Sachio awoke early in the morning while the sun was still rising in the Kazan clan compound in Kumogakure. A mesh ninja shirt and his normal ninja pants were slipped on after he took off his sleeping clothes. Rubbing his eyes sleepily he walked out of his home into the yard to begin his training. No shoes were needed yet, for he would simply be warming up. A woodcutting axe hoisted safely over his shoulder, still in a tired daze he walked over to the chopping block. Grabbing from the large pile of firewood next to the chopping block, he used a single hand to set an appropriate sized piece of wood on the designated area.
Rubbing his eyes and focusing his vision on his mark, he gripped the axe handle with both hands and slammed it down onto the block of wood. Splitting straight down the middle, the two pieces of wood flew off a small distance to the sides of the chopping block missing Sachio of course. Setting another block of wood, he would repeat this cycle until the whole pile of wood was cut down into halves. Carrying as many as he could in one trip under both arms, he walked to the furnace room of his old school traditional styled home. The sun had yet to break the tall mountains of the Lightning Country, but the shine it created was still visible from beyond the black triangular silhouettes. The wood cutter's axe was left behind of course driven in the chopping block.
After a couple of trips all the wood was gathered in the furnace room and Sachio sat in a meditative stance and began his berthing exercises. His chakra being molded and imbued with his unique Yoton element, he focused his sights on the furnace in front of him. Made out of a special metal that was made lava resistant and also with and opening in the bottom especially for magma channeling, Sachio formed the Snake hand seal and successfully lava filled the uniquely crafted furnace like a pot of stew.
Jutsu Learned:
Name: Geyser Rank: D-Rank Type: Ninjutsu Used For: All Element: Yoton Range: 5m Duration: Instant Hand Seals/Charge up: Snake or jump and tap heels together. Example of Handseal variant: Description: This jutsu simply spawns a geyser or spout of lava from beneath the users feet, to place them 5m high in the air. This can also be used immediately around the users person. The geyser spout is about 2m in diameter. During the next user post if not utilized further the spout solidifies into stone. Weakness: Water Jutsu that are C-Rank and higher cause premature solidification. Small rubble before jutsu breaks surface
Right below the lip of the furnace the lava went. Last time Meech had cause the furnace to over flow, but his chakra control was getting noticeably better. Now stacking his fire wood up next to the fire furnace, he brushed himself off and turned to exit the room. To his surprise another was in the doorway. It was one of the villagers, a girl by the name of Vajra. She was just a year younger than he was, but not one of the children that aspired to be a ninja. She instead wanted to be a cook, something quite rare in the clans line of professions, but the villagers didn't treat it as a special case and supported her. "Why are you up so early Sachio?" She rubbed her eyes and looked at the lava furnace, the firewood, then back to him. "You're up just as early Vajra. And if you must know I'm training. I get up everyday this early to start when I don't have a mission or anything important to do in Kumogakure." He put his hands in his pockets and walked past her, just outside the furnace room and looked out towards the mountains. The sun sure was rising fast, but that's not what he was concerned with. More importantly he was worried that he had been caught off guard by Vajra's arrival. He shouldered the blame onto his tired state, but deep down he was still a bit sour at the occurrence. "You really are taking this ninja thing serious hm? . . . Do you mind if I watch you train?" She had extended a gentle hand out to the door and slid it closed, before turning to face Sachio whom was still facing the mountain range.
He wasn't against the idea, because she would do no harm to his training . . . well maybe she would be a minor distraction, but only because Sachio had a small crush on the girl. "Erm . . sure, just be careful, because I'm still a beginner ok?" He turned his head to face her and she nodded with a light smile.
Down the mouton side they traveled taking a small trail to where the Kazan members trained their Yoton Element. It was a hard dark stone arena, that spanned out for 40m in diameter. Vajra stayed at the perimeter of the large circular arena, while Sachio walked 10m in from the perimeter at which Vajra sat. He tried to ignore the fact she was watching and it took awhile to, but as he focused on breathing he soon focused on his training. The feel of the earth against his bare feet was oddly refreshing and he loved how sturdy and reinforced it felt. In a horse stance, with his hands clasped together in front of him, soon his hands split only to come back together in a series of unique formations. Dog->Boar->Monkey. After these hand signs, a single hand was thirsted forward along with an passive step of a foot. A barely noticeable rumble was issued about 3m around Meech, this rumble only lasted for half a second before the surface of the black stone broke and spewed forth a hot stream of crimson lava.
Jutsu Learned:
Name: Lotus Stream Rank: C-Rank Type: Ninjutsu Used For: All Element: Yoton Range: 15m Linear 5m width 6ft in height Duration: One Post Hand Seals/Charge up: Dog->Boar->Monkey->Thrust Hand Description: After hand signs are executed and a hand is thrusted forward, a stream of rushing lava is shot in this direction. The lava is summoned from beneath the earth and moves with the urgency of a broken dam towards the intended target. The stream is 5m thick and appears more like Mei Terumi's lava which is less viscous than typical lava giving it great mobility, but still good durability. Unlike most lava techniques, this lava can solidify immediately after the hand is pulled back if the user wishes. If not then one post after use the lava will be solid. Weakness: Can be prematurely solidified by Water Jutsu B-Rank or higher. User must hold the hand out as long as he wants the lava to stream.
Sachio could feel the heat of the stream of red hot liquid as it rushed out in front of him. It was barely noticeable, but he could also hear a faint clapping. It was hard to pick up over the sound of the sizzling magma and the sound of it rushing like water forward, but he could hear it and it made him self-conscious, so he stopped the jutsu. He had gotten what he needed out of it anyhow, so he returned his hand back towards his frame and he simultaneously jumped back about 1 meter. Idly resting on the ground the goo steamed and bubbled in a sort of weird beauty which Meech simply stared at and admired, before a hand and a bit of weight was pressed on his shoulder. It was Vajra's dainty hand as she peeked from behind Sachio to also admire his jutsu which oddly made her giggle and made Sachio look at her in curiosity. "I knew you were training to be a ninja and this is what it involves, but I just think it's weird to see you do it. To see you "ninja"." Meech kind of grasped what she meant and he had to admit it was kind of odd. He had come a decent ways from where he was just a month ago. Back then he had could only pull off a Yoton jutsu with luck, but now he was consistently hitting the mark with each of his jutsu. Safe to say he was proficient in the Kazan ways for his skill level, but that wasn't good enough for him, he wanted to surpass expectations for his level. "Yeah it is a bit odd now that I think of it. I ca-" "Yes you came a long way from spitting up lava on your shirts just a month ago." Vajra said as she chuckled again and walked back to her seat. Meech goofily scratched his head as he nodded.
Refocusing on the lava it had begun to lose its color and it was now shifting into a dull grey as it would soon become more black for the hard stone arena. Stepping out a bit further in the arena stepping onto the newly solidified lava, he was now about 15m away from Vajra a safe distance for the next technique he wanted to try. It was a bit difficult to grasp as he had tried it many times before, but he was feeling accomplished and good today. The sun giving a bit more warmth to the boy as it was just starting to peek past one of the mountain tops, he started his berthing again. In and out, he soon felt the heat inside of himself and deemed himself ready for an attempt at the jutsu. Ox->Boar->Monkey->Snake He weaved in rapid succession, before stomping a foot against the ground for the sake of practice. In turn, just like before the small rumble issued for a fraction of a second and then below his feet a dome of lava rose. Taking him about 5m off of the ground, then with no specific timing or warning, the dome popped proving to be hollow. Spreading out an additional 5m, from the edge of the dome, the lava was like a sheet or cover as it stretched out before falling to the ground.
Jutsu Learned:
Name: Bubble Blast Rank: C-Rank Type: Ninjutsu Used For: Offensive Element: Yoton Range: 5m Radius->10m Radius Duration: Instant Hand Seals/Charge up: Ox->Boar->Monkey->Snake Description: This jutsu summons a dome of molten lava from below the earths crust which rises beneath the users feet lifting them 5m high in the air occupying 5m around them. Then spontaneously the bubble of lava will pop and the lava will fan out to occupy an additional 5m giving the jutsu 10m reach in total. The lava of course causes intense burns and is solidified by the users next post. Weakness: User is still vulnerable during the jutsu, earth jutsu can avoid this attack after the lava surfaces. Water jutsu of equal rank can cause premature solidification. Small rubble before jutsu breaks surface.
Vajra was fairly amazed by the exceptional jutsu Meech had pulled off this time. It was good he had consciously moved himself a ways forward before executing it as well, given that it had spread so far, but she remained unharmed so all was well. Like the other puddle, the red hot magma bubbled and growled as it was exposed to the cool atmosphere that was the Land of the Lightning's Mountain Ranges. "Great job Sachio, that one was really amazing. You seem to have picked up this ninja stuff pretty fast ever since you got a grasp on the clans Kekkei Genkai." Her praise warmed his heart and his cheeks as well as they glowed with a weak shade of red and he chuckled while looking at the ground. "Thanks I guess haha. It's nothing once you get used to the element. I bet you could even pull it off if you were to start practicing." His focus looked up halfway through his speech as he rested his vision on Vajra, before subtly making the Half Tiger hand seal. Churning his chakra in his stomach, he could feel his belly grow hot and weighted. Moving this swelling chakra out of his mouth he spat out a volume of lava that created a small puddle. Jumping above it, he formed the snake hand seal and as if it were a portal to another dimension he fell right through it.
Where he emerged next seemingly instantly was at the edge of the lava sheet he previously made right in front of Vajra. Climbing out by planting a hand on the solid earth, then another, he hoisted himself out and stretched out his back. As he did he noticed a familiar shadow was being cast onto the training arena. It was his fathers.
Jutsu Learned:
Name: Swift Swim Rank: D-Rank Type: Ninjutsu Used For: Supplementary Element: Yoton Range: 25m Duration: Instant Hand Seals/Charge up: Snake Description: The user must be standing in a puddle of lava that is at least the size of their body horizontally. They then sink in at the pace they wish and appear coming out of another puddle of lava that is maximum 25m away from the original puddle. Once used the user can execute this jutsu without the need of hand signs for two post. Even semi solidified Lava can be utilized. Weakness: If the user were to go in a puddle of lava and all the puddles were somehow cleared or disappeared, the user would have to surface to the ground as if they were using the Hiding Mole Technique. The jutsu becomes fairly predictable after about 2 uses.
"You're up early this morning Sachio, how long have you been training?" His father's gruff and powerful voice shook Sachio's frame as he looked up to see the man walking down the mountain pass. Vajra had also turned to face and wave to him which he kindly returned with an acknowledging nod. "It's only been an hour and some change. I started with wood cutting and just recently got into rehearsing my actual jutsu." His father stopped at the edge of the ebony hard stone arena with folded arms and observed the spectacle. He could see the globs of lava still not eh ground and the streams still cooling, Vajra had now stood and was brushing herself off. "I'll leave you two to your father son time now, good luck Sachio." The Genin was a bit disappointed that Vajra was leaving, but he knew his father wasn't the easiest to be comfortable around. Just the aura he exuded made Sachio himself uncomfortable, he couldn't imagine how someone outside his immediate family felt being right beside him. Knowing his father's eyes were narrowed on him to see how he reacted or spoke to Vajra he simply gave her a similar nod to the one his father had given her before, simple acknowledgement. After this nod his optics scrolled over to his father's who was already staring back at him like he assumed he would be. He focused on Vajra in his peripherals, not allowing his irises to shift over to focus on her directly, but soon his vision sifted and focused back on the man in the center of his sight. His father was approaching and taking off his haori, he had plans to help Sachio train. Always 'fun'. Before his father wasn't as harsh, but now the man was brutally hard on Sachio since he had awoken his ability to use the Lava Element.
"Get out of the pocket of offensive Yoton, let me see you execute the Rubber Ball Jutsu now!" His voice boomed as if he carried thunder in his tone and with it, the rugged man dashed in towards his son. There was barely time to react and with that, the mind of Sachio didn't allow his hands to move to form the bird hand seal. Instead his reflexes commanded him jump. This of course positioned him above his father how had through a midriff targeting hook at him. "Your reflexes were on point, but your choice of action is flawed." The man pivoted on a single foot to extend the other as a roundhouse kick swiftly towards Sachio who was airborne. The Genin's arms came up to shield him from the powerful taijutsu blow, but he of course could do nothing about the force of the strike which propelled him many meters away. His forearms ached and were probably bruised from the blunt force of the kick, but it was better his forearms than his torso.
Close to touching down on the ground, the boys bare feet would be shredding to the bone if he were to try to use traction to slow him down. Instead Sachio formed the Bird hand sign and with that his cheeks puffed up and he expelled a thick hollow burlap shaded sphere from his mouth which surrounded him and rolled on the ground.
Rubber Ball Learned:
Name: Rubber Ball Rank: C-Rank Type: Ninjutsu Used For: All Element: Yoton Range: 4m in diameter max Duration: Instant Hand Seals/Charge up: Bird Description: The user expels a large glob of lava from their mouth, which quickly solidifies into a hollow ball that can be used to protect an object by surrounding it with the durable rubber-like material. The properties of this substance mean that it can both absorb and dissipate the force behind a blow when struck, resulting in it either deforming or bouncing upon impact. This can also be expelled to surround the user. Weakness: Canon
His father was in close pursuit of this rubber sphere however and wasn't planning on letting the Genin hide in its defense for long. "Heaven's Cleaver!" The man yelled from outside the rubber ball still approaching. With that Sachio knew what was coming next. This attack consisted oft eh Jounin Level Former Ninja leaping sky high before dropping a powerful extended leg on his target. "Gotta get outta here damn!" None of his ninja tools on him, the Genin couldn't simply cut himself out of the orb instead he relied on physics and a previously mastered jutsu. Snake. His hands clasped together as chakra surged throughout his body and a geyser of lava was formed partially under and in front of the rubber ball. This pushed the Rubber Defense back some given the deadly liquid sprouted up out of the ground not directly under it. This not only moved Meech out of harms way, but also put his father in danger.
"Innovative, but still not going to save you!" Meech wasn't prepared for an all out spar and hadn't even warmed up his body properly at that, nor did he have his shoes on. "Emperors Breath!" With that his father's hands masterfully wove together a collection of three unknown hand signs and a deep red volume of lava came bursting out his mouth. It crushed Sachio's uprising geyser with it's force alone, then continued to spew out as he descended and it eventually made a wave of lava. The center point being were Sachio's father was, it began to fan out in all directions to swamp the battlefield.
Dammit, his jutsu is strong enough to melt this ball in no time, I gotta get out of this thing. Sachio could hear the lava rushing towards his location and knew he didn't have much time to escape a prison he created himself. Maybe if I Shunshin I can move fast enough and pierce the ball with speed alone. He wasn't sure it would work, but it surely would get him airborne and give him more time to escape than be a sitting duck. Ram. As the sign was made, the boy was miraculously freed from the durable and malleable prison.
Body Flicker Learned:
Name: Body Flicker Technique Rank: D Type: Ninjutsu Element: N/a Range: Up to 50 meters of your original position Duration: 1 Post Hand Seals/Charge up: Ram Description: The Body Flicker Technique is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance and elevation between the user and the intended destination. (May not initiate an attack until the next post. This applies to all techniques akin to this jutsu.)
Zipping about 10m up high, he was soon suspended int he air to see the lake of deep red lava devouring his Rubber Ball and his father standing atop it. As he began his descent, his heels tapped together to again utilize his Geyser Jutsu that created a platform for him to stand on given he was immune to his own magma. "Looks like you're growing quite used to combat Sachio. Lets see how far you've truly come as a Genin." The spout of Lava Sachio created had rested on top of his father's due to it being much denser since it began cooling. Luckily this allowed Sachio to use the water walking technique to stand atop the lack unharmed with bare feet. "Don't you think you're reaching to a far measures though! This is getting really dangerous!" Sachio called out to his father who seemed a bit shocked to hear the words. Looking around at his surroundings, he gave an approving nod and made a single half tiger seal causing his dense lava to seep into the ground. Sachio was sweating from the intense heat and the intense "spar", but his dad didn't seem done. "You're right, I got carried away, so I'll tone it down a bit. You aren't hurt are you?" That was the thing about his father. A stern man, but still humble and caring once he noticed the flaws in his ways. Sachio only wished he could be caring like this more often. Not to be babied, but so he wouldn't have to face near data experiences every time he sparred with the man. "No I'm fine, we can continue." Meech was short of breath and his chakra pool was a bit low, but he knew his father would be disappointed if the boy ran out of gas now. On top of that some of the compound was gathered at the top of the mountain pass watching the two battle. "Alright then, here I come, look sharp!" This was his father's boxing stance. Both hands were brought up for a guard as he began to advance onto Sachio's position, but each of his steps were like small dashes. This gave caused him to move in blurs making tracking him a bit of a hassle, but nothing too vexing.
Meech planned to match the boxing with taijutsu of his own, more specifically the Issen Stance his sense Izo had taught him. His legs spread comfortably and bent at the knees, both his hands were raised ready to counter the oncoming onslaught his father was brewing. Just as the man entered the proximity for his combination, he unleashed it and it came like lightning. One right straight which Sachio weaved to dodge, then a left zooming in at his gut. The blow was solid as it struck his abdominal, but the Kazan Superior wasn't done, no not yet. Even after landing such a blow, he would always finish his combos unless he knew they would kill the boy. The right hand having missed was brought back to the mans frame, then resent to administer a thunderous uppercut. An uppercut so powerful the Jounin level retiree had leaped with it to carry the momentum. Sent upwards and knocked off the knuckles of his father, Sachio began his descent to the ground and crashed hard with the stone. The crowd had gasped and oo'd and awww'd at the spectacle, but Sachio had a trick up his sleeve. As his father watched the body of the Genin fall to the ground, the real Sachio had leap up from a small puddle of lava near by and charged him. The substitution had yet to reveal itself, but as Sachio jumped and kicked his father square in his head that turned to see him in surprise, the Sachio that was uppercutted proved to be nothing but some of the stone from the arena after a plume of smoke was issued.
It was odd how the crowd cheered upon the Elder Kazan being struck in the face and Sachio was a bit terrified for having done it. Sachio hopped back placing several meters between him and his father who had placed a hand to his nose to see his own blood on his hands. "That was a good one . . . I haven't seen the Kawarimi technique used so well in so long. Was it when I looked up at the crowd?" Sachio nodded, to nervous to verbally answer his father who chuckled at his answer before wiping the blood into his training Gi. "It seems like I can kick it up a notch then." At this moment Sachio knew he was in trouble and the next combo would indeed be a finisher. His father was known to be a brute by all the villagers, that being the reason they cheered upon seeing him get hit. Entering a comfortable stance, he already knew what jutsu he wanted to employ when his father wold try to engage. He needed to roast him.
As the man stepped he left globs of lava in his wake and soon enough his body was steaming and the magma was dripping from his frame. "You're gonna learn to not shame me ever again boy . . . you're gonna learn the way those damn Sand Ninja did back in my days as a Captain." When he referred to Captain he meant of his squadron during the Land of Wind Civil War. "I- I didn't mean it like that. We were sparring, so I was just following my-" "Yeah, you're intuition and I'm following mine now. Prepare to learn the hard way the real power of a Kazan Clan Member you meal worm." This was the abusive side of his father. The side that earned him a place in retention for many months on end in the compound and in Sunagakure alike. Rushing in like a mad bull, the Genin's fingers couldn't weave hand signs any faster. Ram->Dragon->Rat. With that he spat a large volume of lava out in front of him with formed a thick wall of live magma. His father ignored the liquid though, with the taboo jutsu he employed being burned was his smallest concern. A single arm thick as a tree trunk breaking through the wall grabbed Sachio by his neck. His eyes were red and watering and felt as if they'd pop out his skull at this point. "You enjoy disrespecting me in front of these clansmen boy?" The lava wall had barely formed and had already fell to the ground do to the loss of focus. Grabbing his father's arm with both of his trying to push away he knew he had no chance in freeing himself. Sachio even lacked the oxygen to answer the man, but luckily he didn't need it. "Hachi!" In a blur four other clansmen clothed in traditional clothing surrounded Sachio's father -Hachi- with blades drawn and pointed at him.
Image of Clothing:
Sachio could feel the pressure of the grip lighten and see a fifth person, the clan head behind his father arms folded across his chest. Each of the elders with their blades drawn eyed only the abuser. "Drop the boy Hachi." Sachio actually found himself wishing they ran the beast of a man through at this very moment, but then immediately felt bad for having such thoughts. "You know while this jutsu is active, those blades are no threat to me Bato." The heated grip was released regardless of the words his father spoke and Sachio grasped at his neck, burns all around. "I guess I'll be going back in retention?" Hachi asked as he raised his hands in a surrendering position, his body temp falling showing he released the jutsu. "If it were up to me I'd have you killed, but yes sadly, back to retention. Yuri, treat Sachio's wounds please." The elder withdrew his blade hesitantly and eyed Hachi the whole time till he passed the man then he began healing Sachio. "Sorry you had to go through such a thing, we'll get you up and healthy in no time though, no worries." The last thing the Genin could remember was a calming aura enveloping him and the pain slowly fading before he lost consciousness.
