Ulkira walked into the Training Grounds, carrying a pile of logs in a sack over his shoulder. He was going to practice a jutsu today, Kaji Bunshin no Jutsu. Stopping, Ulkira looked around. This spot looked good enough, a small circle of dirt surrounded by grass. Setting the sack down, Ulkira opened it and began taking the logs out. Once he had taken them out, he placed them all together at the centre of the dirt circle and stepped back. To perform Kaji Bunshin no Jutsu, he would first need a source of fire. This technique was almost like Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu, except that it used fire to make a Bunshin of the user. Ulkira brought his hands up and began practicing the handsigns fro Kaji Bunshin no Jutsu. He kept at it until he could perform the signs perfectly and quickly. He then formed the handsigns required to perform Katon, Goukyakyuu no Jutsu. Ulkira brought chakra to his chest, held it for a second while he brought his hand to his mouth, and then exhaled. A giant fireball erupted out of his mouth and set the pile of logs on fire. Ulkira then performed the handsigns he had just practiced for Kaji Bunshin no Jutsu, and said, “Kaji Bunshin no Jutsu.” The fire in front of him flickered, and then began to rise. The flame began to take the shape of a human. Soon, the details appeared and there stood a copy of Ulkira. The Bunshin stepped out of the fire and Ulkira sized it up. “Well, you’re a clone alright. But can you do what I can?” Quickly, Ulkira flicked a kunai at the Bunshin, who caught it in one and lowered it, looking the real Ulkira in the face. “Of course I am,” the Bunshin replied. Ulkira nodded at it and the clone reverted back into a pile of embers. Ulkira put out the fire, grabbed the sack he had brought and began making his way out of the Training Grounds. As he walked, he felt someone watching him. Turning around, he glanced at a nearby tree, where he saw a boy leaning against it, looking at Ulkira. Ulkira asked the boy what he wanted. The boy simply laughed and said that Ulkira was a weakling for an Uchiha. Ulkira’s face was expressionless as the boy continued to insult. As the boy kept talking, Ulkira had it. Large snakes erupted out of his sleeves and wrapped themselves around the boy, binding him. The boy struggled as Ulkira walked up to him and stuck his face in front of his. “Don’t ever insult me again,” he warned. Ulkira turned around and walked away, the snakes uncoiling around the boy and slithering back up Ulkira’s sleeves.
