Shinra Kidame had been watching the clean up of his latest spar from a distance by some earth chakra specialists of the village. Messing up the earth with jutsu was one thing, but to restore it to normal when it wasn't your handiwork was something else. He kept a distance, though the two jounin working together could tell that someone was watching, and studied how the loose earth moved. For a young genin, Shinra was someone who picked up on subtle little things. And he was formulating ideas on how to work on his earth jutsu.

First thing was first, when the two jounin had finished their job, and waved to the young Kidame (which caught him off guard), he took out a small explosive charge and set it up in the center of a training field. The blast was small enough when set off to disturb a few yards of earth which he could experiment with using his chakra. He knelt down by the pile, and flowed his chakra into it to be able to shape and mold it how he needed. Just like his earth corridor jutsu with the thought of an enemy being trapped inside.

Shinra dug his index finger intot he dirt on the outside of the little dome he built, and swirled his finger around it to simulate tearing earth turning palm. The result made the dome twist and cave in from all sides, crushing the imaginary foe inside. "And that's just the outside. Wonder what it's like on the inside." He pondered out loud. He looked a lot like a kid playing with a sand castle. It wasn't a thought that ocured to him.

He spent another good half hour building different shapes witht he disturbed rubble pile he blew up, and looked at how they reacted to subtle changes here or there, or how they behaved when less chakra or more chakra was applied during their shaping process. "I wonder--Best bet would be to find a sensei who knows about earth release."

Shinra placed his hands on the ground, focusing his chakra to make the earth move back into place, and managed to get half the job done before he stood up to dust himself off. "Welp, guess I have a new idea to try next time." He turned around and walked off to head back home and work on some new projects.
