Fine Print [P, Ryou]

A bloodline... Akane had never thought she had one, she always thought she was just an ordinary child who was thrown away by her parents. Akane simply thought she was a mistake, something that was never meant to enter this world but this made her think. Were her parents trying to get away from the life of a Shinobi? Were they trying to stop her from enduring the pain that a Shinobi must live through? If they were they did a pretty shitty job considering they threw her in a town full of Missing Nin.

Even if they were trying to protect her she still didn't want to meet or learn anything about either of them but it seemed that she was going to be forced to learn something. Akane needed to learn what Clan her bloodline came from and how to use it and she couldn't do that without first learning what Clan she was from. It seemed that she would have to make a trip to the village that she was raised in and would have to return to the orphanage that she left when she became aware of what she was doing in the world. It was a hellish place that Akane had vowed to never return to, but if it meant that she would find out what kind of power she possessed she would return to it.

Once Ryou finished healing her she would rise from her position and would say, "No, I don't know anything about my parents and I don't even know if I have any siblings. My parents ditched me at an orphanage in the slums of a small village in the Land of Wind. It seems that I'll have to pay it a visit to find out exactly what Clan I come from. Also, if you don't mind I'd like you to accompany on my journey considering traveling can get quite lonely. Although, if you don't wish to come along I could see if someone else from the group wants to come along." Akane would then pause for a minute allowing him to reply and would nod at whatever response he gave her. She would then speak once more, "Anyways, how about we continue our training? Finding out more about myself can always wait a little bit considering it's taken me 19 years to find out that I possess a bloodline."

Ryou heard her story about how she was an orphan. The Lycan could relate, he to lost his parents, but not out abandonment but about of murder. "I'm sorry to hear..." was the only thing that came out of Ryou's mouth after that. Then Akane asked if they should continue with training. "Sure, What element do you have?" If she would answer honestly, Ryou would say. "Well, I have water style as well, maybe we could learn some water style jutsu together?" The D-ranked missing ninja would pull from his weapon pouch the book of jutsu. "This is a list of jutsu C-rank and lower." Flipping open the book he would search for awhile before stopping on Haze Clone Technique. "Maybe this jutsu." He would show her the page. After a good look, Ryou pulled the book away and said,"Unless you wanna spar still?"

(OOC: Since I had to change clans lets pretend that the paper stuff never happened and my body hardened instead or something like that)

Akane would answer Ryou's question about the elements she knows truthfully and would watch him as he flipped through a book of techniques and stopped on the Haze Clone Technique. She would examine the technique and how it worked before saying, "Sure, that seems like it'd be pretty useful. I need to learn a Water Technique anyways considering I don't know any and it's my main element." Akane would examine the page for a while before backing up and performing the hand seals, upon completing the hand seals she would proceed to create 5 haze clones that looked quite realistic. She would then turn to Ryou with a smile stretched across her face and would say, "How did I do?"

After like a minute, Akane seemed to have the jutsu down. Once she asked for his opinion. "Looked great." He nodded. The Lycan also weaved the hand signs and began to infuse chakra into his body. Soon afterwards, 5 clones of Ryou appeared much like Akane. "Alright, we both seem to have the jutsu down, do you have anything interesting to teach?" Ryou asked in wonder. He wasn't sure if what she had was teachable but it was worth asking.

Akane would look at Ryou when he asked if she had any Jutsu worth learning and she would say, "I think I have two techniques that would be worth learning if you're up to it. One is a Fuinjutsu called the Mark Seal and the other Technique is called the Summoning technique which can be used to summon those with the Mark Seal on them." If Ryou showed interest in learning them she would explain how the Mark Seal Jutsu worked and would demonstrate the technique by placing a Mark Seal on his palm if he allowed her to. Hopefully, it wouldn't take too long for him to learn as Akane also had to teach him the Summoning Technique which could take a little bit. 

[TWC: 1,752]

Summoning jutsu?! Ryou thought excitedly. Not that long ago, The young Lycan got a summoning contract with a race of Roadrunners and he had been dying to learn the jutsu. Mark Seal also an important jutsu so it would be nice to learn them both. "Yeah, that would be awesome." Ryou would await further instructions. She would show him by giving him one at the palm of his hand. Now it was his turn to try. Ryou knew the basics of Fuuin jutsu with the help of his friend Love. The D-ranked missing ninja would have Akane extend her hand to him so that he could get one on her like she did to him. Then, he placed his hand on hers and closed his eyes. He focused on getting the chakra onto her skin and to connect with himself. Soon afterwards, the mark appeared on her hand like she had done to him. "Alright, I think I got it down." Ryou would state. For the most part, that was pretty easy for Ryou, now for the part, he had been waiting for. "I have a summoning contract with a race of giant Roadrunners, this will be great for me." The Lycan would inform her. He hoped that she would have him summon maybe one of them. Of course, he wouldn't be able to summon a high ranking roadrunner, probably an E-rank. Although, she did mention that the mark seal could summon anyone they place it on, so many that was what the training was going to be. Either way, Ryou awaited instructions for the next part of the training.

Once Ryou successfully placed the Mark Seal she would smile and congratulate him before moving onto the Summoning Technique. Akane would begin teaching him by performing the hand seals slowly and then placing her hand on the ground which would summon him directly in front of her. Akane would then look at Ryou and say, "Now you give it a try if you need me to show you the Hand seals again tell me and I'll be more than happy to show you." She would then walk around 10 meters away from him and would sit on the ground and think about a technique that she kind of wanted to try out called the Mind Eye of the Kagura. It seemed like it would be a fairly useful Jutsu when going on missions as it could help her avoid unnecessary trouble. 

While Akane waited for him to summon her to his position she would begin to attempt to use the technique. Upon activation of it, she was only able to feel a single chakra signature and that signature was Ryou's who was only a mere ten meters away. It was disappointing that she couldn't detect people further than ten meters away at the moment but at least she knew that she was able to perform the technique and could possibly build on it. Akane would then attempt to give it another shot but her attempt was futile, she was only able to sense up to 10 meters away once more. It seemed that she would have to take the time to learn the technique later as it'd take too long to learn right now and she didn't want to be interrupted suddenly if Ryou had figured out the Summoning Technique.

[TWC: 2,042]

Ryou nodded as his instructions were clear, summon Akane like she did with him. After he had appeared, she had given the directions and told if he needed any help memorising the hand signs. The hand signs were never a problem for Ryou, that was alway the first thing he memorised. Weaving the signs was the first thing he did, then the chakra flowing through his body. Then placing his hand on the ground. A dramatic cloud appeared, which really got Ryou's hopes up, but it turned out to be nothing. The Lycan sighed and tried again. Weaving the signs, getting chakra through his body, then releasing it into the object he touched. He tried three more times but they all seemed unsuccessful. 

The poor, young, Lycan D-ranked missing ninja had used up a lot of his chakra. He had been continuously trying to summon the other shinobi for 30 minutes but he couldn't quite do it. Ryou had collapsed on his back, breathing heavily, he needed to get this down before nightfall. During this time resting, he mind began to think more. He started to first think of how he was going to get this jutsu down. He knew that it wasn't going to be a cake walk and that it would take some patience, on Ryou's end and Akane's end. Finally, his thoughts would go to his "big brother and sister", Salzem and Ayame. Ryou hoped that they would be ok and they didn't think he had died or something. 

It had been 30 mins for Ryou to rest, so he thought that was a petty good amount of time of resting. The Lycan arose from his sitting spot. The weaved the hand signs again and infuse the chakra. Finally ending with a palm to the ground. The smoke was there but no Akane. He did it three more times. The third time was final time because once he placed his hands on the ground and the smoke appeared, Akane appeared before him. At first, he was a bit startled but he soon recovered. "I finally did it, but now I'm a bit weaker...think you can take me on now?" Ryou challenged

Akane would look at Ryou and smile when he asked to spar once more then would say, "I'd love to spar again." She would then walk roughly 10 meters away from Ryou once more and would wait for him to take his position while she prepared herself for his first attack. Hopefully this time she wouldn't gain an unfair advantage through whatever was happening to her. Akane didn't know if what was happening to her the cause of a bloodline or just mere luck but if it happened again she'd definitely try to figure out. It'd require her going all the way back to the Land of Wind which she didn't exactly want to do since she didn't want to go back until she was stronger and could see Haruki again. 

[TWC: 2,173]

Akane got into her stance 10 meters away, Ryou did as well. "Great, let's go." He said now that she was ready. The young Lycan knew he didn't have much chakra left so he would have to resort to not using it. The first simple thing he would do was charge at her. Then once close enough, he would last-minute move to her right to strike her right side of her with his right fist. If the strike was successful, then he would lift his left knee to attack her from behind. He hoped that this would get her to realised his attack pattern cause she wasn't doing too hot with tai jutsu. Then again, Ryou wasn't the best teacher when it comes to tai jutsu.
