Battle MusicThe instant that 294 began his assault, Arashi wasn't too far behind as she pushed forward a barrier of sand that began to expand and burst forth as it shifted from a shield to prevent further barrages of projectiles to fly down to transforming themselves into weapons of various designs. Two spears would appear first from projection of dust, each one surging through the air and pushing back to the defending criminal as they punctured through their body from two different angles. As the man went limp, his body slumping down to the ground, the remaining two seemed to have been so focused upon the advancing weapons that they had lost track of their operator. To which, they'd soon find appearing between them as she appeared like a vision of sand.
Seeing their target now upon them, their attacks would follow swiftly, impacting against a field that would not let them pass as Arashi created a seal with her hands, allowing one to draw downward as a thin line of chakra would form between the two. The beam would seem to mix and release a burst of energy as she allowed the field to fall and twist herself to the side as she extended the near invisible rope outward, twisting it around the man's arm before slamming the back of her elbow against his chest and sending him flying into the wall.
From there, the last attacker would move in once more, finding his blade hampered by the fuuton crafted rope as she used it to defend against his strikes. Stepping back, Arashi would then take the rope into her palm, a smirk crossing her lips as she slammed it down into the ground along with allowing a curse mark to cross the surface of her hand. As a barely visible circle appeared around her, she'd watch as the man moved in, rupturing the seal as blades of wind began to rip him apart. As his remains settled to the ground, she'd return to her previous attacker and began to march toward him.
"Those people ya killed didn't get much of a chance to fight back...."
His form scampering across the surface of the platform, he'd find himself with little room to escape, his back hitting a wall as he would then extend his weapon outward to strike, only to hit air as the female moved in, her hand taking on the shape of a blade as the weapon impaled itself into his chest. As the light began to drain from his face, Arashi would pull the sand blade back as she drew herself from her looming position over him, prompting the sand made dagger to retract upon the surface of her flesh as she looked over to see the results of the Shippai's own efforts.
"Six people...they didn't put up much of a fight considering...."
As her eyes shifted to the shadows, she'd see something loom outward from the darkness, seeming to be a flash of fire as it slammed against the woman's sand barrier. The scorching heat began to make her defense brittle and harden, but it remounted as she jumped back and allowed her frame to move to the side.
"Thats cause it ain't just them....Those were just the messengers...and no Suna dogs are gonna take out us..."
Two individuals would arrive from the darkness, a man and a woman dressed in black and their figures covered in robes and cloaks.
"Chen...we weren't expectin this...I thought you said these tunnels were protected..."
"Looks like I was wrong....if two rats could find us...this makes it a challenge....sides...once their dead we can just keep usin them for the other locations in Kaze no kuni..."
-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.
Enhanced Smell
Somehow, Arashi has gained an enhanced sense of smell. It appears that she’s been hanging around dogs for too long and has obtained a sense of smell that rivals that of a blood hound. In reality, she has simply discovered that by channeling some chakra to her nose she can enhance the cells within it and gain a super sense of smell that may act as a sensor and tracking technique. She can smell out strangers, steel and various other things. Arashi may retract her chakra from her nose as well to make her sense of smell return to normal. Due in most regards to her heavily enhanced sense of smell, With her continued usage of this ability, she has now become capable of near passively monitoring the exact range of a target and their positioning within 250 meters. (Able to turn "off and on" this enhanced sense at the 'prick' of chakra to her nose)
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.
All-Covering Forests and Ten Thousand Things Assimilate Technique
A technique that Arashi learned from Shukaku, it was grafted upon the creativity and consumption of a variety of different environments and adapting them to the needs of the user. When Arashi first learned of this, she used them simply as a means of allowing her to move with the usage of her sand, traveling among the currents of the wind from one place to the next. Though over time, she has adapted to them and made that very nature part of herself and learned to manipulate it to more than just the desert itself.
With this growing understanding, comes her ability to use it to better suit her needs. Such as assimilation of Steel into her skin, or ash to the very minerals that build up the sand she controls to her will. This knowledge grants her the means to take these parts of her environment and impart them into her very being. While this is a short lived experience, they aid her in her ability to control the situation and to protect herself from threats that her Ultimate Sand Defense can not predict and allow for her to better protect herself. (Post Count limit:3)
Fuuinjutsu Savant
Within her youth, Arashi had always been a natural when it came to the art of sealing techniques. Trained under one of it's great masters, her skill and understanding of this nearly forgotten artform only grew and has become more seasoned over time. With this knowledge, the shinobi is capable of identifying the nature and abilities of a seal just by looking at it, mapping out their structure, strength, and abilities based on previous experience and her own studies with the craft. This skill also allows for her own seals to become much stronger in their usage, extend their duration people(1 post), able to modify them to suit a specific situation or to quickly implement them in the field.

A technique that requires as much imagination as it does skill, the user is capable of manipulating the density of the sand around them and construct a variety of weapons and defenses. These constructs are made of hardened minerals, capable of taking and dealing considerable damage. The instant creation of these constructs can happen in that of a split second, though the size of these creations slows down their development, along with their regulated weight class, such as the difference between a war-hammer and that of a broad sword. Yet, these can be no bigger than the actual size of their physical design. They can be reshaped though in mid-combat, adjusting to the change in situation.
