Haruna sat staring for a moment as her tornado flowers dissappeared only to be replaced by a fearsome sandstorm. She sat, squinting her eyes as the winds whipped her pigtails all around her. The petite girl started to slid to the side a bit, but she quickly had Goliath steady her with his hand. The girl sat for a long moment, staring as the sand started to build up against her side. This was definitly not the best situation to be in. She couldn't see anything more than a few feet in front of her, and she currently had no way of telling which direction anything was. After sitting and staring at the sand long enough for most of her lap to get covered by sand, she had Goliath move his massive hands around her, creating a small sort of shelter for her to think about her next move. The large hands met together, one on the side facing against the wind, and one over top of her. She immediatly noticed the noise dye down now that she had the small protection, and took a moment to shake a sandbox worth amout of sand out of her ear.
After dusting herself off, she took out the map from its place on her hip. According to it, she still had a long way to go before her next stop. If she waited for the sandstorm to blow over, it could be well into the night, and possibly even the next day, before she could get moving. She didn't have enough supplies to comfortably last that long, plus it got very cold at night in the desert. She would have to figure out some way to make it to her next destination without 1) getting lost and 2) being scrapped raw by the sand in the air. She thought for a moment before she came up with a plan. She looked down on the map, and saw a compass rose in the corner. She remembered she had traveled north east to get to where she was, and had sat down facing back the way she came. That meant the way she was facing was southwest, which meant north east was directly behind her. She needed to keep going north east to get to the oasis, but she had to have some way of keeping track of her direction. After grabbing the map between her legs, she began making a long string of hand seals, activating several justu. When she was finished, she lifted the map back up towards her face, and noted which way each arrow was pointing. With a wave of her hand, a stone hard compass rose appeared before her, floating in the air. She looked at the compass, and had it move so that southwest was facing directly in front of her and north east was facing directly behind her.
After being satisfied with the position of the compass rose, Harune had Goliath lift up his hands. The sand and wind immediatly buffetted her as she had Goliath lift her once again up onto his shoulders, the compass rose floating up with her, never moving from the way it had been positioned. As soon as she was comfortably seated on the puppet, she waved her hand creating a large, sphereical barrier of words to surround her entire body and a good portion of Goliath's upper torso. The sound of wind immediatly died down until Haruna moved some of the words around to create an eye slight for her to see out off. small amounts of sand and wind blew in through the slit, but it was still much better than being constantly buffeted by it all over. She floated the compass rose in front of her slit, positioning it so it was always at the bottom of her field of view. After creating several smaller barriers of stone hard words to float around, but not on or in, Goliath's joints, the pink haired girl once again began having goliath move forward, this time towards the north easterly direction the compass rose was facing.
As the girl move on, she began leaving a trail of floating, stone hard letter behind her so that if she got lost she could retrace her steps, and so she could make sure that she was traveling in an exactly straight line north east. She hoped that her plan would help her to her next destination, but one could never tell when dealing with the mysteries of the desert.
Hayaku Kakuno no Jutsu (Speed writing Jutsu)
E-rank Ninjutsu
This is a special jutsu used by scholars that is activated by a one handed handseal. Rather than spending all that time writing their note, this jutsu allows them to automatically write with their minds for ten posts. This can be used to take notes, and make pretty pictures, but cannot write seals. When used by itself, it allows the user to only write on solid objects and surfaces that are up to ten feet away, but this jutsu can be combined with other jutsu to allow it to write on liquids or even the air itself. Also, the writing from this jutsu can be affected by other types of jutsu that would alter writing, such as any jutsu that would make the writing a different color, or a jutsu that would make writing invisible.
Kuchuu Kakuno no jutsu (Air writing technique)
D-rank Ninjutsu
This is a special jutsu that allows the user to write on thin air rather than on actual material for five posts after making the appropriate hand seals. The writing is more or less levitating, and adheres to anything that runs through it as it's floating. The writing will stay floating until something runs into it. If combined with any kind of jutsu that would allow one to write with their mind, or something similar, the writing can be created within a five foot radial sphere of the user, but if written manually, it can be written as far away as the users writing implement can reach.
Kakuno o Ugokimawaru no Jutsu (Technique of moving writing)
D-rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: Kuchuu Kakuno no jutsu (Air writing technique)
This jutsu allows the user to move any writing that has been written on the air within a thirty foot radius of themselves at a speed equal to the average of their ninjutsu and control stats for five posts after making the appropriate handseals. This is very convenient if you are in a large lecture hall trying to write a bunch of stuff, but don't want to have to keep going from one bunch of floating notes to the other. This jutsu is not limited in the ways they can move the writing. This means that the user can rotate the writing, make it undulate, or take pieces away from certain sections of note, and move them to other sections of note.
Ishi no Kanuno no Jutsu (Stone Writing Technique)
C-rank Fuuinjutsu
This is a special jutsu that makes anything that the user writes for the next 7 posts as hard as stone. This may seem weird, but it makes it so the writing will never smudge, and, if combined with other jutsu, it can be used for defense and/or offense. If words written with this jutsu are written in the air, they take on a hardened quality, no longer automatically sticking onto whatever surface passes through them, but becoming more like floating pieces of stone than anything else. It takes 4 strength to break through words at this level.
