“It’s how I’ve always thought of the rain. It makes it less depressing and makes me feel better.” She smiled at him, staring at him intently. It was nice to find someone else her age with close to the same thought process as herself. After all, it wasn’t often she really interacted with many people due to the status of her clan and how it angered her that no one knew who they were. Sayuri knew that this boy would be no different, but for the time being it was nice to act normal with someone for once.

“I don’t like sitting in the house either, though I’m not usually by myself. Why would you be all by yourself in the house? You’re still rather young to be out on your own.” As she said this the rain started to pick up and really pour. Her clothing started to cling to her form and her hair became heavy as it plastered down to the sides of her face and neck. Grumbling a bit, she couldn’t help but chuckle a little afterwards and hold her hands up while shrugging. This was a storm after all.

I didn’t expect it to pour down like this so soon, guess we better hurry.

“Well Tsukune, let’s get to that covered bridge, hm?” The Genjutsu user stared at his hovering hand and for a reason unbeknownst to her, she grabbed a hold of it. However instead of the typical fashion of the boy pulling the girl along it was the opposite. Once she grabbed his hand she began running towards the covered bridge that was just a head. From running the rain pelted down on them even harder and really soaked them, their clothes thoroughly wet all the way through. Thankfully it didn’t take too long to get underneath the bridge.

Once there, Sayuri heaved and tried catching her breathe. However there was still a smile on her face. A roar of thunder echoed through the sky and she looked up to catch a flicker of lightning. This made her realize that she was still holding Tsukune’s hand to which she let go immediately. “Ahem, well, soaked or not, at least we can attempt to keep from getting any wetter under here.”

And stay here for a while so we can dry. It’s really pouring out there…

I think I just pissed myself laughing at this.

Ototon- 150 EXP

Ototon Ryouuken (Sound Dominion) 75
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Highest rank determines the range the sound waves produced by the user can travel, as well as their speed.

• D: 10 meters // 5 meters per second
  
• C: 20 m // 10 mps
  
• B: 30 m // 15 mps
  
• A: 40 m // 20 mps
  
• S: 50 m // 25 mps

Description: The basis behind the majority of Ototon techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very sound waves around them. 'Sound Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Ototon nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over all sound around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Ototon.

Shinrei Tachimachi (Ringing of a Bell Technique) 25
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Ototon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: Can ring up to one bell, plus one more each time retrained, for a max of 20 bells. The technique cannot be activated if the user cannot ring the bells. Distance vibration can travel depends on the user's highest 'Ototon Ryouuken' rank.
Description: An extremely simple technique within the manipulation of the Sound Element, upon performing the handseal, the user sends vibrating sound chakra through a wire that they are physically touching to a Senbon Bell, which is normally attached along or at the end of the wire. This vibrating chakra forces the Sound Bells to vibrate in effect, potentially creating several "ringing bell" sounds around an opponent. Though weak and unnecessary at first glance, this is simply a follow-up technique for more deadly, advantageous tactics.
Domain: Ototon. Ototon Ryouuken 'D'.

Ototon-Inkaten Shinkirou no Jutsu (Flashing Point Mirage) 50
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Ototon Genjutsu
Range: 10 meters ( See Special )
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Mid [per mirage!]
Special: This jutsu only works when a sound is being made. The mirage itself is limited to move where the sound was originally made, no more than the same distance as "Sound Dominion". The sound acts as a trigger for the genjutsu; therefore, if the opponent does not hear the sound, the mirage is not seen. While the mirage is a visual illusion the trigger is activated by hearing. The mirage can only be an image of yourself or of someone else the PC has seen and encountered in the past. For example, you cannot just create a mirage of a giant bijuu to make the opponent flee. Up to one mirage can be made per turn, plus one each time retrained. Mirages lasts until victim destroys or disrupts the illusion.
Description: The user focuses their chakra on a noise or vibration and manipulates the sound waves to create a quick lasting mirage. The mirage usually consists of the users own image, but with enough skill the user can create any image they want.
Domain: Ototon. Ototon Ryouuken 'C'.

Genjutsu- 300

Kitsunenomado (Spaghetti Fingers) 100
Rank: C+C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Affects up to one finger at a time within a target, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one.
Description: A useful almost immediate affect that most ninja soon come to love. The user performs the needed seals to activate the technique, and the target chosen by the user is immediately affected. The victim of this technique feels theirs hands twitch straight away, then become sluggish after the initial twitch, leaving the hands to feel slow. Almost as though their hands were losing feeling and becoming numb. This has a very high potential to mess up handseals in progress, and may slow down future seals.
Domain: Genjutsu

Ashigatsuru no Jutsu (Jelly Dead Leg) 150
Rank: C+C+C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Can be used one a single appendage within a target per turn, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one.
Description: With this simple illusion, the target will begin to feel their arms and legs loose and wobbly, almost as if they had become glue or jelly. This forces the victim to not feel pain, but instead lose balance and feel wobbly, as well as feel unable to properly feel their arms.
Domain: Universal Genjutsu

Horoshi no Jutsu (Creeping Crawling Skin) 50
Rank: C
Type: Basic Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Produces up to 5 grotesque ants, plus 5 more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, the chakra consumption of this technique will go up by one.
Description: Once the needed seals have been formed, the target of the victim becomes aware of movement under their own skin, like there’s something underneath. At this point the skin on the victim breaks open into little holes, and hundreds of ants climb from the openings. These ants quickly cover the victim’s skin and overwhelm them. This can act as a major distraction as the victim will generally try to get them off in a panic.
Domain: Universal Genjutsu

Ninjutsu- 15

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique) 15
Rank: E+E+E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects equal or smaller in size; 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), an animal, the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Sayuri had a hard time keeping up with Naota as he took of towards the final house. Where he had gotten the stamina all of a sudden to this was beyond her. However, despite her disdain towards the Uchiha, she was quite aware of their capabilities both mentally and physically. It seemed as though her mission companion was finally tapping into that side of him.

Already he seemed almost entirely different than from the boy she had met back on their first mission at that creepy house in the woods.

Regardless, he was proving himself to be a decently skilled ninja and a good person at that. He didn't show any of the typical traces of Uchiha pride and arrogance. She liked that about him. It changed her strict opinion on clans that not everyone in them think and act exactly the same. That's why she could considered Naota more than just another Uchiha.

He was her friend.

She waited at the bottom of the building as Naota made his way to the top. There was no need for both of them to go up after all. It didn't long thankfully as he soon joined her once more. The Kurama smiled at him and nodded her head back towards the way that they had come. Quickly, she took off for the clients house without another word.

Once the two of them made it back to the client, they reported that all the deliveries were a success and that his clients should be happy with him. Thankfully, another mission was complete. Sayuri turned to Naota and smiled, waving.

"Well, I'll see you around Naota. I'm sure we'll go on another mission sometime. Also," She paused as she started to back away from him. "I live in a small district dedicated to the Kurama clan. Look it up if you ever want to spar or train, okay?"

With another wave, she turned around and hurried off so that she could collect her Ryou and rewards for this oh so wonderfully completed mission~

//EXIT

There really never seemed to be a lack of missions these days. Already it felt as though the work load that had been put on her was double than what she remembered her friends from her first time around in the Academy had gone through when they graduated. The Kurama found this odd, but she didn't question it. After all, the experience was valuable regardless.

Not to mention it helped to put the Kurama name back into the minds of those in Konohagakure that had forgotten them.

Sayuri hurried along, taking the rooftops as a quicker means of travel rather than bothering with the streets below. As per usual, it would seem as though Naota was her partner once again. ON a logical speaking, an Uchiha with their obvious advantages and a Kurama with their Genjutsu would be a deadly combination in combat oriented missions. However they had so far only encounter one mission that truly called for fighting.

Despite knowing that each and every mission had its worth, she couldn't help but contradict an earlier thought. Higher ranked missions meant a better chance to spread the name Kurama. But, in retrospect, proving herself here and now would unlock that route for her. A smile twitched at the edges of her mouth at the thought of it.

To think, me, Sayuri, going on a high ranked mission and completing it with my Genjutsu. Father, and the Kurama, would be so proud...

He thoughts trailed off at the thought of the Chuunin Exams that would most likely be coming up soon. Maybe even make it further than a simple Genin too. If she would make Chuunin, that would mean so much to everyone. She would bring hope.

The tangent she had went off on stopped her from paying close attention. In a frenzy, Sayuri noticed the ceiling clotheslines and clothing hanging from them at the last second. Gracefully however, she ducked and turned in a spin under them before slowing down. That's when the sign for Hoagwantana Fireworks came into view. In a flash she made her way over and down to the entrance to wait for her partner.

As if on cue, Naota came hurrying to the front of the store as well. "Hey there Naota. Looks like fate brings us together yet again, hm?"

Sayuri smiled as she reached out to squeeze the younger boy's shoulder before turning to head inside and get their pick up. However as she walked, she turned her head, smile still their though not as prominent. "Maybe the next mission we go on will be something a tad more exciting. I'm curious to see how well we can work together."

It was a big step for her to accept an Uchiha. But from what she noticed, he didn't have the Sharingan, which was good. That meant he wasn't a pompous fool. Regardless though, once inside the owner immediately assumed they were his delivery ninja and handed over four medium sized boxes.

"Thank you so much, kids. Each one is a little heavy, but it should be okay for you. All of the packages go along the same route, so stick together and pass those out as you go."

The older gentlemen nodded assertively before waving to stop us and giving us a piece of paper, supposedly a map but very old, and put it on top of one of the boxes that Sayuri had been trying to fiddle with it. Though she knew she wasn't supposed to go through them, the curiosity nagged at her. She stopped though immediately as the map was placed on top of the one of her boxes.

"Well thank you sir," she had started as he nodded proudly that he tried to give you a map. However she just looked away and towards Naota. "Let's get this done okay?"

And with that, off they could go to the first house...

Sayuri wasn't having any luck whatsoever. Of course, she didn't know that her companion had already found the target, otherwise she would have already headed back to the client's house. Needless to say though in her attempts to find the correct cat, she had fallen out of a handful of trees, tripped over in an alley, and managed to get a bunch of scratches in the process.

"I'm beginning to hate cats." She grumbled to herself as she trudged back to the house of Lady Haruni. Obviously the cat, Ayane, wasn't over in the right sector as all. "Naota better have found the damn thing..."

The thought about going back out to find that cat made her cringe. Her luck, she'd find the right cat but she would be more of a handful to catch and deal with than the other cats she had encountered. Horror story after horror story replayed themselves in her head as she walked. Each one continuously made her cringe.

Upon arriving back at the clients house, she waited more towards the side of the house. The Kurama didn't dare wait near the front door lest she wanted the lovely bitch of a woman inside to come back out and yell at her for something stupid. Her wait was short though. It seemed like that in a mere few minutes her Uchiha partner came strolling up to the house, cat in hand.

"Naota!" Her voice was full of surprise, but enthusiasm. Quickly she smoothed out her hair and clothing, trying to make herself more presentable. Not particularly for him, but more so to try and hide the fact she had failed so miserably in trying to find the cat...and deal with some of her feline friends.

"Great, you found the cat! Good job! Well," she started, a smirk creeping across her face. "Since you found little miss Ayane, you have the pleasure of giving her back to the client. I'm sure she'll appreciate it." Sayuri couldn't help but chuckle a little at the thought.

This is going to be good...!
