-----тhe statement was unexpected, and I wasn't sure how to respond to it. Okay, so he had a twin brother. I didn't have any family I could relate to; I'd abandoned my relation to my parents when I renounced my surname. Only because there were complications in my existence as far as they were concerned and I didn't want to deal with it. I'd taken care of myself for most of my short life and I would continue to do so. But Samuru did have family back in Konoha, even closer to him than I could imagine. Well, it was a place to start. "Alright. So start there." Crossing my legs, I sat down with a sigh a few feet in front of the older jounin. This was going to take some time, but I was focused already, and calm, so I didn't mind. "I know you're not very talkative, but if you think it'll help, you can tell me about him."

[✠]Samuru looked up as Kaileer sat down, realizing what he'd said "...I only mentioned him because he's the only one I'm not angry at." he tried to explain, slipping his hands onto his ankles, bemusedly staring at the sky. Meditation through talking? That was a new one...."He's two seconds younger than I am." he blew some of the strands of hair from his face, thinking about Raki. The thought of his twin made his heart ache, painfully "Rakuin is...so much steel. He doesn't bend or break. He's not emotional nor does he go to extremes. If we didn't look the same....I don't think anyone would call us twins." as he thought about Raki and their life in Konoha, his chakra began to settle, his emotions leaning towards a calmer state.[✠]

-----ι wasn't entirely sure where this conversation was going, but I rolled with it. I'd never gotten the opportunity to express my concerns verbally like Samuru was now, so I couldn't be sure how it would work, but it seemed to be doing him some good. I was no sensor, so I couldn't see his chakra meaning any progress only he could see. So he had a twin brother that was basically the opposite of him despite how close together they were. That wasn't entirely unusual, not that I knew much about it. I gave the older jounin a small grin. "I guess I just don't know you well enough, but that description fits you pretty well from what I've seen." Aside from his mental breakdown at mentioning Jae, I hadn't seen much emotion out of him in general. But at least it seemed like not everything in Konoha had been a bad experience for him. He had family there he had left behind, something I could and couldn't understand. I'd never been close to my family after all.

[✠]Samuru let out a slight smirk at Kaileer's comment I lost a lot of who I was when I left Konoha....a lot of who I had become. he felt his chakra beginning to show positive signs of the meditation, the constant rushing that always hummed in the back of his mind dying to a low murmur. Perhaps it was stupid of him to attempt to converse with Kaileer, even....ridiculously sentimental. He kept his gaze downward now, focusing on some point in front of him "...you don't." his voice was a rough, nearly unintelligible hum, a cold response to a general statement. Not cruelly or intentionally rude as he had been but merely a stray remark that came out with more inflection than he intended. Too late to change it though and Samuru felt heavy, his head dropping slightly as he let his mind follow his chakra I suppose this is what it means to lose oneself? his eyes closed slightly, going to a half lid that nearly obscured his yellow/gray eyes which were partially covered by his hair. As he let his mind wander, he felt....what? A....rumble? His features frowned but other than that, nothing changed except that his chakra had stilled completely around him. His shoulders rotated, an automatic response to being still, and internally, his mind voiced a call "Matatabi." again, there was no outward display of what he was doing. To Kaileer, it would almost seem as if Samuru had fallen asleep.

-----ι frowned slightly at the remark, which I assumed was a response to the first half of my statement. But the older jounin's head bowed slightly as he focused on his chakra instead of speaking to me, and I knew he meant nothing my the chill of the words. The rest was for him to do. I pushed myself silently to my feet again, so as not to disturb him, and moved away, dusting off the back of my pants. While I waited for a response from the Nibi, I might as well get some training done, since I needed to stay nearby. -----Thinking about it, I had no idea what I was getting into. I doubted anything would get out of hand, but in the case it did, I had to have contact with Samuru for an extended amount of time for the Zama no Akuma to have an affect, and if this Bijuu has a history with Hakemoto... Well, it would probably try to stop me either way, but my life would be in danger. Heh. I guess that came with the job.

[✠]Samuru didn't react to Kaileer moving away, his head still bowed as he kept up the meditation. It was hard, sitting and not doing anything. His hands kept fidgeting and tapping at his knee, forcing him to pull them into fists. Even harder was getting his mind to focus on calling the demon with everything that was rolling around in his mind. He was still unsure about how to deal with the knowledge of Jae, his sudden and growing feelings of loneliness and this weird possible friendship that had happened. He sucked in his breath Stop. he shoved all the noise from his head and tried to focus on that center he'd felt earlier. Samuru wasn't sure how the demon felt...he'd been distracted and caught off guard when it was sealed. However...."Matatabi." he called again, rolling his shoulders to get his stress out.

[✠]Samuru's eyes opened slightly, his irritation bleeding through his attempts at controlling himself. His chakra was flaring again, his control slipping, and he tightened his fists as he breathed in deeply. His emotions and memories were bleeding into his concentration Geez...this is not.... there was a rumble in the back of his mind, a growling purr that was....not of his mind. Samuru's body went stiff and he let his breath stop for a moment, lips parting. Was it....His lips closed tightly, his jaw clenching and he forced his chakra into submission. He would not lose this small grip that he had on the beast inside him "Matabi!"

[✠] "I'll answer when I'm ready. Not when you are." the purring hiss of a reply shocked Samuru and he jerked backwards from the feeling. The emotion and anything with it faded as he let his chakra resume its normal whirling existence "...hell." he whispered, feeling a bit of the awe that had momentarily rolled over him. Standing, his legs were numb and he wobbled a bit, nearly knocking into someone Sorry. the word was mental, not verbal and the man walked by, grumbling about how rude everyone was. Something about him being some foreign jerk just like the giant in the hospital Giant? Samuru lifted his head, tilting it back as he thought for a few minutes. What the hell. He'd already accomplished what he'd set out to do. Let's do something fun now. Without saying anything to Kaileer, who he wasn't sure was even in the dojo still, Samuru walked out. (exits)

Shunkan no Hagane - Stage Six
Post Reductions: 12 (S-rank Technique), -4 (S-rank Dojo Reduction), -3 (Bukijutsu Class Reduction), -2 (Personal Attribute) = 3
-----I started with the very first technique listed under the sixth stage of Shunkan no Hagane, simply because I was already in a focused state of mind. It was an advanced form of a technique I had learned before, and used often: Sensory Information. With it, I could perceive objects coming toward me without physically seeing them, something I felt could save my life some day. Or at least, I liked to think that way. But with this upgraded form of it, I would learn to accurately judge distance, location, and speed of objects and people, even if my sense of sight were gone. [1/3] -----So I started with exactly that: I took my sense of sight out of the equation. Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes and steadied my whirling chakra, letting it seep into the environment around me. What could I see with it? I could sense... A gust of wind blowing over the roof of the dojo, the subtle rattle of windows and settling of old stone. I could hear leaves whistle in rebellion to the disturbance of their slumber. [2/3] I could sense Samuru as he stood up and headed out of the dojo without saying a word. I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but it seemed he was done for the moment. Still, a farewell would have been nice. I hoped it wasn't just because of my steadied mind, and that I had actually learned to sense everything around me. I supposed only a true test of it would prove that I had indeed mastered it. In the meanwhile, I had other techniques to learn. It would have to do for now. [3/3 Final Words Learned]

A lone boy wearing the markings of Clan Hattori made his way through the academy grounds, his eyes darting casually around the place he had once spent years of his life. His long steps took him through the halls, his well-built frame shifted through the doorways and halls with ease, and as he exited to the courtyard his short black hair tussled in the winds from the mountainside. He took a deep breath in, sighing as he thought of the cold ice his elder brother casually summoned before him and their younger siblings time and time again. It was indicative of their family, their status, and their power. A smile crept to his face and he drew his left hand up in a single seal. [ 1/10 ]
The air around him seemed to take on a deadening chill as particulate matter began to solidify, the air turning to a mist. His eyes grew colder and he began to appear as if he was freezing over himself. Fractal patterns danced up his body, along his kimono and his hakama, then back down his arms towards his hands. The Hyouton powers in his blood slowly awakening as he began to focus on everything his elder brother had taught him at one point or another. [ 2/10 ]
Small shards of ice formed from the solidifying matter and the boy's eyes narrowed. He stood firm and held out his left hand, still drawn in the same seal he had conjured to begin the transformation of ice in the air. Twisting his hand up into the air he focused further on the creation of ice and watched as the fractals on his arm danced and the same patterns repeated in the air around him, large forms and diamonds of snow and ice appearing among the cold mists. [ 3/10 ]
The fractal patterns danced and fanned out, growing much larger in the freezing mist around the Hattori. He sighed and the articles of ice began to break apart and spread out, creating more spirals of ice which in turn fanned out and grew in the humid air. Drawing his hand in the cold mist would settle in towards him and solidify itself to the point that others around him would not be able to directly see who he was within it. This was something that suited the Hattori boy just fine. [ 4/10 ]
"To think, our family turned away from the lands of perpetual mists, where our ice would be much easier to cultivate. Yet here, under tutelage and extreme prejudice of our skills we've come to understand our gifts and form ice as easily as if it were just the air around us to begin with." The man spoke to himself as he continued his chakra materializations. [ 5/10 ]
"'No snowflake ever falls in the wrong place.' No blade I loose will turn to the wrong target. No choice I make will not be one I cannot abide. I am a weapon of Ice and Steel. I am the Frozen Sabre, I am the Refined Second of the Hattori children. I am peace, serenity, and death." He said unto himself as he let his hands return to the initial posture, his mind wandering only the briefest of moments, the cloud of frost expanding as it did so. [ 6/10 ]
"Like the Hattori before me, I will carry this name and curse. I will carry honour and duty to the clan and beyond that to this village." The Hattori completed, his eyes drawn forward, piercing through the mist as he looked on to those around. [ 7/10 ]
Focusing his chakra forward he clenched his hand into a secondary sign and began to disperse the ice that he had gathered. The separate pieces began to melt, fading and crackling away from the central core he had created. A smile crept on his face as he realized just how close to the mastery of his family's basic technique he had come. [ 8/10 ]
The mist began to fade and dissipate, his form appearing clearly from behind it. His hands moved down to his sides, his left setting down on the hilt of his katana in a classic swordsman's stance. When the last of it faded away entirely he began to walk through it, eyes settled upon the other students who had entered the academy alongside him. [ 9/10 ]
Sitting himself down he took a few moments to think about the techniques he had begun to work on. His mind drew back once more to his eldest brother, to the techniques Myurai had used to show off in front of him and his sister, and the twins. Shaking his head he let his mind come back to the moment he stood and began to walk away, looking throughout the halls as he did so. [ 10/10 ] [ Technique Learned: Hyouton [ Ice Release ] ]
Seiji watched the Academy grounds, his eyes following the strange girl that had entered the Academy. He set to following her for a few moments, but upon her disappearance he stopped and shook his head out, turning his head to the side for a brief moment, before then walking off towards the docks. The last thing he stopped to do was wonder what the woman would be doing with the record player.
"Queer." He peppered in passing, remarking on the entirety of the situation.
Despite having graduated already not so long ago, Samui still would find himself forever closed off from the rest of the village within the walls of the academy. Here he would be furthering his training and study of ninjutsu to a much higher level since he now had access to scrolls that weren't just for chump academy students. Before anything else though, Samui had made it a tradition of his to first meditate and train to master his chakra flow before moving on to actual techniques. 1/5
It was a tedious process not many ninja would bother with, and that was the reason most ninja never grew to their full potential. Samui wasn't like them though, as a Hattori, even a half-blood one much was expected of him and he like all of his brothers were able to step up to the challenge. Now, his eldest brother is the one in command of all those lazy ********, that fact alone would inspire pretty much anyone to start training seriously. 2/5
Samui would continue just letting his chakra flow through him, out of him and around him. A freezing cold mist would start emanating from his person as he did so, the density of the chakra he was building up was beginning to take physical form even. He was in a very secluded room in the academy where it would affect no one though so it would be all alright. 3/5
Handling chakra of this level was something most fresh graduates would no doubt find difficult. Samui himself was almost at the breaking point of controlling the chakra he was gathering, but he would exert all the willpower he had to make sure he wouldn't fail. Failure wasn't allowed in the real world, it almost always equaled to death, so he had to make sure to succeed at everything and anything he did. 4/5
After a few minutes or so, Samui let his chakra settle. It was enough for today that he got a bit more used to drawing it out. Next, he would try actually do something with it. 5/5 Basic Training: Meditate +20 chakra
Bringing his chakra down to the soles of his feet now, he would quickly take a few steps up the wall behind him. It was the basic wall climbing jutsu that most ninja were taught in the academy. He slowly made his way up to the ceiling and he stood in the middle for quite some time. 1/3
He walked around the ceiling, at an increasingly fast pace. Balancing the levels of chakra at each foot so that he wouldn't break the ceiling or fall off, it had to be just perfect and it had to be done as fast as possible. Samui had already perfected this technique long ago so it was a simple task. 2/3
Despite being simple, it still was an excellent exercise for chakra control. Even high ranking ninja would still sometimes resort to this technique when needing some quick practice. After a while of running all around the room on every side, he went back to middle where the scrolls he took were laid out. 3/3 Basic Training: Performance +10 chakra
Next he read the scrolls on the floor. On it centuries of techniques were written down, all by those Shinsetsu before him. Samui was unlike other Hattori, you see. 1/4
In his blood flowed a strange mix of the Hyoton clan of Kirigakure and the Shinsetsu clan of the icy peaks of the Land of Lightning. He and his twin sister were the product of their father forgetting he was married with children for a few short nights on a training trip. Samui doesn't mind it though, neither did his older siblings who so kindly welcomed him into the family. 2/4
Brushing off these memories and thoughts coming to him right now, Samui focused at the task at hand. As he began reading the very first jutsu he already started collecting his chakra. If he couldn't do this, it either meant his Hattori blood was stronger than Shinsetsu blood or that he has absolutely no talent for his bloodline jutsu whatsoever. 3/4
Luckily for Samui, it was neither. Forming a single handsign, chakra creeped out of his being building up into a white cloud of snow in front of him. He then quickly made another one and tried moving the two around with hand gestures to see how far they could fly from him, how fast, and how much he could twist and spread them out from their normally cloudy shape. 4/4 Hatsuyuki
Next jutsu was something that seemed to be for little kids, which annoyed Samui somewhat. He was trying to be serious now, to grow up a little and he was left with jutsu like this that threw snowballs at people. He sighed, then put his palm to a cloud and pulsed chakra into it and did the simple jutsu perfectly. 1/1 Yukimari
Samui then took a short break, he shaped his two clouds into pillows. One he would place as a headrest and the other he would hug as he drifted off into dreamland.
Waking up several hours later, Samui would look out the window and see that it was already midday, he had slept way far too much. He sighed, perhaps staying up till the wee hours of the night every night for a month wasn't such a good idea. He took a quick five minute stretch and warm up as he began building up chakra again for more daily training. 1/5
As the freezing mist began to form again, Samui would make several handsigns and shape the chakra. He would cycle through all the elemental natures he had affinities for. It resulted in varying effects other than just the mist. 2/5
For Fuuton, a powerful breeze started coming forth from him which he quickly put under control before something broke. For Suiton his hands began leaking droplets, and water started building up in his mouth a little. For Yukiton, the same freezing mist, but with greater intensity, the drops of water on the floor began turning to ice. 3/5
Samui then halted the release of energy for a moment and took a few deep breaths. Next, he would try his hand at another element he wasn't normally born to control, but had gained a talent for through amazing mastery over ninjutsu. He sped up his chakra flow again, focusing it all into his hands after a few more handsigns. 4/5
Suddenly his hands were glowing with electricity, for a few seconds the power he had felt was great. It then quickly disappeared, and following that was a searing pain from not having any jutsu that gave him some electrical resistance. He quickly formed a Hatsuyuki and dipped his hands in it while preventing himself from screaming out in pain. "You're a Hattori, you're a Hattori, you're a Hattori...Do. Not. Scream." the young man repeated to himself over and over as he feigned toughness. It would be embarrassing if he did so, then suddenly ninja would come over to the room and they'd be judging him for his carelessness and pretty girly scream. 5/5
Following an hour or so of a break, Samui would return to his daily training. It was quite simple really. He just had to practice his techniques again. 1/3
He formed an extra cloud of snow, and as he walked all around the room including the ceiling with his jutsu he motioned the clouds around him. All the while shooting out snowballs at imaginary foes. It was quite a fun exercise for him really. 2/3
After a quick thirty minute jog around the room while unleashing snow everywhere, he released the clouds and went back to the middle of the room now covered in snow. He looked around and it felt really...homey? Something about the cold just felt so welcoming, and the sight of snow everywhere helped with that feeling a lot. 3/3
Next Samui went back to learning bloodline techniques with his family scroll. It was the only ones he could learn, seeing as he still didn't have a headband that allowed him to take scrolls from the academy storage. He made a mental note that after a few of these jutsu, he would go do just that. 1/3
First technique involved using the Hatsuyuki clouds as freeze bombs. Simple enough, quite deadly too to ninja that didn't have frozen innards like Shinsetsu did. He held his had to a formed cloud in front of him and let his chakra flow into it. 2/3
After a few short moments no longer then a second, the cloud flew out a window toward a tree. It exploded with an okay amount of force, but was more notable was the incredibly cold winds that came from the blast. Samui looked down from the window and saw a few shinobi that were standing too close hugging themselves from the intensity of it. 3/3
For the next technique, all Samui had to do was form a single handsign as he brought the chakra from his stomach to his lungs then out through his mouth. The result would be a breath of powerful, freezing winds that could push or freeze anyone caught in the blast. To test it he would climb out the window and jump toward a tree right in front of it. 1/3
He would stab a kunai down into a branch till it was considerably stuck. Then he would jump back into his room, and prepare the chakra and handsign needed for the jutsu. His aim was to blow the kunai off the branch into the grounds below. 2/3
Following the instructions perfectly, Samui was able to perform the jutsu with good execution and with little difficulty. The kunai didn't just budge a bit but the intense winds made it fly off the branch quite a bit. He then leaped out the window to the tree then to the ground where the kunai fell, then went back to the room as quickly as possible. 3/3
Next was a simple distraction technique. Well that or a technique to turn any kid's playground into a winter wonderland. Upon studying the jutsu Samui already began to get excited at showing it to Yu-chan later. 1/3
He made a snowcloud and filled it with some chakra then sent it out the window up a tree next to the academy. Then the cloud would grow to three yards in diameter. After a quick snap of his fingers, the cloud broke open a bit and it started to snow down on the area it covered. 2/3
The smaller, younger ninja below were enjoying the technique for sure. Samui himself was tempted to jump out the window and start playing with them, but he was trying to be a bit more mature now. Still it was hard for him not too, despite being almost fifteen he was a kid at heart. 3/3
Finally before going off to get his headband, Samui would form a handsign to make another snow cloud. Then he put the two clouds next to each other floating in front of him. He then began to consult the scroll on the ground for how the next jutsu was to be done. 1/3
What amazed Samui the most was that most jutsu required one or very few handsigns despite the great effects. It was great because in actual combat the small amount of time it took to do those seals could mean the difference between life and death. Since he wasn't exactly some godlike figure at handsign speed, these jutsu would be sure to help out a lot in future battles. 2/3
Forming the one handsign and holding it close to his chest, the two clouds would begin to break from it's normal shape. They began stretching into one another at an increasingly powerful speed turning into a white twister. Before it could fully form Samui stopped the technique so as not to destroy the dojo. 3/3
After all that, Samui would roll up the family scroll and leave the grounds to go off to the Raikage's office.
Rather than going to get her headband immediately, Hatsu decided to train a little bit at the academy first. After all, she didn't want to be a burden in battle. She found a good open space outside the academy to practice.
Although she could not do much here, she knew she could at least go over the techniques that lie in her blood. She got a scroll out and began concentrating. As she concentrated the air around her started to thicken. (Hatsuyuki 1/4)
As the air thickened, her breath became visible. Hatsu manipulated her chakra around her, making it start to become visible. A small white breeze spiraled around her, gently and flowing like a stream. (Hatsuyuki 2/4)
As the white wind circled around her, she formed it into a single spot in front of her, creating a small cloud of snow. Although she had succesfully executed the jutsu, the cloud soon fell apart. (Hatsuyuki 3/4)
Not affected by the failure to keep the cloud intact, Hatsu tried again. She successfully formed another cloud, remembering to follow everything in her family's scroll. She did this until she had two clouds circling around her. (Hatsuyuki 4/4)
Although satisfied with the two clouds she had created, she did not stop training, as she had nothing to use them for yet. Concentrating again, she put her hand on one of the clouds. the cloud seemed to solidify and compact, as she focused chakra into her hand. (Yukimari 1/2)
As the snow compacted, it formed into a ball. Hatsu then launched the ball from her hand, a bit surprised as it was a bit sudden. She did this once more with her remaining cloud, except that she palmed a rock while she created the snowball, encasing the rock inside. (Yukimari 2/2)
Hatsu summoned up two more Hatsuyuki clouds, and placed her hands on one of them in front of her. the cold embraced her as she focused chakra into her palms. She then released the chakra, spreading it from her hands into the cloud. (Yukibakudan 1/5)
Her cloud started glowing a soft white as she pumped more and more chakra into it, and then fired it at the ground, a ways away. The cloud exploded, sending small wisps of wind curling out from the impact point. (Yukibakudan 2/5)
Although she had recreated this technique without fail, memorization takes repetition. Hatsu also wondered if she could possibly put more force into the resulting explosion, so she started thinking of a new way to create the snow bomb. (Yukibakudan 3/5)
After pondering the issue for a while, she finally thought up a way to create a heavier explosion. With her remaining cloud she created another bomb, except this time she condensed the chakra into a ball at the center of the cloud. (Yukibakudan 4/5)
Letting the bomb go, it had a bit less kick as the first, probably due to the distribution of chakra. The snowball hit the ground again and burst, this time creating a much larger force. The curls of wind also seemed to reach further and blew colder than before. (Yukibakudan 5/5)
A little tired from all the chakra manipulation, Hatsu took a quick rest and decided to learn one more technique. After resting she created two more hatsuyuki clouds and started concentrating on the chakra flowing around her. (Fuyu no Unari 1/5)
Her chakra growing slightly visible, Hatsu created a hand seal and put it to her chest, and focused her chakra on the hatsuyuki clouds swirling around her. (Fuyu no Unari 2/5)
As she ran chakra around her, Hatsu stretched her clouds, making them into streams of white, spiraling around her. The clouds sped up, curving around her faster and faster. (Fuyu no Unari 3/5)
Once the clouds reached a certain speed, they created a small whirlwind around Hatsu. The twister sharp and its winds violent, it was obvious not much was going to get through. Hatsu dissolved the wall of wind around her and took a look at the scroll again to see if she missed anything. (Fuyu no Unari 4/5)
As she looked at the scroll she did in fact find something she missed, so she took a rock and placed it on the ground. Hatsu walked a distance away from it, and created another two hatsuyuki clouds before creating another cyclone, except this time around the rock instead. the blades of air whipped around the rock, freezing it to the ground. (Fuyu no Unari 5/5)
Exhausted from her training, Hatsu decided to take one more quick rest before heading over to the Raikage's Office for her headband.
Excited to finally have her headband, Hatsu needed to train herself before she took Mayuri's test.She started stretcheing outside the outside the dojo to get limber as she didnt want to get cramps while learning her techniques, and she knew stretching would eventually give her more flexibility, with repetition.(Soft Physical Rank D 1/2)
After stretching, Hatsu focused chakra in her feet and proceeded to take laps around the dojo, trying to go as fast as she can. The point was not just to increase her speed, but also to be able to run that fast without tiring. (Soft Physical Rank D 2/2)
After about 30 or so laps around the dojo she took a good long break. Her legs were sore, and she was panting heavily. After about an hour's worth of break, Hatsu started stretching again. She needed to stay limber if she wanted to train safely and properly. (Soft Physical Rank C 1/3)
Next, she stepped inside and asked if another genin would help her train. When she found one willing to help, Hatsu practiced simple parries, and then chained them into quick grabs and throws. (Soft Physical Rank C 2/3)
Knowing a bit more about deflecting, redirecting, and throwing, Hatsu asked him to grab a wooden staff, where she would then practice dodging various combos. Eventually she would add in a throw to know when to counterattack during combos. Tossing her helper around a bit, she felt a little bit more enlightened on how much she can move her body. (Soft Physical Rank C 3/3)
After thanking the random genin, she needed to bolster her own abilities before moving on to her jutsus. She went to the corner of the room and started focusing chakra around herself. (Meditate 1/5)
Hatsu let the air flow around her, tuning out the rest of the happenings in the dojo, a boken flew to the ground next to her as a fresh graduate lost his grip, but Hatsu continued channeling her chakra, not budging and inch. (Meditate 2/5)
Her mind devoted to the task at hand, she let her chakra swirl around her, becoming slightly visible as the air around her became frigid. Some equipment racks around her started to get a thin layer of frost, as the moist air around them condensed and froze. (Meditate 3/3)
Her chakra getting to dangerous temperatures, she started creating Bunshin no Jutsu shadow clones. In the small corner, she made the appropriate hand signs and successfully created a single shadow clone. Hatsu would then maintain the jutsu whilst creating more clones, until she had about 10 in that one corner. (Meditate 4/5)
The chakra she had around her seemed to visibly dissipate and calm down, as she started channeling her chakra alongside all 10 of her clones. Hatsu then created the needed single hand seal and created two Hatsuyuki clouds and had her clones create one each. (Meditate 5/5)
Her ability to hold out longer in battle improving, Hatsu decided it too early to stop training her ability to prolong a fight. The shadow clones still active, she went outside the dojo to practice some of her jutsus. Hatsu started to greater understand how to keep powering her jutsus, even while moving. (Performance 1/3)
Once outside, she used her own Hatsuyuki clouds for two Yukibakudan Snowbombs. She fired off one into the air, and as it came back down she fired a second one, making them collide and create a mid-air explosion. (Performance 2/3)
Nearing the end of her training, Hatsu brought all her clones together around her, and focused all 10 of their Hatsuyuki clouds into a gigantic Fuyu no Unari cyclone, enclosing the small group in a violent snowstorm about 30 feet in diameter. To finish, she held the slicing wind around her, along with her clones for a good three minutes. Some academy students passing by were wide-eyed, as they witnessed a small girl later emerge from the biting winds as they slowed down. (Performance 3/3)
