Immortal's Daughter
Chapter 12: third year
Koomahana
Okay, I did some editing; grammar, spelling, scene adding
Thanks to ' ' I was told that I was too focused on progressing through the years to the desired time age where everything goes down. So thank you ' ' for telling me about my mistake. (Okay, I've given up on typing his/her name, its not gonna show up no matter what I do, you can see the reviews if your that curious)
So when I added the 'growing' stage for Sakura and the others, I kind of ran it over board and had to split the chapter in half, sorry guys
The added scene is at the end, I hope you all like it

"So we're agreed on the Advanced Class's arm band?" Hiruzen asked with a tiered sounding voice, "these will be given out this year then?"
"Yes," Homura agreed, staring down at the gray cloth in question, "although I do wonder about the all the symbolism on such a tiny piece of cloth…"
"It is for identification purposes," Kohaku replied calmly. The stripes are in indication of the year the advanced student is in. So a second year in the academy would have to stripes while a first year would have one stripe. If it's done in read they're in the years one through four, blue is five through eight and none of the stipes are more than four. These large lines in the front are to make the emblem of the advanced students stand out more. The large decagon is the symbol of the ten Advanced classes in the Shinobi academy, only the eighth years could participate in all ten Advanced classes. The four directional arrows inside the decagon is the symbol of the four possible directions the advanced students could take: Interrogation, battle front, stealth and medical corps. The frame square in the center of the four arrows is the four sides of a cell: the Jonin and three genin. The triangle inside the square is the symbol of the three final graduates of the advanced Class. The number inside the triangle was the generation number of that particular child.
So someone like Sakura Haruno, a current second year, would have two red stripes on the band with the number four on the inside, considering she's the fourth generation of the Advanced training.
"A number inside a triangle, inside a square, inside four arrows, inside a decagon, which is supported by stripes in either red denoting one to fourth years or blue denoting fifth to eighth years." Hiruzen sighed, "I'm getting a headache just thinking about it."
"At least the children won't be approached by the senior shinobi who get up early in the morning," Homura said, closing her eyes in tiered agreement. They had spent the 'summer break' of the academy to think up of a way for the shinobi of their village to tell the difference between a normal academy student and an advanced student. They were starting to get tiered of the complaints from the Jonin about finding the children running across their roofs because of 'training'. Some even threatened to start putting traps on their roofs if it meant some quite when they went to bed.
This better work, Hiruzen thought with a heavy sigh, I'm tired of the constant paper work and complaints…
"Lord Hokage!" Hiruzen groaned at the familiar voice of a particularly fowl tempered chunin, "Naruto did it again!"
"…what a rude little boy," Homura huffed. Hiruzen rubbed at his brow, wounding just when the blond would stop with his pranks.

Ami Nanami
Ino Yamanaka
Umeko Yamanaka
Naruto Uzumaki
Riko Yamauchi
Ami glared at the board overhead, she made it again into the advanced class but she wasn't happy with her newest result. She had heard that Sasuke had gotten into the advanced class and she heard the rumor that every quarter his scores raised so he got a new placement in the ranks but she didn't belief it because they only posted the semester results. Even the annoying Yamanaka Heir was able to keep her original placement that she kept throughout the entirety of the previous year and appears to be keeping this year as well. Growling lowly Ami turned on her heal, briefly her eyes caught sight of the still remaining top three students with the 'fair' numbers four and seven flanking number three. At first she thought that Hinata had been laughing at something the blonde in the group had said but she quickly realized that the young heir had locked eyes with her and knew she saw the results as well. Hinata smiled and returned to the conversation she was having with her friends, completely unconcerned with the resulting glare Ami gave her.
She'll pay for that! Ami thought with a snarl, she marched past the gathering group of children and went straight for her first class of the day. She had no intention of failing in her self-assigned mission; she will beat Sakura Haruno one way or another!
I can't wait for Auntie's training today, Ami thought as she took a deep calming breath. Just thinking about the older woman made her feel calmer, her mind clearing significantly. She knew the woman wasn't related to her but Ren was the closest thing to a mother she had ever known, especially since she killed her own mother during birth. Pausing in the middle of the hallway, Ami looked up at the nearest door to get her bearings, marching through that agent school without paying attention to where she was, was a really stupid idea. The nearest door didn't have any little white signs with numbers or letters, just a simple little plaque that read 'B.O.D. Library'.
Bod's library? What kind of name is Bod? Ami thought in confusion, is this someone's personal library or something? Ami walked forward and carefully pushed the door open. Seeing that it wouldn't budge easily, Ami put her shoulder to the wall and pushed with both hands against the door, forcing it to open slowly and loudly. After a moment Ami stopped, fearing the door might fall off its rail at the top; she wasn't strong enough or big enough to fix it and the last thing she needed was to get into trouble for breaking someone's private property. Seeing that it was dark inside the 'library', Ami reached towards the nearest wall for the light switch. Instead of a switch she found something hard and round with something else protruding from the top of it, curious Ami grabbed hold of it and pulled it into the light of the hall.
A candle? Ami thought in confusion, staring down at the little wooden candle carrier and its waxy counterpart. Ami peaked out in the hall, looking both ways of the hall before she ducked back into the darkness of the room and carefully closed the shaky door. Once she got the door as closed as she could, leaving behind only an inch of space between the sliding door and it's wall, Ami turned to face the near perfect blackness of the library. Ami crouched low before the door and set the candle down carefully. Double checking the darkness of the room for any sources of light that she should be aware of, Ami carefully formed a concentration hand sign. Taking a deep, steady breath, Ami slowly let it out and watched as the space around her lit up with the light of her tiny flame. It wasn't much and she had been warned by her aunt that the purpose of the little flame was to start fires when camping but it could also be used to light candles, as she had just done. Coughing horsy, Ami frowned down at the candle, not liking that she had to use her only elemental technique just to light it. Carefully dismissing the necessity and the minor percentage reduction of her chakra, Ami took hold of the candle and stood up. Lifting the candle a little higher then she properly should have, Ami stared out at what the light of the candle lite up, showing her a seemingly endless rows and columns of stacked books.
Behind her above the door, the candle lit up the bone white mask of a young man dressed in complete black
"What a strange place," Ami thought, not seeing young Anbu agent over head, "I wonder how big it is…" Ami stepped forward, lowering the candle as she began to walk forward, curiously looking up at the titles littering each row of shelves. Half of the titles were too high for her to make out and others were covered in too much dust and spider webs for her to read, some though were low enough for her to read. One row read 'Mist' (she couldn't make out the second word), another 'Interrogation' and another read something 'class'. Ami didn't have a clue what that meant but she did decide it wasn't worth her time to investigate it. As she walked further and further down the rows, she eventually came across an ail that read 'Elemental Techniques'. Now that piped her interest. Just as she turned to go down ail and possibly see what she couldn't read before class, Ami heard someone clear their throat and nearly dropped her candle when she jumped and turned towards the sound. Two ails down from her stood a tall old man with a bandage covering his right eye, a cane held in his left hand and dressed in a white Kimono with a dark blue over coat that was held shut by a single tan Obi.
"Hello child," the man said, his voice was low, low enough to remind Ami of her father when he was sober. "What are you doing here?" Ami took a step back and looked away from him, for a moment she could almost see her father's image overlap that of the strangers and it took everything she had not to start crying at the memory of the man. When he was drunk he was the world's worst father, when he was sober it was like he was a completely different person; all smiles and laughter, like nothing was wrong with their world.
"S-Sorry sir," Ami stuttered, "I... I didn't mean to trespass… I-I was just curious… s-sorry…" Ami didn't see the old man raise one curious eyebrow, silently noting her change in demeanor when she saw him and the change when a flicker of recognition and fear flashed in her brown eyes.
"What is your name child?" the man asked, not moving from his place
"A-Ami sir," she answered hesitantly, still not looking at him, "Ami Nanami."
"My name is Danzo Shimura," the man said, taking a step forward, "And this is my library."
"o-oh… s-sorry for trespassing," Ami whispered, ducking her head, remembering a time when her father would've struck her for the mistake. She watched the man shift and she reflexively flinched back, noticing too late that he was only passing by her, not raising his hand to hit her.
"Is there something wrong girl?" Danzo asked, pausing at the entrance to the ail to look back at her
"N-nothing sir," Ami whispered, still not looking at him
"Hmm… child, do you know who I am?" Danzo asked as he turned to walk further down the ail
"No sir," Ami answered softly, not daring to follow him as she glanced back at the door she entered through, wondering if she still had the time to run to the safety of the academy.
"I train the Anbu division, the shinobi who protect our village from the shadows," Danzo said, pausing to look at the wall and carefully removing a small yellow scroll from the shelf. "I train our last defense, the shinobi who are never seen and never heard."
"…oh," Ami glanced back at the door, wondering if she could still make it or if there were several of his 'Black Operatives' hidden but in her way.
"You don't sound very impressed," Danzo said, amusement in his voice as he turned to look back at her, "hm, aren't you going to follow me child?" Ami jerked her head towards him, her eyes widening in surprise. "That is why you came here isn't it? To find someone to train you?" Ami was speechless for a moment; she had already told him that she entered because she was curious, so why did he think she wanted someone to train her? Her brown eyes widened as she watched a shadow appear at the edge of the candle light of Danzo's candle, she couldn't see its complete form but she could tell it was small and wore a bone mask
"Do you want to be an Anbu operative?" Danzo asked almost curiously
"I want to be the very best," Ami said, brown eyes clued to the crouching figure with the slightly tilted mask of an almost curious looking owl. "I want to be stronger then the legendary three." Danzo thought that Ami was referring to the great Sanin and smirked in approval, proud he found someone he could manipulate. However, Ami was referring to the top three students of the Advanced Division, the three children who were quickly gaining status within the village. They were being recognized as the three rookies of the year, the future Sanin and the perfect candidates for the succession of the Hokage.
And above all else, Ami thought of Sakura, her greatest rival and the girl she hated most
"Well then," Danzo smirked at her, approval lacing his voice, "That I can help you with."
"You can?" Ami asked, her eyes widening slightly with surprise
"But of course," Danzo turned and grabbed the little carrier case his man brought him and let him disappear into the shadows, "I did teach one of them myself." Danzo conveniently forgot to mention that, that man became a nuke-nin and became the biggest thorn in his side ever since he defected.
"You… you can make me stronger than them?" Ami asked, stepping towards him, hope seeping from every pour on her body
"I can make you greater than the Sanin," Danzo agreed, pulling another scroll down from the shelf, "You need only to obey my orders."
"Yes sir," Ami smirked, twisting her body to face the ail so she could follow him further into the darkness of the library
I will not lose to you!

Shikamaru yawned as he walked with his group of friends. Ino was nagging to Chōji about his eating habits, Shino was talking to Hinata about another bug he found and Kiba was arguing with Naruto about something that was undoubtedly stupid. So Shikamaru found himself smiling as they each walked to their lunch location, assuming that Sakura would meet them there as she so often dose; her class was closest to the location. However none of them were prepared for the sudden blast of wind that nearly knocked all of them to their knees, the only thing saving them was Chōji's quick thinking of expanding his hand to cover all of them protectively. Once the blast of wind was gone, Chōji shrunk his hand back and rubbed at it fitfully, tears springing to his eyes as he stared down at the crimson splash on back of his palm.
"Chōji!" Ino cried, jumping onto his hand and fussing over it, even pouring some of her water over his wound to help cool it down.
"What was that?" Kiba asked as he turned to smell the wind, trying to catch a sent
"B-Byakugan!" Hinata stuttered, activating her bloodline looked around them
"Let's check it out!" Naruto shouted as he took off in a random direction
"Wait Naruto!" Ino shouted diving after the boy, "They might be dangerous!"
"Well don't chase him!" Shikamaru countered, only to groan and follow after the two of them as they both disappeared from sight
"I can track them," Hinata said as she quickly hurried after them
"You're not the only tracker!" Kiba shouted as he followed after her, "Inuzuka's are the best trackers in the village!"
"I beg to differ," Shino huffed following them
"…they're nuts," Chōji sighed following his friends with a fond smile, "but I love 'em." Chōji followed the obvious trail in the forest and easily caught up with his friends, his smile growing as he caught sight of something pink in the distance. His group of friends, however, were huddled together behind a bush, all silent and still.
"Hay guys—humerf!" Shikamaru quickly jumped up and practically threw Chōji to the ground, one hand smacked against his mouth
"Shhh!" Ino hissed at him, "watch." Ino returned to staring at what was beyond the bush and Chōji turned to look too, his eyes widening as he saw Sakura dancing in a large field. She held two large fans in both hands, she was spinning and twirling, keeping up with the pace of a violin that their instructor Hotaru was playing, the dozens of pink and red flower petals seemed to follow her every move. The first thing Chōji thought was that it was positively beautiful and that Sakura looked incredibly graceful with the flower petals following her every move.
"Is that… is that what I think it is?" Shikamaru asked softly, turning to look at Hinata as if she was the only one who could confirm his suspicions.
"Yes it is," Hinata whispered, the veins surrounding her eyes not lessoning, "she's practicing controlling the wind… I think she's preparing herself to use a wind style technique."
"But we're not supposed to be learning elemental Ninjutsu until we're seventh years," Ino countered with a frown on her face
"But wind nature is incredibly rare," Shikamaru reminded her, "remember? Hotaru-sensei said only one person in every few thousand are said to have it. There is a record of only four people in the entirety of the village who have it, two are dead, one is Lord Hokage's son and the other is Hotaru sensei."
"So the village only has two wind users," Kiba sighed depressed, "that sucks, and they're both male."
"Technically the village has three wind users," Shino piped up, "Why? Because Hotaru-sensei is teaching Sakura-san how to control the wind which means she has wind chakra as well."
"That means he must have Lord Hokage's permission," Shikamaru took in a deep, steady breath. "I can understand why, wind style is said to be the hardest element of all five elements to master. Couple that with it's insane rarity, you can see why those with wind style are each so different from each other, epically since none of them had the foresight to write down their findings for the next wind user."
"So then… Hotaru-sensei is the only one in the village who can teach Sakura-chan how to control her element?" Hinata asked softly, bright white eyes sad as she watched her friend dance, "then she in turn must spend the rest of her life searching for someone else to train, just as Hotaru-sensei has lived his life… right?"
"Most likely," Shikamaru agreed softly, "man that must suck, having a talent for something no one knows how to control."
"So... That explains why she's learning it so soon" Ino gave a depressed sigh, her baby blue eyes watching the petals dance around her friend. "Hmm?" Ino blinked, her eyes widening as she saw Naruto standing up. "Kyaa-!" Shikamaru quickly slapped a hand over Ino's mouth, preventing the girl from screaming.
"Oi! Sakura-Chan!" Naruto shouted loudly, distracting the spinning pinket and her teacher. The violin came to a screeching halt and the wind twirling around Sakura snapped out of her control, sailing straight for Naruto and nearly sending him flying into the nearest tree. The only thing saving him was Hotaru appearing and forcing him to the ground, even going so far as covering Naruto with his body.
"Naruto-san!" Sakura cried out worriedly, she dropped her fans and ran straight for him, panicked tears in her eyes
"Hay Sakur—" Naruto lowered his braced arms to look up at his friend
"You idiot!" Naruto yelped as a fist was slammed into his head, nearly knocking the blonde out. "Are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Hotaru asked loudly, towering over the boy as Sakura skidded to a halt, her green eyes wide, "Do you know how dangerous that stunt of yours was?! Controlling the wind is no easy feat! One misstep and you could've gone sailing out of the village and threw a mountain!"
"At least I'll land," Naruto said with watery eyes and a wobbly smile
"IDIOT!" Hotaru screamed smacking Naruto's head, Shikamaru's eyes widened as he caught the panicked look that flickered on the blonde-man's face, Ino had jerked at the sight of the tear that slipped past her teacher's guard. "Don't joke about death! It's not something to laugh at! Once you're gone, you're gone! There's no getting back up! No coming back to say one last thing to someone! No apologies! No—"
"I wasn't joking about it!" Naruto shouted back at his teacher, making Hotaru blink in surprise, having never heard the rambunctious boy scream. "I wasn't joking about it…" Naruto repeated himself, a little softer than before. Hotaru stared at him for a moment before releasing a heavy sigh, one hand rubbing over his suddenly against looking face, unwanted memories were forcefully shoved to the back of his mind.
"When you see someone preforming a jutsu, epically a wind style one, duck for cover, okay?" Hotaru asked as he squatted to Naruto's level and looked the teary-eyed boy in the eye, "countering an element with one that's superior is difficult at best but if you get out of the way you should be okay." Naruto blinked at him, sniffing he rubbed at his face and pouted at his teacher. People may think he was an idiot, and he acted like one on purpose, but that didn't mean he was oblivious; he knew what death was.
"Naruto-san," Sakura whispered stepping a little closer, Naruto turned to look at her, the first thing he saw were her teary-green eyes and the snot threatening to escape her nose. "Moron!" Sakura screamed slamming a fist into his face, Naruto let out a startled shout as he fell to the ground. "Do you have any idea how scared I was?!" Sakura screamed at him, "Do you have any idea how terrified that made me?! Do you know what it's like to lose control of something and end up putting someone you love in danger?!" Naruto stared up at Sakura in shock, his blue eyes wide and his mouth open as he openly gawked at the girl stand over him. Sakura wasn't one to raise her voice, she didn't scream, she didn't act violent, she didn't even glare at people. The worst she got was a sad, disappointed looking smile, as if she thought higher of you and then your stupidity lowered that expectation. The upside was that it was that look that made everyone around her strive to get back that smile, as if they wanted her to expect great things of them. The down side was that sad smile made the receiver feel two inches tall for an hour or two, depending on how big their ego was.
"Naruto!" Sakura's voice cracked and it snapped Naruto back to what was happening, watching in horror as the tears streamed endlessly down her cheeks, "are you listening to me?!" Sakura gasped as suddenly Naruto's arms were wrapped around her, she could feel something wet hit her neck and she realized that the seemingly fearless boy was crying just as hard as she was.
"I'm sorry," Naruto whispered to her, "that wasn't my intention… I didn't mean to scare you…" Sakura sniffed and collapsed to her knees, taking Naruto with her as she wrapped her arms around him and continued sobbing uncontrollably. Hotaru watched the wailing duo for a moment before he took in a deep breath and turned towards the nearest bush.
"Come on out you five," Hotaru sighed heavily. "Don't bother trying to pretend that I can't see you," he glared at the bush, silently noticeing how the black ponytail tail and twin tuffs of bright auburn-red hair turned to look at each other. "Oh for crying out loud, I can see your hair!" Hotaru huffed, growing agitated with their continued silence.
"I-Ino -san?" Sakura stuttered, her teary green eyes widening in horror, her face paling. Consumed with guilt at the soft terror filled whisper, the blonde girl stood up and matched stiffly out of the underbrush. Shikamaru and the others were quick to follow her example, Shino appeared to be the only one who wasn't afraid to face the pinket.
"Hick I-IDIOTS!" Sakura hick-upped as she released Naruto to rub vacuously at her eyes with both bruised wrists.
"S-Sakura!" Ino gasped in surprise, her eyes wide as she realized just how dirty her friend was. "You're hurt!" Ino shouted, practically diving forward to take hold of her friend's arms and lifting them away from the pinket's body too look at the rest of her. Sakura's blue shirt had a large rip spanning diagonally across her belly, her collar was torn revealing a shallow cut on Sakura's lower neck, and her sleeve's cuts spanned almost all the way around. Her pants sported five new cuts on her left pant leg revealing three shallow wounds and two huge rips on her right showing a nasty rug burn and what almost appeared to be a kunai swipe on her lower calf. Her shoes were nearly split in half thankfully without any damage done to her feet, and her left hand appeared to be sporting one broken finger that might've happened when she punched Naruto. Sakura's right hand appeared to have been placed into a pot of boiling water; it was as red as the blood rolling down Sakura's cheek. Thankfully Sakura's face didn't get too damaged, the worst wound was one cut on her right cheek that followed her cheek bone almost to her hair line and her crimson ribbon was half tugged out of her hair.
"That's what happens when you try yo force the wind to do something it doesn't want to." Hotaru sighed, rising to his full hight and stretching out his legs carefully; seemingly unsurprised with Sakura's wounds. "You should be thankful Uzumaki-san, without Sakura's last effort to control the wind, I wouldn't have made it in time to save you."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked curiously, Sakura sniffed then fainted just as fast into Ino's arms; scaring her and everyone around her.
"Sakura!" Hinata's eyes automatically activated without her hand sign or concentration, she imminently scanned her friend for any serious wounds, memorizing the girl's body without meaning too.
"Don't be afraid," Hotaru sighed, closing his eyes as the children turned frantic eyes onto him, "she's just asleep." The disbelieving looks given to him, made Hotaru pinch the bridge of his nose. "She exhausted her chakra reserves when she tried to force the wind into a new direction... She'll live," Hotaru added when Ino remained skeptical, even when Hinata had done a once over of Sakura's body herself.
"Is wielding the wind that difficult?" Shikamaru asked as he brushed his fingers through Sakura's hair, gently tugging the askew ribbon the rest of the way out. Seeing what he had done, Shikamaru sat next to his female friends and began to fiddle with the knot in the bright red ribbon.
"it's not just difficult Nara-san, it's dangerous as well," Hotaru answered, turning to look down at the children, seeing them all form a crescent moon shape around Sakura, as if they could protect her from everything wrong in this world. "I suppose you want me to give you all a lesson now that you're interested in Sakura's special training?" Hotaru asked, placing one hand on his hip as he stared down at the children. The children each looked up at him, Shino and Shikamaru nodding softly, Kiba petted Akamaru worriedly but gave a soft 'yeah'.
"Of course," Ino whispered, petting Sakura's hair out of her eyes, "I want to be as strong as her."
"I want to learn about the elements," Hinata whispered, her Byakugan still activated, she didn't elaborate why she wanted to learn about them but it didn't take a genius to figure out that she wanted to protect her friends.
"If you don't teach us I'll learn about it on my own!" Naruto said, trying to glare at Hotaru to hide his fear about Sakura's health, "I'll even go ask Jiji if I have to!"
"Naruto-baka," Ino grumbled, not removing her eyes from Sakura's sleeping face. "You can't just learn something on your own, sometimes you have to have someone teach you so you can learn." Naruto pouted at her but didn't respond, no one did, because those were almost identical to Sakura's words.
"Alright then," Hotaru agile slipped his feet under him and sat directly in front of the group of children, "Now I can't give each of you one of these, one reason is that there isn't enough to go around," Hotaru said as he pulled out three slips of square paper for everyone to see, "the second reason is that six of you belong to clans and your parents will most likely decide to beat my but for teaching you more then what you should know. So if you six want to learn about your element and how to control it you must have your parents' permission to test it and then you must ask your parents to teach you or to find someone who can teach you, is that understood?"
"Yes sir," most of the children answered
"What do you mean by six of us?" Naruto asked, "What about me and Sakura-chan?"
"Sakura-chan belongs to a civilian family, and I had her ask her parents before we started on this." Hotaru answered, "The other is you." Hotaru held one piece of paper out to Naruto, "Since you're an orphan you're technically under lord Hokage's protection and I should technically ask him before I test you on your chakra nature but I doubt he'll care too much." Naruto took the paper and stared down at it for a moment before looking curiously up at the pale blonde man. "Concentrate on summoning your chakra to your fingers," Hotaru advised, "as small as you can make it, otherwise you'll end up ruining the paper." Naruto looked at his friends, Shikamaru and Ino both nodded encouragingly at him, before he closed his eyes and took a deep steady breath. It took him a moment to feel out where his chakra was, but once he did he imagined creating a fishing line from the immense and endless cloud of his signature and carefully pulling it towards his right hand.
The paper split in half, prompting Naruto to open his eyes
"Congratulations Uzumaki-san," Hotaru's face slipped into a fond, almost proud, looking smile, "you too are wind natured."
"But sensei isn't that really rare?" Ino asked in surprise, her eyes wide
"Yes it is," Hotaru agreed with a bob of his head, "only one in every two or three thousand have it, to have two children of the same age to have wind nature is a one in a million shot."
"Dose the paper do something different for different natures?" Shikamaru asked, curiously, tilting his head to the side
"Yes," Hotaru answered with a smile, "the paper will get wet for water nature, crinkle for lightning, split for wind, grumble for earth, and turn to ashes for fire." The children each looked at each other and bobbed their heads in silent agreement, they were going to go home and hound their parents to get the test and then the training so they too can specialize in their element.
"Can you teach us more about the elements?" Hinata asked softly, turning her purely violet eyes onto Hotaru, "you said countering one element with one that's stronger than it, does that mean that wind is weaker against another element?"
"Yes that's right," Hotaru agreed, turning serious as he realized that now he would have to go into detail about the subject at hand. He pulled out a scroll from his back pouch and proceeded to draw out the five elements and their relation to each other. From there he proceeded to show them the sub-categories of natures, the combined natures that made up most elemental bloodlines. He spent the rest of the lunch period teaching the children about elemental chakras, halfheartedly making sure they ate their lunches while he taught.
