Shibirin left the village’s occupation for a while and made his way towards a small forest, just within Konoha, to have a crack at training his Ninjutsu. Although he was mainly a Kenjutsuist, Ninjutsu still made up part of his victories and if he wanted to be the best at what he does, he had to get rid of any weaknesses he may have, this included his ninjutsu, kenjutsu, the weapons he used and his battle tactics. On his way there, he kept tapping at his sword’s sheath to give his hands something to do whilst he walked. He thought about what level he wanted his Ninjutsu skill to be at and what he had to do to get it there. In order to successfully create lethal tactics that will prove difficult to avoid to whichever opponent he verses, he needed the help of his Ninjutsu, be it for trapping purposes, attacking purposes or defence purposes.
As he arrived in the forest, the first thing he saw was an open patch of land, surrounded by a few large tress and many tightly growing trees. He decided to use this area for his ninjutsu, for he needed flat ground for some of his jutsu. Making his way now, towards it, he took off his katana and rested it under the thickest tree he could see, so he would be able to find his katana should any of his jutsus change the terrain too much. He was still new to Konoha’s grounds, so this also helped form the idea. He gave himself some space between him and the trees. It seemed the trees grew circling the small patch of land he had found, so ideally, Shibirin took his stance in the middle of the patch of land. He didn’t worry about his stance too much, for he didn’t do any form of Taijutsu and as for his kenjutsu stances, he was very lax on the way he stood. It was the best way for him to fight, so he didn’t bother with following the guidelines as to what stance to take for what type of fighting.
He practised a few hand signs, starting with the ram, then the sheep, followed by the ox, pig, serpent, bird and then lastly, the dragon. This was so he’d be able to thread hand signs faster during combat. He didn’t do any particular jutsu with them just yet, for he just wanted to practise threading hand signs more efficiently and quickly. It bored him to death just repeating these hand signs in the same exact order for what seemed to be 10 minutes, so he mixed it up a bit. He did half of the hand sign routine, slammed his hands on the ground then continued from where he left off. He did this for another 10 minutes, then again mixed it up a bit further. This time, he did a quarter of the routine, slammed his hands on the ground, did the figure of eights motion but without the katana, then he continued on with the rest of the routine. At first, this confused him: when he had gotten to the figures of eight technique, he had forgotten what hand sign comes first. This proved that not only does this training method improve your speed of threading hand signs, but it also improves your memory, something all great ninjas use in some point of their life. Shibirin decided to begin with the real training. He’d firstly use his Earth Changing Terrain jutsu to emerge 3 rock pillars from the ground in front of him, all standing in one row. He was going to use these as his practising dummies, but the jutsu alone was part of the training. ”Ok, let’s do this,” he said to himself, as if he were trying to convince his other half to give in to something it didn’t feel comfortable doing.
He firstly did the ram hand sign, then the dragon and finally the ox. As soon as he had completed this sequence, he muttered out the words, [color=aqua]”Earth Style: Earth changing terrain!”[/colo] and within seconds, three, 2.5 meters tall and 50cm wide rock pillars emerged roughly a meter away from the guy. He thought about using his sword to break the pillars, but if this were a fight and he didn’t have the access to his swords, he’d need another way to attack the three pillars, or in this case, the three targeted enemies. He looked around for anything, anything at all that may lead to finding the answer, then he spotted an apple tree. It had grown a few apples and Shibirin was about to use one of those apples. He made his way towards the tree, but stopped by the tree he had placed his sword under and grabbed his sword.
