[Suiton] The Journey of a PS and his Sensei

[Panthalassa]

Though Panthalassa was terribly excited with the news, he couldn't help but blame himself for his own shortcomings. He had actually gotten a letter from a Sensei that took an interest in him, and offered him the position of his own personal student. The only problem was that they had only heard of each other through others, and never met personally. It was an amazing opportunity, and Panthalassa couldn't help but to accept. But would he like him? Of course Pantha thought highly of himself, but, deep down, he had the same self doubt as any other.

Of course, there was that problem, and the fact that his Sensei was from Iwa, all the way across the ocean, at the far side of the large continent. Basically, half way around the world. How in the world would they meet? Pantha's travelling allowance was severely restricted, so it's unlikely he'd be able to travel far. So most likely L-Sensei would have to come himself. But Pantha didn't even have the reasonable idea of discussing that with him in letter, he just excitedly accepted.

Great planning, Admiral Panthalassa.

He sat on the piers of Port Royal, looking outwards to the West, head sunk into his knees.

 

[Detective L]

Dean Winchester, the Nekura, decided after several years of being a teacher, that he wanted to leave behind a legacy. Throughout the Ninja World, there was a lot of potential. New shinobi who would become powerful one day, or well known. Nonetheless, Dean searched through various areas, and actually came across a name when he was in a tavern. According to the men in the tavern, this guy was known as Panthalassa. An odd name indeed, but it was said that he was aiming to become a great shinobi with a specific skills set, dedicating his time to learning more about his clan, the Aburame.

This intrigued Dean quite a bit, as he remembered that he had almost the same dream back then, until he became a Nekura of course. The rest is history. He sent a letter with a messenger bird to this man, he wanted to meet him personally. He was situated in The Bloody Mist Village. A village where Dean also spent some time before. Though, at that time, Akastuki was controlling it. Now it was Lancer who the Mizukage. A guy who rose to fame about the same time as Dean... The Mizukage wasn't an issue at the moment though, as Dean put on his cloak and got his bag on his back to go find Panthalassa.

"Here we go..."

Dean utilized his Mark of The Demon on his right hand, and as he does so, an eerie dark portal opens up. This allows Dean to travel through it to where Panthalassa is (this is for RP purposes only, and only in training grounds xD ). As he arrives, the young man sits at the pier. The misty pier was quite cold, but luckily Dean had a jacket on. With a stern voice, Dean spoke:

"Panthalassa?"

He simply waited for the young man to answer, he had to make sure this wasn't some random guy >,>'

 

[Panthalassa]

As the deep voice emerged from behind him, Panthalassa was startled, turning around quickly with wide eyes and a fast beating heart. In that sudden motion, his ass slipped through the wet pier and, out of balance, he slid down the wooden platform and fell on the water. His bugs, though, formed as if a clone of himself, as they all left his body and stood on top of the pier, not to get wet. Panthalassa was always distracted, the bugs knew not to make the same mistake, or else there wouldn't be many of them left.

They waited patiently as one hand emerged from the side of the dock and gripped the planks, then another, and then a soaking and dripping Panthalassa rose onto the board. Pushing himself up to the shoulders, so he would be able to look to the man in front of him, though still not completely up over the board (in case he needed to make a quick escape, yeah, now your defence systems kick in, too late buddy).

Yeah... 'sup?

He said, nonchalantly, as if he didn't just embarrassingly fell on the water. So cool.

 

[Detective L]

Dean saw Panthalassa almost fall down the pier. He seemed to be quite clumsy, or was he? His bugs seemed to have saved him. He was quite good with them. The Aburame were always weird quiet people. This guy seemed to be the same. Or maybe this was just a farce? Dean couldn't say yet.. Nonetheless, it was time for them to start. Dean wanted to know more about him though, and as such, Dean looked at him with a stern face.

"Hopefully you received the letter I sent. I will be teaching you what I know, in exchange for your ability to show me what you can do on your own. I don't have that much to give, but it will surely help you on your path to become a great ninja. Tell me a bit about yourself and also tell me your goals as a ninja. After that, tell me what we will begin with."

Dean then crossed his arms, and waited for his student to speak. What he was about to say was going to be important.

 

[Panthalassa]

Panthalassa would have face-palmed right there and then, were he not holding onto the pier. The man in front of him was Dean-Sensei. Figures, he'd have to embarrass himself in front of every sensei he met, so why not in front of the person that offered him to be his own personal student.

Of course... allow me to just...

And he pulled himself over the pierce, drenching the wood with water from his dripping clothes. Shaking his hair to get rid of the excess water he quickly ran his hand over it to help it regain at least some of the original styling. Sitting crossed legged on the edge of the pier, he took off the sunglasses, they were wet anyway, and looked up towards his sensei.

I am Admiral Aburame Panthalassa!

He declared with an happy grin, from ear to ear, sticking his thumb on his chest. Then he remembered he was really serious, and wanted to be taken serious, so he coughed a bit and then put on his most convincing serious expression.

I want to make myself know as the best Aburame in the world, nay, the best shinobi! My dream is to collect all sorts of interesting insects and techniques, and fully explore my clan's legacy. I just want to make my... clan, proud. Just want everyone to notice me. The great Aburame Admiral!

He felt like grinning again, but caught himself and didn't, he had to be serious. But, deep down, it wouldn't have been a very honest smile anyway. The corners of his mouth tipped down a bit, but that would be completely perceptible, wouldn't it?

 

[Detective L]

Dean was impressed with his answer. The best Aburame he says. No one has yet claimed that title in the Ninja World today, however, there were some powerful Aburame back in the day. Dean thought to himself, he'd be able to help this guy, this Aburame achieve his dream. Leave behind a legacy, a student who bears all his gifts. He seemed to be promising, but was he all show? Dean was going to find out soon.

"Alright, the best Aburame. A great goal, you'll achieve it with dedication and sheer will. This is only possible if you can make a name for yourself, right? For that you need some basic skills."

Dean then remembered, that he didn't really introduce himself. He grinned, and looked at Panthalassa.

"Seems I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dean Winchester of the Nekura. A clan feared by many, and those who meet them, never live to tell the tale. You are a special case though. My dream was to be a powerful shinobi, and although I have somewhat achieved that, I still have a far way to go. Now tell me, what should we start with? An element? Or Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu?"

Dean then looked at Panthalassa with some expectation in his eyes.

 

[Panthalassa]

Regardless of his first impression of him, the extraordinary shinobi standing in front of him seemed amused, even intrigued by Pantha. The initial embarrassment seemed all but forgotten. Encouraged, Panthalassa stood up straight and met his sensei with the same vivacity and excitement as the man showed him, though his mind seemed to fly of on a tangent as soon as he opened his mouth.

Okay! Before I graduated I was taught basic Ninjutsu, though I never went past the E ranks in order to take the Ninja Academy test to become a Genin. During that time, though, I met this one guy, with a really long hair and a sort of bum smell that taught me Summoning Ninjutsu. That was fun, recently I managed to discover a few flies that were able to talk and they told me all about how they like to eat meat and they're great at parties, and live in a place called Zaebub. I asked them to sign a contract with me, and they took some of my blood, telling me I should visit them soon, they'd throw a really nice feast with me. I think they meant for me, but I wasn't too picky with their english. They were flies afterall, it was amazing they even had any sort of speech in the first place.

Panthalassa chuckled to himself, thinking how silly the flies were as they took some of his blood. It almost looked they were salivating.

Fun guys. Fun culture too, they greet people by sneaking up on them and biting their shoulder. That's what they told me. Also most of their compliments were about how tender my flesh looked, and how I should get some weight. Real silly. I'm planning on visiting them soon! Anyway, what was I saying?

Ah yes! Then I searched around and was able to get some scrolls with Aburame techniques. I'm learning from the scrolls and there's a really old librarian in Kiri that is helping me learn my clan's craft, but this is proving to be quite an hefty task. But I'm loving it. Nathan-Sensei also comes by from time to time to further my basic Ninjutsu training. I think all that I'm lacking is how to control my primary element, which I believe is water, though the guy that told me that left all of a sudden and didn't actually start my training. After that I would like to learn Kenjutsu, I would really like to use a scythe. Don't know why, it just seems really cool.

Despite talking for so long, Panthalassa didn't even seem to notice that he might be boring his sensei to death. He was positively grinning.

I don't know what I'd like to learn after that. I don't even know if I want to learn more, it already seems like a lot to explore and I'd rather just focus on a few things and pump them to the max. I heard most people in this land have more than one element, and a lot of skills up their sleeve, but it feels refreshing to just stick to your guns and see if you can compete. To be honest, it seems like a bigger and more interesting challenge. But I really don't know. Other than a few spars with some of my friends from Kiri, I don't really have any real world experience.

Panthalassa then shut for a bit... trying to think if he had anything else to add. Deciding "not really", he finished his speech.

So I guess Water?

 

[Detective L]

Dean listened to Panthalassa, he was such an eager guy. He had been through a lot already, it seemed. Dean smirked as he heard him talk about Castiel, it seemed he was quite the teacher these days.

"It seems you have been through a lot, I also have a weird contract, Box Jellyfishes. Odd fact, I actually had to meet the Sage of Deceit as she is the owner of the contract. A really sly woman, I bet you heard about her adventures before, considering the fact that you are from Kiri. Anyway, it's great to see that you have a contract of your own too.

Anyway, you have a set of abilities you want to master to the max? Cool with me. So you say we'll start with Water? One of my favorite elements to be honest. The element I took the longest to finish, but I grew to love it because of its versatility and power. It's a great element, and I think you'll be able to defend yourself well enough if you have it mastered. Now, since we are already at a lake, it makes the training session easier. For each element, we'll do a bit of travelling. For this one, we'll just start off here."

Dean squints his eyes, as he looks for an open plain close to the water. He points in the direction of the spot that seemed best for it.

"There, let's walk... And whilst we walk, I want you to tell me, what do you know about the Water element (this includes a general description, strengths and weaknesses)? Why do you want to learn it first?"

Dean looks at Panthalassa as they walk towards the clearing.

 

[Panthalassa]

Panthalassa strained his head and tried to remember what he learnt from the Ninja Academy, plus what he had already said to the other person that was going to teach him.

Okay so chakra is the combination of our physical energy, which is, I believe, our stamina, and our spiritual energy. With it you can do all sorts of things, and is the basis for the skill that is known as Ninjutsu. One category of that skill is Elemental Ninjutsu, where, after you mold your chakra, you convert it into one of the basic natures, them being Fire, Earth, Wind... Lightning... and... hum...

Panthalassa scratched the back of his hair and then looked at the mist all around, and the ocean water just besides them.

Yeah, duh, Water. Okay so, by giving this elemental nature to the chakra, you are able to control the environment around you and produce your own elements. Each element is strong against one other, weak against another and neutral to the rest. Water is strong against fire, because it smothers it and cools it down, it's also resilient to temperature changes, as it requires quite a lot of energy for it to change even 1ºC. On the other hand, it's flexible and free-flowing, so it can easily be stopped and conducted by Earth, which is it's elemental weakness, and the most tangible element.

When they reached the clearing his sensei pointed to, a very nice flat-rock beach semi-isolated from the chaotic merchant port, Panthalassa was really trying hard to remember what else he had learnt about water.

Water Nature represent flexibility, coolness, temperature wise, I mean. It's also cool, as in... style wise, but I meant temperature. What was I saying? Ah yes, and it has a very close relation with chakra. Water can be manipulated as it's most basic form, which is basically the translucent mineralized water that conducts electricity, or it can be manipulated as a combustible black/brown oil, a sticky adhesive syrup or as a chakra-absorbent liquid.

Now that all the technical aspects of it, Panthalassa thought.

I didn't exactly chose water, my previous sensei gave me a thin piece of paper and when I focused my chakra through it it became soaked in water. But I was glad that my first nature affinity is Water. it's a very versatile element, and it is the element of my home village. Most techniques in Kiri require Water, and it's the most abundant element in the country. It's only natural. Besides, I've been doing some experiment with the Flies and my insects, and I'm getting very positive results, water is perfect to steady and increase the flies' manoeuvrability and swarm density, and water's chakra draining properties allows me to enhance their already inherent skill of sucking chakra. I plan on reaching a new breed of flies very soon!

Panthalassa was beaming at his sensei, forgetting he is a very serious person and should have a very serious expression on his face, not a stupid wide grin.

 

[Detective L]

His points made sense, of course. Dean already expected Panthalassa, the person he chose to be his student, to be well versed in the theoretical aspects of the elements. However, the practical aspect, that's where Dean came in. He was going to teach Panthalassa everything he knew about Water, and later, all the other things. Without a doubt, he was glad his student knew a lot already. Finally arriving at the clearing, Dean stretched his arms and looked around. There was no one else around, making it a great place to train. Dean looked at Panthalassa with a smile on his face, and said;

You must be registered for see images

"Let's begin. The Water element, is all about flow and control. Being the one that controls the water, but still allowing it to flow like a peaceful river. A powerful element, that comes in the form of various techniques, ranging from normal water based attacks, shape manipulation to create water beasts and dragons to sticky water and rain that allows you to sense people. Strong against Fire, and weak against Earth, it's a simple element, but one that has various combinations. Let me cover a few:

When Water and Fire interact, it usually leaves behind a dense steam, due to the rapid interaction between the two, and basic physics. This can be used to your advantage if you ever defend against a powerful Fire attack, the steam allows you to attack the opponent, or use a stealth based move. Always take into account the enviroment when you are fighting.

Water can be combined with Lightning, to create a shocking combo (pun intended), and also allows you to plan ahead in a scenario where you force your opponent into a spot where he has to use Lightning, but you use a Water technique on him, causing him to shock himself. Always nice to see a planned attack go as you thought it would. Thus, don't clad yourself in water or submerge underwater if you know your opponent can use Lightning, always think ahead. Wind is capable of pushing Water away, so their interaction is simple, and Earth due to its sturdiness, simply blocks it.

Now, as you said, you already know you have the affinity for water, so we'll skip the chakra paper part. That brings me to what I wanted to know. Do you understand how elemental rank interactions work? Like, if an A rank Water hits a B rank Earth, what happens etc?"

Dean had just said a mouthful, but he decided he was going to be thorough, more than he has ever been with any other student.

 

[Panthalassa]

Panthalassa listened with great admiration. it was very interesting to think of how each element interacted with each other. When his sensei finished, he continued.

And water can be conducted by Earth, or, the other way around, it can pick up earthen debris, or just general rubbish, and push it around. As you said, water is powerful, and even though it suffers from it's weakness with earth, it doesn't mean it can't be used to our advantage sometimes! In fact, I like the idea of using water to start pushing people and stuff around, maybe into traps or, better yet, into water sources. I manipulate water, so getting them surrounded my element sounds like a great plan!

He started to wonder the possibilities. Water sounded really nice.

I don't think I have any questions about the technical aspect of chakra interactions. I have to pay a lot of attention to that, being an Aburame. We are basically weak against everything, so I know I always have to use more chakra or superior ranks to get my techniques through.

 

[Detective L]

Dean smile widened as Panthalassa said he didn't have any queries about elemental interactions, which means they could go on. A part that was very crucial in learning how to battle, understanding interaction and ranks, could make you a great fighter without needing a lot of skills. As its said, an expert with a rock, can beat a novice with a shuriken.

"Alright! That's great, and yes, Water can indeed be able to transport softer dirt materials and be used to cause the effect of abrasion on softer rock, if it is pressurized enough. Now, let us begin with the official training then!

Being a sensei, I have a method of training my students. This method is simple, and most of students enjoy the approach I take with them. You being my personal student, I'll be going through the techniques with more precision and also be more thorough. Now I want you to tell me, which of the two approaches you'd want?

First approach: I'll be giving you the technique with a description of how it is performed, including hand seals and such. Then I want you to tell me how you use it against a clone of mine, give me at least 2 advantages and disadvantages of the technique, and how you would sue it in battle. If you have questions, you can ask (all in RP fashion of course).

Second approach: We make it more discussion based. I'll give you a thorough description of the technique, and you analyse it to the fullest of your abilities, and ask questions about it.

Basically both have almost the same outcome, one is just more free and the other more structured.

What do you think, Panthalassa?"

Dean waits for Panthalassa to answer him, as this would be the method they use through out their training.

 

[Panthalassa]

I believe the second approach would suit me better. It doesn't mean we can't go by performing the techniques every now and then, but I like the discussion more than the mechanization of always having to repeat the technique and give you x advantages and disadvantages.

And, if I may add, how will we do this training? Jutsu by jutsu? From what I've read, there are quite a lot of repeated techniques, which only change a few cosmetic details and the rank. I wonder if we can group the techniques and discuss them as batches, rather than each individually. I'm sure the discussion of many of them would pretty much be repeated, and we can always do a break and analyse any particular technique more deeply, if it's relatively more complex or controversial.

What do you think?

 

[Detective L]

An interesting suggestion from his student. A method Dean wasn't very familiar with, but he was going to try it out anyway. Dean smirks, a challenge was nothing for him, especially not concerning training. Dean folded his arms as he looked at Panthalassa.

"Alright, let us begin with this "method" training. A system created by none other than three Sages of the NW, the Sage of Deceit, the Sage of the Illusionary Touch and the Sage of Yin. After receiving some assistance from the Sage of Yin, I have the knowledge to do training with this style. Now the Water element is is seperated into different sections, five of them to be exact."

Dean rips out a massive scroll, one that contained a large amount of information. This would help him teach his personal student the way of the water element. Dean opened the scroll, with a serious look on his face, and shows it to Panthalassa. The first part was highlighted;

水遁
Suiton

Method 1: Basic Projectiles
Method 2: Streams/Water Sources
Method 3: Water Manipulation
Method 4: Alternative Releases
Method 5: Specifics

"So based on this, we'll be starting with Method 1, where we'll be going through the type of techniques that fall under Basic Projectiles, their advantages and disadvantages. Talk to me, what can you get from the name, Basic Projectiles? What do you think it means? How is it advantageous and disadvantageous in battle. Discussion type answer will suffice."

Dean smiles as he tells Panthalassa. Dean himself was still new to the type of training, but he also liked the way it was structured.

Dean smiles as he tells Panthalassa. Dean himself was still new to the type of training, but he also liked the way it was structured.

You want me to guess? I am not sure I fully understand the divisions... Can you get me a quick summary of each method? If you do want me to guess, I'm thinking of like shape manipulation into simple objects, like kunai and blades and etc. I'm guessing it's the most basic manipulation of the water element. It makes me think of stuff you can do very fast and then throw towards your opponent, without wasting much time on creating complex structures and attacks... So I guess the advantage would be fast withdraw and short genesis-effect delay, while disadvantage would be the fact they wouldn't be much better than throwing objects, with a very linear path and not much of a versatility in terms of uses and complexity.

 

[Detective L]

His answer was spot on, although he had to guess a little bit. Dean simply smiled, and decided to add on more, as he knew his question was a bit vague to say the least. He looks at Panthalassa as he makes it more clear.

"You're on the right path there! Anyway, let me make it clearer. You were right, projectiles can be described as any object launched towards your opponent. These aren't limited to weapons like shuriken and kunai though, as can be seen in Water release. Now, I like the fact that you mentioned Shape Manipulation, which is a major aspect in Projectiles. Why is it so, you might wonder. Simple, Water by itself is very unfocused and not sturdy at all. A projectile, on the other hand, is straight, sharp and moves towards the opponent or intended target with precision. So shape manipulation is used to form said water into forms like a ball or even animal forms (commonly sharks and dragons) through compression and focus. These are then used to inflict either blunt damage or piercing damage. Most projectiles are released from the mouth towards the opponent, though not limited to it. Here is an excerpt from the Sage of Yin:"

Dean shows Panthalassa a part of the scroll containing the information.

These techniques involve creating projectiles like shuriken or kunai. Shuriken and Kunai are examples of projectiles and are not limited to that scope. When you hear and think of projectiles, you think of objects that you launch or project towards your opponent. They're something that leaves your possession and travels towards your opponent. There is nothing different when it comes to suiton projectiles. All you're doing is launching water at your opponent as you would any other projectile. With water and any other element that uses projectiles you tend to use a lot of shape manipulation. Reason is, is because you need to make the projectiles strong enough damage your opponent (pierce them, knock them back with blunt force, etc). Water or any other element at its base is just raw unformed element. By using shape manipulation you form the shape of the projectile you want. As well, you also compress the element to a degree which allows for a certain density which is always good. With these water projectiles, most of the time you will be exhaling them from the mouth (exceptions may exist). You will first inhale and focus the chakra from your core and channel it up into your lungs and mouth. You will then exhale; the chakra you gathered in your mouth helps propel the water, and the mouth is the point of release. You use shape manipulation to form the water into whatever shape you need it to be, whether it be a ball or something more advanced like a shark. The water is also compressed in a tight container (the boundaries you create by shaping it) therefore when it makes impact with the target they'll generally receive a blunt impact that knocks them back and suffer damage as a result. Also, if fast enough and small enough, the density from the tightly compressed nature and the speed may be able to pierce like a bullet. Using other mediums of release for projectiles, you would simply channel your chakra into a different location and then follow the rest of the procedures of releasing the water, and shaping it for the desired effect.

"Now that you have a clearer view of it, what would you say are the advantages to it, and disadvantages?"

PS: Just expand a bit more on what you already wrote ^^.

 

[Panthalassa]

His answer was spot on, although he had to guess a little bit. Dean simply smiled, and decided to add on more, as he knew his question was a bit vague to say the least. He looks at Panthalassa as he makes it more clear.

"You're on the right path there! Anyway, let me make it clearer. You were right, projectiles can be described as any object launched towards your opponent.

Dean shows Panthalassa a part of the scroll containing the information.



"Now that you have a clearer view of it, what would you say are the advantages to it, and disadvantages?"

PS: Just expand a bit more on what you already wrote ^^.

Panthalassa sits back, cross-legged, on the floor of the clearing, reading the scroll handed to him by his sensei. The reading was very informative. The grin never left his face.

It says here that most water jutsu come from your mouth and lungs. I can see it forming water particles on your mouth from the conversion of chakra, and then shoot out the water technique, but I'm not sure the same particles in the lungs would be wise... I always figured the main area of chakra-water conversion in your body would be the water and gullet. But I understand this method. Specially since the second method is called "Streams". I maintain the answer that the advantages of this style are speed of formation and simplicity of the water creation. Streams I'd say is something more continuous, and would leave you vulnerable to attacks for longer than a projectile. The disadvantage, as I said, would be that the projectiles follow a linear path, meaning they're predictable and easy to counter.

 

[Detective L]

He sets out his take on the method and its advantages and disadvantages. It was good, however, Dean could still expand upon it. Dean nods his head in agreement, as he takes the scroll once more.

"Good job, that's exactly it. I can add a bit more to it. The advantages to projectiles is that they are precise and straight to the point. They deal damage to a single point, or can be released over an expansive range, based on the technique (they would also half in power, the more are released). A projectiles doesn't need constant chakra to be fed to the technique like streams. If a technique requires constant chakra input, then another technique cannot be performed while you are performing one. With projectiles, you can release one, and immediately afterwards, perform another technique. Once it has left your possession, it takes on an entity on it's own, focused and to the target. They can also be launched from far away, which is a plus.

Now this breeds disadvantages. Obstacles can be a problem, and a large projectile technique can block your view from your opponent. Other than that, it is the fact that they travel in straight lines. Imagine if your opponent is faster than you, and you launch a projectiles towards him, once it has left your possession, it is not under your control any more. It follows a linear path, making it far easier to dodge. Also, the more the projectiles of a technique, the more it divides in rank, making it weaker."

Dean then puts the scroll in his bag, and takes out another. One that contained the techniques of Water release.

"Now, any more questions on it before we go on?"

 

[Panthalassa]

Nope! All clear.

 

[Detective L]

Dean was glad to hear that Panthalassa understood it all, and as such, he threw the scroll that contained all the techniques of Water release.

"Alright, now based on the knowledge of what Projectiles based Water techniques are, could you check the jutsu that fall under that, from D rank to S rank, and list them all for me (in a spoiler)? Once you have listed them, we will move on with a few techniques at a time, analysing and discussing."
