Sephiroth Seeks a Trainer

[Typhon]

I feel as if my body is hardening as I meditate upon the earth. My chakra is feeling stronger and the connection with the ground below me is strengthening.

 

[Akiza]

4 more hours pass...

 

[Typhon]

I start to feel the individual grains of soil beneath me.

 

[Akiza]

4 more hours pass...

 

[Typhon]

It feels as if the earth is breathing below me.

 

[Akiza]

4 more hours pass...

 

[Typhon]

I can feel the heart beat of the earth. My heart beat is matching in rhythm.

 

[Akiza]

the final four hours pass...

alright then. tell me, what did you learn about the earth, your earth chakra, and the power of earth after your day of meditation on it?

 

[Typhon]

I learned that the earth itself has an energy, a life force. The rocks, the soil, everything. I was able to strengthen the bond between that energy and my own chakra. This chakra gives me the ability to control the element of earth with different varieties of jutsu. By meditating I was able to increase the strength of this "earth" chakra and understand its purpose of providing a solid defense and potent attacking ability.

 

[Akiza]

Alright then. Let's see how strong that bond really is. Place your hands on the ground and focus your chakra into the ground, please.

 

[Typhon]

I go down to one knee and close my eyes as I place the palms of my hands on the earth. I focus my chakra into the earth and try to make it rumble.

 

[Akiza]

Alright, now try taking a medium-sized chunk of earth out of the earth using your chakra you focused into the ground by using your hands.

 

[Typhon]

I again go down to one knee and place my palms on the earth. In order to take a chunk out I must make the chunk rise. To do this I must you my earth chakra to push a chunk up from underneath it.

I channel my chakra into the earth and focus it underneath a medium sized chunk. By concentrating the chakra into this spot I cause it to force the chunk upwards, separating it from the surrounding ground and pushing it out of the earth.

 

[Akiza]

Alright now try shaping the chunk into a shield using your chakra.

 

[Typhon]

I walk over to the chunk and place my hands on it. Its still warm from when it was submerged in the earth. I allow my chakra to flow into it and then by concentrating my chakra into different spots and move it around I'm able to cause the chunk to thin and grow taller while forming a semi-circle shield around myself.

How was that sensei?

 

[Akiza]

Very nice, now then condense it to make it hard enough to withstand a kunai attack, and then we'll test it. So condense with your chakra until you believe it is hard enough, but don't waste too much chakra on it...

 

[Typhon]

Standing behind the wall I place my hands on it and channel a reasonable amount of chakra into the earth. I spread the chakra throughout the wall and use it to condense the particles of the wall and increase its density. By increasing the internal pressure of the molecules the once soft earth becomes hard as rock.

 

[Akiza]

Alright, now to test it. *I throw several kunai at the shield, and what happens?*

 

[Typhon]

One kunai hits the wall and becomes lodged in the rock but two others slice through the earth, one cutting my right cheek just below my eye. I fall backwards with my hand covering the cut.

Damn......I must have unevenly dispersed my chakra into the rock. It left several soft spots. Let me try again.

I wipe away the blood from the shallow cut and approach the wall. I put my hands on it and once again let my chakra seep into the earth. This time I'm careful to evenly strength the rock and create a much stronger shield.

Okay Sensei, try again.

 

[Akiza]

I throw several kunai at the new shield, and what happens this time?
