Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gouen was taken quite aback by the sand storm that suddenly assaulted his face, causing him to wipe his eyes and end the Genjutsu. "This girl is quite adept with the sand. Perhaps I can trust her......to use it for offense as well as defense." Gouen thought to himself. "Alright girl, listen up. Defensive jutsu wont protect you forever, and taijutsu can only do so much. So I will teach you offensive ninjutsu. Now watch." Gouen then reached into his bag and pulled out three shurinken, then said "Suna Yadama Ooikakusu." Sand from the surrounding area, even a little from Shi's gourd, formed over the shuriken and made a coat of sand, designed to get sand into a shuriken wound, making it more painful. "This jutsu allows you to coat weapons in sand, and trust me, if it hits, it will be much more effective than the average weapon. Try it."

Name: Suna Yadama Ooikakusu (Sand Projectile Coat)
Description: Before releasing a projectile such as a kunai or shuriken, the user first coats it with a thin layer of sand. The main purpose of this is to get sand within a wound when the projectile strikes, inflicting extra pain to distract the enemy.

"Good, good. Now you'll be of SOME use in a fight." Gouen remarked, reminding her that even though she was learning fast, she was still just an academy student. Wasting no time, Gouen formed a single handseal and said "Suna Jishaku." Extending his left hand, Gouen made several clumps of sand fly towards him, making what looked like a giant anthill after 30 seconds. "Now, this jutsu will call sand to your side when that gourd of your's runs out. It's also great when you need to use the Suna Yadama Ooikakusu quickly. Try it out."

Name: Suna Jishaku (Sand Magnet)
Description: As the name of this jutsu implies, this technique allows the user to draw sand towards them. The user simply forms one hand into a seal, and holds their other hand out, attracting the sand towards their outstretched hand. They can attract any sand in the area towards them, providing that they can see it, and that the sand is not currently under another persons control. The amount of sand they can draw towards them is dependant on the user. At low levels only a bare few handfuls of sand can be drawn towards them at one time, while with much higher ranks the user can draw vast amounts of sand, enough for five to ten sand clones.

Gouen looked at the girl perform the jutsu, but also noticed how she had begun to tire, beads of sweat rolling down her face from chakra loss. Pulling out a small bag, ouen reached in and pulled out an Onigiri, tossing it to her. "Your almost out of chakra. Eat this, and rest for a bit." He said, pulling out a very very small sake bottle, and drinking a small cup.

Finishing up his sake, Gouen turned the bottle into sand, allowing it to scatter into the wind. "Alright, I have one more jutsu of your level to teach you, girl." Much to the dismay of a woman watering her plants, Gouen stole a potted plat out of a windowsill, dividing the soil into two piles. Making a few handseals, Gouen touched the pile and said "Doujou Kirikae." The soil instantly changed into sand. "This jutsu will allow you to use more sand by making it from soil, Which would be useful if your in a forest, like fire country. It will get progressively stronger as you are able to put more chakra into it."

Name: Doujou Kirikae (Soil Conversion Technique)
Description: After mastering the appropriate stages, the user is able to use sand techniques by converting soil into sand for the duration of the technique.
Chuunin – The user may use all techniques below chuunin level in conjunction with the soil conversion technique.
Jounin – This is the same as above, except for Chuunin and below, allowing the use of those techniques in conjunction with the soil conversion technique.
Kage/Sannin – The same as above, except for Jounin and below.

Gouen nodded the girls way. "Well, it seems as if you have a firm grasp on the abilities of sand. I suppose I have nothing left to teach you, unless of course, you need to learn taijutsu." Gouen said, almost hoping she said she didnt. Gouen still hadnt had time to rest from that mission.

"Taijutsu, you say? Ehh, I could give it a shot. Now tell me, what type of taijutsu would you wish to learn? Gouen asked, wondering how he, an assassin type ninja, would teach effective taijutsu, and wondering when he could sleep and get some Ramen.
