Tenshi wandered out of the hotel room she had been sharing with Shuiro, it was time for yet another day of training, the skill to hone today? Fuuton or Wind, improving it was vital to improving her other more used and loved element Hyouton. Heading to the library she mentally shook her head, training and missions had become her life when she wasn’t with dear Shuiro. Upon entering the library she stopped in tracks, puzzled she looked around realizing that of all the times she had ever come to a library she had only been to the weapons section, casting her eyes over the place she was very confused at the way it was set up it was completely different from Kiri’s library, she would have to ask someone for help. Turning to the right she found a friendly looking woman standing there, carefully she studied her absorbing her appearance before walking up to her, the woman stood about 5’4” just a bit taller than Shuiro was, with flowing honey maple colored hair down her back and over her shoulders with a slight curl to it, ample looking breasts, dressed in a tighter red long sleeved jacket type shirt with a long flowing pink skirt. Taking a chance she walked up to the woman and in a attempt to speak softly and with complete calmness coloring her every words started her question “Hello, I was wondering if maybe you could point me to the section of books on the shinobi usage of wind?” staring hopefully at the woman she breathed a sigh of relief when the woman actually spoke to the smaller Kiri nin. “Fuuton books… hmmm those should be over to your left on the very back wall.” She said taking a small breath and smiling before finishing her instructions. “My name is Masami I’m the librarian on call today and if you need me I will be either here or at my desk over in the north east corner, I hope you find what you are looking for!” with that having been said the woman took her leave heading straight to the desk she had indicated towards. Turning to the left she followed the woman’s instructions finding herself at a shelf full of books on the fuuton element scanning them she pulled out a rather thick one that looked impressive. Taking it to a nearby table she sat down and opened it, she began to slowly browse through it noting the techniques that looked good to her, deep breathing exercise, cutting a leaf with wind, channeling it her hands, yes these where all very good ideas and suggestions. Shutting the book she stepped out of the chair and replaced it on the shelf, walking out of the library, nodding right before she walked out the doors to the woman from earlier.

Once she left the library she stopped and paused, thinking over it she knew she needed a breezy, open to the air area, like say the rolling hills in Konoha. Allowing her feet to take her to the open, warm breeze filled, luscious green area she watched over everything, now that her time was drawing to a end here she was beginning to see the beauty of the fire country, especially in the village hidden in the leaves on Konoha as many call it. Casting her eyes around she walked to the highest hill slowly climbing it until she’s was on the tip of it, before sitting down. Once she was sitting comfortable she closed her big dark indigo eyes and began to control her breathing carefully, she counted each breath and tried to control how much of the air she took in, she could not help but notice that even the breeze here was different, in Kiri the breeze had been cool and you could tell it was filled with water in it not a hint of dryness was in that air, while in this air it was hot and while the breeze its self would still feel pleasant when it her skin but not the same pleasing coolness as back home. In, out, in, out, her breathing went on and on, she focused on the air entering and filling up her lungs and it’s departing and leaving her lungs empty and needing it more. Once she had had enough of this type of training she opened her eyes slowly, adjusting to the light that flooded them once they had fully opened, standing up she looked for a tree or leaf that was nearby her, finding one finally she headed off for it crossing over 3 other hills before reaching the large looking tree full of dark green leaves, reaching up she took one and pressed it between both of her palms, pressing them together so that it would not fall she focused her energy on that one flimsy leaf. Pressing tighter she focused on the leaf, every detail of it, the lines inside it, the weird slightly itchy texture that maple leaves contained. Feeling something snap in her mind she excitedly opened her hands only to see a leaf laying their fully in one piece, slamming her hands back shut she started to feel angry, channeling that she focused more and more until she heard a loud resonating rip, opening her hands slowly she saw the leaf laying in her palm in two cleanly sliced pieces. She allowed a smile to emerge across her face, she had done it channeled her energy into slicing the leaf in half, that was good it was a great step onto the right path, the needed path to power and control. Looking around she felt some itching need come across her, she needed more things to do, something more to prove to herself her strength. Looking at her hand she began to channel chakra to it, holding it there she attempted to force the fuuton chakra she held inside her, carefully having it away from the suiton chakra that also coursed through her body so as to prevent a creation of Hyouton. Once the fuuton had merged with the normal element free chakra, she carefully honed it, trying to keep it carefully round and moving, not wanting it to lose control and get out of her control. After nearly an hour of channeling it and keeping it perfectly still in her hand she held out her other and instead of combining the two chakra’s she immediately channeled the fuuton energy by its self into her hand. She held it there for a few moments before it spun out of control knocking her backwards on to the ground. With a growl ripping from her throat she stood back up and slowly focused all of her energy into summoning up only fuuton energy into her hand. Focusing intently on to that ball, the spinning, out of control ball of pure wind energy in her left hand, she needed to control this, not just in one hand but in both hands. Staring at the ball she noticed that one area was the most unstable of the entire ball, focusing her attention onto that area she watched as the extra fuuton chakra she sent out encompassed that area and controlled it, refining it to a perfect neat ball of pure wind chakra. Once she was satisfied with the ball she opened up her other hand and began to focus fuuton chakra into that hand, happily she saw that this time the energy was much more control and spinning around. It was a rather harmless thing, only good for training pure chakra not for any sort of an attack. Sitting down on this new hill she slowly closed her eyes, took in a deep breath, and began to attempt to mediate; for once she was doing it out of her intent to control something not for pure power. She truthfully hoped that since she entered with this method that she would escape her normal cold mental world.

Falling backwards, her body lost all color, her breathing began to slow to a nonexistent pace. When she opened her eyes she was not in the beautiful world of ice, nor any place she knew. Her new surrounding area was clear; there was no ground at her feet, no plants no nothing at all it was just all air. Looking around cautiously she felt at peace oddly, the air entered her and left her easily, looking around she spied a girl like none she had ever seen, her hair was a long pure beautiful white, her outfit a breezy non-constricting light blue dress, no shoes adorned her small white feet, and her eyes they were the same blue as the sky above her in Konoha, she was like personification of air it’s self. The woman looked at her with a kind smile before speaking “My name is Kaze, I am wind.” Obviously she saw the confused look that emerged upon Tenshi’s face and smiled. “Well, I am what you identify with as wind, you wish to master me do you not?” at the tentative nod the woman Kaze received from the small Aisu girl she continued on. “If that is what you truly want you have a long way to go, you need to be calm and collected not all over the place and filled with hatred.” The woman walked to Tenshi, stopping just in front of her and breathed slowly into her face. Tenshi tried her hardest to stay still at the woman’s closeness and breathing almost into her mouth, but was shocked at the cold, wet air that came out of it. She looked at the woman with confusion written on her face before the woman motioned for Tenshi to just breathe. Following her example she started to breath slowly, surprised with the way the air felt in her lungs, like it was filling her body more than a normal breath had ever before, almost like it was all she would ever need, like it would never fully leave her small body. She looked at the woman in complete and utter shock and was only greeted with a smile. “All of this air dear Tenshi, is Fuuton Chakra, it is the wind running through your veins, coursing through your blood. You can call on this at any time you need it little one and it will come. As you train this than the stronger it will become until you have fully mastered it.” The woman, Kaze nodded to herself almost as if she had realized something of her own in the words she had spoken. She looked at the Tenshi appraisingly almost as if the girl where taller and hard to look at, despite the fact that Tenshi was somewhere between two and four inches shorter than her, once she was done sizing the smaller female up she began to speak again. “Now small one, the way this moves, and is used here is what you will be able to do once you have fully mastered it, not when you are done training now but later, probably much later. Now, take this leaf and do with it what you have done before.” She held out a simple leaf, different from the maple tree leaf she had used before, Tenshi took it gingerly and placed it on one palm before closing it in her hands and pushing them together, she had just began put her focus onto the leaf before she heard the rip echo across the area they were in. Opening her hands she stared in shock at the leaf split cleanly in half in her hands, it hadn’t taken half as long as before nor did she need any anger for this leaf. She looked up at the woman the shock still written cleanly on her face and was only greeted with a rather large smile. Slowly Kaze walked towards Tenshi closer now then they had ended up with the apparent unconscious steps that Tenshi had apparently taken, once she was close enough that Tenshi could feel Kaze’s breath on her eyelashes, she reached out one slender hand and tested it on Tenshi’s forward before with a gentle smile she shoved backwards. Tenshi felt herself fall backwards and suddenly realized that there was nothing underneath her to stop her from hitting the ground, her body felt tightly bound like she could not move no matter how much she wanted to. Looking down she was surprised to see herself appearing in a deep sleep on the warm breezy hill. Though in the back of her head she knew that she was just in a mental world, as soon as her body touched the ground her mind blacked out, only to awake on the ground completely unharmed.
