Alleison grabs her bow and mounts it on her bow mount. She buckles her belt that hold her arrow quiver and grabs an extra two quivers. "Mom, dad, I'm going out into the forest to training." she says heading out the door. "Be careful," he mother says, sighing.

She heads out into the deep forest, humming to her self. Fortunately this was still near the village, because she was rather oblivious to anyone else that may have been around. She reachs a clearing and put the quivers down. She draws her bow and gets into an archery stance, albeit without an arrow. "Time to work on my own technique."

AJ Gray

A medical-ninja was walking by as Alleison was practicing. She smiled and seemed to take an interest in the girl. She seemed to catch on slightly to what she was doing and figured she would examine the girl. As she did, she noticed several things off about the girl. She wanted to learn a technique that required a level of Chakra Control that she did now have. Her body was not suited for it. She smiled as she approached her.

"Hello. My name is Hina. I see your training so i'll be brief. To learn better chakra control, one must be able to control their chakra and stop it at will. Sorta like using a jutsu but far more advance. In a sense, bring your chakra to one area and stop it's flow completely. Be careful as it makes you feel horribly tired when you do manage to control such a large amout. Just try to make all your chakra come to one place. Hold it all there... then let it go!"

The medical nin smiled as she walked off.

Allie waves as the odd medical nin passed her by, "She's strange. Oh well," Allie puts her bow up and stares at a tree. "Alright, it takes focuses chakra to one area so," she channels a large amount of chakra to her feet. She tries to suddenly shift the chakra to her hands, and the chakra backlash violently and hurts her. She drops to her knees in pain. "This is harder than it looks."

She collapse on the ground, holding her sides and staring at the sky. I have a while to learn this, I should just take it slow, she thinks to her self. She lay there about fifteen minutes, then gets back up. She give herself a little cheer, jumping and throwing up her arms at different heights, "I can do this! I can't create my signature style without good chakra control." She stops and looks around, wondering if anyone hear her. Nodding to no one in particular, she forms the sign of the ram and directs chakra into her left hand.

YuweaCurtis

The charka rushes up her entire arm, causing pain while doing so. "Slah," she says in pain letting the chakra circulate normally again. "What am I doing wrong?" I keep burning myself!" she says stomping her foot to relieve some stress. She stands there, pondering the moment. "Oh well I've hurt myself enough for now. I'm going to eat something. I wonder what Hikari is up too?"

She heads home, running through the trees. She soon enters the district she lives in. She drops from the rooftops she's on and heads towards her grandmother's house. "Gran? Are you in here?" she asks, letting herself in and removing her shoes. "I'm am here, in the study," her grandmother replies, quiet though she has to raise her voice." Allie walks into the back and bows. She sits down at the floor table across from her grandmother.

"I need to learn chakra control. Will you please help me tommorow?" she begs, clasping her hand together. "Of course I will, child. But have you even been paying attention when I teach you Falling Star? I've often talked about chakra control while instructing you." she looks up from her book with a brief glare. "To tell the truth, I've more been paying attention to the normal archery skills. I mean, it's no good to launch chakra charged arrows if you not hitting. Besides you haven't told me much about it, you just mentioned I'd need some good control."

"This is true," her grandmother nods, "I apologize, I could have taught you more about it." She gets up, "Let us go to your house, it's dinner time." Her and Allie go to the eat dinner with a large part of the family. This was a tradition that was done at least once a week. They talked about things important to the family, and about thier daily lives.

The next day Allie and her grandmother, Alundra, go out into the forest. "Ok, why are standing on the river?" Allie asking, awaiting the coming training. Alundra looks at her, "Well as you know this is a practice in control. But also, you'll need to be able to stay on the tree while chakra manipulating. Where you are right now, you'd lose grip on the water's surface and fall. Now concentrate."

Allie nods and forms the ram sign, "Where should I concentrate it?" "Just worry about centering yourself, and try to subtle control the flow. Just effect it slightly, this will help you towards total control." Allies closes her eyes and trys to totally cut the flow of chakra to her left arm. She only briefly slows the flow down. "Aw," she mutters quietly. "Concentrate!" Alundra says, kinda feriously. "Sorry gran," she says and continues to meditate.

"Ok child, you know the major chakra passage ways. Now imagine them all connect in a highway. Of course you'll never be able to fully visualize your chakra pathways, but this will help you meditate." her grandmother instructs, "Better yet, imagine them a constellation." Allie does so, also filling in her mental picture with starlike motes of light.

"Picture yourself mentally pushing the chakra around. Bring it into your arms." Alundra continues. Allie pictures herself mentally commanding the chakra to move and her arms start to glow. "Good, good. Stop for a minute and watch me." Allie nod and looks at her grandmother turn around and face into the air. She draws her bow, "Watch as I unleash this 'tear', it'll help you understand the importance of focus and control." She producs a small chakra arrow, then greatly increases the size. She modulates the size, showing how it was under control. She makes it return to normal and then launchs it into the sky."

Allie didn't know how, but somehow she got it. Her grandmother could take without words well. That and the fact that she and Alundra held a special connection, she was her favorite relative besides her parents. She throw her right arm in front of herself, "Trace the constellation," she saids, focusing on her inner constellation. Her hand glows with energy.

"You've gotten it child. Now work on you flow control and you'll be fine. I'm heading home, see you there." Alundra waves, then disappears using Konoha Shunshin. Allie adjusts the amount of chakra in her hand. She works on it for hours on end. Now she isn't burning herself, but her chakra will stop flowing or flare randomly while she does it. She also falls through the water a couple of times. It's nightfall when she finally completes it. "Alright," she almost jumps, but remembers she isn't on the ground, "Come on Hikari-san, let's go home. Her fox jumps into her arms and they go home.

OOC: This starts her Kinobori training.

Allie walks slowly from her house the next morning. She has Hikari on her shoulder and is wiping the sleep out of her eyes. "I need to learn Kinobori soon," she says to the white fox. It nods, totally understanding her even though it's and animal. She walks out into the forest and looks up at a tree.

Hikari hops off her shoulder, and she brings her hands together in the sign of the ram. She channels chakra easily into her feet. "Here goes!" She runs up the tree, but she only gets as far as her actual speed carries her. Then she falls straight on her back.

Disani Xenoharu

It was nice out this evening as Disani had walked through the woods. She had found herself often trying to enjoy nature and practice her visual by simply taking strolls and seeing the world using the chakra in her ears. It did her good to try to practice this Chakra pool seeing that often she would need to expend balancing chakra so she can hear and so she can perform techniques. Often she would hear things as far as maybe a mile when she was at a full potential, and often she would hear things as local as a drop from a few feet away. As the sound of a thud hit the ground, it was similar to the thud that came to mind as she gasped letting her ears identify the presence and picture in her mind that wasn't too far.

"Oh my goodness!" she had said as she had ran from her current location and drew her retractable pole. She stopped and then raised it as she gave the ground a small knock sending out the waves and nodded as she had started to walk. The worst thought was someone was attacked, but she could see. They were still breathing normally and there was no signs of anyone else nearby so it wasn't an assassination. She had walked to the nearby tree the presence fallen from as she had hung over letting her misty eyes gaze towards her.

"Are you alright?" she had asked staring down cursiouly, but with a gentle smile that was reassuring.

YuweaCurtis

"I'm fine, " Allie says getting up, "thanks for asking anyway. I'm just trying to climb this tree with kinobori." she turns to Disani, grinning. "It's sad, I know can walk on water, but not a silly tree." She brushes herself off and picks up the arrows that fell out of her two quivers. She laughs at her stupid mistake. "I should get the ones with lids on them now..... Oh I'm Alleison Nova. Call me Allie." She extends her hand to Disani, but something strike her odd. "Pardon me asking, are you blind?"

Disani Xenoharu

Disani smiled hearing her ask the question as she had let her eyes stare into hers even though her own were almost totally blank. “Yes…I hope that doesn’t bother you.” she had said as she reached her hand out to grasp Allie’s as if she could see like there was nothing to it. “But my vision is just fine. I’m a Gennin and I use my chakra to see with my ears.” she had explained as she smiled blissfully and tilt her head to the right a bit optimistically.

“I know it might be a little confusing.” she had continued to say a little bashful. “But, I can’t see with my eyes so I focus my chakra to my ears to see anything using sound waves and my wooden pole. All the way from your hand, your face, and beyond to such as the inside of your body where your heart pumps.” she had said with a smile, but then winced in a realization as she had swallowed deeply.

“Oh! I’m sorry if I’m a bit rude, but…my name is Disani Xenoharu.” she had said shaking Allie’s hand with a smile. “It’s nice to meet you Allie. I heard the sound of your body hitting the ground from afar and I thought you were under attack, but it seems like you just had taken a fall. You said you were trying to climb that tree using Kinobori, right?” she asked curiously as she gazed up along the large trunk.

YuweaCurtis

"Sorry, I didn't mean offense, " Allie says bowing, figuring she hadn't offender her but making sure. "I think I get what your saying, and it's kinda neat. At least you can see in a sense. Well my specialties are speed and agility. I"m and archer from House Nova, prestigious users of the Falling Star archery martial arts." She removes her quivers. "I'll show you what I can do and maybe you can help me with my kinobori."

She forms the sign of the ram and focuses chakra into her feet. She then runs up the branch, her speed taking her a decent way up. Her left foot grips the bark, but her right foot slips. She does awkwards splits on the tree before falling. She lands, rolling to lessen the damage. She stands up, brushing herself off and smilling. "See... er.... Hear that?"

Disani Xenoharu

Disani had listened as the sound that followed along with her flubbing the jutsu was quite unpleasant. The next thing she knew, the girl was falling back to Earth and she winced from the possible pain from the fall, and then turned to her as she had blinked, and then nodded as she could picture the sound of her student, or so to speak in a sense, asked about the situation. “I see…”

She had reached her hands behind her back as she had twisted her hips side to side thinking. “Well, it seems like your chakra isn’t focused for this. Did you say you know how to water walk?” she had asked before turning away and then looking towards the tree. “Well, I think it’s because water walking is different from Tree Climbing. I have to listen to concentrate my chakra to balance with water walking and tree climbing, so I think if you concentrate your chakra to be balanced and stay on a flat surface such as this tree and not on a constant surface in motion like a body of water, then you can pin down this jutsu in no time.”

Disani had advised with a smile and then shrugged her shoulder nervously. “I’ll even stay and help you get it down. Just keep practicing and I’ll listen to see if your chakra concentration. Your last attempt your chakra became too light, so you had lost footing. Try again, and I think you should add a little more chakra while continuously keeping that flow.” she advised.

YuweaCurtis

OOC: Two more for me after this... And sorry, temporary outage.

IC: Allie nods, looking up at the tree. Come on this should be cake, your chakra control is top now. Well for a genin., She thought to herself. I just need to find the right charka density. She glances back at Disani wondering if they could grow to be good friends. The white fox Hikari runs up and hops on Disani's shoulder, then licks her on the ear.

"Here goes nothing!" Allie says, bringing up more chakra. She doesn't run this time, carefully placing a foot on the tree. She shrugs and takes a few steps back. She then runs at the tree in a quick sprint. She runs up the tree a bit, than sticks. "Um.... This is weird," she comments while trying to move her stuck feet. "Oh well," she stops her chakra and freefalls backwards. Before landing she flips in midair and lands on her knees. "I almost got it."

Disani Xenoharu

Disani had leaned her head giving a sweet smile noticing Allie glancing towards her. Even though she was blind, sound and texture was all it took for her to identify something. Even if it was just someone looking in her direction, but she had the feeling as long as people thought good thoughts and had their eye on someone with good intention, she could feel not only their eyes on them, but a friendly feeling. That’s how she felt about everyone even without her eyes to return that feeling.

She had heard something approach, but in no time short she had already felt the presence roost on her shoulder and playfully licking her ear. She gave a small giggle before turning her attention to Allie who was attempting the jutsu once more. It seemed like she had improved since last try and the recent advise, and as she waited, Disani had watched her run up once more before she had stopped and fallen back to Earth. It wasn’t complete, but it was more graceful than last time, and that was for sure.

“You’re doing it!” The sound of Disani voice said in happy cheer accompanied by the sound of her hands clapping to applaud Allie’s effort. “You just need to try again a few more times while concentrating your chakra along the tree so you won’t get stuck. You should be able to do it a little better then.” she had said brining her hands back to her side and smiling warmly.

YuweaCurtis

OCC: Now to get back into the swing of things, lol.

IC: "Yea thanks. Never thought to spread my chakra ahead of myself." She looked up at the tree. "I almost got this!" She rubs her chin in careful thought of how she was going to pull this off. She momentarily gets distracted by the fact that her new friend is blind. Not that matters as far as treating her like every other person, but it was rather impressive. Allie thinks that maybe she should work on sharpening her on senses, taking advantage of what she has. Besides she needs to have sharpened senses to become and excellent archer.

"Here goes!" she takes a quick run at the tree. As her feet hit the tree, she sends a small amount of chakra through them, in addition to the chakra already on them. This spread of chakra makes it where she doesn't stick. However she isn't attached to the tree enough to stay, so she falls as soon as she loses momentum. She tucks and rolls in midair, and lands safely on the ground.

Disani Xenoharu

“That was even better…” Disani had said listening to the pulsating sounds that were faint along the tree before she had let her attention digress towards Allie. She smiled warmly seeing her progress had become better thought out the little time she had spent watching her. It was as quick as she had mastered it herself, and it was tougher for Disani. Sure her senses helped her, but nonetheless, they were also a hindrance. Seeing Disani’s eye sight came from her ears, and chakra focused into her ears allowed her to see, she was cursed with the burden of balancing numerous jutsu as well as using her ears. She has mastered many jutsu this way, but at the same time, her chakra control was becoming more intense seeing that she had to keep almost a perfect balance to keep her eye sight aligned with her techniques. In time, it all became easier.

“Okay! Ready to try again? This time, I’m sure you’ll master it!” Disani had said with a confident nod of her head.

YuweaCurtis

OOC: sorry it took so long settling other issues. Anyways this is the last one I need to do.

IC: Once again, Allie looks back to the wisdom of her grand mother to help her with the situation. Hmm. technically this is just like water walking, she thinks to herself. I just gotta stabilized the chakra more, and use the advice Disani-chan gave me. "For the win!" Allie circulates chakra into her feet and runs up the tree. She causes short bursts as she walks up the tree, which help her to stick. She stays in a single spot after taking a bunch of steps. "Hmm I did it!" She smiles, and walks down the tree. "Thanks Disani-chan," Allie raises her hand to shake her new found friend. "Friends?"

Disani Xenoharu

Disani had watched the successful jutsu as she reminisced herself on how difficult it was. After seeing it with her own ears, rather than eyes, she had smiled blissfully as she actually felt confident herself after helping someone learn. Who thought she’d actually make a great sensai to anyone seeing how nervous she always was when it came to people. As she had stood there sensing the hand that extended towards her, she was even more weary hearing the offer behind that hand shake. She didn’t have friends that would consider her that seeing she was blind and it was most likely she’d be some ninja lacking as they describe without sight. But at least two people saw something different.

“…of course!” Disani had replied with glee as she had extended her hand to the girl and shook it with a smile on her face. She was happy that she could help. “I’m glad that I could be of service to you!” Disani had said bowing righteously before taking her right hand and placing it on her wooden pole.

YuweaCurtis

Allie grins while shaking Disani's hand, "Thanks! You're a good teacher." She walks over a few feet and picks up her two quivers. She fastens them to her belt. She whistles and Hikari runs up to her, running up on her shoulder. "Kinda said I missed the Chuunin Exams. I should've trained a bit harder. Oh well I'll train the become the strongest I can. I'm either going for archery jutsus, or something to make my pet be able to cast genjutsu. You may not believe it, but she's smart enough to learn. She just lack the hands. Nothing a good Jujin jutsu can't fix.What rank are you?"

Disani Xenoharu

“Oh! That’s interesting!” Disani had said with a smile hearing about the small animal. It was unbelievable about how assistants worked to ninja, and even how amazing ninja varied. She had heard that from her sensai who had taken an interest in her at the most. She had smiled thinking about the fact how some of the most unpredictable figures were the most valuable. Ranging from a girl without vision to an animal that lacked some skills at it’s current level, time could improve on these things, and knowing that was as exciting as planting the seed of a rose to know how it would bloom one day.

“I’m a gennin as well.” Disani said lowering her head a bit ashamed to admit it. “I also missed the Chunnin exams. I couldn’t participate because of my lack of mission accomplishments.” she had admitted as she rocked her body side to side a bit.

YuweaCurtis

"Well I'll see you around Disani-chan. I have to go check in, then I'm going to train somemore." she bows. "I look forward to fighting alongside you someday." Allie makes sure her bow is secured well and runs off towards the town. She heads directly to her own house and walks in, looking around. "Mother, Father. I'm fine, " she removes her shoes and walks in. "Alright Aleison dear, you're fine. Go play if you want too." her mother says as Allie approachs the social area of their house. Allie laughs, "Ha I'm a ninja, I barely have time to play. I'm just checking in." Allie and her mother talk for a few minutes and she leaves once again to try and learn another jutsu.

Disani Xenoharu

Disani had smiled blissfully seeing that she had made a friend. As the girl departed with those words, she had nodded wishing for the same. “As do I…” she simply said as she had took her wooden pole and held it in hand. Sure she was blind, but she didn’t have to tap around like some old person to find things. With two taps of her pole letting the sound waves vibrate through the ground like radar, she had quickly jumped into the air with quickly and started to zip through the trees to report back to the village.
