[HA] Learning Nara clan Techs with Azráel
- Thread starter Akatsukii
- Start date
As the young teenager awaits his Sensei, a huge hawk ascends from the sky. As it comes into view properly, a scroll can be seen strapped to its leg. The hawk flies over to the student and sits over his shoulder.
Jean looks at the bird with bewilderment as it unexpectedly lands on his shoulder. He calms down once he sees the scroll strapped to its leg,"Hm? he takes the scroll from the birds leg and reads it before checking over his ninja tools once more. "Alright I'm ready." he says as he makes his way to the Nara clan forest
Right in the middle of the forest, Death sit over a huge rock playing with his shadows. You see, over time, Death had mastered Shadows to such a level that he could now use a specialized fighting style using only his shadows. He would create various objects made out of his shadow chakra and play with it. And ever since, he has been busy playing with it.
As he waits for his student, Dust - his custom weapon would float over his head, informing Death of any disturbance in the surrounding.

Jean pushes away some shrubbery to come to a clearing located in the center of the forest where he sees Death playing with shadows as his weapon floats overhead."This is Death? Not really what I would have pegged him as." Jean thinks to himself as he advances towards his Sensei"Are you the guy who's going to be training me today?" Jean asks
Death sits patiently as he notices his student come out of the woods. So another teenage brat, I see! Death was presumptuous of the boy with his looks. He had trained many previously, and he knew he could handle anyone by now. The guy? Naaaaah. I'm your shisou! Death spoke with a cold and eerie voice. His words echoed throughout the forest as the wind itself carried his voice all around to make it more frightening, not to mention that he was the size of a half giant.
You must be Jean? Death asked ambivalently. Though he was excited to teach his new student, he was also careful to make sure the student didn't get ahead of himself.
Let me know whatever you know about our clan. Death still sat patiently while Dust now moved over to the boy's head, hovering above him.

Jean looks up at Dust with slight apprehensiveness before looking back to Death and complying with his demands,"We are one of the most noble clans in Konoha frequently given recognition for our services. However,most of the men in this clan are lazy and unmotivated,but not me of course. Our clansmen have a special relationship with the Akimichi clan and Yamanaka clan. For at least the past two generations, we have formed the Ino-Shika-Cho combo.Not really known to much of the public is that we also have a research facility with a bunch of medicine stored in it. It is located deep in the mountains, and has so little security that its almost pitiful."
Jean ponders a bit before continuing "....Our clan has the hidden ability to control and use our own shadows, and the shadows of others to our advantage, by attaching our shadow to the opponent's, and taking control pf them. Using our shadow controlling techniques, Nara members can extend, combine, control, and more with them, even going so far as to being able to strangle a person with their own shadow. That's all I know. Is that enough?"
"What is a shadow?" Jean asks questioningly "A shadow is a dark area produced by a something coming between rays of light and a surface,right? We Nara can manipulate are shadows to attack our opponent in a variety of different ways. "

Death ponders over his student's answer for couple of seconds before continuing. Alright, tell me then. What is the strength and weakness of a shadow? Death was quite sure that the student will spit out a wrong response, and so, he had his answer ready for him.
Jean rubs his chin thoughfully before speaking"Well,the main weakness of a shadow is that if there isn't enough lighting the shadow deteriorates. However, the main strength comes from how everything on this planet casts some sort of shadow and that can be used to its advantage."
"That's right. Basically the answer is 'light'. Light can act both as a strength and also a weakness to shadows depending on the way it is used." So far so good. Death was satisfied that his student had the knowledge of the basics. But to be sure that he understood everything, Death shot another question. "Can you explain in detail, how light affects our shadows?" Death was sure that his student can answer this question just as he answered the other ones.
Jean lefts his left hand to scratch the side of his head before he speaks,"Well for the starters,the more light there is,the stronger the shadows will be..." He grabs a stick and begins to draw a diagram of himself,his shadow and a light source."Not to mention the position of the light source is kind of important too. So for example,the sun during the morning or late evening the sun is lower in the sky so it hits me at a more oblique angle,extending my shadow." The Nara draws the light sorce higher up before he continues,"While at noon however the sun's at it's highest point so it's shining directly above me effectively shortening the shadow. Does that answer your question?"he inquires
"Impressive!" Training this kid seemed to be a piece of cake. "Tell me young one, how would you describe the strength of the shadow? What do you think is its strength and weakness (in terms of basic elements)?" Death asked another question. Though the kid was smart, Death knew he would make a mistake answering this. He waited to correct him none-the-less.
"It's strenghth would be that Earth Style structures could produce shadows where there are none available. Jean pauses to think "A weakness could be that the ground could be broken by other techniques and that would make it harder to capture the opponent,I think." he looks up at his teacher,for confirmation showing he was unsure with his answer.
