The young Otsutsuki found herself in a classroom full of children, their teacher having gotten sick. She had actually been wandering around to familiarize herself with the environment and get a lay of the land, when she'd been approached by a Chuunin. Her headband had given her away as a shinobi, and since most shinobi had basic skills in Ninjutsu, the Chuunin had assumed that she would be able to at least demonstrate to the class how Ninjutsu worked while they looked for a more suitable replacement for the day.

Arisu, not one to turn down an opportunity for money, which she was currently in very short supply of, agreed to demonstrate and work with the students in the meantime. She wasn't all that opposed to it regardless, it would help her blend in as just some shinobi who did missions. Arisu didn't want to be a freeloader or pretender. While she was a shinobi of Kirigakure, she needed to act like one and be decent at her job.

Unfortunately, this was a new concept for her, as she wasn't really much of a teacher, and didn't really know all that many jutsu herself. On her own home dimension, she'd learned to mold and shape her chakra, but she hadn't actually been able to learn too much before she had been chosen to come here. She knew really the basics, and had picked up a few new things since arriving here, but she probably wasn't much more knowledgeable in different ninjutsu that they could use than they were.

What she could do, however, she would.

The students were honestly quite well behaved, considering they were children. It was perhaps because of her eyepatch, the headband with Kiri's symbol engraved on the metal. As a shinobi, danger was always abound, and she was a bit mysterious, so the children could make theories about why she had the eye patch in the first place. Perhaps she had been on some sort of mission, and had been tortured after capture. Maybe some fight had happened, and she'd gotten a kunai in her eye.

Whatever the theory they could come up with, she was something of a danger, and had experienced combat, and so commanded some respect. Arisu, for her part, stood like one who was to command a lot of respect and authority. She'd learned to act with nobility and grace, and as she was tall for a female, her lack of slouch made her seem even taller than she was.

"Today, I'm going to teach you all how to mold your chakra into ninjutsu." she spoke, her voice a monotone and almost bored tone. Her eye scanned lazily over the crowd, almost judging each person it landed on. The faces were oblivious to her tone, excitement showing on them all. These children didn't realize that this was incredibly important to their progress as shinobi, and that what they learned today would help them become dangerous shinobi, warriors and pawns of the village.

"I'm sure you all know the Clone Technique. It's very simple, and completely intangible, but useful." Her statement was greeted with many different nodding replies from the children. That was good. She had heard that knowledge of the technique was a requirement for graduation, and that it was one of the most basic jutsu one could learn.

"Good. Then I will show you all the next level of the technique."

"The problem with the Clone Technique is two fold. You can only make two clones per casting, and they aren't physically tangible, and thus don't give any indicators like foot prints or shadows. The technique I'm going to show you still has the same problem with tangibility, but it does allow you to create more clones with a single casting, which in turn allows you to save chakra in the long run and more reliably makes it more difficult to identify you."

Of course, Arisu had vast reserves of chakra to pull from, and a natural affinity to ninjutsu that didn't require elemental chakra, so there was no difference in cost for her to use the Haze Clone Technique instead of the regular Clone Technique, and with a lesser amount of hand seals required, there was absolutely no reason not to use it instead. With normal shinobi, the difference in cost might discourage use, as despite it still being relatively low, it was still more than the Clone Technique for most.

She slowly and deliberately made the hand seals while explaining the properties of the technique. "The Haze Clone Technique, as opposed to the Clone Technique, allows for you to make 10 clones instead of simply 2 with a single cast. I don't think I need to explain why this is more useful." As she said this, 10 copies of herself appeared, 5 on either side of her. "This is not restricted to a single cast, and can be used multiple times in succession. You'll mold your chakra almost exactly the same as you would when making normal clones, so it shouldn't be too hard. Focus instead on making a larger quantity."

And so she watched the students attempt to do so. Some were more successful than others, making 5 or 6 clones, while others struggled with making 2 or 3. With practice, that would change, but it was a decent start. During this, the Chuunin had returned with a replacement for the day, seeming impressed with how quickly she had taught them something.

"Feel free to come back and offer more lessons, they seemed to like learning from you. And your payment as well for a job well done." He said, offering her an envelope. "I'll send your mission report with commendations to the Administration Building. Name and Rank?"

Arisu took the envelope in hand. "Arisu Tsuki, Genin." she replied, giving a bow and leaving. She wouldn't mind coming back to teach some more as long as she received payment each time. Money was necessary for new tools.
