Akiko sat in the shade of a tree, staring up at the sky through emerald leaves. Tsukasa, her foster mother, stood not far off. Akiko watched as Tsukasa performed some handseals. She couldn't recognize the jutsu from the handseals.
But the effect was obvious. A large number of birds flew in from the surrounding area. Birds of all size landed all around her, on the ground an in the trees. Smaller ones landed on Tsukasa herself. And she began to sing. She sung an aria, and the song birds that had gathered provided a song of their own.
Akiko saw the birds didn't land to close to her. It hurt a little, but she could figure why. But she had never seen this jutsu performed. maybe...I should try it too... Akiko tried to duplicate the handseals, and tried to follow with the proper chakra manipulation.
But duplicating by observation was harder than it looked. "Hehe," Tsukasa had ceased her song and now giggled at her charge. Surprisingly girly, Akiko thought. Her face turned red, "W-what?"
"The handseals are like this," Tsukasa repeated her handseals, slower this time. Slow enough for Akiko to follow along. Akiko did her best to duplicate the chain of handseals.
"Good, now..." Tsukasa began to explain how the jutsu worked, creating a particular harmonic resonance in the air that attracts birds of all sorts and sizes. Akiko had the sound release, And had mastered the lightning release, of which both involved vibrations, though sound used more.
So it wasn't a completely alien concept to generate sound waves that could attract birds.
Akiko leaned back against the tree and absentmindedly repeated the handseals as Tsukasa returned to her song. How to generate the harmonics? The easy answer was sound release. But it might be useful to add in lightning release to add a second layer of control.
But the handseals didn't point to either. They were close to sound release handseals though, so maybe the medium was sound. How had she worked it? Didn't she sing as the birds came? Maybe that's it, maybe you put chakra into your voice, subtly altering it to attract the birds. The theory was sound.
But she wasn't very good at singing. Nor did she know many songs. Either way, Akiko, despite her disadvantages, performed her handseals and channelled her chakra into her vocal cords. They would make a better medium to focus her molded chakra into than to hurriedly mold and force it into the sound itself. Yes, she could put it into the air, but when the sound vibrated it, it could disrupt the chakra. But putting it into the vocal cords would allow it to be put into the vibrations themselves.
So Akiko performed the handseals and allowed the chakra in her body to flow into the jutsu's framework, and from the framework into her vocal cords, taking the unfulfilled potential jutsu with it. Next, Akiko chose a song from her very limited library. And she began to sing.
"Boku wa minna, ikiteru. . ." the song she chose was 'Boku wa Minna', 'We Are All Alive'. It was one of the very few songs she knew, and also one of the first elementary school children learn. She placed the tip of her outstretched hand on her sternum, imitating what she saw her legal guardian do.
