"My name is Tatsu, but you may also hear of the Senju clan as well. In Noragakure the first two leaders were of my clan, but back then they had the ability to make the walls you see around you. Now we are simply above average ninja with something of a legacy."

Though their legacy had become a bit tainted and corrupted as of late, whether by the one who had been blamed or the one who had so personally carried the duty out remained to be revealed. Though again, these were thoughts that he sought to keep tamed. Thoughts he wished to push down until he was in a better position to address them, 

"I don't know that specific jutsu, but I know one that is something like a more advanced version of it."

Though he supposed with high enough chakra control one could elevate gunshot to the level of Cold Sky Water Attack anyways, but that was neither here nor there. 

"I've been working on a new element lately. I can give you pointers, but I will be attempting to do my own technique and keep my mind off the current war."

"Tatsu." Trying the name out for himself, he would take note of it before squinting at the Senju name. "You're from the group that started the village." There were other rumors about them down in the caves below, but nevertheless, Tatsu seemed to be fine for now, as did most of the people within the village. Only a few gave him strange stares and whispers now. 

The mention of pointers would cause him to nod, allowing him to do a few hand seals while he tried the technique again. Bringing water up into his mouth, it would shoot out in a small stream akin to the fish that would shoot water to snipe bugs out of the sky, rather than something actually useful in combat. Dumping out the rest of the water that pooled in his mouth, he would shake his head and turn to the Chunin. "Why would you want to keep your mind off of the war? We are warriors. It is what we do. And pointers would help."
Hattie
"Fighting people is simple, but the reasons people fight and the things people will do to start a war are complicated. Even the circumstances around our latest Kage are confusing, by training I can take time away from all these thoughts and grim possibilities. Even before the war, the thought of Horrors, of Sosen, of Saga. Those were enough to keep me on edge."

Wind, it was new to him, but it could do things that his other elements could not. Beyond that once he had wind he would have a counter or at least an equal force for every naturally occurring element. Though to some extent he had already began collecting the ability to shut down more exotic abilities as well. 

"I have a technique called Cold Sky Water Attack, it is similar though with more pressurized water. To do what you want I would make all of the water you produce as dense as you can before letting it loose, in the end you're firing off spheres so your shape manipulation isn't quite as important here."

That being said, now came the accumulation of wind chakra in his left hand, but this was air. It was not something that stuck together, it constantly desired to come undone. Not only this but he required his own talons to guide it, how tedious.

"Fitting that these claws of mine will finally have purpose."
Derek
"Do we need to truly care about the reason other people fight? If they are against us, then they must be dealt with. Those who wish to bring peace to the table will do that. We are weapons. Whatever happened with the current leader of the village is interesting however. The struggles of power never cease. Everyone wants to become the leader, even if it's with a cost greater than they can afford when it is time to fulfill it. Saga is the one who destroyed the wall." Speaking it matter of factly and almost as a way to show off his knowledge, as he listened to the Senju give him advice, he would give a nod and try again. 

"Water Release: Gunshot."

Condensing the water in his mouth by holding the chakra in his tenketsu until the last possible moment, as his lips couldn't take the pressure it would shoot out a large bullet of water, flinging itself across the pond and into the water with a small splash. Turning to look at Tatsurama using wind chakra, he would nod as he thought about the process. 

"It looks like they will fall apart. You must keep your focus on maintaining the shape, or it will escape. That is what Lightning does, and I assume Wind is no different from what I have heard of the element."
Hattie
"The reason always matters, no one is evil in their own story. Had Sana and friends thought that, then perhaps you would still be in the caves. And their reasons for fighting help us know their goals, their targets. Saga is an interesting one as well, he could destroy anyone or anything whenever he pleases. Yet, he has been silent since that day."

This was perhaps the first time Tatsu had ever come across someone he felt was *Too* Ready for battle. They were willing to become a drone of war with very little thought. This seemed even more dangerous than having a bunch of soft minded ninja that broke down in the midst of war. There was a difference between being a ninja and being a weapon. 

Now, for the wind. Keeping it together, dense, compressed, all the way until it was beyond your reach. Here he would condense the wind within his hand, infusing his will until the energy before slinging his hand in a crescent towards the sky. As his talons whistled through the air he would release his wind chakra along its surface, from which a blade would be formed that soared skyward,

"Hm, my first wind jutsu. And it's of quite a high rank, it too bad I have no plans for obtaining a fan."
