[Nōhime Sabishī]

Sabishi had been an "alright" member of the Nohime clan. She didn't really do anything to shame them in any way, and a few years ago, she might have been a very prospective member, having passed her Chunin Exams on the first attempt, and having quite well as an aspiring Kunoichi. Then, she found herself not promoting, remaining in her rank for a number of years, continuing her studies and research at the hospital, doing the menial life of a Genin. However, considering Yoshiko had allowed for this meeting today? The first thing Sabishi said when coming in was probably a bit of a surprise. "I'd like for you to teach me Jinton." 

Sabishi stood before her, having grown into a beautiful young woman. Seventeen years of age, vibrant, and with a seeming bright future ahead of her. "I've found out I have the capability to do it, and now, I feel like I can really enhance my career by learning from the best." Bowing her head politely, she'd clap her hands together and bow her head low. "I'd be honored if you'd guide me and take me as your student." Remembering the mission they did some years ago, she hoped her relative would take interest in the prospect of an apprentice. Someone she could work alongside, as Sabishi's eyes seemed hopeful.

Now, the real question was if she had the time or the will to help her out. Or if she had any questions or conditions of to be set. After all. It'd been a long time since Sabishi'd become particularly active in the clan at large. Kind of minding her own business and taking time for herself and her development. "I don't have much, but I don't expect your help to be for free of course. I'd be willing to give you what I have, and if you need any food pills or some medical remedies. I can help with that." 

[Nohime Yoshiko]

Yoshiko often found her pen hand in motion, it was hard not to in her position. She'd be burdened with clan relations, jounin evaluations and even some covert SHAKAR side work. There'd been a form or letter open on her desk, she'd been in the motion of signing things. Until this 'appeared' on her desk. It could wait though, as she'd been expecting a guest in her office within the compound.

Sabishi was family so there'd be no special escorts or sudden security. The Nohime head felt safe surrounded by her clan, she'd never acted to wrong them. They'd all stood by her long enough to have her full trust as a patriot. Entering would be no problem, but there'd be no pleasantries as first thing the younger kunoichi spoke was 'Teach me Jinton'. A bold approach that'd likely get the ire of most masters.

"I can teach you Jinton, Sabishi-chan~" Yoshiko would state with a bright smile, of course she'd have to shake off the blunt dialogue dump. Not a single hello or how're you, but many in her clan knew her typical business. She had certainly a lot of things on her shoulders, but she had the light weighted rock technique to lighten them. "No payment necessary. I want the best for our village and clan, it's my duty as head to best prepare you for whatever task might be at hand." Yoshiko would explain plainly and without fail. Every word sung a happy tune and there was always a slight crease in her cheek to present her unwavering smile.

She was greeted rather warmly by Yoshiko, and frankly, over the years, while they hadn't been in touch the closest, one might have figured it would have been a surprise. After all, Jinton users were rare. The last time her having met officially for "one on one time", was back when they did a mission together to go fell some bandits. "Thank you." It was simple, but she gave another small bow of respect, and with it, Yoshiko did seem relatively bright and vibrant about the whole thing. So, as she entered the office, gazing her over? She slowly thought about it in its entirety. "Well..."

"Surely there's something I could do?" After all, it wasn't like she was just asking her to teach her some random simple thing. It was Jinton. The legacy of their clan. What made them feared and one of the most powerful clans in the ninja world, at least in terms of raw destructive power. Though, assuming she insisted that there was nothing she wanted? Pressed no terms at that? Sabishi found herself calming herself down at the approach, folding her arms neatly behind her back. "I guess the first thing to ask is...? Where do we start?" Sabishi hadn't really explored much in depth on Yoshiko's personal life. 

Maybe because she seemed pretty vibrant. What was there to know? Well. To know that was any of her business? 

"I...don't have much experience you see." 

[Nohime Yoshiko]

"I ask nothing of you, because they'll be a time Iwagakure needs you. When that time comes, you'll answer it's call and ask for nothing in return. You'll learn that greatness comes from this village, that no tragedy would be greater than it's fall and that even if it fell you'd carry on it's will till your dying breath." Yoshiko would speak with a booming voice, as it'd be meant to be commanding. Though it was hard to fully grasp through the upbeat cheer that was her general persona. Despite her almost carefree happy demeanor, her aura was still powerful and commanding. The likes of her Jinton far surpassing her father's now.

Explaining her patriotism, she'd have straighten her posture. One arm folded behind her back, as she'd raise a fist to her heart with her other arm. Completing this display of military professionalism, she'd quickly loosen up and ease her arms back to her side. The question of how they'd begin was a good one, but it was one she was all the more happy to answer. As she'd had the perfect jutsu her father and her designed. It was a bit harder to perform than the jutsu she started, but it's purpose was far more long standing.

"We'll start with dust release solar flare, a technique I developed early on. It is not the best application of Jinton, but it creates a comfortable 'out' for future techniques. A safety precaution of sorts." Yoshiko would explain her planned first jutsu to relay. It was a brief explanation, but it wasn't like she planned for them to start anything in her office. There were far too many risks in attempting Jinton here. The amount of important documents that could accidentally go up in flames.

"It's okay, we've all got to start somewhere. Our start will be containment, so you can be assured you're in safe hands." The Nohime would add, as she'd understand how scary Jinton was to others. It wasn't like they were immune to it's effects like some clans seemed to with their advanced natures. Everything they did carried a very real risk to be concerned about.

How graceful and altruistic those words sounded. "By all means. I'm here to answer the call. Whenever Iwa needs me." She responded in turn, planting her right fist over her heart. Mirroring Yoshiko's motion. Though in truth, she wasn't too sure about the fall of their village. It seemed like an impossible idea in reality. After all. How could she imagine that? Their village was filled with monstrously powerful people and a rich plethora of abilities and skills that made it seem impossible to falter. Other than perhaps by itself and its hubris. However, what came next was a surprise.

"A solar flare?...A blinding technique?" Sabishi was a well scholarly girl, and she knew that staring at something like that could do serious damage, if not impediment to the eyesight. That, and it's what the technique sounded like it was for. However, she found herself crossing her hands behind her back, as Yoshiko explained then the technique would begin with the concept of containment. Digesting that, she knew she'd already tried both that and the shaping in the miniscule degrees. It was incredibly difficult, slow, grueling, and taxing. She'd burned her hands more than a few times by practicing the general movement of the concept detailed in the scrolls.

"...I know this might sound a bit stupid." Sabishi declared as she began following after Yoshiko to wherever they needed to go. "How exactly am I supposed to contain the Jinton chakra properly? It feels like the energy wants to spill and leak out and burn my hands. When I try to make it take a shape, it's usually too unstable and it breaks. Bursting and spilling out from the sides." Also! Usually burning her hands in the process. There had to be some trick or tip that Sabsihi wasn't getting here. It almost felt as if Jinton was more fluid than she was used to. Much different than the harsh and unyielding nature of stone.

[Nohime Yoshiko]

"It has an effect similar to that and ends up fulfilling that purpose. However it's got an important use for Nohime like yourself in training." The Nohime princess would respond quickly. It was true the jutsu ended up working in combat as a blinding technique. It's creation and function though were for training jinton, as to prevent the very thing which happened to Kouen. It'd also likely help prevent the very situation Sabishi was explaining.

Yoshiko would choose to lead Sabishi up to the top of the complex, the building was three stories tall and it's structure was largely stone. The roof would be not the flattest or safest place to stand, but it was otherwise completely clear of easily damaged structures. It was a nice and bright day with low cloud coverage, there'd be however a solid half of the complex under a certain level of 'shade'. It didn't get the full beat of the sun, as the mountains around the village provided cover between certain hours.

They'd likely only have an hour of shade, but Yoshiko had no problem training in the sun. Iwagakure had hot days, but nothing compared to visiting Sanosuke's chuunin exams. The land of wind was a terrible place to be, she couldn't imagine being a native or worst a shinobi in Sunagakure. The very thought made this moment of shade all the more enjoyable, as she'd turn to Sabishi and formulate a good reply to the question last asked.

"It's hard to contain jinton and that's what makes the element so hard to develop. However, if you're focused solely on containment, then you can create it without the destructive substance to fill it." Yoshiko would explain, as she'd perform one of her non-offensive jinton techniques. Creating a small cube, she'd raise it up, cause it to pulse once. Then it'd shatter at the sides releasing only the slightest of shifting air. Hence why containment would be their first bit of knowledge, as much as her feat right now was a good display. It wasn't actually a technique to convey, merely a show of the Clan leaders manipulation of elements.

JINTON: MIHARI KYŪBU [DUST RELEASE: SENTRY CUBE]

[Nōhime Sabishī]

She blinked at the wisdom. So it was possible to make just the outline shape? "I see..." She found herself in truth fearful at times to try to perform Jinton. More often than not, it was incredibly painful, and she'd read instances of past practitioners losing limbs or fingers in the attempts of performing it overzealously and without careful consideration. She looked at her bandaged hands, and she slowly clapped them together. Concentrating on her chakra as she closes her eyes.

"Jinton..." Imagining the outline of the cube, she imagined perhaps it was a lot like using just wind and earth. Containing the particulates with a wind shape. Just the smallest bit of Katon chakra as to give the outline the shape. She slowly pulls her hands apart, and she could see within her palms the spark. The fizzling, as she sees it beginning to glow up. She spread her hands a bit too quickly. The cube dispersing before it could even form. Taking a deep breath, she could feel a bead of sweat forming along her forehead. Despite the shade. For in truth, she was worried. Her heart beat a little harder each time she tried to form a Jinton structure.

"...Any tips you'd have to help ease the anxiety?" She felt her fingers and wrists lightly shaking. As she breaths and tries to steady herself. "I'm scared that a single wrong mistake could take more off from me than I would have bargained."

[Nohime Yoshiko]

Yoshiko couldn't help feeling her own level of nervousness, it wasn't over the fact they were practicing Jinton. It wasn't the risks to which jinton provided. She was a very talented sensor, so she could tell what was going to happen. Her eyes had an ability to discern the lights and visual shape created, her ears could hear the very subtle shift of wind with the chakra concentration. Her sensory let her so close even have it's own feel, the flow of chakra the hesitation.

Even more clear to the older Nohime, it'd seem her cousin wasn't even able to face the challenge. Their eyes closing. It wasn't really the right move, but she could see where the practice came from. Out of sight, out of mind. The anxiety wasn't a factor to be hidden, it was apparently the first major crux. Sabishi would ask Yoshiko if she had a means to get past the anxiety.

Despite her concern for the younger kunoichi a bright and confident smile still held true. "The deletion is effective too containment, so you'll want to watch the shape you perform. If you're outside of it you're safe, but more importantly if you focus everything on the containment first, then you'll never produce anything dangerous." Ultimately they'd accomplish very little creating a contained space of chakra.

"However, you'll never get better at deleting, if you don't focus on the force which deletes within the containment cube. Which is what we'll learn here today, if you take this functioning cube. Focus in on the corners closest to you or the opposite direction you want to flash. While simultaneously pulling control and though from the opposite side, then..." Yoshiko would explain as she'd actively effect the jinton shape she created. Ultimately ending up aiming the cube away from both her and Sabishi, it was still visible to both. The side closest to them seeming to bright as the other end seemed to almost collapse in on itself, as it did the whole thing would 'explode'. Though it was less a blast and more a flash, an odd feeling of warmth and shifting air.

[Nōhime Sabishī]

With the explanation given, it really was a bit of a relief to know that she wasn't going to disintegrate herself, and that she wasn't at risk so long as she kept the shape contained. It didn't mean that making it was any less difficult. She could hardly keep it together, and it took her quite some time just to get the shape right. She was making a three dimensional shape out of her chakra, utilizing her chakra to give it shape and form. Even with her chakra control, it could be considered...challenging.

"That's...good to know." She could feel the beads of sweat forming along her head as she clapped her hands together. Envisioning the cube, she does it again, and with it, she slowly gets the familiar feeling, and really takes her time to get the shape just right. The shape slowly coalescing and forming within her hands before she spreads her hands apart to get a small cube. Before she attempts to spread it out wider, to make the shape grow. It turned out that her viewset was wrong all this time. There was no need to mix all of the elements at once. The elements were applied gradually to make that destructive force their Kekkei Tota was known for.

"...This is the most challenging chakra control exercise I think I've ever done." She says truthfully, holding her hands outward. However, she had it. Sure, the shape was shaky and somewhat wobbling at the edges, but the important thing was that the shape was held within her grasp. Before she slowly raises her hands upward with the shape in turn.

[Nohime Yoshiko]

"Of course, it's apart of why dust release techniques are so costing." Yoshiko would respond to Sabishi's slight struggle, it wasn't anything to be ashamed. The genin after all had mastered none of the jutsu nor the affinity. This was in a sense the beginning of her journey. She'd have a lot further to go, but the clan head would do her best to help.

Positioning herself to the side and slightly behind Sabishi, the older Nohime would reach out her arm slightly above Sabishi's. Extending her own chakra and using both her mastery of control and sensory; Yoshiko would channel her chakra to aid the genin with this attempt. To prevent things from going chaotically wrong and to help assure instructions were followed.

"Now I need you to remove focus from the wall of this cube furthest from us. You can also think of it as reinforcing your focus upon the four corners closest to your hand." Extending her control she'd assure the back of this cube would be infallible, so it'd just be on the genin to release the control of the shaping more or less. If performed properly the jinton cube would more or less shatter, shrinking in on the side facing the two Nohime, but expanding and seemingly ripping open on the side facing away. The typically destructive jinton chakra would release essentially harmlessly in a blinding flash.
