She didn't have a clue.

Kirino had been correct in her assessment of the snake as "undesirable" when they had first met, so to speak. This knowledge did nothing to comfort her as the beast towered over both Kirino and Ashura, poised to strike. Clueless as to how she was to react to such a sight, Kirino gave the snake a puzzled look, as if to ask, "the fuck did I do?" She hadn't wanted to ride on the damn thing in the first place. The whole situation was irritating and stressful, Kirino quickly forgetting she was about to literally die if she didn't do something quick.

Fortunately, Ashura was a bit quicker on his feet. The boy seemed to effortlessly lift Kirino (which confused her as well, as she most certainly had not been watching her weight as of late). This wasn't quite enough to completely protect them as debris of rock and such pelted them, cutting and gashing, creating surface wounds. A few minor wounds here and there were certainly better than being completely devoured, so she couldn't complain.

Almost as if on rails, Kirino was being held tight by Ashura as he launched from here to there, reaching the ground after they had traveled a fir distance. Now set down gently, she couldn't help but feel as if she were being treated like an expensive lamp. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but it was a unique experience, at the very least. She had never expected such to be treated with such care by someone so young, with more poise than any adult ever had.

"Ah, no, it's fine."

In this situation Kirino seemed oddly carefree, as Ashura did. It was almost as if she just felt naturally safe in any situation around the boy, like he was invincible, and that she could just sit back and let him do his work. Certainly in this situation her Genjutsu would be useless, particularly in conjunction with a Sharingan.

"...Thanks."

Perhaps she was just in shock, not due to the fact a massive reptile was attacking her, but because of the bond that she had formed with this boy. It was all so difficult to grasp when she really thought about it, that this young man that had accomplished twice as much as Kirino had ever attempted in a fraction of the time would even pay her any mind, but here he was fighting for her life. What more could a girl ask for?

^{''What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.''}

Jumping from boulder to boulder, your movements are closely watched by the mass of serpent flesh flailing through the hardened stone debris of Tsuchi No Kuni. But while airborne, he greedily seeks to capitalize on the restricted movements of your body as you leap from one place to another, full of chakra and swinging the mass of his tail downwards with force sufficient to cause the earth beneath it to erupt into pulverized rock and dust, aiming to swat you from the air at the apex of the closest jump you perform near his body. But this is not all such a maneuver has done; even if it misses, the kicked up detritus of the land freed from gravity by the power of his strike causes a thick, choking cloud to rise up, blanketed a 20 meter area in a cloud you will need your Sharingan to see through.

The moment his tail hits the ground, a healthy portion of its length wraps around a 3 meter boulder of heavy stone, gripping it tightly while he eyes any attempts to dodge his attack that you might make.

His gaze seems focused on Kirino, as if his own predatory urges cause him to naturally seek out the weakest prey first, his undulations through the plains coming to a brief halt as he lowers his head in preparation for your defense. But the King of Snakes is clever; he has fought alongside you before and is aware of the prowess your eyes promise. He knows that the battle will not be won so easily, and is prepared to react in kind.

But he will win.

Survive.

Iron Tail
Type: Offensive.
Cost: High.
Description: Beyond his fangs, Manda's tail is one of his primary weapons. By focusing a fair amount of chakra into the muscles and scales, he essentially converts it into a massive stabbing weapon that can easily pierce through the toughest of defenses (up to ten feet of pure steel). Due to his enormous length, he tends to favor constricting his opponents and the finishing them with a deadly stab from his augmented tail-end.

[King]

If only it was that simple.

It if it had been, Ashura would have been able to land soundlessly on the ground with Kirino at his side. He would have been able to easily retrieve the scroll from the front of his flak jacket and perform the preparations for his technique, as planned. But, Manda was furious -- he was a ravenous leviathan, and intended on sparing no quarter until his vengeance had been met. Unfortunately for him, Ashura's resolve wasn't hampered. He would protect Kirino, even if that meant slaying the self-proclaimed "king" like the beast he was.

Regardless of when the strike came, Ashura's eyes afforded him more than enough time to accurately read, gauge, and react. Even at the apex of his jump, the resourceful Jounin had all the platform he needed to readjust both his and Kirino's momentum to properly evade the flopping tail.

Rather than hold onto the girl any longer, unfurling his arm from around her waist and replacing his feet upon her opposite flank, a simple-- but powerful, albeit careful --push would propel the two bodies in opposite directions. The force was more than enough to send them both careening out of harm's way, landing a large handful of meters (15) to either side of the beast's girth. The angled he'd used ensured the fastest route to the earth for both parties, and all he could do was hope that Kirino was at least aware enough to right herself and land safely.

Ashura, still well within his right state of mind, crouched as his feet touched the disrupted earth below. The shock was absorbed into his knees and dispersed evenly throughout his body, not causing so much as a grimace from the impact. Likewise, he could see the snake's body shifting, coiling about one of the uprooted boulders his belligerence had revealed. Unfortunately for Manda, regardless of his size or presumed worth, this was one fight that he wasn't going to win.

Indeed, Manda had fought with Ashura on several occasions. Yet, that door undoubtedly swung both ways. Having accessed the serpent's mind more times than either cared to remember, he knew how he thought. Ashura knew the snake's tactics like they were his own, which made him easy to predict (with our without the Sharingan); it made him easier to follow. But knowing Manda was no fool, and that his rage fueled him in this encounter, he wouldn't dare underestimate the leviathan of a creature.

With the monstrous cloud of smoke as his cover, Ashura moved in. Bloodied palms came together in a short display seals, one and three, the third being held as he dramatically closed the distance to no more than five meters (from the majority of the snake's tail); he was like a blur, a hot knife cutting through a small stick of butter by the time the serpent's 'coil' had been secured (as in properly wrapped around the boulder).

"Kirino, stay put!" he shouted over the roar of the winds and the serpent's hiss. "I'm coming for you right now!"

¹Sharingan [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.

It was rather nice. Like she was the helpless princess, not needing to do anything but cry for help. Naturally, she didn't do the crying part so much as the not doing much. Ashura was so confident and quick on his feet that Kirino hadn't even began to worry about him (unlike when he had previously been bested in mere moments a long while back in a rage). Being released by the boy, she relaxed a bit, no longer worried about weighing the Jounin down. Soaring towards the earth at a decent pace, she looked downwards and adjusted her positioning midair. It was certainly not the first time she found herself in such a situation, and thus the landing was far from difficult, instead smooth and effortless.

Now on solid footing, Kirino took a moment to brush some dirt out of her hair, shaking her a head a bit. Looking up, Ashura was no where to be found, or more likely moving too fast for Kirino to catch without any significant effort. Not far from where she had landed, near the base of the snake, a massive ball of dust and dirt had appeared, from which a shout emitted. Understanding where the boy was, Kirino responded with slightly less enthusiasm. She hated snakes.

"No rush! Take your time!"

His movements are a flurrying rampage of assaults; with Ashura only five meters from the base of the great snakes tail and the boulder coiled in its grip, a scream of pure fury erupts from his lips and he swings down with 3 Meters of heavy rock as if clutching a hammer, seeking to drive a deep crater where you stand and releasing the boulder straight towards you with incredible speed at the very last moment. Dodging the boulder, or even destroying it, will not afford you the time necessary to prevent the arch of his body, nor his massive fanged head from diving straight into the earth, as more debris fills the surrounding area in a choking dust cloud that in the span of seconds, proves the mass of the Serpent King is quite simply gone.

He tunnels beneath the earth, stretched out, able to target and track both your movements above, but his focus, for now, is the girl. From the instant he began moving to the area beneath where she stands, and through which your sharingan cannot so easily penetrate, a load of chakra surges into his tail, prepared for an attempt to be followed in the event you escape the enormous thrown stone and rush forwards to dive in after him. The above-ground path from you to your dearest friend is clear, and if you have not been crushed into a blood colored powder, it is logical to assume you could, quite quickly, reach her.

But you will not be able to reach her before Manda can.

He waits. Patient and near starving, driven wilder by bloodlust than he has ever been, throwing up not so much as a crack in the surface of the soil as he glides underground, using his significant size to encircle his prey ^Kirino.

His mouth twitches in anticipation, salivating, fangs quivering in his closed jaw while stalking his first of many, many meals.

He will re-emerge soon, and then...this will all be over.

Proceed.

Ground Dasher
Type: Supplementary
Cost: High.
Description: As a digger, Manda can burrow beneath the ground and travel to his opponent. With his affinity for the Earthen element, he can track any number of targets while submerged, allowing him to move (at the same profound speeds he does on land) directly to them. Likewise, he can also operate fully unhindered with portions of his body submerged beneath the ground. This means that half of his body could be hidden beneath the earth, with only his upper portion visible, and he would be able to maneuver around relatively unhindered. This goes for any amount of body space submerged.


King of Snakes
Type: Supplementary.
Cost: -
Description: As the self-proclaimed King of Snakes, Manda possesses a impressive list of physical abilities all of which he utilizes with deadly efficiency. The most prominent would have to be, despite his monstrous size, the unparalleled speed at which travels. Arguably the fastest summon in all existence, Manda can cover enormous distances in a manner of seconds with powerful slithering thrusts from his muscled body. This, combined with his raw power, allow him to ensnare even the most skillful of foes and crush the lie from them.


Iron Tail Prepped.

Position At End of Post: Directly Beneath Kirino.

[King]

Damn it, Ashura cursed in his mind. This was all just getting way out of control, and although he wanted to believe in his skills, there was only so much he could do against someone like Manda with genjutsu being out of lineup.

The three seals he'd completed merely moments before brought with them a surge of raw chakra and crackling electricity, forging a beacon of light in the heart of the growing cloud of dust and debris. Ashura could see the massive boulder veering toward him, released at the last moment to completely erase any chance of escape the young Jounin might have had. But, he didn't intend on running anywhere but straight.

"Get the Hell out of my way!" Ashura shouted, thrusting his arm forward so that his chakra-infused fingers would reach the jagged hide first. Like a hot knife to butter, the focused raiton chakra made short work of the boulder, cutting it clean down the center and sending either half careening off to their respective sides. Unfortunately, by the time Ashura touched back down on the ground, Manda was gone.

He'd wasted too much time -- Manda had him backed into a corner. All he could do was move forward as fast as his body could carry him, dispersing the clone he'd summoned before the chidori to revitalize himself with a sudden rush of chakra. He could feel the king's next move, see the massive aura lurking beneath Kirino.

He wasn't going to make it.

"Kirino, move! Get out of there now! He's beneath you!"

Things seemed to be taking a bit of a turn. Kirino certainly didn't doubt Ashura's abilities, but things weren't quite going his way. That is how it appeared, at least, as the boy struggled to pass the rubble flung at him. It was around this time the girl finally began to rethink her lack of general interest in what was going on. Manda had began darting around at an absurd pace, and before she knew it, had disappeared completely from sight.

Ashura was kind enough to shout some sort of warning, but Kirino had already taken a guess as to what was about to happen next. Realizing there was a massive snake under her (something that was far from difficult to figure out), she flung herself from the spot where she once stood, and mentally prepared to follow up this "preemptive" dodge mentally. Finally taking the effort to focus on the situation around her, she wasn't going to be taken off guard, or so she hoped, eyes wide open, prepared for anything. If the situation she was in wasn't becoming so stressful, you'd most certainly hear Kirino take the time to scowl in annoyance.

[Naitome]

You cannot run far enough.

Ashura cannot save you.

Your death is upon you.

Manda, RISES.

The ground beneath Kirino's feet quite literally explodes; her movements have been tracked and the much faster serpent has followed her relentlessly beneath the ground. When it bursts upwards, its massive jaws ignore the earth as if it weren't there, and Manda's jawline stretches back so far it seems as if his skull might split into two. The force of his emergence forces her up into the air, five meters, ten meters, fifteen, she flies ahead of his spreading maw so quickly she will not have the time to react, and once gravity grabs hold of her again, she will plummet down, and the snakes fangs will pierce through her body in angles causing pain she has never before experienced.

And then...then there will be death. The wall of overlapping scale forced into the air further separates Ashura from his dearest friend by several meters. But there is little he will be able to do, one way or another.

Kirino.

Will.

Die.

[/center]




[/i]
[/font][/justify]

[King]

It was all happening so fast.

Ashura's eyes grew wide as the earth erupted beneath Kirino, sending her sailing into the sky while certain death pooled beneath her. Manda looked more terrifying than he ever had before, his fangs glistening like enormous blades while his eyes, filled with ravenous hunger, focused on the airborne woman. The young Jounin felt the air catch in his lungs, his scream lodge in the center of his throat, as his body failed him. He wasn't going to make it.

"KIRINO!!!"

---

I was alone. The world around me was white -- whiter than snow -- and stretched on for all eternity. I didn't know where I was, or how I got there, but I couldn't help but think about Kirino. I couldn't stay here. I had to save her!

"Where am I?" I called out, listening to my voice echo against the nothingness. "Where am I?!" I shouted, louder this time, though there was no answer... at first.

"Inside yourself," a voice finally replied. A shape slowly began to break away from the whiteness of this strange new world, shadowy and blurred, before taking on distinct features. It was a may -- he had eyes like mine. "There's no need to worry about Kirino. You can still save her, Ashura, if you can unlock the power within you."

"What?" I inquired, baffled. "What power?!" I stepped closer, growling. "Tell me what I have to do to save Kirino! I don't have time for this!"

"Do you love her?"

I blinked. "Of course I do! She's my best friend. Who are you?! Just tell me what I have to do to save Kirino!"

"That isn't enough, Ashura." The figure was gone, only to reappear before me. He seemed taller now -- it was as if I was standing before a monolith of power. "Do you love her?"

"... I..."

"Do you love her?!" his voice boomed, knocking me clean off my feet. His eyes were petrifying; I was frozen in place, flat against the endless white light.

Breaking our gaze, shutting my eyes tightly, I screamed back at him. "YES!"

Then it happened. I felt his hand stab into my chest, filling me with an unprecedented sense of pain. It swept through my body like a wildfire, devouring all that I was. My mind was filled with the images of my bother, injured as he was; then of my sister being hurt. Then, with the thoughts of losing Kirino. This was the pain of loss flooding throughout me, igniting every nerve in my body like fire to gasoline.

"This is what you have to look forward to if you fail now," the voice explained calmly. "My son."

---

Blinking, Ashura's world returned to the present. His body was tense with the warning of the ghost he'd encountered, still incapable of discerning exactly what it all meant. The only thing for certain was that a change had occurred within him, and at that moment, when all hope had be devoured by the leviathan before him, he ascended. It was a beautiful metamorphosis, beginning in his eyes and spreading throughout the rest of his body in a tsunami of chakra.

Reality itself quaked as the area surrounding Kirino became distorted and exaggerated, rippling several times before she simply vanished. All that Manda would taste was the stale rigidness of the debris falling into his mouth, and the emptiness of the air; it was bitter, much like the defeat he was soon to suffer at the hands of his former master. Ashura stood still, alone once more, his fully matured eyes resting coldly on the leviathan before them.

The fiery chakra his evolution had created was already pouring from within his body, manifesting in the world as incorporeal bone and sinew. Though nothing more than a skeletal husk, it slowly began to grow in height and girth, centering its birth around Ashura's body. Slab upon slab, battlement upon battlement, the phantasmal entity came to life; it was only a handful of seconds before its emergence was complete.

"Manda," the boy's voice called out. "That is enough."

Mangekyou Sharingan (Kaleidoscope Copying Wheel Eye)

[/u]
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: High to cast, low to sustain.
Special: The "perfect" and truly final stage of the Sharingan, the Mangekyou Sharingan is, without a doubt, the most powerful manifestation of the dojutsu. This stage of the eye allows the user to pierce all s-rank genjutsu and below, and predict and comprehend all s-rank taijutsu and below, as well. Furthermore, the user is also capable of catching brief glimpses of movements x6 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. Furthermore, obtaining this eye reduces the cost to activate the standard Sharingan to one low worth of chakra, with the cost to sustain it remaining the same.
Description: The final evolution to Sharingan, and is said to be the greatest level of Sharingan in existence. Mangekyou is not one form but many, manifesting uniquely in each of the user's eyes. Powerful enough to be said to have at one point controlled the Nine Tailed Demon Fox, very few in the history of the clan and the shinobi world have been able to achieve this level of power and control over their bloodline. But once they do, a whole new wealth of power is obtained. On top of the bonus attack each evolution has, MS doubles and even triples every form of potential a 3 tomoe Sharingan may have.
Domain: Uchiha. Fully Mastered Sharingan [Ichi, Ni, San]

[/b][/u][/color]
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight.
Chakra: Massive to cast, High to sustain.
Special: This technique requires that the user have mangekyou sharingan in both of their eyes, and is only accessible by full-blood Uchiha clan members. Susano'o takes three full turns to completely manifest, and each "phase" of the technique boasts its own offensive and defensive properties.

[/b]: A partial summoning can be achieved after just the first turn. At this juncture the user can manifest either portions or the entire skeletal structure of Susano'o, but none of it's weapons. This stage has significant openings in it's defense, largely protecting the core, leaving gaps along the extremities.

Phase Two: By the second turn, the user is capable of bringing out the muscled form of Susano'o. During this stage the user is significantly encompassed by the armor and can manifest the summon's weapons. This stage, while entirely covered by the armor, has less defense than the final form Susano'o.

Phase Three: By the third turn the Susanoo can be fully manifested in it's armored form. At this stage the user is completely enshrouded by the armor and gains full benefit from it's impressive defense as well as manifesting it's weapons. This stage is arguably the strongest incarnation of the Susano'o forms.[/ul]It goes without saying that the offensive and defensive capabilities of this technique are utterly astounding. Even the phase one of this technique was capable of dampening the damage from Kirin (one of the most destructive abilities in the Naruto universe) so that it's user could survive (albeit still injured). Likewise, the sheer might of this technique can seemingly penetrate a wide variety of potent barriers as well.
Description: Susano'o, named for the God of the Sea and Storms, is a technique which uses the Mangekyou form of the Sharingan eye to create a sword wielding spectral form which will surround the user. This jutsu is generated by both Mangekyou eyes. Susanoo will first form around the user as a skeleton. In its earliest form, users can only manifest some of Susano'o's skeleton, such as producing a ribcage that can be used as a defense, or even making an arm to interact with one's surroundings. Because these skeletal structures do not entirely surround them, users can move around much easier. As users can gain additional control, musculature and skin begins to appear on the bones. It grows to its full size and the user is completely surrounded, eliminating the vulnerabilities of the skeletal form. The user can also change the size of it to fit the current situation. Susanoo eventually develops into a "complete" form, with skin, armour and its final arsenal of weapons finally manifesting. It anchors the user to the ground at this stage, preventing opponents from forcibly moving them unless they can get through Susanoo's various layers. The final form of Susano'o varies from user, as do specific details. One such specific are the variety of weapons this phantom-like creature can conjure on a whim. These vary from swords; shields; whips; daggers; and the list goes on. Like other Mangekyou techniques, usage of Susano'o will damages the eyes and health of the user.
Domain: Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kamui (God's Majesty)
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: x2 High.
Special: This unique ability can be separated into two entirely different phases: teleportation and intangibility. Likewise, it can be performed with or without the Mangekyou Sharingan activated.

[/b] This phase of the Kamui ability allows the user to warp objects in and out of an entirely different dimension. Despite the power of this ability, there is a maximum size and number to the objects that a user can transport (in and out) at any single moment. The size cannot be more than x5 the size of your average human body, and no more than five objects at once. It should be noted that Kamui is capable of teleporting nearly anything caught in its path, from entirely ethereal constructs (such as Rasengan) to corporeal items (weapons, bodies, etc); however, the user must be able to see the object in question. Once inside the alternative dimension, there is no method of escaping unless the user wishes to release you.

Intangibility: Considered to be the close quarters version of the ability, or self-inflicted, this allows the user to turn the transporting capability of Kamui on themselves. This allows the user to instantly, at their will, teleport a specific portion (up to their entire body) into the alternative dimension linked to this dojutsu. Generally being overlapped by the incoming object in question, this allows the user to appear "intangible," as if the attack is simply slipping through them. Sustaining the usage of this technique per turn requires an increment of one High worth of chakra.[/ul]Using the teleportation aspect of kamui (external) has its drawback, though. You can only teleport objects in or out in a single post; this means you can't teleport something into the alternative dimension and out of it in the same post. Furthermore, you cannot use the teleportation and intangibility aspect of kamui simultaneously. Beyond that, only teleporting objects into the alternative dimension causes the wear and tear associated with the Mangekyou eye (i.e uses a "charge"). Using the "intangibility" aspect does not.
Description: Kamui, named for God's Majesty, is a Ninjutsu technique which uses the Mangekyou Sharingan eye to generate an imploding transportation vortex. After producing the Mangekyou eye, focuses on an area of his target. The surrounding area will then warp and collapse in on itself, quickly reducing the surrounding area to nothingness. The technique will transport the focused area away to another location or dimension of the user's choosing. From small projectile to whole locations, as long as the user focuses their eye on it, they can cause its teleporation. Although causing heavy strain on the user, it is said to be unavoidable due to its delivery.

Kirino had vanished soooooo that was pretty weird and stuff.

[Naitome]

GM ██████████

^{''Heroes aren't born, they're cornered.''}

The great snake's teeth shred into...nothing. His prey has quite literally disappeared and the caustic aura of chakra emanating from the boy who would be his master has shaped itself into a form it is difficult for him to process. Thrown off by the sudden escape, he has had little chance to adjust his fall back to the earth, and lands in a collapsed heap that throws up yet more dust and is violent enough to crater the earth itself.

But the snake shape that crashed back down from gravity seems to sink in on itself, sagging into dried scales where there should be the sounds of bones breaking and the dying animal moans of a bested predator. Manda appears in the interim between moments of wondering just where he might truly be, rising through a cloud of smoke, only 15 meters from his hated enemy. Bits of rock still cling to his jaw and he bites through them with ferocity without spitting them out, the very poison meant to kill Kirino now soaking them in a toxic soup that mixes with his saliva and tickles the softer flesh of his mouth.

He rages, rears back briefly, surges forward to slam his body against Susanoo itself but restrained enough to correct his movement at the last possible moment, when necessary; his tail coiled outwards and seeking to swipe at Ashura from behind, drawing him in and poised to flail wildly, driving the boy inexorably closer to the hole his own body made upon emerging from the ground for his missed meal. The chakra within him winds its way nastily through the same hardened scales marking their tread in the dirt, and he can no longer even speak, overcome with fury.

He undulates against the dryness of Tsuchi No Kuni, his mouth full, his belly empty, and his eyes set on the Uchiha defying him until the end.
