Training Jutsu.

Sakai stood in the middle of the training grounds, eyes closed as he reached out to the world around him while also guiding his chakra through his body and down into the ground. He could feel the earth beneath his feet, the soil, the path his body was destined to move was a straight line. He could visualize it in his mind, see the path and the Chakra that would assist him. This was a useful jutsu as he did not need a hand sign and could be used in a offense and defense maneuver. He focused on his target, a dummy he had set up. Suddenly he was gone, moving through the ground and grabbing the target, ripping it down into the ground. Once done, he leaped out of the earth and landed. Gazing upon his trapped enemy. He smirked, another useful jutsu.

Description: This technique conceals the user underground and drags the object of their attack down into the earth, robbing them of their freedom, leaving them completely unable to move after they're underground. The user can only move in a linear fashion and can only remain underground for one post before they lose the ability to tunnel and must resurface or reactivate.
Weaknesses: The user must have some way of sensing the target above or know where their target is before submerging.

That done he turned to his next jutsu, a non elemental type. He picked up the scroll and opened it up to the first one. Body Flicker Technique, a useful jutsu to give a Ninja a boost in speed. That could be very useful. He read it over and nodded, getting the fundamentals of the Jutsu. In theory one put Chakra on the bottom of their feet allowing them to move faster by boosting their step. In theory it seemed easy but it was the actual practice that would be the judge. Sakai walked over to the other side of the field and took a running stance, feeling the Chakra throughout his body he focused it down to his feet, coating the bottom of it in Chakra, he pushed off. In no time he had reached the other side, flying faster than he had ever done before. Coming to a stop he smirked. Another Jutsu claimed.

Hand Seals: Half Tiger
Description: This technique enhances the user's movements by fortifying their step with chakra. This is essentially a burst of energy to make their body function at higher speeds. This technique boosts the user's movement speed by one tier up to 100 meters. If at any time they stop running they must require an reactivation. The hand seal may be held to constantly refresh the 100 meter limit providing a constant speed increase.
Weaknesses: Just like a full sprint the user must remain in a straight line in order to benefit from the bonus. If the user were to change direction they must reactivate the technique.

He jogged back to the scroll and opened it wider, seeing one called the Haze Clone technique, this actually was interesting as it created clones that were insubstantial. He nodded and walked over to the middle of the training area, glad he had chosen a time when no one else was around to work on learning and mastering his jutsu. He closed his eyes, feeling the chakra inside him and remembering the words he needed to learn. He felt the Chakra, made the hand signs and like that he was surrounded up to ten clones, each one perfect. But once he moved his hand through, it went right through. He smirked, this gave him an idea.

Parent Technique: Clone Technique
Hand Seals: Dog → Tiger
Description: At first glance it seems like a regular Clone Technique, but the haze clone uses a cunning trap to lure out the enemy. As the haze clones are not physically real, the attack will just pass through them. While attention is drawn to the clones, the real body attacks from the blind spot. During the illusion and resulting chaos, the enemy, who is caught up in the technique, can then be defeated. This technique allows for the creation of 10 clones total in a single casting. Like the parent technique however the clones are restricted in range and their ability to speak or act in any manner not consistent with a distraction.
Weaknesses: -

Finally he came to the end of the scroll, a slight look of disappointment on his face at the idea of running out of Jutsu to learn that day. Oh well, this Jutsu could be useful in a pinch and if used right may become very handy. He read it out. "Temporary Paralysis Technique" He nodded, seeing how his opponent being unable to move for a moment could be well utilized. Taking the same place he had done countless times before, he closed his eyes. Sensing the Chakra inside him, the theory of the Jutsu, he made the hand signs feeling the Chakra expand, and once his sign was done, felt it fly out of him. If he had been facing an enemy they would be paralyzed. He smirked, another Jutsu down.

In order to use this technique the user must place their middle and index finger against the spine, eyes, or head of their opponent. Users with incredible control over their chakra (base S-tier Coordination) can execute this technique through their eyes by having eye contact with their opponent.

This restrains the target for one round.

Sakai stood back in his normal training area, a set of new scrolls in his hand. He had come today to learn and practice more new Jutsu he had come across. Now he was strong enough to utilize stronger Jutsu it was time to learn some new one's that would be helpful in his future. For now, he opened the scroll and gazed upon a new Jutsu, this one was the Hiding in Shadows technique. A useful jutsu to hide and meld with the shadows. Nodding, he slipped off into the shadows, feeling the jutsu, remembering everything he read, all aspects he had studied.

Leaning into the shadows he felt it, melding with the world around him. Becoming one with the shadows he now hid in. Next was movement, he caught another shadow, in the darkness of a tree and moved quickly to it, staying in the shadows, blending in. He smiled, he had learned it.Stepping out he rolled his shoulders, and smirked. Oh yeah.

Jogging over to the scroll, he opened it up again and looked it over, a smile forming as he had learned and conquered yet another Jutsu. But it wasn't enough, he needed more, to learn more. There was always another Jutsu, always another step forward. He opened up the scroll and read it, a smile formed. Oh yes, he would need this Jutsu in the future. The Genjutsu breaking Jutsu. A helpful technique he could utilize to escape a Genjutsu and keep going forward. He hated Genjutsu, those who used it tended to be masochist who enjoyed the suffering of others. Sighing, he closed the scroll and stepped back to his spot.

His eyes closed as he focused on the Jutsu, his hands moved making the sign of the tiger and felt the Chakra burst that would relieve him of the Genjutsu art. He smiled, yet another jutsu learned. This was more than just skills and knowledge, it was opportunity.

Next up was the Earth Scroll he had got from the library, opening it up, he gazed at the jutsu and nodded, examining it closely and going over it twice and three times. The jutsu was a interesting and useful earth jutsu, one that could be useful for someone who liked to keep people away and at a distance. If a running slope of mud didn't do it, nothing would. Now, he jogged over to a different area to keep his favorite spot from becoming a mud hole. He took his normal stance, gazing at the path he was going to send the jutsu down. The jutsu was newer to him as earth style had never been his priority, he had been born with the capabilities to use wood, earth, and water. A natural, but he had always preferred his wood style.

Now however he needed to branch out, his hand made the tiger sign and the ground in front of him shifted, forming a gushing rush of mud that went a good twenty meters before coming to a stop. That was that, a useful Jutsu learned right off the bat. Another idea came to mind, a jutsu he read that would go great with this one. Not needing a hand sign, he dived into the mud, using his chakra he flowed down the path feeling himself swimming in the mud, moving through it like a seal or a dolphin. Closing the gap between his starting point and the end where he erupted out of. He shook off the mud, glad to see that the mud was already falling off instead of leaving him soaking in the gunk. That was that, another Jutsu learned from the scroll. He smirked, this was going better than he expected it would have. Turning his head, he gazed at the scroll. What next? Than the exhaustion hit, he yawned and slumped down. He had used a lot of chakra that day and needed to sleep. So, he called it a day planning to come back tomorrow.

Description: A technique that transforms the earth surrounding the user into a fluid, allowing them to close in on the enemy with high speed by swimming underground. Since being under the ground is a blind spot, the target has no warning; allowing the user to launch a surprise attack. By using this technique in conjunction with a weapon, it also gains great effect as an "assault ninjutsu."
Weaknesses: The user must have a way of detecting the target or the surface above.

The next day, Sakai returned to his normal training grounds, his Chakra and stomach both fully restored and ready for more training. Scrolls in arm of both Earth and water as well as one from his clan. He was excited to find a scroll from his families clan and now he could learn some more techniques from it. Now however he had a earth jutsu he had been wanting to try and learn as it would increase his defense capabilities. This next Jutsu would allow him to raise the earth in front of him as a wall or shield, it had it's down sides but it also gave him an idea on how to use it as a trigger.

Once he memorized the jutsu, he walked over to his normal spot and rolled his shoulders, feeling the bones pop. Now that he was here it was time to begin. His hands came down, palms striking the earth and like that the ground rose up in front of him. Higher and higher until he was completely protected from the front. It also had gone up quite quickly, meaning in battle it would be useful.

Description: After striking the ground with their hands the user creates a large wall of earth in front of them. The defense is not perfect though, since a hard or drilling impact, such as the Spiked Human Bullet Tank technique, can puncture the wall. Also, since this technique only guards against frontal attacks, the enemy can easily attack from the side or even from above.
Weaknesses: N/A

Having finished that jutsu, he returned the wall back to the earth, not wanting to keep it up and become a burden for other ninja coming to train here. Like him, some were just Genin and may not have the skills to break it down. So, not needing it anymore he let it go. Walking back to the scroll he opened it up and read it over, this one was going to be very useful, he could see a wide variety of techniques being utilized from this one, several escape arts as well. A idea formed, something he could utilize as a last resort, but it was on the back burner for now. He needed to focus on this Jutsu.

Jogging back to his spot he focused his chakra, closing his eyes and brought the words and steps from the scroll to mind. He felt the ground under his feet changing into a fine sand, his body dropped like a stone dropped into water, sinking deep in the ground. Now under, he began moving, feeling the freedom. More than that, like a mole he could sense where everything was above ground. This would indeed be very useful. Like that, he came back up out of the ground. Once back on land the fine sand turned back to solid earth.

Description: This technique changes earth into fine sand by channeling chakra into it, allowing the user to dig through it like a mole. This effect goes around the body (not just the hands), making it just large enough for a person to move through. The user can pinpoint where they are, despite being underground, by sensing the magnetic forces. They can also sense what is happening on the surface and use that information to launch a surprise attack on the enemy. The range for this sensing is 50 meters. One can also hide deep in the ground, escaping to a depth where the enemy can't reach. It also appears that after digging, the ground can be returned to its original state, leaving no trace of where the user entered the earth.
Weaknesses: N/A

That jutsu learned and mastered, he walked back to the scroll. He needed more offensive attacks, earth style seemed very defensive which was great when you considered he didn't have the strongest body. But at the same time it would be nice to have some more offensive damaging jutsu. This next one seemed to do the trick, it seemed like one pulled them into the center and down into the earth, crushing them under the weight of the world itself. Useful, and acceptable. Now he had yet another jutsu that kept enemies at a distance and did damage. Lucky him.

Sakai stepped away to his usual spot, closing his eyes he went over the method in his mind, feeling his chakra flowing through him. He could see the signs, the balance of heaven and earth, body and mind and his hands made the signs of Boar → Ox → Palms on Earth, his palms hit the ground and focused on a training dummy ten meters away, the ground began twisting and pulling like a big tub drain, pulling everything around it to the center, the training dummy was sucked down into the earth, being crushed and suffocated by it. He pulled back, stopping from going any further.

Now, it was time for the offensive Jutsu he had read right under it, this one seemed to be more offensive based than the others and required only a few stones and chakra. His hands came together forming the Monkey symbol! He inhaled than spat, shooting the rocks out of his mouth and at the training dummy nearby. The rocks spun, and than grew! Becoming giant boulders that smashed the training dummies and the logs that held them. Shattering the beams with ease and destroying the training dummies, blowing them to shreds from the sheer size and power of the jutsu. Sakai shook his head, amazed at such power from Chakra.
