Shukaku wasn't wrong, and neither was the man before her...
It was true that the idea had come to mind more than once. It had been a fleeting thought, considering how much she enjoyed her freedom, but as of late it had been becoming less so. Her father was a good man, but in a position where he had to make difficult decisions. Not all of them felt right, but she had believe that they had reasons behind it. But as she thought of what her aunt said, how she was to be the voice of the people, to begin situations to the Kage and present them in their place, was it not the kage's position to at least adhere to them? Or at the very least listen...
Moving passed Ginkaku, she'd place herself with her back to him, her hands resting close to the edge as she allowed her eyes to scan the area. Though she'd continue to listen, she'd let a small seal slowly form on her palm, laying it down on the side of the balcony as she began to speak when it came to his remarks of her being a more suitable candidate.
Returning to looking at her, her back still against the balcony beam, her hands hanging onto the edge as she continue to hear the man speak, her eyes would look to the side as she remained firm in her position, allowing sand to brush against the place she'd mark to cover her imprint against the weighted steel platform. He'd compliment her position, his claim of her being already having learned under the current kage and how she had all the tools she needed to succeed him.
Nodding her head so that he could join her side, she'd continue to look at him as she rested against the edge.
The last moments of this conversation would decide how everything went from this point forward. She knew that, and if she had played her cards right, so did he. The moment of truth was now at hand, and if she was willing to go all the way, she may find a solution to all of this. Of course, that was if the man was to make this sell reasonable.

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
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.
Sand Control
Arashi is granted two forms of defense by the Ichibi. The first one is a subconscious ability granted by the Bijuu is that there is constantly a barrier of sand clinging to Arashi’s skin. This barrier acts as a shield against her skin, absorbing heavy blows and protecting her. Her sand defense is very tough, being very difficult to break through. The sand has been likened to steel and concrete. The second form is one which pulls sand from her surroundings and the sand piled on her skin to form a visible barrier and dome like barrier around her. The sand is typically pulled from the ground and any nearby source. Arashi’s various dogs often have a plentiful amount of sand carried in their thick coats. As such, the sand is often pulled from their coats to be used to protect the girl. Through the course of her training, Arashi has learned to control both of these forms of defense to a degree, making her much more capable of mounting a defense in a variety of ways. But she still at times must incumbent some cooperation from Shukaku to ensure of it's sustainability.
Arashi can control sand and wind around herself to whip up sandstorms with powerful gusts. The sandstorm often appears when she’s emotionally strained and damaged. If there is no sand around her, powerful breezes will still gather around her. Shukaku enjoys teasing the girl to the point where sandstorms appear. But with the course of time, Arashi had grown more comfortable with this and developed a thick skin towards such actions by the Bijuu.
While Arashi had previous had little to no control over her other sand related abilities, she has a somewhat capable hand at this one. Because of the trauma of her sand attacking her classmates at a young age, Arashi has managed to reign in some of this power. Learning to bend the sand to her will, Arashi can keep it from hurting those she doesn’t want it to hurt. Sand will be gathered from nearby sources to be used as a weapon when this ability activates. This ability typically only activates when Arashi is in severe danger, but it has now become possible for her to do so with ease. Though it is more prone to activating near or on full moons. The sand takes the form of blunt objects or tendrils to bash or choke enemies. During moments of extreme strain, Arashi loses all control over this ability as well.
Fuuinjutsu Savant
Within her youth, Arashi had always been a natural when it came to the art of sealing techniques. Trained under one of it's great masters, her skill and understanding of this nearly forgotten artform only grew and has become more seasoned over time. With this knowledge, the shinobi is capable of identifying the nature and abilities of a seal just by looking at it, mapping out their structure, strength, and abilities based on previous experience and her own studies with the craft. This skill also allows for her own seals to become much stronger in their usage, extend their duration people(1 post), able to modify them to suit a specific situation or to quickly implement them in the field.
Ichibi Curse Seal
The only ability Arashi has competent control over, this is the ability to utilize the curse seal marks over Shukaku’s body for her own bidding. Arashi can will the seals to cover her own body and control them to form various seals to preform fuuinjutsu from her own skin. As such, she can summon weapons she has sealed within them and rearrange the seals to be able to perform various fuuinjutsu that she has knowledge of without scrolls by using her own skin. She may also seal items within the curse marks and rearrange them to perform an unrelated technique before reforming them to summon the item at a later date.
-Jutsu Used-
NAME: Betsuji Fuin Kai [Future Time Seal Release]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 5 | 1 to activate
DESCRIPTION:
The user performs the necessary hand seals for this technique, then after they perform the hand seals and chakra molding for one more technique. The user effectively seals away the 2nd technique used along with the chakra necessary to cast it into a seal they place upon their forehead reading "capsule". This allows the user to prepare a specific technique to be activated upon a single hand seal any time into the future, even when they have almost no chakra saved up later on. Once the seal is released, the technique is used immediately afterward and the seal on the forehead vanishes.
NAME: Futaishō Shīru [Genjutsu Intolerance Seal]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 3
DESCRIPTION:
This Seal requires 3 hand signs to perform and must be applied to the head of the target/person in question. Once in place the seal links itself directly to the persons mind and sustains itself by altering the flow of chakra to go through it. The seal activates if any foreign chakra or influence affects the chakra around the brain causing the person in question to suffer a shot lived if not inconsiderable jolt of pain by shocking nearby nerves. This seal serves as an effective means to inform the individual if he is under a genjutsu and can dispel genjutsu techniques by means of the moderate pain it causes. This seal must be placed on a person prior to a genjutsu attack to be effective and thus is of limited use once battle commences. It does not cost any chakra to maintain due to the seal being largely dormant most of the time.
NAME: Shuukei Seki Houin [Aggregate Gate Sealing Method][Preparation]
RANK: S
CHAKRA USAGE: Very High
CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 16
DESCRIPTION:
The user takes a medium and holds it while performing a set of hand seals. Once done, they will throw the medium and form one more seal, activating the technique. The medium will "explode" and form a sealing circle. The circle will be of any colour (depending on the colour of the user's chakra). It will have a set of sealing kanji in the shape of a circle with a thin line on the outside and inside of the sealing circle. In the center of this entire set of circles will be one giant symbol for "dimension" that will appear briefly before vanishing. At this point, the sealing circle will begin to draw in anything in front of it.
The size of this circle depends on the size of the medium. A leaf can create a circle about 5in in diameter. A small scroll can make something as big as 5ft in diameter. A large scroll can make a sealing circle about 50m in diameter, and so on. The power of the vacuum that the seal creates is strong enough to rip earth straight from the ground with ease and has a force even more powerful than gravity itself, which allows it to draw in targets from the ground and up into the air if that is where the seal is formed. Lastly, the amount of things the seal can consume is dependant on the medium itself. A leaf will probably only be able to seal a few small objects into it, while using a large sealing scroll will allow one to seal up to double its sealing capacity. To seal a bijuu, one may need a medium larger than a house to even begin attempting to.
Once the sealing is complete, the sealing circle will collapse back into the original medium with a large seal on top of it reading "closed dimension".
