Illumination [S]

The last of what you must learn is not a Jutsu, but a skill. If you want to learn the ways of an Akari, you are also going to have to fight like one. The way they fight, ironically, is in the shadows. They could be some of the best bounty hunters due to their trickery and their speed. You seem to have a knack for doing both of those things, so this will be natural to you. No doubt that you are an Akari. Now, try your best to find me. His mother would tell him. So basically, she was going to show him the skill without explaining it to him. Was the rain of words supposed to be of comfort, or to distract him? With this in mind, he would see her disappear without leaving so much as a trace. Placing his arms up, he would try to look around, preparing for an attack. His eyes would glow once again to the Golden color of the Akari, showing that he was very well aware. No matter how much awareness he had, though, the fate was the same since their levels in Chakra were different, much different unfortunately for him. There seems to be no one around... No matter how hard he looked. Little did he know that she just simply had to mirror his movements to stay out of his sight. Like a prankster, it was all a trick. The Skill allowed her to remain silent, making him a confused Haruki. For example, if he were too sudden turn his head, she would just as suddenly move around his body since her speed was that high. No tricks, but just speed. Finally, she would wrap her right arm around his neck, using her left hand to hold a Kunai right next to the side of his neck. What if I told you that I was behind you the whole time? And that I was extremely quiet and stealthy. She would explain, letting him go. Haruki was amazing, despite the sudden shock he had when he was forced into a grip like that. There was a lot of strength behind those arms, that was a fact. How did you do that? What is this skill? The hooded child would ask, tilting his head to the side. His mother would place her hand on his head, rubbing it gently. It was surprisingly comforting to feel. Eh, I don't really think it has a proper name. I always heard it as "Art of the Akari". It was required of everyone to learn. You just need to be very subtle and quiet, and you can get the task done.

So the skill was to simply be silent and fast. And when he wanted to go for the kill, he could be even quicker. His body was apparently enhanced when he got quicker. So... It was like having an Adrenaline rush? Apparently, that was exactly what happened. It was dangerous as well, considering how such a substance was increasing. And he might eventually get too excited and nervous to the point in which he just froze and shake, most likely unable to recover and letting himself get exposed towards his enemies. Unfortunate results because of a mistake. However, this was a skill that will help him when he needed to capture an opponent, or even better, ambush them.

The goal was to capture his mother, silently getting her without her noticing. This was not going to be easy, but it was worth a shot. Taking a deep breath, he would then try to disappear ours from her sight. To do this, he was going to have to enhance his speed, using the classic Body Flicker Jutsu. Once that happened, he would try to hide behind her, being as silent as he can. She would turn her head around towards the right, meaning Haruki had to move towards the left. So he would step towards that direction, only for her to suddenly carry out a floor sweep to the left, causing him to fall onto his back, an unfortunate result from the first attempt. She got him, was his not silent enough? Or was she that good with hearing? Wait, no, even the most experienced fighter was unable to hear it. It took someone with amplified ears to detect it, and last he checked, the Akari Bloodline was not designed to detect, but be undetected. So with that, he would roll back up before listening to what his mother had to say.

You tried to mimic what I did to be sneaky, and I had a feeling you would do that. So I had to lure you out, and look what happened. Everyone is different, even if we are family. So you need to find your own style of being sneaky. See, currently, you are not used to be very close to me, but you certainly do seem to have fun at a distance. Mix your Jutsus, see what you can do with them She would explain. all right, use the Jutsus, and be sneaky with them? Placing his hands up, he would use the clone sign, Shadow Clone specifically, summoning two versions of himself. All right, so they were within reach. He just simply had to make it look like his clones took the damage. so he would transform into something as simple and small as a cat using the transformation technique. It was easy. After that, the Shadow Clone would take his place, trying to use Body Flicker, and would pretend to ignore the advice that was given to him by his mother. Once that had been done, he would then begin the show. The clone would try again, stepping behind his mother and trying to avoid her. However, he had the technique ready, substitution, ready to switch with the real Haruki, who was the cat. His mother caught the clones trick, and ended up elbowing him to inflict the damage, but would instead meet the cat, who released the Justu. He took a bit of damage, but it was not directly where she was aiming, and nowhere near critical. In the end, he was able to wrap his own arms around her waist before the clone would activate the Temporary Paralysis Jutsu, forcing his mother in place. Seems like she fell for it, taking the hook and sinker. I did all of that without even letting you know. How was that, mom? He would ask. She would just chuckle a little bit in response, causing both the Haruki's to tilt their heads to the side, their lips both forming "o"'s as they wondered what she was laughing about. Well, yes, you did get me. But that was you using Jutsus. You need to be able to do it with just your body as well. It is nice that you are being creative with your techniques, but if you are unable to get the basics, everything will fall apart. Plus, the goal was to be sneaky so that I would not expect a thing, but your plan relied on me knowing of your existence. Sorry to say that you are not quite there yet.

With that, she would quickly throw a Kunai over towards the Shadow Clone was was behind her. Remember, the boy did summon two, and the attention was taken away from the second one. It seems like it was still on her radar, though, and the clone would shatter into clouds as it disappeared. I must commend you, you do seem to think of things through, even when things are seemingly over. However, you are not the only ninja to be able to do this. Without the basics, you are unable to master the techniques you want to. Imagine knowing the signs of Chidori, since I know you like that so much. And now imagine being unable to place your hands on the signs. You know them, but you can't execute them, and you can't use it. Every little piece counts my child, and so I would suggest you learn the simple things. Now, let's try again, and remember to avoid me noticing you sneaking on me. You may use Jutsu's, but don't let me know that you are there. That is the goal, to be sneaky. And with that, she would throw a second Kunai at the second Haruki, which would disappear in a cloud of smoke as well. Looks like he was going to have to start from scratch. Placing his arms up, he would then look over towards the Kunai that had been thrown... Kunai... Speed... That was it! He needed to use the illusions that were there! The Image Manipulation will do the trick! So with that, he would going to have to place a clone above, so they can use the Image Manipulation in order to thrown a fake Kunai knife. Perfect! So he would use Body Flicker once again to get out of the line of sight. And in doing so, he would bring out another Shadow Clone, having it using the Image Manipulation. It would throw the Kunai while Haruki returned back to his original state, right behind the mother, who had no idea.

Once the knife had been thrown, she would quickly turn around to face the knife before moving her head to the side. While doing so, she would eye the Shadow Clone, while the real Haruki spun around right behind, just all too silently for her to notice him, and so he would get out from there. Nice try Haruki, but again, you have to be more silent than that to get your bounties.m She would explain, placing her hands on her hips. Oh, the little that she knew. The real one would jump up and hold her the same way she held him when she placed him in a headlock, resultig in her being captured with a knife being held at the side of her throat. It was a success, she fell for the trap badly, and this was her reward for it. In the end, she was unable to shake him off due to the tight grip that he had. I am sorry, what were you trying to tell me? The child would ask tauntingly after she gave up, and so he would let her go from the hold, resulting in him learning the trick. This was called the Art of the Akari, correct? In that case, he was had learned their art. The next thing that he needed to do now was learn what he was going to do with it. Seriously, how was this going to help him in the future? There was no one he wanted to capture, none that he could think of. And if the people that she said were after him were to come after him, why did he need to be sneaky? They were the ones coming after him?

However, as he tried to ask the questions, he mouth would be silenced. There was no way out of it, but he was unable to escape from being forced to keep quiet. Was this another part of the Genjutsu? Once again, he found himself unable to move either. This was not right! Something was preventing him from getting out. In a desperate attempt to escape, he would try to move his Chakra towards his palm so that he could use the lightning beast running technique. Unfortunately for him, it was an unsuccessful attempt, seeing as his own Chakra seemed to disobey him, no longer flowing through his body. However, his Golden Eyes were able to blink. With one blink, the world blurred a bit, but he could still see. Another blink, the body of his mother was gone, and the world was much too blurry. The third one, everything was turning mosiac, like pixels. The final blink would bring him nothingness, like he kept his eyes closed. Was this the goodbye? Not even an I Love You message or anything? Then again, there were probably reasons for it, knowing his mother. She did not normally get her messages across the best of ways... But she always had the best of intentions when doing so.
