It felt weird having his chakra being sucked out of him in such a forceful way. It was like this thing was a vacuum and his chakra was dust that had been collected at one spot and it, along with all surrounding dust particles, was sucked up so fast that there was a loud noise within the machine that could be heard as the dust settled inside it. After it was all said and done, there was just an eerie silence, leaving nothing but the after effects to be felt. What Jaakuna wasn't anticipating was how costing the whole ordeal was. Immediately, Jaakuna felt it. He could feel that about a fifth - maybe more - of his collective chakra reserves were taken. And he felt as though he was slightly more prone to chakra overuse than he was before it happened. Though, as he would note the conditions of his fellow teammates, he wasn't nearly as fatigued from it than they were. Kiku specifically seemed to have suffered the most. He couldn't place it because he wasn't one of those sensor types, but there was something odd about the frequency of her deep panting that gave off the impression that she was way more fatigued than Jaakuna and Shizuka were. Well, it didn't matter [i]who[/i] was more fatigued. Okay, maybe it did a little bit, but Jaakuna wasn't going to focus on the negative; that wasn't his style. Instead, he would press on as he followed his team's suit into whatever direction the rest of them had went. As they would arrive, however, it was as if someone forgot to leave the light switch on because, as far as his emerald eyes could see, Jaakuna couldn't see shit. He smelled a lot of different scents - mostly death. Though, he caught the aroma of lavender. That was a welcomed fragrance, especially amidst the putrid vibes he got from just his sense of smell. But that did nothing for his sense of sight, so he would rely on the others to help with that...at least until Kurin so kindly requested for some light. Jaakuna thought about it just for a brief moment and then he obviously remembered he had raiton. "[color=goldenrod]Oh right,[/color]" Jaakuna would say quietly, mirroring the same, low-hushed tone that his team had used. He gathered lightning chakra into the base of his left palm. It wasn't much, but it was enough to illuminate a few feet around Jaakuna, which gave Jaakuna a visual of his team. When he looked around, he took notice that the lavender scent came from Kiku. "[color=goldenrod]Oh, so [i]that's[/i] where it came from,[/color]" Jaakuna said, finding himself sniffing the air again. "[color=goldenrod]You smell nice.[/color]" He complimented Kiku, giving her a grin, though he would get back into serious mode and look towards Kurin. "[color=goldenrod]I've got lightning nature, though I'm not as skilled with it as I am with fire. I'm capable enough to use it in small doses, so if you give me an opening, all will be well in the kingdom.[/color]" Jaakuna assured Kurin and his team about what he would be able to do when the right time came.[/indent][/color]
