meeting with the mentor [yotsuba/naga/inv]

[Naitome]

It was a sensation much like drowning. He sat in a dense forest of overlapping wooden tusks, lit by the moon, jutting from the ground at bizarre angles covered in fog, and sprouting monochromatic blue flowers dripping dull pollen spores like viscera. His legs were crossed, both Akurojin-no-hi and Nameless, the blessed nodachi of the Death Coils, were strapped to his back with thin chain, and his eyes were closed against the surrounding dampness.

Beneath the lids, the red flare of his Sharingan was not present, and the dull black pupils shifted slightly, as if in nightmare, his thoughts sinking deeper and deeper into the recesses of his own memory. If he leaned forward just a few feet, close to the land's edge as he was, he would surely fall into the great swamp before him and be flushed by a sluice of dirty water into the greater expanse of the Salt Brine Loch. For the moment, he was blissfully unaware of the presence of others, and his forehead was absent the simple metal protector that declared allegiance to Kirigakure No Sato. Alone. Undisturbed. Waiting calmly and breathing deep and concerned primarily with how the remainder of his day might unfold.

There is no emotion, there is peace. His palms rose, closing to form the tiger handseal slowly and deliberately, nostrils flaring in the dark. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. His hands broke the seal, fingers folded, allowing the naturally built tension to fall away. There is no passion, there is serenity. A swelling of chakra built within him, a heartbeat, a steady pulse of flaring spiritual and physical energy that fluctuated in a clockwise rotation away from his core. There is no chaos, there is harmony. The temperature around him increased subtly, as the tiniest particles of katon chakra seemed birthed from his skin and ignited into finality around him.

[Rui]

This foreign land had been much different than the one Midori had been birthed to. Unlike the Land of Grass, this place had been covered with mist. A thick fog that obscured the visions of others from far away. However, it wasn’t too humid, and was something that Midori himself could get used to. It wasn’t often that he left his country, but there were things that needed to be handled.

Trekking slowly through the dense forest, it had been a matter of time before he reached a cliff. He intended to sit on it, and let his feet dangle through the air. He had opted out of using his Mayfly to travel. Of course, this left him aching in a multitude of places. He needed to rest, but it would seem like somebody else shared the same idea as him. Most of the visage he gazed upon had been the back of a man who had been relaxing in his place.

“Perfect…” he said, watching as the man bellowed out a fireball from his gullet. Midori had peculiar interest in those with skill. Perhaps this man had been somebody of recognition. It had been too early to make a decision, but it was obvious what he wanted. Approaching the man, hopefully his presence would be picked up. If not, he’d simply tap him on his shoulders to get his attention.

[Naitome]

"Perfect..."

A voice sounded behind him; it was strange to hear amid the conflicting pattern of other voices, other moments, that circulated through Akuharu's mind. He'd not been overly cognizant of his surroundings, and it would take the touch of the newcomer to fully rouse him from his own pondering. The Kirigakure Shinobi opened his eyes then, turning to face the stranger and smiling politely as he took in the young man's interesting appearance. His skin was the same shade as the surrounding wilds and he smelled remotely of flowers, pleasant, but somehow unnatural as he was glanced over, and met with a simple greeting.

Hello. I hope I haven't disturbed your view.

He turned back, allowing the rush of colliding energies to wane reflexively, another deep breath steadying his form as he stood, taking a final look out at the swamp before him. His feet would pivot on the damp ground and, bending at the knee's, he bowed briefly before adding

I am Akuharu. Your appearance is...quite remarkable. Are you a guardian of this place? It seems built for you, somehow.

His voice was only partially muffled by the silvered mesh mask obscuring the lower half of his face, but his eyes were sincere, and he seemed to smile even without his mouth being visible.

[Rui]

There were two things noticeable about this individual. He had been polite, which is something unheard of in a world where everybody is out to kill each other. Not only that, but he had been humble enough to introduce himself. Taking that into consideration, there had been nothing for Midori to fear. He wouldn’t try anything slick. For now, he’d talk to the man, and hopefully learn more about where he came from.

“It’s fine. I wasn’t able to see much anyways. Besides, you seem more interesting,” he said, wondering about the man before him. He had been calm, yet something was off about his demeanor. Midori, piqued with interest, had wondered what is. Maybe the boy had something to hide. People are known to lie when they’re concealing secrets. It was up to Midori to find out his true worth.

“Akuharu, you say? I’m Midori. I’m not here to guard this place. I’m actually not even from this country. I traveled from a land far away. The Land of Grass is my home,” he said, giving the person a little bit of info about his back story. Midori had much to offer, and there wasn’t anything he was willing to hide. An honest heart got further than those drenched in the waters of deception. This demeanor had only been temporary, though. There was much he needed to know, and he’d do anything to find out.

[Naitome]

"It’s fine. I wasn’t able to see much anyways. Besides, you seem more interesting."

The young man answered casually, and Akuharu smiled again at the compliment. He brushed the hair from his face as a small wind began to pick up, and listened patiently as his new acquaintance spoke again.

"Akuharu, you say? I’m Midori. I’m not here to guard this place. I’m actually not even from this country. I traveled from a land far away. The Land of Grass is my home."

Midori. Well met. Kusa No Kuni? I have never been, but I have heard of its beauty before, particularly the large number of plant species unique to that region and climate. I have often imagined exploring such places, studying them, figuring out how they differ from other places I have traveled in my time. I have been in Mizu No Kuni for nearly a year, and it seems that this land has seldom more to offer than the endless procession of mist.

Akuharu spoke like a poet, as if older than he actually was, a halting pattern of gently overlapping tones that signified one who'd learned language only from the pages of ancient books and was thus unaccustomed to the modern flow of language.

There is a root that grows there, near the few bodies of water substantial enough to be classified as lakes, Ashtamangala Naraka. Like a rose, but marked with ribbons of violet and bright white. I believe it is used to cure madness.

He gazed into the sky, struggling to remember the fading heliotype the Six Paths of The Moon had shown him as a boy, his tiny fingers prodding the page as if the plant could spring forth and be touched. His gaze fell back upon Midori and careful not to be rude, he looked over the large structure that seemed to enclose the young man's dual-colored body, nodding as if in approval.

I am not completely certain where I am from, though I spent a great deal of time at the sea.

Perhaps that's why I've come here. Perhaps I am only truly at home when surrounded by water, in whatever form it may take.

[Rui]

He had already managed to acquire information from the boy. However, what he had learned had been meager compared to what he wanted to know. He didn’t have interest in the country nor the village that it had established years ago during the era of war. There had been one thing he wanted, and it had been power. Just gazing into the eyes of the boy, he could feel it. Something dormant was resting within him, and it was up to Midori to bring it out.

“While all those things are quite interesting, I can’t seem to knock this feeling. There is definitely something about you. But I’m not the type to prowl. Maybe you could explain why I feel this way. Or perhaps, show me,” he said. Midori hadn’t been looking for a fight. It’s just the full moon had always brought out another side of him. It was as if he became a voracious demon looking to feast upon the knowledge provided by others. He wanted to know everything there was to know about Akuharu, and he wouldn’t leave until he knew.

[Naitome]

"While all those things are quite interesting, I can’t seem to knock this feeling. There is definitely something about you. But I’m not the type to prowl. Maybe you could explain why I feel this way. Or perhaps, show me."

Akuharu heard, and shrugged lightly, allowing his face to settle into the somewhat incomplete smile allowed by his mask. He reached out, seeking to place his hand gently atop the man's shoulder, devoid of the hostile tinge most conveyed with such gestures. His head shifted quizzically to the side as the dulcet tenor of his voice rang out, a little softer than before.

I have little to hide, and even less to prove, my friend.

Akuharu said simply, his body relaxed, his thoughts roaming patiently through Midori's words.

Often, those searching for things hidden will find them, whether or not they are actually there. Tell me, what sort of feeling is it?

[Rui]

“It’s the type of feeling that you get when…” he’d briefly pause, not finishing his words. Midori had been lost in thought. He didn’t really know what to say or how to respond. There had been many things he didn’t know. That was the whole purpose of his journey. Instead of answering the question the man he provided, he would ask him something of his own.

“What is it that you desire?” Midori wanted to know what the man wanted. Everybody had something deep within their heart that they wished to obtain. For him, it had been power. But what did Akuharu desire? It didn’t matter what it was. The road Midori had taken had opened up a lot of opportunities to take claim of what it is he wanted. Perhaps he could share it with the boy. Only if he told him what it was.

Midori would flicker his eyes, looking to his left, and looking at the hand that was placed upon his shoulder. He didn’t mind the contact. It’d strengthen their bond. That played a pivotal role in awakening the power the boy had desperately wanted to conceal. It wouldn’t be too long now before he opened up to him. All he had to do now was wait. He’d smile, before clasping his hands together to perform a set of hand seals^1A. There was something he needed to do.

[Naitome]

“It’s the type of feeling that you get when…” he’d briefly pause, not finishing his words. Midori had been lost in thought.

The pause in Midori's train of thought was all that Akuharu had required, his right hand's grip on the boys shoulder tightening to pull him forward a second before, as simultaneously his left hand rose, a charge of energy rising as it rushed forward, palm extended, to release a wave of chakra at point blank range directly into the Kusa native's face. By pulling and pushing at the same time, Akuharu ensured that the full brunt of the attack would successfully knock his 'opponent' a full five meters back, but as the attack would land, Akuharu's feet would near instantaneously disappear in a fluttering of steps. The shimmering motion would carry him around and behind Midori, coming to rest directly in the young man's path mid-air, and catching him by the back of his head with his now outstretched left arm as Midori's body still flew, propelled by pure concussive force, avoiding the sharper spines jutting out from the pitcher-plant like contraption woven to his body.

Midori would have little time to catch his bearings, of course, as he'd no doubt be disoriented by the direct blow to his head, and Akuharu's left arm drove the boy downwards, forcefully, into the very ground he seemed birthed from. He would not release that grip until his own right arm had gathered and released yet another burst of chakra, this time, catching the back of the boy's head with a crushing impact he would now be virtually unable to avoid. With a successful second attack, Akuharu would withdraw Nameless from it's sheathe, his heavy boot stomping into the boy's oddly structured covering to keep him in place, the blade coming down in a simple stabbing motion that would pierce through [approximately] the back of the boy's heart.

The entire time, the smile would not leave Akuharu's face, though in reality, he was a bit saddened that so many questions had been asked and answered without the possibility of a truly peaceful encounter. Though the young man's survival was unlikely, a flush of chakra would nevertheless flow through the Kirigakure shinobi's body, readying himself for the rigors of a 'battle' he'd attempted to avoid.

The pause in Midori's train of thought was all that Akuharu had required, his right hand's grip on the boys shoulder tightening to pull him forward a second before, as simultaneously his left hand rose, a charge of energy rising as it rushed forward, palm extended, to release a wave of chakra at point blank range directly into the Kusa native's face.

Just like that, the boy he who wielded the power he sought began to fight back. He didn’t take it as much of a surprise. Midori had lied to many people to obtain what he wanted. Akuharu was no different. However, if he thought he’d be able to take Midori out with a meager punch, he had another thing coming. The moment he pulled down, Midori would split. Of course, he’d still have his white half within his grasp, but that didn’t matter. With Mayfly, the black half would submerge himself within the ground.

The white half had been knocked back by the punch, but he was far from incapacitated. Although kinda disoriented, and still airborne, he could make hand seals. It wouldn’t take him long to complete them. By the time his opponent had met him on the other side; two jutsu had already been set. White Midori would succumb to the second punch delivered by his foe, but during this, he’d exhale a noxious yellow has from his gullet. Its purpose was to paralyze his foe, and considering their distance had been close, his next inhale would be his last.

The black half, taking advantage of the jutsu White Midori had used, had opened up a trap door below the feet of his opponent. If everything went as planned, both White Midori, and Akuharu would fall in. The later would be stunned, and that would give Black Midori enough time to merge with his other half, and take their leave. They had already acquired what they wanted. Anything else the boy had to offer was useless.

Kagerou (Mayfly)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Mokuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid [initial + upkeep]
Special: The range one can travel depends on the user's 'Mokusei Akuryou'. Because Kuro-Shiro are naturally one with Mokuton, they can remain inside a substance indefinitely without needing air, so long as they have the chakra to keep it up.
Description: Kagerou allows the user to merge their body with the ground (or sand) and any plant or tree large enough to conceal their size. They have the option to be fully submerged in the substance or only partially submerged. Then, using a network of organic matter they can travel through it at fast speeds.
Domain: Kuro-Shiro. Mokusei Akuryou 'C'.

Ne Tsuiseki (Root Tracking)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Mokuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: D - Low, C - Low x4, B - Low x8, A - Mid, S - Mid x2
Special: Range the roots can spread depends on the rank of the technique. To sense another person, they have to be physically touching the surface above the roots.

D: 10 meters.
C: 20 meters.
B: 30 meters.
A: 40 meters.
S: 50 meters.


Description: After having learned Ne Tsuiseki, when the Kuro-Shiro submerges themself with the use of Kagerou they are given the ability to sense those around them. With a simple thought, their chakra leeches out around them and combines with organic material, which turns into roots. These roots spread out close to the surface of the substance, picking up on physical vibrations that run through. This is especially helpful when underground, as the Kuro-Shiro will be able to pinpoint the location of a living being that walks across the ground in their range. The downside, however, is that they will not be able to tell if that being is a person or animal without help.
Domain: Kuro-shiro. Mokusei Akuryou of equal rank. Kagerou.

Hikimado (Trap Door)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Mokuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: The opening of trap door is a perfect circle with a diameter of 3 meters. Cannot be used in sand. Only a single trap door can be made per use of the jutsu.
Description: After using Kagerou to conceal themself beneath the ground, the Kuro-Shiro will perform a set of handseals to help channel their Mokuton chakra. This chakra manipulates various organic materials in the earth, which create a false ceiling above their head that blends in with the terrain around it, whether that means growing new grass or being muddy. Roots run all through this chakra-infused area, giving it a latch on one side that effectively turns it into a trap door.
Domain: Kuro-Shiro. Mokusei Akuryou 'D'. Kagerou.

Kizetsu Houshi (Stun Spore)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Clan Kekkei Touta / Mokuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: The cloud's range is equal to half the range of 'Mokusei Akuryou.' When enhaled, these spores will cause paralysis of the muscles for 1 full turn, making it impossible for the victim to move during that time. The spores can effect friend and foe alike, but will not work on any member of the Kuro-Shiro bloodline. A Fuuton technique of equal or lower rank can disperse the spores. When first learned, this technique can only be used 1 time per thread, plus 1 more time with each retraining. However, can only be used 4 times maximum per thread.
Description: The Kuro-Shiro is adept at mimicking the effects of various plants, which is where this technique originated from. After performing a set of handseals, the user inhales and then exhales a dense, yellow cloud of tiny particles. If breathed in by an opponent, these spores will cause muscular paralysis. The Kuro-Shiro should avoid heavy winds at all costs when utilizing this technique.
Domain: Kuro-Shiro. Mokusei Akuryou 'C'.

Mokusei Yokuatsu (Wooden Suppression)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Clan Kekkei Touta / Mokuton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid [initial] / Low [upkeep]
Special: While using Kagerou to meld with the ground or tree, the Kuro-Shiro can use Mokusei Yokuatsu to suppress their chakra so that they cannot be detected. Not even sensors or chakra-seeing Doujutsu are capable of locating them. This suppression lasts for 1 turn to start and with each retraining lasts 1 more turn. Can be activated at will and ended at will, however, it requires a cooldown of 1 turn before it can be reused.
Description: When the Kuro-Shiro feels that they need to hide more fully than just being within a substance can provide them, they can mentally activate Mokusei Yokuatsu. The organic material around them forms a special barrier with their chakra, almost like a caccoon, that prevents their chakra from being detected. If used correctly, this technique can be a highly effective reconnaissance tactic.
Domain: Kuro-Shiro. Mokusei Akuryou 'C'. Kagerou.

Battle Moderation:

The first notable and direct error lies in the post of Zetsu in reaction to —— a in regards to the technique Karada Bunkatsu no Jutsu (Body-Splitting Technique). That technique reads as follows, noting the underlined portion:

Karada Bunkatsu no Jutsu (Body-Splitting Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Secret Ninjutsu Technique
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: High
Special: The user's chakra is divided equally between Black and White, and each are able to use any jutsu that the user knows. The only way for the halves to recombine is to meet up, however the collective Kuro-Shiro member regains all chakra and knowledge from both halves. Because Black and White are physical beings, they are able to travel as far away from each other as they like; the user is permitted double RP thread count so long as half is Black and half is White. The downside to this is that if either side dies, it is gone forever! The user will only have the remaining side to RP with and will be stuck with only half of their total chakra pool.
Description: Karada Bunkatsu is a keystone technique of the Kuro-Shiro bloodline. The user focuses chakra throughout their body. Slowly, the black half and the white half split down the middle and pull apart from one another. Each half regrows a leg, arm, and missing body mass out of white substance. However, this regrown area appears slightly disfigured and is incapable of creating finer details like eyes and ears. Black and White each keep a half of the venus flytrap growth on their body. These two halves act independently from one another, and to fit with the ying-yang symbolism of their clan each has a different aspect of the whole's personality.
Domain: Kuro-Shiro. Mokusei Akuryou 'B'.

The splitting is slow, and thus it is unlikely a high-speed Taijutsu attack could be avoided. That said the reaction post is thrown off due to being attacked. Following the flow of battle it continues as follows:

1. The first Shougekishou (Demolishing Rising Palm Thrust) connects squarely with deformed section of the Kuro-Shiro.
2. The second punch barely scratches either half as they are 90% split.
3. The attempted slash/kick to the back of the Kuro-Shiro fails, as the intended target is not in the same position
4. The fray resolves with —— a slightly behind Zetsu, and Zetsu fully split. The fact that all of the rest of Zetsu's post hinged on him splitting causes the rest of that portion to be nulled.

Continue.

[Naitome]

The first of his attacks struck true, though the subsequent assault struck with less than impressive force due to the bizarre nature of his opponents abilities. Midori's dual colored halves seemed capable of splitting in half, allowing him to avoid taking more damage from Akuharu's palm thrust. The stomping motion of his foot had also done little, as he now stood, slightly behind [less than 1 meter] the strange Grass Country being, his previous downward sword strike having stabbed the space between the split halves. Before allowing Midori the opportunity or time to perform more of his bizarre jutsu, Nameless would carve its way horizontally through each half of the young man's bodies [at about the height of your elbows], in a sweeping slash caused by Akuharu's own twisting body [spinning 'round to the left], his left foot aimed as he spun to connect under the chin of the body to his right, timed to impact the very instant his blade begun its way through the oddly colored body at his left. It mattered little whether or not the kick connected, as it was merely something else for Midori to worry about, and a precursor to the blade finishing its motion through his other form [the body on the right], splitting the boy, uniquely enough, in four.

Of course, the chakra he'd previously gathered had already been forced through the Tenketsu of Akuharu's eyes, the dull black blooming into a deep crimson that allowed him to track whatever possible motions the boy attempted to dodge the follow-up attacks. Neither form would be allowed to escape his gaze as his pivoting maneuver completed, the substantial length and weight of the blessed Nodachi allowing it the reach and power necessary to cleave his opponent apart. His grip on the blade, however, was not so tight as to disallow the possibility of releasing it when necessary, though for now, he kept it in hand, his cursed dojutsu seeing all that fell before them.

Midori had been a sharp thinker, but Akuharu had been physically faster. This was apparent after his punch had been landed successfully to the duos face. Although it may have let them disoriented, it wasn’t enough to stop them from countering. With that being the case, the moment his sword stabbed between the intersections of where they had split, each of them would merge into the ground. It wouldn’t take long for this to occur, and once deep within the earth, they’d hide their presence, and disappear.

Battle Moderation:

Regarding Handseals and Karada Bunkatsu no Jutsu (Body-Splitting Technique), I think the only way to call this is as like this: It is possible yes to hold seals to complete a technique later than one wanted to given you do not do another technique that would interrupt that proper flow of chakra. In this case, splitting as determined by that technique, effectively splits your 'pool' in half. I determine it as a likely interruption to that very flow of chakra resulting in not being able to properly continue Mayfly upon split.

At the same time I don't believe an unaided Ninjutsu Primary's slash could properly cleave both halves in such a way, at least not ALL the way. An arm is removed at the elbow, and the battle unfortunately continues from there. No Mayfly was performed.

[Rui]

Having grown tired of the battle between him and Akuharu, Midori would take the next few moments to make his move. Although his opponent had sliced him, he had forgotten one thing: the members of the Kuro-Shiro clan were gods. There hadn’t been a thing that could kill them. His failure to realize this would cost him his kill he had been so desperate to get. Once he completed his first action, the duo split.

Rising from the ground, away from the blade that he had stabbed between them, they darted forth toward the cliff. It wouldn’t take them no longer than one second to reach the edge. This is because he had only punched them five meters away before he attempted to end their life. During this, they’d merge back together, and perform hand seals. By the time they were ready to jump, their jutsu had been complete. Releasing the noxious yellow gas from his gullet, he had been gone. All that could be heard now was the splash from the water below.
