Today class was being taught outside. Ebisu-sensai was standing in the training area with his arms crossed waiting for the students to arrive.

Fukurou didn't actually know there was going to be a class outside today, and so he had ventured to the training area of the academy to try and train his owls to fly. They had been making progress with Yuma and Riiko, but he knew he had to keep pushing them. Fukurou, without realizing Ebisu was below his tree, said, "Ok Kitsi... Your turn!" Knowing the only way to get Kitsi's attention was to through food, he tossed a mouse out of the tree, and directly in front of Ebisu-sensai...

Ebisu frowned looking down at the mouse and then back up at the perpertrator. He pushed his glasses back up, "That's hardly appropriate behavior for a ninja," he repremanded the young man.

Fukurou's eyes went wide and he hopped out of the tree, followed instantly by Kitsi, who flapped his tiny wings and landed with a soft thud, but scrambled instantly for the mouse. Ruu was still up on the branch, greeting their sensai with a polite, "Bwrrrrrrruwp!"
"Gomenasai, sensai... I.. I didn't see you there. I'm... I'm trying to teach Kitsi and Ruu to fly..."

"You should perhaps concentrate on yourself first. Todays lesson is walking up trees, are you planning on applying yourself," he said looking down at Fukurou sternly.

Ruu was excited at this news and gave a "Bwrrrrrruwp!" And stood horizontal on the tree and began to walk down towards Fukurou and Ebisu, obviously not relying on chakra...
"Umm, walking up trees? How do you do that?" Fukurou asked, actually a bit excited. He had lived in the forest most of his life, and had had his share of bumps and bruises from falling out of trees...

"With chakra," Ebisu said calmly before making the seals and walking up the tree stopping so he was standing upsidedown on one of the branches.

Fukurou's eyes were open wide and his mouth hung open slightly. Even Ruu seemed very impressed as he watched the sensai carefully. Fukurou went over the seals in his head a few times and then finally decided to try it... "Oh... Ok!" He formed the seals and put his foot tentitively on the tree trunk. Likewise, Ruu tried the jutsu as well, but he was only going to try and stay on Fukurou's shoulder.
Fukurou lifted his second foot off the ground to place on the tree, and fell backwards with a dry *thud*
Kitsi's eyes opened, he seemed to laugh, and then he went back to sleep. Ruu meanwhile, was already pulling at Fukurou's ear to make him get up and try again...

Ebisu released the jutsu and landed next to Fukurou calmly. He shook his head and helped Fukurou up. "What you have to do is concentrate the chakra in your feet. Be careful though, if you use too much you'll crack the tree instead of just gripping it."

"Bwrrrrrruwp!" Ruu said confidently and walked from Fukurou's shoulder to the tree and began to walk up the side of it. To Fukurou's surprise, actually with chakra instead (mostly) of his talons...
Fukurou nodded and solidified his expression in determination. Once again, he walked to the base of the tree oppisite Ruu and focused. This time he put one foot on the tree, and the bark instantly cracked. He shook his head, adjusted his position, and tried again. This time his foot held tight. Cautiously he lifted his second foot and put it onto the tree. Then he took a step, and then another, gradually building speed. "I"m doing it!" he said excitedly, and then promptly fell to the ground once more with another, painful sounding thud...

Ebisu smiled and then hid it pushing his glasses up his nose. "Very good, it's just practice now, don't lose your concentration or you'll fall again," he said holding out his hand to help Fukurou up again.

Fukurou took the hand and got to his feet. He looked at the tree in a very determined fashion. This time he placed one foot in front of the other, held, and then continued. A moment later, and he was standing on a high branch right beside Kitsi. He looked down at Ebisu as Ruu chirpped his approval. "So, in theroy, I could do as you did with this jutsu, Sensai, stand upside down?" he asked, trying to hide the nervousness from his voice...

Ebisu nodded slowly, "All you have to do is control your chakra properly," he said. "You're picking this up very quickly. Do you already train to control your chakra?"

Fukurou looked a little bit embarassed. "Well, umm... It's really the only thing I can do right now... Though, I'm starting to get the hang of making bunshins... Sort of..." Tentatively, Fukurou put one foot on the side of the branch to begin to try and stand upside down. He was much more cautious about this however, given his current hight...

"You may want to try that a little further down," Ebisu cautioned.
