I think this training is beginning to click.

Good! Then we're about ready to begin the second step. There's a bit of learning to do so we'll repeat it as we go through your next step. By moving your hands in certain ways, you can better control your chakra and manipulate it into doing certain things. For example...
*My hands flash together quickly, too fast to see more than a blur and I take a breath before breathing out fire away from you* 
That's a pretty simply technique, generally referred to as "jutsu" when talking about chakra based techniques, specifically the "fireball jutsu." I'm going to be teaching you the various hand signs as we do your control training. If you're confident, we can move on to the next level of control training, or we can continue with the leaf if you'd rather keep things low-key as you're learning the signs.
