Eight Gates ~ First Gate ~ Kaimon
Name: V
Rank: Chunin
Age: 15

The young V looked at the drawings and symbols printed on the ragged scroll that Kisaki gave him a few days ago. He saw that going through the first stages of the opening one's chakra gates will be difficult and painful. Luckily, he had pumped his body to the point that it can at least handle the initial effects for the first few times. He had no idea what it's gonna feel like when he opens Kaimon, but he could guess it'd be kind of ecstatic and deteoriating at the same time. "Ookay... let's see what kind of hell I'm charging into." For 2 weeks; 2 hours per day, he'd sit around places of Kumogakure - preferably the ones closest to nature, to meditate. He'd sit on the top of the Mountain, in the middle of a forest when there was dim lighting, and near a waterfall on top of a rock. Within his meditation, he consolidated his chakra and practiced controlling his flow, as well as slowly building mental/spiritual energy. Of course for a Chunin, the progress was gradual but significant. Sometimes, his mind would waver off and he'd lose focus; other times he was right on spot. You little devil..... let's see where you are now.... he pondered. On the final day of this exercise, V was able to harmonize with his chakra flow well enough that he pinpointed the location of the Kaimon, which was centralized in his brain. The Kaimon can quintuple his body's fighting power. Now the trick was to open it, something V was clueless about it until he realized that opening the first gate has to come naturally. Meaning he has to push himself to garnering enough stress and power to forcefully push his body limits above 20% and as close to 100% as possible. There're many ways to do that, but from his knowledge of Taijutsu, he only knew one to start with. Back to the damn basics. Dem weights.

The next day V had put on ankle weights. These things would pretty much pull him to the ground as much as they can, but once he's completely adapted to them, it'll all be good. His parents scolded him for being late to the household every day, but assured that this was all for the clan's sake. Near a river where boulders seemed to crowd around was V's ideal training spot. He repeated his usual diagnosis of an exercise program; push-ups, sit-ups, squats, and running. Eventually, the human body will evolve. On the first day of running, he was exhausted after just one minute. He sighed, gasped, panted, and even choked. He sat on on a rock and just ran in place, as if he was convincing himself that he was training. But as the week passed, he was able to run 1 kilometer with decreasingly less fatigue as well as time interval. After four months, V felt like he was running like he usually would before this intense training. Even more was that he felt like his mind was clearer. It happened subconsciously, but V had expanded his body limit by a lot. For brief periods of time, he experienced large amounts of stamina and energy, but after that declined, it took a decent length time for him to be able to work hard again. It was exhausting work, and from it he received a handful of scars all over his body. At times, he can hardly breathe. But he survived and endured.

V began practicing on the boulders now. The strength, speed, and endurance he bulked up was meant to exercise his muscle power as much as he can. With the weights still on, he kicked and punched at the rocks until his fists bleed. For the first 5 days, he couldn't make even the smallest of the boulders move; just vibrate slightly. "Gaahhhh!!!! Break goddamn it!!" he yelled. He punched at the thing as if he was mad at it, which from the eyes of those who'd witness him training, giggles echo around V's ears. "Geehhhhh!!!! Muuhhh......." He kept on grunting and struggling. But after a few months or so, in an intense outbreak of strength, V felt a powerful surge of chakra flowing through him. It channeled throughout his body and expanded his muscles a little. he felt a little "click" go inside his head, then he heard a flood, like a waterbed bursting. In one punch, he shattered the small boulder into pieces. The rubble scattered across the ground, as recently pulverized dust clouded V's feet. V huffed and puffed after that punch. His fist had a superficial bruise on it.
"What the...." he muttered, amazed at the power that he displayed. At once, he felt renewed - invincible. V realized that through his training, he practically forced his brain to remove the limiter on him so that his body could perform greater feats- hence the opening of the Kaimon. "I..... I did it...! Hahaha..... the power is mine. You old man, you probably tried to kill me. But I've learned it. This is al-" The power drained from him and he felt weak, kinda exhausted. His arms felt heavier than he expected and he struggled to stand. He sat on the ground as the temporary power he gained subsided, and his body was back to "normal". Because of his previous training, his body was able to handle the after-effects of generating chakra throughout the body."Tch.... t-t-this... is nothing. The war..... I'm going to win in the war..." he said. It took V two days to recover from the stress on his body. Although the gates were indeed taxing on the user, V surmised that it'd take more than just a few gates for it to be actually life-threatening with the endurance and stamina that he has.
Putting in 5 day intervals between each use, V was able to consciously open the Kaimon and close it by will, gradually extending the length of time he can muster and maintain that power.
Once he has gotten a handle on it, the next thing on V's mind would be the next gate - the Kyumon.

Raiton ~ Gian ~ False Darkness
Rank: Genin
Age: 13

Standing in a horse-rooted stance, V stood on top of a small mountain just outside of Kumo's central. It was a barren background; lifeless trees and solid ground. It's amazing that a few outcasts were inhabiting this area. But so long as they didn't bug each other, V could go on utilizing the new Raiton technique that his father showed him. Deeply disappointed from his second failure at the Chunin Exams, V strove to achieve new techniques to develop power and versatility. he had been practicing just for 4 days now, and he thinks that he has gotten a hang over it. It's a Raiton attack taht takes up nearly 1/4 of his chakra levels given his current chakra control condition, known as "Gian". V formed the Tiger, Rabbit, and the Snake handseals at a moderate pace, keeping each posture as perfect as possible when he learned it back in the Academy in order for him to mold chakra near his gullet. Once that chakra has been focused, he'd convert the chakra into the lightning nature, something particularly hard for him to do. He had to imagine static electricity and high frequency waves all in one in order for him to elementally convert it. "Raiton: Gian!" he spewed out a small, distorted lightning bolt from his mouth. A failure. V fell back as he felt his throat went numb, and the sound of an explosion occured after the bolt hit a rock. A decent hole on the rock. "Grr......" he growled.

He tried several more days over a course of 3 days. "Raiton: Gian!" Practice makes perfect. After trials and errors and learning from his failures, V was able to stabilize the chakra while it was being converted and learned to expel it in the form of a big blast. A great bolt of lightning emitted from V's mouth and traveled at a decent speed, pulverizing several boulders that it went through. "Whoa! Damn those thunder gods...." The attack potency and lethality of the attack went beyond V's expectations. This would be a particularly devastating technique for a Genin to use in the CHunin Exams. Now he just has to master utilizing it properly.
Over the next week ,he continued using Gian, even to the point that he can even split the bolt into several spears to attack the enemy from multiple angles.
At the end of his training, he was sweating like crazy. "Whew..... now I can kick some Genin ass...."

Raiton ~ Four Pillar Bind
Name: V
Rank: Chuunin
Age: 19

Kumogakure was in a dire situation. It was the second war V had to participate in, and this time he would not allow some half-ass punk stab him in the back in the middle of the night. He had to really step up his game now. After receiving his share of information from Kumogakure's jutsu scroll, he picked the most effective jutsu to master before he returned to the battlefield, which was just in 6 days. Armed with a good eye, V pinpointed this technique as one that will be of huge tactical advantage in the battlefield and can be versatile in ways if he can manipulate the jutsu freely. Wielding great chakra control capabilities, V formed the Ram, Boar, Dog, Bird, hare, and Rabbit handseals to erect four 10-meter tall pillars from the ground. These pillars formed something like a square, with a good 20 meter distance between each. With his Raiton affinity ability, he's able to destinate the epicenter from which the four pillars would arise from, so long as it's within 100 meters. Of course, he had to make sure that he's not caught in the area of effect. Still holding the last handseal, V released the Rabbit handseal by quickly sliding his hands away from each other and down by his side, thus activating the technique instantly. Electricity erupted from the four pillars, shocking and immobilizing anyone within its blast radius, which is in this case, no one. Still, the earth would be scarred a little for a while. After two seconds, the lightning disappeared into sparks, and five seconds after that, the pillars slowly went back down to the earth, leaving it as if it was undisturbed. V applauded himself for his achievement, but knew he could play around with it some more.

He realized that the height of the pillars were much shorter than he had expected, and decided to fix that flaw in his jutsu design. "I need to sharpen the technique as if it was a blade..... and then strike it at my enemy." He clapped his hands together to channel some chakra to his hands. Then he performed the handseals, again ending with the Rabbit seal, and with a mighty will he forcefully rose the pillars to a considerable height. "Guuuuuhhhhhhh........" as he propelled the earth from the ground. Now the rock pieces were each a good 20 meters in height, with increased distance between each and every one of them. The resulting electricity dazzled V as if it were a firework show.

Several days later, V performed the Four Pillar Bind technique once more, now with much greater efficiency than before. Four gigantic pieces of rock rose, with V standing on one of them just as it erupted from the ground, lifting him 20 meters in the air. The lightning electricfied anything within the borders of the "square" the rocks created, leaving V out of it but still able to witness what was going on. After that, the pillars went back down as V got off. The man chuckled.

Seven Swords Dance
Name: V
Rank: Genin
Age: 10-21

V had seven wakizashis on him, supplied by Jack-sensei, who'd be passing on a legendary art to his pupil. Jack does not expect that V will be able to master the technique and blunder up, but because V is so insistent and does have kenjutsu talent, he decided to teach him this skill. "Listen up, kidd", he said while sitting down on the grass. "This is probably the hardest Kenjutsu style to utilize in Kumogakure. I'm pretty sure you're gonna stab yourself in the eye, but good thing there's a hospital nearby. Lord Killer bee was the one to develop this technique, and it got him out of many hardships life threw at him. The very style of this technique will take you decades to master. The mechanism behind this technique is speed, reflexes, and unpredictability. You spin around randomly and do all of this good stuff that I really can't express unless I show you. Just remember - float like a butterfly.... and sting like a bee. Or what Lord Killer Bee would always say before skewering someone. Anyway, you have a good eye on swords so watch."

Jack took out 7 short blades and placed them all around his body in a manner that utterly confused V and would have easily made Jack-sensei easily ridiculed. A blade in his mouth, another tightly held between his neck and right shoulder, one held in the middle of his right arm which was bent over sensei's shoulder, one between his left arm and armpit, another in between the middle of his arm, the sixth wrapped around his hip, and the last one held in between his leg. "Sensui..... you look offfffff...." joked V. "Shut up. Now watch." he replied. Then, Jack whammed right towards at a tree at a surprisingly incredible speed. Next, he span around like the reputed Goku-sama (monkey king/flying monkey) in the most weird pattern ever - no there was no pattern, and repeatedly hit the tree dozens of times, stabbing it over and over. With each quick thrust, Jack retracted his blade and sent another one at an equally fast speed. It took a while for V, who was observing and could hardly keep track, to notice the trick. Jack was changing hands and positions of each blade as it was launched around him, targeting different locations on the tree. How does he do that...... pondered V. As a Valkus extremely intuitive and curious about sword fighting, he has never seen such swordplay ever before. This was peculiar to V.... and whatever was peculiar to him earned his respect and effort to try to master. Then, Jack flipped around like a tornado, swinging his blades at a very quick speed while literally walking on his hands. Alas, Jack ended his performance with three swords thrown at the tree, which finally chopped it in two. Jack coughed up a bit afterwards. "It's tricky. It takes even a toll on me. You won't be able to come close to replicating that after just seeing it once, but you can get started by working on your attack sped, flexibility, dexterity with your arms and legs, and swordplay tricks. Throw in a bit of cleverness in there. I don't care. Just surprise me, V-man," he said.

And so for one month, V worked on the skills Jack had apprised him of. He learned to flip and jump around in mid-air as quickly as possible, put some meat on his arms so the weight of his body is as proportional as possible to the rest of his body, and practiced switching hands with blades, then trying to swing it all over his body and catching it with his joints. Oh, the numerous injuries V had suffered from that. Jack supervised him for the majority of the workout, telling him to keep his speed and size constant while he just works on footwork and arm-work. he felt like a fool, but could see the advantage he could have over his enemies. Jack showed it to him several times. V got his seven daggers, placed relatively in the same spots that jack had placed his, and began his dance. He somersaulted his way towards a column of trees, and began stabbing them all over. He released two of his blades, and stabbed two trees while moving. He stopped and placed those two blades back where they were, and moved on to another row of trees, where he used the two knives near his leg and the one wrapped around his shoulder on the trees. It felt, to V, that he was doing impressively well, even though it's not nearly as proficient as Jack's. Everything was going well, until V hit his leg on a tree, interrupting the technique altogether. "Ow!" V grasped his knee as Jack came running along. "That was pretty good. Now you just need years of practice and refinement. Anyway, I've pretty much done my work here. Remember, just don't stab yourself, 'kay?"

V had the video of Jack-sensei's Seven Swords Dance memorized. Of course, as a swordsman, he can't replicate it, rather he has to know what to do and do his own thing. It's not a matter of whether he pulls it off well or poorly, but what he does. He slightly changed the positions of the swords and how they're held, so they're more loose and feel more natural. Alas, he went right at a wooden dummy, and buzz-sawed around unpredictably, stabbing him in so many places while twirling around the dummy. He held that stance for 20 seconds, for he ended up breaking his bad and stabbing himself in the leg from improper use. "Shhiittt..... I'm never going to get this...." he sighed.

After he became a Chunin, he revisited this technique once again, now that he's been freed of Jack sensei's tutelage. He found his answer. He realized that he had to put in a little playfulness and passion in order to master the dance. For the next five months, he trained his flexibility and acrobatic prowess; working on stretching and bending his joints in order to move his limbs as freely as possible. His father deplored V's method of training as something that a ballet dancer would do, but his mother convinced him that a ninja should have the skills of every profession, including ballet dancing. After warming up, he tried executing the dance dozens more times over and over until he can get the "gist" of the entire technique down. Eventually, after finding his own way and putting the blades around his body where he's most comfortable with, he used the agility he gained from previous trainings to execute the attack. This time, he lasted a good 40 seconds, an impressive achievement seeing as he only stabbed himself in the gut once. Still, the numerous marks on the trees was something for V to admire. "Ahh..... this is good. I'm starting to get it...." he said as blood spilled from his mouth.

At age 21, having had received massive body prowess from his Hachimon training, V had the bulk, finesse, and speed to surpass Jack-sensei's dance, and perhaps even rival Killer Bee's. He had practiced the dance every chance he got, including in one A-rank mission where he completely overwhelmed and blitzed his opponent. Now was the time to master the technique that he had captured his attention. On he field was another Valkus clan member, "D", who was just 3 places below V in terms of Kenjutsu prowess. V begged D to fight with him, because D has a very good eye in tracking things down. With the knives placed in their usual spots, V launched himself at D. "Come at me, V!" shouted D. D ran at V with a moderate velocity, a sword raised above his head, trying for a Kendo strike that'd interrupt the ridiculous dance that he is seeing right now. But V just hopped around it, stepsiding away from the attack in an instant. And that's when D retreated to the defense. V slashes and striked at him from angles he never knew were impossible to strike from. D had to parry every single one of these odd and fast attacks with extreme difficulty. He could not keep track of V's attack pattens or speed. D tried to get away from him, but V followed him the moment he took a step back and kept on spinning around like a bee and thrusting blades at him from his shoulder, legs, or arms. D realized that what made the technique so lethal was its unpredictability, its inability to be read, and the constant attacks that not only throws the opponent off but pressures the opponent to react on instinct leaving no time to think or attack at close range. Alas, V stabbed D multiple times in the arm, for he was aiming for the vitals. He flipped one sword in the air, got on his arms, and launched two strokes at D with his feet, which landed successfully. He rotated back on his legs to catch the blade that was in the air, and brought it down at the side of D's head, nearly cutting off his ear. V immediately kneed a blade at D from a meter away after that, which D narrowly block. V finished his dance by aiming two swords at a completely open D, but stopped just a centimeter from his chest. "I beat you" he said.

D fell to the ground and panted. "Man.... I couldn't breathe cause you kept on attacking me. I almost suffocated..."
V sheathed all his blades and gave a hand to D to help him get up. "Oh yes.... my swords are quite something aren't they? What do you think? I worked hard on it, so you should give me something to feed on......." said. D took V's hands. "Y'know what. You just may be the best swordsman I've ever met, V. You like that? Well eat it and choke it down. I'm going to the hospital." Disgruntled, D headed to get his wounds checked. V turned to the other direction, and chuckled away. "Float like a butterlfy.... sting like a bee....."

Canopy Method Formation
Name: V
Rank: Special Jounin
Age: 25

His underhanded nature led him to confront a Konoha nin, who was in Kumogakure to smuggle around some drugs and stuff.
Despite his stealth expertise, he was detected and their defenses went up. V hacked them down, but when he questioned the outcast on how he found him out, V discovered that the ninja knew some barrier techniques. Aware that Kumo needs barrier-type people both in missions and back at home, V saw that an opportunity has opened him. He bullied the kid out of some information, and after watching the technique executed a few times, he let the ninja go out of pity... but not before throwing a kunai at his back.

V checked the library for some information on barrier techniques. Overall, V found out they were easy to execute in terms of hand signs, but the trick is concentration and maintenance. He went to see if the technique he saw was in any of the scrolls, and he found the jutsu, although the information on it was limited. He decided to try on the technique here, in the library, where it was quiet and it'd be easy to detect people. V clapped his hands together and molded the chakra. "Kekkai: Tengai Hojin." The chakra he molded compressed into a small sphere in the middle of his abdomen. Then, he expanded it in all directions at the same speed, but it didn't come out right, as 1/4 of the sphere bulged out, so he erected a very deformed shape instead. He could vaguely sense the presence of those within a 20 meter radius of him, except for the area that's been bulged. He dispelled the barrier, and looked around with a hint of sweat, afraid that someone sensed the barrier came out of him for some reason. "pff..... if only it wasn't so damn quiet in here...." V whispered, for some reason. He surmised that he had to have a vivid picture of the barrier in the first place, and to imagine as perfect of a circle as possible. Concentration and maintenance, that's all that matters. Repeating the same thing, this time V held back on the centre as much as possible, then imagined a ring covering how large his barrier would be. The centre expanded to fit into the ring, effectively creating a spherical barrier. Having activated the jutsu, V can "sense" the chakras and presences of everyone within a 50 meter radius. He hopes to increase that distance by a lot someday the more he practices. It was an amazing experience, like he was spying on them. He could tell where people are, whether they're moving or not, and by how much. On the battlefield, this would be advantageous for his team. V moved around, which made the barrier move around too since he set the center to be inside of him. He sensed dozens of people inside the library now, including one who's tapping his foot too much and another who's just slowly flipping books. But V was not addicted to the increased sensitivity. He de-activated the barrier and thumped on a chair from maintaining the jutsu. 'Shhhh!!!!" hushed the librarian.
"Meh....." groaned V.

Shunshin no Jutsu
Name: V
Rank: Genin
Age: 9

Straight up and fresh from the Academy, V practiced one of the basic ninja skills he picked up on but never managed to actually perform. Although a generic jutsu, if mastered, V can attain incredible speeds. Putting his hands together in the "Ram" posture, he charged up the chakra within him. His control over it was faulty, so he ended up using an extraneous amount, but it did the job. He spread the summoned chakra all around his body, supplementing the muscles (especially in the leg and hip area) and increased his blood flow so oxygen and nutrients can get around quicker. The jutsu super-enhanced his ability to run. He removed one hand so that his other hand, which had two fingers pointing up, remained. Hold the technique.... and then.....
"Shunshin no Jutsu!"
With a leap came a great burst of speed, as V's body flickered through the field at a vastly superhuman speed, running nearly a hundred meters in a little over a second. To the eye of a civilian, it'd look like he teleported or flickered out of their sight-line. V himself could barely control it, as when he took his final step, he came to an unsteady halt. He huffed and puffed as the technique exhausted a great deal of his stamina. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. Clearly he needed more practice.

Spoiler:

Hump, hump, hump. Hump, hump, hump. Camel. 14-Year Old Ryuho Mikoto Nakata stared right at the hump backs of the camel that he was riding on. Truthfully, he didn't know what species this animal is from, but it sure did look like a camel. He had rented the beastly for a 20-hour length travel to Taro Town, where the rumored "Bishop" will give a public sermon about the word of "God". There had been many Kamis that have influenced the world, but this particular one had such a great uprising that Konohagakure feared that the religion may weaponrize and militarize themselves to make shinobi. Ryuho had difficulty pronouncing "Christianity", so he simply called it "Kuristanee". The one known as "Father Maxwell" will be at the head of the public assembly, with some Christian ninja guards around him. Apparently the town had been "baptized" by this preacher, so that it was predominately Christian. Several shinobi had been sent already, but there'd be no real action until he saw that the religion could be a legiminate threat. He had with him dual katana, and he was armed with the Nakata clan's Shinshikata ~ The pride of the clan's Kenjutsu. He had none of those busty recently-teenaged girls to accompany him, but he found some pleasure in roaming alone.

At last, he had arrived at Taro town. He looked around and saw very strange, yet simply symbols tapered all around the houses, and even in the biggest building. It seemed to be something of a cross, with a vertical rectangle and a smaller horizontal rectangle right on it. He stopped by a bartender to see what it meant, and after a few suspicious looks, he had been told that the "crucifix" was a sign of "God". Many words were thrown into there that Ryuho did not understand such as "Jesus", 'Iscariot", and "Bible", but then again he never did take great comfort in religion. And he did stick out like a sore thumb. Although he did not wear his extravagant clothing, but rather a plain white haori, people could tell that this man was a foreigner. Ryuho could have sworn he heard the word "Heru" (or maybe it was "Ell") muttered around him.

He had stationed himself right on top of a tradesmen's cart, for the crowd was so large that he had no choice but to watch from on top of a heightened object 20 meters away. There was a small stand somewhere in the middle, but there was what seemed to be a weak amplifier in the Father's hand. The priest spoke. He had a very high-pitched voice, that made the amplfiier somewhat unneccesary, for his natural voice carried just fine throughout the crowd. He said many terms that Ryuho, once again, did not comprehend. But again, he did not plan to understand their religion. He simply was to observe what they did, and if they said anything about crushing the Leaf, then he would act accordingly. With fierce dictation and brutal anger, he would disperse the crowd by slaughtering 100 of them, leap up into the stand, and gut the priest again, again, and again, until his Christian body fell to the ground, and it ascended to where this "Heru" (or maybe 'Ell" - for Ryuho was not sure) place is.

Or that's what he'd say. But Ryuho was not violent, and he did not want to go through violent things again. Rather, to complete this mission, Ryuho would take a laid-back approach, as he'd always done. He would let someone else, someone brash and stupid, take the lead. They would create dissession among the crowd, and allow him to confront the Christians. Ryuho listened intently. Nope....nothing yet. But it does seem like this God fellow is a VERY nice person. I would love to learn about him first thing once I get back home. Ryuho had found God.

He continued to listen. He liked a lot of things that were said. Forgiveness, love, compassion, and sins. In his life, Ryuho needed that. And it provided some level of spiritual comfort that he would never receive anywhere else in his life. It was during his own intent listening to the Preacher's words that the words "And we shall even spread our teachings to the main village Konoha, for we shall baptize the sins of their citizens and promote a more healthy future" did all hell break loose. Smoke bombs were thrown about, and the crowd immediately panicked as three different Konohagakure shinobi thrashed people aside and tried to get to where the Preacher was. Apparently, they thought that the whole baptizing campaign was a direct threat. Ryuho's senses were now alert, and he leapt into the smoke and light and bangs, to find himself confronting a rather large, muscular ninja armed with a large sword. Aside from physique, he didn't look particularly threatening. Sure the guy had swung the broadsword once or twice before, but from his stance, Ryuho judged him to be a clear inferior to his skill. Ryuho smiled and simply asked the guy to step aside so he may knock out the Father. The guy responded by charging him with a straight-forward Kendo charge. Ryuho sidestepped, and made a swift horizontal cut aiming at the guy's neck, but the guy surprisingly ducked below the blade - such reflexes. But Ryuho responded by kicking the guy in the gut, which didn't seem to do much, but he followed it by smacking the bottom of his blade's hilt right on top of the guy's head. Distracted, Ryuho ran towards the guy and delivered a strong vertical slash down on him, which the guy blocked with his arm. He had sacrificed his arm, for it nearly lopped right off, but in exchange, the guy used his arm to grab Ryuho in an armlock, and held him tightly to his chest. The guy reached for his broadsword, chanting his victory and recanting words from the Christian text (once again "Heru" or "Ell" was mentioned). Unable to escape, Ryuho eyed what seemed to be a wakizashi attached to the guy's hip. Reflexively, Ryuho took the blade and stabbed violently into the guy's rib, which stopped from bringing his sword down on Ryuho's back, thus saving him from "heru" (or "Ell...)

Ryuho had targeted a very sensitive point, and so the guy collapsed, bleeding from the side. He will not die. Yare yare..... all this bloody conflict and violence....girls don't like this... Ryuho thought, gravely. Looking around, it looked as if the other ninja had already subjugated the Preacher, and had delivered enough damage to put him in a coma for a few days. By the time, the Konohagakure authorities would have arrived to de-baptize the town. All that was left was the report. Ryuho left the scene with his camel. He would later find out that the blade he used was a Christian dagger, and that the Hell that people spoke of was the worst place in the world.

Teruko looked queerly at Qda, recognizing him as the assailant who attacked her, yet it seems that he was after her ssiter.... in that case, it'd be better if she didn't respond truthfully, for she suspected Qda to be something of a deranged stalker or something, since he followed her all the way to Kumogkaure just to get information on Asami...

"No" she responded, plainly, and shook her head to strengthen her reply.

But then she turned to look at the Raikage. Teruko nodded, but then stopped suddenly, as her eyes widened so slightly. It happened gradually, but it felt like some kind of mechanism in her mind unnerved as she observed the Raikage, who turned out to be Lady Raikage, more and realized right off the pat, a sort of spontaneous, instinctual emotional attraction. She saw Xaverie's incredible body frame- hips, especially the curvy, voluptuous hips. She did not get a good luck, but if she had excellent hips, then she must have had a GRREAAT ass as well, oh - Teruko had reprimanded herself for thinking such an indecent thought.

"Yes, some battle broke out in the middle of your village, and I was..." she said, but she lost herself once again to Xaverie's lewd body. She did not know what it was, but it seemed like the moment she saw Xaverie, she was drawn to her "orbit". She wasn't just curious - she was actually attracted - physically and emotionally to her physique. The most notable trait was the sensual hair. Purple was a color that appealed most favorably to Teruko, but it was the very stylish way it was arranged - an Asian girl's ponytail, that really turned a woman on.

OOC: This is gonna be da final post. NPC will die, leaving control of the thread to Poncho/Zanji's hands.

The Daimyo's reflexes were refined, perceiving extension speeds that any Jounin would normally be caught off guard by. Ignorant of his enemy's blood origin, Baki could see that his Hiramekarei attack had merely dispersed the water mass that replaced the flesh and blood of the Sound Daimyo, splashing and ravaging the angered, bloodlusted swordsman. This shitty critter... he just won't stay dead. Baki thought, as he could see the water reforming and transversing to his right side. Although he did not know what kind of technique the shinobi used, he did know that the bitch was back for a second round, and Baki would be all too ready for him. Re-focusing the chakra that poured through his Hiramekarei, Baki would have already shape-changed his previous projectile into something entirely new. Bringing his sword back to him and tilting it towards the sky - above his head by the time the Sound Daimyo reverted back to his human nature, Baki planned to launch a series of projectiles from the sides and then go for a vertical sword extension to impale the boy. "Gahhh! Take this!!!!" he cried out as if making his last, suicidal attempt to destroy his enemy. Several high-speed chakra projectiles, swerving like guided missiles had left the blade to its target. A skilled fellow, clearly having gone through multitudes of combat affairs, had setup a set of tactical countermeasures against the narrow-minded Baki. he did not notice the Kusanagi 7 meters away from him, although the real issue came from up front. For the Nuibari had punctured into his head without him knowing it - a quick assassin. "Ehh...?" Steering clear of the Gunshot, two of the pellets would aim for the knees. Two for both cathuses on each side. The third set of two aiming to press harshly on the celiac plexus. The last chakra soldiers had passed by the enemy figure - out of his range of contact, only to return from his blind spot to carry out their fateful duty, even with its master practically deceased. The two companions had to take different paths. The silver-haired one to be ruptured through the left frontal lobe angle by one adventurous trooper. Angled further below, the last trajectile would fly to the back of the neck, scratching the airway. He could not carry out the frontal attack that was the second part of HIS finishing combo. In a few seconds, Baki would have slumped to the ground as his brain and skull had been perforated, but a finishing move came out in form of a human-sized water sphere to shorten that time. "H-ho this happen...?" Hitting him flat up front with considerable force, the already helpless, arrogant, horny, manly Baki was knocked straight out of this world by the blue liquid that carried away his tainted soul. What a dumbo.

One weakling cannot do anything against a strong man. But a group of fodders can, and so this was the case. Rejoicing in the power of their numbers, they had successfully driven this Goliath back into his bowels of humiliation, as a one inch piece of shrapnel enhanced by chakra had ripped through the vulnerable cloth and punctured into the legendary eyeball that he had taken from a once-terrible Konohagakure Uchiha shinobi. Popping it immediately, blood would splatter all over from within the headband, although it would not show anything on his skin. writhing agony and excruciating pain would consume poor Zanji, as his inability to acknowledge the stray projectile that had precisely manuevered into his right cathus would also destroy the stolen KKG that he so prized. The training. The time and effort to refine his ability with an Uchiha's Sharingan, granted to an outsider by a heinous doctor. All of that - gone and wasted. Perhaps his life would come to an end, too?

The tyrannical Impaler has been overthrown as this sudden wrenching pain would have taken over his body. The guards who followed afterwards would have taken advantage of this lapse in action, toppling all over Zanji from behind until he's pinned down to the floor. The Bunshins gone, ten men were actually present. They began kicking him in the head while the writing pain of his destroyed eye was still there. Following that were punches to the genitals, stabbings at his hardened head by broken blades, and punching all over his body until they hope they can feel better. unknowingst to them are the chakra chains that Zanji still had on him.

The fodder men who threw the barrage of spears, blade bits, and swords could see that this was a lost fight. Their leader had just been been defeated by a water ball, and without their leader, all was lost. The thirty men who were 20 meters away from Zanji left together in a hurry, returning back to their camp in the outskirts of the Land of Wind. Leaving ten to fight in anger bitterment at how the evil Zanji slaughtered their comrades, hiding behind his rock-hard cocoon.

Fuck my life..... Baki thought. The great legendary sword, Hiramekarei drawn and out in the open, grasped in his burly, muscular hands, he was ready to make his attack on the girl who got in his way. The cloth thrown, it was particularly heavy, literally bringing down the trajectory of the bubble wave with its sheer gravitational weight, causing the chakra-produced jet to fall uselessly on the heated surface, its aim failing to hit the superior Baki in anyway. He had no had this much trouble since those two chicks he bent last week. They kept on struggling and yelling in bed, which annoyed the shit out of this sexual champion. So he got rough, and what ended up happening by the morning came was one bloody orgy. Those junkies stopped moving by then, so they had to be... trashed. Well, these mix of foreigners were starting to bug him to no end. Little pests. Who in the devil's name do they think they are? Barging over here to defend a village not theirs? Honestly, the killer mindset in Baki has been perfectly awakened.

The cloth falling prematurely, he could now see the Otokage drawing out a more legendary sword - the Sword of Kusanagi. The Grass Cutter. What a valuable addition to his collection it would be. Their eyes met; the Daimyo seeing the Hiramekarei drawn and ready to roll, and Baki seeing that the glowing heat from Kusanagi is ready to burn its edge onto his meaty flesh. "Fucking prick" The Daimyo made the first move, as expected - he had drawn his weapon first and his weapon was lighter. Clearly, he was one flashy swordsman. But Baki was a veteran at butchering motherfuckers like him. His Hiramekarei infused with tons of chakra beforehand, ready to be swung at the little girl and killed - mercilessly leaving her parents childless and with a funeral check. But Baki changed tactic this time, focusing on the ivory-haired swordsman. The Daimyo, nine meters away from him, still had to have his sword cross at least that much distance for the Kusanagi to reach him. Baki, on the other hand, only had to move no more than two feet - executing actions within his own personal space. As he was also a Kenjutsu and martial arts master, he too had comparable speed-reactions as the Oto Daimyo, although for Baki - he had to move less distance, whereas the Daimyo has to move more. With the Hiramekarei in his right hand, he stabbed the fish-like blade onto the hot pussy-tight sand and rotated his body angle towards the flat side of the blade, and that's all he had to do. The extending Kusanagi, although launched first, could be dealt with the simplest, shortest actions. The edge of the blade hit the Hiramekarei's hard skin, the heated blade trying to slice its way into it. He fortified his defenses by erecting a very powerful hemi-spherical chakra barrier covering his right and left sides and what's on top of him completely, blocking the Kusanagi from cutting even a centimeter into the Hiramekarei.

Baki began his counter-attack immediately after that. Just as the Sound Daimyo had imbued his legendary Kusanagi with chakra and released his hand over the handle, Baki smacked the thing

Name: Fission Technique
Rank: A
Type: Ninjutsu
Used For: -
Element: -
Range: -
Duration: Indefinite until someone dies.
Hand Seals/Charge up: None
Description/Weaknesses: This technique allows the user to split his body into two identical duplicates of him or herself. The "two selves" are physically separated and what happens to one will not affect the other. Neither duplicate is the "original", and this cannot be dispelled like Bunshin jutsu. When used, the user's remaining chakra is split into half into the two duplicates. There'll be a "main" duplicate and a "sub" duplicate. Each duplicate would have to restore their chakra; however, while the main duplicate can restore up to his or her normal chakra level with a resting topic, the sub duplicate can only restore up to -30 of the user's normal chakra levels (in Musashi's case that'd be 270). Furthermore, the sub duplicate would not be able to use S-rank jutsus nor can they use Bunshin or Fission techniques. The main duplicate, on the other hand, can still do Bunshins and be able to use only one S-rank jutsu (once one is used, it'll be the one that he has to stick with). The two duplicates can go wherever they want independently of each other. Weapons and all that are also replicated. The user cannot split more than once at a time, and cannot use this technique again until the other duplicate dies. When a duplicate dies, the other duplicate will be able to know it and able to see the last four seconds of their life before them. However, as this isn't clone jutsu, they do not receive any experience or memories. Now, if the main duplicate dies, then only the sub duplicate would be left. The sub duplicate would be able to use S-rank and Bunshin jutsus; however, their chakra levels still remain 30 points lower than the original user's chakra pool. So if they use the Fission technique again, whoever is the sub duplicate will receive less chakra.

In one of the village's ANBU lairs was one of the most notorious underground torture chambers, well known within the organization for the pitch and length of screams that echoed from this interrogation extravaganza. Although the interrogation that would take place is quiet and non-direct, with no pain or agony on the victim's part. Everything will take place on the mental level, and while questions will be raised, the answers will be found in his temporal lobe. Musashi had brought the specimen back to the village with success - the first time in doing so as well. He raked in the Hiramekarei, a SSM sword that would no doubt prove to be valuable to the village as a whole. Back when he was.... you know who with what first, middle, and last name get-up, he had met this man in Yukigakure and the two of them had duked it out. Now that he had found him as a Sound ninja in the realms of Suna on a "diplomatic affair", he could not help but be curious on what information he holds, especially considering the news that had leaked out months ago regarding the Sound invasion. Junpei, still knocked out, had undergone medical procedures that would mostly sustain his life so long as he's constantly receiving aid. Although he won't be the same person anymore personality-wise, not to mention difficulties in attention-span and planning skills. With the health of his brain still intact, the authorities had ripped Junpei from the hospital against the wishes of the medical ninja, all so that the process of interrogation can begin.

The walls incredibly thick with the only exit being the doorway, Junpei was strapped to a hair. Locked inside a bondage suit where his arms are crossed over each other and hands on his shoulders - tightly bonded, Junpei would also be cuffed to the chair by the legs and blindfolded. There were what seemed to be sticks on his head, as he was situated right in a contraption - all to help facilitate the interrogation. He was knocked-out, submitted through sedatives to keep him in a state of snooze for perhaps days. Musashi waited for his boss to arrive, who was already informed of the situation, to get down to the bottom of things...

Most of the Snow's guards were cooped in the Yukigakure Daimyo's little plaything of a castle, where he conducted strategic assaults and village parties, keeping himself privated inside his bedroom for research and reading. Few guards were out observing the village, as this was a time of peace - unknown to the two foreign Kumogakure shinobi that was stalking the place. The Daimyo's Palace, famously known as the Azure Pearl for the Daimyo's decorative design over the building, was well-guarded in the inside - at least, in terms of numbers. So when the explosion went off, legions of shinobi scattered across the building to focus on the source of the infiltration. Although they were inadequate fighters, they were competent enough to consider that this might not be a solo act, but rather a well-planned raid from multiple enemies - possibly an army even. Therefore, tensions were very high, so they relied on The Azure Pearl's detection system. Yukigakure was one of the more technologically advanced villages in the world, manufacturing various industrial giants and innovative inventions. One of them included sonar and a heat sensor system that functioned as part of the building's defense system, to substitute for chakra sensors. There, they would find their intruders - pinpointing two of them.

Garuda

As Garuda was climbing up the wall to the Daimyo's palace, once he got up from the first floor and was going to climb to the top of the second floor of the palace, he would be exposed in the open public as ten shinobi with a kunai volley gun in front of each of them stood ready just 20 meters away from him. Positioned between the second floor's bars, and able to vaguely see the masked, white cloaked ANBU - a pair of red reflecting off the violent, raging snow. "Shoot!" they cried out in unison, as each gun dished out dozens of relatively high-speed kunai in rapid-fire sequence all over the place. Most were aimed at Garuda's position, but there were some flying all over the place to cover a wide area in case he decided to dodge. They had to shoot down the intruder! They had to protect the Daimyo!

Shana

"Myooooo! I can't believe someone's trying to get in while everyone's inside! Now we're stuck here!" the red-haired Kobushi cried out. "No whining this time, alright Kobu?! We have to protect the Daimyo and he'll be sure to reward us. This village depends on his life" the orange-haired Rinka said. "I'm glad that we three sisters get to fight alongside each other again" the orange-haired, pink shirt Mamiko said. The three sisters, the skilled elite of the village, smiling together, walked alongside each other to the source of the explosion. From a big open room, they would see several guards looking through a relatively narrow hallway. "What's going on?" Kobushi asked. The guards made way, revealing a small petite masked ANBU in white cloak. Rinka noticed the cloud symbol on the anbu mask's forehead. "A Cloud shinobi?! Why?! Have they finally decided to attack us because we're so close!" Rinka wondered. "What a shame..." Mamiko muttered, as the three of them went into formation, pouring their hands together as they each focused their unique chakras to whoever was at the center of the group, which was Mamiko. They began to charge a very bright energy blast, composed of purely raw chakra, and lifted their hands facing the anbu. As they had been charging, the guards had thrown chakra-enhanced spears and swords at the girl, although none of them would have hit. They would have all missed, but they would have prevented him from going back from the hallway.

"Big Bang!"

Spoiler:

They executed their trademark technique, firing a powerful, wide blast of energy that would pulverize the anbu that was just 10 meters away as well as some of the stone that comprised the walls of the hallway.


"Uzu-sama.... please rest assured", Seisoku said to the Daimyo of the village, bowing down before him. His purple hair arranged in a fearsome ponytail, the Daimyo was already wearing his shinobi battle uniform - standard for a Yukigakure shinobi. In his bedroom filled with battlefield resources, Uzu Yuki felt assured and safe. After all... all of the people were his men... and all of the village was his power. He could not possibly lose here. "Hmph. Looks like we'll have to take care of this as soon as possible" Uzu said, with a light smirk.

Kobushi/Mamiko/Rinka's Chakra levels: 240/250

Each has pooled 10 CP into the attack, making the attack somewhere between a B and A-rank attack by chakra ~ rank.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


The gunners could see that the culprit had retreated, falling back down. "Shift manuevers!" one of them shouted. Re-arranging themselves, they knew that they no longer needed to pursue the man. They had detection systems to keep track of the man regardless. Plus, the snowstorm outside prevented them from advancing far away from the inner confines of the building. Of course, the blizzard had increased in its ferocity now, leaving anyone outside who is now accustommed to the village's nature in a perilous state, and the ANBU man was no exception. With crippling mobility and harsh conditions, the enemy would have to brave through the village's greatest defense or risk catching a cold and collapsing. Instead, they fell back in front of the Daimyo's chamber. You see, on the second floor there was this grand open room usually reserved for demonstrations of combat or private meetings, and this same open space and the Daimyo's bedroom was bridged by a grand pair of doors. The gunners protected the door to the chamber bedroom from within this open room with several royal pillars holding the top of the ceiling. Fifteen men with kunai machine-guns kept themselves ready on the beautifully decorated ceramic surface, keeping themselves together looking at all angles and directions so that they'd shoot on sight of the ANBU....

As Seisoku approached the body, the Daimyo quickly noticed an arm wrapping around his neck and pulling the old Seisoku along with him, his grip keeping old Seisoku subdued and struggling futilely. He had pulled out a kunai but as he flailed all about it eventually flew out and went far away from his hand. Uzu missed it for a split second due to the commotion, but he had gazed at Garuda Uchiha's eyes just as it came up to meet his own, and instantly his eyes darted downwards, away from direct eye contact. It was an instinct of fear. A familiar feeling creeped up to him - a psychological effect created by past trauma, that brought his gaze away with the eyes that he held such wary feelings of in his heart for almost a decade now. As he began to heat up, Uzu remembered his past. During his first years as Daimyo, he fought against one of the most brutal Uchiha warlords of all time - Takugan Uchiha. There, he lost bitterly and nearly lost his life. He remembered the powers of the Sharingan well, for the man had shown him what was known as the "Mangekyou". Now, to the present, he has met another foe. An Uchiha master. What time has destroyed.... can also heal! He will renconcile the mistakes of the past right here, right now!

"Hahaha...." Uzu chuckled as Seisoku died before him and the ex-Raikage's genjutsu having had failed. Was he not prepared to take back his dignity. For a vrey long time now, he has practiced the ability to fight a Sharingan warrior. Focusing right at the knees of Garuda, with some ocassional glances at the lower chest, Uzu knew that all he ahd to do was avoid eye contact. The snowstorm outside represented his own rage.

"Do you think you can kill me, Uchiha brat?! I've been waiting for this.... for a long time HAHAH!" Uzu shouted angrily. A sneaky warrior, branding decades more combat experience than the younger former ruler, excelled in anti-Sharingan tactics. One of his hands behind his back all the time with his gaze concentrated on Garuda's lower body, while the other hand had guarded the handle of the familiar, black metal trowel-like knife that had fallen next to him in its grip. Garuda would unveil his plot with the silent weaving of the half-Tiger. Eight water urns had been four meters away from Sabo - four on each side. With great speed, the water bursted upwards, shooting off the lid that kept them enclosed, and it was there did they simultaneously distribute themselves into two hundred needles of liquid death from nearly all directions, encircling only Garuda. They would launch themselves at very high velocity towards Garuda, aiming to skewer him from toe all the way up to his heart area. As Uzu had his seal and gaze away, the uchiha's ability to predict jutsu was skewed, only allowing him to sense the change in chakra conversion, but unable to analyze what jutsu was being utilized. This was good for Uzu, for he knew of his technique well and the power of the Sharingan well. He had harnessed his own anticipation ability, expecting an evasion manuever to be made. Thinking steps ahead of the enemy, the other hand would have had already released its hold over the blade, sending it over to the enemy's head area once the evasion be executed. Still, Uzu wanted to see how he'd fare against so many water needles to asses agility and reaction time. All this time Uzu had kept his field of vision away from contact with the Uchiha's eyes, exploiting a deadly fighting style to take his godforsaken enemy once and for all.

Spoiler:

Uzu's Chakra Level: 293.5/300

OOC: Just so that we're all clear where we are right now, Garuda and Uzu are outside of the Daimyo's bedroom in the foyer hallway on the second floor. Getting to the second floor would require climbing up the staircase leading from the first floor where Garuda vaporized the three sisters, which is where Katsuro had to go up from since he saw the burnt body. Kansuke is in the Daimyo's bedroom right now. We're not on a lower floor, because the window-hole in the Daimyo's bedroom is on the same side from where Sabo entered the Daimyo's bedroom, which was from the foyer. The hole was supposed to be elsewhere, but there was earlier post misreading and I relocated the hole that was jumped through according to how others have dictated it to be.

Uzu had only noticed it while he was running earlier. One man had waltzed towards his bedroom, jumping through the window hole to meet up with his comrade. Who was that guy? What was he doing here, here in his village? Uzu had an unnerving vibe in his back, that told him that the invaders of his proud village were sent here by somebody as a small unit on a very high S-class mission. These were shinobi from a major organization, most likely one of the great villages, and they were here on a hostile rampage towards Yukigakure. Uzu hadn't stolen anything from another village to incite them to take action against this peaceful settlement now partially covered in red snow. His people were slaughtered, soldiers removed from the face of this earth, houses were immolated, his castle was blown apart, and even his own bedroom was ransacked. What cruelty has the shinobi of a tyrannical foreign village shown to him and his followers? Surely, they did nothing to deserve this unjust attack. Uzu's eyes seethed with an unnatural bloodlust as he saw a man, Katsuro Michiki, walk towards him from his bedroom. He was armed, fitted with durable armor, eight meters away, with wooden spikes in his hand. A Senju.

Shots fired. Kumogakure was the vile villain. They were the nearest shinobi village to the Land of Lightning, so it was only natural they'd receive the first blow. Kumogakure must be on a conquering spree, as Uzu did hear that Kumo itself was also conquered by Iwagakure. Whoever the conqueror was must be ruling the village currently, and sent his forces to usurp Uzu from his throne is likely being defiled by the masked man in his bed right now! Katsuro had given him an ultimatum, but Uzu only showed true hated towards the men who had destroyed his home. No, they're likely bent on taking his life too right now. He knows that whether he dies or not would have no impact on the lives of his civilians, if Kumogakure was smart. The question was to die or not to die. The village has already fallen, and he, along with his people, like shattered jewels, will also fall and perish..... along with his enemies. Although he was the ruler of a small nation, he was still a Kage-class shinobi. If he kills this Senju man here, along with the Uchiha... and the man with them... why, why yes! Yes, the hope is there! Uzu sees the light. Kami is here, giving him strength, protecting him from this foreign terrorists. And with all terrorists, negotiations were off right from the start. Terrorists must be slaughtered, and he, Uzu Yuki, given Kami's judgement, must deal swift just punishment. They must..... die die die die die die die die!

Uzu's smile curved into a crooked, unnatural smile, while it seemed as if his eyes were ready to bulge out of their sockets. Enemy in front of him, and enemy of the same distance away as the other directly to his right. Bingo. He did not remain as Daimyo for so long because he didn't have a few tricks up his sleeve. Right before he became recognized as a Kage class ninja, he possessed a variety of jutsus that either crush his opponents under and skewered them silly. This particular one was his strongest, and the most destructive. He let his hands go, arms out and right by his side. A scoff seemed to have escaped from him. "You... you... KUMOGAKURE SCUM!" he shouted.

Like a dart, a single wooden spike was thrown,jetting through the air hoping to penetrate into human flesh instead of cutting through thin, vain air. Oh, but how terribly inaccurate it was. Without an eye for marksmanship or perhaps it was the distance between the two of them, Uzu would have had no trouble dodging it, if not actually kicking it away. From his eyes, it also moved relatively slow, so even without moving, the thing would have barely grazed the side of his chest. But evading was not on his mind. Countering was the option a ninja would take here. It didn't seem like the man named Katsuro didn't take it into account, as he had arrived at a later time, but while he was talking down to the God-protected superior Daimyo, Uzu had already held the final seal to his finishing jutsu, a deadly technique he reserved only for the most desperate situations, ones where his village was attacked and his home destroyed. It was an attack of the highest class, and although not known to those outside of Yukigakure, it was well known by his military men to be the greatest Yukigakure has to offer, and one of the primary reasons why Uzu was able to unite his forces under his banner while reigning as a Kage-Daimyo.

Immediately after the spike was thrown, Uzu had raised both of his arms towards his enemies and instantly out came two black dragons. They were fearsome creations, and he was proud of having mastering this technique back in his youth, and was more than happy to have used it to kill his assailants here today. If they decimated him, he would decimate them. Of the highest rank, these dragons moved at a velocity pretty comparable to that of a taijutsu master on foot, allowing it to cross distances in a remarkably short period of time. Black dragons were indeed fearsome symbols in his village's culture, though. Crafted from black snow, the dragons took on a characteristic, unique shadow-like texture and color, splattering ink-like pellets of water-ice as they blitzed towards their targets. They could not only be long, but are also intimidating in size. Red flaring eyes reflected Uzu's anger and bloodlust, and seemed to give them the illusion of life, while the deep red glow that emanated from the dragon's mouth not only emphasized the deadliness of its fangs that could mince human bone and flesh, but also helped place a sense of fear or impending doom in his opponents. Coming towards the opponent first was the heads, which took the form of that of a dragon, finely shaped as many cultures have crafted it to be with its traditional  sharp spikes that portruded from the head area. They were big enough to easily fit an entire human body. Upon release, the air stiffened, as the mighty blizzard dragons had that kind of effect upon those who gaze upon it the first time. They pushed out a lot of force onto the air, pressuring the wind towards their targets even before reaching them as they'd be forced to steady themselves reflexively, as if the dragons were roaring out their immense, hair-raising vigor. Yukigakure's greatest technique, indeed.

Uzu did not care whether they actually hit them or not. The dragon aimed at Katsuro would obliterate the wooden spike completely head-on, after which it would bare its fangs with open jaws as it tried to bash with the enemy, which would deal massive damage to them. After which it would be an easy task for the dragon to close its mouth, devouring and mutilating the body from within. Even if there was a change in direction, the dragon would follow after the enemy, curving and swerving with incredible agility as it would have an easier time manuevering than its enemy. The dragon aimed at Garuda would intercept his use of the Bringer of Darkness genjutsu, as insistence upon using it would delay enough time that Garuda would no doubt be hit striaght-on by it, and with his wounds, would be crippled and on the verge of death. It would not matter to Uzu though whether he was put under it or not. He hoped that the "surprise" reaction and attack he made would throw both of his enemies off guard to an extent, as he did seem to play the act of someone who would have submitted and surrendered right until the last moment. He hoped to continue the rule this village as a crafty fox. Uzu would continue to manipulate his dragons whether they hit or not, whatever means of evasion or blocking be utilized. After they've at least attempted to tag his opponents once, Uzu would have them curve and bring them together pretty quickly, merging them together to bring out about the true form of this destructive jutsu, and also end his enemies' lives. The dragons molding together, they dispersed their shape and form, losing their familiar appearance, and instead swerved and rotated until at least... a black tornado! These dragons were the harbringers of death; the jutsu a gift granted to him by Kami, and was rightfully used this day as Kami's way of punishing these three fools who even attempted to bring him down. Him! Uzu Yuki is going to be a prophet! And Prophet Uzu was God's hand to smite the silly Kumogakure fuckers. Vestiges of what seemed to be black wisps spreaded from the malevolent black twister that was away from him, as it formed and spun at intense velocities a relatively safe distance away from him, but the other two and any poor saps who entered the foyer would be dragged into it as it fully expanded to its size. Uzu would also control it to move around should they attempt to escape, although by the time the dragons had formed into that tornado, the Kumogakure invaders would already be caught in his jutsu's area of effect should they take a stationary stance. As it moved around to cover the entire space of the floor he was on without endangering his life, it wanted to spin until it could reach the clouds, and that was what it would do. The very foundation pillars were ripped apart, supplemented by Uzu's own battle cries and cackles as he wanted to destroy his opponents like a warlord. Broken off, the entire roof covering the second floor was lifted all the way into the sky as the tornado was able to reach its intended height. This gave Uzu more opportunity to move his twister around the foyer and onto his bedroom to kill the man residing in it as well. Not like the man had much of a chance of escape, though. He had consumed nearly a third of his chakra in an instant and was in a severe bodily state just after using a kinjutsu. All of his belongings - the water urns, delicate bedroom, and mission reports would all be decimated. The ceiling now climbing up the air would break off into several big pieces, falling all around the perimeter of the Azure Pearl, a lethal hazard to those taking refuge around its vicinity. Those caught within it would be ripped to shreds instantly, even if the dragons were outmanuevered or cockblocked. Violent and forceful, even if his enemies weren't already caught in it, they would be drawn to it along with a portion of the remnants of the previous battle between Garuda and his own men, as some kunai were kicked up to the roofless air; many of which were flung towards the tornado as well, adding another series of lethal blows to his enemies even if they try to resist. 'Course, running away was futile. Black ice-snow was legendary in the village as a representation of Yukigakure's darkness. Even the villagesmen of Yukigakure could see from their homes, while they were being razed, this black dragon tornado that spun like some furious deity, reaching all the way to the heavens...

Claiming the hit cause you didn't edit your post after I told you of the decision Chikara decided saying that at 8 meters six hand-seals couldn't be done before the spike hit you.  Didn't want to post this in the thread.

1. I was never informed by Katsuro that he had asked Chikara for an administrative decision about this at all, nor of the opportunity to edit.  If he did, then he must have addressed it while I was afk in the cb, and should have waited for me to confirm it, because this is complete news to me. Sneaky, sneaky guy this Katsuro fellow is hehe. I never had any knowledge of this whatsoever, and he SHOULD have made it clear by addressing the flaw in my post as well as the chance to edit it either in this thread or through PM if he received no response from me. This does not change anything if my post is indeed invalid, as the chance to edit is something done out of courtesy by Katsuro and his claimed hit would still be valid. That, however is not the case here, as either Chikara and Katsuro's understanding of the situation in the thread is misconstrued:

2. The handseals were not done AFTER Katsuro threw the wooden spike, but in actuality, the last handseal weaved was done well before that.

Having had completed a sequence of several seals, Uzu was ready to kill his enemy by any means necessary. He would not allow his legacy and reputation to end here against some unknown assassins.

^ the above was done before katsuro posted. A technique had already been prepped BEFORE he even entered the thread.

Now in my post after that:

Quote :

It didn't seem like the man named Katsuro had taken it into account, as he had arrived at a later time, but while he was talking down to the God-protected superior Daimyo, Uzu had already held the final seal to his finishing jutsu, a deadly technique he reserved only for the most desperate situations, ones where his village was attacked and his home destroyed

As you can see, the hand seals were already completed and jutsu held before Katsuro had even thrown his wooden spike, whose speed alone is Taijutsu Basic at best, seeing as the guy has no specialty in the Weaponry Skill, which is what dictates the throwing speed of projectile weaponry. Is it possible in the first place to weave six handseals before the spike tagged Uzu from eight meters away? When uzu's casting  speed is far faster than the speed of (approximately 67% faster) the projectile? When the projectile has to transverse eight meters (thrown with no notable accuracy mind you) whereas my hands don't have to move any more than a total of one foot to complete the seal sequence (don't forget that one's fingers only have to re-arrange their formation as well as minimum shifts in arm/elbow movement whereas the spike has to blitz across the air from a distance considered medium range by canonical standards? **ck yeah)

Therefore, his post is voided. I can only venture to say that he had not known the handseals were already done as part of whatever difficulty he had in reading our posts when entering the thread.

Now, I will give Katsuro the opportunity to edit by tonight, as he has gone well past the 48 hr limit and this little intervention was an unnecessary diversion if he had come converse with me in the first place, otherwise he should be skipped for going past that time limit in the interest of moving the thread along as Sabo should have an idea for what his post would be right about now, and it'll be Sabo's turn to post in which he too will have to post within 100 hours of my post (not this one but my last one which is the actual in rp-post).

1.  V did not give enough time to edit a post.  Less than 10 hours to edit a post is not enough time to edit a post, especially if said person had already went to sleep.  By the time I had woken up the next day V had already declared me ineligible to edit my post.

This is irrelevant. You didn't have the right to edit a post made under false pretenses in the first place, and was voidable. I made it clear to you in the PM I sent you that the window of opportunity to edit was given so you can talk to me about it and we can work this situation before I went to sleep before any posts were voided. I actually even stayed a bit after midnight waiting for you. You told me you were out for the rest of the night in PM, which I didn't know as you usually are the active guy who stays well after that time, so I was sure that you would arrive within two, if not a hour of that post. I wanted to end and resolve the issue you had in why your post would be voided (that the hand seals were prepped beforehand) on the same day that the problem occurred as I try to do. I see NOW that the problem is still occuring even a week after it has come out, and about the same problem, and confirmed my suspicions that it was futile for me to give that opportunity in the first place.

I made it clear that if you did not edit by then, you would be skipped, and I reinforced that. The opportunity to edit was given to you by ME, and not by anyone else. Although I didn't know you were going to be asleep or whatever because once again you're usually a very active guy, but nonetheless, it also stands to be my right to take back the opportunity I give to you if a time limit is not met. I don't know why you waited until there was a debate thread to address this, when I've mentioned this to you, Chikara, and Sato that if you did not edit, your opportunity to do so would be lost. It is definitely not something you can use in this debate and claim it as your right. I'm sorry, but as you didn't even respond to any of my PMs and waited days up to this point, I am going to stand by my decision that you cannot edit your post. This shouldn't even be a point, but w/e. I could have just voided and skipped you over, but I did give you the time to at least get on. Whether you did that or not kept your post voided, and if a post is voided, it's common sense that the post should not be editted.

Quote :

24 hours after the claimed hit is the only time you can claim a kill.  So hmm seems like V broke a rule there.

I already mentioned this in our thread but I'll expand.

1. Those are Inactivity Rules. You were skipped, because your post was voided. The rules don't apply.

2. There is a misinterpretation of the rules on your part. That 3rd rule is for cases where the attack is non-lethal. It is only a day after the non-lethal attack hits does it become lethal, thus killing the opponent in a battle topic, so that the players could resume.

3. Going off of Point Number 2, literally every other battle thread that ended because of auto-hits ended because people were 48'ed. Not that they were 48'ed, and THEN 24'ed. Case references include Tee, Lindow, Wrath, Demon, and even today Oboro. All cases of threads where people either killed someone by claiming their hit as a kill without waiting that extra day, or were killed by that same method. Why should this thread by any different from how we had consistently done with the 48 hour rule? Doesn't make sense for that extra day to be the kill hit when the attack had the power to kill and was launched with the intention to kill. The opponent doesn't have the chance to post to counter. He (she)'s dead! Now granted Katsuro could have the chance to post his character's final thoughts right before his death, but that's it. Again, I think there was misinterpretation on his part.

4. Didn't you... do the same thing against me when you tried to claim a kill hit after a 48 hour period? For you to try to use this rule against me when you did the same thing yourself.... is this not hypocrisy?

Quote :

3.  After conversing with Sato, it came to light that the post he voided was the one Chikara voided which isn't the edited post in question.  So other than the fact that V gave inadequate time to edit, my new post should be perfectly fine.

No. I added an extra note at the bottom of my PM to Sato that was all about your edit. He voided your post with that note there. I will talk with Sato to clarify things, but overall, your right to make a counter-post to my jutsu should have been voided by Sato. Doesn't matter whether it was the original and editted post, and if the admins hadn't done that now, your editted post SHOULD have been voided, as I've made clear to them in the thread and in several PMs to you that the window to edit that was given to me was withdrawn by the time you did not come on. Staff members do not have the capability to mess with that.

So, my main points are that Katsuro no longer had the right to edit nor does the third battle rule apply to his thread in anyway. I think that trying to cling onto his right to edit that was given by me is the same as taking advantage of me. I also think that the hit claim should be a kill claim, because that's exactly the way it's done in every other battle thread, and that's precisely what Katsuro tried to do earlier on. Why suddenly change how the 48 hour has always worked now, based on his misinterpretation of Battle Rule Number 3?

I was originally gonna send a follow-up PM that night, but decided it'd be better to wait for you to cool down and reply, only to see that's never gonna happen. Today, I got my skype back and I could finally see the staff group chat that I wasn't able to see since i had an outdated version of skype on my itouch. And I came to the conclusion that there's still something you can't get through your head, and that the follow-up I was going to sent you needed drastic edits because there were important details you refused to tell to my face. I don't care that you wanted all staff members to see our PM convos on skype or that you removed me from a staff skype chat that I didn't even know exist, but here is what I had to say (and as you know, I have a lot to say):

1. I had no idea that you harbored doubts or disliked Spirit or whatever that you thought twice about adding her to the staff team. From all I was concerned, you liked her, and I know that the community likes her, so it was only proper to add a former veteran member of the staff back to the team especially if she's committed to being active. If I had known, then yeah I would have made a section in the mod area. Perhaps this was the starting step as to why your PM to my anniversary offer was so strong, but at the same time, this is also EXACTLY why it's good that I give her that chance to join again the way I did so that this kind of admin bias will not affect decisions that are good for the site. I'll admit I should have consulted the rest of the staff beforehand, but there should have been no doubts at all that Aerie would make a good staff member. There was none of the shadiness or underhanded that this Katsuro guy was talking about, when Kamina told me after he made me admin that I could add anybody I want to the staff team, and I merely kept to that, especially since Aerie applied for the team. This is also what Poncho did in the past. Though it's clear you had diverging ideals. Maybe you preferred that you be informed first, but regardless, I've learned my lesson. Do keep in mind that YOU added someone onto the trial team without asking the other admins, or the entire staff, and you didn't see me getting mad over it.

2. And yeah, like Mei said, if you couldn't or didn't want to do it, then literally just say, you can't do it by then. I don't see why this was a laughing matter for you, because I was being sincere there. And like I said, if you don't like being told about it 2 days in advance, that's something I did not know, and if I was not made known that, then you have no reason to ostracize me for anything. You might have been too busy or too stressed, but I did not think the write-up would have taken much of your time. You didn't need to look at any other topics or references, and literally you could have written the anniversary topic in the same amount of time it took you to write your angry reply to me. Sato only took slightly longer than that even. So you've proven to yourself that there was no reason that you couldn't write it without needing days to do it, but I can see that's not the issue here, and that the issue here is that you liked to be given an extended period of notice. Like I said, I was planning to do it by myself and to announce it on that date with no one else knowing until then. I only realized that I should give you that opportunity three days before the alloted date. I can't say why it took me that long to realize that, but that's out of my hand, and it is not fair that I get ostracized for that, especially since you indeed did have plenty of time to write it all out. You might not have thought so, but you've proven that you did. In truth, I could have written the topic and would have done so (or asked Sato), if you refused, but when I told you about it, I thought I was giving you the honor, instead of dumping it on you. You interpreted it as the latter, and upon looking at my PM, I guess it could interpreted that way, but again, I am not asking you to do anything that is below me, because when I give up on something of my own and ask someone to take over, it's because I think they're a proper person to do it. When I sent you that PM, I was not being lazy nor did I have any disrespect in mind. It's because I thought you were the better person to do it. Get this through your head and don't let anyone else make you think otherwise.

I see that Siegfried said I was slave-driving you or something, and no I wasn't. Again, I was only made known recently that during the last week of October or so that you were busy and being overworked. I did not know that, and as I've stated in my prev. PM, I did not mean to put any further pressure on you. I really did not think that you would have had difficulties writing a simple anniversary topic, alright? The excuse I told you was poor, but I didn't care, because what mattered was whether or not you could do it. I didn't see you as the go-to person to do administrative stuff. I go to MYSELF to do administrative stuff, but there's a reason why I decided to let you announce it, and a reason why I went to you before I went to Sato. I did not write 400 words trying you to force this on you as that katsuro guy was saying, because in that very PM, it was made clear to me that you weren't gonna do it.I'm not being a "sheisty" guy over here, and I seriously did not know why you let those peeps fuel the fire. If you have those thoughts in your head, get rid of it, because YOU should know better.

























So needless to say, I've already asked Sato to take care of this for us and it's going pretty well. I'm not finished with this issue between us yet, and I still don't know fully what caused you to be upset. If I placed pressure on you, then that wasn't my intention at all. This was not an event or something that had to be planned for, nor was it something that required anyone other then the admins to be aware of. I believed that this was going to be a celebration announcement, and that 2 days was plenty of time for you to write up the topic, as short as it can be. And let me tell you this.
When I asked Sato weeks ago, I did plan to do this announcement all by myself, and make it as a surprise to everybody. Yesterday (or maybe two days ago once you got this message), I changed my mind and started thinking it was more appropriate for you to announce this. I did not spring this on you, I offered the chance to you. The reason why I changed my mind was so that I thought it was more proper for someone who was seen as the head admin of Nexus to announce the celebration rather than lowly me. I did not shove the responsibility to you because I thought that it was below me or I was lazy, but rather that you should have the honor to do so or whatever. If you needed a weeks notice beforehand, then i did not know that, and I don't think you needed that length of time, unless of course school and other pressures that I'm not fully aware of. Tbh, you could have just written that it was the anniversary, listed the rewards, and then end it there. 5 minutes of work. But I wanted to assure you that this was not something urgent-needed, but I thought it was a fun idea, and thought that you should be the one to do it, instead of me, but once again, if you were too busy, that's all you had to say in your PM reply to me.

I do think plenty of time should be given for events if they urgent-needed to be done (just look at my post in the Halloween thread), and plenty of time to discuss event ideas before they're initiated. This was not one of them, and is intended to be a quick surprise, though I did decide that there were better people to do it than me a few days before the event (don't ask me why it took so long for me to change my mind as that's something out of my control really) Again, I asked you if you could do it, and if you could, that'd be great. It was not meant to be "you have to do it" kind of deal, and I think that a better reception to my offer would have helped more. I believed you were able to do it, although I could have been wrong. This should be put behind us. Maybe it'll become a problem again in the future. I don't know since I still don't know fully what caused you to be upset. I think you have a misconception about me if you think I bring up all these great ideas near the last minute I'm asking for them to be due. This idea was not supposed to be something brain-wrecking or require any more than two days of thinking (as I've given suggestions on anything additional to write), but if that's something you would have liked, I did not know that at all.

I am making this post for clarification on the speed of those who have sage mode.  Currently the application says 4x average.  What is average, basic or less than basic?  Either way if a person is master or adept they are already have surpassed basic.

Less then basic, specifically someone with no skill in Taijutsu. The speed system is basically the Taijutsu system, and the tiers are based off of a certain number higher than someone at the speed of the average shinobi (someone who doesn't specialize in any speed-boosting skills).

Quote :

Furthermore in the applications of Sage Mode seen perception, sensory, physical strength, stamina & body constitution (ability to take hits) have been shown to be enhanced.  There have been no speed examples I currently don't believe Sage Mode boost speed.  However because they can react quicker do to increased perception then it could come across as being faster, but they aren't.

- SM Jiraiya went on to speedblitz one of Pain's paths. Think that's something he could come close to doing in base? He was also able to intercept Animal Path from putting his hands together for a summoning.
- SM Naruto could keep up with someone (Deva Pain) who can outrun his own SM-enhanced Rasen Shurikens. That's nothing something Naruto is doing in base.
- We see Bijuu-Sage Mode Naruto being able to keep up better with Juubito compared to  without Senjutsu coursing through him where he was getting overwhelmed by his speed over and over.
- It just makes sense


EMS
Can be obtained by transplanting the Mangekyou Sharingan of a sibling onto your eyes. The receiver must feel great grief from taking their sibling's MS eyes much like how they felt when they obtained MS, but they also must seek to make great use of their new eye power. Receiving EMS most likely results from taking the Mangekyou Sharingan of a sibling who is dying or is already dead, and that that grief over their sibling's end as well as the sense of duty to carry on their legacy through their eyes. If the MS user sought EMS mostly for greed, then they will not receive it. Possessing EMS signifies that the Uchiha lost a lot, and that they're looking for something. Due to the compatibility issues and the Mangekyō Sharingan's rarity, not everyone can gain these benefits by transplanting the eyes of just any Uchiha, which has been the cause of many fruitless sacrifices throughout the Uchiha clan's history.
EMS can only be obtained if the Uchiha has less than 70% of his or her eyesight left.
The thread where the EMS surgery takes place requires at least six posts. And after it is successful, the Uchiha has to wait three days (IRL) before being able to see through his new eyes again.

Benefits of the EMS:
- Eyesight does not deteoriate from use of MS techniques or having EMS active.
- Can keep track of 6th Gate level speeds
- Activation cost is 35 CP and upkeep is 20 CP per two turns.
- Allowed one more MS technique.
- Can copy hiden jutsus.

Clan Name: Haretsu Clan
Clan element/'s: Bakuton ~ Explosion Release
Special characteristics/traits: Haretsu clan members tend to have tough skin as they’re used to being around explosions (heat+force+debris), and can withstand their own explosive recoil without being severely damaged if the Bakuton is at least one rank lower than the skill rank of the Haretsu. Bakuton users need Ninjutsu and Taijutsu as part of their skill set.
Location: Scattered

Bloodline Name: Bakuton ~ Explosion Release
Bloodline Ability: Explosion Release (爆遁, Bakuton; Viz "Explosive Style") is an advanced chakra nature kekkei genkai. This chakra nature seems to give the wielder the ability to utilise explosive chakra in combat, allowing them to cause explosions in objects they come into contact with. Explosion Release is an advanced variant of Earth Release. It can be used in conjunction with the exploding clay Kinjutsu to take Bakuton to a more devastating level.

Bakuton System:
The rank of the Bakuton will determine the damage and the range of the explosion.

D-rank: Mild bruising and scratches. 1 foot radius.

C-rank: 1st degree burns will be inflicted, as well as some fractures and dislocation of bone. 1 meter radius.

B-rank: 2nd degree burns will be inflicted. Bones will be broken, and there will be minor internal damage inflicted. 5 meter radius.

A-rank: Bones will be shattered and limbs can even be blown off. The internal damage will be massive and can be fatal. 10 meter radius.

S-rank: Complete obliteration of whatever the user touches. 20 meter radius.

Clay Kinjutsu:
Must purchase clay kinjutsu and implant it on the hands and chest. The earth element is required to control clay figures. Clay techniques has the same chart as regular explosions, but they can use multiple explosions with multiple clay figures (i.e. one C-rank clay technique could produce three clay figures to explode with the effect of a C rank explosion each)

As C3,C4, and C0 are banned, only C1 and C2 are able to be used, and depending on the amount of chakra used, they just produce up to three figures with the exploding potency of whatever rank corresponds to the amount of chakra the user consumed.
