It was a very cloudy day, the clouds roaring with promises of the rain to come. Nushi was in a particularly bad mood, which had very little to do with the weather. No matter how many times eh tried, he could not get the stone to replicate and couldn't create new stone himself without creating a specific jutsu, almost as if the stone were spiting him. He, of course, knew this was not true. The stone had apologized to him over and over for the inconvenience it had caused him.

If only there were some way to know exactly what I had to do to make each new jutsu, it wouldn't be so hard... he said to himself.

An hour later, Nushi had a brilliant idea for a new jutsu. Something with a very large area of effect. He went through diferent sets of hand seals, and nothing was working the way he wanted. He tried different numbers of hand seals, and finally realized he would need at least seven to do this one. Great, so I'm gonna need Banjaku to do this easily.

He laid back and thought of he different combinations of seven seals. There were hundreds to choose from, and only a few that might work.

Looking up at the dreary clouds, Nushi tried to figure out the seven seals. This was not going to be easy, as Banjaku couldn't just tell him. The sentient sword itself needed to know the seals in order to prevent his master from needing them. Nushi was exasperated at the sword's spirit, but he knew it wasn't Banjaku's fault.

He stared into the clouds, and saw what looked like two hands forming a seal. This was a rare occurrence for clouds to look like that, so he took it as a sign for the first seal.

Having figured out the first seal, the jounin-level missing-nin from Iwagakure concentrated on finding the second one. He tried forming the first seal and then each seal after, looking for one that felt natural. He found this, then looked for the third seal. Looking around, he saw a rock that vaguely resembled the "Tora" seal, so he did this next and it felt right. He was amazed at the symbolism around him, but when he looked back at the rock, it no longer resembled the seal, just a normal rock.

Three seals down, four to go, Nushi thought to himself. He experimented for the fourth as he had done for the second, and found another one that felt "right". The fifth just wouldn't come to him though, and he decided to look for another sign, yet after fifteen minutes, found none. So he tried a new approach. He lifted a lot fo rocks, twirling them around each other, and let them drop. Amazingly, they formed the kanji for "Dragon" when they fell, and he tried the sequence, finding it felt right.

The sixth seal was much more difficult to figure out than the rest. A full two hours of trying to figure it out left him worn out and frustrated. Why won't it come to me!?! he mentally screamed at Banjaku. He didn't expect a response, but one came. Perhaps you are trying too hard, master. Maybe if you go soak your feet in the pool and relax, you will be in a more receptive state for signs. As usual, the sword was probably right. He went over and removed his sandals, letting his feet enter the icy water.

It was refreshing just laying there for an hour, hsi feet submerged in his own self-made water pool. After half an hour he had pulled up his pantlegs and submerged his legs up to the knee. The cold water helped him relax, and after the hour he even submerged his head to completely refresh himself. He brushed the hair from his face and looked upon the cliffside to see another handsign, and when he combined it with the first five, it felt right and proper.

Only one more to go... he thought to himself as he walked back to the cave.

fyodor666

He was now on the seventh and final seal. He knew this one would be even harder to figure out than the last, and that even if through experimentation he got it right, it would not work until he knew it was right. This jutsu would require him to force the chakra out while doing it. It would test the limits of his mind and make him a better person for it.

When he stepped up to his fire pit, the fire was now mere embers, and he was more than a little shocked to find the form of a seal made of embers.

fyodor666

Nushi's mind raced as he formed all seven at once and forced chakra out. It flowed into the ground like a stream flowing into a lake. Ten short, thin pillars rose around the fire pit. Hardly what he was trying for, but every good jutsu hit some snags. It was then that he realized that the seal was not what he thought it was, but something similar. Turning around and forming the seals again with the new one in place, his chakra flowed more freely. Ten thicker, taller pillars rose, and though they were still nothing spectacular, he knew what he had to do.

Nushi was almost too excited at his progress. He was getting tired now, as it was getting late. He went to bed and slept for a full ten hours, waking up to the smell of a fresh morning. He hastily ate some jerky and a fruit bar, then stepped outside to sontinue his work. He had calmed down considerably since the night before, and his mind was now more open to new ways of molding the flows of his chakra. He found a new area, and started off again, ready to finish this jutsu.

fyodor666

Nushi was confident in his ability to finish the jutsu this day. He was stronger now than ever before, and he would not quit until victory was his. He formed the seven seals of the jutsu, molding his chakra into the ground and producing similar results to the night before. This has been his intention, and now he did it again, molding the chakra a little differently. The pillars formed this time were a little higher and thicker, and he did this three more times, producing escalating results.

fyodor666

Nushi flowed the chakra out one more time, and finally had the results he sought. The pillars were ten feet high, and two feet thick. The diameter of the circle they formed was about twenty feet wide, though he knew the circle could be bigger or smaller if he learned to control it properly. He focused now on making it do what he wanted. He struck the ground with two hands, but to no avail. Ten times he tried this, trying to make the jutsu work, but without any success.

fyodor666

He was getting very frustrated now, and he went over to a failed post and struck it with his bare fist. It shattered in all directions, some pieces flying at him and other everywhere else. He braced himself for the impact, as that was all he could do, but no impact came. He looked to see liquified stone in puddles in front of him. It seemed the stone he created didn't want to hurt him, so it melted rather than do so. This gave Nushi an excellent idea as to how to use this jutsu in conjunction with Banjaku.

fyodor666

After fifteen minutes of mulling his new information over, he still had no idea as to how he could get every one of the ten pillars to shatter simultaneously. He experimented on the other failed posts, and managed to strike the ground in a spot that made sometimes five shatter at once, but it wasn't good enough. He kind of regretted not going to see the Otokage when requested to. Then it hit him, and the Otokage was helping him now. Otogakure shinobi used sound waves to attack...

fyodor666

Nushi positioned himself in the very middle, and clapped his hands together. He forced chakra into the sound waves, and each pillar let out a distinct ring. He then released the chakra bursts that had dispersed themselves through the pillars, and BAM, the pillars shattered simultaneously. Each shard melted on contact with him, and others embedded themselves deep in the mountains. This jutsu would be very destructive to anyone inside other than him, and even to some outside.
