Chakra Control
Now, this is a basic training that is part of the Diagnosis training but I prefer to do it in a separate thread. Tell me, in your own words, what do you understand as "chakra control"?

Well let's see. What I under stand about chakra control is exactly how is sounds. The ability to control the flow of your chakra. Normally most people in the naruto verse have some type of chakra control but not all of them can master it to the extent of some clans in example the Hyuga Clan who are hailed as masters of chakra control or medical personnel as they would need the proper control in order to perform more precise procedures.
The better you under stand your chakra flow , the easier it is to cast techniques and also being able to identify abnormal behavior in it such as Genjutsu but obviously one still has to break it

[Chakra Control]
I'd say Chakra Control pertains to the ability to correctly control the amount of chakra moulded for something. If I remember correctly from the manga, this was an issue brought up by Kakashi when Sasuke and Naruto (and Sakura >_>) had to learn how to properly control their chakra in order to master the basic skill of walking/running up the trees. Naruto, being as eager as always, used too much chakra and not having the ability to control it, messed up the technique and as such, fell down from the tree. Funnily enough, Sakura was shown to be able to do it better than the boys, and was later aspired to be a Medical Ninja, where she became good as well.
Nonetheless, the ability to control ones chakra is vital, as using too much will either mess up the technique or simply waste away ones' stamina whilst moulding or not controlling the right amount of chakra. So that means things like walking on water and running up trees were methods of learning chakra control at an early stage, and thus allowed the shinobi to be able to control their chakra effectively depending on what they were doing in order to not exhaust themselves and also perform a technique correctly. Delving more on this, Jiraiya noticed something was wrong with Naruto's chakra, however, this inability to control his chakra was due to a seal, meaning if you can't control it correctly or something messes it up, it leads to some undesirable consequences.
Also another thing I remember about chakra control was that the Hyuga were stated to be quite good at it (probably due to being able to see the pathway as well as their overall understanding of chakra itself) and Medical Ninja as well, as they had to be precise with it in order to actually utilize Medical Ninjutsu. I think that's all I know about it.

You both grasped the essential but I'd define chakra control as this:
We've seen that the more chakra someone has at their disposal, the harder it is to exert control over it, which is easy to understand. Its also easy to understand that controlling chakra mixed with foreign energies, such as Natural Energy, is much harder and requires more control.
As a Medical Ninja you'll refine your chakra control to the outmost level one can without needing to learning Yin/Yang Release. In a battle, this won't signify much tbh. In the Manga/Anime, great chakra control enables you to use advanced techniques, do handseals faster and to tightly string together more techniques. In NB RPG, all of those would break the time frame so is more a cosmetic reference than anything. None the less, we still need to teach you control and awareness of your own chakra and chakra flow.
So, to start, please sit with your legs crossed and do your prefered handseal for meditation. I want you to start by feeling your chakra and describing to me what you feel.
From the description above, you clearly see that every single ninja capable of using ninjutsu has chakra control. Its the core basic ability that allows one to use Ninjutsu. However, in the same way that every human can run but not all humans run at the same speed, while all ninjas have chakra control, not all have it to the same degree and some have inherently more control over their chakras than others.

With the instructions given, Nakiri took way his Sensei said and placed itself onto the ground. Once he does, making with his two hands the tiger seal while having his legs crossed in the lotus position he begins to mediate on his chakra. The seal was a great addition as it allowed him to keep his chakra smoothly flowing as he "listen" at the chakra resonance in his body. Though roughly a figure of speech, Nakiri was paitent with himself. He synced his breathing with his heart beats and watched how his chakra reacted.
It feels like a small river, though the rivers flow is calm and steady. It can be erupted or stopped with the right intrusion. My chakra feels like that, an easy going and flowing river.
Nakiri said with his eyes closed still, mediating further while keeping the tiger seal intact

Orochimaru follows what his teacher had explained, nodding his head to the instruction. With that being said, Orochimaru sits down, his hands forming into a Ram hand seal and closes his yellow snake like eyes. Focusing on his breathing at first, Orochimaru now attained a true meditative stance. He was calm and collected, as well as focused. He understood his goal, which was explaining how he felt at that moment, or rather, how his chakra felt. Without opening his eyes, and remaining calm, Orochimaru would proclaim;
"From what I understand, my chakra flow is currently in balance, a perfect flow between the physical and spiritual energies. Moving with ease, no disruption nor force. Through focus, this can of course, be manipulated. But by default, it is steady."
He says, keeping still in his meditative position.

Now, note that your chakra flows and exists with given characteristics. Each person has a different set and this is what makes a chakra signature. It pertains to how "harsh" it is, how fast it flows, how much ratio is there between physical and spiritual energies, etc. This is the "default" state that a healthy human has.
Lets then try some exercises of control. I want you to divert more and more chakra from your extremities and into your core chakra spiral. Use your breathing to pulsate your effort. Breathe out when relaxing your control over your chakra and breathe in to bring your chakra back into your core. Repeat in steady intervals and you'll notice that slowly you can move more of your chakra inwards into your core each time. You won't ever be able ot pull it all out (otherwise your extremities would die) from your extremities but like a river that can flow fuller or thinner, so can your chakra within the chakra lines.

The stage gas been set, it was now time for Nakiri to put some of up this instructions into actual use. Resting himself in the same position as before, he closed his eyes once more and placing his hands together in order to form the tiger seal once again. The lotus position in place, Nakiri began to breathe in and out slowly. The breathing was done a rhythmic pattern, which in turn synced with the best of his heart. One the inhales, he pulled his chakra out from his core as the chakra rushed slightly faster then before but as he exhaled, the flow returned to normal again.
Nakiri remains this why for several minutes keeping his chakra flow controlled at a specific speed and timing on his inhales and exhales , making sure no to extort too much when inhaling. The flow was pure and well balanced , allowing it to slightly burst as a if a tap of a pipe was opening with ewater gushing out rapidly but then slowly closed yet again.
His extremities felt quite exhausted at first due to the fact that he has not trained himself under this type of training for such a long time., but they began to follow suit and eventually his extremities showed small progress of adjusting to the push and pull force of his chakra flow

Nodding his head once more, Orochimaru would follow his teachers' instructions. This time, he would have to use his breathing as a guide. Breathing in to bring it towards his core, and out to divert it back.
He starts off slow, breathing in deeply. This would allow him to guide chakra from his extremeties to his core chakra spiral. Then out, relaxing his effort and causing it to flow back. Each breath at an interval, and each time, a bit more. The more Orochimaru focused on it, the more chakra he could obtain to bring to his core, and let it out once more. The flow would be stronger, then back to normal. Orochimaru now understood much more about chakra control than before.
Orochimaru kept exercising, staying in the meditated position with his eyes closed.

Good! Thats the basic skill of controlling your chakra. Now, try to release chakra only to cover your pinky finger and your toe. Using the same "control" you exerted to pulse your chakra in and out, will your chakra to coat both your pinky fingers and your toes.
Nakiri nodded, and with this he took his time once more. His body now adjusted to the slowly ever growing control of this chakra system. This being done, Nakiri flowed the chakra from his central and into his extremities once more, this time focused on his left pinky finger and toes on his left side. As he breaths , thand chakra flows in resonates as he gathered it slowly but as he exhales the chakra is flowed towards the designated locations
"Here I go..."
He said as he took one final breath and augmented his finger and toes at the same time using the chakra control to extert a small amount of chakra out from all the toes and his finger as an invisible layer of chakra is formed around them

This time it was more challenging, Orochimaru thought. Nonetheless, he would take on the challenge as he closed his eyes once more and became calm. He breathed in and out, first visualizing what he was going do, seeing the flow of chakra in his mind. Utilizing his previous skill, Orochimaru would breath in, drawing his chakra from his extremeties towards his pinky fingers and toes.
First try, he thought as he breathed out, letting his chakra go back to his extremeties. Once more, Orochimaru would breathe in slowly, drawing chakra from his extremeties slowly towards his pinky fingers and pinky toe. This would cover them in a chakra coating. Keeping it sustained was quite difficult, and upon reaching it, Orochimaru would breathe out, letting his chakra back to its extremeties.
"Intriquing.."
Good. Now you became aware of the 2 different skills comprising chakra control: restricting your chakra (or containing it) and releasing your chakra outside your body. Its the interaction of these two actions that pertain to chakra control. Restricting and containing a given portion of your chakra and being able to release it outside the body. The true test is to be able to retain that control while the chakra is outside your body.
The final step is to improve your skills and to fine tune your chakra control by mastering the act of releasing your chakra outside your body in a given way and amount and controlling it while its outside your body.
Now, you'll need to visualize essentially what can be described as a cold heat wave. You know how heat transfers in the atmosphere? like those ripples and distortions in the air when the ground is blazing hot? So, you need to visualize that effect but keeping your chakra cool. Once you achieve that, I need you to take the tiniest amount of chakra you can and release it from your left palm into a wave in front of you. Once you release it, you need to form a current. Your chakra will need to travel a given distance and return. Basically, its easier to control your chakra if its in motion.
*places a small sheet of chakra receptive paper in front of the students, 2meters away*
You'll manage the skill if the paper reacts but isn't destroyed.

Hearing the instructions made Nakiri a bit nervous as he has such a header task to do, however he wasn't about to back away from the challenge. Taking a a moment to sit and relax himself, he places his hand in the shape of the tiger seal. Formulating his chakra along his central core once more, he practices what he learnt earlier trying to accomplish a more perfected version of the exercise.
"Now then..."
He uttered under his breath as two shades of chakra coated both his index fingers and big toes, allowing himself to keep the chakra flow from hearing too much. As such Nakiri got up and combing the methods he learnt till now.
Placing his left Palm outwards, he closes his eyes and using the detailed information about the form of the "cold heated wave" Nakiri slowly channeled his chakra into his palm, while maintaining the control over it. Once the desired levels where meet, Nakiri released from his palms the chakra a wave. The wave was quite fast but still wasn't some, as Nakiri manipulated the wave to take the form of a current, as it passes through the air and towards the paper. Nakiri released himself as the chakra passes through the paper, thus causing it change color and without breaking or shredding. The chakra is then reverted and sent back towards him as he paitently watched and waited for his partner to do the same.
"-.- Damn it..."
Nakiri thought as the paper bursted into flames...yikes. With a shrug and a sigh, he repeated the motion but as he is channeling his chakra, he tries to keep the speed of the chakra under control. The chakra was rigidly moving about, but he calms it down, allowing the chakra to flow more paitently. As this happens, Nakiri with a wave of his left palm in a more gently fashion, released the chakra once more toward th the replaced paper.
As this chakra is released towards the paper, he controls the pacing of the chakra. Moving a tad slower then before, but fair more smoothly, Nakiri molded the chakra into a current as it flowed passed the chakra paper, making sure not to over do it...as this happens , the chakra flowed into the paper remaining intact and then returning back to him.
It was hard then he thougt, evident in the hard sweating Nakiri had coming down his face...

There was more to it, Orochimaru thought as he looked at what was placed before him. Now, he had control this carefully, or it could lead to failure. He now understood how to draw chakra from his extremities to a certain part of his body, previously being his pinky fingers and toes. Nonetheless, he was instructed to first visualize a cold heat wave. Orochimaru breathes in and out first, aiming to get himself ready for the task at hand. Orochimaru visualizes in his mind a ripple like effect across the air, but keep it cool as he releases. He once more breathes in, drawing a tiny amount of chakra from his extremities to his left hand, which is pointed towards the paper. This took a lot of his focus, as he visualized his chakra traveling like those ripples across towards the paper, in sort of a wave like form, yet still cold.
His eyes squinting as he now tried it out, he sends a small amount of chakra from his left hand forward in the form of a wave, yet gently as it remains cold. He keeps the visualization in his mind as he does this, and aims to make his chakra travel towards the paper, and then back. Orochimaru kept his composure throughout, aiming to get a reaction from the paper should the chakra interact with it. The paper would then react, as Orochimaru focuses to bring the wave of chakra back towards his palm. The entire task taking a lot of focus, and thus, Orochimaru kept quiet, not uttering a word or comment.

Good! You both mastered Medical Chakra control. If it ever comes to a situation where your handseal speed, your ability to draw techniques closely together or any other factor within the realm of chakra control, comes into scrutiny, your status as medical ninjas allow you to be a cut above the other ninjas. Doesn't allow breaking the time frame or anything but in arguments it might come in handy nowadays in our RP.
