As much as Arashi was enjoying this breathing moment, she figured that it was limited to what she knew she needed to do for herself. After all, time was a luxury she had little of anymore. If anything, she was stalling to just enjoy the little things.
Releasing a breath as she bowed in thanks to the owner, she'd soon make her way down the street, drink in hand as she made her way toward the training grounds. Keeping her face low as she sipped upon the beverage, she'd soon find the area in which she'd set herself down before continuing her consumption. The objective of the day was not just taking her own time away, but using it to better herself. So far, that task had been within using Raiton.
So far, she had managed to master the art of creating static, though she couldn't rely on one of her dogs being there to give her a boost. She would have to be able to generate it herself. Not only that, but she'd have to be able to discharge it and leave it upon objects if she wanted to be effective in combat.
Though where to start....With her legs crossed beneath her, the covered cup still close to her chest, she'd soon draw her lips away from the straw, prompting a sigh to escape her.
"Maybe I should start with what I did last time...the sensation...it was...tingling and kinda just...sudden..."
Tilting her head to the side, the young woman would then begin to prepare herself, allowing her mind to go blank as she searched through her thoughts and memories. It seemed like the best place to start, after all, she had to soon enough be able to draw out this chakra nature on a whim sooner or later. Yet for now, focusing on it seemed to work, allowing for that sensation to occur yet again, the sparks crossing the length of her arm before then cracking at the surface of her hardened sand armor.
-S.A Used-
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.
Hunter's Instinct
With her training from her mother, along with the lessons she learned from her time with the Saeko's Clan, Arashi adapted her tracking ability to a level similar to that of a sensory nin. As such, allowing her much more precision in her ability to find and keep on the heels of individual targets or groups through use of her enhanced sense of smell and ability to identify individuals and objects at long range.
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.
-Jutsu Used-
NAME: Sunano Senshingu[ Sand Sensing]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Jiton
DESCRIPTION:
By dispersing chakra enhanced sand into a specific area, the user is able to discern the presence of bodies that come into direct contact with it. This sensing sand can be spread across a wide terrain of 100 feet, or even float in the air allowing aerial foes to be detected for an extended range of 150 feet due to it's lack of being stationary. Once the sand comes in contact with a person, it will wrap itself around them, rendering even invisible targets, visible.
