::HITOMI::
::CHARACTER OVERVIEW::
FACE CLAIM: Ayame [Tenchu series]
AGE: 21
GENDER: Female
DATE OF BIRTH: January 1st
RANK: Jounin (Black Ops)
VILLAGE: Kumogakure
::CHARACTER APPEAREANCE::
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Hitomi is short. There is no other way to describe it. On a good day she'll stand at about 5'4" tall, with an upright posture and a confident stance. On not so good days, the upright posture slacks a little bit, but the unspoken confidence in her movements remains. Very few people have managed to catch her "off guard" either literally or in a social situation where the confidence in her stance evaporates (Masayuki seems to make a habit of it whenever possible).
Her physical build makes it obvious that she is not a particularly strong, physically at least. Her arms and torso are fairly well-toned but slim, with a slightly above-average bust a narrow waist and proportionate hips, giving her a nice hourglass figure. A glance at her long and shapely, but muscular legs likewise makes it obvious that her strength is her speed. Nobody in Hitomi's year has ever managed to beat her in a race, or match her reaction times.
From the overall muscle tone of her body, it is obvious that Hitomi is 1) a ninja and 2) a fully-developed woman. While she does not particularly dress or move in a manner that would attract attention to herself, there is no doubt that Hitomi could if she really wanted to. Hitomi spends little time worry about her appearance. She doesn't spend any time stylizing her hair, and even less time on thiings like skin products and absolutely no time on make-up at all.
It is somewhat obvious that her skin and hair are obviously only maintained to an acceptable standard. Because of this, her black hair seems rather "dull" and lacking luster. As well it is usually just pulled back into a loose pony-tail that keeps it together and out of the way. Her bangs frame her face, not hanging in her eyes, on any side. Her eyes are as black as her hair, and seem to have an almost "hollow" feel to them--an indicator of her past experiences.
CLOTHING DESCRIPTION:
While Hitomi's exact clothing can vary from day to day and mission to mission, what appears to be her favorite outfit is plain short, sleeveless top and a set of leggings that are slit up the side and belted at the waist, exposing much of Hitomi's upper thighs. Though the amount of upper leg that's exposed might be considered a bit risque, all the esentials are covered. A set of armwarmers with the typical ninja-style fingerless gloves and a set of wrappings and tabi (stockings) with plain, unadorned sandals finish out the outfit. Almost all of it is in a grayish-black.
In the event of having to dress for formal events, which Hitomi despises with a passion, she tends to wear a surprisingly conservative and traditional style yukata in simple colors and designs, usually blues or greens. Even during such formal occasions, Hitomi wears at least a plain black bodysuit underneath so that if she has to move more quickly than the clothes allow, she can simply discard them wrather than wreck them.
When she is fully equipped, her dual tanto, the Hasakishiro and the Hasakikuro are held at the back of her waist, where they can be drawn quickly without changing her profile. She wears her shuriken holster on her left thigh, and her hitai-ate rests on the outside of the shuriken holster so that the two match up. Hitomi wears nothing in the way of jewelry or other items like that, preferring to wear simple and effective clothing without frills or adornments.

- 12? - Genin studentPERSONALITY:
Hitomi is cold, efficient, and considered by many to be a model shinobi. She knows what her duties are and completes them as quickly and effectively as possible. She is focused and confident, both traits backed up by years of experience and successful missions. Hitomi has very little patience for procrastination and laziness, and prefers to work alone whenever possible.
She appears to have no sense of humor, though occasionally she can produce commentary with a dry, sharp, and caustic wit. Like with procrastination, Hitomi has very little patience with pranksters and clowning around. Serious to a fault, she is highly disciplined and keeps her emotions to herself.
Anybody who claims that they could know her well (a claim currently only held by her teammate and friend Masayuki), knows that her serious and rather callous personality is a result of her past experiences. When she was a child, Hitomi was a cheerful kid, if prone to crying and tantrums. However, the Third Great Shinobi War left her as the only survivor of her family, and her personality changed. She became quiet and withdrawn, and the kind of person that never tells others what they are really feeling.
Though she may seem like an emotionless robot to many that have had to work with or under her, she still feels all the same emotions as everyone else. Hitomi simply refuses to let them show, particularly envy. She has never been able to admit it, but anytime she sees a family living happily and smiling, Hitomi is incredibly jealous. She can't help but think that her family could have been like that, had the war not killed them all. The envy makes her sick to her stomach, and she does everything in her power to make sure that she cannot dwell on such matters, even having gone so far as to discard her family name and bury herself in training to keep her mind and body occupied.
Recently though, Hitomi has been trying to change her outwardly indifferent attitude, at the request of her superiors and, more importantly, Masayuki. However her attempts to "open up" with others have been largely unsuccessful. If the attempt is not openly insulting, it often ends up making no sense at all. Hitomi would never admit it, but a large part of her social awkwardness is because she's afraid of any kind of intimacy. It's nowhere as obvious as with her old teammate (and crush) Nakamura Masayuki. Several times Hitomi has had the opportunity to take their relationship beyond that of just friends, but she can't bring herself to do it. She knows what it's like to lose everything and she's not sure if she can do it again.
Despite her difficulty in expression, Hitomi is fully capable of functioning socially, though her coolness may often rub people the wrong way. She doesn't get angry easily, but when she does, it's a calm, controlled anger, and not a blind fury. Because of the nature of her kekkei genkai, Hitomi believes very strongly in fortune-telling and prophecy, more than one would expect from such a cynical and realistic ninja.
HISTORY:
It was a cold and crystal clear morning when Hayabusa Hitomi was brought into the world. As the 5th child of the Hayabusa family, and their second daughter, it was largely assumed that she would follow what had been family tradition for generations and join the ninja academy and then graduate to join Kumogakure's main forces. The young Hitomi showed little desire to do anything beyond be a kid and run around all day. Her parents were largely unconcerned about their daughter's seeming lack of interest. After all, the girl was only three years old.
The family's peaceful and happy days would soon be few and far between. The erruption of the Third Great Shinobi War, required Kumogakure to make use of all the ninja at its disposal. The Hayabusa family members were sent on many missions, and not all of them made it back alive, and some of them never made it back. Her older brother Masashi was the first to be killed, and with the young Hitomi still reeling at the loss of her brother, her father Motoi, her uncle Masuda, and her eldest brother Shirou were also all killed. The bodies of Masuda and Shirou were never found, but eyewitness accounts indicated that there weren't bodies to recover anyways.
Despite the Hayabusa's family's losses, the war wasn't over yet. Hitomi's mother Yuki and aunt Junya were both killed in action mere weeks after the death of her father, leaving her only sister Koichi to look over a nearly 5-year-old Hitomi, and their youngest brother Yuzo, still an academy student. Their cousin, the daughter of Junya and Masuda went missing deep in enemy territory afterwards, and when her battered hitai-ate was found later in a neighboring area cut in half and stained with blood, she was also listed as KIA.
Koichi did her best to keep her two siblings safe, and try to keep things as positive as possible. Despite the difficulties of the war, she planned and set up a birthday party for Hitomi's 5th birthday. Despite her best attempts, the only people that Koichi could gather for her little sister's party were herself and their little brother Yuzo. Determined to continue with the celebration anyways, the three settled down and tried to let the happy occasion affect them.
It turned to tragedy. That day was the day of an attack on the village itself by Iwagakure, and in all the fighting, the Hayabusa's house was collateral damage. Hitomi only survived because her sister Koichi shielded her body with her own. Unable to move anywhere, Hitomi could do nothing else but lay there and cry. After the fighting was done and the Kumogakure ninja had pulled Hitomi out of the ruins, she was deathly silent. Hitomi had run out of tears.
With all of her family now ripped away from her, Hitomi was left with absolutely nothing. The event was traumatic on the young girl and it seemed that all her youthful energy was ripped away. Another family took her in, until they noticed that she uncannily seemed to predict whenever something bad would happen to the family that had taken her. Nervous and scared, the family distanced itself from the young Hitomi, who decided to erase her family name, Hayabusa. After all, she had no family left. In her mind the Hayabusa were destroyed utterly and the name itself would just draw back unwanted memories and visions.
Soon enough the village was repaired and Hitomi was moved back into her family's old home. She quickly abandoned it, and instead preferred to sleep outside, in places where she could not see the rebuilt house. Knowing that she needed some way to keep from starving to death, she enrolled in the village's ninja academy, lying about her age so that they would accept her a mere 3 months earlier. She devoted all of her time to training, and her intensity, as well as her continuing predictions of things that would happen to her classmates, made her isolated and even more withdrawn.
The constant effort and focus on her training paid off. She graduated early, completing the academy training in just 4 years, just a few months after her 9th birthday. The teachers and jounin seeing her obvious talent assigned her into a cell with other students that had graduated early. One of the cell's fresh genin as well as the sensei were a bit nervous around the deathly serious girl, but the final teammate a 10-year-old boy named Masayuki reached out to the 9-year-old Hitomi.
As their training progressed, the two developed an obvious trust for each other, a trust that nobody quite seemed to extend fully to Hitomi due to how scarily grim she seemed. Still with no home of her own, she spent most of her nights with Masayuki's family, though she could never bring herself to be in a room when all of them were present. Masayuki asked her what was wrong, and Hitomi immediately clammed up, though eventually her teammate was able to pry an answer from her.
When he understood what she had been going through, he spent a few more months convincing her to face her fears and move back into her old house. Hitomi was incredibly reluctant, but eventually did move back. She was surprised by how dusty the place had gotten, and then realized that nobody had been in the house in years. Very few things had survived the collapse, but what had, some of the village ninja had placed in a box on the table.
Curious and with nothing else to do in the old home, she opened it to find a scroll, written in what she knew was her grandfather's handwriting. Even more curious she read the scroll, a guide to the Hayabusa family's Issekigan. Finally Hitomi was able to make sense of why she was able to predict some things that would happen. She began to study the scroll intently, and often Masayuki would have to find her and drag her to her cell's missions and training.
By the time she had reached 12, her cell had made it to their third chunin exams, the cell having failed the first two because Hitomi was caught up in studying her Issekigan, and training to master it's techniques. Confident that she could use her kekkei genkai to pass all the tests easily, she settled in and utterly aced the first segment focused as it was on gathering information. The candidates had been allowed 1 hour, and Hitomi was done in the first 15 minutes.
The second exam was a hybrid between an obstacle and survival course, and king of the hill. Not only did the teams have to worry about surviving the various animals traps, and teams on the way to the end destination, but only those teams within the designated area when the time for the exam ran out would be allowed to continue onwards. Hitomi quickly learned that her Issekigan was much less effective in combat that she had expected, and to her chagrin much of the work in the cell was done by Masayuki and their other teammate.
Only four teams made it through, enough to discount the need for a preliminary tournament before the exam's final stage. Hitomi realized she couldn't rely only on the Issekigan because of the amount of chakra it consumed as well as how ineffective it was in the middle of a frenzied fight. She would need something else. Hitomi immediately returned and dug out another box that she had basically ignored since she had found the scroll left by her grandfather. Hitomi hoped that it would contain some kind of helpful advice, perhaps a scroll of jutsu, but when she opened it, all she found were a pair of tanto, one pure white and the other pure black. She'd been hoping for another jutsu of some kind and she very nearly closed the box when she took a second look at it.
There was a note as well, Hitomi picked it up and read it, and this time it was in her father's handwriting. "They are special. Use them well." The note continued on the back explaining how her father had found the two blades, the white one named Hasakishiro and the black one Hasakikuro. The explanation of what the two blades could accomplish was vague, at best, but Hitomi had already resolved how she was going to spend her month of training.
She returned to her sensei, with the dual tanto in hand, since he fought with a similar style. Seeing the determination in the girl's eyes, he agreed. The next month was full of Hitomi training to increase her taijutsu and weapon skills, most specifically her speed, precision, and stealth. Even though she learned no new techniques during her month, anytime that Hitomi didn't spend sleeping was spent training.
Unfortunately, Hitomi's eager training came at a cost. Only two days before the tournament was scheduled to happen, Hitomi overextended herself and ended up severely spraining her ankle, as well as tearing several ligaments in her leg. She was disqualified because of her injuries, though she still came to watch. Neither of her teammates passed, though she realized that Masayuki had been holding back the entire time, and had ended up losing the chance to become a chunin in the process.
When she cornered him and asked him about it afterwards he simply smiled and explained that they were teammates, and that it meant they would stick together, no matter what. Hitomi felt happier than she had in years, enough that she was utterly incapable of responding, only managing a few choked splutters, before composing herself and turning around with a cool "whatever" thrown behind her. Masayuki understood she hadn't been angry, though now that he'd managed to get under her skin, he made a point of trying to do it whenever possible.
Their team re-enrolled in the chunin exams 6 months later, Hitomi only a couple of months away from turning 13. Now completely ready for the exams, her cell made short work of the first and second exams, and all three members of the cell progressed to the finals. The third section of the exam pitted Masayuki and Hitomi against each other in the finals. Neither of the two teammates were able to manage to gain the upper hand against the other, and they eventually decided to call the match a draw. A few short days later, it was announced that their entire cell had been promoted to chunin. Few were surprised when Hitomi didn't spend any time celebrating her promotion, instead moving directly back to her training.
The cell soon became noteworthy for their high success ratio, or more particularly, Masayuki and Hitomi did. The spring after her 16th birthday, Hitomi and Masayuki were informed that the two were on the list of potential jounin candidates. The two worked hard, and just like they had agreed to after the chunin exams were promoted as a team. Their third teammate lacked the same level of skill, and instead became an academy teacher, still at the rank of chunin. Their sensei was given another genin cell, leaving Masayuki and Hitomi as a team of two. Despite lacking a full cell of four, the two still maintained a high successs rate with their missions, prompting the Black Ops to recruit the two only a year and a half after their promotion to jounin.
The two continued years of successful missions, though many times the two were placed on different missions and teams. Despite the increasing distance between the two, they remained close friends, though Masayuki managed to continue to make her feel like she was off-balance whenever they'd spend free time together. A call went out through all the ranks of jounin after Hitomi's 21st birthday. Kumogakure needed more jounin sensei than they had, and applications had been sent to each jounin's residence. Hitomi had been distracted by other thoughts and during a morning where she wasn't fully awake she filled out the application for the position of jounin sensei.
By the time she realized what had happened, her application had already been processed and accepted and a group of three genin from the recent graduating class had been assigned to her. Irritated with herself, and highly irritated with Masayuki for teasing her about it, Hitomi had little else to do except wait for the academy graduation where she could test the cell out and see if they were worth the headache they were already causing her...
::JUTSU AND WEAPONS::
WEAPONS:
Name: Hasakishiro and Hasakikuro (dual tanto)
Weight: Each tanto is about 3 lbs (including sheaths)
Length: The blade length is roughly 12 inches, with the hilt about 4 inches. Both blades are identical in proportions.
Materials: Both blades were forged out of metal from a fallen meteorite that has never dulled or broken. The hilts and sheaths are made out of laquered wood, one white (the Hasakishiro) and the other black (the Hasakikuro).
Characters: Hitomi
Description: The Hasakishiro and Hasakikuro are a pair of tanto designed to be used together. While they are not quite as effective at channeling chakra like a chakra-conductive metal is, they do possess some special effects if the wielders' chakra is channeled through them. The Hasakishiro is capable of blocking chakra, though it can only "block" an area equal to the length of the blade (for example, it can stop the chakra from a Hien technique as if the chakra were a physical blade). The Hasakikuro is capable of cutting chakra, though again, it can only affect an area the same size as the blade (for example, severing the chakra threads made by a puppet user). The exact history of the dual tanto are unknown, but they are currently in the Kumo ninja Hitomi's possession.
~ Caltrops
~ Explosive tags
~ Blank tags (used as decoys and for her Ganriki no Jutsu)
~ Steel wires
~ Scrolls (both blank and not)
~ Shuriken (but no kunai)
KEKKAI GENKAI / CLAN JUTSU:
Kekkei Genkai Name: Issekigan [Discerning Eye]
Kekkei Genkai Style: Tactical augmentation (when activated)
Kekkei Genkai Characteristics: When activated, the irises of the eye turn a metallic silver color and become slightly iridescent. There are no other indicators of the Issekigan's use beyond the change in eye color.
Kekkei Genkai Description: Through expenditure of the bearer's chakra, the Issekigan can see the past, present, or future. The concept is similar in theory to throwing a rock in a pond and observing the ripples. This is what the three jutsu of the Issekigan accomplish. After an event occurs (the rock hits the pond), the "waves" it makes are still visible even after the rock has sunk from the surface, allowing the user to see events that have already past. The Insight Technique allows the user to "step back" to watch from another angle as an event occurs (can see an event from another angle than right "next" to the rock as it hits the water). The final and most powerful, if limited of the three techniques is the ability to predict how an event will unfold (seeing where the rock will hit and calculating where the ripples will go from there). All of the Issekigan's jutsu consume a significant amount of chakra, and most are not very effective in a fast-paced combat situation.
Kekkei Genkai Jutsu:
Name: Foresight Technique [Senken no Jutsu]
Rank: A-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A
Characters: Hitomi
Description: Without the useage of handsigns, Senken no Jutsu allows the user's Issekigan to see "the future." This requires a moment where the user cannot fully focus on the present, causing a gap in their defenses. The user watches the future in "fast forward" (about 10 times normal speed) though they are able to recall every detail of the vision perfectly. Senken tends to become highly unreliable over long periods of time, and the "future" is subjective, always in motion, and susceptible to unexpected changes. Even a momentary release of this technique (to see the next 5-10 seconds) costs a sizeable portion of chakra, and the longer Senken no Jutsu is used, the more chakra is expended meaning the technique is most effective in short, swift bursts. If a bearer of the Issekigan would be killed, Senken no Jutsu automatically activates a few moments before it happens, though whether the bearer has the strength (or the chakra left after this technique's forcefully activates itself) to avoid it is another matter entirely.
Name: Insight Technique [Ganriki no Jutsu]
Rank: A-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A
Characters: Hitomi
Description: By closing their eyes and focusing, the user of Ganriki no Jutsu can view their current surroundings...from a different vantage point. By creating a "ghost" of chakra, the user can view the surroundings as they are, making the technique ideal for assessing a trap or a genjutsu. The "ghost" is limited to a range of about 10m from the user, making it highly inefficient for recon. The technique's range can be "extended," if the proper materials are used. The user writes out a special seal on a tag, and any person, or object, that is bearing the tag can be the target of Ganriki no Jutsu. The user retains full control over their body, but moving or fighting when viewing through the "ghost" can be disorienting and clumsy.
Name: Hindsight Technique [Kekkaron no Jutsu]
Rank: A-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A
Characters: Hitomi
Description: Similar in range, materials, and effect to the Ganriki no Jutsu, the Kekkaron no Jutsu allows the user to create a "ghost" of chakra that views the past events around a person or place. The materials, preparation, and chakra dedicated to the task vary depending on the time being viewed. With no materials and a minimal amount of chakra (which is still fairly significant) the user can see up to the past 5 minutes. With the use of a tag (like the ones used to exend the Ganriki no Jutsu's range) the user can see up to an hour earlier. With special materials, the application of multiple seals, and a very large amount of expended chakra, the user can see what happened up to one week earlier. Times past one week are impossible to view with this technique. This technique has little to no practical combat value beyond allowing the user another view of techniques for analysis or to "witness" events that have already happened. The user is completely vulnerable when viewing the past and cannot move on their own or interact with their environment.
CHAKRA NATURE
JUTSU:
~ Shadowing Stealth Technique [Bikou Ninjutsu] :: Bikou Ninjutsu is the technique ninjas use to follow their targets covertly. The manner in which the ninja shadows their target can differ, from the basic hiding under a nearby object, to using a jutsu to turn oneself invisible.
~ Clone Skill [Bunshin no Jutsu] :: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance. The copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent. As soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.
~ Transformation Technique [Henge no Jutsu] :: Henge no Jutsu is a ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. Henge allows the ninja to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents.
~ Art of Substitution [Kawarimi no Jutsu] :: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themself with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack.
~ Release [Kai] :: Kai is a Ninjutsu technique which allows the ninja to avoid the effects of a Genjutsu illusion. After forming the needed handseals, the Genjutsu technique will not affect the ninja. The ninja can also use the technique on another individual who was unable to avoid the attack. After forming the needed hand seals, the ninja touches the one affected to end the affect of the spell.
~ Muon Satsuji no Jutsu [Silent Homicide Technique] :: Muon Satsujin Jutsu, the ability to commit a silent homicide, is a technique to dispatch your foe with no warning. Your quick speed and skills will instantly kill them before they can provide a defense.
~ False Place Technique [Kokohi no Jutsu] :: Kokohi no Jutsu is a simple Genjutsu technique which changes the appearance of a nearby object.
~ Sly Mind Affect Technique [Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu] :: Kori Shinchuu no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique which causes the target to travel around in circles. If the ninja is unable to detect the illusion very quickly, they can become exhausted mentally and physically when they are unable to reach their desired target by traveling along the same path over and over.
~ Demonic Illusion - Hell Viewing Technique [Magen - Narakumi no Jutsu] :: Magen • Narakumi no Jutsu is a Genjutsu technique that causes its target to see a horrifying vision. The ninja will use the serpent hand seal to cause a circle of leaves to spin and envelop the target and then fall away. Once cast the world will appear normal to the target until they see the illusion.
~ Temporary Body Paralysis Technique [Kanashibari no Jutsu] :: Kanashibari no Jutsu is an advanced Ninjutsu technique used to temporarily bind an individual or animal. With the person frozen in place, the ninja can either take the opportunity to attack or to retreat.
~ Body Flicker Technique [Shunshin no Jutsu] :: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
Name: Kagami Shuriken no Jutsu [Mirror Shuriken Technique]
Rank: C-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A
Characters: Hitomi
Description: By careful and precise manipulation, the user is able to track the angles of incoming shuriken or other thrown projectiles, catch them, and send them at the same return location. This technique is only truly effective if the user has an incredible reaction time, or is somehow able to predetermine the incoming attacks.
Name: Kagesochi no Jutsu [Shadow Step Technique]
Rank: C-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: None
Characters: Hitomi
Description: A variation and improvement upon the Body Flicker Technique, Kagesochi no Jutsu is a technique developed and perfected by Hitomi. The speed is improved over a that of a typical Body Flicker to the point where the user leaves behind an optical illusion for a few seconds before the visual trick disappears. Hitomi can increase the speed used in the technique to produce up to a total of five optical "clones." The technique can be useful in creating confusion when an attack passes through harmlessly and then the user attacks from that same spot moments later by returning to the same space.
Name: Farukon Droppu [Falcon Drop]
Rank: C-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A (Taijutsu)
Characters: Hitomi
Description: The user jumps up into the air, flips, and then Body Flicker's to their target, adding the combined momentum of the flip, gravity, and the flicker into one highly damaging heel drop.
Name: Farukon Bure-do [Falcon Blade]
Rank: B-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: N/A (Taijutsu)
Characters: Hitomi
Description: With an initial set up exactly like the Falcon Drop, the user adds in a twist in mid-air, and then flickers down with an edged weapon drawn behind the opponent. The use of the technique causes deep wounds to be inflicted upon the opponent and has no real way to minimize the lethal nature of the attack, since it targets the enemy's spine.
Name: Kumogakure no Jutsu [Hiding in Clouds Technique]
Rank: D-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: None
Characters: Hitomi
Description: The Hiding in Clouds Technique is started with a simple hand-sign. The user appears to "fade out," but does not become completely invisible. Under adverse conditions (night-time, smoke, heavy fog, etc.) the user is nearly impossible to see. The technique also "dampens" any sounds and movements made by the user, making them virtually silent. Attacking the opponent dispels the technique.
Jutsu Name: Hibana Hougeki no Jutsu [Spark Bombardment Technique]
Rank: D-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: Lightning
Characters: Hitomi
Description: The user throws a small handful of items (often caltrops or small pebbles) after infusing them with lightning-based chakra. When detonated manually or striking another surface, the mini "bombs" explode, creating a burst of electrical energy that causes minor damage. The brightness of the Hibana "bombs" are capable of blinding a target who was unable to shield their eyes. Any item(s) used to be a Hibana "bomb" is consumed in the burst.
Name: Raikou Shindou no Jutsu [Lightning Impact Technique]
Rank: B-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: Lightning
Characters: Hitomi
Description: Hitomi concentrates lightning into a portion of her body, often her heel or her fist. Upon impact with an opponent, the lightning is released, causing damage and stunning the opponent. The lightning dissipates along whatever surface it was discharged on, meaning even an impact that misses by several meters can still affect the selected target (as long as they are on the same surface the lightning is discharged through. The surface hit by the impact determines how far the lightning disperses in its effective range (for example metal or water would greatly extend the impact's dispersion, while materials like wood would hinder it).
Name: Ikazuchinami [Thunder Wave]
Rank: B-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: Lightning
Characters: Hitomi
Description: By focusing a current of electricity along her skin, Hitomi is able to temporarily stun and paralyze any enemy in contact with her. The technique causes minimal damage in order to protect the user's body, but is highly effective in stunning opponents in contact with the user's body. Conductive materials, such as metal or water, can increase the damage dealt by the technique, as well as extending its effective range.
Name: Densen no Jutsu [Electric Wire Technique]
Rank: B-Rank
Village: Kumogakure
Element: Lightning
Characters: Hitomi
Description: The user throws shuriken or other weapons infused with lightning-based chakra. The thrown weapons can inflict a little extra damage if they hit the target. In actuality, the shuriken are not the attack itself, but act merely as a "conduit" to aim a much larger and more damaging bolt of lightning. The lightning will automatically seek out it's designated target, arcing between the shuriken towards its target, meaning the technique can effectively shoot around corners, as long as the charged shuriken are in place. Any charged shuriken thrown loses the charge after about 30 seconds and becomes useless for this technique unless recharged and thrown again.

Hitomi tossed from side to side restlessly in her bed. She woke up in a cold sweat and jolted upright, her breathing deep and heavy. She idly noted that her breath was coming out as little clouds. She stood up and looked out the window she had left open earlier. The stars above shimmered and revealed the snow that covered the ground. Winter was beautiful, but dead.
With a sigh, she softly closed the window and tried to return to bed. She sat down on the edge, but her dream had left adrenaline rushing through her body and Hitomi was now fully awake. Unable to return to sleep she began to pace through her house, trying to put her mind at ease.
The dream had been vivid, but unlike most, Hitomi was having trouble recalling it. All she could remember was seeing a slightly older version of herself, standing near three shorter (as unlikely as that was) figures, whose features she couldn't make out. The dream had also had some person with a red and black robe and the Hachibi's host, plus...one other.
Hitomi shook her head as she reached her kitchen and poured herself a glass of water. It would make sense eventually. They all have before. No point in forcing it... She finished her glass of water and sighed. It was an hour, maybe two, before daybreak, and Hitomi rubbed a hand through her hair and looked over at her table, at a small stack of paperwork.
"Meh. Paperwork." She pulled up a chair and grabbed the first document off the stack. Grabbing a pen set in the table's centerpiece, she began to pull documents out of the stack and fill them out mindlessly. "It's something to do since, I can't fall asleep." Even as she mindlessly filled out mission reports, an bill, and an application to be a jounin sensei, she had her mind elsewhere, trying to puzzle out the strange dream.
It seemed like before she was aware of it, the sun had begun to rise and she heard a soft knock at the door. That's a benefit of being in the Black Ops, she mused, as she picked up the stack of now completed paperwork. Free and reliable courier service. She walked to the door and opened it, holding out the sheaf of papers.
From the courier's awkward silence and blush, Hitomi realized that she was still largely undressed, though nothing was actually exposed. "You must not be fully awake yet, Hitomi-san." The courier averted his eyes and quickly paged through the documents to see where they needed to be put.
He looked up at her and nodded. "It's good of you to apply to be a jounin sensei, Hitomi-san. So few volunteer for that duty nowadays. I'm...sure you'll be a great teacher for the genin." Hitomi nodded listlessly and the courier turned to depart. She recognized the fact that she wasn't fully awake yet. When she had dreams, it took her a bit until she began working at 100%.
She turned inside and closed the door, then moving to her closet and dressing herself. She had a mission today. Her mission schedule had been tight for a while. She'd never had as many missions as close together when she had been a genin. Hitomi stopped and stood up. Genin...what had the courier said? Something...about Hitomi being a jounin sensei...and then--
"Wait, what?"
Bonus Side Note; All of Hitomi's family are named after Japanese composers! I'm such a nerd!
