floor, but her thick strong trunk like legs would not budge while Saturn flailed and fought to stay alive. One hard kick from the beast could kill him, he realized. Staying close to the bird to avoid its kicks to the best of his ability, he held on to her feathers and neck while she pecked and clawed at him. Instinctively, Saturn held onto the bird's neck with both hands and threw his legs up, squeezing them together around the bird's large frame, hanging on to her while she ferociously hissed and boomed. Soon enough, she slammed Saturn down into the grass and pinned his left arm, limiting his capacity to form handseals while she pecked at him. He shielded his face with his free arm and struggled to free the other. As he strained, he took his opportunity when the predator's claw pierced the sleeve of his hoodie. Gritting his teeth, he pulled his arm in towards the neck of the hoodie, letting the bird's claws scratch his arm and tear his sleeve until he could slip his arm up through the neck of the hoodie. "Come at me!" He mocked the bird, furious and frustrated. He dodged to the left and then to the right as the bird slammed her beak down on the terrain, knocking the bird on the side of its beak with his elbow in his struggle. He made his timed attempt as the bird slammed down another barrage of pecks, dodging left and right making her miss, and forming a handseal with each dodge. Tiger. Snake. Horse. For the last one, he needed a straight line to the bird's head, and thus he waited still, baiting the bird to slam its beak straight down. Forming a unique handseal in the shape of a heart, he placed her beak in his line of fire and took his leap of faith. "Mind Body Switch Technique!"
