Migoto woke up the usual way he did, with the covers of his bed scattered to the bottom of the bed and half wrapped around one lib or another. It was a wounder he couldn't just sleep like a normal person for one night. Instead he had to go through a seizure and possible exorcism the way he woke up some mornings. But, he had work to do today. Yesterday he had thought up two new jutsu, one offensive and one defensive. They could work great together and if used independently. He felt pretty proud of himself, although one of them he had ripped of of Takumi;but none the less he was excited to try it out.

Yesterday he went over to Takumi's house and asked him if he would meet him at the training ground to help him try out new jutsu. Migoto had already trained with Takumi previously when he was still a part of team Zenchi and when Takumi was a chunin. Takumi had no doubt gotten a lot stronger by this time. Migoto picked him specifically because they both shared an affinity for Doton, and both of his techniques were Doton; so it made sense.

Migoto looked over at the bed on the floor adjacent to him that contained Wa-ryo, his pet Hyena.He looked exhausted curled up in a ball and almost snoring. He would cut him some slack today and train without him. He deserved some rest. Before starting his daily routine he wrote Wa-ryo a note.It read:'You looked exhausted today, so i'll let you have a day off. But be ready for an ass kicking tomorrow'-Signed Migoto. A little sappy letter to show that he cared. He pinned the note to his door so that it was easily visible and then continued to getting himself ready for the days activity.After showering, eating, brushing his teeth and eating; he was out of the door and off to his destination. The fissure training ground.

Walking through Iwagakure's busy districts were his favorite part of any day. The utter vastness and magnitude of the city both intrigued him and excited him. To get to the training ground he passed through the market districtand towards the village gates. He took everything in while he walked at a slightly brisk pace. The overly pushy vender peddling his wears to a reluctant customer, the steam coming out of the opening of the bath house, the simple chit-chat of the hundreds of people that were going about their life. It put a smile on his face.

After a half an hour of walking out of Iwagakure and into the wilderness toward the grounds, he was there. It was a barren place. Devoid of flora or fauna only sporting rocks as accessories to the plain rocks all around.The ground was littered with fissures that were scattered around the area; truly a testament to its name sake. Migoto wondered if the fissures were created naturally or by the various shinobie that trained here, but he pushed the question to the back of his mind. Migoto started to limber up and wait for Takumi to arrive.

Takumi woke up at around dawn to prepare for a day of training he yawn as the first light of the day had just started showing through his clear windows. He got up out of bed remembering that before he trained he had a ton of stuff to do for the Tsuchikage today. After he was up he began to get dressed putting on his pants and shoes. And then walked over to his closet and pulled out his Special Jounin jacket and put in on zipping the zipper three fourths of the way up so some of his pale white chest was still showing. When he was done doing that he ventured down stairs and ate breakfast with his father and mother.

When he was done eating he set off out the door in a attempt to get all his chores done before it was time to meet migoto. It took him around five hours to do all his tasks which included Getting a scroll back from a theif,Killing a few over sized beasts outside of iwa,Running important papers all over the vllage, And a few other things. When he got back home he ate lunch and prepared for his spar. He was going to help Migoto learn a few Doton moves. When lunch was done he ran out the door toward the fissure training grounds.

A Special Jounin running through the village is easy enough to see as it is. But a 12 year old Special Jounin running through the village is even easier to spot. Taku ran by many street venders selling strange objects to no doubt a bunch of really dumb tourists. When the road got to clogged for him to safely run in he jumped up onto the buildings and began to run towards the training grounds that way.

When he arrived at the training ground he saw Migo on the other side he quickly ran over there and said "Sorry for being late i got lost on the path of life". He said with a smile towards Migoto.

Migot was limbering up, doing isometrics, meditation, and even popping the joints of his body. First his neck and fingers let out an audibly pop, then the rest of his body did. It was a habit, popping his joints;it felt good. And the audible pop was utterly satisfying to hear when you did it right. Poping back to reality Migoto could see Takumi in the distance. Even though he was only twelve, he was unimaginable powerful at his age. Much more powerful than Migoto, that was certain. Takumi was, of course, shorter than Migoto and sported black hair like a majority of the village did. He was draped im a flack jacket, a symbol of his power to even reach the rank to attain it. Once Takumi reached Migoto he greeted him. He got lost on the path of life, that was a good one; he would have to remember that and use it sometime."Its not a problem, i was just stretching. So, like i said yesterday i'm trying to learn so new Doton techniques. One of which i ripped off from you, it's the Double decapitation technique. Would you mind showing it to me once?"An example always helps someone learn a jutsu better.

Taku smiled and limbered up first poping a few fingers and his back then said "Sure it is really a basic technique you focus doton chakra into your hands then place them on the ground and pour the chakra into the ground beneath you allowing you to "sink" into the ground. Once you are under you use the ground around you to well sense i guess is a good word your opponent's Whereabouts When you do that use some chakra to soften the dirt bellow then and push your hand through and yank them into the ground". Taku looked out and saw a piece of metal laying on the ground. Taku poped his neck and took a breath than started making hand signs. When he was done with that he touched the ground and sunk in. A few moments later he pushed his arm up and grabbed the metal and pulled it into the ground having on about 1 foot sticking out. He then poped back up next to migoto and smiled before saying "And that is it in a nut shell".

Chakea=240 jutsu inside:

Migoto watched Takumi demonstrate the technique. It was meant to be a sneak attack to immobilize an opponent. If the technique was done after a diversion it would be quite dangerous. Migoto remembered back to his first spar with Takumi. Takumi released a fog before he did the technique, the fog completely hid his movements and it was a nasty combination. It certainly got Migoto the first time he used it on him, but adding this jutsu to his arsenal would be invaluable.With the demonstration done it was Migoto's turn to try the jutsu out.

Migoto ran through a check list in his mind, step one:handseals. After doing the appropriate hand seals he referred back to the check list.step two: Doton chakra from the hands to the ground and sink in. Migoto knelt down and took a deep breath, focusing the chakra into his hands and touching the ground. The ground began to liquify, slowly dragging Migoto down with it. It was an odd feeling, like stepping in milk or something.Continuing to pour chakra into the ground, the deeper he went, as he was neck deep he took a deep breath and fully submerged. Under the ground it was cramped, only able to move his hands a bit to dig through the dirt. Migoto started digging straight ahead and stopped when he was a few feet in front of Takumi and plunged an arm through the dirt which caused rock and gravel to scatter all over the place. Migoto began digging himself out like a zombie out of a horror movie."Well, that was.....different."

528+207++ 272=1007/1750

Taku watched as he did his first attempt at the technique and as a first try it was not bad for a first attempt. Taku smiled and said "Not bad for a first timer but when you go under you cannot force it you have to feel like you are becoming part of the ground. Try again but this time clear your head of everything but this one jutsu". Taku sat back against a tree and grabbed a stick from it and stuck it in his mouth with the leafy end sticking out. "One last try and you should have it".

Migoto shook the remaining dirt from his figure, Takumi wanted him to do it again;practice does make perfect after all. Going through the mental check list he prepaired to perform the technique. Migoto weaved the hand signs the second time around, much faster than the first time. Next he placed his hands on the earth and forced his chakra into the ground causing the earth to liquefy again. The sinking part of the transition was much faster this time around as Migoto felt 'one' with the ground. Once under ground he swam through it like a fish, he now has the jutsu down pat. Taking his time to swim through the ground Migoto once again resurfaced in his zombie fashion. " Now i i've got that jutsu down, mind helping me with another, its one i made myself? It is an earth shield."

528+207+272+143=1150/1750

Taku was impressed with Migoto's progress he look up and said "Sure let me see what you got bring your sheild up and ill sent a spray of water at you and see hoe strong it is". Tku said as he jumped over to the other side of the area and smiled "Alright bring it up".

OOC: Sorry it is short with testing,IRL crap and a few other things i have been lacking time lately.

Migoto spaced himself a few meters away from Takumi's current position. He intended to try out his new earth sheild juts against Takumi's spout of water, if done right Migoto's sheild would hold out against the water. Migoto popped his neck using his right hand, pushing his chin to the left. A sharp pop was his bodies response, satisfying. After limbering up a bit Migoto took in his surroundings. In reality he was procrastinating, he was tired. The same barren landscape was their as when he had first came to the training spot, only a few holes where Migoto had performed the mole technique were added to the ever growing imperfection to the land. It was an odd put optimum spot for training. No trees or other flora or fauna sprouted from the dry soil, not even weeds survived in the ground. As far as Migoto could see there wasn't a single bird in the air and the usual clicking of insects had been left in the forest that bordered the training grounds a while ago. But it served its purpose, that was what really counted; beauty is only skin deep.

Alright, enough procrastination, time to get down to business. Migoto put his hands together and began weaving hand signs. He could feel the Doton chakra come alive withing him. Ending on his final hand seal he shouted, "Earth Release: Half Moon"and placed his hands on the ground, pouring the accumulated chakra into the ground. Almost instantly the rock in front of Migoto rose into a half dome shape. It was exhilarating that his custom jutsu had finally taken form. But that was not the whole process, the jutsu still had to withstand Takumi's jutsu to be effective in battle. So Migoto waited for the spout of water to hit the shield.

528+207+272+143+ 306=1456/1750

Spoiler:

Takumi watched as Migoto raised a shield of earth and was ready for his attack, He thought it only fair to warn him before he released it. He cupped his hands and said "Here it goes brace yourself". He then made a few hands signs and put his hand over his mouth in a trumpet sort of way and shot a focused spray of water at migoto's shield. Taku watched as the water soared through the air toward migoto's sheild. "This better be a dang good shield migoto if not you are in trouble.

Chakra=230 jutsu inside:

Although Migoto couldn't see over his rock dome in his current kneeling state, he could hear Takumi shout his warning. This would be it, if his shield could block the upcoming attack then it could be utilized in actual combat. Although his shield was only a lower rank jutsu he was happy with it, it could block Kunai and senbon without having to put himself in harms way. Also it could block D and C rank attacks which makes the jutsu quite useful.

Migoto was still knelt down in his rock dome, the function of the dome doesn't require a constant supply of chakra, so he could use it as a distraction for his head hunter jutsu or just as an actual shield. Migoto was fairly confident that the shield would hold out against the attack, having put a few weeks into molding the idea and the jutsu itself. But, jutsu always could be chained together. Like Migoto though before he could use it in conjunction with the double decapitation technique. While Migoto hid behind the shield he could sent out clones as a distraction. While simultaneously using the technique to burrow under his opponent and bury them. It was a pretty well thought out and constructed plan, he would have to try it sometime.

As Migoto was finishing up his though, he herd the sound of the jet of water being released from Takumi's mouth, it was like the sound a garden hose made when first turned on. A split second later he held and herd the impact into his shield. Stray droplets from the water jet fell onto his back, momentarily wetting his head and neck. The shield had held alot better than expected, Migoto had though it to be a one hit and done shield; instead it could be used another time without the jutsu getting through. Migoto pressed his hand against the ground cancelling his technique. The wet rock sank back into its previous place beneath his feet."Well, looks like both of the techniques work great. I really appreciate the help you gave me", Migoto said with a cheery smile. He walked over to Takumi, trying to sweep back his wet hair with one hand." How about a trip to the Ramen bar, my treat?"

528+207+272+143+ 306+380=1836/1750

Taku watched as his move struck the rock he had only been using about a C ranks worth of water but still the shield held. He watched as migoto canceled his shield and walked over to him and offered to buy him lunch. Taku chuckled and said "Sure sounds great" And he began to walk toward the ramen bar with Migo.
