Goro and Mei kick rocks

[Goro Kaguya]

*sitting on top a boulder,waiting*

[meimei]

*appears before Goro Sensei, smiling*
It's so good to see you again Sensei

I have done some reserach on the earth element in preperation Sensei...

[Goro Kaguya]

And it is nice to see you as well.

*jumps off boulder and walks towards mei*

So do you recall what out of the five primary elements youre elemental affinity was?

[meimei]

Yes sensei, water

[Goro Kaguya]

Ahh yes, that is correct. So like dean this will be a bit difficult at first but im sure that you'll get the hang of it.

*places a stone into your palm*

How does that feel in your hand?

[meimei]

*feels the stone in her hand* Smooth, cool, strong, solid. It feels like all chaos could break loose around it but it would never change or be defeated. Its both strong as it defends itself and in its own way it can be used for attack.

[Goro Kaguya]

Sounds like you really know earth! ^_^ that is refreshing to hear.

I know what you to focus your chakra internally at your core but thinking of the firmness of the earth. Try to connect the firmness of the earth to yourself.

[meimei]

*I sit on the ground before you and place the palms of my hands onto the earth, feeling it between my fingers. Focusing hard, I feel the strong chakra build within the core of my being, really paying attention on making it as firm and solid as possible. I feel its stability and strength in, around and outside of me*

[Goro Kaguya]

Looks like you and the stone have bonded. You have found your inner earth chakra.

Now to separate those bonds. I want you to focus your earth chakra into the stone making it course and finite. Changing the stone into sand.

[meimei]

*closing my eyes and feeling the stone again in my hand, I build the strong, unyielding earth chakra in my mind... it feels like the earth is timeless... it'll withstand everything... nothing will ever break or destroy it...I feel its strength and as I feel the earth chakra pusling down my arm, through my hand into the heart of the stone I see how empty the core of the stone is. The earth chakra pulsates its life into the stone and the stone cannot take it... it starts to crumble...*

[Goro Kaguya]

*the stone turns into gravel*

Instinctively you've processed the earth into it's next form gravel. Very well done. Now continue this process and turn the gravel into sand.

[meimei]

*the gravel feels so bitty (literally) - like pieces of anger at being seperated from each other - the earth chakra continues to pulse on through me to each piece. I imagine the release that the earth can them by making them whole and one again, fluid and strong like grains of sand...*

[Goro Kaguya]

Nice try but you don't want to think whole with earth charka. especially when trying to utilize sand. Continue upon the path of breaking down the gravel until they are fine and course.

Keep those thoughts in mind and is shall occur.

*nods and smiles in affirmation*
*Building the earth chakra within me, I focus on letting it quake through mewith only 1 intention, breaking the gravel down. The chakra travels through me, my hand and then the gravel, chisiling it down*

[Goro Kaguya]

*the gravel break down into a course sand that begins to slip between your fingers*

Be sure not to lose all that sand. we'll need it for more exercises.

[meimei]

Yes Sensei!!! *gathers the sand into a glass jar and seals it up*
When you next get the chance sensei... I must cook you and dean some ramen.

[Goro Kaguya]

I love ramen actually! Chicken and vegetable is my favorite :D

Recall how the stone felt when it was solid and firm. Re-solidify the sand into a stone.

[meimei]

*I pour the sand into my hand once again, I imagine it feeling cool and hard, strong and whole... I focus my chakra with strength and energy, giving the sand form and shape...*

[Goro Kaguya]

*the sand reforms as gravel*

[meimei]

I see why you like this element so much, sensei
*I not just imagine the stone I feel the stone in my hand growing together, the chakra bonding it all stronger and stronger together, like the total opposite of errosion. It forms the stone hard, tight and smooth as silk*

[Goro Kaguya]

*the stone is reformed*

Indeed the best element out there by far!! for earth.

Anywho... do you remember when we made the sword out of water in our suiton sessions?

[meimei]

Yes sensei, I also remember you mentioning about Kisame during that time too

[Goro Kaguya]

Good i want you to focus your earth chakra into that stone and use the same manipulation you've used before to turn it into sword of stone.

[meimei]

Good i want you to focus your earth chakra into that stone and use the same manipulation you've used before to turn it into sword of stone.

Yes Sensei!
*holding the stone I see in mind a small dagger, hard and strong and whilst focusing my chakra with the image, see its handle 1st and slowly then the whole dagger. I pulsate the living earth chakra into the dagger, making it grow slowly but steadily into a large, stout sword*

[Goro Kaguya]

Make a water clone and have her make a water sword and then spar against each other. make it a brief spar.
