Seika Sarutobi
Post One:
Standing in the centre of the training fields, Seika chatted with her cousin Shey. Talking about recent events in their clan and how much potential her sisters are showing. Today Seika was going to be learning a jutsu and her Cousin Shey would be her dummy. It was not something that would hurt him immediately, it was called the ‘Temporary Paralysis Technique’. Having the ability to physically restrains an opponent, as if the opponent had been tied in invisible steel ropes. It debilitates the victim for a short period of time, which allows the user to either strike again, or take the target into custody. It would be an interesting jutsu to her list, knowing that it would definitely come to good use in missions. All she would have to do is get eye contact with her opponent, where the jutsu would temporarily be paralyzed in its spot for a few seconds. Depending on skill level, the time of the paralyzation can vary so upon mastery Seika would learn to control timing more.
“Tell me when your ready” Shey moved about 10 meters away from her standing in an upright position.
Taking a moment to stretch Seika nodded her head slightly, giving her cousin the permission to come at her. I was like a flash, he had came running to her at full speed. Leaving her no time to react, he punched her right in the gut. Making her lean forward followed by a choking cough.
“Concentrate Seika” Shey whispered in her ear as he made a tiger seal and flickered away.
‘Have to focus, he’s not joking’ Seika thought to herself as she could already sense her cousin running towards her from the left. Swiftly turning to the direction he was running, Seika was now facing him. Pulling her left leg back and getting ready for the right moment, Shey was 3 inches away when Seika pushed backwards off her left leg and locked eyes with Shey. Concentrating chakra in her hands as they came together in a Boar seal, it was like magic. Almost immediately Shey had jumped forward when she had moved back, but stopped mid air and fell to the ground like he was trapped by steel ropes. Smiling Seika reached forward with her right hand to grab him, but Shey pushed off the grassy field and tackled by her waist to the ground.

Tackled on the ground, Shey quickly got up and helped Seika up. “Remember, once you lose concentration, I go free. Also… you have not mastered it. You can not expect to learn it so quickly” Shey put his hands together in a tiger seal and flickered away. Looking around Seika used her sensory skills to locate him, ‘behind… front… left… right…. ABOVE’ her eyes shooting up, she saw her cousin coming down with his leg straight out, going at her at rapid speed, about. Using her fast reaction speed she dodged her cousin again by pushing off her left leg, moving backwards about 5 feet. Shey easily caught himself and landed on his toes.
“So you have been working with your sensing technique too…” Shey took off again but Seika was ready.
Clapping her hands together in a boar seal as he took off, Seika looked deep into her cousins eyes. Stopping his movements the moment they locked eyes, he could barely get to the 3 foot mark. Concentrating Seika let go of her hands and tested her strength against Shey’s. She could feel his resistance against the invisible or non existent steel ropes. She held him together for 30 seconds before her lock had broken.
“Although this is a low ranked jutsu, the longer you hold your opponent the harder it becomes” Shey explained.
Post Three:
“Now remember, this technique should not be abused. This best works when your enemy is at his or her lowest, when you are in a bind and they do not expect anything of this matter. Your opponent will shit his pants if he ends up losing the will to use his body, thats when you strike to finish him” Shey paced back and fourth.
“Got it… So just eye contact and seal” Seika nodded but Shey only yelled back at her.
“IDIOT! What happens when you are going against the likes of a Kurama or Uchiha? This jutsu might just lead you to your death. Not only that… But some people do not even use eye contact. Some just use a seal. Conditioning yourself to be that way will leave you with less weakness, especially with clans with strong visual prowess” Shey continued and out of no where sprinted towards Seika.
Shocked by his rude comment… She sighed because he was incredibly right, Shey like her was very intelligent and strong… Almost an equal for her; being the same age and growing up together. Both of their fathers were extremely strict which was not much of a shocker being brothers. However in just the same way she knew all his tricks… “What do you take me for? You think you will get me this easily?” Seika groaned as she lifted her arms up, running forwards as well. The two running closer together, Shey lifted his right arm to throw a punch to her face while Seika used her fast reaction skills to shift under his arm where she would place her arms on his back, sending a strong knee to his gut.
“Ughh…” Shey coughed a bit from the winding but clamped his right arm right under her thigh before she could retract her leg. Using his strength to swing her over his shoulder and deep into the grassy dirt.
Finding herself in a bind Seika smashed into the dirt, noticing her cousin was right above her. Coughing the kunoichi quickly placed her hands together in a boar seal, concentrating her chakra to release. Instantly Shey was stuck in place looking down at the girl. Seika at the advantage swiftly jumped to her toes and used a grounded spin kick to try knocking Shey over. Sadly her connection broke and he horse jumped into the air about 2 feet up dodging.
“That was not even 5 seconds and I couldn't hold it…” Seika sighed as she jumped to a standing position.
Panting Shey shook his head, “You are thinking more on the out come rather then the actual process of doing things. Its not like abra-cadabra you mastered the jutsu, you have to master it in a logical way.”
Post four:
Listening to all her cousins advice she moved back and this time her cousin did not move. He simply stood there. Confused on why he stopped the action fighting she just went along.
“I think you might be focusing too much on the fight and outcome. First master it from a still state, then work your way up to master it in battle situations” Shey said as he waited for Seikas move.
Nodding, Seika put her hands together in a boar seal. Not looking Shey directly in the eyes but concentrating on his body, she imagined it visually being tied up in ropes as she concentrated her chakra into her seal. “Temporary Paralysis Jutsu!” Seika yelled as she performed the jutsu, instantly making Shey seem and feel like he was trapped within non-existent steel ropes. Her hands still together, she slowly let them go and focused hard. Holding Shey for 30 seconds yet again. ‘Is that my limit’ she sighed.
“Again” Shey pushed his cousin harder.
Post Five:
Groaning, Seika clapped her hands together again in a boar seal. Furrowing her brow she closed her eyes for a short moment, imagining her chakra pool circling perfectly and distributing a small faction of her chakra into her hands. Reopening them she called out again, “Temporary Paralysis Jutsu!!!” performing the jutsu again, she would look at Shey, who's body stood still and resistant to her jutsu.
Honestly she was impressed he was so strong and that he was handling this so well. Then again he was her uncles son and her fathers nephew. There was no way he was going to come out a bad shinobi. Concentrating, she focused on believing he was was actually tied together by steel ropes, she could visual use her imagination to help her. Focused she held the jutsu for 45 seconds, for many people 45 seconds was a lot and was enough to take someone out. However Seika did not, she wanted to try getting a longer time.
“You are doing great not many people can hold it for that long, why do you want to continue?” Shey asked her curiously.
“because I want to be stronger” Seika whispered
“… Seika, I know you blame yourself for Sishi. But it was not your fault. She risked her life to save you— Her sister and future clan leader—“ Shey tried to explain but seika raised her hand expressing her wish for him to stop talking.
“No Shey. I should have been the one killed. If anything you could have held the spot for when my sisters would come of age” Finishing that chat off, Seika rolled her shoulders getting ready to do it again.

Seika did not feel the need to argue with her cousin. She was too close to him like a brother to get into something like that… Plus no one could tell her different without her getting worked up. So she ignored anything that was said and cracked her knuckles.
“Still want to continue?” Seika smiled over to her cousin.
“Of couse” He smirked “Want to try with me moving again?” Shey asked.
Seika nodded, giving Shey the permission for him to pounce. He was still moving pretty quickly for being stuck a couple of times… Having to use his strength and skill to break out. She wondered if he was tired at all. None the less, Seika was not going to give up. Clapping her hands togethers she made a boar hand seal, running forward her Cousin waited until they were about 2 meters apart. Where he would take out a kunai and attempt to throw it, Already focused Seika dodged it easily and concentrated chakra into her hands where she’d do the jutsu. “Temporary paralysis jutsu!!!” She yelled as she easily stopped him in his tracks, a foot away from her. Face to face, she held him in for 45 seconds before she let him go.
Post Seven:
“Seika you know how useful this jutsu can be?” Shey asked Seika, pondering his thoughts.
“Yes, Even 10 seconds of this jutsu can mean life or death… But I always need to prepared for the worst” Seika said softly as she cracked her knuckles.
This was now her seventh training attempt, So far things were going swell. Seika understood this jutsu to the highest of her ability, things like learning new techniques came pretty natural to the Sarutobi. Even when she was little, she always seemed to have a natural gift for ninjutsu, allowing her to excel in mostly all of them really quickly.
“Alright lets go at it again” Shey commanded as he bent his knees slightly to balance out his body.
Nodding her head, Shey took off from their 2 metre distance apart. Running towards her at a pace she had not witnessed… Shey was fast, Seika was not expecting this. Before she could even take a step back Shey had landed a punch to the left side of her face.
‘Concentrate Seika!’ she yelled to herself mentally as her head swung to the right pushing her body to turn where her Cousin would have landed a kick to her left hip, sending her flying back a few feet, landing exactly 3 meters away. Coughing out some blood Seika was on her hands and knees concentrating on sensing his movements. She was already on the go, running towards her at ferocious speed.
“Not happening again” Seika roared as she clapped her hands together creating a boar seal concentrated chakra into her seal, simply moving herself to sit on her butt where she would see her cousin about a foot and a half away. Keeping calm the Sarutobi yelled “Temporary paralysis jutsu!”
In seconds Shey had stopped on his treacherous path, reacting almost immediately with her concentration in check, Seika jumped up and took a large step counting down the 15 second mark. ‘5 Seconds…’ Seika raised her right leg high to the sky, keeping her balance on her left. ’Another five…’ She thought as her right leg came smashing down at her cousins left shoulder in an axe kick. One her kick landed her cousin when crumbling into the ground face first finally getting to her 15 second marker.
Post Eight:
Looking at her Cousin laying on the floor pretty much covered in dirt she laughed. “I could tell you picked up your game… So I picked mine up” Her voice was slightly cocky and mischievous.
“Guess I doubted your skill…” Shey coughed out as he turned onto his back.
But taking to much time to laugh things out Seika’s guard was let down. She knew this and grabbed her right ankle with his right hand, using all his strength to fly her over him and smack her into the ground as well.
With little time to react, Seika prepared for impact as her right shoulder hit the ground making her clench in pain. Guess I deserved that, she coughed out feeling her cousin release her ankle and stand up. Sighing she got up and rolled her shoulder getting the feel of it before she gave them some room again. Looking at her cousin from a 2 metre distance she chuckled a bit, looking at him all dirty and her own self that looked like half of her body was hit hard into mud.
Shey could not help but laugh as well, they both loved training together. They were basically inseparable since they were toddlers, having to train together very often as either dads were their uncles.
Clapping her hands together in a boar seal, Seika ran forward to her cousin at fast speed concentrating chakra into her seal. Smirking her cousin stood in his spot and got caught by her jutsu purposely. Stopping in her tracks she looked at him and he just made a random face. “Have you stopped taking this seriously??” Seika groaned as Shey was stopped hard in his tracks.
“You seem to be great at it already” Shey shrugged as seika let go of her jutsu.
“Sike!!” Shey grabbed a kunai from his punch and threw it towards her chest. Shocked Seika ducked down barley missed the kunai and having it cut the tips of her hair as it raised to the air from the wind.
“… My… Hair…” Seika looked at her cousin with a death glare.
Post Nine:
Taking off angry, Shey knew he fucked up. Seika’s hair was very sacred to her, she only cut it or touched it when someone she knew died. Clapping her handed together in a boar sign, her chakra quickly concentrating into her hands.
“MY RATH WILL RAIN DOWN ON YOU!!!!!” Seika Screamed as she locked him in the temporary paralysis jutsu once more. Still running up to him she raised her arm up, concentrating more chakra into her fist.
Punching forward, her fist crumbled into her cousins right jaw. The mere pressure of her punch pushed his head back and sent him flying back 3 metres, his body skidding aimlessly against the dirt grass ground.
Blinking a couple times, Seika noticed how angry she got and she grew a sweat drop. Looking at her cousin his body twitched little bit and looked over to her cousin with a chibi face tears blunging up in a comical sense.
“SEIKA-CHAN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!” He yelled going a little bit hectic in his spot.
Laughing a little Seika spoke “You know how I feel about my hair Shey-San.” Hearing his sigh he rubbed his right cheek already feeling the bump growing beneath his skin.
Post Ten:
“Let me just stand still so you can do it once more and then we will call it a day…” Shey said sighing in pain of his jaw.
“Gotcha” Seika smirked as she clapped her hands together once more walking forward bit leaving about 2 meters in distance. Making a boar seal for the last time, she focused her chakra once more into her hands, feeling it flow from her core down her arms into the seal. looking towards her cousin her yelled “Temporary Paralysis jutsu!”
Instantaneously Shey was trapped in the jutsu, feeling as if he was wrapped with invisible steel ropes. Not wanted to push her cousin to much seika held the jutsu for 30 seconds and let go.
“Lets head home” She smiled as her cousin nodded.
It was a great day, taking the time to practice with her cousin. She really appreciated all he did for her, especially taking beatings just to make sure she would succeed.
“Thank you Shey” Seika said softly.
“Anytime” He patted her head as they walked back to the Sarutobi compound, calling it a day.
