Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nicely done. Now for the next jutsu, I need your gourd." Without even waiting for a reply, Gouen took the gourd, made some handseals over it and said "Suna Kojinmari no Jutsu." Sand from Gouen's sand clone began to whisk away into the gourd, until he had doubled the amount that was normally supposed to go into the gourd. "This jutsu allows you to carry extra sand without the added weight. Now, try it out."

Name: Suna Kojinmari no Jutsu (Sand Compaction Technique)
Description: This technique was created when the lack of an abundance of sand being available was recognised as a severe hindrance to invading sand shinobi. While gourds of sand could be used to allow the user to take sand with them, the amounts contained within a normal gourd were insufficient for higher-level techniques. This technique does not eliminate the need for gourds, but rather it complements it. By using chakra to forcefully pack sand together, the user can hold a vast amount more sand inside a normal gourd, allowing them to double its regular capacity. Additionally, as the sand is kept held in place by the users chakra, the sand does not add any extra weight to the gourd, at least so long as the user remains under control. The amount of chakra required for this technique is typically negligible, though beginner users may still find it tiring after awhile.

"Good, Good, Your catching on quite nicely." Gouen remarked, slightly less bored now, but still unimpressed. "Now then, here's a technique that wont help you in combat, but may one day save your life in this desert." without even making handseals, Gouen charged chakra within his feet, and began running around the training fields. Shi might think he had gone crazy from the heat inside his full white body suit, until she noticed he wasnt leaving tracks where he walked. "Try it with me." He said, still running around.

Name: Suna Tegakari Fukikesu (Sand Track Eraser)
Description: A simple but effective technique for those who are fleeing through the desert. Channelling chakra to their feet, this allows the user to generate small bursts of sand with every step. By leaving behind these small bits of sand, the user of this technique is able to erase their tracks. The sand wipes away any trace of a footprint left on any object and then becomes impossible to distinguish from normal sand and soil in the area. Other signs of passing, such as breaking twigs and disturbing plants will remain unchanged. This technique is also not effective at stopping anyone tracking by smell. While very little control is required at the lowest level to perform this technique, those with greater levels of control can exploit this technique for other means. Eventually the user is able to not only erase their own footprints, but also create false ones in their place, which could be used to mislead an enemy as to the users location. The shinobi may also learn to create multiple sets of prints, misleading the enemy to thinking there are many shinobi ahead.

"Ahh, I see. You understood the purpose quickly. But now it's time we ended ninjutsu. Time for you to learn genjutsu." Gouen lifted the flap of his cloth that covered his bright green eyes, focusing on Shi until she began to feel as if she were trapped within a deadly sandstorm. The storm would feel like it was ripping and tearing, but in actuality was just a genjutsu. It was up to shi to realize that, though even then, Gouen would still probably have to be the one to break her free.

Name: Suna Arashi no Shinto (Deadly Sand Storm)
Description: A simple jutsu, but an effective one in the right hands. Originally created as a technique for pranks, the user forces the target of the technique to see and feel a small focused sandstorm. The sandstorms varies in severity based on the users intelligence, and the sandstorm can even carry with it additional objects to cause the target concern such as scorpions or small weapons.

Gouen sighed, placed his hand on the girl's forehead, and muttered "Kai!" The sandstorm within her mind vanished, and Gouen began to lecture her on genjutsu. "Now then, a genjutsu is almost like an artificial world within a world. You must target one of the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, or feeling. Now if yo are caught in a genjutsu there are two known way to get out of it. The first is to inflict physical harm on yourself, nothing mortal, but enough to bleed, like biting your lip. The second way, which is more practical yet less effective, is through a chakra pulse technique called 'kai.' At your level, your not ready for Kai, so try the other way." And with that, Gouen once again placed her under the sandstorm illusion.

"Good job. Now that you've experienced it twice, try it on me. Focus on the optical and sensory parts of the brain when you use this jutsu. And Begin!" Gouen said, awaiting her to cast the jutsu.

(Just take the cost for each jutsu learned, not each attempt)

Gouen smiled under his mask, though no one would ever be able to tell. Despite himself, he was truly pleased with this girl's progress. "Alright, now I have one more ninjutsu to teach you, one that may save your life if you ever lose that gourd." Loosening two bricks from a nearby building (Yea, I'm gonna say he can do that.) he tossed one brick to the girl, and set one on the ground. Making a small set of handseals over the brick, Gouen placed two fingers on it and said "Muki Suna Kaishin." The brick instantly changed into a brick of sand before the physics of displacement acted upon it and turned it into a mere pile of sand. "This jutsu allows you to create sand where none exists. It's the jutsu that gave Godaime Kazekage his nearly limitless amount of sand, though no one else in the history of Sunagakure has been able to match his level. But maybe someday, you could surpass him...........maybe. Anyway, try it out."
Name: Muki Suna Kaishin (Inorganic Sand Conversion)
Description: By placing their hand against a solid object, the user of this technique can convert it to sand. Generally only inorganic objects may be converted, but at a higher rank, the user may also convert minor organic objects such as plants and tree's as well, though people and animals are obviously out of the question. The main purpose of this technique is to allow the user to completely destroy an object; once it has been turned into sand it cannot be returned to it’s normal state. The size of the object that may be transformed is dependant upon the user. While with low levels only fairly small objects could be converted to sand with any reasonable degree of speed, anything around the size of the users fist essentially, but at higher levels entire walls could be transformed to sand in an instant. Additionally, the hardness of the material being converted affects the time needed to convert it, as such while simple stones could be converted extremely quickly, metal would require a longer period of contact, making it typically unsuitable for use on weapons except in special circumstances.

"Good, Good, you've learned quite a bit of ninjutsu, now onto another genjutsu." Gouen remarked while making handseals. Without warning, he suddenly vanished from shi's vision, but his voice rang out saying "This jutsu, the chameleon skin, is good for blending into your surroundings, obviously. Cast it upon yourself, and eventually I wont be able to see you. But you can still be heard, smelt, felt, or even seen if you dont blend in right."

Name: Hada no Kamereon (Chameleon Skin)
Description: Forming chakra in the area around them, the user creates a basic genjutsu that’s purpose is to help blend their body in with whatever surroundings are available. The illusion is not perfect however and higher ranked shinobi are far more adept in seeing through the genjutsu.

When Gouen lost sight of Shi he knew that the jutsu had worked, and decided to teach her another. "Alright you can end the jutsu, I've got one more for you." Gouen said, although he didnt even need to wait: He could see the bits of sand in the wind suddenly stop when they hit her. Without warning Genotu said "Suna Arashi no Odokemono!" To Shi, it would appear as if a giant sandstorm had just kicked up, but that it was intentionally aiming for her eyes, nose, and mouth. It was fairly simple to dispel, with just a rub of the eye, but it was still good for a split second distraction.

Name: Suna Arashi no Odokemono (Trickster’s Sand Storm)
Description: This jutsu causes the opponent to believe that a sandstorm is kicking up, blinding his vision, irritating his eyes, getting into his nose and mouth. Mostly used for distractions, as the enemy will catch on to the genjutsu fairly quickly most of the time. Simply rubbing their eye's will usually end the genjutsu, though it is still quite useful if one can take use of the temporary blindness the target may suffer.
