BAD MOON ☾ RISING
an open interaction thread.

The dark sacred night covers the skies of Kumogakure once more. A plethora of glinting stars peek out from behind the drifting clouds. Cold tendrils of air sail through the city, brisk and enlivening to the senses. It is during this particular night that the red-headed warrior known as Atlas ventures out onto the boulevard for a smoke, headed nowhere in particular. Just biding his time. Tonight just seemed like one of those times for wayward travel and random encounters. And he couldn't keep his mind off the upcoming Chuunin Exams, so sleep was hardly an option just yet. He'd probably need to knock back a few before it got to that point. A sigh escaped his lips. He hated realizing that he was just as much of a smoking, drinking and gambling degenerate as his father.

But perhaps, someday, he could change all that. Lighting up his cigarette, he would stop and lean over a metal railing bordering an empty dock. Green tinted water sloshed and churned along its sides like a bowl of thick pea soup. Darkness dwelt in its depths, masking the mysterious unknown beneath. The Cloud ninja would take a drag of his cigarette and smile. Standing there, over that fathomless mass of Adam's ale, only made him remember how inexperienced he was with the element. Suiton... he'd never got around to working on that a bit more, had he? Oh well. He was only one man, after all.

Bored with the excessively cold setting, he'd turn and head off, back onto the boardwalk and towards a lit building in the distance. Activity this late at night? He'd rarely seen it in Kumogakure. The establishment in question peaked his interest, needless to say. As he approached it closer, he took close notice of its features and discerned its purpose and business in trade. It was a two-story tavern with glass windows, wood flooring and walls, bat-wing doors and a sign that proclaimed it as, "Hoku's Pub". People laughed and conversed with one another inside, some of them playing darts, others playing pool, others just drinking and singing songs. All sorts of harlots, dregs, scallywags, riffraff and undesirables. Taking the night and making the most of it.

They weren't exactly his sort of people, but Atlas would stride through those bat-wing doors nonetheless. Scanning the interior with his optics for only a moment, he would make a beeline for the bar and hop onto one of the stools from behind. He was bound to wet his whistle sooner or later, right?

Three whiskeys and a beer later. The insomnia was still there, the restlessness, the urge to do something worth doing. The music in the pub he was in was starting to get bad, and he suddenly felt stifled and hot. Whether this was the doing of the alcohol or not, he didn't know. But staying there any further was no longer an option he preferred. So he promptly hopped off of his stool, paid the bartender, and walked out, hands dug deep into the recesses of his jacket pocket. A cool sigh was released when the chill of Kumogakure embraced him once more. If there was nothing to do, no one of importance to meet, then he would get to training. No point in wasting time while the Chuunin Exams got closer everyday.

His boots would rap against the pavement of the streets as he walked, stopping halfway across a wide bridge, one that rose over a river that cut straight through Kumogakure. The bridge was empty, alone. There was a lot of space to train for the technique he intended to learn. And though the danger of falling off its side and into the depths of the cool blue water below was present, he was too lazy to continue over the bridge and find a better training spot. He'd train here. He was set upon it. So without another hesitation to keep him from doing so, he began his training for the Jakura technique.

He started with a simple warm-up, stretching his aching limbs and exercising his chakra flow mentally. He didn't want to rush into anything too recklessly, especially after having stressed himself out just recently. The Jakura, otherwise known as the Lightning Sparrow, would require as much, if not more, focus as the other jutsu he'd learned. The creation of raw electricity was one thing... the creation of life-like sparrows were another. His chakra would have to be even and precise, and the element of lightning obedient to his desires.

Holding the tiger seal, he revved up his electric chakra from within, sparking it to life in a jolt fueled with groggy determination and anticipation. It sent shivers throughout his body, which in turn forced him to stand up straight and fully wake up. With the power of electricity rippling steadily from within, he released the hand seal he held, only to spread his hands apart and quickly clamp them back together, reissuing the tiger seal, followed by the dog, and topped off with yet another tiger. These movements were done swiftly and without error, and Atlas cracked a smile at his progress. After all, his 'loving' and long-lost parents had taught him the hand seals years ago- not the Academy. And now he was using that same knowledge to learn a jutsu he'd been informed about by the same people. He'd have to remember to thank the pair the next time they met.

Atlas closed his eyes, using the final tiger seal as an anchor for his concentration, and started to focus on the qualities of the typical sparrow. First thing he saw? A curvy and well-toned brown beak, curved downwards at its tip, with slight dents indicating the presence of nostrils. Then beady black eyes, blinking and ominous, always darting from one thing to another. A ruffle around the base of its neck, followed by a pair of flapping wings and smooth chestnut brown feathers. A sprout of them, creating what constitutes as a tail for birds, and wrinkly gray feet. There it was... the sparrow.

With the electricity that gathered within, he would create an artificial replica. But exactly how much could he replicate? How many could he hold? He wondered while slowly releasing the electric chakra from his body, crackling the air around him with sparks and sharp blue flickers of light. He felt the presence of one as it materialized in the air via his thoughts, but didn't dare open his eyes just yet. Its chakra structure was still unbalanced, and he didn't want to risk surprising it with a spike of joy or disappointment. He needed to be patient, and gauge his limit, just like he'd done with the other techniques, with the element of electricity. So he continued.

Slowly, more sparrows began to materialize around him. He could feel them nearby, their presence made known with the continuous sounds of snaps, crackles and pops. Live electricity, electricity he still had difficulty forming. He could feel the chakra trying to form a sparrow's head, only to abruptly blow its effort with a stray strand of lightning. It kept on doing this as he focused, disobedient and ill-tempered. Atlas unconsciously gripped the tiger seal tighter in his frustration, but used that feeling to assert his control over the element. It would do what he said... he wasn't going to take the role of partner any longer. Now was the time to teach it who reigned over who.

The electricity present in the air around him seemed to shiver at the thought, at the confidence that suddenly radiated from the ambivalent shinobi. It pulsed angrily, nearly tripping Atlas' focus off balance, but he held his ground. The lightning had a tendency to bully others... and Atlas was determined to push right back. He forced it into the forms of five sparrows, chirping sharply like newborn chicks, before nearly popping a blood vessel in his effort to create a sixth. He didn't know if it came from his exhaustion only hours earlier, or whether fighting against the lightning had something to do with it, but for now, five sparrows would do just fine. Now he'd have to make sure if he could hold them. After all, creating them was one thing... keeping them in balance was another.

The electricity within cackled almost insanely when he slowly started to open his eyes.

Had he completed the jutsu?

Unfortunately for Atlas, he had not. The moment he opened his eyes, and gazed upon the beauty of the lightning sparrows upon the night sky, his little creations suddenly began to flicker violently and collapse. Like stars out in the expanse of the universe, they imploded and disappeared from existence. Atlas could feel the chakra connection he had with them fade away as they did so. As much as he tried to reinforce it, to pound a fistful of electrical chakra down its throat, to try and keep it alive, he could not. It was a lost cause, and the Cloud ninja was forced to quit his endeavor and rethink this whole thing. To come up with a plausible explanation for the failure of this technique.

He issued a ram seal to restart his taming of the electricity. Holding that famed seal still, he would gather it from the base of his spine this time, and gradually begin to smooth it out and expand it over his entire body. As he did this, closing his eyes as he had done before for better concentration and focus, he kept imagining a ball of electricity in his mind. Thunder strikes, thunder storms, the awesome power of lightning. The chakra around his entire body thrummed with the thoughts in his mind. Then, like something had suddenly clicked in his being, like a new door had been opened, an energy began to infest the chakra that he'd molded and held. His abilities as a sensor could see it. His chakra, once a cool yellow, was now turning a static blue color. He'd successfully gathered and tamed the electricity within his being. But now he had to keep it that way and put it to practice.

Instantly, he performed the string of hand seals needed to channel this electric energy and form it into existence as a visual being. He ended roughly on the tiger seal and flung his eyes open, looking up at a dark patch of night sky above. It was there where he decided he'd form his little lightning birdies. Where they'd come to life and chirp as they had done before. Somehow, he knew that his focus and visual lock-on on this particular space helped him in his endeavor to try this technique again. Like a small tendril of chakra was going there, attaching itself to the air, a connection to that space and an ignition for the sparrows that would manifest there. Otherwise, how or where else would the chakra go? Without a hint of Atlas' guidance, it would be a sporadic and unpredictable mess.

As he held that damn tiger seal, feeling the electric chakra buzzing around his body like a million centipedes crawling throughout his skin, he would begin to channel the violent power up his spine and into his arms, shoulders and head. Powerful as it was, he kept it controlled and balanced, so that it wouldn't fire back at him in any negative way. Out of all the things that needed doing, keeping the energy stable and tamed was his top-most priority. Having that sort of element backfire on you was never a good thing, and brought as much pain as it was supposed to bring the enemy at times. Set on not being electrocuted today, however, he would being to imagine the sparrows up there in that empty patch of dark sky. Fluttering, flapping translucent wings and crying out for action.

As he did this, he would use his mental connection with his chakra on a variety of different levels. Commanding it to stabilize, commanding it to emit, commanding it to make its presence known like it was some form of demon or hell spawn. But most of all, commanding it to adhered to all of his demands. His mental urges and willpower played a big part in channeling the electricity up into the sky and molding it into a group of sparrows. He hadn't been paying as much attention as he should have with it before. But now he knew of its importance. Glaring at the predetermined place where his sparrows would manifest, he could begin to feel the electric creeping towards it destination, heeding his demand and attempting to form its intended shape once more.

They floated in the air around him, five artificial sparrows made of pale blue lightning, crackling and sparking chaotically. He could feel that connection with them- something like a heartbeat, only erratic and pulsing on the temples of his forehead. He was connected with them by much more than just chakra. Together, they shared a psychic bond.

A consuming joy swept over him and the sparrows chirped in response to the feeling, wildly flapping their wings and electrifying the air. To test their abilities, Atlas pointed to the air and controlled the small group of ravens with his mind. The ravens answered his psychic call and darted upwards with a shriek, cutting through the low-hanging cloud and into the dark night sky. They danced in the moonlight as Atlas controlled them, smiling widely as he watched them from below. It was a beautiful sight to see, five bright blue forms of light flying around each other in the night air, glowing harmoniously together like overgrown fireflies.

Keeping their chakra levels in balance and controlling them was much easier than he'd thought, and he was unsure whether that meant he had potential or whether the jutsu itself was easy. Utilizing his psychic connection with them, Atlas compelled the sparrows to sweep down from the sky and fly around him in a spiral. He admired the detail they displayed up close, from the beady eyes to the wrinkly feet, before spinning around and pointing towards the bridge path. The sparrows spun around him once more, before darting off towards the ground in orderly unison, going so fast there seemed to be spaces missing from one moment to the next. They released shrill cries when they pummeled into the concrete, exploding into bright sparks of lightning and singeing the surface just a bit.

Glad he'd learned a new technique, but aware that it wasn't that much to be proud of, Atlas would saunter over to the edge of the bridge and lean against its railing- peering down at the vast quantity of water below. A sigh escaped his lips once more. Staring into the shadowy and lively abyss below, he wondered how things would turn out at the Chuunin Exams. Would he lose his life? Would he lose his friends? A tinge of guilt pierced his defenses, a tinge of fright. He knew he shouldn't have those feelings, those thoughts. He was a ninja now, damn it. But.. was it really necessary to have to push them away? After all, fear had kept him on his toes many times before. He really just wished he was a bit more confident.

He would remain leaning over the railing and peering down at the water for a bit longer. The static of the previous jutsu had left him slightly hot, and he wanted to cool off for a bit. Taking off the mask on the right side of his face, he would let the cool Kumogakuran air do its thing, and lose himself in his thoughts.

Baku Suishouha (Bursting Water Collision Waves)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 40 meters
Special: The waves are delivered through the user's mouth and proceed to rapidly flood out an entire area. When the user is ‘surfing’ the waves, their movement speed temporarily doubles. Flooding depends on how long the user spends time spewing water, and as a result, amounts are measured by height, width and length.

* Quarter turn spill: 10m x 10m x 10m
* Half turn spill: 20m x 20m x 20m
* Full turn spill: 40m x 40m x 40m


Description: Baku Suishouha is an offensive ninjutsu technique utilizing Suiton. After forming the needed handseals, the user will take a deep breath and appear to expel water from their mouth or gullet. This will then expand into a large volume of water, propelled forwards at high speeds, resulting in powerful initial blasting damage, as well as plenty of water to flood a small village, break down large barriers, or put out large fires. Lastly, if the user wishes, they can push a bit of additional chakra into their feel so that they can essentially walk along the water and even ride it as if they were surfing.

After a good half hour of resting and just plain clearing his mind, Atlas would straighten from his lean on the railing and glance around at the bridge. No one was in sight. Who would be, this late at night? He figured he'd spend what little time he had left till morning training on yet another technique. The one known as the Baku Suishouha. It'd be a bit risky, on the middle of a bridge, as big as it was, but he liked a little danger in his training anyway. Bolstered the excitement of learning it in the first place, and prepared him for the battles that were sure to come. So, after sensing the chakra in his body hum in perfect balance, he promptly began.

He positioned himself near the center of the bridge, placing his feet apart evenly and standing straight. Flexing his neck, as that was where most of the action would happen, Atlas made sure he was prepared both mentally and physically for the technique he was about to learn. He would have to utilize the element of water, so he mentally controlled his chakra to feel the surrounding environment. To get a sense where all the water present was. In the air, under the bridge, dotting its surface with teardrops from a recent rainstorm. All of these factors would prove to be useful in the upcoming endeavor. They could potentially fuel the technique with little to no chakra usage.

To tap into that water source and expel it from his gullet, Atlas would have to think this through first. He'd hardly ever dealt with a technique that needed to use one of his internal organs before, so he didn't know exactly how dangerous this was. And he definitely didn't want to explode from the inside due to an excess of water. He swiftly and effortlessly formed the needed hand seals, ending firmly on the dog seal. Then he turned his concentration towards the chakra that flowed through his veins. It thrummed and ached, confused as to where it needed to go and what it needed to do, it seemed. And Atlas found it hard to charge it up for the technique that was to come, as cold winds blew past the bridge at high speeds, interrupting his moment of reflection and learning.

In response to the cool chill sweeping through the air, Atlas sped up the process of gathering the chakra in his gullet and trying to form some sense of water from within. He could feel it bubbling inside, like some strange alien being ready to explode from the inside of his stomach. And he racked his mind with exactly how his stomach was going to produce the amount of water he'd seen in the television show, and how he was going to handle all that water exploding from his throat and out his mouth. Once the chakra within his gullet hummed with its fill, he concentrated on focusing the water element within to merge with said chakra. To inhabit its being and separate the H2o needed from stomach acid and such. He figured it couldn't be that hard anyway- it was common knowledge that the human body was made mostly of water, after all.

With that little thought in mind, he began to slowly surge the water upwards with the chakra he'd gathered. It was then that he noticed that he'd spent loads of time focusing on his gullet and water retrieval, but hadn't spent a single second prepping his throat and mouth for the endeavor. Exactly, how was he going to handle all that freakin' water? The television failed to mention anything about this. But he eventually came to the conclusion that somehow the chakra was involved in keeping his jaw straight and himself from drowning from within. Not that he entirely trusted his idea, but it was all he could go with at the moment.

Holding a mass full of water that would be the main source for a chakra-infused mega wave within his gullet wasn't a pleasurable feeling. But Atlas held it in anyway, gradually focusing some of his spare chakra towards his throat and mouth region. He didn't know exactly how much good that would do once he released his inner torrent, but he knew it would have some minimal effect at least. To prevent him from drowning and even injuring his throat. He could feel the chakra he was willing there creep upwards from his stomach, a tingling feeling on his moist skin. Then suddenly a tingling feeling on his throat. He would lock it there mentally for the water that would come. It would serve like a cannon, directing the water to ensure top notch capacity, speed and safety. Though it was the safety part Atlas was most worried about.

Without another thought, Atlas forced the chakra within his gullet to push the water upwards, simultaneously willing it to replicate the substance from within on a constant basis until the technique was over. First feeling he felt, was like something was lodged in his throat and he was going to throw up. Like he'd swallowed a light bulb headfirst and it was pushing its way upwards. Then he felt it release and shoot out of his mouth like a ferocious waterfall. Gallons upon gallons of water being spilled onto the ground and growing in quantity. But something was wrong. The water was simply splashing onto the ground, not gathering and forming into the killer wave it was meant to be.

When Atlas took notice of this, his concentration shook off balance and he found himself gagging on the water that escaped through his mouth. Then a drowning sensation occurred, and the panic struck him like a thunderbolt. Not only was his chakra out of control, but the remaining water in his gullet would take some time to escape. Which he meant he could very well drown to death during the time allotted. But he wouldn't let that happen. Despite the fact that the lazy half of his mind told him to just go with it. He would tighten his hand seal and focus on realigning the wild chakra, bonding with it to immediately force it to push out all of the remaining water. He would have used that chakra to 'shield' his throat once more, but found it nigh impossible to do so with that onslaught of water released from within.

With the last of the gathered Adam's ale released from his innards, Atlas began to cough and choke, gasping for much needed air and bending down double afterwards to catch those much needed breaths. He couldn't remember the last time he'd experienced that awful sensation- the sensation of drowning. And when the water you were drowning on was your own, the horror aspect seemed to have doubled. He definitely didn't want to experience that again, but would have to attempt the technique anyway, until he finally got it. He didn't have much of a choice in the matter. He needed to keep practicing to achieve this awesome wave. And the only person he could rely on to help him in that endeavor was himself.

So he would begin the process of this new technique all over again, but not before assessing his previous faults and making sure he had a contingency plan for them. He'd separated his chakra into his gullet, then into his throat and mouth when he realized he needed support there. But what he hadn't realized, was that emitting the H2o from his mouth safely was only the first part. He needed to emit that chakra-infused water and control it the instant it spotted daylight. Using even more chakra, it seemed. Chakra the universe just expected him to pull out of his ass, he guessed. Cause he was running low on the stuff to begin with dammit! So he set upon trying this out anyway, reminding himself that it was all about distribution and control. And hanging in there when things got difficult.

The necessary hand seals would be promptly performed. He would concentrate as he chakra began to gather. Concentrating on making it more reliable and equal to the texture and quality of the element of water. This chakra would surge throughout his entire body at the start, and there were moments when he felt like a being composed entirely of water himself. Those were the moments where he'd almost fall to his knees with the exhilarating and fluid feeling. But he hung in there, soon guiding a good chunk of that chakra into his gullet. And within his gullet, promptly after integrating his water chakra, he could feel something like a whirlpool spinning from within. Like it was weaving his chakra with the water he was about to expel. It was a rather strange feeling, one of tenderness and balance.

That feeling would disappear once he finished adding all the necessary chakra to his gullet and would be replaced with the typical sense of weight within his stomach. Right when he felt his sense, he would direct a slice of his chakra to his throat next, then focus all the rest on his mouth. The chakra focused there would serve as the chakra expelled into the water once it was released. The chakra that would give the water form and purpose, and allow him to control the energies residing in the water to begin with. These elements and precise locations would serve him well if balanced, and he would make sure to do his best once he got to it.

Before he did so, however, he focused a bit more on the balance of chakra and did one last thing. He would take deep breaths as he struggled to keep his water held for a bit longer, expanding his lungs and clearing his throat. His eyes were still a bit teary after his recent accident, and the desire to wipe them real quick was overwhelming, but he held in there. Tightening his held seal seemed to help, and focusing on the water that swirled within seemed to calm his nerves, too. All that was left to do was getting down to the nitty-gritty of the moment and giving this technique a run for its money.

So the water would be released and the technique attempted once more, this time with the reinforcement of chakra in all needed positions, filling in every crack of vulnerability Atlas could spot and take advantage of. The water surged through his gullet and up through his throat powerfully, like a beast clawing its way out of the depths of Hell. And he got through the uncomfortable feeling with pure willpower and concentration, trying not to gag once it reached his throat and exploded out of his mouth. Right when he felt the first drops of water trickle down his lips, he activated the chakra that he'd gathered previously around his mouth. He pushed it into the raging torrent the moment it escaped, and he controlled it trajectory and form with his mind.

Once the water that was expelled from his gullet touched the ground, his willpower shaped it into a whirlpool-like form. It would swirl around Atlas like it had done when he'd been learning other Suiton jutsu, and at first it was balanced, but the Cloud shinobi soon found himself having to put more and more concentration into keeping it stable. It would waver and toss around like water in a shaking bucket, as he continued to expel water from his mouth. As the last of the water within him was beginning to exit through his mouth, he diverted much of the chakra he'd stored within his gulllet towards and out of his mouth to help with the control. Soon it would be less about expelling the water safely and more about controlling what was present and made.

Baku Suishouha (Bursting Water Collision Waves)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 40 meters
Special: The waves are delivered through the user's mouth and proceed to rapidly flood out an entire area. When the user is ‘surfing’ the waves, their movement speed temporarily doubles. Flooding depends on how long the user spends time spewing water, and as a result, amounts are measured by height, width and length.

* Quarter turn spill: 10m x 10m x 10m
* Half turn spill: 20m x 20m x 20m
* Full turn spill: 40m x 40m x 40m


Description: Baku Suishouha is an offensive ninjutsu technique utilizing Suiton. After forming the needed handseals, the user will take a deep breath and appear to expel water from their mouth or gullet. This will then expand into a large volume of water, propelled forwards at high speeds, resulting in powerful initial blasting damage, as well as plenty of water to flood a small village, break down large barriers, or put out large fires. Lastly, if the user wishes, they can push a bit of additional chakra into their feel so that they can essentially walk along the water and even ride it as if they were surfing.
Domain: Suiton.

There! Finally! All the water had been released and he tightened his hand seal when he focused on the water swirling around him. It was at this point that, not only did he have to control it, but he also had to expand it. Multiply the quantity within the massive amount of water he had already supplied, then form it into a wave like he'd done with his previous technique. He started by accessing every particle of chakra he had stored in the water, and forming a tight bond with each every particle mentioned. Then, as the whirlpool surrounding him continued to swirl, he focused on getting that water to mingle and fall upon itself. In doing so, it would replicate and multiply upon itself and soon the whirlpool would grow in massive size.

He was doing good so far, he could feel the chill of the massive amount of water that surrounded him. It was weighing him down. But he was growing accustomed to the element of water now. He could feel it. And though he hadn't quite mastered the element just yet, he had a good feeling he would be doing so in the nearby future. This thought, this hope, this dream, raised his spirits. And it was with this spirit, that he would move on to the next phase of the technique. Mistakes would be made, and he would most likely screw the pooch a couple more times, but eventually, he was certain he would get the technique down.

The next step in this mentally exhausting phase was dispersing the whirlpool correctly and cautiously, until he formed a decent wave behind him. The way he saw it, if he wanted to hop onto and ride this wave, then he would jump on top of it. This would be done by forming the wave first, behind him, then compelling it to rush forward and under him. Sort of like other Suiton ninjutsu had been formed, only with more danger and risk of injury involved. See, for the Tidal Wave, all he needed to do was expand his chakra to protect him from being swept away. But for this little strategy, he would be focusing all of his chakra on his feet, to land safely on the water. If he didn't do it correctly, or if he was too slow, then he could very well be swept away.

He wrapped his concentration around his chakra-infused water and began to focus it into movement. Slowly the whirlpool around him began to unwind like a snake, slithering off behind him and gathering into what appeared like a large waterfall this time. It was only know that he realized the exact colossal amount of water he'd created, now that he was forcing it to compress and ultimately form into a wave. The legends of the Baku Suishouha had been true, this water was indeed capable of blocking off a whole sector of a neighborhood. It was heavy, and hard to control. He felt like he was pulling against a gigantic resistance, like he had ropes tied around Godzilla and he was trying to control it. He clenched his teeth and shoulders in an effort to strengthen his resolve.

The waterfall behind him suddenly began teetering. His efforts were going unnoticed and he was at the brink of screwing the whole operation. But then an idea came to mind. Without any fear or qualms, he lightened his grip on the chakra filled water and relaxed his shoulders. The artificial waterfall behind him did in fact fall, but it did so fluidly, swiftly rolling into the wide wave it was meant to be. Finally! The wave he was meant to ride stood behind him like an oceanic behemoth. He would direct his optics towards one end of the bridge, as he started to prepare himself to ride the wave.

He would do what he had planned to do next. To force the wave forward and jump on it, using the water walking technique he'd learned at the academy to keep him above the wave as it rushed forward. This had the potential to be epic, but could also result in horrible failure. All he could do was try, though. So he commenced the technique and did just that. He would ride the hell out of this wave, and he would leave the bridge in an epic display of ninjutsu. But things were easier said than done, and he made sure not to let pride blind his thoughts.
