As far as it being ‘blue’, I’ve never seen that before. I don’t quite know what it means. I AM quite sure it means something, perhaps closing some doors and opening others.” He releases the sharingan, looking somewhat tired out by it. “Regardless, I need to change my approach from what I had planned. Stay here and drink your tea while I review some scrolls.”
You try to drink your tea and relax, but it’s kind of hard to do that. What, was your chakra just fucked up? Was it better than normal, or worse than normal? Why? It’s hard not to speculate. Maybe it had something to do with the way your mother treated you, or maybe it was a consequence of something else entirely? Maybe it’s just a consequence of overwhelmingly favoring water jutsu? But other people could favor certain types of jutsu without turning ‘blue’, so what gives?
Shigure is gone for about ten minutes when he returns carrying a small scroll. Mildly dusty until he wipes it off. “I’m going to teach you Sensing Water Sphere. I doubt you’ve heard of it.”
“No, Shigure-Sensei.”
“Well, most villages maintain a giant sensing sphere of one kind or another. It’s literally a big sphere made out of a certain element, in this case water, which is highly sensitive to changes in chakra. It’s a chakra radar, so to speak. This version will be miniaturized, able to be held in the palm of your hand or be seen floating nearby. You will see, or feel it ripple when chakra is being used nearby or disturbed nearby.”
“That sounds… Useful, sensei.”
“Indeed.” He forms the Inu seal (The dog seal.). A fist with his right hand, covered with his left hand’s palm. He generates some chakra in his fist, and opens it, revealing an orb of water that expands from the size of a marble to the size of a melon while he waves his left hand over it in a rubbing motion about a centimeter away from the orb at all times until he’s satisfied with its size. He lets it go, allowing the water to just simply levitate where he left it. He moves backwards and forwards to demonstrate how the orb is following along with his movements.
He explains further. “You will be able to see ripples in the water’s surface indicating the direction a chakra signature is coming from. If you’re touching the orb you won’t need to be actively looking at it. Generate chakra like you’re preparing a jutsu now.”
You form Tora and generate some power in your core. The sensing sphere immediately starts rippling, concentric waves coming from your exact direction.
