[/b][/color] Charging forward like an athlete in the prime of hi life, the King of all Pandas would jump high into the air, nearly five meters before his spinning decent began. Power was behind every step, the jump, and every rotation his curled form made. And as he descended a mere three meters from the young Uchiha, his body would crash into the ground. The ground within the circle and five meters out it rising as it cracked and twisted to the might of the cannonball. But, he wouldn't stay in this form for long, for as soon as he had smashed into the ground and his technique's destruction began to tear up the area, he'd be in a crouched position, ready to pounce if the boy somehow avoided his spectacular knock-back technique. It was irritating how the Uchiha found his away around the King's movements, like a bee out of a lion's reach.

SPOILER: Click to show

Stamina Reduction: Level 3!
Speed Level: Level 3!

Senkotsu no Kouseinou (Art of the Augmented Physique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive / Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Special: Improves the user's physical brawn, granting all Taijutsu performed enhanced strength, even basic physical attacks, heightening the power of the assault with bonus damage equal to the highest rank known of this technique. However, due to the layers of muscle stacked on the user's body, their agility suffers greatly after certain points of advancement, their movement decreased by one-fourth after obtaining the 'C' Rank version of this technique, and decreased even further, by one-half after obtaining the 'A' Rank version. Due to their great physical prowess, the user can also gain significant lifting capabilities, the weight determined by the highest rank known of this technique:

D - Max Body Weight
C - 2x Max Body Weight
B - 3x Max Body Weight
A - 4x Max Body Weight
S - 5x Max Body Weight

Description: Through rigorous exercise and training methods, one is capable of advancing their physical capabilities to mighty heights, bringing fear to those who witness the brawn behind their newfound strength. This method is not simple as it seems, requiring the user to actually transform their body over time, muscle stacking several times over the further they advance into the art of reckless power. Those who obtain the higher levels of this art always appear to be extremely muscular and hulking in appearance, showcasing their hidden strength. However, due to the increase in physical mass, the user sustains significant disadvantages with the augmented strength, their speed and ability to react hindering the more they continue to build muscle. With this attribute in mind, it is wise of the practitioners of this style to understand patience, as well as the responsibilities that come with such power.
Domain: Akusen.

Ranbou Kyanonboru (Violent Cannonball)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 15 meters
Stamina: High - Massive
Special: Can be retrained three times, stacking 'B' ranked damage each time. Causes the ground below the user and the target to become ruptured and unsettled due to the strike's concussive strength, the force inflicting knockback on those within the technique's range outside of it, the highest rank known of 'Senkotsu no Kouseinou' determining the distance:

D - 3 meters
C - 6 meters
B - 9 meters
A - 12 meters
S - 15 meters

Description: Ranbou Kyanonboru, a mighty assault created by a former Akusen practitioner, but surely not one commonly used due to it's extremely unorthodox preparation. The user builds momentum, stamina gathering in their feet and legs before leaping nearly five meters into the air. Then, using the energy built from the jump, the user curls their body into a sphere, their knees planted against their chest and their head tucked securely between their crossed arms. This formation is completed in a matter of nanoseconds, their body spinning into a violent sphere simultaneously, momentum undoubtedly building from the rotation. Without further initiation, the user aims their rotating body toward the last known location of their target, descending rapidly with the intent of smashing them against the ground, the possibility of escape being minuscule for those who are unaware. In addition to the divine strength of the technique, the environment is disturbed as well, intense energy flowing through the body of the target into the ground below, turning the earth into cracked rubble, causing movement to be difficult. However, this effect only occurs if their body successfully connects with the ground, meaning the user must be nimble when performing this technique.
Domain: Akusen. Senkotsu no Kouseinou 'D'.

I had to be vigilant. Standing on the Kármán line of this circular frontline, I was without much room and tactical advances. This Panda creature mirrored my ascent and as his body seemed much larger the any standard bear, he moved and talked like a skilled warrior; I knew of animals who had been sanctified with the ability to mold chakra and honed their bodies just as humans were capable, though this was my first time seeing one so trained and disciplined. It wasn’t one of the creatures I was supposedly fighting for to my knowledge, nonetheless it had enthralled me. As I stood upright, now in my defensive stance, the heel of my foot was but centimeters from the thick line that marked my victory of defeat; I was taking a risk.


Then it leaped. Soaring high into the air, its large black and white bearing coiled, as it latched to its legs and conveyed a ‘ball’ of sorts. Spinning and attempting to land just before my body, crushing the ground around me, I had already prophesied its movements and motioned into my defense the moment it entered into its round formation. Waiting tolerantly, beads of sweat formulating along my cheek bones and sliding down my face, my heads bent slightly as my muscles tensed in preparation for what was to come within the coming seconds. This ball of fur descended slowly before my eyes, as if time allowed me passage into its realm to observe, though in reality, I had but a second to react; and I did.

The moment the black orb crashed into the ground, I’d leap forward. The ground shattering beneath my feet as its body entered into an immediate recovery, I had escaped the shockwave that swept across the terra as I attempted to not only close distance, but also land directly on him. I had both the precognition and speed to allow my actions to come to fruition, though why I took the battle to him was strange. Surely such close range was suicidal for someone my size, though attacking from afar had been superseded the moment we started. I had to somehow take the battle to the Panda King. I’d land on the cracked ground before him, my feet skillfully perched on fractured ground as I did nothing but gaze upon its body—its taller frame but a single meter before my own. I’d allow it the opportunity to attack again; I’d find some way to win.

Moving forward as the pillar before them lit up, he'd lead Ryu to the final pillar and the final trial. Walking up a moderate amount of stairs they'd find themselves on a small plateue where a large fountain stood high, it's height would dwarf giants. Here the boy would find himself redressed and reequipped with all of his tools. "This is the final trial young Uchiha. This is the Trial of Sacrifice...Take your sacrifice and place it into the fountain, if it is of worth it will be accepted and you finally finish your journey...if it is not, you will be denied entry for now and for ever..."[/color] The fountain's light sea-green waters churned, awaiting their sacrifice.

Standing directly in front of the beast, I awaited its move; I hankered it. The battle had gone on for long enough and if I could time his next attack perfectly and attack while he was the most vulnerable—during transition—then maybe I’d have a chance of possibly ending this. He was a skilled creature, though our bodies were near parallel in function and structures, we both were subjected to the same quantum mechanics. Arms tensioning as my muscles cried out for battle, my sharingan eye at its peak, awaiting any indication of assault, I’d wait the creature out, expecting something quite different from what was to come…

In some bizarre, freak accident of the most unruly sort, the Panda king had taken himself out of commission with the most antagonistic act of gaucherie I’d have ever laid my eyes upon. His body lacking poise and devoid of any kind of grace, I watched, for within seconds the most fearsome opponent I had faced this entire evening single-handedly took himself out of the game,. Gradually reverting rom my stance, a look of confusion plastered upon my crimson eyes, I couldn’t imagine this being real; another illusion prompted by the elder monk, maybe? It would all come clear as he emerged from the shadows and announced my victory?

Grabbing my wardrobe and quickly rearming myself as I followed him to the final test as he announced, I still couldn’t believe what had happened and as we neared the final frontier in this long-winded series of events, I was faced with the final trial—the trial of sacrifice. I was expected to give something of value up and if they deemed it worthy, I would succeed in my endeavors; however if it was mediocre in their eyes, I failed? Thinking long and hard on what to yield, I sighed, reaching into my kosode to pull out my cherished Hitai-ate, placing it upon the foundation as I stepped back. That piece of steel symbolized everything about me; my fears, courage, ambition, strength, vulnerability, and more importantly, my cause. I in essence, relinquished myself to this unknown foundation.

[/b][/color] And with that the Elder Monk turned on his heels and began the long journey back to the fore-front of the cavern. The Young Uchiha did well and passed all of his trials with haste and without faults. He deserved this more than anyone. Though he'd pause and speak over his shoulder before making his true exit. "You've earned this, don't go against what you've learned here..."[/color]

ooc; Quest finished upon Tae's next post!

[Trigga]

I waited with the ut-most patience as the steel of my Hitai-ate glimmered in the slightest crack of earthen protection from above. The minute dripping of water was my only link to reality as I panted slightly heftier than normal. These trials I had raced were both mentally and physically exhausting and the final test of my willingness surely burdened my alliance to Konohagakure to no ends. While I was still loyal to my home, the world had just gained a glimpse of my compassion. I would do anything to preserve life and with the aid of whatever rested at the end of this journey, I could hopefully make it my reality.

“Understood, Ojiro-sama,

[/color]” I sighed, pulling out a single kunai before cautiously cutting into my skin, allowing a small strain of crimson red to seep out. Running it against the final totem and saying my final prayers and ambitions, I would continue into the unknown, walking through the mysterious opening as a large break of light swallowed my figure. I didn’t know where I was going, but I realized I gained something of great value. Hopefully, it was worth it in the end.

enterKICHIROU and SEIJI^{the lucky & refined son}

Distant from the world. Distant from all. Far away where none could find her. Where is he? Where did he go? What is this place? What is this place of wild flowers? Why does it feel so peaceful yet as if there is a grave weight here? A weight which is heavy to bare, even for someone like her. Perhaps it is her own heart which finds the beauty of this place so heavy. Golden grass, so bright. The field of grass and flowers must go on for miles. It must be because he is near the ocean that the air houses a slight salty scent as well. High above, so high he could hardly see the ground. It is rather warm. Warm enough to keep him comfortable. A black long sleeve shirt. A pair of black sweats. A pair of black shoes. It must be rather odd he dresses like this. It must be odd one such as her is out in a wonderful place such as this.

Dull grey eyes. Dull grey eyes which seem to house nearly no black in the center or any other color but grey. Even so there exists a mix of the two it seems. Light grey upon the very outer rim, then darker and darker until the center which is pitch black. These eyes, so deep they are. So deep and void of pain, sorry, or even happiness. It is as if nothing exists, a black hole. Within hand lies nothing. Upon her side where a sword be it is not. So then where oh where could it be? Sealed away? Lost? Only he knows what is true.

Why is he even here? Well he did want to escape the others. At least for now. Maybe for a few days. Yea that sounded good enough. As well just enjoy herself. Sort of like a mini vacation. Sure there might not be rides or excitement, but at least it will be relaxing……yea………maybe…

“He’s been here a day and he’s just now finding me out?”

[Trigga]

A morning as young as any other that dawned upon the breadth of the human world. Approximately some minutes pass dawn, with the only audible sounds being the slow moving breeze, and the modest chirpings from the passing flock of birds, the area was mildly tranquil. Visible threats stood nonexistent, and while the ominous aroma of daybreak lingered in the puerile heavens, one couldn’t assume terror was closing in. A location completely devoid of totalitarianism, be it domestic, or ethereal, this settlement was ideal for one to simply reflect, or hide even?

Within one of the numerous, and secluded caverns engraved along the side of the enormous mountain stretch, an entity rested. Venturing far to the west, roughly three miles off the entrance into this new world, a once adored individual now sat alone, and assumingly gained the title of defector. A decision that was not his own, yet shaped his life in such a way, the former Hokage was without a stable home, and convicted of duplicity. How long would it take for whatever resided here to find such an elusive character? No one truly knew, nonetheless, expectantly, he could move like this forever, or until the ideals and views of his once dedicated comrades altered to meet the standards of his living now.

“It’s kinda early to be up…

[/color]” Stepping from out the wall mounted cave, a male stood, chest absent of clothing, revealing a slim, yet masculine figure, chiseled. Lon strands of vibrant red falling from his head, glistening in the rays of the morning sun. A hand pressed against the entrance’s side, grasping the rock with some pressure, the man stepped into the light, his face now revealed as the grandeur of his luminous purple eyes found sanctuary in the day.

“First night out of the Human world, and no sign of any animals. Must’ve given them quite the slip[/color]”

Isao exclaimed to himself, stepping into the light as his hand that once touched the rock, covered his eyes from the intense light. Allowing his perceptive tools to adjust, he slowly dropped his hand to his side, allowing the palm to rest on the guard of his gauntlets. The life of a dead man would be a tedious, hazardous one. Nonetheless, if he could convince someone to accept him, or simply allow them to do so on their own, things would be less discomfited. In the distance, a growing presence approached, as the Uchiha was well aware of its entrance some time ago. He wouldn’t allow his posture to give away his concern, and for now, he’d wait.
