Training Thread [ Water Techniques]

1st Mastery:

The place where time seems to stop, and nature seems to pause it's course it next to his fathers gravesite, alongside the lake. The land of Lightning, more specifically The Village hidden in the Clouds had just suffered an assault from 2 of the most feared Bijuu. The appearance of both should have wiped the village entirely clean from the face of the earth, gladly their was someone who had sent them away. The downside was that.....he was working along side them. Their was only a brief period of time that Dominick feared they would return to finish what they had started. His Taijutsu skills seemed to be unmatched within the Village, yet Close Range on massive beast like that would prove fatal to himself. His only course of action was to ensure that they everyone who participated in the defense came back alive, he hoped. Throughout the village rather the other shionbi helped with the evacutionn or they weren't back from a mission. Only 4 stood to fight, including himself, there was Elixar the Jounin, Alice-sama, The new RaiKage Kai. Dominick was disappointed in himself for false claiming the Title "Prodigy", a prodigy would be able to defend his village without taking mass causalities like the one's we had suffered recently. After recovering from his wounds, and resting he had spent several nights studying his father's old journals attempting to find some bright light that'll hold up against a Bijuu if he ever encounters it again. First he decided on a wide-spread attack for distraction, then'll he'd start on defense & barriers. His only known water technique was Water Prison, which he doubted would do much, for the fact it's a close range Tech which requires one hand inside the sphere at all times. "Thousand Needles of Death", as he stood in the middle of the lake, he weaved the specific hand seals, as water from all around collected. Water from the supply under himself, and from the air. As it collected it happened to shape into needles, explaining the name. "Water Style: Thousand Needles of Death", the fury of needles pierced forward at breaking speeds. It didn't have much of an distant seeing as it didn't travel no more than 10 meters. The needles in particular weren't long, but skinny. They could pierce something with ease and exit the wound. Along with a few other's this was an excellent combination technique and assassination technique. One move that Dominick wanted to have in his arsenal....Chidori. One Thousand chirping birds an assassination technique that would prove valuable along his water prison. There is a necessary speed requirement which Dominick thought he could pass without failure.

Rain poured down, intercepted by tree branches and leaves that began to collect them. Dominick laid constantly wiping water from his eyes, both from the rain and his tears. He watched as his father stood in front of him defending him from a vicious criminal. The man would say this from his mouth, "There will be times when being the Hero & Protecting others will lead to your down fall. Your determination to save your own flesh & blood is remarkable, but allow me to put this in your ear. Remember my name Armani Chiyo. May my name strike fear into your heart and your future. If you won't perish tonight...you will eventually.Three other shinobi appeared from the forest, all holding kunai ready to strike. "Kill Him and The Boy", he said as he walked away from the opening. The men ran towards his father, as his father weaved multiple hand-seals. "Water Style: Thousand Needles of Death", the rain that had been falling collected into multiple needles that pierced the skin of his enemies. Striking them down in cold blood, not even attempting to face his original aggressor. He kneel-ed down by Dominick hugging him tight.....

Armani.....Chiyo, the man that threatened his father when his was little. Dominick hadn't remembered this important fact about his fathers death. He hadn't realized the memories of his fathers journals, the key to finding his killer. He had to think back to a time not far then right before the attack on Kumo. Their was a flyer on the request board from the council. An elimination mission of an Armani....he wasn't sure if it was the same name. He had already finished training for the day, as he rushed back to the village, he wouldn't wait to jump onto the opportunity to find his fathers killer or at least a clue.
