Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Flickering is forward-moving, meaning the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. The user can flicker once per thread, plus once more each time retrained.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce. In the end, the user will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly should they need it. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.

FLASHBACK- ATLAS, 13 YRS OLD

Training for the body flicker began with a simple breathing exercise. Relaxing the tendons in his muscles with deep inhales of air- one, two, three four, hold- and deep exhales- one, two, three, four. The chakra flowed harmoniously within his body, through his veins, through his mind. A shiver of delight, pure relaxation and calm, and the young warrior was ready to begin. He pulled out a pair of knives from his satchel and stabbed them into the moist, grassy ground several meters apart from each other. They would be used as markers, to gauge the distance he could travel with the body flicker. To measure his progress with the popular technique.

He sauntered over besides one of the erect weapons and focused his eyes on the other, approximately ten meters ahead of him. How did that Chuunin at the Academy do it again? Something with the feet and ankles, definitely something with the feet and ankles… Without a single hand seal, but with his mind, he willed his chakra to gather and mingle together around his feet. The same way he would whenever he planned on walking on water, or scaling a tree. It wasn’t difficult. In fact, he could practically do that in his sleep. Those techniques were basics at the Academy. But now he’d learn how to focus that energy and use it for the body flicker.

So he started. He focused his chakra, his chi, on specific locations on his feet. His ankles and his heel. He could feel the energy tingling beneath his skin, begging to be used, begging to release. But he had to think this through first. The body flicker technique was used primarily to close in on an opponent at a rapid speed, shooting forward at a pace so fast it was nigh untraceable. It required minimal concentration once learned, they’d said, but could prove to be harmful if used over one’s limit. There was no doubt- he'd need to be careful, lest he wanted a broken ankle and an untimely trip to the ER.

He took a step forward, with the chakra buzzing around his heels and ankles, and felt the sudden urge to run. The energy was actually attempting to push him, though if it was for his own benefit or not, he didn't know. Maybe it was just unbalanced? He stopped moving and closed his eyes, connecting to his chakra again and focusing on its balance. Too much of it and he'd probably dart off-course and fall face first into the ground... too little and he wouldn't take-off to begin with. Confident in the quantity of chakra he had now, the young swordsman relaxed his shoulders, bent his knees and darted forward... only to realize he had run at a normal pace. He stopped, shook his head, and turned around to take his place back at the knife marker. Too little. The technique needs more chakra. I wonder what else I might be doing wrong?

FLASHBACK- ATLAS, 13 YRS OLD

With his place back beside the knife marker, he took a deep breath and continued his training. Only this time, he didn’t just focus the chakra on his ankles and heels. He spread the energy all across the soles of his feet as well. If it needed more chakra, he’d have no choice but to follow its demands. Or at least give it some leeway. He bent his knees again, relaxed his shoulders, and positioned his feet in the proper stance. Then he clenched a single fist and gathered the chakra in bursts towards his feet. The blades of grass beneath him pricked up with the sudden concentration of energy. He realized he was possibly going a bit too far, but was compelled to dart forward before he could correct that.

A soundless concussion of air, an uncontrolled outburst of energy that sent him shooting through the air and landing on the side of his face. Mud was streaked across his cheek, loose blades of grass hung in his hair. He groaned. So that’s what happens when you over do it… huh? He staggered to both his feet as the chakra he’d focused on his feet dissipated. Nothing too serious, just an aching feeling in his ankles. He’d gotten lucky this time. Determined to continue until he mastered the basics of this technique, Atlas ambled back towards his starting position and stretched his legs. There was something he was missing in the whole equation of the thing… something crucial. If only he could figure out what it was.

Perhaps he was focusing too much on his chakra control? The technique dealt mainly with speed, after all. Incredible speed… like lightning. Being patient, going at a slow pace… maybe these were the things that were holding him back. If he wanted to be fast, he’d have to believe he was fast, immerse himself in that aspect. Control his chakra that way, move his body like it was as light as a feather. This was what the body flicker technique was about. It wasn’t just ninjutsu… it was also, essentially, taijutsu. How could he forget that?

Standing beside one of the knife markers, with the other approximately ten meters away, Atlas mentally prepared himself for what would come next. He’d figured it out, but now he had to put his plans- well, more like guidelines, really- into practice. He’d need to focus on his chakra, but only in a burst. Like when he’d learned the Mekurumeku. A technique that dealt with speed was executed in a matter of milliseconds. That was all the time he had to gather and expel his chakra. All the time he would have during a battle, so he’d have to get used to it.

FLASHBACK- ATLAS, 13 YRS OLD

He dropped into a loose stance, relaxed and agile, limber and lightweight. His hands clenched lightly with his arms held up at chest level. He unclenched his shoulders as a deep quiver ran through his body. He could feel his chakra buzzing around his entire body, unfocused but amplified with his thoughts. He’d need it prepared.

Another deep breath and, after a brief moment of thought, he acted. The chakra sank to his feet instantaneously and he darted forward without another thought. A poof of smoke blew up in the air, he was doing it, he was actually doing it… then failure. Though he was running in a straight line, Atlas lost control of himself within a millisecond of taking off. Unable to keep up with the motions of his body, he’d tripped on his own feet and fell forward, pummeling into the grass for the second time that morning. “For fuck’s sake…” He groaned and opened his eyes to find himself at eye-level with the second knife marker. A glimmer of progress.

If he hadn’t tripped on his clumsy feet, if he hadn’t lost control… then maybe he would have had it by now. Though the fact that he was nearly complete did lift his spirits. So, despite his recent botch, he picked himself up from the ground with a thin smile and wiped the mud off his face with the sleeve of his tan jacket. Then, after picking the grass out of his hair, he resumed his training.

He issued the same stance, calmed himself with the same routine, but began with a widened sense of mind. With a jutsu as fast paced as this one, he couldn't just expect his feet to go through the motions just yet. He needed to focus moving them himself, get them used to it, as if he was learning to walk all over again. It didn't seem like a such a difficult task in his mind, but he wouldn't know until he was in the heat of it. Those milliseconds after take-off... those were all that counted.

He pointed his right foot forward and bent his left foot behind him, imitating the stance of those professional athletes he'd seen before- the runners. His chakra flow was gentle and calm, but he sparked it to wakefulness with a determined gleam in his eyes. Take-off was imminent, all personnel needed to be primed and ready. Without another thought, he dashed forward.

Finding the proper setting to conduct and begin his training for this barrier technique was not a difficult task. Walking along one of the many main roads of Tetsu no Kuni, the half-masked ninja would stumble across an abandoned temple dedicated to the sun goddess Amaterasu. It front gate was wide enough and tall enough to practice this technique on fluidly, and he would not hesitate to put himself beside it as he started to run the specifics through his mind. The gate was unlocked, as the temple had long been left to ruin, but it was made of a sturdy wooden substance perfect to test his seal drawings on. But first, he would have to break down and utilize the seal drawing chakra that he'd heard about in the Academy long ago- chakra-enhanced fingertips used to form the symbols.

He'd start by taking in deep breaths of cold air, trying to force his lungs to withstand the intense and frigid temperature in this snow-barren lands as he did so. Then when he began to feel his chakra stir and boil within the core of his body, he would lead the fresh chi up his chest and through his arms, until finally they hit a dead end at his hands. The feeling that came with having one's palms stored with a fistful of chakra was warm and relieving, especially in the icy and mountainous area he was in now, but Atlas wouldn't waste any precious time admiring that little factor. Now he'd have to direct his energy to his fingers, and balance them on the tip of each one, so they gained the ability to draw out his little creations and bring his barrier seal to fruition.

He would wiggle each finger and relax the muscles in his shoulders as he focused, smiling when he felt the chakra bump and crawl past the bones on each hand. Then, he'd suddenly know he was ready when each digit felt heavier than they had previously been. The only problem, however, was the fact that each finger weighed differently, and the index on his right was particularly feeling as hefty as a concrete brick. It was the chakra again, the chakra he'd gathered and attempted to store in these little conduits. Bothering to release an annoyed tch from his lips, the half-masked ninja would move on to the next step in his plan. Which, in reality, was the only one idea he could come up with in his mind. More focus, more relaxation, and more attention to those particular limbs as he evened things out.

He was quite aware that if each finger didn't have the right amount of chakra, and was unusually balanced, then that would make drawing the seal itself a lot more difficult than it should be. So he creased his brow and narrowed his eyes as he delved into that deep realm of concentration he was so used to performing nowadays. Holding out his hands in front of him, with each palm facing downwards, Atlas would hum a rhythmic mantra within his head to keep his focus on line. He found that it helped often, in these sorts of situations. But to enhance the quality of his focus even further, he would mentally chant the symbols he planned on drawing within his mind. Symbols depicting strength, guts and iron. Symbols of protection, the would ultimately serve as the core for the seal he would draw and integrate with his own chakra. He could feel that time drawing near! Trying not to succumb to the anticipation, he'd continue.

Each digit, on each finger, bumped and tingled with the sensation of his previously garnered chakra running through them. The half-masked ninja would close his eyes as he delved into this sense of meditation and began to balance the energies out within each finger, until finally, he had gotten the chakra down. Now his hands simply buzzed with the energy at their full potential, and instead of feeling bogged down or otherwise heavy, they felt particularly lighter than usual. The Cloud ninja reasoned that this was for drawing purposes, to enhance the speed of his calligraphy as he drew out the symbols required for the seal. But he always kept one little fact in the back of his mind- it wasn't the speed that mattered, but the accuracy more. And he would soon find out for himself.

Taking a slow step forwards, to face the wooden gate within hand's reach, the half-masked ninja would raise a single hand and let the other hang loosely on his side. The first hand he would utilize in his first attempt, and if he were to fail, then he would use the second. Curling the fingers in the particular hand he had chosen- the right- he'd point his index finger out and tap it against the surface of the wooden gate Immediately, the chakra within his hand reacted to the contact, a pulse of energy reverberating throughout his entire right arm. It had fallen out of balance for a split-second, but returned to it almost as immediately as it had done so. Sighing in relief, the Cloud ninja would focus on channeling the chakra through his index as he cautiously began the first stroke- one of many that would create the myriad of symbols he planned on forming for the barrier.

The first stroke would begin the schematics for what he planned to outline first- the kanji symbol for iron. As his index slowly streaked across the wood, barely touching its surface with its chakra-enhanced fingertip, it would leave small trails of light blue chakra residue in its wake. The Cloud ninja didn't know if this was only visible through his eyes- with his abilities as a sensor- or through the eyes of everyone. But either way, it helped him remember what he had been drawing seconds earlier and where he planned to go with the outline next. At first, every stroke he drew simply looked like a jumble of random squiggles and circles. But as he continued, as his mind flashed through the image he sought to replicate again and again, the lines and squiggles gradually became shapes and formed the intricate halves of the symbol he was set on finishing off.

A mere minute passed before the half-masked ninja made any leeway. The symbol was starting to look clearer now, but it was only one in a set of several. Eventually, he would learn to draw all of them with ease until they formed one single entity- one single conduit that would serve as the devourer of his chakra and form a barrier with the energy. But for now, the Cloud ninja had to pay attention to all the meticulous detail and memorize each and every stroke by heart, until he could actually do this with his eyes closed. Then suddenly, a sharp pain in his index finger. The wooden gate had countered his advances, stabbing him with a stray splinter and drawing blood from the sole of said finger. The stroke he'd been executing had only been issued halfway before his finger slipped. Now he'd have to start all over.

When his finger slipped, all the light blue chakra residue he saw on the space of gate he'd been drawing on suddenly disappeared. He hissed in slight pain with the sting he felt on his finger, and bit the splinter out with gritted teeth. After sucking off the blood and shaking the pain out of his digit as best he could, the half-masked ninja would drop his right and pick up his left hand this time. Luckily for him, he was ambidextrous, so utilizing his left hand to write or draw was certainly not going to be much of a problem for him. And plus, that was currently the only limb where he had gathered his chakra just now. And the Cloud ninja wasn't one of those that liked wasting any amount of charka willy-nilly.

Sucking in a deep breath of air to calm his recent nerves, Atlas would poke the wooden gate with the index finger on his left hand, then cautiously pressed it against it even further. The resonance again, the reaction that came with pressing his chakra against the surface of this gate. And he could feel it, his chakra balancing itself out as he willed it so, adjusting to the quality of the texture he planned to draw upon and set a barrier with. Eyes wide open and alert, the Akegarasu would commence his second try at the low-level barrier seal. Strokes were executed, carefully placed as he simultaneously plotted out the next one he would line out. The symbol for iron was forming once more, this time a bit more speedily than before. And before he knew it, it was coming to fruition at last.

With the symbol for iron done, Atlas would advance with a toothy grin to the next one, which would be placed directly over it- the symbol for strength. His finger was growing red with the friction against this particular surface, as it streaked and swiped across it, following Atlas' demands, but the Cloud ninja would hold in there and growl through the pain. Small, nearly translucent splinters had built up on the sole of said finger, but he ignored that too, as he came closer and closer to finishing the symbol for strength. Then, when he'd finished, he bark a truimphant laugh and move on to the final symbol he'd draw- the symbol for chakra or chi. This one was much more intricate than the others, and he would need every ounce of focus his muddled mind could muster.

As he continued to draw the symbol, he figured in his mind that soon he'd be able to perform the technique through some form of hand seals, perhaps, or a simple thrust of his palm on a surface. But for now, breaking down the technique and going through it step-by-step would help him most. With enough determination, and enough practice, he could memorize each and every detail and perform the technique as flawlessly as he could.

With his recent training on seals, the Akegarasu felt it was only appropriate to continue on and at least learn another technique in the genre before moving on to other things. So with that in mind, he would delve back into the depths of his memories and set upon learning the famed Gogyou Fuuin, or "Five Elements Seal". Concentrating on his chakra control first, using only his mental energy and willpower towards his endeavor, the Cloud ninja would take deep breaths and delve back into that mediation he had felt earlier. The fact that the winds were blowing with such cold winds and snow made it tons more difficult for him to focus, but he would lightly bite his lip and continue on until he got it. If anything, the freezing weather would serve to heighten his sense of mediation and enhance his focus after all, as it did with many other training methods.

His body would quiver as a fistful of chakra sprang from the depths of his core, swirling inside and glowing with an unnatural warmth. It was so intoxicating, so warm, that the half-masked ninja had half a mind to just lay down on the snow covered grass and relish its presence, instead of putting it to work as he had intended to do so. But after a few seconds, seconds in which the young man would contemplate just what was going on, he would put his mind set back in line and continue on to channeling the gathered chi. As before, he would need to compress this chakra and lodge it into his fingers, the brushes he'd use to draw upon the unconscious bandit he'd knocked out nearby. In order to successfully draw a seal with his fingers, the chakra in each of them would have to be controlled and balanced.

Closing his eyes as he amplified his focus, the Akegarasu would shiver when the chakra ran up through his ribs and lungs, bursting the insides of each shoulder with warmth before sweeping into his arms. They would then hit the dead end that were his hands, and the limbs in question would tremble and shake with the energy's raw power. He couldn't help but crack a toothy smile when he felt its presence there, trying his best to control his hands as the chakra made them feel heavier. Sucking in a deep breath of air, and simultaneously draining the chakra he'd gathered bit by bit, the half-masked ninja would focus on his next objective. With his exhale, the chakra within each hand would begin to modify itself and regulate its overall presence with Atlas' thoughts. It took upon his mental cues and executed them, allowing itself to have some of its energy drained back to its source, so that it would become a better fit for each respective hand.

Then, with the chi in each hand at its ideal level of power, the Cloud ninja would move on to spreading it evenly throughout. His hands had refrained from trembling now, his nerves completely gone. All he had to do now was focus and gauge when the time was ripe to amplify the chakra he'd stored. Blinking his eyes, and simultaneously switching on his abilities as a sensor, the Akegarasu would stare at his hands and the glow of chakra that surrounded them. Unlike chakra that was unstable and poorly obtained, the chakra surrounding his hands lacked ripples in their presence, and were as bright as they should be. Both energies were balanced in unity with one another, prepared for use. And it was then that the ninja knew it was time to execute the next phase in his training.

Shutting his eyes once more to achieve ultimate nirvana, or at least what he perceived it to be during training exercises, Atlas would begin to channel the balanced energy around his hands into each finger, particularly singling out those limbs for enhancement. Through his sensor vision, he could see the presence of the energy he'd gathered there glowing stronger on each finger. Each digit, however, after prolonged exposure with the chakra, began to grow stiff- the muscles in them reacting to the power that had recently flared. The Akegarasu would curse, and commence to curl and uncurl the fingers on each hand to relieve the tension in the muscles and hopefully open up the chakra veins located there. The glow of chakra he'd seen earlier, which had been glowing violently last he saw it, was now dimming down to an appropriate level of power.

His fingers thrummed with their newly gained enhancements, and the half-masked ninja knew it was time to put them to work. Like the seal he'd prepared beforehand, these fingers would aid him in drawing out the symbols he intended to draw, but differed in the chakra he'd been using before. This chakra was offensive, instead of defensive, and would be used to block off the usage of chi in another body, which in this case would be the bandit Atlas had knocked out just earlier. Sauntering over to the unconscious body, Atlas would angle himself behind the man's shiny bald head and get to work. This wasn't the best canvas to practice seals on, but the only way to know if his chakra restricting technique had worked was to try it out on an actual person. And he seemed to lack the appropriate clones to try and perform the same thing on them, it seemed.

He would use his left hand first this time, lifting it up as his right hung loosely by his side. Curling all the other fingers back into his palm, the Cloud ninja would leave the index pointed forwards and erect. This would serve as his drawing finger- the brush he'd use to complete each symbol required for the Five Elements Seal. Leaning slightly forwards to get a good angle on the bandit's bald head, the Akegarasu would begin to meticulously draw out the symbol like a devoted tattoo artist. He paid attention to ever little detail with the first symbol he'd draw- the kanji for fire, one of the five elements included. This symbol, he'd position on the man's front temple, the head point of what would become a circle around the man's bald head. Needless to say, the kanji for fire was one of the easier ones to draw, and it took the Cloud ninja less than a few seconds to complete it.

Smiling at the sight of the glowing blue chakra residue he could see, Atlas would form out the symbol he'd just drawn, and continue with his left index finger as he drew a circle around it. With that one done, and four more to go, he would continue on to the element of water, beginning his outlines on its kanji on the bottom most part of the bandit's head. The tip of his finger would make contact with the skin on the man's head lightly, reverberating a sense of disturbance within the Akegarasu, but only momentarily. He was still utilizing all the focus he had at his disposal to keep his energy in line and submit it into doing his will. With a soft inhale of cold air, Atlas would begin the first strokes that would form the kanji for water, but doing so cautiously and with great detail. There wasn't an eraser on his finger, as far as he knew, and if he screwed up, then he would probably have to start all over again.

The kanji for water was a bit more difficult for him than the one for fire was, but Atlas nonetheless had completed it successfully and was prepared to move on to the next symbol- the kanji for wind. This particular kanji was a bit tricky than the others, and he would position it just to the right of the man's head, so that it and the other symbols would form a sideways triangle when he was done. He could feel the energy in his hand dimming now, since he had used it twice already with great intent, and knew he had to integrate more of his own energy to continue on with the endeavor. Any faults in his strategy could risk his success with the technique and botch the whole thing. So he would have to prepare himself accordingly, so all the chances he had on completing this technique here and now were present and accounted for.

Breathing in and out, envisioning and comparing his respiratory system to the calm waves on a sandy beach- flowing out, pausing, and flowing back in- the half-masked ninja would draw energy from his core once more and breath it into his hands. The act amplified and pumped up the sealing energy required once more, and the warm feeling in his arms glowed intensely. He'd just reloaded his hands, and was prepared to move on to drawing the symbol he'd designated earlier. Firmly placing the index finger on his left hand on the surface of the bandit's head, he would commence to practice the art. One stroke after the other, light and swift actions, were performed, with the tip of his finger only grazing the surface as he did so. Within a few seconds, he'd finish the seal for wind and drawn a circle around it, as he had done so with the water kanji and the fire one as well.

Getting quite the hang of this, the Akegarasu would sport a confident grin and move a little faster. First with the kanji for earth on the left side of the man's head, then with the kanji for lightning- on the center of the man's head. In each one, he would pick up the pace a notch, until he was moving at an insane speed halfway through the lightning seal. Unfortunately for him, the speed was too great, and he had unintentionally slipped his finger and screwed the entire effort. The seal for lightning was botched and unusable, and Atlas would mutter a string of curse words as he looked upon it, clenching his right hand and damning his arrogance. But then an idea came to mind. Gazing upon the screwed up kanji for lightning that he'd drawn with chakra, he would drift his left hand over the mess and focus, amplifying the chakra within said limb and trying to force it to adhere to his command.

A tingle would emerge from said hand, and when he felt it was right, he would lift it up away from the man's head and look down upon the area where the kanji for lightning had once been. To his glee, and surprise, it was no longer there! Raising his chakra-enhanced right hand once more, he would smile as he continued on. This time, however, he took the slow route, and really focused on improving his skills with drawing symbols with chakra. Lightly biting his lip as he focused, the Akegarasu would finish up the seal at last and top-off the last stroke with a beaming expression on his face. Encircling the final seal, he wouldn't hesitate to place his right palm over the man's head and unlock power that the seal had contained. Hoping its intended effect had taken place, with the low concussion of released chakra vibrating through the air, all the Akegarasu could do now was hope it had worked.

Her frail figure almost seemed to dance around the piles of snow that collected around the place from the constant plowing through that occured by the people who suddeny seemed to populate the area. One could believe that she would easily catch a cold in this weather due to her appearance but she was very much the fighter, despite her own health complications at times. And what did a fighter do? Learn. Feeding her mind with knowledge was the best that she could do before the exams, and with so many Kumo shinobi in Iron country at the moment, she hoped that she could perhaps learn a thing or two whilst she was here. Making her way around the place she found it pretty neat to try out her newly trained sensor skills-

She had now furthered her eyes so much that she was now able to actually see the chakra signs without actually closing her eyes- It was strange, but after having used it over the past day or so, it soon become second nature to her, and, taking a quiet stroll through the bleak, white nothingness of Iron country, she would be quite surprised as her sixth sense as so to say, had picked up a chakra signal- And quite a powerful one at that- Just who was this guy?! ”…….!” she’d near the figure just so that she’d now be behind one of the evergreen trees that grew in the area, as she’d study what he had been doing for a few moments, not interrupting his training, but simply.. watching as he did so. She’d seen this guy before..

..Yeah! That was right, he was at the registration office- She was pretty sure that she had heard a name, too- Something to do with a book.. One of those things you keep maps and diagrams of places in.. erm.. Atlanta.. No.. Atlas? Something like that. But he was from Kumo right? And he seemed pretty good at being a shinobi! Or at least, his chakra signal proved to be greater than anyone she had seen already, which was quite impressive! Slowly making her way from the tree and openly making her way towards him, she would, once she had figured he had ceased to train, make herself visible to him, her red coat protecting her from the chill of the land that got to the core of those without such protection.

”Hey- Hey, sir!
Do you mind teaching me some stuff? You seem pretty powerful! Do you mind teaching me a few things before the next round starts? I need to learn some more raiton techniques.”

It was pretty plain to see that she was a confident young lass just- She hoped that he at least knew a few things to do with raiton- She had met a few with in the past but, she also knew that many couldn’t use that element. But, raiton seemed pretty common in her village, so chances were he might know it, right? Upon closer inspection, the guy looked more like a pirate, which only increased the newly found respect she had for him- But- Would he accept her training? Despite his cool appearance and his large power source, if he declined, he would perhaps be victim to a lifetime’s amount of dirty looks from her!

What would he chose?!

Dark green optics would brighten at the sight of the bandit suddenly waking up, groaning in his daze and blinking his eyes endlessly. The poor fella seemed to have forgotten that Atlas had knocked him unconscious only minutes before, and was unaware of the seal that had been placed on the surface of his bald head. But as he picked himself up from the ground, and turned to the Akegarasu sitting aloof behind him, realization streaked across his face like lightning. Fear took over his eyes, nonsensical mutterings escaped his lips. He had obviously remembered who this elegantly dressed individual was- the theft that had gone completely wrong. Barely managing to squeal off a yelp in all of his panic, the bandit would pivot around and run off into the snowy woodlands beyond.

The half-masked ninja would chuckle at the sight, rubbing the back of his neck as his sensor vision analyzed the man's chakra flow. Passages seemed to have been blocked, as the glow around the man had weakened- which meant that his Five Element Seal had been a complete success. Smirking with the triumph, Atlas would leap up onto his feet and wipe the snow off the backside of his black jeans. Then, suddenly, a presence nearby. Hidden to his sensor vision, strangely enough, but presenting itself in clear sight nonetheless. A samurai, perhaps? He would wonder, suddenly reminding himself that he was in their territory.

But as he turned to face the individual, expecting a battle-scarred veteran clad in armor, he was star-struck to find a young woman standing there, dressed casually in a red coat amongst the snowy backdrop behind her. Ruby red eyes glanced at him from a veil of dark green hair as she rambled on about learning raiton techniques, and training before the next round of the exams. A sense of confidence stemmed from her words, followed by an inquisitive stare. The Akegarasu would give the girl a quick once over with his eyes, noticing the Cloud headband tied around her bicep and admiring the red cape she had draped around her frame. With a warm grin, he'd respond, pocketing his hands in response to a frigid breeze that swept by, carrying with it the smell of pine.

"Why not? Anything for a charming young lady from Kumogakure. And I just happen to be quite proficient in lightning ninjutsu, actually. Just tell me what you'd like to learn." His declaration would be followed by him raising his right hand, igniting a series of short blue sparks on its surface. It was all in accordance with the preparation for his favorite raiton technique- the Sutangan no Jutsu. The Limb Stunning Technique. "My name is Atlas." He'd continue, lowering his hand and smiling. "And you are... ?"

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Watching as something would speed off in to the distance in a snowy rut, she would stay a little distance away from the man- Of course, she was approaching a total stranger, so she could but hope that he hadn’t had a van nearby and a considerable amount of candy to lure her in to it. As she awaited a response it would take a little while before he would then notice her prescenece, his pose changing a little bit. ”………” Once more there would be another short break of silence as both parties seemed to examine each other- Yeah, he sure was the epitome of the word pirate himself- Maybe he had a ship? That would be pretty neat. Maybe she’d suggest it later on.

"Why not? Anything for a charming young lady from Kumogakure.”

And then- the giant would finally begin to speak, saying the words that she long anticipated to hear. So he’d train her? That’d be great! Grinning widely to him as he spoke of this she would then bow her head quite politely to him as a slight thank you, before her crimson eyes met his own emerald hues. She did find it strange how in Kumogakure, people didn’t always speak to each other but, they were always happy to help- Or, most of the people that she had met were like this anyhow- Others? She wasn’t too sure. There were probably a few old cranks there that kept to themselves at all times. ”…Thank you!” she’d tell him, glad that she had stumbled upon the man- Hopefully, she would learn quite well from this!

”..Really? I know a few techniques but not all that much- I’d be very happy to learn anything that you are willing to teach, sir!” of course, the form that she had refered to him- Sir, it was because, truly, she knew that he was of higher rank than she was, even if he was trying to become a chuunin as she was- He had an interesting chakra source, and he was no doubt some kind of pool of knowledge, according to his words and from her assumptions. ”…….” The green haired girl then basking in silence once more she would watch as he’d seem to utilize a technique that he could do, as his hand would rise, releasing a plethora of blue sparks- That was interesting! Would she be learning this today? The girl, shifting from side to side as the chill got to her a little, would keep watching the man as the technique would unveil itself-

-And so would his name. Altas? That was it, so she was right. ”I’m Areru Sansutsomu. Its nice to meet you.” she would tell him in her usual cool and collected tone, unsure of sticking her hand out for him to shake it due to the fact that at the moment his hand was spouting what she’d figure was raiton chakra. ”..What’s that technique?” she would inquire in a curious tone, her eyes now not looking at his eyes, but his hand, where they had been resting for a good few moments now, interested in the power that this man has, and the power that he would transfer to her by training her- Sansutsomu legend, here she comes! A goal it was, and quite far one at that, but everyone has a dream.
