Yoko felt that she had studied enough about the seals for the time being, and now it was time to invest her time into the nitty-gritty of the crafting art. Enhancing her actual skill in this specific area as opposed to merely boosting it in a general fashion. To this end, she employed the use of her books and tomes, but interestingly enough no tutor. She had decided that a while a teacher could undoubtedly offer insight into the crafting procedure if she was to create something truly flawless then she would need to find her own path.

Of course, like anything worth doing this task was harder than it initially seemed. Like the books, the youth had on her person contained little in the way of step by step workings but rather large diagrams of the finished products, a list of the ingredients required—or rather the materials—and the process by which the crafter forged the item. Needless to say, it was somewhat difficult to put the whole process together in one's mind.

The trouble was the finer workings of the procedure. How was she to put together the components to forge them in a certain way? Well clearly—in the youth's mind at least—she would need to simply attempt the task, observe her mistakes and adjust accordingly. Her first consideration was what exactly she would need to forge an item. In the case of a ring, she would clearly need a small portion of silver or gold, a flame powerful enough to soften the material and tools to work it.

But was there anything else that she was missing, did she have to quench the metal? The young Mizukage read on about how exactly the process was carried out. The first interesting piece of information that she discovered as she read through her book was that you did not 'melt' silver during this process rather you induced a stage known as “sintering” as the idea was not to reduce the metal to a liquid but rather a more malleable state that coalesced the solid pieces together.

Another surprising thing to learn was that the amount of heat required to work a ring wasn't all that high, yes a significant source of heat was required but nothing more than what a handheld torch could produce, a specialised furnace wasn't required. What came next was hardly a surprise but you had to mould the metal into a thin strip. This would have no doubt have been a difficult task in days gone by, as the book illustrated.

But in the modern era, a simple tool could be used, running the metal through the machine would funnel it into the size that was preselected, in this case, a very small size. From there one had to consider the means by which the jewellery was going to be mounted into the ring. A thought that up until this very moment the youth had not even considered. She wanted to learn how to work the metal to a state in which she could create a metal band, but had not considered whether anything should adorn that band.

The time had come for Yoko to progress on to a third craft, she was already a skilled jeweller and a budding armour-smith, but she there was still room for expansion. To this end, the youth had elected to return to the training area along with her books so that she could study to fully understand the options open to her. Per her knowledge and understanding of crafting there was little left open to her that she wanted to pursue.

There were a few paths that were still open, Fletcher, construction, instrument maker and so on and so forth. However, the retail on such crafts seemed very limited. While the youth did indeed make good use of locks, for example, she had no desire to outright craft them, instrument making and construction were in a similar vein. This meant that relatively few options were open to her and of those options she had to consider the opportunity cost of her actions, namely that while she learned one thing by virtue of that action she gave up the ability to learn something else at that given moment.

Thus, she had to consider which of the acceptable arts she truly wanted to master. And for the time being the answer was clear enough to her, seamstress/tailor seemed like the right choice. The ability to not only create garments but repair them on the fly was certainly an invaluable skill to have at one's disposal. Outfits could be created to provide cover for future operations for example.

Or alternatively to fashion garments from the very environment around oneself to use bush-craft to make your own gillie-suit when you were out in a forest. The possibilities for such an art really did seem near endless, thus, it was merely a case of finding out where to start. Because the name itself might have suggested that being a tailor was a rather prim and proper job, but from the tailors, Yoko had encountered in her own affairs this had not always been the case.

Thus, the youth thought that she should maybe start with something simple like how to create a shirt. The process itself can't be that difficult right. She pulled out one of her books a beginners guide to how the craft operated and began to read. She spent the next half an hour or so absorbing the information from inside the book taking in the knowledge regarding the difficult cuts that could be made and stitches. It turned out that creating even a simple garment that we all took for granted was not all that simple.

Considerable fore-planning and measurements needed to be taken if she was to construct anything to the standard of what was expected by the hidden ninja forces. Currently, they sourced all of their attire from a professional producer, clearly, she had quite a way to go if her works were to equal what they were producing. So perhaps an undergarment designed to sit under her armour was the first port of call, something that would, for the most part, go unseen and thus have room for error.

Yoko was quickly becoming quite the peerless crafter was she not? Obtaining a mastery of a variety of different crafts: it was to this end that she had come to the rogue training area today, she sought to unlock a greater understanding of another of the crafting arts, namely machining. Yoko had already obtained an understanding of how to work as a seamstress, a jeweller and even an alchemist. But the skill set required to make gadgets was quite different was it not?

Thus, there was little carryover between the skill sets—outside of perhaps the ability to follow recipes and blueprints. As a result, Yoko had to effectively begin her training all over again, in her effort to master the crafting art. She decided to first turn to the books and other assorted manuscripts that she had assembled. Surely she could acquire the fundamentals from studying the basics from these books and then seek to apply it.

From studying the various texts the youth was able to gain a deeper understanding of the art, she needed to be conformable working with electronics, understanding how to power the devices that she was creating. This was a new element that had only really been touched on when she studied to be a jeweller. The main challenge, of course, was not simply getting the piece to work, but rather to keep it functioning in battlefield conditions.

As Yoko read further into the text she began to wonder what exactly she would create, she already had the means by which to craft her attire, and in the future aimed to acquire armour, what exactly could machining offer her? Well, it seemed that gadgets were quite varied in application from covert means of gathering information right down to the very bodysuit that she wore to help manipulate her appearance.

It seemed that there would be quite a few pieces that she would be able to craft with the acquisition of these new found skills, the question however in her mind was which really benefited from being master worked. Yoko already knew that weapons could be deal more damage and armour resist greater impacts. But really what was the benefit of crafting master worked gadgets. She read through the texts seeking to find the answer to this question.

It didn't take long for her research to yield some results, it seemed that there was some merit in crafting higher level gadgets after all. But how did the benefits apply to generic items? A master worked tool could benefit from increased resistance like armour, an increased range increment or a benefit to a skill. A lot of the gadgets Yoko knew of however lacked a range increment, in so much as one would not normally seek to throw them, and they did not augment a skill. Thus, the question became what was the point of master working them?

[Cadoc]

For the time being, she struggled to find any real cause, sure the defensive increase would be nice but did it warrant expending her own time when she could simply repurchase the items at the store? No, there would likely be a different application of the skill that she had not yet considered, namely, using the masterworked quality to enable seals to be applied to the individual items. Again however this did raise the question of why given that she already possessed items that occupied almost all of the slots on her body.

Instead, there were only a few areas that she could place a gadget on her body and expect to derive a notable seal benefit from it. With that being said, however, there were still areas, namely the eyes and body as a whole. Thus, the youth recommitted herself to gaining a greater understanding of the inner workings of the two gadgets she sought to create to occupy those slots: goggles and the full body corset.

It seemed after all like a logical chose to research the items that you intended to create. And to this end, Yoko read through her textbooks to gain an insight into how the pieces worked on paper. Once she had developed enough of an understanding she decided to physically examine her own items to see if she could spot any flaws, anything that could potentially be improved upon when she eventually crafted her own versions of the items.

[Cadoc]

00/10 000/125 +1 Circumstance Bonus per Mastery when learning Agility skills; +1 Autodidact

Yoko set the pieces aside after she felt that she had gathered sufficient information a, of course, She, of course, needed to acquire all of the blueprints for the items that she sought to create, but for the time being the physical inspection of the goggles was enough in her mind to be able to gain a rough understanding of their inner workings even if she would not be able to reconstruct them perfectly.

The corset, however, was a different matter, Yoko already possessed the blueprints required to construct such a piece, and with the new learning in hand she felt as if she could proceed to craft the item itself before long, perhaps even masterwork it if her progress kept up at its current rate of progression. After finishing her studies up she once again reexamined the gadget listing that could be widely purchased from shops.

It seemed that there really was a lack of items that benefited from the augmentation process, for example, she picked out the surveillance spike or surveillance equipment in general. The piece itself had no real range, nor would you want to throw it, the only thing that it benefited from was the augmented armour but even then would it make that much of a difference? Perhaps in the future however she would be able to find a reason to actually craft these devices.

After tinkering away for a few weeks Yoko felt that she was finally starting to get the hang of how the whole process worked. There were still some areas however that were out of her comfort zone, for example, the interstage workings of computers. Machinists, after all, possessed the ability to make these computers, and unfortunately, Yoko possessed only a limited level of understanding for the components and various aspects that were put together to create one.

Yoko, therefore, decided that the next stage of her studies would focus on improving her skills with the electronic components that made up the more complex gadgets: she was after all almost a master of the art so it seemed only natural to cover all bases in order to advance to the next stage. That and one of the items she sought to create could be improved by the user's mastery of the machinist arts.

Thus, Yoko set to work crafting away, she studied various textbooks and scrolls in order to understand exactly how the components fit together. Maybe in the future, she could make a computer of her own? For the time being, however, she elected instead to simply focus her attention on getting the gadgets she knew to work. By the time she had finished the training the sun was already setting perhaps, she would purchase some manga on her way back home!

It had been some time since Yoko last worked on a project related to armour, so she felt that a short refresher course was in order. As such, she came to the the best place in the village to learn this type of thing and began to start her training. And really it was just as well that she had decided to turn towards a brush up course: the youth's masterying of the other crafting arts had far outstripped her skill in creating armour.

Hmm, perhaps instead of creating a full set of armour she should instead create something simple, a singular piece. The helmet seemed like the logical choice, a helmet was relatively cheap, and could function by itself in terms of enchantments. Thus, Yoko turned her attention towards smithing a fantastic helmet. She started to study all of the different designs and the ways in which they were formed, it seemed that the term helmet was quite broad.

Indeed there seemed to be hundreds of different designs, so narrowing one down was a rather troublesome task. She did however know that she wanted to still be able to wear her mask, thus the helmet would have to incorporate the mask, without leaving any area for attack. After consulting various different designs the youth believed that she had advanced enough to give it a go in the crafting area.

It seemed that her new form while providing many new benefits had actually decreased her powers over the stealth arts. This obviously came as quite the shock to the youth but was something that she could overcome through diligently applying herself to the craft anew. The first logical step was to come to the rogue training area: the tools and training equipment here designed to help train a person in various crafts amongst which was stealth operations. Remaining hidden in different light conditions and behind different objects was an integral part of the skill.
