Powder snow [T][Hirihi]

[Apple]

She had gotten pretty used to the place by now.
Although it was a fact that apart from the pieces of her clothing that were while moulded in with the snow in the background, it was her hair which was the most contrasting thing that stood out the most. In all it’s platinum blonde glory the curls entwined within it would bounce up and down with each step that she took. It was through grand care that she washed her hair, to assure that it looked as fabulous as always. Greasy hair was always a no-no, and each curl, despite her hair being natural, colour and all, having not been touched by straighteners or anything similar, each curl had to quite defined. Her gloved hand rising and flicking her hair to the side once more, she’d soon stop her walking, and would arrive at some kind of clearing.

So- She was here to train, but what exactly was she going to learn? With so many possibilities open, medical, suiton, souin.. there were quite a few options but she wasn’t sure as of yet, so, standing in her place like some kind of statuesque goddess, her mind would rally through the different things she could go through. Sure enough she needed to up her game when it came to medical techniques, and she had recently learned how to become better at souin, suiton.. She wasn’t too keen on at the moment, so she’d probably end up learning medical techniques. But how- Of course she could remember a few things from back home when she had studied techniques but not learned them, but there were so many available to choose from.

With a small breeze flowing through the area, although minor, it brought cold in its wake, but, it hadn’t effected her too badly, she was fine. She was more concerned on her training regime that she needed to pick up in order to truly become the best medic, but right now she was a little bit clueless on what to do. It wasn’t as if this land practically seeped all of her creativity from her, no. The snow covering the trees and the icicles hanging from the branches were quite inspiring, it’s just.. She had learned so much lately that she wasn’t sure what was left. But it was no true bother to her as she was sure that she would find something. After all, she was fucking awesome, amirite?

”…….”

Quite a useful rock being nearby, it being of both good size and seemed quite smooth- Good enough to sit on- she would then, with one sleek movement of her hand, rid it of the snow that had covered the top of it, so that she could sit upon it and ponder. As her bottom met with the rock, her leg would then rise and cross over the other, her elbow on her knee, and her hand on her chin, as she developed a kind of thinking position, her eyes gazing blankly at the snow that continued to fall elsewhere in this strange, new land. Just what would she do? All in all- Right now was a strange time for her- She seemed at least peaceful from what she looked like at the moment.

Angels pray that she would keep this up.

[Hirihi]

.:Enter:.

Wandering through the snow, passing the time between rounds at the exams, Hirihi was curious as to who else could be wandering the grounds there. The pink haired medic was not a difficult thing to spot from so far off in the snow. It was almost a wonder that she was even out in the weather. Since she had taken that test in the first round, she had developed a horrible cough. It acted up now and again, but she had managed to keep it under control for the most part. Clearing her throat, Hirihi wandered down the path until she found someone sitting upon a rock along the snowy trail.

The snow above would continue to fall, rendering no thought of an end to the flurries of snow above. Just like the endless blue sky, she was greeted with the endless sight of white falling down in large flakes around her face and towards the ground. Sighing, the pink haired medic turned her gaze back to the stranger that she saw sitting upon the rock. Feeling confident, being that no one so far had bothered her in any kind of a harmful way, Hirihi felt safe to approach the stranger without fear of being attacked. It was definitely something that her father would advise against, the stubborn old man dead set on believing the worst in the world.

Walking up to the person, unsure if it was a shinobi or not, the first thing that Hirihi would notice is that it was a girl. Someone she hadn't met before. It didn't even look like someone that she knew in the exams. She had met a few of them, and now she was curious as to whether she was a spectator, or if she was someone that was judging the exams and was taking a break. Approaching at a faster pace, attempting to shake her nerves, Hirihi stood beside the female and smiled at her as she sat upon her comfy looking rock. "Hi there." Hirihi said, her voice almost seeming to get lost in the bitter winds that blew the snow crudely around.

"My name is Hirihi." She said, her voice in the back of her head saying that this was a horrible idea beginning to die down. The more she fought the voice, the easier she found it was to ignore it. "Are you here to watch the exams when they get to the last round?" Hirihi asked, curious to see if maybe this was one of her combatants she might have to face at the end of the 2nd round of the exams that were coming up. One only could know if they asked, right?

[Apple]

Soon it would be made perfectly clear that she was not alone as she sat upon the rock, the snow falling down gently atop anything that lay beneath the sky of Tetsu no Kuni. As the sound of footsteps crunching in the freshly fallen snow would become apparent, Blanche’s form would stay unmoving until the footsteps grew nearer and nearer, as her head would then turn to the side and look back at whatever was planning to come up to her- ”….Oh.” A slight sound of apathetic wording would be spoken from her as she would look at the figure- Definitley a female, of pink hair and quite interesting genetics from what she could tell. Red eyes and pink hair? Now that was something. With her own stereotypical looks of platinum blonde hair and blue eyes looking back at the female, she would await to see what she wanted.

It wasn’t as if she was trying to be rude- She just wasn’t used to being approached really, although she saw no reason why. Being the medic extraordinaire that she was she figured that people all around the globe had heard of her- Blanche, the beautiful medic who’s splendour matched her skill. But of course there was no saying that this girl was a medic or not, but it was interesting to see her approach her in such a manner. Speech would soon become apparent as the tone of her voice would be remembered by the blonde- She had introduced herself first, and from further examination, she did seem quite young- At least 14- or 15, somewhere around that age. Oh- She could but remember when she was like that- So young and carefree..

”My name is Blanche.”

As this was said, one would ponder as to if it was her real name or not- It was strangely foreign and really, it sounded like more of a nickname or a alias than anything- But she had been born with it, and anyone who believed otherwise was quick to be punched in the gut. It meant white, something pure and good, and although as like now, she was in a lovely mood, at other times her name clashed horrendously with her name. But names were no matter- Although, this girl was known as Hirihi, she’d note this down mentally, as the girl would ask her a question, pondering why she was in this country.

”No- I’m here on business, although I had heard that the exams were occurring here at this point- I’m assuming you’re here to compete, then?” of course, this was only an assumption. She was no doubt of competing age- Anyone could join really as long as they already bore the title of genin- and with the exams happening at the moment and her knowing so well about what was going on, she assumed that was the truth, placing bits and pieces together. However, having quite a meek frame she didn’t seem to bear any signs of being a samurai either as they were mostly known for their weapon-using skills and with their brawn- This girl, had slim to none. So- Her final deduction- She was a genin from- her blue eyes, gazing at the plate upon her forehead- Kumogakure, and she was here to compete for the exams.

Sometimes, her genius amazed even herself.
”You are- I can tell- But you wouldn’t be a medic now, would you?” this having been asked, she’d await for a reply, wondering- If she was, she would be keen on teaching her a thing or two- She was in a fine mood, and she might use it to her extent right now rather than let it waste away. She’d profit from this training too from the whole experience of teaching others.

But the question still waited for an answer..

..Was she a medic..?

[/blockquote]

[Hirihi]

Hirihi could detect a sense of the female having somewhat of a negative reaction towards Hirihi approaching her. Hirihi could understand that. It was unusual to be approached so forwardly as she had done. If Hirihi hadn't done that, though, she would've wandered a big circle around the girl and gone right back to her room at the HQ. It was better to put someone on the spot than to let them fiddle around in their mind alone. That was Hirihi's experience, though. It took the girl a moment to respond to Hirihi, but from what she could see, the girl was putting together some basic facts of who she was, trying to pin some basic details to either verify her trust, or verify her identity.

When her name came rolling over her lips, Hirihi felt a little bit relieved. So, they wouldn't start out this conversation on a bad foot. Then, more of the information that the girl had gathered would begin to spill forth. From just a two second introduction, and a ten second question, Hirihi had given her all the key bits of information that she had needed to form an opinion of her. This girl was very intuitive. Hirihi would have to definitely be careful what she was telling people from now on. That way, she could learn to control the information that she was sharing with them.

At the question of whether or not she was a medic, Hirihi nodded her head. "Yes, I am a medic." Hirihi said, raising a pale hand in the snow that was falling and producing a glow of green aura from the most basic of techniques. The Mystical Hands. Letting the chakra dissipate, Hirihi let her hand fall back to her side as she turned her head in curiosity. Coughing a bit, a closed fist over her lips as she tried to keep from being rude, Hirihi cleared her throat. "Are you a medic as well?" Hirihi asked, curious to know whether or not she was interested in teaching her anything she might know.

It could be definitely helpful for her to learn from her rather than learning on her own. The girl seemed experienced. She also seemed well taught in a lot of things other than just being a medic. Who knows? Maybe Hirihi could help teach her something that she might not know. There was an endless list of possibilities there, too, for Hirihi to make yet another connection with someone in another area of the world. She had her connections in Kumogakure, but it would benefit her to keep moving, expanding where she could go in case she needed an allies' help.

[Apple]

As the girl soon answered her question after a short period of silence, Blanche would then rise from her seated position in the same elegant manner that she had seated upon it to start off with, and would then turn towards the girl, her height being quite different to the miniscule one that Hirihi stood at, she howering over her quite greatly- The girl would have to look up to speak to her, but that wasn’t Blanche’s problem. If she wanted to be taught by this pro, she’d have to make sacrifies- And having a sore neck from looking up for so long would be one of them. A smug smile being drawn upon her lips she would then close her eyes for a few moments as she would speak to her, her head now not looking towards Hirihi, but towards the air elsewhere, or somewhere else, skimming past the pink haired girl.

”A medic I am. And it’s just your luck that I’m in a good mood today.” she would tell her truthfully- If she had been in a bad one, curses would be spilling from her mouth like spit itself and she’d be keen on ridding the girl from the area that she was standing in. However- The fact that she was young also seemed to help. She had always been slightly nicer to youngsters due to her motherly trait, and this was a keen example of what she could become when being like that. In comparison to her usual angry personality, this was.. different. But, luckily for Hirihi, she didn’t know the other side of her!

So, her eyes opening once more and looking at the girl, the blue of her eyes being somewhat striking to compare with the black iris that lay in the middle of them, she would prepare to suggest what she had in mind for the both of them. Blanche would then watch as the girl would flow chakra to her hands in the style of healing hands, and initiate the technique that she knew so well. In fact, she knew it better than her- So this could be a starting point, right? With her right hand rising and placing itself under her chin, she would then speak the offer; ”Now- From the technique that you just used I can tell that you need a few more rounds of training until you can perfect it.” she would say- The glow on hers hadn’t matched the one that she could create, and Blanche knew that.

”However, I’d be more than happy to teach you the next rank up. It won’t be easy and it will require patience- Are you up for learning this?” she would ask as she herself would then remove her right hand slowly from her chin and would then hold her hand towards the girl, as if she was displaying some invisible item in her hand, with her palm up. Chakra then surged through her very fingers as it glowed strongly with the familiar blaze of Healing hands, it being much more intense than the one that Hirihi had just used. But would she be interested in learning it? She wouldn’t go against her if she chose not to of course, but, it would be nice to teach her something. Seeing as she was partaking in the exams, who knows? It might become handy later on.

[Hirihi]

It had been a remarkably stupid question to ask if the girl had been a medic. She had to be to ask something like that, right? Regardless, Hirihi would watch her quietly as she would seem to be in thought only a moment longer. Then, intimidation would begin to filter over Hirihi as she would see the woman standing and putting her more in her place. She was remarkably taller than herself. It was almost as if she were a giant in comparison. Hirihi had to crane her neck up a bit to look into the girl's eyes and give her the respect that she rightly deserved. From the little display that she had given, Hirihi had inherently given the two a basis on which to start training on.

When the proposition of what she was going to be learning came up, Hirihi knew that this was going to take a fair amount of time. The technique that she had used before, Mystical Hands, was something that was remarkably simple to start with that grew more complex as time went by. She had trained the technique for weeks and was still having some problems perfecting it. She knew there was something about it that was not matching the quality that you would see within most facets of the technique. She had even seen it among some of the more experienced medics. It just... looked different when they did it.

Hirihi would see this first hand on what she had been trying to explain to herself. When she held up her hand, holding it out with her palm flat, the chakra that would envelop the palmof her hand would look frighteningly powerful. If it weren't for the fact that she were paralyzed with awe, Hirihi might have reached out and touched the chakra that she had produced in the palm of her hand. Of course, that was not something that she wished to do. To upset her teacher within the first few minutes of meeting, losing the ability to work with this obviously experienced medic, Hirihi knew that it wouldn't do her any good.

"I have plenty of time. I could definitely benefit from learning something like that from you. You seem, well... very well taught. I think it is safe to say that you would easily put me in my place if I were to face off with you in any kind of competition." Hirihi said, attempting to play to the woman's ego for a moment to get a bit more out of her. Maybe she would teach her more than just that. Maybe there was something further beneath just the training she could garner?

[Apple]

As the glow which covered her hand would reach its most powerful and then.. simmer down gently so that the black of her glove soon revealed it’s normal colour without the green glow attached to it, she would look over at Hirhi who seemed to have quite an awestruck look to her face, which, once more, created a smug smile on her face of the older medic. "That's right." It was with this skill that she hoped to impress others and hopefully make her mark on other villages as the true queen of this art. Of course, this girl, she was quite good, but.. There was no competition to this blonde bombshell! Her hands lowering once more she would listen as she would speak, both complimenting her, and requesting that she learn the technique. She didn’t care if it was just to suck up to her, it felt good to be complimented so.

”Open your palm in front of me, Hirihi.”

As this was said she would take a few steps closer to the girl so that the two faced each other, as Blanch would then draw her eyes to her hands, where she would soon hope to see the same glow that she had used before be re-summoned for the sake of her learning the next level of technique. She would await for this to happen as she would then turn her gaze towards Hirhi herself. After she was to do this, the next command would be; ”Show me the rank of the technique that you know already. Don’t try to alter it in any way- Use it to the extent that you can use at the moment.” her baby blue eyes now turning back to her hands. So, teaching wasn’t exactly her thing really but, it would be nice to do some good today, right? This land was meant to be a very peaceful one anyhow, so she’d better fit the part.

But would the girl be able to learn such a technique? No doubt she was a medic, and she could probably also use some other neat medical techniques- From what she could tell with the technique that Hirhi had past used, her chakra control was very good, like hers, but this technique seemed to fail her as her exquisite ability to manipulate chakra in such a way hadn’t managed to help her perfect the technique that all medics were known for having. Her version was more powerful than Hirhi’s, but she hoped that by the end of this training session, she too would be able to use the A-Ranked version to her wishing. The healing hands technique was a basis for all medical shinobi, and to fully master it- It was something that Blanche craved to do.

But now- Going back to looking at her as the training would start. Blanche would ask a question herself; ”Now- In exchange for me teaching you this and perhaps a few more also, you would mind teaching me a few medical techniques that you might know?” it was equal exchange. If she taught her something, then she should receive at least some kind of technique in return, although she wasn’t demanding it- She would prefer it yes, but she wasn’t going to chain her up and force her to teach her whatever medical techniques Blanche did not yet possess- But it was fair, and she would probably request to learn these later on in time after she had taught Hirhi herself. The girl was the priority right now, and hopefully, by learning this new rank of technique, it would shape her in to being a better medical ninja.

[Hirihi]

As the compliments would so as she intended, Hirihi would wait patiently for her to give some kind of an order. If she was truly going to teach her, which is how things were seeming to be, then Hirihi would just need to follow her instructions to the letter and be done with it as soon as she could possibly manage. One particular reason that this was important was that this would give her the appearance of obedience. Not that she was a rebellious little thing that liked to cause a ruckus. No, her father was good enough at that as it was. This was all just to seem more pleasing to the woman. It was slightly manipulative, and Hirihi felt the twinge of her conscience in the back of her mind, but if the woman was getting everything she wanted out of the conversation and the interaction, what harm was there in pretending to be a little bit more subordinate than usual?

When the first command would pass her lips, Hirihi keeping her eyes locked onto the baby blue of her teacher's, Hirihi would follow it just as she stated it. Holding out her hand, doing it just as Blanche had done before with her own hand, Hirihi would wait quietly and watch as snow would begin to collect into her open palm. Being asked to recreate the technique that she was told to do, Hirihi nodded and focused her chakra into her hand. Though it was not as magnificent a feat as the one that she had performed herself, creating a very visually pleasing display of the Mystical Hands technique, Hirihi's was one that was not to be looked down upon. it could do some serious healing when it needed to!

As she would maintain the technique, just as she had done it before with no alterations in the slightest, Hirihi would attempt to keep her mind focused between the two tasks. Talking to her and keeping her chakra from being disrupted in her hand. "If there is a technique that I know that you don't, I'd be glad to share it with you." Hirihi said, smiling at her and turning her attention back to the open palm. In he rhand, she now had a pool of chakra developing and waiting for Blanche to either give her a thumbs up or a thumbs down. However she went with this, this would be the basis for how their training would go.

As her hand held the green glow of chakra, an ominous humming from the focusing of her chakra in such a manner, Hirihi would wonder what else was going through Blanche's mind? Why were they out in the freezing cold? What was the point in coming out there when there was nothing more than just a winter wonderland waiting to swallow them whole and never spit them back out? Hirihi was gradually adjusting to the cold without so much chattering of her teeth. She still had that damned cough, but she kept her focus on the chakra in her hand, covering her mouth with her hand and attempting to hold it back after a second of the coughing fit.

[Apple]

Her own hands would then drop back down to her hips where they were usually found, on either side which framed her small waist and bounteous hourglass figure as her eyes would keep watching Hirhi as she soon began to utilize the technique. The best thing she found about the majority of medical techniques was the abundance of handseals that needed to be performed. You could just send your chakra to your hands and go, really, which made it very useful in situations where you perhaps couldn’t use handseals should your hands be tied up, or if you needed to get things done quickly. It was a sad thing that other techniques didn’t base upon this chakra-system.

But, there was no point complaining about it as it had been a system that was set in place who knows how many years ago, hundreds.. thousands perhaps. But the interesting thing was that each shinobi still had the ability to mould chakra- or, most of them at least- and this hadn’t changed for years and years, from generation to generation. Although techniques had adapted, the fundamentals of performing techniques had stayed the same, and Blanche found that quite interesting. With her eyes guiding over the girl’s fingers, she would nod her head, watching as the light seemed to.. quiver slightly.

She probably found it hard managing different things- Like rubbing your stomach and tapping your head at the same time, to put it in the most basic of senses. Multitasking was Blanche’s speciality, even when it came to techniques- To be a great medic, you both needed to be a people person, which Blanche was rarely, and you needed the skill to back that up. Noticing her struggling, the blonde would speak once more. ”Speak to me at the same time as you train. You’ll soon get used to doing the two at the same time. I might be distracting you right now but if you’re on the battlefield healing someone and explosions and shouts are around you, you need to stay focused on your primary goal- Healing the patient. Letting your power falter because you’re trying to concentrate on more than one thing at a time has no excuse.”

Was this a lecture of sorts? It was, a bit. But, she said it in a firm, yet also quite an understanding tone as she herself had been at the same stage as her when she was her age, back in a time where every medical technique was a mystery to her. However where she had been taught medical techniques in the past, now was the time for her to adopt the title of teacher, and, looking down once more on the pink haired girl, she would study her hands for a few moments. ”It’s a bit uneven with you from what I can tell- Stop the technique and try again, but this time, slowly try it. Flood your hands with chakra but try to get it to develop a weightless kind of aspect. It’s only then that you’ll be able to utilize it as quickly and as strong as I can.” Sure enough people would think that this was some kind of ego that she had going on.

No, not really.
She did have an ego, but that’s right. But after moving so far and her life having taken twists and turns, she had become her own ego. Her ego, had an ego, if that makes sense. She was.. unique to say the least.

[Hirihi]

Hirihi would maintain the technique while she watched Blanche for some kind of cue or a sign that she was either doing something right or she was doing something wrong. It looked perfectly fine to her. Weeks and weeks of training, doing the same rudimentary chakra channeling, and she still had the exact same look in her hand when she were to channel chakra to her hand for this technique. If there was something more that could be done with such a technique, it would be something that Hirihi was obviously missing. She would remain ever-patient, though, as she would hope that her new teacher would give her whatever information she needed to fix herself in the technique.

The first thing that was brought to criticism was her ability to focus between doing multiple tasks and healing. It was true, trying to focus on something like this was not going to be that easy. Why? Because, she was used to being able to think. She wasn't battle trained, nor was she trained to do much of anything well when it came to fighting. hell, Diago was the first person to ever even try to teach her to multitask. She had been doing it so well, too, but there had to come an end to that the day that he left. There was no telling where he went, but there was definitely a void left behind by the big jerk.

Nodding her head as she was told to speak, Hirihi would clear her throat and look up at Blanche when she was curious about whether she was to remain quiet or speak. "I don't know particularly what we're working on, but this is something I'm glad that I'm not doing alone. I don't see the difference between training it like this, and training it how I normally do." She said, Blanche giving her another order as she let the chakra dissipate in her hand.

Listening carefully to the instructions that she had been given, Hirihi summoned the chakra to her hand, and began to chant a quiet little phrase to herself as she tried to remember exactly what she had been asked to do. "Slow, flooding, weightless." She would say to herself, watching the chakra and letting the chakra pool in her hand just as it had before, but with a certain different in how it was forming. It wasn't a big noticeable difference, but it was something that was definitely different from what she had been doing. This was a good sign. The chakra would continue to fill her hand until it made a glove around it as it did when she used it before. This time, though, it would be slightly different. Hirihi didn't know how exactly to make the chakra weightless, but she did her best to try and please.

[Apple]

It would further seem as if the girl hadn’t known exactly the difference between training it Blanche’s own way, and then the way that she seemed to adopt the technique. Of course, her own way was all well and good at the level it was at but, she no doubt hadn’t been through too much during the war that had just passed. Blanche had, and although she primarily worked as a medic within hospitals, she too was trained to be a field medic, someone who had to take notice of their surroundings and take in what was happening and what people were saying as well as focusing on healing or fixing up whoever they were in charge of healing, in case a technique was about to go their way, they needed to keep a keen eye out for any danger, and Blanche had all of these skills.

Hardcore was an understatement.

”I’m assuming you’ve trained in silence or at least with minimal distraction in the past, so you’ve had not much to blank out whilst training. I know that you might not be need this for years to come, but just in case you are in a war-like situation, managing your concentration between more than one think to assure both your safety and your patients safety is key. Upon gaining this quality, you will both should have perfect control over your technique.
Nothing will stop you.” this having been said in her usual fixed, authorative tone of voice, she’d watch as the technique Hirhi had formed then left her hand, to start again soon.

And then- The girl would murmur to herself quietly. Of course, this was good since it made her multitask by speaking and working on her technique at the same time. Quite an interesting combination it was but after you got used to it, it become as easy as doing anything else day-to-day. Watching as her student would go forwards and attempt to perform the healing hands technique once more with the suggestions that she had given her, Blanche would but stare at her hand as she’d anticipate seeing the green glow envelop it as it had with her own hand. Would this girl be able to do it? She was unsure as of now but no doubt she had the potential to do it, she was sure of that.

And then- ”I’m asking you to train it slowly first so then you can build up speed as you go on. I usually use the technique in a sharp burst of chakra but once you get used to manipulating the chakra itself in your hand, then you can work on speed.” she would tell her with a nod. ”You’re doing well. Keep at it. I usually find that, the stronger the light is, the stronger the technique.” with this hint having been given to her she’d sit back down on the rock she had been on, her tall heels burrowing in the snow as she’d do so. It was evident that the pink girl was cold but- She was sure that she could do it before keeling over from the snow.

[Hirihi]

While she continued to channel the chakra into her hand, keeping her mind chanting the little mantra as she looked to Blanche, she listened quietly to her explanation on war and how there would not be total silence when she had to perform the technique in the art of saving someone. SHe had made the rationale in her head that she would be able to produce the technique as she needed it at a later time without worry. It was just getting the basics down and training her body to remember how to do it. Diago had taught her, though, that there was no better way to train a technique than to use it while in the heat of a battle.

She still had nightmares about snakes being that she was buried beneath the large pile of them. The glow from the chakra in her hand would be the same color as before, with just a slight twinge of difference. The chakra was definitely a brighter green than before doing it the way that she had asked. Turning her head to look at Blanche, keeping up with the idea of multitasking, Hirihi wondered a bit about her teacher. How long had she been training this? She had mentioned the war before, but it was something that she had been sheltered from. Her father had done a good job of keeping her secluded from the world so taht she wouldn't end up like her mother, supposedly.

"So, how long have you been a medic? You mentioned the war before, so I am curious." She said, the talking making the chakra flicker a bit with her words. The flickering would seem to slowly die down as she got used to the speaking and performing the technique. Letting the chakra dissipate, she returned her attention to Blanche. "I'll keep trying." She said, keeping her hand out as she began to pool the chakra just as she had said to do. The same mantra would flow from her mouth, using her words to help her focus and slowly ease her into the art of multitasking.

This time, as she would produce the same technique, the chakra would definitely begin to be a tad bit brighter, the chakra more evenly distributed over her hand as she tried to keep the technique maintained at the somewhat greater quality. Her teeth were beginning to chatter in the cold, her coughing picking up once more from before. Even though she was physically afflicted with the cough ,her other hand covering her mouth in a closed fist, the technique remained in her hand, her grasp on the ability to multitask becoming much more fluent to her.

Her student was learning well as it seemed. Or at least what she was saying seemed to be sticking inside her mind. Neither did she know how quickly she learned techniques nor how great she was at learning them, all she knew was that she was a decent medic, who already had the healing hands at around.. B-Rank from what she gathered at looking at the technique she had performed. Of course it was quite a big leap from B-Rank to A-Rank, so she wouldn’t be too harsh on her if she didn’t find it as easy as Blanche had when she had learned how to upgrade it first. Of course, her sudden kindness was probably not due to the fact that she was in a good mood, but because this girl represented two of the things that she liked about people. One, she was a medic, and two, she always seemed to hold in her rage when around kids- Or at least, this girl seemed to be a kid.

But compared to her, Blanche was pretty old anyway. ”Keep at it, you’re doing great.” This girl had many years in front of her, and hopefully for her, many years without the fear of war breaking out. Of course it was a constant threat to all of them but really, you couldn’t live cowering in fear of the fact that one may start at any moment. Blanche had learned how to generally live her life how she wanted to, with her being the boss, and usually, she wouldn’t be pushed around by anyone. Her dedication to the medical arts was shown quite clearly through this dedication- Being a medic gave her something to be proud of, and being able to save people’s lives made her pretty fucking proud of herself.

Not that she wasn’t. Pride was one of her favourite sins.

And, now, as she watched her try and perform the technique, she would ask her a question, conforming with the request that she should talk more whilst training to get used to it. Of course, she would be happy to reply to her as being a medic was something that she spoke freely about- She told people how much blood and guts she had seen in the past and sometimes it was enough to turn one’s stomach but, she was unfazed by the things that she had seen. ”I’ve been a medic since as far as I can remember. About.. five, perhaps?” she would tell her truthfully- At a young age her parents had ushered her to become one to try and lessen her bubbling rage. Of course this didn’t work as people can tell these days by looking at her, but it gave her a sense of pride in her work, and it gave her goals, aspirations and dreams. Having once wished to become the head medic at Kusa, these dreams were now gone, but- Still active somewhere in her mind.

Going on to look at her own hands, then looking at Hirihi’s, she would begin to speak again, words of question releasing from her full lips. ”How well do you know your technique? What’s the biggest wound that you’ve ever treated using this technique?” this having been asked, she would await her response- Just how big had she worked? Of course being a war medic she had tended to many, many a wound, but this girl was quite young, and probably hadn’t taken part in anything like that, almost sheltered, really. Of course Blanche was glad that the war had given her experience that other shinobi went without, but she had lost things others would find unbearable to lose. It had brought good things, and bad things- But what had it brought this girl in particular?

[Hirihi]

Hirihi was working her hardest to keep everything flowing through her training as smooth as possible. It was just difficult to manage given that they were in the bitter cold, her body was seeming to hurt from something she couldn't rightly understand, and she was beginning to think that she was coming down with a cold. All of it was just making her that much more distracted from what she was training. Under normal conditions, when she was in good health and not shivering in the cold, she was well able to learn something like this. Learning it, though, was not the issue. It was mastering how to balance everything together. Blanche's point was getting ever apparent, and Hirihi was taking this opportunity to use all the distractions in the world to help her learn how to multitask.

When Blanche told her more about her past, being that she was a medic from close to the age of five, Hirihi had to stop a second and look at her, letting the chakra to the technique cease as she rested her energy for just a moment. "That long, huh? That's quite a long time." Hirihi said, raising her hand once more and focusing her chakra into her hand. This time, she forced herself to move at a faster pace, the chakra pooling into her hand faster and brighter than it had before. Keeping the chakra evenly distributed, Hirihi was thinking about how long she had been considering being a medic. For her, it had started back in the ninja academy, when she was still training to be a Genin.

The question would float through the air and reach her ears, making Hirihi jog her memory as she thought it over. What had been the biggest wound that she had ever treated? It was definitely a tough question. Something that Hirihi hadn't thought about in a while. There had been the time she had treated that man with an amputated arm. He had suffered a lot of bleeding, but she hadn't used the Mystical Hands technique to do that. probably the worst she could think of was the time when she was in the hospital and she was called in to help do an emergency healing session with a group of other medics. The wounds were serious, and she had been assigned to heal the man's torso.

"It was while I was just fresh out of the ninja academy. I was asked to come help healing a man who had come back from a mission incredibly injured. He had damage to multiple areas of his torso, as well as his legs. While a medic worked to heal the ruptured veins and arteries in his legs, being that the techniques that had been used on him caused a majority of his blood veins and arteries to explode, he was barely alive. I had to use this very technique to help heal the damage to his heart first and slowly moved outward from there. It took a long time, and it was the hardest that I have ever worked as a medic. The boy was younger than me, and it was incredibly hard to focus on healing him, knowing that it could be me one day." She said, deciding that a little bit of emotion could be useful to show that she did have a caring side to her teacher.

With her ongoing role as a teacher Blanche would keep her arms crossed as she’d look down on the girl as she trained the technique. The majority of her own medical work had been back in Kusagakure- These days she had come across a few patients who had been left for dead, all of whom she had saved, but, she did miss the hustle and bustle that occurred within Kusagakure. Sure enough she didn’t wish for war to come over the world again but it was nice to have a stable job with a place that she worked. Now of course she was still a great medic- Or, the best in her own opinion- but she wasn’t chained to a certain hospital or place, so she could move her training and her work across the place as she pleased, which was good in some ways, but not so much in others. The life of a medic was quite complicated, and Hirihi probably knew that by now.

”One of my relatives was a medical shinobi so I simply learned off them for the most of my childhood.” she would explain to her- She had learned many things off that person, but now, they were probably dead knowing the destruction that fell upon Kusagakure- Her parents probably too, and her family, also gone, one having died in front of her eyes And yet over the years, a protective layer had been made around her emotions, so whilst thinking of these, her mind hadn’t budged at all. Turning her gaze from the snow that fell softly around the place back to Hirihi, her eyes would carefully trace the glow around her fingers, monitoring it. ”You need it to be more intense- Focus on it, as if it was the last thing that you would ever do. The A-ranked version of the technique is truly a marvel- You have to think of how much potential it holds.” with these words, her arms would shift from being crossed, to her right hand rubbing the side of her temple, then crossing again.

And then- She would answer the question that she had posed about the biggest wound that she had ever healed herself. It seemed like quite an interesting story but it was quite bad she found that such a young medic had to work on a patient in that state. Seeing things like that usually did effect the way people thought and viewed things, so pushing children out on to the battlefield was only going to make things worse for the nation. Luckily for Blanche, she had been one of the few assigned to stay in hospitals during her late teens. When she was a bit older however, she was assigned to the battlefield- She was old enough by then, however. ”How old were you when this happened?” she would question curiously, wondering exactly what Kumogakure did with their medical shinobi and if they had a certain age limit or something along those lines.

”The thing with being a medic is the emotional side, I’d say. Luckily for me I’m an emotionless bitch so I tend to take it much easier than others.” she would say with a smug grin- Of course there were times where she had cried and mourned strangers- But those times were years ago. Now, however, she was almost apathetic towards death- Unless it was of someone close to her. ”You have to be confident whilst using this technique. It saves lives. It lets you save lives. You can be a God when you use this technique; And gods shoudn’t be trembling before the sight of blood, guts, arteries, or even death.” of course, upon saying this one would wonder if she had some kind of God-Complex- Many who knew her probably did think that she did, but that was her way of seeing it. With such an ability, you had to take responsibility over your own emotions- Crying when you could be healing.. that was unneeded.
