The events that had occurred at the start of this operation had certainly been more than intense. Despite having successfully stopped an attempt at theft from bandits wishing for a quick buck, things within the temple had been more than a bit tense. The researchers seemed almost on edge, and she couldn't really blame them for being so. A near death experience and perhaps assault from armed forces, any rational person would have cleared out of here, despite having such dedicated protection. Of course, after reporting the events to her father, it seemed that she was to remain on site for the remainder of the mission. It was certainly the move she'd make, so she had no complaints. After all, with what she saw from Kazuto, he seemed like the kind of person that needed a counter balance. "Right...thanks Dad..." Placing the arrived scroll within her hand, she'd sign off on her response, handing it back to the messenger hawk, stroking it's head with her fingertip before gently feeding it a bit of bird as she sent it off into the sky. "MAKE SURE HE FEEDS MY DOGS!!" Yelling out in it's departure, the young woman would look over the site once more, seeing the individuals hard at work as she began to walk around once more. She likely needed to check in with Kazuto to see what needed to be looked over, but from her previous patrol, nothing seemed out of sorts this time around. Perhaps things had turned around and they would all be able to get outta here with no further issues.

He had gotten used to the sound of pickaxes, shovels and the sound of earth and stone turning. The murmur of researchers and archeologists as they carried on and the excited sounds as someone found a new breakthrough or found a tomb that had not being mapped. He kept his watch, his stare making the head researcher feel uneasy at his presence, forcing the older man to carry on and continue with their work on the scroll that they had found. They had spoke a few times since the battle and the deaths of the thieves that had been hired by who knew whom. That was fine, he guessed. Kazuto and Arashi did little to meddle with their employers, keeping mostly to themselves as they would concentrate to keeping the security. With that in mind, Kazuto had deployed his wolves, the summons going around in a perimeter in the jungle, trying to sniff the scent of someone or something that might not have been in place. Clone of his had occasionally taken overwatch positions overlooking the entire dig site and then looking outside into the jungle, trying to detect any movement that might not be his wolves or even the sand of her teammate. The Senju did that now, looking over the camp on the improvised watch tower that he had created through his wood release abilities, leaning against the railing, only turning to see the steps of the Sunagakure nin behind you. He gave her a thin smile, having come to enjoy the sense of comradery that had grown between them. "Good news from home, I hope?" He asked, as she returned, probably from receiving and sending messages from Sunagakure, perhaps something from her father. "Or is the content a secret that would result in my death if you were to share it?" He suggested in an amused tone.

"Oh I am the last person to be playin snitch against someone....I just wrote a report back home on the events so far...the return response was for me to remain to ensure that things remain....peaceful...so ya stuck with me..." Leaning up against the wall, Arashi would smirk before then rubbing the back of her neck. It looked as though the dig was progressing. Which meant who knew what laid deeper within. In the end, it would hopefully provide a means of further relations between the three groups involved. At the very least, it was a crossing bridge that could be extended with the security of these men and women who still remained under their care. Not only that, but the secrets that they found as well very well allow for a continued olive branch with the Uzumaki clan. However scattered they may be. "Looks like things are progressing here....have they found anymore scrolls?" Arashi attempted to act as though she weren't curious, but the adventurer in her was hard to ignore. With things having settled down, she did manage to get some time within the temple and exploring the ruins that laid within. It was possibly the most glorious thing she had ever laid eyes on. She had even gotten the chance to work on tracings from some of the inscriptions on the walls. A true keeper for her scrapbook at home. "Not that its important I mean...their safety...way more importantpleasetellmeIcanseethemduringmybreaktime?" Her eyes widened a bit as she said this, leaning in close for a moment before turning her attention back toward what was likely news of their findings coming their direction, her arms crossed over her chest before then coughing into her fist.

"You're not bad company." Kazuto said with a shrug. They had gone through discussions about patrols more often than not, but when whenever they had their opportunity during the moments they could share a meal over he had found that whilst they didn't have much in common they could appreciate the interests of the other and even had allowed themselves a few jokes. That was good. Keeping the morale was good for a shinobi, the time away could destroy the confidence shinobi had and he was content to know that both of them had not allowed themselves to be dragged into missing their homes too much. Once she had asked about if they had made a breakthrough, Kazuto could only shake his head. "Found another tomb, some scrolls but nothing close to the scroll we retrieved... Our head research doesn't particularly likes me, I think." He said as he straightened his shoulders and stretched before he would lean back on again. Then again he couldn't completely blame the man for that. He had made a mess of the thieves that had com. He supposed that he would've been more careful and had disposed the enemies but they didn't had much margin of error to work out there. He'd simply kept his distance and let the man do his work so he would do his. And as much as he didn't like it, he had come to understand that their presence was there for their security. As he would turn to speak to her, her speech turned from a recognizable patterns to an almost incomprehensible jumble collection of words that made him blink for a few seconds until his features softened into a soft smile. "Is that how you speak to your father to convince him? Does it ever work?" He said before returning his gaze to the dig site, noting as how a group seemed to be heading with the findings to a tend whilst other went to the improvised mess hall. "You may go, who knows, possibly our lead will tell you how things are going, he seems to like you the most."

Although the sudden ambush and thievery caused some worry, things would go back to normal as the shinobi hired dealt with the surprise attack. The head researcher would grumble at the damage inside and bark even more orders at his subordinates. Time had been wasted dealing with the thieves and he wanted to make sure everything was back on schedule.

Arashi and Kazuto would patrol for the next few hours, looking for anything suspicious. As they waited, the only thing they would hear would be the banging of tools and random yelling coming from within. Most of the shouting coming from the head researcher himself. Kazuto’s clones and wolves would sometimes notice various animals moving nearby, but upon investigation they would realize that they were just normal wildlife. No enemies would be hiding in wait, causing the group to resume their patrolling.

Things would seem fine for the time being until a little while later. The head researcher would leave the entrance of the temple and look around in confusion. From their position, Kazuto and Arashi would notice him talking to all of his employees while occasionally tossing a glance to and fro. It seemed that a problem had cropped up.

"That and I bat my eyes really hard and give em the puppy dog look...melts like butter..." With a smirk on her face, Arashi would grin as she prepared to leave to check them out. If anything, this was one chance that she couldn't pass up. There was no telling when she might ever get to see such ancient scrolls up close again. The last one hadn't even touched her hand, having to be returned quickly to the researchers for security reasons. Them having them out at the moment meant that she could at least take a passing glance without getting into too much trouble. Though just as she began to walk away, she'd not the strange expression coming from the Head Research as he emerged out from the entrance. He looked to be in a bit of a fit, or at the very least nervous about something. Seeing this as a possible problem, she'd gently nudge Kazuto as she nodded her head in their direction. "Never mind...I guess I won't get to check those scrolls out after all...our employer looks like he might have a problem..." Her tone was soft, yet she'd let the older shinobi judge for himself. If he began to make his move toward them, Arashi would be right behind them, prompting her to rest her hands within her pockets as she listened in. Of course, as she waited, she'd begin to think on the chance that something could have happened within the temple itself? Was it a collapse of foundation? They were using a lot of tools. Not to mention with the events of last time, it could have done something that might have damaged the place completely.

"That doesn't bode well..." Kazuto said as he would raise to his full height at the look at the head researcher, his expression changing as he looked around. Something had happened, the Senju realized and the fact that his wolf had not howl as they continued their patrols meant that it was either an accident or someone or someone had made a form of sabotage. He didn't want to put hypothesis without any actual evidence. He needed to talk to the man and began to walk down the stairs of the watchtower that he had created. "Follow me." He told Arashi and marched down to where the Head Researcher was. Surrounded by some of his leads, the head researched seemed to be exasperated. Annoyed at something or someone. Kazuto and Arashi would stand behind them before he would shake his head and force hi way through the group as eyes would look upon both shinobi and he would place his hand on the head researchers shoulder. The man would flinch, looking at him with scared eyes before he would release a deep sigh, nervous, but steady. The same look that he had assumed with Kazuto remained but whatever defiance had they would die soon. "What happened?" Kazuto asked softly, demanding but doing so in a more suggesting tone. His green eyes scanning at the figures of researches, archeologists and other type of workers looking at him as if they were scared to tell him what had actually happened. "Well? What happened? Or will you not speak to me?" Kazuto said as he would look at Arashi, a quizzical look settling about his features, he crossed his arms before looking ahead as he saw his cloned deployed above still in watch over the dig site before returning his gaze to the man before him, the head researcher.

Senju Kazuto Oonakayama Arashi

Shrugging Kazuto’s hand off his shoulder, the head researcher would rub his eyes and let out a long sigh before speaking.

"Gin’s missing. Don’t know if you remember, but you talked to him for a brief moment. No one has seen him in hours. Not sure if that means he was kidnapped, or he just left.”

The researchers nearby would nod their heads in agreement as their boss explained to Kazuto what had happened.

"Where was he last seen again?”

One of the younger female researchers would reply after getting a nudge from their friend, looking around nervously before speaking.

"Uh it was when those ruffians were trying to destroy the temple. He organized some of the scrolls for a little bit before returning back to his post.”

Upon hearing this set of news, the head researcher would physically recoil and look upon the speaker in astonishment.

"Is there a reason you chose to omit this particular piece of information when I asked everyone where he was about an hour ago? And why the hell did you let him touch the scrolls? He didn’t even have clearance!”

Waving his hand frustratedly at his subordinate, the head researcher turned back towards the entrance as the woman looked down in embarrassment. It only took a few moments of walking back before the older man arrived by the table where some of the more important scrolls were being stored. Rummaging through the ones on the desk and in the drawers, the head researcher would let out another groan before turning to Kazuto and Arashi.

"Gin took the scrolls. Some of the more esoteric ones are gone, and there’s no way they’re misplaced. Those particular ones are quite important. He wasn’t even supposed to be in this section for goodness sake. The incompetence I have to work with.”

Hearing her boss’s frustrated shout from a distance, the woman who had been berated would clutch her hands tightly before attempting to return to her work. Judging from the streaks of water now running down her face, it didn’t seem like she was successful at her designated task.

If Kazuto or Arashi chose to question the nearby researchers, they would note that Gin’s station was situated close to the forest. None of them had seen him leave, so they weren’t sure what direction he might have fled in. North, South, East, West, and the areas in between. Some were more unlikely than others, but the longer they took to figure out where the missing researcher went, the farther he got away. It was time to track Gin down.

"Yea...I'm definitely not gonna be seein those scrolls....good grief..." Placing her hand upon her forhead, the Sunagakure nin would continue to listen to the details of just what had happened, learning from the head researcher that apparently one of his own named Gin had managed to organize the scrolls before disappearing back to his post. It seemed a bit odd, but then again, maybe that was the moment in which he took them. Sadly, Arashi couldn't exactly smell the man out if she hadn't run into them. Clearly upset at the lack of candor from his team, it seemed that the suspect was indeed Gin as he walked back to the table where the scrolls were supposed to be, leaving Arashi to lean upward toward Kazuto with a calm expression. "Theres a look that says, 'I'm pissed off' " Which was indeed the truth, as the older male's groan and response to the missing scrolls came to no surprise as he spoke in their direction on the matter. Though looking over at the messenger of the bad news, it was certain that she was just as fearful of either the outburst. Or was it somethin else? Assume everyone is suspect...at least until proven innocent... With the value of the missing scrolls noted, the young woman would then place her hand upon her hip, looking over toward the side as she sighed. "I'll question the other researchers and see if I can learn somethin bout the location of this post of Gin's. Ya got the paw power to extend the search further out, if I learn anything on where it is..I'll let ya know through the comm...but we should probably get to it before they get too far out..."

"Probably not..." Kazuto would agree with Arashi. He closed his eyes and rubbed the eyelids with index and thumb as he tried to go through all the information that had been available to him. He released a sigh before crossing his arms before his chest, opening his eyes and lookin at the researchers before placing his sights on Arashi. "My wolves will continue running around the perimeter." Kazuto announced to her and the rest as his features hardened and his tone took a more resolute tone. "No one enters, no one leaves. Not without my knowledge and permission." He told them all, he would have to do all he could to begin plugging the gaps that caused the leaks in the dig site. "Arashi, if you may, can you use your sand to detect movement outside the dig site?" He asked the Suna nin. It would be good just to set up a redundant measure to reassure that no one was just leaving and going. He would then turn to the head researcher and the rest of archeologists as they seemed to converse among themselves, trying to figure out why Gin had just vanished, taking scrolls with him. Of course he would remember him, after all, it ward hard to forget a man that seemed to be so antagonistic. "You told me he was a new addition..." He said, recalling the short conversation they had during the early crisis with the thieves and then remembering the interaction before he had decided to leave into the ruins as he baited those that lurked outside of the camp. "Now, you will tell me where his tent, personal effects and research material is." Kazuto said in a quiet tone. If he was going to locate him, then he would require some form of clues and leads to find him. "And you will tell me if he had done anything unusual in the past few days." Kazuto told the man.

Senju Kazuto Oonakayama Arashi

As Arashi conversed with the other researchers, she would find out the exact location of Gin’s post. If she chose to head there, she would find a clean work area with various writing utensils and papers laid out neatly in a pile. Underneath all of this would be a small rug that Gin no doubt sat upon as he attempted to translate the words that were on the ancient scrolls.

Scanning through the papers wouldn’t tell Arashi where Gin had gone, but she would notice something interesting. On top of one of the pages would be a list of the scrolls he was attempting to translate, and it wouldn’t take long for Arashi to find a trend. All the scrolls that were asterisked were esoteric and hypothesized to contain more dangerous elements than the usual scrolls. Some that had already been partially translated spoke of the beginnings of how to craft an explosive of large proportions. Things that would be quite dangerous in the wrong hands.

After her examination of Gin’s research area, more conversations with the other researchers would allow Arashi to get a better understanding of the nearby area. Towards the north and west, the area eventually opened up into mountains and steep hills. While the south and east would lead to an enormous forest. The question was, which path would Gin have chosen to take?

Pointing to an area to the east, the head researcher showed Kazuto where Gin’s temporary lodgings had been. Arashi was already examining Gin’s research, so that part of the search was covered.

"He hadn’t done anything too unusual to be honest. He was quiet and reserved, like most new researchers so I had no reason to suspect him.”

Judging from the head researcher’s words, it seemed that Gin was quite experienced in subterfuge. If Kazuto and Arashi hadn’t shown up when they did, even more scrolls would have been stolen by the missing man. Thankfully their arrival had forcibly pushed his plans up, making him lose out on some of the more valued scrolls.

Clothes and various blankets would be situated in neat piles inside of Gin’s tent when Kazuto arrived. Judging from how his workspace and his rest area were weirdly organized, it could be assumed that the man liked it when everything was orderly. Although him being organized actually worked against him in this moment, because as Kazuto looked around, it was clear to see there were several things missing. Bags perhaps? His sudden disappearance had been planned, the Senju could tell that much. 

Rummaging through the clothes wouldn’t find the older man much but random scraps. The papers that could be seen only showed translations and notes about various artifacts. And while that was interesting, Kazuto wasn’t here for a history lesson. He needed something more.

Thinking back on his past experiences dealing with such foes, Kazuto would begin searching the more unusual places for clues such as the inside of Gin’s pillows and some of the folded notebook paper situated inside of the notebook. It would take him a decent chunk of time going through everything, but his perseverance and keen mind would eventually be rewarded. This wasn't his first rodeo hunting for clues, and it showed.

Opening the paper he found folded inside of the pillow itself, Kazuto would glance at the words within. Weirdly enough, most of the passage was nonsensical and the only thing the Senju could get from it was something about an encompassing forest. Below the passage was a strange symbol. A white skull with lines on the bones and piercing red eyes. Clearly important, but Kazuto was still missing pieces of the puzzle, so he wouldn’t know what to make of the symbol for now.

"Right...should be fun...ish..." Arashi would allow the sand within her gourd to begin rising from it's container, allowing it to spread within a wide field as it floated off in various location. The distance was limited, but she imagined if anything was off, she'd come in contact with it. If anything else, it could help confirm just what it was that was out of place. Still, with Kazuto seeming to be focused on the head researcher, the young shinobi would decide to follow her own instincts in this moment, looking over Gin's post upon getting confirmation of it's location. Not like he said for me NOT to do this...besides...what can it hurt to get some more intel on this guy? Plus, she was more than able to do two things at once, allowing her senses to be aware of the objects her sand was colliding into their, the passages they could swiftly squeeze into. Though from what she could see from the notes presented upon his workstation, there was little use in hoping that he was close by. If anything, if there was any indication from his translations and the page that was most present, he would be trying to get as far away as possible. "Oh shit...." Her tone shifted upon lifting up the notes, looking over their details as she got the jest of what might be happening. Gin was looking into taking on the most prominent of the scrolls, one that seemed to sway more toward destruction and elements that could do harm. Explosive if left to just anyone. But who would want that? Not to mention, why? Still shifting through the information, she'd reach her hand up toward her ear piece, prompting her to speak as she continued to read. "Hey...I might have something...Gin was looking into crafting Fuuinijutsu that could have major consequences..ones that end in explosions and well...bad shit..." Setting the notes down, she'd move on to further her own outlook, speaking to the other researchers as to hopefully learn more. The conversation with the rest of the team helped to at least narrow down possible locations, though it wasn't much in terms of a pinpoint guess of where to go. "I got two different locations....One is the mountains to the north, and the second is a large forest area. Considering if he's planning to blow up something, distance would likely be critical to make sure ya didn't go up with it...." In speaking into the comm once more, she'd begin to make her way back toward where the researchers were, wondering if Kazuto got all that. If anything, she might need to stay behind as a means to prepare a defense. But then again, what were the chances of him coming back? "We might need to assume that Gin isn't doing this alone though....or maybe that he got scared and started to try and cover his tracks...any of that do anything for ya?" Resting her hand within her pocket, she'd release a breath before letting her gaze shift from one side to the next. "Either way....those scrolls shouldn't be left out there for too long..."

"It is possible." Kazuto concluded, agreeing of what Arashi had proposed as he stared at the clue that he had found, trying to consider what if anything this meant until his companion spoke and he turned to face her, providing with information that she had deduced from the scraps. His eyes would continue to analyze what had been it was presented to himself, when she mentioned the possibilities of destruction and then a forest or a mountain he connected what he had gathered with what Arashi had brought front from her own deductions. "If what this paper says is true, then I will have to say that it is the forest he's heading to." He added as he would consider the information. All that they had found seemed to suggest that if the man was going into the forest and that he had been playing with something that could surpass his abilities. Or as Arashi was suggested, the man was working with someone. Of that, he considered the former was the most likely. Truthfully they were sitting in a treasure trove of information, with time they could've scrutinize everything and then deduce who he was working with, if he was working with someone. Time however was something they seemed to lack. "Agreed. Priority one is recover the scrolls, if possible we want to keep Gin alive for questioning." He announced, to Arahi and the head researcher. Still they could not just follow the leads without being certain that the place they were going was the correct one. He brought his thumb to his mouth and bit the skin, producing a rivulet of blood that he promptly spread over his palm, quickly he wove hand seals and slammed his hand against the floor and as the haze dissipated a large white wolf would appear, yellow eyes looking at him before she would open her snout and speak as clearly as a human. "Kazuto-san." She said with a curt nod. "How may I assist you today?" "Asari, I require you to pick a trail, make sure our information leads us to our quarry." Kazuto replied before the wolf nodded again and began to sniff about the tent, trying to pick up any scent.

CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low - Very High depending on summon.
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 5
DESCRIPTION:
One of the most common and beneficial techniques in the known shinobi world. Simply drawing blood and releasing a mass of chakra from one's extended hand is capable of calling an animal or otherwise to one's location. As a Space-Time Ninjutsu, this technique is capable of instantly displacing an intended summon from wherever they may be to the requested location, though there are obstacles that can prevent this. To use this jutsu, one must first make a contract with whatever they are summoning, living creature or not. Both the size and the stamina of what a shinobi calls upon increases the demand of chakra they must spend to perform the jutsu.

SA Used:

Might of Heroes


Descendant of a great lineage, the blood of great and legendary heroes of the clan courses through the veins of Kazuto as they do with any other Senju. As such he has been bestowed with robust pools of chakra upon his birth. Through intense training and countless missions these pools of chakra have expanded quite considerably, becoming a Furnace of Might within him, allowing him to fight for longer periods of time and casting powerful techniques without much concern to run out of stamina. Although this chakra makes his control suffer, his impressive reserves make up for this deficit in control.

Paragon of War

His mind is as keen and sharp as blade recently sharpened by a whetstone. Through the learning of tactics, records, on field experience and on the fly ingenuity, the Senju is able to plan before, during and after a fierce fray. It is thanks to this that he can discern the correct course of action and what stratagems and actions should he take. He is able to read and keep the Flow of Battle as flexible as possible. His tactics range from the most subtle ambush within dark corridors to even the most brutal and grim battlefield.

Fell-Handed

After much study and training, Kazuto achieved the ability to weave hand seals and cast techniques with just One Hand. A rare skill among shinobi and a sign of great prowess, the Senju is able to form hand signs forgoing the need to bring the digits of both his hands together, he is able to string a number of techniques without worrying during a fray to be unable to complete techniques if someone targets his hand, as he is able to defend himself with the off-hand by either the use of a technique or by wielding a weapon.

The only information she would be able to confirm was that Gin definitely was no longer nearby, providing more evidence to the theory that he had bolted the moment he got what he was looking for.

It would only take Asari a few moments of sniffing around before locking on to Gin’s scent. Turning towards the forest, the wolf would walk around for a few more minutes before notifying Kazuto that Gin’s scent was headed south. She would also note that his scent was mixed in with more earthy smells. As for what that meant for the group, they would have to figure it out on the run. The longer they waited, the more distance Gin gained.

If Kazuto and Arashi proceeded to journey south, their vision would be encompassed by a mixture of greens and browns. Enormous hulking trees would cover the area and thick gnarly branches would block out most of the sky, leaving the only visible light dotted and patterned. Kazuto himself would feel right at home as he traversed the trees, due to being a Konoha ninja. On the ground would be various mushrooms and fungus sprawled about the dirt. All in all it would resemble a forest untouched by human hands.

Although the sun was still shining outside, inside of the forest the lighting would be dim, casting long shadows on the ground. While it did cool down the group, it also made figuring out where Gin has gone a hassle. At least if they were looking for his footprints. Thanks to Asari, the duo would make considerable time in following Gin by tracking down his scent. They knew where he was going, now all they had to do was catch up.

[Oonakayama Arashi]

Red Herring TAG.Wynne Senju Kazuto WORDS.  NOTES.

Though Arashi was unable to get a reading upon the whereabouts of Gin, they had at least gotten a good idea of just what to expect from his character. He was acting on his own benefit and likely trying to cross enough ground to get away from the scene of his crime. Time was indeed of the essence, though it seemed that Kazuto was just as much aware of this as she was. With the summoning of a wolf to his side, the girl would blink before then crossing her arms as she tilted her head slightly. "Starting to wish I brought my canines for this.." With this brief thought pushed to the side, it seemed that the wild canine had found the scent of their target, prompting them to need to head south. "Looks like she has a hit...shall we go find the sneaky researcher/criminal?" With a smirk on her face, Arashi was ready to go, and unless Kazuto wanted her to lean back to remain at the camp, she'd be ready to follow him into the wilderness to pursue. After all, it was possible that whomever the man was dealing with, likely would be waiting for him in that location. Which meant either shinobi or bandits. Either way, while she was certain that Kazuto could handle it, she wasn't much for sitting on the sidelines. "Or I can wait here...personally though...I'd prefer to tag along with someone who isn't a wooden copy...more conversational works best next to sign language...just sayin..." SPOILER: Click to show -S.A Used- Ultimate Defense A Skill granted by her continued use and developed relationship with Shukaku over the continued use of his control over sand, Arashi has a stronger connection to the element, allowing her to use it at a much more intensive rate than before. As such, her defenses are much more adapt and capable of taking on stronger attacks and reinforcing itself at faster speed. This adaptation to the sand shield allows for it's reaction time to have increased and make it more challenging for attacks to connect and break through the first layer, while acting still on the natural inclinations of auto-repairing itself for the next strike. Hunter's Instinct With her training from her mother, along with the lessons she learned from her time with the Saeko's Clan, Arashi adapted her tracking ability to a level similar to that of a sensory nin. As such, allowing her much more precision in her ability to find and keep on the heels of individual targets or groups through use of her enhanced sense of smell and ability to identify individuals and objects at long range. Will of Sand Will of Sand- Adding the element of her own chakra into the mixture of sand, Arashi is capable of faster and stronger sand manipulation and attacks. The extent of this control is due to the supply gathered within her gourd, granting the bonus of power, but limited to only the amount contained within it. This ability makes her constructions more dense and harder to break down, and the swiftness of their creation is instant rather than requiring the prior time of build-up as before due to the strengthened bond between Arashi and Shukaku. -Jutsu Used- NAME: Sunano Senshingu[ Sand Sensing] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: By dispersing chakra enhanced sand into a specific area, the user is able to discern the presence of bodies that come into direct contact with it. This sensing sand can be spread across a wide terrain of 100 feet, or even float in the air allowing aerial foes to be detected for an extended range of 150 feet due to it's lack of being stationary. Once the sand comes in contact with a person, it will wrap itself around them, rendering even invisible targets, visible. -Items Used-
