With every thunder that emitted from the sky, other mountaineers probably hid until it was over, but she gladly ploughed on, the change of weather having given her some kind of boost in confidence. And now- She would prepare to train a little bit as she walked on, trying to do her best using the storm that was currently churning in the sky above- Sometimes she did wish to be right up in the sky so that she could hear all the different sounds, see all beneath her and smell that scent that you got in the air after a storm. Looking up, she knew what she wanted to train, and seeing as she was currently on the edge of a mountain, it would help her quite greatly in her aim to become a great Sansutsomu- It was storm wall, a technique that she had seen her father and brothers perform quite frequently during their sparring.

It was a technique that, from what she had seen, prevented the foe from going past the barrier it created since it itself was an epitome of the storm itself, standing tall and proving as a blockage to those who couldn’t control it. Yes- this is what she wanted to learn. It would be quite interesting to learn especially when on top of a mountain although she wanted to learn it so that she could cover the edge of the path that she was on, to make sure that she didn’t fall off- Hopefully, this storm wall wouldn’t prevent her from being pushed off the edge by the weather. She didn’t feel like falling off any time soon, and sadly enough for herself, she didn’t have any form of wings that she could sprout to fly away.

..Even if she did have that, though, no doubt the impending storm would stop her in some way, even though she herself aimed to harness the very power that was placed in to these thunderstorms that racked through Kaminari no Kuni so often. You didn’t have this in other lands- She had briefly visited other countries in her younger years and she missed the storms and bad weather that Kaminari was so famed for. However, continuing to walk up the mountain, she felt at home, almost more relaxed than she usually was, although her face bore the expression of a madwoman, almost hypnotized by the roaring sound of thunder and the claps of lightning that occurred all around her- But, snapping out of that minor phase she would now concentrate on learning the technique itself- So, handseals came first, naturally.

Her memory being quite clear, as she could remember the handseals her family had formed whilst using the technique, her fingers interlacing with each other as the signs of the zodiac would patiently be formed, as she’d try to perform them correctly- It had been quite a while since her brothers had last used it so, she would in her mind attempt to put the seals together, using the best of her memory to try and recall such seals that she had seen be weaved so often amongst her family. Hopefully now after this mission, she would come back down from the mountain with a new technique in her arsenal which she could show her father.

It was soon found that her training of the eye had come to a halt- She had successfully done it, but she no doubt would probably be training it later on in order to perhaps rank up. But for now, it was time for the two shinobi to part. Hirihi had generously given Areru her time in order to draw her in to the world of sensory techniques, and had taught her well, but now was time to leave. They would probably meet at some other point in the future. Or- She hoped. Giving her a deep bow she’d remain in that position for a moment before then rising. ”Thank you very much for teaching me.” she’d tell her, incredibly thankful that she had- She was sure that if Hirihi ever needed some help in the future, Areru would be one of the main people who would go to help- As long as she knew that she needed the aid.

”That would be absolutely great.” she’d tell Hirihi about the idea about training together later on in time when she knew more about sensory techniques. It was rare that she had the chance to be taught by people she didn’t even know before the training itself so it was always next to both meet new people, and learn new things. Maybe Areru could teach her a thing or two the next time their paths would meet- Perhaps a certain release maybe? Or just at technique. Apart from the fact that she knew she was a medic and a sensor ninja, she hadn’t known any more about the pink haired girl that now walked away from the scene. But, due to the friendly interactions between the two, she was sure that they would grow to be friends.

"Just to see how far you could use that eye, try and follow me as far as you can. It could be an interesting test for you." ]

Her eyes still activated, she’d nod her head and would then look at Hirihi as she’d leave, her chakra signal now as strong as it had been at ten meters, yet she was quite some distance away from her now. She’d watch intently on the figure that stood a while after her, as she’d watch as it would move, slowly fading out to the distance after the 20 meter barrier had begun. Grinning at this newly found limit that she had, it only drove her to want to learn more- To be able to move it up to 30 meters- Yes, that would be great to have. ”……..” looking at her chakra signal, only faint threads left, it would be soon until it was gone completely. Nodding her head, she’d disable the eye technique.

So- What was she going to do now? Do some more missions Or perhaps train up a bit with her brothers? She wasn’t all that sure but one thing she was sure of is that whatever she would do now in the time she had until the Chuunin exams, she had to spend it wisely. Training, doing missions was all good and well but she needed to push herself in order to make sure that she knew all she can to be ready for the big day when she’d step on the land which the exams would take place in. Would she need to meet the Raikage himself first? Such questions plagued her but sadly she was unknown of an answer as of now. But she’d probably learn it later on. With the technique disabled, she’d now make her way towards the center of Kumogakure, off to do.. something.

EXIT!

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Suddenly, as she’d keep her eyes on the chakra figure that was Hirihi she’d soon notice her fade out to the distance, only very, very faint threads left to show to Areru that she had only moved, and it hadn’t been some kind of trickery- Her eye at the moment was a bit weak, but she hoped that with enough training, she’d be able to enhance it greatly, allowing her to see for longer distances, and hopefully allow her to see Hirihi fully now that she had moved away a meter or so. It was sad to see how little she could view but, seeing only wisps of chakra where she was at the moment, she’d better get working at making her vision better in the sense of the Kagura’s eye.

"Is any of what I had told you beginning to make sense? Is it helping you at all?"

”Yes- It’s helping a lot, thank you! Give me a few minutes to try this out..” she’d tell her with her eyes closed as she’d keep working at the lens that was currently around her eye- She needed to make it a different shape as so to say, or to strengthen the lens itself. If she could but make it larger that would be very good, but at the moment, it didn’t appear as if a lot of her efforts were paying off that well! Shaking her head slightly, her right hand shifting the right side of her hair a bit before dropping back down, she would keep focusing on the lens beneath her eyelids, attempting to make it what Hirihi had explained in order to make it easier for her to learn it.

But it wasn’t all that easy- About five minutes of total concentration would go past as she’d focus on the lens. In this time it had given her a slight headache from concerntrating so much on a certain part of her body for long but it was incredibly mild- But then- HUZZAH! slowly but surely the chakra signals that would be coming from Hirihi would move from the very faint trails they were to something much stronger. It was incredibly interesting how it had progressed and she was pretty sure that the girl was still standing where she had been minutes ago. ”It’s working! I can see you a bit clearly now.” she would tell her in a tone of joy, a grin on her face.

Although, she couldn’t help but feel that she could do a little bit better- Looking at Hirihi again with her almost blind eyes due to them being closed, among the black background that was around her she’d see the chakra signals around the pink medic slowly begin to grow stronger with every minute that she focused on the lens, attempting to make it thicker so that she’d be able to see for longer distances- The sansutsomu seemed to be overjoyed that he vision had been heightened to the extent that she could see the medic from a total of eleven or so meters away- It had only been a bit more, but comparing to the thin threads of chakra that could be seen before, seeing her in full-form with her newly upgraded eye was such an achievement for her!

The green haired girl would look at Hirihi for a few moments with quite a content look upon her face after she had managed to learn the last technique that she had trained- She was quite proud of herself to say the very least, that she had learned another technique, and of course she was more than thankful after Hirihi herself had volunteered to help her with learning these techniques- It was in this way that she’d hopefully be able to do the village good by becoming a sensor- She knew that they were all over the place but then again, if she could get quite good at it, perhaps the Raikage himself would be interested in her skills! Despite this, she knew that Hirihi would probably always be better than her in the field- She being a medic too, no doubt her control over chakra was greater than hers.

Listening to her, Areru’s arms dropped by her sides as he eyes continued to stay closed with her mind’s eye utilized to allow her almost sixth sense to be used. Listening to the frail looking girl, she would be given a brief of what she was about to learn- Or, re learn, as she was now going to simply extend her knowledge of the eye itself to perfect her ability- Or, to at least learn the next step. The version that she knew at the moment was good, but then again it wasn’t amazing. It had only been the lowest form- a D-rank, but it did open her mind to the whole thing- It would be nice to know the next version up. Pondering what abilities it would have, she would continue to listen to the girl, as she explained.

”We’ll expand the technique? I hadn’t known there was a cap on the technique I already knew but it does make a lot of sense- I’m sure that incredibly talented sensors can see for miles.” she’d tell her in a pretty interested tone- The whole sensor business intrigued her. ”I appreciate all that you have done, thank you very much!”

After her thanks were given she would then continue to listen with her eyes closed, the chakra signal of Hirihi herself still strong in her vision- So if she could only see a limited amount of distance, that obviously meant that she couldn’t see anything past that point- And according to Hirihi, ten meters was the maximum that she could see at the moment. Of course as black flooded her vison she couldn’t tell this, but the little pink ninja obviously knew more than she did, so she took her words and trusted them. Learning the next step of it would be challenging, but no doubt beneficial to both her learning and her experience! This would be very useful.

As Hirihi then seemed to prove to her that she could only see within the range of ten meters, she would watch as her chakra signature would fade out in to the distance as she’d seemingly walk away- 10 meters was a pretty small distance, so bouncing it up to 20 would be great. Shifting from her weight from one foot to the other, she’d keep watching until the figure that she knew as Hirihi was now gone from her vision totally- She didn’t even know where she was, which sucked a bit. But hopefully, with further training, she’d be able to extend her vision! Even with her eye of the Sansutsomu clan, it was a bit confusing even for her. ”Haha, you’ve disappeared from my vision! This just makes me wonder for how far the best sensors can see.. I’m sure you’ll become one of them in time!” she’d say, answering the question she had asked as she’d look to where he had been before, and then to where she assumed that she had walked off to.

”How do I extend my vision, though? It seems complicated.”
