Tessen Panpan [Fan Slap]
Rank: D
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A painful fan strike.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: Whether with an iron or paper fan this is an effective yet simple move. The user will take the closed or open fan and simply slap a part of the opponent’s body. This is highly effective on joints, ears, or the bridge of the nose. The bridge of the nose should be hit with the sides of the fan, while the other strikes should be applied with the wider portion of the fan.
Limit: Must be a follower of Tessen-Jutsu. Must know a fan stance.

Yukita filled her lungs with the chilly winter air as she watched the sun slowly climb over the horizon. The lower temperatures filled her with a kind of excited energy and her breath emerged as a stream a mist as she released it. The inch of snow left after last night's flurries, crunched satisfyingly under Yuki's feet as she walked through a field in the park. A light breeze played with the wavy locks of red hair that flowed down her back, and seeped under her cloak, nipping at her bare legs. Goosebumps formed and Yuki shivered, feeling another surge of the strange energy. A small smile formed on her face as she stopped in the middle of the field. She took one last breath before letting the cloak fall to the ground. Her breath fled in a gasp that fogged the bottom of her glasses as the cold air enveloped Yuki in it's full embrace.

Without the encumbrance of the cloak, Yuki was allowed her full range of motion. She stretched out her arms, as her thoughts focused on the Tessen scrolls she had studied at the dojo. Her near perfect memory showed her the demonstration the more advanced students gave. Yukita bent forward, reaching down to touch her toes. She inhaled through her nose as she brought herself up to her full height. Her face settled into an expression of complete serenity, as Yuki's dominant hand made it's way to her right hip, where the Sushken was attached to her belt. Another jet of mist escaped her lips, as the fan was pulled free from it's holster.

Another inhalation marked Yuki's sudden stance change. Her shoes left trails in the snow as her footing shifts. Legs shoulder width apart, with her left slightly ahead, she readied in a fighting posture. Her right had extended straight out, holding the closed fan like an accusing finger. Suddenly she lunged forward, striking with her fan like she saw in the dojo. The side of her weapon coming into contact with an imaginary opponents left elbow. She went low next, moving with confident grace. Yuki's fan stuck her foes's right knee, before moving up. She ended with her right leg forward, the hard metal edge of her fan coming straight down where her enemy's nose would be. Yuki paused in that position, releasing her breath to create another storm of mist.

Ice Release Skill
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A prerequisite technique that allows the user to perform Ice Release techniques.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: This technique does not count against the user's Release Training Points. Ice release allows the user to freely create and manipulate ice by simultaneously combining Wind, and Water-based Chakra. Depending on the user, Ice Release can be extremely resistant to fire-based attacks, only melting slightly when coming into contact with flames. Additionally, any nearby water is an advantage, as the user can simply freeze that water to create ice. Any Save Difficulty mentioned in a technique, whether Fortitude or Will is based off of 10 + 2 per Class Level + Impeccable Will. Some Ice Release techniques need pre-existing ice, snow, or water nearby in order to be used. Techniques that require a small source of snow or ice nearby is measured between 1.5 to 6 cubic meters. Medium is measured between 6 to 30 cubic meters. Large is measured between 30 cubic meters to 350 cubic meters. Huge is measured between 350 cubic meters to 1,500 cubic meters. Colossal is measured by anything more than 1,500 cubic meters.
Limit: Must know Water Release Skill. Must know Wind Release Skill.

Giving a satisfied nod, with her strikes, Yukita settled back into an upright stance. Her feet came together, as her hands formed a seal. The freezing air ran through Yuki's nose and into her lungs, she was energized by it's icy energy. This was the perfect environment to bring her wind and water chakra together. She stood perfectly still, letting the frigid environment leak under her insufficient shirt and skirt. Another satisfying shudder ran through her body as Yuki's breath swirled around her head. Holding onto that feeling of cold, she focused her elemental chakra in her arms, wind in her right, water in the left.

As she brought both of the raw energies to her hands, Yuki focused on the snow around her. "Another breath, feel the ice in the air." She thinks to herself as another wave of the frosted wind entered her lungs. She feels herself move one step closer to the frozen water at her feet. Yukita takes a moment to pause, feeling the energy running through her hands to every ice crystal nearby. She could feel the excitement of every water molecule, held in place by the restrictive grip of cold.

Yuki released her charkra with her breath, connecting it to the hundreds of tiny ice particles she felt. They leaped into the air, swirling around her in a kaleidoscopic show. Sunlight flowed through the tiny prisms and split into a colorful aura that enveloped Yukita. Her right foot moved out, dragging along the ground as she spun counterclockwise. The snow followed her movements and danced around her in mesmerizing patterns.

Oh how he hated the cold. Despising each and every particle that fell from the heavens. Frigid breathing could easily be seen from Rael's puffing mouth, hands rubbing against arms in order to provide friction. It was one of the rare occasions that Kohona allows snow. And he was in it. He was itching for something to do. Something fun. It was early in the morning, the sun hitting the crystals of snow perfectly to refract it's blinding light. The frost covered trees were always vast allowing coverage to its shinobi, a clearing located here or there.

Rael stopped his movements and contorted his body to the shape of the closet tree and hid behind it. He had heard something, or rather someone. Within twenty or so meters was a vibrant bob of reddish orange hued hair, reflecting light from not just the sun, but the refracting rays from the snow and ice around her. Rael noticed she was using handseals to manipulate the ice around her, allowing a dazzling display of elemental manipulation on its basic level. She seemed young, almost to young. But age never stopped him. A grin manifested on devilish, pale lips. Rael, himself, began to form handseals of his own, forcing his chakra into the awaiting environment.

This was something Rael wanted to try. To manipulate the environment on a larger scale than just an individual. All the shadows within a 80 meter radius of Rael, covering the unknown girl as well, began to wither and silently shriek. They were hungry. They wanted to be fed. Sinister chakra filtered through the air, allowing the shifting shadows to devour it, causing a shimmer to form around the gothic visage of Rael. The trees surrounding the clearing began to flicker and the deepening shadows began to alter and warp. It was fascinating to see the trees to bend apparent and the prismatic ice to reflect the rays of sun brighter than before.

The girl would notice that the clearing she resided in began to stretch and get longer than she remembered. Trees began to silently tilt inward, shadows also stretching into the clearing, ignoring the positioning of the sun. A caw of a nearby bird was stopped abruptly and enhanced, louder to the senses, slowly cawing again with a deeper pitch. Any Ice she would manipulate would seem to stagger and float in mid air. He called forth the awaiting shadows to meld over his skin, causing an umbral aura to waver over his form after weaving handseals. This combined with the previous illusion would cause the aura to seem deeper and darker.

It was time to introduce himself. With his typical sly grin, Rael stepped forward, allowing each step to crunch the freshly fallen snow. Each crunch echoed around in very direction. Rael himself felt disoriented walking towards the girl, feeling a tilt as if he was tilting with the trees. His gennin headband was wrapped around his waist, to at least show he was an ally.

Yukita planted her right foot in the snow, stopping her rotation. As the strange chakra washed over the area, her right hand moved to the small of her back, drawing one of her thin Bo shuriken. Left arm and leg flow forward as Yuki settles into a wide stance. The hundreds of tiny, reflective crystals hung still in the air around her, twinkling brightly in the sunlight. "Too brightly." She thought to herself. Just as the bright spots got brighter the dark spots got darker and began to dance to a silent, yet sister music.

She looked farther out and Yukita felt her stomach drop as the edges of the clearing seemed to retreat just as the trees tops pushed towards her, trying to close her in. Another breath of the air, chilled even further by Yuki's own ice chakra, refreshed her mind. She scanned around her, seeing the way her frozen crystals shivered in the strange effect. No enemy was immediately apparent but she soon heard the distorted but unmistakable cadence of feet crushing fresh snow.

The frigid gems of water began spinning around, faster than before, as Yukita swirled to face the newcomer. She had to blink hard at the dark shadows that enveloped him, but she did note the Leaf band he wore. Her right hand slowly returned the shuriken to it's pouch as her icy aura calmed to pleasantly drifting flurries, which gave Yuki the appearance of standing in a snow globe. She brought her feet together and faced straight towards the mysterious visitor. Her hands came together, and a small smile formed on her face.

"I'm Yukita Tonku, a newly graduated Genin. May I ask your name?" She raised an eyebrow as she inquired. While acting polite, it was clear that Yuki was still on guard. Her eyes noted every detail of his person, committing them to her vast memory.

"Dear me, aren't you a little to young to be out here alone? Who know what dangers lurk around each corner." This was the first words he spoke, all said with a coy smirk. He swept back his dark hair to show the vibrant amber eyes that were oh so mesmerizing. In this twisted clearing, his amber eyes glowed brilliantly, his grin seemed longer, stretching further up his pale aristocratic features. He said these words to mock her and see how she'd react. After all, she has to be tough given her headband. He ignored the slow motioned grab for her weapon, which would have been odd if he didn't know he was also under the illusion.


The fiery red head's hair seemed to ignite with vibrant reds, when the rays of light hit her locks.  The smile, one he knew is in good faith, was also distorted. Instead of the normal length, it was cut short, barely noticing its there. "Well, Ms. Tonku. My name is Rael, of the Nara Clan. Pleasure." He wasn't sure if that was true anymore after his memories were healed. "But, I must recant, one shouldn't be out alone. There are many things that go bump in the night." Rael chuckled, knowing full well that he was that bump. The chuckle got hitched and reverberated around the clearing, as if the small verbal gesture was everywhere. To make his point across, he did what the girl was doing with the ice. Basic manipulation, but with his phantasms. 

He sent his vile chakra into Yukita, guiding the thought of 'fear' into her brain. Within this altered reality, both Rael and Yukita would see a shade of something that spoke fear to her. This phantasm would not move, nor make any actions except hovering a few meters between them. With each passing second, the warped shimmering light expanded further from the two, now covering about 100 meters from where Rael stood.

"I'm glad to make you acquaintance Rael of Nara." Yukita said as she pushed her glasses up her small nose. "But I don't think there's anything to worry..." She stopped suddenly as she felt the sinister chakra attack her. A sharp gasp of mist escaped her lips as the wave of fear washed over her. Yuki looked up to see the phantasm that materialized and took a step back, her hand moving to the Sushken on her hip. 'Pause, take a breath' she thinks to herself, and another rush of cold fills her body. The snow stood still in the air around her as she calmed herself.

Her palms moved together again, forming a handseal as she concentrated on her flow of chakra. Yukita reached out along her connections to the ice around her, pulling more into the air. "I've studied much about Genjutsu in the academy." The large amount of snow began to swirl around her, slowly gaining speed. "But I can see you're much further along than me." The water crystals jumped up, launching from behind Yuki and over her head in an arc. The cloud of ice flowed into the top of the phantasm in a long stream.

As it neared, the bright light caught the tiny icy prisms and split into a kaleidoscopic display. Scraps of color danced around the clearing as the ice moved downwards. These miniature rainbows mixed with the warping effects of Rael's other jutsu and blended into an almost hypnotic array. The snow burst in all directions as it made contact with the ground and came to a rest. Yukita relaxed her body a bit as she released her control of the ice chakra.

Rael began to clap, but his movement slowed down in slow motion before his hands clapped together. A lone sound resonated loudly from the action before the pace of the clapping returned to normal. "Bravo, bravo, little one. Fascinating display of control. Rather unique warping from my own technique. I was unaware what It did would do." The array of colors that formed the rainbows were bold and filtered all around. "The element of Ice tends to correlate with vanity, are you trying to impress someone, hmm?" His tone was still teasing in nature. He still felt a drain of his chakra still taking effect. The warping was still stretching and altering its path.  

There was a sudden gust of wind that moaned through the clearing, whipping up clouds of the freshly fallen snow. The sound of the wind lingered longer, echoing and moaning in different volumes before falling silent. The rays of light shimmered through still clouds of ice, creating a dazzling display of crystalline beauty around them. The umbral aura that clung to his skin melded with the surrounding snow, causing the pure white to turn tainted with black energy, reflecting a dark purple hue of light to mix with the already present array of rainbows. A clash between the shifting energies. 

"So you are familiar with the illusions as well? Perhaps we can collaborate with one another." After all, he would need a willing participant to be subjected to his own cruelty. Civilians could only handle so much. "But I am more familiar with the shadows and phantasms that haunts the minds." Yukita began to stretch further away from his being the more time he stood still talking. Taking a single step forward caused the image of the girl to spring back to the original position he saw her in before. "But what is interesting is that I saw the phantom that came out of you. Normally the caster can only see faint outlines that are far to hazy to map out." His eyes bulged out a bit, the warping and twisting causing them to look even more manic than usual.

"It's always interesting to see the fears that people hold close to them." A soft chuckle could be heard coming from the darkened man. Slowly walking around the girl, examining her, he spoke up again. "You struck down the image before I could observe it fully. What did you see in the phantom?"

Yukita looked down at the glistening snow as her mind turned to the darker emotions. She thought about how he must of died bleeding and alone. About how his bones surely were left to rot, without proper burial. "Shikanu…" It was the only reply she could manage for a moment and it emerged in a choked whisper. Her worst fear had already been realized before she had known what they were. Despite her mane of orange covering most of her face a tear could be seen rolling down her cheek.

Memories of Shikanu's death also made her remember her promise to herself. "No one else." Yukita says quietly. Her hands come together to start forming handseals. As her emerald eyes finally came up to meet Rael's amber ones, the fire of anger was obvious in her face. Yuki finished her seals and crouched low, her left leg out to the side. As her dark blue nails dig into the compacted snow between her feet, she releases her chakra into the ice. "I'll be strong enough to protect all my friends." She growled in a low tone.

She wasn't really thinking as her angry mind fell into the ice forms she had studied. The frozen top layer rose as Yukita pulled it off the ground, revealing the dead vegetation and frigid dirt beneath. With a groan of effort she flicked the snowy layer like one might straighten a tablecloth, and a wave flowed through the ice right at Rael. It was just tall enough to knock him to his feet if it hit.

Create Ice
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a small patch of ice to be treated as rough terrain.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: Range of this technique is 7 meters + 6 meters per Class Level. Duration of this technique is instantaneous. Effects one 2-meter square area. This Jutsu generates a sheet of clear, pure ice. Enough ice is generated to cover one 2-meters square, which is treated as difficult terrain. This ice melts after 1 hour (the ice melts into roughly 16 gallons of water, weighing 120 lbs), or 10 minutes in hot terrain.
Limit: Must know Ice Release.

Yukita used the momentary distraction of rushing snow to disengage from Rael. She snatched up her cloak from the ground as she made haste in the opposite direction, falling back to a patch of trees. She continued to run, letting the frosty air pull away her worries as it streamed over her bare skin. When Yuki finally stopped the cold seemed to bite her more harshly and she whipped the tan cloak around her shoulders. Crunches marked her footfalls as she trudged over to a large tree. Yuki placed her palms against the trunk as she looked up at the barren branches fracturing the sky into shattered pieces.

As her breath slowly returned to normal, Yukita focused chakra into her hands. "You didn't die for nothing, Shikanu." She reminded herself. Away from the heat of the conflict, she felt the dagger of pain in her heart as she thought of her first sensei. The frozen air rushed into her lungs as Yuki took a calming a breath. "This isn't what he would want." She released her fear and anger to the numbing air. "I have to be better..." She gritted her teeth as she focused her mind back to the ice release teachings.

Both right and left hand came together as Yuki formed handseals. Yukita's eyes watched her dark blue fingernails as they weaved the intricate signs. "Collect your thoughts, wield your power, feel it rush through you." She slammed her palms against the rough bark of the tree and released her ice chakra. A layer of ice wrapped, and crawled up the trunk. A creaking noise ran along the length of the frozen scar as the rapidly expanding water forced apart the wood.

Yukita released her breath as her gaze fell upon the frozen scar that split the trunk of the tree. She took a half-step back as she observed the damage she wrought. "This isn't right." She said to herself.

She looked down at her hands with a tinge of guilt, as she registered the damaged she did to the tree. She placed her right palm against the trunk again. "I'm sorry." The simple apology passed her lips as she looked up at the arching branches.

An icy breath ran into her lungs as she calmed herself down. When she turned her thoughts back to her Tessen training, her right hand made it's way to the holster on her hip. Yukita drew the Sushken from her belt and turned around with her eyes closed. A nonexistent opponent materialized in front of her as she settled into her stance. Her right foot planted forward as she held out the closed fan in front of her body.

Just before her faux opponent lunged she flicked open the fan with practiced precision and flashed it in their face. As she did so, Yukita dipped her body low and to the right, letting the blow flow harmlessly over her head. When the attack rushed passed her, she brought the side of the Sushken up at her foes face with a focused force. A confident smile returned to her lips.

There was a slight whisper from the girl before him. A name that he couldn't quite make out. Handseals began to form slowly but the reaction in this world was different. Rael saw but couldn't react. He didn't expect to hit a nerve so soon in a ninja. He saw the glistening sun that intensified with the illusion reality. The sky began to zone together in a spiral, with the sun being a focal point. Laughter escaped the pale think lips of Rael as a predatory grin surfaced once more. Still enthralled by the spiraling sky he spoke up. " My my! What a firey temper! The red hair of yours isn't just looks! But future warning, one needs to be more composed." Rael slowly got up from his phone form and brushed off the debris.

Watching the tempered red head go through stances and basic techniques was different. His eyes saw double of her speeding up, slowing down and the ice sparkling and refracting with luminosity. "Fascinating and bravo! But let me teach you a lesson. Especially since you taught me one just now." Rael went through his own handseals and spread his chakra out into this new reality. The towering trees that seemed to loom over the clearing absorbed the chakra and they began to extend out slowly but zoomed towards the girl with speed and attempted to pin her down from all angles. If she tried to escape, he called on more of the trees to extend and try to pin her down. From an outside view one would assume he was bending and altering the trees. Bit it was a vicious demonic illusion that would only paralyze the for.

"So now tell me why you attacked me so? It was only a harmless illusion. You said you were versed in the illusion arts. Break free from this demonic illusion. Let me test your mettle!" If she were still not captured by the onslaught of wooden pillars, he would do something a bit more vicious. Handseals were weaved with haste, transferring the phantasmal energy into the awaiting ground. Pillars of ground and ice aimed to Pierce the red head like a human porcupine.
