Futhering Chakra Control!!!! Part 2

Shadow wakes up early the next morning, the sun rising just up over the trees in the area. Laying on the grass, his feet and ankles soaked through to the skin from having the lake's water wash up on them, he looks up at the sky, still able to see some stars dotting the sky here and there. He sits up slowly, testing his body as he does so. Well, it seems like I'm almost up to full again. He says to himself. About that time, a loud rumble comes from his stomach, which starts twisting and turning. He grabs his stomach, Oh man, it's been almost a full day since I ate anything. I better get back to the village and eat. I've pretty much got what I was trying down anyway. He says to himself.

He stands up all the way, a bit wobbly, but good to go still for the time. Well, I guess I'll have to walk back across the lake. I suppose I could memorize a set pattern of water and run straight across...that might work, or I hope it does. I don't think I'd be able to swim that far then have to walk to town, and jumping that far is out of the question. He thinks to himself. He does a bit of stretching, then closes his eyes, looking across the lake towards the shore. He looks down a straight line towards the shore, memorizing the chakra pattern and judging his own speed. He makes a set pattern and calculates how long it will take to get to each place and how often he has to wait to change his own chakra flow.

He channels chakra to his feet, and focuses hard on the set pattern he made for himself. He takes a breath and takes off across the lake at full speed. He keeps focus on his feet and and keeps a continous flow of shifting chakra in his feet that matches each part of the water that he saw. After running for a short bit, he gets fairly close to the shore. Instead of worrying about keeping his balance and staying above water while running, he goes ahead and takes a running leap for the shore. He goes flying through the air, and hits the ground, rolling forward to stop his momentum. He lays flat out on the ground as the roll stops, panting slightly.

He struggles, taking several more strained steps. The steps themselves are easy, but the strain on his mind from focusing the chakra to the same place over and over in a certain flow is tiring him greatly. He is now very close to the island, and he can, like seeing it out of the corner of your eyes, see the chakra of the island. He puts all his focus into his feet, thinking of absolutely nothing else, sweat drenching him now. He focuses as hard as possible, putting the most precise amount of chakra possible to his feet.

Sweat is covering his face now, but he ignores everything around him except the water, focused on getting farther and farther. He takes several more steps, making sure each step is going to land in the right spot and the chakra flow will be correct. 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. That…was…too much. I didn’t think that I could use my hands to keep afloat, it was a lot easier to stay on the water like that though since it is easier to channel chakra to my hands. He says to himself, panting heavily now, sweat running off him. He lays back on the grass, just at the edge of the water, his feet touching the edge of the water just barely. His eyes close and he dozes off, his chakra reserves now almost drained to nothing

He focuses again on the lake’s chakra. He sits there for several minutes, just studying the water’s chakra over and over again. After the watching he sees that the chakra patterns repeat, and change as it moves out over the lake. He watches the flow a little longer, just to make sure he isn’t making some kind of mistake. He nods to himself as he finishes watching, then makes a hand seal. 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 has now been focused like this for at least 10 minutes, the strain starting to show on his body. Sweat begins beading up again and dripping off his face. He stops, panting slightly, but not letting his mind stray from focusing on his chakra flow and the lake's. He takes some more steps, each step getting harder and harder to maintain his focus. The water's chakra flow shifts, and he almost slips under, but just barely manages to change his chakra flow to match in time.

Without even realizing it, he takes a step onto the soft grass of the small island. The surprise makes him lose his focus, and he falls face first to the ground, landing in the plush grass. He chuckles softly to himself, Heh...I...did it... He says weakly as he blacks out and drifts off into a deep sleep, the water from the lakes flowing up to his ankles.


Wow, that was a bit harder than I thought it was going to be. No way I could pull something like that off in battle for any long period of time. Maybe land on the water at best, no way I could move around on the water like that. He says to himself. He stands up and starts walking towards the village. As he is walking, there is a sharp pain directly in the center of his forehead. He stops and hisses, his hands moving up over his forehead. He closes his eyes, the pain so sharp, feeling like it is going on forever. In reality, the sharp pain only lasts for a couple seconds. He opens his eyes and shakes off the pain. What the hell was that? He thinks to himself. He shrugs it off as mental stress from the training, and continues on to the village.
