A golden shine emitted across the horizon as a new day dawned upon Tsuchi no Kuni. The light that accompanied the rise of the sun was a symbol to the people of the land. It was time to get up! It was time to wake up from their rest in the darkness and carry out their daily rituals, whatever that consisted of really. Shopkeepers were opening shop, barkeeps were opening their bars, beggars were hobbling onto the streets, children were going to school, the land and the people within were coming to life. It was also another day for the shinobi of the hidden village. A new day meant a new set of tasks. A new day meant new missions! Zaiaku, a Genin of Iwagakure no Sato, had awoken from his slumber and had already taken off with a goal clear in his head. It was time to complete the mission assigned to him.

The task seemed simple enough, he pondered whilst walking down the streets of Iwagakure as more and more people began to flood out of their homes. He was heading out of the gate to the city of Bakudon Gai, a city in Tsuchi no Kuni separate to the hidden village. The city acted as a neutral trading post for the land, filled with merchants that came across the land and outside to gather and trade their various goods with each other. Zaiaku was given the task to deliver a package from the Kage's office. It contained the 'secret ingredients' for the creation of produce for Iwagakure. It was important that Zaiaku delivered the package to the right person, otherwise the secret would get out and there would be a lot of very unhappy businessmen after Zaiaku.

He believed it to be wise to make use of his kekkei genkai in this trip. He had a pouch of five clay blobs on him, but he didn't want to waste any of them. He had recently learned a technique that allowed him to break down the minerals in large stones and transform them into blobs of clay. He felt it appropriate to do this in order to create more blobs of clay, especially since he lacked a large sum of funding to pay for more clay blobs. It would also be something he could do to waste time whilst he walked to the city. Thus, as he walked out of the village gates at Iwagakure no Sato, he headed off to a nearby collection of large stones. Finding one large in diameter, around 30cm around, Zaiaku placed his left palm on the rock and began to break it down into a blob of clay as he walked. His backback was tightly strung around both shoulders as he walked. Within it lay the secret ingredient that the merchants of Bakudon Gai required. He really hoped that he would have a convenient trip. No distractions. Hah, yeah right.

Nendo Keishiki (Clay Formation) ¹⁵⁰
Rank: C, B
Type: Supplementary/Bloodline Technique/Ninjutsu
Range: --
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid
Special: While time for a rock to turn into clay is forcibly shortened, process still takes a full two turns at 'C' Rank, and one turn at 'B' rank. The user must keep at least one hand on the rock at all times. A rock with a diameter of 30cm would be the equivalent of 1 blob of molding clay.
Description: Clay is naturally made through long periods of time, which involve weathering away at rocks. For people who use clay for battle or crafting this can be a hassle to wait for. With this jutsu, the user can take any decent sized rock nearby about the size of their palm(or if they have a method of pulling a chunk of earth from the ground), they can use their chakra to speed up this process. Their chakra working miracles as the rock will wither away before their eyes, turning into clay. Once the process is done, it will possess the properties of any piece of clay naturally made. This can be conventional for Kibaku-Nendo members in need of clay.
Domain: Kibaku-Nendo

He could feel the pressure build in the mouth in his palm as it ate away at the rock he was holding with his other hand. As he walked, he noticed that slowly by the second the rock was beginning to break down bit by bit as it was consumed by his hand-mouth. As he walked, he took time to enjoy the scenery around him. It was rare that he would venture out of the village and head down to this part of the land. He had never really taken the time to explore the land and it would be the first time that he came to this place. Tsuchi no Kuni was renown for its large natural stone structures that were scattered across the land. It was a barren terrain of rocks, much like a large scale mine. Although not much, it was the place he called home. Only a few would admire it's beauty though, others would just see it as a million rocks scattered across one large area. It was beautiful.

Without noticing, his mouth had already chewed up the contents of the rock and began to lick around his palm. Spitting out a blob of white clay, Zaiaku felt it appear in his left palm and admired the blob whilst trudging across the terrain. The basis of all of his techniques. One small piece of clay could be turned into a large scale explosive that could blast a limb off an individual. He wondered whether if on this trip he would have to detonate his bombs. He had never really had a 'true' target to explode. In the academy, when he was younger, he would of course only be allowed to practise his bombings on wooden training dummy's. He felt that with his transition into a Genin, he would get the opportunity to at least explode another human being.

He walked off the track back onto a nearby field of rough boulders. Placing the clay mould that he held in his right hand into his right pocket, he then began to inspect the area for the perfect stone. He needed to create more white blobs just incase there were any unexpected visitors. It was good that the pathway to Bakudon Gai was filled with large clumps of stones. Nothing was better than doing something to pass your time by on a long walk. Grabbing onto a rock, nearly the same in size that he had picked up before, Zaiaku placed it in his right hand and held it against the hand-mouth in his left palm. From there, the mouth began to chomp away at the stone again. He walked at a brisk pace, keeping an eye on the area around him. As there was many large stone pillars across this land, potential gangs of highwaymen could be lurking there. Especially since he was carrying a rare package, it was a high chance that someone could actually jump out. He just prayed the person would at least have the decency to strike from the front!

So far so good. No distractions along this fine way on this fine day. His left hand was busily chomping away on the rock as he continued to pace himself along the track to Bakudon Gai. He was actually getting close enough that he could see the large stone structures of the city in the distance. The walk had been quicker than he had expected, or that all this consumption of stone in his hand had just taken his mind off the distance he was walking. Soon enough, like previously, the mouth in his left palm had fully consumed the stone he was holding. Another clay blob then popped out of the mouth into his palm. He inspected it quickly before slotting it away in his right pocket with the other one. He had two blobs now, and that's all he needed for the perfect defence. He could create his C1 just incase anyone unexpected came after him. If someone were to jump out at him, they would experience the explosive power of the Kibaku-Nendo first hand!

As he walked and admired the ability of his bloodline limit, he was completely unaware to what was occurring around him. Two goons had noticed him along the path when he strayed off the road previously and were tailing him since then. They had recently gotten word that the 'package' was being sent from Iwagakure no Sato to Bakudon Gai. They had also heard that only a mere Genin was entrusted with the special contents of the package. Giggling to themselves, they tailed the guileless Zaiaku down the track toward Bakudon Gai. The further he got away from Iwagakure, the less chance they had of any Chuunin and Jounin interrupting them whilst they attempted to steal the package off the teenage boy. It sounded like a simple job, and the reward was high for them. Why wouldn't they go for it? It was only a Genin they had to mug. What could he possibly do?

They had to wait for the right moment to strike. Too soon and they could end up with an ANBU for Iwa bouncing on them, too far then the town watch at Bakudon Gai could notice what they were doing. Sliding between the pillars of stone, they tracked the innocent Genin of Iwa as he played with something in his left palm. Suddenly they believed he had walked far enough. It was a fair distance between both points. Now was the time to strike on the prey!

The unsuspected Zaiaku suddenly heard a slight whirlwind in the air over his left shoulder as a single stone flew past his head and landed in the opposite direction. Suddenly he flung around with his right hand in his pocket and left hand out on guard. Two men proceeded to leap from behind a large pillar and stand at either sides of the path, cutting him off from both escape points. "You've got what we want boy. Hand it over and we won't have to hurt you," one of them on his left said whilst stroking a rather large katana on the ground. His grip on t was slightly off, so Zaiaku assumed that he couldn't probably wield it and possibly found it abandoned in a forest somewhere.

"If you really want to do this guys, you can become my first real-life test dummies. Have you ever seen fireworks before?" Zaiaku questioned them after gripping the contents in his right pocket and clapping both his palms together. From there, his left hand began to slowly consume the blobs of clay and transform them into deadly explosives. The two goons looked at each other confused and wondered whether Zaiaku was playing games with them. Had they seen fireworks before? What could he mean? They would soon find out.

His ability in his Kibaku Iritsuku (Clay Infusion Point) allowed for his mouth to chew up the bits of clay with ease. Although Zaiaku was merely a Genin, he knew his bloodline techniques very well and could use them to heavily gain advantage in a fight. After all, it was something he was born with. As if it wouldn't be second nature to him by now. Zaiaku grinned heavily as the two surrounding him slowly started to edge closer and closer with their weapons drawn. They wore ragged clothes, thus possibly resembled some folk that lurked in smaller villages outside Iwagakure no Sato. Obviously poor, they looked for work in any area just to make some more money. Sometimes though, crime was the easiest escape. But with crime came consequences, and sometimes those consequences resulted with the death of an individual. Zaiaku had never killed someone before, and didn't believe these two deserved death. But it was hard to control his explosions; they were designed to bring death and destruction.

Zaiaku let out a laughter as the two edged closer. The bombs that he made with his C1 jutsu blasted about a 5 metre radius. The closer they got together, the easier it would be to hit them with all the bombs at once. He had trained his proficiency to create at least eight bombs with two blobs of clay. Eight bombs would definitely do the trick on these two. His hand slurred as it continued to mix the bits of clay within the mouth and transform them into bombs. "Remember this day. Today you two will be the first to experience the bomber of Iwagakure. Tell everyone you come across and show them your scars. That is, of course, if you survive. Hehe," Zaiaku laughed as the two eyed each other off again. They continued to wonder what this kid could do. Could he back up these threats? Only time would tell.

"So I assume you're not going to hand it over. So be it! We didn't want to do this to you girl, you seemed like such a pretty thing. But now we're gonna have to hurt you," the other one who hadn't spoken before announced. He did not. He just referred to Zaiaku as a woman. Something that he despised. After those words came out, 'pretty thing', Zaiaku lost it. His face turned bright red and it seemed as though smoke was starting to chimney out of his ears in fury.

"What the fuck did you just say!? I'm a man you idiot!" These guys were definitely going to get it now. Zaiaku's facial expression transformed from a rather enjoyed look to an extremely pissed off structure. His eyes were narrowed, a vein pulsated out of his forehead, and his face was as bright as a tomato. Toss aside the idea of the clay exploding, it looked as if Zaiaku himself was about to blow.

Kibaku Iritsuku (Clay Infusion Point) ³²⁵
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Special Bloodline Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: --
Special: Determines the speed at which the Kibaku-Nendo creates their explosive clay. When attempting to mold a creation of clay ranked higher than the user's highest rank in this technique, a creation time penalty is incurred in the form of a single turn for every rank the creation is above the user's highest 'Clay Infusion Point'.

[/b]
'S' - 1/4th of a turn[/ul]Description: Though it is crucial the clan member awakens their hand-mouth in order to even have a shot at mastering the Kibaku-Nendo clan techniques, with time and practice, they can get faster and faster at making their explosions, regardless of the clay's size, shape, or rank of explosion. In the end, once the mouth grows comfortable chewing on a certain piece of ranked clay, it will surely create the next one in less time!

Kibaku-Nendo • C1 "Shī Wan" (Exploding Clay • C1) ³²⁵
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Special Bloodline Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid Low.
Special: Creates small bombs for short-range and/or quick combat. Explosive power and distance that creations can travel is determined by the user's highest 'Kouguchi Bakuha' rank; creation time is determined by the user's highest 'Kibaku Iritsuku' rank. When first learned, up to 2 small bombs could be created from a single clay use; each rank above 'D' adds 2 more bombs created per clay use each time. C1 explosions cover a 5 meter radius. Requires 1 standard clay blob.
Description: Simple but deadly, this effective combat technique allows the clan member to use their clay to fashion creatures and animals capable of bearing their unique Bakuton chakra. After withdrawing a bit of clay from their pouch, the clan member will use either hand-mouth in the palms of their hands in order to consume the it, in the process infusing it with Blast chakra. The result are these small animated clay-dolls that often resemble animals and insects of nature. Best of all? Depending upon which variation is created, they will retain the abilities of the creatures they where modelled after - i.e. those resembling birds can still fly, those resembling fish can still swim, those resembling insects can still crawl on surfaces, etc.

The bombs were complete. The mouth in his left hand spat out a group of eight small blobs of clay. This technique allowed the clay artist to mould the little pieces of clay into a variety of shapes. Many chose to use animals like spiders, bugs, and birds. Although not concentrating by his inner rage taking over control over his body and all he wanted to do was send a swing of fists into the faces of these two men, he was able to create small spiders with his hand before it was spat out. He took four in his right hand and four in his left. He would wait for them to come closer and closer. Right now they were at least four metres away from his body. In the next couple of seconds, they would be in the right area. An angered scream came out of Zaiaku as the two goons waited one more moment before engaging. "You fuckers are going to get it! No one calls me a woman! I'm a man god damnit!"

The two of them shrugged at each other and screamed at Zaiaku in response. With their blades raised in the air, they engaged on the Genin of Iwagakure who continued to stand there with his arms by his side. As the two blades came close toward his head, you could tell that each of the men resisted slightly when it came to the strike. They obviously weren't killers, just robbers. They just wanted money, not the death of someone. But this was the last resort. The package that Zaiaku held in his backpack would open up an avenue of riches to the both of them. No longer would they sleep in wooden shacks, no longer would they eat plain old duck everyday. They would sleep within the big city in a two-story house. They would wear elegant gowns and eat exotic foods like crocodile whilst a maiden served them grapes by the fireplace. They prospered the good life.

In an instant, Zaiaku dropped the bombs in both hands down by his sides. As the bombs slowly drifted to the floor, he flicked his hands into a single seal and chanted "Shunshin no Jutsu!". He flickered his body through the air after channeling his charka. Proceeding 10 metres away from the pair and the bombs he just dropped. He faced the two as they confusingly stared at the empty space that remained in front of them, as well as the bits of white clay that were slowly drifting to the floor. From there, Zaiaku flicked his right hand into a single seal and recited the magic word. "Katsu!"

Boom. That was it. The codeword for the explosion. No countdown was necessary for these bombs. As soon as the bomber was ready, they were ready to go. Chakra flared out from his body out into the clay moulds 10 metres away. The detonation word gave the all clear It was time for the big bang. Ripples were sent through the air as the bits of white clay exploded one after the other. The two men standing nearby were caught in the direct impact zone. Immediately the bombs ripped into their bodies and flung them across the area, both sent in the opposite directions they were standing in. The majority of their clothes were ripped from their bodies. Both of them remained unconscious on the ground after the explosion. All that was left was a single boy of Iwagakure with his right hand in a single seal. Panting, Zaiaku peered over to the bodies as the cloud of smoke slowly faded. Motionless. It was beautiful. It was art.

Range: 0 - 10 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Low
Special: Shunshin no Jutsu is a high-speed movement in which the user moves in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunshin no Jutsu can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. Shunshin no Jutsu can be used once per thread, plus once more each time it is retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it simple combines high mobility with a distraction to give off the appearance of vanishing - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to.
Domain: Shunshin - Universal Ninjutsu.

Zaiaku clenched both fists, crouched his knees and began to cheer. He had finally done it. The first time he had tested his explosives against people, and it was great. Just as exhilarating as he expected it to be. Nothing was better than seeing their bodies fly through the air like rag dolls. Unconscious on impact and they just flew through the air with no control whatsoever. Zaiaku regained control over himself. All the angered impulses within him that were generated from the previous comment that Zaiaku was a woman were now long gone. The excitement gained through witnessing an explosion like that completely filled his mind. He was overwhelmed at the power that his little clay moulds had, and the destruction they could bring.

Suddenly, he was phased back into reality. He quickly checked that his backpack had not been damaged in that explosion. Check. It was all good. He turned his gaze back to the unconscious men. Zaiaku slowly crept up to the closest one to him. He placed his finger tips against the man's neck to feel his pulse. There was one. He wasn't dead. That didn't matter. All that matted was that he had finally created a pure form of art. He remembered when he was younger. Those who shared his ability were always so obsessed with art. Art this, art that. They always talked about it being a bang. Now he finally understood what they meant. This was a form of art, and it definitely was a bang. But he had a job to finish, and he couldn't sit here all day and wait for more goons to come up on him. Completely disregarding the unconscious bodies, Zaiaku gripped the straps of the backpack firmly and proceeded toward the entrance to Bakudon Gai.

On arrival to the village he was greeted by a merchant who awaited for him at the front gate. Removing the package from the backpack and checking the identification details of this merchant, Zaiaku deemed the authorisation clear and handed over the goods in the backpack. He had finally completed his first mission for the Tsuchikage. He looked around at the large city he had just entered. Groups of merchants with their donkeys loitered everywhere, screaming at one another and trying to find the best deal for their goods. It seemed like a busy life. It was good to see professions outside of the usual thing he expected. Back in Iwagakure sure there was a market district, but it was nothing like this. Zaiaku for once appreciated being a shinobi. Although he was always destined to die for his village and the people, it sure seemed a lot more interesting than standing in an area and yelling at people all day. After delivering the contents of the goods, Zaiaku headed back to Iwagakure no Sato. It was time to hand the successful mission in at the Tsuchikage's office and claim his reward!
