[/color] Mom asked. And what a good question it was. If I performed this jutsu on a foe who was much smaller or perhaps of the same size as myself, the ball wouldn't need to be this size. However, the size would change if it was for a person who was much taller and larger. So in this case, the sphere was too large for my Mother's clone.

“I will adjust the sizes depending on my opponent. But you do have a point, Mom.” I reply while shrinking the sphere a little to the point when the tips of my Mother's feet are barely touching the bottom of the sphere while her entire body was straightened. But as the clone drew it's legs into it's chest, I decided to keep the sphere's size the same as it is currently and watched as Mom's clone floated down to the bottom of the sphere, around the bubbles that I kept sending down there. Once the clone's bottom touched the bottom of the sphere, the clone extended it's legs and shot up toward the top of the sphere and hit it's head on the roof with a odd thudding sound, but not once did the sphere break.

[/b] I ask once the elder woman released me. Suri nodded and straightened her posture. “Yes she is, thanks for asking, Lady Takikage.”

“Well that's awesome! Tori-chan really should come down and visit soon, I can arrange a lovely picnic in the park if you guys are free! I'd love to show her what you've taught me so far!” I say and brushes the creases out of my outfit. Suri bow slightly and then hardened her gaze. “Of course, I shall let her know when I return. However, the second reason why I had come here is because I wanted to teach you a special jutsu. Now, for this particular jutsu, it gains the user the ability to read the mind of the foe. It would be like exploring back in time and viewing another person's events. Understood?”

I understood completely. A mind reading technique would be incredibly handy for certain events, and my excitement for learning this technique was evident. But the look Suri was giving me made my smile fade slightly. “What's wrong?” I ask, tilting my head to the side slightly. Suri inhaled and began speaking once more. “The drawbacks of the technique is, is that during the entire time of this jutsu, you need to have you hand upon the person's head. And concentration is the key. No-one an disturb you at all.” Understandable. That would also mean that I will need to be protected and hidden for this type of technique to work successfully. “Noted.”

Suri had called my Mother over to her at this point and had asked her briefly if she would willingly offer her compliance to having her memories searched. Mom seemed a little hesitant on answering but eventually nodded. I am then called toward Mom then and after Mom was put into a seating position and I stood above her, Suri handed me the scroll before standing behind my Mother. “Read the scroll carefully and remember, concentration is the key.” I unwrapped the scroll and pulls the parchment open to gaze upon the printed markings. The jutsu overall seemed relatively understandable and easy to follow, but when I noticed the rank of it, I gulped.

[/color] Suri said firmly and watched as my index, middle, and ring fingers gently touched the center of my Mother's forehead. Mom relaxed and closed her eyes while I did the same. “Now, not every person you use this jutsu on will cooperate willingly, so your Mother is making this easier for you. So do keep that in mind as well.”

At the sound of that, I had not wanted my Mother to relax through the entire training. I wanted it to be as difficult as possible. The fact that whomever I use this on will no doubt resist me, so I open my eyes and stare down at my Mother. “Mom, don't go easy on me. I need to be prepared for resistance.” I say softly and closes my eyes again. I felt Mom tense but she said nothing. “Alright then, concentrate on your chakra and attempt to enter your Mom's mind with yours.” My chakra swelled up from deep within my stomach before it was briefly sent to my finger tips.

Since I have experience of being within the mind of another, pushing my own soul out of my body and into another was not a difficult task. I could feel myself withdrawing from my body and slowly seeping into the air around my Mother's body and my own. The only difference was the fact that only a portion of my mind had been expelled from my body and not all of it. The powerful aura of my Mother's soul pulsated before my own and glowed a powerful blue color whereas mine was a green. I caught a glimpse of Suri's yellow – green colored aura but my attention was completely upon the blue aura before me.

As my aura neared my Mother's it suddenly changed to a lemon yellow color indicating that Mom was struggling to maintain control over my intrusion. I relaxed myself and concentrated on flooding my Mother with love and kindness until the yellow color began to weaken. My chakra swirled around my aura, coating it in an extremely thin layer which was used to tear through my Mother's defenses, but the moment the chakra touched Mom's aura, I felt that she was also using her own chakra to protect herself from me. I could not help but to smile at that but that still didn't mean I was beaten yet.

I was so close to her now and a glimpse of a memory had passed through the barrier between Mom's mind and my own. The barrier was very strong and the chakra usage my Mother used was so little. But the bright lemon – yellow colored aura that I was trying to penetrate continued to shine powerfully, I knew that Mom wasn't going to allow the defenses to break, and no matter how much love and warmth I pushed toward her, she was not buying it. My chakra usage was more larger than hers was, and it was frustrating. It was clear that Mom had done this before.

[/b] I mutter while rubbing my forehead. The chakra loss that I felt was exhausting and I found that I could not keep myself upright without the aide of someone. Suri knelled down beside me and supported my weight as I slumped into her. “You did very well. Did you manage to see any of your Mother's memories?” The soft caressing of Suri's hand was heaven against my pounding head, but I managed a small nod. “Yes, but when I tried to push in deeper, I felt a strong tug.”

“You did very well, Rosie. You should have a drink before we continue.” Mom suddenly says, tired from our previous encounter. I nodded and Suri left the Dojo to get the two bottles of water. “Mom, can you give me a tip on how to break barriers please?” I then ask once we were alone. Mom studied me for a few minutes before sighing. “Emptying your mind is the key to strengthening your aura. Did you notice your aura brightening in color? That was how you managed to gain access into my mind. But you lost concentration, that was how I was able to push you out.”

Suri clasped her hands together and nodded for me to resume my training. The exact same three fingers were placed upon my Mother's forehead for a second time while my chakra was pushed into them. And the moment my eyes closed, a small portion of my mind was expelled from my body and suspended into the air around me. This time my Mother's aura was the same blue color before be began the assault. Mine still remained the green color, but it was much brighter this time since I had emptied my mind.

My total concentration was on the blue aura that surrounded my Mother's body. It too, was powerfully lit, indicating that Mom had emptied her thoughts to help prevent me from accessing her mind. The concentration on my Mom's mind left me in a dead – lock connection to her and therefore my aura had been able to scrape the surface of my Mother's. The chakra supporting my aura was less this time, the penetration of the barrier was great and more sufficient this time as well, but I still cannot access her memories. But after giving a little push forward, the thick barrier separating my Mother's mind from my own tore slightly and the most recent memory of Mom talking to me about the technique at hand flooded into me.

I continued to push into her mind, expanding my search of her memories until I finally reached the ones of Suri and Mom's conversation. By then the tugging feeling had returned, warning me that I was getting pulled out because my mind was not empty. So I forced the thoughts out of my mind and pushed myself deeper into my Mother's mind, penetrating her aura's defenses to the point when I had began seeing memories of what happened last week. And what surprised me was the fact that she was watching me create the dragon out of water. My mind sharpened then and the color of my aura deepened. The tugging feeling grew stronger at this point too, but I had to dig deeper. I wanted to know what else my Mother has seen me doing.

Digging a little deeper, I found out that my Mother had been standing in the alleyway by the makeshift hospital, the day I met Nori and had watched our departure. The heat flaring in my cheeks made Suri scoff but otherwise she said nothing. I just couldn't believe she witnessed us kissing. But I had not reached my goal yet and with my mind still empty, the tugging feeling remained at a minimum. The voices that rung in my head and the whirling colors were causing a headache, plus the chakra that I used to help keep this jutsu active was also causing me to feel slightly nauseous.

[/color] The Yamanaka boasted happily. Half an hour? Was it really that long?!

Mom looked just as exhausted as I did, but her face had a tinge of red in it. I smile tiredly at her and leans forward slightly. “You looked a lot like me when you were younger. But I'm glad Dad didn't keep that blonde hair.” I say with a slight chuckle; Dad's hair really was awful. My mother giggled at the remark and shook her head. Suri handed me my bottle of water which apparently had been refilled and I drained it a second time, devouring the entire contents between two small pauses.

The chakra drainage this technique had upon me was unreal. I have never felt such a loss of energy in my life and quite frankly, all I wanted to do was curl up on the floor and sleep. My copper eyes glance in Suri's direction and she nodded. “Let's have lunch and a small sleep before we continue. You are almost half way!” The blonde woman says before leaving the Dojo to fetch the lunch she had made using the equipment and food that we had in the house. Helping herself to our stuff didn't bother my family in the slightest, Suri and her sister Tori were like family to the Salt Clan anyway.

When Suri returned with a tray of sandwiches, two more clones walked in with another two trays with held a jug filled with juice and another with a bowl of salads. It appeared as if we were going to eat within my Mother's Dojo. “My Lady, do you have trouble keeping a hold on the memories of the subject?” Suri then asks me once I pick up a sandwich and bite into it. I remembered having trouble grasping on to a few of my Mother's memories and couldn't successfully see them due to the pulling, Mom seemed to be protective of certain memories to the point when she whisked them away from me while I rummaged through her mind. I glance up at the Yamanaka and nods without speaking.

[/color] Suri explained and took a mouthful of juice. I nod.

So if I located another of Mom's personal memories that she wanted to keep hidden from me, I am to hold on to it until my Mother exhausts herself with withholding it from me? But since Mom did overhear what Suri said, she would be more aware of it and would attempt to keep whatever memory it was hidden away. I am anxious to see it, simply because it was a memory of roughly a year before I was born, but at the same time I respected my Mother's privacy. I purposely avoided my Mom's gaze while my thoughts kept to themselves, but I also noticed that while I attempted to oversee that certain memory, Mom's aura changed to that of an angered one.

Could it be that Mom doesn't want me looking too deeply into her past? What secrets does she have that she'd prefer to keep hidden away from me? Does Dad know about these said secrets? So many questions.. Questions that will be answered when I latch on to the memory if I catch it again. I finish another two sandwiches and four glasses of juice before I excused myself for a small nap. I will need it before continuing on with this type of training.

When I woke two hours later, I found myself feeling much better and that eighty seven percent of my strength and energy had returned. This will better aide me in penetrating her barrier as well. I return to the Dojo to find Mom discussing something with Suri, and judging from the tone my Mother used; she was not too happy. Before I got close enough to overhear the conversation, my Mother had abruptly broken the conversation and regarded me with a soft, loving smile. “Welcome back, darling. Are you ready to continue?”

I smile and bow to both women before nodding. “As ready as I'll ever be!” I say, kneeling down with my Mother in unison. Suri floated around the pair of us on light feet and touched our shoulders. “Alright ladies, when you're ready!” She then said before falling completely silent. Will I be able to successfully learn this today or will I need more excessive training before this is completely learned? Well there was only one way to find out...

[/color] Suri's soft voice ringed in my ears as she begin pacing the room before me. “Direct the oval handseal at an empty space and push yourself out as if you were going to enter your opponent's mind.”

I nod twice, each nod hard and raises my hands and forms the oval handseal. The scroll had said that my soul can only travel around a ten meter radius, but can move around in any direction I choose. I will also be invisible so this would be great for spying purposes except for the fact that I will be deaf and mute to the world. So as I began focusing my chakra into the air around me, my gaze stared right through the oval that my hands currently held before pushing myself forward while focusing upon that single point. The sudden, familiar pulling sensation then washed over me before I felt myself being pulled out of my own body.

The feeling of being without a shell had always left me afraid. My glowing aura pulsated around me as I raised my hand to see if the jutsu was in affect. My weightless body floated around to face where my body should have been and found that I was laying unconscious in my Mother's arms. My head turned toward my left to find Suri's body also in a comatose state, laying on the floor in a heap.[/i] Had Suri performed the same technique?

Despite I could not hear her talk, my Mother had taught me how to lip read since one of her sisters, my Aunts are currently deaf and relies on lip-reading as a source of communication. Suri was saying that I was doing fine and that I should try moving around instead of spinning around on the spot. This, I had found somewhat difficult because I have not been out in the open like this before. I felt trapped, yet free at the same time. I nod briefly and glances down at my feet before attempting to take a step forward.

[/i] How amusing. I then moved back down to the ground and found that my feet had actually sunken into the ground slightly as my feet were in the ground, ankle deep.

My head shot up to see Suri laughing and shaking her head. I raise slightly, a little jerk – like raise until I became familiar with how to successfully raise to the right surface of the earth. But before I tried anything else, I glance toward my Mother and found her glancing around the room. She had been searching for us, but looked lost and confused. Are we really invisible?

I suddenly turn to face Suri as she dived back into her own body and when she began stirring, my Mother carried my body toward her and began talking. I paid particular attention to her lips and noticed that she was talking about me, wondering if I was alright and had the jutsu been successful. Suri nodded and pointed toward me, saying that that was the last area I was in. I awkwardly approached the two woman and dived into my own body, grateful for the familiar feeling to return to me. “Well that was interesting. Do you think I should try it again?

[/color] Suri says with a soft smile. I am now handed another scroll from the Yamanaka Clan and once I unroll it, my eyes observe that it was indeed a combo to the jutsu that I had just learned.

This particular jutsu was a technique that will enable me to hear while in the mind spy state. I had remembered during the technique that I was unable to hear or say anything. So this technique would be completely useful should I ever decide to take a peak around the area during a mission. Once I handed the scroll to my Mother, my mind began visualizing the handseals needed for the technique. I then turned to face Suri and nodded while we both performed the Mind Spy Technique a second time.

Once we were both dispelled from our bodies, both Suri and I glance toward my Mother who cradled our lifeless bodies in her arms. Suri had such a peaceful look upon her face that it honestly looked as if she were sleeping deeply. But when I turned around to face my sensei, Suri began to speak. Now, since I was unable to hear her, I was forced to lip-read her again. “Now, you will need two handseals in order to activate the sense of sound while within this state. Did you memorize them?”

When I nodded, Suri smiled and began speaking again. “Focus on your ears when casting the jutsu and concentrate on the task at hand.” Suri said, performing the Dragon and Rat handseal to show me what to do. I hesitate at first, wondering if I was able to mold chakra while in this state. But since I wasn't able to speak, I decided that now was the time to try.

Both my hands would raise toward my chest now before my ring, middle and index fingers would lace together in a awkward embrace. My two thumbs would not only face upward, but cross over slightly while both my pinky fingers pointed toward the ground, touching like a pyramid – like cone. The Dragon handseal was an extremely uncomfortable handseal to perform, but it is mostly used for Raiton jutsu to my best belief. My mother used it frequently since she knew Raiton biased techniques. Once my hands parted from the Dragon seal, Rat would be the next one on the list.

[/color] Suri explains, which was quite unneeded for me since I was currently doing that already. The chakra swelled within my ears, encasing all the needed areas that produced sound. I rely on my sense of sound quite often so I was uncomfortable without it, but when small, faint sounds began to enter my ears, I wondered if this was the success of my jutsu, or just my imagination. Suri's voice was also faint while I watched her mouth move, so could it be that I was doing everything correctly?

“Judging from your reaction, I take it that you can hear me now.” Suri says with a pleased smile. Her approving of my progress is very helpful to me, as it always gives me a boost of confidence. But when she goes quiet it usually tells me that I am doing something wrong. I, however, shake my head in response to her words as I could only pick up on a few words. “I can't hear you just yet, sensei. I keep zoning out.” I say, my voice remaining unheard by my own ears.

Suri can evidently hear me, and nods. I concentrate on balancing my chakra properly so that I was able to tune the sounds as if my ears were a radio. Puzzled at how this wasn't working, I wondered if I was focusing on the wrong section inside my ear. I had moved on to my ear drums and found that the sound and screamed in my ears, causing me to flinch and groan. Now I heard that for sure. “I think I got it now..”

[/color] Suri says, rubbing her throat while speaking. So all I had to do was to focus my chakra to my throat and speak. If my voice was heard, my Mother and sensei would be able to pick it up and answer me stating so.

Once Suri had stopped speaking, she had expelled her mind and re-entered the Spy Form. I was already removing the chakra from my ear drums and was concentrating on focusing it toward my mouth and throat. The Larynx is a person's voice-box, and that particular thing gives the person the ability to speak. I had found this out during my training in Medical Ninjutsu. Sure I was twelve years, but I did have quite a bit of knowledge in the human body.

While my chakra swelled up within my mouth, I gradually pushed it down my throat by swallowing. The heat emitting from my chakra filled my throat, causing a warm pit within the area where the Adams Apple is located for a male. But since I am a girl, I didn't have one, but I did however, have a voice box. For a moment I just simply coated the Larynx in chakra, creating a very thin coat around it to test the amount of chakra needed for this task. I then cleared my throat by growling slightly and coughed a few times.

This would have made a sound within the room, so once I had done that, I looked toward my Mother. Mom was sitting on the floor with my comatose body laying in her arms. And judging from Mom's expression on her face and her wandering eyes, she did not hear my coughs. I frown slightly and turned toward Suri who shook her head. “Try again, perhaps use a little more chakra.” I sigh and amps up the amount of chakra and concentrates on thickening the coat of chakra surrounding my Larynx.

[/b] I say, somewhat loudly. My Mother's head jerked in my direction and a small smile curved her lips. “Very close, Rosalie, I could only make out “Mom” and “hear”. Mom says shaking her head slightly. I knew this because my focus was on her mouth.

I glance toward Suri and she nodded in response.[/i] Okay, more chakra and I'll get this done.. This time I had focused a finger nail's worth of chakra into my throat. The warmth suddenly changed into a somewhat burning sensation, but it wasn't painful. My Larynx was now coated somewhat heavily with chakra, almost 1cm thick to be exact. I concentrated on flattening and evening it out to the point when it was as flat as the surface of a table. I coughed again and growled because it felt slightly uncomfortable.

Mom looked in my direction again but said nothing. I decided to move away from that area and to stand beside my Mother and my body. I had wanted to return to it though, but I needed to do this to complete my training. A yawn escaped my mouth and my attention then went back to my Mother's face. “How about now?” I say briefly, smiling toward my Mother. Mom nodded and shifted her weight. “Now I hear, “out” and “now”, I think your using too little chakra, Rosie.”

I am annoyed now. My hands curl up into two small balls as I sigh. “I am using a lot of chakra for this, how come it is not working?!” I partially shout out. Mom looked sharply toward my body, her eyes suddenly wide. “I heard all that. How much chakra are you using?” She then said, her tone soaked in amusement. “At least a finger nail's worth.” I reply, my voice back to an inside tone. Mom smiled and nodded.

“You sound very faint though. Except when you shout. You need to concentrate on using that amount of chakra to speak more clearly in the future, alright?” Suri's voice was now heard. Confused, I turned around to find Suri approaching my body and Mother within her own body. I sigh and drop my chin to my chest. This is a lot harder than I thought...
