Ryu entered the area with flowers in hand, and placed them on a bench beside her cottage. She then walked farther into the grassy area and turned, waiting for her newest acquaintance, Sachi, to appear. This was assuming he had followed her, of course.

She looked to her left for a moment. Atlas was in a building beside her. She wondered when he would wake up.

[sachii]

He whistled as he casually walked behind her in a nonchalant manner. Hands were tucked into the pockets of his large, flowered robe and head kept turning in all directions as he inspected her property.

"Lovely place you have here.."

He stopped when she had and stretched his arms out above him - he was wondering what kind of training she wanted to work on. It didn't really matter to him, anything that would make her happier. Although he was hoping he wouldn't embarrass himself.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

"Thanks. I like to bring nature home with me."

She looked around at the area. It really was pretty. A pond was about 5 meters away, full of pretty fish and water plants. Surrounding her yard were tall, wild bushes that served as beauty and privacy. The tree growing in the middle of her house was lovely as well, and made for a nice effect from the outside. The grass was lush and somewhat tall, better for laying in since it was soft and layered.

"I'm ready now, actually."

She smiled, and with a glance, she decided on a technique she wanted to train today. The pond was in close enough proximity, and she performed handseals and sent her chakra through the ground. With each handseal, the chakra flowed to a different part. Her body, her legs, her feet, the ground, and finally the water were touched by her chakra flow.

The water began to ripple, slowly at first, but then faster. Soon, a blob began to rise from the depths, slowly forming to look like a head. It was still tranparent, but with the right light you could see a few details. The rest began to rise from the water, shoulders, followed by a small torso, and then arms, and then legs, and finally feet. With the creation of the feet, the creation was able to stand on the ground before the pond.

Shifts were made in Ryu's chakra flow and soon the clone grew more opaque, eventually having a total skin color. Unfortunately, she got a bit carried away and made a completely nude (and accurate) version of herself for a moment before she realized she needed to focus on clothes more than detail.

She blushed as she thought about what her quest had just seen, as surely he was watching, and her distraction made her lose concentration, as the clone began to grow bigger boobs and turn purple. She caught on quickly and fixed the problem, but was still blushing a bit, especially since her mishap caused her to make bigger boobs.

Finally, the one clone was complete. A perfect rendition of herself standing before the water. She smiled, satisfied with her work, and looked to see what Sachi was up to while she began to create a second clone.

嵐厚板〔政党の綱領〕 (Storming Plank no Jutsu)
Rank: C-Rank, B-Rank.
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Unleashes a rain of planks upon the opponent.
Special: "Monkey, Rat, Hare, Snake"
Drawback: User must hold snake handsign for at least 1.5 seconds possibly allowing an opening for attack.
Description: Upon holding the snake handsign and the manipulation of the wood release a plethora of planks are summoned forth from the ground/earth surrounding the user. The planks rapidly shoot around ten feet into the air and then harshly storm down onto the opponent. The planks are around 6 inches wide, 12 inches long, and 2 inches thick. Meaning if one were to take a completely unguarded/unevaded hit from the jutsu damage could be cripling, to the point where movements might be slowed down due to the high amounts of pain and bruises and such. Upon rising into the air the planks serve as a good momentary defense against incoming taijutsu and projectile/projectile ninjutsu. The C-Rank allows up to 20 planks to be summoned forth. While the B-Rank allows up to 50 planks, upon reaching B-Rank capabilitie the user is able to summon forth the planks from anywhere in the surrounding area.
Limit: Must have wood release.

He didn't spring into action like you might expect when she began to form handsigns. He took this time to watch her handseal speed - which he found to be impressive, on level with himself even - and anything else that might give him the edge. He examined her posture, her position which we be just 10 meters ahead of himself, and he tried to keep an eye out for what exactly she was doing. He heard the splashing and rippling of water indicating movement, suiton ninjutsu immediately came to mind and jade slates flicked over to the source of the sound. He watched the slow creation of this water clone, and got quite the good look in when she seemed to be creating a naked one - looked very detailed, too. He comically covered his eyes with one hand and cracked open a space between middle and ring fingers.

This was just a joke on his part, because in any normal combat situation he'd not be obstructing his vision. He smirked at the thought of her messing up like that while he watched - but hot damn, what a show. He could tell she had a body, but that just showed him just about everything - he wasn't complaining, nope, nope. He giggled lightly under his breath as hand would still remain over his face, the clone seemed to suddenly shift purple and have its chest bloat up and grow larger. Gaze shifted back to her and he could see the embarrassment she felt, so he'd turn away from the clone and drop his hand; just focusing on her so she didn't feel weird having him focusing on the clone. He smiled and pulled his other hand from his pocket,

"I can't give you a show as good as that, but I think I can help you train"..

A technique he'd been meaning to practice entered his mind. A much more simple mokuton jutsu after learning how to create an entire forest sounded right up his alley. He explored his mind and tried to remember what the scroll had said what handseals were needed in order for him to perform this jutsu. Finally, after a few moments of thought a perfect mental image of the parchment was able to be pulled up from the depths of his memory. Right and left appendages lifted upwards slowly, stopping just above his stomach. Hand spread apart and opened wide as palms were gently brought into contact, digits were soon to follow as they'd brush against their opposites and intertwine both hands. A generic "C" ranking technique required but six of the zodiac to unleash - wasn't a problem for him.

Hands deftly assumed the handsign of the very first zodiac beast. Such an action had started a large amount of internal movement that would go unseen to both of them. His pools of chakra that had been calm had suddenly burst into motion. The energy was being pumped all throughout the several tubes that made his chakra network at high-speed. He could feel the movements throughout his body as the energy now waited to be put to use. In a blur of flesh hand would perform two more handseals, it was these two that would direct and propel the energy to where it needed to go. The chakra rushed down his lower body and into his legs, from which point the enemy poured from there into the earth directly below him as it would fan out. Suddenly the large gathering would split apart and shoot out in many direction.

The chakra pooled in twenty separate locations in the earth; waiting to be manipulated further. Another two hand-movements flashed by and it was these two that would introduce great change into the chakras structure. It was almost instantly morphed from basic chakra energy into mokuton energy. The blue had morphed into a light brown in colour to represent this change. He was just a final motion away at this point, the final handsign would make the chakra into a solid chunk of wood and send them flying from the ground; ready to do his bidding. Right leg slid out behind him as he changed up his posture to a more sturdy one, and simultaneous with said action hand gracefully transitioned into the final sign. The chakra reacted immediately, using the unique properties of the mokuton chakra it used both suiton and doton to compact together into a physical substance; wood.

Suddenly the large planks propelled upwards at shot up into the air. They at least reached 10 foot high and wood stand well above the two of them, and with the final command given the were sent blasting in the direction of the water. Twenty large planks rained down from above aiming the smash, and consequently destroy, the first clone and the second clone that was in the process of being made. They weren't the most accurate of attacks considering the clones could obviously dodge - but with twenty descending down in all directions it definitely helped his chances. Strength in numbers, no?

Tenchi Hasso no Kamae and Fudo no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Stances that is used within the Senkou Kensei Kenshiki fighting style. A stance that is needed for certain types of techniques depending on what the technique is used or how it is used. These are two stances in one to where the properties are similar as well as the knowledge of them, the way they look, and what they will be used for.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The Tenchi Hasso and Fudo no Kamae are similiar to that of closely towards that of Seigan and Chudan no Kamae to where the footing is quite similar. The user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. With the Tenchi Hasso no Kamae the user holds the sword more closer towards their very sides. The body is slightly slanted a little more as the user holds the sword tightly. This is mostly used for a defensive form of the stance as the user keeps the sword pointing upwards. For Fudo no Kamae the user uses this stance in more of an offensive form. The user would face the opponent as their arms are raised up holding the hilt of the blade. The sword is slanted in a diagonal form but the user keeps this very stance and hold it tightly. This stance is mostly used for attacks that deals with downward strikes, but as well as the type of movements for confusing the enemy with sliding attacks.
Limit: Must undergo Senkou Kensei Kenshiki

0|5 - Flashback.

The young Hanakora was quickly making his way through the most basic of stances required to utilize this way of fighting effectively. In order to advance to the real swordplay he was required to master every single form of Senkou Kensei Kenshiki. Sachi had just finished learning two forms previously, both of which were quite defensive in nature. The last two forms had emphasis on blocking and parrying enemy strikes, and counter-striking with quick, accurate slices. He was told by his master that today he would be learning two more forms, one being more defensive while the other seemed to be a purely offensive form. The latter excited him, Sachi was more interested in the attacking aspects opposed to the blocking and parrying end of things. In silence he awaited the commands of his sensei with wooden blade held in a neutral stance before him.

First on the agenda was the Tenchi Hasso no Kamae. He was told that both of these stances he was learning today utilized the same "L" shaped footwork that the previous two used, however he was to mirror it. Meaning that this time right leg would take the lead as foot pointed forwards, and now his left leg would be completeing the "L" shape with a turn of his leg. Grip tightened on the hilt of his wooden katana as legs spread shoulder-width apart and he would be sure he had the right footwork. Slowly the weapon was brought to his flank, with the Tenchi Hasso one was required to hold their weapon to their flanks whilst leaning themselves slightly forward. The Hanakora could tell this technique would be a good one for diagonal slashes upwards, or even horizontal strikes. The youth breathed in deeply, and with an abrupt twist of his body the wooden blade would arc upwards with a diagonal slice.

His sensei nodded in approval, and as the weapon was coming to completion in its strike a flick of the wrist was all that was needed. The training sword was twirled as brought sharply downwards where Sachi would again assume a neutral stance, however still utilizing the "L" shaped footwork. Next on the list was the offensive form known as Fudo no Kamae, and Sachi was glad he was learning such a stance. This one differed greatly from the previous ones other than the same footwork. The one required the user to hold the blade high up in front of them. The blade itself would be tilted back at an angle as to allow the fighter to utilize powerful downward slashes. Being able to use gravity and your body weight greatly increased the force of your strikes, however it left your defense quite lacking. Such was the sacrifice for greater offense. Without hesitation he would quickly begin the transition into said stance.

His grip became much tighter and he would correct his footwork. Appendages would slowly rise as arms were flexed tightly. Hands were brought nearly on level with his head as the wooden katana was pointed straight up. Blade was now angled to his right diagonally as his master had instructed, and freezing completely once he completed the Fude no Kamae he would await approval from his sensei. A grunt would signify he was indeed correct in his form, and with a large swing downwards he would give a practice slash with great force.

For what it was worth, she hadn't expected him to actually train with her. She thought she'd be simply training alone, and have him leave soon after she was finished with her firsdt clone, bored of her already. She was glad he stayed, though, as it gave her some company while she trained, and she liked it. Being alone wasn't any fun.

At first, she was embarrassed at what he'd seen, but now she seemed more... comfortable. He had made it not awkward, allowing her to loosen up and smile. He seemed to enjoy the show, anyway; why shouldn't she? She chuckled a bit as she watched him perform his handseals. She was curious as to his abilities, and he seemed to have about the same handseal speed as herself. That could mean one of two things, but it didn't really matter. She was just glad to have someone to share time with.

She watched as he finished up his jutsu, and a large amount of planks sprung forth from the ground. They were all headed toward her clones, but no-no, she'd not let them be finished off. They dodged as best they could, more being returned to a watery state for a moment then anything and reforming into their human shapes. an arm and a leg would be hit by the planks, and soon replaced by Ryu's concentration. She was a master, after all.

"That's a lovely addition." She wondered if she should show him she used wood too. Maybe he'd like her more if she was a wood-user as well. Regardless, she needed to finish this jutsu first. Hands raised to perform the handseals again, and soon chakra was flowing through her once more. The vein-like tubes carried the stuff straight through her into the ground, and into the earth, and finally into the water once more.

In reality, she was doing this much faster than it seemed to herself, as she was concentrating vigorously on the task at hand; every second seemed like a hundred. Soon, two clones would appear simultaneously, shifting randomly to eventually come up with the same results: a replica of Ryu herself. This time, she had remembered to create their clothes first, and with a glance to this Sachi fellow, made sure he was not laughing or anything. A pink tinge covered her cheeks momentarily before she returned to her clones. No time for that, now.

Now, four clones stood before the pond. They were looking each other over and poking each other. She laughed at the sight of four of herself mingling together before creating her final clone. The fifth was quick, and popped from the water nearly instantly after she completed the handseals. She gave a single nod, and that was that. She released the water clones, and they reformed into puddles.

For her last action, she once more performed the handseals, this time as fast as she could muster, and created all five clones at once. That was just for good measure, to make sure she'd created them properly. She looked each one over, and they were all as good as they were going to get. She smiled, and sighed, and released the water once more.

Limited Invisibility
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Only works for a short period of time, and it only works when the user does not move or is not touched.
Description: A technique that has a distance of that of ten meters from the user or who the user touches. The center of the effect is mobile with the recipient. The creature or object included becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from dark vision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. Those affected by this Jutsu can see each other and themselves as if unaffected by the Jutsu. Any affected creature moving out of the area becomes visible, but creatures moving into the area after the Jutsu are cast do not become invisible. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth. This technique only lasts a round for every class level the user is starting at their class level "D".

He watched closely as she maneuvered her clones in an attempt to dodge the onslaught of wooden planks descending upon them. She did fairly well he had to admit, but as he predicted the vast amount of them proved too overwhelming for them to evade each last one. The wood had smashed into limbs and the like, however she was quick to recreate lost appendages as to not hinder their evasions. She seemed to be a talented shinobi and fighter, Sachi liked that in a person, it showed they were a good thinker. He watched idly as she would create and recreate her clones, and it seemed she was able to make more and more simultaneously each time - he assumed she had gotten the grasp of her mizu bunshins quickly. He supposed it was his turn to continue, and he figured he would play mind-games with her - he was hoping she wasn't a genjutsu user like himself, or one of those Uchiha.

Hands were brought together once more from the neutral position he left appendages in after performing his mokuton technique. What he had in mind was a genjutsu that fell under the glamor perception, a jutsu that granted invisibility believe it or not. With this move he could alter the senses of those around him and give the illusion that he had simply disappeared from their sight, when he was in fact very much there. Again he delved into the depths of his brain trying to bring up that photographic memory of his. He remembered reading this scroll earlier in the day - reading techniques and other ninja arts was something he did a lot of in fact. This was quite the low leveled technique and required just a few motions of his hands, but in those few his chakra did quite some amazing things - turning invisible wasn't your average thing after all.

It would take no more than four handsigns on his part to bring this genjutsu to life, and with no hesitation he quickly began. The first one, as with almost all techniques, was the one that began the circulation of the chakra network. Not that chakra wasn't always flowing, it was just the action that increased said flow and accelerated its movements greatly. It coursed his body at an amazing rate, and it was the next two movements that would transport the chakra outside of him body. A dome of chakra encased him completely as it was stretched out greatly in the distance of 10 meters, and finally stopping there he was nearly completed with this technique. He paused briefly as he breathed slowly inwards, and looking over to Ryu he smiled warmly in her direction for a brief moment, and with a final motion he was simply gone. You see, the final handsign is what would alter that chakra to play with her brain.

It would seem as if had simply vanished into thin air and left nothing behind. All was silent and there was literally nothing for her to see before her. Except in reality Sachi remained exactly in the same spot he had been standing this entire time; trying to stay as quiet as possible and refrain from laughing. He was curious to see if she could figure it out and what her reaction to genjutsu would be - hopefully he just wasn't making a fool of himself thinking he couldn't be spotted.

The Hanakora's prowess in wood techniques was quickly growing. This was easily one of, if not, his most favourite of all elemental ninjutsu. His clan relied heavily on mokuton for their techniques, and the village of Grass itself was strongly oriented with the wood release. With that in mind he felt it would be best for him to learn and become accustomed to it as well, especially since he had so many unique skills available to him. The fact that mokuton was totally badass might have contributed. On the agenda for today was a simple, defensive technique. This jutsu used the ability of creating wood to conjure forth a shield that was capable of taking a nice amount of damage, and the fact is was a lower-leveled technique meant that he'd be able to utilize it quickly. It wasn't the best defense he had at his disposal, however it had its own uses.

He had an abundance of ninjutsu scrolls with him. He took this time on his journey of enlightenment to practice his ninja arts so that he may return a formidable warrior. Between trips and the like he practiced relentlessly; wishing to learn anything he was capable of. With a the worn scroll unrolled in his hands jade slates quickly read the text and absorbed the information fast as he could. For good measure he often took the time to read things over several times, not only to memorize but in the event he happened to miss something. This was merely a "C" ranking jutsu, it would only require but a few simple movements of the hands to bring this technique to life. Quickly rising to his feet and lowering the scroll he abandoned his seated position. It was early morning and he was determined to finish this before he continued on his travels.

As he always did the Hanakora assumed a neutral stance with palms pressed against one another and digits loosely intertwined. He inhaled slowly and eyes rose from to scroll to face straight ahead, and in the blink of an eye he had begun. Chakra reserves were quickly thrown into an active state as the first handsign unleashed a large surge of energy. Much more chakra than necessary was coursing through his body at an accelerated pace from head to toe. In a blur of flesh hands moved at a speed that left your average nin looking quite sluggish in his actions, 3 more of the zodiac were presented and brought forth a more drastic movement of his chakra. The large wave of energy that had been circling Sachi's body was abruptly and almost instantaneously thrown downwards. From his legs, like most wood jutsu, the chakra flowed downwards and into the earth itself as it pooled into the location this jutsu would be used.

The spot he chose was just a meter ahead of him. He visualized an enemy ninja firing a storm of projectiles at him. Little did he know that there was a shield on its way. The next three handsigns went by in a flash as hands never ceased their deft transitions. It was these next three that brought for the elemental manipulation of his chakra. It changed its very structure from a basic energy to a refined mokuton exclusive energy. It was this very mixture of suiton and doton that allowed him to create wood and bend it to his will. At this point he was but a single motion away from bringing forth this sturdy shield crafted of wood, and continuing with his visualization he pretended the projectiles were closing in on him. Hands would shift for the final time as digits moved to the required spots, and with the last of the eight zodiac thrust forward he would hear the loud 'snap' as the wood sprung upwards in physical form.

The rectangular shield of wood had erected before him in just a flicker of movement. This thick plank ascended upwards ready to intercept any and all strikes that came its way, and with a smirk the Hanakora was satisfied when he finally witnessed the technique in play.

"Pretty nifty.."

With her clones now puddles receeding once more into the pond, her gaze would shift over to Sachi. He stood there a moment, seemingly thinking, before he appeared to have found what he was looking for mentally, beginning to form handseals.

She raised a brow as she watched, curious as to what was going to happen. Pausing in his handseals, he would smile at her. She tilted her head to the right a bit, and then he was gone.

Her eyes flew open. She stared at where he had been for a while before she started to look around her. All around her were her flowers and garden decorations. Had he moved? Was he still standing there? She looked back to where he was. Either he was incredibly fast, or using some technique to make himself invisible. Genjutsu, perhaps.

She felt very... vulnerable here. Perhaps it was a good idea to have some form of protection. She thought back onto the boook she'd read, thinking on the handseals for her next attempt. This one would be simple.

Raising her hands, she'd form her handseals quickly. With the first, her charkra would begin to bubble up within her, flowing from her core outward, searching for its destination. With the second, the destination would be chosen, in this instance, her right arm. With the third and final handseal, the shakra would be released, a dark form soon growing over her arm.

Her ability to create mokuton jutsu from her own flesh was a good deal in this case, since she had mastered the release already. Even if the needed things were nearby, it was a cooler effect to have it grow from herself, wasn't it? Totally worth it. The dark form began to grow bumpy, layering itself to grow thicker.

Soon, it was a complete, club-shaped branch. It popped off of her arm, which was still intact and fine, and she grabbed it with both hands, holding it defensively before her as she looked behind herself. It was heavy, and she'd be somewhat slower holding it. After doing it, she realized it wasn't really all that helpful of a jutsu. Bulky, and she didn't like blunt weapons anyway.

Oh well, she'd already done it by now. She'd turn, looking for Sachi. He had to be hiding somewhere now.

Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. The two stances are both mirrored against one another, as both stances have their attacking arm, the arm that is the same as the leg that is forward at the base of the hilt, while the other arm is at the end of the hilt. The sword is pointing downwards almost touching the very ground as the arm is held straight holding the sword in a forty five degree angle downwards.

Two more stances is what was going to be learned today. Including these two this would mark six stances in total that the Hanakora had mastered, and from what he was told there was still multiple more stances to go. He hoped the amount of forms that were required of him to learn would end soon, he didn't very much like just holding his sword in a different position; he wanted to learn of to use it. Alas he was still limited to using a mere bokken, he was kind of disappointed he wasn't allowed to use a real katana just yet, but he understood the reason behind this and wasn't about to disobey his sensei. He listened closely to the instructions given to him, and once more he had found these stances had also utilized the balanced "L" shaped footwork. He wondered if all forms in the SKK used such footing, it seemed to be very stable and useful and he couldn't see why not, although I suppose keeping the same footwork for everything left a weakness in your inability to change it up.

He was told the only difference between the forms known as Hiryu and Chosui no Kamae was they they mirrored eachother. Meaning whichever foot had the lead in one was reversed in the other, likewise with which and was holding the blade and any other important factors. With an inhale he would begin by raising his bokken to a neutral stance in front of him, and slowly he would make the necessary adjustments to transition into the forms. Right leg extended forward and took the front as the 'lead leg'. Left was adjusted as to form to "L" position required, and simultaneous with this adjustment he would begin to raise his blade. Right hand would be gripped just under the guard of the blade, whereas left was gripped lower to the very end. With a tight grip hands squeezed on the sword, and with a slow motion of his arms he stretched them straight outwards and began to angle the blade downwards. It was to point at a 45 degree angle with the tip nearly touching the ground underneath it.

The next transition was much quicker, with a rapid adjustment he began to take the stance of the Chosui no Kamae. Left leg shot forward to take the lead, right leg would change up to complete the "L". Right hand released its grip and swapped places with the left in a flash. He adjusted his body to get comfortable and quickly positioned the blade downwards at an angle once more. A nod from his master and he would acknowledge that his form was good.

Scratch two more boring stances...

Herself and Aden were in her garden for their usual training meetup. Today she had the plan to improver her ninjutsu by learning a new release, bringing her number to four. He was going to help her by telling her if he could feel any air coming at him. At first he stood right before her, about a foot away, and her hand was held out before her. Aden just stared at her, smiling. It made her a bit uncomfortable, having him stare at her like that. She still hadn't been able to tell him anything about how she felt. They were just friends, and they'd probably remain that way forever.

She furrowed her brows and concentrated. Aden laughed at her concentration face and she got distracted. "Stop it," she said, hitting him in the arm. "Yiu're breaking my concentration." Her hand was held forward once more, held up in the air to his face. She saw his eyes between her fingers before she pressed them shut, blocking out his face completely. He was such an ass sometimes.

She concentrated with all she had, moving her chakra from her core outward, heading towards the palm of her hand. She held it there, creating a flat surface of the chakra within her hand. She a release, she'd watch his face to see any reaction. The few strands of hair in his face blew slightly and she gave a small squeal of excitement. She'd gotten somewhere with it, yay.

She shoo'd him with her hand and he stepped a few more feet away. She did the same once more, this time trying to spread her chakra out of her hand, into the air around her. She closed her eyes and used her chakra to feel the air, small molecules ran through her chakra and she felt them slightly, allowing her chakra to follow it. She released it once more, opening her eyes to find that her chakra hadn't quite reached Aden, though she saw the grass between them move a bit, showing her that at least something had occurred.

The next time she held her hand out, it was with more force, as she was determined to get this right. She concentrated again, this time using a little more chakra to fill the area around her hand, creating a circular spot of chakra to shoot out. With a release, she'd purse her lips. Her hand had a bit of recoil and a blast of air shot across the garden, nearly blowing Aden away. She'd figured out what to do, now she need only learn to control it.

She apologized to Aden for using too much force, and reminded him that she was still getting the hand of it. Next time she'd go easy on the chakra.

This time prepared with the knowledge of how to use the air around her for the wind release, although a bit unskilled in determining how much to use, she stood at a much farther distance from Aden, ready to shoot a bee-line of wind towards her adored friend. She held her hand forward once more, sending her chakra outward, collecting molecules in a more concentrated area, and with a lot less chakra than she'd used last time.

Her hand was beginning to feel very tired from being used and held out for so long, but she pushed through it. This was more important than a little fatigue of her hand, she was improving herself. For now at least, she was satisfied with just that. She released her wind once more, and again, it didn't quite reach Aden, but she was getting close. She just had to get the hand of judging how much was needed for each distance and jutsu.

She tried again, putting a little more chakra into her attack, but trying to get the same amount of molecules of air. She'd hold it for longer, being sure she had the right amounts that she had meant to have. After release, she saw a breeze blow past where Aden was standing. His hair flew back, and his clothing whipper around. He smiled. She'd gotten it.

Now she wanted to make things a bit more interesting, perhaps trying to knock Aden over. She told him to remain in the same spot, and this time lifted two hands before herself and outstretched, flatpalmed to the air as she aimed right for Aden. She collected a large amount of wind, concentrating it in front of her hands, and flowed her chakra through the now concentrated area of air.

With an intake of air, she aimed her burst of air, and blowing out, she'd release the air, allowing it to fly through the air towards Aden. Things seemed to go in slow motion as she watched her air flow through the rest of the air. The air rippled a bit, and she saw Aden's eyes open a bit as he realized what it was. It was too late however, and she smiled as she watched him topple over, unprepared for pressurized air to be shot at him.

She giggled and walked over to help him up. Her hand outstretched, he told her she did a good job, and as she pulled him up, he hugged her. Surprise was evident on her face. That was a first.

Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

'Ugh, what an awful day for training.' Ryu's thoughts on the weather were expressed as she looked at the dark clouds overhead. A cold breeze with a tinge of future rain blew past. It didn't rain much in Grass, it was usually sunny and awesome, but when it rained, it was like the worst day ever. Ryu hated it.

Either way, she wanted to train. The weather wouldn't keep her from learning. Atlas sat in his covered spot in the trees nearby, ready to watch Ryu train. She was glad she had him around. It did get rather lonely out here so far from the village center. Her humble abode was a cottage located within the village boundaries, but it was far enough away to be peaceful and out of the way.

Recently she had learned control of the wind release, and had researched a few techniques she wanted to get the hang of. The first was one that created senbon out of the air. Invisible and piercing, they could do a bit of damamge on their own, but for the most part they would just be annoying and distracting. To start, she'd pull chakra from her center using a handseal. After this was complete, she'd focus the chakra around the air, compressing and shaping it into what she hoped would be a senbon, though she couldn't really tell at this point as they were incredibly hard to see. She could only feel the shape, and to her, they felt pretty damn close.

Seven needles sat in the air above her hand, and she released her chakra, shooting them quickly towards her target: a tree across the garden. With a crack, the bark broke off in several areas, and small holes could be seen where the needles had pierced the wood there. She grinned, satisfied, and started again.

For her second attempt, she'd create more of the same, focusing her chakra with the handseal, pressing the air into the small needles required. She was always such a perfectionist when creating things, and this was no different. She made sure the tips were nice and sharp, and that each was the same length as the others, and that the circumference remained constant amongst them all.

With a flick of her hand, the needles were sent flying. They were silent, and transparent, whizzing through the air towards their target. With another crack (admittedly louder this time than the last), the bark would fly once more and more holes would be made in the tree. Upon further examination, the holes were larger and deeper this time, and several cracks flowed from the holes, showing a greater force behind them.

She looked over at Atlas, who smiled and gave a few claps of excitement. He was always so cheerful.
