A casualty among the rocks!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

ENTER!

[/size]

Ah- Tsuchi no Kuni. Land of rocks, pebbles, boulders and all things inbetween them. For as far as she could see what was infront of her was simply.. mostly rocks, or formations that had been made by them, may it be large or small. It did boggle her mind slightly thinking that a hidden village lay within the land somewhere but then again, each hidden village was hidden for a purpouse, and, as with Konohagakure apparently being in the middle of a forest, Iwagakure no doubt used the environment around them to build and shape the village that many people now call home. Home, to her, was long gone and sometimes she wished that every other village had been destroyed along with it but- The rest of her managed to compose her thoughts so that she could think wisely.

Her feet clicking against the rock-bearing floor, she would be careful to avoid any potential cracks in the large giant pile of rocks that she was currently scaling. One mistake and her leg could easily be trapped within the maze that had collected beneath her but thankfully enough for herself, she was both an agile and a tactile woman, and could easily navigate her way around without dealing any harm to herself- Of course, only when she was in the clearest of moods as she was at the moment. When enraged, although her temper rose to that of a hell demon, she paid for it in common sense- Her mind would become hazy, and she would be quite.. rash in her decisions.

But otherwise, she was fine, although still a bitch. Her kindness was only limited to children, patients and certain people, in other cases it never saw the light of day, as was in this situation, where to pass the time, she was kicking a few of the rocks that she’d pass, watching as they would skid off in to the distance, only to be kicked again once she would catch up with them. To be honest, the landscape was pretty boring after a while.. It was just rocks, rocks, rocks, the odd tree, rocks rocks.. And so on. There was no wonder that the village of Iwa was hidden within the stone, no doubt the people out to pursue it would either get lost, or would get too bored of the same area.

Back in Kusa the land had differed in each area- Jungles grew thick and wild in some, but in others there were very controlled open fields. It was such places that she missed- Hi no Kuni just didn’t cut it as well as Kusa did but then again that might have just been her nationalist personality speaking. But truly- Iwa was just boring as far as she could tell. Surely within the village itself life would be more interesting but as far as she could tell, currently scaling a mound of rocks, that there weren’t may pastimes to be taken in to consideration where she was at the moment- Not many trees that she could take the leaves and childishly make figures from, no streams that she could look for bugs and animals in- How very mind-numbing.

But, just as when the silence became unbearable…!
”AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH! Someone HELP! PLEASE!”

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It was slightly cruel to say, but, she hoped that there was something interesting going on- The scream had been pretty loud, not exactly a scream of joy either, it embodied pain and no doubt panic as well- Just what had happened? At looking around the area she figured that perhaps someone had tripped and fallen in to perhaps a small cave formation or a large hole in the ground- Yes, that would make the most sense, there were a few shake holes around the place where the lime in the ground had dissolved after years and years of rainfall, perhaps that was where the scream had come from? Nonetheless, she would go out to seek whomever it was- Surely they were in trouble, and she was more then welcome to help, as long as it brightened up her day with a bit of excitement, of course. And maybe she could get something out of it!

So- Her ears having picked up the sound when it was emitted, her head already pointing in the direction that she figured that it had come from, she would nod her head to herself, having decided on a plan of action, as she would then move off to wherever the voice had come from, taking care not to get trapped between the large rocks herself or doing something that would potentially hurt herself therefore rendering herself unable to help the person she was currently out to try and find- It was things like this that medics like her had to take in to consideration- Although she loved to get in fights, she could remember back from her days in Kusagakure, when in a team, it was her duty to heal her team and leave the beating up to other people.

..Maybe that’s why she turned out so violent.
But, nonetheless- She couldn’t afford to think about such things at the moment, she had a job to do!

”I DO APOLOGIZE FOR MAKING YOU SHOUT- WHERE ARE YOU?”

She’d shout loudly- No doubt the person in question would have quite good hearing as he had already picked up the fact that someone was nearby, perhaps it was the small collectivization of pebbles which had fallen as she scaled the small mountain of rocks? Or was he just shouting for the sake of finding someone, anyone that could come and help him? It didn’t matter exactly if he could hear someone or not at the moment because it would be sure to him now that someone was there, and that person was on the way to helping him to safety, wherever he was. Or, Blanche was hoping that he got the message through of course due to the fact that she had people die on her in the past due to her being unable to get there in time so, she was hoping that this person would be at least pretty alive by the time she got to them.

”I’m.. I’M OVER HERE—Please!-”

The call could now definitely be a male- Or at least a female with an incredibly deep voice. Her head, her ears having picked up the strained shout, would now point towards the direction, as her feet would move nimbly across the rocks towards where it had come from- She wouldn’t be far from him now. But despite the fact that she was sure that she could take care of the person, it seemed a bit shifty- She seemed to be going uphill from now but she could see a large area of flat from where she could see- With no person there- What was there to trip over? Perhaps what she had suspected had happened wasn’t true.. Or maybe there was something more sinister at work. Nonetheless, and now being on her guard just in case it was some kind of trick meant to bring those kind enough to want to help to their death, she would move quickly yet carefully, her eyes scanning the area around her as she did so.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

The scent of blood seemed thick in the air as she neared the area which she assumed the man was at- This wasn’t good, at all. Walking across the flat there would soon be an area of shake holes around her, deep holes having been naturally formed in the ground- He was in one of these, for sure. Her tall, blonde figure would walk around the area, her head gazing in to the various holes in the earth, waiting to see some kind of mangled corpse- And a few moment later, a mangled corpse she would find as her blue eyes would gaze upon a shake hole, its sides having been stained with crimson blood. Her eyes trailing over this blood, she would soon come to see the man, his figure propped up against the side of the shake hole, he being unable no doubt to bring himself out of it.

Just what had happened?
Carefully making her way down the hole, making sure not to trip and fall head first in to the guy, she would then descend in to the middle, and would rush over to his side, looking him in the eyes as she would then prepare herself to speak- Upon first examination of him via simply looking, she would notice that certain parts of his clothes were ripped and stained with blood- She could tell that the guy hadn’t been here for long, the expression of panic and pain were still fresh on his face, and the blood had not yet dried from his clothing, as she could tell from looking at the red patches on his shirt- The wounds he had weren’t exactly that bad from what she could tell, but it would still require some healing- She could perhaps help him back to a safer place, too, once she was done- But, although she was strong, it would have helped if she had another person to aid her.

”Don’t worry, Sir-
I’m a medic.”

She’d tell him, following the basic steps that she had learned- It was important to make the patient feel safe- Being on top of a mountain within some rocky maze it wasn’t all that easy as far as the environment went, but she did her best to try and make him feel more at ease. Seeing another person and that person willing to help heal him no doubt would help a great deal. He would nod his head, he being somewhat paralyzed with fear so that he was partially unable to speak- No matter, she would just go on with the healing that she would need to do. She was fine of course with blood- Some of the medics she had known weren’t that happy about seeing it but she was absolutely fine, even if she had blood all over her she wouldn’t mind all that much. There wasn’t many things that fazed her.

But- Exactly how had he gotten in to this state? She would then remove the gloves upon her arms and place them to the side neatly next to each other, before then cracking her knuckles somewhat, and opening her palms dramatically as a pale green light would then envelop her fingers, she then hovering her hands gently over one of the main wounds that he had on his body, a nasty cut that was in his left bicep- The bone wasn’t visible, but a lot of the skin had torn off- The area around them was rocky so he had probably cut it on that. But, she would leave questioning for later- The importance at the moment was stopping him from continuing to lose blood- as that was one of the most dangerous things in the area at the moment, alongside the sharp rocks that lay around the place.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Her hands continuing to hover over his bicep, she would watch as the wound would suddenly begin to patch itself up as her chakra pierced the very makeup of his arm. It’s these such things that amazed Blanche and pushed her forwards to learning more things in the medical field. As a medic she had incredible potential, even moreso than her potential to be anything else, really. A different side of her showed when she utilized her medical techniques- a softer, yet more elegant side, her anger still being there, but she retained her calmness at those times, thinking of others for once- A patient would certainly not appreciate being in the middle of a shouting battle, and it would perhaps give them more stress than she had meant for them to have.

But, with that wound now cleared up she would move on to the next- A nasty looking one that seemed to be around the area of his ankle- All in all he looked all beat up in general, but the rest of the skin that she could see was slightly bruised and scarred, but nothing too bad- It would seem as if something else had caused the blood that was on the side of the shake hole, which was a bit unresting but- She would continue to heal him nonetheless, her hands moving down to his ankle, the green light now covering the bloody slash mark that was there. He had, a few moments ago, been shaking no doubt with a bit of fear, but now he seemed much more relaxed, perhaps he felt more secure due to the fact that she had been healing him?

”T-thank you.. I-”
”Try not to speak just yet, sir-”

Although she could multitask by healing and speaking at the same time- She was quite proficient at that by now- she didn’t want to cause him further stress right now when she was healing him- She would leave the explaining until later, and it was sure that she would like a pretty in depth one about whathad happened to him. He may have just fallen and lost consciousness or something, but then again the blood- It was a matter that needed to be sorted out, perhaps not because of importance, but because of the fact that she was a pretty curious person and she wanted to find out the events that had lead up to himself being hurt in such a manner. ”I’m almost done- Stay still.” she’d tell him in a low tone, she taking her medical work quite seriously- It was her job, to say the very least, so she could at least excel at it to make herself proud.

Her hands then moving from their place hovering above the body of the man, she would then look him over a few times, her hands lowering once more with the same pale green aura around them, as she would heal up the minor cuts and bruises that he had upon his body from whatever reason he had acquired them. The man himself- He was pretty big- Not as in muscle bound big but, big as in pretty stocky- Although she was strong, there was no way she could possibly lift him out of the shake hole alone. Sighing to herself, he looking at her with quite a confused expression, she would then shake her head, and look at him for a few moments. ”How long have you been here?- How did you get here? I’d like to know, as a token of thanks for healing you up.” Unlike the tone that she had taken previously, this one was slightly more malicious but she held no ill intent- She simply wanted to know, but at the best of times to find things out sometimes you had to press people.

”Koiji Matsumoto- He wants me dead! And if it wasn’t for you, I probably would be!..
..He sent a few of his grunts over to my home and they kidnapped me, bruised me up and threw me in here- Of course I put up a fight but-”
And so he would explain his tale, she nodding- It was a simple case of feuding over a woman, which had lead to some bad rivalry between the two, which therefore resulted in him being thrown wounded in a ditch.

But- a more important matter arose now- How was she going to get him out of this shake hole?

Where will you go?

I'm not sure, Takigakure was the only place I knew

I see...then why leave?

Tch...enough!

The eyelids of a powerful being uplifted, casting purple, pitiless orbs off into the cloudless, azure sky with great annoyance. He released a stress filled sigh from the core of his being, giving hint that some burden or another was weighing heavily upon his spirit and soul, but what could such a thing have been? None knew, not even Yuuza himself knew, at least not clear enough to deduce anything. His occuli shifted once more, this time keenly watching the road ahead. Earth, nothing but a goddamn sea of earth, thats all Tsuchi no kuni was and most likely will be, slabs of rock, expanses of earth, cobblestone roads, and fractures of earth.

The struggles that Yuuza faced to get here were perilous from having been hunted by what little Takigakure forces remained, however, due to his physical existence manifesting itself within Tsuchi no kuni, it was obvious outcome of said hunters were as clear as day. But, truth be told those were mere 'hunters', they were a combination of friends and teachers, all of wish Yuuza murdered by throwing mercy and pity to his wayside.

Iwagakure was all too dry, very much unlike Takigakure, a country where streams of water never ceased to exist. They ran and coursed on effortlessly and incessantly, Yuuza couldn't even count the myriad numbers of hours he's spent meditating next to rivers and streams as the waters whispered to him. It was a sati-

”AAAAAAAAAAAAARGHH! Someone HELP! PLEASE!”

A voice, one that beseems a male, ripped through the air, unleashing a desperate cry for help, one that Yuuza hesitated to answer. More often than not Yuuza refuses to answer cries for help simply because in this dark age not many can truly be trusted, however, he considered the dark taint that began to take hold of his heart and thought it wouldn't hurt to shed some light upon it. With that he decided to answer the mans call and in seconds his legs carried him into the direction of the voicing. His footfalls were soundless, unable to be tracked by mere mortal ears as he slowly came upon a small hole in which the voice was emitted.

A man and woman?

A moment of inquiry shot into his mind as his shadow predominated over both the woman and the man who seemed to have suffered some degree of damage. Instantly he took notice to medical arts in which had been deployed, interesting.

"Is everything ok?"

His mouth and nose twitch through his face mask as he released his words with a heavy, cold tone.

[Apple]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

His story had been quite an interesting one, however- Whoever was after him surely wasn’t too interested in keeping him alive, hence the fact that he had dumped him in the hole on top of a mountain, and it simply proved to Blanche that even after War- Such an event that shook the lives of every person in the world, people were still willing to kill others. Hadn’t they learned nothing of the villages that had been destroyed in the process of it? Hadn’t they seen enough bodies and blood for the time being? Blanche was a cold woman, that was for sure. But taking lives wasn’t her business- Of course, she would threaten many and she wouldn’t hesitate to beat someone to a pulp if she wanted to but killing- It just wasn’t her style. Her job was to restore life, assuring that the person she was healing was on her side or at least wasn’t intent on killing Blanche herself.

"Is everything ok?"

She had heard the slight moving of rocks as something seemed to walk near the edge of the hole they were in, the shadow of the figure falling down and descending upon the two of them. Her blue eyes would look up at whoever it was, to see a masked individual- Interesting. It would but be a few moments before Blanche, in her usual slightly cocky yet nonetheless cold tone, would speak to him. ”I’d appreciate any help in getting this man to the bottom of the mountain- I’ll reward you.” she’d tell him- She wasn’t too fond of giving people rewards for things- They should be bossed around by her anyhow- But at the moment, chances were not many other people were going to appear at the top of a mountain, so he was the only chance she currently had of getting him down safely. Fixing bones wasn’t something that she yet had a grasp of, so it would be hard if his legs were broken- One definitely was from the way that it was twisted but the other seemed fine.

..But nonetheless he obviously was in no state to walk. A minute would pass, as Blanche’s stubbornness would show through quite clearly. ”-Are you going to help or what?” But- She had such a way with men, even ones of his age, she assuming he was younger than him by the part his face that she could see- He looked quite young, and, the most striking thing on him perhaps was his headband, which, surprisingly bore a cross through it- Takigakure.. she would think, her eyes gazing upon him for a few moments before she would move back to the man who by now had decided to stay silent as the two shinobi would speak, just in case he was to pull a bad move and insult the both of them- They were his only help at the moment, too, so he had to simply comply with whatever they had to say.

Her crystal blue eyes looking up at the masked boy, she would rise, her statuesque figure coming to bloom as her gently curled hair would too show itself from behind her, as she would very gently rise the man from his spot, he wincing in pain at placing pressure on his legs- They would get him down quite easily, hopefully. But- Was this guy going to help her or not? With angelic features, the medic would look at him once more, waiting.

[/blockquote]

[Messatsu!]

Yuuza's was unwillingly presented as an umbrageous figure as the suns golden brilliance spilled upon Yuuza and the expansive country that was Tsuchi no Kuni. He merely remained, poised as the very statuesque representation of calm, placing himself under a moment of self imposed silence. It seemed as though his mind briefly plunged itself into a moment of halted time as his eyes slowly hid themselves behind closed lids as a mindless passing of shimmering winds danced with his loose bangs. First glance would have suggested a arrogant ignoring of the woman, however, such was not the case, Yuuza was simply drawn in thought, excogitating upon how this man resembled his closest friend.

The passing moments moments seemed to make up an eternity of silence, and finally, his lids drew themselves upwards, piercing through the spiritual makeup of both the woman and the man before him. With no response forewarning his aid he leapt down into the earthen concavity, juxtaposing himself next to the man (opposite of Blanche). He aided the woman in helping the man to his feet, and slowly but surely they began to carry this man out of this absurdly deep hole.

I'm surprised...

At what?

You-for helping someone, even after all the things that went down in Takigakure.

...

What happened to your little pro-

Enough!!

Escaping from the prison of his mind he release yet another sigh, yet this one was heavier, bearing a sense of sorrow. His pores opened, releasing sweat drops of anxiety as he spoke once more, stabling his mind in the process.

"What are you two doing down om a place like this. Seems odd."

[Apple]

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Another few moments would pass as she would simply stay there looking up at him, wondering what exactly he was going to say, or do. Minutes would pass, and luckily for the man he had no fatal wounds left that he could possibly die from, so his life wouldn’t be dwindling away with every moment that the man above spent thinking, his eyes now closed. She would inwardly sigh, still looking up as did the man himself- She hated being in this position, asking others for help but it was needed in this to try and get the man down from the mountain they were on- He wouldn’t be able to get down otherwise, he was simply too heavy. Hoping that he would agree to her terms- She would probably teach him an interesting technique or something, seeing as she wasn’t really willing to pay for his services that he would give- Assuring he would, of course.

"What are you two doing down on a place like this. Seems odd."

At this, she would look towards the man- He himself had explained, so, she would take it upon herself to explain the whereabouts of the both of them. ”I’m simply wandering- He however got in a spot of trouble that landed himself in a bloody ditch.” she’d tell him- She had in fact stumbled upon the man by chance and thankfully enough for him, she had healed him before the blood loss from his wounds had gotten out of control. As for now, he was safe, until he got off and back towards his home, although surely he’d land in another spot of bother later on it time- It was inevitable, really. Maybe he could pay to get himself some bodyguards, that would surely prevent him from getting kidnapped and attacked next time.

The two, the masked individual now having taken hold of the other side of the man as he would then aid her in taking him out of the shake hole that they were currently in, the man having been too fragile a few minutes ago to do so whilst he was still covered in wounds, just in case it would cause him more pain- His legs were the only thing that seemed to hurt him now, he wincing in slight pain each time pressure would be placed on the either of them- It was just as well as he had two people helping him now- Perhaps they would get a reward for it themselves- Or maybe not. Despite this, she was glad to have spent the time doing something interesting instead of just staring at rocks all day. She had spent her day doing that yesterday. It wasn’t fun.

”And what of you?
Have you any special reason to be on this mountain?”
She would ask him, wondering exactly why he had been there- Surely enough he was probably just wandering as she was, maybe climbing mountains was his sort of thing? It wasn’t hers, but she would do anything in order to escape the cruelty of boredom.

She had in fact noticed his tone- It didn’t seem as if he had been too fond of aiding her in the first place but then again, his sigh perhaps strengthened that idea. But it didn’t matter all that much- She was helping them both now and she couldn’t complain further. Shaking her head somewhat, her long blonde hair curling somewhat more in the sun, her golden shade mimicking that of the ball of light in the sky, she would look at the landscape, and then back at the mysterious shinobi himself as the two would then slowly begin to scale down the mountainous formation that had been created over years and years of piling rocks and of course other ways that mountains could be created, may it be through modern means or old, ancient glaciers moving or whatnot- She hadn’t studied much about this, but one thing was for sure. Tsuchi had hell of a lot of rock. And not really the nice kind either. ”Your headband- You were from Takigakure then?” she would ask in a tone that was inquisitive but not in a negative way- Almost as if it interested her- And it did. It did make the blonde wonder exactly why people left villages.
Maybe he would explain?

[/blockquote]

[Messatsu!]

”I’m simply wandering- He however got in a spot of trouble that landed himself in a bloody ditch.”

His sense auditory modality bustled with activity as the blondes words seeped into his ears. Just wondering huh, sounded leery to Yuuza's ears, however, he believed it, for he too was wandering the expansive land of rock but for a different cause. Each soul, each life, born into the flowing chains fate only to impotently intermingle with a great many others. Some souls are destined to cross paths, others are not, but today, fate has brought Yuuza to this woman for a reason, but if this reason would be for the greater good or bad was unclear, and for some time it will continue as such.

With each furthering step the trio traversed down the earthen slope, Yuuza briefly reflected upon the womans skillful usage of the medical arts. Given the description of the scenario at hand the man seemed to have suffered more serious wounds just moments ago, yet, with this womans gentility and sense of care provided this pathetic man with some hope of survival. The man was stricken with enfeeblement as his legs faltered with each step, gravely slowing the two shinobi's pace.

”And what of you?
Have you any special reason to be on this mountain?”

The woman spoke once more, and as Yuuza processed her inquiring for his presence along this area he chose not to wait an overly long time to respond this time around.

"You and I are the same, searching for something under the guise of wandering shinobi."

Yuuza's words bore no falsities, how could they, ninja's or people for that matter simply do not 'wander' around aimlessly without some reason or purpose, something drove the woman as it did Yuuza, but what?

She's asking alot of questions, seems suspicious...

Quiet, no one asked you.

Fine Fine, don't come running to me when you get ambushed!

Purging his mind of vindictive thoughts he shut his eyes once more from mental stress, momentarily granting himself with a mind of clarity. Yuuza subconscious, a being with equal amounts of talents and faults, a force to reckoned. The conversations with his subconscious usually is what drives certain actions and decisions he makes, some wise, some reckless, but such was the mundane nature of the human mind.

”Your headband- You were from Takigakure then?”

A flashing sense of surprise manifested itself upon Yuuza's visage as a faint furrowing of his eyebrows before his occuli shifted to glance over the womans form as he fell into a moment of silence once more. His eyes cast themselves frontally as he looked down with a saddened eye, it pained him to say...

"correct, I couldn't stay within that village any longer for they cannot comprehend the meaning of family."

In that instant, that very instant he spoke, his tone grew heavy, guided by a tongue of deep hatred. It was more than apparent that he harbored a great deal of animosity towards his former home, however, he could show Takigakure no harm, but defending himself from hunters is another story in itself. The trio neared the mountains bottom-land with a cautious pace and as they did the mans eyes seemed to brim with vigor and hope, knowing that he would breathe for another day, maybe two.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Thankfully, the man was much, much easier to move down with the help of this nin- She would need to strengthen up. This meeting, although profited in the way that it made her grin as to how easy she could make people do her whim, had made her disappointed in herself since she couldn’t carry a man down a mountain herself- What kind of battle shinobi was she to be if so? Shaking her head, she would devise a silent plan within her mind to grow stronger- And hopefully, it would be soon. She hadn’t done some training in a while now, so perhaps it would be nice to do so, it would at least give her a sense of worth. The shinobi life now, was everything to her. If she was to stop.. She probably wouldn’t know what to do at all. She had seen too much to stop.

And then he would speak once more- Saying that their reasons for being on the mountain had been the same. Of course, he had been true- She was looking for something deep down but, what? Not even she knew- With no village and she being a stubborn ass, there wasn’t much place to go except for the lands in the major countries, surrounding the hidden villages that were available in the area, until she could return back to her homeland without she having to live within gargantuan piles of rubble, dust and debris. She yearned for the day when she could finally go home, and go back to her house, to sleep. But, it was gone. The village was gone, and the best sleep she got nowadays was from an inn, assuring that the price was quite expensive.

"correct, I couldn't stay within that village any longer for they cannot comprehend the meaning of family."

She would listen as he would explain exactly why he had left his village- It seemed that there had probably been some feuding within the village itself during the war too, which was quite unfortunate, really. It was probably true that the boy had been part of some of the ill-fated events in Takigakure and had been driven to leave because of that. ”I see- Fair enough.” she’d tell him, her words blunt in meaning but by no means was she pissed off, no. She was voicing her opinion- Although she was a die hard Kusagakure shinobi, she did have an open mind towards other villages and why their shinobi left- If she saw a missing Kusa shinobi, however- Disgust would be one of the least that she would feel.

So- After much scaling rocks the two would soon find themselves at the bottom of the mountain- It hadn’t exactly been huge, but had been of quite a size. Sitting the man down very gently, she would then clasp both of her hands together, they now being gloved once more. Looking back at the man, she would then go back to the topic of the reward that she had promised for helping him- Oh how she loathed to do this but- ”-I do apologise. I cannot give you anything of material worth, but, I can reward you with knowledge. Are you able to use water in your arsenal? If so- I have a technique you might be interested in learning.” Of course, it was a long guess. Whether or not he had the abilities to use water was a mystery as of now, but she hoped he could since she didn’t want to have to give him the last of her Ryo. Stretching her left arm somewhat, the beauty would look back at the boy, wondering what exactly his abilities were.

_________________

Slowly the Trio traversed down the earthen slope as thier gait of travel was significantly faltered from the mans wounded legs and body. Though with the aid of two able bodied shinobi, treading down this monolithic slab of earth was made possible. With minutes of travel and several more footfalls the trio finally came to flat land as both shinobi gentle laid the man down, provind him with some moments of rest. Yuuza's purple orbs flickered across Blanche's form as he observed her with hidden interest and taking a liking to her knowledge within the medical arts field. He would need a medic later on, so he deemed it necessary to keep in contact with this woman. Soon the two met gaze once more as she foreshadowed her speech, and with heedful ears Yuuza listened.

”-I do apologise. I cannot give you anything of material worth, but, I can reward you with knowledge. Are you able to use water in your arsenal? If so- I have a technique you might be interested in learning.”

A faint smirk peaked itself at the corners of his mouth as a bolt of interest coursed through Yuuza's very spine. Ironically he was one that obtained knowledge of suiton, in fact, not only did he understand its nature but he was immensly versed within it. He would be insane to pass up an opportunity to expand his knowledge of the water arts.

"Suiton? actually I use suiton quite a bit. But a technique you say? Sure why not, i'd be a fool to turn down when offered such knowledge."

It was just as well that she would then learn that the boy was able to use suiton to his own advantage on the field of battle- and off, of course- as she would look to the side, seeing what would appear to be a large pond created from both rainfall and some small stream that moved down the mountain- The water wasn’t exactly clear so she wasn’t planning to go swimming in it any time soon but, it would do good to allow her to teach the boy whatever technique that she deemed fit for him to learn. Now- Looking to the side at the man who she had helped to carry down the mountain, he would simply look onwards and nod somewhat, he not wanting to force them to get him to complete safety as he didn’t want to be left for dead again by them- Or perhaps not dead, but, left immobile, as his legs were pretty much worthless at the moment.

”The technique that I’ll teach you will be..
One called Rising water cutter.”

She would tell him as her feet would move towards the pond itself, and would prepare herself- It had been quite a while since she had last used this technique but she was willing to teach it to him as long as it got him off her back for now- She wanted to keep walking but, he had helped her, and she respected that. So, the least she could do was teach him a technique that might prove as useful to him later on- This particular one was quite dangerous when used correctly, due to both the speed that it had and the fact that it was a bitch of a technique as far as strength was concerned- It was very sharp, and it could probably cut through trees once used, which was what she was hoping to do, as there was a tree nearby, implanted in the earth yet still sickly looking.

..But it would fare well for the purpose- It was going to be cut down anyway by someone else later on probably for firewood, so why not make its demise earlier? She didn’t mind all that much in this situation of course, because it was a tree. Despite having a slight connection to nature she wasn’t all that much of a tree hugger. ”Let me begin by telling you that this technique is not to be taken lightly- It is one of quite good high speed and strength. You could probably cut through boulders with it if you used it correctly.” she’d tell him, so that he first knew the effect that it had- To show an example she would nod her head, and clasp her hands together, they then forming frantic seals that belonged to the technique, before her right foot would rise.. and .. SLAM to the earth beneath her, sending the birds in the nearby trees flying but- that wasn’t all- Her chakra, it being used to manipulate the water in question would be used in such a way that the water from the pond itself- Not all of it of course, only a good amount- would rise in to the air as if by magic, and would then be sent hurdling in to the tree, it being ravaged by the force of it, and breaking in half, as leaves went everywhere.

This had happened in a mere number of seconds, which truly showed exactly how much potential this technique would hold, especially on the battlefield itself. Perhaps it would be good to cut things when needed to but all in all this technique was meant to hurt, cut, and kill. She hoped he wouldn’t use it for the latter but there was nothing stopping him, unfortunately. Her legs returning to a normal position she would turn back to him, her mouth opening as she would begin to speak;

”First of all- Handseals.”

It was a simple thing to say but slightly confusing to follow. Nonetheless, she would go onwards to show him, her hands clasping together and forming a variety of zodiac seals quite slowly for him to mimic them himself- She didn’t know how fast that he would pick them up but, she did them slowly enough so he could see each one in full to assure that he wasn’t doing it wrong- Or she hoped he wouldn’t be doing it wrong, of course. She was interested in teaching him but she wasn’t too fond of the idea of staying behind a few hours to do so.

[Messatsu!]

Having accepted the womans offer of brief tutelage as a reward from his uncommon choice to help another, his demeanor changed ever so slightly, becoming more heedful and attentive then he was just moments ago. Knowledge, of any nature and caliber does not come freely and easily, nay, it is a process of learning and resoning that demands patience, focus, and time, traits that most individuals lack.

The blonde's gaze quickly airted and Yuuza's purple orbs keenly followed, carrying his sights upon a large body of water which been birthed from what little rainfall Tsuchi no kuni was blessed with. Momentarily his occuli repositioned itself with great focus as Yuuza's ears of understanding opened themselves up to the blonde's lips of wisdom.

”The technique that I’ll teach you will be..One called Rising water cutter. Let me begin by telling you that this technique is not to be taken lightly- It is one of quite good high speed and strength. You could probably cut through boulders with it if you used it correctly.”

Her words soon poured forth into Yuuza's ears with creamy grace as the technique's name resounded perpetually within his mind, digging a hole and burying itself along with the tombs of thoughts that laid deep within the recesses of Yuuza's mind. Yuuza's body lit up as the blonde 'teased' Yuuza about its power and speed, the very combative traits he needed to fulfill his grand goal. However, without warn the womans hands twisted and molded themselves into perfect seals before her tempestuous foot slammed into the earthen floor.

She looks kinda serious, you better pay attention, you could learn something.
Shaddap!

The ageless battle between Yuuza and his subconscious raged on as birds and dust of wind dissipated as her chakra flared with activity, kneading itself into the nature of water as a ample portion uplifted as if the hand of poseidon laid itself upon the area. Not seconds behind had the body of water ripped forward, aimed at a nearby tree with lethal lust. The tree was mighty indeed, however, the descending power of poseidon proved superior as it laid waste to the tree, shattering its bark and tearing it asunder with little effort.

Sure, Yuuza had his own powerful suiton jutsu, but this, this rising water cutter had power and speed beyond what jutsu he knew now. His eyes weakly presented themselves to be amazed in a contortion of his face, but one that was untracable to mere mortal eye. Such power. He thought as her body relaxed and freed itself from tension, however, it looked as if it took alot of starch out of her chakra capacity, and then he irrelevantly wondered, how much chakra does she have? It truly mattered none as she spoke once more...

”First of all- Handseals.”

He went along with the hand seals she slowly performed, and as expected, he performed them flawlessly and repeated like the process several times in order to familiarize himself with the varying seals.
"Like this correct? I believe i've got it down."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Her hands would continue to shape the seals but- No chakra would be twisted within them- She would simply be explaining for this. Although on the surface she would appear to be as statuesque as ever, the technique had tired her out- And she hated that. But, she’d be fine. ”I won’t perform the technique again- But I’ll simply explain for you to follow.” she’d tell him so that he was simply aware of this- With another nod of her head her eyes would keenly watch as his hands would carefully form seals- The brash person she had met moments ago who had quite an odd look on his face was gone- For now. Perhaps training was his passion? She had learned of some training nuts out there who’d run about from when the sun rose to when it fell- She had been one of those too, but that was a long time ago.

"Like this correct? I believe I’ve got it down."
”Yes- That’s right. Now- For the complicated part..”

And it was complicated. Why? How could you exactly explain the useage of chakra within this technique? Sure, she guessed it was simple but wording it was tough, techniques came natural to people once they were being created, so she would need to illustrate the whole process with words to allow him to learn how to use it. Her hands then lowering from the seals that she had been forming, her right hand would elevate and flick against the piece of hair that was always near her eye, moving it away for a few moments whilst she would explain to him how to use the technique. With both eyes now visible she would begin explaining to him, her greenish blue eyes looking in to his own eerie purple ones- Safely saying, she hadn’t seen purple eyes before.

So, opening her arms once more, her chakra not being utilized for this technique, she would then look towards the pond that she had used, there still being a good amount of water left that he could use for his technique once he had gotten to grips with how to form it. ”In order for this technique to succeed in being formed you have to use your ability to manipulate water on that pond- Of course, any body of water will do, though.” she’d tell him, her wording quite careful as she would try to describe it the best she could to prevent him from failing to learn the technique, it was quite a good level of one, so would he be able to form it without tiring out as she had? The answers would soon be seen- She hadn’t had that experience before but no doubt it wasn’t all that nice of a feeling..

”You have to make some of the water rise from the pond so that you can use it, so that it’s separate from the rest of the water, and so that the blade, to call it that, is elevated from the water source. You can decide how high you want it.” she’d explain, indicating for him to slowly perform this step before going on to the next one- This was quite a tricky technique and it was a must to learn it in stages- Due to the danger of it, it would be a bit hazardous if one was to lear nit straight off the bat, fail somewhat, and cause the water blade to go flying in to someone they knew. It, once more, had never happened to her, but she had heard of tales of people creating techniques carelessly and it backfiring on them. Luckily for her she was a perfectionist when it came to things like this- And many others, actually.

”Just raise the water.”

[Messatsu!]

Even after everything thing that went down you're still throwing yourself out there to others

She means me no harms, learning a quick technique will not hurt.

Must I always remind you that Takigakure said they meant no harm, and look at where you and Raoh are now.

...

The mental battle that would even strike fear into the renowned Yamanaka clan reared its incessant head as it occupied areas of his cognitive process which disallowed him to fully focus.

”Yes- That’s right. Now- For the complicated part..”

The woman spoke once more, momentarily purging the distraction that dwelt within Yuuza's mind. Truth be told as he focused he had not liked her statement for being complicated, this would indicate that this technique will deman multiple attempts before effective usage will be acquired. However, that factor mattered none for Yuuza's own chakra capacity exceeded many, including his elder brother. Obtaining focus once more, mental images of the seals flickered within his mind as he continued to grasp the speed and form.

He had that part down, and know it was time he kneaded his chakra into the nature's properties. Such a task would be relatively easy when having considered that was his natural elemental affinity was Suiton.

”In order for this technique to succeed in being formed you have to use your ability to manipulate water on that pond- Of course, any body of water will do, though. You have to make some of the water rise from the pond so that you can use it, so that it’s separate from the rest of the water, and so that the blade, to call it that, is elevated from the water source. You can decide how high you want it.”

I believe I understand now...

Having heeded the womans knoweledgable words his own hands twisted and formed with brisk speeds whilst kneading his chakra perfectly with that of the suiton nature. The waters afront began to falter as ripples manifested themselves in what little water remained within the pond. within seconds the waters agitated even further, slashing upwardly as a fairly large amount gently uplifted itself to linger within the air. Focused and concentration on his chakra distribution he was able to keep the float waters steady, enough so that the woman could continue onward to the next step.
