Description: A skill gained by ninja who have begun to specialize in the art of stealth. The ninja becomes very light and quick on their feet. Their movements no longer create sound and they now gain a natural skill for hiding and camouflage.

As per tradition with her clan, when Miyako reached of age she received a baby swallow to grow up with and become friendly with. Her swallow was named Arashi, meaning storm, and boy was their first few years together just that. Arashi was never too friendly towards Miyako, often it would fly off by itself to try to escape her. But Miyako, not being one to be discouraged easily, always managed to track down Arashi.

One day when Arashi had flown off, the naive bird was captured by collectors. Arashi had never been held in a cage before, so he began to thrash about making wild screeches. Miyako as always was trying to track down the silly swallow when she heard him screeching. Miyako quickly rushed to where she heard the noise coming from, and hiding behind some bushes she saw Arashi being held in a wooden cage. She quietly moved among the bushes closer to him. Arashi spotting Miyako, began trashing more violently trying to get out before she could get to him. This attracted the attention of one of the collectors and he started walking towards the bird with a knife in hand. Miyako, seeing that this wouldn't end well for either of them, quickly dashed out of the bushes and snatched up the cage and made a run for it. As she was running through the woods, Miyako could hear the collector close behind. She quickly tore through the cage and threw Arashi in the air so he could fly off. Arashi quickly took flight and started flying away as fast as he could.

Suddenly struck by why Miyako had just done for him, he turned around and shot himself at the collector, scratching and clawing at the man's face. Once he had fallen to the ground, blinded and in pain, Miyako and Arashi ran off to home together, Arashi flying low next to Miyako keeping pace with her.

During the customary battle with Arashi's parents to test the bond between the two before they entered the academy, Miyako had leapt in between Arashi's father's claws and Arashi. The older bird's claws racked across Miyako's right eye. This incident would give Miyako her tell-tale scar. Miyako and Arashi won their fight, demonstrating their unmatched loyalty and respect for each other.

Miyako's time at the academy was well, uneventful at best. If she remembered to show up to class instead of hiking all day, she spent her time staring out the window. Her grades from written assignments weren't spectacular, at times she barely managed to get a passing mark. It wasn't that she wasn't bright, it was that she didn't apply herself. She was too preoccupied with wanting to be outside, exploring with Arashi.

What was remarkable was when it came time for Miyako to demonstrate her abilities. Her and Arashi were able to pull off techniques flawlessly together. Perfectly in synch with one another. It surprised most people to see a slacker be able to pull off well... anything. She also excelled in tracking exercises and was able to demonstrate great knowledge in local terrain and vegetation. She managed to graduate with decent marks because of this.

Academically Miyako's experience was almost non-existent. Her friendships didn't exactly fill the void. Because of her absent minded behavior in class and the fact that she had a bird by her side all the time, she was often picked on. She was often called "bird brain" or told she's never be a ninja. Because of this Miyako never really tried to be friends with anyone in her class. And whenever someone tried to be friendly towards her, Miyako always treated them with disinterest. Why would they want to be friends with her now when just a day before they were mocking her? Because she didn't have any real friends, Miyako relied on Arashi and her mother for company. Her mother was a the woman to go to for rare berries and seeds for the clan. So instead of going out with her classmates after school, she'd rush home to learn from her mother. She became very close to her mother. She felt like she didn't need any friends so long as she had her mother and Arashi.

Name: Kage Shuriken no Jutsu - Shadow Shuriken Technique
Rank: D
Type: Weaponry
Range: Mid (5m - 10m), Far (10+)
Element: N/A
Description: It's an extremely simple technique where two shuriken, like the Fūma Shuriken, are piled one onto another and thrown simultaneously. However, depending on the way it's used, it can prove its absolute efficiency. The trick is to somehow draw the enemy's attention towards the upper shuriken. Then, to deal with the path of the lower shuriken. If the enemy notices both shuriken, the technique ends up losing all of its efficiency.
Chakra Cost: 3

Name: Kage Senbon no Jutsu - Shadow Senbon Technique

Description: This technique seems to be a variation of the Shadow Shuriken Technique, replacing shuriken with senbon. The user throws at the same time a senbon with a distracting item attached to it, and another one without it, so that the opponent will only react to the more obvious projectile and won´t notice the other senbon. However, if the opponent recognises the trick behind it, this technique is easy to evade.
