Reza watched as the little red wolf ran back, the stick in mouth. She had made a perfect arching jump to catch it - just what Reza had wanted to see. They were certainly on the road to become perfect fighters. Few Inuzukas came to the point of having each other's backs while being perfectly in sync without having to even make a flick of a hand as communication. When it did happen, it was a beautiful thing; the perfect bond. The ability to practically read each others minds and act accordingly, quickly,skillfully. It would make fighting easier and less stressful knowing that one could lean on the other in time of need.

A drift in the wind carried a scent to the pair, and they both moved their eyes and necks towards it. In the middle of a huge training ground, it was hard to find another, but that wasn't it. There were scents all around of course - of people who had been there hours or days ago; faint scents. Or scents of others further away; ones that the two couldn't as easily pick up on. But this one was new - fresh. It didn't have the wild scent of grass and hair, so it wasn't an animal. No. It was human. And it seemed to linger for more than a moment. Reza's teeth flashed and she set off in the direction, Kuroi bounding after.

'It could be a scout from an enemy village..?' the Inuzuka thought, but decided against it. If another village was sneaking around, looking to see others' genin for the upcoming Chuunin exams, they would be more careful. Certainly they would know the abilities of an Inuzuka. Besides, it didn't smell like anything strange. She still wanted to find out who - or what - it was.

The trail wound around a tree, which confused Reza and Kuroi until they found it leading out to another field where they found a boy. She hated other people, which was ironic since he seemed to have tried to stay away from her. She stood at the edge of the trees, Kuroi beside her. Both their teeth were showing, and Reza was lowered a bit into a general stance - one that she could both advance or retreat in easily, while also having her hand low to her kunai pouch in case she needed to defend herself.

"Who are you? and why were you watching us?" she demanded, eyes narrowing at the boy.

The world was complicated. Possibly more complicated than it needed to be. As goes the saying 'That's easier said than done.' Nobody wanted to do things. Everyone wanted to sit back, relax, and let others who had even a little ambition do the hard work. The ones with ambition were the ones running the world. They couldn't; They wouldn't just sit back and get fat off of someone else's hard work. Wasn't that what the rich did? They just owned some big company that made millions of dollars a year, and stuff their pockets with more than they deserved. That's what was so complicated. The hundreds of hard workers got minimum wage while those lucky few wouldn't have to work a day in their lives.

Reza had ambition. Possibly even more than many had. She wanted to be Hokage. It took a hell of a load of ambition to want that. She wanted to protect her home. It took a hell of a load of ambition for that, too. And she knew from the very beginning that she might not even so much as receive a 'Thanks' from the villagers she would one day protect. Her and Kuroi.

Of course, no one's life was ever uncomplicated. Reza herself, fourteen years old, hardly ever went home. She hated her parents. They always wanted her to do better, do things 'right'. She had done everything right: she went to the Academy and graduated at the top of her class, never made any mistakes, always trained, was always getting better. She even went out and found her own companion rather than choosing one. Her parents wouldn't let her anyway - they thought she would never amount to anything, as a person, a ninja, a master. Nothing. Maybe it was their own way of getting her motivated, but she would show them wrong. She would amount to everything. She didn't know how, but it would happen.

"Kuroi, go!" Reza said, loudly, as she threw her arm forward and threw a thick stick as hard and as far as she possibly could. The little wolf - which was larger than many other puppies its own age - set off at a run, bounding over the yards and speeding toward the place where the stick would land. The two of them had to get stronger, faster. The only place to that by oneself was at any of the training grounds of Konoha.

• HEIGHT: 5'7
  
• WEIGHT: 110lbs
  
• APPAREL: Darker clothes; a long-sleeve, brown zipper jacket with white fuzzy edging on the hood that's torso part only reaches to just below her chest. Below that she wears a black tank top with fishnet at the U opening over the top of her chest. Black short shorts, and brown ninja shoes. Little space between the top of her shorts and the bottom of her tank top.
  
• BODY: Standing at 5'7, Reza isn't the tallest ninja ever seen. She has a hard appearance; toned, lean muscles, and always a serious or neutral face. Rarely is she ever seen smiling, and she is usually only truly happy when only in the company of her dog. She has long brown hair, untamed as per Inuzuka, which is tied back into a low ponytail. Her eyes are slitted, almost like a cat's, also per usual of an Inuzuka. Her fangs are longer than usual, and if that's not enough to mark her heritage, then the red fang tattoos on her cheeks should make it clear.
  
• BLEMISHES&SCARS: None
  

• PERSONALITY:
  Reza is a very stubborn person. She never wants to be wrong, and will almost never openly admit it. She is also fiercely competitive, taking a simple spar over the edge, and is what's called a bad loser, whether or not she seems like it. She hates to lose at anything, but especially fights. Even so, she always does things fairly and to the best of her ability. Honorableness is something that runs in her veins. She will never stab a friend in the back, nor even a defenseless opponent even if they deserve it. Even so, she holds grudges deep in her heart.
  
  Friends and family are very important. This is the one thing that practically no one will ever see in her unless they reach some sort of special connection with her. She's never had any friends, so she doesn't trust people; even her own parents or her clanmembers. She is a distant person, cold and calculating. Her mind never stops moving with possibilities and planning, especially in battle. The only person she truly has ever trusted has been Kuroi, her canine companion.
  
  However much she seems to hate other people, she really doesn't. Reza wants to have more friends, but finds it hard because of her family. She feels like she can hardly ever trust anyone other than Kuroi.
  
  She likes training, especially with other people as much as possible. She wants to get as much experience with as many different people as she possibly can. Reza wants to become one of the strongest ninja in the world. On the inside, she strives to become Hokage one day.

  Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
  Range: 0 - 5 meters

Cannot switch with other living people or animals.
  Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log) the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful.

  Rank: D [25]
  Type: Supplementary.
  Range: 0 - 10 meters.
  Handseals: -
  Chakra: Low
  Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
  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.

  Juujin Bunshin (Beast-Man Clone)
  Rank: D [25]
  Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique / Ninjutsu
  Range: Self
  Special: Form remains until cancelled or until the canine is severely injured.
  Description: Once the Inuzuka has learned to turn their body into beast-like forms, they then pass on their newfound powers onto their canine partner. Acting in conjunction with the clan member, the canine familiar will transform themself into a copy of the clan member once the appropriate handseals are finished. While in this form they can accomplish many of the same techniques as the original. When combined with the 'Four-Legged Technique', the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic.
  Domain: Inuzuka. Must know Shikyaku no Jutsu 'D'.
  
  
  Dainamikku Maakingu (Dynamic Marking)
  Rank: D [x5; 125]
  Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
  Range: 0 - 10 meters
  Special: Odor remains on target for 1 turn, plus one more each time retrained.
  Description: Basic, simple, funny, and insulting - just one of the many adjectives behind the Dynamic Marking technique. When their canine partners release a stream of urine on their target, the clan member can use their excellent sense of smell to locate their target no matter where they are. The urine itself is more dangerous than normal urine, because of its burning and strong sticky qualities. On top of an excellent trackin jutsu, this technique is mainly used as a set up for the Soutourou technique. When the clan member and canine familiar are spinning at such high speeds they are unable to see where they are going, but by using their nose they are able to locate their target with little trouble.

By continuing their flow across their body and moving on all fours, they can obtain high speed movement and reflexes like that of a wild animal. Taught only to the members of the Inuzuka clan, this technique forms the basis of a Inuzuka clan member's taijutsu fighting style, and will add even more to their feral-like appearances; their canine teeth, their finger and toenails grow to claw-like length, their eyes also become more wild with their pupils becoming slits. When under the effects of this jutsu, an Inuzuka will display great feats of physical strength, speed, and endurance.

The user spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target. The damage it can inflict on a human target can be extremely damaging, as it can readily tear through thick tree branches and even chakra reinforced barriers, all of which with a radius thicker than the user itself. The fast rotation will cause a damaging impact on their opponent or an nearby object when they connect with their claws.
  Domain: Inuzuka. Must know Shikyaku no Jutsu 'C'.

  Houkou no Ōkami (Howl of the Wolf)
  Rank: D, [C], B, A, S [75]
  Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
  Range: See special!
  Consumption: Mid - High
  Special: Effectiveness of the howl depends on the user's highest Shikyaku no Jutsu rank, and it affects friends and foe alike, including the user. The howl induces momentarily impaired hearing. While howling, the user remains in place. The effect of the technique affects those within ten meters of the user when first learned, plus ten more meters for each new rank attained. Highest rank known determines how long the effects of the user's howl can last upon its victims.
  D - 1/4th of a turn
  C - Half of a turn
  B - Whole turn
  A - 2 turns
  S - 3 turns
  Description: Houkou no Ōkami, a special technique within the Inuzuka Clan, allows the user to alter their vocal cords to create a high-pitch sound upon howling, causing great disability in those affected.

  D - 5 meters
  C - 10 meters
  B - 15 meters
  A - 20 meters
  S - 25 meters
  Description: Toruunega is known as one of the Inuzuka clan's most effective defensive tactics, despite being a group based on pure offense. Utilizing the same concept as Tsuuga (Piercing Fang), the user is able to remain stationary rather than become airbourne, spinning rapidly on their feet as they prepare to defend themselves from an incoming attack. This technique steals the same concept as Tsuuga, except the user is transforming the offensive advantage of the rotation into a defensive advantage. Due to the rapid spin and the chakra-enhanced durability granted by Four-Legged Technique, the user is able to successfully defend an assault from any angle of equal rank or lower, forcing the object/being to be knocked back vigorously with ease. However, intangible attacks, such as fire, lightning, or even sound, defended by this technique will not experience the same repelling effect, simply being dispersed instead.
  Domain: Inuzuka. Shikyaku no Jutsu per rank. Tsuuga.

While using the Four-Legged Technique, the user sends waves of chakra to either one of their hands, building chakra before they lash forth, releasing the chakra in a slashing manner. The sharp-edged chakra travels in a crescent motion, capable of tearing through skin and bone easily. Any defense of equal rank or lower damaged by the specified rank by this technique will be pierced.
