Alright, sorry for the long wait and anticipation, but I've had a lot of applications that I needed to review and to sync with other applicants and training fields as well as some other stuff I had to take care of. Now that everything is done we can finally start the training. My name is McRazor and I will be your sensei, hopefully until the very last jutsu in this jutsulist.

 

[Jin]

Oh, thanks for accepting me Sensei. And no problem, i didn't have to wait at all.
I'm glad I'll be learning under your guidance.

 

[McRazor]

I'm glad I'll be learning under your guidance.

My pleasure. Now, before we start with the actual training I want to say a few things. First of all I have chosen to train you after seeing your other training threads and I'm hoping to have a quality training and to pass as much of my own knowledge onto you. For that, I need your full cooperation and I need you to read, think and ask questions. If you can do these things then I'm sure we'll both enjoy the training and it won't be mindless copy-pasting from the jutsu list.

I'll try to explain the core of each jutsu the very best I can and I will sometimes add some possible usages and anything I find interesting about the jutsu and in return I would like you to give me your opinion on the jutsu, how you would use it, how you would defend if it was used against you and so on. In essence, I want this training to be like a discussion instead of me telling you what to do and what not to.

Do you have any questions?

 

[Jin]

No Sensei. All clear, thanks. We're good to go

 

[McRazor]

No Sensei. All clear, thanks. We're good to go

Good. Let's start with some of the very basics. What can you tell me about ninja, chakra and ninjutsu? Please use your own words and tell me everything you think is necessary. I will not grade your response and it's ok if you miss some points. I'm here to add on and fix your mistakes, so no worries.

Ninja, known otherwise as Shinobis, are highly skilled individuals, who practice Ninjutsu and have the ability to manipulate chackra. They usually belong to the villages (hidden villages), in which they have to protect it in case the village is in danger. They are assigned missions and take a fee in return. There are other individuals who primary belonged to a village, but left it for different cases. They are called missing nins. There are also female ninjas called kunoichi. That's pretty much all i can remember about ninjas.

By giving shape to spiritual energy and physical energy, chakra is created. By channeling their chakra through they body (Ninjas) are able to transform and manipulate it, usually forming hand seals. Most ninjas have an affinity to a natural element(wind, earth, fire, water, lightening). There are also highly skilled ninjas who posses more than one affinity, and who can combine these elements to form a new one, which are called kekkei genkai. There is also a combination of 3 elements called kekkei tota.

Ninjutsu refers to all the techniques that a ninja can do. Ninjutsu needs chakra to be put in use, also the hand seals.As i explained before at what chakra is, ninjtusu is classified as basic and advanced, with basic being wind, fire, earth, lightening and water, and advanced being the combination of two or more elements. A ninja is based into two things when he creates ninjutsu : shape transformation and nature transformation. Shape transformation has to do with the shape(form) of the chakra and according to its size, strength also . Nature transformation has to do with changing chakra into an element.A ninjutsu can be created either using only shape or nature transformation, either combining both of them. It is hard to combine both nature and shape transformation. Most ninjas find it hard combing both. I hope i said all there is about Ninjutsu ...

Excellent! You covered most of the important stuff. Well done. Nature and shape manipulation are very important, as are handseals. You also mentioned both spiritual and physical energy which are the basis for our chakra. Here are my definitions of the terms and a few addons to your explanations.

Ninja

A ninja is someone who uses their full abilities in the service of his/hers beliefs, working to achieve a goal. This goal can be anything from peace to war, money, destruction, personal griefs or even revenge and can be shared with others or individual. Most ninjas are fighters and correspond to the bulk of the military force of the great nations. However, a ninja doesn't need to be a fighter. Even medics or a simple carpenter may, in times of need, use his abilities (medical knowledge or abilities in working with wood for example) to accomplish the goals he set to himself, following his beliefs.

Chakra

Chakra is the energy that is formed through the passive combination of both the Physical and the Spiritual energies in a sentient being (every living being with a conscious mind has chakra). Physical energy corresponds to the vitality of the body and its own energy. Spiritual energy corresponds to the mind or spirit, and comes from the awareness and "soul" of each sentient being.

Some ninjas have high levels of chakra because they have great physical energy (like the Akimichi or even Tsunade) and others because of their spiritual energy (like the Uchiha and the Yamanaka). However, its much more difficult to increase the spiritual energy than the physical one, thus why all ninjas pass through intensive physical workout.

Yin and Yang are based on this same concept. Yin is the basis of the spirit while Yang the basis of the body. In this i won't go into more dept because there are 2 things to consider: Yin/Yang manipulation in our RP is different from the manga one and both are more or less inacessible.

Chakra flows in a circulatory system inside your body, in a way that much resembles the blood circulation. This circulatory system has 8 small reservoirs that act as both storage but also chakra regulation. These are the eight inner gates. Along your circulatory system, small "portals" exist that enable you to expell chakra from your body. These are called Tenketsu and there are 361 of them scattered allong the body. When a tenketsu opens, chakra poors out of it. Its by molding the chakra that comes out of the tenketsu that you produce ninjutsu and genjutsu.

Ninjutsu

Ninjutsu, or Ninja Arts, is the ability to, through the use of chakra, accomplish tasks that would be otherwise impossible to do. Ninjutsu are done by 2 stepts: focusing your chakra and molding your chakra. Focusing is using your will power to "will" a portion of your chakra to do something. On the other hand, molding is giving your chakra a set of characteristics that will enable you to produce the desired end effect.

Think of the chakra flow as our breathing. Normally, it happens passively, without any conscious intervention. However, when you need to you can use your will to control it. Its the same with your chakra flow. Its happens normally without your consicious intervention. However, you can focus your chakra and make it produce something.

Now, molding the chakra is done by two basic principles: Shape Manipulation and Nature Transformation. These correspond to the two broad areas that one needs to change in the chakra to produce a jutsu. Shape manipulation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired form while Nature transformation pertains to the ability to give your chakra a desired set of characteristics/properties. Sometimes, to better mold chakra, ninja use Handseals. Handseals are simply hand gestures that allow the ninja to more easily concentrate and mold the chakra into the desired technique.

Thank you Sensei. Your definitions are awesome and I gladly learned more from them. I have a question to ask, if you don't mind. So, ninjas, by controlling and manipulating chakra, are able to walk on water right ?
So how is it possible, for Ninjas like Rock Lee walk on water ? I guess they can't control and manipulate chakra, right ?
Thanks Again

Yes, Lee can use chakra but he can't perform ninjutsu. This is a quote directly from his narutopedia page. "Though Rock Lee is a ninja unable to use ninjutsu externally, he is able to mould and use chakra, as shown when using his tree and water walking skills. He can also instead use his chakra internally to augment his taijutsu."

Now, since water is my favorite element and I love it so much, I want to share my experience with you and teach you every aspect about water that I can think of. I don't do this for other trainings so you can feel special.

Let's now focus solely on water and leave everything else behind. Even with everything I said, there is still so much about water that makes it what it is: a versatile and smart element. The main thing with water is understanding how it acts on its own accord, water will not merely cease to exist once a technique is over and it has a lasting effect on the terrain, regardless of where you are fighting. This is something that must be used to your advantage. One of the only situations where water will leave the battlefield is when it's evaporated by a much stronger fire technique. Other than that, it will always scatter around and lose its form and purpose but that doesn't mean you can't re-use it as a water source.

Another interesting thing about water is the ability to actually fight all elements without simply overpowering them. The way it moves and its liquid form must all be taken into account when using it. Although water is naturally weak to earth, it doesn't mean that a water technique can't be used against earth regardless of rank. For example, if the opponent uses a wave of earth and dirt that comes at you, you can use spit great amounts of water at high pressure to act as a lift off in order to raise yourself out of the trajectory of the earth. Regardless of the rank, you didn't use the water to overpower or even fight the earth technique. You simply used it to alter your position. That is another way in which the lasting effects of water will benefit you. Water techniques continue to work through the area around you whilst you build your next techniques, as long as there is water there is a danger and a sense of unknowing in the opponent.

Let's start with something simple but something that a lot of people pass on learning, understanding how water effects different terrain.

I'd like you to state the terrain/environmental factors in each of the five major nations (sunagakure, konohagakure, kirigakure, kumogakure and iwagakure), not just the surface of the ground, but the air around you as well. Then I'd like you to state how Water effects each of the landscapes.

 

[Jin]

Thank You Sensei for that, and for the detailed explanation.

So let's begin.

Sunagakure
Suna is a village in the middle of a desert ...
The temperature is very high and as far as I've seen, it doesn't rain at all.
There is a small variety of creatures, and the ones that live there are only creatures able to sruvive in extreme conditions. Supposing it has the same environmental factors as a real desert, during night, the temperature lowers, making it very cold. The air is drought and hot.There happen to be a lot of sandstorms.
Note: As stated in the anime, the village in located in an area with large rocks, resembling mountains, which surround and protect the village.
Water effects : Water wouldn't "last" for too long in the desert, since it's very hot and the water would easily evaporate. If salty water is used, then the water would evaporate and the salt would be left behind. The village also lacks running water.

Kirigakure
Since the village is located in the land of water(which is composed of many islands, which means they are surrounded by water), water is present everywhere. Most of the Shinobis are proficient with water techniques. Due to large water deposits, the air is also "mixed" with water, and so when the droplets of water are suspended in the air, mist is formed. The presence of mist in the village, indicates that here is a high concentration of water there, since the mist never disappears. Water effect was stated before.

Konohagakure
Konoha is a village located in a forest(supposedly by it's name), so it gains the properties and environmental factors a forest would have. The land is reach of water, trees and animals. The temperature varies, it's warm and fresh at summer, and cold at winter. The presence of the trees makes the air clean and fresh.
Water effects : The water is present at the village, since there are growing trees and active rivers. By it's effects, there is a waterfall created outside the village. Other than that, it doesn't affect the temperature or anything else.(According to me.)

Kumogakure
This village is literally "located" in the clouds, since it is built at the top of large rock, which "touch" the sky, and where clouds surround the village. At that height, the air pressure is high, and it makes breathing harder than in normal conditions. The permanent presence of clouds, means that there is an ocean(sea) nearby. Since lighting storms are present there, that maybe explains why most of the villagers are proficient in Lightning Release.
Water effects : As stated before, the presence of sea(water in this case), indicates why the presence of clouds also is permanent.

Iwagakure
Being located in rocky massive mountain ranges, the village itself is composed by rocks and stones. There are small running waterfalls. The temperature should be the same as a normal mountain temperature. But I must also state that, when the rock are heated, the heat spread by the rocks can be very high, but it is balanced by the temperature of the place(mountain), resulting in just a slight change of temperature.
Water effects : Water should be a necessity in this village, so the small waterfalls located there are very important, and since there is no fertile land, water is not needed for fertilizing, so it should be enough just to "quench" the thirst.

I hope that i included everything. =D

Hm, well you got the villages and their climates pretty much correctly however, what I meant by water effects is how would your water technique affect the terrain in a fight that is happening in that country. Here's my take.

Due to the high temperatures and the deserts, Sunagakure is a very arid place. So it will be harder to materialize water out of nowhere. However, due to the huge amount of sand it can be useful in a combination with your water attacks. Water jutsu in this terrain form wet sand; a heavy and relatively dense substance than can be used in conjunction with your earth jutsu. Explain your moves right and you can have earth jutsu which blind your opponent as the wet sand not only inflicts blunt damage but it breaks up on impact and can affect other senses. When sand is infused with water whilst in the air, the water becomes thicker and more damaging, the water also spreads the sand on impact again look to aim for the opponents senses.

Konoha and Kumogakure are somewhat similar. Konoha is mainly a huge forest while Kumogakure has forests but it revolves mostly on mountains. The water in these areas seeps into the earth and sets the grass and dirt, forming mud. Mud is usually slippery and can assist you against certain people extremely well. Water possesses an often over looked level of brute strength, a large amount of water can easily knock over and drag along a human being, flood/ tidal waves are actually the most catastrophic of the commonly occurring natural disasters. You can use this strength to push your opponent against trees or into traps that you laid earlier.

Kirigakure (and Amegakure) are mostly on water. Kirigakure is a complex of islands scattered around a huge sea while Amegakure is surrounded by lakes. Also, the heavy rain can also assist you here. Kirigakure being sea, obviously this gives you means to use your most powerful water techniques instantly as you have an already developed water source. Something that people tend to forget about water however is that although they don't all require a water source, they can all use one. There are a few techniques which state that the user begins by creating a water source, if you have a water source already, you can skip through this part of the technique, allowing youth utilise the jutsu quicker, starting from the second stage of the technique. Even if water jutsu don't state this, they will always happen quicker if used from a source.

True, it's similar to Sunagakure and there's not much water sources because it's a barren rocky landscape. However, the main difference is that the water won't drain so quickly. If the rocks are not vaporous then the water will always stay on the surface in the forms of puddles which you can then further use to your advantage. Remember also, rocks are loose pieces of the environment and can be picked up by water techniques to cut and pierce, thus adding damage to what would normally merely be blunt. In this same vein, water can carry Kunai, essentially hiding them inside streams as you spit. Questions?

Oh, I'm sorry Sensei, i didn't get the question right :'( My bad :dunno:
Thanks for the detailed explanation, it was a good learn.
And no, no questions so far.

Good, one last thing before we start with chakra manipulation and the techniques. You see, since there is shape manipulation of your chakra you can basically form all kinds of water techniques and those can generally be divided into a few groups.

Method 1: Basic Projectiles
Method 2: Streams/Water Sources
Method 3: Water Manipulation
Method 4: Alternative Releases (Water/Oil/Syrup)
Method 5: Specifics (Body Liquid)

Do you think you could tell me anything about these groups? Basically, I'd like to hear your opinion on how these work and what would be their advantages or disadvantages regarding to the other groups.

 

[Jin]

M1: I guess that basic projectiles are the basic direct water attacks, mainly with simple or no particular shape. The advantage is that the attacks can be very fast, but on the other hand they're also low-ranked attacks.
M2: This one uses water sources/streams to attack. If the user has a water source nearby, i guess that increases the chances in his advantage. I guess this is the best way for a water user , since the terrain is in his favor, but i can't think of any advantage, maybe the only advantage may come from excessive use of chakra, only if the attacks require a considerable amount of chakra.
M3: Hhmmm, i think that manipulation user can create water, shape and manipulate it. I don't know if this includes other sates of water, meaning gas or ice. Advantages are that you can basically "do whatever you want with water", meaning water is your toy. The disadvantage may be the time that water manipulation requires, so other groups may be faster.
M4: This may be the ability to control other liquids. I don't how the user is able to release oil since oil does not contain water and it doesn't mix with it. I guess the only way to do oil and syrup release is by having a partner(like the toads in Naruto), which can release oil and then you can use water to make the attack stronger. The advantage may be that the attack can be stronger, since oil and syrup are denser than water. The disadvantage may be that you need a partner to perform this kind of release.
M5: Specifics may refer to body fluids. We know that a high percentage of our body is composed of water. I guess that the user is able to manipulate blood, breast milk, saliva, tears, urine etc. I have actually never heard this technique to be used in narutoverse, only in The last airbender. Literally, by manipulating body liquids, the user has control over the victim, since he's able to manipulate his internals. The advantage is that you can paralyze the enemy and have him as your own puppet(IMO), and the disadvantage may be that it requires a huge amount of chakra and if the enemy is stronger, he can be released from the techniques, and it will result useless.

Hm, some of the points are good, but they're not really explaining the characteristics of the methods. One of the most important differences is the way they hinder you, the user. In short, projectiles are shaped and released from your body. Once done they are separate from you and move in their designated trajectory which allows you to focus on other techniques in the meantime. Streams are continuous and you can't perform other techniques as long as you're focusing on a stream. Manipulation allows you to manipulate an already existing water source which is the best method, because as you said, you can do whatever you want with it. Alternative releases do include flammable oil and syrup and those are achieved by special chakra manipulation. For syrup it's easy, you simply shape manipulate your chakra in order to make the water stickier and denser than regular water while flammable oils work similarly. Specifics refer mostly to techniques like mist and body of water.

If you want to read more about them here's a spoiler:

Method 1: Basic Projectiles

Alright 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 treavels 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. Now, 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, you will be exhaling them from the mouth. 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 lungs helps propel the water, and the mouth is the point of release. You use shape manipulation to then 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, has the capability to knock the wind out of them, bruise them, maybe break bones or damage the organs and cause shock. 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.

Advantages to Method

Techniques in this category are quick releases, designed to attack in short to long range scenarios against big single targets, with normal movement speed. Just like projectiles, once they leave your hand it frees you up to attack again with more projectiles or even other types of techniques. Techniques in this category allow for you to launch several shots in succession in most cases allowing you to barrage your opponents from several different angles possibly or use them as a distraction or ploy to force them in directions that would be beneficial to you. Large enough projectiles will make it difficult for your opponents to avoid, but not impossible. There can be issues with visibility, allowing you to block your opponent's vision while you plot a sneak attack. However visibility aspect is a double edged sword in most cases. You won't necessarily be able to see them unless you have sensory abilities. These techniques are better used in closer distances to disable both the ability to dodge and counter but also to make full use of the speed of these projectiles. The closer you are, the less time they have to hit the opponent.

Disadvantages to Method

Though quick in release, once projectiles are released you have no control over them. It's generally the same in every case with projectile based weaponry minus attachments like wire that allow you control. However in the case of chakra based projectiles like these, after exhaling exit from the point of release there is no real control over the projectiles. The direction you've launched is where it will go and it could be very easy to avoid them with basic techniques that could move you out of the line of fire, like Earth Release Technique or the popular hurricane fist into the air. There is the problem of the rapid fire projectiles. As said previously, as you're allowed to fire multiple shots from certain techniques, yet they don't all have the power of that particular rank, their collective power combined = the rank of the technique as a whole. What this means is, as you divide the projectiles into several shots, they considerably get weaker allowing for your opponent to exploit the weakness. Some techniques may converge at a single point (usually the target) so that they may not be able to avoid harm by just attacking individual shots, there is still that possibility. Those who try to cover a wider range with more projectiles will leave themselves at a disadvantage. The opponent can protect just their frontal or the area of where they're attacking by using weaker attacks protect against individually weaker fireballs or fire projectiles. Another big disadvantage is this method is that these techniques aren't very prone to combos with other techniques, especially those of other elements. The projectiles are generally so compressed and dense that they explode on contact, preventing them from melting or heating earth that could be used in a combo with them. The sheer concept of a projectile makes it less prone to be comboed with wind or lightning as the projectiles would require insane precision to be comboed with a wind or lightning technique. Projectiles aren't also very usable with water for the same reason as earth as the projectiles would simply "rupture" and not deliver its effect due to the small time in contact with the combo technique. The main disadvantages are that projectiles are fast yes, but less versatile in combat and for the most part, easy to defend (Credit to Scorps).

Method 2: Streams/Water Sources

This method involves creating constant streams of water as well as creating water sources. What I mean is, the techniques in this method continuously releases water and/or creates such a large mass of water, it provides a suitable water source for you to use other Suiton techniques that do need a source of water. Now what this would mean is, you have to constantly fuel the techniques with your chakra in order to keep the on pour of water coming out or else you will not be able to create the streams or the large masses of water. These techniques don't generally require a large amount of shape manipulation. Some techniques do however most are just you creating a mass of water or stream of water where you would, therefore, simply pour your chakra into the technique and create an unfocused wave of water that travels towards your destination. These techniques also provide you with a wider and, potentially longer, range of reach to your opponents. There is also the granted advantage of control over the technique. As opposed to projectiles, where you release them and their self-sustaining nature takes over and there is no further control from the users, most of these techniques allow for you to manipulate in different general directions to allow you to hit your target even if they move out of the immediate range.

Advantages to Method

As stated, these techniques give one a greater range of control over the technique seeing as the user will be constantly pouring their chakra into a continuous stream. As the technique is being released it can change the original path you have and make it go other places in the event your opponent tries to avoid it or blocking it with an obstruction. Another major advantage is the fact that some of these techniques are capable of creating water sources. With a large enough technique from this method creating a water source it opens up several more techniques in the element that requires a water source. This, of course, only applies when there isn’t any water already available to you.

Disadvantages to Method

The biggest disadvantage to this method is that, like all streams, these techniques prevent you from using another technique while this technique is currently active. The reason is, these techniques require you to constantly fuel them with chakra and thereby drawing your focus into them for the duration of the technique. If somebody goes for a different angle which requires you to defend, you’ll likely have to end the technique pre-maturely.

Method 3: Water Manipulation

Alright, so we've covered techniques that come from one's own body, creating projectiles, streams and even our own water sources. Now we're onto techniques that require the usage of an existing source of water. This method focuses on using water from a water source and manipulating it to form the techniques we want. When going about using these techniques, you expel the chakra from your body into the water source as opposed to the previous methods where you'd manifest the chakra itself into water. There are a few exceptions I believe, within this method, however most of these techniques require a water source in order for you to use them. Now, the properties of these techniques vary. There may be projectile type techniques or continuous techniques that require you to constantly focus chakra in order to use. In essence, these techniques may exhibit qualities of water techniques in previous methods but the unique thing about this method would be that you'd need a water source for these.

Advantages of Method

I pretty much already explained this one.

Disadvantages of Method

The main disadvantage to this method is the fact that these techniques require a water source in order for you to use. Unlike the last method where you are capable of manifesting large masses of water out of nowhere and even creating a water source, these techniques require a medium that is outside your constant realm of access. In battles where you do not have the pre-existing source of water you become incapable of using these techniques or become forced to set yourself up with a technique that provides you a water source.

Method 4: Alternative Releases (Water/Oil/Syrup)

This method will be easy. Basically these are techniques that create a different substance than the water, however, they still fall within the category of Suiton release. They are liquids that possess different properties than ordinary water, for example: Oil and syrup. Oil is a flammable substance, one wouldn't use this to combat fire but rather fuel it, and with syrup you create a much stickier viscosity of liquid that doesn't necessarily flow as fast as water but it gives a more adhesive property to it.

Advantages to Method

They don’t follow the traditional rules for suiton techniques meaning the techniques have a fairly new set of rules that govern them. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. It is an advantage as you become capable of using these techniques in situations where you may not normally be able to because of an elemental weakness or some other occurrence.

Disadvantage of Method

As said above, the fact that these techniques don’t follow traditional suiton rules also comes as a disadvantage. Though you may be able to use these techniques in situations where you normally couldn’t at the same time you may become vulnerable in another situation where you weren’t previously with other water techniques. For example; you wouldn’t use an oil rain technique when your opponent is spewing a fire at you. Oil augments fire and even though it’s still “water release” it is a disadvantage.

Method 5: Specifics

Basically, these are techniques that don’t fall within the above listed categories. These techniques may possess similar qualities to the techniques in some of the other methods, however, for the most part they are more unique in their abilities and aren’t classifiable in this system together in other methods

Advantages of Method

Advantages are dependent on the individual technique

[Jin]

Hm, some of the points are good, but they're not really explaining the characteristics of the methods. One of the most important differences is the way they hinder you, the user. In short, projectiles are shaped and released from your body. Once done they are separate from you and move in their designated trajectory which allows you to focus on other techniques in the meantime. Streams are continuous and you can't perform other techniques as long as you're focusing on a stream. Manipulation allows you to manipulate an already existing water source which is the best method, because as you said, you can do whatever you want with it. Alternative releases do include flammable oil and syrup and those are achieved by special chakra manipulation.

All clear Sensei.
Good to go. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

All clear Sensei.
Good to go. Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Alright then, now it's the time to put everything you've read (and learned) to use. So, to create water techniques you need water chakra and for that you need to awake it first. See this? Shows chakra paper. This paper reacts to chakra natures and this will help us determine wether or not you're able to awake your water nature. If you succeed the paper will become wet, while in between your palms. I'm sure you've seen how Naruto did it. I suggest you take a comfortable position and start explaining eveyrthing that's happening while you're concentrating.

 

[Jin]

I carefully take the paper and put it in between my palm.
Thinks* "So, what i have to do is concentrate first, and run my chakra through this paper ..."
While concentrating hard, i carefully start to send my chakra to my palms.
When the chakra is almost at my palms, I quickly run my chakra through the chakra paper.
As i open my palms i can see my hands have become wet, and the paper also.
"The paper became wet Sensei, did I do any good ?"

Sorry for the bit of reduced activity this week, I was rather busy.

Nothing happens and the paper stays untouched.

Yeah, that's not gonna cut it. I'll need you to go back to the beginning of the training, pay close attention to the bolded or italicized words that are important and then make a foundation using them. Then add a story in between to connect them properly and finally deliver the whole product. xD

What I'm saying is, you'll have to be a bit more detailed. We're awakening your chakra here and you can't simply jump to channeling it into your palms without ever mentioning how you create it, etc.

 

[Jin]

"I thought it wasn't needed." :vincent:

"I hold the piece of chakra paper in between both of my palms and begin to concentrate and search deep for my water chakra. I start to think about water, crashing waves, flowing rivers and babbling brooks, about all I can think of water. This helped as I started to feel my water chakra flowing inside of me. Then I start channeling my water chakra into both of my hands and most importantly into the paper. To help me concentrate more, I imagine as if I put my hands in a place filled with water, I imagine the rushing waves of it and the noise they make. In the meanwhile, i start feeling something in my hands, as if a a water balloon exploded in my palms. When i open my palms, i can see the paper was wet, and thought I had accomplished the task given by my Sensei."
