New Place, New Regimen (P, IO, NK)

Ashie was wondering around, the heat was almost staggering as she hadn't gotten use to the blinding sun either. She was nervous about changing her style of clothing the women here they dressed...too revealing. To the point where she question how anyone's parents would allow their child to walk out of their house like that! If Ashie were to adopt that dress style...oh would the wrath of her father rain from the heavens!
Today she did dress slightly different, today she had just a plan black tank top on and matching black shorts. She had her shinobi sandals on. This was revealing enough for Ashie! She usually had pants on, and another shirt with her hakari over it! This was only because Konoha had some cool breezes. Suna however, was ruthless heat and sun. Ashie ran the highest risk of passing out due to heat, but she took the precautions and dressed light.

Shaking off her train of though she heard the sounds of fighting ringing out from ahead, could this be? She ran forward towards the noise, keeping her breath even she found it! The training grounds! It was...huge! Considerably larger than Konoha's! There were always trees and of course the surrounding lake didn't help it either in size, why any sane shinobi could walk on water! But there was so much land here! Many pillars strewn about in some courts, some of them had ruin like buildings that you could train underneath to find sanctuary from the blazing sun. That was Ashie's choice of plane, shade! Oh how good it felt, she was sweating, how did Uncle Koroshi handle it? Well, he was a man, and he didn't seem to like wearing anything about the torso area. Ashie looked down at her own torso imagining if it were appropriate for her to also no wear anything upon her torso.

...

"Absolutely not!" she exclaimed her facing turning a deep shade of red as she crossed her arms over her chest. That's almost as rediculous as Viper letting where such...revealing...clothes. Most of the women she saw were very...gifted...in their hourglass-like figures. She paused lifting her left hand and using her forefinger and middle finger to gently trace underneath her left eye. It was shocking, how different she was from the rest of the Uchiha's. It scared her, she knew her father would do anything to help her understand her kekeigenkai better...but her mother's clan...they despised her and Samuru for being diluted. Like juice being poured into water...she was tart. Too bitter for the taste of the Hyuuga's.

She activated her Masutaai, but only regularly, if she had gone to the Mongekyou stage she'd be disobeying her father, that and she was frightened herself to risk hurting herself. She drew her hand away from her face and gazed into her palm, what did she see? She saw her hand, but not just that, she could see her point in which she could expel her chakra from to interupt the flow of chakra within her enemy. Funny, the Hyuuga's did not like her, yet she fought like a Hyuuga. She stretched her hand out further looking at her arm, she saw many points along her fore arm, elbow, and upper arm in which she could expel chakra from. Time to test something. She took a deep breath and began consentrating her chakra flow into her hand. She could see it, like a giant needle expelling from her palm, she pushed a little harder, splitting the chakra and forcing it through a point on her fore arm. Like before, a needle-like form of chakra coming from the point. Soon she felt a sweat drop drip from her forehead and she lost her concentration, she was losing her breath, it was no laughing joke keeping up enough chakra to expel it from every point.

But she would master her chakra control! She looked around and outside the ruin she had rested under was a small gathering of pillars, she walked into the center of the pillar circle, they were about half a meter away from her, she was perfectly centered. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes, and her arms flat against her sides. She focused, feeling her chakra in her center, moving up through her chest expelling out of the center of her chest, into her shoulders expelling out of her shoulder blades, further down her arms, expelling out of her upper arm, elbow, and fore arm. She pushed as much chakra as she could through before hearing something hit the pillars. She gasped and released the focus stopping the expulsion of chakra. She opened her eyes and looked around at each pillar. Very small divets the size of a small ball appeared on a few of the pillars. Was she expelling her chakra hard enough to disrupt stone?! She would find out.

So she stepped in the center again. This time she tried her lower body, expelling chakra from her stomach, her upper thighs, calves, and feet. She heard it again, a distinct chipping sound and she felt the ground move and crunch beneath her feet. Once more she stopped the expulsion, looking at the pillars before looking at the ground where her feet had planted themselves. Divets in the ground. Is this what some of mom's scrolls spoke of? Could she disrupt the flow of trapping elements around her? If only there was a lake or pond, but that would be silly, she would have to try it more once she got into a body of water. She looked around the training grounds, and she couldn't believe what she saw. It was an oasis, natural water in the hot desert? Though she had read that there were still underground lakes even in the desert. She ran as fast as she could before diving in, it felt devine, the cool water bringing her sloppy focus to attention. She opened her eyes before looking up at the world above. In that moment, she connected with Suna. It reminded her of when Samuru had brought Ashie swimming, she did this exact thing, she did a cannon ball and looked up at the world from under the water. This is what the Villages had in common with each other, they all looked up at the same world below the surface.

As she float in the water she wished everyone could have a moment like this, a moment where they can feel the world, feel connected with it, be at peace with it. She floated up to the surface and remained on her back for awhile, closing her eyes to feel the warm of the sun mix with the cool of the water. This was Suna, it was time for Ashie to move with the changes in her life. She took in a deep breath before letting herself sink back into the water. She curled up closed her eyes and focused she could feel it, her chakra was building up in each and every chakra point, but it quite wasn't enough to push the water. In her head she thought of the nightmare she had of her family laughing at her weekness. Her Uncle's laughter, her father's disappointed glare. Her mother's depressed sigh. All that was just the motivation that made Ashie push her chakra out! That's exactly what it did, she had pushed her chakra out so the water for a singular moment broke away from Ashie's body. She gasped as she fell back into the water, feeling the waves as the water reconnected with itself again. She did it! She could push out her chakra from every point! She emerged once more from the water, gasping as she caught her breath. She swam to the oasis's edge and pulled herself up. and leaned against the ledge of the oasis, waiting until her breath caught up with her. Her Hair was surprisingly almost dry, so she lifted herself out of the oasis and waited in the sun to dry off naturally.

As she waited she slowly realized, she wouldn't be able to do anything until her father deemed it safe in Konoha for her and her brother. She sighed, she couldn't do mission's for Suna, she wasn't a Suna shinobi. The only thing she could do was train, wait and maybe relax in between those two activities!

"Ugh!" She exclaimed letting herself fall back against the sand as she thought to herself. This was going to be dull, no Zero, no Yen, and no Kyoto. She had to meet new people?

"Ugh!!!" She exclaimed again. It was all so frustrating, why was this world so complicated? Can't everyone live in peace? She lifted herself off the sand and huffed, her hair was dry but it was suffocating her neck and shoulders, it was too hot for such long hair. Ashie reached into her pouch to pull out one of her kunai, she pulled her hair back loosely and tuck the Kunai behind her neck pulling it back as her hand holding her hair pulled back. She felt the cut, it was quick and clean. She slowly pulled her hands in front of her, looking at the amount of hair she had cut off. Not a lot...but enough to make a difference. She leaned forward and looked at her reflection in the water, it wasn't clear but she...liked how it looked, it looked lighter. This brought a small smile to the young shinobi's face.

She felt a small breeze go through Suna, she felt her hair flow behind her. It felt good, she felt much better now! Like she could continue her training! She Hopped to her feet walking back to the shady ruins, where she got into a comfortable stance, her Masutaai reacting to her chakra as she started combo her punches and kicks together, once she got the flow down she switched into her hyuuga stance her back leg bent her front leg straight until she bolted forward towards a pillar where she began striking, using what she learned earlier to her advantage, striking softly, but expelling her chakra to make dents in the pillar. One after another she pelted the pillar counting, chaining, counting...one-hundred and twenty-eight palms! She finished with a harder strike making a bigger dent than usual. She was panting again, she was pushing herself but this is what she needed to do to be strong! This was what she needed to do to prove to her father she can protect herself and Samuru! Even if she did it alone, she would be the shield AND the sword! She stared at the dents that she had just created, panting away as she counted them. This was nothing, her Uncle Koroshi could make crators, those were the classic rumors she heard walking around.

She leaned her forehead against the pillar, her fists clenched tight. Is she doing the right thing anymore? Her Uncle Navi attempted to end her father's life, but in retaliation he ended Navi's life instead. What is this world? Wasn't Navi family? She could feel her tears coming back, she's cried so much, how could she have any tears left? She took a deep breath and wiped at her eyes. She needed to forget about these things, they were simply out of her control. She needed to make new friends here, she turned and looked around, there were very few people training on the grounds today. She was nervous. What if they could tell who she was? They couldn't though, rumors can't spread that far and fast can they? Nah! She looked up at the sun, poised at midday, she should head back home, it was too hot out here for her at the current moment, she were sure to die of heat stroke out here. She wiped her forehead with her fore arm and turned herself towards the exit of the training grounds, where she left and began her hike back to her uncle's house.
