An took a step back, mentally replaying Shō's slow and precise demonstration. She was determined to put his teachings into practice and show that she could master this technique with better control. This time, she took extra care in channeling her chakra, focusing on finding that delicate balance between quantity and size.
[break][break]
Her chakra flowed smoothly, and the spores began to form in her hands. She could feel the gentle pulse of chakra within her, responding to her commands. An adjusted the flow with utmost precision, making the spores slightly larger while maintaining their number. It was almost perfect. With a calm and steady hand, she released the spores into the air. They scattered gracefully, covering a wide area with a mesmerizing display. An couldn't help but smile; she was so close to achieving the level of mastery she had aspired to.
[break][break]
But just when it seemed like she had succeeded, a sudden gust of wind, stronger than she had anticipated, swept through the training area. The wind carried her spores away, dispersing them in all directions, far beyond her intended target. An's smile faded, replaced by a look of disappointment. She turned to Shō, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "I was almost there," she muttered with a hint of frustration. "But I underestimated the wind. I should have considered its strength more carefully."
[break][break]
An, determined not to be discouraged by the previous setback, took a moment to observe the wind patterns around her. She noted the subtleties in its speed and direction, trying to get a better understanding of how it might affect her technique. With renewed focus, she centered herself and began to channel her chakra once more. This time, An made sure her chakra control was impeccable. She felt the spores forming in her hands, their size and quantity precisely balanced. She breathed steadily, aligning herself with the rhythm of the wind. As she released the spores into the air, she adjusted their trajectory to compensate for the wind's influence.
[break][break]
The spores scattered with grace and precision, following the path An had envisioned. They covered the intended area in a beautiful, evenly distributed pattern. An's eyes sparkled with satisfaction, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of pride at her improved control. She turned to Shō, a triumphant smile on her face. "I did it, Shō-niisan!" she exclaimed.
[break][break]
An, emboldened by her recent success, was eager to demonstrate her improved technique once more. She focused intently on her chakra control, channeling it with precision as she formed the spores in her hands. This time, she even managed to make them slightly larger and more numerous while maintaining the balance. With confidence, she released the spores into the air, carefully adjusting their trajectory to account for the wind's influence. At first, everything seemed to be going well. The spores scattered beautifully, just as she had intended, covering a wider area than before.
[break][break]
However, as she continued to push herself to create even more spores and make them larger, she began to overexert her chakra once again. The control she had maintained started to slip away, and the spores began to waver and flicker. An's brow furrowed in concentration as she desperately tried to regain control, but it was too late. Her chakra, depleted from the excessive effort, became erratic. The spores scattered unevenly and erratically, failing to cover the intended area once more. An's expression shifted from triumph to frustration as she realized her mistake, and she couldn't hide her disappointment. "Not again," she muttered to herself quietly.

[break][break]
An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.

[break][break]
As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.
[break][break]

[break][break]
An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

Shō carefully observed An’s efforts from a distance. Despite her initial setbacks, An was not faltered at all, and she kept on practising with the same burning determination as if it was her first time. Her persistence ultimately paid off as she managed to pull off the technique a step closer to perfection, not world class, but not too shabby either.
[break][break]
And she seemed to realise it too, as she quickly dashed toward him to share the success and attempted to demonstrate it again. However, the second attempt was thwarted by the capricious wind. Seeing her smile diminish and disappointment take its place, Shō softly patted her on the head and offered comforting words, "An, I witnessed your remarkable progress. Consistency is all that's left."
[break][break]
With a reassuring smile, he continued, "An, mastery takes time. You've got the dedication and talent; it's simply a matter of practice. You can incorporate this into your daily training. But there's one crucial aspect we need to focus on. It's a practical application test."
[break][break]
Shō's expression turned serious. "Now, for the final phase of your training, you'll engage in a solo duel with oniisan." As someone who had participated in numerous battles himself, he knew how important practical application is. The pressure of battle could significantly impact jutsu performance, and there was no better way to improve it other than immersing oneself into actual combat. Of course, it wouldn’t be an all-out duel, just a simple battle that put the spores jutsu into practise.

Despite the initial frustration, she understood the importance of practical application in honing her skills. The prospect of a solo duel both excited and intimidated her, but she was ready to face the challenge. With a deep breath, An focused on the upcoming challenge. She knew that applying the spores jutsu in a real battle scenario would require even greater control and adaptability. Shō's encouragement fueled her spirit, and she was eager to prove that she could not only master the technique but also utilize it effectively in combat.
[break][break]
An seized the opportunity to showcase the newly mastered technique, the Hōshi Sanran Jutsu, as her opening move in the duel. With a quick succession of hand seals, she focused her chakra, forming a concentrated cloud of chakra-infused spores in her hands. The spores emitted dazzling colors, ready to disorient and obstruct Shō's vision.
[break][break]
In a swift motion, An released the spores into the air. The vibrant colors danced around, creating a mesmerizing display that filled the battlefield. The sudden burst of colors was designed to catch Shō off guard, disrupting his focus and providing An with a strategic advantage. As the spores spread, An moved with calculated precision, using the distraction to reposition herself strategically. She aimed to take advantage of Shō's momentarily impaired vision, setting the stage for her subsequent attacks.
[break][break]
With a burst of speed, An launched a series of precise and calculated taijutsu strikes. Her movements were fluid, and she aimed for Shō's vulnerabilities with a combination of punches and kicks.

Shō, though momentarily caught off guard by the burst of colours, quickly regained his composure. He admired his sister's tactical approach, using the distraction created by the vibrant spores to her advantage. Before her taijutsu strikes approached, Shō, with his eyes still closed due to being blinded earlier, quickly formed a few hand seals to create a mushroom shield on her hand.
[break][break]
Foreseeing his sister's strikes, Shō skillfully swung the shield around with his impaired vision, effectively blocking the incoming attacks. Without opting for any counteroffensive move, Shō gracefully retreated from An after she had completed her moves. Discarding the mushroom shield with a flick, he gently brushed his eyes and opened them to commend his sister, saying, "That's a great attempt." And immediately after the compliment, he retaliated with the very same jutsu, "Hoshi Sanran no Jutsu!"
[break][break]
The air filled with thick, cloudy spores the moment Shō released his hand seals. Exposed to sunlight, the spores burst into a radiant stream of light. Demonstrating precise control over the spores with his chakra control, Shō directed the burst of brilliance specifically toward An. Seizing the chance created by the distraction, he approached her swiftly, and attempted to give her a light nudge.

As the radiant burst of spores filled the battlefield, An momentarily found herself captivated by the display of colors. However, her ninja instincts kicked in, and she quickly regained focus, skillfully sidestepping Shō's attempt to nudge her amid the dazzling spectacle.
[break][break]
Performing a fluid backflip, An distanced herself from Shō, her keen eyes assessing the lingering spores dancing in the air. A playful glint shone in her eyes as she acknowledged Shō's effective countermove. "Nice try, Shō-niisan," she quipped, a confident smile playing on her lips. "But I'm not that easily distracted."
[break][break]
Without missing a beat, An executed a swift series of hand seals, seamlessly melding into the ground with the Iko Jutsu. The earth embraced her, concealing her form and allowing her to vanish from sight. In a blink, she reappeared just a few meters from Shō, taking full advantage of the element of surprise.

Launching a quick and precise strike, An aimed to exploit the opening she had created. Before Shō could fully react, she retreated once again, utilizing the Hoshi Sanran no Jutsu to release a burst of blinding light. The spores, caught in the sunlight, added another layer of disorientation to the battlefield.
[break][break]
Capitalizing on Shō's temporarily impaired vision, An seamlessly melded into the ground once more, hoping to get close enough for another surprise attack.
[break][break]
But would that work or not depend solely on Shō's response?

An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.

As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.

An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

Like brother, like sister. An gracefully evaded the incoming attack, relying on her keen instincts. Sho, observing the familiar move that he himself had employed against her, couldn't help but be impressed. A warm smile played on his lips as he acknowledged his sister's remarkable progress since becoming a genin. "Keep it up, and you'll surpass your onii-san in no time." he praised and encouraged his sister again.
[break][break]
Before he could conclude his sentence, An initiated her counterattack, seamlessly employing the Iko jutsu to meld into the earth. However, what she failed to recognize was that the jutsu wasn't optimised for the purpose she intended. Can’t blame her though, as it was a common mistake made by many young Gure. It was time for the older brother to impart a valuable lesson to his younger sibling.
[break][break]
"Iko isn't fast enough to evade jutsu or launch a swift attack," Shō remarked, a note of instruction in his tone. As An emerged from the ground and executed a light strike, it appeared to land successfully. Yet, it was soon evident that it was a water clone, shattering into a water puddle with a distinctive glass-like sound.
[break][break]
"But nice try." The real Shō complimented from his position, perched on a tree branch. His words carried genuine acknowledgment, for An's attempt was indeed a tactic he had been experimenting with himself. However, he understood that refining such manoeuvres to be swift enough to evade attacks required considerable effort and refinement. The process could take years, even decades, and success was not guaranteed. Yet, the prospect of becoming the first person to perfect it ignited a determined spark within him, compelling Shō to continue exploring and pushing the boundaries of his abilities.
[break][break]
Slapping his palms together, Shō mirrored the jutsu An had used. However, he didn't rush through it; instead, he focused on balancing his chakra meticulously before gradually submerging into the ground. This deliberate approach was part of his self-imposed training regimen to ensure the efficient execution of the jutsu. With that, both siblings disappeared from sight, leaving only birds and insects to roam the surface.

As An's strike phased through the water clone, she quickly realized the intricacies of the Iko Jutsu, and her brother's wisdom sank in. Shō's voice echoed from his concealed position, offering both praise and constructive feedback. An absorbed the lesson with a nod, appreciating the chance to learn from her brother's experience.
[break][break]
"Thank you, Shō-niisan," she responded, a mixture of gratitude and determination in her voice. "I'll keep it in mind." An's eyes sparkled with renewed focus as she mentally noted the adjustments she needed to make in her approach to the Iko Jutsu. The absence of her brother and herself from the battlefield left a tranquil silence, interrupted only by the sounds of nature.
[break][break]
As the tranquil silence persisted, An decided to reemerge from the ground, opting for caution over persistence. With a focused release of chakra, she gracefully ascended, her eyes scanning the surroundings as she resurfaced. The battlefield appeared unchanged, a serene canvas of nature, but the absence of any sign of Shō left An on high alert.
[break][break]
Taking a defensive stance, with a kunai in her hand An's senses were heightened as she remained vigilant, unsure of her brother's whereabouts. The lessons from Shō echoed in her mind, reminding her of the need for adaptability and strategic thinking. Though she couldn't pinpoint Shō's location, she remained poised, ready to respond to any potential attack.
[break][break]
The air held a suspenseful stillness, broken only by the soft rustling of leaves and the distant sounds of nature. An's eyes darted from one point to another, searching for any subtle movement or sign of her brother's presence.

In the midst of the suspenseful stillness, Shō, concealed beneath the earth, took his time in sensing An's cautious movements. While he couldn't observe through his eyes - he couldn't see while underground, obviously - he could feel her position, working similarly to the Hiding like a Mole Technique. With more chakra as an adult and superior chakra control, Shō could stay submerged longer than his sister. Nevertheless, he understood the impracticality of expending excessive chakra under the ground. "There is no point hiding forever underneath..."
[break][break]
As mentioned earlier, the Ikō Jutsu wasn't designed for swift use. However, Shō persisted in experimenting and refining the jutsu, aiming to increase its speed. Despite frequent failures, his exceptional chakra control allowed him to make his reemergence somewhat quieter. The underlying principle resembled that of walking on trees or water, or something akin to it. Shō wasn’t really good at describing or documenting his thoughts and experiments, and relied more on intuition and feeling.
[break][break]
With precise control over the chakra on his skin and the surrounding terrain, Shō quietly emerged from another tree branch in his concealed position, a subtle smile playing on his lips. His sister's instincts and reflexes were proving to be formidable, so he had to think carefully on how to approach her. "But it's getting late..." To avoid getting home late, Shō initiated his final attack. Holding some spores in his palm, he leaped toward An with a clenched fist, curious about his little sister's response.

As Shō emerged from the tree branch, An's senses heightened, detecting the subtle disturbance in the air. She recognized that her brother was testing her, and she braced herself for his final attack. Even though she couldn't pinpoint his exact location, the tension in the air made it clear that Shō was closing in.
[break][break]
Remaining on the defensive, An adopted a guarded stance, her eyes scanning the surroundings for any sign of movement. The quietness of the battlefield added to the challenge, and she relied on her instincts to anticipate Shō's strike. Her fatigue from the prolonged duel lingered, but she couldn't afford to let her guard down.
[break][break]
As Shō leaped toward her with clenched fists and a handful of spores, An focused on evasion rather than counterattack. She sidestepped his initial assault, narrowly avoiding the spores in his palm. The air crackled with the intensity of their movements as An continued to navigate the unpredictable nature of her brother's attacks. Though tired, she maintained her vigilance, determined to hold her ground against Shō's relentless assault.
[break][break]
Nevertheless, the intense duel reached its conclusion, and the toll of the prolonged battle began to weigh on An. Fatigue settled in, slowing her movements and dulling her reflexes. Despite her determination, Shō's superior skill and experience became more evident in the final moments.
[break][break]
An, attempting to keep up with the relentless pace, found herself unable to match the precision of Shō's strikes. The fatigue in her limbs hindered her agility, and a miscalculated move left her momentarily vulnerable. Shō seized the opportunity, landing a well-timed strike that brought the duel to an end.
[break][break]
Breathing heavily, An conceded defeat, her shoulders slumping in exhaustion. She wore a mix of frustration and acceptance on her face, acknowledging both her limitations and the undeniable gap in skill between her and Shō, "I lost."

Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.

An possesses significantly larger and more formidable chakra reserves compared to her peers. This advantage enables her to execute various jutsu without rapidly depleting her chakra, granting her a distinct advantage in combat situations and the capacity to maintain prolonged, intensive chakra utilization. Consequently, she can employ advanced techniques for extended durations surpassing the capabilities of most individuals within her rank.

The spar had finally reached its conclusion, and Shō, appreciating An's tenacity, approached her with a reassuring smile. He slowly unclenched his fist, revealing a jelly-like fungus. Of course, there was no way he could bring himself to punch his only sister. Carefully, water filled the fungus, causing it to expand gradually, resembling a blooming flower. The translucent surface sparkled under the light, creating a beautiful display.

Even though it was a simple low-ranked technique, executing it while in motion was a challenging feat. It demanded a high level of chakra control to infuse the minuscule spores with the right amount of energy. Conceptually it was similar to the difficulty of running on water instead of merely standing on it. Fortunately, Shō had honed this skill through rigorous training, and capable to showcase it to his sister without failing

[break][break]
"Beautiful, isn't it?" he remarked, unveiling the result of his recent experimentation. In addition to honing his chakra control, he also wanted to surprise his sister. The ephemeral beauty of the blooming flower was the fruits of his hard labour, and he took pleasure in having his sister be the first witness to this achievement.
[break][break]
As the flower gracefully shattered, Shō placed a hand on An's shoulder, expressing genuine pride, "You did well, An. Every battle is a chance to learn and improve. Don’t worry too much about the result…" An absorbed her brother's words, a mixture of exhaustion and gratitude reflecting on her face. With a supportive smile, Shō suggested, "Let's head back."

An, catching her breath after the intense spar, watched in awe as Shō unveiled the jelly-like fungus that transformed into a blooming flower. The delicate display of chakra control and artistic finesse left her impressed. Despite the fatigue, her eyes lit up with appreciation for her brother's skill.
[break][break]
"Wow, Shō-niisan, that's amazing," she exclaimed, a genuine smile breaking through the exhaustion on her face. The beauty of the blooming flower resonated with her, and the fact that Shō had mastered such a challenging technique while in motion added an extra layer of admiration.
[break][break]
As the flower gracefully shattered, Shō's hand on her shoulder felt like a comforting gesture. His words of encouragement resonated with An, reinforcing the value of the learning experience, regardless of the outcome. She nodded in agreement, grateful for the guidance.
[break][break]
"Thanks, Shō-niisan," An replied, appreciating the mix of pride and support in his expression. "I'll keep working on it. And you're right, every battle teaches me something new." With a shared understanding, they began to make their way back, the bond between siblings strengthened by the challenges faced and the lessons learned in the midst of their duel. As they walked side by side, An carried the lessons and experiences from the spar, determined to continue growing as a shinobi under her brother's guidance.

真菌操作| Shinkin Sōsa [lit.Fungal Manipulation]
[break][break]
An can grow, shape, and manipulate all forms of fungi, including but not limited to yeasts and mold, along with poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms, thanks to the Gurē clan's KKG. An has the ability to grow fungi on just about any surface. Because An’s genetic makeup is more similar to that of fungi than that of humans, she can use techniques based on Fungi anatomy, such as secretions or enzymes from various Fungi. She can easily generate or grow any part of a Fungi's anatomy from her own body by using chakra to further alter her own cells. Finally, because these techniques are made from her own cells or bodily fluids, such as converting her saliva into a specific Fungi secretion, An is immune to their effects.

As a member of the Gurē clan, An has gained the potential to combine her body with flora and the ground itself because of the similarities in her genetic makeup to fungi. She is able to link her chakra to the underground network of organic matter, which includes plant roots, water veins, and decomposing materials. For example, An can hide in things like trees, shrubs and roots, soil, and so on. Once fused, not only is her presence completely hidden and only felt by those with chakra recognition, but it also allows her to travel within the subterranean web of organic matter up to 1 km before needing to emerge.
