The Lightning, The Water and The Monkey (Ling)

Peaceful the forest was. The quaint little notion that this was one of the most peaceful areas of the village made it worth coming yet with the distinct sound of Lightning crackling in the air it was also now becoming a slight battlefield. The small ninja was darting between trees trying to get ahold of his mastery of both Lightning and Water prospectively, applying both elements into a separate hand until he could fuse them together. He had been working on a new element since his time in Suna and yet...he could never produce the results he had needed. When he combined them they had backfired, probably because his small body was still getting used to its form.

Within his mind he could finally hear the voice of Erebes after a long pause since his return to the village," Still trying to succeed in making a new element and yet you can't even control the elements themselves. By the Gods themselves you are full on retarded boy. Stop trying and instead focus on honing your swordsmanship or other jutsu...Idiot," of course their first interaction was like this, but the kid smiled and shook his head. Closing his eyes he focused on the two natures one by one. He knew lightning all too well...The element flowed through his body and was natural in all of the Ametsuchi, yet water was entirely different. He had to get a basic understanding of water to do anything with it and for that...it was montage time.

It had been such a lovely day. The birds were singing. The clouds were in the sky. Ling's belly was full of waffles, and pancakes. A big ol' breakfast for a growing young lady. Fianlly she decided she'd leave her tree house and walk the world once more. After getting Chuunin she'd kind of been sitting on her butt not doing much. Well she learned a bit about genjutsu. So she wasn't a complete slob, but pretty darn near. She was jumping around the tree and branches of the forest as if she was a ninja who was focused on things that weren't ninjutsu and Genjutsu. You'd think she'd be more fit from the way she danced around the forest.

Ling was a diminutive little creature. She wore a very distinctive outfit which just about everyone in the leaf village would be able to recognize her by. She wore two surprisingly clean Brown Mary Janes, along with a pair of brown ruffle socks. In an amazing bout of Fashion tragedy she also wore yellow stockings along with socks. This girl was a disaster. The yellow stockings ran up her thin legs and connected to a garter belt she kept well hidden under a pair a very baggy brown shorts that looked very much like bloomers. Beyond that her outfit got a lot less complicated. Meaning that she wore a bright yellow hoodie who'd shoo made her head look like a monkey's. With big ears and everything. Out from the hoodie which she generally wore was a wild mane of dark blue hair which stuck out. At all times no matter the situation she wore a broad and goofy grin on her face. Her cheeks were rosy and healthy. She had a cute little upturned nose. And finally her Eyes were a bright piercing blue. Like two stars far off on the horizon. Dazzeling, and hypnotic. 

That's What Kasuga would be able to see when this girl came crashing through the trees, and fell into him like a torpedo. It was a head on head collision. Skull slamming into skull. Now Ling had done this enough times that her skull was practically collision proof, but this guy had so much electrical energy flowing through him that it lit Ling up like a Christmas tree the moment they collided. All of her limbs and hair stuck out stiff as her body glowed and for a brief few seconds you could see Ling's skeleton. "WaahahahwaaahaaaaaawooooohaaaaaWOOOOOhhhhhhhouch!"Finally there was a small burst of energy and Ling was launched away from Kasu and far into the forest. As far as first impressions went. It wasn't bad.

Yeah! Things were going pretty well as the two elements slowly began to bond until something crazy...and odd happened at the same time. When the lightning sparked from his body, something came at him pretty fast and cracked the young/old male in the head which caused him to fall flat on his ass, but not before catching sight of what had hit him. As the celestial heads clashed, his eyes met with the stars until the skull clashing made him dazed and confused. When the young girl had shot off into the atmosphere, his bum touched the ground and his eyes began to look around," Ouchie...What the hell just hit me!," his first response was to call for his dad but wait! His dad was busy with village stuffs so his second resort? Call for mom!!! Raising his voice he was about to let out the classic ," MAH," before stopping and thinking for a moment, he was eighteen years old. Why the hell was he calling for his mom when he just got cracked in the head by some random projectile.

Oh wait! He knew why! Because some random screeching thing just clocked him in the head, but the better question was where did it go? Standing up and dusting himself off a bit, he would summon his signature sword into his hand and head into the direction of where the body had went while do a bit of cheating where he sense the chakra of said person. As he walked through the woods, cutting the occasional limbs from his path he wondered who it was? From the single glimpse that he had gotten it appeared to be a monkey that had hit him and shot off, but did Konoha have any monkeys? As he continued to walk forward with sword in hand, he could feel himself getting closer to the chakra signature until finally he called out," Hey uh...Monkey person you around here? You kind of cracked me in the head and i'd like to know why you were flying through the air at me?," yeap this kid was getting a little too curious.

Ling was leaned up on a tall tree. There were spirals in her eyes, and her mouth was hanging wide open still in shock. To her side there was a red furred monkey  with was waving a cloth in front of her face to keep her nice and cool. By that had been a trip. Ling finally came to when she heard the crunching of twigs not too far off. She snapped to and jumped to her feet. Her hair was now sticking out wildly from her hoodie. The ends of it's blueness were trailing lines of smoke. 

She heard the boy's voice from behind some bushes and decided the follow it. She puffed up her cheeks with air and poped her head out of a bush and looked at him. "Well I guess we're even Mr. Bug Zapper! You sent me flying across the map!" She stuck her tongue out at the guy. She wasn't angry of course, because it was physically impossible for Ling to feel that emotion. She was just playfully making conversation with this newest member of her life.

When the young male had finally caught sight of the female monkey, he couldn't help but look her over. It was odd for him to see someone who had looked so much like a monkey, though he could tell that she was human in nature he could not help but wonder why she had chosen to wear a monkey get up. A bright smile had appeared on his face as he walked forward towards her (and assuming they are of equal height) he would begin to pat her face lightly of course out of friendship as he smiled," I'm sorry monkey lady. I was trying to train on how to combine a certain two elements and kinda went spark spark. My dad does it too, but he's all like vroom and boosh," waving his arms around a bit to emphasize that his dad had gotten big and stuff while using the Lightning Armor he just simply chuckled and looked down at her monkey partner.

Sticking his sword which was near his side into the ground he would kneel down to look at the little monkey," Who is this cool looking guy down here? Can i pick him up or is he shy?," he couldn't help but wonder if this was a summon or did she actually have a monkey companion walking around everywhere with her. In his mind however the depths of Erebes had been laughing at the seventeen year old turned seven," Are ya fucking kidding me? You are really getting into this whole seven year old thing! You have the mental compacity of a fucking teenager and yet you act like this? I don't even know what to think of you...," the vastly powerful demon had definitely been upset at the vessel, but being in a sever year old body meant adjusting and he had been doing just that.

Remembering something important he took his gaze off of the small monkey and moved it to the woman in front of him as he smiled," I'm Kasuga! Nice to meet you monkey lady. I gotta say you are pretty though o.o You're hair is a nice color too," he was being honest at least though he didn't know (rather he did but had been playing it off) that these things could potentially make a woman swoon and blush. Though this was someone he had just met he simply wondered how exactly this meeting would go based on what had been going on so far.

Boy this guy was talking Lings language; sound effects. Now what did it say about Ling that her language was most relateable to a seven year old? Well let's just not worry about that. She just got tired of lame and boring talks with people. Like whatever. Then again this conversation wasn't much either so what did ling know? She watched as the boy kneeled down to Hiru and asked if the monkey was shy.

Shy!

Hiru!

The monkey and Ling exchanged amused looks before the two of them both fell on their backs laughing intensely. Ling thought she was going to bust a rib. in sync the two of them brushed away a tear when they were done laughing and did their secret handshake. Then of course Hiru Jumped on the boys shoulders and got the lay of the land on this new guy. 

"Hiya Kaaaaasuga." Ling chirped as she gurgled his name. "Me myself personally go by the name Lingqi. I'm not so much into the zap zaps as I am the Splish spashes. What were those two elements you were trying to combine, and what were you trying to make. Oh em gee. Don't even tell me I already know. Earth and water, because your a senju. And Don't worry I won't even ask if you can teach me because I know you Senju are so freaking stingy with your wood release that you won't even give it to poor me! That's cool I don't even want your stupid element, because it's stupid. I'm gonna learn every element ever and all you guys will be like 'aww man I really wish that Ling would learn ours because she's so cool.' but it'll be too late by that point!'" She pounded a fist into her open palm. "Oh wait you were totally using lightning. Oh well never mind them. But Just some future advice from a super awesome Chuunin. Never ask a Senju to teach you wood release because they're super selfish about it." She huffed. "I'd teach them water release." Just thinking about it was giving her the vague sensation of being mad, which of course was as close to actually feeling it as she could get. Then a second epiphany hit her. "OMG that means that you have a different neat element! Omg What is it, what is it? Is it cool? I bet it is. I bet it's super cool. Cooler than wood release? Probably not, but still cool. Probably way cooler!" She was dancing around Kasuga as she spoke these words, her movements and dancing every bit as confusing as her speech.

While he didn't understand what he had said to make the duo laugh, in sync which amused him greatly, he did acquire a new monkey companion on his shoulder which made him smile and laugh as he lifted his right index finger to shake hands with the fuzzy buddy. If there was something the new seven year old liked was animals, and cool laid-back ones like this monkey here made all the difference. His attention soon turned to the girl which he would now come to know as Lingqi, or in his mind Ling Ling. A smile grimaced on his face as she said her name, the child like exuberance that had dawned before popped up at a hundred as he spoke," Cool name! Can I call you Ling Ling....or maybe Ling instead?," he inquired quickly before continuing on with his statement," I like the splish splash as well but," he was cut off when she had quickly insinuated that he was a senju.

Whatever the hell that had been he was not one of them and the fact that he had been called one kind of hurt his feelings. As she went on speaking though rather erractically he could piece it all together and waited until she had finished and smiled. Though with him finding out she was a Chuunin it would be rather hard to believe that the child in front of her was actually of Jounin level, though with his small stature anyone would consider him maybe a genin? Though with him attempting to meld two different elements together it made it quite suspicious. With that he decided to be all tough and gruff so he finally spoke up," I dunno what a senju is but I am not one of them and wood release? What do they do...sprout trees from their Heine? No thank you," he paused a moment while shaking his head before continuing," Kasuga knows water though! He knows....ummm Zap Zap, Splish Splash and...what was the other one? Oh yeah! it was fire!!! I know Lightning, water and fire. I was trying to meld lightning and water but then...well we bumped heads," looking up to his head for a moment he followed her albeit slowly, he could still see her through his peripheral vision though the sword beside him? Just poofed as she spoke, mostly because he didn't need it anymore.

Ling watched as Hiru picked bugs out of Kagusa's hair. It seemed that she'd upset the young boy because he was trying to be all manly with her now. Awwwwww! Soooooo cute! Water and lightning eh? What would that end up making? Electrified water? Well she supposed that that sounded cool either way. She only knew the one element, but dang was she good at it. She was like a water master, minus the mastery. But her whole clan was. "Weeeeeeeeeeell Don't let me stop you from having fun! I wanna see this cool new element that's I've never even heard of. Do it! Do it now! Let me see it! What's it do? What's it called? Is it your clan element or did you learn it from an ancient scroll." She took in a large breath that was half gasp, and half in need of air. "Omg that must have been sooooo fun! Did you find it in an old tomb, where there skeletons guarding! Omg why don't I go on more tomb raids? I'm going to go on one right now! No wait! Your Splash zap! Show me! Pleeeeease. pretty peppermint christmas around the corner please."

(Sorry for the short post, but didn't want to keep you waiting XD)

Or a few days after XD, posted.

His eyes lit up once she had begun to ask all of the questions though as he tried to think of an answer for each one his head almost exploded!....Well metaphorically at least. While she continued to talk he had formed the two elements into the two halfs of his body before speaking," Well...its not my clan element, but it is something that had been passed down my fathers village in timmmmeeessss long past. They called it...um," he paused for a moment trying to remember the name of the element before snapping his fingers," Oh! They called it Gale Release or something like that. It combines the two elements into awesome lasers and other stuff! I learned about it while reading some old things my mama kept around the house so I waited until the right moment to train it which was now," he couldn't help but wonder if he could actually go on a tomb raid for some awesome jutsu secrets, but did ninja actually do things like that?

Anyways the demonstration. As he finally got the balance right within his body, he slowly began to form a few hand seals before pointing his index finger towards a tree which was only fifteen meters from him and smiled," Alright Launch!!!," in which a whitish-blue laser would shoot from his hands and move towards the tree, but after moving five meters they began to split into five lasers and burrow into the tree. Of course as they hit the tree it would explode and Kasuga would jump into the air with excitement," Holy Cow! That was super amazing...This will be my new secret weapon against people. Do you want to learn it too Ling? We can be laser buddies and everything," the enthusiasm was high in his eyes as he waited for the girl to give him an answer.
