"progress". "A man who can't uphold his beliefs is pathetic, dead or alive." WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT Knowing the signs was indeed the first step, and knowing the mechanics behind it from observation would make her process of learning the technique far easier. But before she could try it, she asked about the chakra cost of the technique. "It can be, but not our contract. Our ninken are useful, but they are not extremely powerful, so the chakra cost of summoning them is fairly reasonable. However, summoning all of them at the same time can be costly, so I would try to keep the number down to no more than a few at a time, until you get used to the technique." he explained. "In time, you will be able to handle all of them. They can be quite the help, both in fighting and in other aspects of our shinobi life, such as tracking, surveillance and such." he added, cracking a smirk. With that explained, now all that was left was for the girl to try and summon them herself. "So... Ready to give it a shot?" he asked, arching one of his brows. He was pretty confident she was going to be able to pull it off, even if it took her a few tries. Shinde was a good shinobi, with a good head above her shoulder. If only he had been that lucky with the rest of his offspring... "You can train a dog with food. You can buy a person with money. But there isn't a man alive that can put down the Will of Fire. Some things will never change. The Will of Fire will never be extinguished" Hatake Mansion Teaching Summoning Technique [Hatake Shinde] [231 words]

He explained to Shinde the technique, and within those next moments, she looked at the situation in stride. "I see..." With the technique's insight added? She began forming the handseals. "You got it!" Calm and confident in her abilities, she was more than inclined to work on practicing her summoning until she had it down flat. Just another aspect that would add to Shinde's legitimacy as a chosen Hatake. She was growing. Every day, she seemed to be getting closer and closer to becoming a more splendid ninja, and in turn, she prepared for a brighter and greater future. It wasn't what she originally expected in her life, but as she advanced, she felt confidence in her skill and the people around her.

"Ninpo: Kuchiyose no Jutsu!" Slamming her palm against the floor, she found herself utilizing a rush of chakra in the attempt to summon one of her clan's ninja dogs. Something she'd be practicing time and time again no doubt. However, as all things did, she required some practice. Namely because she wasn't exactly expecting to summon a puppy. Sheesh. Maybe she was supposed to put in more chakra than she initially thought. "Well then if that's the case." With a small sigh and a nervous sweatdrop, she prepared to deliver. Reap what she sowed and all that. Once again! Kuchiyose no Jutsu!
