"Sensei..." Yamato informed Adachi somewhat sheepishly. "My apologies if I don't meet your standards. I am compensating with what little I know."
"No worries," his sensei responded with a shake of his head. "There is always room for improvement. Giving it your best is that I ask for." The ground rumbled moments as instead of a single, large pillar, many medium sized pillars carried sensei and student into the air, each packed in tightly with the other. Closing his eyes in concentration, Yamato flashed through the instructed handseals, causing water to begin leaking from within the pillars, crashing down with gravity as it slowly began gathering below. Adachi nodded in approval at the demonstration as his student wrapped up the technique with a burst of chakra, efficiently destroying the pillars beneath them.
Adachi landed with practiced ease upon the newly formed lake, waiting for the bits and pieces of the earth pillars to completely sink before he turned to Yamato. "As you have not yet learned the appropriate Earth technique for this," he began. "It may be weaker than normal, but there is essentially not that much of a difference. First, let us speak of the Earth technique itself and how it is beneficial in conjunction with this technique. Given that a pillar itself is already a defensive technique against most lower ranged and ranked jutsus, the fact that it also brings you up into the air also allows for a wider perception of the field. You can associate this concept with the likes of a bird's viewpoint - essentially, the higher you are, the more you can see and as always, it is important to keep an eye on your opponent." He paused briefly to walk backwards from Yamato, off the lake onto dry land as he motioned for his student to stay. "Now, let's move on to the waterfall aspect of this jutsu. Asides from creating a water source such as the one you are standing upon that could help your future jutsus, think of the wideness of the waterfall created. Upon a solid, long pillar, it would naturally flow over the edge and onto the ground below, however, take into account the width of the waterfall created and the fact that it would "hide" the section of the pillar it falls over. Due to that and that you still have control of the earth you are standing upon, you can potentially create an opening behind the waterfall to hide in or retreat to, a technique all the more useful if you are aware of the Mole technique that allows you to burrow into the earth you are standing upon. But asides from a water source and its defensive properties, this serves as more supplementary rather than the opposite."

Completing his explanation, Adachi reached within his pocket to pull out a single kunai. "Now, as you have already been taught Water Clone jutsu, I'd like you to put that into use right now. Create a single clone and then by further chakra manipulation, I'd like you to shape it into four medium sized shurikens in which you then aim straight for me. Keep in mind the distance between both of us and also where you target each of the separate attacks."
(Suiton: Takitsubo) - Water Release: Waterfall Basin
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 15
Damage Points: N/A
Description: After performing the required hand seals Boar β Dog β Ram the user creates a waterfall by developing spring water in a place without water veins and manipulating the resulting water current to form a wave. This is a very convenient technique as it can be used for training or relaxation. On the other hand, because it changes the environment on a large scale, it also has the effect of hiding one's location from the enemy by confusing them. The width of the water source, waterfall, and basin can be expended, as long as the user continues to send chakra in.
"Ah yes...quite informative there sensei. Greatly appreciated."
Yamato then channels his chakra throughout his body and with a precise manipulation of the water that was left over from the Waterfall Basin jutsu. He then creates an clone of himself comprised of water chakra. Though on the outside it seemed like himself, the clone could be used for other purposes to which Yamato already knew one. With the clone created, Yamato transformed the clone into 4 water projectiles in the form of what looked like bullets. Using precise movements with his hand, Yamato sends the 4 bullets towards a clone (unless you want it to be you, huehuehue) but controls them so that each goes a different way. One goes to one side of you, one to the other side, and the other two respectively go at a sideways angle above you. As they near you they seem to converge a bit like a claw, coming towards you with force. Yamato looks on with a blank stare as if he knew he forgot something. He looked over to Adachi and spoke nonchalantly.
"Okay so what would you like me to explain, sensei?"
