༺ Honō Hokorii༻tab [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]tab
金繕い
"Yes, ma'am." Honō spoke on instinct in the face of having been given permission to perform the technique he had been training for. Following Kagerou to her choice of seating, the Hakari clan member waited for the woman to appear settled and comfortable before taking a breath and recalling all that was taught to him by this generous woman. Bringing his hands up, chakra flowed down to this fingers as he summoned up a will and intention of applying the slumbering technique onto the shinobi from Kirigakure. Hands smoothly wove through the handsigns, though fluidity was only achieved through focus rather than familiarity, and Honō reached forward to gently brush a finger onto the back of Kagerou's hand, not feeling it appropriate to touch any other available skin within reach.
装 : Thigh-length, white, cotton haori has its sleeve cuffs edged in a blue strip of cotton. The hakama is cotton as well, with a gradient dye, going, top-down, white to a matching blue. The string ties, or 'himo,' are strands of glass beads, clear in colour and translucent. A matching necklace of these beads is worn around the neck. Underneath the haori, held up by a belt disguised under the tie of the hakama, are several pouches and a blade that, in any normal person's hand, would be would be described as a short sword. The hilt was clearly carved by hand, made of bone, yellowed with age. The blade bore jagged edges on the backside ( a boning edge ) while the other was razor sharp, curved wickedly at the end to act as a gutter. Stamped in the centre of the blade was a bear's paw surrounded in strangely shaped leaves. Traditional tabi, are also worn, marking this individual more of a civilian than a Kumogakure shinobi.
動 : When conversing, their eyes rarely meet the other person's, instead respectfully resting just beneath them, usually on the cheek bones. The walk with a demure air, posture relaxed and steps quiet, as though not to disturb. The hands are often clasped in front of them, as a servant does.
Seeing Hono hesitate for a place to touch, Kagerou first tilted her head in his direction. Then when he continued to remain uncomfortable, she raised a hand instead. This appeared to do the trick, as Hono... gently brushed Kagerou's hand. "This child... must be really nervous," Kagerou thought to herself as she felt the wave of fatigue rush over her. With such a soft touch, she didn't even need to be on alert to kai before the depths of sleep clutched her consciousness. She would only become exhausted, and when she did, she brought her own hands together to release the technique with a burst of technique. Looking up with a smile, she congratulated, "Good job. Though, I would recommend a firmer grip the next time. In most cases, a light brush will only pass to the target a feeling of great exhaustion."
She would rise from the chair now and raise a hand to gently, just as gently as Hono had brushed her hand earlier, pat Hono's head for a job well done. Or if not his head because he was a good foot taller than her, his shoulder. "Continue practicing, and I'm sure you'll have no problems," she encouraged, keeping it vague whether she meant the technique, or Hono's apparent aversion to physical touch. Kagerou lowered herself down from her tiptoes, and also wondered herself what she meant. Hono's technique had been good, but like every first try, could use improvement. She had assumed from his earlier action that he was hesitant to come into physical contact, but she didn't know him even close to long enough to suggest such a thing with much confidence.
Though, in the end, she guessed that what mattered was that she'd like to spend more time with Hono. Looking at the time, however, it was already quite late. She said as much in her next words, "It's already quite late," as she stepped back, "I should get going with my own training. However, if you would like, I'll be having dinner at the ramen stand in... let's say two and a half hours from now. Feel free to join me for dinner there." Giving one more smile, she gave a small bow and then turned to leave Hono. Hopefully, they would see each other later that night. Right now, however, it was about time she returned to her work.

Technique Name: Kiritani Hidden Technique: Endless Masquerade [Approved] [Trained] Rank: B Type: Eiseijutsu Element: n/a Description: In short, a very physical and real version of Henge no Jutsu. Derived from Ningeniro [Human Color], Endless Masquerade changes the physical shape and form of the body down to the finest anatomical details. Endless Masquerade can change color (any shade, natural or not), gender, alter age, and modify the body's proportions and various sizes. It is, however, limited by the limits of what the standard human body can handle, which are outlined below. Barring certain genetic exemptions, such as the Akimichi, experimenting with Endless Masquerade has revealed that attempting extreme size changes with this technique leads to not only malfunctioning body parts but also severe bodily harm in extreme cases. Becoming a giant, it is not only impossible for the human body, even under the influence of ninja magic, to safely create enough matter to support such growth, but the circulatory and nervous systems cannot keep up with the sudden change in size. On the opposite end of the spectrum, trying to alter the body to anything smaller than 3' or so not only squeezes the inner anatomy of the body, which cannot be made to reduce in time, but also has a high chance of further complications arising when the target reverts back to his original size. All in all, the safe limits of Endless Masquerade tend to hover between approximately 3' and 7' of height and their respective underweight and overweight weights. Proportions between body parts need to be kept within reason, being able to border on but not cross into "abomination" territory. Because of the delicacy of this technique, even if it can be executed in a timely and easy manner with enough practice, the target of Endless Masquerade must be willing for Endless Masquerade to take effect.
Browsing the shelves for the texts she needed, Kagerou was reminded of a technique she learned shortly before leaving Kirigakure for Konoha. It was a medical technique, but meant for espionage. Honestly, a classic use for eiseijutsu in her mother's clan. By biologically transforming the body, it created a permanent and flawless change. While tricky to pull off and even trickier to do so safely, Kagerou eventually got the hang of it.[1/1]
Tebanasu Fuuin [ Time Sealing ] Rank: E Description: A seal in the shape of a small clock face that applies a timer to a seal. The hands will count up or down based on the timer’s setting and either activate the attached seal or extend its duration. Once set upon another Fuuinjutsu, it fades away from view, & only sensory techniques will be able to pick it up if specifically looked for. After the requisite handsigns are performed, the seal will flow from the user’s hands to a seal they’re touching. At the time of application the user is able to delay the activation of the touched fuuin or extend its duration by paying this technique’s cost for each post desired up to 3. Only one Tebanasu Fuuin can be applied to a seal.
Kagerou sat down. She learned a technique. What? Did you think this was going to be fun? Nah, this was studying. [1/1]
Fuuin Tsunagu [ Seal Connection ] Rank: D Description: A linking seal that synchronizes two other seals it’s connected to. When one seal activates, the other will as well. If Tebanasu Fuuin [ Time Sealing ] is applied to this technique, the user can stagger the activations. This technique consumes no activations if used alongside another sealing technique.
Seals, being written in nature, meant a lot of desk work. Certainly, their applications meant field word was also possible. However, it was ultimately unnecessary. In the interest of saving time, Kagerou kept herself confined to her desk. [1/1]
Isshi Toujin [ String Light Formation ] Rank: D :: Retrainable - C B A Description: A barrier designed to arrest the movements of the person at its center. The user discharges Chakra through their feet to create the barrier underfoot, affecting up to one person within 5 meters. Those affected cannot move unless they exert Chakra or Stamina above this technique’s rank to do so. If multiple people use this technique at the same rank on the same target, its rank increases by 1 for each additional usage. Has an upkeep cost of its original cost per post after the first. The user(s) must remain stationary while sustaining this technique.
True, even she found this slightly boring. However, her focus bore her through the bore. Disciplined and serious, she read through the texts. Her hands jotted down notes. [1/1; D]
This current technique could be used to hold the opponent in place. Not only that, but it held the opponent in place at a distinct disadvantage. While Kagerou also wouldn't be able to move, her chakra and stamina wouldn't be locked down. She could freely attack from range. [1/1; C]
On the other hand, the target was limited. With chakra and stamina both taken away from them, there attack options were sorely limited. They were, for all intents and purposes, a sitting duck. The only thing they could do was release themselves from the fuuin. [1/1; B]
It was an interesting technique. Ironically, it was very similar to the Nara clan's famous shadow binding. From Kagerou's feet, threads of light spawned. Then, once she had ascertained their quality, the just as quickly disappeared. [1/1; A]
Kaifuujutsu: Usuimon [ Unsealing: Rainwater Gate ] Rank: D Description: A form of summoning technique, bringing forth a single gate sturdy enough to withstand a solid blow. The user must first store valid materials into the Fuuin, such as stone, iron, or wood, before this type of unsealing may be used. The sealed materials are consumed to create the gate and may be returned to the seal afterward if it isn’t destroyed. Able to withstand any attack of the same rank of chakra, regardless of elemental superiority, effects, etc. Requires minimum D-Rank training in Kaifuu no Jutsu [ Unsealing Technique ].
Well, there was no way Kagerou was going to get away with summoning a wall in a library. Therefore, it was just focusing on theory. She jotted notes. She tested herself. Perfect. [1/1]
Shikoku Fuuin [ Finger Engraving Seal ] Rank: C Description: By surrounding their finger with chakra, the user can use it to engrave the movements of their finger into a touched surface.
Finger engraving seal. Well, for a little bit, she took her finger and started writing notes with it. The lines were shaky at first. However, they soon refined, following the traces of her mind's path instead of where her finger touched the surface of the paper. [1/1]
Tensou no Jutsu [ Heavenly Transmission Technique ] Rank: C Description: This technique was originally designed to teleport inanimate objects across far distances at the speed of light. The user needs time to prepare the jutsu and the coordinates of the location which will receive the object. Upon selecting the object(s) to transfer, the user will form the needed hand seal, causing the object to disappear in a bolt of light and land at the designated area. It is possible to send living objects through the jutsu; however, the extreme speed involved rips the entity to shreds. Only those with extremely tough flesh or advanced self-healing powers can survive the transmission. Takes 1 full post of prior concentration to perform, during which the user must be physically adjacent to the entities being sent. Each entity sent--regardless of size--takes a C-Rank amount of Chakra. The user must know the exact location that the entity is being sent to. Living entities sent long-distance outside of the thread take an extra post of concentration, and the victim takes damage as if an S-Rank attack hit them, shredding them. The damage taken can be mitigated by appropriately-ranked defensive and restorative techniques. Speed Release users do not suffer the damage.
Because the previous technique used a steady stream of chakra, Kagerou quickly returned to standard pen and pencil. She continued to jot down notes without stop, looking through her chosen study materials. Then, without warning, she suddenly stopped. Kagerou pushed herself away from the desk, waited, and then she reappeared on the other side of the desk after a short minute. [1/1]
Bakuryuugeki [ Exploding Dragon Strike ] Rank: B :: Retrainable A Description: Through use of a scroll, the user summons a large elemental dragon that explodes upon impact. This technique is prepared by sealing elemental Chakra into a scroll, then calling it forth later. Requires minimum B-Rank training in Kaifuu no Jutsu [ Unsealing Technique ] and Fuunyuu no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ], as well as the elemental affinity of the dragon desired. The Chakra initially stored determines the offensive strength of the dragon, while the rank of this technique determines its defensive capabilities. (i.e. A C-Rank amount of Chakra was sealed and this technique was used at B-Rank; thus, it deals only C-Rank damage but isn’t disrupted by techniques lower than B-Rank.) Dragon lasts for up to 1 post before detonating.
While clothes and skin were torn with the technique she just executed, Kagerou only winced before continuing on. This next technique probably was better attempted outside. However, Kagerou had none of that nonsense and practiced it right inside. Even with a shredded hand, she still deftly caught the dragon that was shot out of the scroll upon a successful use of Bakuryuugeki. [1/1; B]
Kagerou tried the technique one more time, but with more gusto. She released an even stronger force of chakra into the scroll. In turn, the scroll shot off an even stronger dragon. Like the last time, however, Kagerou bore the brunt of the attack with her hand and canceled the technique after determining its strength.
Fuuin Houin [ Seals Sealing ] Rank: B Description: A symbol which, once erected in an area, prevents low-ranked seals from enacting. The user requires a large fuuin to be drawn upon a scroll to use as the base of this technique. The seal glows brightly whenever it prevents another seal in the vicinity being used. Lasts 5 posts and affects an entire thread.
Kagerou has an unsealing. Kagerou has a seal. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Unsealing seal! Now no seals can be used! [1/1]
Bunshin Houin [ Clone Sealing ] Rank: A Description: A glowing purple seal which is drawn upon the user's skin, encompassing all limbs. Once activated, it expands in size and sends out a pulse of Chakra. This pulse overrides control of all clones in the thread and forces them to submit to the will of the user while retaining their original abilities, techniques, etc. Affects an entire thread. Stolen clones still drain Chakra from their creator as normal. Lasts 3 posts, after which all affected clones disperse.
Okay, same thing as before. However, the difference here is that it seals clones. Kagerou took the original seal. Then she modified it. Now it sealed clones. [1/1]
Korabo Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Collaborative Summoning Technique ] Rank: E :: Retrainable D C B A Description: This technique allows multiple summoners to transport specially marked entities across long distances. With the combined strength of multiple powerful users, this technique can bring forth targets from tremendous distances and even different dimensions. This technique is a requirement for several transportation-based Fuuinjutsu. To learn and train, it requires a minimum of two people to work together. The distance increases based on this technique’s rank: E-Rank: 25 meters. D-Rank: 100 meters. C-Rank: 400 meters. B-Rank: 1600 meters. A-Rank: 6400 meters. S-Rank: 25,600 meters. S+Rank: 102,400 meters.
Kagerou stared at the technique in front of her… Then she looked around… No friends. Sad days. She stuck to just studying the theory. She was suuuure she would do it perfectly if she just studied theory. [1/1; E]
So this was a technique that could transport items from far away. Like, really, really far away. They were talking about different dimensions far away. Ah… Kagerou wasn't sure if she wanted to transport the things that were in the nightmare dimension… [1/1; D]
The studying chuunin clicked her tongue. Okay, so it appeared she did another person to learn this technique. It said right there in big and bold letters. What the book said, the book. Looking around, Kagerou pulled a helpless bystander. [1/1; C]
Thus, said bystander was forced to learn with her. Nothing lost on his part save some time. This was an E-rank technique at base, so he might as well learn it. It wouldn't take any of his slots. [1/1; B]
At A-rank, something from 6400 meters could be summoned. That was a lot. That was, like, 64 football fields long. Kagerou and buddy summoned something from 64 football fields away. [1/1; A]
Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Summoning Technique ] Rank: C :: Retrainable Description: The Summoning Technique is a space–time ninjutsu that allows the summoner to transport animals or people across long distances instantly via blood. Before an animal summoning can be performed, a prospective summoner must first sign a contract with a given species. The contract comes in the form of a scroll, on which the contractor uses their own blood to sign their name and place their fingerprints and once signed it is valid even after the contractor’s death as long as the contract itself remains intact. After this they need only offer an additional donation of blood on the hand they signed the contract with, mold their chakra with hand seals and then plant the hand they signed the contract with at the location they wish to summon the creature. The amount of chakra used during the summoning determines how powerful the summoned creature can be. It should be noted that anyone can summon a contracted animal as long as they have the blood from someone who has made a contract, the seal of the summoned creature, and a source of sufficient chakra that the summon will accept. A creature is capable of determining who is attempting to summon it from the chakra used. If used without a contract, the user is transported to the Summoning Lands.
A summoning technique. A classic. Kagerou looked at it. Kagerou learned it. Kagerou conqured it. [1/1; C]
Well, that was the plan. Except wait! There's more! This technique needed to be retrained for each level. [1/1; B]
Studying through the rest of the repetitive course information, Kagerou dutifully learned up to the rank A version. Past that, she deemed while easily possible, she had better things to spend her time on. She would, of course, return to this technique later. Perhaps when she was more experienced and it was even easier to learn. [1/1; A]
Bodi Chouin no Jutsu [ Body Sealing Technique ] Rank: C Description: A seal designed for storing, protecting, and preserving bodies. A willing or unconscious target sealed into the scroll is preserved in the state they were upon sealing until they are released again. This means that those who are unconscious will continue to be unconscious until unsealed, and those in need of medical attention will be in the same condition when released. Requires Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Summoning Technique ] to be known. Can be learned as a medical technique by those of the Medic class.
Okay, there was no way Kagerou was just going to find a body lying around. Additionally, she had no interest in committing a crime. Therefore, this was another technique she was only going to read. Then she would put theory into practice at the last minute.[1/1]
Rashoumon [ Rashoumon ] Rank: B Description: By slamming their palm into the ground, the user calls forth a Rashoumon gate, said to be the ultimate defensive wall. Only a very powerful impact can mar the gate, as it can withstand any attack of the same rank. Opening the gate causes a powerful vacuum effect that sucks in matter up to the capacity of a connected Fuunyuu no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ]. Requires minimum B-Rank training in Fuunyuu no Jutsu [ Enclosing Technique ], Kuchiyose no Jutsu [ Summoning Technique ] and knowing Kuchiyose: Usuimon [ Summoning: Rainwater Gate ].
Kagerou looked at the technique. Kagerou scrawled down the symbols. Then Kagerou slightly modified the symbols. Then she summoned a mini rashoumon. Success. Also cute. [1/1]
Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [ Shadow Clone Technique ] Rank: B Description: This technique creates up to 3 solid clones of the user. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after one or two decent blows. They can also disperse on their own. Shadow clones can't be distinguished from the original even by doujutsu. This clone can use any technique the user knows. A clone can have anywhere from 1 Chakra to all but 1 Chakra of the user's pool. The same goes for stamina. Each clone takes 15 Chakra to create. The clone disperses if it receives a hit C-Rank or higher or runs out of Chakra or Stamina. When a clone is dispersed, any knowledge it gained while active is transferred to the original, and any remaining Chakra and Stamina is returned to the user. Shadow clones may not leave the same thread that the user is in. The only exception is that a village leader may use shadow clones to aid them in managing the village, although the clones still cannot leave the village.
Okay. Another classic. Who didn’t know this technique? It was superior to every other clone tech. Handsigns then boom. Kagerou has a clone. [1/1]
Atatameru [ To Warm ] Rank: E Description: This technique is able to produce a harmless flame coating around one's hand, which quickly warms anything in contact with it. The flame burns at body temperature, enough to quickly warm but not enough to become uncomfortable in the short duration.
Take a ball. Hold the ball. Clasp the ball. Hand signs then make it warm. [1/1]
Fukumen no Jutsu [ Veil Technique ] Rank: E Description: A stall technique which really only helps Genin in this stage of learning accustom themselves to the less subtle methods of Katon. Performing the necessary seals, the user claps their hand in front of them. A hot white flash erupts from their hands, bright enough to cause spots in the vision of onlookers. With this opening, the user is able to make a hasty escape or even move in for a killing blow. Causes a slight decrease in opponent's reflexes for 1 post.
Take some hands. Clap them hands. Woosh! Wave of fire! Bright fire! Warm, kind of hot fire! [1/1]
Hi no Hochou [ Fire's Step ] Rank: X [E to learn] Description: An elemental step technique that allows for 1 flaming foothold to be placed as one wishes, any time after activation. Lasts until the end of the battle. Requires no handsigns. Each rank doubles the amount of steps available. Steps are solid to the touch and do not linger for longer than a post after deployment. When deployed, they can appear directly underneath one's foot, hand, body, and so on.
Kagerou looked up from her books. With some hand signs, a stairway of fire footholds appeared before her. She put her hand down on one. Yes, nice and solid. [1/1]
Shoumeidan no Jutsu [ Flare Technique ] Rank: E Description: By molding Chakra into their lungs, the user is able to exhale a short burst of heat and flame which basically explodes from the mouth. The fire itself actually only lasts for about a second, but even with its short lifespan, it can clearly illuminate dark places, even if only for a moment.
In satisfaction, Kagerou expressed her happiness with the next technique on the list. She gave out a huff of breath. The breath came out as fire. Warm fire. Bright fire. [1/1]
Tanebi no Jutsu [ Cinder Technique ] Rank: E Description: This technique allows a person to snap their fingers and ignite a spark anywhere they so wish. A simple spark and no more, this Jutsu is used mostly in pranks and the like, though it can ignite highly combustible things.
A snap of her fingers. Sparks flying between thumb and fore. Another snap of her finger. Sparks flying in the distance. Books on fire. Oh no. [1/1]
Yurika no Jutsu [ Fire Lily Technique ] Rank: A Description: Breathing in and expanding their lungs to an almost impossible size, the user breathes out three gigantic fireballs. A highly draining technique, it more than makes up for the Chakra consumption in potency. Entire engagements have both started and ended with this one technique, easily felling multiple enemies in one ferocious attack. Fires three fireballs the size of a small shed.
After swiftly putting out the fire, Kagerou returned to her desk collected books, and finally went outside. She found a nice spot under a tree, facing a barren training field. Then she breathed in. Then she breathed out. Big fire. Bright fire. Hot fire. Thankfully, nothing on fire. [1/1]
Onidourou [ Demon Lantern ] Rank: S Description: This technique releases many ghostly, floating fireballs around the user. After performing the required hand seal, they attack the opponent in swarms. Each fireball creates a huge flame 6 meters across at the moment of impact. Creates 8 fireballs per use of the technique. Fireballs will continue chasing the target with C-Rank speed until otherwise stopped or they hit their mark for up to three posts. Cannot be used again until all generated fireballs are gone.
More fire! Final technique… for katon. Inwards crying that this training is nowhere near its end. Kagerou dutifully read. She didn't cry. She only smiled. Why would she cry while studying? [1/2]
Studying was interesting. Looking at the complicated hand signs, alone, took several minutes. However, the difficult technique wasn’t out of her reach. She performed the hand signs. Her chakra beckoned. Fireballs appeared, floating around Kagerou in an eerily beautiful manner. [2/2]
Kaze Bunshin [ Wind Clone ] Rank: E Description: A typical clone formed of wind. It is easily bested by any sort of skill, but this clone is still better than the average Bunshin as it is able to attack and be attacked.
Monkey see. Monkey do. Kagerou had made a wind clone with relatively no difficulty. Now, she and the clone were just copying each other. [1/1]
Kaze Fuuchuufuyuu [ Wind Levitation ] Rank: E Description: Utilizing and controlling the wind, the user is able to force wind beneath an object in order to lift it from the ground. The effectiveness of this Jutsu is very much dependent upon the weight of the object in question. The weight limit for this technique caps out at 10 kg. The object can be lifted up to 2 meters in the air and will fall at the end of the post.
By the power of the wind, Kagerou levitated! Haha! Watch her in her splendor! She just levitated a book! What? You thought she levitated herself? Psh. This E-rank tech couldn't do that. [1/1]
Kaze no Hochou [ Wind's Step ] Rank: X [E to learn] Description: An elemental step technique that allows for 1 foothold of wind to be placed as one wishes, any time after activation. Lasts until the end of the battle. Does not require handsigns. Each rank doubles the amount of steps available. Steps are solid to the touch and do not linger for longer than a post after deployment. When deployed, they can appear directly underneath one's foot, hand, body, and so on.
You know, most people would do something cool with this technique. They would practice it in a combat practical way. They would learn it inside out, and how to steady themselves upon the makeshift steps. Not Kagerou. She just used it, tested it, and carried on. She'd already spent more than 10 years training her balance for this kind of technique, after all. [1/1]
Ryouki [ Cool Air ] Rank: E Description: This technique is able to produce a harmless cool breeze coating around one's hand, which quickly cools anything in contact with it.
Kagerou felt a bit hot after all that studying. With hand signs, she summoned a cool breeze. The refreshing wind spun around her hand. Bringing it up to her head felt simply sublime. [1/1]
Shinkūken [ Vacuum Sword ] Rank: E Description: The user swings their blade and a gust of wind is released in the arc that it was swung in. The technique is strong enough to stop projectiles that are thrown at the user. Requires a simple one-handed hand sign along with a weapon swing, unless the user has the Mystic Hero discipline, in which the weapon swing is all that is required. Already learned. Replaced with below.
Suiyaku Kaze [ Propelling Winds ] Rank: D Description: By letting loose a short blast of air from their hands, the user is able to fly in the opposite direction with considerable force. Can be used to either move very quickly to the side, or even propel the user up to 15 meters directly upward.
Kagerou didn't have a sword. She did, however, have a fan. She used said fan in place of sword. Swing it down. Wind surrounds it. A gust of wind exploded from it. [1/1]
Tobidougu Soujuu no Jutsu [ Projectile Control Technique ] Rank: X Description: Utilizing power over the wind, the user can control the speed and trajectory of thrown objects. This allows the user to either make a projectile make one sharp turn per rank or alter its speed slightly per rank. Cannot be used defensively effectively on incoming projectile attacks at or higher than one’s body rank.
Then Kagerou threw her fan. She tried to use the wind to control it. First time was not the charm. She proceeded to throw a wide variety of weapons. Finally, she got the hang of the technique. [1/1]
Toridashi Kaze no Jutsu [ Retrieving Wind Technique ] Rank: E Description: A technique that utilizes wind to pull objects toward the user. This technique has a weight limit of 2.5 kg.
Items were scattered all throughout the field, courtesy of the previous technique. Perfect training. Painstakingly, at first, Kagerou brought each item back to her with the power of fuuton. Then, over time, she got the hang of the technique and brought the items in more easily. [1/1]
Hana Chirimai [ Flower Scattering Dance ] Rank: B Description: After forming the needed hand seals, the user will create a spinning vortex of flower petals. This vortex can engulf a target to limit their vision and then slam them into nearby objects.
Honestly, Kagerou just picked up the technique here because it had a pretty name. However, that wasn't to say it was useful. She formed the hand seals, the wind picked up, and the grass about her twisted in the powerful vortex. Leaves and dirt were pulled in, obstructing vision from within. [1/1]
Nadeshiko-Ryū Kōha Reppūken [ Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Gale Fist ] Rank: B Description: Following the principles of Chakra channeling, the user coats their hand in Fuuton Chakra. For 2 posts, all hand-based attacks the user makes are treated as minimally B-Rank in strength with a Fuuton elemental affinity. Shares a slot with Nadeshiko-Ryū Kōha Senkaigiri [ Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Revolving Cut ] if that technique is already known.
Kagerou punch! She cast hand signs and formed the summoned wind around her fist. Pulling her hand back, Kagerou punched straight into the still spinning flower scattering dance. The two technique collided and nullified each other. [1/1]
Nadeshiko-Ryū Kōha Senkaigiri [ Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Revolving Cut ] Rank: B Description: Following the principles of Chakra channeling, the user coats their leg in Fuuton Chakra. For 2 posts, all leg-based attacks the user makes are treated as minimally B-Rank in strength with a Fuuton elemental affinity. Shares a slot with Nadeshiko-Ryū Kōha Reppūken [ Nadeshiko-Style Hardliner Gale Fist ] if that technique is already known.
She didn't have another technique to test this one against this time. However, the concept was practically the same as the previous practice. Hand seals. Then, wind collected around a limb, this time the leg. Kagerou kick! [1/1]
Suiranreppuu [ Jade Severe Gale Wind ] Rank: B Description: Allows the user to coat a weapon in Fuuton Chakra at a distance, levitate, and launch it at something. Can affect any small or medium weapon within 20 meters that isn’t being held by someone else. Requires the user to be stationary.
There was one item Kagerou hadn't pulled back after throwing it. It was her trusty fan. She had kept it out there in foresight to practice this technique on. With hand signs, a breeze collected around the fan. It lifted up the item, spun it in Kagerou's direction, and then shot towards her. [1/1]
Kyoushu no Tokkan [ Assassin’s Rush ] Rank: B :: Augment Base Technique: Suiyaku Kaze [ Propelling Winds ]. Description: Expelling a great deal of Chakra, the user forces a vast amount of wind out of their hands. This blast of wind has two effects: firstly, anything behind the user will likely be knocked over by the blast; secondly, it propels the user extremely quickly in their desired direction. The user may make continual adjustments to their trajectory during this dash. The dash lasts for barely a second, but in that time the user can cover around a kilometer. In order to avoid injury from moving at such high speeds, an additional C-rank amount of chakra must be paid to form a buffer.
Kagerou deftly caught the incoming fan. She had fit another set of hand signs in before her hand was occupied. Wind built up in both hands as Kagerou pushed them to point behind her. Then, the chakra build-up burst, sending Kagerou flying up into the sky. [1/1]
Tandokuhikou [ Solo Flight ] Rank: A Description: This technique grants the user (or someone they touch) the ability to fly freely for 10 posts. While flying, the person affected may expend either Chakra or Stamina for Soft Physical Formless movement techniques.
After she reached the apex, it was only natural she would fall. Her body twisted midair. The fan was brought to her face for her teeth to hold. Another string of hand seals. The wind rushing past her body gathered around her. Spiraling and then conforming around her shape, cushioning it. Until, finally, the sky itself held her aloft. [1/1]
Sansai no Jutsu [ Technique of the Three Calamities of Fire, Flood and Storm ] Rank: S Description: A technique performed by swinging a fan or fan-like object. Similarly to Daikamaitachi no Jutsu, wind is shot forth after the swing, forming a tornado. Should the tornado collide with jutsu of another element, it gains the properties of that element and begins to grow out of control. Affects an entire thread if left to grow for two posts. The tornado acts as though it has no element to begin with, then picks up the elemental weaknesses of whichever element it joins with. After 3 posts, the vortex collapses, spilling a large amount of its element all over the area.
Flying above the training fields, Kagerou looked up into the skies. She was surrounded by nothing now. This would be the best place to practice her next technique. The pinnacle of her fuuton training for now, unlike its equal on the katon list, the spread of this technique was unbelievably large.[1/2]
Hand seals were cast. Then Kagerou took the fan out of her mouth. With a flick, it was opened and it glowed with the power collected within it. The small, fabric weapon was swept back. When it was swept forwards, the wind released from it exploded into a large blast of air that collided with the skies above. The force could sweep down a small village. Luckily, there were no such things in its upwards path. [2/2]
Korabo Training - Self Rank: E - S
Finishing her technique training up to this point and seeing how she still had some time left before meeting with Hono, Kagerou decide she would cool down. Some introspection might be good. She sat down on the empty training grounds, crossed her legs, and closed her eyes. Regulating her breathing, she focused inwards. [E; 1/1]
Meditation, it could be called. However, instead of reciting mantras or incantations to purify her inner self or reach enlightenment, Kagerou focused in on her body. She felt the pulse of her heartbeat, found the rhythm of her breathing. She shifted between the conscious control of these usually conscious acts, seeing the effect that thinking of them caused to them. [D; 1/1]
Eventually, she reached a pace where she could focus without affecting the natural biorhythm of her body. She could concentrate on her own biorhythm and come to know of it better. The metronome of her heart. One-two. One-two. [C; 1/1]
Kagerou's hands, resting upon her legs, made small, slight movements. Both hands, with different symbols. Small gusts of wind and flashes of fire appeared around her body. They were similar in size, and when they clashed, the supported each other, becoming something greater than each part individually. [B; 1/1]
However, it was far from a consistent result. Sometimes, the timing or the location would be off. One would snuff out the other and then die shortly after. Perhaps neither would even cooperate peacefully. [A; 1/1]
Nonetheless, Kagerou continued to focus and meditate on her techniques and how her own chakra flowed through them. She learned the nuances and details of her own casting because, after all, if she couldn't work with herself, then how would she work with others? [S; 1/2]
The flashes coincided, and began to do so reliably. They would build and work with each other. Then Kagerou would stream her chakra with techniques that required a prolonged output of that energy. Having grasped the core basic of this concept, she found it easy to build upon, as usual. She faced difficulties and didn't quite understand everything, like any other normal person, but the rate at which she learned couldn't quite be considered average. [S; 2/2]
Her training finished, Kagerou departed for a prior appointment.

"Ah, yes, my apologies." Honō speaks with an even and sincere tone. "I will not forget your instruction." Straightening, hands clasped in front, the Hari clan member gives a small smile. "Thank you for being so kind and taking the time to instruct me. It would be an honour to join you for a meal." At Kagerou's departure, Honō would bow once again.
装 : Thigh-length, white, cotton haori has its sleeve cuffs edged in a blue strip of cotton. The hakama is cotton as well, with a gradient dye, going, top-down, white to a matching blue. The string ties, or 'himo,' are strands of glass beads, clear in colour and translucent. A matching necklace of these beads is worn around the neck. Underneath the haori, held up by a belt disguised under the tie of the hakama, are several pouches and a blade that, in any normal person's hand, would be would be described as a short sword. The hilt was clearly carved by hand, made of bone, yellowed with age. The blade bore jagged edges on the backside ( a boning edge ) while the other was razor sharp, curved wickedly at the end to act as a gutter. Stamped in the centre of the blade was a bear's paw surrounded in strangely shaped leaves. Traditional tabi, are also worn, marking this individual more of a civilian than a Kumogakure shinobi.

She had walked properly out of the hokage's office only out of respect to the position and authority of the office and building. As soon as she was out of the building, Kagerou was running, wasting no time in getting to the academy. Turning the last corner, one hand clutching down on her hat and the other clutching her bag to her side, she looked more like a schoolgirl running late than the responsible and mature medic that she was supposed to be.
Truth be told, she wasn't sure if she was late. Her unawareness that she was to report to the clinic today as well had been an honest mistake. She wasn't even aware she was going to come in today, much less at what time. Shi telling her that the academy had prepared a work roster had been news to her. Though, it had been her fault for not checking in with anyone else after she was relieved of her makeshift shift. She had been careless and too comfortable.
Breezing into the academy, Kagerou was determined to do it right this time. By the books, so to speak. She would find the person in charge of the clinic at the academy this time, and make sure to get all the information from them instead of just filling in haphazardly.

With some but not much effort, Kagerou finally found the supervisor of the academy based clinics and received her work schedule. Her appearance couldn't have been more timely, nor lucky. The medic usually in charge of the nurse's office she had taken over the previous day had to take a sudden absence and then now he was on paternity leave. Since she had handled it well even without asking for any permission, Kagerou had simply been tasked with the same office. Convenient.
Kagerou unlocked the door to the clinic she would be calling her work home for the forseeable future and switched on the lights. Inside, she found everything much the same as the other day: the average school nurse's office. "Working my schedule around this work schedule," Kagerou plotted as she dropped her bag on the desk, signed in, and then sifted through a delivery box she found on her desk, "I'll come in early morning to train, then take evening classes. That'll leave me time to take on extra shifts at the hospital if I'm lucky enough to get such an opportunity." The inside of the box was chock full of medical supplies, which drew a bigger smile than the norm from Kagerou. Fantastic, it seems like the low supplies from before would be remedied now. [1/5]
A clipboard and file were placed neatly besides the box. Flipping through their pages, she quickly caught up, and taking the clipboard with her, she reviewed everything that had been brought in as she pulled up the blinds and opened the windows nice and wide. The refreshing morning breeze and light spilled into the room as Kagerou turned around and returned to the desk. According to what she saw, another medic had already verified that the contents of the delivery matched the bill of lading and recorded the new inventory into the clinic's inventory logs. [2/5]
In her prior experience, all that should be left to do now would be to put the inventory into the shelves for future use. However, just in case Konoha did something different, she rummaged around for the binder of handy dandy clinic instructions she was told she'd be able to find somewhere on the desk. Following the instructions in the manual, she followed the manual step by step. Confirmation, check. Inventory record, check. [3/5]
All that left was to, indeed, shelve the inventory. Picking up from that point, Kagerou started to properly sort and organize the supplies in the box into the shelves. She took the time as she moved around to familiarize herself with the clinic. Bandages were kept here. Swabs were in that container over there. Of course, any drug that could be remotely abused was kept safely locked away. [4/5]
The top shelf was juuuust out of sight, however. She could reach up there, but couldn't quite see as much as she'd like. With a twist of her feet, she kicked a step stool to her position and hopped atop it to better survey what was up there. After mentally accounting for what each upper shelf held or was supposed to hold, Kagerou brought the last of the inventory to organize. She couldn't be bothered to kick/drag the stool to each section of the cupboard, though, so for every other section, she was stretching on tip toes to reach. Tip toe up, push the items in, hop a few times here and there to get them in juuust the right place, tip toe down, sliiiide to the left, rinse and repeat. The braided green hair bobbed lively with the activity and a farming folk tune was soon being hummed from her lips. [5/5]

Shortly after Kagerou finished organizing the clinic, the first patient came in. He was a man who looked to be in his forties, of burly build and gruff voice. "What the?" his gravel-like voice asked as soon as he saw the slim woman who looked up from the medical journal she was reading, "Oh, that's right. They changed doctors here, didn't they?". His low voice made every word he said sound like he was growling. [1/5]
Setting aside the medical journal she was reading at her desk, the green haired medic smoothly stood up and pulled out a chair for the bleeding patient without a moment's hesitation. "Yes, I will fill in until the usual doctor returns from his paternity leave. Please sir, take a seat and tell me what happened," Kagerou assured with a smile as she motioned for the man to take a seat. Her eyes were already answering her question themselves. They could see that blood streamed down the left side of the forehead in spite of the pressure applied by the man's hand over his wound, forcing an eye closed. Most of the bleeding followed down the jawline, dripping off the chin to stain the white shirt the mister wore. [2/5]
"Can't ya damn tell?" apparently disgruntled and short on patience, the man did not sound happy, "I took a helluva banger to the head and I came here so that you could do your job instead of smiling like some nitwit." Nonetheless, he took a seat as instructed and acquiesced to the silent requests of Kagerou's hands, which had gently begun to pry his hand off of the injury. The mess of fresh blood made it difficult to see the extent of the damage, but insofar, Kagerou saw nothing to worry about. Well, obviously, nothing to worry about aside from this man having hurt himself. [3/5]
Smiling, as the man had so eloquently pointed out, Kagerou diagnosed aloud, "Ooh. That certainly looks painful. Please hold still, I'll treat it right away." She began cleaning the wounds with the medical supplies she had collected while getting the man to sit in the chair. Dab away the blood, apply alcohol to sterilize the wound, the works. Her patient was a trooper and he barely even flinched at the sting of the alcohol on his wound, but even a barely flinch wasn't going to escape Kagerou's notice. "Please bear with it for a little longer," the smiling doctor requested. She showed her concern through the careful attention she paid, but she felt, as ever, that smiles were a much better expression for any new encounter. [4/5]
After the cleaning, all that was left was for Kagerou to bandage the wound. She noted out loud as she applied the gauze that the man was lucky to not need stitches, to which she just got a gruff grunt of acknowledgement.
At the end of it all, once the bandages were applied and the man was ready to go, only then did the patient turn to Kagerou and ask, "Hey... Wait, wasn't I supposed to sign in afore I received treatment?"
"Yep!" the teen replied cheerfully as she held up the sign-in clipboard, "Please sign in and out now. Sorry, I didn't think it was going to be easy for you to sign in while you were trying to staunch your bleeding."
"Huff... Kids these days," the patient's voice sounded disgruntled, but nonetheless, he did as he was told before going on his way. [5/5]

It was a peaceful morning, the minutes and then hours crawling by quietly. A few patients visited, and in the spare time the medical ninja had between visits, she diligently filed paperwork and reports on the patients while merrily sipping a cup of tea. Before too long, the morning was all but gone, and with the sun at its zenith, Kagerou saw that it was time for lunch.
Lunch break... Kagerou thought about it for the first few minutes before deciding to leave behind a shadow clone while she went to buy something from the nearest convenience store.

One last look Kagerou gave after stepping off the dojo's training field. She couldn't see Inka over the heads of so many others taller than the average height kage, but Sev's unmistakable head of white hair was easy to spot. She smile when she saw that he didn't seem to have moved from besides the Mizukage and, hoping that things would turn out better for her dear friend, turned to continue her way to the academy.
Right on time, not a moment too late or soon, the green haired medic breezed in, dismissing her shadow clone with a wave of her hand. Nothing new was to be reported. There were no further patients during the break. For the forseeable future, she did not expect anything new of report, either. The academy she walked through was almost like a ghost town. The signal flare shot into the skies had successfully halted the majority of activities within the academy as they took precautions for the chase to potentially carve its way through this part of the village.
One wouldn't suspect that any such tension was rippling across the village if they saw the peaceful smile on Kagerou's face. Like any other day, she set herself up comfortably at the desk and, after neatly folding and setting aside Severin's tie, opened his binder of research notes to preview the matters that would need to be discussed with him.

"Huh?" quizzical red eyes raising from the loaded binder in front of her, the doctor looked over at the doorway, "Come again?". Her right hand had a page of the binder curved up, ready to turn, while her left hand fiddled with the tie she had stolen from Severin.
A fellow medical practitioner stood at the door and reiterated, "You can go now. There's a festival going on right now, so any official business at the academy is closing early today, so most of the staff is getting a free pass to enjoy the festivities." He looked ready to leave himself, with a bag slung over his shoulder.
Kagerou opened her mouth in a silent, "Ah," but before letting her coworker go, she snuck in one last question, "Um I was thinking about going to the hospital for some classes. Do you think they might..." She let the question linger in the air, inviting the other side to finish it for her.
"Nope, I think all the classes will be on break during the festival, too," the other side finished, shaking his now, "Now, toodaloo~ I hope you enjoy how us Konoha folk enjoy our summers!". With that, he was gone and out of sight.
The seated medic didn't make any particular effort to chase after him either. Humming to herself, she sat alone for a little bit, staring into the wall in thought. Her eyes glanced down at the binder open in front of her. This was her second time reading through it. There really had been no patients this afternoon and-
Her stomach growled.
Kagerou smiled in helpless embarrassment.
It was looong past lunch, closer to dinner in fact. She wasn't normally this weak to food, but she was right now, probably because a small part of her had expected some food to come her way by now, but well... She wasn't particularly unhappy to be hungry. Severin wasn't the type to forget a favor out of the blue. If he forgot, then there was a good chance that he really did get in a meaningful talk with Inka. If he was happy, then she was.
Her stomach growled again.
Smirking down at her stomach, the teen raised an eyebrow and blew a strand of forest green hair out of her eyes. "Fine, be like that," she challenged her own body organ. From looking down, she stretched out and up, leaning backwards over the chair. "Aaaaah, what did he say, again? 'how us Konoha folk enjoy our summers'? Well, color me interested. This is also something important to learn," thinking aloud to herself, Kagerou straightened herself back out and organized her workspace. Binder with the tie inside of it was stowed away into a sealing scroll she had. the rest was neatly arranged into pristine condition. The lights were turned off, and the medic left to see what all this excitement was about.

Enter from the void
At the academy, Kagerou was closing up after another active day at the clinic, tending to construction workers and students alike. She looked at her planner for the rest of this day's activities. She'd awoken early to get in her daily training already, then did a spot of more training during her lunch break, snacking between patients to keep the edge off of her hunger. Still, she should pick up some dinner on her way to her classes at the hospital.
"Hm...," the green hair waved to and fro as Kagerou swayed her head to and fro in thought, "I could try more specials at the ramen stand, or... Hm... The other medic also gave me a bunch of other recommendations, too. Oh! Maybe I'll try that burger joint."
She was talking to herself and pulling her shoulder bag over and above her head when she heard the knock on the frame of the open door and following inquiry, "Are you, perchance, the medic Kagerou-san?".
Letting the bag drop onto her shoulder but keeping her hand upon the strap so that she could take it off right away, Kagerou turned to the inquirer and confirmed, "Yes, this is she," nodding amiably in an open manner. The liveliness of her eyes detracted from the way she, as naturally as she breathed, watched the other side. She picked up from their wear that they were a Leaf shinobi of some sort, on the clock. Probably a messenger.
By this point in her examination, Kagerou heard the purpose of this visit from the guest himself, "A missive." That was the only explanation provided. The rest, Kagerou understood the lacking information to mean, was for her to find out from the folded held out to her.
Taking the note, the kunoichi opened it, curiosity prevalent in her expressions, and read through the contents. She could hear the retreating footsteps even as she started reading.
Moana Eloi, a surprising but familiar name. Kagerou was a girl who always smiled, but her smile grew softer as she re-read the strokes that formed the name, just to make sure. The girl was someone she largely did not know, but the person that connected the two of them was someone she would be hard-pressed to deny. Therefore, in that same vein, she would naturally adjust her schedule for this meeting. It was the least she could do.
"Hmmm," Kagerou wondered as she folded the missive and stowed it away in her hoodie's pocket, "What did that Nurse Joi say about the convenience stores? He recommended the pork belly bento, but he also mentioned an oyakodon bento. Mm... I'm feeling like eggs. I think I'll go with that one."
Kageton: Endai Yami [ Shadow Release: Far Reaching Darkness ] Rank: D :: Spiritual Description: The user gathers their shadow onto their arms, generating a pair of long black gloves. Once formed, the focused shadow can be extended or retracted depending on the amount of available darkness. These shadow gloves can then be manipulated as extra-malleable limbs. After the initial hand casting, a simple chakra upkeep will allow these to stay.
Kuro Higanbana [ Black Spider Lily ] Rank: D :: Spiritual Description: After trapping the enemy with the Shadow Sewing Technique, the user can then manipulate the shadow to bring them closer to themselves. Requires a connected Kage Nui no Jutsu to apply the shortening/extending of the shadows. Is allowed to be added on to Nami no Gengetsu to transform it into an impact & pushing/pulling type.
Kageton: Kage Kibou [ Shadow Release: Shadow Trick ] Rank: D :: Spiritual Description: The user will manipulate a shadow in such a way as to hide the true appearance of an obstacle or person. This is done by forming patches over holes, or masks over faces. With additional manipulation, the shadow can be made ever more deceptive. This is considered an imitation technique, and as such cannot do physical actions. Despite this, the deception can be considered a much higher form of Henge no Jutsu.
Kageton: Kage no Yaiba [ Shadow Release: Shadow Blade ] Rank: C :: Spiritual Description: The user will gather their own shadow into their hand in order to create a false blade. Whence formed, the focused shadow can be extended or retracted depending on the amount of available darkness. Unfortunately, the blade formed this way has very minimal cutting abilities, and is often compared to a generic thug's sword. Is not usable for high end Bukijutsu due to its fragility, but is highly usable in conjunction with other Clan jutsu. (like Endai Yami or Kage Kibou)
Kageton: Nami no Gengetsu [ Shadow Release: Wave of the Crescent Moon ] Rank: C :: Spiritual Description: The user presses their hand against a shadow, not necessarily their own, and then pushes it forward. The shadow will rise up roughly six feet, making it appear to be a tall, thin black ocean wave, and swiftly travel across whatever surface it originated from, until the shadow's maximum area is met. Rather than possessing impact and pushing power, the black wave has an incredible amount of cutting potential, slicing through trees like butter. Can be combo'd with Kuro Higanbana to change this jutsu to an impact & pushing/pulling jutsu.
Shikatsu, after tending to his wounds from his spar with the Kage, Decided he needed to broaden his repertoire of techniques. He went into a side area so that he was alone and set up the room. He made a hand sign and his shadow crawled up his body and wrapped around his arms to form a pair of long black gloves. he reached over and grabbed something off a table that was half way across the room and brought it back to himself. This just would come in handy later, but now onto the next one.
For the next few he would need a partner so he weaved a hand seal and summoned 3 shadow clones to help out. The all got in different locations around the room and waited to be used as test dummies. HE performed a hand sign then sent his shadow out in the form of several shadow spikes. His target for this was a chair, which he would probably have to replace after this, as it got skewered with his shadow. He then changed the hand seal once and started pulling his shadow, and in turn the chair, closer to him until it was just a foot away.
The next just was a lot easier, he just had to move and mold his shadow. He first did it by covering a few holes his shadow just made in the ground, hiding them from a persons view. He then waved his hand in front of his face and made a shadow mask appear. If he ever needed to hide in quickly this would work well.
Shikatsu was feeling good as he was on a roll and proceeded with the next one. He once again brought his shadow up his body and into his hand, only this time he formed a long slender sword with it. It wasn't to strong but was sharp enough to at least cut something if needed.
Having tested it out he knelt down and placed his hand on the ground in the middle of a show that was being created by a wall's window. The shadow began to rise up and pushed forwards like a black wave. As it neared one of his clones it passed through him and sliced into him before dispersing the clone.
Having learned several jutsu in a row he decided to take a small brake from training.

Akahana ╰☆╮ Kinuko
Chakra: 340/340 ※ Stamina: 200/200
It is my nature to be kind gentle and loving, but know this: When it comes to matters of protecting my friends, my family, and my heart; Do Not trifle with me. For I am the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know.
Akahana sighed as she made her way into the academy, being questioned the way she had been when she received her headband was exhausting. She scrubbed at her face and sighed again as she hurried over to the wall of scrolls and looked through them to find what she wanted. She also grabbed a blank scroll and a pencil to write down what she wanted to learn so that she didn't have to keep all the scrolls with her. It would be much simpler that way. She sat down at a table and began to make a list on the once empty piece of paper and sighed as she waited for Derych and Iyuko to show up. They had to be right behind her.
Arriving in the Academy he made his way inside and began to make a mental note of where some of the clan jutsu were located. He had to discover the secrets of his own blood before he jumped into too much else. Doton, Koton, Katon, and his bloodline with the hearts. It was horrible that he didn't even know what the clan name was. While looking at the scrolls he quickly found Akahana looking like she had a slew of scrolls already out for her."Waiting long? Or just really know what you want?"as he picked up one of her scrolls just taking a look at it. Not bothering to give it back.
It is my nature to be kind gentle and loving, but know this: When it comes to matters of protecting my friends, my family, and my heart; Do Not trifle with me. For I am the most powerful and relentless creature you will ever know.
Akahana looked up, she hadn't been in the academy long, and her list was only partially completed, Derych was faster than she gave him credit for. She smiled at him, and noticed that he had accidentally picked up the Katon scroll. Thankfully she had already made note of what she wanted from there for the time being. Akahana put her pencil down and looked up at Derych, and she did mean up. He was easily a near foot taller than her when she was standing. When sitting down she had to crane her neck just to look at his face instead of his hips. Not that she minded the face-to-abs view. She shook her head and pointed at the list she had been working on, "I wasn't here long, but I had already had an idea of some of the things I wanted to train, other than the obvious chakra and stamina. I'm making a list now so that I don't have to keep going back and forth to the scrolls and find what I need. What were you planning on working on? Anything I could help you with?" She would like to think that she didn't sound desperate, but she couldn't be sure if it was the truth or not. She had a crush on Derych, to her it was painfully obvious, and the fact that Iyuko teased the hell out of her for it made it plenty clear it was obvious to others as well. But she had no idea where Derych stood; because he didn't act like he knew. Either he was unaware, or he was trying to be nice and hoped she'd grow out of it without him having to reject her. Honestly things were simpler when her only concern was class and staying out of her smothering Father's affections.
Nodding his head to her he was impressed she got this far with her Jutsu wants just in the time it took him to leave the office and catch up. She surely had her collection of jutsu to learn. She had a strong affinity for the elements lacking literally just the one. Ironically the only element she lacked was the one that Derych possessed. He did however need to focus a bit on finding his own bloodline techniques so that he could further his learning from his blood techniques. It seemed as good a start as any. Looking down at the scroll he had grabbed, he noticed Akahana looking at his hip area for a moment before she looked up to him what he was going to train and if she could help. Being that it was going to be more of a bloodline-related training that might have proved hard to assist with. Though the scroll he held had some very basic techniques for fire. None really appealed to him though one did seem like it could be useful to set off various forms of a trap. As he slightly studied the lesson for the Cinder technique while answering her, and checking his hip to see if something was on it with his hand. "I figured i'd learn the arts my parents knew, it might be a good start to figure out what potential was inside me. Other than the... multiple heart thing. As useful as it might be, that alone won't help a ton. Earth release, Steel release will be my first focuses." He snapped his finger having allocated a bit of chakra into his fingers and drawing from his second heart. A spark ignited as if he was saying *bingo* with his snap. "It's really not as hard as it was all made out to be." Could be a fairly easy way to ignite a fuse or something of the sort. He having finished the jutsu he wanted from that particular scroll handed it back to Akahana. "Thanks for that."
