Ariel Nara had finally found a quiet place to study; her uncle's basement. If only she could see in here... Peering into the darkness, she gave up hope and went back upstairs. Uncle Juno, she asked as she got an apple out of the fridge. Why don't we have a light in the basement? Wouldn't it be easier to find stuff down there?

Why would we put a light in the basement, when all we have to do is a couple of handseals, and we can see in the dark. Saves our money, too, he replied, chopping up the vegetables for dinner.

We have a jutsu for this?! How come nobody told me?! Ariel explaimed indignantely. Could you teach me how to do it, Uncle? Please...

Her uncle put the vegetables in a pot of boiling water, put some more ingrediants, and finally agreed. It'll be a while before the soup finally cooks. We can use that time for training. Let's go!

They headed down to the basement, with her uncle explaining the basics. Alright, what you'll wanna do is three seals, Dragon Horse Dragon, then start to focus Chakra behind your eyes. In the beginning, you probably won't get it, but when you're done, shadowy areas will be as bright as day. Just be warned, don't look at light when you're doing this jutsu. It could seriously affect your vision.

When they finally got there, her uncle said he'd do it first, to show her how. Of course, he forgot that she couldn't see a thing, so it was to no avail. Alright, your turn, Ariel! he said, and she started to the handsigns.

The first part was easy. She knew each of the handsign down from her Academy days, so that part was easy. However, she hadn't gotten much training in the Chakra focusing part, which is what had her beat. The first time, her Chakra still remained pretty spread out, though she was starting to see the outlines of things by the fifth time. And by the tenth time, she knew vaguely where things were.

Alright. You look pretty exhausted. How about you, me, and possibly your Aunt, if she's back, have some soup? Sound good? Ariel nodded, they dispelled the jutsu, and walked upstairs together.

They finished lunch pretty quickly, and were back in the basement in no time. Right away, Uncle Juno did the jutsu, then waited for Ariel to follow. Ariel was starting to get accostomed to it, so she was able to do the handsigns really quickly, and the Chakra gathering was getting easier.

It was the twelveth time when she could vaguely see her uncle smiling down on her. I got it! she exclaimed, but it was gone just as fast. Damn it! I'll never get the hang of this!

It used to help me to visualize it, her uncle said. Just visualize the back of your eyes. Then visualize blue Chakra gathering behind it. Finally visualize yourself seeing the room around you with these new eyes.

Ariel nodded, and did the handsigns again. Dragon, Horse, Dragon, back of eyes, Chakra gathering. Slowly, the room started to come into more focus. Eventually, she could see the room in a shadowy format. I got it! she yelled again, except this time the jutsu wasn't dispelled when she lost concentration.

Good job! Now, I'm going to go over here, and pick something up, her uncle said, going a bit farther away. I want you to tell me what it is.

He picked something out of his pocket, and held it up. Ariel started concentrating on it. Lesse, it's circular. No, more spherical, Ariel thought. She started to concentrate more. It fits pretty smoothly in his hand. It looks pretty good. Without her realizing it, the room was starting to get clearer. All she could see was the thing, which slowly started to be more in focus, then gain the colour red... Is it an apple? Ariel ventured to guess.

Right! he said. Then they moved on to the next thing...

Uncle Juno put the apple back in his pocket, and said, Let's play a game! Hide 'n' Seek. I'll hide and you have to find me only using your jutsu. Dispell it, and count. Ariel did just that, and started to count. When she got to twenty, she stopped, turned around, and did the three handseals again. They were coming naturally to her now. Her fingers intertwined, with her thumbs and pinkies extended and touching, for the Dragon Seal. This shifted into Horse Seal, where all her fingers were bent and intertwined, except for her index fingers, which were straight and touching at the tips, and her thumbs, which were bent and not touching each other at all. This shifted back into the Dragon Seal, and she opened her eyes to a shadowy haze. All in a couple of seconds.

She then started to move around. Most of what she saw was grey and shadowy, with shapes blending into each other. After tripping over a small table and landing hard on her face, she realized she was going to have to concentrate on this jutsu harder if she wanted to win the game. Sitting down on the table, she concentrated on a spot on the wall, and started to gather more Chakra behind her eyes. Eventually, she could make out the wall colour, a very dull grey, and excitedly turned her vision elsewhere. The table was a rich brown, the chair was a darker brown, and a painting that hung from the wall was full of beautiful shades and hues. The whole room looked like someone had lifted the house up and let the light shine in. She started to look for her uncle.

It didn't take her long to find him. He hadn't actually been hiding; he had just been sitting in a corner. This was more of a test to get her to use the jutsu to its full potential.
