A Private Spot [Training]

There was a clearing in the Land of Water, which led away from trees and stumbled upon a rather coy lake. It glimmered with small, shaky, waves, spurred up by a breeze, and reflected the rays of the sun when they happened to break through a few stray clouds. Fog layered it, a misty one at that, littered with dew droplets of an eerie nature, which made what otherwise would have been a fine spot for a picnic date, rather ominous. Spreading out away from it was a grassy plain, which only cut off into another forested area, led into by a worn dirt path. Covered in footprints, strangely most of the same size, it was clear that someone held this clearing in high regard, enough to make a trip daily to it. Hitu in fact, was there now, sitting and watching a few feet from the water’s edge, as the small waves crashed upon land.
An onlooker might have considered the look he bore one of loneliness; however it was merely the way his frown curved that made it seem that way. He was focusing, waiting for the right moment to send an arm forward and strike at part of the mist. The spot in question was watched for what seemed like an eternity and any onlooker would have surely left before seeing what or rather who Hitu was. If they had stayed only a few seconds longer they would have seen it: the intent to kill in his eyes, the sweat that began to form on his head as tension rose. Then suddenly an arm shot forward, stretched in such an unnatural yet familiar fashion: it slithered, striking that spot in the mist and then retreating.
A second or so passed, and for a moment all was quiet. Such serenity would not last however, as his opposite arm shot forward at the spot, closely following it was the other, albeit a few seconds behind. The first would strike, drawback only slightly and then the second would hit the spot, and thereafter retreat. The process repeated several times before changing. Each time, an arm would stretch and then be followed in striking the spot in a quick succession of blows. The motions of such would become a blur, before any noticeable change would occur. A foot would work is way in as Hitu made it to his feet. As one shot forward one of his hands would fall into a support position, brushing across the grass and taking in any excess weight.
At first, each leg would take a turn heading straight forward at the targeted mist and then be drawn back in quick succession by Hitu. However, after only a few repetitions, his left began a sweep and his right leg ducked under it and struck at the same time. When they were brought back they worked around each other and shrank back to normal size. During such a time when both legs were out, Hitu had fallen into a position in which his body weight was placed on his palms in order to hold himself upright. Thus, at one time he was working both leg and arm muscle.
With such a strenuous activity, sweat easily formed upon his brow after only a few minutes and his breath became unsteady. Still, he pushed a bit harder, alternating, now both arm and leg, while still remaining some sort of awkward balance. At one point he had rested completely on one foot with both arms stretching forward into alternating punches and the leg sweeping out underneath them as if too take an imaginary opponent off of his feet. It was after this rather difficult combination did he rest upon the now rather ruffled grass beneath him. He did not lie though, wanting to keep his heart rate up, and blood flowing properly to his brain. Instead, he sat, panting and just staring at that same spot he had been attacking all this time.
Nan-Kaizou (Way of the Snake - Soften Modification)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Special: By default, this jutsu allows the user to move one appendages (legs or arms) to stretch. With each rank earned, one more appendage can be stretched at the same time, as well as for longer distances. The head and torso can only be stretched once the user learn the ‘S’ ranked version of this jutsu. Stretching distance begins at 10 meters, and increases by 10 with each new rank attained.
Description: Nan Kaizou is one the most essential Kagehebi ninjutsu technique, as it allows a ninja to make their body extremely malleable, much like a snake. It was originally developed for spying activities, but perfected in the hands of the Kagehebi and their natural snake-infused blood. When used the clan member can stretch and twist their body at any angle, allowing them to surprise their opponents, spy on situations normally out of reach, and react much like a snake would. The only drawback is that while malleable, their bodies are highly susceptible to damage in this form as their bone structure is no longer ‘normal’.
Domain: Kagehebi. Must know 'Nan Kaizou' of equal rank.
OOC Note: I know I am training a particular jutsu in post, however I would prefer if at all possible that EXP just be pooled into my account until I decide exactly how I want to build Hitu...If that is not possible it's fine I'll work under that assumption for next post.
