Today was one of the greatest days in Kaori‘s life. She has finally started her training with her older brother. It was the first time in her life when Ray took her in a very beautiful field. Although the sun was shining, birds were singing but Kaori had a bad feeling about something. She was tense and nervous.

Finally, something weird had started. Kaori didn’t notice how sky became dark red and her brother suddenly had gone from the field. A wooden board pressed her back and shiny metal chains locked her hands. The wooden board started to move in a deep large grave which was decorated with white lilies and kingcups. Kaori was gently put on the bottom of the grave.

Two shadows had come and started to burry the grave. Small lumps of ground fell on Kaori’s head, hairs, all body. Her heart was beating so fast that the gal could feel how blood was flowing into heart. The girl started to scream but those two shadows were laughing.

In a few minutes she was buried. Kaori couldn’t breathe; she barely could move her legs because the ground was too heavy. The girl’s nose was full of dusks so every breath brought more dirt in her lungs. She couldn’t open her mouth because if she did it, the ground would fill her mouth. Kaori was in panic because she was buried alive. Her soul abandoned her slowly. Every second lasted like one hour. Now she understand how painful was to be buried alive. If you ever try to torture you enemy, you should bury him or her alive.

Before a few seconds of her death, it seemed that Kaori woke up from a horrible nightmare. She knelt in front white flower which looked like lily. The gal was trembling of fear and horror but the girl was satisfied that she finally can breathe. She looked at her brother who was calm and self-confident about those actions. Kaori find out that this jutsu was his work but she had no idea why Ray used it against her.

‘Once you survive this jutsu, you can master it. It’s the main point of Genjutsu. You must face the greatest fears of yours because only then you can understand what you opponent feels’ said Ray and looked at sister. ‘And I guess in this way you break the opponent’s spirit and disbalance his further actions in the battle field’ added Kaori and turned her eyes away from her bother. ‘Indeed. Okay, we have talked too much. Now you should practice this jutsu on me. You must use handseals and concentrate a lot. Get it, you little scary kitty?’

Kaori felt a bit nervous about this jutsu. Her brother was one hundred percent right because fear disbalance people and it’s quite difficult to reach the harmony again. There was no time to meditate because the training had already started. Kaori tried to focus and used handseals but her hands were still shaking. Her thoughts were far way under the tons of kilos of ground.

It seemed that Kaori did everything perfectly but her brother stood calm like a tree. She knew that she hadn’t done anything to Ray because the person’s look must be different when he or she faces the fear. The girl looked into brother’s eyes and she saw absolutely nothing.

[Kaori]

The girl tried to calm down herself by thinking about the latest book which she read but it was all useless. Kaori was trying to repeat the same jutsu once again but no noticeable effect she couldn’t see. The gal thought of the possibility that her brother was blocking this jutsu on purpose but this possibility seemed just simply unreal.

Kaori wanted to go somewhere near water but she also didn’t wanted to ruin this training. The only way was to go further and think of something to calm her mind down. At first she was trying to think of some meditation methods. Later on, she was even trying to block her thoughts and think of nothing. Finally, she came up with a brilliant idea.

The girl remembered one little kid who was hurt and scared by a black cat. The child was crying because his arm was in pain and it was bleeding. However, after a few moments the kid had forgotten the pain, his bleeding arm and the black kitty because he saw a new target. It was a box of chocolate in the store so he asked his grandma to buy. At first the old woman refused to spend money on something sweet but the kiddo was too persistent and finally he reached his goal. After a few minutes the little stranger mouth was dirty because he didn’t learn how to eat chocolate and majority of brown mass was on little boy’s hands and mouth.

Kaori remembered violin music which she used to listen when she was little. The dramatic music of violin reminded waving of ocean. She averted her mind from her greatest fear and music filled her thoughts. While music was playing in her mind, the girl managed to concentrate. Her small but quick fingers used handseals. Kaori looked at her brother. The girl noticed that he wasn’t the same.

Ray was standing and didn’t move. He could barely breathe. His face seemed to be sweating. He was trembling of some unexplainable reason. Maybe the jutsu has finally worked? Kaori watched every single move of her brother but he stood at the same place. The only thing what Kaori missed was her brother’s scared eyes. His eyes were calm as always. So he must be pretending. As a ninja he is great actor, as an actor he is pathetic. Well, since ninja must be a very good actor he still is pathetic.

Kaori threw kunai straight to Ray’s shoulder. Sadly, the guy jumped to the left and smiled a bit. ‘It worked, little scary kitty. Well, since I was prepared for it, it was not such a big dead to release it. But now you have another task. We will go to the city and you must find a person which will be forced to face his greatest fear. And you will be the one who must do it.’ The little gal wasn’t happy about this idea but training is training.

[Kaori]

A couple was watching sunset. The girl was laughing and the guy was about to give something special. However, suddenly thick mist hided sun, grass and all distant objects. The couple was even more confused when they saw a weird girl who looked like a widow. The black dressed girl smiled and started to use some unknown handseals. Sadly, there wasn’t any effect.

Meanwhile Kaori’s brother was watching that absurd circus. He seemed to be happy that his little sister fallowed all the orders. He didn’t notice that the girl who was standing in front the couple was just a simple clone and the whole mist trick was only a cover for hiding in the place which could be perfect to perform a new jutsu.

After a few minutes of continuing drama in the mist three people sill were standing there. It should be Kaori, and the couple. However, the real Kaori was standing in behind her brother, using handseals as fast as possible. She felt that her concentration level is higher than usual and her chakra is floating very fast through all her body. Her fingers emitted more warmth than usual. It’s the first time when something like this is happening. Looking at her brother from a back, Kaori was investigating brother’s movements. He seemed to be very different from the beginning or even when he performed his fear.

Leaving the tree which was hiding her, the girl moved a few steps closer to her brother. She saw that his eyes had changed; it was full of fear. She looked closer and she saw a few fears on the eye corners. This isn’t acting. Kaori released the mist, the clone which was near couple and the genjustu. The circus was more or less over. The girl listened whispers of couple about this accident but soon it was over. They probably went somewhere else.

Ray was looking at her sister like in the greatest torturing machine. It seemed that the guy was forced to go to a cold shower and was kept there for more than two hours. The guy was still trembling and he seemed to be lack of control. It was weird to see the other person who had just faced his greatest fear. However, Kaori was proud of herself because she managed to match her old techniques with this new genjutsu technique. ‘I can believe that you really thought that I could use people as some rats for simple experiment. Sadly, some people have their own head and they use it. Besides, look at the bright side. Your younger sister did well her duty. I mean not training but over smarting you. So who is a scary kitty now?’ Kaori said proudly.

Ray seemed to be not very happy about this incident. However, both quietly had to admit the fact that they are very different people but they can learn from each other very fast.

I never blink

Walking through deceptive narrow streets, Kaori and Ray stayed quiet. None of them hadn’t said any word; they had an argument recently. However, it didn’t change the fact that both should continue their training.

Finally, they had reached an old derelict house. Her brother came first, forgetting the rule that girls must go first. He widely opened the doors, allowing seeing the old wooden chair in front weird painted wooden column. Kaori walked to the house and looked everything more closely. There were four small windows in every wall, old wooden ceiling and floors. But the most screaming out at Kaori’s eyes was the huge mess in a house. It seemed that this building hadn’t seen broom for more than ten years.

Her brother was standing near the chair and gave a slight cough just to attract sister’s attention. ‘Now you see chair and target. You will sit in the chair and stare in that target. You will stare there like in a creep. Oh, I almost forgot. You can blink once in a minute. When you do this about 15 times in a row, then we will be able to talk. Have fun.’ She saw how Ray hurried somewhere and left here in this appalling house.

Kaori gently touched the chair which was full of motes. She cleaned enormously large layer of motes from the seat and later she sat there. She looked at the target, which was marked as a huge water drop. The ocean girl liked that little mark because of the blue color. That’s enough. It cannot be that difficult to look at the target once in a minute; confidingly thought Kaori and, sadly, she was wrong.

First ten seconds was the easiest. The further twenty seconds was painful like a hell. It seemed that her eyes are getting drier and she automatically blinked. But the result of this training was seen. More she tried, more she could stay with open eyes. It took three hours doing nothing (almost nothing); just staring and looking at the blue spot on the wooden column but, sadly, the longest time without blinking was about forty seconds. Kaori just simply didn’t make go further because her eyes just simply didn’t listen to her and blinked.

The wooden doors opened and Ray came inside. ‘How’s the training going?’ guy talked sarcastically. Apparently he wanted to bite his sister a little bit because he was sure that Kaori had failed her training this time. ‘It didn’t go as good as I expected.’ Kaori closed her eyes which were tired of staring at the same blue spot. When she closed her eyes, she felt more relaxed. Also she felt that she can hear more sounds which were unknown to her. She heard how wind was blowing through wooden door’s gasps, how bird was singing some drunken song (probably hard times for that little creature), how cat was meowing somewhere (probably because of pain).

[Kaori]

Ray interrupted this moment of peace with his voice and Kaori was forced to open her eyes. ‘The point is, you can’t open your eyes for a very long time. Only a very superior person can do this. As we can see, you are not an exception here. So, today our training is about concentrating chakra into your eyes. Since you can concentrate chakra in your body parts like hands or foots, you can also make flow your chakra into your eyes. Try this and later on you are going to tell me what effect was. See you later.’ The guy loudly had closed the doors and went away. Again.

Kaori felt miserable since she hadn’t thought about this possibility. However, there was no time for regrets, it was time for working. The girl started to concentrate her chakra in her eyes but was useless. She knew that she had skipped some important part.

The girl came up with more interesting idea. At first she used handseals and tried to sense her chakra floating. At first she felt how her chakra flows from her body in one direction. Later on it seemed that chakra combined and created some floating river in her arms. Finally it appeared in her hands. With the last sign she released chakra which created a thick mist all over the room. Release? Did I forget to release chakra? The girl released the mist from the house and started work again with chakra concentration in her eyes.


She did the same trick like she did before. The girl tried to make her charka flow in a bit different direction; her eyes. Just like it was before chakra seemed to be combined and one huge sea of chakra was floating right into her eyes. The girl released it and looked at the target. The blue point on a wooden column seemed to be way different because it had changed its color. From now on that target can be called sweet little strawberry; red. Kaori was looking in a target for a very long time and she didn’t blink. She felt proud of herself that she finally managed to do this.

The girl had a feeling that Ray may return after an hour. She sat in a corner which was also covered with motes and various trash but Kaori didn’t care. She wanted to rest her eyes a bit because it was still in pain. It would be nice to take a nap but, sadly, I can’t. Kaori was enjoying every minute of peace with her eyes closed. She stayed for one more hour resting and saving strength for the further challenge.

Promptly Ray had returned. He seemed to be quite well punched in the face but thank goodness he was alive. The guy was still smiling because he saw that the target had changed its color. ‘So resting? Huh? Clever.’ Ray sat next to his sister because he seemed to be tired. Probably bruising under his eye will be a very nice decoration for more or less a week. ‘Now you know how to release chakra into your eyes. The only thing which you must do right now is to use handseals. In this way you will be able to control chakra in your eyes like you were doing it with your hands or feet. However, you will see that this is not as easy as it looks. Okay, I guess it will be more useful for you to read about this jutsu. I’m not in the mood to explain it.'

The guy dropped the book about genjutsu right in front girl’s feet and then stood up and left. The girl took a closer look on the book. One page was marked and she immediately opened it. Seeing the picture of black crow, girl was quite surprised. She started to read about the jutsu which she had been preparing all this time. So my chakra is sending the impulses to the opponent’s brains but that the contact will be successful, I need to look at his or her eyes for two seconds. If I blink, I just simply block my chakra. Wait, what about staring part and doing nothing? I still didn't get it.

[20/40]

The girl was reading information in the book about this jutsu but still she couldn’t figure out the same thought; what was the part of staring at the target. However, Kaori hadn’t got any time for figuring out this piece of puzzle. She was concentrating chakra in her eyes again and this time she was using handseals.

Her hands seemed to be working differently. Everything was fine when chakra was floating to her hands because it was way more easily to manipulate chakra. Now it seemed that chakra in her eyes were doing whatever it wanted, hands didn’t directed the actions what it should do. If I cannot manipulate chakra in my eye, that means somewhere inside me suppose to be a chaos.

Kaori stoop up and to the book with her. The girl decided to leave this derelict house which was so strange and unpleasant for her (and for majority of people who are pedant, it would be horrible place). Closing the doors, Kaori looked again in the chair which seemed to be not like a training spot but a torturing place.

The ocean kid was walking through little forest which was barely visited by people. Kaori left her foot print in the little livery path. The gal didn’t care that somebody could trace her because of too obvious prints but Kaori didn’t care. She hurried to the little water source where she could relax and clear her mind.

Kaori finally came to a little springlet. The water around the source was so clear; you even could see little rocks in the bottom. The gal threw little smooth stone in the springlet. Watching how symmetrically little water waves were swimming through the top of the water, Kaori tried to understand the law of nature. She looked at the little rat, which was peacefully eating a grain, and a fox, which was waiting for a right moment to catch a rat. In a moment little rat squeaked in the fox’s muzzle. Everything is being done in its own succession. It helps to keep balance and harmony. When population of rats increases, the number of foxes increases as well. When rats are dying of starvation or illness, the fox are dying of starvation as well because they have no rats to eat.

Girl saw that in nature there is no rush. Everything is done slowly; waiting for a right moment and for a right place. Did I rush somewhere during the jutsu? Kaori stayed for a while and enjoyed peace. It seemed that nature can be way better teacher than people (especially older brothers). Kaori had made her decision; this was the last training where she needed her brother’s help.

[Kaori]

Finally Kaori had returned to the same old house. This time it seemed to be more hospitable. The girl sat in the same chair which now was clean because her dress probably had collected all the motes from it. She started to concentrate the chakra in her eyes. Kaori felt how gradually chakra pulsated through her eyes. Now it was time to use handseals.

She knew that finally she did the handseals in the right time. It looked like chakra was dancing by hand’s movements. Kaori also didn’t blink once during jutsu. She just stared at the target like in a creep which was stalking here for years. The small impulses of jutsu had finally reached the target and it started to change. At first it changed its color; black. Later on the target seemed to be more likely some animal. What is that? Kaori was still continuing jutsu. She could see a black beak, little grey body, black legs, tail and wings. The creature on the wall looked like crow.

The girl stopped the jutsu for a while. She started to think of usage of this jutsu in battle. Kaori wouldn’t be Kaori if she didn’t prank her brother. The girl put the chair near wooden column and sat there. Kaori’s head hid the black crow.

After very long and tedious waiting, Kaori had heard how handle crackled. The girl immediately concentrated chakra in her eyes released in and then started to use handseals as fast as possible. She felt she is getting better and better on this jutsu. And now… waiting. Her brother seemed to be punched even more in the face than he was before. His arm was bloody; probably he was hit by a huge chip or even a sword. Kaori came a little closer.

‘Seriously, what had happened? Have you seen how awful your face looks? Let me take a look!’ said Kaori quite angrily. She looked through violet brother’s cheek, slowly coming to yellow spot bellow an eye. Finally the girl looked right into Ray’s eyes and he seemed to be frozen. The girl took a few steps away and waited. 'So you have mastered it? And you used a jutsu against me? Again? Besides, I bet you didn’t figure out the part about staring. It was simply a bluff.’ said Ray when Kaori released the jutsu. ‘Bluff? You are learning fast. Finally you came up with some idea on pranking. However, I over smarted since little sisters must be smarter that brothers. Anyway, from now on, I’m training alone. Don’t get me wrong but I’d like to work on my own pace and without any pranks. Besides, don’t worry, I’ll still help you.’ She said calmly.

This time tension between brother and sister seemed to be gone. However, they didn’t look like brother and sister; more like acquaintances who were helping each other time after time. The distance between them was growing every day because brother was too busy with his fights and sister showed no interested in brother’s activities.

Don’t mess with little pigs!

From now on Kaori was training all alone (almost alone). The girl was asked an old woman to do a favor; dig some place where her pigs could enjoy the mud. However, Kaori came up with way better idea; she decided to train new jutsu on the farmers place because she wanted to avoid ravage of green fields.

The girl, carrying a small scroll, knocked into old woman’s door. The granny seemed to be quite happy that youth had finally visited her house. It seemed that the granny was even happier seeing a ninja of the Mist. The woman suggested some tea for Kaori but girl politely refused. The girl just asked where she can practice her mud jutsu technique. The old woman showed the way for Kaori.

A forest could be seen in the distance. A bit closer she could see a little garden. However, everything was separate with a huge fence; that was the place where she had to make a mud bath for pigs. Kaori opened the scroll which she carried with her. She looked very attentively through the information. Rat, Dog, Boar? That’s it? Kaori seemed to be very surprised about this jutsu. She slowly read the instructions, memorizing every single detail.

She felt ready although she was performing this jutsu for a first time in her life. Kaori concentrated started routine jutsu ritual. At first she concentrated on her mind. Later Kaori felt how huge chakra flush was coming through the whole body right into arms. When she used rat symbol, chakra completely reached her hands, fingers. It seemed that little ants are gently biting her hands.

Kaori used dog symbol. It seemed that she kept her hands somewhere underwater. Her little fingers added a boar sigh. She felt that her hands were as heavy as a stone. The gal straightened her fingers and slammed it one the ground. Actually, she even didn’t need to slam strongly because her hands seemed to be like a stone. Since stone was a huge part of ground, it magnetized each other like different poles so Kaori didn’t need to slam like an angry boar.

The ground seemed to be melting. You could even think that this was some mixture of clay and water because it was so thick that some people could sink there (of course it required some talent but talent is a must almost everywhere). Kaori seemed to be very proud of because she did this trick from the first try. Besides, after this jutsu her hands seemed to be normal weight.

The old woman came to take a closer look. She was quite satisfied with Kaori’s work. Granny was even happier that none of them won’t be bringing water and making more mud. All smiling, the old lady came to the little house where pigs were grunting. The lady opened the doors and flock of pigs run straight to the mud, sending Kaori spinning right into mud. Kaori’s dress, hair and ever shoes were dirty.

Kaori jumped as fast as possible from pigs company. She looked over her dirty dress, shoes. Look at the bright side! Mud bathing helps for the skin. Now I might be smooth!; the girl was trying to calm herself but it was useless.

After a half an hour washing, the girl said goodbye for the grandma who seemed to be sad that Kaori was leaving. It seemed that the old lady believed that there are some bonds between the ocean girl and her little pets. Sadly, it was absolute lie!
