Repeatable: Once per PC
Description: A local businessman and craftsman is attempting to promote his excellent craftsmanship. In a show of good sportsmanship, a rival craftsman shop has been issued a challenge. A friendly spar between two contestants to see whom's weaponry and creation was the best. Our client has reason to believe that they will be fighting dirty, as they have hired a rather dangerous individual to participate as their sponsor. Take on the competition as the client's sponsor, using a special katana, crafted to be unbreakable.
Obective: Fight as our client's represenative and prove his craftsmanship is best.
Reward: 200 EXP and 1,000 Ryo plus a C rank Katana. (While supplies last)

Yawn -- it was another mission that just had to be dutifully fulfilled. And of course, Naota's services were needed with this "peculiar" task. A local merchant, had informed the Hokage, that there would be a -- blacksmith competition later on at this date. There was fear -- that the local competition would try something foul to win this year. So, within the letter sent to her, he pleaded -- no begged her to do something about it.

One thing lead to another, and ta-da, Naota was the chosen shinobi for this mission. It surely had nothing to do with his recent mastering of his sharingan's final phase. But then again, none of that matter at the moment. The only thing that mattered was the competition of the mission, and saving a blacksmith from embarrassment. Today was a day for saving someone else's future.

The brilliant red radiance -- of the sun, showered down upon this beautiful morning. Only a handful of clouds, dared to intercept the sun's rays, giving a shade, to the buildings in the marketing district of konohagakure. The shade, did nothing to damper the shining banquet of items sold from each shop. Everything from a brand new kunai, to old earrings, shined like the most amazing pieces of rare gems. That was the allure of konohagakure, its minerals was so grand, that people could mine for what they needed whenever they wanted, with no adverse effects.

And walking, slowly, through this section, many little trinkets -- caught Naota's gaze. A new set of bangles for his arms, a z-okashi radio, and even some stylish new jeans with, red, orange, and yellow patches. Shopping -- a strong impulse, indeed. But, he was a powerful shinobi, with unlimited will power that could be shaken by nothing. That is to say, nothing he wanted since what he needed made him stop, frozen, in the crowded streets.

It was . . . TAKAGAMAHARA -- the most powerful and hinted to be unbreakable katana. It was a pure black almost adamantium-ish type metal, which was hanging onto a completely black hilt, handle, and small little tassel at the end. A droplet of water, cascaded, down Naota's face in awe. This was all because the blacksmith he was sent to help was none other then T. Kuitobo. The legendary retired samurai, said to hail originally from the moon country.

With a childish glee, Naota quickly shuffled over towards the shop door. It took , every single bit of his being to not kick down the door. Calming down, slightly, three rapid knocks were placed upon the door. The anticipation was building waaay too high for him. Hopefully, he could get that sword -- takagamahara.

[/justify][/font]

[Pwn]

Heavy knocks could be heard thumping against the door, rattling the frail wooden floorboard of the room the blacksmith, Ryoko Takeshi, had been sitting within. He had been within deep slumber, falling asleep earlier in the day. It had been hard work to be an artisan, but he sure was proud of his creations. Even the people could agree that he had the best. His newest piece of art, Takagamahara, would be utilized today by a shinobi from Konohagakure, one of the six great hidden villages.

Ryoko awoke from his dreams, head rising from desk and right eye peeking open to examine the room. He had his usual grimace, which blended well with his scars, but he did not mean any harm. You could call him a gentle giant. His body was covered by armor with an assortment of colors. Stretching right arm out, he grasped his hammer, slinging it across his right shoulder as he got up, being a lofty man, to go and open the door. Turning the knob, he gazed out to see who it was.

“Who’re you, kid?”

he looked down at the boy.

The district seemed to fade away, once -- TAKAGAMAHARA was seen. It was hard, standing there, for what seemed like hours, when it was only a few seconds. That was when it happened. The anxious shaking, that he was so prone towards as a child, ten years ago. It came back with a furious vengeance, making sure to make the boy look disturbed for his fidgeting around .

But the wait was over the door, opened, the fast exposure was too much, when he saw him. It was the legendary takumi -- Ryoko T. Kuibuto, standing, directly in front of him. It was amazing to finally meet the man who created weapons, not only for war, but also for collectors to safely store away.

Atlas ~ nii-san had taken him to a weapons shop for his training, when he was eight years old. Hazama -- his green tinted, trinity blade, stood ,before the boy giving him a sense of being dumbfounded by the sheer awesomeness of the blade.

That man now stood before Naota, and that could only mean one of those creations would soon be his to own.

" uhh, kuiboto-san. I-I'm the ninja charged with aiding in your competition."

His voice, squeaked, in anticipation of an answer from his hero. What would you expect from an overactive teenager with only two people in his life that he looked up towards, a calm utterance?

[/justify][/font]

[Pwn]

Ryoto peered deep into the eyes of the boy, noticing the fiery determination burning within them. As Naota confirmed what he had already thought to be true, a smile replaced the look of scorn he originally had as he stepped out of the entrance of the door. With his left arm, he welcomed the boy inside of his shop, where all of his masterpieces could be seen decorated upon shelves. The sword the boy came looking for was directly above his desk.

“Grab the sword, and let’s go.”

a playful, yet stern command.

If they wanted to be prompt, it would be best for them to leave now. Ryoto already had everything he needed. Once Naoto grabbed the sword, they would be on their way. He would be taking the lead in their journey to the dojo where the boy’s opponent resided. A childish excitement coursed through his body. The anticipation to see everything unfold was killing him. Pacing silently back and forth, he took breaths, and waited.

[Yoshi]

Without another word -- Naota entered into the workshop of Ryoko. It was smaller then someone would have originally thought ( the workspace ). A cauldron -- charred from wear from years of use, sat directly to Naota's left hand side. It was pouring out a peculiar smell -- like melted metals from many different types of materials over the years. It was like a content place, that they finally slumbered, forever melted to the cauldron.

And towards the right side, was a beautiful craft station, with all types of clasps and pliers. It was like weaponry heaven for a takumi, but not for Naota. He admired the creations, but felt this was a job he could never attain, no matter how hard he tried. His daze was broken when his idol told him something. Everything didn't click into place as he, turned around, and, looked directly at Ryoko. Did he just say pick up any weapon that Naota wanted? That was like telling a child in a candy store choose whatever that child wanted.

Immediately -- his gaze landed upon "it" the weapon he nearly had an orgasm outside of the shop seeing. The most beautifully symmetrical weapon ever created in existence. TAKAGAMAHARA , but it was too much for him to take in at once. His feet, no longer connected to the rest of him, glided over to it. The vision within his eyes ,watching, waiting, anticipating the up close look of the black metal. His fingers ,aches, as well wanting to know what sort of weight and feel it would have.

Naota was a takumi at heart, but no one would ever be able to tell him that to his face, since he would just wave it off as foolish. But now it was finally within his grasp the uber weapon that he couldn't lose withTakagamahara, and it felt good. "A-are you s-sure Ryoko-San. I-I can take the kuro beauty the heavenly gate." When Ryoko called to him sternly saying to grab the sword so they could go, an ecstatic Naota sheathed it, before slinging the weapon, behind his back.

This was truly his version of heaven, walking out the door, with Ryoko - San.

It would be a day to remember as the duo headed off to their location. Not too far down the road, there had been a dojo where average people, like Ryoto (albeit not being his type of thing to do), could come, and train. Of course, it had not been any state of the art. Konoha had civilian owned shops, as well. Tourist loved visiting the village because of everything they could buy. Turning at the doorless entrance, he entered the building.

Looking around, Ryoto see familiar faces, waving to the people that were already inside. It had been big, so it could fit about fifty. They were small fry compared to the insides of the building. They would be heading to the back, where nobody else had been. Walking through a dark corridor, they entered a dim lit room, it having windows all around. There were flags of their home’s insignia hanging from the walls, and sheathed swords shelved neatly apart from each other.

There had been stairs to go to the upper floor, but the proctors had occupied it. The opposing blacksmith, Aki Yone, and two others, stood directly in front. Ryoko immediately found it strange that there had been more than two people, but everything had already been decided before they got there. Aki paid to have not one, but two of his soldiers fight. This had been to cut the odds of Naota winning. Proctors, three on both sides, and in front, would be watching. The main referee of the event stepped forward, and introduced the two boys.

“These two are your opponents.”

they stepped forward for him to introduce.

“Takuma Abukara.”

he said looking left at the older boy.

“And Tasuku Nakajima.”

then looking right at the young one.

“Once you confirm you’re ready, the match will begin.”

he flickering away as the boy’s enemies took stance.

It was all a little too surreal for Naota, I mean meeting his childhood idol, and carrying around the beautiful takagamahara. It was like he hit the lottery or something. A wide smile, was seemingly glued to his features, as he walked down the street with Kuiboto.It didn't take long to get around towards the entrance to Higahikata's Dojo for Kendo. It was also used for back room deals such as this mission, but the hokage thought it was for the best to keep such a thing a secret from the public --with good reason.

Death matchs, gambling, prostitution -- hell branding another human being all were legal within the back corridors of this place. The heavy pressure of those invisible but filthy memories weighted on Naota's shoulders heavily. He questioned why Kuiboto would even create a match within such a shady place.But the feeling passed once they walked inwards, and towards the back doors which lead to one of the passages of illegal takumi craft battles.

The battle's were death matches. A way to gain massive street cred which could even make a normal person seem like a legend if there weaponry handled well. Today seemed to be the day that Kuiboto wanted to make takagamahara legendary by tasting the blood of new competition. And boy where the stakes high in this one, since a person doesn't just lose their life but also everything their legacy is rewritten by the winners in any way they chose.

But that wasn't going to happen to Naota, definitely not today or ever. The dark corridor surged with a small flicker before they entered their first door within what seemed like twenty meters of walking. The dim lighting only added to the already screeching of alarms within Naota's head. But everything was being seen clearly, a small amount of chakra fluctuated within his body sending the synapse like signals to his eyes¹.

The strands of chakra associated with life could be seen through his "true eyes". The feeling would be marvelous if not for the imminent blood bath which would take place. Looking over towards Kuiboto a simple smile would be given. " what's up with you? you take out a life insurance policy on me or something? ha ha!" the laugh was more of a long giggle, when he directed it towards his idol.

That and his walking towards the rack of samurai blades, the rack itself was large in size, almost half a meter high, and one meter long. A stray thought was brought forward. "this may become an asset." Quickly reaching behind himself, into the small satchel he always carries around, and produced a small little note with a little bit of adhesive and controllable explosive powders.

He placed the note on the rack of sheathes. That was all that was need before getting back into an erect position ,and taking his time to get into a fighting position in the center of the arena. His hand, slowly, drawing the blade from it's elegant sheathe. With a distance of fifteen meters from his opponents. It was time to end all of this quickly ,and hopefully without needing this place to get renovations.

The sharingan^{kekkei genkai} - allows minor premonitions, which thanks to the dim lit arena would pack the needed power to defeat both opponents. Naota -- watched carefully, analyzing every single movement of his opponents. Three different possibilities showed themselves. The opponent moving to the left, right, and then forward. Each one was strong -- with a thin bluish presence, but the center one stayed much longer then the rest in possibilities.

Tasuku had been the first to move, darting forward to quickly breach distance between himself and the boy.

As Tasuku moved five meters, using an explosive burst of chakra^ninjutsu -- to devour ten meters. Now that the distance between them was closed so abruptly. Naota would send a downward facing kick at full power trying to trip up the hopefully still in motion samurai. That kick would be followed up if successful with a singular stab motion, trying to penetrate Tasuku's head.

The movement was aided by Naota being in his physical prime^masteries thanks to years of training. Any conceivable counterattack that Tasuku could demonstrate was already filed into his memory banks. And Takuma wasn't forgotten at all. The speed of these movements would no doubt rouse him into the appropriate action. The sharingan made sure to keep both closely within it's vision. All possible movements were being mapped out for counterattack.

Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.
Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against.

Naota may have wielded the Sharingan, but he was fighting the Legendary Samurai Brothers. Although they did not have the official ranking, their skills in Kenjutsu had been unprecedented. It had been just as they expected. The boy went fishing, and ended up taking the bait. With nothing to conceal his movement, they were fully aware of when their opponent was going to move, and which direction it would be.

Tasuku, upon reaching the five-meter mark, had initiated his technique. With him being a close range defensive fighter, his task is to create an opening for his brother. As his opponent reappeared, attempting to trip him, he vanished, yet under different circumstances. This had been one of his strongest techniques. His next location would be behind the boy on the side of their blade, flinging his hilt at their arm to cause them to drop their weapon.

Takuma would take advantage of his brother’s tactic, following with one of his own. He had also been a close range fighter, except more privy to offensive arts. With the boy now going down for the slash within an empty area, they had been wide open. Their eyes may have allowed them to predict movement, and they may have had agility, but none of that mattered when faced against this technique. He flung his sword upward, aiming to impale the boy in the head.

With Naota taking his position fifteen meters away, his two opponents were ready to strike. Both of them had gripped the hilts of their blades before dashing forward. Having only Kenjutsu trained, their physical condition had been superior to the boy. The moment he lost track, it would be over. Unless he shared this prowess, his time here would be difficult. Perhaps his Sharingan would aid him during this battle.

Tasuku had been the first to move, darting forward to quickly breach distance between himself and the boy. He and his brother had practiced this tactic all the time. While he had been the weaker of the two, the capabilities he held were not lacking. He had been a practitioner of Iaijutsu. Many wondered what he could accomplish through dodging alone, but he would show them. Prepared to strike, he was ready to end the battle with a single attack.

Takuma would be the second to move, follow in the shadow of his brother, although being the strongest. He had been a practitioner of Battoujutsu. The skills he possessed offensively were tarrying, but he would not need his strongest technique. He followed five meters directly behind his young brother, using him to obscure his move. It seemed he was prepared to strike, as well. Each of them was getting closer.

Description: One of Kenjutsu's ultimate defensive maneuvers, this technique relies on brute strength and rapid movement to evade an attack, instead of using their sword. Commencing from any position, the practitioner uses his advanced training and experience with defending, dodging, and countering to seemingly avoid a strike at an incredibly fast speed, allowing them to slip up close to the opponent. The speed at which the user moves is staggering and, when coupled against an opponents strike, allows them to get up close, their sword unsheathed and ready to deliver their own blow.

He flung his sword upward, aiming to impale the boy in the head.

Takuma's attack was successful in that it fully completed Naota's ruse. The blade would hit a target but not the one originally intended. The samurai rack was fully pierced through. The exchange took place near instantaneously. It was a combination of techniques - high speed movement, and illusory bunshin.

Quickly reaching behind himself, into the small satchel he always carries around, and produced a small little note with a little bit of adhesive and controllable explosive powders. He placed the note on the rack of sheathes.

When the bunshin's head was pierced a cloud of smoke was distorted from the place allowing the rack to be transported over and allowing naota to hid. The area was dimly lit so none of that was a problem. As soon as the sound of POOF pushed forward the exploding note upon the rack was activated.

The new location that Naota was at the old location of the rack. Making a singular seal it was the end. was where the Seeing as both Takuma and Tasuku were within the five meter range of the explosion. Both would be killed completely by the dangerous explosion.

Fear was the emotion felt when terrified, when your heart is relentlessly pumping out adrenaline from the thrill of possibly being killed. Being young, this was probably the first time he has to experience something like that. Those eyes he possessed were truly magnificent. For them to be able to pierce the duo’s movement, and allow him to switch his position with one of the shelves holding unarmed weapons.

Unfortunately, his method was meager, and as he completed these actions, the brothers did something of their own. First, Tasuku, previously positioned behind the boy to the side where he held his blade, leaped back, landing at his opponent’s new location. Immediately follow this, he nudged his wrist, flicked the hilt of his blade up, and attempted to strike the boy horizontally across the face.

Takuma, as always, was not too far behind. He moved to the opposite side of the boy, yet still out of the range of the explosion. Again, they were both physical impressive, and their speed had been far superior to their enemy. While he may have been successful if they were practitioners of Ninjutsu, the reality of it had been all too real. Striking again, the older brother would lung his sword at their foe, upward once more.

Once again -- Naota disappeared into a puff of smoke as his assailants tried to kill him again. The blade strikes once again carving up another illusion based upon his near instantaneous travel. But like the technique does so often the pull shot forth a cloud. Now the cloud like the last one, pushed outward, covering the opponents. His earlier plan of killing them with his original switch was defeated by there unnatural speed.

What baffled him even more was their powerful eyesight. They saw through the original cloud to see the rack then seemingly saw the small explosive note. Not only all that but evading it all completely knowing it was gonna explode. All of this while being in a dimly lit area with the windows being the only light. It was unbelievable -- he was dealing with amazing samurai, and a tingle of blood lust reached into his mind.

His sharingan - tried its best to give a visual upon the situation, as he was still within range, five meters away from them. The smoke had yet to clear in his original area of transportation, but there was enough light to make out black shapes.

His hands, creating a combination of zodiac symbols -- four in total. The sealing took place as soon as the switch happened ,and what was produced from it was the flame element. Naota took in an intake of air, before putting his arms up, to direct a stream of flame, shot from his mouth.

The gigantic blaze was meant to do structural damage even though it was aimed in the direction of the brothers. Their escape ratio was made even smaller by the fact Naota could accurately change the direction of the flame as he set himself perfectly still. His mind raced, with contingencies in case this little blast was avoided.

ninjutsu;

Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)50
Rank: C
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 4.
Chakra: Mid.
Special: Produces an intense stream of fire that can move as far as one's 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Because the flames are slightly more intense than other Katon jutsu, each time this is retrained, the user can stack 'C' ranked burning damage. However, for every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Can be trained a maximum of 8 times. Stream can last up to a whole turn, but when using this jutsu, the user must be standing still.
Description: Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a fundamental Katon ninjutsu technique which allows the user to freely control fire itself as it leaves their body. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. During this point, they then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects that range from equal in size to as small as half their size. Cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log) the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Tier One - Advanced Training, the Body: Having mastered their Sharingan, the Uchiha clan member learns to better incorporate their predictions with actual movements. Synchronizing their evolved sight with more concise and specific movements, the Uchiha clan member achieves a higher state of agility (25% - roughly half that of the first gate). While this doesn't make the Uchiha impossible to hit, they are relatively more agile than your typical shinobi.

kekkei genkai;

Sharingan [San]¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: x2 Mid to cast, low to sustain.
Special: Considered to be a fully matured Sharingan eye, this is, for many, the final stage that their Sharingan is able to access. This stage of the eye allows the user to pierce all a-ranked genjutsu and below, and predict and comprehend all taijutsu of a-rank and below, as well. Likewise, at this stage, the Sharingan can roughly (just barely) keep track of movements x5 the speed of your average shinobi. Keep in mind that regardless of foresight and prediction, in order to avoid incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed, agility and RP ability will ultimately control whether they can move to avoid it.
Description: The final normal evolution to Sharingan, the third tomoe fits symmetrically with the rest by creating a perfect triangular existence around the pupil. An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body, in the form of a quickly processed mental premonition. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there. Best of all, three tomoe also grants the Uchiha the ability to cast unique genjutsu and incur deep hypnosis after locking eyes with an enemy. This can be used to cause their opponent to do an attack of the Uchiha's choosing, or simply to force them to endure endless torture.
Domain: Uchiha.

The boy may have thought his techniques to be unique, but he was wrong. Using academy techniques would not be enough to save him from the onslaught of the brothers. Like the shinobi, they were trained killers, and although their status had been less than the former, that did not make them any weaker. Despite having the practically nonexistent cloud conceal his movement, they could still see him.

Wherever he moved, they would move. They were his opponents, as he was theirs. Even if the light in the room were dim, it would have undoubtedly covered plenty of area for the group to fight. He moved off the presumption that their only light source would not be enough for observation. Many would consider this a simple mistake, but they would take advantage of it as real fighters would.

Tasuku and Takuma, for once, would attack consecutively. The sight of hand seals startled them. The fact the boy thought them to be dirty; he was still the lowest scum around. He did not even care for the infrastructure. Destructive like the rest of his kind, they would wipe him out. As he began executing his technique, the two brothers flung their swords forward, slicing through the fireball. Not only were their techniques stronger, but they far surpassed what the boy possessed.

Takuma
[-1 Mid]
Tier 3 - Ukenagashi: Kenjutsu offensive techniques are capable of dismantling moderately powerful, tangible ninjutsu (b-rank and below). This means that they can deliver a blow so powerful that it will effectively neutralize the technique in question. The chakra required to do so is equivalent to the technique in question, and stacks on top of the kenjutsu user's maneuver.

Tsukesagiri (Cut and Thrust)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Learning 'B' rank "Art of Sword Drawing" increases damage by one rank. Damage is calculated per strike.
Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner draws, attempts to stab at or thrust into the opponent and then punctuates the movement with a harsh vertical or diagonal slash, which leads them to sheathe their sword once again. By stabbing into the opponent, this allows them to capitalize on the wound and make it even deadlier.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Battōjutsu 'C'.

Naota was startled by the image before him. The two samurai, sliced, through his most powerful technique. It was like the tech was never used as it was completely disrupted. An old feeling washed over him, fear. The probability of dying on this simple mission was all too clear to him now.

His sharingan, locked onto the eyes of the two samurai. The three symmetrical tomoe, broke their order, and began to mimic a pinwheel. The suggestive lines of chakra, danced directly into their line of sight. A simple look within Naota's eyes would lock the fate of all within his eye line.

It didn't matter which of them looked him directly in the eyes or if both of them did. A strong paralysis, would over take their entire body. This would allow Naota to move around to the location of the stunned individual(s). And throw his Kunai directly at their heads sealing the deal piercing their skulls.

Shisu (Hypnosis)
Rank: A
Type: Doujutsu.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: High.
Special: Sleep, suggestion, paralysis, and memory recall last up to 1 turn, plus 1 more each time this jutsu is retrained. However, after every second retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Cannot force a user to do something completely against their will, like taking their own life or that of a dear comrade, unless they have previous intent to do so.
Description: Upon unlocking the last of the normal secrets behind the Sharingan eye, the Uchiha begins to take full control of their blood powers. They are now able to essentially hypnotize anything or anyone that comes in eye contact with the Sharingan, inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact. The hypnotic ability coupled with the other aspects of the Sharingan, can make the user appear as if they can "see the future". Finally, this level of hypnosis is capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, and even replaying certain, specific memories to someone.
Domain: Uchiha. Must unlock 3rd Tomoe Sharingan.

Overcoming the fear within your heart, you are able to catch the Legendary Samurai Brothers off guard, temporarily paralyzing them, but leaving them open long enough for a counter attack. Your kunai are closing to piercing their heads, but before they can, the proctors, who had been situated around the entire area, appeared at its center, deflecting it, and ending the match that instant. Naota had won.

Ryoto walked forward, clapping his hands, and smiling at his old rival, Aki, as he approached them with the two brothers. He had a grimace, as usual, but he held scornful words for another time. Unlike most people who bribed, he was not above praising the boy for his superior combat skills. At the end of the day, they were all Konoha shinobi. Each of them was comrades who would aid each other on the battlefield.

“Well done, kid.”

a brief pause, and slight grin.

“What’s your name?”

he wanted to know.
