Tamotsu sighed and put is hands together. He poofed down to the ground and shook his head at Kodo. "Training is over for today. Asking you to rest would be foolish since you're already doing it. Stay here the night and I will return for you. Remember, if you move, you might get killed. And I really don't want my pupil killed just yet." Tamotsu sighed as he looked at Kodo resting. "Jaken! Let's go!" He yelled as the wolf came to him and he held him with one hand and disappeared in a blast of leaves.

ooc: Done...
ic: Kodo was dreaming peacefully within the ‘Forest of Death’. One would not believe this to be possible yet here he was lying on the ground within a deep slumber. His Sensei had left him for his own training. Kodo was unprotected from the dangers of the forest. His only defense was his trusted friend, Airazor. Airazor is large compared to most male Peregrine Falcons, and even the females of the species didn’t get that big, yet he was dwarfed by the many carnivorous animals that called this forest their home.
At this very moment Kodo’s mind is traveling the many passages of his subconscious. Hidden within these corridors lies many secrets about his past and the techniques of his forgotten clan. Kodo had his training on his mind when he drifted off to sleep. As such he was now dreaming about mastering this jutsu, the Kinobori. He rose to his feet and looked at his surroundings, they seemed to be accurate.
Kodo walked over to a tree and focused his chakra, this time he didn’t hold the Hitsuji hand sign as before. His chakra just focused all by itself into the souls of both his feet. He walked over to the tree. He placed the first foot on the base of its trunk and it stuck just fine. He shifted his weight and place the other foot a bit higher on the trunk. Both feet were now firmly planted on the trunk of this tree.
Outside of Kodo’s dream things were beginning to unfold. Airazor watch over Kodo’s body as he slept. He glared at the sleeping boy as strands of chakra randomly disperse from his body. As time passed the chakra disperses became more frequent. Each appearance started to last longer and overlap each other. Soon Kodo’s body was covered with his own chakra. Kodo’s sleeping form rose to its feet and walked over to the tree in his dream. His body cuffed his hands in the Hitsuji hand sign and his chakra focused itself to the souls of his feet.
Within Kodo’s dream he had made it half way up the tree and he was still walking. “This is easy as walking horizontally along a road.” Kodo thought to himself as he walked all the way up the tree. “I did it Tamotsu-sensei! I learned Kinobori!” Kodo’s own excitement awake him from his slumber. When he first awoke he thought it was a dream, yet couldn’t remember what it was he had been dreaming. What happened in his dream was lost to his conscious mind. That was until he found himself standing along the trunk of a tree about 30ft up. “What!?” Kodo lost focus and now found himself falling out of said tree… Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.

Kodo had to think quickly as his body plummeted to the ground below. Placing his hand in the Hitsuji hand sign he began building up his chakra. His chakra started to snake its way around his body until a smoke cloud engulfed Kodo’s form. The cloud remained stationary and a copy of Airazor flew out and landed safely on the ground. The same familiar poof of smoke engulfed the copy and Kodo was know kneeling on the ground.
“How did I get up in that tree, and where is Tamotsu-sensei?” Kodo was getting worried. He must have had another of his sleep walking spells. How he walked up a tree wile sleeping seems to escape him. How could he perform the Tree walk jutsu wile sleeping yet be unable to wile awake? Was Tamotsu-sen watching him from the shadows? It didn’t mater anyway. He was going to learn this jutsu in his waking life, and not just wile he’s sleep walking.
He knew what Tamotsu-sen said about having balance chakra within each foot. Kodo came to the realization that focusing chakra into each foot separately takes too much time, and was in effective. Yet if he were to focus the same amount of chakra into each foot then he would only have to fluctuate the amount just enough to release his foot from the tree. It would save time and effort. That is what Kodo set out to do.
He selected the tree that once held Tamotsu-sen within its canopy. It’s bark was ruff from previous attempts. “Tamotsu-sensei wanted me to climb this tree in order to pass my training and that is what I’m going to do.” Kodo held the Hitsuji sign once more as his chakra flooded the souls of his feet. Once Kodo felt that the chakra mount was adequate he rushed at the tree. Without even thinking his feet attached themselves to the tree and up it’s trunk he ran. Further and further until he had passed the halfway point. He was getting this jutsu and it came natural to him. Before long he had reached the canopy of the tree and rested on its surface..

Spoiler:
Renge Lotus
Rank:C {9 post without a teacher}
Requirements: Good Physical State
Description: Renge, a series of high-speed hand-to-hand combat moves. Because of its high speed and power it requires a lot of stamina and it strains the muscles. Should be used with caution.
Kodo looks down from the tree he just climbed. Well with this Jutsu learned I need a combat technique. Kodo looks to Airazor who returned to him with a scroll. Kodo opened the scroll to find a Taijutsu named ‘Renge Lotus’. “Well a fast Taijutsu could be just what I need. No more running from not so friendly forest creatures. It’s time I fought back.”
Kodo fully opened the scroll and read every word he could find. A fast Taijutsu that requires a good physical state. “Well that’s easy. I’m a fit as anyone in Konoha. Still it mite not be such a bad idea to increase my stamina and such to greater levels.” Kodo placed the scroll in his pouch and walked down the tree.
On his way down he had a thought. “First I will work on mental stamina. Increase my chakra levels.” Once on the ground Kodo sat cross-legged on the ground. He remained that way for several minutes. Once he had control over his mussels he moved his hands to the Tori hand sign. He didn’t know why he did it, he just did. Kodo kept his mussels perfectly still for hours as his chakra just fluctuated from area to area. He focused it into his feet, then his hands, his eyes and lungs. Making sure each area was strong with chakra flow before moving to the next. The chakra flow in each of the four areas would be essential for this jutsu to work perfectly.

Kodo had been sitting in the same position for over four hours. Not a single mussel did he move. The only motion was that of his chakra. It flowed freely throughout his body. When Kodo finally decided to move his mussels ached like nothing he’d ever felt. He had to strain just to move a finger. It felt like each one was many times heavier.
“Well this mite not have been such a good idea.” Kodo struggled to get on his feet. After trying several times he was able to stand tall… for about 5 seconds. “Well it looks like It is going to be more difficult then I thought.” Kodo sat on his butt for several minutes trying to move his leg mussels. Succeeding in getting some feeling back in his legs, he started on his arms.
After about an hour, he was able to move freely again. Jumping around, Kodo ran up one of the many trees then repelling of the top he sprints down another. “Well this is getting real dull fast. I need to think of a more entertaining way to train.” Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.

Kodo thought for a moment, “This Jutsu requires you to move fast. Well the fastest way to increase your speed is to run. Well I can’t just run around this forest for no reason.” Kodo pulled out one of his shurikens and slashed his arm with it. He knew that there were blood thirsty animals in the ‘Forest of Death’ and that they would smell the cut on his arm and come running.
Kodo waited for about twenty minutes before he heard a rustling in the bushes nearby. He waited patiently for what ever it was to come out. He had mixed emotions about what he’d done. He led a carnivorous animal directly to him. Suddenly this didn’t seem to be such a good idea. No he wouldn’t think like that. He was a ninja now a low level ninja, but a ninja none the less.
A Large leopard jumped from the bush and on top of Kodo. He struggled a bit but managed to place his feet directly underneath the large cat. Using his Kinobori training he focused chakra into his feet and placed them at the leopard’s ribcage. Focusing more chakra then what was necessary, Kodo pushed up with his legs and released his chakra repelling the cat off him. “Now it is time to run!”
Kodo quickly got to his feet and ran in the opposite direction of the Leopard. As expected, the leopard began chase. Kodo felt the large gashes on his arms and chest from the claws of his pursuer. He would be loosing a great deal of blood very quickly if he didn’t get them bandaged up. He would first have to loose this predator. Kodo grabbed some tree and started running up it. Once at a safe distance up in the canopy Kodo stopped to tend to his wounds.

Kodo pulled out a needle and thread and began to stitch up his wounds. He looked down from the tree to see if the leopard had left. Kodo found the leopard not far down from his current spot. “Great! I forgot that leopards could climb trees.” Kodo quickly finished up stitching his wounds. A crack job, but better then leaving them open to get infected. He took some bandage tape from his pack and wrapped his arms and chest with it.
With his wounds tended to, Kodo looked down to see the Leopard’s progress. It was now making its way up the rest of the tree. “Well I’m not going to wait here for you all day now.” Kodo jumped from his tree onto another then another before resting on one that was a bit away from the hungry leopard. “Well that was a hoot. Looks like the day is shot, we'll have to continue training in the morning.” Kodo waited for Airazor to return with a meal and they both ate in silence, before falling asleep for the night.
Kodo arose the next day before sunrise the same as he did every day. He checked the condition of his wounds and found them to be healing well. Perhaps he had some med-ninja skills hidden within him somewhere. It didn’t mater, he was training to learn the ‘Renge Lotus’ not medical Ninjutsu.
Kodo looked back at the scroll. “Let’s see. Jutsu needs good stamina. Well I may not be able to run to increase my stamina, but there are other ways to do so.” Kodo swan dived out of the tree to the forest floor below. When a large enough branch came within grabbing distance he used it to slow his descent. By the time he reached the forest floor he was traveling slow enough not to hurt himself on landing. Looking at the tree he’d just dropped from he got an interesting idea. “Looks like I found my training partner.” Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.

Kodo didn’t like water much; it is a mystery to him why. Perhaps something hidden within his past, what ever it was didn’t mater. He would have nightmares about drowning and that was enough to keep him away from any body of water he couldn’t safely stand up in. To his luck, the river wasn’t very deep, about 3feet or so. “First get clean, and then get to training.” Kodo didn’t have any soap on him, so the only thing he could do was scrub with his hands wile the water quickly flowed over him. Hopefully that would remove enough of the dirt.
Kodo scrubbed in his natural bath for about an hour before he felt he was clean enough. The sun was beginning to rise in the distance. “Well I guess I can’t sun-dry my body. I’ll have to let nature do that for me as well.” Kodo grabbed his clothes and ran up the closest tree to where the wind was blowing the hardest. It took great strength for him to be able to hold on to his flowing clothes wile still keeping his balance, wile the wind blew swiftly through the tops of the trees. After feeling his skin finish drying, Kodo climbed down from the tree and dressed for his day of training.
Kodo was now staring at his new training partner, the tree he had slept in the previous night. “I will strike this tree a hundred times with each of my hands. Then I will strike it a hundred times with each of my feet.” Kodo held the Tori hand sign, then focused on a single spot on the tree as his chakra began to accumulate within his hands. Kodo struck with his left hand cuffed in a fist then quickly pulled back and struck the tree with his right palm. “1…1…” Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.

Kodo had been striking this tree for what seemed like hours. “99… 99… 100… 100.” Finally he was finished with the first step of the combat part of his training. The rough bark took its toll on Kodo’s hands. The skin along each of his knuckles was split and bleeding. His palms and wrist were no different. Each part showed how hard Kodo had been hitting the tree, as well as how hard it was hitting back. “Now that I’ve struck the tree 100 times with both my hands it is time for my kicks.”
Kodo had already done the fist step of his training, which was to increase his stamina. He did this by focusing his chakra to different parts of his body and maintaining it wile keeping his mussels perfectly still, this was in two parts. The chakra focusing helped him channel his chakra at a faster pace. Ware by keeping his mussels perfectly still for an overly extended period of time caused them to become heavy and hard to move. When Kodo tried to move them they were straining almost if weights had been attached. The second part of the first step was to increase lung capacity. If Kodo couldn’t gather enough oxygen wile performing this jutsu, then his mussels would falter and make the jutsu not work properly. Well, running is the best way to increase lung capacity for a fast movement jutsu. Kodo achieved this by running for his life from a jungle leopard. Now Kodo found himself on the second part of the second step in learning this jutsu.
Kodo wrapped his hands in the bandages then walked over to the tree. “I see you survived my onslaught of hand attacks. Well let’s see how well you do against my foot work.” The time was past mid-day as the sun began its dissent from the sky. Kodo took his first swing at the tree. He swung his left leg and struck the tree with the top of his foot and ankle. He then proceeded to pullback and roundhouse kicked with a soul of his foot. “1, 2…” Kodo placed all he weight on his left foot then repelled off the tree and into the air. Back flipping Kodo landed on his feet then jumped at the tree, both feet forward. Kodo struck the tree with a series of double kicks from both his feet. “R1, R2, L3, L4, R3, L5…” Kodo followed each of his kicks with a flurry of others. He had to find ever possible kick that could follow each other in perfect rhythm. The more he learned the better this jutsu would be.
“R89 L95 96, R90 R91 R92…” Kodo struck the tree hard with his right leg embedding it within the bark to simulate an opponent grabbing his foot. Kodo quickly twisted his body and launched two rapid fire kicks just above his right foot with his left. Freeing himself from the tree he dropped to the ground and swept the roots with his right leg. Kodo follows quickly with two more kicks with his right leg to the mid section of his opponent. Kodo stopped to rest for a moment. He was more efficient when he was striking the tree with just his hands then just his feet. He was easily able to hit 100 times with each of his hands without too much trouble. Sure his hands were torn and bleeding, but it was still easy. Kodo couldn’t seem to reach the final hundred mark for his feet. He had hit the tree 96 times with left kicks and only 92 times with right kicks. That left four left kicks and eight right kicks to reach his goal. He failed just short of the finish line. Now he would have to think of another task he needed to do as punishment for his failure… Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.

The sun began to set as another day was ending and Kodo felt he wasn’t much closer to mastering this Jutsu. True he had the actual movements down but that wasn’t good enough. The Lotus is fast Taijutsu and Kodo could currently only do normal Taijutsu. He had to think of away to increase how fast he pulled off the movement, not just learn the movement. At the same time he had to think of a punishment for his earlier failure.
The sun had set and the full moon barely shined light through the dark canopy of the Forest. The temperature had also dropped to a cold 40 degrees. Kodo focused chakra into his eyes it help with his night vision. It didn’t help much, but at least he could see more then a foot in front of him. The nocturnal hunters will be out soon and Kodo was a perfect target. Not taking time out to eat during his training, Kodo could feel his own hunger coming on. “Well a quick hunting break shouldn’t hurt.” Kodo gathered up his belongings that he had lain next to a nearby rock.
Jumping up into a tree he scanned the ground for proof of something good to eat. Some game he may test his skills on. Little did he know that he was the hunted. For at this very moment a large snake was slowly stalking Kodo. It was about twenty-five feet long, 5 feet around and had no reservations about making Kodo his next meal. Airazor, who had been sitting on Kodo’s shoulder, spotted the snake just as it was coiling back to strike. Warning Kodo, the two quickly jumped away from the strike zone just as the snake struck.
The snake’s strike missed Kodo and Airazor by mere inches. Almost as if instinctively Kodo’s chakra focused in his eyes and lungs as he landed on a large branch. His breathing regulated and his eyes focused on every movement of the snake. “Could this be an effect of the Lotus?” Kodo thought to himself. The snake’s movements slowed as it pulled its head back and rose up to a height of ten feet. Its tongue flickered in and out of its mouth as it tasted the air. “It looks like I’m having snake for dinner!” Roleplaying Characters: Kodo Raptor - Leaf Chuunin Airazor - Kodo's Peregrine Falcon pet-nin Prowl "Yoru Ouka" Raptor - C Rank missing-nin Skyshadow, Yoru's Nin-owl RPG Stats: Shinobi Rank: Chuunin | C-Rank missing Nin Village: Konohagakure (Leaf) | None Training Points: 00 Inventory: Bow/Arrows x10, Shuriken x12, Wakizashi x1 Feathers x??? | Tekagi x2(one for each hand), Soldier pill x20, Wakizashi x2, Kunai x20, Fuuma Shuriken x2, Smoke bombs x30, Feathers x???, Various items needed for outdoor survival.
