Kakashi jumps through the trees making his way to the village hidden in the leaves. He stops at the highest tree and looks at the village. "for such a large village it looks tiny from here", he was on a C-ranked village with his fellow ninja Lee and Ino. The mission was simple, all they had to do was deliver a special message from Dan to Shadow. In the process they had to battle a few low ranked Chuunin for getting the paper. The prpblem was that they didn't know what they were guarding for they weren't allowed to look. It was getting dark and they could hardly go any further. Their position was just back from the border meaning they could still be attacked by ninja. Lee and Ino rested while Kakashi worked on his chakara control in the lake nearby.
He channels chakra to his feet, keeping his eyes closed as he moves out onto the water. He takes a step onto the water, a bit wobbly, and tries to keep his own chakra level moving around at the same pace as the water, being harder than he had thought it would be. He manages a couple more steps, before he loses track of how the chakra of the water is moving and he sinks down a foot into the water, soaking him up to his knees. He quickly moves out of the water, shivering slightly.
He channels his chakra yet again, moving out at the water's edge. He sets his foot down on it, and loses focus almost immediately, his foot sinking down before he jerks it back up. He wasn't paying enough attention.
He shakes the water off his legs, and makes a hand seal, closing his eyes. He focuses chakra to his feet and begins walking forward. His first foot steps on the lake with no problem. He takes another step, the water rippling out as his feet touch down.
He is now about six feet from the shoreline of the lake, but keeps his eyes closed, focused only on walking on the lake and the chakra of the water. He keeps a constant flow of chakra to his feet, which shifts at the same timing as the water’s. He manages to take a few more steps, ripples out from each footstep.
He is now about fifteen feet out from the shoreline, still a long ways from the center of the island, but not giving up either way.
As he goes to take another step, the strain is too much, and his concentration slips, causing his chakra flow to cut off for a moment, messing him up. He begins slipping into the water, but to save himself from going under, without even thinking about it, he channels chakra to his hands, which causes them to stick to the top side of the lake, making him sink up to his chest, but keeping the rest of him out as he holds himself up. He pants, keeping the chakra flow to his hand going, not wanting to have to swim back.
He channels chakra back to his lower half as he begins lifting himself up slowly. He manages to get back on his feet, then he just jumps up and back to the ground.
After using so much chakara he just wanted to rest and stay asleep for the rest of the night. ........................................................
