The Second Jutsu: Gale Claw Crash

The following night, Tsachi drags a tired & even crankier than usual Ino out of her tent & away from the others. "What the hell is this? I need my beauty sleep ya know!", Ino says angrily before yawning & adding, "Dammit, I just yawned. Yawning causes wrinkles!". Tsachi has to resist slapping the young blonde, but he does so & responds, "If you want to learn your jutsu, shut up & listen. We all have responsibilities here, so deal with it.". Ino shuts up & Tsachi takes out a scroll marked with a bird, "These signs are the key to your jutsu, known as Gale Claw Crash. You already know how to use Wind chakra, making this easier than teaching Naruto already, so.....", he rolls out the scroll & looks at it before stepping back & putting his hands together.

The wind begins to blow & Tsachi's hand starts to glow. The wind circles around his hand, almost like it's completely being controlled by him & his chakra. After a second, a bright green claw has replaced Tsachi's hand & he slashes upwards, sending the claw into the air. It flies up before exploding, making a sound like a clap of thunder as a massive blast of wind blows down on them. "That, Ino, is the power of the Gale Claw Crash. Use it as a melee attack & slice your enemies up close, send it to them from afar, either way is good. With practice, you can even trigger when it explodes. Speaking of practice, it's time you get started."

After a hour, Ino growls & yells, "THIS JUTSU IS STUPID! I CAN'T DO IT!". Tsachi sits up & inquires, "What is it then Ino? What's stopping you?". Ino drops to her knees & starts crying loudly, causing Tsachi to stand up & walk over to her. "I...it....it's just too hard! I'm not that good!", Ino states. Tsachi kneels down in front of Ino & slaps her, hard, hard enough to leave a mark. "Pull yourself together Ino. This is the easy part, it's only getting harder from here dammit & I won't have someone I put faith in do this. So either you give up being a ninja, go be a model or a mom or whatever the fuck you want; or you get up, stop bitching & put in some real effort, I know you can do this. So, what's it gonna be?", Tsachi declares as Ino rubs her cheek. Ino stands up, & with a determined look on her face puts her hands together.

She smiles at Tsachi as she looks down at the scroll & does the hand-signs slowly, then stops & repeats them, faster the 2nd time around.

The wind picks up, & it forms around Ino. The chakra around her moves to her hand, followed by the wind blowing around her, forming a bright green claw. She gets excited & starts dancing around, "I did it, I did....", & in the next moment the claw explodes like it did just a short time ago. This time however, its effects were much more devastating. "INO, NO!", Tsachi cries out as he sees the young kunoichi fly back into a tree. He rushes over & picks up her limp & bloody body, "Silly girl, you should've been more careful.", Tsachi says while rocking back & forth, clinging to Ino. After a moment he lays her down & states, "I'll make you better, I promise.".

The next morning the others found both Ino & Tsachi passed out in a small crater. Ino looked fine, but what scared them was Tsachi; how he was motionless, yet his eyes were still open, they had rings in them, & they were dark grey.

Honestly though, even if she won't admit it, Sakura Haruno is her best friend & has a relationship similar to that of Naruto & Sasuke. She works in flower shop, helping her mom when she isn't doing missions, & when she isn't doing that she's trying to lose weight. Ino is definitely obsessed with looks, both that of hers & others, leading people to believe she's superficial, which is probably true!
