[Seinaru Enjo • Seiryu • Bloodline • Bukijutsu] ❝If there is no mud, there would be no lotus. ❞
Hanabi shook her head, "That may be so but it is not in my place to make any difference at the moment, nor do I wish to." Hanabi was here as a soldier, a samurai of Zaishin. She was content to not have her voice be loud or heard, which was why it was still awkward that she was the one that ignited the flame without her family's help because Lord Hogaosha had requested it. Child. That word sent goosebumps to her arm. "Who are you? Are you here to attack us further?" Hanabi was defensive and protective. The student that seemingly trained under the female, she wasn't quite sure if she could trust the student either. The ebony woman introduced herself and that she would be handling the student's graduation. Does she really have the power to do that? How come she had never heard of this woman then? Was she playing tricks on their minds?
Hanabi grimaced at the woman saying that she would bar the female from being a samurai forever. "You have no right. No one is ever barred. If she happens to fail this test, which I doubt, she has nowhere to go but up. You spoke of beautiful things. That's the beauty of humans. They grow from the depths of dark and dirty water like a swamp and reached to the top to blossom into a beautiful lotus."

“If you don’t know who I am, then do not presume to know what I do or do not have the right to do, child.” Suzuran responded to Hanabi, all the while never taking her eyes off of Senshoku. “We live in dangerous times, where our home was invaded so easily. We need soldiers who are able, without shirking their training. Not ones who rush through their exercises and end up sloppier for it.” The monk tilted her head to look at the Seiryu out of the corner of her eye. Her stare had hardened, a far cry from her previous lax persona. The depths of her eyes exposed the heart of someone who had been through her own trials, and had not only seen the hardships of the world, but played her own part in it as well. “If you are to coddle the young warrior now, she will only be able to thank you with her corpse, with her blood on your hands. If she does not feel ready, then she is more than welcome to try again next year. You are only given one life, it’s best to make sure you are ready to live it. This test is for her to prove that she is ready. If she fails, then she wasted her time. It is that easy.”
Suzuran turned her attention back to the girl just in time for her to hold up a note. The woman took a second to read it and a mild surprise formed on her face. “I was not expecting that. You are a very kind hearted child. While I think that will get you far in most cases, it won’t move you an inch along the path you’ve chosen. I am sorry, child, but you must take this petal from me.”
To say that our little oddball of a wanna be samurai was awkward would be a very drastic understatement. As she readied herself to be torn apart by her teacher the other woman would give her two cents on this situation. But the thing about the Samurai was this... she a point about people growing from the depths of swamps to reach something better. That's why if she couldn't do this... she would be stuck in that swamp forever. She had to get through this no matter what. To improve the life of her little sister so that way she could get away from all of this. When she saw surprise on her sensei's face she worried a little until she received some form of what she took as kindness from the Monk. Nodding to the woman she would take in a slow breath through her nose and let it out. It wasn't until she released the breath that a bolt of lightning would hit a roof in the distance. Oh no... She would think to herself as a male figure would be standing with his arm slung in his kimono. His eyes filled with a layer of disappointment while staring at none other then Senshoku. If I don't do good on this... he'll take it out on us later... She thought while looking back to the Monk. She didn't want to do it this way but she had no choice as fear gripped her soul.
' I can't risk anything like attempting to actually harm this Monk nor could I use most of my miasma for it rots the earth supposedly. Concern and confliction hit her hard as she had to stop her without harming the petal. 'Above all else the petal's safety and security was paramount. The element of surprise was already ruined and now father is watching.. I can't wait' She thought as even more fear gripped her soul. With a loud cough in the distance she knew what that meant. He was growing impatient at this time and would do something himself if she did not. She couldn't give him the opportunity as she formulated a plan to at least try to go about this. Her heart racing as she focused upon her chakra and tried to feel it out. To formulate techniques and go with the flow of it to let it sing and dance within her. It would be at this moment that her heart would truly soar until she could of sworn a hand was placed upon her shoulder. Looking back no one would be there and this would leave her more confused than anything.
Turning back to the Monk she would see her father in the distance looking more annoyed than anything else. Her fear was heightened and she was more tense with him being here. This did factor into her decision making for sure as she couldn't truly learn with him being here. As she was going to act how she believed he would want her to act. Otherwise she was going to catch hell from him later for sure. Her gaze fell upon the Monk as she made movement for a hand sign while making eye contact. Completely drawing in the attention of the Monk and making it appear that she was using some sort of extravagant jutsu. Drawing in the Monk's eyes upon her more and more until she would hopefully be lured into the jutsu with her bullshit. 'Here goes nothing... With this the Monk's vision would be reduced to almost tunnel vision from hiding a Genjutsu within another one. Completely blacking out the Monk's peripheral vision which would cause Senshoku to wonder if she would even notice before the next Genjutsu.
At the long string of hand signs she would slam her hands together with open palms hard. Creating a loud clap through the area that would make the Monk fall under another Genjutsu should it work. Making her feel like the area was dimly lit and several creatures were around her. Hollering and howling creating distractions for the young apprentice to do what she needed to do at this event. Her heart was hammering against her chest because she truly didn't know how Genjutsu worked as this country hated her kind. But it was what she was born with and this was still her country. So she would do the best that she could and make her little sister proud of her. With that last moment she would begin to focus more chakra into her body and try and prep something she'd read about once. Unsure of whether or not it would truly work against this Goddess Monk before her.

Monk of the Iron Desert Rank:Monk 磁気 | Classes:Bukijutsu | Scholar 力 | Body Rank:D 勇 | Elements:
Suzuran tilted her head to look at the source of the lightning crack. Irritation played on her face as the woman stared up at the man on the roof. ‘Well he certainly knows how to make an entrance.’ She thought with a click of her tongue. The appearance of the stranger was the start of Senshoku being put on edge. Suzuran, after turning her attention to the student, felt like something was off about her now. The girl, while normally timid on her own, seemed downright scared now. Did the monk raise the stakes too high for her? Or was it with the sudden appearance of that man? Suzuran wasn’t exactly able to pin it down.
Once Senshoku went on the offensive, Suzu got her answer. The monk looked around her as a mild surprise formed on her face. Genjutsu wasn’t something used in this country, so it had been some years now since she’d seen it last. It put a smile on her face as the woman hunkered down, preparing for Senshoku to come from the shadows. “Most samurai fight with their blades, in a rather straightforward manner. That you’ve dedicated yourself to such a crafty way of fighting speaks volumes to work work ethic.” Suzuran’s vision began to blacken around the edges as she felt the Genjutsu take a hold of her. The sounds of the garden were amplified almost to the point that she couldn’t hear anything else. “But you’ll need more than illusions if you are to succeed, child.” Suzuran didn’t move or release herself, allowing the Genjutsu to play upon her senses. Instead the woman would wait to see what Senshoku would do.
She would listen to the words of the woman before her. She truly would take it all in and interpret it how her own mind would. For a split second it seemed like someone in this village wasn't disappointed with her for being more adept in Genjutsu and frail forcing her to rely on such things. It made her feel a certain type of way that she hadn't been able to get out in so long. Then within a split second her paranoia would get to her and make her think that this Monk was perhaps looking down on her because she wasn't being so upfront with her way of dealing with this.
From the corner of her eye she could see her father moving. Her eyes widened slightly while looking over to him fearing what he was doing. Whether he was coming to do something or not sent her heart racing even more. Going to the point where her body was naturally shaking because of him. With her eyes upon him the man would word something to her from the distance. It make her heart sank as she saw the word "Pathetic." This alone made her heart sink even more with everything going on. She had the possibility of getting the petal unharmed from this woman sure but with her father here... he always wanted a boy... and a warrior for a child. He got neither of them as she was extremely limited on her capacity to learn like others could. She knew that she was never going to be as accepted as the others were and to her... that was fine so long as she could take care of her little sister.
She would have to keep going and lay on more genjutsu onto this woman. Otherwise she was going to be even more of a problem down the road and that much she knew was a certainty not an estimate. Focusing more on her chakra she was at a complete disadvantage now and only had one hope of succeeding. Even then she knew the reality that she wouldn't pass this more than likely. She would try and hold her head up as she answered to her father directly after this more than likely. Knowing he was watching was hindering her performance to an astonishing degree. He didn't want to train her because she wasn't a true Samurai and he wouldnl't help her either. She already had a difficult start and it was really showing should the Monk be paying attention to the signs. With the snap of her fingers she would try something new. She was going to try and keep adding onto the Genjutsu. To increase the realism behind it to get the Monk to react in any way that she really could to help her. With the audible provided by her fingers snapping the sound of rapid footsteps approaching the Monk would consume her ears. Hopefully getting any time of reaction as the pretender would attempt her next idea.
Then at the same time she would look back into the Monk's eyes as she wasn't making any effort to avoid the Genjutsu. She was going to keep adding more and more on to get the desired effect that she needed. The jutsu itself was one that would aid the deceptive peripheral vision and give her more of an edge. The Monk would feel herself begin to have vast depth perception issues and since she wasn't kai'ing out from the other ones this was going to stack nicely on top of everything else. Still her heart racing noticing her father in the distance as she used legitimate hand signs to summon a clone right next to her. At her first moment of attempting to use it the jutsu failed and she heard her father scoff in the distance which discouraged her even more at this time. After another attempt she managed to focus her chakra correctly under all the stress before her summoning a wind clone in front of her. The wind clone jumped up and down a few times to get the blood flowing and showing off more of a taijutsu vibe rather than straight genjutsu like before.
At this last moment the pretender would begin to work on a decent genjutsu that would hopefully tie everything in together with a nice little bow. With a hand sign being formed and making sure the Monk was paying attention to her movements the skies would darken to the Monk. Heat would radiate within the area as a meteorite sized fireball would descend from the skies. Quickly and efficiently dashing towards the Monk as the woman would use one final Genjutsu to put her plan in motion. With one final hand sign her body would disappear from sight from the Monk. Unknown where the real one went by any means as the wind clone rushed forward and threw a round house kick to the Monk's head in an effort to tag her.
● Depth Distortion [ Okuyuki Katawa ] {Enchantment} ▰Rank: E ▰Primary Sense: Sight ▰Additional Senses: ▰Base Duration: 2 Post ▰Upkeep: 5 Chakra ▰Trigger: Eye Contact ▰Source: Vision ▰Status Effect: Mental Stress ▰Description: The target's sense of depth perception becomes affected in such a way they are unable to judge the distance between themselves and any other physical object.

The woman let out a low whistle, very obviously impressed by Senshoku’s Genjutsu prowess. Even during her time in the world of shinobi, she didn’t see too many try to utilize illusions quite like this young samurai. However, once the girl layered on the last Genjutsu and began to go on the attack, the monk moved to action as well. Forming a handsign and forcing her chakra into her brain, Suzuran was easily able to dispel the Genjutsu affecting her. “Kai!” [Kai C Rank] Suzuran’s sight and hearing returned to normal and she was able to see Senshoku finally going on the offensive.
“There we go, that’s what we like to see.” Suzuran spoke encouragingly to the samurai as the clone came rushing her. The Monk flicked the wrist of the hand opposite that the clone came to strike, pulling a sealed scroll into her hand. Suzuran crossed her arm in front of her, using the butt of the scroll to block the kick at the shin. [Scroll Block D Rank Complex] Upon contact, the Suzuran let loose a stream of chakra through the scroll, firing off a quick burst of wind that would knock the wind clone back by feet away from her. Suzuran continued to watch Senshoku with her catlike eyes expectantly.
Kai C Rank (Reduced from B Rank with Infinite Perception Disicpline)
Second Action:
▰ Scroll Block | Rank D | Complex [Mystic Hero Korabo with Wind Explosion] A basic technique, the user grabs their scroll by wrapping their hands around each end of it. By carefully expending chakra through the scroll, they allow themselves to block an attack with the scroll itself without risking it breaking.
▰ Wind Explosion [ Kaze ] | Rank D The user gathers fuuton element chakra into a swirling ball that is invisible to any who cannot sense chakra. At any time after it’s creation, the ninjutsu may be thrown, and while it may deal no damage to opponents, the force of its explosions is easily enough to knock back a target fifty feet.
'Oh s**t.' She would think to herself as every instinct in her body told her to take a step back. But she couldn't otherwise she knew what would be the result of this matter. She had to continue on no matter what! She couldn't back down otherwise she would always be a slave to the situation she was in now. With that last thought in her mind her muzzle weighed ever so heavy as it was the first time in a long time she truly thought about it. So instead of backing away she chose to do the opposite. Taking a step forward... then another... and then another.... until she ran in a full sprint towards this Goddess Monk standing before her. Her mind rapidly thinking of the situation and the fact that she was outclassed in every possible way before her. Her mission to get the petal unharmed which limited her to just her Genjutsu and her Ninjutsu. Even then she was so outmatch that nothing would matter as she had to play the objective.
Then it became transparently clear to her what she was going to have to do in this situation. Making a hand sign as the scroll was fired off at the clone she would make a hand sign and the clone and her would swap places. She would brace herself as best as possible as the burst of wind hit her like a sack of potatoes. Her arms crossed in front of her body taking most of the brunt and showing severe bruising along them as she gritted her teeth under her muzzle while the clone still tore off after the woman after having swapped places with the real Senshoku.
Showing a brutal prowess with Fuuton Senshoku showed something that even her father wasn't tracking in this situation. While the clone dashed forward and performed a rather horrible round house kick the real one would be performing two different Fuuton techniques with both of her hands. Her left hand would finish the hand signs first causing a burst of wind to quickly be unleashed under the Monk. While the other finished a second after and with the thought of something very specific in mind she hoped it would all be enough to blast the petal up and with her second technique activated a burst of wind would come from the Monk towards the pretender. The real Senshoku would reach out to the wind and close her eyes while wrapping her hair into the burst of wind scared of whether or not the petal was truly within her hand. As well as if it was truly unharmed as the mission parameters had wanted.
● Substitution Technique [ Kawarimi no Jutsu ] | Rank E When in danger the Shinobi will quickly substitute themselves with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the Shinobi to quickly flee and hide while the object takes the brunt of their opponents attack. The substitution technique can only be performed four [4] times per battle and you must be near an object at least roughly the same size as your character's torso, capping out at your character's full-length size. Other roleplayers' characters (unless willing) cannot be used as a substitute. Spawning random, faceless characters to use as substitutes is not permitted. All clones, with the exception of the standard clone, may be used in substitution.
● Wind Levitation [ Kaze Fuuchuufuyuu ] | Rank E Utilizing fuuton chakra nature, the user is able to direct wind beneath an object in order to force it up off the ground and move/throw it in any direction. The effectiveness of this jutsu is dependent upon the weight of the object it is being used on. The weight limit for this technique is twenty pounds, and anything ten pounds or heavier takes a full post to lift and throw.
● Retrieving Wind Technique [ Toridashi Kaze no Jutsu ] | Rank E This technique utilizes wind to pull objects toward the user. After creating a small gust of fuuton chakra, the user manipulates it to pull nearby small objects towards them to either grab and use themselves or to combo into their own jutsu. This technique has a weight limit of five pounds.

‘A substitution?’ Suzuran’s eyes went slightly wide as the clone and the real samurai swapped places. ‘Just to preserve the clone too.. What’s she planning?’ The monk watched Senshoku eagerly, with anticipation about what the girl would do next. Suzuran hopped in place as she loosened herself up for whatever was to come. She was beginning to get excited with this spar, seeing what the young child was capable of so early on. “Come, child! Give me everything you got!” The monk grinned, falling into a stance just as the young girl and her clone went on the move.
The clone came first, going for a kick once again. Took a step forward, positioning herself so her shoulder was to the clone’s body while her free hand stopped the kick at the ankle. The monk pulled on the leg, slamming her shoulder into the clone’s chest before throwing it over her shoulder. Suzuran readied herself just as Senshoku activated her jutsu. The woman jumped back or to the side, avoiding the bursts of wind that would hit the ground and kick up a cloud of petals. One more came at her so Suzuran flipped over it, the blast just barely missing her arced form. But this caused her grip on the petal to loosen just as the young girl’s wind current grabbed hold of it. “Clever girl.” She said to herself with a calm smile, releasing the petal from her hand. The monk landed and looked at the muzzle-less girl with a proud grin on her face. “Congratulations, child, you pass!” Suzuran proclaimed. “You fight like an excellent shinobi.” She added just as the petal slid into Senshoku’s hand. “Er, well, samurai” She corrected with a nervous chuckle.
Hearing the words congratulations lifted her heart to excitement as for once in her life she was happy for something other than her little sister. Something just for herself that when she looked down to open her palm the petal was untouched within her hand. Her eyes were full of joy even with her muzzle on as she looked down in awe at the petal. Looking back up to the Monk the joy was still within her eyes even as she winced in pain from her bruised forearms. Everything was going well for her until the crashing of lighting could be heard behind her. Her eyes widened in true horror within a split second as she remained perfectly still knowing her father was standing right behind her.
"No matter how hard you train. You will never be a Samurai, pretender." He would say to her as he turned her around and grabbed one of her forearms. Squeezing down on it her body would tremble with pain to how strong he was and showing just how frail she was in turn. "Why did I get stuck with you?" He questioned her rhetorically. Lifting her by her arm he would hold the frail woman in the air squeezing even harder.

Water swirled around the two samurai, extinguishing the embers created by the strike of lightning. “Excuse me, sir.” Suzuran appeared once the water dispersed enough, standing in between the man and his daughter. Her smile still played upon her lips, but a shadow formed over her face. It framed her words with a sinister aura. “I must ask you to not harm the flowers.” Suzuran went to gently place her hand over the one holding Senshoku, calmly and not so subtly telling him to let her go. “They aren’t yet done growing.” It was apparent to Suzuran, now, why the young samurai was so nervous all of the time. “I assure you Senshoku has the abilities to be a fine warrior. And starting today she begins the long path of a samurai of Zaishin.” Suzuran tightened her own grip on the man’s hand, her smile and pleasant expression unflinching. “You should be proud of her.” To emphasize her point, a wave of chakra would be expelled from her hand and into the man’s, which would make his muscles contract painfully.
▰ Rupture Touch: Contraction | Rank C | Complex This technique requires direct contact with a person's skin or contact with a person through a thin layer of clothing. The user will lightly tap an opponent, and upon connecting them releases a wave of chakra into the contacted area, the wave of chakra cause the muscles in the contacted area to painfully contract. This technique ignores an enemy's endurance stat when successfully executed. (Unblocked, Not Dodged)
Hard eyes would meet with the Monk from the titan of a man before her. At first his body had no intention on letting his daughter go until he seemed to grow bored of it. "Fine, you take her." His eyes moved to his daughter as he dropped her and took a step back. "You are not welcome to my house anymore. Perhaps in a few years your sister can be half the warrior I am." He said firmly while bolting away with another boom of thunder in the area.
As Senshoku would hit the ground she would take a deep breath and let it out slowly as she looked at the ground. Having no idea what to do now she would begin to dust herself off as she stood up. Her bruises showing on her arms with a newly developed one that was almost black on her wrist of her father's hand print. Her eyes looking at the ground as she began to think that she would need to make some money for a room or something to stay in. As well as gain access to weapons and such. With her hands snaking into her pockets of her jacket she would look towards the village thinking about her next move as the hope she had previously within them was now gone.

“You shouldn’t wish for someone to waste their potential like that.” Suzuran commented on the man’s statement about his other daughter. “Most children are already twice the warrior you are.” The monk shook her head as the man just disappeared again. Hopefully for good this time, as she was tired of him harming the flowers. With the wind jutsus being thrown around, at least the plants had the ability to put themselves back into the ground. But him going around and lighting them on fire whenever he moved was certainly a waste. Suzuran, who had gone over to examine such a bed of flowers, rose to her feet at the same time Senshoku did.
The girl looked lost, now. It wasn’t hard to blame her, either. With what Suzuran just witnessed, it was more than apparent just where the girl’s confidence issues came from. Instead of pondering it any further, the monk placed a gentle hand on the girl’s shoulder to get her attention. Once done, the woman would smile at the young samurai once again. “Come on, ignore him. You deserve to celebrate your achievements today. Let’s go grab some food, on me.” Suzuran started to walk before stopping and turning back to Senshoku. “You do eat, right? Y’know, with the-” She cut herself short, instead motioning with her hand in front of her mouth to indicate the girl’s muzzle.
The young looking man walked along the streets of Zaishin. Looking around, much had changed...but much was also merely the same. A man who had been here many years ago could easily still recognize the streets, landmarks, and many other things. A sigh escaped his mouth, he had gotten back in due to a variety of reasons. He was no longer an old man, for some reason his body shifted backwards in time so to speak. That being said, he was sure there'd be people that recognized him but would think twice knowing how old he was. Anyone that did recognize him likely wouldn't mention it regardless.
The man made his way towards a familiar area. Along a long flight of stairs up to the temple, then past the temple itself as well. A bit of reconstruction efforts for some reason, didn't concern the man, as far as he was concerned whatever happened to this place was probably deserved. That being said he was also caught off guard as he was passed by a form he could barely even see with a thunderous boom coming from ahead of him. His hand grasped one of the blades strapped to his side, he became alert and ready to fight. However no one showed up, nothing was going on...perhaps it was just someone leaving in a dramatic fashion? Regardless his stance was no longer tense, his five blades at his side resting once more as he sighed. "Really don't like this place..." He said with a frown continuing to the garden where the noise and figure had come from. Looking at the small gathering of three within the garden behind the temple. The look on his face almost as if he were questioning what just happened here considering there were still people here, yet there was a loud sound coming from this exact area and a barely able to be seen figure leaving. However he didn't say even a word as he stood there.

The woman would look to the Monk and nod to her on the food. Well she was but only in a very specific manner with the thing on her face. Her father put it upon her a few years back when she displayed her prowess in Genjutsu. She began to think of where she was going to be taken to eat before she was going to start working her a** off just to get a hole in the wall to be able to sleep. Her eyes shifting to various areas as it was clear her mind was on a million things while waiting on the Monk to lead her to wherever they were going to go for food. Her arms still heavily bruised from both the Monk and her father. While thinking about everything she would make a clone with the understanding that she would have to make money somehow. With the clone quickly running alone the real Senshoku would look back to the Monk curious of where they'd go. {Edit}
▱▰▱Akaran led the entire group into the most beautiful place in Zaishin, the eternal gardens. The cherry blossoms were forever in bloom here because of the warmth generated by the eternal flame that was nearby. Despite the flame being extinguished and damaging the gardens because of Zaishin's cold temperatures, the sages were able to restore the area with natural energy. Akaran walked into the center of the gardens where the newest of Zaishin's three generals stood by themselves. "Hello General Chiru." The shogun bowed to the general and gave a simple greeting. He was asked to meet the general here because it was the general's own idea but Akaran had a few ideas of his own. "Everyone, this is General Haruki Chiru. They were a hero of Zaishin and saved many lives during the civil war and the invasions." Akaran smiled in his new ally's presence as he waited for everyone to get their bearings.

Once every three posts, the user is able to defend an attack without paying an action for the technique, instead spending it upon an offensive action if the user chooses. Second Class: Bukijutsu ▱▰▱ Mystic Hero → The user has become adept at blending their ninjutsu and bukijutsu. The user is able to cast ninjutsu from their weapon without the use of hand signs by making any flourish or deliberate movement to cast the technique in the direction the weapon is commanded.

E-D - 0 C-B - 1 A-S - 2 S+ - 3 Third Class: Ninjutsu ▱▰▱ Elemental Mastery → The user's ninjutsu gains the ability to overwhelm techniques of the same rank. The overwhelming trait only applies to a single element at D rank, increasing to two at A rank. Overwhelming properties do not apply to techniques above S Rank. In addition, each rank that you gain an overwhelming property the user gains a free Element PA that allows the user to augment their ninjutsu that gained the property with an additional effect for no resource or action payment, allowing the user's ninjutsu to shine. You gain an additional 4 Ninjutsu per body rank that are dedicated to their primary element. Also, the user gains access to Augment Skill Lines for the cost of it's primary technique slot and is not required to pay additional slots for skills in this line. Finally, the user's two chosen overwhelming elements can be combined into [1] advanced nature kekkei genkai that counts as a free implant. This implant does not consume an implant slot but does have the restrictions of the implant system. The implant does not carry the overwhelming factor of its base elements through this discipline. This discipline cannot be taken with the Dual Ancestry discipline from Bloodline Class. ► Primary Elements: Katon | Fuuton ▱▰▱ Dedicated Disciple → If this class is taken as the first and second class, then the user takes 2 disciplines from this class and an additional bukijutsu style.

A disciple who chooses to specialize in a small number of their class's arts. Limiting themselves to three of their class's styles, granting overwhelming in all three styles up to S Rank. Any additional slots that would be awarded for their class's styles are converted into a 2 point increase in any stats of their choosing.
