O_O Hi there.
So how much have you learned about water so far? Have any other senseis taught you anything on water yet or are we starting from square one?
Water is the main ingredient in keeping us all alive. This element is sometimes called the defensive counter element since you can protect yourself with walls of water and extinguish one of the common used elements, Fire which is weak to water. Water is used in conjunction with lightning to electrocute and drown people, in conjunction with earth to make mud based traps, and wind to make water funnels that can cut and soak your opponent. This is also part of the element called rain and not to mention one of the few elements that can make clones and hide your own body. Water is weak against earth since the earth soaks up all water that is available and is too hard to penetrate usually. The state of mind for a ninja using this element is calm and in a fluid manner relaxed to the point of anticipating moves so your water can defend or counteract.
Excellent! ^_^ If you didn't copy and paste that, nice job.
Also, it allows us smooth attacks.
Alright, sit near the river over there and meditate. Focus only on water, nothing else. And meditate on it for as long as possible.
Alright, cool.
Let's try a few exersises. First, I want you to swim upstream, to the lake that this river ends at in the forest, and then back here in under... one minute. :|
Ready.... set... go.
*dives into the water and then swims upstream, I keep going till I hit the lake and I start swimming back and since the water is now down stream i swim a lot faster.*
*gets out and takes a breath*
I say it took me about 35 seconds to get to the lake and 20 seconds to get back since the current helped.

*looks at my watch*
More along the lines of.... two minutes and fifty seconds. :| Try again, use your water chakra to practically push the current back so that you don't have so much to resist against.
Argh my watch is always wrong!
*I focus my chakra while i'm diving in the stream and slow down the current so it's like a steady body of water around me making me hit the lake in no time and then I focus my chakra to push the water with me while i'm doing back to the starting point.*

Much better ^^. One minute exactly. Now, I want you to try something: change the current. I want you to change the direction the water is moving. Since there's a hill over there, it'll be pretty tough to make it run up the hill, and after you release your focus it'll go right back to running as it normally does.
Try changing the current the best way you know how.
Hmmmm well lets see....
*I focus my water chakra around me concentrating on the down hill pour of a stream. I then attempt to make the water flow up but to no avail.*
Hmmmm well then the way you described on doing it is in any way I can.
*I use*
(Doton No Jutsu) - Earth Style Technique
*To raise a few pillars of earth at the bottom of the stream down hill to make the water go up on it like its another hill. I then focus my chakra on the water going up and concentrate on the water to make the stream go upwards.*
^^ *I let go and make the water run back down and the water goes over my small pillars*
