```Ninjutsu range now```

*It hadn't been too long since Kanemoto Sumiye found out that she was capable of more than just Earth and Lightning Release. Through studies and asking questions to superiors and/or more experienced Shinobi in general, the girl found out that these exact two elements were the reason for her... Mutation. A combination element was created, and Explosion Release was born!

But since she realized that training this element was going to be difficult, she hoped to at least learn a few techniques revolving around it. Explosion Release techniques were - obviously - destructive, so she refused to seek a partner to test them out on. It'd be great to find more users of this element, though she'd survive without them.

Sumiye thus arrived at the Ninjutsu range, not looking around much as she simply went for the nearest, open spot. An orange, extremely fancy dress, a forehead protector... And that was about it. No weapons, nor any other obvious equipment that would be unique to her. Sumiye was one to always appear with the finest of attires if possible, and today was no exception. So, she stood there, heels touching each other as she clapped her hands, eyes closed. Focusing on the Chakra... She just tried to find out a thing or two about this strange element.*

On the way to the Ninjutsu range, Ayaka was admittedly looking for a victim for some of her Clan's Hiden jutsu. It was a tough task to train her hiden since it so heavily relied on someone else to be bound and most people didn't like that! But maybe someone at the range wouldn't mind.

Once she arrived one figure out of the few that were there stood out to her. A young girl dressed in probably the fanciest get up she had ever seen. Even Iyana's style didnt match up to the grandeur of this. Ayaka felt a bit desheveled in comparison. Her tabard was looking alright but it was mainly covered by her large Jacket, Nara Symbol emblazoned on it for good measure. Still out of curiosity more than anything she took a spot near the well dressed girl to observe her and what she could do. Judging a book by it's cover was never a good thing so Ayaka was very keen just to see this book's contents.

*If Ayaka would say her thoughts out loud and compliment this girl's sense in fashion directly, she might be able to get a pleasant view. Anyone who complimented her dresses received a ton of thanks and a warm, grateful smile. It was true, she probably was the Shinobi with the fanciest dresses around. Hell, even among civilians she was definitely wearing top-tier outfits, as if wearing anything less would be highly inappropriate.

But she wasn't here to talk about that, nor was the Nara. As she stood next to her, the Kanemoto noticed some movement to her side, and looked at its source. Noticing not just a comrade, but also an Officer of the Military Police, she immediately smiled politely and gave Ayaka a bow.* "Good afternoon to you, Officer." *So very friendly...

Her hands then began weaving some seals, slowly so... As if she didn't memorize the jutsu's necessary signs yet. Before she was ready, she talked again, noticing how she was being observed.* "How may I help you?" *She asked, looking at Ayaka momentarily, before shooting out a small pebble out of her mouth. This pebble formed into a fist-sized rock, but... That was about it. It obviously was aimed at a dummy, away from Ayaka. Damn it, this didn't work...*

"Oh hello." The Nara greeted, not expecting to be noticed or even greeted, her expression a mild surprised but still carrying a polite smile. "Oh nothing in particular, you're not in any trouble don't worry." She said laughing slightly nervously. Despite joining the Military police a few weeks ago this was the first time she was addressed so formally as officer. There was a sense of pride to be felt in those words, a sense she wasn't too used to yet. It'd take time to get used to it for her. Despite her best efforts to look polite, her body language showed she was a bit nervous, slightly hunched with her hands in her pockets.

Seeing the girl then shoot out a rock gun technique, Ayaka's curiosity grew. "I'm mainly here to see if anyone needs a hand with their training. Back when I was a genin I found any help from someone slightly more experienced helped tremendously." She explained, taking a hand out of her pocket to be slightly more expressive in her speech. "And I'd be reminisce to say you caught my eye. You have a killer sense of style." Laughing lightly she turned away for a moment. "I don't mean this with any malice but I never imagined seeing anyone train in such formal attire. Heels of all things. But sure enough you're here whipping out jutsu no problem. What jutsu exactly are you trying to learn?"

*The nervous behaviour was visible to Sumiye, though it had her more worried than amused. A Chunin, worried around her? This definitely wasn't because of her, right? Why would somebody like her be nervous around somebody like Sumiye, an innocent and friendly Genin?* "Oh, that is good to know!" *She said about the comment of not being in trouble, joking around a bit as she even slightly giggled - hand covering her mouth to not appear rude.

The jutsu had failed, though Ayaka had begun talking and... Complimented her attire. Immediately did she catch her attention again, making the Kanemoto fully face her before she began smiling. A big, happy smile, now giving her another bow, but a slightly different one.* "Thank you so much! It always is a joy to hear such words. I am more than happy to hear that you like it so much, Officer." *Sumiye had her hands on top of each other right in front of her. When it came to manners, she was definitely at the top. Maybe over the top even, but that didn't matter.*

"I came here to train two techniques today. The Earth Release: Rock Gun technique, and the Lightning Release: Thunderbolt technique. Would you." *No Explosion Release after all, so Ayaka wouldn't be able to witness that today. She had realized that learning that sort of jutsu would take... A bit more than expected. She'd definitely require help.*
Belva
Ayaka was rather surprised with the big smile and gratitude. Not so much that her expression changed but enough to know the girl truly appreciated her words. Truth be told Ayaka was slightly intimidated by the genin. She rarely had met anyone with such confidence in their fashion sense and even feeling a bit more confident in herself lately, seeing someone like that made her that little bit nervous in herself. It probably didnt help that the girl was as polite as a city official too. It seemed almost unnerving though it was through no fault of her own. 

Once she had finished thanking her, Ayaka took a single hand out of her pocket. Waving it airly in front of herself she gave a more relaxed smile. "Nara Ayaka. It's nice to meet you." Hoping that the whole officer business would end with an introduction she went on to ask what jutsu the girl was learning. 

"Oh I see. I was correct in my assumption then." She said looking over at the debris of the rock beside the dummy. "But not the thunderbolt one anyway. I can help you with rock gun if you'd like. I can also try to help with the lightning release technique but no promises on it's success." Taking the other hand out of her pocket, Ayaka did a few light stretches, her shaggy black hair bobbing up and down as she did. 

"Let's see you do the rock gun again. It's important to get the hand seals right before anything else. After that the chakra kneading." Now sounding very matter of fact, the girl quickly pulled out a notebook from her jacket ready to begin the tutoring.

*It wasn't rare that Sumiye appeared as a very confident girl, to the point of even making superiors unsure - she can remember some Chunin who tried to loosen up the situation by making her talk in a more friend-level manner. But she always remained polite anyway. Ayaka, well... She introduced herself, and Sumiye immediately picked up the hint.*

"Kanemoto Sumiye. The pleasure is all mine, Nara-sama." *Now, whether this was better than calling her 'Officer' was a different story. Ayaka would have to specify what she wanted to hear, as Sumiye usually had no problems changing that sorta thing. Although she personally did prefer staying respectful.

Upon being offered help, her smile shifted to something... Slightly less formal and more... Warm? It's hard to tell, but it looked like she was - again - really grateful.* "Your aid is greatly appreciated!" *And then, she received some advice.

Going for what she was told, she performed the seals again. This time quicker and much cleaner. The kneading took a bit of time, but as she shot out a pebble, it grew and grew... Soon enough forming into a big boulder! Big enough to damage the dummy quite a bit, as it was all dented up now.* "It worked! Hmm... I assume the same advice can be applied to Lightning Release - or any other jutsu?" *The Genin asked, then turned to face Ayaka again, noticing the small book. But not commenting on it.*
Belva
"Haha, Nara Sama could mean anyone from my father to the Grand Major. Use my first name in whatever way makes you most comfortable." With a slight tilt in her head her smile grew glad the whole officer thing was laid to rest. It seemed the girl was very sharp to pick up the hint right away but then again the introduction was very on the nose. At the same time it felt right to introduce themselves. Ayaka could tell they'd become fast friends. 

With that out of the way it was onto the technique. Even with the most basic of instruction Sumiye mastered the technique almost instantly, leaving Ayaka's mouth slightly ajar. "W-Wow excellent. Hah that's very impressive." Patting her shoulder out of sheer astonishment she quickly cleared her throat. "I have to assume you were practicing more before I joined. Or rather I *Need* To tell myself that. It took me much too long to get that technique down. My voice is still rather gravelly from all the failed attempts." Laughing again at her own joke this time she looked again at the destroyed dummy. Truly impressive.

With that done it was onto the other jutsu. Sumiye's question came quickly thereafter, Ayka taking a quick note of it. "Hmm well yes and no. Some elemental release like earth and water release need a bit of extra time to properly knead. Since you're creating mass out of chakra with them it can be much more taxing and therefore needing more concentration. From my understanding anyway." She said writing it down quickly. "Fire and lightning are much more destructive and volatile. The same applies for both but instead of mass you're making pure power. You need to be precise in the conversion just the same but don't need to knead it nearly as much if that makes any sense." Frowning at her own uncertainty she put a hand to her chin, rest her elbow on her other arm tucked in underneath. 

"Perhaps you should give your other jutsu a whirl and we can see. You are right however, hand seals are still important as is the chakra control. But don't spend as long needing the chakra, you don't need to create as much solid mass." WIth that explanation out of the way, Ayaka made a set of her own hand seals, tapping her hand to the ground. A little ways away, just a bit closer to them than the dummies a golem made of earth popped up. "And since you thoroughly destroyed the last target, here's another one."

*Sumiye was in the middle of focusing on her technique when she was asked to use the first name instead of the last. And judging by the way Ayaka actually thought about it, the girl began to... Feel embarrassed a bit. Minimally so, but after the technique, she quickly apologized.* "My apologies. I am way too used to formalities. Please forgive me. Would... Ayaka-sensei suffice?" *Again would she seemingly not settle with anything lower than that, and just went for the next highest honorific relative to the name she used. Ayaka was her teacher right now after all.

Receiving that second compliment though, this time about her jutsu... It did kind of manage to make the girl blush. Very gently so, but her cheeks did show a tiny bit of redness.* "Thank you. Earth is my primary element, so this was nothing out of the ordinary." *A nod was given.* "I did make my research before coming here, so that must have helped me out." *The small joke made Sumiye giggle though. Seems like the two were getting along quite well already.

Hearing all the other words now, the Kanemoto silently stood there and took in every word, making sure she heard and understood it all.* "I see. This makes sense to me as well. Please give me a moment to make an attempt." *Then, she turned her side to the other. Different seals were weaved, before she then extended her arms and pointed her palms forward. In a way, this reminded her of the Gale Palm jutsu she had seen other Shinobi use. An element she was not able to use, but still. Out of her hands came lightning. Though... They were rather thin streams, reaching the golem and maybe hurting it a bit, but not enough to destroy it, despite the elemental advantage.* "This was my fault. I should have taken more time I think." *She looked over to Ayaka.* "The lightning is supposed to be far bigger than that."
Belva
Ayaka giggled at being called sensei. It was true she was getting into the habbit of teaching but Sensei sounded strange. "San is more than enough but whatever makes you feel more comfortable. Your formality is very commendable. Most genin I've met are wayy to crass." With her lips curling again Ayaka tried not to laugh, feeling as though she had been doing so a little much. 

"Hah... Mine too." Rubbing the back of her head the Nara's own cheeks flushed slightly. "Even still it took a teacher of my own to help me get it right. You only needed a really basic instruction so yes, you did excellently. One could even say, you rock!" Letting out a small snrk now, Ayaka was unable to stop her shoulders from vibrating from her contained laughter. 

Next though was the lightning Jutsu. After the demonstration Sumiye explained it was supposed to be bigger. This time Ayaka knew the issue as did her pupil. "Yes. Sorry my explanation was poor and wordy so I'll take fault here." With a small formal bow she stood upright, leaning on a hip to write into her notebook again, this time a large circular motion was very visible. "You still need to gather enough chakra to expel, you just do not need to focus on making as much mass such is the case with earth release. But not to worry, this is what training is for! Especially for me. I'd like to be able to help more and learning my own faults in teaching is actually helping me quite a bit. It helps that you're naturally so good at this though." With a warmer smile, Ayaka looked to her golem which was still relatively intact. "Okay try again. This time more chakra, less kneading, big power."
Janie
*Calling others sensei wasn't really that weird to Sumiye. She found it appropriate, as this Officer - who obviously didn't want to be called Officer - was really helping her out by teaching her the necessary things to achieve success in her training. Either way, she was being corrected again, and this time... She slowly nodded, rubbing one of her wrists as she took mental notes.* "Ayaka-san, then. Forgive me." *Sumiye gave an apologetic smile, before...

A pun was thrown. One that made Sumiye kind of loosen up again as she visibly had to hold back a laugh as well, not releasing it for the sake of not appearing rude.* "You are too kind. I think I cannot express my gratitude enough at this point." *Ah, seems like Ayaka's words really reached her, as she actually seemed almost flustered by it all. A mentor who compliments her this much... She did like this one, really.

Before she could talk more, the Nara began explaining to her what she did wrong and how she could improve. The answer almost seemed too easy. In conclusion, she had to put in... Less work. No kneading, just more Chakra. That's far easier than the Rock Gun stuff.* "Alright. Give me a quick moment please." *She said politely, before beginning to weave her seals again. Quicker this time, and the kneading part... It wasn't skipped obviously, but she put less time into that. What she did put in instead was Chakra. More than one might expect.

In the end, she shot out the jutsu again, this time far stronger. It was actually strong enough to make the golem crumble and potentially explode into smaller rocks. Sumiye smiled proudly, even if her jutsu wasn't as strong as it could be - especially with one hand shooting out an almost unnoticeably weaker beam.* "Raw power almost seems like an easier and better way for Lightning Release." *She figured, giving Ayaka a nod.* "You indeed are a phenomenal teacher, Ayaka-san. I could not have done all this without your aid!"
