[closed] How many Ninja does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

[TyDie]

When Fanho mentioned pushing Kiyori harder than she had ever been pushed before, she was expecting an early wake up followed by a week's worth of training crammed into a single day. Instead, she found herself slightly grumpy, tapping her foot impatiently on Fanho's front porch. His exact words were "noon, no earlier and no later." And according to the clock she could see through his window, it was currently 11:58. "Is Lord Hokage Takeo certain that this is the best Awai to teach me Hiton? Kyoko, you sensed him right?" No actually, I've been abstaining from all chakra use aside from merging with you since I got here. You said you didn't want to make anyone uneasy, as the nature of our visit was touchy at best.

The voice rang through her head, and a small sigh escaped Kiyori's lungs. "Well, he's in the house somewhere right? Try and get a bead on the young Awai. A judge of his power level, if you can." Without a word, a couple of hands emerged from Kiyori's stomach, performing a series of hand seals before Kyoko would sense outward from Kiyori's position. Alright, I've found his signature in the house... he's moving alright. And his power... AHH!" The shriek actually hurt Kiyori's ears as the young Dasu performed the evaluation jutsu, and immediately dropped her hands back into Kiyori's body in shock. "What Kyoko? He can't be that strong."

"Kiyori, he far exceeds your own signature. I haven't sensed chakra that strong since the last time I sensed Hito-sama!" Kiyori's mouth opened ever so slightly in response to her companion's information. Wow... how could such a slacker be so powerful? By the time she realized it and looked through Fanho's window again, the clock face said 12:02. With a gasp, Kiyori lunged towards the door and knocked, realizing that now she was the one who was late.

~[Molecular Fusion: Effortless Preferred]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
After doing the needed hand seals, the user will near instantly meld with their preferred host without much effort.

*[Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: Ninjutsu/Control/Instinct stats of 10
The sensor jutsu is used by shinobi to feel chakra sources within a radius of 25 meters. While this jutsu is fairly helpful in sensing chakra, it is unable to actually pinpoint specific chakras outside of 10 feet. This only gives the Shinobi an idea of how many entities with chakra are present in their general area.

*[Sensory Style • Evaluation]
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisites: *[Sensory Style • Beyond Senses]
The sensor will activate their sensory jutsu, and then do an additional set of hand seals. By doing so, the user will be able to compare the “strength” of each source of chakra they are able to sense to each other. The “strength” of the individual is determined by the average of each person’s Stamina, Control and Strength stats. The user can determine who has more chakra strength than others, allowing them to pick out possible risks. This technique is not very reliable as a determining factor, however.

As Fanho rolled out of bed at the startling scream outside his door, his eyes woke up in a hazy one-two movement as the other lagged behind catching up to the first. "Wha-ha?" The young Jounin yawned as he shot up in a sitting position on his floor. He cocked his head around as he quickly deduced the scream didn't come from his home but outside. In quick fashion Fanho shot up to his door as the repetitive knocking from a panicked hand kept battering his door. As he opened the door Kiyori would be greeted by the young Awai in gym shorts and a grey t-shirt with his hair obviously a mess from just waking up. "Oh its you..." Fanho glanced at the clock as he chuckled before rubbing the back of his head smiling. "Huh, it is time for that training I guess?"

The young kid yawned as he ushered to the dining table in his quaint simple home. The walls we're traditional paper Shoji, but the furniture was more modern as was the appliances in his home. The structure and basis of the house betrayed the internal furniture that lined the walls, however there was little artwork, and mainly family pictures or paintings. Some of which Fanho did as a juvenile. There was a large framed photo with his entire family including his parents and his four siblings, Fanho obviously being the youngest while his siblings we're all similarly aged. Fanho in the picture was aged seven when it was taken, his siblings being eighteen freshly Specialist Jounin he was still progressing in the academy. It was quite the large family, and after all Fanho lived in quite a large house. However it seemed empty as only Fanho and Kiyori's footsteps echoed through the halls.

"Have a seat, and let me get dressed. I don't think gym shorts and a t-shirt are a good look." As Fanho retreated to his room once more, it only took mere seconds for him to get dressed in his usual attire of a black shirt with a white hoodie draping over tapered with black pants held with a belt that had more than enough utilities attached to it. "Well I hoped to wake up earlier to make lunch, but ah.. What can you do?" The young Jounin shrugged with a cheeky grin as he reached into his fridge grabbing a premade packed peanut butter and jelly sandwich holding two packages entrapped between his fingers and retrieving two water bottles he held one pair out to Kiyori offering lunch. "It may not be much, but its honestly pretty good. The convenience makes it taste way better." His hushed whisper of the sandwiches praise only emphasized how good the proposed taste was.

[TyDie]

Kiyori was dumbstruck by what she saw before her. Large house, fairly well kept, but relatively empty despite a few family photos and some nice furniture. But according to Kyoko, Fanho's signature was the only one in the home, which told Kiyori that Fanho was currently alone... Whether or not that was because his family was busy or 'absent' was a mystery. But given the man's happy-go-lucky nature, she assumed they were just away on various business purposes. After all, Fanho wasn't nearly broody enough to be someone who had lost their family, and more realistically, he likely wouldn't display their pictures so prominently if some tragedy had occurred.

By the time her eyes scanned the available rooms, she finally registered the young shinobi's attire... goodness, he had literally just rolled out of bed hadn't he? Bedhead hair, wrinkly clothes, even a drool mark on the side of his face! How in the world can this guy be as strong as he is with these sorts of habits? Sleeping till noon, eating prepackaged 'sandwiches' instead of something with decent nutritional value... Some people get all the talent I guess." A small shrug was the only betrayal of her inner thoughts, and she proceeded to accept Fanho's offering of food and water with slight reluctancy.

"Much appreciated Fanho, although I have to ask; there's no meat in this right?" Assuming the answer was yes, Kiyori would quickly unwrap the small sandwich and take a small nibble, finding the taste oddly satisfying. Her eyebrows raised in slight surprise as she swallowed, chasing the gooey peanut butter with water before smiling at the young Awai. "So... I doubt you want to be throwing around ninjutsu techniques in your home. Where do you propose we relocate to for this training? I apologize if i'm being too pushy, but I'm very eager to understand a bit more of what i'm capable of now. I'm sure you can understand that."

"Uh, Kiyori... I didn't eat..." The meek voice of her Dasu companion rang through her head, though Fanho would hear nothing. A small sigh escaped Kiyori before she took one final swig off the water bottle and held up both the sandwich and the bottle. Suddenly, two separate arms seemed to emerge as if from nowhere from Kiyori's shoulders, followed by Kyoko's head emerging from the girl's right collarbone. To say the sight was strange was an understatement, but for Kiyori and Kyoko it was as normal as breathing. Her partner gladly accepted both the bottle and sandwich, taking a few bites and drinks while Kiyori stood there, slightly embarassed by the whole situation. "...She didn't eat this morning." A light blush crept over Kyoko's face, but she wasn't deterred from the food.

[Director]

As Fanho chowed down with the half the sandwich in his mouth hanging out as Kiyori inquired about the substance of the sandwich, he cocked his head back at an angle like that of a dog. "Me-ath?" The young shinobi shook his head as he removed the sandwich from his mouth retrieving two more water bottles from his fridge as he slipped them in his back pouch. With a large gulp of the sandwich followed by water to wash it down with his ears twitched at Kiyori's next question about relocating to somewhere else for the training. She was right in that aspect, Fanho quite liked his home, and hadn't had plans to redecorate with an explosive passion.

"There's a plateau out of the village not far from here. I usually go there to train." As Fanho double checked his fridge was closed, and everything else was sorted he turned around right as he noticed hands and a head appearing from Kiyori's stomach. "Who-ha wah?" Fanho muttered at the minor surprise before seemingly a light bulb went off in his head. "Right, right, your friend Kyoko? I guess that just takes getting used to it." Before Fanho's own companion ringed in his ear, "You have one inside you too dumb ass." Fanho frowned at his companions own harsh comments before looking back at Kiyori.

"We should probably start heading out, I packed extra stuff so if anyone gets hungry." As he began walking towards the door Fanho retrieved a shuriken as his hands began to glow purple slowly recreating a second shuriken within mere seconds. As the new shuriken formed Fanho searched through his head for a minute adjusting for the wind, angle, strength required, and etc necessary to make the proper lob where he needed it to be. As Fanho took a few steps to the side he held his hand out to ensure Kiyori wouldn't stick too close as he winded up his right arm before making a helluva pitch towards the sky as the shuriken curved and flew off into the distance disappearing into the air almost entirely out of sight. Fanho tucked the second shuriken between his fingers as he counted on his finger to keep track of the travel time.

"I think that's enough time. Let me see your hand." Fanho held his hand out and assuming Kiyori would take it, within seconds the duo would be instantly transported onto a plateau that was quite a few thousand meters outside of Konoha. The place was torched with large craters within it, several burn spots due to intense heat, and dusty from things being incinerated. "Aaaand we're here."

Jutsu UsedShow

Recycle & Open Space: True Link
A-rank Ninjutsu
Fanho will channel enough chakra then place one hand on an any object small enough to fit in their grasp. Upon doing so, he will Recycle Space, creating an exact duplicate of that object. The duplicate of said object will act as an Anchor, turning both objects into links to each other. Should any party aside from the Architect come in contact with either anchor, they’ll be instantly transported to the other Anchor either a) they elect to or b) their control is less than the control of the Architect. The Architect can opt to use the Anchor at any point as well, should they so choose.

[TyDie]

Kiyori nodded in understanding of the supposed training area that Fanho wanted to relocate to, although the distance was decent to say the least. She imagined at least a 15 minute hike, given a decent speed. She let out a small chuckle at Fanho's response to Kyoko. "Yeah... It's relatively normal in Suna, what with an entire clan of Dasu walking around. Sometimes I honestly forget she's there, she's so quiet usually and i'm just used to her being there." Kyoko gave a light smile as she finished her food, handing the bottle back to Kiyori before letting out a small nervous chuckle and disappearing once more back within Kiyori.

She would follow Fanho outside, noting the strange technique he had performed to create a secondary copy of his shuriken. A quick scan of memories with Hito-sama quickly pointed out that this was the same style of ninjutsu the Kazekage was known to use frequently. "...Jikukan? Fascinating, at such a young age you're capable of the same style our Kazekage is known for. This will make our trip to your training grounds much quicker I imagine, Kazekage Hito uses it frequently for travel." Sure enough, a few seconds passed and Fanho would grab her hand. A moment later, the two were suddenly standing in a barren landscape, full of craters and dust from previous ninjutsu techniques.

The damage to the lands was indicative of some incredibly powerful jutsu too, yet more proof that Fanho was far more than he seemed to be. "Alright Sensei, where do you want to start? Should I show you what I've figured out on my own, or are you gonna learn me from scratch?" The emphasis on the word 'sensei' was full of playful sarcasm, and that paired with improper and casual speech patterns would hopefully convey Kiyori's growing comfort around Fanho. Now that the proverbial hatchet was buried, she was super excited to learn what Her Light had blessed her with.

[Director]

As they teleported to the plateau instantly, Fanho turned around to Kiyori. "Kazekage huh? Never met the guy. Is he anything like wolf man here? Old, dated, and going to be surpassed?" Fanho gave a cheeky grin as he kept a competitive playful nature even concerning other Kage. Its true, Fanho wasn't one for honorifics. Its was simply boring and untrue to his character. Honorifics we're also not apart of Fanho's upfront nature. He wasn't one to shy away from his feelings, but he also felt honorifics we're a little bit plastic and fake. He'd rather joke, get along, and be goofy than uptight and impersonal.

Fanho walked over to a large boulder that with a blink of the eye, he was instantly on top. However it wasn't due to any teleportation, although to the untrained eye it would appear that way. On top of the boulder Fanho would take in the sights before turning around facing Kiyori plopping down across the boulder stretched out as if a French girl. "Go ahead and show me some of your techniques. This will let me get an idea of what your skill set is, and what jutsu you're capable of." Fanho wanted to get an idea of how much Kiyori had figured out on her own, and in general her ninjutsu skill set. He imagined she was still very raw with it, and unable to perform higher level techniques. Also not having a history with the element or scrolls to look at wouldn't help her learn the element. Without a basis or easy resources for learning it, it only made it harder to learn.

[TyDie]

The jarring sensation of the sudden teleportation was something Kiyori was quite familiar with at this point, given Hito's love of all things Jikukan. However, it still gave her a slightly upset tummy for a few seconds, and left her slightly winded. When she regained her composure, she found that Fanho was already on top of a large boulder... Although she had not seen him move at all. Even her incredible eyes couldn't keep up with his movements... More Jikukan? No, it couldn't be. She knew from Hito that after a teleportation, there's a short period of time where a Jikukan user can't teleport again. So then... that must've been natural speed. "Goodness you're fast... And no, Hito-sama isn't some old man to be replaced. He's easily the strongest shinobi in our village and will likely remain so for many years."

Kiyori normally wouldn't tolerate such blatant disrespect of her Kazekage, but not only was Fanho teaching her Hiton, she was also still here representing the village. It was not in her to create a potential for confrontation. Moving past that little misstep, Kiyori was asked to demonstrate what little she knew of the ways of Hiton already. "Well, of course I've played around with it some... But I wouldn't say i'm very good at it yet. Here goes nothing..." Kiyori closed her eyes a moment and focused inward, allowing the light within her to pulse through her body, igniting her tattoos with bright golden light.

First, she would perform a small series of seals before raising her arm to the sky, and from her hand would fire a single orb of Hiton chakra. This orb rose high into the sky and simply hung in place, and was visible even among the light of the high noon sun; A great beacon for allies to rally to. Second, she would begin to glow with golden chakra as she gathered light within herself, and with a small grunt of effort this chakra was released in the form of a blinding flash of light that, were it not for Fanho's own Hiton experience, would blind him quite effectively. And lastly, with a much longer string of seals, Kiyori would raise her hands to the sky, forming hundreds of tiny balls of light that looked like stars at first glance, twinkling in the blue sky. With a simple gesture of her hand, these specks would fly unerringly towards a nearby rock, bombarding it with fiery force and creating a blinding flash as they did so. Kiyori herself had to avert her eyes for fear of damaging them, a clear sign that she had no manner of protecting her eyes from the light.

a few small breaths to reassert herself was all she needed after the display; no true fatigue was showing, as her control was incredibly fine tuned by this point. "There, I think that's a few decent displays of what I figured out. Now, what can you teach me to better use this power for the good of all of us?"

JutsuShow

Hiton • Distress Signal
D-Rank Ninjutsu
Kiyori will perform a series of hand seals before pointing her palm to the sky and firing off a small orb of Hiton chakra. This chakra will rise 100 meters into the sky and hover in place for 3 posts. It bears no burning damage nor the blinding passive of Hiton, but in ideal circumstances it can be seen clearly 2 miles away, making it great for signalling allies of her location.

Hiton • Solar Flare
C-Rank Ninjutsu
Kiyori will begin by channeling chakra throughout her body, creating a gold hue of chakra around her. She then releases this built up chakra in the form of a flash of light that causes momentary blindness to anyone looking at her. This does not cause any form of burn however, and is meant solely to distract or debillitate an enemy by robbing them of their sight.

Hiton • Starlight
B-Rank Ninjutsu
Kiyori will perform a series of hand seals before raising her hands to the sky to create hundreds of little orbs of light. These orbs will then hover in the air until activated via the Kai technique, at which point they will rush towards a 20 meter diameter location within 50 meters of their initial creation point. They do so with 20 speed and 20 strength, bombarding the area with scorching, blinding light. They last for 3 posts, or until used.

[Director]

The young Jounin gave a chuckle as Kiyori defend their Kazekage. It was to be expected however that she would, and he didn't fault her for snapping a bit. ""Understandably he is indeed strong. But what fun is there in the Kage world if there isn't a little competition between all us aspiring Kage is there?" He gave a warm, friendly grin towards Kiyori as to really rail the point home that it was just in fun jest. After all, you can't be your best without others pushing you to better yourself. As he laid stretched out on the rock he watched as the hiton chakra orb was fired off reaching quite the height, but due to its mere non-offensive nature it lacked the strength to make up in range. The next was the same as Fanho raised his hand to prevent being blinded. His own blinders protected him from his own jutsu, but unfortunately not from others blinding techniques. Not to mention he'd gotten used to not having his doujutsu anymore attached to his eye socket.

Luckily for the next attack it's range was sufficiently away as to not blind Fanho, however it was clear due to Kiyori's newness with the release she was still suffering the unease of not being used to bright violent light. As she finished her last rain of starlight Fanho stood up as he dusted off his pants from laying on the boulder. "Alright is that all you've learned so far?" He slid off the boulder balancing on his feet as he walked over towards Kiyori getting fairly close as he pointed to his eyes, a shimmering of hiton chakra sleeved over them. "This is what you need. Its a sleeve that you channel right over your eyes that prevents you from being blinded from your own techniques. Granted it won't protect you from burns or other people's stuff, but its fairly helpful to not give your opponent an edge due to using your own jutsu."

Fanho performed handseals at an exception rate almost an instant as a box of hiton displayed before them a few meters out as he also toned down the brightness to not blind Kiyori. "Hiton is also an exceptional defense offense. They can't hit what they can't see, and they can't figure out what's burning them if they blind themselves trying to find it. In its raw state, you hold perhaps one of the most volatile elements known to man."

Fanho channeled chakra to his hand as a rasengan began to form swirling with grey light as the cool air created steam pouring off the ball. Toning down the light once more as to not blind his new student. "Even though I just said its an exceptional defense, it is also one of the best offensive elements because its so volatile." With the mention of volatility the Rasengan began to grow as Fanho held the large swirling ball of Hiton chakra above his head. It eventually grew to be 100.5 meters large as the young Jounin slung the ball across the canyon into the air before it compounded and exploded. Showering the area with little twinkling lights.

"Now is there anything specifically you want to do with it? I'm sure you've got some ideas wrapped up in that record keeping brain of yours."

Jutsu UsedShow

Hiton • Blinders++

[TyDie]

Kiyori merely puffed her face out in frustration as Fanho made clear his jab at her and her love of the Kazekage. She was never the competitive sort, not the type to show off and brag about her newfound powers or that cool new jutsu idea she was coming up with. No, she wanted to be Kazekage, but it was not as a show of strength or proving she was the best Shinobi in the village. No, she did it for the sole purpose of serving her people to the best of her ability, and guiding them to a future that will bring them nothing but joy and peace. "I suppose you're right about one thing; Competition pushes one to be better. Just remember that being better isn't always about being the strongest."

Kiyori gave the man a small wink as she ended her sentence, making sure he knew that she wasn't trying to pick a fight either... She just wanted to make sure he wasn't too single minded in his methods. Might doesn't mean right, after all. He seemed a bit bored by her display, but for one such as him who had mastered the art of Hiton ages ago her skills were probably lackluster. That's what this was all about however; her getting better with this power, for both their villages. She listened intently as Fanho demonstrated Hiton in his own way, showing off the screen over his eyes first and foremost. "Oh thank the Light! I was hoping you had developed something like that! I always wondered 'How in the world do they use this to any effect if they can't see what they're hitting!'" Kiyori laughed aloud, kneeling forward about and letting out a sigh of relief; She would absolutely need to learn this jutsu, that was priority number 1.

Without further ado, she was already hard at work channeling chakra into her eyes, glowing a golden yellow as she attempted to create a screen over them that was not so thick that she couldn't see, but thick enough to be of use to her. It was not as easy as it sounded of course, but then again it never was with Ninjutsu. Even the basic stuff required some level of deep thought, some kind of practice before the desired effect could be gained. Very few every succeeded their first attempts. As she continued to focus on this technique, she watched with inspired awe as Fanho continued to demonstrate the power of his light techniques. The screen he created, while interesting, was not too impressive for her. After all, barriers were a common tool in any shinobi's kit, although the use of a barrier that blinds any who see it was something to be admired for certain.

But then he showed her that swirling orb of intense chakra, a technique with such violent power that she could feel the chakra radiate from it without even being a sensor ninja. Even while working to perfect this eye screen jutsu Fanho had showed her, the technique before her was incredibly bright... and he was likely toning it down, so this was likely not even close to it's true potential. "Such power... It's incredible! I'm capable of some fantastic feats with our own Sand style, I can even control sand at will without hand seals, but that... That orb bears unimaginable power." Her thoughts were confirmed as the young shinobi used more chakra, grew the orb to unimaginable size, then tossed it towards the canyon before it erupted with great blinding light.

Kiyori shielded her eyes from the initial explosion, for fear of damaging her wondrous eyes. But as the light cleared, she saw the soft twinkling left in the orb's wake and smiled a great big smile. "Wow... So when do I learn that one?" She laughed as punctuation to her sentence, clearly knowing she wasn't ready for such a technique just yet. But Fanho's question about what she had in mind for the style was a good one... "Well, I make it no secret that I'm an avid practitioner of Taijutsu as well. In fact, as a genin, it was practically all I knew. We Henrin take to the art of hand to hand quite fondly, so I've always tried to remain true to that as I moved into other styles and arts. With that in mind... I had thought that, if I coated my body with Hiton chakra just right, I could burn anyone I touched, and blind anyone that looked at me. As you said, you can't hit what you can't see... And it's also really hard to block a strike you can't see coming!"

It was still a very rough idea, and one she wasn't quite ready to show off, but she imagined herself covered head to toe in golden light... an Avatar of Yuumagure itself. Her tattoos continued to shine brilliantly as she focued chakra into her eyes, getting the measurements just right to ensure optimal vision with proper protection from light. As a test, she produced a small orb of Hiton in her hands, nothing special or powerful, but bright enough that it should've hurt her eyes... But it didn't. Fanho would likely have to squint at it, but Kiyori gazed directly at the orb with her eyes wide open, with no ill effects. "There... that one wasn't so hard to figure out. But my goodness is it useful!"

907/500 for C rank "Blinders" Jutsu

[Director]

Fanho pulled a large grin out as he turned around to Kiyori after launching his volatile rasengan into the canyon for safe disposal. "I dunno if you'll be saying that when I become the strongest Kage, but we'll see." A giggle escaped his grin as he wrapped up his statement in a childish joking tone. The jabs we're poking at something within Kiyori. In the back of his mind he wondered if he could push her far enough to snap and throw something at him, as from the meeting with the Hokage she wasn't afraid of trying to dish out the hurt for jokes. However despite his short tempered friend he'd give a nod at her remarks about the hiton screen over the eyes. It was quite the necessary utility for using the element at all considering how dangerous it was in usage.

He gave a laugh as Kiyori mentioned learning the rasengan technique. While it wasn't terribly difficult, it required immense control and stamina. That he wasn't sure if Kiyori had the ability to utilize. However in due time she'd more than likely be able to after training and honing her skills with hiton. "That one will be for a rainy day, and if I told you the secret it wouldn't be a secret would it?" The Jounin winked at Kiyori has a grin grew across his face. "In due time, I think you'll find your own style and line of jutsu you'd like to use." Which she delightfully delved into what type she wanted to use, Fanho scratched his chin and nodded along as he thought up multiple styles for her to use. In-fact Fanho had his own he used as well. Fanho's hand began glowing bright with hiton, he neglected to turn it down because Kiyori had now acclimated with her own 'Binders' technique.

"You might like this little trick. Low rank, but extremely useful." With immense speed Fanho darted around Kiyori as he quickly disarmed her slicing through her pouches with accuracy as to not touch her clothes or herself. It'd appear as if it happened in mere seconds with Fanho spinning Kiyori's pouches and equipment around his finger dancing it around in-front of her face before tossing it in the air towards her into her arms. "If I told you I was gonna do it, you wouldn't get to respect the full utility and effect of the technique. I'll buy you new equipment pouches so don't worry about the burn marks."

Jutsu UsedShow

[TyDie]

Kiyori shook her head and rolled her eyes at Fanho's statement, being the 'strongest kage in the world'... This game of being the best was so silly to her, but at the end of the day she could play along with it. "I don't knoooow... You have some pretty stiff competition in Takeo. Last time I sparred with him I barely scratched him with my toughest technique. Granted, we've both grown a lot since then, but still! He's not anyone to shake a stick at. And our own Kage, Hito-sama... I don't know of anyone capable of defeating him in a true fight. I don't think i've ever even landed a scratch on him..." Kiyori took a moment to quickly glance at her memories of any spars she had had with Hito, running through them all play by play...

"Nope! Not even a scratch, I just checked." She giggled and smirked as Fanho continued to explain the power of hiton, commenting on the usefulness of the blinders jutsu she had juts learned and making a comment about how the secrets had to stay secrets or they wouldn't be secrets... or something. "Woah, hold on there buddy. The whole point was to teach me the secrets of Hiton so I could actually use it with some skill. Don't you hold out on me!" Kiyori made a gesture at Fanho, waggling her fingers as she 'scolded' him. But moving on from that, he continued to show off a few more jutsu...

And in the blink of an eye, his glowing hand had disarmed her of her ninja pouch. Not only that, but she hadn't seen that movement at all. She had to blink a few times to make sure that had just happened. "Wow... that speed is incredible. Not sure I could hope to compare right now..." The jutsu she had just witnessed seemed incredibly valuable, but she shook her head in disagreement. "A very useful jutsu to be sure, but not one that i'll be needing I don't think. You see, I also utilize Sand style, and I could see myself doing that with Sunakinesis... I can control sand without the need for hand seals. But I need something somewhere between that ball of destruction and that glowing hand. Any ideas?"

If she could just develop one more technique and hear a little more about how this element functioned, she would be comfortable enough to progress with the element herself. Fanho's teachings would be the crux of everything she did with this element, this blessing bestowed upon her.

Fanho scratched his chin as he pondered a jutsu that coated yourself in light providing an offensive defense. Hmm, whatever a jutsu like that was Fanho simply drew a blank. He figured he'd show her one of his own titular ones, and maybe she'd be able to better describe what she was after. Fanho took a stroll out onto the plateau. A safe distance away, after all he'd literally blind Kiyori if he was any closer. "I think you should wait over there. Even with the blinders, you're not impervious to other's jutsu or tags blinding you. Just your own. Also with this next jutsu I don't think you'll be able to block it unless you're far away." Fanho fueled chakra around his body as light began to wrap around forming a haori that grew down just gracing above his heels, and stretching down his arms. With grace, the dark grey glowed violently as the earth around and underneath's Fanho's foot let out steam from the sheer heat coming off as it scorched the earth leaving a permanent imprint wherever he walked.

"Throw your strongest jutsu at me. I'll show you how strong it really is. Don't back down either. If you throw something weak at me, I'll think letting you use Hiton was a mistake." The young Jounin's face twisted into a grin as he held his arms out waiting to be struck. "This is the strength of Hiton." The air around Fanho swirled as the strength of the jutsu was stronger than that of the large rasengan. It was his impenetrable offensive armor cloak that allowed him to smash his opponents without enduring a scratch. Not only that, but any person dare to go toe-to-toe would feel the brunt of his burning passion. This was exactly as Kiyori had asked for, something to blind, but with a twist to take it up a notch.

Jutsu UsedShow

Hiton • The Hokage's Cloak
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Pre-Requisite: 40 Ninjutsu, 35 Control
After channeling chakra Fanho will mold Hiton chakra into a solid form around his body causing him to appear blindingly grey with a haori forming on his body with the words 火 meaning Hokage inscribed on the back. The haori also features the Awai clan symbol on the back above the wording, with black lines extending from the shoulders of the haori to the ends of the sleeves. With two stripes on the front extending to the bottom from each shoulder. This chakra cloak forms at 30 speed with a strength of 50. While in this jutsu Fanho can preform other jutsus, and the cloak only lasts for 10 posts before dissipating.

Kiyori raised an eyebrow as Fanho suggested that she stay put while he moved incredibly far away, so much so that she could barely make out details of his person anymore. However she obeyed the man's instruction, as she had already learned not to doubt his capabilities after seeing the destructive potential of his ninjutsu techniques. "If you say so... But I hope whatever you have planned isn't going to cause my eyes any permanent damage. We Henrin hold our eyes sacred you know." She gave the boy a small wink as he moved away from her, then sat patiently while he prepared whatever jutsu he was about to do.

And once the technique was initiated, she could already tell that the shear magnitude of the jutsu's power was beyond anything she herself was capable of. The cloak of Hiton wrapped around Fanho as if it were a second skin, creating what she assumed to be not only a rigid defense, but an overwhelming offense; exactly the kind of technique she wanted to make. She put a hand over her eyes, squinting as she glanced at Fanho from underneath her hand. "Such power... it's incredible! That, that's what i want to do! But... maybe not a Haori... That kind of clothing isn't really my style, you know?" Kiyori took a moment to gesture at her own revealing attire, which of course was solely for freedom of movement, though she definitely had taken a liking to the stares she got from those who admired her 'muscular structure'.

Now he wanted her to throw something at him, but what? More Hiton? She was pretty sure no matter what she tossed at him, it wasn't going to get through that cloak of his... But she did have an idea. It was a rough idea, one based on a Katon technique that was well known to those in the upper echelon of ninjutsu users, but she could put her own spin on it and make it hers... mostly by making it out of solid light and not fire. Taking in a deep breath, Kiyori began funneling chakra into her hands, her tattoos glowing golden with her light as she held a single hand up above her head. She gathered all of this chakra into her hand, letting out a deep breath as she molded it through shear control into the form of a javelin or spear of shimmering light. Once it was fully formed, she would heave back before tossing it with all of her might towards Fanho, watching carefully as the spear flew through the air towards Fanho.

If and when it impacted his cloak, Fanho would find himself suddenly engulfed by a blinding pillar of golden light, the explosive force of the spear's detonation blazing forth into this pillar which would linger for a few moments before fading away, dissipating into nothing. With a few deep breaths, Kiyori formed a fist and cranked it back, a sign that typically meant "How was that?" "So... It's not as strong as yours, but it's stronger than any other jutsu I've made with Hiton so far. Do I pass the test?"

JutsuShow

Hiton • Spear of Sunlight
A-Rank Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: 30 Ninjutsu
Based loosely on the Katon technique Izanagi's Spear, Kiyori will begin by channeling chakra throughout her body before holding her hand up and concentrating the molded chakra into her hand. This chakra will then take the form of a golden spear of solid light, and can be thrown like a normal throwing weapon. Upon impact or when Kiyori activates the spear via Kai, the spear will unravel and explode with 30 strength, erupting into a 15 meter diameter, 20 meter high pillar of blinding, burning light. This pillar will remain for a few moments before it dissipates.

"You know I meant like the strongest thing out of your arsenal right? Not necessarily Hiton, but you're at least getting better. Learn to contain it, wrap yourself in its warmth, and strengthen it to be unbreakable." As the explosion cleared the air, Fanho's hiton cloak flickered off without even a scratch bearing on it. "If you practice that, then you'll be able to do what you want." The young Awai gave a nod as he gave the final approval for Kiyori, she had made two jutsu in the span of their time out here, and it sufficed enough for Fanho to pass on her training to be self sustaining. He didn't feel he was needed anymore, after all she had her blinders jutsu, and she had seen the scope of a technique that she was aiming for. Now all that was needed was to practice.

"You seem to understand the basics, although a lot is just experimentation. Try out a few different styles, and don't be so caught up in what I do. Just remember that its a volatile element, and its offense is great even when used defensively. So its an element to push forward, not to be knocked down." Fanho also poked at her muscles as he stuck his hand in his pockets. "Also train your noodle arms, that spear was so slow I would've only needed half my speed to dodge it. If you're gonna focus strength, then throw your jutsu. If you're going to be speedy, then focus some of that strength in your jutsu's thrust." As the Jounin reached out his hand once more, he slung a shuriken back in the village as he twirled the other in-between his fingers. He mouthed a count down as he awaited Kiyori to take his hand before teleporting them back once more to where they we're. The sensory core would've been alerted had it not been noted as Fanho's chakra.

"You feel like you got a lot out of this?"

[TyDie]

Kiyori crossed her arms and huffed at the young Awai, who hadn't really made his instructions clear when he asked her to attack her. "Pshh, you should've said so... My Sunaton far outweighs my Hiton. But you gotta admit, that was a pretty cool jutsu!" She grinned big and wide and swung her hips slightly in punctuation. Kiyori took in the man's words and nodded in understanding, realizing that she would need to refine her new jutsu and pay close attention to how she created jutsu in the future, not only with Hiton but with everything. It was clear to her at this point that her ninjutsu prowess would outweigh her physical abilities before long... She should grow into the role that she had inadvertently put herself into.

The man tossed his kunai again, and a moment later the two were once more where they used to be; in front of Fanho's house. After reorienting herself, her eyes spinning around slightly while she did so, she had only one thing to ask. "Yeah, I think I got plenty out of it... But I have one question. How did you know that Kunai of yours wasn't going to hit some random passerby in the street?" There was genuine concern in her voice, but she ended up shrugging it off. After all, he didn't hit anyone, so no harm no foul... this time. She gave a bow to Fanho, a form of saying farewell. "Thank you again Fanho. With your blessing, i'll be certain to use this light for all of us; Konoha and Suna."

If there was nothing left to be said, Kiyori would turn and leave Fanho to his devices... She had business with Aina, and she still wanted to touch space with those in Mamorinuku...
