Taiki would be in the Training Grounds already. It was at this point in the day the sun would be on the eastern side of the sky, the people of the village would still be in their beds. As a Nara clan member, he felt like it was his job to learn the famous shadow imitation technique. Taiki was at the point where he needed a new technique. But to be a Nara or even classified as one he would need to learn how to us the shadow imitation technique. The technique would help him as a ninja. It was all about using it. Taiki would take out a kunai and sticks it in the ground, Taiki begins to walk to the center of the field, looking to the kunai. Taiki looking down at his shadow he would begin to say "Alright. It's time to stretch this shadow." Taiki would begin to make the rat hand symbol with his hands. Taiki started trying to learn the justu at the point.

Taiki now begins to channel his chakra within. The moment he would do this he would begin to try and use his Yin chakra now to possess the chakra to even use this technique. Taiki would begin to try and move his shadow. His shadow would begin to thicken and slowly move below Taiki's body. The justu would then be broken, snapping his shadow back to where it was originally placed. Now taking his hands out of the rat hand symbol and he would start to think more deep into the justu. Sure Taiki was able to show signs of manipulating his shadow, but it wasn't at all to the point where you can even call it a justu. It was at the point to where if a fire nature user, was learning Fire Ball Justu and was only able to make a small ember. Taiki would sigh and say "Maybe I'm not using enough chakra?" Taiki tried once again. Making the Rat symbol he would begin to use his chakra again. This time flaring it up a bit more, he was attempting to push his self more than what he was doing at the first attempt. Taiki would try again this time. Taiki now moving his shadow once again, turning the shadow thicker in color giving off the sign that he is manipulating it at this point. He would try to move now. The justu was broken at all. In fact, Taiki had a bit of control over it. Putting extra chakra into the technique seemed to work. But only a little. See sure Taiki could move it, but the length of that he tried to push it was not even close to reaching the kunai. Taiki was only able to move his shadow to about up to 5 meters. So every time he reached to about 7 meters the shadow would halt, no matter how much Taiki pushed it, it wasn't moving. Taiki's main goal was to get up to at least the Kunai, and that was at about up 40 meters away from him. Releasing his shadow he would just let the shadow retract to hs side on its own disappointed in what he was able to do.

Taiki had to push himself a lot more before he was able to even reach the kunai. Pushing himself even more now giving at least 50% of his chakra at this point he would redo the technique. Taiki would begin to bring up his hands once again. "Let's hope this is gonna be enough." Taiki would make his hands form into the rat hand sign. "This will have to do it!" At this point, Taiki made a huge leap in chakra to do this technique. He was originally using only 20% of what he had. He knew this wasn't that smart of a thing to do. What he should do is just go and train a bit more increasing his stamina. But there was something he had to prove to himself. That he was able to use this justu. It was most likely his pride in which gave him the strength to do this, pride can only go so far. Now using the technique at 50% of his chakra, he would begin to start moving his shadow once again. Shadow darkening in color once again. Now moving it, he would try to go straight to the Kunia. Moving the shadow further and further away from his body and closer to the kunai, Taiki past the point at which he was able to go the previous time before this attempt. Taiki smirked a bit, this at least gave him some form of happiest. But it didn't stop there, Taiki continues to go on. Pushing past 10 meters, then 15, then 20. Taiki was definitely showing improvement, but did he use enough chakra to get to the kunai. Taiki continued to go on. A drop of sweat could be seen going down Taiki's face. He had been focusing too hard on noticing the fact that he was beginning to run low on chakra. 25, this was the number of meters he had just past. But it wasn't enough for him to give up. Taiki new as he was moving that he wasn't going to be able to reach the Kunia at this level. But it didn't seem to stop him at all, he continued to push himself. 25 meters was passed at this point in time. He wanted to go on more, but sadly he couldn't. No, he didn't retract the justu back, he would just stop at 27 meters. Sure it was an okay level. But okay wasn't too satisfying for him. Taiki would stop trying to reach the kunai, for now. Disappointed in his ability to not reach the kunai. Taiki would then try to move this shadow around now, "First let's split this thing up"

Taiki now bringing himself to try and split up the one shadow into two, this didn't really take that much chakra for Taiki, it was more on the matter of focusing. Taiki begins to split the shadow apart at where it stopped which was around 27 meters, the ends of the shadow would begin to move apart and start to make a u-turn on their respective sides of the shadow. The main shadow was still in the middle of the two shadows now heading back towards Taiki. It wasn't the full shadow that was split apart, no. It was just its end which split. Taiki began to bring the to shadows his way, but around 20 meters or so. Which mean the two shadow didn't get that far. The shadows would begin to fade returning back to Taiki's side becoming normal once again. Taiki dropped down to one knee. Returning back to his face you could see the sweat begin to fall down his face. Taiki was heavily panting. He wasn't too out of it to pass out. But any longer he would have passed out. So did the shadow fade by its self? No, Taiki actually stops using the justu himself. Taiki noticed that he was running too low on chakra to continue so he made the smart decision and just stop using it. Taiki dropped down and sat on the floor. "Well. I did it. But. I will continue. To perfect. This justu." (With each period he spoke in pants.) Taiki sat in the training field and looked up. "Time. Seems to. Go By. Fast. When your. Hard at work." The sun would already be in the west. Taiki had been training for hours without him even knowing it. Taiki was still a little disappointed in himself not being able to reach the kunai, but he feels like he will be able to grow past that of the kunai with more practice. "This is my home. For the next. A couple of days." You could see that Taiki is regaining some of his chakra with a number of words he is able to say. Taiki would try and stand up at this point. He did stagger a little while getting up. But it wasn't to the degree that he would fall on the floor due to not being able to keep his balance. Taiki would begin to walk out the training grounds, he was heading into the village to try and get some food to regain some of his strength.
