``` Training Glade now ```

*Jomei was looking to train a technique her father handed her the instructional scroll for. She decided to challenge herself and see how she did when learning a much more difficult technique that normal. She was told this technique had potential to be the building block for a plethora of other intense techniques. So she was more than excited to learn this technique.* 

*She had come here for that specific reasons, the sole purpose of learning a technique in an area that was best suited for it. Although it was full of trees she found herself an area of the glade that was relatively lacking in trees. A bald spot basically.* 

*As she read the scroll she was confused. It was said that this technique was a lot of fire that "Expanded" In a way. She assumed that it was like the typical fire release technique that starts off small and expands with greater range, but that wasn't the case. Not entirely.*

*Nasaki sat somewhere at the top of the glade, his legs dangling as he wanted some peace and quiet after the most recent events in his life. He just wanted to relax. His shift at the hospital had ended and he came to the glade to witness the academy students alike train and progress forward, breaking their limits and going beyond. Or so, that's what he wanted the most. Nasaki didn't want to think about their troubles, or what caused them to become a shinobi, or what caused them to kill. To harm others that couldn't protect themselves. As he looked over, down into the glade, he saw a certain genin stand out to him. It was mainly due to what the scroll contained. Even from a few meters up, he could tell that the technique, though not being clear to Nasaki, was a powerful one from the drawings alone. Slowly getting up, he looked down to the ground and to the glade, before he leaned forward and fell straight down.*

*The images of death flashed his mind, but for the most part, Nasaki was un-phased by the haunting images. He only hoped they'd leave his mind soon. He wanted his mind to be free of the chains that kept them in place. Remembering what he said to Yuki a while back, and how he was putting on this façade for the betterment of others, he wondered how many people would be better off if they didn't have to deal with his fake persona.*

*Landing skilfully on his feet, Nasaki looked over to other genin, raising his eyebrows up, as if he was saying "Hey", but didn't have the social tact to actually speak to them at all. As he then walked over, Nasaki was able to get a good look at the technique they were studying. Intelligent Hard Work. He had seen it before, when he was learning Pressure Damage. It made him chuckle before he looked to the genin that was trying to learn it.*

"Well. You're not going to learn it like that, now are you?"

*His voice had tints of joy layered throughout it, but for the most part, it was distraught.*

"Yo." *Jomei took notice of Nasaki when he landed on the ground, but she decided against continuing anymore conversation with this new fellow. It was only when he approached her that she figured they were going to be engaging. Hearing the man speak with that voice and with those words sort of confused Jomei. She listened, his words and his tone almost seemed like he was eager to help Jomei, but at the same time something plagued him. It was a strange anomaly that she hadn't really noticed before, who was this guy?*

"I suppose not, but it doesn't make sense really. How does a fire release technique expand violently, but not from the expansion of it as it leaves your mouth?" *It was clear to see that Jomei didn't quite understand what the contents described. But she doubted reading it over and over again would help her discover the missing piece of information that would push her from not understanding the technique to mastering it in no time. She stood up from her crouched position and looked to Nasaki, stepping a bit away to make sure she didn't catch the man in the crossfire.*

"Excuse me." *Jomei immediately weaved the handseals described in the scroll and churned her chakra to create the signature fire release aspected chakra. In the next instant she had expelled a small fireball towards the ground a ways away, and tried feeding it more chakra in the hopes it would suddenly expand. That wasn't very well the case, as it didn't do anything upon hitting the ground. She scowled at this result, looking at Nasaki as if expecting him to do something.*

*Nasaki simply ran a hand through his hair before realising that there wasn't much for him to do. But then they tried to do the technique and failed miserably. It made him take a deep sigh and reassess the situation at hand. It only took, what, a few seconds at best till he figured out what to do and how to achieve it. Clapping his hands together, Nasaki figured he should show them what a powerful wind technique looked like, the brother to Intelligent Hardwork. Pressure Damage. As he walked a few steps forward, taking a deep inhale of the charred ground, before he weaved the handseals needed with one hand and at high speeds for a genin, before he shot out an almost A-Rank level equivalent pressure damage. With the damage being caused, Nasaki looked backwards, a smile flickering on his face before it died away. The joy that once encased his body was a embed of the burning fire it was once.*

"It's called creativity. It can let you end a person's life if you wish to take it. Now try again. If I can do it, you can too, trust me, I was a moron like you, even not more a moron. I've gotten better, you can do the same."

*Despite his cold attitude, he was being encouraging and supportive. He wasn't a total asshole as there wasn't a need to bully and belittle the genin that has probably recently graduated from the academy. And then, his smile, his dying smile came back before it withered away into the distance.*

"Fire is unique. Now use it to your advantage."

*Jomei took another look at the scroll after seeing the Pressure Damage that Nasaki performed. She listened to them speak, and tried to see what she was doing wrong. She didn't quite understand what she was missing, but she looked back as to why Nasaki used Pressure Damage. It felt much more, dense, than the typical wind release technique. She knew that wind release was closer to slashing and slicing things apart then what Pressure Damage did, it wasn't slicing. After some thinking she think she had an idea, it was a compacting the technique. She looked to the drawing and the graphs on the scroll, seeing that it made sense. If you compact the fire and let it be disturbed, it would erupt and explode to be more destructive.*

"I see." *Jomei said as she placed the scroll back down on the floor to free up her hands. Weaving the handseals and beginning to inhale sharply to prepare for using the technique. She begun to churn her chakra and turned up the heat, making it fire-aspected and turning up the intensity of the flames. She then took that chakra and compacted it, making it denser and denser until she felt it was a danger to hold it. Now it was time to release it, exhaling out of her mouth and causing the small fireball to propel itself towards the ground once more.*

*The issue this time was that before it hit the ground it expanded into a bigger fireball. Losing its velocity and much of its power as it wasn't properly maintained. It was an improvement from the last time but it still wasn't as described in the technique scroll. She needed to figure out the last missing piece.*
