One Last Time TAG. WORDS. xxx NOTES:Following an unexplained emotion, Arashi makes her way out into the desert to where she lost Akira, only to find something more pressing awaiting her...

The winds within the area seemed less harsh, or perhaps she was making it that way. In truth, there were times when even with her newfound control that Arashi couldn't tell when or if she were controlling the elements around her. The wind was certainly one of them, along with the very sand that she walked across in the vast country. There was only so far that she could go, knowing well that her limitations were for her own safety and that of security. Still, the evening chill was enough to make her want to try her luck and move a bit further. It didn't seem like that long ago, but two weeks of mourning in silence was hardly limited to a certain point in space. It was even more strange that between her father and herself, they were the only ones aware of the incident even happening. Which meant that as far as anyone in Iwagakure was concerned, Satori Akira had fled from his homeland and would likely never be seen again.. It wasn't as if any Stone would attempt to ask of him, or even think of trying to speak with those within Kaze no Kuni. Even if they believed something had happened, there was no evidence to link his disappearance to them... Hands resting within her pockets, the dark haired female would continue the pace of her stride. Her slow stride making an visible path within the grains of earth beneath her feet, her eyes narrowed as she released as soft breath from between her teeth, allowing the silhouette of air to float in a frosty haze into the atmosphere before vanishing just as quickly. Arashi wasn't even sure what she was hoping to gain by coming out this far...her mind seeming just to be centered on a single idea... The trip this far out wasn't bad, especially when one could travel through the air, but it had taken her to nightfall to make the distance. But the remains of what had been the camp of the bandits, the tattered cloth, the broken splinters of poles, all having sunk into the sand, were much like an old wound that had been caved in and slightly unearthed. Thats not surprising...damn vultures...can't leave that much stuff to waste...who knows how much was left behind...not that I was checkin when I sank that place... That moment really had been one where she had acted on instinct... They were surrounded...and while they could take them on each, the camp was too big for them not to get overwhelmed at some point. Her whole point of being out there in the first place was to figure out what these people were up to and to either report them to the Saeko Clan so they could get their vengence...or attempt to convince them to join in the possible alliance with Sekara's now formed alliance with Sunagakure. That was...until Akira came in.... Thinking on, her mind flashed to the moment she found him in that cell...her expression being more so upset at seeing him. But that wasn't really the whole truth....in truth...she was happy to see him... Considering the last time they spoke...was in an attempt to save his life...his mind was erased of every coming to the village or even meeting her father for interrogation... He was alive at least...but Akira seemed to be striving for something.... "Oh. Oh... She's not around here. She took an alternate route to take care of any hunter ninja that came our way." He had intended to meet up with a woman....The same one that she smelt on him likely... There wasn't any sign of anyone having made it to the pier in Sekara...then again...she could have just been careful and didn't get caught.... Arashi would kneel down close to the ground, her hand reaching for the sand as she grasped some and held it within her palm. The dust moved along her skin much like fluid, taking it into itself and reinforcing her unnatural defense. She had never mentioned the woman that had been escaping with Akira, much to the fact that she had no idea what she looked like and would never be able to find her...well...maybe on purpose at least. It wouldn't take her much to search the area for a scent that matched the one she picked up on Akira, but she had a feeling that her finding the woman wouldn't do much for anyone. In just thinking about the idea of smelling something out, she began to pick up a heavy smell of smolder and ash. Her eyes would narrow as she could hear something moving closer, prompting her frame to rise up as she looked over toward the side as a lumbering creature began to move in her direction. The heavy breathing and rattling of the area was a clear indication of it's size, leading to the young female to frown as she closed her eyes. "Really...of course ya would move into this spot...dragons lizards" The scale of the beast was large, the size of a small hut in truth. It's tail swung with enough force to shift the sand without so much as touching it. With the lizards presence now known to Arashi, the young woman would allow the sand upon her body to shift, reverting it from the crimson red jacket to her more traditional attire as she extended her hand out with a frown. "I am so not in the mood for you! GET LOST!" 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. -Jutsu Used- -Items Used- -Familiar Used-

Into the Unknown If her attempts were to try and sound bigger than the beast, it certainly failed as it clearly saw the difference in appearance between them. It wasn't uncommon for such creatures to take refuge out here, especially lizards like this. They were akin to fabled dragons in a since, territorial, especially of what they believed belonged to them. It was likely that her previous assumption of bandits trying to dig for the buried remains of the camp were false, and that this monster was the one responsible. It's reddened eyes glared at her, coal black hide dotted with glimmering scales. The rock-hardened spikes that seemed to rise from it's shoulders showed more towards it's origins being further into the mountain region of the country, so it's purpose for being here wasn't too strange considering the terrain. As Arashi held her ground, looking up at the dark skinned being, it would release a cry that was a signal for her to flee or prepare to fight, to which Arashi did not heed. She should have...but considering her mood at the moment, she didn't feel like running... From this, the lizard took challenge to her response, it's body swinging to the side as it's tail attempting to slam itself directly into the human. As it's impact was felt, Arashi remained were she stood, her sand defense raised as she glared at beast. Smoke would seep from it's maw, opening it as it began to release a burst of flames that crossed the surface of the sand, surging in Arashi's direction. As she saw this, her hands creating a set of seven seals before slamming both her palms together and then pushing them forward against the field of sand to create a seal upon it's collected surface. As it expanding, it would begin to take in the fire that was released against it, absorbing it into it's barrier while the Jounin dashed to the side, her hand waving to the side before summoning two sand crafted spears and sending them soaring toward the monster with full vigor. The weapons of dust would collide into the lizard, prompting it's assault to be knocked off course and swinging toward the night sky. With Arashi sliding to a halt across the surface, her focus would remain on the black colored lizard, watching as it released yet another thunderous roar to which the girl only yelled back, prompting the ground to shake as she could feel the chakra start to bubble within her.

The seal creates an invisible 10m wide barrier from the source which will draw in any jutsu that utilizes the fire element quickly like a vacuum. By doing so, the user can seal away techniques used against them that passes nearby the sealing medium. The amount of chakra which can be sealed away using this technique is dependent on the sealing medium: a single sealing tag can seal a jutsu using medium chakra, while a large sealing scroll can seal up to one technique using very high amounts of chakra or five techniques using medium amounts of chakra as a sort of measurement scale. It can seal up to A-rank techniques.4 NAME: Suna no sōzō: Āsenaruasaruto [Sand Creation:Arsenal Assault] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu DESCRIPTION: A technique that requires as much imagination as it does skill, the user is capable of manipulating the density of the sand around them and construct a variety of weapons and defenses. These constructs are made of hardened minerals, capable of taking and dealing considerable damage. The instant creation of these constructs can happen in that of a split second, though the size of these creations slows down their development, along with their regulated weight class, such as the difference between a war-hammer and that of a broad sword. Yet, these can be no bigger than the actual size of their physical design. They can be reshaped though in mid-combat, adjusting to the change in situation. NAME: O-jū no shōgekiha [Tailed Beast Shockwave] RANK: C, B, S CHAKRA USAGE: High CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: N/A DESCRIPTION: A tailed beast or Jinchuuriki taps into their large reserves in a burst of emotion. By either roaring, or a violent wave of the arms, the can send a powerful force of pressure and destruction that moves outward in a circular motion, with their body being its epicenter. For those who have minimal control, these are usually brought about when they are enraged in their Initial Jinchuuriki Form, or their Version 1 Chakra Cloak. The C-ranked version is capable of moving away Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and projectile attacks of similar power, while serving as successful Kai due to the rush of chakra for a range in all directions for 20 meters. The B-ranked version of the jutsu is attainable when they are in their Version 2 Chakra cloak, which pushes everything mentioned above in all directions for 35 meters. When in Full Bijuu Mode, the S-ranked version can do 100 meters. -Items Used- -Familiar Used-

Into the Unknown The scream released from the Jounin was enough to rattle the creature, but it wasn't willing to call off it's assault just yet. If anything, that only enraged it more as the human now seemed to be challenging it further. Which at this point, Arashi surely was... Whatever was possessing her emotions at the moment was certainly not the mildly annoying interruption of the lizard. There was something far more pressing lingering beneath the surface... And it was starting to rise up... "Jihi-sama does not look to our every action and interpret them in black and white, but we are expected to live through the spirit of them, and while I could say that my version of honesty is not yours, I won't - because nobody is qualified to be the arbiter of virtues." As another memory played in her head, Arashi would just grit her teeth as she applied chakra into her limbs, her lower legs pulsing before she burst forward, her frame rushing in the direction of the dark monster before her, it's jaws would snap in her direction, prompting her to summoning a single tendril of sand to slash down upon it's nostrils, her body rising upward in a jump before twisting her frame so that she was now upon it's back. The lizard would shriek, lurching forward and back, body twirling in an attempt to get the human off, yet Arashi would remain upon it as the aura of chakra seemed to grow more apparent as she began to channel futon into her right hand. "Gods also abhor Jinchuuriki and other Gods..." "Argahhh!!!" Bracing her hand with the other, her palm would begin to release burst of wind-like blades down into the lizard's back, prompting it to shift downward in pain, bits of it's scales starting to splinter off as the impact battered down against it's form. Finding it's balance, the black dragon like beast would crane it's neck upward, once again snapping at the Suna nin as she faded into dust upon it reaching her, her shapeless form flying backward in particles before reforming away, the aura of purple chakra growing as it surrounded her. 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.

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. All-Covering Forests and Ten Thousand Things Assimilate Technique A technique that Arashi learned from Shukaku, it was grafted upon the creativity and consumption of a variety of different environments and adapting them to the needs of the user. When Arashi first learned of this, she used them simply as a means of allowing her to move with the usage of her sand, traveling among the currents of the wind from one place to the next. Though over time, she has adapted to them and made that very nature part of herself and learned to manipulate it to more than just the desert itself. With this growing understanding, comes her ability to use it to better suit her needs. Such as assimilation of Steel into her skin, or ash to the very minerals that build up the sand she controls to her will. This knowledge grants her the means to take these parts of her environment and impart them into her very being. While this is a short lived experience, they aid her in her ability to control the situation and to protect herself from threats that her Ultimate Sand Defense can not predict and allow for her to better protect herself. (Post Count limit:3) Chakra Shroud [No Tail] Arashi goes into her chakra shroud form very easily. In fact, she’s almost always in this form. The sand that constantly protects her is a sign that the form is always up. As such, Arashi is very difficult to harm on a regular basis. However, she also has the danger of constantly being near the tipping point into going full tail. As such, it’s very important for her to always try to keep a calm mind. -Jutsu Used- NAME: Sokudo [Literally Meaning Speed] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: High [Continuous] CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 DESCRIPTION: Sokudo is a method of using chakra passively to reinforce the body's physical capabilities. Such things are movement-based rather than just brute strength would. It gives the user's muscle stimulation, allowing increased hand movement, wrist, arms, and even the legs. This can be used to just have everything work more proficiently. Though, after being used for more than seven posts, the user's muscles will be sore as if they just did an extensive workout. IF continued to be used, eleven posts will begin to break down muscle. Intense pain followed, forced technique shut down. NAME: Suna Makihige [ Sand Tendril] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: The user will create multiple thread-like constructs from sand and use them as if they were their own appendages, guiding them with chakra. These can be compressed to create powerful spears or simply as a way to trap or grab objects or persons within a range of 100 feet. NAME: Jūha Shō [Beast Tearing Palm] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium [Continuous] CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Fūton DESCRIPTION: A powerful technique of wind nature chakra that can cut and slash through most materials like most wood and stone. The activates it by channeling chakra in their right hand, and then swipes a slicing chakra wave which appears to be controlled by user's will and thoughts. A user is also able to use the technique in a rapid-fire, successive motion.Though the longer it is used for and how many times it used can be very chakra taxing and is not recommended for prolong use. -Items Used- -Familiar Used-

Response You are pushing you luck girl! You're tapping into our reserves... Back off! I know what I'm doing! "Oonakayama Arashi. you are delusional and you are a coward..." The collection of chakra surrounding her seemed to only erupt further, prompting the beast to screech as it began to release another surge of flames mindlessly. It was acting in defense and out of fear. It had no idea what was happening to the human, but it was clearly sensing something stronger behind her. With the burst of flames flowing in her direction, Arashi's eyes would shift into a golden hue as she summoning a stream of sand to rise up and collide into the fiery blast that was intended to consume her. It combated against it, crystalizing against the heat, but seeming to rapidly replace itself with more from it's surroundings. As Arashi held her ground, the female would seem to vanish as her movements had increased in speed, making her more challenging to see. Within a second, it was now on the side of the creature, her arm swinging backward as a massive fist came flinging from the depths beneath her, impacting against the creature's frame and knocking it back. "Havin fun yet!!?" Gritting her teeth, the girl would begin to march forward, her right arm moving this time as another summoned gathering of dust would surge outward, hitting the beast once more with an hardened fist made of sand. This seemed to continue before the speed seemed to increase to the point that the blows were following each other, one after another. "They were my best friends, and I killed them by accident. I wasn't as naturally gifted at Fuuinjutsu with yourself, and I tried creating an explosive tag..." "My memory is all I have of them now, and it's why I reacted so badly the way I had. The idea that it could be taken from me was more important than the act of it happening in the first place..." I know, you know, you hurt me. I accept that I hurt you as well. I want this to not be a thing and move on." The blows kept coming, and the more Arashi remembered, the more angry she got. "It is a thing! IT WILL ALWAYS BE A THING! BECAUSE NOW I HAVE TO REMEMBER!! I HAVE TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!!" 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.

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. Chakra Tail[Version 1] During moments of extreme stress, danger and emotional downfall, Arashi can easily fall into her one tail form. While she still has some control over this form, the majority of her actions are very feral and simple minded. Sand is forcibly pulled from the ground, yanking the earth around her apart to form a small Takuni based shade that covers her head and half of her body. A sandy tale can be seen before her, molded out of the sand covering her body. Her entire face is hidden by the sand, and Shukaku has greater influence over her. If Arashi is angry at someone, she will attack without hesitation like a wild beast. In this mode, she cannot think properly. She is only a few steps above a wild animal. Though this form in inducted through stress, it has been controlled to the point where it can be activated through her own free will. In such cases, many of her previous held abilities have been enhanced. Her physical attacks are now capable of lifting double of her original limit, and she is able to move at the level of a Jounin Taijutsu user. That would mean the force behind her strikes would be capable of shattering bone and even steel if used to it's full extent. Her endurance and agility are also amplified, allowing her to move faster and to make use of her new skills without quickly succumbing to fatigue. The next improvement is that of her Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu. Each of which are enhanced in their execution and strength. As such, her more adapt wind techniques prove to be double in power and her sealing techniques last much longer in their effects. Her Sand techniques and Sand Defense also twice as powerful. They move more quickly and fluidly and feel more natural in their release. -Jutsu Used- NAME: Sabaku Sōsō [Sand Waterfall] RANK: A CHAKRA USAGE: High CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: The user manipulates Sand in the form of a wave, covering and drowning the opponent in an ocean of Sand that spreads out over 300 meters. This raging sea deals a lot of damage by itself, but one can further take advantage of the sand for a second and a third consecutive assault. The user can control the sand, allowing him to attack his opponent while they attempt to outrun the wave. This technique has the added effect of changing the landscape. It is usually followed by an area crushing technique to kill the trapped opponent. NAME: Satetsu Kesshū [ Sand Gathering Assault] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: This technique gathers a great volume of sand and compresses it into a high-density shape. This greatly increases the hardness, creating a gigantic steel-like weapon standing at 30 feet in an instant. The weight and size of these shapes are so great, they can easily shatter bedrock. Because the weapon is made out of sand, the shape can be whatever the user wants, and can even be changed during the fight. This allows the user to create the best weapon for the fight, by taking into account the opponent's abilities and the surrounding environment. -Items Used- -Familiar Used-

Rage was a familiar friend...a partner in a number of crimes that rested in the very cracks of the young woman's thoughts. There was a lot of time that had passed that made it easier to manage, but it wasn't something that could be conquered, only controlled. At that moment, with flashes of memories coming through every second, with every strike that slammed against the monster in front of her, her steps coming closer and closer to it, she could feel that control slipping. It seemed as if the barrage of punches would never stop, yet soon enough it seemed the beast had finally fallen, it's body laid upon the sad, a mess of itself as green fluid leaked from every inch of it's frame. It's scales were ravaged, tail curled like a dog who knew of a mistake it had made. With the soft mummers, the small plumes of smoke escaping from it's mangled jaws, the young female would finally stop her assault, golden gaze still enraged as she began to breath rapidly. Yet, it was foolish to stop, as within seconds the talons came, slashing against her hardened exterior and pushing her backward as the wind began to pick up once again. Have I gotten your attention? Shit... I could care less if you intend to release your frustrations upon this thing, but you may do well to remember that when you risk your life in the process, you also risk mine! Especially some foolish boy that gained some fraction of your affections! Narrowing her eyes, the torn flesh upon her skin began to repair itself, revealing the sand armor that still covered the surface of her flesh. While there were some signs of blood, it wasn't enough to kill her. Taking in another breath, Arashi would see the creature rising once more, a frown crossing her lips as it began to release it's flames once more, prompting her to phase once more out of focus, her body disappearing as she began to move around the lizard, her eyes watching it's movements before coming up behind it. I don't....I don't know how I could have let it come to this... Your human...hardly a surprise that your emotions would allow for you to feel some since of loss at the fact of one close to you dying...and that you fear the same of those whom you care for... Since when have you been so smart? Think what you want...in the end...he would have tried to kill you if you attempted to stop him...and you would have been responsible...in this case...his actions proved to be his undoing...mourn how you want...but that truth will remain...you wished to take away his freedom...that is worth dying for...something you know all too well... Despite not wanting to hear it...it was true...even if she had let him go, what were the chances that someone else would have very well done the job? She had always been there to defend Akira...always had his back...always ready to protect him... "I would have always chosen you. Leaving my village was as much about finding peace for me as it was escaping you. No matter how you treated me. A part of me will always love you, and that's not fair to either of us..."

It wasn't fair to feel something for someone and not have that expression felt in a similar manner. Or at the very least addressed. Arashi felt that she had, but perhaps that hadn't been enough. Maybe it never would be. Arashi loved Asahi...she couldn't see her life without him in it. She wouldn't play with his emotions as she knew how horrible that was. But, she also cared deeply for Akira as well. It had always been a balancing act...determining which was more important to her...and in the end...Asahi was...but she couldn't let go of Akira... Maybe that was the problem.... She had to let Akira go.... With the beast badly bloodied, it's blood-shot eyes turning to face her yet again, Arashi could feel her anger building at these thoughts, yet she settled them as she began to release calm breaths. In allowing her chakra to lessen, the rage began to stop, her focus becoming more clear as she began to allow her hardened exterior to lessen and become more semblance to her normal shape. The spikes of hardened sand became flatten upon her shoulders, the misshapen length of her nails turned natural. As the lizard made it's final lash against her, a golden hue would appear from her gourd, creating a field that heavily rebuffed the attack. As the Auramite defended her, Arashi would flatten her palm, holding it in front of her as she closed her eyes, centering herself. As the golden dust began to swirl around her, Arashi would then slowly move her hand to the side, allowing for the flow of minerals to begin to surround the lizard, it's collected form shifting into that of a hand as it slammed down with heavy force, pinning the creature down under it's mass. With it struggling and trying to escape from the trap, Arashi would begin to move toward it, her eyes still a reflection of her craft as she began to prepare a set of seals.

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: Satetsu Kesshū [ Sand Gathering Assault] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: This technique gathers a great volume of sand and compresses it into a high-density shape. This greatly increases the hardness, creating a gigantic steel-like weapon standing at 30 feet in an instant. The weight and size of these shapes are so great, they can easily shatter bedrock. Because the weapon is made out of sand, the shape can be whatever the user wants, and can even be changed during the fight. This allows the user to create the best weapon for the fight, by taking into account the opponent's abilities and the surrounding environment. -Items Used- Auramite -Familiar Used-

[Oonakayama Arashi]

One Last Time TAG. WORDS. xxx NOTES:Following an unexplained emotion, Arashi makes her way out into the desert to where she lost Akira, only to find something more pressing awaiting her...

A mineral that was based on legend was something that was hardly to be taken lightly. While Arashi had only some experience with it, she figured that applying it to one of her many resources was only natural. Of course, it proved to be quite effective, almost as much as that of her usual technique of using Sand as an application. As she watched the creature struggle under the weight of the hardened mineral, she would begin her approach, looking the monster in the eye as she prepared to finish what she had started. In truth, the beast was the one to create the engagement, but then, she was very well in it's home. There was no real claim when it came to the desert. It was constantly changing, every shifting in both landscape and hands. In hundreds of years, it was possible that no one would even know that there were civilizations here, villages and empires. The proof was within the ruins and those that remained standing or partially buried. As she readied what could be a seal to make it much more of an eased transition, something stopped her mid-way through. It was a minor hinderance, but she found herself allowing her hand to glow with a seal, her free hand gently moving over the side of the lizard's face, feeling the heat of it's brow, seeing the fear in it's eyes. "It isn't much...I know that...but I guess...maybe we both need to let this one go eh?" Her fingertips would begin to glow, revealing a blue aura as she placed then down upon the forehead of the beast, it's eyes turned white, seeming to roll back for a moment before Arashi would then reel back and allow for her golden sand to return back into her gourd. As she made sure to give the creature distance, she'd watch it begin to regain it's awareness, though it was clear that much of it's reaction hindered on confusion. It would grunt and snort, smoke escaping it's nose as it looked toward the human with a narrowed gaze. The giant would bare it's teeth, yet almost as if it were ready to strike, it would simply begin to make it's leave, returning to what looked like the distance, it's hulking form disappearing into the distance. You spared it.... I let it go... Same difference... Maybe to you... Seating herself on the ground, Arashi would release a sigh of relief, her hand reaching for her tiara as she removed it from her brow. Brushing the hair from her vision, she'd close her eyes as she smiled to herself. "I just made it forget that this was it's place...it's probably gonna head off and find somewhere else...I don't know too many lizards out here that wanna deal with places that has humans so...unless someone threatens it..." Hmph...escaping responsibility for death...Cowardice... It didn't need to die....neither did Akira...but...he did anyway...and in a way...I think he wanted it that way...maybe not in the sense of leaving...but a death of the way he used to live...of how he felt...He didn't want to go...but I think he left a long time ago... Opening her eyes, she'd look out toward the starry sky as she placed one arm upon her knee. I have to stop thinking that Akira death was my fault...that every action that he made, despite it being without me...was directed because of me...it was one the reasons why I kept helping him...because I felt responsible...and because I did love him...but I doubt that matters much anymore... 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. Chakra Tail[Version 1] During moments of extreme stress, danger and emotional downfall, Arashi can easily fall into her one tail form. While she still has some control over this form, the majority of her actions are very feral and simple minded. Sand is forcibly pulled from the ground, yanking the earth around her apart to form a small Takuni based shade that covers her head and half of her body. A sandy tale can be seen before her, molded out of the sand covering her body. Her entire face is hidden by the sand, and Shukaku has greater influence over her. If Arashi is angry at someone, she will attack without hesitation like a wild beast. In this mode, she cannot think properly. She is only a few steps above a wild animal. Though this form in inducted through stress, it has been controlled to the point where it can be activated through her own free will. In such cases, many of her previous held abilities have been enhanced. Her physical attacks are now capable of lifting double of her original limit, and she is able to move at the level of a Jounin Taijutsu user. That would mean the force behind her strikes would be capable of shattering bone and even steel if used to it's full extent. Her endurance and agility are also amplified, allowing her to move faster and to make use of her new skills without quickly succumbing to fatigue. The next improvement is that of her Ninjutsu, Fuinjutsu. Each of which are enhanced in their execution and strength. As such, her more adapt wind techniques prove to be double in power and her sealing techniques last much longer in their effects. Her Sand techniques and Sand Defense also twice as powerful. They move more quickly and fluidly and feel more natural in their release. 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: Satetsu Kesshū [ Sand Gathering Assault] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Jiton DESCRIPTION: This technique gathers a great volume of sand and compresses it into a high-density shape. This greatly increases the hardness, creating a gigantic steel-like weapon standing at 30 feet in an instant. The weight and size of these shapes are so great, they can easily shatter bedrock.

This allows the user to create the best weapon for the fight, by taking into account the opponent's abilities and the surrounding environment. NAME: Memory Erase Seal [Omoide] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium - High CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 DESCRIPTION: A technique that is used to erase the mind of an ally, citizen, opponent, or etc. The user will use two of their fingers, being the index and middle, only to begin incorporating on the tip of their fingers blue chakra. By placing their fingers on the center of said persons forehead they will use their other hand to perform the wipe out by whispering, 滅, metsu, which means wipe; thus, eradicating a certain part of their memory that the user so chooses for them to forget. Now, the memory that was erased isn't FULLY gone for sometimes it can mostly be seen as a dream of the sort when one slightly begins to recall on said memory that was erased. Used typically when opponent is restrained or still, as it take focus, concentration, and time to work effectively. -Items Used- Auramite -Familiar Used-

Allowing herself a moment to think, Arashi would continue to look up toward the stars, her expression calm as she remembered a question that he had asked her. In that moment, she felt as if she could see him, or at least...feel his presence right beside her. It was a strange sensation, but she imagined with the amount of things she had seen within her life, it wasn't the most odd. Her hand resting beside her, she'd think back to that night so long ago, her expression calm as she could see two people talking right in front of her, their figures familiar, yet so different at the same time. They were saying something...laughing about something...and then in that moment, it seemed as if one of the figures was now alone. "Hm....De ja vu....but then...I guess...I was never really alone was I? You helped me to see that..." In saying this, Arashi would finally push herself upward, her eyes closing as she allowed a smile to cross her lips as she then opened them as she allowed some bits of sand to fly out from her hand, gliding upward and floating off into the distance. In those final moments, she'd watch them leave and begin to cross off further and further away. "Goodbye Akira....Thank you...for being one of my first true friends...I hope that....I hope that you knew that...I really did love you...even if it wasn't the way you wanted...and I know it isn't fair for me to say it...but I hope that...you finally got your freedom...if not in this life...than at least in the next...and if Jihi is real....that they grant you forgiveness..." Clapping her hands together, Arashi would then close her eyes as she spoke in her native tongue. "በአባቶቻችሁ ውስጥ ሰላም ታገኙ ... እና በነፋስ ላይ ቀላል ስሜት ይኑራችሁ ..." (May you find peace within the embrace of your ancestors...and feel light against the wind...) Moment Music Releasing a slow breath, the Jounin would then lower herself down to retrieve her tiara, looking over to see if the visions were still there, noting that they were gone. Both of them. With that now clear, her smile would return as she then began to turn and begin to make her way back home, her body disappearing into the wind as her dusted form scatter into it and began to drift into the current. -End Thread- 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.
