Bone Pulling
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique that allows the Kaguya member the capability of exerting, and pushing out a bone out of their inner body.
Special: ---
Drawback: Whenever used the user undergoes the capability of disease under effect increasing the calcium within their body which makes them closer to dieing unless gaining medical treatment.
Description: The Kaguya at this stage is capable of contracting their muscles pushing their very bones upwards and out of their body when desired. They are capable of dislocating the bone within the body and begin to ease it out without much effort. Because of the bone, calcium in their body the bone is quickly replaced from the one that is eased and pushed out. The way it works is that the Kaguya has a great control within their inner body. They can control their muscles and their bones better then any creation ever. With that saying, the bones and nerves constrict around the bone greatly, as the body works as a squeezer, squeezing out the bone out of the body until it finally pops out of the skin in which is needed later on for other techniques.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. This is the basic of basics and must be known in order to use other Jutsus of the Bloodlimit.

Her father stood before her, his hand stretched high to the sky. His fingers raveled and unraveled a few times. With a sickening pop!, a straight, ivory bone jutted up from his shoulder. A bit of flesh and blood stained the very tip of the bone, but Ayano's father showed no signs of pain. His face showed a compromise between a smile and a smirk as he reached for the bone and pulled it straight into the air, the sun glistening behind it. The bone itself was a few feet in length. “The bone is replaced within your body every time you enact this jutsu,” he explained to his daughter as she listened, boredom plaguing her existence at the moment. She didn't care about learning this jutsu whatsoever. Her father noticed. “I know you don't care about learning techniques, but as long as you are a shinobi of this village, I will teach you. You can come eat when you've learned it.” With that, he turned his back and walked back into their house.

Goddammit.

While she knew the basics of how Kaguyas' bodies worked, the only techniques Ayano was familiar with were the calcium ones. She didn't know how to pull entire bones out of her body. She stood, slouched as always, and looked at her arm. Chakra shot from the core of her chest into her right arm. Her eyes closed for a moment as she felt her energy infuse into her right arm. Ayano figured if she could just build chakra within one of her bones in her arm, she could push it out her wrist and complete the jutsu. So, with that thought process in mind, she continued to push the flow of chakra from her chest into the bones in her right arm. After a few minutes passed, Ayano let out a breath and finally opened her eyes

With her chakra surrounding and infusing one of the bones in her right arm, Ayano started to squeeze the bone with her energy. She needed to contract the muscle a lot more than it was right now in order to actually push it out of her body. Her chakra squeezed as hard as Ayano could allow it. It was a weird feeling, like something was out of place. Something was off. It didn't hard, it just felt... weird. Ayano felt her arm slightly deflate, but she couldn't push it out yet. It was about the size it needed to be, but she just couldn't figure out how to get the bone out of her wrist. She sighed; a simple jutsu such as this shouldn't take her so long. She's too smart for that.

Instead of only surrounding the bone with her chakra, Ayano infused her nerves themselves with the chakra as well. Her nerves would have to act as the lubricant so-to-speak in order for the bone to get pushed out. Otherwise, Ayano figured anyway, it would be an excruciatingly painful process. Why had her father left? She had no idea what the hell she was doing. Continuing with it anyway, her chakra coated her nerves like a wave covering a beach; it was simple. Ayano, with an identical smirk/smile to her father's crossing her mouth, pushed the bone out of her right arm in one, fluid motion and grabbed the “hilt” of it with her left hand, finishing the process of pulling the bone out easily. She looked at it. It hadn't hurt at all, it just felt weird. She swung it around a few times. Her hand was holding what really felt like a hilt, while the opposite end of it was pointed.

“Huh.”

The Kaguya bloodlimit sure is interesting.

Spread my roots
Rank: D
Skill: Enables the user to stay in place.
Effect: Taijutsu
Special: None
Drawback: Leaves holes in sandals or shoes. Doesn’t work on wet or weak terrain such as sand or mud.
Description: Using the ability to manipulate bones within one’s body, the user releases bones from the sole of their feet, similar to “Dance of the Seedling Ferns” though on a much smaller scale. With this technique the user is only as strong as their bones are which means a D-rank user can only withstand the shockwave or power of a D-rank strike, a C-rank user the strength of a C-rank, and so on and so forth. This technique was designed for the Taijutsu influence this blood limit has on the shinobi world, which makes sure they aren’t blown away from their enemy that would otherwise try to increase their distance apart from another through the use of a shockwave or wind-like jutsu. The bones created are much like roots in the ground, spreading in random directions into the earth, spreading to a maximum ten foot diameter and ten feet deep.
Limit: Kaguya

After having had some brunch, Ayano and her father returned back to the outside of their home so that she could learn a new technique. “Take off your shoes,” he instructed her. She listened. Standing a few feet apart, her father did a set of handseals. Knowing the earth-release and also being a part of the Kaguya, a huge rock carrying her father was lifted off the ground. The rock levitated off of the ground fifteen feet with her father just chilling on top of it. “Watch.” The rock flipped completely upside-down, but her father remained standing on it the whole time. While Ayano thought that was simply because he infused his feet with chakra to stay on it, when he lifted his foot, there were bones sticking out of his foot that essentially nailed him to the piece of earth. He returned back down to the ground. “Your bones are going to be your roots. Let me know when you've learned this one.”

Sigh.

Ayano immediately fell to the ground, sitting on her butt. She bent her right leg so that she could see the bottom of her foot. What a weird bloodlimit. She closed her eyes and decided she would do the same thing for this jutsu as she had done for the last. She began to infuse chakra into the soles of just her right foot for now. There was no reason to do both feet at the same time. Get one, then get the other, and then do both. With this mentality, it was only a matter of seconds before chakra stimulated the soles of her feet. Ayano, with excellent chakra control, moved just the appropriate amount from the center of her chest where her chakra was “manufactured,” so to speak, into the bottom of her foot for the technique.

Once the chakra was in the bottom of her right foot, Ayano began to enveloped the bones there with said chakra. She covered and smothered her foot with her energy. She didn't need a very large amount of chakra or a very long time to do this to her foot. This technique was easier than the last one because she was only jutting out a few bone spikes from her foot rather than pulling out an entire bone (although that was just one bone whereas this is a bunch of smaller ones). Disregarding this thought, Ayano opened her eyes and looked at the bottom of her foot as she used her chakra-embedded bones and nerves to slowly push out the white spikes. It looked very weird, but it was successful nonetheless. Before ever testing it, Ayano figured she might as well try both at the same time now. It was easy enough for one, why not both?

Repeating the exact same process as before, except with both her feet this time, Ayano shifted her position a bit: she sat in more of an Indian-style seating, looking at the bottoms of both her feet. Again, she enveloped the nerves and bones in the bottoms of both her feet with her chakra. She never closed her eyes this time, intent that she would get it on the first try. With that confident mentality, Ayano began to push out the bones in her feet. Just like before, the white spikes jutted out successfully. Ayano stood up slowly and planted both of her feet firmly into the ground. She then moved her upper body back and forth. She didn't fall over. She moved left and right. Nope, still sturdy. Ayano allowed the bones to just fall out of her body, replacing them with more.

Easy enough.

Seiðr Halo
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user creates a Halo made out of chakra near their body.
Special: ---
Drawback: These halo have no effect on the world unless jutsu are used with them. The bright glow makes stealth hard if not impossible.
Description: The user creates a bright glowing Halo made out of chakra with a diameter of 100 centimeter near their body. The colour of the glow can be altered by the user. Per time learned, one is capable of creating another Halo. When first created, a Halo will appear within a meter from the user, and from then on tend to swirl about behind their back unless they are used. The user can move these Halo through the air as they please as long as they are within eyesight.
Limit: Clan jutsu.

Moving from the Kaguya to the Dhenada, Ayano decided that she had seen this technique from both her parents enough times to learn it on her own. She stood up, still slouching, with the most basic handseal, the Tiger, in front of her. She began to gather chakra and allowed it to exit her body and hover in the air just in front of her face. She started to shape the chakra into an ovular formation, a sphere of sorts. The chakra, colorless to Ayano, started to spin in the air. First, it rotated slowly, and then faster and faster, but it was still just chakra; nothing had been formed yet. Ayano wanted perfect preparation so that the final product would be just as polished.

After a substantial amount of chakra had been gathered into this rotating circle, Ayano opened her eyes. She crossed her fingers over one another to make the Hare sign. As soon as her fingers crossed each other, Ayano allowed her chakra to go free. Before her very eyes, a halo was created. This was one of the more basic techniques available to a particular sub-set of Dhenada users: the Heaven techniques. Smiling to herself that she managed to do it so quickly, Ayano decided that she would play around with the halo a little bit.

At the moment, it was golden, just as many would picture a halo being. Ayano thought of the color green and, with the connection between her and the halo thanks to her chakra, the halo turned green. She thought of the color blue, and the halo turned blue. Whatever color she wanted it to be, her chakra granted it to her. Ayano walked forward and the halo followed obediently behind her. She could spin it as much as she wanted to. She did realize, though, that she couldn't enlarge or shrink it more than how it appeared. That wasn't a big deal for the sake of this one technique, though.

Chakra Gavinha
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Makes it possible to let tendrils come out of the Halo, allowing the user to perform more jutsu with the Halo.
Special: ---
Drawback: These tendrils have no effect on the world unless jutsu are used with them. The bright glow makes stealth hard if not impossible.
Description: Once activated, the user can make several bright glowing tendrils slide out of the Halo, all made out of chakra, and all having the same kind of glow as the Halo they come out of. Per time this jutsu is learned, one can create 10 tendrils per Halo.
Limit: One must have the at least one Seiðr Halo activated.

[0/5]

Figuring that she might as well continue with these particular clan techniques, Ayano figured she would learn one more before changing to something else. Putting her hands back into that very basic handseal, Ayano closed her eyes in her slouched position and began to gather chakra into the same rotating circle with which she had just familiarized herself. In no time, the same golden halo was formed. She opened her eyes, smiling to herself that she managed to do it that quickly again. She closed her eyes quickly, for this wasn't just a repeat of what she had learned; it was time to do something new.

Her chakra smothered and covered the halo. She needed to get some tendrils to come out of it. Being the devilish little lady that she is, Ayano only pictured black tendrils. Long, black tentacle-looking things that could jut out of this perfectly golden halo, giving it a look of corruption. Ayano thought of them like veins in a way, spreading out of the glowing halo. This is obviously not how the original Dhenada thought that their techniques were going to be used. Opening her eyes, she crossed her fingers into the “Hare” sign again and sure enough, the tendrils began to grow out of the halo.

Ayano, though, had to keep up a constant flow of chakra between herself and the halo and between the halo and the tendrils. The vein-looking tentacles grew higher and higher, coming out of the halo a few inches in every direction. Once they all stopped growing, Ayano dropped her hands but kept up her flow of chakra. The halo moved around as she commanded it, the tendrils tickling her cheek as she looked at it. As with the previous technique, she thought of different colors, and the halo and the tendrils alike changed colors to do her bidding. Soon enough, though, the tendrils and the halo evaporated together. Ayano was already getting bored.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

After a mediocre lunch, Ayano took a break from training and accompanied her father to the market to pick up some groceries. Before entering, however, a gang of thugs had taken control of the store and blocked off the entrance. “Stay here,” her father instructed; Ayano, not one to disrespect her parents, obeyed. She stood some fifteen feet back from the entrance while her father approached one of the bandits. There was one in front of him, two to his sides, and one behind him. Ayano watched patiently, trying to make out words, but they were talking quietly. Before she knew it, one of the thugs swung at her father from his left side. Without batting an eye, he launched his fist to his flank and easily deflected the incoming punch. Ayano smirked a bit; these guys didn't know what they were getting into.

Ayano's father was a master of the brawling style. He could never be flanked or ambushed unknowingly.

The bandit to her father's right used the body flicker ability proficiently enough to zig-zag to his back, unsheathing a hidden katana. He swung diagonally, top right to bottom left, attempting to slice straight through his neck. Shedding a single bone, Ayano's father ducked and used a Kaguya technique to produce a sword made of his own bones, blocking it and shoving the thug backward a few feet. This continued for a while as Ayano memorized her father's movements. A swing from his back, a kick from his right flank, a knife from his left. Every single time, he easily deflected, but he never made a counter-attack. It was like he was toying with them. He was toying with them. He was teaching Ayano from a distance. He could've dispatched all of the bandits with a single technique, but he wanted his daughter to learn something.

And she was.

Out of seemingly nowhere, a kunai was flicked off of a fingertip and flung straight to Ayano's left eye. It was like time had slowed down. The flick of the blade had triggered some sort of subconscious mechanism within Ayano's brain. It zipped through the air. She wasn't really controlling her actions, but at the same time, she knew what she was doing. Her head simply ducked back a couple of inches to let the blade go zipping past. Not a second later, a horizontal kick made its way toward her other side. The bandit was faced, but she was very obviously faster as she threw her entire body backward to escape it, landing on her backside as she skidded on the dirt. She was impressed with herself for dodging attacks without ever meaning to.

With her father dispatching the thugs handily now, Ayano figured she would take this guy herself. He drew another kunai and disappeared. Ayano closed her eyes and put her hands into the Tiger seal, an unintentional thinking and waiting process triggered. A swift backhand came her way; she easily missed it. A kick came, and it quickly went. A slice of a blade down her spine, barely missed. She smiled as she dodged and outmaneuvered him every step of the way. Finally, when he tried to stab her in the chest, with her eyes still closed, she caught his hand. She opened her eyes and found his face in front of hers. She broke his wrist and placed the blade firmly in his knee. Like a baby, the thug fell to the ground, screaming.

With that, Ayano and her father went inside to do some shopping.

Suiton – Suirou no Jutsu (Water Prison)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Technique that may be used in order to trap an opponent by creating a prison made of water. The water is used so that the opponent may drown within the water if the opponent does not know how to escape forth.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Suirou no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to imprison an opponent. The ninja forms the necessary hand seals which causes the water to form around the target into a spherical prison which only allows for limited movement. The ninja must keep their body touching the water prison to maintain its existence. If the contact is broken, the water falls away and their target is released. When combined with a bushin technique, the ninja can imprison their target but still allow for a clone to attack others nearby.
Limit: Water Release

[0/30]

Later that night, after dinner and a cigarette, Ayano figured she'd get back onto training. Something different this time. Ayano never liked the idea of specializing in one particular technique; she would rather have a broad arsenal that could fit many different types of situations. This specific technique would be a good jutsu to incapacitate a target. Ayano had seen her mother use it once in a training session with a fellow ninja: after doing the appropriate handseals, the user puts his or her arm out and a sphere of water forms around the arm to trap an opponent within it, slowly causing them to drown. While it doesn't render every shinobi unable to escape, it is quite the hindrance when one needs to capture somebody.

Ayano figured the first step is just to form the sphere of water. She had only learned D-Ranks lately, so she knew that this would be a longer process. She stood up, slouched as usual, and put her hands into the basic Tiger handseal. She took a few deep breaths, just trying to imagine what the sphere of water would look like. The shape itself was easy. What does the planet look like? What does a globe look like? A perfect, rounded sphere of water. The color, while simple in nature, holds a bit more of a problem. Is it crystal clear blue? Is it dirtier with some green in it? Is it a more clear, opaque color? Ayano imagined a perfectly blue wave and turned that into a sphere in her imagination. Are there any waves or currents that go through it? Nope. Calm, still water.

The young shinobi, her eyes still closed, began to do the appropriate handseals for the technique. She felt her chakra flowing through her. She went through the set multiple times, just stimulating her chakra before she actually tried to execute the technique. She felt her chakra course through her body, flaring up more and more as she exerted more and more energy. She allowed her chakra to leave her body, forming that perfect spherical shape: there was just no water yet. She formed the perfect shape in her mind, with the perfect blue water, with the perfect stillness that anyone had ever imagined before.

Standing a few miles behind her house by a natural cavernous formation, there was plenty of water from which to draw this technique. Continuing to go through the handseal, she finished the set one more time, and opened her eyes. Her right arm shot out over the stillness of the water in the cave. Breaking a slight sweat, Ayano stood there motionless. C'mon. After a few more seconds had uncomfortably passed, the water lifted itself and started to form around her arm. A circle, spinning faster and faster as the water was drawn up to it. Soon, a slightly lopsided circle of water formed. The color was just the color of the cavern, and it was too dark to really tell anyway, but it was still, and it was big enough to at least trap a teenager within it. Ayano dropped her arm.

Good enough for now.

[Ayano Kikkawa;;]

[?/30]

Deciding that it was now time to try to trap things within her prison, Ayano gathered an assortment of inanimate objects all varying in size. She had a tennis ball of sorts, a kunai, an old long sword, and a shield that was both wider and taller than she. She figured if she could trap that shield inside the water prison, she would be able to trap a person of any size. She would start with that just in case she could trap it in the first go and not have to worry about this technique anymore. She put her hands together, immediately going into the set of seals necessary for the technique. She had stuck the shield straight into the ground next to the water. She finished the seals, the water rose up around her arm, and tried to trap the shield.

That thing is too heavy.

The water basically splashed itself against the shield and fell to the ground. Ayano's body felt the force that it took to attempt that and gave up immediately. She was definitely not strong enough yet. So, instead, she reached for the ball and threw it as high as she could into the air. While it was in the air, she formed the set of handseals underneath it. The ball's shadow was blocked by this conglomeration of water. The water spun quickly around her arm, stilling within seconds. Gravity worked the ball back down. It fell straight through the top of the prison and got stuck directly in the center. With her free hand, Ayano reached over for the kunai and threw that straight into the air. She moved the prison underneath that, and the same thing happened, trapping both objects inside.

A bit tired from that, Ayano released the technique and sat down to rest for a little while, staring at her next obstacle: the long sword. After smoking a cigarette, Ayano stood up, grabbed the sword, and forced the blade straight into the ground in the shallows of the cavernous waters. She then closed her eyes. This water was already imbued with her chakra, but she knew that, because of the size and weight of the sword, it would be more difficult to trap than the previous two objects. Her hands automatically went through the progression of handseals again. Upon culmination, the water rose up just as it had before. Because of the sword's size distribution, the prison was less of a sphere and more of a hotdog this time. The sword vibrated a bit, almost uprooting, but the water stabilized and trapped the sword within it. Easier than she thought.

Now just for that damn shield. Lifting the sword and tossing it to the side, Ayano then planted the shield into the ground in the sword's place. This time, Ayano tried something different. She kicked water up into the air twice with the tip of her foot, then did the handseals in the fastest series she had ever done them before. The water that she had kicked, still falling from the air, immediately formed the roof of this giant water prison. The walls shot themselves up in the air, just outside the left and right edges of the shield, and the water on the bottom of the cavern itself formed the floor. Although it took a while for her to stabilize, Ayano formed the perfect prison to keep the shield floating in the center.

Then, she fainted.

[Ayano Kikkawa;;]

[?/30]

“Get up.”

Ayano's dad hadn't seen her in a while, so he went to the cavern to check on her. He nudged her with his foot. Trapping the shield had taken a lot out of her, so Ayano decided that she just needed a little nap. “Use the technique on me. Don't faint this time.” Slightly confused, Ayano stood up. How had he even known what technique she was practicing? Sure, there was water here, but there are hundreds of water jutsus, and he knew what she was trying to do? Silently obedient, Ayano nodded and began to go through the handseals. With a swift flick of his hand, Ayano's father revealed a hidden stick and smacked her hands. “C'mon.” She grunted at him and tried to perform the handseals, but again, he smacked her hand. Again, she grunted. He was trying to actually teach her something, but it was just pissing her off.

Disoriented, Ayano closed her eyes to picture the prison again. She knew her father was only trying to stop her in combat; he wasn't actually trying to fight her. The sphere was going to be composed differently this time; Ayano thought of dirty green and gray water. Nobody would be able to see through it. There would be one current that kept going through the middle of it, forcing more water into the person's mouth. It would be larger than the ones she had previously made – it would be the approximate size that she had made for the shield just before she had fainted. Ayano put her hands into the basic Tiger seal, gathering both her physical strength as well as her chakra to perform the technique to its fullest extent.

When she put her hands together, though, her father misconstrued it as an act of aggression and smacked her hands with the stick again. Pissed off, Ayano angrily swiped her foot across some dirt near where the ground met the water. The dirt soared through the open air and hit her father directly in the eyes. Confused, he dropped the stick and his hands automatically covered his eyes. Ayano quickly went through the set of handseals with the idea for the new prison in mind. She then grabbed her father with both hands and, surprising even herself, dragged him closer to the water. The water met them halfway and began to form the prison around her father. Surely he wasn't expecting this.

The water rose up and coated his body first. Ayano half-expected that he was just letting it happen to raise her confidence, but either way, she was happy. The water formed around his body in this sick greenish color. It looked so dirty, she could barely even see him. It was more of a hotdog than a sphere this time as well, but it was just as big as when it had covered the shield. The dirt washed out of his face, Ayano's father smirked as he slowly began to drown. The one current strode through the water. Figuring this was good enough, Ayano dropped her arm as her soaked father fell to the ground.

“Good job.”

She dove head-first into her favorite cavern, splashing straight down to the bottom of the ten-foot deep water. It only taken thirty or forty seconds before she came back to the top, gasping for breath. She coughed a little bit and cleared her eyes of water. Yeah, smoking cigarettes was certainly never a good idea when it came to trying to hold one’s breath underwater. Again, Ayano was just trying to get the basics of various releases and fighting styles before moving into the harder techniques. She sank into the water again, breathing out of her nose for a couple of seconds so that water wouldn’t shoot up it; she hated getting water in her nose. Maybe another thirty or forty seconds passed before she inevitably returned to the surface for air. How the hell do other ninjas hold their breath for twenty minutes?

She lit up a cigarette while she pondered.

She flicked the cigarette against the cave wall and fell beneath the waters again. There must’ve been something she was missing. She opened her eyes underneath the water, looking around the abnormally clear cavern. Maybe a minute passed this time (a new record!) before Ayano unavoidably returned to the surface for air again. She put her hands together into the basic Tiger seal and sank to the bottom, sitting Indian-style as she began to disturb the chakra reserve she kept within the core of her being. She thought about it for a moment; what if she could gather chakra in her lungs and create a bubble to keep oxygen within it? Before she could think about it more, she went back to the top. Before returning underneath to try it again, Ayano put her hands back into the Tiger seal and created a bubble of chakra surrounding her lungs. This way, no oxygen could escape.

Diving back down into the waters, Ayano very quickly ran out of breath this time. The bubble that she had created kept oxygen within her lungs completely, which meant that no oxygen could be funneled anywhere else; it was essentially trapped. Without being able to breathe in and out of her mouth, the oxygen was pretty much useless. With this newly-acquired knowledge, though, Ayano knew exactly what she could do to stay underwater. She knew how the jutsu functioned now. Instead of creating a bubble around her lungs, she had to channel chakra into her lungs, her mouth – everything that was needed to operate underwater correctly.

Smiling because she figured out what to do, Ayano sank back to the bottom once more. She sat at the bottom Indian-style for the second time, creating a bubble around her lungs that extended up her throat and into her mouth, ears, and eyes. She created a ventilation system that trapped and constantly reused the same supply of oxygen so that she didn’t have to return to the top of the water for more. She opened her eyes and smiled to herself once more at the bottom of the cavern. She had figured out that her ears and eyes also needed to be protected by chakra so that the pressure didn’t affect her. Simple enough, time to move on to something new.

Back outside the back of her house, Ayano wiped a bit of fresh blood from her lip. Because her father was so much higher in skill than her, her Brawler senses couldn’t detect him and protect her from ambushes and surprise attacks. She looked down across the ground uneasily, knowing that he could literally be anywhere. From seemingly nowhere, a hand grabbed Ayano’s ankle. She quickly swung her other foot around in a blind kick, but by the time her leg was in the middle of its rotation, her father had pulled as hard as he could, forcing Ayano into the ground with only her head sticking up out of it. Her father burst from beneath the ground and looked at her. “Gotya.” Ayano just huffed impatiently as he helped her up. “Double Suicide Decapitation Technique. I think I’ve shown you enough. Come get me when you want to learn something new.” And, with that, he went back into their home.

Finally, a technique that didn’t require handseals. Ayano stood up straight, planting her foot shoulder-length apart as she put her hands into the basic Tiger handseal. Her father had simply sunk into the ground when he had performed the technique, but Ayano knew that she wouldn’t be able to do it was easily as he had. Still, a technique that doesn’t require handseals is kind of tricky since Ayano typically used that process to channel her chakra. She closed her eyes and began to channel her chakra without doing the seals. She funneled all of her energy into her feet. She knew that that would be what was going into the ground first, so she figured that only made sense. After she had successfully gathered her chakra, she slammed her hand on the ground and waited to sink beneath the world.

Nothing happened.

Well, shit.

Well, Ayano’s hands were slamming into the ground before she was going underground, so maybe she needed chakra to be infused in those as well. She took a few silent moments to channel her chakra into both her feet and hands now instead of just into her feet. Concentrating, she then opened her eyes and slammed both hands into the ground. This time, almost immediately, her feet and hands started sinking into the ground. ‘Yes!’ She thought, but as soon as her hands and feet sank into the earth, she stopped. She blinked a few times, not really believing it. She then realized exactly what she had to do and why she hadn’t already effectively completed training this technique.

Instead of only putting her chakra into her hands and feet, Ayano realized that she needed to coat her entire body in the stuff. Her entire body was going into the ground, not just one or two body parts, so she needed to make sure that her entire body could go beneath the world. She quickly made sure that her entire body was resonating with her chakra. Ayano then slammed her hands into the ground, hopefully for the last time. She quickly slid into the ground, hanging out for a second beneath the ground. She smirked to herself, pleased that she had gotten another technique. After a few minutes, like a radar, Ayano could tell that there was somebody directly above her standing. Figuring it was her father, Ayano reached up and burst from beneath the ground.

A squirrel ran away.

Ayano went inside to get her father so that she could learn a new technique. Before he was willing to teach her something new, though, he demanded that she show him the technique that he had just performed for her to learn. "It hasn't been that long since I showed you the Double Suicide Decapitation technique, so I just want to make sure you know how to do it." Ayano sighed and nodded obediently, not one to disrespect her parents. She put her hands together into the basic Tiger seal and began to tune in with her chakra.

Her father, however, tried to punch her right away. She easily dodged it because he made it easy to dodge. She then got low and swept her right foot across his. As he started to fall, she quickly slammed her hands onto the ground, her chakra covering her entire body so that she could easily slide into the ground. She did just that. While her father just put his hand down and twisted his palm so that his entire body wouldn't hit the ground, Ayano slipped into the earth itself. She smirked, although she was confident that he knew where she had disappeared.

Before he could prepare anything, like uplift the ground or flood it, Ayano returned to the surface just as quickly as she had submerged. She came up with a fresh kick to her fathers face. He pushed her over while she was still in the air so that she fell on the ground. "Nice try. I am proud that you managed to learn it so quickly, though. Show me one more time" Once more, silent but obedient, Ayano channeled her chakra before slamming her hands back down onto the ground. She slipped into the earth, detecting his presence once she was fully submerged. From above the ground, she could hear him say. "Alright, let's go eat now."
