Having made it to the land of snow with her master Aranea was not use to the freezing mush around her. Slippery and wet making her uncomfortable as she held her anti gravity claymore in hand staring down her master who used ice jutsu herself."Let me help she sighed." As she walked forward a moment and a gleam about her happened. Suddenly any sign of shivering or being bothered had left her master as she put her hand on Aranea's head.

"Use your soul here." Mental images flashed through her mind as she started to feel out exactly what to do. Her master was transferring the sensation so now Aranea would have an idea of what to accomplish to complete the same goal. Feeling out her soul she connected with it having to stand completely still however to actually do so. Chakra was a mix between phsycial and spiritual energy however her soul lied in the spiritual part.

She summoned it forth to shroud her body. A soft blue hum converged on her body in which was her soul. It lasted a few seconds before she opened her eyes and took a deep breath. The cutting cold did not affect her any longer as it started to fade away. Moving her arms around she trudged around in the snow with a smile as it was that much easier to deal with and manage. She started running around in the snow with her blade to get more acccustomed.

Zeki was walking through the snow, carrying a couple of books and maps with him, along with a umbrella to keep the snow from falling on him too much. He was wondering the snowy landscape of Yuki when he spotted a familiar face in the snow. Waving his hand toward Aranea he sat down a short distance away, both to watch her train and to start training himself.

Staring at the charts and maps and books before him, the Sadojin really did not know where to began in his training. So he pulled out his old trusty guide book, in this case how to learn maps for dummies, and began to read it quite thoroughly. It gave him a basic rundown on how to use maps, how to look for landmarks, and to always know what direction you were going in as the basics to navigation.

Looking at his maps, he found one that seem to be about the local landscape. Looking at it closely he could see a landmark close to him, a fairly large rock jutting up from the ground. He sent out a clone to check to see if the map was right and after waiting about thirty minutes the clone came back to inform him that he had gotten lost. Sighing the Sadojin realized this was going to be a trying effort to learn.

Looking at the map in front of him closely, Zeki was starting to piece together where he was on it correctly. Turns out his first guess had been horribly wrong, he wasn't even on the same map as before, and he was trying his best to find where his current location was. Sadly it was pretty hard to do thanks to how featureless the landscape of Yuki was. But it was good training nonetheless and the Sadojin planned to stick through it.

Which was why he had clones scouting out the general location around them, looking for any real landmark to use. It was not going to well, the best he could find were the occasional corpse of trees or small rock sticking out of the ground. Useful for locals who knew the land like the back of their hand maybe, but not a foreigner trying to learn how to use a map correctly.

Zeki had found a river. It was pretty much frozen over, and wasn't much more than a brook really, but he had found it. And with it he had narrowed down the map they were on by many, coming down to one of three maps. North Eastern, North Western, or South Eastern Yuki. South west Yuki didn't have a river like this one, neither did any of the other maps of yuki. It was a great breakthrough that allowed him to focus on what else he could find to narrow down the search.

Soon he sent out clones to find other landmarks on the map. A second landmark would pretty much tell him which map he was on and after that it was simply going to be trying to find his current location on the correct map. Which was the simple part, the hard part was then plotting a course through the snow correctly. But Zeki was starting to feel up to the challenge...

Zeki was pouring over the maps once again, this time tracing grid zones more carefully. He had a clone go up and down the river for a bit, tracing it's general outline on a map, and was comparing notes. It was a fairly straight forward river, not many bends or turns, which actually was helpfully as it eliminated a map from the pool, cause the rivers in it were all fairly bendy.

Soon one of his clones had returned and told the Sadojin the good news: a mountain had been found not too far from the mouth of the river. Probably feeding the river with run off or something. But it didn't matter what the mountain was doing, as much as where the mountain was. It narrowed down the map they were on, and even pretty much narrowed down where they were on the map. It would soon be over...

Zeki stared at the map before him before slowly moving his finger onto it, to the location he thought they were at. That was the problem, though, he only thought he was at this location...and even then it was a fairly large area. He hadn't really narrowed it down that much as he thought. Then it hit him, to use the trees and rocks from before to narrow his location down even further.

Using the newly utilized information allowed him to pretty much zero his location down on the map. Now instead of a entire grid square and then some of error in his location, Zeki felt he was down to pretty much a quarter of a grid square in error. Which was still a bit much but he could live with it. Now it was time to put his learning into action...

A clone was sent northward. It had very specific directions. This was Zeki's final test, to see if his learning was as good as he thought it was. The clone was to follow the directions to the river, then head to the mountain, stop at the base and turn leftward, head until they see a corpse of trees, turn left again only to continue until they see a rock in a vague L shape. Then another left and they should approach the training location from the south.

It was a simple trekking task really. One that even a clone should be able to follow. But if it did work, it meant that Zeki could now plot a route out on a map and follow it with some accuracy. After waiting about thirty minutes, suddenly he could see his clone walking up from the south. All Zeki could really do was grin as he had done it, plotted a correct course using only a map and a compass.

Air Walk
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is touch. Duration of this technique is 50 minutes per Class Level. Target of this technique is 1 creature touch (Gargantuan or Smaller). Moving upward is similar to walking up a hill. The maximum upward or downward angle possible is 45 degrees. The subject can tread on air as if walking on solid ground. A strong wind can push the subject along or hold it back. This technique revolves around releasing an intense burst of pressure from their feet within an enclosed space. Depending on the situation, this technique can either be strong enough and swift enough to shatter the foundations of said enclosed space, or jettison the user through the ceiling while using Jump Good. These bursts of pressure allow the user to walk, run or jump in air. Should the Jutsu duration expire while the subject is still aloft, the Chakra fails slowly. The subject floats downward 20 meters per round for 1d6 rounds. If it reaches the ground in that amount of time, it lands safely. If not, they will fall the rest of the distance, taking 6 Armour Points of damage per 3 meters of fall. User can perform air walk on a specially trained mount so it can be ridden through the air. The user can train a mount to move with the aid of air walk 1 week of work and a Very Difficult Animal Training check.
Limit: Must know Wind Release.

A downdraft blows from the center outward in equal strength in all directions.
An updraft blows from the outer edges in toward the center in equal strength from all directions, veering upward before impinging on the eye in the center.
A rotation causes the winds to circle the center in clockwise or counterclockwise fashion.
A blast simply causes the winds to blow in one direction across the entire area from one side to the other.


The user can chose to increase or decrease the strength of the wind by 1 category every 2 Class Levels per Round.
Limit: Must know Wind Release.

Aranea was greeted by a familiar sight as she returned a wave and smile she would need to watch herself as preformed a set of seals. Harnessing the wind chakra in her body she released it to command the cold currents around bending them to her will. It was almost second nature at this point in time and her wind nature grew stronger by the day. She focused on her feet building up a large burst of air pressure.

It was taking a quite deal of mental effort to hold up the distortion however so she released the technique with a quick breath. And much of the same she started up the seals for the technique once more. She just did exactly the same and had pushed the chakra out in to the air around her. She focused directly on her feet taking a deep breath. She sqaut down preparing herself for the outcome.The ground started to rumble slightly as rings of air were being drawn in to her feet.

The push was very powerful now as she released the air pressure and burst through the air at a 45 degree angle. She flew like a bullet with her sword still in her hand. As she laughed in excitement. The rest of her chakra was loosely around her as she used another burst after flipping to try and slow her ascent. It was slightly rough however as she started slipping somewhat through the air and hurtling back down to the ground. She might actually die she figured for a moment losing control like she did.
