“Hey Hoshigaki, I could use you out here now!” she bellowed in an attempt to gain his attention. Slowly, The Great Hoshigaki emerged from the tree line, chewing as he did so. “Yeah thought you’d be stuffing your face again” Amarante muttered under her breath, disappointed.

Swallowing, The Great Hoshigaki spoke. “Alright then let’s get this started!” he cried, withdrawing a kunai. “I am assuming that you can bring the shield up now right?”

Amarante nodded. “Yeah but what’s the kunai for?” she enquired.

Smirking, the Great Hoshigaki answered her. “It’s for throwing of course” he chuckled, raising his knife menacingly. “Now that you can call upon the shield you have to learn to increase its strength or else you’d only be doing a fancy trick and not something useful.”

Nervously, Amarante agreed with The Great Hoshigaki. If she didn’t learn to increase its strength it would just be decoration and not useful like she wanted it. “Also it won’t be an automatic response straight off the bat so you’re going to have to train the jutsu over and over again until it just becomes natural to you, that’s the only way it will become an automatic thing, you got it?” Amarante nodded.

“Okay then…” The Great Hoshigaki trailed off, smiling. “Then let’s get started.” After speaking, he then proceeded to throw the kunai knife at the girls’ leg. Amarante in response used the jutsu to block the blade but it didn’t do so straight away and only deflected it a little bit.

“That’s no good!” the Great Hoshigaki called. “You’ve got to put more chakra into the jutsu or it won’t deflect the blade away from you.” Nodding, Amarante silently apologised and urged for the man to continue. Forming a hand sign, Hoshigaki called his kunai back into his hand and then drew his arm back ready to throw again.

As the blade sailed towards Amarante’s left leg once more, she infused her chakra with the water beneath her feet and brought it up to deflect the blade. The blade was then sent out and away from Amarante, the girl still not quiet mastering the technique but making progress.

“That’s a bit better now” the great Hoshigaki commented, bringing his kunai knife back to him with a jutsu. “But let’s see you dodge something a little higher up. He then aimed the blade towards her stomach and threw it. Amarante tried her best to block the technique and successfully did so, just in time, the blade becoming trapped within the water.

“Now that’s a lot better” the blue man commented once again, a smile on his face. “Now I feel a little more comfortable aiming even higher.” Amarante began to sweat.

She had only just been able to block that last one, what if she messed up this time, couldn’t reach the blade in time, she’d be stabbed, possibly killed. The Great Hoshigaki really did have a lack of concern for her life now didn’t he so swallowing a lump in her throat, Amarante prepared herself, focusing on making her technique faster.

The Great Hoshigaki drew back his arm and Amarante prepared herself. He aimed for her head and then threw, Amarante then conjured her shield as fast as she could to block the fatal blow and just when she thought she was done for; the shield intervened and saved her, the blade becoming lodged in the water.

Exhaling in relief, she heard the Great Hoshigaki comment. “Heh and here I thought that I’d be burying you after that go” he remarked, a chuckle soon following. “Don’t get to comfortable either” the blue man then warned, drawing back his kunai. “We’ve still got a little while longer of this.”

Amarante wiped some sweat from her forehead. “Right I’ve got to practice this until it becomes second nature, don’t I?” she said confidence evident in her tone. “Simple I could do this all day long” she boasted, ready for anything The Great Hoshigaki could throw at her.

Smirking, the Great Hoshigaki responded, liking the air of confidence she displayed. “Really then what if I used two kunai this time?” he asked, producing a second blade. Amarante’s confidence was gone now; she really was worried about this.

An hour went by and Amarante had yet to be injured by Hoshigaki who was now using five kunai at a time in an attempt to cut her and she was beginning to feel confident in her abilities. “Hey let me try something really quick!” she called, gaining the blue mans attention. “I want to see if I can use the technique automatically now so do me a favour and just throw one blade at my legs as a test.”

Complying, The Great Hoshigaki nodded. “Alright but just know if this doesn’t work it’s you fault you got cut, not mine.” Amarante waved the man off, turning around to face away from him.

“Just do it!” she ordered, confident that she could. A silent moment went by, The Great Hoshigaki choosing his moment to strike. All of a sudden however, Amarante water shield acted of its accord and moved to deflect a blade which was fast incoming. “Well…” Amarante began. “This looks promising.”

Self Deafening
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user temporarily deafens their ears.
Special: Dragon
Drawback: Cannot be undone until time has expired. Cannot be used on others.
Description: In performing the said hand seal, the user focuses charka to their own eardrums and creates a thick layer over them. In doing so, the user becomes temporarily deaf and incapable of hearing sounds what so ever. This layer of charka however may not be canceled by will, and the user must wait for the duration of the jutsu for it to end. The effects of such a jutsu last only two posts due to the weak strength of it, however it is completely effective at making the user deaf.
Limit: Must have Sound Release

Amarante relaxed; lying back against a tree, well actually she didn’t quiet relax. The Great Hoshigaki was talking about nothing in particular, like he always. It was fairly annoying so relaxation was incredibly difficult to achieve under the circumstances.

Picking up her back pack, she looked for a sound type jutsu that may be able to help her, vaguely remembering one that might come in handy during this circumstance. Fumbling through the back pack, she settled upon one which seemed as though it would work.

It was the self deafening technique, it was d ranked but it seemed as though it would work for her and it was an easy one to learn so she was happy that she wouldn’t have to put to much effort into the technique, well not as much as she had been putting into her jutsu as of late, The Great Hoshigaki really was a slave driver, even when she was resting she was expected to practice.

Opening the scroll, Amarante read its description. ‘The user focuses charka to their own eardrums and creates a thick layer over them. In doing so, the user becomes temporarily deaf and incapable of hearing sounds what so ever. This layer of charka however may not be cancelled by will, and the user must wait for the duration of the jutsu for it to end.’

It sounded as though it was the perfect jutsu for this occasion, especially the incapable of hearing sounds part, so she gave it a shot. Forming the Dragon hand sign, she was interrupted mid way by Hoshigaki. “What are you doing?” the large man enquired.

Thinking quickly Amarante made up some excuse. “Oh I’m just trying a chakra building exercise as we talk” she quickly retorted, the lie not apparent on her face. “That water shield technique is going to be draining my chakra now so I thought it’d be best if I built on my chakra levels.”

The Great Hoshigaki seemed to agree with her. “Yeah that seems like a good idea, now as I was saying…” Amarante once again tuned out and focused on her jutsu, The Great Hoshigaki unsuspecting.

Focusing her chakra, she focused on building a layer of chakra over her ear drums. Checking her progress, she noticed that her hearing was muffled but she could still hear the Great Hoshigaki who was now blabbering on about this party he once attended and how crazy it got.

Deciding that it would be best to wait until the jutsu died down, Amarante amused herself by reading over some more of the finer details of the technique, still holding the dragon hand sign so as not to alert the Great Hoshigaki to her doings.

She learnt that she couldn’t use this jutsu on other people and a general time limit of the jutsu. It was a good thing to know as she wouldn’t have to waste time trying to deafen Hoshigaki to learn it properly and when she could hear normally again she tried once more.

Forming the hand signs, Amarante once again focused on creating a thick layer of chakra around her ear drums, one a lot thicker then what she tried to do before. Success followed this attempt and she was now unable to hear the Great Hoshigaki ramble on about whatever he was rambling on about.

After a while Hoshigaki asked Amarante what her opinion on something was, Amarante however could not hear him and gave no response. “Ah Amarante, Amarante?” he beckoned, snapping his fingers to gain her attention. “Come on listen to me what are you deaf or something?”

Snapping to a realisation, Hoshigaki quickly got up and snatched the scroll from her hands. “Hey wait a minute…” Reading it over he quickly looked down at Amarante, a displeased look on his face. “Oh you are just the worst type of person” he criticized, his words literally falling upon deaf ears.

Amarante although she couldn’t hear him got the gist of what he was saying and poked her tongue out playfully.

“You know you shouldn’t be so proud of learning the water shield technique you know” The Great Hoshigaki chastised, ruining Amarante’s good mood. “What happens when there’s no water around and you can’t block a kunai or something with your hands in time?”

Amarante huffed her displeasure. “I’d manage don’t you worry” she assured him though in reality that was something to take into consideration. She’d be in a lot of trouble if that situation was to ever occur so she decided to give her back pack a look through.

Observing some of the jutsu scroll she had borrowed from the library, she tried to find one that may help her out. The answer to her problem came in form of the sound shield, a jutsu that by holding the ox hand seal and humming a low pitched tone would alter the air pressure and deflect the kunai.

“Here I’ll just learn this and it’ll be fine” she assured the surprisingly worried Hoshigaki. Looking over the scroll he had been handed, the blue man gave his two cents worth.

“Ah the sound barrier technique” he read aloud. “Yeah that’d be a good addition to your arsenal I guess but the problem is that it doesn’t deflect jutsu it only deflects weaponry.”

Amarante responded cheekily. “Yeah but you asked what would happen if a kunai came at me and I didn’t have the time to block it. You didn’t say anything about jutsu” she kidded, earning a chuckled from the large blue man.

“Hn whatever makes you feel good kid” he chuckled. “So you ready to learn this technique or what?” he asked, producing a kunai knife. Amarante pleaded with the man.

“Uh no not ready for the kunai yet” she declared, urging Hoshigaki not to throw it. “How about we just try it with a rock to start with?” Complying, The Great Hoshigaki picked up a rock and threw it at the girl, said rock slamming into her head. “I didn’t mean right now!” she barked at the man! Forming the ox hand signs, she then allowed the man to continue. “Alright now you can throw it” she assured him.

The Great Hoshigaki rummaged around the area in search of a rock which would be throws worthy. “You know I ever expected to be rummaging around the undergrowth for a rock to throw at a little girl before” he mused aloud to him self, Amarante screwing her nose upon hearing them but not retaliating.

“Ah here we go!” he proclaimed, producing a rock in front of him. “You ready now?” he asked, Amarante nodding. “The here we go!” he exclaimed, rearing back his arm and throwing at a fairly fast pace which Amarante knew he was holding back.

Humming the low tune, Amarante managed to deflect the stone away from her and let it slide into a nearby bush, probably disturbing the inhabitants as she hear some further rummaging afterwards. “That was actually a lot easier then I thought it would be” Amarante announced.

“Try the kunai this time, just don’t aim for my head just yet” she instructed, The Great Hoshigaki complying. Producing his kunai knife, he threw it at the girls’ stomach, the blade hazardously travelling towards her at a speed which Amarante was sure he was holding back once again.

Humming another low tone, whilst still holding the ox hand sign, Amarante once again deflected the blade, bending it off course and sending it into a nearby tree. “Good, good” The Great Hoshigaki commented. “Now this time I’ll aim for your head, I enjoy doing more then aiming for your stomach for some reason.”

‘Yeah I love you too’ Amarante internally mused to the mans forbidding words as he drew back his hand, his blade once again returning to him via jutsu. He then threw the blade at a speed faster then which had done so previous but Amarante was still able to deflect its course, most likely because the sound she produced as so close to his target, and sent it jamming into the tree once again.

“I really am good with sound jutsu aren’t I?” she joked as she avoided being killed by the man in front of her, which was something to be proud of.

Entering the training grounds early in the morning, Amarante decided that she would need to train the sonar jutsu to a greater level so it would be more useful in an actual battle circumstance. At this point it wasn’t that the jutsu was useless, it was just that she hadn’t trained it properly yet. In the future it would definitely prove to be very effective.

The Great Hoshigaki didn’t seem to be around so she decided to use her own creativity to practice it for now, if she was to leave it in his hands she’d most likely be killed anyway so this was probably the best option.

Using her scratched out head band as a blind fold, Amarante formed the hand signs and began to hum a low pitched tone. She then use that tone to help her navigate her way through the forest, the tone being able to relay her the information of the surrounding area.

As she began to move, she was provided with an image of the area, at best which she could describe as sort of a black and blue image which she could read? She really didn’t have the words to describe it but it was readable like that but difficult to understand, the fact it was only shooting off in one direction was hindering her abilities somewhat.

Evading a tree by walking two steps two the left, she decided to speed up and jog as a means of navigation. It was a bit more difficult and every so often she would trip on some of the underbrush but still she could navigate fairly well so she tried sprinting through the trees which was a bad idea.

She could only see ten meters in front of her so she kept having to stop and start again as she almost careened head first into a tree over and over again. Her line of sight was much to short so she had to rectify that; the jutsu would be useless in a combat situation with such a pitiful range anyway.

Taking another breath and reforming the hand signs, Amarante focused more chakra into the technique trying to help her see further and while she had some mild success, she overall hadn’t increased it to a preferable distance, only adding another five meters to the technique.

She still had to stop and start again to avoid running into trees so she tried once more, taking another deep breath and forming the hands signs and beginning to run through the trees again.

Navigation became a lot easier this time, being able to see things with much greater ease, she didn’t have to react to the environment as quickly, having the ability to see twenty meters in front of her now though she still thought she could do better and so she tried once more.

Forming the hand signs, Amarante took another deep breath and initiated the jutsu, it was even better then before, Amarante guessed she could see almost thirty meters with the sonar now. Her sprinting became much easier to navigate as she was able to predict the trees much earlier then when she fist started.

The sound waves bounced from tree to tree and then back to her, with her being able to read it and change her direction accordingly. Soon though, she had to take a new breath, sound waves only being produced in time with her humming which was beginning to lack as she was running out of breath because of her sprinting.

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she took of her head band blind fold and prepared on her next method of training the jutsu.

(OOC: This will be the second time I’ve trained the jutsu meaning I'll have a range of thirty meters, as indicated up there once learnt.)

Stretching her back and legs out, Amarante took a slight breather before continuing on with her early morning training. She was pleased with her progress utilising the sonar technique so fare but she really felt that she didn’t have to go through so much trouble just to use it.

She really wished she could just go straight to being able to use the C ranked variation of the technique but really all things come with time so she tried her best to stick with the jutsu as best she could, fully understanding that she’d have to compensate for her lack of skill for a while.

Summoning forth two water clones from a nearby puddle of water before readjusting her head band blind fold, Amarante cast the hidden mist jutsu, as a way of making sure that she really couldn’t see, whilst also hindering the clones eye sight, (they’d have to navigate with the sonar jutsu as well.

With all these hindrances in place, she’d do the one thing she could do to train the sonar technique. She’d play hide and go seek. Giving the clones a twenty second head start, she formed the hand signs and gave chase. At this point the clones began tracking Amarante through sound and not the sonar technique now as the jutsu would give them away but she still had to use the sonar technique as a means of finding them as per the self imposed rules.

The clones didn’t run off completely though, they were playing this game as something of a Marco Polo type thing, finding a hiding place already and remaining still. Whether she’d find them all depended on her skill with the sonar technique which had to be refined if she wanted to win.

With a jutsu range of thirty meters, Amarante was confident that her clones wouldn’t wander to far away from her but she still had her suspicions that they would have gone beyond that range so first off she had to improve her ability to ‘see’ with the technique.

Focusing her chakra, Amarante built on the distance she could use the jutsu, improving its chakra percentage and managing to add another five meters into her technique. Thirty five meters still wasn’t enough however and she once again was forced to try improving the jutsu.

Forming the hand signs she began to hum the low pitched tone once again, increasing her ability to see now by ten meters, the sound coming back to her and relaying the location to one of the clones. “Hey clone by the river slash lake side, I’ve got you in my sites, come back now.”

Upon being addressed, the clone slouched its head and began to slowly walk back towards Amarante’s location. Smirking Amarante tried to see if she could find the other clone. Failing in her attempt, she wondered if the clone had gone even further away then that one she had already found.

Adding even more chakra to her technique, Amarante produced a sound which stretched out fifty meters before coming back to her and displaying her the information she required. Something happened when she tried the jutsu however, the sonar expanded sort of and showed her a little more of the location though it was to a barely noticeable degree.

“Hold on a second” she said aloud to herself as her clone approached her. The clone was confused by her behaviour but Amarante quickly ushered her questioning away stating that it wasn’t her who she was talking about.

Forming the hand signs, Amarante tried focusing the jutsu like she did before but took it a little further. The result of her attempt this time was that she really could see things better. Things in the underbrush were becoming visible now though only to a small margin. “Man don’t tell me I’m getting the hang of the C ranked version of this technique already?!” she exclaimed in joy.

She had to build on this opportunity and so she tried focusing her chakra even further into how the technique demanded, forming the hand signs once more and humming the low tune. As the sound waves coursed through the fifty meter area now, Amarante was rewarded with a 3d reading, one a lot more useful then the 2d reading which she was working with before.

She used this new ability in her first ever use to find her remaining clone. It was standing up against a tree hoping to blend in with it as her jutsu was only 2d at the time of its hiding. With her jutsu now at a new level though, she was easily able to spot it huddled in close with the bark.

“I see you other clone hiding by the tree” she called out. The clone in response was a bit disappointed about being spotted but still it walked over to her side, standing with its counter part and ready for further use.

(OOC: This will be the third time I’m learning the jutsu which upon mastery will lead it into C ranked ability giving me a 50 meter line of ‘vision’ and a 3d outlook instead of a 2d one now.)

In the training grounds, Amarante stood by the lake/river and stared out across the water in thought. She then formed some hand signs and summoned forth a large tornado of water and then scowled as it died down, disappointed in herself.

“Training the tornado of water jutsu huh?” she heard a familiar voice speak. Turning around she was met with the familiar mug of the great Hoshigaki who saluted her in hello. “I think you got that one down though so how about we try learning a different one, what do you say?”

Amarante looked away disheartened however and turned away. “Have I really mastered it?” she asked rhetorically. “I may have but either way I’m probably never going to get the chance to use it. I mean look how much water it uses, I’ll never have enough of it to cast the technique unless by chance my mission takes me to a lake or a beach or something.”

The Great Hoshigaki held a stern look and then began to chuckle. “Never say never girl” he then snickered knowingly, drawing Amarante’s attention. Eying the man closely she pressed the man for more information.

“What aren’t you telling me?” she enquired, curious as to what methods the man may have up his sleeve. “Do you have a way to use the jutsu with less water?”

Shaking his head, the Great Hoshigaki answered her. “No but I’ve got the next best thing” he assured her. “I know how to bring the water you need to you via jutsu.”

“Bring the jutsu to me?” Amarante repeated. “Show me this jutsu then, I want to see it” she pleaded. If she could bring the water to her then she’d be able to not only gather enough water for the tornado of water jutsu but she’d be able to bring enough water to use an assortment of other jutsu as well.

The Great Hoshigaki held a smirk. “HN well okay then but just remember you asked for it” he warned smugly. Walking over to the lake/river he took a position next to Amarante and formed a water clone. The water clone in turn walked further into the forest, remaining in sight, while Hoshigaki spoke once again.

“It’s best if I stay here with you for now” he explained. “It’s going to get… Messy.” Looking over towards the clone Amarante watched as it formed hand signs, inhaled and spewed forth a stream of water.

The clone kept spewing the stream of water for several seconds and soon water gathered all around it, increasing in volume at an alarming rate. The clone was then propelled up atop the water and began to ride a wave that lifted a good few meters from the ground and travelled towards both Amarante and The Great Hoshigaki.

Piping up, the large man gained Amarante’s attention. “And this would be where I intervene” he announced, forming some hand signs. A large wall of water then surrounded the two, one that looked like it could have been an advanced version of the water shield but she didn’t know.

The wall of water protected them from any damage they would have received from the giant wave. Looking around at the after math of the technique, Amarante could see trees that were now without leave, others were gone that were present a moment a go and water was covering everything making everything muddy.

She then turned to the clone that was now standing atop the water a smirk on its face. “You see…” the Great Hoshigaki began. “To use this jutsu, a shinobi focuses their chakra into a point in their gullet and then expels a large stream of water which rapidly increases in volume eventually allowing the user to ride a giant wave directly at their opponent.”

Giant was right, that wave was well beyond even the Great Hoshigaki’s head and the man had to at least be bordering on the two meter mark. She really fell in love with the ability of this jutsu, she had to have it. “I want to give it a shot” she proclaimed.

The Great Hoshigaki consented to her attempt. “Right go a head and do what you think is necessary” he complied, taking a back seat.

Amarante nodded her head in confidence and formed the hand signs she had seen the clone use and focused her chakra in her throat, spitting forth a stream of water which splashed against the ground, not producing the same effect that the Great Hoshigaki’s did.

Disheartened, Amarante was revived by The Great Hoshigaki’s words. “Heh don’t worry girl you’ll get it.”

Having only spat forth a stream of chakra, Amarante became disheartened. She thought that she’d be closer to learning the technique then that even if it was only her first try. She had been practicing with water style jutsu really hard lately but still she could only spit out that little amount of chakra? She was disappointed in herself.

The Great Hoshigaki encouraged her though, relaying his confidence that she’d learn it if she just tried hard enough and this moved Amarante. “Thanks but this is going to take a while to learn” she sighed, the Great Hoshigaki however wasn’t going to let her doubt herself so soon however.

“Relax it took me a while to learn this one too” he bashfully admitted. “Make you a deal, you learn to use this jutsu quicker then me and I’ll find you a teacher that would be able to teach you other styled jutsu, what do you say?”

Amarante pondered the deal. “Would he be able to teach me lightning style Ninjutsu?” she enquired, taking interest.

The Great Hoshigaki smiled. “Sure in fact he’s something of a specialist with the release” he assured her. “You know you’re lucky you know me, if you didn’t you would have access to nearly half of what I can offer you and would probably be stuck learning a few C ranked jutsu at best.”

Amarante’s facial expression became nervous. It was true she wouldn’t really have access to jutsu beyond C rank other then the water shark projectile but this guy had taught her some more which were stronger then what she had and was offering to teach her more, she really was in his debt.

“Okay it’s a deal” she happily agreed. “So what’s the time I have to beat?”

The Great Hoshigaki’s smile grew wider. “Two days” he informed her, bringing a sense of worry to the girl.

“What you mean I only have a day to learn the jutsu?” she screeched in shock.

The Great Hoshigaki chuckled. “Hehe yep” he replied nonchalantly. “I was going to give you a time frame of forty eight hours but if you’re so confident then twenty four hours it is.”

Amarante tried to get him to reconsider. “Can’t I have the forty eight hours?” she implored gloomily.

The great Hoshigaki shook his head. “Nope you wanted twenty four so you got it. I’d get started if I were you” he beckoned; Amarante was quick to take him up on his suggestion.

“Right well here goes” she said aloud to no one in particular whilst forming hand signs. She then focused a large amount of chakra into her throat and spat forth a stream of water; however all that the additional chakra did was increase the speed the stream surged out, it didn’t help increase the waters volume at all.

The Great Hoshigaki spoke once again. “Don’t let it get to you, just keep trying.”

Amarante brushed him off. “Yeah, yeah whatever, it’s not like I’m going to give up so soon” she proclaimed, forming another set of hand signs and casting another stream of water with an insufficient source of water. “ I mean I’ve only really just started, I’ve got loads of time.”

She then flipped through another set of hand signs, and another, and another all of her attempts failing to produce the effect she was hoping for. She grunted in frustration but kept on going with her attempts. She wasn’t going to learn this jutsu by complaining now was she.

Forming the hand signs for another attempt at the jutsu, Amarante tried moulding her chakra in a different way and spat forth another stream of chakra to no positive result.

Every time she tried the technique all she’d do was spew out a stream of chakra which wouldn’t work how she wanted it to, it’d just splash into the ground and kick up some mud, it was really annoying, she would have to take a bath after this before she did anything else.

As she formed the hand signs and spat forth another unsuccessful attempt, The Great Hoshigaki spoke up. “Well I’ve got to run into town for a little bit, I need to pick up for our dinner so I’ll be gone for a little while” he informed her.

“Huh what do you mean our dinner?” Amarante asked confusion evident in her tone. “Have you decided that I’d be dinning with you already huh?” she jeered in mock aggravation.

The Great Hoshigaki rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. “Well it’s just that I’m beginning to enjoy cooking for you is all” he claimed with a smile on his face. “Either way I’m out of here, don’t kill yourself” he then warned walking into the tree line and disappearing from sight.

‘That guy really likes to cook’ Amarante internally mused whilst forming hand signs. She focused her chakra once again in her throat, trying to condense it in a way and spewed forth another stream of water which also failed to increase in volume after she had cast it.

“Damn it” Amarante cursed, angry with the jutsu. She took a moment to go over her methods and decide if she was messing up or if it was her inexperience with the technique which was holding her back.

She went over her hands signs; it was possible she was messing them up. “No Hoshigaki would have commented on them if I was” she rationalised, moving on. She then moved onto her building up chakra. Was it possible that she wasn’t using enough chakra? “No I would have seen some sort of small result either way” which lead her to believe one last thing.

She wasn’t building up her chakra properly; it was all that she had left. Now not building her chakra could mean a lot of different things to her. She could be initially building the chakra incorrectly, she could be timing her chakra release incorrectly, she could be infusing her chakra with her saliva incorrectly and there were probably a lot more things she could be doing wrong that she couldn’t think of.

She had to slowly go through her technique again from the beginning to final result and try ‘feel out’ where she was going wrong. Forming the hand signs, Amarante was confident that she wasn’t going wrong there; she then built up her chakra, directing it to her throat.

She felt a little uncomfortable with that movement so she stopped there and started again. She felt as though that was wrong somehow but how? She asked herself. She tried building up her chakra differently, in a more condensed way this time in comparison to the stream she was forming before.

She felt that this way was a little more comfortable then what she was doing before in relation to the jutsu though it was a little more uncomfortable in relation to her own self comfort, it made her throat a lot tinglier and it was border line ticklish.

Moving ahead with the jutsu now, she cast out the jutsu, spewing forth another stream of chakra. This time however a more positive outcome occurred and the water she spat began to build and doubled in volume. In relation to the Great Hoshigaki’s jutsu this was still very far from being mastered but still progress was progress and she was happy she had made some.

Happy with the progress she had made, Amarante cast out another stream of water that mirrored the streams she spat out just a moment ago and once again doubled in volume upon release.

She was proud of herself for the progress she had made and as such held some more confidence in herself but she was far from finished yet. Amarante’s technique was only able to create a rather large puddle but she could swear that The Great Hoshigaki’s jutsu could knock off and entire block of houses.

She had a long way to go and her time was running out, she had to improve this jutsu within a day if she wanted to get that lightning jutsu teacher so she’d have to work hard, possibly harder then she ever had before.

Forming the hand signs once more, she focused on condensing as much chakra within her throat as possible and when she thought she had done enough to show some improvement she cast the jutsu once again. The jutsu spouted forth and expanded in volume but once again only doubling in said volume.

“Damn mustn’t have been enough” she said aloud to herself, forming more hand signs and casting the jutsu again. This time she tried condensing even more chakra in her throat, to a point of complete discomfort but still the result was that the jutsu only doubled in volume and didn’t go beyond that point.

Thinking of possible reasons as to why this was happening, Amarante thought that maybe it was just that the water could only contain a certain amount of chakra she pondered. If that was the case then she’d probably just have to extend the amount of time she spent casting the jutsu, focusing more chakra into a larger volume of water to begin with.

That was easier thought then done though, she was already casting the jutsu for a rather long time, it would be hard for her to increase the time she spent on the jutsu but she had to give it a shot, The Great Hoshigaki cast his jutsu for a longer time then what she did after all.

Forming the required hand signs, Amarante focused on her ability to maintain a constant stream of chakra whilst also quickly condensing the chakra stream into the water she would spit out which was really as difficult as it sounded.

Casting the jutsu, Amarante spat out a constant stream of water which upon release built up and increased in volume to the degree of two times and a half. She had made some progress but she still wasn’t done yet. In contrast toe The Great Hoshigaki’s it was still far from complete and so she maintained the water flow trying to match it.

Soon the time limit in association with the Great Hoshigaki’s had expired and she still had hardly a fraction of the water he did so she maintained the jutsu for a length of time that was a noticeable difference longer then Hoshigaki’s and no matter how hard she tried she quickly had to drop the jutsu.

She had probably produced enough water to flood the backyard of probably one house but still it wasn’t enough water by far.

The Great Hoshigaki chose this moment to return, a brown paper bag of shopping on his person. “So how goes the training girl?” he asked as he approached. Taking note of the water and mud surrounding the area he continued. “Well if you keep this up you’re sure to drown the trees you know.”

Disregarding the comment, Amarante walked over to the large blue man and spoke. “I’m doing something wrong, tell me what.”

The Great Hoshigaki looked on at Amarante in confusion. “Yeah right just let me put these down away from here aye” he said to her, moving away from the area, selecting a good looking spot and forming a shadow clone to begin setting up and cooking.

Coming back, Amarante repeated her demand. “I’m doing something wrong, tell me what it is” she barked, a stern look on her face.

The Great Hoshigaki was a little disgruntled. “Right well how about you show me how you’re trying the technique and then maybe I’ll be able to help” he ushered; Amarante in response turned away from him and formed the hand signs. ‘Jeez she’s really nice today’ the blue man internally mused to himself.

Amarante focused her chakra, imbedding it all in her throat while continuing to charge more. She then let out an intensified stream of chakra which was quick to increase in volume and covered a rather large area, tripling in mass this time but still was rather a small amount of water once again comparing it with Hoshigaki’s.

The Great Hoshigaki watched Amarante as she cast the jutsu and then inspected the remnants of the technique. Putting a finger to his chin in thought he asked Amarante to perform the jutsu again. “Hey do me a favour and perform it again. I can’t work it out exactly but you’re right something is going wrong at some point.”

‘So I was right’ Amarante internally thought. Something is going wrong within her technique. Forming the hand signs again she once again concentrated the technique in her throat and spat forth another stream of water which once again tripled in volume.

When she finished the technique, she looked to The Great Hoshigaki for an answer. “So you figured it out?” she asked him in question.

The Great Hoshigaki was still having trouble though. “I can’t see it sorry but I know there is something going wrong with that technique. How about you talk me through what you’re doing and then maybe I can help you” he suggested, Amarante nodded in consent.

“Sure” she shrugged. “Well I go through the hand signs and begin to focus my chakra, and then I direct it to my throat-” The Great Hoshigaki stopped her mid sentence.

“There’s your problem” he proclaimed confusing Amarante. The blonde girl then looked up to him in uncertainty, ushering for him to continue. “You’re focusing the chakra into your throat, that’s why its not gushing like it’s supposed to. You’re supposed to focus it in your gullet.”

Bewildered, Amarante voiced her confusion. “But aren’t the gullet and the throat the same thing?” she asked.

The Great Hoshigaki responded albeit vaguely. “Sort of, the gullet is sorter deeper then that. Follow the windpipe down and you’ll find it easy enough though.” Amarante was still confused however though the Great Hoshigaki stopped her from asking anymore questions. “Just try focusing your chakra a little deeper then before and see what happens.”

With nothing better to try, Amarante agreed to the mans suggestion and then focused her chakra ‘deeper’ to where she guessed her gullet would be. It was a lot more comfortable then when she focused her chakra in her throat so it was at least a win in that area.

When she cast the jutsu though, she was really shocked with the result. Water spewed forth from her mouth at a much faster rate and denser thickness. The water quickly spewed forth and quickly grew to a size twice as large as any she’d spat forth before.

“There we go, that’s a little better now isn’t it?” The Great Hoshigaki remarked, Amarante nodded in agreement, that little detail really helped her out.

Amarante stared in awe of what she had just completed. She really had increased her techniques ability by quite a lot and all she had to do was focus her chakra into her gullet? It was so much better then what she had been doing before.

The Great Hoshigaki spoke up. “When I was teaching myself this jutsu I was focusing water in my throat ass well” he admitted. “That’s why it took me two whole days to get it, luckily for you though you have me to help you along so you should most likely be able to master this jutsu pretty soon so your lightning style teacher will be a guarantee aye?”

Amarante turned to face The Great Hoshigaki, her eyes still a little wide from shock. She had actually forgotten about that for a moment, too surprised with the rapid increase in her techniques ability to remember or even process basic thoughts properly.

Forming the hand signs once again, Amarante tried the jutsu once more taking another guess as to where the gullet would be. She was closer then she thought she would have been with that last attempt but she didn’t think that she had found it properly yet so she tried focusing her chakra even deeper this time in an attempt to locate it.

The outcome was that she was able to produce even more water when she cast the jutsu this time, equal to that of almost half of the Great Hoshigaki’s variation although she still thought that she wasn’t directly in the gullet as of yet so she tried once again focusing her chakra even deeper.

She formed the hand signs, built her chakra and then spewed forth another wave of chakra though this time the techniques water creation was even smaller then the last attempt proving that she had over jumped the hurdle a little bit and egging her on to try and find a half way point of some sort between the positions of chakra building.

Once again taking a guess as to where the gullet was, a little higher then her last attempt but still deeper then the one before it, she formed the hand signs and focused her chakra once more. The water purged from her body like a raging stream of death and proudly broke the bonds of her previous attempts.

Its volume was almost equal to that of three quarters of the Great Hoshigaki’s technique and it quickly swept through the trees within the forest and made its way back down to the river/lake side where Amarante had started to train the jutsu but since moved away from because of the water created by her attempts.

She smirked, she had found the gullet and now all she had to do was increase her proficiency with the technique and she’d have mastered the jutsu earning her not only a powerful jutsu but a teacher that would be able to help her with the lightning release.

The Great Hoshigaki spoke up, drawing Amarante from her thoughts. “Well now that you’re okay to go on by yourself I’m going to get to work on our dinner, I’m not exactly relaxed letting a clone do all the work I mean what if it accidentally cuts itself or something, it’d just disappear in a cloud of smoke and the food would be left unprotected!”

Amarante shook her head at the mans antiques as he back into the tree lines and disappeared from sight. He was always more concerned with food then with her and her training. It made her a little sad to think that he would much rather have something to eat then spend time training her but she moved on quickly enough. It wasn’t as though she actually enjoyed spending time with him anyway.

Forming the hand signs, Amarante focused her chakra into her gullet, compounding it over and over again until she let it explode from her mouth in the form of a raging torrent. The water quickly expanded in volume and to her best guess was equal to that of eighty percent of the Great Hoshigaki’s making her just a little bit closer to her target.

Rolling her shoulders, Amarante took evaluation of her remaining chakra supply. It was running a little low but it should still be adequate for a while yet so preparing herself once more she cast the jutsu again.

Forming the hand signs required, Amarante focused her chakra into her gullet, compressing it within the water she created and cast forth another great torrent of water.

The water quickly expanded in volume and gushed all around the area, slamming into trees and eventually began to rush into the river/lake that was a little while down the track. The whole flow of water equalled to water Amarante guessed as about ninety percent of Hoshigaki’s which brought a slight smile to her face.

Something unusual happened when she cast the jutsu this time though. Once the water expanded and she finished spewing it forth, it sort of moved to her feet, giving Amarante the feel of lift but it quickly died down so the blonde ignored it for now and then cast the jutsu again.

She cast the jutsu once more, water quickly expanding and releasing from her gullet having been compressed with chakra. The water flowed all around once again, slamming into trees, getting the ground all muddy and then emptying into the river/lake having created an amount of about ninety five percent of that of the Great Hoshigaki’s.

This time however, Amarante knew for sure that the water beneath her was trying to lift her up. It pushed her five feet off the ground before receding back into the water line and leaving Amarante confused as to why it was happening.

“What’s it doing that for?” she questioned aloud to herself. It was really weird that it was doing this, Amarante really had no idea what to make of it but the Great Hoshigaki was quick to answer her.

“It’s trying to lift you up” the blue man announced, resting against a tree stirring some kind of batter within a large bowl. “Remember when I cast the jutsu before? Well I wasn’t using some kind of jutsu to make that happen, that was part of the technique.”

That really made sense; Amarante was wondering why the man did that before instead of just creating a tornado of water as that was the jutsu that they were also speaking of when the man brought the technique up. The Great Hoshigaki continued.

“The wave create gives the technique an offensive feel and how the user rides the wave makes them intimidating, something you really need to have short stuff” The Hoshigaki teased, still stirring his bowl. “The Jutsu is called the Water Collision Waves technique so it’s not to farfetched that it would try and pick you up to surf it.”

Amarante nodded in understanding. It really would be a good technique to learn so she listened as the Great Hoshigaki continued. “You’re not producing enough water as of now for it to lift you all the way up and once you get up their you’ll have to learn how to surf it using the walk on water technique or something so yeah just work on creating more water and then you should be good to go.”

The large man beckoned for her to give it another shot whilst still stirring, Amarante was quick to do so and turned away from him and formed the hand signs.

She then focused on building as much chakra as she could within her gullet, more so then her last attempts at the jutsu, she really needed to learn this technique it seemed to good to be true. She then spat forth a surge of water; the water in turn expanded in volume and began to form waves.

The water quickly rushed under Amarante’s feet and picked her up, beginning to sweep her away. She was wobbly at first when the wave formed beneath her but she quickly gained her footing and was riding the wave as best she could towards the river/lake.

It was a great feeling to have, riding the wave like that but when it hit the water it quickly died down, mixing with the already present water and collapsing under her feet. The Great Hoshigaki was quick to call out to her once she landed atop the water.

“That was Great, now how about you come and give me a hand with the cooking, I’ll only need your help for a minute and then you can go back to doing whatever” he informed her, Amarante was quick to agree.

She was really happy that she had performed the jutsu and was ready to agree to pretty much anything, the rush of adrenaline within her egging her on.

(OOC: This took a while to complete but yeah I got bored waiting for Solus to update the event so I thought hey why don’t I just train some more.)

Reiki Mizu (Aura of Water)
Rank: C, B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Utilizing a water source, one emits a large area with extremely high humidity; almost mist. Lowers the power of katon jutsus used within the area.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: A water source must be used, because one is adding water to the air around them. Effects all katon jutsu including ones own and their teammates. Only last five rounds before it must be reapplied. A fuuton attack just one rank higher can blow the Reiki Mizu completely away.
Description: Using a near by water source, one evaporates the liquid into a clear mist. This mist leaks into the surrounding air creating an area with extremely high moisture levels. If one would walk through it on a hot summer day, it would feel pleasant and refreshing. The point of the jutsu however is to protect one from katon based attacks. Any Katon based techniques created in or sent into the Reiki Mizu will automatically be lowered a rank. If one continues to learn the B rank version, katon attacks will be lowered two ranks. This is the limit of the jutsu however. Any more water in the surrounding air would be to difficult to handle, becoming too heavy and falling to the ground. The size of area in which the Reiki Mizu spans depends on the ninja's rank. At D rank it covers a 20 meter radius around the source of water. Every rank it increases by ten. S rank maxing at a 60 meter radius.
Limit: Suiton Release.

Amarante and The Great Hoshigaki sat around a small camp fire, eating some beer battered fish that the Great Hoshigaki had whipped up while Amarante was hard at work learning the water collision wave’s technique. The surrounding area was punished for her learning the technique though and it was fairly flooded.

Stretching out her legs, Amarante shuddered when she saw a flicker of metal enter her scope of vision and her shield of water technique kick in to deflect the incoming projectile. Upon further investigation, the metal projectile was a kunai and upon even further investigation she discovered that the Great Hoshigaki was the one who threw it.

Raising an eye brow Amarante asked the Great Hoshigaki what the hell was up, the large blue man sitting there with a smile upon his face. “I just wanted to see if that thing still worked” he chuckled in mock. “Just wanted to make sure you weren’t getting lazy.”

Amarante smiled in return. “I’ve been training with you everyday for a while now” she retorted. “If I’m getting lazy it is your fault, not mine.” She then fell back into renaissance of when she learnt the technique. “Ah the water of shield technique” she began. “Activates automatically, can dispel small jutsu as well as C ranked or below fire style jutsu, sigh if there was only a just that could lower the rank of a fire type jutsu, then I’d be unstoppable granted my opponent used fire style.”

The Great Hoshigaki pipped up. “Actually there is one particular jutsu that can do just that” he informed the girl. “And it just so happens that I know how to use it.”

Amarante’s attention was expertly taken. Her teacher knew how to use a jutsu that could lower the rank of an opposing technique? She had to have it! “What is it? Teach it to me!” she then questioned and demanded any patience within her gone.

The Great Hoshigaki chided her. “Easy girl easy” he beckoned, trying to take a breath. “The techniques called the aura of water technique. What you do is evaporate a water source and channel it into a short of mist; the mist then gets enveloped into the surrounding air creating an area with extremely high moisture levels.”

“Basically any fire based techniques created in or sent into the Reiki Mizu, the aura of water, will automatically be lowered a rank so a B ranked fire jutsu would be turned into a C ranked one which the shield of water would be able to defend against” he continued. The Great Hoshigaki after speaking began to lie on the ground.

“As for teaching it to you…” he slowly began, scratching himself. “Ah give me a little while okay?” Amarante scowled.

“Yeah and you call me lazy!” she bellowed forming hand signs and casting the pressure jet technique to get the large man up off of the ground. “Now teach me that damn technique!” she bellowed, annoyed that he would call her lazy and then do that.

The large Hoshigaki stood on his feet, wet now from being blind sided by a raging pulse of water. “Alright, alright I’ll teach you the damn technique just hold on a minute damn” he whined, Amarante wasn’t sympathetic of his situation though. He had put himself into the position he was in and as he tried to shake himself dry, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright then we might as well use the water you’ve so graciously given the trees to drink” he mocked, forming some hand signs. The air around them then became thick and Amarante could see the beginnings of a mist and the air she was breathing became a little moistened.

“It’s similar to the hidden mist jutsu” The Great Hoshigaki informed her, drawing her attention. “You shouldn’t have too much trouble learning it so give it a shot.”

Amarante nodded her head in confirmation and when the jutsu died down she gave it a shot herself. She formed the required hand signs and evaporated the water from the neighbouring water supply. The water then became enveloped in the air and thickened and when Amarante could breathe in moistened air, she knew she had completed the jutsu. “Got it” she announced, the Great Hoshigaki commenting.

“Great… You can now successfully perform the aura of water technique thirty centimetres in front of your face. Congratulations” he jeered, Amarante blushed in return. Embarrassing.

Amarante was still blushing and the Great Hoshigaki in return began to laugh. “Hahaha you really thought you had it for a moment there didn’t you?” he mocked, Amarante just brushed him off however.

“Yeah, yeah shut up” Amarante shouted in retort. “I messed it up just this once but you’ll see, I’ll get it easy the next time I try it” she boasted proudly, The Great Hoshigaki wasn’t so sure however.

“Yeah, yeah whatever you say girl and hey maybe I’ll grow wings and fly away” the large, mean man teased. It brought about a sense of nostalgia to Amarante though, to a time when she was in a park and seen a girl with wings walk towards the Hokage’s office.

“You know…” she slowly began. “I think I’ve seen a girl with wings once…” she said aloud not really addressing the blue man before her but at the same time not, not addressing him.

The Great Hoshigaki then scratched his head in thought, all sense of smugness gone from his face as he thought Amarante’s statement over. “Ah yeah I think that there’s some sort of clan with some of those guys in it” he supposed but quickly shook his head of the thought. “But that’s not important right now, what is important is that you master that technique now hop to it!” he instructed, apparently now taking an interest in her training.

“Alright geez I’ll get to it” she assured the man, forming hand signs. The jutsu had already faded from her last attempt so she could try again unhindered. The water around her began to evaporate and vaporise, quickly getting sucked into the air surrounding her.

Eventually it became something similar to a mist but not as deep and it was at this moment that she asked the Great Hoshigaki to comment on how she was doing. “So how’s this try? Is this good enough?”

The Great Hoshigaki looked it over and then gave it a failing grade. “No this one only goes out to about ten meters. You need to stretch it out to about thirty for this jutsu to be at all useful” he informed her. “Right now a jutsu would lower in strength if it was cast within the aura but its just to small a field that the technique can’t be used to it’s full potential. Do you understand?”

Amarante nodded her head. She knew what the Great Hoshigaki was talking about, she had the same problem with her sonar technique so she awaited for the jutsu to die down so she could try again. Making small talk while she waited though, she asked the Hoshigaki about his skin. “SO were you born with that skin or what?”

The Great Hoshigaki shook his head. “No there is a ritual one must complete in order to become like me, the benefits of the ritual being that our bodies become much stronger.”

Amarante was impressed. “Anyway that I could undergo this ritual?” she enquired, the Great Hoshigaki once again shaking his head.

“No you have the lightning release don’t you?” Amarante nodded. “Then you can’t, Hoshigaki clan members can’t use lightning style because it conflicts with our water affinity. It’s not by choice that we can’t perform it, it’s just that we’re unable and if you learn it before taking the ritual, you’d probably die.”

Amarante became nervous. She definitely wasn’t going to learn the jutsu in that case, she really happened to like being alive and she didn’t want to die anytime soon so it was probably best that she didn’t undergo that ritual.

The jutsu then died down and Amarante was once again granted the opportunity to try the jutsu once more. “Third times the charm right?” she joked before forming the hand signs, earning a slight chuckled from the Hoshigaki.

She cast the jutsu, evaporating the water surrounding her and infusing it once again in the air. She pushed it out away from her, trying to gain some distance for the techniques length and when she thought she had pushed it far enough she asked the Great Hoshigaki his opinion. “How’s that?”

The Great Hoshigaki in return smiled. “Thirty meters” he announced, bringing a smile to Amarante’s face.

(OOC: Yeah fire style jutsu uses beware, I be ready for you now
