"Hm, well to you it might be. Normally the raw chakra surrounding us is yellow.”

Oh- She had been doing it wrong, then.
But that was no matter, there was always time for progress and to change of course, but at the moment time was a little bit of the essence. She at least wanted to do a few things before she had to leave for the night to prevent herself from freezing to death- She would sleep soundly tonight probably, having learned a good few techniques that would be of good use for her in the exams themselves. ”Ah- I see- That explains it, then.” she would tell him simply- What she had been faintly seeing was the raw chakra then, what she needed to concentrate now was on blue, or at least some degree of blue chakra that could be described as Raiton- Raw and unpredictable, it was these things that she tried to look for within her arms, although at the moment, her form was a mere mixture of smooth chakra. Disappointment!

No matter though. ”I’m glad that I can use them, don’t get me wrong- But I need to work on them.” right now she only knew the most basic version, so it would be nice to upgrade them a bit, as so to say, in order for her to be able to detect stronger chakra within people and things that could help later on in life if she needed to see such things. She had requested her father to teach her in the past, and her eldest brother had promised to teach her, but when would the time come? Hopefully once she achieved Chuunin, or, after returning she would be able to learn how to use the eyes- A proud Sansutsomu, Areru was hoping to become quite the high ranking shinobi within the clan in a matter of years! Her experience would hopefully be passed on to others too. Atlas would be the first of her teachings!

His speech quieting a bit as he’d seem to want to remember something, the amnesia he had past spoken of probably clouding his memory, she would await for him to speak as she kept trying to get the chakra to appear within her arms. Right now it was quite strange and fiddly but with a bit more of training she didn’t doubt her ability to not do this. Confident when it came to training, she was even moreso when the weather was particularly bad. It wasn’t all that awful here, but it was different, and the cold air seemed to give her an edge when it came to training. Responding well to weather, she was much more.. animated when storms were occurring, not to say that she wasn’t interesting without one, of course. ”…….”

Her arms becoming a little bit stiff from being held in the same position for quite a while now she would move them around for a moment or two before then placing them back in the same one as before, her eyes intent on picking up the chakra. This would prove quite the fail, until he would seem to give her a piece of information that would illustrate what she needed to do much more. The way of the sensor was strange, especially when training. Unlike techniques when she had the teacher display the technique to her, with this.. you couldn’t see what was in the mind of others- Unless you could do something like that through a clan or something, of course. ”Oh..! That seems to make some sense- I’ll try that now. Thank you!” with that said, the youth would then shift her shoulderblades a little bit, moving them up and down once, as she’d then afterwards start on the canvas idea that he had suggested, she moving her gaze back to him as she would slowly but surely, after following his directions, make out very faint blue sparks----

Was this the technique coming to life?!

His response was one that she was quite happy to hear, even if he did suggest that their training might have to cease before night truly fell upon the land- It was a cold place and no doubt it got deathly chilly during this time of year- A single night of staying out in the freezing cold would probably be the death of anyone who befell such a fate, no matter as to whether if they were medic, or a katon user. However, with time passing so quickly she sure did hope that it wasn’t soon time to leave, as she had much to learn, and much to teach Atlas in return! ”I’ll do my best with this to make sure that you can learn it.” Being both from Kumogakure, she hoped that she wouldn’t end up fighting him in the last round- Should she succeed the first two- due to the fact that they had formed some kind of friendship, and, to be pitted against each other would be unfair.

And so would being pitted against Kaeor himself- She hadn’t seen him in a little while now but she looked forwards to being in his company again- ”Concentrate.” with her thoughts moving from her own personal matters back to the curious technique she was learning the sausutsomu would move back to looking at her own arms once more, her pale figure illuminated softly with the chakra that flowed through her at the moment. Sensory was a curious thing but she was quite glad that she had picked it up-It would prove very useful to her, and she would soon hope to prove this in the next round of the exams, and the round after it, if she was to be so lucky as to get that far. However, at the moment, despite her efforts.. not much was happening!

With a cough, as harmless as it was, it surely suggested that her capacity to train was to be over within a few hours, and she took this in to accord as she would then buckle down and try her best at getting this out of the way. With her eyes bearing lenses of chakra, which were now ever so slightly upgraded a bit by the technique she was trying to cast, her attempts at learning it wasn’t doing any good at the moment due to the fact that she could still see the average chakra within both her and Atlas, despite the fact that the two of them could harness Raiton chakra itself- So why wasn’t it appearing? Such questions were unanswerable to her at the moment, although staring intently from her arms back to Atlas, she would wait, and hope that something would happen soon.

As a question would then be directed at her whether her training seemed to be working or not, blindly the girl would shake her head as a no. ”Nothing much is happening right now- I’m trying to focus on both my own arms and you. I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it in a little while though..” she’d tell him in the same confident tone as before, yet it was slightly quieter, showing that she was truly focusing on the technique itself as she tried her best to harness the power that it allowed. ”………..” as she bathed in silence once more she hadn’t liked to be this quiet, but in order to concentrate fully she found it easier to do so without speaking- But, she couldn’t help herself of course, this guy was pretty interesting! Maybe he knew her brothers? She was pretty sure that one of hers was around his age. She had plenty of them, after all!

Her chakra moving around her wildly as it was preparing to be released, she would but wonder what other possibilities this technique had. From her past experiences of seeing it, it seemed like some kind of electrical barrier around the user, which would probably deter anyone from running in to them lest they be given quite a nasty shock by the barrier itself. It sure did hold potential, although, were there other versions of the techniques that branched off from it? And had the masked gentleman known any more? She knew that he knew a lot of techniques- Although at the moment, the only thing that she knew he was able to do, was to be able to use raiton, something which they had in common. Unknowingly to her at the moment though, they would seem to have even more similarities!

His commentary on her work would be taken in to great consideration- He was speaking the truth, of course. At the moment she was in quite the bind as she found it quite hard to advance to the next step, but she was sure that after a little bit, it would be easily understood. ”This bit is strange- I’m used to having static shocks but I would prefer not to be given one right now.” she’d tell him with a grin, referring to the point where he had told her how to carefully control the technique and to prevent herself from receiving the brunt of it on her own head. Although, she would soon seem to understand the technique a bit more as he’d approach her with swift seals being formed, a red, almost sinister looking glow enveloping his form in the shape of a kind of ball- The same that she had seen so many years ago.

With an idea of how it worked now- The chakra going forwards, out of the body in that shape, creating a sort of barrier infused with raw lightning chakra itself, Areru would nod her head confidently as her hands, still clasped together quite tightly as her expression changed, her fingers then would shift in to fists- "-AAARGH!"CRACK! suddenly around her form would soon burst a field of chakra itself, electricity pouring from her very pores as it was released in the form of a technique, and would move around her, protecting her from whatever enemies drew near her being. Of course, this was similar to the one that he had used, but was perhaps if but a little less powered than his- She of course was new to this, so she hadn’t expected it to be that perfect at the first try-

-But it was a good effort, and as she gazed at herself and the shape of lightning around her- concentrated in to a kind of red form, she would but marvel in awe at the technique- It had no doubt been of quite low level, but it was nonethess astounding- And this guy was pretty neat for knowing the technique and teaching it to her, of course! ”Is this right, Atlas?” she would ask him as her eyes would change from viewing the creation that she had called upon, back to his own visage. Would he be happy with her attempt? Or had she done it wrong? If he was glad- What would happen next? She did have a plan to teach him one of her favourite raiton techniques, so she sure did hope that he hadn’t known it already!

"Holy crap."

This response could but show some concern as his arm would no doubt become frazzeled by the technique that she had just performed on him- She was unsure whether her innate ability to channel storms and the raiton that could be found in them in to other techniques, but it seemed that by his response, and how his face seemed to contort if but a little bit in pain, that the technique had worked correctly. She felt a bit of guilt of course from having done so to his arm, although he had suggested that she try it out that way- Oh well. She’d make it up to him later, maybe she could teach him a raiton technique or two to show her gratitude?

Yes- That would be quite nice. Taking her hand away from him to prevent any move damage being done she would then move a few threads of hair away from her face, the only thing happening after that being the hairs themselves moving strangely towards her hand, static enveloping them, something that happened quite often to the youth. ”I’m sorry- That looked as if it hurt.” she’d tell him, watching as he’d remove some stray tears from his eyes- It had been that powerful? Such a technique would no doubt be full of potential then, for the exams! She had already planned some kind of plan for her fighting round but- It depended whether she even got to that stage or not at the moment. But, learning things like this no doubt helped her on her way.

”Thank you- Lightning is a pretty important release in our family so I want to try and do my best at learning different techniques from it.” she would tell him- Sometimes overshadowed by he elder brothers, the youngest, and the only girl, sometimes strived to try and break the mould by becoming even powerful than them- But at the moment, that goal was quite a distance away. ”You had amnesia? My brothers have had that before- But they’ve been in more situations where that could happen to someone than I have.” she’d tell him with a nod of her head, her right hand then raising after calming down a bit, and rubbing against the side of her head.

And now- Another offer of training! Surely she would accept this with open arms, and he, having only one useable arm at the moment from the technique that she had just used, seemed happy enough to teach her, as Hirihi herself had been to guide her in to the way of the sensor. Nodding vigorously at this, quite happy to be learning more about Raiton, the girl would then crack her knuckles once, preparing herself for any seals that would need to be done. Her pale skin mimicking that of the snow itself, her clothing being quite bold against the white canvas, Areru would look at his arm once more which seemed a bit.. dead, before turning back to look at his eyes again; ”You OK?” she’d ask, as casual as ever yet with a slight tone of concern.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Her hand held in front of her, she would look at it. At the moment she was unable to detect any kind of chakra from it but then again, with a simple blink her special, bloodlimit ability would be utilized. She had been training it for a while now and getting it to appear was as easy as ever. For people looking at her, due to the contacts upon her eyes she wouldn’t look any different due to it being the most basic of the sansutsomu eye techniques, but, this heightened sense that she had been birthed with gave her the ability now to see threads of chakra of raiton, suiton and fuuton chakra, and, with this sense, it would be easier for her to see the progress of the technique itself happen.

So, her eyes piercing her hand with its gaze she would await and listen to what he had to say as he’d then go onwards to explain to her how exactly to make it easier to learn such techniques as these. So- Breathing was key then? It was quite a strange idea although she guessed that in the end it did make some sense- When you were panicing, you could easily lose your cool and start hyperventilating- It was these slow, controlled breaths that allowed you to calm down once more, and although she wasn’t in a state of panic right now- Far from it, in fact- she figured that she could work on her breathing, it couldn’t hurt, right? ”Okay.” the single word spoken by the girl her left hand would descend to her thin, spindly knees, as all focus would now be on her right hand.

It was a bit annoying that with all this power in her hand, she was unable to use it as of yet due to the fact that she hadn’t known how to control it correctly but as he went on, with a tone that suggested that he was quite used to teaching or, was a naturally born teacher of sorts, she’d just think about what he had to say carefully, so that she could use his words to the best of their extent in her training. With a deep breath out she’d then take one in, and the process would continue again and again, as her breathing soon got controlled. With this part of herself sorted out, she’d now go towards the fierce sparks that she needed to create from her fingers which would make the shock that the jutsu was known for.

”Lightning storms? I can do that.” she’d say with a grin on her face- So, she needed to capture the violent outbursts of lightning storms in her hand, right? She could easily do that- Lighning was in her blood- She was born during a storm, and, she was hoping that at the time of her death, it would be stormy. It was a strange thought, but she did enjoy her storms, and very much. They gave her an edge that people usually didn’t see from her- They transformed the girl, really. So, focusing intently on her hand she’d then slowly build up the kind of chakra, converting it in to the raiton that was so very much needed- She could tell that it was there solely because of her eyes, as threads of Raiton chakra soon circled around in her hand, dancing as the power of it increased.

”-I can see it. I think I’ve got the lightning part down but.. I just need to sort out these sparks now, it should only take me a bit.” her confidence in her raiton abilities was quite great- When some may have paused and taken all the time in the world, she adapted quite brightly to it all. It was her natural instinct, really.

It was either that interest had sparked in her name from Atlas himself, or he was simply trying to make some conversation. Either way Areru was happy enough to respond, giving him a little bit of information about her name. ”It means stormy and temperamental.” she would tell him- The stormy part sure did suit her due to her bloodline but then again.. The temperamental part.. Wasn’t so much her at all. She was feisty when it came to fighting via insults and when storms were around, but otherwise she was pretty chill, or, the chillest person at the moment in the exams. With calm eyes would the blood red optics look at his hand again as he seemed to introduce the technique to her- So, just as she had suspected, it was a raiton one- Interesting- And it stunned limbs? Even more interesting.

So, approaching the near crimson haired male she’d draw close to him, although, far away enough so that if she was to use the technique, he would not be within harming distance. As she then approached him, he would soon begin to use the technique once more, describing to her in quite some detail about how to develop it correctly. She didn’t really want to make any mistakes, leaving her to try once more, which wasn’t really something that she wanted to do, seeing as time was quite short at the moment. Words would not be spoken upon her part as her eyes simply lay upon his hand, her ears on the other hand concentrating on what he had to say. She needed to pool her chakra to her palm then, but of course, convert it to the raiton chakra that she was so used to.

”..Alright, I think I understand. I’ll give it a shot.” she would tell him in her usual calm and collected tone, as the would try to put what he had spoken to true use- Her chakra soon spreading to her palms and beginning to collect there, she’d await a few moments as she would go through the process quite slowly to prevent any potential mistakes although, she knew full well that there was always the chance of mistakes happening, even if she was very careful. But, doing it in such the way that she was now reassured her that if something did go out of place, it wouldn’t be so bad as to make the whole land explode. It was something that she feared, yet, inside, she knew it probably wouldn’t happen- Better safe than sorry, though!

With a look of intense concentration on her hands she’d keep fuelling her chakra to her palms- Yet nothing happened! How was she supposed to make the sparks that the technique requested in order for it to be used correctly? With the same calm expression on her face, her mindframe the same- Yet slightly puzzled- the young sansutsomu would bring her eyes from her hand, back towards him, as she’d ask; ”How do I make the electrical charge? I’m a bit confused on that part.” she’d ask, her hand rife with chakra yet- She hadn’t the knowledge at the moment to ignite it in to raiton- Surely enough she was quite adapt to raiton techniques but just this one was a bit different.
