Through the Looking Glass [Q]

[Messatsu!]

Categorizing Genryu and Ryusuke as Uncle and nephew would do their relationship a great injustice, they were more than that. Genryu even as a young teen watched Ryu come into this through his sisters blessing, and cherishing his family nearly more than anything, a innate bond had already been made even well before he was even conceived. Genryu's bonds were stronger and ran deeper than any vein, seemingly unbreakable. As Genryu himself grew, he watched Ryu grow as well, witnessing everything from his first steps to his first words and sentences, even taking him to and fro during his years at the academy.

The two trained together endlessly, watching the fruits of their training regimes come to fruition as they pulled mission after mission. Ryu was talented, and though it made not have seemed as such, Genryu learned from him as Ryu did from Genryu. The only thing that could have possibly made the two differ from one another was time and experience, much if which Ryu lacked during his sessions with Genryu as by then even his sharingan was fully matured, but not yet mastered. Even so he still looked upon Ryu in high regards, considering him a genius of his generation that would eventually go on and accomplish far greater things than the average genius.

The night was still young, and so had been the drive for combat, however, their quick, long strides came to a abrupt halt as Ryu ceased his movements altogether. With the world itself and everything it entailed falling victim to Genryu's senses, he picked up on the lack of furthering steps immediately, stopping some five meters from Ryu. Genryu pivoted upon his heel, bringing himself to face Ryusuke properly with his sanguine optic radiating with crimson brilliance just as Ryu's own did.

He seemed surprised and petrified by the weight of his words, truth be told, who could blame him, Hokage was a title not taken lightly, although it came with political power, with it also came a myriad of responsibilities.

"....Yes you Ryu. Have you lost faith in who you are. You're a genius who've accomplished more than i did at your age, and you are still growing. I've watched you for majority of your life, give or take the couple of years I was away, I know what you're capable of....and you should too. So...get yer panties out of a bunch and pull yourself together, haha you're looking pathetic, you've got a matured sharingan for Christ sake.

[Trigga]

“I’m no genius...” Ryūsuke appallingly commented in such a low monotone it would be difficult for Genryū at his distance to clearly insinuate what was said. Eyes, though a vivid crimson which signified maturity held the essence of a forlorn child as the scarlet-haired allowed his head to drop forward in such a dismal conduct, it was almost repulsive to look at. His frame loss all confidence, with only the weight of disappointment holding his deportment afloat a sea of endless emotions that sailed through his mind at such a rate it was hard to accurately gauge the sensations he felt.

From a child, Ryūsuke was constantly told the opposite of what his uncle relayed to him now. A Genius amongst his clan wasn’t a scarcity, but a regular sight. Ryūsuke as far as most considered wasn’t even par—yet sub-par. Never had he once been called a genius save by his mother and Uncle. Regardless, it came off as sibling commiseration. Cute and considerate, one who was told such crude things throughout the bulk of his life couldn’t possibly believe the otherwise to be ingenuous. His hair differed from the norm, and even the tinge of his eyes was more anomalous then accepted. He was an average Shinobi, and that’s all he’d ever be.

Even his own father felt embarrassed. This was more so considering the fact the young Uchiha seldom felt the need to demonstrate his skills and as such the primitiveness of his true talent was held captive from the world. A father’s words were suppose to be uplifting and reassuring, yet his father uttered the exact opposite; Genryū was even there for some of the verbal maiming which triggered numerous arguments ending ill for both parties. Ryūsuke never saw the significance of the term Genius and while others saw it as a sign of deliverance, it was nothing more than jargon that held little relevance after death.

He sighed, and soon lifted his head, allowing his violet oculars to finally settle upon the frame of his respective counterpart. “Do you really feel I could be Hokage?” He inquired, and sought not a pity commentary, but a truthful rejoinder. The response itself would either cripple or uplift the young Shinobi and would dictate much in his future to come. Hopefully Genryū was earnest in his previous statement and knew exactly what he was talking about. A delicate situation this was, and while the older Uchiha was normally bold and forthright, he was uncomfortably honest about much that he spoke.

[Messatsu!]

It was true that Genryu caught wind of the verbal abuse Ryu experienced, most of it used in conversations when Genryu had spoken to his sisters husband from time to time about Ryu's talents and potential. The two men, more often than not disagreed upon a great many things if not all. The same blood and power ran through their veins, however, the mind behind said powers were all the more different. Genryu saw Ryusuke's father as little more than a failed perfectionist of a father, always setting his expectation so a point where even the gods would look upon him in bewilderment. Despite being revered by many Uchiha and konoha populace, Genryu too was called a 'failure' by Ryusuke's father.

True, 'genius' was a common title that nearly all uchiha found themselves glued to, but to Genryu, that title was false. Though it was his own kin, he looked upon them as nothing more than 'talented pups' that merely knew what to do, how to do it, and who to do in front of at the right time. Genryu -at least he himself felt as such- knew the potential and how exceedingly powerful he was during their times spent training. To Genryu, a genius was someone who dazzingly skilled in any and all fields, someone who had exceptional intellectual ability and originality, and exceptional creativity when it comes to combat. Ryusuke fit the description to well, no matter how many thought otherwise and no matter how many attempted to prove it wrong.

Over time, Genryu noticed something about their clan's doujutsu, people have forgotten that the sharingan in itself was a clan jewel, a rarity. It was a grand accomplishment to obtain the sharingan alone, and to have nearly mastered its capabilities in and of itself speaks louder than any maiming words. It was difficult indeed to fully hear what Ryusuke mumbled beneath his breath, but given the silence of the night and the halted steps, it was still hard to hear. However, Ryusuke forgot that Genryu possessed the crimson trio eye as he did, and as such granted him the ability to read even the faintest of bodily movements, namely the moving of ones own lips.

"I'm no Genius?"

The thought coursed through his mind as it reverberated perpetually like agitating ripples in still water. An expression of shock plastered itself across Genryu's face as his eyebrows contorted and furrowed in anger. With quick long strides he made his way towards Ryu, gripping his collar tightly with a hand of right, pulling him upwardly upon the tips of his toes.

How dare you say some bullshit like that Ryusuke!! I'm the one who should be saying that!! I'm not the genius, you are!! I'm not sure if you stopped to pop you pathetic ass bubble of sorrow and sadness but last time i check all of your statistics surpassed my own several times over!! Sure everyone claimed that you weren't a genius as well as your own father!! But think!! Who was there, and who wasn't when you busted your as for hours in the name of growing stronger!! I WAS AND SO WAS YOUR MOTHER AND KOI. We KNOW the truth about your potential, yet you somehow let the failure of a man that as your old man get the best of you?!!"

[Trigga]

Sorrow had infiltrated: deep distress, sadness, or regret especially for the loss of someone or something loved. No one externally around the Uchiha had died, yet it was extraneous to the true victim of such defacement. The scarlet-haired himself felt empty inside, as if his heart hadn’t pumped blood and his veins were vacant of the crimson red that help sustain life. Normality saw such a sensation as insane or perplexed and as such emotions of this variety were masked from all. A false smile rested on the boy’s lips as he moved through the streets and greeted those who passed by as he himself was greeted upon their arrival.

Disbelief found substance: the act of disbelieving : mental rejection of something as untrue. Akin to stone eventually shattering after unremitting abuse, Ryūuke loss the confidence he once held after years of psychological murder. Accomplishments while holding maudlin importance were nothing to the public without recognition. A member of an elitist clan—one of the founding branches that aided in forming the Hidden Leaf, much was expected of the child. A mission could find completion, and a death of an opponent could be realized, but if your own kin showed discontent in your existence, you were nothing more than a fragment of muck loss within the shadows of the world.

Nonetheless, Hope still glistened: to cherish a desire with anticipation. Even in the deepest of depths, were the shadows weighed profoundly on a person’s being, there was always a light—regardless of its size it existed. A flame still danced within the boy’s heart regardless of its cold exterior. His potential unexploited and spirit alive in the form of determination, there were times when he felt alive. Training with his loved ones, being with his mother and protecting his village; the rationale behind his existence. The entire world could plague him with oral lunacy, yet as long as those three things remained, he had purpose. It just took a significant person to help drag the Uchiha from a darkened place.

Grappled by the collar of his Kosode and tugged in such a manner that almost took him off the ground itself, Ryūsuke peered upwards into the face of true paternity Genryū. A man who expressed such emotion and advocated the life and prospecting future of the younger Shinobi so much so, he neglected all but him. “I—I’m sorry...” Was all that could be heard underneath the murmuring tone of a disenchanted Uchiha. Loss for a moment, Ryūsuke ultimately found himself in reflection as his eyes glimmered the brilliant crimson in all its maturity. Right hand lifting and gradually resting on the forearm of the elder counterpart, the scarlet-haired smiled faintly.

“I’m not a failure..”

[Messatsu!]

“I’m not a failure..”

Heheh, damn right you aren't.....baka!

Quickly and calmly Genryu responded as his anger instantly swapped presence with a more genteel, passionate visage. With a quick Bruce Lee-esque fashion, Genryu flicked his nose with his left thumb. Genryu knew all along of Ryusuke's sadness, yet, what good would it have done him if Genryu merely pampered him each time rough hands of reality tossed him him headlong into steel walls of adversity - absolutely nothing. Only a man can teach a boy how to become one, but not fully, the man can only set the boy upon the right path, but after time goes on he gains his own set of moral values and ideals. From then on it is up to no one but the boy himself to choose what path he walks, such was the formula that true men were comprised of.

Bonds, no matter how deep remain intact, never fully severed, they can only be built upon. At least this was how Genryu saw things during his escapades away from Konohagakure. Sadly, his passionate bonding with his own was short lived as they finally arrived. The assassins finally seemed to have caught up to the Crimson duo, using their sudden halt in progression to their own advantage, not that it mattered at this point. They one announced themselves in the form of a speeding arrow, one of which moved thrice the speed of a kunai. It was a powerful and absurdly fast technique, one of which Ryu himself could have easily perceived, however, his body's primary artistry was not of Taijutsu as Genryu was.

The sharingan could easily track the arrow itself, but whether or not the body would respond correctly is another, Genryu would not take this chance. The arm that tightly held Ryu horizontally extended outwardly, shoving him off a couple of meters whilst jumping sidewardly in the opposite direction causing the speeding arrow to miss his ribs by mere inches. He thought they were in the clear, however, a simple string attached to the back of the air allowed for it act as a guided missle, enough so it looped around attempting to coil about Ryu's body.

Ryu! Cut the string! its controlling the arrow!"

With a fierce tone he dashed forward, following the string of chakra with the purest sense of chakra energies his eyes allowed. The pervasive mist hindered his sight not even the slighest as through his crimson oculars, all he could see was the intangible energies that others could not. The forest was filled with tree's, and as such, Genryu ran roughly 3 meters at top speed, ascending a tree that the string had been protruding from. Sifting through various boughs, the uchiha was met with an array of punches from a six armed man. However, his taijutsu was sub-par at best, allowing Genryu to easily best the man as he struck the joints of his attack, cutting off their momentum before they could even gather power.

The sasanagi continued to come forward with a series of punches from each arm, yet, they all lacked a definite target as simple movements waste-;ess were all that was needed to elude his attacks. They danced along thin boughs like a circus act upon a tight rope, a ninja had to master balance after all, and even more so how to remove it from others. Displeased at his opponents attack Genryu quickly ducked with a spinning low kick that robbed the Sasanagi of all balance as he fell out of the tree, plummeting to the round itself. A quick webbing ejected from his mouth and on to a tree in the distance, preventing his own fall by web swinging to a tree roughly 15 meters away. After the brief skrimish, Genryu dropped alertly to the earthen floor, eyes locked upon the Sasanagi as he took refuge within a 20 meter high tree.

The other stood nearby, hidden, however, even as solid constructs threatened to obscure his vision he could still pierce through its mass and lay eyes upon the two uchiha.

Sharingan Reduction Lvl 4

3rd Tomoe
Rank: A
Type: Doujutsu / Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: Very High
Special: Pierces Genjutsu (illusion control) and Taijutsu (movement prediction) 'A' rank and under. For avoiding incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed and agility will greatly 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.

It was droll how intricate fate’s web could be woven, yet how unproblematic one could navigate through the labyrinth of threads. Each linked one to another, and the entwines signaled joint destines—a beauteous sight it was and one most if not all should heed or respect. The world, like its blue complement was constantly in motion. Waves ostensibly rushed across land without dithering or purpose and as such life moved around in an unreceptive, equitable nature. Some died, some lived, and others learned from their experiences. That was life after all, a learning milieu meant to entice the senses and challenge both body and mind.

Fear and melancholy now reigned absent in a more melodious atmosphere as the two brethren of the same clan found themselves spiraled in what appeared to be deliverance. Genryū amongst many other titles and statures was a man—a loving man who not only cherished his fellow clansmen, but his direct kin. Ryūsuke, being the only nephew and as such, the only male he could tutor, the older more hardened Uchiha held a special, more maudlin relationship with his younger kin. Ryūsuke, on contrary with most beliefs within his clan was just as powerful as the next—if not surpassing them entirely. His strength wasn’t comprised from the legends of his family or even the crimson transience that currently engaged his oculars. It was his heart that evened the field of fate and the will and strength of mind to succeed even faced with hardship.

A moment of peace, like most when placed on a grand scale was only ephemeral, and before he could express his final sentiment in the form of words, the faculty of his now strengthened blood-shot peripherals captured the sight of an arriving assault. A mature Sharingan was a wonderful tool, and through its ardent perception, Ryūsuke was well away of the arrow that swiveled towards them. His body more akin to the combination of spiritual and corporal harmony—his prowess with physical combat itself wasn’t subpar. Regardless, Genryū took no chance on the future Hokage’s life, and as such acted out first.

With a simple, though potent thrust, the boy was tossed back a mere 2 meters as his feet slid across the ground. Regardless, he was in complete control the moment his frame was freed from his uncle’s seize. Feet lightly touching the ground as he immediately transitioned into a backwards skip; his senses tuning themselves to the channel of the forest. Then, before Genryū had to say anything, the presence of the steel cable was evident before the almighty Sharingan. Words were a weakness in battle, and as such, without idiom, the Shinobi quickly reached into his pouch and with a tug, revealed a Kunai. A flick of the wrist upwards, coupled with the swing of his arm claimed the wire’s life and as such, the attachment to the air as severed.

Concurrently, he vanished, another tailored Shunshin allowing him to maneuver off to the right five meters, placing him ten meters in front of the border of the forest enclosure. The two currently rested in a large aperture, roughly a fifty-by-fifty (50x50) as the scarlet-haired looked on with crimson orbs as his uncle completely dominated the opposition. Regardless, Kunai still in hand, held in a reverse grip, the Uchiha proceeded to stringing together a series of hand seals ¹ as he awaited the arrival of the other. While he couldn’t see much between the alteration of thin and deep mist, his eyes logged another source of chakra, and it was nearby.

Prep ¹

[Messatsu!]

Combat is a necessity within a shinobi's life, within all life, whether to protect those we cherish, to preserve our own life, or depriving something of its life for the sake of the 'greater good'. Nevertheless it was impossible to escape its clutches as it was ecstasy for some, and a curse for others. Having to constantly watch ones own back at all times and suspect nearly any and all to be assassins in disguise-Genryu hated that aspect about combat and everything it entailed. However, he always enjoyed it despite how many times his mind tried to convince him otherwise.

His unwavering appetite for battle was always an enigma to him, at one point he believed himself to have been diagnosed with some mental disease of sorts. He was a kind man both at heart and in nature, however, whenever the clutches of war and hatred attempted to take hold of everything he worked for, a shift in personality that utterly contradicted him as a person entirely beckons forth. His kindness and mercy extends no further, seeking the quickest and most flagitious ways to snuff out the brief candle of his opponents life. This situation was no different, these asinine assassins sealed their own fate the moment they made Ryusuke a target.

It was questionable whether or not Genryu could have even remained unharmed from the speeding arrow if not for his sharingan and seeing a cognitive, ethereal image of the attack before it had even begun to register upon the planes of reality. As quickly as it had begun, his skirmish with spiderman ended on Genryu's own whim, soon finding his feet in harmony with the soils of Mizu no kuni once more, but things were far from over. The moment he landed had his calves swelled with power as they lunged forward, thrusting him into a high speed movement, slipping smoothly through the grooves of human perception. The moment Ryu's first zodiac seal sprung to life had the prowling Hyuuga emerged from beneath the guise of forest trees and undergrowth 5 meters behind Ryusuke. The Hyuuga's all seeing white eyes radiated fervently like a wolf's through the sheets of night as his arms extended outwardly in north and south mannerisms before bolting forward with near shunshin speeds.

The Hyuuga's sight, in a sense, was superior to the Uchiha's sharingan, allowing them to catch wind of the intricate system of intangible energies with a simple gaze of their opponent. The gateways and points to Ryusuke's wellspring of power laid itself out before the Byakugan like a treasure map to a pirate - x marks the spot. In an instant the Hyuuga bolted forward, thrusting the meridian of his digits into each tenketsu his eyes could see. His attack only progressed, namely with 2 strikes, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and so on, it'd seem endless.

Concurrently

Genryu placed himself 10 meters from the tree-borne spider, and in that decisive moment his movement came to an end had his digits converged onto one another, performing a ritual of power with his hands. Unfortunately the culmination of said ritual never came as he was met and trammeled in a net of webs that held a circumference of 50 meters, coiling rapidly around his body. It blasted him toward the ground at an angle, pinning him to the terra firma. Quickly the spider captitalized, mounting over Genryu with a kunai pressed to his neck, aimlessly meeting gaze with the uchiha - the fool.

With Genryu trapped, and Ryu outnumbered, what could become of this situation.

Will they fall, or persevere despite all odds?!"

It would seem the second assassin finally felt the need to divulge himself, albeit in a rather loud fashion. A shinobi’s ears were trained to capture detail just as quickly as their eyes, and essentially one could project their entire turf by simply chiming their earshot tools. Oculars were a inevitability for anyone, and so were the two identical( at least in most cases) pairs of head extensions that sided on each side of one’s skull. A battle hardened warrior knew what to pay attention to if their environment was evident, and while others may have neglected facts, the Uchiha wouldn’t fall victim to such.

Simultaneously as the crackling of twigs and leaves resonated from his rear foyer, orbs of cautious amethyst continued to peer forward. Yet he quickly inched to the left. Giving away the element of surprise was a fool’s errand, one the assailant himself made and thus would pay dearly for. And soon, the man erupted from the forest behind him, approximately ten meters to his back and thus was clearly foreseeable. This was one of the rare moments simplicity would win the battle and Ryūsuke was too familiar with the strength of minimalism. Now he could display simplistic endeavors without harming himself in the process.

Now roughly a single body (his own size) over from his previous position, the Uchiha was still well within range of the Hyūga’s attack; yet not for long. In chorus with the murderer’s approach, and a fraction of a second before the whirlwind of chakra-enforced volleys devastated the ground, his victim was no longer in position; nothing wasted in his wake. Emerging from a breeze itself, as if the wind carried him to safety via a retracting Shunshin, the Uchiha placed himself 10 meters back, and directly on the border of the forest itself, all while the melody of strikes continued. His actions instantaneous and leaving little time for reaction and termination of the Hyūga’s own technique, the scarlet-hair’s right hand gripped the Kunai tightly.

The technique was too decipherable, being a Shinobi of the Hidden Leaf and origin of the White eye, Ryūsuke knew his opponent’s heritage. His technique had to end sooner or later, and the instant before it completely settled, the instant where the array of arm-thrusting salvos weakened, and distortions were visible within the technique itself, the uchiha would release his Kunai with a strong flick, attempting to impale the nape of the opponent’s neck—the Hyūga’s only weak spot. His Sharingan Eye’s perceptive faculty would make not only pinpointing, but foreseeing where the location of the area of interest would be at the exact moment only enhanced his accuracy.

Kunai

[Messatsu!]

When under pressure, when life is being threatened to relinquish itself, when cold steel lay softly against the warmth of human flesh....one deeply dwells upon not only their own life, but the reality itself. It was a natural occurrence, to unwillingly envision the past of ones life and be forced to look upon it in regret as the bodies breath grows cold and spirit distant. Its a feeling that no one should have to experience, its nothing more than the sorrowful feeling of powerlessness in its purest form. Ruminate for a moment - having ones life stripped from them is no pleasant feeling, but coupled with being forced to look back at past mistakes, decisions, opportunities, and accomplishments, it was a feeling that warranted death.

Ironically... Deaths impartial hand always approached even without wishful thinking.

With metal death pressed against his neck, starring into the eyes of his oppressor, Genryu couldn't help but silently brood upon this concept. However, as odd as it may have seemed, he reflected not upon his own death, but the man who mounted him instead!! Ill-advisedly this Sasanagi knew nothing of the Uchiha clan not the powers they held, how could he, it was near inconceivable for him to unless he'd encountered another in the vast lands of earth. But, even so, only a handful had ever achieved an adult sharingan. A wry smile peaked itself at the corners of Genryu's mouth, he needed not the use of his sharingan to predict or foresee the fall of this spider-esque shinobi.

Disregarding the traditional need for hand rituals, Genryu dug deep into his wellspring of power, beckoning forth the cold embrace of death through Hypnosis. Unfortunately for the oppressor, Genryu's technique held a rapid, inherent capacity for coming into being, instantly faltering as consciousness faded and half closed lids struggled to stay open. In seconds he slipped aimlessly into the world of dreams, collapsing off to the side seemingly without life.

Meanwhile

The Hyuuga's attack lacked a definite target with first initial strike, but the Uchiha's movements had not gone unnoticed. Stopping himself from continuing his attack to conserve much needed energy, he stopped to assess and deduce the world around him. It was true that the sharingan's capableness of of advanced perception towered over the Byakugan, however, the Byakugan in itself was still no mere 'eye', it had a level of perception of its own, one that allowed him full sight of his opponent well before he searched for odds and ends to retrieve a child's plaything. The Hyuuga had already been gone, announcing his departure in the form of overturning zephyrs passed harmlessly over the area.

He appeared at Ryu's forefronts after curving around his projectile, facing him properly with a attack already underway, yet, this differed from the last attack, much different. His hands had been coated in a sheen of controlled energies in the form of spectral heads of lions, both of which aimed to claim rightful ownership of Ryu's chakra. A quick, hooking fist sped for Ryu's head, followed by a volley of textbook jabs and uppercuts from his respective hand. He needed not to physically harm Ryu, for even a single swipe across his network of chakra had been more than enough to end the battle.

Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: D: Low, C-B: Mid, A-S: High
Special: Sharpness of claws and victim chakra loss is determined by the highest known rank.
Description: Of the few non-main Gentle Fist techniques, Juuho Soushiken is nonetheless an attack to be feared. After gathering chakra into their fists, the Hyuuga will skillfully spin and rush towards their target in order strike them. Spectral heads of pure, Hyuuga chakra will then form around their fists, forming two large lion-shaped shrouds that can be used to attacks the opponent. Because of their nature, they can move past solid defenses and attack the opponent internally. Best of all, because of the chakra's nature, any contact the claws have with the victim's chakra network results in immediate chakra loss - a condition made likely with the tenketsu revealing powers of Byakugan.
Domain: Hyuuga.

[Trigga]

An idiosyncrasy had manifested within the mind of the Uchiha which seemingly transcended time itself; prettifying the sequential cycle of occurring events slowed down to a non-existent tee. The olives and emeralds fading to black, and even the dark lilac of the night’s sky distorting and eventually, within an instant loss substance and took on a more shrouded beauty. The Uchiha found himself not loss, but thrown into a world of his own design and ostensibly everything he knew held little to no relevance as reality was shattered with a nonfigurative thought while his Kunai froze in mid-air before his very eyes.

Would he meet death on such a night? Would his life be severed from the world of the living and tossed into the pitch of melancholy that came with the hereafter of an empty shell? A good, triumphant run he had, nonetheless he could do so much more. A youthful soul the scarlet-haired embodied and while he was by no standards the greatest; the possibility was still available to him at least in the prospecting future to come. Conceived from enriched blood and molded from the very quintessence of integrity itself, Ryūsuke was ordained for greatness. Survival was the only obstacle he faced and now he had to hurtle said obstacle of inevitable turmoil.

Reality resurfacing, and the Uchiha seemingly unfazed by mental reflection of the subconscious, antecedent to his Kunai’s evident miss, the Uchiha pulled with the swiftness, a single ivory parchment from his pouch; it stuck to the side and never moved due to the other objects holding against its base making for easy access and reclamation. His pouch was hoisted to his lower back, making it impracticable as it was held low regardless in his right hand, even for the Byakūgan to realize its beckoning. Orbs of crimson peering forward, the matured Sharingan captured the fluctuation in the Hyūga’s movement and was alerted to the panorama that was to come well before it happened. This soon would play well into his evasion.

The moment the man ventured off into the wind itself, and resurfaced, Ryūsuke reacted instinctively. Before the hands of coated chakra collided with his body, Ryūsuke seemingly and instantly moved out of range with the carriage of space and time itself. Conveying himself ten meters into the depths of the words south of his prior location, the Shinobi, allowing the shrouds that surrounded him, as well as leaves and other natural assortments that rested on the ground to mask the dropping of his hand-held manuscript; this was only augmented by the trees and the sheer size and thinness of said paper. From this point, the Uchiha had a clear sight of the assassin ahead. The opening he stood in was small, roughly three-by-three surrounded by trees as a small strip guarded by scarce branches compiled his foyer.

Concomitantly complimenting his retreat into the woods, he stepped back another meter, his hands dexterously dancing over one another once more as he did so in unison. His Sharingan still fixated not on the grand scale of the Hyūga, but any reactions his body would take. This would properly allow him to react in the future; guided by not only his blood red oculars, but also his intuition; the scarlet-haired Shinobi waited.

[Messatsu!]

Tactics - A plan for attaining a particular goal. In this particular case said goal was to potentially snuff out an opening within the Hyuuga's unrelenting pursuit. If the Uchiha was really from the same village as the origins of the all seeing white eye, then he'd had known that his planted blazing manuscript amounted to nothing more than wasted effort. This nameless Hyuuga's ubiquitous Byakugan expanded well over 150 meters in all directions, laying eyes upon everything tangible and intangible. Strong, harmless gales whipped about around the area as a skill shunshin carried the man 10 meters from the Hyuuga' placement, such a useful, yet irksome technique.

Relinquishing the spectral heads of chakra from his very hands a simple seal was created forthwith. Completing the split second ritual only beckoned forth a thick, pervasive 100 meter mist, of which intermingled with the pre-existing metameric bodies of mist, obscuring the physical world itself as it blocked out all doujutsu that required clear visibility. However, the mist itself played in the Hyuuga's favor unlike the two uchiha, his all seeing white pierced the mist itself, there was nothing that could escape his field of vision. Both doujutsu had their disadvantages and advantages, and clearly this particular situation did no less than complimented the Byakugan for its omnipresent artistry.

His calculative mind grinded away as he took in and deduced a plan that could have possibly worked around the sharingan's inhuman perceptibility. Essentially blinding his target, the Hyuuga would set his plan in motion, namely with quick, silent steps to his own left, placing himself 5 meters to the left, keeping the uchiha in plain sight within a world of intangible energies and monochrome.

And so the real battle begun.

It only took a second for the Hyuuga to release his inner strength, the first Hachimontonkou - Kaimon. Layers of powerful chakra bathed his inner networking, blessing him with increased strength and speed, but this was only the beginning. Another second would bring him to unlocked the second pathway to victory- Kyuumon. Blue tendrils of chakra swirled around his body like a tornado with the Hyuuga as its epicenter, his blood pumped precipitously, further increasing his speed and strength, so much so that anything below a duo bullet sharingan could not even dare to keep up. Last but not least, the game changer. His skin began to shift, adorning a more reddish color, clearly hinting at the strain he placed himself under. The lengths in which he went to murder this uchiha had been quite impressive.

Seimon - the gate of life, its activation announced itself in the form of faltering and fractured earth, collapsing inwardly as if the Hyuuga's feet had been sinking into the earthen floor itself. With the full brunt of his power at hand, he was ready to end this.

[Trigga]

While not the brightest action to take when analyzed at face value, the true genius would only be realized at a more theoretical echelon. The most analogous avenue one could relate this sudden, and seemingly needless use of application and utensil was baiting. The Hyūga, even with minimal training could obviously have seen the mystical energies that were enweaved into the textile of the ivory parchment. His own efficacy with his clan’s influential Nintaijutsu only signified skill on a level consummate by most. Ryūsuke sought not the conventional playing possum. He wanted to force his opponent to think. Time was an essence one could never truly gain back, no matter what role they played in the world.

Would he rushed blindly into the foyer itself, risking triggering a single hand seal that would seal all within a five meter fringe in an intense hellfire? Would he wrap around and attempt to maneuver in the province of the Uchiha’s position and find purpose in avoiding the prospecting blast? Or more foolhardy, stay where he was? Questions and forethought should have flooded the novice’s mind, which would easily grant enough time to assassinate one’s hired gun. Regardless, his opponent wasn’t a novice and wouldn’t be treated as such. Simply enough, any time frame or window of opportunity would be exploited by the Uchiha as best he could from this point on.

Before the physical quintessence of the ethereal chakra diminished completely, the crimson oculars of the younger Shinobi captured the spiritual body faded through its unrivaled insight. This alone triggered a bodily response and soon his hand slid down to his side, sliding into the hoister for his Kunai. Concurrently syncing with the concise kata that would sanction forth a fast rising blanket of mist—artificial in its own design did the Uchiha flick his wrist forward. The steel tool flashed through the air at speeds reputable attempting to strike the Hyūga well before his transition into the escalation that only gods themselves fathomed.

Ryūsuke had by no rights mastered his Sharingan, and there were many boulevards to explore when considering completely mastering his optical enrichment, the one element his eyes could foresee before manifesting in reality was the one just used; Suiton. The upsurge required for such a simple technique was noted and defeated well before its capacity would cripple the Uchiha. However, if this plan botched, hopefully Genryū could find capitalization viable for Ryūsuke’s branches of techniques and tactical preparation would only get him so far. Lives’s hanging on the ankle bracelet of fate it was only a matter of time before a charm fell to the ground.

Kunai

[Messatsu!]

A prudent gaze contrived itself afront as it glanced over the uchiha, flickering from limb to limb, detail to detail, imbibing his own mind of his feats. Not even a single physical construct escaped the Hyuuga's spectral field of vision pierced all. The pungent smell of death and combat drilled itself into his nose as rivers of blood coursed through his veins with precipitous speeds and vortexes of power orbited around his frame. The Hyuuga could only smile as he watched his prey's kunai glide along the currents of air, only to lose steam which ultimately faltered its trajectory which ended in a pathetic crash.

It took not even a second to string one simple seal and the pervasive bodies of mist beckoned forth seemingly in and instant, it was a obscuring technique that needed not multiple seconds to progress, but a second itself. Not only this but the two had been at a distance that far surpassed 10 meters (roughly 32 ft) which was a distance that played against the prey, but, privileged the oppressor with seconds to adjust. Fortunately he had already done so with a quick sidewards retreat which led to unlocking the apex of power that laid within his network of chakra.

With the third gateway of power -Seimon- activated, it would have proven difficult for even a matured sharingan to he kept up with the Hyuuga's movements, but coupled with his metameric bodies of reduced water, movement prediction was nigh impossible. A slight crouch would come to life, forewarning a path of movement as his calves tensed, thrumming with steaming activity as the earth beneath him continued to collapse further. Suddenly he moved not even an inch and yet, he was gone! Seemingly in an instant had his feet devoured what distance separated the Hyuuga, and his prey, already 5 meters at the uchiha's side (left) from bolting in a outward curve at speeds incomprehensible to the naked eye, and immature doujutsu.

At first glance it would have been natural for one to have suggested or believed for that matter, that he performed some variant of shunpo or shunshin that allowed him to curve and converge upon his opponent. However, such was not the case, no, not here, instead it was his own movement speed! The physical augmentations that Hachimontonkou blessed its practitioners with were nothing short of amazing, giving them the privilege to attack and move beyond the threshold of human perception.

Already in position, target locked, and at the ready with his elbow quickly plunging forward, aimed to drive itself into the side of the uchiha's head, delivering a crushing blow that could have induced a state of mind that was near unconscious.

[Trigga]

This battle had proven asymmetrical the moment the intruder’s heritage had become evident. Eyes lit ablaze with crimson versus the monotonous and seemingly lifeless pale that the opposition took, this was a battle of Dōjutsu. The two strongest eyes battled for enormity and maybe in a different environment—one completely devoid of any obstructions, the Sharingan would have won. Regardless, today in the cloudy country of Mizu no kuni, it seemed the Byakugan proved its worth. A degrading realization for anyone deemed an Uchiha, even if their eyes had fully developed from this point. Needless to say the resolve the scarlet-haired held wouldn’t prove dismissible.

The Kunai swiveled through the air, quickly covering the gap of space between the two in a mere second’s time. A normal individual wasn’t the wielder of such a weapon, but an experienced Shinobi; one who lacked not the bodily strength or precision to claim what was his. Orbs—mature and meticulous could not pass the veil of seemingly omnipresent Suiton chakra. However, luckily for him, he could differentiate the quintessence of typical energies from those transmuted and altered through the series of corporal hand melodies and divine unison. The Sharingan was an effective tool when given proper visual display. However, one had to work with what they had at their disposal.

His calculations however seemed ineptly off, or at least a slight second made a large difference. As the mist finally stripped the Uchiha of his ability to properly see, the sound of puncturing hadn’t occurred, or a grunt for that matter; which signaled a failed execution. This was a disenchantment to him, and while knowing full well this battle wouldn’t be as easy as flinging a single, uncomplimentary strip of crafted metal to seize victory, the thought of who wanted him dead could only run through is mind. Someone obviously had it out for him, and while reasons were unfamiliar at this point, the thought of a puppeteer pulling the string, and hiring such powerful warriors worried the Uchiha.

Regardless, what he could see was the swelling of massive chakras off in the distance. They were furious, and almost pervasively constructed the area on their intense grip. Almond orbs losing their squint as the Uchiha widened in his oculars holistically, the sheer volume of power was overwhelming. He hadn’t felt such power since his encounter with the Bijū, and while not exactly comparable, this new occurrence of energy wasn’t one to be taken lightly. A disruption in the mist itself had occurred as the Hyūga’s energies ran wild and soon, the source vanished from that location!?

His eyes perception settled to his left, nonetheless, finding difficulty in itself as the Hyūga emerged. A powerful strike impending upon the side of the Uchiha. Cecurrently, and as best he could, the scarlet-haired attempted to adjust his frame, allowing the strike to graze off his side as he leant forward. Nonetheless, the force itself was enough alone to fracture a rib or a series. “Arrgh!” He called out, staggering forward and eventually plummeting towards the grass itself, pain settling faster than the boy could have ever imagined. Would this be the end? Crawled up, and body seemingly tensed, the Uchiha’s Sharingan had faded—his destiny was now in the hands of the devilsh man who rested before him. Rolling from side-to-side somewhat, Ryūsuke attempted to ease the pain, but unknowingly only worsened it.

[Messatsu!]

A collision of bone and skull was eminent as the clenched fist quickly crooked in and bent towards the side in a damaging recoil; setting unto the uchiha with the obstreperous blow of the Hyuuga's elbow to the side of his cranium. The reverberation in his cephalic dome was unbearable as the sharp pain shot into his brain and spasmed in his muscles to turn weak and inactive which caused a bright concussive light that sprayed unto his eye sight. The blow staggered him to the side as the uchiha unwillingly toppled over to the dextral side and crashed unto the ground; tumbling and revolving along the earthen floor as he came to a sliding halt.

The concussive force rocked the earth below, causing an overturn of blasting winds to dissipate in all directions, slightly blowing away the segmental bodies of mist. It mattered none truth be told, at least not through the monochromic eyes of the Hyuuga. A visage of deep seated anger washed over his face, almost as if he had become inebriated from his own overflowing power, even if he had, he wouldn't have been given the chance to relish in it any longer. Genryu, still trapped and held static beneath the influence of the Sasanagi's webs, watched as he had been robbed of sight, unable to perceive the world around him. However, a simple kneading of chakra alleviated said problem as his mouth billowed, beckoning forth a fusillade of chakra needles that rived through the webs life a hot knife on butter.

In a backwards arc his legs uplifted over his head, following suit, his legs whipped forward not even a second after, popping himself into a skillful crouch before coming to a proper stand.

"This mist, this can't be good for Ryu. tch, people come up with the most irksome jutsu these days. But its still no match for me!

His left eye hid behind closed lids as his right remained opened, however, its black constructs converged unto one another, forming a circle of distorted tears which had been surrounded by an even bigger, yet faded ring. Such was the design of his perfect eyes. A quick flare of his intangible energies set forth a distorted vortex that caused everything within its mouth to inwardly collapse. His target this round - the mist. Not a little bit, not a small section, but the entire mist, vanished all within a second, swallowing it into a world of nullity, revealing to Genryu the true reality at hand, and it was one he could not have tolerated.

Having instantly given notice to his felled mist, his attention contrived itself towards Genryu - a fatal mistake. With a gaze that beseemed one of blind rage, he seemingly disappeared once more, but that was from the perception of the naked eye, Genryu something that transcended perception itself, foresight. A wry smile crept along his face as he watched the man carve away the distance between them in what could have only been described as a moment of decelerated time. As he finally converged upon Genryu, arcing from his right, his eyes appropriately followed, watching the Hyuuga's attack simulate itself within the forefronts of his cognitive mind. Having already snuffed out the opening to his attack, it was all a matter of taking action, this hyuuga's acts against uchiha would not go peacefully unanswered.

He came with what Genryu deduced to be a palms of the hand strick, easily avoidable. Antecedent to his attack even remotely manifesting any form of momentum and power had Genryu himself merely stepped back, placing himself outside of his initial strike whilst turn to face the hyuuga with a attack of his own. A palm of his own set forth, driving itself into his celiac plexus which plundered the very conscious from his body.
