Inori sat in the field. She had no idea what kind of Jutsu to work on for her mission. She had until sundown today to make up and learn a C level Jutsu of some sort. She had no idea what she was doing to do.

As she sat there she played with a flower in her hands. Toying with it, and stroking the leaves. Every so often, out of bordom she ejected chakra from her fingers and into the leaves and stem of the flower. 

As she did this she saw the flower perk up, and twist, happy like it wanted to grow. She let the flower grow and feed of the nibbles of chakra she fed it. Playing with it like someone would play with a cat. Interested in what she was now doing, and wanting to keep her hands busy she curiously picked the flower, feeling it get cut off from the soil and fe chakra right into the stem. As she did such, the flower perked up.

as she fed the chakra in, the flower continued to twist and grow bit by bit. Then seeing how pretty the flower was, Inori caused her chakra to freeze. Stopping the growth and preserving the flower. The flower stopped twisting and froze. Inori then went one petal at a time touching it, fusing the petals to the but, and the leaves to the stem. The colors dancing on her chakra. 

As she she paused a gain th flower looked to her as colored glass. Frozen in the height of it's beauty and sheen. The colors made more vibrant by the chakra, and the flower seems alive yet somehow. 

[祈]

As the flower froze, Inori smiled at herself, seeking the chakra in the stem and coming the hig color out of the leaves. She wanted to make it as natural and real as she could. She infused more chakra into the stem and leaves. Making it more resilient to bumps and tears. If this flower was to live on without soil, water, and sun, she would have to keep feed it well before putting it in her hair.

As she did this a particularly large butterfly with eye like wings fluttered to her frozen flower. Inori knew she had done a good job as soon as a real butterfly decided to come over and check it out for themselves.

As the butterfly came over and landed on the flower she held, a shot of genius ran through her. What if she could use the wings as her own eyes, allowing her to spy more effectively. She could... Her thoughts trailed off as she put her hands together and fed chakra to the butterfly, making this new butterfly hers. She owned it now, wild or otherwise.

She he then had to mediate and cut out all the other...

*BOOM*

as soon as Inori closed her eyes and tried to connect with the butterfly she instantly noticed one thing: there were too many. Upon closing her eyes, and starting the meditation Inori had instinctively put her chakra out into the world, hoping to connect with the one butterfly that she actually wanted to. In this case it was the Big one on the flower, yet as soon as she closed her fluttery lids, and put her chakra out all the other butterflies vied for her attention.

Inori snapped her yes open, aghast at just how many butterflies there were. She was way overwhelmed. How could she find that one like butterfly, if there were so many trying to get her attention. Inori wrinkled her forehead and tried again, this time she would look at the butterfly and then, try to connect with the butterfly.

Yet again as soon as she tried to connect and released her chakra out the butterflies came. This time there were more though. A flurry of color, emotion and instinct came rushing at her. The others had all sensed her and now wanted her chakra. It was like her chakra was the prey they all seemed after, and it was calling all of them with a huge red blinking sign, and a horn, inviting them in. 

As as soon as Inori snapped her eye open again, she noticed all the Butterlies in the field had stopped flying about happily, and we're now looking at her, looking at her like they knew her, like they wanted her, like... She was no longer dominate. They had seen her moment of weakness and now did not wish to obey, and love her, moreso they wanted to feast on her chakra, knowing they could overwhelm her. 

Inori yelled! They butterflies did not move, and stood near motionless. She felt like she was being dead to enter into that connective state again and see who was really the boss, who the quests was per say. Inori had never done this before, and for the first time since she had connected to the Butterlies, she felt alone. 

Inori was beginning to realize these bugs, these fluttery kissing friends would only respect her and obey her if she was their master. They would not obey a weak master, and they would not protect and help a weak master if wounded. They would only do so if she either subjected them, ruled them, and fed them. Such was the wild way of the universe, the first irrevocable law nature had set forth before time was counted by men. 

Inori stared back, the wildness inside of her spurring her on telling her she had to do it, that she had to open up communication with them again and assert her own power. Only then would she be able to use them, only then would they become a real part of her. If she was truly the Butterly queen, she somehow knew, it would not matter if she was hurt they would obey her. But right here, right now, she had just tried to control them on a new level. A level without free chakra and street dancing in the wind. This level was of goal and utter rule of the hearts and minds of every Butterly she hasd allowed to taste her chakra.

Inori put her hands together, not knowing exactly what she was going to do, and closed her eyes.

as she plunged back into the white hot swarm of her and the butterflies mind, she felt a new flaming hostility. Not the kind that one feels when they want to murder another, but when one is threatened by a predator kind. This time Inori was after her prey, she wanted to be one with the butterflies again, but she also wanted their untapped power and skills which nature hid from mankind. 

Inori's intuition protected her from the first onslaught of emotions and desires of the butterflies, but the second nearly drowned her out. She had to subdue them, and she refused to let her chakra be their only source of succulence. She had to overpower them, control them. She tossed her larger and powerful will against theirs. She be an fussing with their wills.

She cut their desire out from under them. She grabbed at any weakness and probed for it with her mental fingers. The butterflies did not wait long to strike back. Almost without warning they were stabbing at her loneliness, biting at her ignorance, and battling her at her fears. Inori tossed in her mind, he strength fading quickly against the mass horde of insects.

Falling back against the seeming endless swarm in her mind, flashes of hot white hunger she searched or an anchor, refusing to be lost in the sea of emptiness. She found none. The butterflies were relentless, fighting their way into her heart, peicing her sorrow, bringing up feelings of regret. She watched helplessly as she recalled watching her father experiment on children. She saw the shame in her eyes as she tricked other children to come with her and to be taken by her father. She felt the blade of his scalpel on her skin as if it were his lab.

With that the butterflies dug deeper, but Inori was numb. She watched the images fly across her vision like a a blizzard of pain. Her mind wandering through agony. It was then that the fiendish bugs hit a nerve. 

They pulled the image of her mother. 

Inori raged with horrid anger, she caught the bugs out of that memory like a dragon. Her feeling s boiling over and her anger feverish and daunting. She could feel the bugs whimper and want to flee in fear, but there was no mercy. That memory was hers alone. No puny flitting color of the forest would mute her desire to find her mother! Nothing would stop her! Inori's fury was something horrid to behold. 

Though in in the mind the bugs fled, but to no avail, she rug them each down, the children being recaptured by their Mother Nature. Inori raging and scooping their contience into her cup of wrath. It overflowed with power like she had never felt before. Her teeth clenched in fierce sanguine anger and retribution. 

At last the bugs yielded to her completely. Allowing her complete and utter domination of them. She roared in her mind. The sound echoing through her scull. The bugs had a new queen. A queen that would not allow rebellion. A queen who would be obeyed at every turn. Their untapped power tap-able in her might. They respected her. They feared her. And because of that, they loved her in the most wild of ways. 

Inori opened her eyes to find herself in a ring of still unmoving butterflies. The one whom she had summoned alone in front of her. It sat atop her glass like flower, preserved by her strange chakra. 

[祈]

??/30 now in control, her body no longer shaking. She looked at her wild children who had taken her chakra. She owned them as any queen owned her natural subjects. They lived for her, the purpose to their gathering. 

With one of the larger butterflies on the glass flower, she gazed at it and connected to it with her mind. This time instead of having to fight through all her butterflies, the nature voice came to her easily, almost as a reflex, and it was in her mind. She gaze it chakra to preform it's labors and channeled a decent amount. Along with her desire into the bug. 

She he then made handseals which she thought appropriate and saw the eye in her mind. Imagining it to be like a third eye, Inori attempted to see something. Alas there was nothing to see, the wings made to change and her sight didn't differ. 

She tried again this time she touched the creature and transferred the needed chakra to it. This made it easier to distinguish when sorting out her thoughts, but also she figured would make it connect easier for the first time. The bugs mind bending to her will shifted it's scales to that of an eye. The eye spot on the wings moving and shifting. 

Inori then hen used her own chakra to try and form the image that was being seen by those eyes in her mind. While something was there, she could not see anything. Her mind like a blur, and her head starting to hurt. With the pain she stopped and tried to figure out what was wrong. She tried to figure out why the third eye would not work. She could use that this...

Her thoughts trailed off. Inori had no idea what it would be like to have a third eye. She also had no idea how that would change her vision, or limit her body. She needed to stick with something she understood. Something she felt was more likely to work.

instinctive this time she closed her own eye and pooled chakra into the pupal. Allowing her to feel the parts of her eye and attempt to replicate them better in the butterfly. She focased on this for a couple moments before making the handsigns she had used before. She then followed up with touching the butterfly again and having it move it's scales to replicate what she was doing. 

As this happened she could feel one eye shutting down. In a moment of panic she was just about to stop. Thinking that she was going blind. Afraid of this possible side effect, she almost called the Jutsu off. But as her sight faded a starnge thing happened. Like a ghost, she started to see herself. Like a shadow over the light. She could see her hair,, and the flowers in it. She could see her face and the two fingers over her left, no, right eye. She was seeing what the eye saw on the butterfly. 

Curious she made the butterfly move hoping that she would be able to maintain this Jutsu even while moving. 

[祈]

??/30 -just for good measure. 


Now that she was able to get the eye to work she noticed that while the butterfly was flying, it was shoddy at best. The eye kept cutting out and making it hard to discern what things were what. So canceling the Justu, she flet her sight slowly come back to her. 

Trying the the jutsu this time to try and make it useful was the job. She touched the butterfly and then touched the butterfly, waiting for it to land before she activated the Jutsu. She noted this way that range was not to much of an issue. She was able to see just as well as she was before. Unfortunetly she found that she still has to touch the butterfly to make it work. 

Happy with itch the results but still annoyed that the extra burden that touching made on the sneakiness of the skill, she continued one. Noting that the sun was going down, she only had so much time until she had to meet with the Raikage and show her new Jutsu. 

This is time she let three butterflies fly far, farther and about a mile out. Waiting for the butterflies to land she focased her chakra and began the handseals. As she closed her one eye, she sensed the chakra of the first butterfly landing not to far off. She connected the chakra like a radio wave and sent off a signal to see what was going on. 

This is was not too hard but she found it took a few more seconds to make sure she could make a good connection. Like headphones that have a bad cord she struggled for a second or two before an image began to shift into place. With that she looked around with the eye, and commanded the butterfly to scuttle with her. This was to make sure she could adjust her sight with the insect. It worked to problem. 

Then an closing the other eye she connected to the next butterfly and found tit was slightly easier, her mind finding it easier. Now both eyes closed she found having two visions a little more difficult to unstand seeing two things at once, and gave up on the first one after too many shadows crossed. She was able to see just as well with this new butterfly even though it was farther away.

last one, and she hoped it would work. Severing the last connection she worked to contact the last and farthest Butterly. She made the handsigns and sent out her pulse like chakra. The butterfly's was soon within range. 

[zarak729]

It is against the rules to post training for a second technique while the first one hasn't been graded. However I will let it slide this once... Both learned

[祈]

Noting that she knew the range she could go she creeped the Butterly back til it was in range. A mile, she learned. With that Inori took off to report on her mission, with just a few moments to spare ran breathlessly into the Raikage's plaza.
