I wish you would die

Deep with Stone country, between the trees and endless blowing wind, a mouth of of a cavern system, hidden by thick underbrush, laid in the open, seemingly taking in all of the air blowing around it. Further in the cave, it would reveal the mouth of the land formation was not entirely natural. Outlining the stone formation was blackened rock, upon further examination, these "rocks" were in fact crystals of black-esque coloration. Exploring deeper into the crystalized cavern lead to two forks, echos of yells of anger came from each direction and deeper both ways only increased the volume of each echo. Traversing the correct path led to an even more variable nexus sprouted 4 directions, one leading above, one trail leading into the lower parts of the cavern. Almost each of these paths led to a dead end, except the rightmost path. Leading further into the darkness where the air was noticeably stale and closed off.

Deeper one could go if they so chose yet down that path, what little light remained seemed to illuminate a small pocket point. Into this, even the stagnant air was noticeably warmer. In tandem, the yells were at their strongest here. Until they became silent that is. A few moments carried on with nothing even remotely happening, a sigh escaped lips and the echoed walls made it into a hiss of a certain nature, crystal audibly started to form but were not seen until they flew through the air, hitting a stone wall and in turn, shattering upon impact. Within the darkness, a voice echoed, feminine in nature but masked with frustration. "Damn it! Ugh, again!"

The sound of crystals forming resumed but the darkness did not reveal who was making them nor where.

Holy shit… Kojirou was in trouble.

This was what would happen when you decide to take a leak on your way to a foreign city, splitting up from the rest of the group for some privacy. Kojirou did not see that there was no surface underneath his feet, for while finding a good place to flush his bladder, he suddenly found no tree to land on – instead, an open area invited him in, and the strong winds guided him straight down towards nowhere. A loud yelp escaped his lips as he descended…

*Booooooooooing!*

He just barely managed to soften his fall with a Rubber Ball. If he didn’t weave the signs fast enough, he would’ve gotten badly hurt. "C-Crap, where am I…?” he panicked a little, unsure as to whether he was on the right track or if this really was a blind end… wait, no, the cavern led on. If he followed the tunnelway, maybe he’d find civilization again. Or maybe, he could just walk back up aga-

Where were his traveling partners? Had they not found him yet? Then again, the Land of Earth… maybe this was the way to go! Earth was all around him, after all.



Damn, he was unlucky. Having walked further into the tunnelways of the cavern, Kojirou had suddenly noticed that the floor was like crystallized obsidian. He hadn’t heard any… tolerant voices as of late, and he was starting to get more paranoid of his bad choice. "M-Must be a kekkai…” he convinced himself; yes, a defense mechanism for this Kuwana, perhaps. A way to keep the city from harm’s way or something. It was easy to scare marauders away with yells and screams of haunting imaginations.

What was that?! Upon entering the darkest cell as of yet, Kojirou heard a loud crash – it sounded as if two rocks had collided together. "…!” He had gotten used to some of the darkness from earlier, but here, he couldn’t see a damn thing, "Is anyone else lost in here?!”

He had already grabbed the handle of his katana, just in case…

"Hmm..." Ahma let out a soft hum when she heard the voice and in tandem, the echo of a voice in this dark place she called home, at least for the time being. "The only one lost is you." Ahma stated in a hushed whisper, enough to echo but not enough to point at a source. The woman crouched, practicing the prayer hands again, but coming up with only more crystals forming around her, no kunai. Damn it, why can't I get this? It's just a stupid Kunai! The girl's expression changed to frustration as she looked around in the darkness, her eyes just barely making out silhouettes but no details. She was partially amazed she even got this far with no light, and train... what time of day was it?

"Long way from home, aren't you?" She called in the darkness, moving as quietly as she could to just see if she can find this voice. She made sure to stay as close to the darkest parts as possible, she still didn't want to be found. "Why are you here? Are you here to play? Are you here to pray? Or are you hiding like prey?" The Nuke inquired slowly feeling and crawling her way around to reduce any noise she created. Was she in a combative mood? No. Ahma just wanted to train in peace, ready for a threat that could act against her.

From sound alone, this sounded like a boy, she wasn't sure who - or what - the voice was or what he wanted. Was he a hunter? No... he wouldn't ask if anyone was lost. Is... is he dumb? Who the hell gets this lost? Rather than ask, or command, Ahma chose to inquire more. Again, in that hushed echo, "Do you think you can get out? Do you think you'll be found? Do you think it's safe out there?" Again, Ahma stopped moving, only to practice making the kunai of crystals once more. Instead, she accidentally created a diamond wall, blocking part of the exit, just letting the smallest crack of light in.

... Well... That was not my intent.

… Shit, he was lost. This was likely not the way, was it? "… This isn’t… a path to Kuwana?” he silently let out in the dark, unsure where to look for whoever had just spoken back to him. It was a hushed voice, but was it… a female? A kunoichi, perhaps, was training down here, and he had probably interrupted her training… either that, or she was a marauder and he was in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

She hadn’t attacked him yet… but he could hear the crackling sound of breaking and forming debris. What sort of activity was that? Was she digging up the ground? Was she using some kind of Jutsu?

"… *gulp* Y-Yeah, you got me,” Kojirou replied back once the female asked him about being a long way from home… which was true. Even if he was a local Iwa nin, that would’ve still been true, but he was from an entire different country – his answer didn’t convey the entire meaning. "… Just on my way… to Kuwana. There’s a Chūnin Exam taking place there, soon…” Maybe he could just talk his way out of it – this person did seem to be talkative. Otherwise, he’d probably be…

Dead…

It made his hand shake a little. Still, he could at least find a way to flee – he had the means to cause confusion, and he could definitely melt through a wall of rock. So relax, Kojirou… don’t panic. Stop your shaking.

"… C-Could ask the same question to yo-" The echos, man, they came from everywhere! It was such a horrid, haunting tone! No, no, relax, relax, focus, take a deep breath…

"… I-I can get out, myself… if you try to kill me, you’ll gain nothing. Just let me… let me just turn back…” he spoke to the voice, done with being in this cave already. Voices and ghosts, the occult, it began clawing on him, and he had lost his patience. Upon turning back, he was met with the formation of crystals covering the exit, turning the dim place into total darkness…

"… D-D-Damn it… won’t let me leave, huh?” He couldn’t trust foreign places, man! She was definitely some sort of nukenin playing around with him at this point! And it was sooooooooooo dark… wait…

Lava Release, Rubber Saliva!

… Salivating lava on his index and middle finger to function as a lamp did so little. In fact, it more-so helped those nearby to him Kojirou rather than helping Kojirou see things in the dark. "… O-Okay… n-not playing around here. A-And not praying, either… or maybe, I am… j-just a little. S-So, uh… s-sorry, if I interrupted something here.”

It was as if Kojirou had been pushed to apologize via fear alone.

I wish you would die

Ahma just listened to the masculine voice, analyzing his words with each answer, choosing to remain quiet throughout. Well, as quiet as she can as be while trying to form a kunai out of crystals, she weaved the seals and concentrated hard, watching black crystals form into the shape of a kunai but crumbling away like dust. Okay, this is really starting to piss me off. Wait... Chūnin Exams? Ahma rose from crawling around to her feet. Eyes glaring at him. The boy started to say he could ask the same questions of her but as he tried to get the words out, but he stopped.

As Ahma questioned more, the boy was definitely shaken and determined to get out. He was right though, she had nothing to gain from killing him, and she also got nothing for letting him out. It's a waste of energy to aid or hurt him. She attempted to channel her chakra to form the Kunai but it didn't really do much at the moment. After she messed up and formed a wall, the boy shouted a jutsu name and went to like his fingers, Ahma made a cant of her head. That's... Well, that makes as much sense as... no, that just doesn't make sense.

Kojirou would realize his jutsu did more than give a little light as it reflected off all the crystal structures and debris, revealing a maroon-eye young woman just leering at him. She was wearing a gray tracksuit at the time with yellow accents. "You are apologizing for doing no wrong, man up, kid." Ahma's expression was of clear frustration but her words came out cool as ice. "You stated you were going to Kuwana for Exams, why waste your time? The way of shinobi has the arrogance of adults and sent children to war over their mistakes, why are you pursuing this career? You're terrified just because you don't know me, so what if someone else you don't comes up to try to kill you? Just based on your reaction, I'll be hard-pressed to believe you won't cower and pray for your life."

Ahma didn't care how hard her words hit, she hated shinobi, they killed her father and tried to make a clone of her, and her apparent shinobi clan and village didn't even come to rescue her, granted, she was born and raised outside of the country. Regardless, the teen didn't understand why this boy was adamant of sacrificing his life. "Sit and tell me your motive, drive, will... cause kid, I'm not letting you out to kill yourself after I try so hard to save people from being sent off and killed... not without a damn good reason." The girl stated with a tone of disbelief as she weaved the seals, formed, and threw a kunai, yet it still shattered on impact. The girl closed her eyes and shook her head before sitting, gesturing the boy to do the same.


SA(S) USED:
Onyx Nuke
Ahma is considered one of the generational lucky few who has access to the clan's most cherished ability. The Kekkai Tota, Shōton. Having access to crystal release sets up a wide array of possibilities of possible jutsu to learn and utilize. As with many advanced release abilities, having keys to the vault is only half the battle. Unlike the classic violet Amethyst of other Shōton users, Ahma's Crystals (unless specifically indicated by the jutsu) appear like Onyx in coloration.

天国の贈り物 | Tengoku no okurimono
Ahma learned her 'Heavenly Gift' from the clan's teachings. Her gift affects her Ninjutsu, allowing her to wield unique, powerful, neigh-impossible to replicate elemental enhancements to her elemental ninjutsu. Her Heavenly Gift also deviates from enhancing all her basic elements to focusing on two, Fūton and Doton. What this means is that inherently, Ahma's doton jutsus can act as a minuscule seismic sense when in active use. Her Fūton becomes harder to see, while it still has a translucent color when applicable, the jutsu overall comes out faster compared to other non-SA-enhanced ninjutsu specialists.

Unique Seal Adaptation
Every Tenchi clan member is taught unique handseals and instead, prayer gestures and sutras for Jutsu, Ahma is no different to this. As such she is considered an advanced level sealist [re: Handseals] in the art. This does not grant her speed in the hand seals of common ninjutsu, rather she has an edge in the delivery of her clan's specialized jutsu.

Fine like Jade
Through extraneous training in chakra usage, Ahma has developed an unnatural level of chakra control. While it still isn't perfected, she has learned to efficiently mitigate excess exhaust from the jutsus she casts and how to give the proper input for the desired output, rather than pouring as much as she can and hoping for the best.

… Wait… he could see multiple sources of light.

No, those weren’t actually multiple embers… but reflections! He was inside a cave surrounded in reflective surfaces, reflecting the light from his lava-coated fingers. That was when he spotted the source of the previous voices and took a single step back in a slightly defensive formation. Yet, the first thing she spoke of after this was that he was… sort of overreacting. Apologizing for nothing, according to her. It made a brow rise on his face, for he had just tried to be… well… he thought that she wanted to be left in peace and that he had intruded her somehow.

She didn’t sound friendly at all. Kojirou wasn’t that ready for what she spoke of – that the Chūnin Exams were a waste of time, that shinobi were arrogant, that children were sent to fight the war for the adults, that he was doing everyone a disservice… apparently. That wasn’t at all what Kojirou thought of when walking this path; yes, in the end, he was a young boy in his teen years, around 16 years old, enrolling in a life where he took on the responsibility of what would be considered an adult’s work. He had a blade, two of those to be precise, and he was supposedly going to kill. That was… what war was about.

But he hadn’t been to war. He hadn’t killed a man yet. Yet, his brows wrinkled in anger when she clearly mocked his lack of confidence, feeling a cold needle dig into his chest by how she answered a question he’d never had the guts to ask himself… not that he truly knew the answer, anyway. He was inclined to believe that she was right, which made him angry.

Why the hell did he fall down this hole? Even if she didn’t attack him, he regretted it greatly.

"Just what do you think you know…?” he groaned in a deeply annoyed tone; very uncharacteristic of him, to be exact. When he thought of adults, he thought of his senseis and of Chisai-neechan. He thought of Kizumi-sama, he thought of Shigure-senpai. He thought of his clan and of his parents. They weren’t cowardly individuals who just wanted him to do the heavy lifting for them, hell no! This creep didn’t know shit… or at least, that was what Kojirou thought of.

She invited him to sit. He knew, still, nothing about her… but despite the wrinkling eyes of annoyance, he did as told. He sheathed his katana and sat on his knees like he was used to do back home. Even in a situation such as this, it gave off a sign of respect to the kunoichi with the crystals around… either that or he was ready to leap and disappear at any time with this sitting. Either or.

She wanted to hear his reason… basically what drove him to go this far as a shinobi. Like an exam he hadn’t prepared for, he found himself silent at first, unsure what to answer with. Gradually, his face… it lost that anger in it, it grew softer and calmer. "…” What came to mind, first? Maybe that would be most honorable.

"… Okay… I’ll tell you,” he finally spoke up, "But I need to know something, before I can tell you… do you also have a special power?”

I wish you would die

The woman saw no fault in drilling into him and the fact she got a rise out of him proved to her he was either steadfast or dumb as rocks. No matter, she wanted to get under his skin, to see how he sees the world. Because right now, she just sees a system needing to be changed and quite possibly destroyed. Did it mean the people? Only ones who still believed in this bullshit reality, imposing their view on others, killing innocents, and tearing families apart. This boy clearly didn't fully understand what he was getting himself into, and Ahma preferred to save him now than come across his body, whatever his name was.

This boy was still young, an unpainted canvas, he can still save himself before it was too late, but she knew she couldn't save him. He seemed far beyond that point to even be saved, so she just had to convince him. Or he convince her why she was wrong and why he should be actively doing this. As Ahma sat down, she gestured for the boy to do the same, showing she had no malintent by being the first to sit. By asking what was inside him that drove him, his reflection washed the anger from his face and she made a very subtle half-smile gone as soon as it appeared.

The boy agreed to tell her but he had a question for her before giving his answers. Ahma's eyes remained on the boy as she steadied her breath. "This will answer a number of questions when I tell you. But, as you wish." Ahma took a deep breath as she made a few prayer gestures, formed like hand seals but clearly not any hand seals known throughout the world, upon finishing, she opened her palm and a kunai made of black crystals started to form and grow into the shape of a kunai. She threw it to the side and once again, it shattered on impact. "I can manipulate crystals with a special type of energy. Shinobi call this Shōtōn, Crystal Release, they also call it a Kekkai Touta. I never found out until my father and I went looking for medicine. A group of shinobi killed him and kidnapped me, hooking me up to some machine as they actively created a clone of me for two years. When the clone was mature, they told me to train it how to use Shōtōn. I couldn't so I lied and taught it only the basics I knew before killing it... and then my kidnappers. I found documents they had telling and showing me how to develop this so I took them. I guess my special power is that, or... you can say my special power is making sure no one goes through the same hell I did."

Ahma sighed and looked at the boy with a straight face but sad eyes. "Does that answer suffice?"

… This was heavy.

His deep eyes carefully inspected the distant crystal kunai as it shattered onto the side of the cavern. Crystal… Release? He’d heard of a handful Kekkei Genkai before, many like his own Yōton, but he’d never heard of Crystal Release before. She called it not a Kekkei Genkai, though… she called it a Kekkei Tōta. A term that Kojirou was unfamiliar with… but it sounded similar to a Kekkei Genkai. He remembered one of the scrolls in his clan mentioning it as a reference to something else, but it never got into detail… he’d have to read a little more about it later.

Either way, she possessed a unique Nature Transformation, just like him… but she only found out after the murder of her father and having been kidnapped by the persecuting shinobi. Hearing that, her distaste… understatement, but yeah, her distaste for shinobi became clear. A kunoichi with her special power wouldn’t have to hide in caves like these if her story was false, after all.

His eyes had widened at the notion that she was… cloned, sort of. A clone was made of her, and she had killed the clone as well as the kidnappers who created it. Kojirou was awfully silent, despite wanting to ask a little more about this clone… he figured that she wouldn’t appreciate interruptions.



Kojirou took a deep breath. In reality, it really was but a sense of upholding expectations and, y’know, duty. He was born in Kusagakure, he was raised in Kusagakure, and he definitely wanted to protect Kusagakure as a shinobi. Why would he desert his village? They’d done nothing to deserve that… but what village did she come from, then?

"… Yeah… it’s sufficient,” he responded at last, "They wanted to replicate your Kekkei Tōta. Make a clone of you that could follow them and their orders, make your special power their special power. I don’t know what your father did to draw them to kill him, but I can clearly see what they were after... how did you even end up- n-never mind...”

He quickly stopped himself from asking for further information from her. He had to think. "... I feel sorry hearing about what you went through. And what you say... makes some sense. My village does have high expectations of me.” It was a little dark still, but the embers reflecting across the crystals would be able to illuminate the headband hanging around his neck – with the symbol of the Grass embedded on it. "You said you think of me as a coward earlier... yes, I believe you’re right. I am a coward, and I can’t answer your request. I don’t know, exactly, if my village is an exception to your view or not... not yet.”

Kojirou slowly leaned over and gave Ahma a respective bow, both hands on the floor. "But if I pass these Exams... I may not be so cowardly anymore. I may be able to answer your question then.” The Chūnin Exams, while considered a proctoring examination of Genin ranging from many young ages, was still in possession of a mortality rate. If the deaths witnessed in the upcoming Exams were sufficient... then Kojirou’s entire life would take a turn for the worse. By then, he’d be able to answer her.

I wish you would die

As Ahma gave her explanation to the boy, she kept her eye open for a reaction. Whether it was for a good or bad one was of no concern, the only thing that mattered was A reaction. And she sort of got one, the more she spoke, the more the boy opposite of her began to realize something, likely her rationale. It looked almost as if he was in disbelief something like that can even happen, but for the girl, it did happen, and how she wished it didn't. Ahma finished but it was quickly followed by a question if that answer was sufficient.

The boy took a deep introspective sigh, one you'd hear when one was lost in their thoughts. The Nuke wondered if she may have broken the boy, honestly, a broken spirit would prove her point. She was rather hopeful but it was more cautious optimism, she doubted greatly that tale would be enough to have the boy reach to live rather than this collision course of death. After mere seconds that felt like a decade, the boy finally answered, stating it was indeed enough. He gave a summary of all that she explained, it was slightly irritating, but she knew it was a way some people cemented their knowledge.

He was about to ask a rather dangerous question, answering it would certainly dispel the mystery of her existence which is something she didn't want to clear. He did stop himself and the young woman just watched him as he corrected himself, motionless and rather poker-faced. Wait, after all of that, you can't even give your full pity? Well... doesn't matter anyway. I can already guess where the rest of this is going. The girl thought as she listened that his home indeed has high expectations of him. Slowly, the boy was playing into her hand, proving her in some sense right.

He tracked back to when she stated he was a coward and admitted that he was one. That he couldn't answer the question, that he was unsure if his village was an exception. Honestly, she wanted to throw him into every corner of this cavern, he still is using his village as his self-identity and that was exactly not what she wanted to know. She wanted to see this boy's truth, what he truly believed in, and how he felt about himself. It seemed he was a tad too dull to understand he was a person and not a tool.

Before she could judge him too harshly, the boy leaned low to the ground, full-on bowing to her like she was some god. It felt both nice and weird at the same time. He stated that after the coming Exams, he might not be so cowardly anymore and accurately answer her question. That thought just left a sour taste in her mouth, the boy was willing to risk going further down this road before reconsidering. Once again, Ahma did the seals needed to create the crystal kunai, throwing it to the wall as it bounced only momentarily before crumbling away.

"People are looking for me for a crime I didn't commit. I might not be here by the time these Exams are over, so if I'm not here for the answer, answer the question for yourself and see through and assure you follow through with your answer. I'll more than likely still be here, no one has been looking for me for a long time though... I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I can say if you must do this to find your answer; to find yourself then I cannot stop you." Ahma lifted a hand up and clenched her fist, the room got a little darker as the crystal wall fell apart behind Kojirou, well, until a little more natural light came in, but still rather dark.

The girl created another crystal kunai and it lodged into the wall on the side. "You have two choices, neither is a wrong choice. You can leave and go take these exams, come back a better, stronger man. Or you can spend a few moments and help me train." The girl repeated the crystal kunai again, again, and again. All the results were the same. It brought clear frustration to her face but it was whatever, she just continued training like she didn't just give a lecture and soul-searching question.

Every Tenchi clan member is taught unique handseals and instead, prayer gestures and sutras for Jutsu, Ahma is no different to this. As such she is considered an advanced level sealist [re: Handseals] in the art. This does not grant her speed in the hand seals of common ninjutsu, rather she has an edge in the delivery of her clan's specialized jutsu.

Fine like Jade
Through extraneous training in chakra usage, Ahma has developed an unnatural level of chakra control. While it still isn't perfected, she has learned to efficiently mitigate excess exhaust from the jutsus she casts and how to give the proper input for the desired output, rather than pouring as much as she can and hoping for the best.

Huh… how suspicious. Ahma was persecuted; according to herself, it was for a crime that she didn’t commit. Kojirou couldn’t help but raise a brow, still bowing down towards her… kind of suspicious, yes. What had she not done which those outside were hunting her down for? It was but a genuine question echoing in his head…

It meant that, should she be found here, he wouldn’t be able to find her again. Most likely, this would be the first and last time meeting Ahma, a strange soul hanging out in caves, hiding from the outside world for more than one reason. She didn’t sound very angry anymore, but she had merely warned him. Why she expected something specific like that from him… for him to find his own answer… that, he couldn’t tell. He was still a stranger. By all means, he shouldn’t have stayed here, right?

And yet, something was different with this Ahma person. Maybe it was her voice, reminiscent of Chisai-neechan’s, or maybe it was the unpredictable questioning. She hadn’t attempted to mug him at any point, she hadn’t attacked him at any point, and if he was a guessing man, then he’d believe that he wasn’t caught in some Genjutsu at the moment, getting ransacked in reality.

In the end, he was free to leave… or help her train. That was when the Honō spirit in him defied reason. "Sure, I got time… I mean…” he tried to clear his throat and speak up again, "Might as well treat this as a part of my promotion. Training with someone as unique as a Shōton user... I can’t pass that up.” Perhaps, indirectly, the intrigue he held in learning about other shinobi gave off a hint to his answer yet to be found.

He finally rose up on his feet and grabbed his sheath. The natural lighting from the tunnelway gave off a bit of illumination, letting Kojirou’s pupils shrink again. "Honō Kojirou, at your temporary service.”

Ahma cracked a small smile on her lips. He had a choice, one she didn't really pressure if at all. He made the decision on his own in regards to training."Well, Kojirou-san, it's a pleasure to meet you. You must forgive me but for the reasons I gave, I can only unveil my name as Ahma." She stated as she tried to make the Kunai again, only to throw it and watch it crumble before completely falling apart even before it hit the wall. Ahma let out a quiet sigh. She turned to Kojirou and got a flash of an idea. "Hey, I don't know what you want to train at but can you give me a quick rundown on how to mold... chakra again?" She knew how but she maybe needed a quick review, maybe that was all she needed to figure her trick out.

Once she completed that, she'd be more than willing to help Koji with whatever he wanted to train. Since he made it known the Exams were coming around, she presumed he would just want strength and speed training. One would be harder to train in a cave but if he can train it, more power to him. But, if he wanted to train something else, well, Ahma would have to get creative. She rubbed her temples as she tried to think how to do this. "What do you want to train, Kohi, you can kinda guess what I'm trying to train."

Ahma is considered one of the generational lucky few who has access to the clan's most cherished ability. The Kekkai Tota, Shōton. Having access to crystal release sets up a wide array of possibilities of possible jutsu to learn and utilize. As with many advanced release abilities, having keys to the vault is only half the battle. Unlike the classic violet Amethyst of other Shōton users, Ahma's Crystals (unless specifically indicated by the jutsu) appear like Onyx in coloration.

Ahma learned her 'Heavenly Gift' from the clan's teachings. Her gift affects her Ninjutsu, allowing her to wield unique, powerful, neigh-impossible to replicate elemental enhancements to her elemental ninjutsu. Her Heavenly Gift also deviates from enhancing all her basic elements to focusing on two, Fūton and Doton. What this means is that inherently, Ahma's doton jutsus can act as a minuscule seismic sense when in active use. Her Fūton becomes harder to see, while it still has a translucent color when applicable, the jutsu overall comes out faster compared to other non-SA-enhanced ninjutsu specialists.

Ahma, huh… that made him wonder. Was she, perhaps, really a sort of fugitive? A Nuke-nin, even? That would explain why she refrained from telling him her full name in return… but he was a Genin. And he still needed to get to Kuwana in one piece… so he simply decided to not wonder any further about that. It was for his own best, in the end.

Her kunai… those made of crystals, they didn’t last very long, huh? His Lava Shuriken could last longer than that, but maybe she wasn’t that adept in using her Kekkei Tōta. Maybe it was just naturally more difficult to control a Kekkei Tōta than a Kekkei Genkai... although, her question did throw him off. Mold chakra? "Oh... I mean, can I see your handseals, first? Molding chakra depends a lot on the handseals you perform... unless if you’re just that good at molding chakra naturally, but... I don’t know anyone like that. See here.”

He would demonstrate by weaving three handseals himself – very common and known handseals to the ordinary shinobi. Then, between his fingers, he would suddenly manifest dripping lava that would quickly solidify into a pair of glowing shuriken in each hand – sort of like the Jutsu with the kunai that she was trying to manifest. Upon throwing the Lava Shuriken in one direction, they would not lose their form even when digging into the dark walls, only melting down after a little time for extra effect.

"Handseals, in my opinion, kind of do the job for you. Each handseal kind of tells you just how much chakra needs to be molded for a specific Jutsu, so... hmh... still, I’d like to see your handseals. The darkness from earlier didn’t let me see them.”

The set of handseals was brought to question. Ahma converted most of her seals were prayer gestures but that was due to her birthright having been continued to be ingrained in her personality by her father. The Nuke thought hard on how she could convert the current gestures to a more traditional set of handseals as he further explained how chakra is molded and proceeded to demonstrate what he meant. Ahma watched closely, keeping her eyes on the placement and formation. The handseals were common ones, quite honestly the bare basics, but they created something not so basic. Lava Shuriken. Ahma's eyes just widened, quite shocked he was holding bare lava in between his fingers like he was unable to get burned, before throwing them at the cave wall. Her eyes glued to them as they hit the wall, dripping burning lava into the ground yet still retaining their shape. How... What even is that?

Shaken from her stupor, the Hachisuka's attention returned to Kojirō, and she listened to every word he said. She digested his words as he explained that the handseals do the job for her on the chakra portion; dictating how much she needed. She just looked at him, confused, not because he wasn't making sense, more so confused that they tell her how much is needed. She kinda just used chakra after her gestures and citing the sutras needed. She was never told she was needed to use a specific amount and that it varied with each jutsu. He asked again for her handseals, citing that the dark had blocked his vision of them earlier, but, she literally just watched him. She half felt embarrassed she didn't do something asked, half thought he was stupid for not noticing what could be a very big motion.

"So, my ability lets me use prayer gestures, they are different from shinobi handseals but maybe this jutsu needs those but anyways..." First she did prayer gestures, first one signified sharp object, the next was for knife. Crystals started forming into her hand in the shape of a kunai before stopping and turning into crystal dust. She sighed. "What are the closest handseals to "sharp object" and "knife"?" She asked, aware that the standard 12 related to some animal but she was at a loss which animal set would be apt to try.

Ahma's Seismic Sense is not a true dedicated sensing ability but instead, a passive effect/bonus of a Doton Jutsu, thus, each Doton Jutsu has this added benefit only when the Doton jutsu is in active use. Not being dedicated nor is it is it fully powerful, the ranges are extremely weak, only serving more as accuracy than true sensing.

Each range* is divided by rank of the Jutsu and behaves conversely than expected. This is due to the concentration of higher ranking jutsus require. This Seismic Sense reads vibrations on the ground and thus cannot sense those above ground or on water.

E-Rank Sensing Range: 90 Meters

D-Rank Sensing Range: 75 Meters

C-Rank Sensing Range: 60 Meters

B-Rank Sensing Range: 45 Meters

Prayer gestures… wait, those weren’t just handseals? Did that mean… she could manifest Jutsus without handseals? Like, actual Ninjutsu of that level? Now, that just made his head spin – how was that even possible? No, no, no, there had to be another explanation to this. Still, his resulting Jutsu had proved more consistent results than hers, so maybe she was actively handicapping her ability with those gestures… were they traditional? Part of the Kekkei Tōta?

Okay, wait – sharp object, huh? Kojirou… frankly… had no damn, bloody clue at first. Like, okay, wait, handseals did mean something, but… maybe what she meant was what handseals were usually used for sharp object-like Jutsus. Sharp… sharp, sharp, sharp…

"Tori,” Kojirou spoke up at last, "Many of the Shuriken Jutsus that I’ve seen use the Tori seal. Y’know, this seal.” He would try and approach her, so that the dark area wouldn’t impede her view of his hands as he simply rested both upon each other, then lifted pinky and ring fingers of each up in the air. When they rested upon their counterparts all stretched out, he crooked his middle and index finger around each other, and then he let the knees of his thumbs bump into each other to symbolize the bird.

"This is the Tori seal… try and see if this hand seal does something.”

Her question quite visibly stumped Kojirō, he thought of a substitute Ahma could use, he finally came to an answer. Well, one and that was Tori, also known as the bird seal. She nodded her head and the woman watched as the boy crossed his fingers to display the seal. She remembered using that seal a few times. She formed the seal and Ahma watched as crystals seemingly bled through her skin. "Give me the strength to defend myself." Ahma whispered, foreign to Koji completely but to her was completely normal. The crystals raced in front of her hands and formed an object that looked like a Kunai. She transitioned to clapping her hands, a stable in Tenchi Kyoumon jutsu.

The kunai formed in it's crystal entirety in front of her and the Kunoichi grabbed it. Feeling the weight of the created weapon, the woman nodded as she hurled the small weapon to the ceiling, watching as it pierced and held its form above. "Give me a second." The woman jumped to the top of the gave and just said a single word. "Walk." And she stuck to the ceiling, walking to the kunai as she pulled it out dropping from her elevated position and landed where she came from, smashing the crystalline construct on the ground, eyes widening when it didn't break but instead stuck to the ground.

She pulled out an actual kunai as she threw up in the air the construct, hitting the blade full force and watching it just fly and stab into the opposite wall. She just looked up like something was calling her. She looked at the kunai again and clapped one more, watching it crumble into dust. She turned at the male boy with a big smile before moving with unprecedented speed and hugged him. "Thank you, Kojirō! I spent five hours trying to do this and you helped me in minutes." Ahma backed away and looked at the boy. "Is there anything you need? I owe you my deepest gratitude!" She did the exact same thing and this time, four formed and she threw them all, clapping her hands with a huge smile.
