Dangerous Training (25 Years ago) (WIP)

[Note: This doesn't take place in the Leaf Village. I'm merely placing it here because it is jutsu training.]

Seth was kneeling down, examine the bed rock of the mountains surface. He then looked around, making sure that there was more than enough space. This is a perfect place to train. he thought to himself. With that he took out a piece of chalk and started to draw a large circle around himself. He repeated this process until there were five circles, each larger than the one before it, around him. Seth then began to draw a series of runes at each pole point and in between them four larger runes.

Seth examined the circle and symbols, making sure they were correct. To add even more confidence in his abilities, Seth also checked a strange and ancient book that he had sitting on a near by rock. He flipped through he pages until he found what he was looking for. The Ring of Ogham. The page had a various writings and what looked like instructions to perform something. Seth turned the page and found a picture of a completed Ring of Ogham. He matched up the picture to what he had drawn on the ground and after fixing a small thing or two the ring matched the picture in the book. Seth then made a hand sign a created a Kage Bunshin. Seth handed the clone the book and told him to keep out of range so that if anything went wrong then the book would remain safe. With that the clone jumped back and started to climb further up the mountain, to keep out of range of Seth. Once Seth thought the clone was far enough away he began to inscribe the earth element into the center of the ring. Once this was done the ring would then be able to grant Seth complete control of the earth, or at least if what he had read and studied from the book was true he would be able to. With that he centered his mind and cleared his thoughts, allowing three words to hold in place Beith-Luis-Nion. With those words in his head he opened his eyes and called out the words of power. "Beith-Luis-Nion!" Just then the Ring of Ogham started to glow and the ancient power of the earth started to flow through the ring and through Seth. At first the power was unstable and a little overwhelming but Seth kept his footing and tried to gain control of the power. Ashe fought to keep the power in check, various pulses of power leaked out, causing the earth around him to twist and churn. Rocks started to crack and the ground shook like a constant stream of tremors were running up the mountain. Small pebbles moved around the bedrock as the vibrations became more intense. The energy from the ring started to glow brighter and Seth was now forced to spread out his footing to keep himself up right. He tried to move his arms outward to see what would happen and with it the earth itself started to move apart, slowly but surely.

Seth noticed that the rings powers were working and tried to expand them further. He slowly moved his hands to the best of his abilities, his arms now shaking slightly because of the intense flow of power. With it the earth started to churn to Seth's will, but it was a struggle to do so. Sweat ran down his face as he struggled to gain more control over the flowing energy of the ring, his face and bare arms were red and his veins were bulging slightly due to the strain on his body. There was no doubt in Seth's mind now that his body wasn't going to be able to withstand much more of this power so with his remaining strength, Seth slowly started to make his way out of the ring. Stepping with one foot in front of the other, each step staining his body more and more, he made his way out of the Ring of Ogham. Once he took that last step out of the ring, the ring stopped glowing and the tremors stopped. Seth bent over, resting his hands on his knees and breathed heavily. There was no doubt in his mind that this was going to take time to master and control such power. He sat down for a moment and beckoned for the clone to come down with the book. Once the clone was there, Seth grabbed the book and started to read once again about the ring. He was looking for any sign of easing up on the rings energy, but couldn't find any. He could only think of what kind of power the elders of Ogham could have had to be able to control such power. With that he handed the book back to the Bunshin and decided to rest a bit to let his body recover from the first test of the ring. The next day he would try again and see if he could control it any better.

As the sun was rising into the sky, Seth was preparing to once again attempt at controlling the Ring of Ogham. His body was now at full strength again and ready to withstand the strain, or at least that is what he had hoped. Seth stepped into the center circle and cleared his mind once more, only thinking of the words of power, but unlike last time he was going to not just focus on activating the ring but also allowing the rings power to flow through his mind and body easier. He hoped that this would allow his body to more easily controls the extreme strength that the ring possessed. With the exhaling of a deep breath, Seth spoke the words of power. "Beith-Luis-Nion" with those words the Ring of Ogham once again started to glow with power. Its energy started to flow through Seth's body at the same alarming rate as before. As this started to happen Seth allowed for some of the chakra to start channeling through his mind, as he tried to better gain control of it. Surprisingly this actually worked a little and allowed Seth to control the chakra better, but did not lighten up on the strain of the chakra on his body. Seth looked to his right and saw a boulder in the bedrock. He moved his hand in the direction of the boulder and then slowly closed his hand, his muscles tightening as he did so. Cracking noises could be heard coming from the rock as cracks started to appear. Seth then slowly moved his hand upward, as to lift the boulder and to no surprise the boulder lifted off the ground slowly. Sweat dripped down Seth's face as he tried harder and harder to control the flowing power of the ring. His muscles tightened more and more and his veins started to bulge out the more Seth tried to move the boulder. Just then when he managed to raise it a good 20 meters off the ground, the muscles in his hand twitched and his hand closed up, causing the boulder to crack and almost instantly shatter and break into several pieces. When this happened Seth had lost most of his control over the ring and its power started to pulse and become unstable. Without any second thoughts Seth jumped backwards, out of the Ring of Ogham, and onto the secure bedrock behind him. As his body left the ring, its power subsided and the ring stopped glowing.

Seth was left breathing heavily as he recovered from the strain that the ring had placed on his body. It wasn't as bad as his first time trying to use the ring but it had still taken quite a toll on his body. But this wasn't going to keep him from trying. After a moment or two of rest Seth got back up and stepped back into the ring. He called out the words of power and once again tried to better his ability to control the ring of Ogham.

[Time Skip Period: Considering this training takes place over 25 years.]

It was beginning, Seth's tenth year since he started training his ability to control the Ring of Ogham. He had now developed the ability to withstand the rings power and control it, though it still left a serious after strain on his body. Over the years he found that training his body physically as well as mentally helped with his ability to control the rings power. But it still wasn't enough for him. After all he had just learned how to control the earth through the ring as well as wind. But both at the same time would be too strenuous on his body. He knew that to do both he would have to practice far more on his control and endurance before he could accomplish such a feat. So with this in mind he began training again. Day and night he training, until his body was almost sapped of all of its strength. Though as a Shinigami Seth didn't need to sleep or eat, it did speed up his recovery process. Being this Seth came up with a system that allows him to train then rest and be able to train the day after at 100% again. During his resting days he would train his mind and body, then the next he would train using the ring. He did this for years and years until his body and skill seemed almost at its peak.

[Period of five years:]
Over the next five years Seth did nothing but test his endurance and control. During this time he managed to lighten the after effects of the ring on his body. During this time, Seth discovered that by training their entire lives, the Monks of Ogham learned to control the ring through physical and mental training. This allowed Seth to understand how the monks controlled the ring better without it having horrible after effects on their bodies. Luckily for him he had already been doing this. By the beginning of Seth's 20th year of training he had fully mastered the use of the ring and the control of its power. This left only one more test for him to do. He had to learn how to use what he learned and train himself to be able to control two elements at once using the ring.

[End of training: Period of Seth’s final 10 years of the 25 year training period.]
Over the next ten years, Seth trained constantly in his ability to control two elements at once with the Ring of Ogham. By using the same training system as before, Seth was able to keep his body in tip top physical condition while training, which helped greatly in dealing with the after strain. Some days Seth was left unable to move, due to the physical and mental strain. But after a few days rest he would be back up on his feet and training again.

It has been nearly 25 years since I started this training. I wonder how the Leaf Village is doing. I'm sure they have a new Hokage by now. Seth stood up and walked over to the Ring of Ogham. He said the words of command and the rings power started to flow through him. Maybe it is about time I return to the Village. My training is almost complete as it is. Seth extended his arms outward and the earth around him began to shift and rise. Then by swirling his hands, Seth started to create a wind that started to swirl around him and the ground around the ring. he then raised his hands up and the earth around the ring started to separate from the ground. The wind took underneath the earth and made Seth and the ring rise up from the ground on a floating platform of earth, keeping the earth that the ring of inscribed on intact. Seth used the wind to make the platform float and fly around in the air as he also used the rings power to create other gusts of wind. He then made large boulders created from the bedrock below to rise up from the ground, using the wind to lift them farther up into the air, up to his level of altitude. He made these boulders swirl around him and then one by one threw them in various directions, catching them with new gusts of wind he had created. Seth made sure he kept total concentration while doing this, for one mistake could lead to causing him to lose control. Seth then started to focus more on the boulders now. Making them change in form and shape, turning them into large spikes of earth. he threw these spikes down and into the ground, digging them deep into the bedrock below. He then made their shapes change into tower like structures, all forming a circle like structure of pillars. Seth then made the platform of earth hover down in the middle of the pillars and center itself perfectly between them. With a easy turn of his feet the platform dig into the bedrock and once again merged with it. Seth looked at the pillars and moved his hands slightly, detailing various runes and seals into the stone pillars. Once he was done with this he examined them closely, making sure they were exactly dead on. They were as he wanted and with that he stepped out of the Ring of Ogham, ending its channeling power.

Seth was done now. He had finished his training to the point in which he could return home to Konoha, and with that he packed up his things and began it trek down the mountains, heading for Konoha, back to his home. Behind him, Seth left a shrine. One that bared the Ring of Ogham, and the rest with various runic protection stones. Which would keep anyone from using the already prepared ring for their own use. Also if Seth ever needed to return there to train further, he would be able to.
