	Shouken stood at water's edge of a small pond on the outskirts of Konoha, where he had been touching up on his techniques. His gaze was fixed upon a rather large tree on the opposing side of the small body of water. Shouken's eyes closed slowly, as his palms met in the center of his body. With great speed, Shouken conducted the required set of hand signals and prepared his jutsu.

With great concentration, the watery chakra condensed and was ready to be unleashed. Lunging forward and widening his eyes, Shouken unleashed the jutsu, aiming at the big tree. 

	The shot skimmed acrossed the water, parting the pond to where the ground beneath was almost visible. It struck the tree with great force, nearly knocking it down...But not quite. 

	Shouken, furious with his lack of strength, assumed the appropriate position once again and brought his palms back to the center of his body. He reached deep within his mind and soul, attempting to scrounge up all his remaining chakra to give one final effort. 

	Flashbacks of his mother flurried through his thoughts and filled him with rage. Immediately after the thought, Shouken repeated the process of the jutsu, still aiming at the tree.

	After condensing his chakra, Shouken spit his shot out. The ball of water was much larger than last, splashing much of the water in the pond onto the bank. The water flew much faster and with much more intensity. It struck the tree along with 3 others behind it, clearing a small patch of the forest. Shouken excited, yet exhausted, let out a small laugh and collapsed to the ground on his back, completely drained of chakra. 

	Once Shouken regained his energy he had decided on returning to the village to mingle with his peers and possibly look for a challenge. He had plenty of time before his father wanted him home and figured a walk back to the walls of konohagakure would allow him to recuperate most of his chakra.
