A casualty among the rocks!

His expression would seem to change somewhat after she had spoken, it looking quite.. peculiar, but as soon as she spoke for the second time, it had seemed that his average expression had returned to him- What just had happened? Perhaps he was in pain or something? His body language didn’t suggest so but, eh. Watching as he would listen to her carefully as she explained what exactly to do in order to raise the water, he would then respond in a positive way, saying that he understood, which was quite good as it meant that she didn’t have to go all over it again for him. But it was far from over- There were a few steps left until he would be able to perform the technique correctly but it wouldn’t take that long with him, hopefully. From what he had already shown, he was a fast learner.

And then- It was her time to watch as her eyes would gaze upon the pond as he would try and mimic what she herself had just done minutes ago by manipulating the water itself. It was a handy thing that they were able to use water in such a way because truly, she did love her medical ninja lifestyle but she did enjoy using suiton and other means of techniques, too. But, her job was medical shinobi, really, and she needed to work on that. But- It was no matter any more. Right now her priority was teaching this kid the jutsu, and then she could leave to go train with herself or something like that. ”…….” the curvaceous blonde would stay silent as she would simply view as the boy would attempt to raise the water, her expression still quite cold, but by now, that had become a normal look for her.

And..
There we go.
It would seem that once the boy had attempted to do it, he had managed to perform it correctly, the water slowly but surely began to quiver beneath the force of something unseen- His chakra. It was a pretty interesting thing to watch as really she took no time to look at the effects of her own jutsu whilst it was being created, and was more interested usually in the damage or effect that it caused afterwards. But- It did seem at least a little bit magical to watch the water rise from where it was in to the air, it floating around above the pond- A truly strange sight to those who were unfamiliar to chakra or the fact that shinobi could manipulate water to their advantage, it was something quite normal to Blanche, but it was nonetheless pretty in a strange, aquatic way.

”There we go-
That’s right. You’ve got the hang of that now as it seems.
But what you need to do now is form it in to a blade-like creation. Mould the water you’ve just taken control of.
Concentrate the water, as so to say, until it forms quite a thin object.”

It was quite hard to say- She had never been a teacher before so this wasn’t exactly one of her strongest points, and never had she really been the teaching type unless it came to things in the medical field, where she had taught one or two students a few years her junior back in Kusagakure whilst helping in the hospital. But- What she meant was that he needed to concentrate the water he had made rise above the surface of the water in to a blade-like form so that it could slice through anything and everything (almost). It’s this step that was the most vital to the technique itself because Rising water cutter wouldn’t exactly be a full technique without exaggeration on the word cut. If he was to fail this, he would have to try again, but, would he be able to do it? Being a spectator from this moment on, she would now watch- This was one of the final parts of the technique, before she would teach him how to send it flying in to an object- For now, they would practice on trees. She didn’t feel like risking disrupting the rock of the mountain, just in case it would create some kind of landslide.

His chakra flared, bustled, and thrummed about with heavy activity as he kept the body of water afloat for several seconds. A chakra upkeep slowly sapped away at his max capacity, however, being doubled then most genin he was able to sustain it for significantly longer times.

”There we go-
That’s right. You’ve got the hang of that now as it seems.
But what you need to do now is form it in to a blade-like creation. Mould the water you’ve just taken control of.
Concentrate the water, as so to say, until it forms quite a thin object.”

Though her words were blunt and stale, the were words of brief extolment nonetheless and that-deep down within his being- he longed for a sense of praise, but dared not show it. His elder brother Raoh, who he so tries to appease so contentedly lacks such skills, never giving him or anyone for that matter words of praise so openly. This woman reminded him of Raoh in some ways as the two were cold and near emotionless, two traits that shined prominently within them both. Refusing to wait an overly long time to commence the next stage within the technique he began to knead his chakr-

DON'T LOSE FOCUS

Yuuza's subconscious spoke to him in that instant, causing mental images of his killings to replay themselves in his mind. Much to his surprise the images were accompanied buy a series of vexations which caused headaches. Instantly he fell to one knee as if his very will shattered beneath his subconscious' influence, holding his palm to his forehead as he endured the pain. "Damnit, leave my head alone." The worse finally came to pass as the pain faded with each passing second and as if nothing happened he stood up and reformed the hand seals he once lost.

His palms clapped and fingers danced, the waters ascended once more as its liquid existence whipped about as it began to expand and thin itself out. Within seconds the water formed into what could have only been described as a cutting blade of water.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Now, it would seem as if finally he had found something a bit hard as he would seem to lose focus of what he was doing or, he at least seemed to blank out for a little while. All Blanche would do was look on wordlessly, her arms crossed firmly across her chest as the tall blonde would look on at him, wondering exactly what was happening- However, what he had to say next, regarding the fact that he wanted something or someone to leave his head alone, she would raise an eyebrow, a bit confused about what was happening- Was he having some kind of inner battle? Or was he one of them people with an alternate personality about them? Whatever it was, she wasn’t too sure of, but she would up her guard somewhat, just in case the guy decided to go apeshit and send the blade flying towards her.

She would watch on as he would then seem to drop to his knee, a look of slight pain upon his face but she was sure that it wasn’t too physical- It was pretty true that there was something wrong with him, but she would ask him after he had learned the technique. The quicker she got this over with, the quicker she had a warm bed to have a good nights sleep in- The guy with the dodgy legs on the floor no doubt would know of some kind of inn that she could go to- But less of that. The technique that he had attempted to form had no doubt failed as the water dropped back lifelessly in to the pond itself, probably scaring some of the bugs and frogs that might live within its watery depths. ”Try again.” she’d tell him, her words once more blunt. Not that she wasn’t meaning to be supportive, but that was just Blanche for you.

But it wasn’t soon until he himself seemed to go onwards to finish what he had started anyhow, rising once more silently, and repositioning his hands so that he was now forming the seals once more. It was a bit strange to see such a quick transition but she was glad that he had gotten over whatever had been plaguing his mind so. Perhaps he had been effected by a genjutsu and it was still fresh in his mind? Unfortunately in the world of shinobi anything was possible, really, so there were numerous possibilities as to why the guy was suddenly writhing in pain. ”…….” His hands would elegantly move about once more as the zodiac seals would be formed again in the same manner as they had been minutes ago, he repeating what he ha done, this time she noticing that the water was moving up a lot quicker than it had the first time- He was learning fast.

But could he do it?
Could he create the water blades that the technique was so famed for? Everything would soon be reviled as she would then seen what would appear to a blade out of water, miraculously formed from the amount of it that had just been in the air. Almost like disappearing act, the water that had hung strangely a moment ago had been replaced with what would appear to be still water, but in a more malicious looking form. A mean smirk would then come to her face, as she would nod her head, signalling that his quick learning had appeased her. ”There- Now that’s done, now’s the time to learn how to fire it- Look at that tree over there.” she would tell him, indicating to one of the other slightly dead looking trees that were dotted around the place. ”You simply control that blade as you’re doing it now, just, control it in order to send it flying in to that tree- I want to see it cut in half, and I will not accept anything less than that, I’m afraid. Go. Manipulate your chakra within the blade.” she would tell him, describing what he had to do quite easily- His chakra was already in the blade, so all he needed to do now was give it some movement.

Having successfully stabilized the lingering water blade his chakra's capacity was draining at a steady pace, finally he was able to feel the primordial fatigue that slowly reared its ugly head. "Damn, not only is this technique pretty powerful but the drain it has after repeated use is exhausting." Speaking to himself within the safety of his own mind he observed and analyzed the technique even further, taking in the speed in which it took to form in comparison to his first usage.

However, such an analysis would prove fruitless as the technique itself would be of no use should Yuuza not be able to successfully locate and launch it towards his target. ”There- Now that’s done, now’s the time to learn how to fire it- Look at that tree over there.” His eyes quickly watched over the nearby tree as she begun to present him with a target to test his newfound jutsu on, a child a mother earth.

"You simply control that blade as you’re doing it now, just, control it in order to send it flying in to that tree- I want to see it cut in half, and I will not accept anything less than that, I’m afraid. Go. Manipulate your chakra within the blade.”

He acknowledged the womans words with a simple nod as his chakra kneaded and flared even higher then before, burning it out like a fat man on a treadmill. And in a mere instant the blade of water ripped forward, tearing through the fabrics of air with a vengeful taint. A melodic note sung beautifully into atmosphere from the splitting of whispering winds as the blade bit into the tree's bard with lethal lust, tearing its flesh asunder, splitting it into two. Heh, that wasn't clean, judging from the cuts the blade struggled towards the end. Isn't close enough

He relaxed his arms as he took a few deep breaths showing that fatigue was slowly setting in. "Odd. I thought that would have been it. It faltered slightly as it went through."

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It was soon becoming clear to the blonde that the effect of the prolonged use of the technique was soon taking its toll on the boy but- it wouldn’t be soon until she would finish with him, and he would end the technique, hopefully- Or he would probably faint, and that would mean, being the attentive person that she was at some points, she’d have to stay behind a few more measly hours to make sure this guy, along with legs, was alright. Sigh. Anyhow, she would watch has his breathing would become slightly louder, but he nonetheless would continue to try and learn the aquatic technique- Sure enough, he was stubborn. Just like she was. If she was training something and suddenly she had gone out of breath, she wouldn’t wait until she was better of course, she would go onwards and continue learning with it, even if it meant blacking out, which had happened to her one or two times in the past. However, with age, she gained a bit more maturity as far as that was concerned.

"Odd. I thought that would have been it. It faltered slightly as it went through."

The effects of the technique had been quite strange as he had spoken of- The blade that he had made had in fact gone right through the tree itself but then again its power had swayed a little bit towards the end but, she didn’t mind all that much, her slightly caring side kicking in to motion as her continually cold eyes would continue to look at him, viewing the efforts he made to learn the technique in question. But, it wasn’t all his fault. Her guesses were that it had only begun to falter after his chakra supply had probably run low, something which happened to the best of people- She had nonetheless been quite pleased with the results, he would just have to keep on trying to perfect it later on in time. For now, it would seem as if he was almost done.

”There- That aught to do it.
The blade had only lessened in strength because your chakra has been depleted.
When using this technique on a battle situation however, with no doubt it’d be able to cut through the sharpest of things without many problems. You’ve learned it quite quickly, so fair do’s to you.” she’d speak, praising his efforts in the most subtle way, her tone still seeming unimpressed- Although, her voice was always like that, so there wasn’t much change, really. The technique which she had taught him, rising water cutter, had seemed to be executed correctly by him, perhaps not as perfect as her own had been but nonetheless it was a very good attempt for a beginner at the jutsu. She would have applauded him with a clap or two, but her arms were still crossed across her chest, as they usually always were, a daunting posture which helped suggest her powerful authority, and the factor of intimidation that she used so very well.

With a slight grin would she then nod her head, watching as his breath would become much deeper, signalling that he was well and truly worked out by the aquatic technique that he had just performed. And then she would give him a brief outlook on the technique that he had just used. ”You did well. Take a rest for a little while, or you’ll black out. Trust me, it isn’t that nice.” she’d tell him, taking her usual role as a medic, and suggesting ways that he could improve his current health. He was out of breath, but, after a bit of sleep or rest, his health would surely return back to normal, and he would be able to go back to doing whatever he was doing before he bumped in to her. Was he glad for learning the technique? She couldn’t tell, but she was glad that she didn’t have to fork over some Ryo to him.

Constant exhalations came forth from his lungs as both mind and body seemed to fall into a state of relaxation. His breathing soon returned to its original pace once his muscles and chakra grew calm, less vengeful then it did just moments ago. "Odd, I have more chakra yet I'm this exhausted. That technique was indeed straining, but I was sure my chakra output was much more higher than this. No matter Its just something I'll have to work on." This thought occupied his mind as this sudden hunger to increase his chakra output ate away at his very being. He realized that should he have even a shadow of a doubt at achieving his ultimate goal along side his brother Raoh, he would need to hone his chakra control as wells how much dwells within his circulatory system.

He remained there in an erect stand, uplifting and opening his palm towards his chest as he gazed into it as if he'd be a street palm reader. A vexed, yet, purposeful expression cast itself upon his visage as he momentarily trapped himself within a bubble of silence. "Slowly I'm growing stronger, and soon both you and I will be able to save her Raoh. With this new techniques speed and power combined with dedicated practice, it can become a powerful asset within my arsenal."

”You did well. Take a rest for a little while, or you’ll black out. Trust me, it isn’t that nice.”

Even with his mind hard at work it jolted across the threshold into reality at the sound of the womans voice, his gaze uplifted to meet the blondes own, staring into her eyes for several seconds before his response came to mind. "Thank you...for both the advice and the technique, however, I believe I'll be fine. I'd be more worried about the man who can barely stand...by the way. I'm Kenshiro Yuuza."

Providing another with ones own name, a small act of respect and trust and just another way to thank the woman for her knowledge. He'd give the woman a brief smile, however, before he could this suffocating presence encircled him as he felt a heavy for upon his shoulders.

[Raoh]

A cold remorseless hand seemingly reached out from the bowels of nullity and placed itself upon Kenshiro's shoulder bearing the weight of the world. Raoh Yuuza seemingly withstood the laws of time and space as he abruptly appeared at Kenshiro's back with an explosion of wind that dissipated heavily outwardly from his appearance point. Raoh towered over Ken's small frame with a hulking height of 6'11 as the suns oblique rays showered Raoh's back, presenting the forefronts of his body as an umbrageous daemon cloaked in a pitch dark, hood-less cloak. A heavy, malefic chortle emanated from this 'demons' lungs as it spoke with a minatory tone that had not been of this world.

Well little brother, even for a woman she speaks the truth. You must rest, regain your strength for the battles and death that lies ahead of us.

The azure sky was clear, free from atmospheric impurities as Raoh himself peer upwardly into the heavens as if to gaze upon them. If gods really had administered this world, Raoh would make it his life's mission to seek out these gods and crush them beneath his might before dissecting them and extracting all possibly knowledge. Such was the dark taint of a 'hobby' Raoh sported. Raoh turned towards the woman, facing her properly as the suns spilling rays alighted itself just enough to bring light to half of his body. His sanguine optics radiated as they screamed with the deprivation of life, watching over the woman with obscured interest.

"It seems, you've been training with my younger brother, how kind of you, is there any way that I can show you my gratitude?"

He spoke with the identical tone as before as a satanic smirk plastered itself across his mouth. Raoh wished to dissect and gain knowledge from all beings, however, given the goals in which both Raoh and Ken aimed for, Raoh could not completely come to terms with using a female specimen, this girl was lucky.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Continuing to look down at the boy who was a bit shorter than she had been- Which, strangely enough gave her more of a sense of authority, being tall was one of her favourite things, it both allowed her to look down on people, and it made herself look even more daunting! Such a beauty she was, but such an eerie one at that. ”……” But what he would do next was a bit confusing- He would seem to raise his hand somewhat and open his hand so that his palm was visible, he then staring in to it for a few minutes. Unsure of what exactly was happening she’d simply shrug, and await for this strange little episode to finish before she would say anything more. Luckily for her, it soon ended, and she would be faced with a few words spoken that she would reply to- From what he was saying, he seemed thankful that she had taught him.

”It’s no problem-
And yes- I’ll get him home just fine. It’s pretty easy from now on, judging from the area.
And my name?
Blanche.
..It’s nice to meet you.”

He was a good kid, from what she could tell, and he hadn’t gotten on her nerves, so that was pretty good for him and her, since she didn’t feel like raging out on someone right now. All she wanted to do was take this guy back, and have a good nights sleep, along with a nice meal. Her money would cover it just fine. A black, gloved hand would outstretch to shake his own, however, if he was to take it to shake was his own, but, it would be rude to not do it, right? Nonetheless, after that would happen, her arms would move back in to their crossed position, as suddenly, her eyes would become aware of another person who had just seemed to appear in the area, causing her left foot to move backwards, whilst her arms would move forwards slightly, just in case he was about to pull something, but-

The figure soon revealed itself to place its hand on Kenshiro’s shoulder, and speaking of himself as Kenshiro’s older brother. What was this, a family meeting?! ”Don’t speak about women in such ways. We are capable doing of anything that you do.” she’d tell him in a slightly aggravated tone- What he had said had been quite ignorant and she made it clear that it had annoyed her- Already, she had taken a slight disliking to this guy, which wasn’t too good for his own record, but, as far as her anger could be described as now, she was still tame. Upon looking at him further she would notice that the man had quite a hulking figure upon him, his gigantic muscles if but clashed somewhat with his angelic looking blonde hair- It had puzzled her exactly how some men could go to a size such as the one he was but, she had no want for she herself to be like that.

She liked her own soft feminine yet athletic form so she didn’t see why some women went to the extents of wanting to look like walking tanks. This man, however, did seem to be a walking tank. ”However- Yes. Your brother had been kind enough to help me with getting this guy down the mountain. Thank you.” The thank you part meant towards Kenshiro himself, her gaze would turn to his, before looking back at the portly man who they had moved down the mountain, then at Kenshiro’s brother as he asked if she wanted anything in return- What did she need? Not much, really. ”I ask for nothing in return.” she would tell him, nodding her head. Of course, Ryo, knowledge and everything was all well and good but, she didn’t want to keep the two for too long, last thing she wanted to do was be brought in to some family matter. The strange grin upon his face was quite odd, but it didn’t get to her, as didn’t many things.

[Messatsu!]

"Well little brother, even for a woman she speaks the truth. You must rest, regain your strength for the battles and death that lies ahead of us."

His eyes widened, showing a sense of surprise as he quickly turned to face his brother, looking up into monstrous crimson orbs. The surprise soon washed over his face as he quickly and calmly responded. "Trust me I'm fine right now, I'll rest on the way to there." His purple gaze met with Raoh's own as they followed him once he turned his attention toward Blanche.

He watched on as Raoh exchanged words with the woman, coming to a conclusion that she'd been training Yuuza, man was good, he was a Yuuza which were very analytic individuals. Yuuza refused to stick around as he turned to continue his seemingly aimless walk that was interrupted by the mans screams some time earlier. He knew his elder brother would follow as he finished saying whatever it was he had to say to the woman, so he simply gave himself a head start, continuing his goal to save her.

/exit

[Raoh]

The woman laid claim that she wished not to receive anything for her efforts, but then again, Raoh knew not the reason why she had done so primarily, he really didnt buy the story in its entirety, he never saw Kenshiro, his baby brother, as the 'randomly helping' type of individual. Nonetheless he seemed unharmed, from this Raoh cared not about their affairs.

"I see, well then that settles it, farewell and may the heavens lead you to power."

Blessing the woman with his final words he gave his back to her and continued his purposeful stride behind his younger brother, heading in a new direction.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

It wasn’t long after that the larger brother seemed to speak of farewell, wishing that the heavens shall give her power- Quite an odd thing as she hadn’t exactly been blessed like so in the past before, but then again maybe he came from a family with such customs? Maybe, maybe not. Shrugging somewhat she would watch as they would leave, she uttering a final ”Farewell.” too, as she would watch as the pair would walk out to the distance, she not exactly knowing where exactly they were off too, although their words had been quite cryptic. Anyhow, she had her own things to do Blanche would stay in her spot until she would see them finally disappear, and then she would set up work, picking up the man and supporting him on her shoulder, his arm wrapped around her neck.

”Could you direct me towards where your village is, sir?” she’d ask, her medic mindframe coming to blossom once more in her movements and actions- She just needed to get this guy back, and she’d finally be able to have some calm. Watching as the man’s other arm would then point out a direction, she would nod, and would then follow ahead with where he was going. It was getting pretty late now, but the sun was still up, although it was soon to depart within the next hour or so, so her speed quickened somewhat, to prevent them from getting there after nightfall- This land was foreign to her, so all kind of hazards could pop up out of nowhere to get the both of them. But, she trusted in her abilities to protect the man and herself if needed.

So, slowly but surely the two would soon make their way towards what could be described as a very, very small town. The effects of the war were obvious, but also at the same time the community seemed to start rebuilding the area, not that there was much to rebuild. Some things were shabby, although the bigger and better looking buildings were a bit roughed up. However, it seemed like a nice place to live. Walking over to where the man directed, which seemed to be a small clinic of sorts, she would go inside, and look at the secretary with her cold, daunting gaze, speaking the words: ”This man has broken his legs on one of the nearby mountains- I assure you can take care of him?” she’d ask, looking at her seriously before putting the man down in a nearby chair. As the secretary nodded her head, Blanche would then look to the man and speak Goodbye, and goodnight. quite quietly, before leaving the building.

Now- She was off to find some sleep herself. Walking around the small area, she would look up at the signs which read from armour shops to grocery shops to bars- Ahaha- The butchers arms- An Inn, which by the small posted in the window, had a few rooms open to sleep in. Walking inside, her figure would make quite the standstill between the drunken men and women in the bar, they looking at the angel of such curvy proportions, the less dignified ones staring mostly at her chest, to which she saw, and yet, for the sake of not being kicked out, ignored by giving them a malicious, snide look, before then going to the barman, and discussing money for the room. It wasn’t soon until she had managed to get it, and she would go up the stairs, to prepare to sleep. Within this Inn she would stay all night, until the morning, where she quickly packed her bags, and left the establishment, the smell of alcohol still strong in her nose although she hadn’t been the one drinking.
