The vast oceans of sand's said name of favored description was now... boring, to say the least, to the child's youthful, creative mind. She knew that now was the time to not only broaden her horizons, but to put her "potential" to the true test of what had come to be known to her knowledge as the Chuunin Exams. An obstacle that had yet to be rounded, the genin would not be cursed with the short end of the stick this time; her prowess was just as godlike as she had intended it to be from the very beginning.

Her trek leading her to the border of her adoptive home, of the barren wasteland who's endless dunes of individual grains of salt had not neglected to smuggle there way in through the healer's elegant silken tresses of obsidian shadows, tainting them with a slightly decreased edge to her vanity. She hailed a sand ridden ship at the dried and miserable port, the harsh winds already pulling the sails out to sea. The child did not even bother to call for wait; rather, she simply hopped aboard, the term never having been so literal.

Having never traveled by sea before, the apprentice was happy to realize that she had been blessed with an immune system that denied even sea sickness. Or, just by coincidence, it would be her prowess paired with the status as one of the most esteemed medical kunoichi of the realm that had influenced such amazing health of the adolescent. For indeed, she wasn't like normal teens; she at her vegetables without being asked. They were approaching land now, the ship's swaying finally piercing through the child's silent speculations.

"Here we are," she breathed, already taking her leave.

SPOILER: Click to show

Leviathan's Kiss.
Rank: B.
Skill: Medical Ninjutsu.
Effect: Using her superior intelligence and knowledge of the human body, along with her affinity for water, Michiru has developed a way to "snatch" 10% of the water out of her opponents body. This may sound harmless enough but the various things that happen because of this can spell instant defeat for even the most formidable shinobi. The very first thing that happens is immediate dehydration symptoms which include thirst and discomfort, dry skin, low endurance, rapid heart rates, elevated body temperatures and rapid onset of fatigue. Unexplained tiredness, headaches, dry mouth and dizziness when standing due to orthostatic hypotension also occur. If the shinobi is already tired the effects may become even more extreme and cause calamities such as muscles becoming spastic, skin shriveling and wrinkling, vision dimming and even delirium. This technique also reduces the opponent's overall speed by 50%.
Special: None.
Drawback: Has a short range of 0 - 5m. Cannot be used more than once on an opponent already under the jutsu's effects. Must be able to visibly see the opponent.
Description: The users fist glows with a soft, beautiful blue aura as they prepare to execute the technique. Once the opponent is within range the user then violently "snatches" their fist back, instantly draining 10% of the water out of the opponents body.
Limit: Limited to Medical Ninja. Must have the Water release. Must be taught by Michiru.

To say the least, she'd practiced this art of vanity too many times. To such a godlike degree, that in crafting such a creature yet again, she was only furthering the sheer impossible idea that this artistic blessing grow ever more creative; and utterly disastrous. True, while this new performance wasn't about to to annhiliate the creator's very subordinates and nurturing terrain, it would cause untold havoc within a harraser's sadistic presence, and his very core, as well.

Whoever the hell this "Leviathan" boy was, the apprentice dared not trace a thought that suggested she didn't want to be cursed with the knowledge of his history. For indeed, so many creations of her mistress centered around such a name... apparantly the status was of great power of the fiercest brutality. Yet in doing so, the noble heiress had fallen subject to this gift of this imagination, feeding off of it as if a parasite hungering for nothing but a child's willingness to dream... such dreams are of light.

And of the deepest oceans and their shackles that is the vast quantity named an abyss. Ah, she thought, holding herself in a pose that suggested her naturally slender physique had been sculpted by the gods, themselves. These toned muscles, paired with her more than ideal feminine curves and gorgeous essence granted passerby the oppurtunity to chain her in shackles to the golden throne of a goddess, deeming her more than what she seemed to the simple minded: a mere child.

The scent of Sea's surrounding oceans drove her nerves ecstatic; refreshed with the natural aromas of Earth's waters, but sick with the longing for less salty plague, one that accurately resembled the fresh cascading waterfalls of her home country. The sounds corrupt me, however, she continued, water having been flowing through her mind as if a constant stream of nostalgia. This was her affinity, her birthright as a kunoichi of Takigakure. A delicate smile graced her full lips.

Oh, yet it does not long for me as I long for it... This truth was known to only she, and her entire home village as a whole. She could never go back to a place where the mere sight of an emerald dragonfly would send a nearby ANBU soaring to his Kage. If I can imagine the waters of my homeland to this... sensitivity of the mind, than perhaps I can bring it to me upon a whim... Akemi was of course the daughter of the goddess, and capable of almost anything according to her limited calibur; perhaps, she just might.
