[attr="class","texty"]"That doesn't strengthen my opinion." She answered calm and plain not particularly caring about his thrills and more critical of the baggage he may bring into the job, so far his evaluation wasn't glowing. However the proximity of the man as he shifted close to her position made the Jounin's tail flick, an instinct she couldn't reliably hide as her eyes narrowed faintly as she shifted away deliberately preferring the chill of the night rather than heat that would excite her body into sweating and causing issues with stability and scent.
"You seem the type, keep your voice low." She answered brusquely even as he cut off his own question her ears angling slowly able to hear and focus on individuals in the crowd if he didn't speak too loud. The man's bravado silently poked at her while her gaze focused below until she heard a name form on his lips, the amusement behind them making her tail flick again. "Akane, whats your plan to be bait."

[attr="class","texty"]"I slept up there." She calmly responded to his statement about being sent to him, the information meant to distract from that line of thought without lying. She took note of his exposed eye having been taught to expect awkward physiology in the world and her own was proof of that, as of yet she hadn't met another with her feline traits. However his approach to general exercise made her wonder if her just meant to stay in shape rather than progress.
"I use instinct in a fight rather than style." She said before moving one of her hands forward and running chakra through her hand causing her nails to grow, sharpen, and harden into claws that could rend flesh and possibly bone. Admittedly she never quite got the hang of using tools so she preferred to specialize in a weapon that complimented her already developed skills. "If you know the Inuzuka I mainly emulate their method of attack."

[attr="class","texty"]colored speech As the voice cried out and the rope slid free from the creature's grasp, Junko's golden gaze locked onto the the bat and she shot off the wall as she heard and smelled the small explosion from the floor below her. Her arms wrapped around the bat before she hit the opposite wall sliding to the floor carefully covering the bat's mouth with her metal clad hand as she cooed softly to help calm it before she moved her hand from its mouth.
"I don't want to hurt you, where did he go?" She asked softly while calmly setting the bat free but ready to retaliate if it chose poorly. While interacting she would move over to pick up the scroll from the floor, stopping if the bat warned her but she made no hostile move towards it, quietly looking over the scroll or leaving it be if warned. Assuming the bat stayed she gave it her full attention having a stronger bond of kinship with animals than people as her ears and tail casually flick. "You don't have to stay here if you want to leave."
However if the bat chose to attack her after she had offered it solace she would be fine with tearing into it with her claws.

A crack splitting the sky, the flash of blue plasma splitting the earth like an axe flooding the terrain in blinding light. The art of manipulating the lightning given unto earth by the heavens, typically the wrath of the divine. Cleaving strength, repelling surges, bright flares, a number of uses and more to come. Raiton. Slowly becoming more adept and allowing the use of one handed seals.
Oh I understand that but its change in chakra nature to become elemental ninjutsu, thats why kirin is so powerful because its directing real lightning using minimal chakra rather than generating chakra lightning. The fire and earth would still be chakra to retain their power otherwise they're 'just' fire and earth once the chakra is gone, it wouldn't have the fuel to keep burning hot or retain its shape, like a snow ball falling apart.
I'll change it to choice of strength or speed enhancement, apologies on physical I didnt realize it functioned like that lol would it be able to have Grand Master get the one they didn't choose at Veteran?

Got rid of the tai slot, limited resonate, removed cleanse, limited master, removed defense from grand master, replaced it with a cloak ability given that the whole body is permeated with it.
Is the negation fine with the other parts being reigned in? I don't really feel like its too much

Aramitama
The Aramitama are a clan whose name was lost to time and are referred to by those who have seen them battle comparing them to evil souls searching for vengeance like a demon. In truth the origins of the clan's abilities trace back to the great shinobi wars and to a small village on the border of Fire and Thunder, after being ravaged by war for countless generations the clan fell back on a reviled practice, one forbidden and looked down upon by many within the clan but they had been pushed to the brink and finally they performed a ritual. One meant to call on the darkness and those dwelling within it drawing a vile presence into this world before binding it with a child to allow the devil to meld with the child as it grew melding their power with the child until they had grown into powerful warriors with the ability to shatter jutsu with jet-black weapons born of black and red energy.
Kekkei Genkai
Heritage The Aramitama Heritage is the ability to wield black chi which can repel and negate chakra.
Jet-Black Armory Requirements: Aramitama Heritage
While many have witnessed the black chi spreading over the wielders in varying degrees, every Aramitama warrior has been seen wielding weapons drawn from the energy whether they be slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning implements including both ranged weapons and more personal arms such as claws, gauntlets and greaves. Likewise there are as many reports of their arms cleaving chakra as there are reports of the weapons clashing against a shinobi's magic. Their true power drawing from the strength granted to their bodies by the devil within. The exception to this ability is the chakra of the Tailed Beasts, the density and nature of the vast reservoirs of raw chakra are unable to be negated by black chi.
While the use of the black chi takes little effort the negation of chakra does take its toll on the wielder requiring roughly half the chakra used to form the technique to negate it.
However due to the change to their chakra the user is unable to perform more delicate molding of chakra such as elemental, sealing, and medical techniques. They still retain the ability to use abilities such as Nintaijutsu and Shape Transformation. This proficiency unlocks at Apprentice level. Apprentice- An Aramitama's ability is the capability of negating chakra through wielding the black chi coursing within their body. At a small cost the user can form a melee weapon from the onyx energy and any chakra of a lower rank that comes into contact with the weapon is destroyed. Journeyman- As their affinity grows an Aramitama can begin to alter the nature of their black chi into more versatile forms; Choose one.
Magnify: The user is able to enhance the size of their weapon greatly extending it's reach. Resonate: Exposure to elemental chakra allows this augment to replicate and produce the last basic element that the wielder has been exposed to.
Veteran- At this stage in an Aramitama's development their black chi radiates through their body and will often show as their dominant arm becomes black and scaled like that of a devil giving their choice of Strength or Speed Enhancement (this does not stack with Physical Enhancement). For the sake of keeping a low profile they have learned to revert the appearance for aesthetics. They may also create a second melee weapon.
The user also gains the second trait for their black chi to take on from the Journeyman rank, however only one may be active at a time. Master- The warriors of the clan at this point have attained true mastery over their black chi and can wield their weapons by thought within a wide range of themselves, in addition they have adapted the ability to create ranged weapons and the wounds their weapons leave are more difficult to heal. Grandmaster- At the apex of an Aramitama's ability they commune with their devil and draw them forth embodying their traits becoming black clad fighters with jagged horns and wicked wings, as the black chi courses throughout their body the user becomes unable to be tracked by chakra-related methods. In addition they are capable of flight without expending chakra by forming their wings.

Magnify: The user is able to enhance the size of their weapon greatly extending it's reach. Resonate: Exposure to elemental chakra allows this augment to replicate and produce those the wielder has been exposed to. Cleanse: An understanding of both one's own chakra and the flow of the chi they produce allows them to nick themselves and dispel negative effects such as genjutsu and poison.
Veteran- At this stage in an Aramitama's development their black chi radiates through their body and will often show as their dominant arm becomes black and scaled like that of a devil giving them the Physical Enhancement Proficiency.

Grandmaster- At the apex of an Aramitama's ability they commune with their devil and draw them forth embodying their traits becoming black clad fighters with jagged horns and wicked wings, as the black chi courses around their body the user gains the ability to negate lower ranked chakra on contact providing them a great measure of defense.

[attr="class","texty"]At first glance into the wreckage her gold eyes narrowed and Junko didn't want to push the assault given the blood and ichor, most likely oil spread about a wooden structure, but as her ears caught the eeps of the bats she sighed and worked the charred wood along all of her exposed skin, this time less for her own stealth and more to dissuade the bats from biting something that would taste like ash.
"I'd rather not drag you into this fight, but if you insist on staying in my path, you will fall under claw." Junko spoke just loud enough to project her voice for the bats as she focused along the muscles of her body while they would pull taught against her frame and her hair would bristle before sharp gold eyes opened and her muscles would spring. Launching off the roof on [All-Fours] the neko would bolt across the ground like a bullet weaving between swarms and through the holes in the formations of the shinobi without any regard crossing the distance before leaping off the ground aiming for the hole in the building with an arm outstretched her metal clad arm took hold of the frayed ceiling using her momentum to fling her body to the side of the hole and using her claws to sink into the wall, staying off the floor as her eyes shot to the bell following the apparatus to whoever was ringing it while also keeping track of any bats that would've been here as well her vision adjusting in the dim.

[attr="class","texty"]"Does your personal life reflect so poorly that you assume such threats while in the village?" The cat asked brusquely, callous even as she stayed there as motionless as a figurehead upon a ship, her traits fierce down to the metal digits that reflected no light, which after he had flashed his headband he would find the woman had nothing on her that was reflective even the metallic designs in her fabric diffusing the light rather than letting it escape, darkness that didn't return the light.
"If you're offering to be bait I have no qualms with that." She answered with a slight shrug before she moved back to the tile and around him like a life caught on the wind and just as silent as she slipped back over the crest of the roof to slip back into the position she had taken laying her body flush against the roof again scanning the court before her gaze cut back listening to the man his steps his breath keeping his position in exact relation of her. "Don't instigate. The Tsuchikage doesn't appreciate entrapment."
[newclass=.nbox:hover]background-color:#ffd900;width:220px;text-align:right;font-size:14px;font-family:courier;color:#000;transition: linear .4s; text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:3px;[/newclass]
[attr="class","texty"]"I'm not bothered by it." She shrugged off the poke at her station not particularly caring about such things in passing, they only really mattered when orders needed to be given and this wasn't one of those times. The neko glanced at the ground silently inspecting a shadow for the time as her tail and ears flick slowly before her gold gaze met his once more.
"You're supposed to train right? what kind of training do you think will fit what you're aiming for?." The woman inquired as she leaned on one leg and used the other to nudge his leg away from his diagram trying to damage it as little as possible beyond what he tried to obscure. Meanwhile she quietly continued to exert her own into the earth around her feet, her ears focused on the sound of cracking when her nature flicked back to lightning making her reach vanish before she tried again. "I don't know much more about genjutsu than the idea of it, my work is more in... force and strikes."
[newclass=.nbox:hover]background-color:#ffd900;width:220px;text-align:right;font-size:14px;font-family:courier;color:#000;transition: linear .4s; text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:3px;[/newclass]
[attr="class","texty"]Once Kikuyo was over Junko was already posed crouched on a single point at the end of the pointed eve, her arms resting on her knees as her gaze studied him like a beast, or like a cat with a mouse, her presence more akin to a tiger while her claws rejected the light and reflected no light. "I'm in charge of guarding this event, do you have a particular reason for following me?"
Her tone authoritative and firm, like he didn't know her, she didn't know who he was but if he was just some civilian butting in she would let him go with a warning, if he was worse than she wasn't adverse to dealing with that problem. Granted if he wanted to push and act the bard he may find her interest sorely lacking in that avenue. "Given your reactions and your ability to follow me, you may have blown my cover if someone decided to follow you."
[newclass=.nbox:hover]background-color:#ffd900;width:220px;text-align:right;font-size:14px;font-family:courier;color:#000;transition: linear .4s; text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:3px;[/newclass]
[attr="class","texty"]"Not really, but you're 'older' than I am, being a shinobi is most of what I know and I've tailored my skills towards that." She admitted with a shrug never really having those kinds of thoughts, she questioned the validity of continuing to war among other villages when the empire stood at their doors. A quiet sigh left the mocha woman before her gold gaze passes over him once more.
"I would honestly say to figure out the direction which you can excel the most in, if that's illusion, pour yourself into it, if its healing buck up. People will be counting on you but you wont be forced into the vangard if your talent is genjutsu, you'll be where you can do the most with your abilities." She mused quietly regarding him carefully, her advice potentially callous but if he's more worried about not fulfilling his calling. "As for your question, I'd probably be more of a scout than an assassin."
[newclass=.nbox:hover]background-color:#ffd900;width:220px;text-align:right;font-size:14px;font-family:courier;color:#000;transition: linear .4s; text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:3px;[/newclass]
[attr="class","texty"]The Jounin saw her shot land spreading in a long forking path however the rider was able to react in time making the bat take the brunt of the blow. The others commanded by another landed their attacks it seemed as Junko caught the flashes of steel before the two started to careen downward finally crashing into a shrine. Her brow would furrow as she climbed the walls of the buildings reaching the roofs once more as she grabbed a few pieces of smoldering wood and used the soot to darken the brighter parts of her clothing and body as she dropped flat watching the rubble taking note of the swarm, the well, the others making their way to the locations as she stilled her breathing and concealed her presence her main focus on the rubble and where the bats were.
Taking time the neko focused on her breath as well trying to pick up on the scents in the area besides smoke trying to detect blood or more oil given her current quarry stuck in the rubble. Between the report of the Rhinos and the abilities displayed she wandered if these bats were summons of some kind rather than natural creatures, if they were it was her duty to free them from the man with control. Either way if that man came into view she would move as silently and quickly to close the gap and prepare an attack.
