The fear of becoming something you don't want to be..

For the next jutsu, she took out her piece of mirror again, so she could practise it on herself, like she used to. The experience showed way better where the flaws were, and as a genjutsu specialist, it was useful to be caught in one at times, so she experienced how it was and could recognise being in one faster. She formed the seals described on the scroll, Kanraku Kibun, was the jutsu she was trying right now. She looked deep into her own eyes, and imagined the sea around her. She imagined being pulled down, sinking into the deep blue water. Now she had actually seen the ocean, she knew what it was like for a bit. She could feel her energy being taken, but to her it was clearly from uttering the jutsu. She also could distinguish that this wasn't a real ocean, because the colouring and feel of the water was not exactly like she imagined. (1/2)

Trying again, she did better on concentrating and calling up the image. Knowing fairly well she was in a genjutsu, it was difficult to capture herself in it. When she finally succeeded, she panicked a little, as being pulled down into the ocean was like one of her nightmares. The water became pitch black and she was afraid she couldn't get air in time. Then her senses knocked back in and she kaied out of the jutsu. She doubted any high ranked ninja would be fooled like that, like her. (2/2)

Aranu Atsubottai Kyouatsu no Jutsu (False Heavy Pressure Technique) was the next jutsu she was going to try. Considering it was quite higher ranked than the one she had previously done, she guessed she would have more trouble with it. It had to do with power as well, which was her absolute weak point. She had no idea what pressure felt like, so she started pushing her thumb into her arm to learn what it was like, she increased the pressure every minute to see how it grew, so she could apply it into the jutsu (1/4)

She moved on with the second stage of learning Aranu Atsubottai Kyouatsu no Jutsu (False Heavy Pressure Technique). She needed a clone for that. Else performed rapid seals to summon a clone to attack her. She wanted to apply the jutsu on it and see if it really worked. When her clone came at her, the petite shinobi made sure the clone could follow her hand movements. When she was close enough, she tried to stop her clone with just her thumb. Unfortunalty, it didn't work and she did not only hurt her thumb in the progress, but was punched in the face by her own clone. She was ashamed of looking so silly. (2/4)

She tried it again, moving her thumb some times before trying again. It didn't look that bad, maybe a bruise would appear in the following days. When her clone came at her, she focussed her chakra into one point, to make her clone believe she was superstrong and could stop her. When they contacted, the clones stopped for a moment, before coming through and punching her in the face again. Now Else knew what she had done wrong, she couldn't keep her focus at the moment of contact and that was why she wasn't able to hold on to the jutsu at the critical moment (3/4)

Now that she knew what was transpiring, it was easy for her to finish it off. When the clone came at her another time, she formed the seals and executed the jutsu with flying colours. Her clone trembled against her thumb and to finish it off, she punched that filthy clone into the face, causing it to fall apart in a poof of smoke. There was only one jutsu left and she was exceptionally glad of the progress she was making.(4/4)

Last but not least came the final jutsu, Atsubottai Mizu no Jutsu (Heavy Water Technique). Again she summoned a clone to learn this one. She looked for some nearby water to plunge her clone into. She found a small pond that was hardly deep enough to swim in, but it was enough. Both she and the clone lowered themselves in the water, when Else started to form handsigns. She cast the jutsu, but her clone showed no difference in swimming. Her head broke to the surface to get some air before she tried again. (1/4)

She dived under again, and formed the seals again. She tried to think heavy, casting the experience a little on herself as well. A good genjutsu looked like it was real, so it had to be real to her as well. She adjusted the chakra flowing from her into the jutsu, to make it more accurate. Her clone made stop movements from time to time, so she guessed she was getting anywhere, but still not there yet. (2/4)

Not giving up, the small girl moved water to make the seals again. The water pressure on her own body was making it hard to do them rapidly. Her clone stopped moving for some seconds and sunk down. After a minute, she suddenly felt a disrupt in her chakra flow, as she needed air to continue doing this. She had been under water for to long, so she quickly pushed herself up to gasp for some air. (3/4)

Knowing she could pull it off now, she took a really deep breath and performed the jutsu again. Her clone sank down, to the bottom of the pond, which was nearly 50 cm deep. There she stayed, laying flat. Else disbanded both her genjutsu and the clone jutsu and surfaced. She walked op to Luri and handed him the scrolls back. She took out her slate to write down: '' Learned all''

Since Luri paid no attention, Else decided to leave and grab herself some food and rest.
