Sonyo walked in to the Academy and began looking through the library there, through the many books and scrolls and other materials they had for ninja to use to advance their arsenal. She plucked a few books from where they laid on the dusty shelf and made her way to a small pool of water where she would most likely carry out most of her training.
The female sat beside the glassy surface and placed her books down, closing her eyes and relaxing every muscle in her body. She started first with her fingertips and toes, then to her arms and legs, and then continued on. After every muscle in her body was relaxed, she allowed all the thoughts in her head to slowly dissipate, leaving nothing behind. All her worries and comments, all of the troubles of the day, she let them all go. Sonyo slowly sunk in to the quietness that filled her mind. [ 1 // 9; -1 for class ]
Sonyo then let herself feel the flow and ebb of her chakra, the essence of her being. She felt its coolness and it's strength, but also its fragility. She exercised molding it, acting as if it were two types of clay that she had to mold in to just the perfect color. She did this a few times, some times the color was too much of one type of clay, and some times it was too much of the other. [ 2 // 9 ]
The female shinobi opened her eyes, looking once again at the glassy and still surface of the water that lay in front of her. She placed her hand lightly on it's surface, feeling the coolness and relaxation that it brought to her body. This would be the basis of any clan jutsu she would ever learn. Ice came from water, it was not something she could just magically make appear from thin air. [ 3 // 9 ]
Sonyo then moved on to trying to freeze some of the water. She took a deep breath and tried to mold her chakra in to a usable form in order to make the liquid in front of her turn solid. She felt a coolness around her hand as the water temperature dropped, and then continued to drop a bit more. However, Sonyo wasn't really any more successful than that; no ice had formed in this attempt. The female grumbled a bit, disgruntled that she had only managed to lower the temperature of the water and nothing else. [ 4 // 9 ]
Sonyo went through her previous preparation again, calming her mind and then clearing it, along with relaxing her body. She needed to reset herself and get rid of her frustration at not being able to create even a thin sheet of ice. She needed to be clear and white like freshly fallen snow, calm and collected. [ 5 // 9 ]
The female shinobi once again opened her eyes and placed her hand on the water. She molded her chakra and tried to freeze the water, believing in herself that she could do it this time. This time, Sonyo was able to create a small sheet of ice about the size of her hand. Her eyes widened and she make a happy noise, smiling brightly.She had done it! She had managed to create a small bit of ice! [ 6 // 9 ]
Moving in to a different position, Sonyo placed both hands on the ice this time in an attempt to create even more ice. she focused once again on her chakra and molded it, trying to create that perfect mixture of hypothetical clay. Her attempt this time was even more successful than the previous attempts, as she froze the entire top of the small pool of water. "I'm getting better at this.." The female said optimistically. [ 7 // 9 ]
Sonyo removed one hand from the ice and tried once again to mold some Hyouton ice. Once again her attempts were even more successful, and she was able to freeze the entirety of the small pool of ice. The female shinobi felt relief rush in to her, then happiness as she realized she had learned her first clan technique. She coughed and calmed herself down, rolling her shoulders lightly. Now the real test began, would she be able to replicate this result? [ 8//9 ]
Sonyo stood and walked to yet another small body of water and took a deep breath before placing her hands upon the surface of the liquid. She concentrated, then molded her chakra in to the water. A smile grew on her face as the water in front of her froze completely. To make sure, Sonyo even got up and stood on top of the icy surface. The female stepped off, and then went back to her books and opened them, figuring out what jutsu she would learn next. [ 9 // 9; Hyōton [ Ice Release ] Learned! ]

CURRENT JUTSU:: ❶ JUTSU NAME:: Hyōton [ Ice Release ] x ❷ JUTSU RANK:: D x ❸ JUTSU COST:: -10 x❹ JUTSU DESCRIP.:: The act of combining wind and water chakra in order to generate water-composed ice. This method can be performed on existing bodies of water, or by manipulating the minute amount of water molecules in the air, either way, it is an impressive and powerful feat that requires only a single hand. Ice created this way lays dormant- they are not attacks on their own. The ice created in this method is very compact, often melted only by fire and demon techniques three [3] ranks higher than them.
Sonyo soon found the next jutsu she would be learning, smiling brightly. Her eyes widened as she found a few other technique that she'd like to add to her arsenal. 'Who knew there were so many useful jutsu,' she though, placing the books down, 'I'm gonna have such a hard time figuring out just want I want to learn.'
Sonyo made a few hand seals with one hand and tried to pull the air in to a small swirling ball in front of her. She succeeded at first, but then the ball lost it's shape and dissipated. Sonyo huffed, crossing her arms for a moment, and looked back at the book again. After studying the book for a few moments, she straightened herself to try once more. She rolled her shoulders and made a few hand seals before trying once again. This time she made the ball of wind and was able to throw it, however she was caught off guard when it hit the training dummy for it exploded. Sonyo covered her mouth, looked around for anyone, then pretended it didn't happen. [ 1 // 1; 4 - 1 for bloodline, - 2 for classes, -1 for surroundings; Kaze Bakuhatsu [ Wind Explosion ] Learned! ]
Sonyo moved on to her next jutsu, taking her fan from her holster under her sleeve. With a quick flick of her wrist, the fan expanded outwards, showing a beautiful scene of a snowy landscape. The female let out a soft breath, channeling chakra in to the fan itself. She pulled it back and swung it forward towards a dummy, but was only rewarded with a slight puff of air. She pulled the fan back again, concentrating harder, before swinging the fan again. This time a tornado was whipped up as she did so, considerably knocking around and cutting up the dummy. Success! [ 1 // 1; -1 for bloodline, -2 for classes, -1 for surroundings; Kamaitachi no Jutsu [ Slashing Wind Skill ] Learned! ]
Sonyo sheathed her fan, then moved on to the next jutsu she wanted to learn. She closed her eyes, relaxing, and took a deep breath, before opening her eyes back up. She moved up to another dummy and got in to a stance, concentrating. She took practice hitting it first, landing a few punches on the inanimate thing. She took a step back and let down her arms. [ 1 // 2; -1 for bloodline, -2 for classes, -2 for surroundings ]
The female shinobi looked down at her arm and focused, channeling Fuuton chakra in to it. She focused for a few seconds, however the chakra weakened and she sighed, letting the jutsu go before trying again. She took a deep breath and channeled fuuton chakra in to her arm before punching the dummy as hard as she can. Sonyo's eyes widened as the dummy split in half, and then the top half fell to the ground. Sonyo looked at her arm, wide eyed.

Elizabeth walked into the room as the dummy fell in two. She smiled and moved up behind the girl, walking on the soft portions of her feet to try and keep the noise down. "Not bad. Dont let people get to you. Its not our fault we are chakra adept. We can still be useful anyway" She said with a happy voice, hugged the girl from behind and pranced off to find a few scrolls. (shadowing technique learned and used 1/1)
She snagged an old dust covered book off the shelf as she walked by, one she recognized in passing. She was finally allowed access to it. This being said she flicked through a few pages to grab a few fuinjutsu that caught her eye. There were at least two that she knew of off hand that she wanted. The battle array and a unnamed sealing technique were two off hand that she would be getting. ( 1 battlesealing 1 danzo's)
This being said she took out 4 slips of paper a brush, a bottle of ink and set them all on the table. Takeing her ink she dipped her brush into it and got started. She dragged the brush across the paper slowly, forming the kanji that was her practice surface. (2)
It was a painful process to get each form correct. Each twisting character on the page trying to take form and cause the jutsu to cook off all at once. She had to cancel the seal and take the chakra from it on multiple occasions or it could explode right there with her. (3)
She smiled as the kanji finally started to take form properly. She felt the chakra slip into the seals she was making and settle into a more stable form. She finally let out a held breath as she felt the chakra settle where it should. She stacked the papers and filled them with chakra, then put them in her pouch for future use. (Kekkai Houjin [ Barrier Method Battle Array ] learned)
Her paper away she had another seal that was a little trickier. This seal pushed the kanji through her chakra. This was a bit more difficult than she thought it would be. (2)
She had to manipulate her chakra in just the right manner and shape it to be tougher than it actually was. This was quite tricky but not impossible. She had the kanji form on the desk in front of her. (3)
She had the kanji for strength line the binding words along the entire length of the bonds. She smiled as it locked tight and the wood actually could be heard cracking a little bit. She settled her chakra and let it grip in nice and tight. (4)
Sonyo jumped and squeaked as she was hugged from behind, blinking and covering her mouth. She looked back at the lady as she worked on sealing jutsu, then smiled faintly. She was right, there was no need to be ashamed.. She was useful, and goddamn she'd be proud of her ability to use these mystical techniques.She turned back to her work.Sonyo looked at her book, then walked to one of the teachers in the academy to ask them i fshe could try a jutsu on them. The person nodded and Sonyo focused and then molded her chakra, reaching out and touching the teacher.... but nothing happened. [ 1 // 2 ]
The teacher leaned over and looked at the jutsu she was trying to learn and gave her a few pointers. He pointed out the things she was missing and pointers on how to focus better. Sonyo blinked, looking through the jutsu again, then concentrated again and reached up, touching the teacher again. This time the teacher froze and was unable to move, his entire body paralyzed. Sonyo let out a happy noise, and then thanked the person and then moved away to learn her other techniques. [ 2 // 2; Kanashibari no Jutsu [ Temporary Body Paralysis Technique ] Learned! ]
Sonyo studied what she needed to do for her next jutsu. She practice the hand seal first, making sure she got it down, repeating it over and over. She cracked her knuckles, then practiced molding her chakra in the way she'd have to in order to do this jutsu. It was different than most of the things she had tried up in till now, and it had a different basis for what she was doing. [ 1 // 2 ]
She then made the handseal and imagined the spot across the room, because she had to imagine the place before she could go there. However, she didn't go anywhere. She grumbled at her failure, then tried once again to use the jutsu. Surprisingly, she appeared at the other side of the room where she had imagined before hand. She blinked, then smiled. That was yet another jutsu down, and a lifetime more to go. [ 2 // 2; Shunshin no Jutsu [ Body Flicker Technique ] Learned! ]
The next jutsu was something Sonyo was really excited about. She had already learned a Nadeshiko style jutsu and she really liked them. They were really nifty and useful jutsus, and she would probably use many more of them. She studied the jutsu for a small while, then picked the kunais from her side. She took a deep breath, then relaxed; clearing her mind of all thoughts. She stood there for a few minutes, just focusing on the targets ahead of her, completely silent. She molded her chakra whilist still concentrating on the targets ahead of her, letting out slow and deep breaths. [ 1 // 3 ]
With a flick of her wrist, sonyo let go of the kunais situated between her fingers. The kunais sailed forward and buried themselves in to a surface... however not entirely where Sonyo wanted them. Some of the metal tools were buried in to the wall, others were buried in to different parts of the target.... one was even in the target beside the one she was aiming for. The female felt embarrassment rush through her, biting her lip as her face flushed red. She hadn't even really tried, how embarrassing... [ 2//3 ]
Sonyo walked over and took the kunai out of the wall and various targets, then walked back to her standing point. She took a deep breath, relaxing the muscles in her body, focusing more this time. She let out a few deep breaths, staying calm and collected. She flicked her wrist again, throwing the kunais in her hands towards the targets ahead of her. This time each Kunai hit its mark dead center. She smiled brightly, her attempt successful. [ 3 // 3; Nadeshiko-Ryū Shinku Enbu [ Nadeshiko-Style Deep Crimson Dance Performance ] Learned! ]
Sonyo walked back to her books and looked through them, lookign for one more jutsu to learn before she took a break, as she was getting kinda tired. Then she saw it, a jutsu utilizing her hair. It seemed fairly interesting to her and she could see how it could be used in the future. She read up on the jutsu and how to use it, studying the hand seals and the key points of the technique. This one would be kinda hard to learn, probably more difficult than what she had tried to learn previously. [ 1 // 5 ]
Sonyo walked to a calm place in the academy, still by the lady she had seen before, and sat down. She closed her eyes, concentrating on her chakra and nothing more. She let her muscles slowly relax and she became calm and collected. She imagined her chakra flowing in to her hair like a calm and cool river. The female slowed her breathing so that it was soft, yet deep. She reached a point of absolute calm and quiet, a meditative state she knew well. [ 2 // 5 ]
The female began to feel her hair grow, slowly but surely it expanded, gaining length. However, Sonyo couldn't get it more than an inch past it's shoulder blade length. Still, sonyo would not give up, she just kept focusing, willing her hair to grow longer. It finally began to listen to her. Her hair slowly grew past the middle of her back, then past her knees, then bundled around her. Sonyo stood, letting out a soft sigh, looking at her hair. [ 3 // 5 ]
Sonyo then focused on making her hair move. It was tough, it's not every day you have to move something on your body you never moved in your life. She started with the tip of her hair, twitching it, then slowly moved more of it. After a while she was able to actually wrap her hair around herself. However she had trouble actually making a cocoon out of it. After a few tries she was able to actually do it. She channeled more chakra in to it, and then spikes erupted from the silky surface of her hair as it hardened. She had her defense. [ 4 // 5 ]
To make sure that she can do it when she needed to, in a pinch, she quickly made the handseals, wrapping her hair around herself and hardening it, causing spikes to erupt from the surface once again. She smiled and let the jutsu go, sighing in relief. She then flopped down, exhausted. She was getting worn out. [ 5 // 5; Hari Jizou [ Underworld Guardian Spikes ] Learned! ]

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX A young green haired male walked into the academy, looking around at the various scrolls all neatly placed in cubbie holes, the two kunoichi in the distance training and working on their ninjutsu. Hiroto sighed as he saw them working hard to learn their techniques and knew that he too should start working on his techniques. The boy walked further into the academy and examined the scrolls on the shelves, thinking all the while as he did. [Hatsuyuki [ First Snow ] 1/4]
Hiro's hand moved to his pocket where he pulled out a scroll that his mother had given him, listing the secret techniques of the Shinsetsu clan. The boy closed his eyes, thinking back to when he watched his mother spar with other villagers. His mother had conjured a few torso sized clouds, allowing her very light protection and access to the rest of the clan techniques that she possessed. [Hatsuyuki [ First Snow ] 2/4]
Hiro nodded and opened his eyes. His mother used both of her hands to make the hand seals for the clan jutsu but Hiro wanted to try something. The boy from a young age thought that he could perform his clan faster and more effciently than his mother, or any other Shinsetsu he knew she secretly meeted with while he was to be asleep. Hiro took a deep breath and closed his eyes to focus. [Hatsuyuki [ First Snow ] 3/4]
Hiro opened his eyes and using one hand, made odd hand seals, holding the last one as the wind and water in the air condensed to make a single cloud. The cloud formed and grew to about the size of the boy's torso, thick in width but very fragile. Hiro drew the cloud in close and smiled, looking back down at the scroll. [Hatsuyuki [ First Snow ] 4/4 Learned!]
The boy smiled a bit at the cloud before gathering chakra in the palm of his hand. He looked to the cloud and placed his hand on it gently. As his hand touched it, a perfectly rounded snowball formed and launched out, smacking and shattering against the wall, leaving a spot. [Yukimari [ Snowball ] 1/1 Learned!]
Moving on through the scroll quickly, Hiro formed another Hatsuyuki cloud and held another hand seal. The first cloud soared up to the ceiling before breaking apart, causing a medium snowfall in the middle of the academy. Hiro stretched his hand out and caught a few flakes, smiling at their form holding on his cool skin.

Passives: Tsumetai [ Cold to the Touch ]: The skin of each Shinsetsu clan member is chilled; producing a refreshing, almost intoxicating aura. This aura does not stretch far from one's person, and only the Shinsetsu and those in direct contact with him/her can truly appreciate the feeling. Because of this attribute, humidity is a foreign concept to the Shinsetsu, and only the most extreme of heats will cause those within tsumetai's effect to break a sweat. Additionally, this consistent cold has weathered their skin and innards, providing an internal and external resistance to freezing temperatures. Although not exactly topical, it should be noted that thanks to their relaxing aura, the Shinsetsu are considered some of the most desirable lovers in the world.
Elizabeth smiled when it started snowing. "Oh thats pretty..." She said, catching a flake on her tongue and other pieces lighting on bits of exposed skin. "Oh thats actually cold. Ok need to focus, activity equals warmth.." She said calmly and set into her next few jutsu. She would be moving to other things soon but wanted to have a decent grasp on ninjutsu before she continued.
One of the two she had left that she wanted to learn was a barrier disruption technique. It was quite simple, just a guided bolt of energy that would be directed through other people and strengthen itself. The seals were simple and she smiled releasing the bolt of energy into the table. She cracked her fingers out of habit and smiled (1/1) (Kekkai Massatsu no Jutsu [ Barrier Shatter Technique ] learned)
The final jutsu she was going to learn was another one of little combat utility. The astral projection skill. This would at least allow for her to keep in touch with people in other places. Perfect for someone like her. (1/3) She looked at the seals required and they didnt seem that complicated. Most were basic a few were the more complicated ones but nothing beyond her reach. She slowly formed the seals and focused on the chakra formation. (2/3) As she formed the projection she had it walk over to the girl from earlier and peek her head just past her shoulder. "Hi there" She had the projection say before she let it dissipate. She was happy with its performance. (3/3) (Kozumikku Jigyou no Jutsu [ Astral Projection Skill ] learned.)
Liz had a few more things on her mind, most of them to do with puppetry. There were a few simple ones to be learned. One that let her use the chakra strings she got down with a simple flick of her hand, and another one that let her sever the wires if she was in a bind. As well as another simple one that would ( Kugutsu no Jutsu (Puppetry Technique)+Harigane Tachikiru (Forceful Severing of Wire)+Kuchiyose Kugutsu: Ichi (One) learned)
From there she moved on to slightly more difficult things. The next one was complex in theory but in practice was relatively simple. The jutsu in question involved traveling along a chakra string to a location she chose. (1/2)She focused her chakra and lashed a string to a random countertop across the room. Molding her chakra she felt herself squeeze into the string and just reappear next to that table. She was quite pleased with the jutsu to be honest. (2/2 Kugutsu: Shunshin no Jutsu [ Puppetry: Instant Movement Technique ] learned.)
Obviously the next step after learning to detach her strings from her puppet was to reattach them to a puppet. She didnt actually have any puppets now that she thought about it. (1/2)It wasnt difficult to do this. She pushed her hands back toward a wall and snapped five strings into place with no issues. She smiled at the development of her jutsu and cracked her fingers audibly. (2/2 Harigane Hajiku (Wire Snap) learned) At this point she decided to put down the puppetry scroll. There just wasn't much that she wanted at the moment from it.
She needed quite a bit of time for medical training and had a plan for a few different things. She didn't plan on being a actual medic, but a more effective killer. She had one that was a definite yes for her. It was called muscle shock and she could make it potent as hell. She focused her chakra to her hand and just watched. (1/1) She needed to work on her control. Pushing her chakra to her hand she made it focus and tighten in her palm. She wanted to master the control of this jutsu to maximum lethality. (2/1) She pushed and circulated her chakra more. Just letting the chakra dance wasnt enough, she needed it to be debilitating. (3/1)She was just over half way to where she wanted her jutsu. She wanted her target to shut down when touched. At least the jutsu was easy to refine. (4/1)She could feel the level of control building up just right for her. She would end up doing this with all her medical techniques as she shut her eyes and felt the chakra moving in that nice pleasant way. She was being wary of her own hands at this point, touching herself becoming a hazard. (5/1) She felt her control at the near perfect level for her jutsu and twisted it into a fine glove around her hand, the chakra glowing bright blue for the moment. She made it fade slightly and then shut her hand and her eyes, the jutsu fading but her smile ever present. She had mastered the technique. (6/1 Suji dageki [ Muscle Shock ]learned and retrained to +6)
The next jutsu was all about potency. Laughing gas as it were. She knew some mean things she could do with that. (1/1) According to the diagram in the scroll she was looking through the gas would intensify as you focused your chakra. It was an easy technique to do and she could get some pretty long lasting effects. So she pushed her chakra into the molecules. (2/1) She swirled her chakra in the air to stir it and made the gas dense. The air was thick and heavy with the stuff in that corner. She was quite glad it couldnt effect her. She made a point to open a nearby window while training this. (3/1) She felt sly in this manner, training such things. She made her chakra more and more dense in the cloud. She could litterally feel the potency in the air. (4/1) She could taste the chakra it was so heavy now. She had mastery of her technique within moments of starting it and the makings of a low ranking lethal jutsu. She stopped her technique and let the gas float out the window and into the sky. (5/1 Okashii Gasu [ Laughing Gas ] learned and retrained to +5)
She had a few others that she wanted to grab but honestly there were things that she remembered from her basic training under the uhv. She knew how to diagnose a wound for example. Or the ability to cleanse a wound with chakra. These were basics to her at this point. Then there was her resistance to poisons and disease as well as the ability to remove a foreign object from a wound. (assorted E ranks learned.)
Coming back to her spot after a brief break she secluded herself in a corner to play with her gear. She pulled out a long dart rifle from under a cloak and lay it down on the floor and immediately threw up an visual barrier in front of the thing. That is to say she covered her entire working area with a tarp. She spent the next several hours disassembling and reassembling her gear, cleaning it and learning the ins and outs of the insides. (Several training coupons used. Cleared with wolfe. removed as nessisary. All on formless ranks up to A rank on the highest.)
Sonyo jumped and squeaked once again, the lady having startled her with the jutsu she used. The female puffed her cheeks, holding her breath for a few seconds before letting it go and letting out a soft sigh. She looked to the other female, giving her a light wave, before making her way out of the academy and off to go a mission.
"The gentlest of snowfalls can become the raging blizzard."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Hiro watched the pair continue their training, enjoying the medium snowfall as he sat down and watched. After a short while, the first female waved and left the academy while leaving the energetic one alone in the academy. He stood up and dusted the considerable amount of snow on his body before approaching her, his cloud close to him as he pressed his hand against the cloud towards her, hitting her with a snowball and laughing lightly.

Techniques Used: Yukimari [ Snowball ] Rank: E — Chakra Description: A very simple technique that, on its own, has little battle purpose. The Shinsetsu presses either hand against their Hatsuyuki cloud, pulses chakra out of their palm, and causes a perfectly tight and round hand-sized ball to launch from it. Items and small weapons can be hidden within the snow before it is fired, increasing the lethality of a Yukimari proportionately to what it holds.
Back to the Academy once again, Sonyo made her way inside. She looked briefly at the two shinobi who were still here before looking around for any clues as to where Ms. Yura could be. This was the last place mentioned in the note Sonyo was gripping in her hand. Could she be too late, maybe? Could Ms. Yura be badly hurt, or maybe even worse, killed? She hoped not..

I Tortured Sleep I
A book lay splattered face down on the ground in the library, off in a dark corner on the second floor that was rarely visited. The section was marked as 'History' high overhead, but only a few meters down the hall from it was the general crafts section. The title of the book was 'Fuuin and its Impacts on Woven Materials'. Underneath the book lay a pair of broken reading glasses and a small silver skeleton key. Engraved on the very tip of the key was the word 'Nobody's'. Question is, what do all of these mean? Did Lady Yura find out something that nobody should have found? With the general distrust between the main UHV forces and the shinobi squads, there were plenty of potential perpetrators.
Sonyo spotted the book and walked over to it, reading the title of it before picking up the glasses and the key... This whole thing sure had a lot to do with Fuuinjutsu, maybe the kidnapper had something against it? She pocketed the key to show to Mr. Skelly later and then started flipping through the book. Not only did it interest her as she hoped to be a tailor herself, but also because it might have clues as to where Ms. Yura went or at least what she was looking for. It was most likely a place, since there was a the skeleton key.
"C'mon Ms. Yura.. Tell me where you went so that I can find you.. You have to have left a trail somewhere, something I can pick up.. I can't just go everywhere opening doors, hoping you're there.. Why would anyone come after you? What did you do?"
Elizabeth jumped as she was startled, and her chair toppled backwards scattering her scrolls and things she had to work with. She looked over towards the direction that she was hit from and saw the shinobi laughing at her a bit. "Laugh it up ya cheeky ********..." She muttered under her breath. She got back up and brushed the snow off her body. She seemed to be in good spirits anyway and a few flakes of snow clung to her body.
A small note dropped out from the book as Sonyo flipped through the pages. Although an experienced Jounin in the arts of Fuuin might be able to eventually decipher the note, a legible thought was written in the corner: "Why is there an abandoned home in the middle of a bustling, overcrowded city?" The UHV use all buildings, all the time, without reserve to whom it belongs or had belonged to in the past, and yet this singular place is as silent as a ghost town? This doesn't add up...
The female shinobi carefully studied the small amount of sript in the corner of the page. An abandoned home? Was Ms. Yura maybe there? The name on the key finally made sense, "Nobody". Nobody lived in an abandoned home.. but where was there a vacant place in Otogakure? .. There was one place that Sonyo could think of, which was the old estate that had laid abandoned for years now.. Maybe there she could find more answers, or possibly the woman she was looking for. Sonyo made her way back to the entrance of the academy and rushed out, making her way to the estate.
Sonyo walked in to the academy and instantly went to someone and asked them if she could use them for a moment in order to learn some genjutsu. The reluctantly accepted, and Sonyo apologized before hand for any mental stress or damages done from any of them. She walked to the books in the library and picked out a few of them before returning to the person. She looked through them for a little bit before settling on one and taking a deep breath. She asked the person if they were ready, and when given a nod, Sonyo nodded and covered her face with her hands, activating the genjutsu she was learning. When she uncovered her face, her visage looked that of a monster; her face was now replaced with a pale mask with three abnormally large red eyes and a smile larger than what is counted as normal, with serrated teeth lining her mouth. She knew she was successful when the person stumbled back, screaming. She dispelled the genjutsu and assured them everything was okay. [ 1 / 1; Kowaikao no Jutsu [ Scary Face Technique ] Learned! ]
Sonyo moved on to the next technique, reading a bit more about it before she started to try to preform it. She stood there for a second, trying to work out how to use the jutsu before looking at the person across from her. She began to speak to the person, telling them that she was sorry and she hadn't meant to scare them. She saw the eyes of the male narrow and his head move forward slightly, and then him turning his head, as if he was having troubles hearing her. He stuck a finger in his ear as the static noise ringing in his head began to get louder and louder, and eventually the male was gripping at his ears shouting to try and get Sonyo's attention. Sonyo let go of the genjutsu and the boy sighed in relief. Sonyo let out a nervous laugh, then continued on. [ 1 / 1; Kuuden [ Static ] Learned! ]
Sonyo moved on to her next genjutsu of choice, checking out the correct information she would need in order to preform the jutsu. She first imagined what the effect would look like in her head, narrowing her eyes slightly. She imagined what you vision shattering would look like, where the breaks would be, how things would be fractured. Once she had the image in mind she tried the jutsu itself, but nothing happened. The male she was testing on just shrugged at her as if to say sorry. [ 1 / 2 ]
The female shinobi tried once again to cast the genjutsu, faster this time. Maybe she had done it too slow previously. She quickly made the hand seals, making sure the male across from her could see it, and then activated the jutsu. The male made a startled noise and stumbled back a bit, blinking a few times. She could tell he was disoriented and confused and he gave her a thumbs up. Sonyo bounced happily and dispelled the genjutsu before excitedly looking through the book again.

Sonyo read up on her next jutsu carefully; it especially interested her because of her bloodline. This jutsu was used to chill people to the bone, and had almost everything to do with coldness and ice; Sonyo's specialty. Sonyo walked up to the male, imagining the way that the cold would feel, how it would fill his every bone and every follicle. She stopped in front of him and took a deep breath, channeling her chakra. She placed her hands on him and focused hard, and managed to get the effects, however she wanted to learn how to start the effects as soon as she touched him so she pulled her hands back. [ 1 / 2 ]
Sonyo focused once more, tapping the boy's shoulder. He would feel a slight cold there that would make the male cold almost instantly. She waited a few second before the male started to shiver uncontrollably, and she let him sit for a while before breaking the genjutsu and starting all over again. She backed up and then lunged at him, tapping his chest before skipping back once more. The boy began to shiver almost instantaneously, and Sonyo broke the jutsu before too much damaged was done. [ 2 / 2; Magen: Chirudo Tamashii [ Demonic Illusion: Chilled Soul ] Learned! ]
Sonyo then moved on to her next and final jutsu, taking time to study this one extra carefully. She practiced manipulating her chakra in to illusions around the man, trying to make an illusion that would make him believe that he was chained to the ground. Sonyo was getting more used to manipulating her chakra in this way now that she had practiced it enough. The female narrowed her eyes to focus better then called off the illusions. [ 1 / 2 ]
Sonyo then worked on activating the jutsu in question on the male, humming in a single tone and moving her arms in a hypnotic way. she did this for a small amount of time in till the boy seemed to daze off. In reality he would be seeing ice slowly creeping up his body, binding him in place. Sonyo could only imagine what it felt like, slowly not being able to do anything. She cut off the genjutsu, then thanked the boy before sending him off. [ 2 / 2; Nouzui Momiryouji [ Brain Massage ] Learned! ]
