xxxxKinpaku Isshinxxxx
Suzume was all too willing for her to join in on the techniques. Apollo... Well, he seemed moody about the loss of a potential student for the moment. It was... Kind of humbling. A smile, she turned a moment. Both Cloud and Kein had come for the same purpose, just... Kein had been a bit more quick to work it in. No nonsense. She enjoyed the Uchiha for that purpose.
"Excuse the lack of ceremony. Something hard to pull off when everything happens at once," she began. She'd get right back to Suzume in a moment yet. She had to wrap this up, yet. "Cloud of the Hari clan. Kein of the Uchiha. In reward for the efforts you've made in the name of Kumogakure, you are no longer the green shinobi you once were, and have made great strides to become something more. Now, you will be recognized as something more. Responsibilities fall upon you, more opportunities open. Genin no more, I, as the Raikage, acknowledge your skill and loyalty. You are chunnin now." The Oni woman debated on whether or not it made that much sense, but she had to do something. A good leader was an inspiration, even when one was deemed the shadow of the village. "I'd like to do more for you both, but it will be a moment. I have duties to fulfill."
Again, the woman's gaze fell back to Suzume. She was so willing to learn. Made her ideal. Hopefully, she would rise to great heights. "You may have heard of it. To begin with, you'll have to learn Mizutamari no Jutsu. Note I have two small pools of water ready," Kinpaku spoke, as she walked out. She hated ignoring the genin, Alex, but she simply couldn't spar at this moment. Perhaps she'd take him, and a couple other genin out, to examine them herself. "Relatively simple. You're going to have to use your chakra to coerce yourself to be more fluid like." Forming the hand seals slowly, she hoped Suzume was watching. The Lady Raikage slid from the surface, slipping into the water as if she were water. To display what she'd be learning though, she avoid Mizutamari Yatsuo. Resurfacing once more, she ushered the girl to try. "Just remember to be free with your thought on chakra."
[Mizutamari no Jutsu: D Rank. With academy reduction, it is 3 posts. -1 for instruction.]
"Apollo, you'll have to discuss that with the me in the office," she instructed the ANBU. Alex... Well, she shook her head for the moment. "I'm sorry, Alex, but not now. Soon we can, but not now." What bothered her... He reeked of sake. Not even she reeked of the stuff."I must know though... How old are you again, Alex?" She had a lot to do.
"A mask for every situation..."
"And a performance for every soul."

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Genin ~ Bukijutsu ~
So Kein Uchiha and the other person had just been promoted to chuunin. Suzume felt a little jealous that they were at the next level when she wished to be there herself. Still, there was much more for her to learn at this level. She could learn on ninjutsu and then there was a whole other bukijutsu style she had to get started on. Shigure Soen was powerful but she needed another style to be more capable. There was one that emphasized finesse, that would probably be the second one she would learn.
Waiting patiently for the Raikage to finish her business with the new Chuunin, Suzume ignored the male that came in drunk. Her focus was on the Raikage as she explained what would need to be done. If she had to learn one ninjutsu first then she might have to wait to learn the main jutsu later. As a bukijutsu user, her abilities were limited in other areas. Suzume was sure that Kinpaku must have been aware of this dilemma though.
As the Raikage demonstrated the technique, Suzume watched the other form the seals. She would cotinue to watch as the other slipped into the water and when the Raikage resurface. Immediately she knew this would be difficult for her. Sure she remembered the hand seals but getting into the mindset and focusing her chakra in this way would be hard. Still, her bukijutsu style and taijutsu style required control over chakra. Maybe already having learned control and focus in such a way would help her. "I'll try my best Raikage."
She walked over to one of the puddle's of water not occupied by the Raikage. Standing there, she slowly moved through the hand seals, not focusing her chakra just yet. Right now she was merely practicing so that she would be able to move through the seals more quickly and in the correct manner. Once she was able to move through the seals more easily, she would attempt to use the actual technique.
Suzume seemed quite focused, doing her best to get into the right mind set so that her body would be more fluid like. Nothing happened on the first time and repeated tries were close but her body did not slip into the water even a little. Suzume was not going to give up though and she kept trying, trying to get into the right mind set the Raikage had described. It was still a little difficult, although Suzume was thinking perhaps she needed to relax.
[post 1/2]
The red head continued working on the technique, getting at least a little closer. Suzume was just trying to focus on water, relaxing as best as she could. She did not know why but it seemed harder then when focusing on a bukijutsu technique or a taijutsu technique. Maybe this was focus more on the mental with chakra instead of the physical with chakra? It was hard for her to explain but Suzume was still willing to try this.
Running through the hand seals once more, Suzume focused her chakra, trying to be relaxed and mind free. Then there was a strange sensation, starting from the soles of her feet and working up. Suzume's eyes were open and she saw she was slowly sinking down into the puddle of water. Then when she was inside the puddle of water, the strange sensation did not stop from there. She was aware of her surroundings but now she was... well, water.
At least she had the technique down and this was bound to be a useful technique. The red head slowly reappeared out of the puddle of water and stepped out of it. "Guess I've got it." she told the Raikage.

Suzume had been rather quick on the take. "That was the only preparatory step, so we're on to the actual technique," the Raikage spoke, as she looked over the girl, phasing into the water. There wasn't really that much to say in the first place, but now... Well, now it was going to be a bit more costly, in terms of chakra for someone such as Suzume. The weapons users had difficulty in the entire situation of that department. "Good though! Now that you've learned Mizutamari, we'll take the final step. Once this is learned, don't worry about Mizutamari, for the most part. I'll be showing you Mizutamari Yatsuo no Jutsu. This lets you move from one body of water to another within a one mile radius."
Again, the raikage formed seals slowly. Again, for Suzume to watch. This was important stuff. Once the seals were completed, the Raikage seemingly melted again into the water, but this time, she didn't resurface from the water she slid into the first time. A short distance to the left, she rose and stepped to the ground from another. "This should cut down on reaction time to attack, and provides prime opportunity to strike where least expected. Just remember, if it's a long ways away, you've got to have been there before."

Kein Uchiha Chuunin ۞ Dragon Of The North ۞ Kumogakure ۞ Two Tomoe Sharingan Ryo:1000 両 ۞ AC: 3150
Kein drew a single scroll from his pack. It was adorned with the kanji symbol for Raiton. He pushed it open and began reading through it for a jutsu worth having. It had to be strong and versatile, one that he could modify if needed.
(1/7)
Kein continued to thumb through it until he found a jutsu called the Chidori. It called for a change in chakra nature to raiton and a change in the shape and frequency of said chakra. He was pretty good at changing his chakra's nature. But shape was a whole different story.
(2/7)
He took a deep breath as he began to read the instructions for the jutsu. He had to force his lightning chakra into his palm, contain it there, and then release it just before his palm connected. That was not to overly hard he was pretty good at controlling his chakra. Next came the handsigns.
(3/7)
Kein quickly memorized the set of handsigns. Monkey then Dragon then Rat then Bird then Ox then Snake then Dog followed by Tiger and last the Monkey. He stood and began making the signs. Slowly at first but then faster and faster.Soon he had them committed to muscle memory.
(4/7)
Kein shrugged his shoulders and took a low stance. He flashed the handsigns in the proper order and began to send as much raiton chakra into his hand as he could manage. At first nothing happened, but he continued to force more and more lightning into his hand and began to pulsate it faster and faster. Until the distinctive chirping sound began to fill the dojo.
(5/7)
Kein grinned wildly as he stood, the massive ball of lighting still chirping away in his hand. He smiled as he singled out a lone dummy as he sprinted full on at the dummy. His eyes watered as a serious case of tunnel vision set in. His normal eyes simply could not keep up with the speed of the strike. He smiled none the less as his palm went clean through the dummy and into the wall behind it.
(6/7)
Kein wretched his arm from the wall as he shook it. It had a tingly feeling in it. He turned and made a mental note not to use this on anybody he did not intend to kill. He reassured the note as he surveyed the devastation the jutsu had caused. There was a long trench in the ground from where he stood as well as a large and jagged whole in the wall where his fist eventually ended.
(7/7)
Learning Modifiers, A-rank jutsu =10, Location -3, Total A-rank jutsu =7 Jutsus learned, Chidori

~ Suzume Kinjo ~ Kumogakure ~ Genin ~ Bukijutsu ~
If knowing the first jutsu would help set the ground work for this next one then hopefully the main technique would be easier to learn. The red head listened carefully as the Raikage explained what this next technique would do. Transport from one body of water to the next within a one mile radius. Useful but Suzume imagined that it would cost plenty of chakra. Her shinobi class did not have a lot of chakra but this technique would be useful, no doubt about that.
Suzume watched the other move through the hand seals slowly. Then she sunk into one puddle of water before reappearing in the other one to the left. "I understand, I'll get to work on it right now."
Moving over to one puddle of water, the kunoichi began to slowly move through the hand seals. This would be just to get used to them of course, building up so she was comfortable and could form them more easily. When she was comfortable forming the seals, she would begin working on the actual technique.
[post 1/3]
This seemed to be much harder than the last technique. Sure, she could slowly sink into the puddle of water but actually going from one to the other was hard. Suzume felt she hadn't even made any progress, she just rose back up in the same puddle over and over. This was certainly more frustrating than the last technique. It was harder to figure out what sort of mind set or how to will herself to move from one puddle to the other. The Raikage had made it look so easy but learning it had to take plenty of tries. How many she was not exactly sure but the red head was doing her best to keep at it.
[post 2/3]
The red head continued moving through the hand seals and slipping down into the puddle of water. She had to try plenty of times before she had been able to finally learn the technique. On the last try, she slid down into the puddle. It was still such a weird sensation, made even weirder as she willed herself to move from one puddle of water to the next. When she reappeared in the puddle of water to the left, Suzume stepped out of the puddle. "Finished Raikage-sama."
