It was 4 am in the morning, no sound was to be heard, not even the sound of mice. Xylo’s eyelids heavy, and crusty; he rubbed them both vigorously trying to shake himself awake. Letting a puff of air escape his chest as he sat up. He woke up wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, duck ones at that. His body, well toned, and muscular, he swung his legs off the bed and he rested his arms on his legs, running his hands through his brown hair. He looked up and tightened his hands and released them several times cracking his knuckles. He looked outside through the slits in his eyes. He could barely see as he struggled to keep his eyes opened. It was pitch black, no sun was about to show by the looks of it. No birds were out either, but he was up, barely. He had a long day of training ahead for the upcoming Chunin finals. He needed to master some before entering.
Getting up slowly, Xylo reached down and picked up one of his clean shirts that was resting on the chair. It was a tight muscle shirt that showed off his muscles. It was a bright white shirt, and he slid it over his head. Pulling it over his shirt, it ran over and traced all of his muscles on him. He let it snap as it struck his skin and stuck. Rubbing his eyes again trying to wake himself, he grabbed the pair of pants on the floor, where he let them drop by his bed. They hung a bit short of his feet and let his legs move fluidly. He tiptoed silently towards the kitchen and showed half the pantry into his bag before moving silently and swiftly towards the door. Grabbing his ninja tools and headband, he slung the headband onto his arm and tools on his leg and backside. He then slipped into his shoes and walked out the front door.
Walking swiftly out the door, Xylo was greeted by a cool blast of wind, it was still early, but cool for this time of summer. Xylo shivered a bit as his teeth chattered. Rubbing his arms slightly to get the feeling back, he walked briskly towards the training area. Reaching into his back pocket as he walked on, he withdrew a scroll and unrolled the first part of it. Skimming it slightly, Xylo read through a jutsu he was planning on working on today. A strong Donton type. Reaching the training field around five thirty am, the sun had a few scattered rays peeking over the horizon.
Before starting out, Xylo did a few stretches and warm ups. To start out, Xylo did squats, squatting all the way to the ground before falling over and shot up. After each up, he backflipped and went back to squats. Did fifty of those to get his legs working, then he pulled on his gloves from his bag and began punching a tree in several spots, working on hooks, uppercuts, and several jabs. Working up a quick sweat, Xylo grinned as he did some deep breathing to calm his breath.
Xylo knelt down and formed each sign slowly to memorize the pattern. Near the end of the series of seals, Xylo finished off with and slamming of his hands and looked up. Ryne stood up and extended his hand, spreading out his fingers as wide as he could. “Tsuchi Hada no jutsu.” Xylo mumbled as a the stone and rock near by starts to twist and turn up an earth clone of Xylo's that was formed nearby.

These clones can be also created by the earth that is underground, allowing for the user to possibly use the clones to sneak up and surprise their opponent.
Letting out a sigh, Rein squatted down and ran his finger through the dirt. He needed more power and more chakra. Closing his eyes, Rein went through the string of hand signs again. This time a bit faster, Rein added more chakra and power to it. Channeling more chakra, his hand began to vibrate with tremendous power. “Tetsu Tsuchi no jutsu!” Rein shouted this with more authority and power. More stones and rock started to form around the clone that he had made earlier. This time the the stone were more fine and dense than before. It created a small barrier around the clone making an even more fine defense strengthening clones defense. Rein sat there proud of himself knowing that he just created something for himself that would help him gain the upper hand of battle in just about any situtation. Knowing of this Rein decided to stop for a rest and continute somemore training later on in the day.

Next, later on that day Rein tried a more complex version. Going for another string of seals, Rein concentrated harder. Breathing to control the chakra concentration, Rein closed his eyes and felt the power surge through him. Breathing, Concentrating, Control. All three Rein was doing. He opened his eyes and held his hand wide open. “Resudo,” Rein said quietly, “Tenshou!” Rein said as the earth below started to crumble. The stones within it started to twist and turn up forming a vortex of stone. Grinding his teeth, Rein went for the string of hand signs and froze at the final seal. Gathering and distributing his chakra, he extended his hand and spread his fingers and his hand ignited in a earth shakening terror. “Resudo Tenshou!” Rein yelled out again. Only this time the jutsu was performed better and was more controlled. In fact it was controlled rather well. Biting his lip, Rein knelt down one final time and formed the string of hand signs again. Following the correct way of forming the created jutsu, he tried to ignited the earth once again. “Resudo Tenshou!” Rein roared as he tried the jutsu once more. This time their was nothing to show for it. Suddenly, Rein collasped for he has ran out of chakra from all the intense training he put in during the days work.
