Kanna had to get a hold of herself she was going to make anything meaningful out of her time with this weird woman. She couldn't understand why being around her was so frightening, but for what its worth a good scare or two was probably going to help her make Halloween art when that holiday comes around later. Uh...moving on from that topic though, the young kunoichi definitely felt the pressure of performance on her shoulders.

She hasn't had many sensations creep into her mental state like this, but now that it has happened she felt foolish. Her will at this point, would normally snap right out of what mind trap she was caught in, but on this occasion. The willpower to do anything productive with that kind of inner strength has failed to reach its destination.

The most Kanna do is hope for the best, and hope this little girl doesn't try to eat her face with those maws or something. The green haired kunoichi spent her first movement with this idea in mind. Keeping distance, right now she was in now position to be in close quarters with an opponent as confident as this. (1) Therefore her first movement would be to dig her left hand into the small bag hugging her left hip to grab the flavored clay it contained. (2) Having gotten a good supply at least up to a whole slots worth, she'd force her trembling hand to rise up to her single main mouth up at her face, and stick the clay right into it chewing as normally as she could manage like as if she wasn't frightened about what could happen.

This process at her level took a short supply of seconds to do. Although because of her fears she didn't want to risk using something more violent. Her eyes wouldn't leave Sachi as she chewed and molded the clay comfortably in her mouth. Keeping her fears in mind, Kanna instead of making a usual art piece, would infuse it with properties slightly less abrasive than its normal form. Her chakra instead would steadily infuse the shapeshifting clay with simple compressed energy. Filling it to its appropriate compacity without stepping anywhere near the usual bomb making formula.

Her subtle change would only be obvious once this creation makes its final debut, but she didn't plan on it changing too much. Just enough to give her more time to adjust...to learn. (3) So with this settled Kanna would raise her right hand to her now slightly puffed out cheeks, and let her flavored clay creation gently pop itself right out of her mouth into her hand. The creation itself would be a small origami bird. Kanna would have added more detail, but she was in a rush...

[💥Havoc💥]

-- The Attack --

"Weak..." she'd depressingly mention after viewing the results of her work.

Once the bird itself was made, Kanna admittedly felt literal embarrassment about it. She blushed shamefully at the sight of her little origami bird. She wanted to make a simple finch, but it looks like her mind canvas wasn't drawing the right pictures right now... Still it would serve its purpose. Kanna still had some clay to mess with. And so...with this first creation made, she'd use it more so an appetizer for whatever the hell she was going to do against Sachi.

(1) Regardless of the bird's form Kanna would use her clan's natural abilities to put it to use. Her mind gave it the directions it needed, which sparked a twitch or two from its origami body before it actually started flapping its wings to take flight.

(2.) The chakra within this clay creation was more than enough to get it going, and after getting airborne the bird itself would begin a left to right swaying flight bath towards Sachi.

3.) Depending on what Sachi did Kanna's attack would be very bare bones. Kanna would try to get within 5 meters to be extra safe with the useless bird, before pulling this punch. Once there she'd form the katsu seal to first enlarge the bird to the maximum of 6 inches, just before she'd make it initiate its debut.

"K-atsu?" she'd call out just before the origami bird would utilize its given properties to make a forceful 10 meter explosion:

-pap-

In tandem with the goofy sound this explosion was clearly not the normal one. Instead it utilized pure wind pressure, to make a probably surprisingly strong force of wind expand exceedingly quick. However the boom itself was nowhere near the mayhem Havoc is known for. In fact it would be clearly...weak in comparison to the climaxes of even a simple explosive tag.

The explosion would definitely still be strong enough to be felt. At least in the sense of like a hard punch, but not really? Who knows, it would kick up sandy debris at least.

[Flower]

As Kanna finished creating her clay bird, in whatever form it took, she'd notice that Sachi's body was beginning to rip apart. There were at least five tears in her skin (one on the outside of each forearm, one on the back of each hand, and one, large tear across the side of the neck) that took on the appearance of mouths filled with razor-sharp fangs. They might have looked like Kanna's own mouths, if not for how viciously they tore at the air and sent drool leaking from their lips. The mouths on each forearm were at least a foot wide, but the ones on her palms were smaller. The one at her neck was at least a foot long, stretching beneath the collar of her dress and rarely opening up.

The bird flew at her. Sachi went, as if to kick it far-off into the air, but then there was a loud pop! and the bird exploded. It felt as if Sachi had been hit with a punch as the wind knocked her slightly off balance. But she held her firm stance and jerked toward Kanna in a swift motion once the explosion was over -- as fast as an S-ranked taijutsu specialist she'd cross the distance to her opponent. If she got within reach Sachi would grasp out with her right palm, and fang'd maw, at Kanna's throat, while her left hand moved in with a different strike from below. Sachi held her pointer and middle fingers together, an unknown attack coming for the tender muscles of Kanna's left shoulder.

Shihana watched, crossing her arms when she saw the bird explode. It was an ability she'd never seen before -- although had heard about the Sankuchi clan in relation to the Third Kazekage. It was marvelous to behold, but Kanna seemed to lack the true power that she could attain. As Sachi moved in for her attacks, Shihana kept a close eye on Kanna.

What will you do now?

Flashback Training

Watching the young genin practice her moves, and start to acquire the knowledge necessary to be a shinobi, made Shihana reflect back on her own youth and around the time that she started to learn phantasm genjutsus from criminals near the coast. A couple of her more profound mentors had excelled at genjutsu, and had shown her their ability to make genjutsus that truly struck fear into the hearts of their victims. Shihana remembered back, to all of the extra handseals and instructions that they had given, and started to learn to enhance the phantasm illusion jutsu all on her own. With only her memories as a guide, Shihana began to perform basic C-ranked illusions but imbued them with heavier amounts of chakra than normal. In order to contain all of the extra energy, Shihana had to weave extra handseals into her techniques that she saw her mentors perform when they wanted to make a particularly terrifying genjutsu.

It seemed as if the jutsu started to shape itself after that, imbued with the correct amounts of chakra and reacting to the specific string of handsigns. Shihana sent out her Wandering Dragon technique and saw that a new aura of chakra had trapped itself around the edges of the genjutsu. Shihana inspected the aura and could tell that there were several holes, meaning that she needed to dissipate the jutsu and try again to create a more powerful trap. The next time that Shihana formed the handseals, she used her own idea of fear within her own psyche to fuel the jutsu enhancement and make sure that her genjutsu was as horrifying as possible. She confronted her feelings about Ken and Valerys, feeling a deep sense of fear well up inside of her and run into her chakra network -- immediately influencing all of the chakra that seemed to leak out of her body. Once again, Shihana moved to conjure up the wandering dragon. This time, however, she was using the chakra based on her own fear to draw the creature forward.

When Shihana's genjutsu emerged, the dragon flitted through the air and formed out of a haze of chakra-infused, illusory smoke. It had red eyes, and flew about in the air menacingly, as Shihana's chakra began to run through the air and psyche of anyone that happened to enter the area. Shihana could feel her fear running through the chakra as it blew about on the breeze, threatening to harm even those who were able to resist the first layer of her attack. Of course, there was nobody around save a single friend who had agreed to help her train -- who had blocked her genjutsu and was now starting to shiver. Goosebumps were moving up his arm, as he claimed that he didn't see the dragon but still seemed to be affected by one of Shihana's attacks. Shihana smiled at her friend's statement, deciding that she would try to make one more Insidious Illusion, just to make sure that she had the procedure down properly. This time she worked on a B-ranked illusion, making sure that she could provide enough chakra for the enhancement.

Flashback Training

When Shihana started learning how to use force chakra and form it into attacks, she had been training a lot in taijutsu. Looking for a way to enhance her skills, Shihana sought to tranform the power of the force chakra into an offensive-defense that could surround her body. Such a universal jutsu seemed difficult to conjure, but Shihana thought on it for several days in the desert as she allowed mass amounts of chakra to swirl around her body. Shihana spent many hours transforming her chakra-aura into force energy that adapted to her presence and remained around her body. It was difficult for the air to even blow her hair, as it was covered in so much of the force chakra. Eventually, she came up with the idea to shape the force chakra into tiny bristles around her skin -- just in case an opponent came within range during close-combat.

In order to accomplish such a feat, Shihana had to start to manipulate all of the force chakra that surrounded her skin so that it started to become harder. Most force chakra was in an incorporeal state until adjusted to fit physical reality, so Shihana altered the chakra and forced it to cling to her skin to keep from floating away. As the chakra started to harden, Shihana knew that she needed to focus on the form so she started to imagine the bristles over her right arm. The force chakra rushed there, in response to her thought, and started to form small, thin bristles all along the forearm. Shihana looked at them with wonder, as they started to glow a faint, white light, and watched as her chakra continued to produce more and more bristles around the rest of her arm and up toward her shoulder blade.

The bristles responded to her mind readily, since they were linked via her chakra, but it required a certain amount of concentration to keep them stable. Soon her chakra started to disperse and disappear, and the bristles faded away from her skin. Shihana worked again to focus on force chakra and push it out of her right arm, causing it to swirl in the air before it stuck to her skin. Shihana willed it to form the bristles as before, but this time she forced a pool of chakra into her jutsu that it could feed upon. It didn't feel great giving up so much energy, but she hoped that it would pay off. The bristles continued to grow and expand, especially as Shihana gave even more small doses of chakra, and stretched out over her chest and neck. Shihana knew that soon the force chakra would establish itself over her entire body -- and then it would become a proper defense.

Flashback Training

Back at the Senpu Dojo, Valerys went to the lab of one of her sensei and started to look around at all of the supplies. Kimyona entered when she wasn't expecting him and he was glad to see her, claiming that he had some new technique that she could learn. He took her over to his cabinet of venoms and poisons, and asked her if she knew how to apply them to a weapon. She said she did, but Kimyona told her that he could teach her to do it much quicker. He took out two jars of simple water and gave them to Valerys, telling her that she could practice with this. Water was easier, and quicker, to apply than most thicker liquids such as toxins. Valerys brought her spear, Bitter Mercy, with her and practiced taking out the jar swiftly and opening it up over the blade -- letting the water run down and soak the metal. She had trouble opening the jar, however, and she was not able to move as fast as a true alchemist should have been able to move.

"You'll need to do better than that," Kimyona reiterated, and Valerys moved in an instant to unseal the jar once more. She was more aware of the speed and grab of the lid, allowing her to get it off in a second and then pay careful attention as a splash of water fell on to her weapon. "Better," Kimyona judged, "but still not good enough. You'll need to quicker at applying the water to your weapon before we move on to slower moving liquids." She knew that he was right and that, at her current speed, venoms and toxins would be of no use to her in combat. So she tried again with the water and this time she truly concentrated on her fingers, making them move as fast as they would go to open the jar just at the moment that she was holding it above the spear. The water fell down in an instant and drenched the blade. Valerys looked up to her master and he smiled, his long black hair bobbing with his nod of approval. 

"Next you'll try with a lotion," Kimyona said and gave her a potion of some thick, cream-colored lotion that was slower to pour out of the bottle. Valerys looked at it and waited for Kimyona to say, "Go!" before she dashed forward. Her hands got the lid open, just like with the water, but the lotion wouldn't pour out on her to the blade of her spear quick enough. She had to shake and squeeze at the bottle, causing it to take too long and she knew that if it were venom that she wouldn't have stood a chance. "Damn it," she muttered to herself as she prepared to try again. This time she had a better feel for the liquid and knew that she could get it to flow out easier. She dived for the lid like before and got it off without a moment's hesitation, then titled the bottle so that it was positioned the proper distance above her weapon. Not even an inch above. The lotion started to flow out as she coaxed with her wrists and fingers, eventually dabbling a few drops on the blade. Valerys looked to Kimyona for approval but there was none there. She still was not moving fast enough.

Linked Portal
Rank: "B"
Type: Travel Ritual
Effect: User creates a glowing circle of sigils on the ground nearby, and the user can see a hazy vision of a far-off city. The user and their friends step into the circle, and the user is instantly whisked away to that place.
Special: To perform: 10 minutes; Duration: Special
Drawback: ---
Description: The user creates a shortcut across the fabric of the world, linking their location with a permanent teleportation circle somewhere else on the same plane. With a step, the user can move from one circle to the other. The circle must be 3-meter-diameter. To create this temporary teleportation circle the user must know the exact location of the permanent teleportation circle to teleport to the right destination. It disappears at the end of the portal’s duration. The user's Travel Mastery determines the duration that the portal remains open.
Advanced: 1 round
Expert: 3 rounds
Master: 5 rounds
User can use a permanent teleportation circle as the origin point of this ritual, making minor temporary modifications as part of the ritual. Doing this reduces the cost to 10,000 Ryo of components. While the portal is open, any creature that enters the circle at the origin point instantly appears at the other location, along with anything the creature holds or carries. Any number of creatures of any size can use an open portal; the only limitation is the number that can reach the circle before it ends. Anyone standing in the vicinity of either end of the portal can see a haze-infused vision of the teleportation circle at the other end of the connection, as well as the environment 20 meters beyond it. Effectively, everything at the destination within this area of visibility has concealment, and the area beyond is completely fogged out (Naturally, portals that last longer give the user a better opportunity to study the place they are going to before they step into the circle.). Environmental effects at one end of the connection do not affect the other end. This ritual can take you anywhere in the world, but it cannot take you to other planes. Additionally the user cannot Link to Teleportation Circles with specific Triggers (See Create Teleportation Circle). Sufficiently powerful warding Rituals, such as the Forbiddance ritual, can block a teleportation ritual. If the location is warded in such a manner, the user learns that as soon as they begin the ritual, so the user can interrupt the ritual and not expend any components.
Limit: Must be a Ritualist for Travel Rituals.
Cost: Market Price: 23,000 Ryo Performing Price: 17,000 Ryo

Flashback Training

Not long ago, Valerys had visited the Senpu Dojo with her ritual book after acquiring some new travel rituals in the Land of Earth. One of them, the Linked Portal ritual, was particularly valuable to her skill set. She took the instructions on how to perform it into Kimyona's Tower where she found one of his ritual labs to work within. The teacher was not around, so she opened up her "Preliminaries" text book for travel rituals and flipped to the page on the Linked Portal. There was a very complicated list, and set of diagrams, on how to set-up the ritual, so Valerys dedicated herself to the information almost immediately. She sat down at the first page and looked at the basic design of the sigils that would make up the temporary portal. The circle itself was made up of seven of these sigils, so Valerys knew that she needed to commit its design to her memory so that she could form it in a moment's notice.

Valerys got on the floor and took a white piece of chalk, starting to draw the sigil on the ground and see what it felt like to make the lines. She referenced the text at first, making sure that everyone of her movements and drawing was the same as the diagram. When she had finished, Valerys looked at the product -- but it was not nearly as official as the one that was in the book. A little disappointed, she set herself to looking over the sigil in the book once more. This time she stared and meditated on it for several seconds, beginning to commit the sigil to her memory bank so that she could reference it later. After a few minutes of intense concentration, Valerys moved back to the cobblestone floor.

This time, as she drew the sigil in chalk, Valerys kept the image of the symbol in the front of her mind. She seemed to be looking at the picture of the sigil, although she was turned away from her book, and mimicked the exact lines as she drew the sigil on the floor. When she compared it to the diagram, it looked almost exactly the same and Valerys cheered internally -- proud of herself for having accomplished at least this much. After she had learned to draw the sigil, Valerys knew that she needed to move on to the next step. The Linked Portal required seven of the sigils be drawn, and imbued with chakra, around a circle. Valerys took the piece of chalk and found an open spot on the floor, running her chakra throughout her torso and into her arms to prepare for the work.

[Flower]

2. [??/40]

As the chakra coursed through Valerys' arms, she picked up the chalk and fell down to her knees so that she could draw the sigils into the cobblestones. The chakra ran into her fingertips and, eventually, into the chalk as well so that it was as if she were drawing with chakra. Valerys picked out a circular spot and drew seven, medium-sized circles around the spot of the future portal. Every time she drew the outline of one of the sigils, Valerys felt the chakra run out of her body and into the circles that she was crafting. Then she had to fill them in with the details and symbols, that way the portal would be charged appropriately. She set to doing the first one, calling up the mental image of the sigil and copying it exactly and filling the lines with the correct amounts of chakra.

Once she'd finished the first sigil, Valerys moved on to the second. And then the third. In this way she went around to each of the unfinished circles and completed them, filling them in with details that matched the exact diagram in her textbook. Each of them were filled with her chakra so that Valerys felt as if a part of herself were built into the portal. When she was done, Valerys looked at them with satisfaction and then turned to her ritual book once more. She needed to figure out the next step in the ritual, so she referred to the complicated list to see what came next. Valerys did as the book described and sat on the outside of the sigils, holding her hands out as if she were stretching her hands around an invisible orb. Then she ran her chakra up, through her torso, and into the air.

The chakra began to infuse itself into the environment and some of it was whisped away on the wind. Valerys paid closer attention, however, and directed her focus toward the sigils on the ground. Her chakra began to swarm and move to the motion of her thoughts, following her concentration toward the sigils and inside of them -- beginning to activate the chakra that was already latent that she infused earlier. The text had described that a mantra could help the mind concentrate for a long period of time, exactly what was needed in order to open up the portal. So Valerys started practicing a mantra to settle her mind, emanating the syllable, "Ohm," to herself and letting her chakra move throughout the portal. As her mind swam in the ocean of her psyche, the space also seemed to be swimming with her chakra and slowly bubbling into reality. There was, however, one crucial component that she was missing and Valerys knew it. A teleportation circle that she needed to link to.

[Flower]

3. [??/40]

As she was thinking about her dilemma, Kimyona showed up from behind her and scared her out of her concentration with a brief, "Hello." Valerys wasn't easy to scare but she jumped a little and turned around to find the man standing nonchalantly in the doorway of the ritual lab. "Is everything going okay?" he asked and studied her sigils on the floor. Valerys knew that Kimyona was well aware of the technique that she was learning, since he was a highly intelligent man who knew a wide variety of rituals. Valerys explained that she needed a teleportation circle to link with, and Kimyona showed her to a small, storage room within his tower. Inside was a permanent teleportation circle that Kimyona had created. "Step up to it and feel the chakra," Kimyona explained, "Once you know the essence of a teleportation circle, you will be much more inclined to weave it into your rituals." Valerys did as she was told and stepped up to the lone object in that room: the portal.

Valerys let chakra run out her body and into the room until she could feel almost every detail with her aura. She let her mind travel forward and investigate the portal with her chakra, taking a sample of its energy and bringing it back into her chakra network. "Have you felt it?" Kimyona asked, and Valerys knew that she had. Kimyona took her back to the ritual lab where the sigils were still waiting for her, ready for the ritual to be completed. Valerys sat back down in her spot and started to hum the mantra, letting her mind go black and all of her chakra weave into the atmosphere once more. She could feel the sigils immediately in front of her via her chakra, and pushed them to infuse with the location of the permanent teleportation circle that Kimyona had showed her. The sigils seemed to active in some strange way and, suddenly, all seven of them started to glow.

It was as if they were filled with a soft, blue light. The seven sigils radiated with the power of Valerys' chakra and she stared at them in amazement. She'd never seen something so wonderful, but kept her chakra and mind steady so that the portal would continue to generate. She kept the room that Kimyona showed her in the forefront of her mind so that her concentration would keep the portal steady as it started to form. The instructions said that once the sigils started to glow, a special set of words needed to be said in order to activate the portal. Valerys brought out her book and looked up the words, committing them to memory and repeating them over and over in her head. Although they were in a language she didn't recognize, she sounded out the words and repeated them until she knew that she could say them naturally. She looked once more at the glowing sigils, reaffirming her belief in herself, and said the words of that dead, ritualist language.

[Flower]

4. [??/40]

The space inside of the seven sigils began to glow the same soft, blue light as the sigils. Suddenly the portal roared into life and light filled the room that had been otherwise dark, except for the light of a few candles. Valerys looked at it in amazement, but then the portal started to flicker as if it were a lamp that was going out. Then it shut off and was gone. Kimyona was watching from up against one of the walls and said, "You got too excited and didn't use enough chakra in the early stages of the ritual. You must imbue it with as much chakra as you can imagine it would take to fill a space from one portal to another. It is difficult to conjure up so much energy at once, but you must learn to do it if you hope to travel near-instantly across this world." Valerys listened to the words of her master and set up starting over with her ritual, determined to make it work this time. She grabbed an entirely new piece of chalk since her old one had been used up during the first round.

Valerys bent down to the floor and ran the chakra through her arms just as before but now, with Kimyona's advice, she transferred even greater amounts of her energy throughout her hands. They felt a slight, warm sensation in them as the chakra ran into the chalk -- acting as the medium for all of her power. She imagined the entire area from the ritual lab, to the room with the portal, being filled with her chakra as she started to inscribe the sigils. She had gotten pretty good at their design from the first Linked Portal that she had tried to create, so it didn't take her long to draw seven more in a circle. They looked even more like the diagram in her textbook than the last attempt, and had been filled with every ounce of her chakra that she was building up. When she stepped away and sat on the outside of the space, Valerys could feel a mass of energy in front of her that she tried to contain with simply the power of her mind.

She repeated the mantra to keep her mind, and the mass of chakra, steady in space as she prepared herself with the image of the teleportation circle that she wanted to link with. She could feel the chakra in the portal beginning to activate at the thought of the destination, and the sigils began to glow just like before. All of the chakra within the ritual suddenly started to feed into the sigils, connecting with Valerys' mind and the image of the permanent portal in the room not too far away. Then Valerys repeated the words that were marked in her textbook, that she had committed to memory, and suddenly the Linked Portal came to life. Suddenly the entire space inside of the sigils burned a bright blue and became a gateway. The chakra flowed into the portal like a river and opened up a tunnel to the room across the hall. Valerys looked forward, inside of her creation, and saw the small, storage room from earlier.

"You did it," Kimyona said with a hint of admiration. "Now you must just learn to keep it steady." Valerys looked at the portal -- concentrating with her mind so it would not fade.

Flashback Training

After having learned much about her soul while journeying through the deserts of the Land of Wind, Valerys decided that she needed to adapt her eyes to her new soul abilities. She could feel the power of her spirit like another energy inside of her, other than her chi or chakra. Like when she used her other soulcaster attacks, Valerys sent her soul energy throughout her body and concentrated it at the focus point of her technique -- in this case, the eyes. It seemed that she was tuning into her own subtle body, which was closely related to the soul, and could feel the second set of eyes that was normally hidden in the ethereal realms. Valerys let her mind go blank and closed her physical eyes, wandering through her own energy and soul network. Eventually she thought that she could sense her second pair of eyes and forced all of her soul energy into them, forcing them to start to open up. At the same moment, Valerys' physical eyes also began to open. 

When her eyes opened up this time, however, her soul did seem to have taken over slightly and left a strange sort of filter over her vision. It was if she could see colorful lines and auras surrounding the various physical objects that surrounded her, such as the cactus and animals. However, the auras didn't seem to tell her much nor could she interpret them. Valerys continued running her soul throughout her ocular network as she approached a stone and put her hand to its surface. She was surprised when she left a hand print on the rock, which her soul-infused pupils were clearly able to see. Valerys stood back and the hand print disappeared, but she kept her concentration as still as possible to try to lengthen the duration of the print lasting on the rock. It hadn't even remained for three seconds, Valerys realized sadly, and put her hand back to the stone in order to try again.

It was as if she were trying to look through water or heavy fog. The new vision, that was similar to an extraplanar creature, was difficult to maintain and control. Valerys found herself taking deep breaths to steady her mind so that it could concentrate on the vision, bringing forth Valerys' true eyes from the depths of her soul. Every second took a great strain on her power, but Valerys held it as long as she could. Over time her eyes began to change as well, taking on a new appearance to match her new vision. As Valerys took her hand away from the rock this time, she found that her vision had improved and the print remained on the stone for at least six seconds. Valerys was watching closely, so that she could develop the technique as much as possible, when she noticed a strange fuzzy aura from her right side. She could suddenly sense the presence of an invisible creature...
