╥ The Enclosed Hot Springs

[dreadno]

karal walked up to the hot springs. he didn't hear much activity and had been here before to meditate. walking into the men's changeroom he quickly changed into simple trunks and hid his other clothing. he walked out and used the water walking technique to walk over to the tree. he then lept up jumping branch to branch and then balanced himself on the top. he kept his feet planted on oposite sides of eachother. he held his arms out and held his palms open facing upwards. he closed his eyes and let his skin feel the air around him and feel the changes as the heat from the water below rose up.
((state of control 1/20))  

[dreadno]

karal now focused his senses inward and listened to his heartbeat and felt his muscles moving to keep him balanced on the tree. he focused on his chakra and the chakra of the earth that surrounded him.
((2/20))  

[dreadno]

karal continued to focus his senses inward but also at the same time tried to focus the outwards. by doing this he found he began to gain a little more understanding of how his body reacted and how to control those reactions better.
((3/20))  

[dreadno]

a gust of wind blew up from below rising on karal's right side. he felt it unbalance himself slightly and he could feel himself naturally correct his body posture so that he kept his balance.
((4/20))  

[dreadno]

paying attention to the air movement he was able to predict when a gust of air was rising and where it would rise. with this he was able to move his body so that he avoided every gust of air.
((5/20))  

[dreadno]

now flatening his hands out and making them stiffer he began to move his arms so that while still remaining balanced he would be able to cut his hand through the gust of air.
((6/20))  

[dreadno]

now with balance fairly under control karal decided to work on his control of his muscle use. he now began to move keeping his balance so that he could hold on to the tree with his hands instead of his feet. now with his feet free he began to stretch them.
((7/20))  

[dreadno]

karal began to do the same with his legs that he had with his feet begining with the sensing where and when gusts would rise up and avoiding them.
((8/20))  

[dreadno]

now he straightened his legs and feet and began to use them to cut though the gusts of air. he was begining to sweat from holding himself up with his arms. they weren't as strong as his legs.
((9/20))  

[dreadno]

now karal repositioned himself and moved himself so he was balancing on his feet instead of his hands again. now he stretched out his arms and loosened up the muscles in them.
((10/20))  

[dreadno]

karal now feeling well attuned with his physical abilities began to focus on his chakra flow. he focused on finding his chakra paths and following them and learning the intricacies about them.
((11/20))  

[dreadno]

karal channeled a little chakra through his body trying to send it into all the little paths that wouldn't be used often. this would make them a little more used to having chakra run through them.
((12/20))  

[dreadno]

karal released some chakra without controling it and paid attention to how the chakra moved through his chakra system. knowing the more well traveled paths his chakra took would give him a better sense of how to move and use jutsu.
((13/20))  

[dreadno]

karal now tried to controll the chakra and he tried to create two clones of himself. succeeding he grabbed both of them at the same time and they helped him to keep balanced on the tree.
