It started with a simple day of training. He sat beneath the waterfall, bare chested, wearing nothing but briefs which were now soaked. He was positioned on a rock at the base of the falls, the waters crashing down onto his body for some time now, creating a numbing effect within him. His hands we're positioned in a specific manner, the web of chakra throughout his body and beyond lighting up through the physical numbness, highlighting everything else so clearly. This light flickered off his body and the water in a manner similar to the crashing falls around him, all entwined together. His focus was this connection with the falls, with the water, the nature itself rushing all around, his chakra spilling into and being pushed back by the waters might. You could feel that might not just physically, but hear it in the roar of the crashing falls, consuming everything around it in its mighty splash. No cease, or end in sight, just the continuous overtaking of all other sounds around. It created a sort of canvas almost, and it was in this static silence that he could truly do his work. Channeling the chakra through his body, Takai fed his very essence into the waters around him, pushing upwards against the waters like the salmon that charges up the stream. Will is the key, what both the chakra and the salmon must have alike. Encouraged by the deafening wave, he is pushed forward, further, to reach deeper into his being and summon that extra bit. Inch by inch the glistening chakra pooled into the water, spreading like swirling roots, slowly pushing upwards against the current causing more and more water to splash off into random directions. The Light that changes natures, with each step of it's march converting the waters around it to it's very cause, droplets marching together up the stream. As the whole of the falls became one with his chakra, the glow began to intensify, but so did what he was experiencing. His consciousness now reaching the peak of the falls, his mind was filled with images as fast as the rushing of the falls itself. It was as if he could taste the history of the falls, speaking to him all at once in some incomprehensible way. The feeling however lit his spine ablaze.
The chakra and the waters now reaching the peak of connectivity, everything spread like a wildfire. The waters that once crashed down upon his body released their pressure and tension, and with this all at once a sense of euphoria kicked in. The sparkling water, shimmering with light, pushed up in what was like an instant, carrying the whole body with it and instead of crashing down below, pushed onward into the sky above, creating a glistening stream of light. As this shining water pushed onward, going with the flow that he felt it desired, he spiraled it's passage downwards back to where the stream lead, but in a manner that was like a spiral of light. Bits of the glistening water shot off in random directions, the force of the falls still much to control, but it was as if the body was working with his chakra, all together trying to preform some feat neither could achieve alone. Together, it was a marvel that brought such a smile to his face, humbled by the waters partaking in his play. As the numbness faded his body, there was just a warmth that filled his heart. It was here in the heart of nature that he felt the most calm, the most in tune, and the most capable of bringing about any kind of training. With the release of his chakra and his concentration, it all came crashing down in an instant. The glimmering stopped, the water cascaded back downward, and it all came crashing down with an extra special roar. But the smile still persisted, even as the numbness came back, even as the roar took over again, he knew he could feel something... Real?
