Hirihi had been put with the task of helping the newly graduated genin to gather the skills they needed to become better ninja. No experience would come better than the actual feeling of being in the situation, but she could prepare them for what they would need to do. She had made a special request to work with the genin that had set their mind to becoming medics for the village within their future. This was especially useful to her, because she would be able to help mold the coming medical shinobi in things that would help to make the hopsital much more productive. It also let her go over her basics once more to review since it had been a bit of time since she'd had a need to use some of the techniques that she was trained on long ago.

Walking up the path to meet her new students, Hirihi gave a passing smile to the group as she saw them sitting under the sahe of one of the nearby trees. They were a group of medical shinobi, that was for certain. Each wore their headband proud atop their brow, and Hirihi noticed that the group was comprised mostly of girls. Only one boy was present among them. It was typical to find that situation, but she couldn't explain why it was that women were drawn to being medics. As she approached, the male of the group looked at her and gave a rude glare. "Sorry, but we're waiting on our teacher right now. I don't think we have time to play with you." The boy said. He looked to be about 17, and that was the mean of the ages among the group.

The boy was about six foot tall, had dark blue eyes, and his hair was short and black. Hirihi furrowed her brow at the boy and rolled her dark red eyes, turning to look at the rest of the group. One of the girls was the first to notice the medical badge on her chest, immediately knowing that she was their teacher. The boy would be the last to notice, and would immediately go silent after going off as he had. "Glad to see that respect for elders is still present, even if it is a bit late." hirihi said, casting her gaze away from the boy. "My name is Hirihi. I'm one of the medical staff over at the hospital, and I am here to help you all become adept healers." She said, looking over the three students. Only three students out of the entire genin academy class?

"Well, first, just so that we can get started on a much better note, I'd like to hear all of your names. This way, I'm not just addressing you by informal terms." Hirihi said. "First names, only. I'm not good with last names, and I doubt that you'd remember mine either." She said. "Atell." The first girl said, tucking a strand of brown hair behind her ear as she watched Hirihi. "Koneko." The black haired girl said. "Anshou." The boy said, blue eyes staring dagger into the pink haired medic. This was going to be a lovely group to train.

[Hirihi]

Hirihi thought quietly on where they should begin. She could start with the basics, or she could get them started on healing hands. It was really difficult to say where to begin. To get started, she'd probably do well to teach them how to use bandages from any material around. It was the best way to take care of most problems. Plus, from there, it would help them with their chakra control so that they could better manage their energy for more difficult tasks. It would also teach the importance of sterility when it came to bandaging materials and wounds.

"First, for today, we are going to work with creating bandages." She said, seeing that a few were beginning to reach for materials from their packs. "No, we aren't going to use conventional materials for bandages. We are going to use things that you'd typically never see someone use. An example would be dirt. it's all around us, and we always find ourselves in need of bandages when things get to the point where we are scraping by for survival, am I right?" No one could truly verify her story, but she knew that what she was saying was right.

"So, first thing is first. We're going to learn how to mold the chakra properly for this. You're all farmiliar with handseals, so pay close attention." Hirihi said, taking her hands and placing them forward. Going through the handseals slowly, Hirihi then would place her hands on the ground in front of her and channel her chakra into the very ground around her hands. Her hands would glow with the chakra that was seeping into the nearby materials and would begin to sterilize them, while also forming an adhesive bandage. Lifting her hands from the ground, they would be coated in the purified dirt makeshift bandage.

"From here, you use the chakra to keep the bandage on your hands while you wrap the bandage around the specific area. Once you are done, just release your chakra from the bandage and you will have made yourself a sterilized, makshift bandage." SHe said, finishing by placing the bandage around her arm. The group had merely sat and watched her demonstrate, and to show that she hadn't just made some silly cover for her arm, she walked over and let the three examine the bandage much closer. All three seemed to be astounded by something so simple. It was interesting to think she used to be like them not too long ago.

[Hirihi]

Now that she had demonstrated the technique, she would beg etting a few questions as she peeled the bandage off of her arm and showed them how it would fall off just like a normal bandage. "So, if you use materials like dirt, are you risking infection?" The girl ATell had asked. "No. You use your chakra to purify the material and make it adhesive. Using that, you apply pressure and it acts like any other bandage you'd find in the hospital." Hirihi said, the girl nodding and the next question coming quickly after that.

"What about in the basis of materials? DOes it have to be something solid, or can you use anything you find for it?" Koneko asked, Hirihi glad that someone had brought up this particular point. "The only limit to the material is if you have enough to create the bandage. An example would be using leaves. You can use leaves, as well as water, if you have enough of it to mend together with your chakra. Your chakra is what makes the material stick together like this, and once you do it, it's just as good as any bandage. No material is better or worse than any other." She said, hoping it answered the quesiton.

"Why would you need this technique? If we're medics, don't we bring all of the supplies that we need to the fight?" The last question was one that she knew would come out, but she was pretty certain that she had already answered that question. Glaring to Anshou, she sighed and began to explain it again for him. "You can't always have enough supplies. Imagine a four man cell going into a forest, and coming along two groups of hurt ninja. That medic has enough for his or her own group, but she didn't pack materials for the other two. This is to help with conservation." She said, seeing his face retain taht same look of resentment.

What was it with this kid? He just seemed to be making rude comments for the hell of it now. Maybe it was something to do with the female authority figure. Mommy didn't love him enough or something. "Now, all three of you attempt the same thing I just showed you. I'll be watching so that you can make sure you are doing it right." She said, watching quietly as the three would begin to work through the handseals. They were still new to the field, so she didn't give them any flak if they asked her to show the handseals once more. She'd been a new ninja before, too.

[Hirihi]

Hirihi would first stop to observe Atell to see how well she was doing. Her handseals would need a bit of work, but a quick show of hands from Hirihi would help to correct that. This was one of the benefits of her hands on training with the younger medics-to-be. They'd be able to fix their mistakes now before getting the staff at the hospital to train them. They'd appear more intelligent for that matter, and it wouldn't be so much harder to learn the stuff later down the road. Watching quietly, Atell would slowly gather up the dirt and attempt to make a bandage. The bandage, however, wasn't sticking to her arm as it was supposed to. This was just another thing that Hirihi had made a mistake with a lot at first. The bandage was basically just backwards.

Koneko would be learning from Atell's mistakes. Her handseals were flawless, and her technique was even better than before. Watching as she'd apply the new bandage, it would stick to her arm perfectly as if it were a real bandage. "Good job. Only thing I might suggest is making sure that the material is purified by your chakra. If you can tell, you didn't completely clean the dirt before applying it as a bandage. It's no worries, though. Better to mess up now than later, right?" Hirihi said, keeping that same cheerful smile. Then, her gaze shifted to Anshou. It appeared he was being the ever observant little snot. He had snickered at a few of their mistakes, but Hirihi figured he'd make ten times more than they had.

Hirihi would find herself wrong, though, as he would create both a flawless handseal execution, as well as creating a perfect bandage. He'd either learned from their mistakes, or he had a natural knack for the field. Whatever the case, Hirihi merely commented that he had done nice work and moved on. He definitely had some kind of mommy complex, because he didn't seem pleased that she didn't automatically praise him for his amazing work. "Now, we are going to work on what would fall in next in your training. Though it is a bit early to perform the technique, I think it is a good idea that you see this for what it is now. It will require a lot more concentration from you than a simple bandage, and it gets you prepared for what is to come."

She, of course, was referring to the chakra scalpel. Performing a set of handseals, just as all the techniques had their own, Hirihi would produce the thin chakra blade from her fingertips and hold it out for them to see. When Atell had reached out to touch it, Hirihi shook her head and pulled it away. "This is the sharpest instrument you will work with. The chakra is pressed into a thin blade that can cut through bone, flesh, muscle, and even metals." She said, seeing Atell and Koneko nodding and noting it in the back of their minds. It was at this point that Anshou would seem to actually be paying attention. Imagine that, power promotes observation from the twerp. How grand...

[Hirihi]

Hirihi would help them through this second technique to help them at least get the general idea. She performed the technique once more to help them through how to form the technique. It was simplistic to her, but she could imagine to them how daunting of a thing it must be. Taking her place in front of Atell, starting there first, she would watch as she would breeze through these handseals and attempt to create the blade. She wouldn't be able to create it perfectly, though, and would end up just burning up some of her chakra in the attempt. "It's okay that you don't get it your first time. it is something you can always practice later on. Most teachers don't introduce this until later, but this is one of the commonly used techniques among medics. Especially for its uses in fighting." Hirihi said, turning to help Koneko through it.

Koneko would struggle in the same areas. It was just a matter of chakra control that they hadn't quite caught the concept of just yet. it was probably a bit early to introduce the technique, Hirihi realized, since they were still freshly graduated genin. It still seemed like a good idea to start with. When Koneko would fail as well, gaining a bit more ground over where Atell had been, Hirihi would nod and give her approval of the progress. "You'll get it. Just remember, this is something that you wouldn't expect to learn for at least a few weeks at the hospital. I'm only showing this to you to give you an idea of what you are in for." She said, sadly turning to look at Anshou.

He was holding a chakra scalpel in his hand, holding it forward and messing with the differing lengths of the blade. He was definitely a gifted child. This made Hirihi wonder why he was such a difficult person. Maybe he was one of those self-proclaimed prodigies that had to believe they were better than everyone else to ascertain some kind of fame or glory? "Very good. You'll get pretty far if you can grasp that in just one day alone." Hirihi said, stepping away and wondering what they should do next. If she continued to show them techniques, they might possible feel burdened with their new found knowledge.

Standing in front of them, Hirihi opened her arms out towards them as she spoke. "Now, I've shown you two key techniques that you'll need in the hospital. You'll thank me for this when you meet Ashlin. She's a tough medical trainer, but she was the one who taught me what I know. So, now that we've got you prepared for what you are going to face, I'll take any questions you have about being a medic. Anything at all." Hirihi said. This was the cooldown point of the training session. Just as much a physical activity, being a medic was also a mental activity. You had to be in the right mindset to be efficient. This would be the last thing that she could show them today without bogging them down early.

[Hirihi]

Atell would be the first one with a question. "Well, Hirihi, what made you want to become a medic?" She asked, Hirihi shrugging her shoulders as she thought about it. "When I was in the academy, I wasn't very good at some of the various training that others were. So, I had to do a lot of practice outside of class. With all the time I put into it, I ended up getting really good at manipulating chakra. One of the medics over at the hospital was attending our class, and she ended up enrolling me in a special program that worked me through both my academy classes, as well as pre-medic training to see if it is what I wanted to do." She said, quietly tapping her chin. "It all just came down to being really good at it. I like helping people, yes, but when you find something you are good at, you just don't turn away from it." She said, Atell nodding.

Turning to Koneko, Hirihi saw that she didn't really have a question. Anshou, to her dismay, would have a question to ask. Gesturing to the boy, Hirihi motioned for him to go ahead and ask. "I do have a question. How did you manage to get through the academy? You look like you could easily be my little sister. That make you 13 or 14?" He said, grinning as no one seemed to find his little statement funny. "Well, I graduate early from the academy, yes, but I graduate at about 15. I started later than most. As far as my CURRENT age, I'm actually 19 years old. With an attitude like that, you can't expect to get very far, Anshou." She said, grinning to see that her response had struck him deeper than she had aimed.

Seeing as they had a little bit of time left, Hirihi went on to discuss more about their life that they were slowly going to be leading into with the graduation from the academy. They would likely be staffed to learn from medics over at the hospital, as well as covering a few rounds for the medics when they were trained enough to be unsupervised. She even went into detail on how they might get placed on teams for their healing abilities specifically. When she found that there was nothing left to discuss, and there were no longer any pertinent things to be asked, Hirihi figured they were done for the day.

"It was a pleasure working with the three of you. I hope to see you three as rising stars at the hospital. Maybe you'll even train under me later on." Hirihi said, grinning as the three would begin to wander off. Before letting them go, she made sure to have their forms signed that they had attended the training class with her that afternoon. With that done, she watched as Anshou went a separate direction from the two, going off towards home. Hirihi felt that she wasn't done seeing that boy. Somehow, he'd just pop his little head back up again and give her more trouble down the road. She dreaded that day as she walked off to turn in the mission.
