"red strings of fate". "I fight to save everyone, and I live thanks to everyone. That's who I am!" THE WORLD After a short moment, they separated. It was a bit awkward, yes, but he enjoyed the hug. Haruka pointed out to the fact that they had yet to touch their food, and that they should attend to that before it got cold, and Ren nodded in agreement, sitting back at his chair and grabbing one of the octopus dumpling. In a way, it worked out well, because although they were no longer hot, they were still warm, which was the perfect temperature to eat them for the Nohime. "They are pretty good." he commented, as he grabbed a second one, and then took a sip of his beverage. As the two of them ate, they would occasionally exchange glances, and that made him feel a bit warm and fuzzy inside. He never had the time to go on an actual date, nor had him ever thought about it seriously before, too busy with his work and training, but this felt good. "Maybe it is a date of sorts..." he thought to himself, wondering if the same thought had crossed Haruka's mind, but there was no way he would ask her that. Then, after they had eaten some of the dumplings, Haruka started the conversation again, which Ren welcomed by paying his full attention to the girl. She was willing to open up to the youth and he was glad about that. "If that's truly okay, then... If you could change one thing in the world, what would that be?" he asked. It was a deep, complicated question, and he knew that. But it was a good way to get a deeper understanding on someone, for their view of the world and its flaws can determine a lot of who they are. "I want you to understand something. If you should lose, not only does your future end, but also the future of the one you are trying to protect. Defeat isn't an option for the sword that protects others. You should keep that thought engraved in your heart." Day of Departure Kagamino no Shi [Himishi Haruka] [307 words]

Himishi Haruka

Haruka made a smirk when he expressed he liked them, she absolutely loved these fried dumplings. It wasn't till she got to these exams that she had a chance to enjoy them and she was pretty sure this country was the only place to get them. Though she'd have to check just to make sure it truly was unavailable back at Iwa. As for her own enjoyment, as long as it tasted good and wasn't corpse cold, it was perfectly fine for her to eat. She tried to not be a picky eater, and yet, she was just pointing it out in a sense given her only favored, sought-after food seemed to just be these.

With deft movement, she assured the Daruma doll was safe for moving as she continued to slowly eat and drink, offering herself up for any questions. The offer was taken when Ren inquired about a rather big question, one that made Haruka's eyes dart back and forth quickly before coming to rest back on him. "There's probably a better way to word this but if I could change one thing, it'd be a simple make the world just follow the Himishi way." The Kunoichi leaned forward and took a soft sigh before resting her head on her hand

"Learn from the past, apply it and change the present to flourish a pleasurable future. I don't want to change a problem for a temporary solution, I want to change the cause for a true solution. That way I can get paid to sit." Haruka smiled coyly before popping another piece in her mouth to consume. "What about you, Ren?"

SA(s) Utilized:
Tomekenzangan (Tōzasō) | All-Seeing Eye of the Present
Haruka achieved both the rare dōjutsu and the even rarer Tōzasō state of the eye. Being a direct evolution of Iwakusō, boons of both can be accessed by the Genin. With crystal clarity, the girl is capable of recalling information and memories down to a surreal level. As if she could live in it, it also grants her capabilities to look through memories and implant her own or even reconstruct the other's memory through the use of clan jutsu. It can also gives her great ability of her own intelligence locked behind the eye. From the Tōzasō aspect, Haruka attains a great level of perception both in tacking and reading any given situation, exponentially increasing strategic or investigating abilities. The strongest boon is the ability to track movement from both powerups granted by the past and present eye. Every minute detail is tracked at great speeds for Haruka.

Unnatural Intelligence
Even before the Tomekenzangan, the girl has always had an almost metahuman intelligence, able to decipher a large number of details in seconds and map out events with marks like a video into the event. The Genin is even capable of quick, logical thought, all while maintaining a long term-memory of the details. Boosted by the Dōjutsu's passive effects, the girl's ability to recall and process new information increases exponentially. Every cognitive ability is boosted allowing the girl to process and retain much information new or old. Haruka easily surpasses genius levels thanks to both the great boons of her blood and her eyes.

Weighted Training: Reflexive Combat:
After a routine set by Rentaro and further enforced by Haruka, the girl has developed a weaker but enhanced physical trait in two areas, the first being her reflexes to aid in the reactive abilities her Tomekenzangan cues. The second is more of a nimble body to evade larger actions with a nimble intricacy similar to that of a freshly minted acrobatic shinobi. As time progresses, she will have more of a boost, albeit half of that of a dedicated boon in either area.

Enhanced Chakra Control
Years of being a shinobi has taught Haruka she has reserves smaller than that of an average shinobi despite numerous tries to force it to grow. In lieu of this, she has opted to learn to mitigate the natural excess waste to an exponentially smaller fraction. As years and shifts further increase as time goes on, Haruka has the control of have chakra equal to her peers in the same point, arguably, to an even greater extent.
