*Attempts to stop halfway and begin moving again*

Oooh! Good job! Standing sideways is a bit harder than running since you don't have momentum helping you, and your progress has been really impressive, too!

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Had taken a stance only to end up looking as confused as you are.*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*The fading stops and my presence is restored*
I—Um...What?

You judge me too harshly. I am held to a higher standard than those around me.

Thank you. I aim to exceed all expectations.

I think so. Do you?

Can someone explain to me what just happened.
Because in split seconds everything went from fine to bad and then back to fine again.

<Snipped quote by The World>

Yep! And it's time to start learning the intricacies of hand seals. You'll need to learn how to build up chakra before you'll be successful with this, but basically your goal is to walk across this lake. It's the same principle as the tree running, but since the water moves and flows, and isn't solid, it's much harder. The Tiger and Ram seals are the most useful single-seal ways to charge your chakra. Use them and focus on filling your body with chakra, then direct it towards your feet the way you learned to from tree running. Then try to stand on the water and walk as far as you can. That's the gist of it, and this is the final "basic" method to improve your control.

*Closes my eyes, focuses on the base of my foot and the surface of the water, takes a deep breath, and steps forward*

<Snipped quote by The World>

Salvador: *Grumbles again and walks off, jacket in hand.
Samantha: Thank you for the offer, but we prefer to keep our clothes from getting wet in the first place. *Walks off and after a few moments later both of them come back and join suzy under the waterfall in their own swimwear.*

*After a couple weeks you all find that you can enter the state fairly easily*
Jack: Alright. Now it's time to awaken you all to ki, since the training for your other abilities will in turn boost your ki naturally, making it the last thing to learn. It's important to understand the basics of ki are Vigor, your health and life force, Courage, strength of desire, and Mind, your mental state. These things combine to form your ki and control of it.
*Jack taps each of you on the forehead and you all gain a sense of being lighter weight and more aware*

*You manage to stay on it for a moment before falling through* No worries! That's normal. It'll take a bit of practice before you can do it.

*Suzy looks over herself when it happens.*
*Salvador blinks before smirking.* Desire eh?
*Samantha slowly gets up, seaming to maintain the meditative state quite well as she bows.*

As you probably noticed, the control you gained from tree climbing was more similar to magnetism, in that if you used too little chakra you'd fall, and if you used too much you'd propel yourself off the tree. But with water walking, you had to be emitting a constant stream of chakra and use the repellent force to walk across the water's surface, and the amount of chakra that needs to be emitted changed constantly. The next step is to do intense meditation where you focus on moving your chakra through your body in its natural pathways but at a faster or slower rate than it normally would. This can also help you learn the nature of the basic hand seals by holding one as you do it.
There are five basic "release" types of jutsu; fire, earth, water, air, and lightning. Each person is aligned with one release type naturally, which they'll have an easier time using. You'll find that Tiger is linked with fire and earth, Snake is linked with earth and lightning, Bird with air, and Dog with water. Once you've gotten to the point you can change the speed efficiently and quickly, you'll be to the point where the best way to improve further would just be learning specific jutsu.

Jack: Now it's time for you three to split up. Suzy, you head over to the training gear. *Points to the exercise equipment* You two continue with this or take a break for a while, we'll get her started then come back to you two while she practices.

How do I best meditate on these chakra flows?

Hmmm. I withdraw my previous accusations. My apologies.
