She quirked an eyebrow at him, letting go of irritation to try and assess how competent he was. "Do me a favor and stay sane until after the jutsu, huh? I'd hate to explain to your father why you suddenly became a bonehead." She bared her teeth in a wicked smile, and watched his eyes focus again.
Then Tsume took a breath, settling herself on the table. He'd leaned forward -- that was good. If he collapsed she didn't want him hitting the floor. This way, he'd just slump onto the wood. "All right, look. The jutsu pulls together whatever bone pieces are out of line and speeds healing -- what would take weeks takes minutes. It's not taught often, because the damage it does to any soft tissue in the way isn't usually worth it." Changing from a wolf to a human or the other way around wasn't possible with broken bones, which was the only reason she knew it.
She licked her lips, rolling the sleeves up absently, her fingers curled to hide the missing claws. "If the bones are out of line... it hurts." She caught his eye and added, "A lot. If they're not, it hurts, but only a little." Either way, she doubted he'd be functional afterward. "And," Tsume added after a moment, "I've never taught this jutsu to someone who's not Inuzuka." She gave him a wry smile. "There'll be some guesswork involved." |
