Transformation and Clones

It was an early morning, but Shinryuu was used to early starts. The early ninja catches the worm or something along those lines. Today the plan was to perfect his mastery over the basic ninjutsu Henge and Clone, which he had been practising diligently, and it was time to make them his own. It's all about chakra control, this was his forte, and they're only one handseal.
Shinryuu made his way to the training facility.

"Let's start with Clones", Shin said to himself, relaxing his body and shaking his limbs to loosen up the muscles a bit. He then brought his hands together to form the Ram sign, channeled his chakra and manifested a perfect clone of himself next to him. On further inspection though, it was clear it was not in fact a perfect clone. "The eyes are different colors", Shin mumbled as he slowly walked around the clone, "and my butt doesnt look that big, does it?". He tried to twist his hips and look down at his own butt, but couldnt get a good enough view to compare. "Making the butt smaller regardless", he said decisively. The colorscheme of the clone was also slightly off compared to his own clothes, the white coat on the clone being more of an off-white than his own was. "Right, again", he stated, not dismissing the first clone so he could compare clones and rate his own work. It took a good while, but eventually after dismissing and retrying multiple times Shin was finally pleased with the endresult.

The sun was by now already at it's peak position in the sky, and Shinryuu had taken a small rest to fill his stomache and replenish his chakra for round 2 of the day, the Transformation technique. This one was more complex than just copying yourself. It took more creativity and a flexible mindset to imagine all sorts of details depending on what kind of transformation you were doing. Shin was reasonably good at it already, having trained many times before, but he always made mistakes that made the transformations look too fake. Sometimes he would forget to transform with a tail if he turned into a dog or cat. Or he would forget that as a tree he should look like he is stuck in the ground. But today was going to be different, today the goal was to only have small and minor mistakes. He made the Dog handseal and ironically transformed himself into a red and white cat. He strutted over to a puddle of water and inspected himself. Tail check, two ears check, fur pattern very wonky, that would need some more work for sure. For the rest it looked pretty believble in his eyes. He undid the jutsu and instantly made the Dog seal again. This time turning into a scarecrow wearing his own white coat. He let out a small snicker, while looking in the waterpuddle. Hay sticking out of the sleeves of his coat, the eyes two big round buttons stitched into the head of jute, with a big damaged straw hat sitting atop it. Once more he undid his jutsu, instantly transforming again, this time into a 3meter tall exact copy of the terrifying statue of the fist kage Xyxer, whom Shin admired greatly.

Training went on for a while till nearing dinnertime, and Shin was satisfied with the results of the day, as he decided to head back home. Tomorrow was a new day and you should rest up enough in between training aswell, or so he had read somewhere. He wasn't sure where the exact balance was, but he could figure that out eventually. Shinryuu did a quick cooling down stretching session, to make sure his muscles wouldnt be too sore in the morning. He took a deep breath, packed up his belongings and started walking down the path towards his home.
