Character Depth

Personality->
Madam Nazu is a very solemn, very serious woman. Born in a era of war and poverty, she finds it very difficult to go easy on people, which is possibly why so few people become masters under her tutelage.

She enjoys runnign the bath house, as it gives her a sense of authority while the steam and scented waters calm her and help her forget about her earlier life as a shinobi.


Appearance->



Background->

Nazu was born the second daughter of a hunter in the Land of Snow.
From an early age she wanted a life of adventure in order for her to escape the poverty ridden life that she was born into.

At eleven years of age she ran away from home to join the Village Hidden in the Snow, she was a clever student who devoted herself entirely to the arts of ninjutsu, within a year she had earned her headband, at fourteen she passed the Chuunin Exams at the very top of the rankings, becoming the leader of the Anbu Owl division by her sixteenth birthday.

War unfortunetly began early in her career as the ninjas of the mist village invaded her homeland, as an owl she excelled in gathering intelligence, but her work was quickly outshined by her use of Ice jutsu Ninjutsu, the war ended by her twenties with the snow lands becoming victorious and Nazu married another ninja, where they had a single child.

Tragedy is in the heart of every ninja's story however, yes then a eyar after her childs birth, her husband, Han, was sent on a dangerous mission to the Land of Wind, he never returned. Shortly after that a plague came to the village, taking away her only son.

Only Nazu would be able to tell what became of her after that, she went missing at twenty seven years old and was classfied a missing shinobi, she resurfaced two decades later in the land of rain, eager to utilize her abilites, the Amekage agreed to protect her from the Yuki ninja hunters and in return she would attempt to teach her art to any worthy shinobi.

To this day stories of her exploits are recited in the Land of this Snow, and to this day many students wait in line to be trained by her... to perhaps be broken in the process.

Suichuu (Underwater)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user stay underwater for some time.
Difficulty Class
D Rank Difficulty Class - 20 minutes
C Rank Difficulty Class - 40 minutes
B Rank Difficulty Class - 80 minutes
A Rank Difficulty Class - 120 minutes
S Rank Difficulty Class - 180 minutes

Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: After returning to surface the user must rest half of the time used underwater. As example, if the user has stayed under for 20 minutes, he’ll have to rest 10 minutes before the jutsu can be used again.
Description: Simple technique used by channeling chakra to mouth, lungs, ears and eyes. With chakra moved to mouth and lungs the user gathers air from the water and is able breath underwater, chakra guided to ears protects from the aching caused by pressure, lenses of chakra protecting eyes work like swim goggles.
Limit: Anyone can learn it, the techinque doesn’t even need a scroll, smart ninjas should be able to figure out the process on their own.

"If you wish to learn what you wish from me, your first task will be learning how to actually work in water" Mama Nazu’s voice, though soft, could be clearly heard over the thunderous bubbling of the nearby hot springs. I looked up at her with a confident smile, at the same time pulling myself up from the cross legged position I had put myself in near the water’s edge.

"I’m able to swim all right." I supplied, only to be replied to with a soft laugh.

I’m sure that’ll come in handy Mama Nazu smiled, turning around and making a small gesture for me to follow her. We passed some of the newer spring pools, my sandals squeaking annoyingly on the wet tiles as we climbed down a small wooden ladder towards one of the older springs. Wrinkling my nose in disgust I looked over at Mama Nazu for her opinion. The pool in front of us was stagnant with slime and general mud, Mama Nazu’s springs the water was always either very hot and very cold and the lack of steam over this muddy pool was enough for me to know what category this one was in.

At my glance Mama Nazu didn’t say anything, merely waving her hand toward the murky waters, daring me to take a closer look. Giving her a suspicious glance I walked close to the edge, bending downwards and letting my blond hair fall at both sides of my face, framing it. My grey eyes cutting at the details I couldn’t say for sure how deep it us, the very first layer of the pool given a coating of grime that seemed to convince the sun itself not to shine any of its light in that direction.

Next thing I knew I felt a hard cane brush against my back side, tipping me off balance on the wet tiles; I made an unmanly yelp as I tumbled into the dark water, the sudden weight of the mud upon me. I was right anyway, it was fucking freezing!

My already open mouth managed to catch a mouthful of the stinking water teaching me once and for all that water did in fact have a taste... dirty water anyway.I spend seconds of the bottom as I swung my arms around in an attempt to bring myself to the top.

Eventually I got there, my head breaking the surface and my filth encrusted mouth taking in gulps of fresh cold air.
Bringing my hands to the surface to wipe away the coat of grim that covered my eyelids I glared at Mama Nazu, half expecting to hear her laugh at me in an effort to make me angrier, but she did not such thing, merely drawing a round handled kunai and casually throwing it into the water, the shiny metal immediately vanishing under the brownish liquid.

”We had some visitors from the land of earth not too long ago” She clarified.

“They were the ones who clogged up the drains, your first task under my tutelage is for you to find the three main drains and unblock them, without rising to the surface again until you’re done. If I see your head break the surface again, I will effectively banish you from my Bathhouse”

I bit my filthy lip for a moment, regretting it almost immediately, the filthy taste returning to my tongue. I had a task to do, and I was already trying my best to work out a way for me to complete it. Without another word I closed my eyes, took a deep breath of cold air, and dived.

The cold captured me again, that brief moment of inactivity almost making me get used to the feeling, almost. I propelled myself in the direction of the kunai that she threw me, my hands moving sluggishly through the clogged water while my legs beated relentlessly against the pool, pushing me slowly forward. I resisted the urge to open my eyes, I didn’t want to think about how many different insects and types of bacteria existed in the pool and I would like them to have as little contact with my eyes as possible.

Soon my hands closed against the cold steel, my body balling up in the water as I held the kunai close to my lips, my legs no long moving as I brought my hands closer to me, in the way a pastor might bring his hands to his face in prayer.

My first challenge would be to find out a way to survive in the water long enough for me to clean the pool, it was obvious that she wanted me to figure it out on my own, so it couldn’t be that difficult, my thoughts racked back to my time with other Suiton based shinobi, who bragged about mastering easy techniques, could she want me to learn how to breath underwater?

“Kid, water breathing is easy enough, the fact that some people actually waste money on equipment for the job is practically criminal! Take it from me kid, you would be able to figure out the process on your own.
So it was settled, I would try to learn how to breathe underwater, but how I would that still escaped me.

The air was beginning to burn in my lungs and on the impulse I closed my lips over the edge of the kunai, my teeth still awkwardly clamped shut, in an attempt to hold onto as much of that honey sweet air as possible. I formed a seal with my trembling fingers, the cold starting to make its way to my fingers, forcing them to shiver violently while at the same time making them feel numb to me- crazy.

~Tiger

I would need to use my chakra as more than a breathing device, it would also have to serve to protect my delicate eyes, form a layer over my ears in order to drown out the horrendous beating that rattled me this deep underwater.

I allowed the chakra to get to work, a flash of blue went over my eyes, and blinking softly I raised my hands to see them, I still couldn’t, the water was too dirty, figures. But I could feel no irritant as I blinked, so I must have done something right. Dropping the kunai into my now open hands, I let out a bubble of air, the old water now filling my mouth through the opening I had made.

Feeling the chakra in my system burn at its release I felt the water break away in my mouth, I breathed in and gulped, realising that air had a distinct taste as well.

I let out a small quaky bubble from my mouth and slashed at it with my kunai as the noise of the pool vanished from the chakra covered eardrums. I pushed myself down to the water and using the point of the kunai, began to pull myself along the bottom of the sauna, allowing myself to take frequent, chakra filled breaths.

Limit: Water Release

"You could scare the children away" Mam Nazu cackled as I pulled myself, soggy and filthy out of the large pool. Meeting her laugh with a glare I rubbed what little dirt had gathered around my eyelids.
”What do I have to do now?” I asked, suppressing a shiver as I looked around, was the room this cold before I fell in?
Mam Nazu simply pointed to a large drain near the pool, although separated from it by a small ramp, I walked over without complaining, eager to just get these filthy clothes off me and in response Mama Nazu simply placed an empty iron bucket beside me, clicking her fingers for a moment before water began to sprinkle into the bucket from her bare hands.
I stared at the spectacle in amazement, my thoughts of getting a wash long abandoned.

"Will I be learning that?"
Mama Nazu stared at me and snorted, instead of responding to it she just made a simple handseal and nodded towards the steaming bucket. The water began to rise slowly from the iron container and rose slowly over the both of us, a whisper from her making the water overhead break apart, creating a small stream of warm raindrops that ended in moments, it was a weird feeling, but one that I felt kind of pleasant. Like a natural shower.

”Learn that” Mama Nazu said, turning around and making her way to the ladder, her cane held in one hand as she climbed up out of sight.
I looked at the bucket and sighed, staring at the small rain drops that splattered at my feet only a few moments ago, there was obviously chakra involved with manipulating the water like that, but in what way I couldn’t say for sure. I formed the same handsign that she made, curling my fingers around eachother and ignoring the strain the stretch made on my hands.

~Rat

Water exploded from the bucket, coating me in boiling hot water, I gasped in shock and slipped on the tiles, my head hitting the floor with a thud. Blinking away any tears that definetly didn’t show up because of my raging masculinity, I stared at my throbbing red hands, now more than a little burned and then looked again at the bucket of water, now only about half full. The steam still rose up from it, almost tauntingly, daring me to try and work with it again.
The problem, as far as I could see, was that I had thrown far too much chakra at the water, the chakra was still in a way connected to my hands as I sent it to the water like an impulse, the water flew at me as well, and since there was more chakra along the water’s edge then I wanted, I quite simply was not able to control the hot water, resulting in...yeah.

Rubbing my hands softly together and at the same time hoping to myself that I would be able to still use the after the day was done, I slowly pulled myself up to my feet and walked towards the water again, my reflection staring back at me from the bottom of the bucket. Closing my eyes and trying my best to relax, I formed the rat seal again, letting only a small amount of chakra past my fingertips, little more than droplets, towards the water, once I was sure the energy had settled down, I began to pull the chakra above my head, bringing with it a less than a cupful of warm water.
I broke the handseal with a smile, the water above my head breaking with the sound of a whip cracking against stone, as steamy wtare fell down in droplets on my face, a few murky brown stains leaving my clothes and flowing the drain.

With a relieved sigh I formed the rat seal again, this time letting out another small amount of chakra, once again it settled along the top of the water, which now only filled about a third of the bucket, my eyes open I directed the water over my head once again, now letting more than one small bundle of water to rise up, utilizing my use of the chakra. As the water rose, the amount of chakra I used to hold the water above my head grew thinner and thinner so that small drops of water splattered down so that I would always be in control of the majority of the liquid.~

Once I was sure that it was far enough, I broke the hand seal, the water splashing down against my now outstretched arms, my blonde hair now starting to shine again and the murky brown tattoos on my face fading away into little pulps of dirt and mud. My eyes followed the dirt as it splashed down the drain pipe, as I formed the handseal a third time, to repeat the process.
