Ari's bola practice, part the first

{Continuing from a previous session}--Now he knelt down and focused on the larger scroll that he had brought with him and unraveled that second scroll, holding within it a majority of the Junrei clan jutsus that they could perform at this given moment.  Though there were seals in place within the scroll that jumbled up the inking to those that could not handle the jutsu of certain ranks or if they did not have the kekkei genkai.  Magic ink works wonders like that, who knew?

Well Ari could make out the words of one of the things on there, Water Bolas.  It sounded weird and looked weird even more so than it sounded! Shooting water from the wrists outward like a projec-well to be fair he was able to make sticky whips from his wrists already. AND DON'T TAKE THAT PHRASE OUT OF CONTEXT!

Reading over the jutsu quickly a couple of times, he stood up and looked over at the wooden structure that was pulling straw dummies to and fro. He was a little exhausted, but he figured he could keep pushing his limits and increase how much his body could take while practicing this.

So there he stood, watching the dummies move as he focused and performed the handseals: Dragon, Monkey, Dragon Tiger.  Which was followed by the activation of his liver's mutation, which he used to send water toward his arms to make them feel heavier while he shrugged his shoulders and wiggled his arms about.  He would show the world that his clan could compare to the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure.  Focusing with that thought in mind, Ari formed the Dragon and Monkey handseals before throwing his left hand outward in a straight punch while the right recoiled to his side and upside down with his legs spread for a solid stance.

Of course, nothing came out and the dummies stopped moving.  This turn of events elicited a deadpan look from Ari who jogged over to the machine and started cranking the wooden handle again, slowly turning the rope and cogs to get the dummies to strafe left and right.  He then jogged right back to where he was and started the hand seal process all over again, like he was in some sort of Groundhog Day style of repeating his events until he got it right.

On his second attempt, he got water to shoot out, but it was much to thin and not in the desired shape at all! He returned to focusing and preparing himself for the jutsu, this time focusing on a spinning set of spheres tied together by a chord. Instead of just punching it out for now, he twirled his arm above his head like he was spinning the bolas, actually getting the shape in his mind,feeling as though he were actually spinning them!

Though this just made him look like some nut twirling his arm around in the air, up until he brought his arm around in a wide arc and threw a haymaker punch toward the training dummies.  This sent the bolas out from his wrist at break neck speeds, quickly coiling around and weighing down one of the dummies by the arm!

Maybe it was just a fluke? Maybe it was pure luck? One thing was certain was that Ari wasn't using the proper form.  THe illustrations in the scroll depicted members who were able to launch it with a simple punch or single haymakers, instead of warming up their arms with the ridiculous ritual he just did.

So the young lord was at it for the next fifteen minutes, practicing shooting hte bolas from his arms with a few successes using the proper form.  It wasn't until after having to turn the crank on the machine a fourth time that he was able to shoot the bolas off of his wrists while in motion himself.  Then he practiced the accuracy of it and pushing his body with his kekkei genkai active and abusing the jutsu to the point he fell backwards onto his rear and heaved out a sigh while looking up at the sky.
