The words… somehow they soothed him. After a quick scan around him he realized no one was there except them, and he was able to allow her to help him back down. Hiruzen tested his hands, some bandages were tied around his body in places where he’d been cut or stabbed from the random blade he hadn’t been able to avoid. His defense was incredible, but when escaping the vengeance of Sunagakure it would be expected one would have a few scars to show for it.

As if a light bulb went off in his head he realized she must have gotten him away and bandaged him up… He looked at her, hearing her words but the realization meant so much more to him. Her voice was sweet and her offer of water made his mouth water but he could only look at her with surprise on his face. Eyes locked he spoke with the same surprise in his voice, even though his tone was low.

”You saved me… I… don’t know what to say. I’m in your debt…”

He looked up to the sky, how would he ever repay her for saving his life? What was his life worth? Until now it was only about the power he wielded. That’s all he’s ever known. Power and killing. Nothing else ever mattered. He never had the chance to know anything else… until now. He looked back to her, still laying on his back and only moving his head he spoke matter o-factly.

”May I ask who I owe my life too?”

Time was running out, and his body was beginning to tremble with fatigue. Each jump was getting harder and more forced as his body worn down. He had to stop. A path came up before him and he caught sight of… a girl ahead? He couldn’t tell through the distance and thin mist. But he focused on her, trying to make out more detail and determine if he approached another enemy or not. This would prove to be his down fall.. quiet literally.

As he moved, trying to read the women ahead, his tried legs caught up on a passing branch. A rookie mistake, but he was still young, and gravely tired and weak by this point. Beaten and bruised, Hiruzen flew forward wildly, crashing through branches and landing in a heap before the girl. He lay motionless on his side, he struggled to move even though he knew he desperately needed to get to his feet.

His heavy gourd lay next to him, holding his weakened body down. Normally it’s weight was welcome, but not now. Thoughts of his pursuers racing to catch their fallen prey stuck fear in the young broken boys heart and face as he looked up to the girl on the path. Would she be struck down for even laying eyes on him?

The thought brought up images of the unthinkable and he rolled to his stomach, struggling to his hands and knees but unable to get to his feet. He looked up, fear and pain written across his body and face as he locked freighted eyes with the girl.

Through pain he uttered the words to try to save her life…
”Rrr… run.”

Crashing through the trees was the sign his hunters were upon them, and he could not muster the strength to get to his feet. He wasn’t running out of time... his time had come.

Well thats relieving to hear. But still the point remains that Exar and Solo and whoever else has added the same general thought of "Why are we Hindering Suiton so" in the first place?

Sure, higher ranking jutsu that would demand an incredible amount should be limited to either massive chakra pools for creation or a source but if what Exar said is true and it's already the red headed step child of the elements, why continue with any of this? Even making a sourceless creation mastery still limits the element to specialists when everyone else will have two or more elements that are "better" because they are faster and in practically no way are limited in size due to source needed. (Some Doton and Fuuton excluded fro the obvious)

So why not drop this if it sparks such controversy among the site and members and is clearly a source of strife? I say, and take my option if you feel like it but i think it'd help otherwise i'd just keep my mouth shut,

• Let Suiton be used without a source.
  
  
• So your work into a mastery isn't for nothing, make a mastery (for Specialists or what have you) That improves overall water jutsu passively. Making it more sought after.
  

The idea is to up the speed and overall power in the element to bring it more up to par with the others in speed and possibly even a greater range to give it a form of edge. You get the idea the mastery would empower the element instead of doing something it shouldn't have to do, allow it to be used.

I hope these debates can be settled cause honestly there are bigger fish to fry other then solving the problem of weather or not Sution should be an elemental release, how to solve the water problem flooding our basement and destabilizing our happy site house. And lets admit it, no one wants to use or waste time with sution if they HAVE to have a source every time, and frankly not enough people stumble upon a site who are good enough rpers to adhere to the rule. It's only begging for conflict later on. Thus it's a Troll Trap for new members and with it's current restrictions hardly worth calling an elemental release. tbh

Just sayin, lets put this to rest and move on....

The sounds of feet slamming upon the ground torn his mind out of the mist’s of thought and into reality. Surprise crossed his face as he whirled around in the misty air and saw a man charging him, kunai in hand less then Ten meters away and closing in quickly. Shinobi instinct took over the young man’s body as his fingers flew in a flurry of signs, creating four as the man grew ever closer. Before he could get any closer, the unique power of his Saton control erupted from his gourd and a blade of sand was spat out of the current flowing form his back.

To some it would be a deterrent, but to many it’d catch them off guard and potentially be fatal. The speed of which it traveled was deadly enough, but it was a technique itself made the sand every bit if not more so, lethal then the shinobi shuriken. As the blade raced to meet the charging man, Hiruzen would form more signs, as his sands gathered beneath him and even began moving forward trailing the projectile to meet the man’s charge before he could reach the sand wielder.

Should the man retreat from the sand Shuriken, he had to be ready for more. A fight wasn’t what he had been looking for this day, but one had found him. Judging form the distance, the shuriken would or could, hit roughly 5 meters away from him and if it failed he’d have to really on his control over the element he wielded to save him, as the sands moved around and up his legs and out ahead of him.

Chakra Reduction I

1::Saton Ryuuken (Sand Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B,A, S
Type: Supplementary / Saton Kekkei Touta
Handseals: No
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra: High
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Saton (Sand) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Amount of sand controlled and speed at which one can control the sand particles depends on highest rank known. Additionally, highest rank also determines the density of the sand, to the point it will be immune to certain elements of lesser form - for example, a 'D' ranked water jutsu won't ruin a 'C' ranked sand creation. This applies to liquid or viscous type creations, as well as fire-based creations. Flames stronger than the sand can potentially ruin the particles by transmuting it into other material such as glass.
• D: 10 meters / 2 meters per second
• C: 20 meters / 4 mps
• B: 30 meters / 6 mps
• A: 40 meters / 8 mps
• S: 50 meters / 10 mps

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

2::Suna Shuriken (Sand Shuriken)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Saton Kekkai Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Range and speed of shuriken depends on the user's 'Saton Ryuuken' rank. Shuriken can only travel in a straight line, but carry an attack power equal to one rank less than their current 'SR'. Up to one shuriken can launched, plus one more each time retrained; however, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. With multiple shuriken, the user has the choice of firing them off either simultaneously, or one after another.
Description: The Sand Shuriken is a ninjutsu technique that allows the user to utilize their sand powers in order to create deadly projectiles. Using their chakra to control nearby sand, the user will hurl disks of sand at their opponent, a bit larger than conventional shuriken. Spinning through the air at high speeds, these disks are deadly in strength, inflicting large amounts of damage to the target and surrounding objects.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryuuken 'C'.

3:: Prep??

Her powers lay on the winds that she emulated then. He supposed that would have been more apparent if he’d considered it. But then again nothing was as it appeared in the shinobi world. As the wind blew across them to emphasize her power, he inhaled the sweet breeze.

The winds could be loving and gentle, but it could also shift and become deadly in a moments passing. Was his new companion like this as well? Who could be certain. She had shared and he could at least do her the courtesy of doing the same.
”I see, well I suppose I could simply tell you.. But you probably wouldn’t believe me. So I’ll show you.”

Extending his left hand and raising it a bit, as if he were holding something invisible in his hand to his side, the motion and surge of his own power triggered his control. The cork of his gourd popped out and sand spilled form the light grey gourd on his back, falling, no flowing as if it were living, to the ground and encircling Hiruzen’s feet.

The display of his sand manipulation had seldom been seen by those he didn’t intend to use against them, so he was curious to hear her thoughts of his abilities. He’d only known a few with the same grasps as he, and most of them were…. Different then he was. The Sunagami were quite popular for their control over his element, and in fact many if not most people with even knew of the ability probably thought they alone held the domain.

While he considered them powerful for their manipulation of his own element, fewer were like he was. He wasn’t a Sunagami, but a true man. His release came from the manipulation of two elements to create this power, but that was another of his secrets. For now, he wished to see his companions reactions to his revelation.

OOC:
Sorry for the delay. Rest assured that im back and not going anywhere f your ready to continue XD

A voice, so familiar yet unknown caught His attention, and as he stepped back to turn and look for it’s origin, he saw her. For the second time he’d be graced with the presence of the girl who wished to live forever. A small smirk crossed his lips. He didn’t think he’d see her nor their third companion for quite some time. And now here they were, just a few days after their meeting, graced with each others company once more.

As she came his way Hiru gave a courteous nod to her. She was an interesting one indeed and he’d thought so since he first met her. A beauty in her own right, with a cold lurking presence about her he assumed came with being a shinobi. Beautiful yet fierce, a truly deadly combination. He briefly wondered what thoughts she may have of him but brushed the thought off. The more interesting thing about her was that they shared a dream. Their desire to live forever, to defy death and obtain great power in this world was shared.

Few he’d met shared these desires so to find one who did, and one he didn’t have to kill for uncovering his Nuke-nin title, was a welcomed and interesting companion indeed. She asked him a question, a simple one but one that played through his mind cause it correlated with a past conversation. Shinobi being deadly, and her having knowledge of him as a Nuke of Sunagakure she commented on his life, and that he still kept it.
”I thought you’d remember that I wish to live forever. Dying now would only defeat my goals and slap my dreams in the face. And I’d never give up so easily.”

He smiled a bit more, His gourd’s weight shifted on his back as he scratched the back of his head.
”Besides if I died, you’d no doubt hear about it. If I am to go out, might as well make it memorable no? Last forever in the pages of history at least haha”
