Jutsu Training

Kyo had his work cut out for him. And when officially starting out on jutsu training, it was new to start with a solid foundation. In the matter of jutsu you had to get your basic academy jutsu out of the way since they were basic stuff. Kyo had set up some booby traps that would be trigger by his own moments so that they would strike him unexpectedly so he can truly use the body replacement technique. The triggers were all set and bound by nearly invisible ninja wire. The plan was that when Kyo troops a wire on purpose all six dart guns are going to fire at him simultaneously striking him and he would use the body replacement jutsu to evade and that was exactly what happened. He tripped the wire and they fired at him. He performed the hand seals Tiger → Boar → Ox → Dog → Snake. He replaced himself with a nearby log and escaped unharmed.

Next was the clone jutsu. Unlike the shadow clone jutsu which creates actual clones of the user, this was more of a distraction that anything else. The clones can be distinguished easily by those with the doujutsu that can do so. But even with the naked eye one can still determine if it is a clone or not. Since these clones do not affect the environment they are in in any way like foot prints or even leaving a shadow. Kyo harnessed his chakra and did the Ram, Snake, and tiger handshake and poor there was a clone of Kyo standing next to him.

This one is one of the more tricky academy level jutsu. From the scrolls that Kyo read it plainly states that "Given all the missions ninja are assigned to - battle, intelligence gathering, diversions - this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. On top of that, the user would be, most likely, interacting with the environment. This puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user; though this is of course not always successful."

Ky o was ok with this. Mental strain was his middle name. He gathered his chakra accordingly, the hyuuga clan being talented in chakra use, this jutsu was not as difficult as it initially seemed. He mentally pictured and he transforms into his katana. Next he transformed into the Hokage.

To those shinobi who were talented, they would know that the Tree Climbing Practice is a training method used to gain more skills with chakra control. This training involves focusing a fixed amount of chakra to the bottom of one's feet, and using that to climb a tree without using one's hands. If the stream of chakra is too weak, the user will lose their footing on the tree and fall off. If it is too strong, the user will be pushed away from the tree, causing the tree to break around the point of contact and the user will fall.

With that in mind, Kyo took out his kunai and focused chakra at the bottom of his feet and dashed thunderously towards a nearby tree and ran up the side of it and slashed. He kept doing this until he was comfortably walking up the side of the tree.

Chakra control really does give one an edge in the water walking skill. Oh what a useful jutsu this would be. At first of course he did mother it right away. He sank down the surface of the lake a few times and had to swim back up. But he realised this time he was able to actually climb on the surface of the water like a solid surface. He practiced some more and he stood on the water. Then he started skating.
