firefly technique part 20

walked up to the memorial site of Konohagakure, this had become his usual training place as it wasn't surrounded by anything burnable, he'd aim his techniques upwards of the mountain that stood behind all the graves. The boy arrived at the scene with a rather sad and thoughtfull facial expression, he had just talked with Reiya and Natsuko and the fact that no one wanted to bring up the squad except himself between the three made him feel that way, he clenched one of his fists in anger as he gritted his teeth, the thought of not being strong enough again overwhelmed him. He wanted to protect those dear to him , Natsuko was knocked out during the siege of konoha by the three wolves and two jounin. Sure Soryen did infact kill two of the wolves but they were merely distraction for the main act, if he was just stronger that day he could've reached Natsuko faster and probably protected her. He felt that their relationship would be way different if that had happened, and squad activities would become a thing, but for now...no one was sure if the squad was even going to exist.

Regardless the boy found strength as he reminisced on the past , several days had passed since the last time he had trained rigorously, the rain that poured down enhanced his feelings even more, he would turn that feeling of guilt and energy inside of him to good use as a determined facial expression was listed.

He stepped forward and gazed at the height of the mountain, the five seals of his own jutsu would be cast in quick succession as he inhaled a large amount of air , he would simultaniously start to mold chakra in his stomach, the "flame" once more appeared as he closed his eyes and focused upon its shape, getting the size to be right was an easy task about now in his routine, the unique sparks that surrounded the fire appeared as the boy focused harder in attempt to increase the speed at which the flame danced, chakra control was getting better and at the start of the workout he'd have more over it.

The "feeling" was there, the warm heat increased in his gut as he knew it was ready to be released, he'd let the katon-based chakra travel upwards and into his lungs where it collided with the inhaled air , by hunching his back and leaning forward, he'd tilt his head towards air  and opened his mouth , a medium sized fireball would be sent flying along the mountain, leaving scorches but not damaging anything , he didn't want to stain the graves of the dead with burned rock. An intense sound was produced just as the flames were released from his mouth, the sparks surrounded the fireball yet again as the firecracker popping sound was heard as if a hundred were being lit and let to explode each second.

The distance it covered was pretty much the same, a mid to longe range it would reach before dispersing into thin air, what he truly focused on at this point was the speed which did indeed have a slight difference from the last time he released it, he was definetely getting better at this and most likely he would have it down, just like the size and raw-fire power that he had nearly perfected.
