A desolate stretch that extends forward into the Land of Earth from the mountainous border. It is somewhere within the center of this area that Iwagakure is located. Rising plateaus through the area make travel difficult making for a natural fortress.

[Rothailithin]

Jaaku exited the village and headed for the land between Oto and Taki, where he had heard there was am "organization" that has many private missions for missing-nin. He didn't consider himself a missing-nin, but he knew that it didn't matter to the crime bosses in the land where the akatsuki's base once stood. He swallowed hard, ridding himself of the last of his worries, and headed to Takigakure.

[soren]

Sixty years, sixty years of hardship, death, disappointment, betrayal, and backwater dealings against him. Soren Nagahara the once known Beast of Iwa, both renowned in countries but feared in villages he fought against and even his own feared and despised him. Though at the moment they thought he was dead, but nevertheless being thought dead was way better to Soren then simply existing in that place.

He having just finished a supposedly easy favor for a young couple that he secretly envied. It was to bring back a precious heirloom, and their daughter from a bandit fortress about 250 strong.

Soren believed himself a exceptional ninja, and this would simply be a simple way to past his final years. However he found out the hard way that, after the 100th bandit taken care of. Soren started to wane in energy, and even the Gobi was not helping him. So he had a hard fight to defeat the last 150 including the leader who happened to be a jounin missing-nin of the mist. Although he took care of the jounin, he was extremely exhausted and only the fact that he was a jinchuuriki allowed him to bring back the heirloom and the daughter of the couple.

Being betrayed enough in his life, the last know Nagahara left quickly by using a shunshin. He had been staying in a cave nearby so, it wasn't that far of a trip. However as soon as he got into the cave after unlocking the Nagahara blood seal at the entrance, he had to will himself over to his bed and collapsed.

The next day[/u]

Soren waking up, he could feel that one of the things that he hated getting old had done to his body. All his joints were stiff and he felt as if he tried to play fisty cuffs with a bijuu. So using every ounce of willpower he could, he lifted himself off his bed. Feeling his joints pop and his muscles aching from lying too long in one place, he went to his lab area.

Soren would contemplate just what he would do today as he grabbed a bran muffin fruit. This fruit was one he created a long time ago, it had all the nutrients needed for the basic breakfast and it tasted just like whatever the person eating it craved at the moment.

So after consuming the Bran muffin fruit, Soren would think about what the future held. And the only thing he could think of is, getting older, weaker, then death by either old age or some young upstart that he underestimates.

An Epiphany hits Soren as he is going through what he could do if he was younger. Why not make himself younger, all he would have to do was find out how his body works and simply regress his body in age.

[soren]

Training Start[/u]

Soren would first start off trying to find out how actually make the jutsu. He although able to use his chakra rather effectively in given tasks, he has never actually studied Irojutsu (Healing Techniques) since he had a demon which would help him heal in that manner.

So first Soren would make a Earth clone of himself, who would take some skin from Soren and place it under a microscope. The Earth clone would channel chakra into the bit of skin to keep it alive. Soren quickly getting over to the microscope would focus the lens of the scope and look at the skin cells replicating. Though Soren had aged and the process was slower, Soren could still see that the skin cells were being replaced and the dead skin cells were being left.

Using his Dougu no Tsuruko, Soren would create a pair of tweezers made out of chakra. and would separate the dead skin cells from the still living skin cells. Upon comparison, he could see that the dead skin cell parts were stationary. While the ones that were nearly becoming to the point of being replaced were still moving but going at a slow rate.

Soren would stay on that group of particular cells, till the cells started to die and be replaced by new cells. Soren would be making notes through out this, putting in comparisons to dead cells, about to die cells, normal cells who have had a bit of time to be used, and just replaced cells.

Despite his age the cells still seemed to be working properly, and would go over his notes and a couple of jutsu he made and used that dealt with changing his skin.

Soren would first start with Earth Spear which was an Iwa jutsu that he learned that changed his skin to that of stone. Having a second Tsuchi Clone take another sample of skin. Soren would then activate the jutsu for the Earth spear, but instead of putting the jutsu onto his skin on his body. Soren would watch the microscope as the sample of skin and its cells changed composition.

They still replaced themselves like normal, however on testing the skin was a lot more durable. Having finished initial testing on his skin, he broke for lunch, dispelling his two Tsuchi clone assistants and putting the skin samples in a freezer to halt their stasis.

Training Post 2[/u]

Soren after eating some fruit and vegetables that tasted like beef Teriyaki and noodles. After which Soren would clean up his stuff and go back to trying to figure out how to make himself younger. Soren knew that a Henge, while changing the appearance of the user, didn't actually change the user just their appearance.

So Soren decided to meditate within himself to access all his clan jutsu, and notes throughout the years.

Soren entered his mindscape which was ironically enough a cave that wound around in a maze. Soren following his natural instincts through years of going to the exact place he was searching for so he could learn his clan jutsus. Soren finally rounded a bend to a rock face with a Nagahara blood seal on it. This was there to prevent any Mind jutsu users from accessing the documents of his clan.

Upon opening the seal, Soren would enter and be faced with the blocked entrance to a tunnel that held the Gobi. However the away from the tunnel entrance was a couple of Mahogany shelves with scrolls on them. Soren would take the time to search through first his clan jutsu to see if their was a previous clan member made such a jutsu.

There wasn't, however Soren wasn't discouraged as he took another scroll with various projects that the clan members undertook. He did find that one clan member actually did some inital testing with regenerating cells however he only accomplished it on a small scale since like all members of the clan. His chakra coils were smaller than average and couldn't produce enough chakra to his entire body to actually make it a viable jutsu.

Soren reading through the notes on how his Great grand uncle did so he saw that instead of his initial plans of putting the cells into stasis. His Uncle actually produced heat into the cells and made them more active, since he asked his son at the time to help him with his experiment. It happened to be that his son's skin cells were actually moving quite more rapidly than his own.

Upon initial testing, which seemed based on the notes to be a test similar to what Soren just did outside his mind. So going over his Great grand uncles notes on how to apply that, Soren would exit out of his mind. Soren would then take the skin samples out of the freezer and use chakra to slowly bring them back to their previous states.

After completing this, Soren would produce a Tsuchi clone just like before that would channel chakra into the skin that needed to be kept alive.

Soren acting quickly decided to do an experiment, with his Great grand uncle's notes still in his mind. He would split the first skin in half, and would wait until the skin cells were about to die. Applying the technique took some trial and error, but eventually Soren produced a relatively decent representation of the technique his previous generation clan member used.

Soren would try this technique by actually using the chakra farming technique he used and started to grow the skin cells into a sheet. Also applying the technique he just learned to keep the skin healthy and young looking. However after Soren stopped putting chakra to the sheet of skin the skin simply reverted back to its previous old man looking state.

Soren taking a break from his contemplations would rest himself and use the time to put the samples in the freezer once more.

Training Post 3[/u]

Soren would take his break to rest his mental faculties and take a breather by doing something that usually relaxed him. Reading a good book, he read through a relaxing story about a boy who learned how to fish and tried to change the world.

Soren amused by the story had always read it when he needed some down time.

So after his short break, Soren got up from his lounger and would continue his development of the technique by going back into the mindscape.

Using the same path as before, Soren would again wind up in the library/Gobi tunnel entrance and would take out a scroll of miscellaneous notes that his clan members made about different clans. These helped back in his chuunin and jounin days when he traveled to different villages.

Looking through the notes, he noticed not a lot about specific clan traits. Most of it was based on how the generally fought, however upon going through Konoha clans and the ninja in them. He took note of that their seemed to be a Senju who became the Godaime that used a technique to make herself appear younger. However this did not change her actual age, it did rejuvenate the cells so that she had the body of a younger woman.

The clan member who actually happened to be his father, took very precise notes on this. He took down the process in which the woman did so, although the woman used a jutsu to contain chakra to keep the jutsu up it could be modified to not require such things.

His father actually seemed to be in the final stages of copying the actual jutsu, however he had sacrificed himself sealing the Gobi before he could complete it. Soren would go through the notes meticulously and try to hammer out what he would have to do and how he could go on completing his father's rendition of Tsunade's Youth jutsu.

Doing so, he exited his mind and took the time to go over every aspect of the jutsu, from the process of doing it. To the creation of medical chakra to even the way the Woman maintained the actual chakra used to keep the jutsu up through out the day. Seeing this as another step in the process of the jutsu he would first teach himself how to change his chakra into medical chakra.

Their actually was months of training that he had to complete normally to actually have enough ability to use medical chakra at the level needed. However Soren was not a Nagahara for nothing, and since his father had so generously put in notes on how his chakra was changed and manipulated throughout the medi-nin training. Soren could skip a great big chunk of it.

Soren would go outside his cave and would decide to put into practice what he read in the book. He fished, however being a ninja did have its advantages as he made use of his Dougu no Tsuruko again by creating a net.

After about 10 minutes Soren returned with a sphere of chakra containing water and several fish. Soren would use his Earthen tub that he used to bathe himself to contain the fish within.

Making sure to go over the correct notes and doing a quick demonstration without the fish on how to manipulate his chakra effectively. After which Soren would take a fish out of the tub and lay it on a workbench. Soren would wait for the fish to slowly gasp for breath, in which after the wish was in the right state would apply the technique of keeping the fish stable.

Soren had a bit of trouble at first, but after some tweaking to his chakra manipulation was able to keep the fish breathing.

Soren would then create a Earth clone once more, and have it apply the technique. Soren would then use the fish as his test subject by first giving the fish a small cut. Then by reviewing the correct notes, from his father and a few previous clan users who decided to go into the medical field. He healed the cut, then Soren would continually up the difficulty of healing until he could pretty much save the fish from anything that would come up naturally or in an unorthodox manner.

Soren would then place the fish back into the tub and would review the notes of his fathers for the actual jutsu he was going to try. After hearing about all applications of the jutsu Soren would start off slow and eventually spread the jutsu to cover his whole body.

Training Post 4[/u]

Eureka, after going through the painstaking process of learning how to use medical ninjutsu. Plus learning how Tsunade had been able to keep her youth, he had finally completed the technique. Using a mirror in the room, he saw that he had changed his look to be when he was at the top of his game at the age of 25. His body was muscled before, but age spots and wrinkles covered his skin. His hair was grey almost silvery-white and showed his age. His joints took a couple hours of warm up just to be able to go about his day if he needed to use his skills.

Now though his hair was black to the soft blonde hair he had, had in his youth. His muscles were that of a Master Taijutsu user, that balanced both speed, precision and Strength all into one. His body also was that of a Kenjutsu Master and afterwards a Weaponmaster. Soren admiring his old body, tested out all the things that he remembered he could do in his youth. Dexterity exercises, lifting boulders, running around the cave by using the tree walking exercise, and continually upping his speed.

Soren was fascinated that he could have his young body back, however as his joy apexed, it crashed down as he felt the constant pull of chakra on his reserves.

Soren sighing heavily would end the technique. Soren going back to his previous appearance and athletic ability, he redoubled his determination to permanently go back to the body of his youth. So going over the notes he had taken on his experiments, he would also complete the notes of his fathers on the use of the jutsu. He would also take down even more notes on the emotional state of himself after using the jutsu. Including the chakra drain that accompanied the jutsu being held, only a person with either large reserves which the Senju had. Or Perfect chakra control which the Senju also had, would be able to use this jutsu for more than an hour.

Thankfully because of the Gobi's chakra continually be leaked into Soren's reserves he had the reserves of a Kage. However despite being able to use this jutsu now and eliminate his own initial reason for developing the jutsu he was working on. The Transformation jutsu that he had just learned was a temporary fix, like a drug the blonde would have to continually keep it up to be in tip top shape. And even then, when he had to rest to get his chakra the chance to recover he would still be in the body he was originally supposed to be in.

Soren not one to stop halfway on a project continued his endeavor to make a permanent De-aging jutsu.

Using the time to do the jutsu he just learned again to put his natural mind into a more active state without all the mental diseases that went with age. He sat their and contemplated all that he learned and brainstormed different ways to go about it. The first thought was to advance the Jutsu however that was shot down as that wouldn't help at all.

So since it worked well last time, Soren would go back into his mindscape and search for anything else that could help the process along.

[soren]

Training Post 5[/u]

Entering his mind scape for the fourth time today, he would travel to the library/Gobi seal once more. Entering into the grotto, he would go back over the miscellaneous notes from his clan. Most of it was based on techniques that would be interesting to have if he actually got his young body back. So he put those off to the side, for now.

However a small note on his fathers family showed that a couple of ninja in the 3rd Great Shinobi War. And even his own notes in the 4th Great Shinobi War about different ninja. One ninja he found out Kabuto Yakusho actually had a medical ninjutsu that created cells to instead of regeneration cells. It would create new cells to heal injuries on his body. The second was Uzumaki Naruto was the Legendary Toad Sage, and on seeing his sage mode and results of fights against him. The Sage mode actually increased the users speed and strength using what was explained by a Ninja from Konoha that used something called Natural energy.

Soren not having the time to actually learn how to use Natural energy since he didn't have a natural summon. He would continue to look through different jutsu, he soon found notes on Hiraishin that seemed to be a Time-Space Jutsu. Soren having a Time-Space Jutsu as well, figured that he could go through the process of breaking down his Transport jutsu and try to manipulate the Time basis of the jutsu.

Soren would first decide to train in the Secret Injury Destruction jutsu that Kabuto used during the war. Soren would take the next few hours learning the ins and outs of the jutsu through experimentation and theory. Thanks to being in his prime mental and physical body, he was able to think more clearly and learn it.

Soren would then add that technique to his jutsu to experiment with. Soren would then start breaking down his Space-Time Jutsu.

The jutsu itself actually took a person from one place to another, similar to the Hiraishin except a lot slower to setup and use.

The jutsu itself created two special chakra squares, one being a Receiver for the person transported and the other as the Sender of the person, object or people. The downside is that it took time to set up and used 3/4 of the person's chakra to be sent, and a great chunk of the users chakra to maintain and use.

So taking another couple of hours, even going as far as to skip dinner he broke down how the Time aspect of the jutsu was used. Soren in his 25 year old body had most of his cave covered in jutsu, and even though Tsuchi clones couldn't give memories and experience back to the user after being dispelled they were great assistants.

Soren had about 20 clones breaking down jutsu that he could use to further his project for a perfect De-aging jutsu. The clones would make notes, since they thanks to subtle chakra manipulation had the mind of Soren himself. So with the final parts of the jutsu broken down and ready to be able to be experimented with to make the jutsu Soren got to work.

Soren himself would make use of Tsunade's Youth technique for the initial result. Then would use the Secret Healing Injury Destruction jutsu, and the Healing Resuscitation Regeneration jutsu as powering the regeneration process up so to experiment with slowly de-aging his body temporarily and furthering the development of the technique.

Soren would then use the final product the Time-Space jutsu he broke down. The final part he got from an Epiphany that came when he was about to look over the skin samples again just in case he missed anything. He then realized he didn't need to prevent the chakra drain he needed to have his status after regressing to be frozen in that state.

So with all the parts in his notes, Soren would go through the pain staking process of combining the aspects he needed into one single jutsu that would get the correct result.

So Soren started with the Medical ninjutsu stuff, he combined Tsunade's Youth jutsu, combined with Kabuto's Injury Destruction jutsu to create new cells to continue to make the process of Aging continue instead of having to apply chakra to keep Tsunade's Youth Jutsu from straying to an older body or even his original body.

Soren then used the aspects of the Chikatsu Saisei that had multiple people. Or in Soren's case Earth Clones to use a hair from his head when he is in his 25 year old body since the cells are in a more young like state.

After the correct combination of aspects along with putting in the formula of Handsigns he would need to use for the Medical and regeneration standpoint for the jutsu. He would then start to use experiment with time jutsu.

Soren would go to sleep after finishing the Medical and Regeneration portion of cells part of the jutsu.

The Next day[/u]

Soren waking up and having his daily Bran muffin fruit, he would start on the Time-Space Jutsu manipulation/creation. Soren using the basis of learning to use his Time-Space jutsu he would experiment with different small aspects of using the Time-Space jutsu. Then used the broken down parts and manipulate aspects of the Time-Space Jutsu to manipulate the skin, using his previous medical ninjutsu binge yesterday as a start.

After about three hours of experimenting, making notes and generally testing out his body with Tsunade's youth jutsu Soren was ready to add the final part to the Jutsu.

The jutsu in theory would, using Tsunade's youth jutsu as a base which put his body in a more youthful state. Which was the basis of the De-aging process. Then he would put the aspect of creating new cells from the Inyu Shometsu jutsu of Kabuto's to make the process of being in a younger body more natural. Next Soren would use the ritual of using one of his younger body's hair to have the Earth Clones who being clones of Soren would be able to have his massive chakra control skills and anything he learned over yesterday. This would trick Soren's body in believing it was naturally younger than it actually is. Thus making it easier for Soren to naturally be in a younger body and keep it that way without having to dull out a good amount of chakra. The final part being the Time-Space aspect, which would actually Regress his entire body, every aspect of it to when he was at that age. Then have it be put into a state lock via Time-Space jutsu manipulation so that it would actually make Soren that age and not have to worry about dulling out chakra to keep the jutsu's up.

So with all the handsigns, chakra manipulation and instructions to his clones ready with the ingredients needed. Soren would enter the Ritual circle with his Four Earth clones around him.

Soren would start off the process by doing the partial handsigns for Tsunade's Youth jutsu, putting him at the age of 25. Then would continue the handsigns to help manipulate his chakra to use the Inyu Shometsu part to help create cells to take care of any lingering problems that Soren had with his body that he couldn't get rid of as he slowly went from his 60 year old body down to his 25 year old body.

While this was going on the four Tsuchi Bunshin would be using their chakra control and the medical ninjutsu they carried over in their creation from Soren. And would use the Hair of Soren to help the change along. After getting near to the correct age he wanted Soren would do the final handseals, and would try to do the Time-Space aspect of the jutsu.

However as he was about to do the handsigns one of his Tsuchi clones decided to speak up. "Captain were almost out of chakra we are getting close to dispel we are going to need to try again later." However Soren was not having any of it and said "No, we are going to finish this now I am tired of being old and I will begin my life anew if you dispel you dispel. Finish your job." The Earth clones hearing this sighed and pushed even more chakra into the jutsu, Soren worried about the jutsu not being able to succeed put even more chakra into all the jutsu.

Soren closing his eyes so he could concentrate he would do the final handsigns that he needed to complete the jutsu and would say "Myoukaiki no jutsu"[/u][/i] Their was a massive expenditure of chakra that thanks to the Nagahara clan seal was slightly felt outside the cave.

When Soren felt the jutsu take effect, he would go over the initial concerns with the jutsu. He could not feel any pull on his chakra, his body hadn't felt this good in a while, and as he released the chakra he had been maintaining he didn't feel himself reverting back. However as he opened his eyes, he looked around and saw that everything seemed smaller to him.

Worried about what could have happened he got up on shorter legs and went over to the mirror. He saw that he was in a 12 year old body, his clothes and armor falling off of him. A little annoyed at this happening he would try to use his buki no tsuruko to slash at the mirror however. He couldn't remember how to use the jutsu, actually the only thing he remembered was that he was from the Nagahara clan, he had Earth chakra affinity and he somehow caused himself to De-age.

However he couldn't remember anything during his chuunin days on even his most memorable days of his life. Soren in a slightly higher pre-puberty voice said "Well, Shit"

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Training Post 1[/u]

Soren having spent most of the day going through every aspect of his ninja techniques he believed he had. He found that he was the rank of genin, in both strength and speed on his Taijutsu. His Ninjutsu were nothing more than 2 C ranked, one Earth Jutsu and a Taijutsu technique to increase punching power.

Soren would try to figure out what happened, unfortunately because of the massive chakra output his notes that he made were destroyed. He made a note to himself, for if he ever remembered what he did to always seal the notes before actually trying the jutsu. So with that thought he would do one of the only things he remembered he could do, enter his mindscape.

Entering his mindscape he would have trouble finding where he needed to go. He remembered that part of the maze of tunnels led to something really important but couldn't actually remember it. So Spending two hours in his mindscape he came to a seal that he couldn't recognize. Going through whatever he could actually remember he remembered he had to apply blood and chakra to the seal but he had to do something different with this seal.

So Soren jumping in head first, he would apply some blood and chakra. Sensing something a miss he would investigate the seal with his chakra and found that their was a lock. So taking the time for himself to figure out the lock and then actually unlock it.

Entering he started to vaguely remember that he was the Jinchuuriki of the Gobi, he used something called chakra farming to help him grow different vegetables and fruits to eat healthily and his clan sealed scrolls in him.

So Soren would look through the scattered scrolls that for some odd reason he knew he caused. He being a pragmatic person would not bother to clean up, since they were already out. So he would look through the different scrolls till he found the jutsu he was trying to use The Buki no Tsuruko.

Soren would look through the jutsu and realize that he lost all aspects of using the jutsu which he sighed at and began memorizing the processes that were written down.

So with the jutsu in his mind he would exit his mindscape and begin the process of learning or re-learned the Buki no Tsuruko.

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Training Post 2[/u]

Soren after getting out of his mindscape would begin the first step into learning the Buki no Tsuruko. Though thanks to his kekkai genkai which he also found in the scroll he would be able to accomplish this. So Soren would start out as instructed by using the techniques he learned by doing chakra farming.

Soren would start out by channeling chakra to his hands and build up the amount of chakra in his hand. It started out as an E rank level technique but soon he had it as a D rank level amount of chakra. Soren would push his chakra manipulation to produce a C rank level amount of chakra in his hand.

The technique called for after producing the correct amount of chakra, the user would have to learn to keep the chakra flowing while keeping the shape of the chakra produced.

The Scroll stating that the user should start out with a simple sphere, would do so. After creating the ball of chakra, Soren would manipulate his chakra control so the ball would lose no chakra on being maintained. Soren holding this for 5 minutes before letting the chakra seep back into his system would take a couple of breaths.

Soren would use the remaining hours of the day from lunch to dinner to continue to improve his ability to maintain the chakra sphere. Soren at dinner time was able to keep the chakra flowing as if it was second nature where he didn't really had to concentrate on it.

So after eating his dinner, which was some fruits that tasted like steak and potatoes, with some vegetables that tasted like carrots, peas and corn mixed into one. He would continue to Train with the Buki no Tsuruko.

Soren after cleaning up his dinner and his now destroyed notes, would then go through the second portion of the learning process. Which was to shape the chakra into a Pyramid or Triangular Prism and make the points sharp to cut through skin.

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Training Final Post[/u]

Soren would take the time to shape his chakra, after producing the C ranked amount of chakra, into a Triangular Prism. With the tip of the prism going into a point, the actual chakra looked like a fat stake that he vaguely remembered reading in some fantasy story about gay vampires and some obsessed fan girl that kept trying to literally kill herself to get his attention.

Feeling that he should be glad he forgot that memory in the first place, would attempt to cut the skin of his palm. It did, however despite the actual reason for the point Soren wasn't an idiot. So he just scratched his palm lightly a couple of times before he manipulated the point of the prism until it could possibly pierce his skin.

Going through the processes Soren learned to sharpen his chakra, Solidify his chakra to block and then shape his chakra into complex patterns.

After doing so, Soren would then go to the final aspect of the Training, in which to actually make weapons out of chakra. Soren would start off with a Sword, more like a longsword in design but Soren felt it was appropriate.

So Soren having rested on each step of the process to regain his chakra thanks to the Gobi he charged a C rank amount of chakra into his hand and began shaping it into a sword. Once he finished making the sword, he got a memory back of all the weapons he used to make with this technique. And although the power behind the weapon wouldn't be as strong, he could still be able to change the shape of the weapon slowly. Soren had learned the Buki no Tsuruko.

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Mastery Post 1[/u]

Soren would after learning how to use the Buki no Tsuruko would then go to sleep so he can be fresh the next day.

So upon awakening Soren would eat what he discovered was the Bran Muffin Fruit. And then would start to master the jutsu so he could use it in combat situations. So the first order of business was speed with shaping the chakra into the correct shape. Soren would start out with the Longsword he learned to shape his chakra in before hand. Soren being practical would find out after he decided to go through the process of shaping the chakra, a little more slowly. He would after doing so back the chakra off, and instead of putting it in his chakra system slowly. He would find a useful tip that he forgot until now, which was that when first starting to master the Buki no Tsuruko.

The tip was that he would keep the chakra maintained at the constant rate of power, which in this case was a C rank jutsu. So once Soren completely shaped the chakra into the Longsword shape, Soren would slowly put the chakra onto his hand and surround it.

Soren would then take the next hour going through the process of shaping the sword, then backing off the chakra to be around his hand. After each successive chakra shaping, from sword to covering his hand, he would get faster in the process. Taking his time with building up his speed so to keep the sword in the correct shape and right physical state to be used as a Sword.

Soren would continue to do this until he was able to go from the chakra being covered around his hand to a long sword in a second. Satisfied with the speed Soren would go to the next aspect of Mastery making different weapons.

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Mastery Post 2[/u]

Soren after completing the speed sword test, he would go to the next aspect of the Mastery of the Buki no Tsuruko making the different weapons, and changing between different weapons.

Soren would start off with making what could be described as an Axe, using most of the chakra manipulation to make it solidify till it got to the edge of the blade. In which Soren would concentrate on making it sharp but not razor sharp, which was quite the chore for Soren.

After making the Axe into the right specifications he would test it out by using one of the few Earth jutsu that he knew the Small Rock jutsu. What was interesting about the chakra weapons is that they since they were C rank jutsu, they could deflect Projectiles. However they could withstand blocking D ranked jutsus multiple times, or a Single powerful C rank jutsu.

Soren would create a Small Rock from his jutsu and use the Axe to juggle it. Seeing as he needed the training, while he was concentrating leaving the rock in the air, Soren would slowly make another Chakra Axe of C rank level jutsu in power.

Using both Axes he would bounce and juggle the small rock between the two Axes. Thankfully the muscle memory associated with wielding the weapons was not lost and he was very able to forge out his old style with twin Axes. After a particular hard uppercut to the rock, sending it high in the air, Soren would change the two Axe's into two maces. Then on the Small Rock's descent Soren would continue to juggle the rock now between the two maces.

Soren would every 10 minutes of juggling the rock with either two one handed weapons or 1 single Two handed Weapon he would change the weapon Uniformly. So that if it was a dual weapon they would be the same weapon.

However after nearly 3 hours of going through different weapons, Soren decided to spice it up by interchanging different one-handed weapons. He started off with an Axe and a Sword, juggling it between them, getting the feel for instinctively knowing how to maintain the chakra and use the weapons to do what he wanted.

After the next two hours were finished with that particular side of the training, Soren decided to take a break. His body although young seemed to be in the opposite end of the weak spectrum. He was too young, therefore his body although had the energy still hadn't used those muscles.

[soren]

Buki no Tsuruko Mastery Post 3[/u]

Soren after finishing the use of juggling a rock between different weapons, to test his maintaining of the chakra shape of the Weapons. As well as learning to keep the weapons in shape when they took blows, or dealt blows. Along with being able to change the weapons quickly between the same weapon/s or crossover weapons. However Soren was on the final leg of the Buki no Tsuruko Mastery Training, in which it was Innovation.

The basis of this training lesson was for Soren to create complex weapons that would suit his needs. The only thing he could make would be something used for non-combat situations, which technically anything could be used to harm someone. However the Third stage was used to test the limits of the user's chakra manipulation by making unique weapons that the Nagahara clan member would want. However due to not having the time to do so, couldn't go to the weapon shop to buy one or have a weapon smith make one or the Nagahara if they were weapon smiths themselves create it.

So Soren would wrack his brain and instead of forcing the chakra to shape into the weapon he wanted, he used a tip for this part of the training by letting the chakra flow into the shape instead of cleanly and painstakingly shaping it into place.

This would allow Soren to just will the weapon into the correct shape absentmindedly instead of having to fully concentrate on how to make it. So during the course of the next 5 hours Soren would continue to create different unique weapons, and then half way through decide to use the flow shaping of the weapon instead of the static shaping of the weapon.

This had two benefits, it made the shaping the weapon easier, because the user actually thought of the shape he wanted and simply let the chakra fill in the empty space. To shape the weapon he wanted, making the process of shaping the weapon much faster cutting time in half. The second benefit of this was that instead of having to reform the weapon to his hand and then make it into the right shape. He could simply will one weapon into another.

After he completed this he would use the Speed Training aspect with all the basic weapons he needed. And thanks to the Flow Shaping method, he was able to form a chakra weapon from nothing in a second, and change a weapon to a different shape of a weapon in half a second.

To further his potential, Soren stumbled upon the two Omnibuki Dougu weapons that he created out of chakra steel. Thankfully he gained memory of the weapon and soon added that to the training regimen. This slowed the process of changing the shape of the chakra into the different weapons Soren wanted. However the Chakra steel was more powerful and more durable than the actual chakra weapon.

So at the end of the day Soren had completely mastered the Buki no Tsuruko.

Misaki would continue to walk on her way. She would see a village in sight as her vision was almost completely blurry by now. She was burning up. "Alm..ost...to somewhere.....Misaki would state in an exhausted voice. Her mouth was completely dry as she was sweating. She would reach the gates of Iwagakure.
