"Yeeeah good job!”

The cloaked chuunin claps again, the balanced doomstar wobbling some on her shoulder. The huge thing seemed dangerous, but with distance between herself and any bystanders she never had a worry. It stabilized once she stops clapping, and instead her left arm points up at Taki.

"Watta nuthin’.” she says, then snorts a little laugh. That accent was just too much fun. "You can do that with more than your feet. Stick to stuff with your elbows. Your back. Walk on your hands, up a tree and across a ceiling. Stick to anything.. So.. Use your hands.”

Her grin grows a little broader. "The water walking comes pretty easy with some practice of the roof walking. I mean.. They’re really the same jutsu, just ones what you grow into once you mater the first steps. Just instead of only having to support your own weight, you’re constantly shifting how your chakra is balanced, like leaning your body when you skate. Constant adjustments I don’t think you can really teach.

You just feel em, ya know? Know how to lean, know where to put chakra, know when to use it softer or harder, it’s just knowing when and how to adjust. It’s just.. Something you do pretty naturally once you get used to standing on ceilings.”

That draws another nod from her. Made sense to her. Splitting the two jutsu had always been odd in her mind, but there were some… very minor differences she supposed.
