Training for stuff...

[Hmph]

Natsumi thought about which technique she would learn next. She thought it would be useful to learn yet another lightning based jutsu, since, being a cloud village nin she did not have many in her arsenal. It didn't take her that long to come to a decision, she had one in mind, something that someone had used a variation of against her.

Vortex's Sphere (Advance)
Rank: B Rank
Skill: Nin
Effect: The user makes a sphere of lightning in between their hand's. The user cause the sphere of lightning to explode causing a sphere that is 10 meter's tall and 8 meter's wide. When the opponent hits the lightning sphere around the user they shocked and then blasted back.
Special: Hand Seals: (Dragon, Ram, Rabbit, Horse, Ox, Dragon, Snake, Ram, Rat) then can be thrown.
Drawback: None
Description: Keeping their hands apart just a bit keeping their fingers curled a bit as the lightning start's to shoot out their fingers and start to form the sphere in between their hand's. The sphere starts to grow into about the size of a tennis ball. The user then can use the Raiton - Raikyuu (Lightning Ball) to throw the sphere at the opponent then clenching their hand into a fist the ball then explodes, causing the opponent to be shocked and thrown back.
Limit: Lightning Release Skill (Raiton no Jutsu) and must know the Raiton - Raikyuu (Lightning Ball)

She began immediately, wasting no time at all. She started by attempting to begin the hand seals that were needed for the technique. Only six hand seals, consisting of the signs Dragon. Ram. Rabbit. Horse. Ox. Dragon. Snake. Ram. Rat. Her hands came together to form the seals as she stood in the middle of the forest like area, thinking about how it would work.

She felt the flow of her chakra change, become redirected towards her hands as she began the jutsu. She started the next step by creating the lightning, something she already knew how to do. She did it quickly, making a small ball of electricity in between her hands, the same way she would do it if she was doing lightning ball technique but only using two hands instead of one. That was the easy part, next she would have to make it expand into a sphere that had to have enough power blast her opponents away. She worked on making the ball of electricity grow, concentrating her chakra into the jutsu to increase the size of the lightning ball. The more energy she put into the jutsu. After a while of making the ball grow in her hands, she found that the only thing she was doing was creating an oversized lightning ball. Moments later she found herself struggling with a ball of lightning that was about the size of a beach ball. She tossed it, and it simply hit the ground with a crackle and dissipated into the air. Making a ball of lighting grow wasn't a the main idea about the jutsu, since if she continued doing it that way she'd only end up holding a giant ball of lighting. She had to find a way to make it expand and then to make it explode on command. She took a moment to think about it again wondering how the jutsu would look and how it would be completed. Instead of making the small lightning ball increase in size it would have to be sort of expanded, and then made to explode.

Natsumi proceeded to re-start the technique after the hand seals she created the small ball of lightning between her hands. She watched as the ball grew, getting closer and closer to touching her palms, she moved her hands away from it giving it space to grow. When the ball of electricity was a fair size she tried to move the chakra around the outside of it to cause a reaction and hopefully make it pop. By compressing the ball and using her chakra to push the ball inward on itself she managed to creating the small explosion. It had took a while at first, and she was beginning to think that it wasn't going to work, until she created a small blast, one that sent the electricity back onto her hands, giving her a small shock but nothing that she couldn't shake off. She continued starting the jutsu again beginning with the dragon hand seal and ending with the rat. A spark was made and grew into the ball of lightning. She focused her chakra at the center of the ball, wondering if there was any other way to make it explode without hurting her. At first she was afraid to make a large explosion of it. She thought that if she made it too big that it would just explode in her face, something that she truly did not want to happen. Yet she tried anyway...Focusing more of her chakra into the vortex of the lightning ball, making it almost flare up and explode. It took her back, she winced a little at the miniscule explosion and began to shake the stinging feeling from her hands, which didn't take more than five seconds since the explosion was small and the feeling wore away in practically no time.

So she tried yet again, starting the jutsu with the Dragon hand seal and moving on to ram, rabbit, horse, ox, snake, ram, and ending it off with the rat. Despite the fact that at her previous attempts the ball of electricity exploded on her she tried anyway focusing more of her chakra into the vortex of the lightning ball making it almost flare up and explode. She hissed getting impatient as she decided to choose another method of making the lightning ball expand and pop. She decided that she was going to try to do it again, she would still make it so that it would explode, but the only difference would be that she would throw it before it would pop. And hopefully this way she would be saved from the potential blast.

Natsumi held her hands apart slightly as she created the ball of lightening between her hands. It had a soft yellowish glow to it and was a bit larger than the size of a golf ball. The ball of energy snapped and crackled in her hands while she worked at making it expand but the same thing would happen. The small ball would just explode in her hands sending a stinging sensation into her fingers. Even when she would try to throw the ball away before it would explode she still found that she couldn't. There was no other way she could make it explode without keeping it in her hands. The ball of lightning needed to be compressed in order for it to be able to pop, so she thought up a method for it to work.

She began the hand seals once again and this time she had a good idea in mind, she was going to try to throw the ball of electricity and make it pop by trying to control the chakra inside of it. Because in the end the electricity was made out of her chakra, so she figured she would still be able to control it. The spark increased into a small ball in her hand, and she quickly pushed a small amount of chakra out of her palms into the ball, and surprisingly she didn't make it pop yet that's when she tossed the ball into the air it went out with a spin and flew towards a tree, before it hit she squeezed her fingers into her palm trying to control the chakra that was in the ball of lightning while it was out of her body. She saw the ball of lighting sort of expand, but then with a hiss it dispersed itself into the wind without the tiny sign of a real explosion like she wanted to. She would have to think of another way

Natsumi thought she was on the right track with using her chakra to make the lightning ball explode although she did get a sort of a reaction before, she was sure that it wasn't being done the right way. So this time she thought she would make a layer of chakra around the lightning ball, then when it was out of her hand she would squeeze it and make it pop that way. She started up the jutsu again, keeping her fingers in a curved shape around the ball and then molding up a bit of chakra around the ball to form a small layer. The lightning ball looked the same as it did before without the layer of chakra around it since she didn't have her byakugan on to see the chakra but she still knew it was there.

She threw the small ball of lightning that was a little big larger than the size of her own fist, it cut through the air and made its way towards the target quickly, while it was still in the air she focused on closing the ball of chakra on the lightning to cause enough pressure to have it explode. To Natsumi's surprise that was just what happened as soon as she had clenched her fist the ball had imploded causing it to pop, and the girl smiled happily to herself as she prepared herself for another try at the jutsu.

Molding up a good amount of chakra in her hands Natsumi began to analyze her previous attempts at the jutsu while she began to create the ball of electrical energy between her hands. Now that she already knew how to create the explosion itself she needed to learn how to make it expand into a sphere that would have to be more than five meters tall and wide so that it may send her opponents back. The only way this would be possible was with an excessive amount of energy output. Natsumi wondered that if he put more chakra into the jutsu that if it would cause a bigger explosion, so that's what she had planned to do next. The hand seals were already completed and she pushed chakra out from her palms into the center point, and began to direct all of the chakra into the center of the vortex, the swirling mass of electrical energy was created and was probably more intense and concentrated than any other ball of electricity she had created before which is why the Hyuuga was sure that her idea would work. Again she used her chakra to compress the ball though, to make it smaller and more compact before she sent it off into the air. She created the small coating of chakra on it and with both hands she pulled back her arms and threw the ball of electricity hard and she watched as it completely missed its target and went right by the tree. As the ball of electricity was still soaring through the air Natsumi closed her hands making the layer of chakra on the lighting ball squeeze inward on itself and with a loud noise the lightning ball was compressed and created the explosion but afterward it swelled and expanded outward a few inches. The change was hardly something that could be noticed so easily but the fact that Natsumi had been paying attention to it made it easy for her to realize that her idea worked. Now all she had to do was learn how to do the same thing but at in an extremely more devastating way.

As the girl folded her hands together to form the hand seals she breathed in deeply watching as the sphere of electrical energy began to form in the middle of her palms , something she was getting used to. With every push of chakra into the jutsu she did, the orb would swell but she continued to compress it and the lightning ball crackled and for some reason sent a spark to her hand that tingled her fingers and almost forced her to pause. She felt the ball bulge and sort of pulse and that's when she had the feeling that now was the time to throw the sphere. She tossed it into the air and closed her hand into a ball. Again the explosion happened and it was almost just like last time with the only difference being that it created a bigger explosion afterward, instead of expanding to a couple of inches it swelled up to about half her arms length. The Hyuuga, not even slightly impressed with her self simply put her hands together in response to seeing her work, and began to lace her fingers in and out of the necessary hand seals.

(Kinna sort...Im feeling blah >>)

Upon finishing her hand seals Natsumi begins feeling the flow of her chakra change once she has completed them. This forced the girl to realize how quickly her chakra was draining, meaning she would have to take a break soon. Until that time though she would continue training. At this attempt at the technique she would put in most of her remaining chakra, to ensure that the explosion would be as large as she wanted it to. The sphere came to form the tiny ball of electricity grew and Natsumi put in so effort and energy into it that a sweat drop began to form at her temples. She did the jutsu the same way as before, but this time she didn't cover the ball of electricity with a layer of chakra like before. She hoped that she could make it explode without the layer, because like this the time that it took to complete the jutsu would be nearly cut in half, and timing was always important in battle. Once created she focused a bit of chakra into the center of the sphere, hoping that her idea would work and that it all wouldn't end up being a waste of chakra. Then she tossed it up into the sky and not at the tree that she had been targeting for a while now. This, of coarse was a bit dangerous to her because if the explosion created a big blast she would then find herself victim to her own jutsu but she was sure that she had threw the ball high enough in the air to have herself be unaffected by it.

Natsumi looked up at the sky which seemed like a canopy of leaves since she was standing near a very large tree. The ball swirled and went up at a high speed, and once it was high enough to touch the branches of the tree Natsumi closed her hand, feeling her fingernails dig deep into her skin but not really caring much about it. The ball of electricity crumbled inward and imploded on itself before creating an explosion that expanded and blasted away many of the tree's leaves and branches, sending a couple tumbling down on the girl. She moved out of the way of the falling debris as she smiled to herself enjoying the fact that she had the right idea about the jutsu and she was finally being able to figure it out. The explosion was fairly large and had a radius of around two feet, making the whole length in total it reach be a little more than four feet. Not much compared to the many meters it was suppose to reach but still good enough to satisfy her wants now. She would only have to train on making the jutsu more intense and more powerful without wearing herself out

Some time later she found herself standing before a small body of water feeling a soft breeze on her face, the time she had taken for her small break was now over. She had been relaxing for a while now giving her body time to build up energy for the continuation of her training and she was ready to get back to work. She pressed her fingers together, in and out of the hand seals that she needed to do not the Vortex's sphere but the water clone jutsu. She wanted to test it's effectiveness out on her water replication. Although she didn't quite have all of the jutsu perfected she was still curious as to its effect on her water clones, she wanted to see the outcome of her trying the jutsu on them so that's what she did. The liquid solidified to form the figure of herself. She said nothing to the clone at all, she just quickly began the hand seals needed for Vortex's sphere. Dragon, Ram, Rabbit, Horse, Ox, Dragon, Snake, Ram, Rat. Once she was finished the sphere of lightning grew and she continued to force chakra into it. This all happened in a matter of seconds and before Natsumi noticed she was being attacked by her own water clone which she had almost completely forgot about.

The attack was aimed at her face, a palm strike that would've hit her directly in the nose if she hadn't reacted. She moved out of the way of the water clones attack as she still tried to keep her control on the electrical sphere, trying not to drop it and leave herself open for another attack by the water replication. Still somehow it managed to almost hit her, the knee of the water clone almost hit her right in the side and it would've If Natsumi didn't move. Still the Hyuuga kept her cool, moving to the side to get out of the way of the water clone, even though it followed her. Soon she felt like she couldn't continue to hold the ball without it getting away. So to avoid it exploding on her she made distance between herself and the clone and threw the sphere of electrical energy at the clone. The clone managed to completely avoid the attack, as it simply ducked out of the way of the sphere as it zoomed by. But Natsumi didn't let it get too far from the clone before she pulled her fingers to form a fist, activating the explosion that expanded and created a blast that was bigger than any other one she had did before. It had to have gone at least 2 and a half meters in diameter, and even though the water clone managed not to get hit by the sphere itself, it was still caught by the blast of the explosion. All that was left of the clone was a splash of water, and Natsumi gave a soft smirk as she contemplated her next step in learning the jutsu.

After that particular try of the jutsu Natsumi found herself feeling extremely tired and drained so she decided to take a another break. Parking herself a spot in the middle of the grass she relaxed her eyes and eventually ended up taking a small nap there. By the time she had woken up the sun was already dim and it would most likely be setting soon or in a few hours. This urged the girl to improve at the jutsu before nightfall. She began with the familiar hand seals of the vortex sphere. Immediately upon finishing the hand seals she created the sphere and forced chakra into the focus point of it. This time her main issue was timing and then it would be size. She wanted to carry out the jutsu swiftly but at the same time it wanted the explosion to be great. As she continued to quickly 'charge' the sphere of electricity with energy she pulled away one of her hands from being beside the ball and stopped her chakra flow from her fingers and palms to the ball. With her other hand she continued the energy output. Then she held her hand as far from her face as she could and snapped her fingers, she could clearly see the reaction that it had to the electrical sphere. Inside you could see how the energy twisted and swigged about and just as the girl snapped her fingers you could see how the lightning gave a quick response and moved around rapidly in the sphere. Of coarse she didn't have enough time to run from the jutsu but the point this time wasn't to run from it. She wanted to see if it was actually strong enough to blast someone away, and since it seemed to just destroy water clones on impact she thought she would just try the jutsu on herself, it only for this one time. Almost immediately after the girl had snapped her fingers she found herself being a victim of her own jutsu, and of coarse it was painful. 'Testing jutsu's on yourself isn't bad when they're D or C ranked' She thought 'But what the hell was I thinking doing this' The ball imploded and sent a blast that went outward covering three meters from around the center point. The jutsu had spread and covered and reached about nine and a half feet more or less in height and width.

Natsumi felt a strong force, like a push of wind or a strong gust but was great enough to knock anyone out of a standing position but the push was charged with electrical energy and on top of feeling of the effects of the blast itself she had to deal with the after effects which was a slight numb feeling all over her body from being a bit electrocuted. Once she was hit by the blast she tumbled back ward, falling on the ground and rolling a few meters away. She was covered up in mostly filth now, and her stockings were ripped in more places than one and on top of that she couldn't move her limbs freely for a couple of seconds. She had to wait a few minuets for the feeling to return to her fingers and limbs, and then even more for her to regain full control over them. Her right hand especially had experienced the full intensity of the blast since it was closer to it and she found that, that had was the one that still felt tense even she the effects of the jutsu had already worn off in the other hand. She kept her place on the ground for more than a half an hour before she got up and tried to shake the numb feeling from her body

Beginning the technique again she pressed her fingers together into some hand seals and decided to try what she had did before again. She wasn't going to try the jutsu on herself this time, or any other time again for that matter. She was going to test it once more on her water clones. This time it wouldn't be just one she would put the vortex sphere up against. It would be several. After she completed the first set of seals for the water clones she then she went on to completing the other hand seals for the vortex sphere, so that both jutsu's would be prepared almost at the same time. Natsumi didn't bother to look as four water clones emerged from the water, rising quickly to form an identical figure of herself. As this was happening she was kept busy by her own hands, as they were held some inches apart and she created the spark that made the ball of lightning possible. Again the ball grew, into a shape that was slightly larger than that of a tennis ball, the ball of glowing yellow in her hands didn't crackle or let out any sparks that would electrify her the ball of lightning seemed rather contained although it was clear that there was still some moment in the ball but in the end it was all just energy. The fact that the ball of electricity wasn't really stinging her anymore meant that she was truly getting a hang of the jutsu. Even while thinking all of his and observing the electricity Natsumi was well aware of the water clones actions and movements. All four of them were fully created by now but Natsumi wasn't sure if she had put enough chakra into the jutsu to have it create as an impressive blast as she wanted. So with one quick burst of chakra into the jutsu she tried to make the lightning compact, while trying to avoid it exploding right on the spot. After putting her chakra into it she thought she was as ready as she would ever be. Soon she'd have all four of her clones attacking her at once. Before it was easy to avoid her water clone while holding the sphere since it was just a single clone she was against but this time she wasn't so sure she could handle the ball and all four clones at the same time. She was sure that something would go wrong and it would just explode on her.

So with that the Hyuuga took a step forward. The action seemed to have thrown some of the clones off and made two of them pause for a brief second. All of the clones were positioned relatively close to each other, although they all weren't in the same spot, the girl was sure that if the vortex sphere was strong enough that it would make a explosion big enough to destroy all of the clones even if they weren't together. Each clone was about two feet away from each other. One stood slightly in front of the rest, it was directly in front of Natsumi and was going to attack at any moment. Another was almost directly behind, but still a few feet away. The other two was on either side of the first, and all of the clones in the end had formed a diamonded shape together. Natsumi tried to think of a way to throw the ball of lighting in the middle of all the clones so that it would explode outward and hopefully destroy them all, but since one of the clones was in front of her and almost close enough to hit her now she had to think quickly, creating the explosion now would mean that she would definitely have to get caught in it as well. She hadn't calculated the time correctly and her movements either, and now almost all three clones were upon her. Natsumi of coarse had already began to retreat, taking as many back steps as possible to make distance enough to activate the jutsu and the water clones as expected would let her get to far away.

[Hmph]

(yuh I know it sux w.e >>)

The Hyuuga, having almost no other choice in the matter decided to finally activate the jutsu even at the risk of getting hurt by it herself. It had gotten to the point that she couldn't avoid finishing the jutsu and she just had to throw the ball already so she did. Natsumi aimed the sphere, not at the closest water clone to her but the farthest. The ball went quickly by the face of one of the clones as it turned quickly to see where the ball was headed. The other clones seemed to have turned to look as well being temporarily compelled by curiosity to see the effects of the new jutsu. Natsumi stood her ground as well and watched, as she closed her fingers into her hand, pressing her hand tightly into a fist and activating the vortex sphere which in a snap created a large enough of a explosion to destroy all four of the water clones and give her a taste of the after shock. She wasn't close enough to have been blasted away by the jutsu but she did feel some of the electricity that came with it. The explosion had made a well sized blast, one that happened to be taller this time than it was wide. At a little less than four meters wide and almost five meters tall Natsumi thought she had done a pretty acceptable job and while sighing lightly to herself she thought about how she would train the jutsu next.

She attempted to meditate for a while, or in her case just relax and try to concentrate of putting all her effort into it for her next try. She looked from the water and back to the land as she came up with what she thought was a good idea to try next. The girl pulled herself up to her feet, standing about fifteen feet away from the river and she began to complete hand seals. These hand seals would be a much longer combination than all of the rest but still completing such a long string of hand seals was easy for the girl since she had trained herself into completing them quickly. While the hand signs were being done a figure rose from the water. It was much larger than any water clone would or could ever be. The water began to form the shape of a water dragon and Natsumi looked up at it as she watched the next thing she would test her jutsu against come to form.

Once finished with the first set of hand seals she started with the other, she didn't move from her spot, even when the water dragon was finished she just continued her work at the vortex sphere. By the time the dragon was formed she had already created the small ball of lightning, and she began charging it up. The water dragon was finished and ready in no time at all, but Natsumi kept her focused fixed on the electricity she held. She didn't give the water dragon any orders at all for it to start heading towards her, it would attack on command and stop when she wanted it to, but the point of the training was for her to stop it with another jutsu and not with an order. The wind blew harshly against the girls face for a moment, but she couldn't brush the hair from her eye's since her hands were preoccupied with the electrical sphere. As the air blew by her the water dragon began its move, it slithered and raised its head into the air, opening the mouth widely. Natsumi glanced upwards enjoying the stillness of the air for the time when the wind stopped blowing and then she began to back away slowly, keeping her eyes on the water dragon as she continued to put energy into the sphere. She noticed that it wasn't taking as long as before for her to complete the jutsu, but before she could notice anything further about her progress the water dragon made a fast swoop towards her, and she nearly tripped out of the way of it just in time. The girl took refuge behind a tree, she left like she had put enough chakra into the jutsu already the ball was ready to be thrown, she would just need to keep it in her hands long enough to actually though it. If the water dragon startled in anyway into dropping it the whole attempt would be ruined so Natsumi prepared to step out from behind the tree when the water dragon appeared again, coming around quickly from behind the tree, this she hadn't expected at all and although the water dragon didn't hit her, she had made such a large attempt at not getting attacked that she was forced to let go of the ball and she fell on her back to the floor and heard nothing but the explosion and the splash of water everywhere. She was not able to see the size of the blast this time but she was sure that even though she was completely exhausted, that she would try the jutsu again. And this time she had the strange feeling that It would all work out.

Despite her greatest efforts Natsumi later found that she simply didn't have enough energy to continue training at the pace that she was doing, so she ended up finding a spot under a tree to rest. She woke up the next morning bright and early feeling as ready as ever to start her training again. So once more she restarted her attempt at what she did before, making her water dragon jutsu go against her vortex sphere. In her previous try at the jutsu, Natsumi didn't put nearly as much chakra into the water dragon as she did the vortex's sphere, as the point was to destroy the water dragon before it made her drop the ball of have it explode on herself, and even though she didn't feel the bast of the jutsu last time, her previous attempt was almost a complete failure except for the fact that it succeeded in destroying the water dragon. But other than that she couldn't get anything out of that last try, she hadn't seen the blast so she didn't know what size it is, making it so she didn't know how powerful the jutsu had become but now that Natsumi had a fresh start she knew that she could probably get the results that she wanted out of this try. The long string of hand seals was started, and since Natsumi had slept well near the water she didn't have to walk far in order to be directly in front of the river when she was doing the jutsu. The liquid rose and took shape, This time it was much later than before, much larger than the range that the vortex sphere would ever go.

Natsumi had stalled herself into making the vortex sphere for a while into the water dragon was almost completely finished in its figure. She did the hand seals for the vortex's sphere faster than she ever had before and she felt the flow of chakra move to her palms, as she usually. As soon as she was done, a ball of lightning appeared between her hands. This surprised her, since she had expected a spark to be created just like before and not for the ball to have appeared as quickly as it did. Once the ball was there it didn't take long for her to charge the orb with chakra, she didn't really have to increase the size of it because as soon as it was created it was about the size it needed to be. The water dragon decided to surprise her with another sneak attack, just as it did before when she was hiding behind the tree. It didn't take the time to position itself for a attack. As soon as it was created it sort of leaped at the girl, jaws ready to snap down on her if it caught her between them. But Natsumi was ready for this attack and managed to miss it as she threw the ball into the direction of the water dragon and closed her hands into a tight fist, activating the explosion that she hoped would be large enough to turn the dragon back into its liquid form.

Natsumi knew that even if the sphere had missed the dragon, that if it was caught within the range of the explosion that it would be destroyed so it didn't worry her much when she saw that the ball had missed. What did worry her was when she saw that not only did she miss the water dragon with the ball, but that it also seemed to have avoided the explosion as well. The water dragon had wiggled out of the way of the ball as it went past it. Then the water dragon went towards her with another sweeping blow, and propelled itself fast enough to avoid the whole explosion. Natsumi didn't try a educated guess at the size of the other explosion, since as soon as she was done seeing that it missed, she immediately turned on her heals and began running as she did her hand seals for another try at the vortex's sphere. Again the ball was formed quickly instead of a spark. She found it hard to keep the ball from touching her hands as she ran, it sent sparks to her fingers again as she pulled herself behind a tree and kept running, making a U-turn back into the direction of the water to hopefully confuse the water dragon. But it knew where she was and had never fallen to far behind, and her feet didn't carry her along fast enough for her to be able to escape its attacks for long. Now it was like her tail, and it wasn't going away anytime soon unless she did something.

Natsumi made an abrupt stop and uncovered her location as she went out into the opened and tried another time at the jutsu. Now the Hyuuga was out of breathe and she felt almost like the day she did before when she didn't have much chakra left. If she missed this time she knew she would probably have only enough chakra for one more attempt at the vortex's sphere. After that she'd be forced to face her water dragon without the B-ranked jutsu or she would just have to stop it some other way. She pulled her arms back, as she got ready to put as much power into her throw as she could and she flung the lightning ball, as if she was a pitcher and aimed it directly at under the belly of the dragon. Again, the serpent like dragon managed to slither out of the way of the ball, and it went low to the ground and headed for her again, gliding along the ground quickly looking like it was going to swallow her whole, but the girl had closed her left hand quickly, and put her right hand protectively in front of her face just it case it all went wrong and she was attacked by it. Instead of looking at the dragon which was attacking her she kept her white eyes fixed on where the explosion would be, and when it happened she realized just how close to the jutsu she actually was, almost close enough to get blasted away by it. With a large boom the ball and exploded and burst outwards, catching the lower portion of the water dragon in its blast and also sending a small wave of electricity her way, which with the water that now covered her body from the water dragon, gave her a shock that was way stronger than it would've been if she hadn't have been wet. The vortex sphere exploded into the perfect size, the size she had expected it to be once she had perfected the jutsu. 10 meters tall and eight wide, which was luckily for her large enough to have blasted the water dragon back into water. It had took a while for the stinging pain from the jutsu to wear off.

Once it was done Natsumi decided to just do the jutsu one last time before she went traveling. She smiled to herself as she wondered if she clear a path for herself by using it. At first she made her way back to the ferry that would take her to cloud, walking through the woods was kind of boring, and she hadn't decided yet where she'd make this 'path' she wanted to make for herself, that is until she saw a squirrel that was menacingly nibbling on a nut. Aside from the fact that she didn't really like wild animals at all, and the fact that she was almost starving and watching the animal eat was kind of annoying her, she quietly began her hand seals as she kept an eye on the animal who didn't seem to have noticed her yet. Once she was finished she made the sphere and threw it swiftly into the direction of the squirrel who hadn't noticed anything at all until the explosion came about.
