"I'm not sure anyone else could survive such an influx."

"It'll probably require less, for others."

"A fair point. If you wish to attempt to gather more students, I will wait."

"Thank you." To the Keres: "Darling, would you like to try?"

"I believe I would, yes."

She holds out her hand.

She takes it.

And: chakra!

Chakra? ...Aha, chakra.

"That is a strange feeling."

"I wouldn't know to say. I'm used to it, after all."

"Well, you can take it from me, then."

Quick kiss. "I think Eliana will be interested, too - likely Mora as well, but I think less so, and I do want to conserve some chakra. Though I could also start the lesson with you two, and get them caught up once I've rested."

"I think it makes sense to start with us, then."

"Alright."

And the first lesson: identifying chakra and moving it about your body, which might be complicated for Ellayania. Usually you're supposed to move the chakra to your hands or forehead, and try to stick or repel a leaf to your skin. (She explains in detail how this works, and can let them feel her moving her chakra through her hands in that pattern.)

This is indeed somewhat more complicated in Ellayania's case. But she does have a fully activated sharingan, so things balance out.

And then she walks them through a few more basic exercises - "Do you two want to learn an actual technique? We can pretty much keep infinitely doing assorted chakra control exercises, though many of those are directly useful anyways..."

"A technique would be good."

She hums, mentally flipping through her known techniques for something useful but not chakra intensive nor complicated. "There's the transformation technique, though I don't know if Ellayania can already shift her appearance?"

"Not without intensive effort."

"Then I think it'll work well." And she explains the transformation technique - it's a ninjutsu, not an illusion, so it's an actual physical change, albeit hard to exploit to change yourself dramatically - in fairly fine detail, and demonstrates a few variants.

They both pick it up fairly easily, Ellayania slightly more quickly than the Keres.

Good!!!

She doesn't really believe in teaching people the overly simplified modern hand-sign system, and Ellayania has the sharingan, anyways, so when she starts showing them the basics of elemental manipulation next it involves hand-signs to help focus on chakra but not much else, just raw motion.

Then by day's end they'll have made a decent start on learning ninjutsu. Though Ellayania's chakra capacity proves larger than the Keres'. Which is not unexpected, but still somewhat... vexing.

Hisame probably doesn't help by finding her girlfriend's vexation adorable.

Not as much as you'd think, no.
