And just like that the Kazekage had departed, in an incomprehensible flash that even my eyes barely registered. His chakra signature had completely vanished and wasn't discernible within the massive range of my Byakugan. In-fucking-credible, I mused; enamored by the idea that power of that degree could be attained by someone as lowly as the Kazekage. Despite his allegiance with The First Tsuchikage and Kouketsu Uchiha, who were purportedly some of the strongest men our world has ever seen, I knew somewhere within me that I was better than him.

That power will be mine.

My lust would transmogrify to ire, grounded in the fact that the elusive Kazekage had slipped through my fingers when he was right where I had him. And when a jarring voice cut out from the short distance ahead of me, I turned to face the sand-man I'd been left alone with. I noticed right off that his chakra, once ebullient, had since calmed down in what he later affirmed was an act of peace. His declaration, that the Sanbi was of higher priority than a petty confrontation between opposing villages, sadly fell upon deaf ears. I could not have cared less about that ridiculous freak of nature.

What I saw before me, in the sand-man, was something more special; a personal treasure that far outweighed the prospect of sealing the Sanbi for Iwagakure's sake. The Village Hidden in the Rocks was insurmountable, with or without the power of a Bijuu. What laid before me was a trophy, confined within the conscience of a noticeably weak man. His Kekkei Genkai was the first I'd ever seen of it's type and I could already tell that he did not deserve to wield it's power.

I remained silent as he spoke, with a statuesque poise that intentionally hid my disdain for him and his cowardly village. My hawkish glare should have been enough to leave him on the defensive, but he chose to ignore that, so I held no qualms with exterminating him like the insect he was.

As far as I knew, he intended to distract me with the Sanbi so that he, like his pussy of a Kage, could assail when and where I least expected. And when I saw him attempt to slowly circumvent his gourd I immediately responded by bringing my hands together to form a set of hand seals¹, focusing my chakra during the process.

'Of course he would...'

The sarcastic quip would go unvoiced despite Ryuuji's displeasure, his own hands coming together swiftly to form a handseal. Of course, as he held it he would continue his retreat, running south along the beach at a much swifter pace (4m/s) to distance himself approximately sixteen meters from his foe.


Why the man wanted to fight in this situation boggled his mind, but then again, perhaps he sincerely didn't care about the giant monstrosity that loomed off in the distance, merely waiting to wake and destroy all who opposed it. Perhaps he merely sought sport in fighting those who wished to obtain it. Perhaps he was a madman who sought to see it wreak further havoc. Of this Ryuuji could not be certain, nor could he even begin to attempt to discern his motives. All he could do now was fight, and hopefully either force a draw, or win swiftly and decisively. It would not do well to face off against this man here and now for a prolongued time...

Was going to fix this for the sake of clarifying my actions to prolong the fight, but since this is less about fun and more about how bad I fucked up, I changed everything back to the initial post so everyone can see the glory of my stupidity.

[Jae]

"ARE YOU ALL THAT SUNGAKAURE HAS TO OFFER?!I pridefully chanted from my stationary position while the man retreated, in what appeared to be an attempt to create some distance between us. What a poor display of virility. He did not deserve to stand on the same battlefield as me, the God of War!

My hand seals would complete shortly after he finished his own and began his withdrawal, to which my chakra would burst forth in a brilliant display of control, quickly igniting¹ before chasing the coward at a pace that nearly doubled his own (8 m/ps).⁰

Once the line of flames reached him they would each branch off into their own separate line, circumventing him and eventually closing to encapsulate his being. The circle formed would instantly erupt into a wall of flames that surrounded him (that he would unwittingly crash into had he not stopped his sprint). But I was not done. His lack of valor sickened me and I would spare him no second of existing in the same plane as I did.

I'd reach a hand out and clench my fist to signal the end, which caused the circular entrapment to close in on itself quickly in what would hopefully be an incredible explosion that ended this peon's miserable existence. "BOW BEFORE THE GOD OF WAR!"

Ryuuji is running at 4 meters per second. Hibashiri travels at 8 meters per second. If I'm getting this right, your intended distance of travel would take 3 seconds. Hibashiri would reach you in 1 - 2 seconds leaving you approximately 8 - 10 meters away from me.)

0. Enkou Shinka (Essence of the Sacred Flames)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Katon (Fire) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Range of flame control and speed at which one can produce them depends on the highest rank known.
D: 10 meter range / 2 meter per second
C: 20 meter range / 4 meter per second
B: 30 meter range / 6 meter per second
A: 40 meter range / 8 meter per second
S: 50 meter range / 10 meter per second
Description: Katon, the birth of the flame itself. With but a mere thought, masters of the flame learn to birth their fire over large expanses. Intense training opens the door for other techniques, but they all rely on one simple core - the user's ability to birth a flame from a distance.
Domain: Katon.

1. Hibashiri (Running Fire)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: High
Special: Distance at which the stream can travel and height of flame rings depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shika' rank, halved. Up to 1 stream can be produced at any given time, resulting in one imprisoned target; each time retrained however, one extra stream is gained, and thus, one extra potential target. However, after every second retraining, chakra consumption goes up by one.
Description: An excellent trapping jutsu, this allows the Katon user to essentially generate rings of fire around their opponent. After a few brief handseals, the user sends a stream of fire across the ground moving at high speeds, aiming to strike their target. However, rather than burning on impact, the fire stream quickly splits in two so that it may surround the target in a circular manner. Once the two meet again on the other side, a wall of fire double that of the victim's size is erected all around (underground included), with heat and intensity of flame doubling. From there, the user may choose to either close the prison in on the victim, or keep it active for the sake of interrogation.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'A'.

Regardless of boosts, all Players will be able to form seals at a speed of two (2) seals per second! When determining the count of handseals in a jutsu, use the smaller number for more common techniques of that rank, and the larger number for the rare/unique ones!


E: 1
D: 2–3
C: 4–5
B: 6–7
A: 8–9
S: 10+

Assuming I started moving once I saw you begin to form handseals, following making my own, I would have had about 3 seconds worth of movement before your technique was finished, allowing me to reach ten meters successfully.

His fire was fast, but Ryuuji's sand was faster. The flicker of flame before him was all the cue the sunagami needed to bring up a five meter wide and tall wall of sand some ten meters away to choke off the flame, forcing it to either go around, or over the creation used to block it, if it even could do so. Either way, he continued to move back, now with twice the speed he had exhibited before, unhappy at the situation. Katon wasn't something he liked to deal with if he could at all avoid it. The idea of being turned to glass wasn't something he much enjoyed.

Needless to say, he would continue backing away, sand sliding beneath his feet, as he faced down his aggressor. The distance would grow rapidly to thirty meters. He would continue moving back as needed, his eyes on his foe, ready to react if need be. He only hoped he could reach a position that would allow him some sense of dominance.

Saton Ryuuken (Sand Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Saton Kekkei Touta
Handseals: No
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra: --
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Saton (Sand) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Amount of sand controlled and speed at which one can control the sand particles depends on highest rank known. Additionally, highest rank also determines the density of the sand, to the point it will be immune to certain elements of lesser form - for example, a 'D' ranked water jutsu won't ruin a 'C' ranked sand creation. This applies to liquid or viscous type creations, as well as fire-based creations. Flames stronger than the sand can potentially ruin the particles by transmuting it into other material such as glass.

D: 10 meters / 2 meters per second
C: 20 meters / 4 mps
B: 30 meters / 6 mps
A: 40 meters / 8 mps
S: 50 meters / 10 mps


Description: The basis behind the majority of Saton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very sand around them. 'Sand Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Saton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the sand around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Saton.

Suna no Tate (Shield of Sand)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Saton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes [1]
Chakra: Low - High (Mid with Mastery)
Special: Size of sand shield is directly proportionate to attack being blocked. Blocks a single ranked attacks equal in strength anywhere within a 360 degree radius, as long as the user can see the incoming attack. Highest rank known determines the level of attacks blocked.
Description: Although appearing to be one of the most basic sand jutsu, Suna no Tate is a technique that soon evolves into the user’s most sacred defensive countermeasure. When needed, the user can also use their own chakra to control the sand so that it can act as a barrier. Because the protection is reliant upon how quickly the user’s sand can respond, it is possible a fast enough ninja can bypass the sand and strike the user.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryouuken.

Suna Suberasu (Sand Slide)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Saton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Mid (Sliding over Sand - Low)
Special: Doubles user’s maximum movement speed by creating a steady blast of sand under the Sunagami's feet, allowing them to slide efficiently. When sliding over sand, chakra cost for the slide is reduced by one consumption level.
Description: One of the Sunagami’s greatest advantages comes from their very essence, their layers of sandy substance able to instantly provide the user with a limited yet versatile source of Saton. In this case, the user is able to mold chakra on the same path that’s used to keep their appendages in place, allowing an extra amount of chakra to constantly cover their feet. This chakra allows the user to essentially slide or ‘surf’ across the ground at steady speeds for as long as the user’s chakra network can sustain. Because the sand provided comes from the user's own sand body, they can ride on any form of surface inclined or flat, as long as they have the chakra and said areas do not pose threats to the Sunagami's life - i.e. fire, water, etc. A unique amount of sand is always left behind, a trail of dark-brown grains revealing the traveling Sunagami's next destination.
Domain: Sunagami. Sunayama no Jutsu 'C'.

Considering the sand-nymph was facing the opposite direction and, henceforth, could not recognize that an attack was being set forth in his direction; Hibashiri was executed flawlessly entrapping him within the confines of the scorching prison.

My seamless transition into the closing phase of my attack left hardly any time for my opponent to react, and thus I assumed him dead. He was a weakling and I expected nothing less from the Kazekage's stock of inept flunkies. He was one himself, after all.

[Shinryu]

His death was swift, but not painless. The flames seared his sandy being, melting him slowly, as the fire licked and consumed him; turning him into a molten statue; a mere reflection of his former self, as clear now as his troubled soul had been through life. He had seen much, but through this purging he finally felt free; coward though he was he had always sought death in some form, and he could have sworn despite the pain, pain he thought he had been incapable of feeling, he was now finally free from the torment and torture of those who had looked down upon him for so long.

He ought to have screamed for the pain, but all that escaped the twisted husk of him were a few short sobs and a sigh of relief. A small tear rolled out from the eye of the disfigured mass that was what remained of him; the first in thirty years. It evaporated in the heat, before the resulting explosion shattered his molten glass body into pieces, scattering them to the wind, along with all but the memories of what had once been the man, and the ninja, known as Nakajima Ryuuji.

I'd approach the glass sculpture of a man in order to inspect his frame. It was truly an amazing sight to see, the statuesque humanoid figure appeared to be a treasure; one that I wished to take for my own to use as decoration for the temple. Unfortunately, I hadn't a scroll large enough to seal him within it -- or even the knowledge to do such a thing.

Depowering my Byakugan, I started to face about until I noticed something nestled within the center of the glass man's body. It appeared to be... a piece of paper; perfectly intact and rolled up. Without hesitation I thrust my hand into the figure and there it crumbled before me, spilling out it's contents onto the sand floor below.

Kneeling to inspect it, I unraveled it only to discover it was a world map -- one with Sunagakure's location marked on it. This was pertinent information that I knew Lady Coco and, above all, Lord Seidou would appreciate. I immediately removed my own map so that I could copy the location from the fallen Sand Ninja's to my own.

Without a pen or pencil, I observed the village's location and converged chakra into my little finger. This chakra, aligned with my Katon chakra nature, produced a heat at the tip of my finger that was cool enough to keep from destroying the parchment, but hot enough to leave a black singe atop it's well drawn jurisdictions.

A simple touch onto the area where Sunagakure was marked left a small black dot the size of my finger where the Sand Ninja's world map revealed it to be. Though I'd lost the Kazekage himself, the knowledge of his village's location was now property of Iwagakure.

Knowledge of Sungakure's Location Obtained.
