Ninpocho Chronicles

Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.

Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.

Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.

The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.

This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

[spoilername="Opportunist"]
Sneak Attack - Passive (3 points)
  • Restriction- C Rank and up
    • Many honor-bound fighters will make sure that their opponent is ready and aware before beginning a fight. Not so with the Opportunist. A turned back is an open target for them, a chance they don’t dare pass up.
      Effect: All the user's attacks have a 10% chance of being a Sneak Attack. All Sneak attacks gain +1 Critical and deal x2.5 damage upon a Critical hit; this does not stack with other critical damage modifiers.

Shadow Step - Passive (2 points)
  • Embracing the shadows, opportunists are adept in the art of covert fighting. They remain hidden from their victims until the moment they strike and even then leave their victims wondering where the attacker came from...and where they went.
    Effect: The user has a 30% chance at remaining in Stealth after performing a Sneak Attack. Once per round, the user may make a Sneak Attack without being dropped out of Stealth; this may only be done three times per battle.

Quick Step III - Boost (1 point x3)
  • Restriction- Can be purchased up to three times
    • Opportunists have mastered the art of precision attacking, knowing just when and how to catch the opponent off-guard with their attacks. It is very difficult into tricking one with your movements, masters as they are in the art of it already.
      Effect: +1 accuracy (Ability taken three times)

Flash Counter II - Jutsu (1 point, 1 to rank up)
  • Restriction- A-Rank and Up
    This jutsu is the ultimate counterattack; defensive and offensive at the same time, leaving no openings and at the same time exploiting all of the enemy’s openings. In the blink of an eye, the user can evade any attack and appear behind the enemy, attacking immediately with utter impunity.
    • Rank 1: The user automatically dodges the next attack directed at them and appears behind the attacker. The user may then strike with 4 Basic Strikes or attack with any E-D Taijutsu for .5 AP less. These attacks count as sneak attacks, and cannot be countered, detected, or auto-dodged.
      Rank 2: The user automatically dodges the next attack directed at them and appears behind the attacker. The user may then strike with 6 Basic Strikes or attack with any E-C Taijutsu for 1 AP less. These attacks count as sneak attacks, and cannot be countered, detected, or auto-dodged.

(OoC: Don't think you automatically get Major Affinity if you master all the jutsu so I'm applying for that on a few)

Earth Major Affinity Mastery (Jutsu 100% Mastered)
Earthen Style Ability App
Kamaru looked through the papers, requesting what the former Leaf scientists and researchers had on the understanding of the principles and science behind Earth Style Chakra might be considered an abuse of power. He had gotten them out of the city and into another one, they weren’t in as good as a position as before but Kamaru was constantly seeing to and asking about what they really needed, they would have preferred a few of their wants but Kamaru seemed pretty focused on multiple people currently. On the other hand it was something within his boundaries to request he did kind of imply they owed him. He personally had to evaluate the general perception of such things from his point of view as well mostly for his own benefit really though. The fact he had a personal curiosity in the matter simply fell into line with it. Who wouldn’t want a knowledgeable shinobi out in the field that fully understood any of the elements. In truth it did save him quite a bit of time. Some within the religious community might think thoughts of scientific principles and theory had no right to be used to explain the blessing of being able to manipulate Earth Style Chakra since it was part of nature. Kamaru reviewed the report and the citations. He didn’t understand the religious side of things that much and in that didn’t think it would help him improve or understand things more clearly. He was pretty sure if he had done the research himself he wouldn’t have made graphics to explain things as well. For people who were busy and didn’t want to help him out he was moderately impressed at the detail into the work he was given.

Kamaru always hypothesized Earth Style Chakra worked much like frequencies did in the air since considering the different densities of dirt, mud, and stone they all performed the same under the main branch of earth style chakra. Although most of the techniques he knew were based on manipulating the environment or defensive the offensive techniques was nothing to belittle. It seemed to be a supportive and straight forward chakra to use from Kamaru’s perspective and easy to put into one’s repertoire of tactics. It was literally stuck in his head that it was practical and a good foundation to work off of.

Fire Major Affinity Mastery (Jutsu 100% Mastered)
Fire Style Ability App
Kamaru reviewed the report, they had jokingly asked if he wanted a report for each of the basic elements since this was the second time in only a few days he had asked for another report or any findings on fire style chakra but they were surprised when he accepted the offer if there was time for it and thanked them in advance. He wouldn’t be getting around to reading all of them as once though. If the earth style was solid and patient Kamaru would consider fire to be unpredictable and brash. A constant destructive force that consumed anything around it would be a description of fire that had gone wild. Not really wild as much as in a natural state or not controlled or mitigated against.

Control seemed to be the only thing that Kamaru worried about when it came to the style, the thought of switching off one’s brain and not thinking and simply attack would be a frightening tactic to defend against when it came to predicting your enemy’s next move when it was unclear if they themselves knew what they were doing or what they would do. It would definitely be a style to use when alone and attacking multiple foes but when in a team or protecting someone Kamaru wondered if they would just be more targets to get burned through friendly fire.

Water Major Affinity Mastery (100% Mastered)
Water Style Ability App
Kamaru finally had some downtime and poured a glass of wine, he wasn’t much of a drinking man but he had found in the slightly tipsy state scientific theorems and postulates were much more believable and easier to accept. Water Chakra he found was very much so like water, a fluid matter in a combat style. Being close to an area effected would bring the possibility to overstretch and attack multiple targets. While being attacked or moved even had the benefits of going with the flow of force and movement making the style that much more deadly. Usage of water based attacks made one more efficient in casting them in combat. Slight healing was possible through maintaining water jutsu or taking the brunt of a water based attack. Although not much overall in a prolonged battle the style seemed to have a sustaining dynamic set of powers and skills to its arsenal.

Wind Major Affinity Mastery (100% Mastered)
Wind Style Ability App
After looking through several research papers Kamaru sat back and closed the book he had just finished reading. Wind Style Chakra seemed fickle. Or rather the most easily to deceive with in battle. Hitting more critical areas with an attack or additional opponents taking them off guard offensively seemed like a hyper intuitive way to exploit combat. Defensively being slightly blanketed in wind making it easier to evade attacks sounded beneficial as well, causing one’s opponent to take damage from their own attacks if missing their target due to over extended sounded okay as well. Kamaru didn’t like getting hit or bludgeoned that much.


Lightening Major Affinity Mastery (100% Mastered)
Lightening Style Ability App
Impulses through the synopsis in the human body and it’s natural current of electricity. In the Earth Style Kamaru saw patience, Fire destruction, Water efficiency, and Wind deception, with lightening he saw something mostly based off of theoretical science, faster than human speed or the breakdown of an opponent’s due to electrical pulses. The overuse of lightening chakra speeding up one’s body and action due to the limps snapping through responses from one’s brain that much quicker seemed a dangerous yet beneficial boon; saturating the air with the excess electrons causing previous lightening jutsu to suddenly go off again on a lower scale was something to keep in mind during a fight with multiple opponents. Defensively interrupting the electric impulses of an opponents body on contact slowly them down seemed useful and phycologically damaging. Few in combat want to be thinking faster than their body could move. The mental strain would be an attack in and of itself. Granted having your own body automatically start moving where it needed to be before you could fully think about it didn’t sound as bad.

Kinesis Advance Element App (1 of 5)
In nature it wasn’t a force that moved objects. At least not directly. It simply fluctuated the frequency at which things moved, like how one instinctively shy away from fire or heat when it’s too close due to the feeling or sensation of heat or how animals slowdown in the winter time due to the cold going into hibernation. The speeding up or slowing down of energy through reactions or kinetic to Kamaru seemed complex yet beneficial to him. The elemental Kinesis had a few interesting characteristics and techniques based off of it’s primary principles from what he could tell from the documentation he had read researching it. Being based off primarily of Fire and Wind it worked off of movement and the transference of energy or the displacement of it. Being in the form of energy which was moving on a smaller scale than the normal human eye could see got Kamaru’s initial interest. Who didn’t like an invisible trick up their sleeve when things got dicey no and again.

Kamaru leaned back in his chair closing his eyes mentally visualizing combat scenarios where using such techniques. In most situation just using such a technique would be seen through by your opponent especially something blatant. Kamaru slowly closed his eyes inserting areas where a good set up would lead up to a nice spot to add in unseen actions or delayed responses to what he could do in combat. But like any good con or trick of deception if it was slide between techniques and skillfully slide in unnoticed it would be as if it was an entirely different nature to gauge. Seeing through tricks and realization of techniques was something everyone had to face in combat. The complexity of the attack or defense made things easier or harder to see through. It seemed to be a very tactical element to use in combat but at the right time and place exceptional deadly and for the most part unseen.

From the last readthru of announcements I'll need a writeup for Shinobi 101: Ninjutsu (Sound Advanced Element) I guess so:

Sound Advance Element App (Mastery Wind Major Completed; Mastery Non Element Minor Completed) for Shinobi 101
Sound a solicitation of wind and through it vibrations. From his reading and studies it was an amplification of sorts when combining Wind Style chakra with Non-Elemental Style producing a more refined form of wind chakra affecting the target through vibrations, an unseen method of attack. Another invisible but deadly force it seemed to Kamaru to which he wanted to readily learn more about and put into practice. Mostly for the personal reasons he studied it for the exploits it could give him in combat.

Having the options available to impair opponents seemed like a good exploit to have at one’s disposal. High damaging attacks were great if you were just attempting to beat an opponent into submission. If that wasn’t an option how could you affect someone in public or unseen? The option of covertly attacking someone in public seemed like something not in Kamaru’s regular list of things to do but he never knew when any trick or scam would be beneficial. The amount of options available depended on the situations as Kamaru went over the basics of what he had found out of how the Sound Style techniques worked.

Although some might think of it as a support style Kamaru could see the point of view from the options readily available to a user of this style. But due to the impairing nature it also lent itself to assisting in combinations with other wind jutsu techniques he proposed to himself as he pushed the books away. Would he limit it to just when he used Wind style jutsu or incorporate it in with various styles of Chakra style stances? Kamaru mentally went over scenarios where being reckless when you purposely impaired the opponent would seem always beneficial. He was hesistant at one of the major flaws in his battle plans. Usage of some techniques affected all but the user making ally and enemy suffer the same effects seemed dangerous as well in the terms of friendly attacks and injuries

Shadow Advance Element App (Mastery Fire Major Completed; Mastery Water Minor Completed)
Kamaru rubbed his eyes as he pushed the book away, for now he had had enough and needed a break. Shadow based Ninjutsu seemed odd to say the least. Logically it didn’t make sense it just was. Going off of just a feeling though didn’t help him understand the affinity at all either. It seemed in a way more organic for a nature and partially a blend of superstition when looking at its base elements. Interlacing his fingers his forehead rested on his index fingers while his thumbs massaged his temples. It really didn’t make sense.

Kamaru had put it into his schedule to study the advance element affinity for Shadow since it would probably help him in doing field work. Lately he let his training program slide a bit it seemed. Now with the primary concern of getting students trained it was just another option to view them without being noticed. Regardless it would be a valued ace up his sleeve when doing surveillance he thought or if he needs to move out of someone’s awareness. Have more options to not be seen or attack while being unseen never hurt one to have a lot of.

Going over standard scenarios and practical applications he sighed heavily dragging the book back over to him while opening up another one. There was enough benefits and flexibility to make it worth his time he thought as he went back to pouring over the book. If the nature of this element wasn’t so fickle Kamaru thought more people would learn about it. That is probably part of the reason it was so dangerous, it was not easily understood or mastered. Kamaru spent several more hours doing research into trying to understand the principles behind the element and eventually just found himself staring at his shadow as if it would pop up.

From what he had read unlike other elements based on a base element nature Shadow Advanced Element release were more akin to Yin and Yang Release such as other non-elemental techniques such as medical jutsu or even Genjutsu in some ways. A concentration of Fire and water constantly moving around together but separate was probably why it was so confusing a mixture of the imaginary and spiritual energies plus the vitality and physical energies made sense. With a general basic understanding he made a not to find a shop where he could purchase scrolls to test our his aptitude with Shadow based techniques.

Vapor Advanced Element App (Mastery Water Major Completed; Mastery Fire Minor Completed)
If Kinesis was an unseen force that hindered Vapor Style Chakra seemed like a seen force that did something similar. A restraint of another kind but definitely something Kamaru felt was riff with possibilities. Granted the obvious thought of a smoke screen of sorts and the opponent waiting for an attack to come next seemed cowardly when used as a means to escape. But the dead have no glory in Kamaru’s though process so he thought of it as a viable option. Using it to mask a wall or use of poisons in the air seemed like another dirty trick but to Kamaru it was just another tactic to slow down the opposition and break them down slowly.

From his reading it was another tactical style to learn it seemed, it lent itself to being used from a hidden position especially if impairing Genjutsu were in place. But to some the set up probably seemed slow. Granted if you wanted to just bludgeon someone to death there were other options. This was a multi-layer approach in complexity and options though which was one of the things that had originally gotten Kamaru curious from when he first gotten a job in Leaf City. He was older and wiser now and with it experienced on the job skill set and in his own use of the elements.

Although it seemed the opposite of Shadow type techniques when molding techniques he didn’t really see it as the opposite side of the coin so to speak. Thru the rapid cooling and heating of water the style moved through several options of offense and defense making it flexible. The part that seemed the most beneficial was it would reveal how an opponent worked things out and provide valuable data on what to exploit during a battle.

Precipitation in happens in nature as a natural phenomenon, liquids forming on cool surfaces, gases turning to liquid or liquids forming into solids. Chemically Kamaru wasn’t all that up to speed though even from someone in Leaf City. Being in an industrial city didn’t necessarily make him an expert in such things but from what he did read about he understood some solids where man made using solutions to extract a solid. Forming of a solid crystal from a liquid was possible and was based on the pattern trying to be built on a molecular level. In Crystal Style Chakra needed to be molded in a similar fashion.

The pattern used in the process for molding chakra when changed affected the technique’s principle crystal being formed and with it the type of crystal’s properties. These were the basics from what Kamaru got out of his research, a different crystal for various desired outcomes. Although the crystal jutsu techniques seemed based on precious stones Kamaru doubted they were actually strong enough to withhold the test of time such as naturally occurring gemstones. Although from what he had learned of the area in Iwa village there were areas where gemstones were as common as fallen seeds. Although there was a modest lifestyle for most it seemed there weren’t many he’d consider poor such as when he lived in Leaf City.

The techniques under the style seemed to add to multiple areas the jutsu adding to a weapon augmenting it further interested him the most out of what the style had to offer. Granted having a weapon temporarily covered in precious stones might look showy but in the shadows he didn’t know if it was partially a hindrance. Looking at the broken crystal shards from what Kazuki had given him Kamaru also knew it could be used to preserve something important.
 
Sorry but you've exceeded the amount of advanced elements you may own (max is 4), you already have Sound and Kinesis, if you wish to get the 5th advanced element, you may purchase an advanced element slot in the advanced shop for 100 points.
 
I thought getting an Advanced Element through Shinobi 101 - Ninjutsu does not apply to your cap (of 4)? Also did the write up since it sounded like I needed (No pun intended). Let me know what I need to do, I'll save the last one if it's voided till I purchase a card if need be then (Crystal App).

From the last readthru of announcements I'll need a writeup for Shinobi 101: Ninjutsu (Sound Advanced Element) I guess so:

Sound Advance Element App (Mastery Wind Major Completed; Mastery Non Element Minor Completed) for Shinobi 101
Sound a solicitation of wind and through it vibrations. From his reading and studies it was an amplification of sorts when combining Wind Style chakra with Non-Elemental Style producing a more refined form of wind chakra affecting the target through vibrations, an unseen method of attack. Another invisible but deadly force it seemed to Kamaru to which he wanted to readily learn more about and put into practice. Mostly for the personal reasons he studied it for the exploits it could give him in combat.

Having the options available to impair opponents seemed like a good exploit to have at one’s disposal. High damaging attacks were great if you were just attempting to beat an opponent into submission. If that wasn’t an option how could you affect someone in public or unseen? The option of covertly attacking someone in public seemed like something not in Kamaru’s regular list of things to do but he never knew when any trick or scam would be beneficial. The amount of options available depended on the situations as Kamaru went over the basics of what he had found out of how the Sound Style techniques worked.

Well, apparently I was wrong - approved in its entirety.
 
I will get a Shop Card prior to applying for more Advance Elements (each) and link to purchase approval in future applications though ~*
 
Training: Martial Artist
Kamaru felt the sensation of the back of his head hitting the soft sand, the sound of the soft ‘squeesh’ as his breathing slowed and normalized. The nice thing about the small house he had bought was this training area, underground away from prying eyes he could practice when he needed to and had time regardless of the time of day. With one hand fumbling around he eventually found the jug of water and sat up drinking slowly. It slowly turned into chugging down the contents. Putting it down he slowly got up and reentered the area he had been performing martial kata in from various forms incorporating chakra styles. Mentally he trained in scenarios fighting opponents attempting to exploit whatever weakness his current kata and chakra style had.

While he wasn’t worried about the application of styles and being able to change styles what he needed to work on was the transition. A quicker and smoother transition enabled him and the style he was in to become more organic and living. While some moves were rigid others were loose, with a constant evolving pattern and strategies opening up through his actions as he attempted to adapt more fluidly to the fight scenarios. Time blurred as he continued to train trying to lock down the transition time between styles. As the alarm chimed off Kamaru slowed and got his things to head upstairs for a shower. He had to get to work.

Plasma Advanced Element App (Mastery Fire Major Completed; Mastery Lightning Minor Completed)
Kamaru studied the papers in front of him, self-discovery of advance elemental affinities was slow to say the least. An affinity over Fire, Kinesis, and Shadow chakra realms helped wrap his brain around the matter though. He slowed his breath as a small fire ball bubbled up and manifested as Kamaru channeled chakra into it over the stone slab. Heating this slowly he left it suspended as he set a globe of chakra with an affinity to Kinesis slowly over the fire ball. Using glass had proved to dangerous since previous attempts had just shot a super-heated ball of plasma into the air. This was why Kamaru was outside now instead of inside his house. He’d have to remember to find cleaners to scrub the scorch marks and repaint the burnt area around the incident. Pulling a bubbled of Shadow around his experiment he inspected his work. The suspended ball of fire would only last a few more seconds but controlling the air flow inside the globe for air intake was important as Kamaru started to manipulate Lightening chakra again. Originally he thought the idea and principles were easy and in truth they were, controlling them and not burning holes in things though was a different matter altogether. As the chakra fluctuated the air seemed to alter a bit inside the globe as the lightening chakra was turned in slowly. He didn’t want to have an explosion in his face like on a previous attempt and Plasma was hard enough to handle let alone control.

The sound was telltale even with the variations he had added in for safety as the charge in the air audibly changed he finally heard the pop of the flame as it converted over, the orange and yellow dancing flame floating slowly in the form of a small plasma ball. Kamaru mentally talked to it like it was could comprehend him as it started to float to the top of the globe of chakra made through Kinesis. Creating the ball again was easy the hard part was trying to control it, it was a new state of matter Kamaru couldn’t figure out how to control fully as he reached out with tendrils of Shadow Chakra not wanting to agitate the ball of plasma considering the destructive force it had. Kamaru in truth had been going through all this trouble for moments like this the time where he could try and reach out and fabricate control over the new form of his chakra. Wiping his brow he continued to try and control plasma.

Lava Advanced Element App (Mastery Earth Major Completed; Mastery Fire Minor Completed)
Kamaru shifted the ball of rock in front of him slowly heating it with Fire Chakra as it spun in midair in front of him. Flames lapped at the earth from various angles arcing out to heat the ball spurring the temperature to a higher level again. Gusts of wind swirled around the stone as hot air washed over his face as they kept the ball in place. Watching the orb of stone until it glowed from the heat it absorbed Kamaru continued slowly letting his chakra permeate the stone. The fire hot orb spun slowly coming to a stop as Kamaru focused slowly, it wasn’t hot enough yet. Kamaru seeded the solid ball of rock with a small bit of matter in the fourth state; a small ball of plasma was forcefully pushed into the rock. The stone easily gave way due to being heated and the abrasive power of the liquid form of energy as it bored into the stone. The color brightened from a deep red to orange, yellow, and white as cracks seemed to form. Kamaru summoned other ball of stone to meld with the ‘melting’ rock as it swirled. Inspecting it from various angles some of the rock would leak out from the experimentation as it hung in the air at mid chest level suspended by Kinesis chakra threads and wind cooling the area around the danger zone. As it hit the cooler ground it would sizzle melting into the rock below and rapidly cool off.

Kamaru had learned the hard way for training purposes which rocks were probably not the best type to use for this process. By that he had found out which ones would explode from being rapidly heated. But like most of his self-study and discoveries it was a learning process to make breakthroughs in things he only understood marginally. Sweat coated his body from the exercise of chakra control and sheer temperature from the material he practiced with. He breath was slightly labored as he stared at the orange ball of liquid stone with black and red areas of cooling as he moved it around .

”That’s two down…” he muttered to himself hardening the stone again a ball of obsidian hitting the ground and shattering.

Sand Advanced Element App (Mastery Earth Major Completed; Mastery Wind Minor Completed)
Unlike Crystal Chakra this was a different mindset to look into Crystal based chakra was a permeating attempt to force crystallization of impurities in liquids and moving them together with an Earth Chakra Affinity to form patterns. A Sand Affinity seemed like the opposite since it was the dispersion of one mass piece of stone being moved and/or formed through the use of Wind Style Chakra to break down the rock. It was the opposite of principles at least to Kamaru of Crystal Chakra manifestation. Kamaru focused again trying to disassemble the block of stone in front of him while having it keep shape. It was complicated. Controlling one mass bulk was simple. Controlling multiple smaller entities to stay in a uniformed pattern as if the rock was still a whole as it was broken apart taxed him when they wanted to move more freely by nature.

Kamaru slowly realized he didn’t need each grain of sand to have its own set of instructions a general set of orders for ‘areas’ was easier and much faster. Allowing his chakra to move through the substance as it broke down into smaller parts and mentally forming his chakra seemed simpler to imagine and apply. Like clay he molded the shape as he forced the smaller particles to grind into the stone working still at a labored steady pace but Kamaru was having an easier time of breaking down the stone block in front of him. He looked to the other rocks he had created pillars of that he’d work on next and quickly dismissed them. He had to learn to crawl before he could run as he continued to slowly grind the stone down with the new component he was creating from the larger rock slab. As he started to get the hang of things he looked at breaking down the stone more effectively looking for faults and weak points moving the sand there and disassembling the formation of the stone to a fine powdery sand.

Ink Advanced Element App (Mastery Lightning Major Completed; Mastery Wind Minor Completed)
Kamaru tossed the book on the desk and rubbed his eyes, like the other books that littered the desk Kamaru couldn’t wrap him mind around the principle fully. This was like studying about Shadow based chakra all over again he thought sighing heavily. Although he understood mastering a basic element and even how summoning worked this was something different. Taking thing air and turning it into a substance of this nature just seemed, illogical. Kamaru only guess into the specifics was he was rewriting air on a molecular level through the use of lightning and wind based chakras. From the literature the substance of Ink style chakra was ‘organic’ in some form.

Due to the nature of the substance the closest thing Kamaru could visualize was the fact he was creating something out of the molecules of the air, splicing and charging the partials through the use of lightening and wind chakra to form heavy black oil like substance. Kamaru had mixed feelings when he finally manifested something, unfortunately it was in the form of an explosion of the sticky sludge like ink causing him to clean up and opt to wearing goggles.

Progressively Kamaru moved from inky explosions to being able to just let it fall to the ground. The brackish material flopped over other areas that were still drying for the misguided control. Kamaru debated on if it was based off his artistic skills being the cause for his failures and feeble successes. Considering it was going off his imagination for what could be done through techniques simple control shouldn’t be the question in his mind he though. It was the control over the substance once it was formed and altered through chakra. Kamaru quickly focused on refining the final steps realizing his lack of control was mostly due to the stop of flow in trying to manipulate the chakra, much like sand based chakra he found he needed to continuously manipulate and control the substance once formed.

Once mastered Kamaru found it hard to move dried ink from the training area and formed a pillar of rock that shattered into sand, it seemed a scrub down of sorts was in order.

Storm Advanced Element App (Mastery Lightning Major Completed; Mastery Water Minor Completed)
Kamaru stared at the cloud with a blank expression and tried to control his breathing. His nostrils flared suddenly as he cursed again. He never thought he’d come to hate something like a cloud. It wasn’t he was mood because of an odd freak weather pattern. More so he was aggravated from trying to control a small storm cloud. Formation had been simple since he was already familiar with the idea from other lightning based jutsu. Seeding the cloud was also easy increasing its volume and density. The difficult part came from trying to manipulate the could to do anything besides hover in place for any point of time. Occasionally Kamaru figured it was started to work but when the cloud would just wobble a bit Kamaru realized he was just desperate to see some signs of progress when it would shift back into place.

Kamaru folded his arms and did probably what most people do when they lose it, he started talking to himself.

”Okay think, you’re not going to move this thing around by normal means like a wind current or the whole principle behind this style of chakra is pointless…” Kamaru said breathing in deeply. The nice thing about working with developing a small cloud in his personal training area was the smell of ozone. It made him remember his defeats from the pungent smell and that he had repeatedly cursed at the inanimate object and at some point thrown a rock through the unyielding mass. Kamaru thought about the cloud having given up on moving the water mass inside the cloud and sat back looking at the cloud from the ground.

”Oh.” was all he said quietly as he charged the air around the cloud with different charges and shifted the contents of the clouds water content. The cloud slowly moved. He didn’t have to move the cloud he just had to give it a path to move to. Setting up a guided circuit around became easier as he moved his mind through the paces. Slowly he added in elevation rises and falling attempting to test the new ability. Kamaru gently tested his new found abilities linking them into a guided attack on an out of place stone. The lightning that arced out of the cloud took the path he had prearranged and mapped. At least he though, it got to the final destination everything else happened in the blink of an eye.

Kamaru flopped back onto the cool ground. He’d have a lot more training to do now.

Although he understood mastering a basic element and even how summoning worked this was something different. Taking thing air and turning it into a substance of this nature just seemed, illogical. Kamaru only guess into the specifics was he was rewriting air on a molecular level through the use of lightning and wind based chakras. From the literature the substance of Ink style chakra was ‘organic’ in some form.

Due to the nature of the substance the closest thing Kamaru could visualize was the fact he was creating something out of the molecules of the air, splicing and charging the partials through the use of lightening and wind chakra to form heavy black oil like substance. Kamaru had mixed feelings when he finally manifested something, unfortunately it was in the form of an explosion of the sticky sludge like ink causing him to clean up and opt to wearing goggles.

Progressively Kamaru moved from inky explosions to being able to just let it fall to the ground. The brackish material flopped over other areas that were still drying for the misguided control. Kamaru debated on if it was based off his artistic skills being the cause for his failures and feeble successes. Considering it was going off his imagination for what could be done through techniques simple control shouldn’t be the question in his mind he though. It was the control over the substance once it was formed and altered through chakra. Kamaru quickly focused on refining the final steps realizing his lack of control was mostly due to the stop of flow in trying to manipulate the chakra, much like sand based chakra he found he needed to continuously manipulate and control the substance once formed.

Once mastered Kamaru found it hard to move dried ink from the training area and formed a pillar of rock that shattered into sand, it seemed a scrub down of sorts was in order.

Kamaru stared at the cloud with a blank expression and tried to control his breathing. His nostrils flared suddenly as he cursed again. He never thought he’d come to hate something like a cloud. It wasn’t he was mood because of an odd freak weather pattern. More so he was aggravated from trying to control a small storm cloud. Formation had been simple since he was already familiar with the idea from other lightning based jutsu. Seeding the cloud was also easy increasing its volume and density. The difficult part came from trying to manipulate the could to do anything besides hover in place for any point of time. Occasionally Kamaru figured it was started to work but when the cloud would just wobble a bit Kamaru realized he was just desperate to see some signs of progress when it would shift back into place.

Kamaru folded his arms and did probably what most people do when they lose it, he started talking to himself.

”Okay think, you’re not going to move this thing around by normal means like a wind current or the whole principle behind this style of chakra is pointless…” Kamaru said breathing in deeply. The nice thing about working with developing a small cloud in his personal training area was the smell of ozone. It made him remember his defeats from the pungent smell and that he had repeatedly cursed at the inanimate object and at some point thrown a rock through the unyielding mass. Kamaru thought about the cloud having given up on moving the water mass inside the cloud and sat back looking at the cloud from the ground.

”Oh.” was all he said quietly as he charged the air around the cloud with different charges and shifted the contents of the clouds water content. The cloud slowly moved. He didn’t have to move the cloud he just had to give it a path to move to. Setting up a guided circuit around became easier as he moved his mind through the paces. Slowly he added in elevation rises and falling attempting to test the new ability. Kamaru gently tested his new found abilities linking them into a guided attack on an out of place stone. The lightning that arced out of the cloud took the path he had prearranged and mapped. At least he though, it got to the final destination everything else happened in the blink of an eye.

Kamaru flopped back onto the cool ground. He’d have a lot more training to do now.
