9 posts to learn a C-rank Jutsu
Day 1, Morning
A male, red-haired and pale green-eyed figure stood, watching the the waves and distant ports, along with the busy, close one, several hundred feet away.
He stood in the shade of the large trees behind him, out of sight from any eyes on the beach who happened to look his way. But not necessarily from any originating from the trees behind him.
After all, he was a rogue ninja. He didn't want to be seen by people he didn't know, even if they were only fishermen, and many missing-nin passed through these ports. But the ninja sent from each village were sure to have figured that out by now, and could easily be in waiting, ready to ambush from a ship or behind crates or stalls. If he donned the forehead protector he still had from the village, and walked out there, he'd be fine.
Except, he wasn't going to do that. No, he was here to train, learn a jutsu, that he would end up needing at some point. It had been a week or two now, since he had left, and over that since he had trained for a jutsu. He needed to learn this one.
It was a C-rank jutsu, and so it could take a while, but due to his endurance in chakra and his strong will, it would take no longer than six or seven days. It was very unlikely it would go any longer.
The teenager took another look at all the people, wondering why they were up so early. He guessed since they were fishermen, they needed to take their traps from the previous night and get new ones in as soon as possible. Still, ninja were usually the ones who got up earliest (as far as he knew).
Then Gentai turned and stepped past the trees, into a medium sized clearing of scrubbly grass, dirt, and some sand from the beach a few feet away.
To his right was a long thin stretch of dirt and grass, varying in width (not too much), with the occasional flower or root sticking up. It was about ten yards long, and so perfect for the jutsu he wanted to learn. The four legs technique.
Spoiler:
Shikyaku no Jutsu [Four Legs Technique]
Rank: C
Requirements: None
Description: This technique gives some increase of strength and speed to the user, as well as lengthening their nails into claws. Travel in this mode is somewhat alike to a dog's fast run.
Just the promise of it sent little goosebumps up his arm. When one of is traps failed, (none had so far, luckily), and the victim ninga found his hiding spot, he could get away, hopefully before they could identify his face. Also, with ninja chasing after him, it could help.
He stood a moment, sniffing the air. Three days ago, he had lost two genin and a chuunin sent after him. He hadn't smelled anything since, not from Kirigakure, but he had kept on checking every half-day or so. He could smell within about a mile radius, and a tiny bit closer, tell how quickly they were moving, and from what village they were. Within several hundred feet (300 - 500) he could tell who they were if he knew them.
Actually, he had sharpened his smell a little to the scent of his own village of birth, so he could smell them, for both, about two or three hundred feet farther away. Sure, not a whole lot, but it was something, and without a jutsu or pill he couldn't make his nose any sharper than it was at the moment.
As he had expected, there was no one there, except one ninja in the port that he had been studying moments before, belonging to no one, like himself. There was absolutely no smell of a village on him/her; he/she had to have been rogue for a while then.
He would have seen her if it had been her, if somehow not, then he would have been able to tell it was her by scent, and run out to greet her, though still cautious. He knew her scwent very well, seeing as she had been his only friend and he had pretty much grown up with her. they had spent a lot of time together, and though cousins, treated each other like best friends. Which they were. And possibly more than that, but just on the initiation of that, if at all. For her. For him, there was no question.
He exhaled, closed his eyes briefly, then turned to face the little, natural runaway. He raised his hands to chin level, and clasped them together and made his signs, ready to learn the jutsu.

Gentai was sitting on the grassiest part of the same clearing, a fire in front of him. A huge fish sat a foot above it, roasting. He had caught it almost half an hour ago, and it would be ready soon.
After he ate the first half, he would begin training again. He just needed some strength. He would eat the last half of the bass for dinner. The teenager probably would end up eating half in total, because it was huge after all, so he would probably have to think of preserving it.
After another ten minutes he was finished a third of the fish, and he put some salt from saltwater onto it, and wrapped it in leaves, keeping it together with a small piece of wire.
He pushed up off his butt and wiped his greasy hands on his jeans before starting again.
He felt his chakra surge like waves on a shore, but there was nothing else. It was not a tsunami, or even a large wave. They were just the normal waves, like the ones breaking out on the shore only a few hundred feet away.
Sweat trickled down the side of his face, and he looked up. The sun was high, and it was hot out here. He was glad he wasn't on the beach, out in the sun, or on the sea fishing like some of them.
Maybe he could go swimming a little before he slept.
He wiped his forehead, then stripped off his vest and slipped out of his sandals, wadding them together into a relatively small "package" that he tied with wire to the back of his belt.
His tan hands moved up, and slowly made the signs again, making sure to have them right. Once he had accidentally made a wrong sign, and it hadn't done anything obviously. It wasted his time performing the hand signs wrong, so he was going to go slower and work his way gradually as he began to become sure of the hand signs and that he was making them right.
He felt the same waves, and tried again after a moment.
This time there were larger waves, but nothing to rejoice over. They were only slightly bigger, and he had a long way to go still.
He sighed and took off his fingerless gloves, stuffing them in a jeans pocket, then turned and began walking towards the stream not that far away, running on the opposite side of the little runway.
He returned after a few minutes, having washed his face and drunk a little, then returned to the hand signs.

He had come much farther than he had thought he would in a day. Atleast that meant he was getting stronger. Though he was exhausted.
He built up another fire on the dead coals of the old, making sure it was the kind that made no smoke, then retrieved the half of a bass from noon.
Once it was done, he ate until there was less than a fifth left, which he would have for breakfast tomorrow. He didn't normally eat much for breakfast, but it was a good idea to have relatively big meals around breakfast and dinner, usually a snack of sorts for lunch. He would have to think about that tomorrow. It was late, and he wanted to go for a dip before he slept.
He laid his clothes on the sand and slipped into the water, shivering slightly as the cold water pulled at him. It was still humid, and no one was around. He hadn't expected it to be so cold. Gentai had been expecting something luke-warm, but he guessed he had to be dissapointed.
He still had his boxers on, so he couldn't embarass himself if enemy ninja jumped out of nowhere and he had to escape.
He sniffed to make sure, but he could barely smell anything outside of the smell of the sea. The smell of salt was overpowering. He would just have to keep his eyes open until he got out.
He plugged his nostrils with his fingers (to keep it from getting too filled with salt) and swam around a bit before getting out.
The male shinobi had to wait twenty minutes to dry before he slipped back into his clothes. He returned to the clearing, setting a trap around the edges of the clearing, connected with the one stretched across the tops of the trees above, using a few dozen shuriken and kuna knives, which was almost all of them.
Finally done, he laid down on the same grassy part, getting comfortable and arranging everything on his belt so they didn't make lumps under him.
He slipped a kunai out of his weapons pouch and gripped it in his teeth, lying back down on his back and forming the hand signs for Kawarimi no Jutsu, holding back his chakra so he only had to let it forth in case someone got through all of the traps.
He rested his hands on his chest and sniffed once, smelling nothing, before relaxing and closing his eyes, trying to get to sleep.
He fell asleep soon, tired from the long day.

Gentai had been up for a while, but only training for an hour or two so far. Nothing had disturbed him last night, and it had proved beneficial (as one would think) in that he was very well rested even with seven or eight hours of sleep, and with some fish and water in him, ready for a long day of training.
He had moved to a shadier place to train a little while ago so he wasn't overheating and dehydrating. He was actually next to the stream now, where he could get water easily when he got too sweaty from training.
A straight three hours without stop. He was getting very tired. Like drop-dead tired.
He washed his face and drank a little, then trekked back to the clearing to lie on his back and rest for a half-hour or so.
Gentai got back up, rested, though still a bit tired.
He returned to the stream and drank some more before training more there.
The waves had gotten bigger until they were large swells, and were getting minutely bigger every few times he tried the jutsu.

Gentai had skipped breakfast this morning, seeing as he had had a huge dinner, and a midnight snack after a chuunin tried to kill him.
"That guy was so easy to kill....it wasn't even funny. A rank above me, and all I had to do was produce a clone and attack him with a few shuriken with my clone, then have it poof and then leap down on him when he's got the shuriken all stuck in him and kill him. Too easy. He really didn't deserve it. I got plenty of items from him too," he thought.
The rogue ninja chuckled at this last part a little.
He had slept a few more hours before getting back up, then started training again, this time planning to until he could barely do anything, rest as long as he needed to to feel okay (no more than an hour), then start again, and rest, and continue until early evening, when he would swim a little again, eat and then sleep.
"Oh, I can't wait to start. This is going t be awesome!" He smiled to himself and clenched his hands, eyes wide and glowing, pumped. "I'm going to almost kill myself atleast three times, but I'm going to go far for that very reason. I'm pretty sure I'm going to learn this jutsu sooner than I thought. No, I am. I'm going to make sure I am. Tomorrow or the day after. Preferably tomorrow, but I can't be so exhausted that I end up not being able to defend myself if someone tries to attack me, from Mist village or not. After all, that chuunin wasn't from Kirigakure. I had to kill him or he would have looked foolish trying to kill me. And this is a nice spot. I don't want to abandon it in order to get away from him once he woke up after I had stolen all his stuff, if I had just knocked him unconcious in the first place."
He formed the signs and closed his eyes, his lips moving to produce the words for the jutsu.

Gentai had done five different training sections, and he was absolutely dead. There was half of a small cod wrapped up that he would eat, after making a fire, then he would go swim, then lay traps....
"Nah. Screw the swimming. I don't need that. I think I will tomorrow. In the morning. Or something."
He shook his head to try and clear it from the heaviness of a headache, but it made it worse. He couldn't think. Atleast survival skills like making fires, and laying traps, were second nature to him. He wouldn't have to think too much to do that.
But still. Just moving made his head hurt. And his mind. And his whole ****ing body.
He sighed and retrieved more wood, setting it up on the coals, then unwrapped the fish and put it over the fire. It was done in a few minutes. He didn't feel like waiting longer than that, and was too tired to care if it was a little cold.
He finished it, then scrubbed his face with his hands and the cold stream water. He laid out a trap similar to the one he had done for this clearing the night before last (he had forgotten to last night, that's how the guy had even gotten to him). Then he got a kunai out, formed his hand signs and repressed the chakra, and laid down, falling asleep immediately.

Oops I completely forgot about that...crap >_<
It says four legs technique in there, but you probably don't know what that is anyway.
I was going to put it in the next post anyway ^__^

Pale green eyes glowed in the dawn light, and Gentai's mouth twitched, his hands releasing from each other and the right going up to the kunai in his mouth while the other steadied his body. He stood up and slipped the kunai out of his mouth and into his weapons pouch all at the same time, in one fluid motion, then he went to the sea to take a dip.
It lasted only a few minutes. He would really clean later this evening.
He slipped back to the clearing, a fish in hand, bringing his clothes with him, drying there as people slowly began to filter onto the beach.
Once he was dry, he made a fire with bits of branches he had there already, and set the fish above it.
As it cooked, he took down the big trap he had laid once again around the clearing (he had removed the little part he had gone through to get to the sea).
Soon the fish was done, and he sat thinking hard about what he was going to do today as he ate it. Or really, how.
"Okay, so when it's a little later in the morning, I'll work on chakra control. I'll have a bit to eat and take a nap until noon. Then I'll work on chakra amount. That's easy; I can work at noon with that. Then something to eat if I have anything left, catch something small and eat it if not, then a longer nap. Late afternoon I'll work on the actual jutsu. I should be able to get it today this way. Actually, I will, because yesterday the waves were huge. And I'm doing chakra control, though I'm past it, to ensure that, because I'll know for sure that I'm doin that part right and nothing will mess up."
He finished eating, wrapped it up, and took an hour nap, then woke up and began on his control.
