[Squad Training] Team Dragneel

[Sharingdork]

Taking in a deep breath, Mystogan sighed. He looked about his chosen training ground. It was a large clearing with short grass, and in the middle of the clearing were three stumps. Sitting on a rock across from the stumps, Mystogan looked about at the trees surrounding his main training area.
It was a thick forest all around, not able to see more than twenty feet in any direction into the forest before one's vision was obstructed completely. A ways away, through the woods, was a pool of water for later exercises. The trees filtered a greenish light onto Mystogan's training area, except for when the sun was directly over the opening in the tree-tops above the clearing, where the colors of the forest would become more vibrant for about an hour before the sun drifted back into the path of the light-filtering leaves.
Tapping his toe on the ground, and the butt of his staffs tapping the back of the rock he sat on, Mystogan awaited his three students, assuming they could all find him. It was finally his time to show what he could do; the man he knew as -Tenzo-sensei had inspired him to do just as he was doing now; to teach young shinobi the ways of the ninja. And, inspired by -Tenzo-sensei's great kindness and acceptance of all, Mystogan had set out to be a teacher who, if he were to ever hear about this, would make his old sensei proud to have taught him. He wanted nothing more than to be a great teacher to many people, just as his sensei was to him.
As Mystogan waited, he looked to the sky and watched the clouds drift along the blue sky, measuring time not by minutes and hours, but by the number of clouds which have passed from one side of the clearing to the other. He was at twenty-eight since he started counting, and he hadn't seen the sun pass since he arrived; he either got there quite early, or it had already passed. In any event, Mystogan tutted his tongue as he watched the clouds, the slow motion calming him as he mentally prepared to teach. When his students finally arrived, there was a lot to do.

Spoiler

I don't know if you care much for the name of the Squad... I just named you after Natsu from Fairy Tail, as Mystogan is from Fairy Tail. If you want, I can get a friend of mine to change the name of the thread and squad; I just didn't want a number because that's too much like the series (but if you guys really want a number, that's fine).

Yoshimitsu had just got done with his daily Taijutsu and Kenjutsu training, sweating profusely from the hard work he has done while in his armor that only makes it hotter for him. No one knew what Yoshimitsu has went through as a kid, and no one could have handled it better. I will finally be able to give back after I meet this man. I will finally be able to protect the people in my village. No one will ever mess with us after this training. When is it anyway...? Hell, I have time for a shower. After Yoshimitsu goes to his run down apartment and enters the shower, he turns on the steaming water that beats upon him and trickles down his body, cleaning the sweat and grime from his skin. Yoshimitsu then hears three distinct beeps coming from his room made up of second hand shop furniture. Shit! The first day and I am already late! Yoshimitsu quickly turned off the water after shampooing his hair and hopped out of the shower and found his armor. I guess I could use this. It is a nice set of armor after all. After Yoshimitsu straps himself into his armor, he heads out of his poorly made home and sprints. He sprints for the better part of 20 minutes and he can feel it. His legs are on fire, hamstrings stretched, Achilles tendon is starting to tear. There! I finally made it! After the sprint Yoshimitsu spies a forest and enters it. I can barely see in front of me. This stuff is pretty thick. After another 10 minutes of searching for his teacher, Yoshimitsu sees a pool of water. He takes off his helmet and dunks his head under, taking gulp after gulp. His head was submerged for 30 seconds in total, and as Yoshimitsu lifted his head from the water, he took a huge breath and waited. He can't be far, I know he is arou- Before Yoshimitsu could finish his thought, he heard something beat against a rock. There he is! I can hear him! Yoshimitsu strapped his helmet back on trucked through some branches and twigs to find three stumps and a man with a staff on a rock in a clearing. Are you by chance Mystogan-sensei? The man that will train me to become a better Shinobi than I already am? Yoshimitsu stares at the man, waiting for an answer. He stands straight up, not moving until he hears something from the man.

Godric was still a little sleepy while he was walking towards the training grounds. He was an early riser but he had to get up an hour earlier than usual to make it on time to Mystogan Sensei's chosen training grounds in the woods. It had been around half an hour since he had entered the woods and was making his way to the training grounds through the thick forest. For a moment he wondered that was he even on the right track to the grounds? Then he suddenly realized that he must have reached cause the forest was getting thinner and thinner and after about 30 seconds he knew he had reached the right place cause he could see Mystogan Sensei nearly 20 feet away sitting on the rock across the three stumps gazing at the sky. Sensei must have heard him landing cause as he landed on the grounds Sensei smiled at him and Godric smiled back. As he walked towards Sensei he thought how awesome the training grounds looked. He was surprised to see such a place in the middle of the thick forest and especially the water pool. He could not imagine what a water pool was doing in the middle of a forest but then he knew it must have been Sensei's doing cause he remembered Sensei mentioning all the basic training was going to take place on the training grounds. He finally reached near the rock where Sensei was sitting and said Good Morning Sensei.... =D =D

Vanitas, would arrive on the scene from above. He would burst through the trees somersaulting through the air with many rotations before landing square on his feet a few meters away from his sensei and team. He was abit fatigued but his condition was not grave. Vanitas appeared after many days of self training. He arrived on to the training field for the first time, excited to learn. His self training had gotten him nowhere, or so he thought. Finally he had a master to teach him some real fighting skill. Before this time he had never worked in a team so he is curious to see what may lie ahead when faced with the task of protecting others and working together.

"Sensei, I have arrived", He said with the fatigue evident in his voice. but the drive and the wil was also heard. the fire in his eyes he has and the willingness to gain power was also seen. Vanitas could not wait to learn and become stronger.

"So sensei what is our first order of business?"

As each of his students arrived, Mystogan was silent, and motionless. In his meditative state, he took mental note that his students had arrived, and took slow breaths as he awaited them all. When the third arrived, without opening his eyes, Mystogan spoke.
Welcome. Please, all of you, take a seat where it is provided.
With his intention that his students sit on the stumps across from him, Mystogan paused for a brief moment, waiting for each of his students to move. After a short break, Mystogan continued.
Now, as we begin, I would like to remind all of you that this is intensive training; there will be no leaving this forest until you can all fend for yourselves. I hope you understand this well...
Your first task, each of you, is simply to mold chakra. Chakra is the energy which courses through every living being's veins, and without it, we would die. Though it naturally exists within your being, it does not exist naturally in enough quantity for anyone to utilize it properly in the form of Ninja Skills such as Ninjutsu. Both Shinobi and Samurai must be able to mold chakra, that is, to create more chakra than what naturally exists in our beings, in order to perform techniques.
Chakra is composed of two main energies; your Physical, and your Spiritual Energies. Your Physical Energy is just that; the energy contained within the cells of your body, within your muscles which you use to lift objects, and is simply, overall, limited only by your body's limitations. The stronger a shinobi, the more Physical Energy you have to produce Chakra. Your Spiritual Energy, on the other hand, is much less tangible and harder to measure. Your Physical Energy is measured in how heavy an object your muscles can lift, or how long you can run at a certain speed, while your Spiritual Energy is too much of an abstract concept to be measured properly; I can tell you how much Physical Energy you have by putting you through a few tests, but only you can tell yourself how much Spiritual Energy you have. Your Spiritual Energy stems from things such as how passionate your emotions are, how determined you are to achieve a goal, how strong your will is, what your mental capacity is, and other things of these abstract natures. Your Mental Power, your Will's Strength, your Passion and Determination... This is your Spiritual Energy.
Just like how when you don't move, your body rests, when you do not think, or feel, or resist impulses, your spirit rests. And when your body rests, you can rise again with more strength, so too the spirit. It is with these principles that you are to begin molding your chakra...
With his legs crossed over each other, Mystogan rested his hands on his lap, the back of his hands against his legs with his fingers extended vertically and pressed against each other, his finger tips curling inwards slightly towards his palm.
Copy my position, and wait. As your body rests, your Physical Energy will slowly regenerate and grow. As you are in this position, clear your mind. Think of nothing. Do not be happy, do not be excited, simply be. As your spirit rests, your Spiritual Energy, too, will slowly regenerate at a natural rate, and grow restless, just as your Physical Energy does. Do not allow yourself to become excited if you feel any sensation; be relaxed. It it tougher than it sounds, but if you cannot remain in control of yourself, you will never complete your training.
With your Physical and Spiritual Energies growing, you are then to mix them. This is a stage which is difficult, and near-impossible to explain; it is a feeling. I cannot tell you how to be angry, I cannot explain to a man how to be sad and then expect him to weep on the floor. You will begin to feel your Energies building within your body, and in your Solar Plexus; it will be a "gut" feeling. As they build, use your own intuition to guide yourself to mix the energies together. When done correctly, you should feel something akin to a strong flame burning within your stomach. It is not something to be feared, nor is it, at this point, to be embraced. You are simply to allow it to build. I will give everyone five minutes, and if you cannot build your chakra within that time period, and believe me when I say five minutes to master a technique like this is most likely not enough, we shall attempt another exercise to help you.
You may begin.

 

[Sherlock.]

As Vanitas arrived, Sensei who was sitting in a meditative state on the rock,without opening his eyes instructed all three students to sit on the stumps. Godric sat on the stump that was on the right hand side of Sensei. For a moment he glanced at Yosimotu and Vanitas who also had taken their seats. Then he looked straight at Sensei as Sensei began to teach them about Chakra and it's Basics. He explained to them how Chakra is made up of Physical and Spiritual Energies of an individual. Godric felt pumped up and very motivated when Sensei spoke about Spiritual Energy. Your Mental Power, your Will's Strength, your Passion and Determination... This is your Spiritual Energy. Those words were kind of inspiring for Godric for some reason. He smiled upon hearing them. Then Sensei assumed a Meditative position, with his legs crossed over each other, Sensei rested his hands on his lap, the back of his hands against his legs with his fingers extended vertically and pressed against each other, his finger tips curling inwards slightly towards his palm. He asked the students to follow him and get into the same meditative Position and they all followed. Finally Sensei gave them instruction on how to mould Chakra.
Godric took a deep breath and closed his eyes. His body felt relaxed and he could feel himself rejenuvating, the cool wind in the forest mildly slapping his face and fragrances of the flowers on trees near the grounds making him feel fresh and cheerful. He tried to clear his mind of all thoughts. The immediate thoughts that were surfacing in his mind were, "Will I be able to mould my Chakra in 5 mins? What will be the next exercise? Am I doing this correctly or no cause I shouldn't be thinking anything but I'm still having thoughts. Are those two doing it better than me? No I shouldn't compare myself with others.Comparison is useless cause everyone is different." And he started feeling restless cause he wasn't controlling his thoughts. He took a deep breath once more and affirmed to himself,"I am meditating. My mind is calm and clear. I am in control. I can do it." He again took a deep breath and finally got his mind cleared after firmly affirming he was in control of his thoughts and that he could do it. After about a minute Godric started feeling something. He could feel it. He felt powerful. He felt happy and excited. But then he remembered Sensei saying "Don't get excited.Just be." So he just tried to feel both energies flowing within him, then he focused hard on them and tried to get them in sync, he could feel the energies growing and syncing harmoniously with each other within him, he had this sensation within his Torso where he felt energy building up rapidly. But he wasn't sure whether he could control it just yet. Finally when he felt he had molded enough Chakra and when he couldn't control it any further, he put his mind at rest once again and opened his eyes with a smile on his face.

 

[Sefirosu Masamune]

Vanitas took his seat next to Godric. Sitting across from his sensei he listened to his words with great discernment. Vanitas would prepare his mind for the hardships he would have to endure over the coarse of this training. He was willing to do anything to gain the power his master was willing to teach him to wield. He would take the meditative position as his master instructed him. He would close his eyes and allow his strong minded will to fade from his heart. He cleared his mind as his sensei instructed him. He seemed to have lost all thought and emotion in the great void inside of his mind. He would feel a small sensation he would describe as a subtle warmth begin to rise within his being.

"This must be the feeling master was talking about"

He thought. No sooner as the thought entered his mind did the warmth begin to fade.

"What happened"

he wondered. Just then his masters words were remembered.

" Do not allow yourself to become excited if you feel any sensation; be relaxed. It it tougher than it sounds, but if you cannot remain in control of yourself, you will never complete your training."

As he was reminded of these words, he was sure he could raise his spiritual energy once more without letting it slip away. He then proceeded to clear his mind once more. Understanding now how to handle the rise in his spiritual energy he knew that by clearing his mind his physical energy would also grow. He was more adept when it came to controlling his physical energy. The feeling of his rising physical energy was not as surprising and exciting as his spiritual energy when it was rising. this allowed for him not to lose focus when his physical energy was at its peak. With in the 3 minute mark the spiritual energy began to build once more. this time maintaining control, the warmth grew into what he described as an ember. He would use his physical energy to balance out the burning feeling as it spawned in his stomach. As he balanced, the burning of the ember grew even warmer and his spiritual energy began to rise even higher than it was before. now it was rising at a more constant rate. though he felt like he was learning to control the chakra, he noticed he could not balance the spiritual chakra anymore after a certain point. his physical energy was too great and his spiritual energy was lacking . He did not have a proper balance to master the technique. He would realize this and let the frustration into his mind as he released the built up energy he summoned. His frustration would turn into drive. Vanitas did not like to fail. He was willing to complete his goal at all cost.Clinching his fist with a slight smirk on his face, he would close his eyes once more.

"Im not about to give up!!"

He would say alound. His goal weighing heavy on his mind. With the clock counting down the pressure was on. he wanted to complete the task by any means

"I will gain the strength to protect those I love and to slay the wicked!!"

He exclaimed aloud before he set to clear his mind once more. before he clearned his mind for his third attempt he let one last thought pass through his head.

"Your Mental Power, your Will's Strength, your Passion and Determination... This is your Spiritual Energy."

With his new found determination and remembering his sensei told him that that was the key to tapping into his spiritual energy, he found a new confidence within himself. Though now the 5 minutes assigned to complete the task had past, he realized that his failure was what he needed to push him to gathering enough spiritual chakra.


"Sensei I did not master the technique. But let me try again. I do not like failure and I am not about to give up now. Once we begin our next exercise I am positive I will master the technique!!"

 

[Penguin]

Yoshimitsu listened to his sensei speak and chose the last open stump to sit on. As he sat down his sensei talked about how he must endure the harsh training that would be held in this forest. Yoshimitsu already knew he wouldn't leave this forest without learning all he could from Mystogan. After a long speech on chakra, Yoshimitsu finally understood what chakra was, having been slightly confused on the matter. This man knows what he is talking about. Real detailed. I must give him my best or he will root me out as the weakest... Yoshimitsu listened to Mystogan tell the students to copy his meditative position, so he did on the stump. Yoshimitsu crosses his legs in an Indian style position, while extending his arms with his palms up, touching his index finger and thumb finger shaping a ring. Yoshimitsu was starting to feel more invigorated with energy, after sprinting his way here. After fully recuperating, he tries to convert his physical energy into spiritual energy. While doing this, Yoshimitsu kept thinking about wanting to be stronger, to help his village. He knew he would be good enough to serve them after this training, but it kept distracting him from his goal. Yoshimitsu's face, under his mask, showed great strain. Why can't I clear my mind? It is driving me nuts! How am I suppose to help the people I cannot stop thinking about? That was all that ran through his mind; helping the ones he cared about. But to help them, he would need to quit thinking about them so much. Yoshimitsu re-adjusts his position and clears his mind. Nothing was being thought of at all. He was at complete peace, something that was almost un-achievable for him in the past. He feels his spiritual energy and physical energy molding. He cannot explain the feeling, but on a minimal scale the two energies were bonding together. Damn this is tougher than I had expected!

So, Spiritual Energy is very difficult for us, the viewer of Naruto, to understand, but I'll do my best to explain. As I said, it's your Determination, your Willpower, and all that stuff. However, as you were asked to build up your Physical and Spiritual Energies by relaxing them... Here's how I see it. You don't use your body, you become rested and can use your Physical Energy later. In the same way, you can't use your Spiritual Energy, your determination, or else you will be expending it, rather than letting it grow. So, as you become determined to form your chakra, your Spiritual Energy is being depleted twice as fast, as you're using it on its own, as well as to form chakra. This is why we train, so it comes naturally. If you don't try, but simply do (meaning it doesn't require effort to perform), you use less Spiritual and Physical Energy uselessly when trying to mold chakra, giving you, essentially more chakra. The growing chakra reserves of high-level shinobi come from both their chakra reserves growing as they train, as well as their not wasting Energies while trying to mold chakra. Aside from that part at the end, everything seemed good; keep it up.

Yoshimitsu listened to his sensei speak and chose the last open stump to sit on. As he sat down his sensei talked about how he must endure the harsh training that would be held in this forest. Yoshimitsu already knew he wouldn't leave this forest without learning all he could from Mystogan. After a long speech on chakra, Yoshimitsu finally understood what chakra was, having been slightly confused on the matter. This man knows what he is talking about. Real detailed. I must give him my best or he will root me out as the weakest... Yoshimitsu listened to Mystogan tell the students to copy his meditative position, so he did on the stump. Yoshimitsu crosses his legs in an Indian style position, while extending his arms with his palms up, touching his index finger and thumb finger shaping a ring. Yoshimitsu was starting to feel more invigorated with energy, after sprinting his way here. After fully recuperating, he tries to convert his physical energy into spiritual energy. While doing this, Yoshimitsu kept thinking about wanting to be stronger, to help his village. He knew he would be good enough to serve them after this training, but it kept distracting him from his goal. Yoshimitsu's face, under his mask, showed great strain. Why can't I clear my mind? It is driving me nuts! How am I suppose to help the people I cannot stop thinking about? That was all that ran through his mind; helping the ones he cared about. But to help them, he would need to quit thinking about them so much. Yoshimitsu re-adjusts his position and clears his mind. Nothing was being thought of at all. He was at complete peace, something that was almost un-achievable for him in the past. He feels his spiritual energy and physical energy molding. He cannot explain the feeling, but on a minimal scale the two energies were bonding together. Damn this is tougher than I had expected!

Alright, so, your Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy are completely separate until they become chakra; one does not convert into the other. Other than that, your description was alright. Keep up the good work.

If any of you ever have any questions on anything, even "insignificant" portions which don't truly affect the RP aspect (my take on how things would work if this were real, for example), I'd be happy to answer. My students from the Squad Training are expected (by myself) to leave this training with a full working knowledge of everything "Naruto".

Well, it seems that everyone would like some more time to practice molding their chakra properly? This is fine; everyone, this time I'll adjust the system. Now, each one of you will attempt to mold your chakra, and once you've begun to feel the warm flame in the pit of your stomach from the chakra, you are to attempt to focus your chakra to your foreheads, right underneath this leaf.
Focusing his chakra into the air around himself, Mystogan caused three leaves to rise from the ground and to move through the air, each one touching the forehead of each student, and becoming stuck there once Mystogan released his chakra. Taking a small breath, Mystogan continued.
Your chakra, one molded, is a part of you. It is chakra which keeps everything alive, just like your blood, only the difference with chakra and shinobi is that we can create more chakra through willpower alone, just because we want more, and we can then manipulate this chakra beyond ourselves and use it for multiple techniques most humans could only dream of. However, right now, you're controlling it within your body, using your chakra as an extension of yourself. Just like a child learning to walk, when you attempt to focus your chakra to a single point, it will be clumsy at first. But with more practice, focusing your chakra becomes second nature. After a set amount of time, I will once again ask each of you how your progress has become, and if we are ready to move onto the next stage of preparing ourselves for learning the Way of the Ninja. Begin.
The whole time, Mystogan sat there, motionless except for his lips to speak, and his chest for breathing.

Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short-Long
Chakra Cost:15
Damage Points:30
Description: This technique allows a shinobi to hover multiple kunai in the air while they approach a target. The technique allows a ninja to unleash a torrent of kunai, shuriken, or other weapons much more quickly than if each was thrown individually.

After Godric opened his eyes and smiled looking at Sensei, he looked at Vanitas who was right next to him and Yoshimotu who was sitting further, both seemed to be still in meditation and after a few moments both opened their eyes. After all the students had come out of meditation and their attempt to mold Chakra, Sensei asked each one of them to share their experience beginning from Godric then Vanitas and finally Yoshimotu. After listening to the experience of all three students Sensei told Godric that he seemed to have done well which made Godric a little happy and asked him to carefully listen to what he was going to say to the other two so that Godric could learn from their experiences as well. From what Sensei told Vanitas, Godric gathered that instead of trying hard and straining one's mind and depleting Spiritual Energy one must let the energy build itself in initial stages. As one trains more and more it becomes easier to build energy. Then Sensei told Yoshimotu that Spiritual Energy and Physical Energy are completely separate until they become Chakra and that one does not convert into the other.

Sensei then said that it was time to move to their next exercise which would be molding Chakra in their stomach and then focusing that Chakra underneath the leaf on their Forehead. In the next instant 3 leaves rose from the ground and each leaf went and touched the forehead of each student. Godric was rather amazed at how Sensei had made those leaves come and touch their foreheads. It reminded him of a Magic Show he once saw as a child where the Magician was lifting chocolates from the table on stage without touching them and making them hover over the table and then finaly directing them in the kids hands. That Magician must have known Shinobi skills. Also I wonder if I'm looking funny with this Leaf on my forehead? Oi!! I must not get off track!! Godric thought to himself. He then listened to Sensei as Sensei told them more about Chakra. He then asked them to begin the second exercise.

Godric was a bit more confident this time cause he had practiced molding Chakra a few minutes ago and knew he could perform better this time. So Godric assumed the meditative position once again, closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He again started feeling both his physical and spiritual energies. He remained mentally and physically relaxed and let both the energies build. He then focused on syncing both the energies with each other forming Chakra. He started to feel a certain warmth inside his Torso and it increased rapidly as he focused on his energies more and more and synced them. He could finally feel his Chakra in his Torso. He then tried to focus it beneath the leaf on his Forehead. It was a difficult task to redirect the newly formed Chakra from the Torso to the Forehead. Relax and be calm. Don't get strained. Let it flow freely. Let the Chakra Flow. Godric told himself. He then first focused on the Leaf. He tried to feel the Leaf's touch on his Forehead even more. He then tried to direct his Chakra to the point on his Forehead where he could feel the Leaf touching his forehead. It seemed difficult and tricky at first as he had to focus on the Chakra and redirect it to the Forehead. But after a few attempts he could focus his newly formed Chakra to his forehead beneath the leaf. Think I got the hang of it. He said to himself. And he focused his Chakra on his forehead beneath the Leaf for more couple of minutes. It was getting easier each passing moment and he was able to mold a certain level of Chakra (though quite small level since he had just started training) and focus it on his forehead with less and less effort. Finally when he felt he had reached his current limit, he put his mind at rest and opened his eyes.

After hearing his sensei's criticism on his words, Yoshimitsu was delighted that his sensei was impressed. He took the comments his sensei spoke and began to understand what he was doing wrong. So physical and spiritual energy, when combined, form chakra. I get it now. I was trying to convert my physical energy and do God knows what. This will help me in so many ways! Under his mask, Yoshimitsu was excited, almost about to pop which was a rare occurrence. No one knew this though, since he had his mask on hiding any emotion he was showing. After the thought, a leave had been placed on his head. A leaf on my mask? I can deal with it. Still in his meditative state, Yoshimitsu began taking deep breaths. He was finally calming down after controlling his heart rate with his breathing, a secret he had learned in the Manji clan. This stump is starting to hurt my anus, but I better not let sensei know that. He would think less of me. While in his meditative state, Yoshimitsu closed the eyes being hid in the mask, and was completely calm and lax. He took a breathe every five seconds, controlling his heart rate to about 70 beats a minute, thinking about his heart rate the entire time. After maintaining his heart rate for two minutes, he started focusing on his spiritual and physical energies. While feeling something warm in his stomach, Yoshimitsu also felt more energized and invigorated. Is this what it is like to properly mold chakra? Wait, shit! I am losing focus! The sensation was gone and Yoshimitsu just felt numb, being pained almost accomplishing his goal and botched it up. So close! I literally felt it. One more time. Yoshimitsu had maintained the meditative position the entire time, growing tired of being in the same position. Here we go! Yoshimitsu locates his physical and spiritual energies. To be safe he only takes a minimal amount of each and begins to mold the two, feeling a warm sensation in his stomach. The feeling invigorated Yoshimitsu and made him feel amazing. He knew not to even think about anything besides moving the warm feeling onto his forehead. The warm feeling flowed through his stomach, in his chest, up through the eso****us, and all the way to his forehead under the mask. So close! I won't lose it this time! The warm feeling had finally flown to his forehead, and with precise control he let it flow to the leaf on his forehead, and the leaf begins to wiggle around but Yoshimitsu loses control. I gave it my all, and that is all I can ask of myself. I almost had it!

 

[Sefirosu Masamune]

Vanitas grew calm and closed his eyes as he sat. relaxing his body and mind once more he began to raise his stamina levels. He cleared his mind with a new understanding of the task at hand. his hands in prayer position, with his palms touching each other he sat in meditation. The only sound he would make would make would be the inhale and exhale of the air he was in taking. As moments passed his chakra would then begin to become aroused. In feeling this he did not change his technique. he remained calm and clear headed. He had even forgotten the leaf was on his forehead until he felt the wind blowing against his skin, and the wind pressure was absent from the spot behind the leaf. he then proceeded to circulate the chakra he gathered. Vanitas could feel his chakra coursing through his chakra points, this time with little effort as his sensei had mentioned. He was beginning to do it effortlessly, thought the amount of chakra he could effortlessly control was not massive. With this steady easily manageable chakra he began focusing it on the spot absent of the air behind the leaf. the warm feeling would blanket his body but the feeling would continue to pulsate around the middle of his forehead as he focused the chakra. He then opened his eyes and released his gathered chakra for he had run into a problem in his training once more.

"Sensei I now know how to gather my chakra, but I am finding it difficult to focus in in a specific area of my body. is there any suggestions on how i can focus my chakra in one area without losing the balance of physical and spiritual energies in my body? as you said im abit clumbsy with my chakra as of now but I am very close to achieving the goal. I can now gather a manageable amount effortlessly but focusing it is where I am having trouble"

That was good description; I liked your post.

Now, since Shóūri will be away for a while, I suppose I have to go through some things he can miss, but will still be beneficial for you. Here goes something I was hoping to do with all three of you, and maybe I still can later on in the training. U_U

After waiting some time, Mystogan spoke once more.
That should be enough time... I trust that each of you are making progress, and are moving at your own rate? Your efforts aren't for nothing, as each of you are slowly becoming better and better shinobi, being able to mold your chakra for the moment later down your road of life in which you will need to be able to mold it at a moment's notice. However, at this point in time, I feel that we should begin by testing your overall abilities.
Moving for the first time, Mystogan stood up and walked past the three stumps his students were sitting on.
Please rise and follow me. This will let me see where you are at for the training to come.
Mystogan then continued to walk into the forest, checking over his shoulders every few moments to ensure his students were following. Eventually, he found his way to a large clearing lined with trees, leading into the ever-expansive forest. Turning back around, Mystogan reached into his pocket and took out two bells on strings, which he then attached to the side of his pants and let them dangle, the bells jingling.
This is the bell test. The rules are simple; take the bells from me. You may use any means necessary. Nothing is off-limits. However, be wary that I will be fighting back the whole time. Whenever you are ready, you may come.

Godric had been trying to mold his Chakra for quite a few minutes now. Finally he was feeling like he was doing it perfectly. He was facing trouble molding his Chakra earlier and that is why when Sensei asked them to accompany him to another place in the woods for their Bell Test,Godric had requested Sensei to give him a few more mins to be able to perfectly mold his Chakra. Sensei told him it was fine if Godric wanted to perfect his molding of Chakra and Godric could take part in the next Bell Test. So they had gone to the test location while Godric sat there meditating and trying to improve his molding of Chakra to the desired level which he achieved in about fifteen minutes. Godric then slowly opened his eyes and looked at the training field once more and imagined how the future training was going to be like. He got up from the stump and walked around the training field once and when he was about to get back to his seat on the stump he could hear someone landing from the woods. He looked in that direction and was glad to see that they had returned.

Yoshimitsu returns to his spot on the log with his legs crisscrossed and palms on his knees.

How nice of you to return, Godric.

 

[Sharingdork]

As his students sat down, Mystogan walked past them and onto the rock on which he had been previous sitting. Standing on the rock, and with his back to his students, Mystogan began to speak.
Listen well, young ones. If you cannot keep up to the pace of this training, there will be consequences. I will not have one student disrupting anothers training.
Weaving a few handseals, Mystogan fell to one knee and struck his palm against the ground. As he hit the ground, the earth around one of his students rose and clamped around him like jaws. The earth then descended, taking away that student and his stump.
Slowly rising to his feet, Mystogan once again began to speak to his students without looking at them directly.

Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user performs the Ram → Horse → Tiger → Rabbit → Snake and slams their palm on the ground. Instantly, the ground to the sides of the opponent take the shape of huge jaws and attempt to crush and stab him between them. The size of the jaws can be adjusted to fit the size of the opponent or other uses.

We are still working with chakra control. This next exercise is known as the Tree Climbing exercise. And it is just that; you will climb trees.
Reaching into a weapon's pouch, Mystogan removed two kunai and threw them into trees to his left and right, still not looking towards his students.
You will need those to mark your progress. Now then, if there's no questions... We can get to the twist in your challenge. You are not allowed to use your hands.
Mystogan then paused, a small breeze fluttering his pant legs.
This exercise works by you channeling your chakra into the soles of your feet, and then using this chakra to create a force between your feet and the tree. Too weak a force, and you will fall. Too great a force, and you will be pushed back away from the tree. However, with just the right amount of force, you will be able to "stick" to the tree with the flat soles of your feet, and be able to walk up it. This is fairly advanced chakra control, but necessary in order for us to move onto proper techniques which have use in battle. Once you two can climb to the top of your respective trees, we shall move on to the final exercise for chakra control.

 

[Penguin]

Yoshimitsu watches as the student next to him got more or less eaten by earth jaws. Such a cool jutsu! But now was not the time to waste, gawking over cool jutsu. Yoshimitsu had to listen to every word Mystogan said. Grab the kunai, use chakra control, and run up the tree? Doesn't seem to hard. Yoshimitsu walks over to the tree where his kunai lay, and grasped it with his right hand, grabbing the kunai at the base in a reverse hold where the blade is running down his forearm. Yoshimitsu then jogs about two meters back from the tree and starts kneading chakra in his body. As he kneads the chakra, he lets the chakra flow through several points in his body as it raced lower and lower until it reached the soles of his feet. Well, now or never I suppose. Yoshimitsu starts dashing, noticing that with every step he pushes off the ground more than usual but takes no mind and he makes it three steps up the tree and suddenly is somehow pushed off and lands on his back with no time to slash the tree, rustling leaves and bringing up dirt as he landed. Damn that hurt! Oh hell my back! After about a minute of rubbing his back, Yoshimitsu decides he needs to limit the chakra flow that is already in the soles of his feet. There, that should do it. Yoshimitsu then starts running again, but this time kept notice of his chakra control. He made contact with the tree and he felt as if he would make it up the whole tree. I am doing it! Another five steps and Yoshimitsu notices that he is not even 2 meters in the air and starts to fall. With his right arm, he gashes the tree and plummets to the ground, making sure his kunai did not cut him when he landed. He could now taste blood from biting his cheek and dirt from the ground. Dammit that hurt! This is really tough. But I know I can do it! With what hope and will he had left, he stood back 2 meters away from the tree, not wanting to let his sensei down again. Not to mention that upstart Godric was doing great, so Yoshimitsu had to be on his A game. Yoshimitsu held the kunai regularly this time, grabbing the base with his right hand and having the tip point away from his body, with the back side of his hand facing right and his palm facing left, and he started running. He finally put his right foot on the tree during mid run and regulated some chakra to the soles of his feet, connecting him to the tree more or less. It was a beautiful feeling being able to stick to the tree. Each passing stride he got higher and higher, already passing his last mark by at least 2 meters. Yoshimitsu knew he was about to fall soon, and was so close to the top of the tree. The top is within an arms length, so I am going to cut it now! Yoshimitsu gashes the tree at the top, and then does a double back flip off the tree, landing on his feet. That was rather cool, no?

 

[Sherlock.]

As Sensei, Yoshimotu and Vanitas landed, Godric took his seat on the stump. Yoshimotu and Vanitas took their respective seats and Sensei stood on his stump, his back to the three students. Then Sensei said he would not allow one student to disrupt the training of the others and for a split second Godric thought Sensei was talking about him. After a tensed moment as Godric was about to open his mouth and apologize for being slow in the previous exercise and not being part of the Bell Test, he saw Vanitas being eaten by the earth around him. It drained the color off Godric's face. So he must have slowed down during the Bell Test?! Guess I should put in greater efforts from now on or next time I'll be the one to be eaten up by the earth! Just the thought of it shook Godric to the core and he looked at Sensei with terror in his eyes who was still standing with his back towards Godric and Yoshimotu. Sensei then said their next exercise was going to be the tree climbing exercise and still not looking at Godric and Yoshimotu, took two Kunais out of his pouch and threw one each at a tree. He then instructed them how to perform the exercise.

Godric got up from his stump, walked towards the tree on the right side and pulled the Kunai out of the tree with his right hand. He was confident that he could do this exercise well as he had practiced Chakra control well during his last exercise. He steeped about ten to fifteen feet behind. Godric then stood straight, his eyes closed, gathering Chakra below his feet. When he felt he had gathered enough Chakra, Godric ran towards the tree and placed his left foot on the tree's trunk which went straight inside the trunk. Damn! I used a bit too much Chakra! And pulled his left foot out from the trunk. He went behind ten to fifteen feet again,gathered his chakra at his feet again and ran towards the tree but this time he instantly fell onto the ground. Again!Come on!I practiced Chakra control really hard during the previous exercise! I cannot perform like a moron in this exercise! I took extra time for the previous one and I need to make sure it pays off during this exercise! Godric got up from the ground wiping the dust off his clothes, determined, he looked at the tree,took a deep breath,moved back and closed his eyes. Godric then visualised how much amount of Chakra he had used during his two previous attempts to climb the tree. He made sure this time he didn't use too much or too less Chakra and gathered a proper amount of Chakra at his feet and ran towards the tree and without getting stuck in the trunk or falling onto the ground made it all the way upto the top of the tree. Oh Yeah! It paid off! Sensei I reached the top of the tree!

 

[Sharingdork]

After hearing his student's acclamations, Mystogan withdrew his eye-headed staff and looked into its surface. The reflection created on the eye allowed Mystogan to see his students on the ground, and in a tree, respectively, without turning around. Closing his eyes and nodding, Mystogan began to speak again.
Your chakra control has advanced. This is good. Your final stage in learning how to control your chakra awaits. This way.
Walking past his students, Mystogan began to walk through the trees of the forest, knowing full well where he himself was headed, and not stopping to ensure that his students were, in fact, following. Mystogan continued to walk, winding through the trees as he needed to, until he came out to a smaller clearing than the main training area. The smaller clearing let less light into the area, as the trees were more dense, but there was a small lake, if you could call it that, in the middle. Not stopping his stride, or even slowly down, Mystogan pressed onwards and walked straight over the water's surface, the water's surface rippling with every step, until he stood at the very center of the lake. Turning around to face from where he came, and most likely where his students were if they could follow him, Mystogan stood, his staff changed so that his ringed staff was in his hand with the butt dipped slightly in the water, staring emotionlessly towards where he expected his students to be. Somewhere not too far off, crickets chirped.
The final chakra control exercise is known as the Water Walking exercise. The basics of this are simple to explain, but very complicated to perform; even moreso than the Tree Climbing exercise. You begin by focusing chakra into the soles of your feet. Then, you will step onto the water. As your feet touch the water's surface, you exert chakra into the water in order to overcome gravity and increase your own buoyancy so that you can, in fact, walk on water. Now, this is where things get more complicated; not enough chakra, and you will sink. Too much chakra, and your balance will be strewn and that will cause the water around you to shift uncontrollably, which brings me to what, in fact, makes this the hardest exercise. As the water around you shifts, even with the ripples of your own walking, so too the amount of chakra you output changes. If the water is deeper, then you need more chakra. If it is violent and moving, you need more chakra. This means if you use too much, then you will have to adjust your chakra you output at a rate too high for shinobi such as yourselves to be expected to do, and as such you will sink.
Now then, your task; you are to make your way to me. The task itself is no more complicated than that. The only addition is that you must not allow any part of your body past your knees get wet. As you can see, the distance the trees are from the pool of water is too great to jump from, safely, so you can already forget that strategy. This is to better yourselves, and allow chakra control for techniques to come easier. Whenever you are ready, you may begin.

Sitting on the top of the large tree was much more fun than Godric had imagined. The view was amazing. Godric could see birds flying from tree to tree and the morning sun shone brightly at him. The wind felt much more faster on the top of the tree than it felt on the ground level. It was a reward of its own after a few exercises that they had performed. Godric enjoyed the view for a couple of minutes and then looked at Yoshimotu who had almost made it to the top of the tree. Around half a minute later Yoshimotu reached the top of his tree as well and declared so. Sensei who was standing with his back to the students withdrew a weird looking weapon, a staff perhaps. Sensei looked at it and nodded. Godric got a feeling that the staff could show Sensei Godric and Yoshimotu even though he wasn't even looking at them. Sensei then told them they were about to begin their last Chakra Control Exercise and turning around and past through his students started walking through the trees of the forest, knowing full well where he himself was headed, and not stopping to ensure that his students were, in fact, following. Sensei continued to walk, winding through the trees as he needed to, until he came out to a smaller clearing than the main training area. The smaller clearing let less light into the area, as the trees were more dense, but there was a small lake in the middle. Not stopping his stride Sensei pressed onwards and walked straight over the water's surface, the water's surface rippling with every step, until he stood at the very center of the lake. This was the most amusing thing Godric had ever seen throughout the day. He had only heard that Shinobi could walk on water but this was the first time he saw someone doing it. Is this going to be our last exercise?! Walking on Water?! He thought to himself. Just before he could ask it aloud, Sensei began to speak and his question was answered. Walking on water was indeed the Final Chakra Control Exercise. Sensei then instructed them on how to perform the exercise and asked them to begin.

Godric looked at the calm surface of the water infront of him, took a deep breath and begin to gather his chakra at his feet. "Less Chakra and you will sink. More Chakra and the water will shift uncontrollably." Keeping in mind these words of Sensei, Godric placed his right foot on the water surface and his foot sunk. He quickly pulled his foot out of the water and stood on the ground for more couple of mins gathering more chakra. Then he once again placed his right foot on the water. This time it didn't sink but the water was shifting. Godric didn't pull back his foot this time and placed his left foot from off the ground to the water. Both his feet on water, Godric was now standing on a continuously shifting water surface. For a moment he even thought he was going to fall. He went a few feet ahead midst the continuous movement of water, taking each step very carefully as to make sure he doesn't sink. He then decided to adjust then Chakra levels below his feet and reduce them a bit so that the water would stop shifting. He didn't wanted to risk it all so he decided to reduce little proportions of Chakra below one foot at a time. He looked at his feet, closed his eyes and focused on the chakra below his feet. He carefully "measured" or more like felt how much chakra he had below his feet and reduced a little amount of chakra from below his left foot while keeping the chakra below his right foot the same so that he doesn't completely sink because of low chakra levels below both his feet. The water below his left foot shifted at a slower rate now. Now he felt the level of chakra flow under his left foot and brought down the level of chakra below his right foot to the same levels and the water below it to started to shift at a slower rate as opposed to the faster rate at which it was earlier shifting. Godric carefully walked a few more steps towards Sensei, carefully without losing his concentration and without falling. He realised he was half way through. He stopped againg as while walking he had realized that his Chakra below the feet was high causing some water around his feet to shift. He repeated the whole adjusting the chakra levels of each foot at a time process once again and walked a few steps more towards Sensei. He was almost there, just a few more steps and he would reach Sensei. He stopped again. Repeated the adjusting of the chakra levels process one last time as the water below his feet stopped shifting. He then walked the few final steps towards Sensei confidently, with only small ripples of water forming below his feet. Godric knew he had made it. Pausing after every few steps, "measuring" chakra levels required below the feet and trying and testing chakra levels needed to walk on water, it had paid off. Godric had learned to control his chakra to a level good enough that now he could walk on water!
