Mistaken!

[KEITH]

The young shinobi had decided to part ways with his companion after the encounter with the other shinobi who tried to stop them. Figuring that he was able to handle himself on his own out here, and that his kunoichi companion was able to do the same. The two had traveled far together, out into the world, but now as they would search for Kumogakure, they would try to reach it on their own, as if it was some sort of race. To see who would get to the village first. Whoever would win the race would get first dibs on the Raikage of course!

[Hiruzen]

His travels thus had taken him far from his home. He had met many people along the way, and even left a few bodies in his wake. What was he looking for and why hadn’t he found it yet? Hiruzen wondered this as he made his way though the misty forest which lay at the bottom of a canyon. ON either side the mountains rose up and the small wooded passage below was filled with a moderately heavy mist this day, obscuring vision beyond 10 to 15 meters ahead of him.

He didn’t know what had brought him here, nor did he feel some kind of pull of hidden power in this place. In fact, he was beginning to think his time in Kaminari was coming to an end. The land of Lightning had not given him it’s secrets and nothing remained here for him any longer he feared. The time to move on was near, much like one of his recent companions would say, the winds were shifting.

[KEITH]

As the shinobi would continue to venture through the great lands of Kaminari, he would be prepared for any other type of enemy shinobi to appear to attack him. Though, if he were to catch one who wasn't upon his guard, he would pounce on him like a black panther, raising his fist and roaring for black justice. He would eventually across another who was within his pathway, who was no more than ten meters away from him. The shinobi would move like a fierce black panther across the terrain, as if he was hunting his prey. Once he would get close enough, he would leap into the air, three meters, toward the flank of his target with a kunai in his hand, planning on driving it down into the back of his neck.

[Hiruzen]

The sounds of feet slamming upon the ground torn his mind out of the mist’s of thought and into reality. Surprise crossed his face as he whirled around in the misty air and saw a man charging him, kunai in hand less then Ten meters away and closing in quickly. Shinobi instinct took over the young man’s body as his fingers flew in a flurry of signs, creating four as the man grew ever closer. Before he could get any closer, the unique power of his Saton control erupted from his gourd and a blade of sand was spat out of the current flowing form his back.

To some it would be a deterrent, but to many it’d catch them off guard and potentially be fatal. The speed of which it traveled was deadly enough, but it was a technique itself made the sand every bit if not more so, lethal then the shinobi shuriken. As the blade raced to meet the charging man, Hiruzen would form more signs, as his sands gathered beneath him and even began moving forward trailing the projectile to meet the man’s charge before he could reach the sand wielder.

Should the man retreat from the sand Shuriken, he had to be ready for more. A fight wasn’t what he had been looking for this day, but one had found him. Judging form the distance, the shuriken would or could, hit roughly 5 meters away from him and if it failed he’d have to really on his control over the element he wielded to save him, as the sands moved around and up his legs and out ahead of him.

Chakra Reduction I

1::Saton Ryuuken (Sand Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B,A, S
Type: Supplementary / Saton Kekkei Touta
Handseals: No
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra: High
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Saton (Sand) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Amount of sand controlled and speed at which one can control the sand particles depends on highest rank known. Additionally, highest rank also determines the density of the sand, to the point it will be immune to certain elements of lesser form - for example, a 'D' ranked water jutsu won't ruin a 'C' ranked sand creation. This applies to liquid or viscous type creations, as well as fire-based creations. Flames stronger than the sand can potentially ruin the particles by transmuting it into other material such as glass.
• D: 10 meters / 2 meters per second
• C: 20 meters / 4 mps
• B: 30 meters / 6 mps
• A: 40 meters / 8 mps
• S: 50 meters / 10 mps

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

2::Suna Shuriken (Sand Shuriken)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Saton Kekkai Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Range and speed of shuriken depends on the user's 'Saton Ryuuken' rank. Shuriken can only travel in a straight line, but carry an attack power equal to one rank less than their current 'SR'. Up to one shuriken can launched, plus one more each time retrained; however, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. With multiple shuriken, the user has the choice of firing them off either simultaneously, or one after another.
Description: The Sand Shuriken is a ninjutsu technique that allows the user to utilize their sand powers in order to create deadly projectiles. Using their chakra to control nearby sand, the user will hurl disks of sand at their opponent, a bit larger than conventional shuriken. Spinning through the air at high speeds, these disks are deadly in strength, inflicting large amounts of damage to the target and surrounding objects.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryuuken 'C'.

3:: Prep??

[KEITH]

The shinobi was struck by the oncoming attacks which he couldn't predict, he had fallen to the ground and bleed out.

[Hiruzen]

His prepped justu wasn’t going to be needed it would seem, as his sand raced under the man, his lifeless body fell atop it. The ready technique sprang to life and the sand entrapped him and rose the bleeding body to a near standing position. Hiruzen approached cautiously, his sand already covering his body by now in it’s protective fashion he’d investigate his advisory.

To his surprise it was the man he’d met at the little restaurant in San Grino not long ago. Kotarama had been his name and he was form Kusagakure… and Hiruzen had been the one to take his life. This man had an alluring air about him when they had last met. It would seem that fate had not deemed him to live forever as their previous conversation had suggested the three of them had desired to.

As a nuke nin he didn’t have much to his name and a fallen shinobi could have many valuables… best not to let them go to waste. After his sand had made it’s way through the man’s now lifeless body, he used it to reveal the treasures on the corpse. After taking what he needed, and even finding some handy items, He would lower the body to the ground, his sand leaving the man.

Before walking away, Hiru would bend down and take the sash that had been around the man’s waist. It had the kanji for longevity on it. The very thing that had sparked his interest in the man. It was his mow, slight blood stains on it would be a reminder of this day and the man he had killed forever. Leaving this place.. another body left in the wake of the Desert Walker.

Sand Entrapment Jutsu Used ~Prepped Last Turn~

SPOILER: Click to show

Katana x2
Rank: C
Type: Primary / Melee
Description: Commonly refereed to as a 'Samurai sword', the katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade up to three feet in length, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. As such, it has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.
Cost: 5,000 Ryo

Compound Bow
Rank: A
Type: Primary / Ranged
Special: Fires off arrows at a default speed of 4 meters per second for a maximum range of 20 meters, without the need of techniques. A full second delay exists between firing off a shot and a reloading the next arrow and drawing again. Keep in mind techniques which improve range and arrow speed act as bonuses, and stack with whatever the bow's base skill is.
Description: A compound bow is a modern bow that uses a levering system, usually of cables and pulleys, to bend the limbs. The limbs of a compound bow are much stiffer than those of a recurve bow or longbow. This limb stiffness makes the compound bow more energy-efficient than other bows, in conjunction with the pulley/cams. The compound bow has its string applied to pulleys (cams), and one or both of the pulleys have one or more cables attached to the opposite limb. When the string is drawn back, the string causes the pulleys to turn. When the draw commences, the archer has reduced mechanical advantage, but during the draw, as the pulley cams rotate, and the archer gains mechanical advantage over the bending limbs, more energy is stored, in comparison to other bows. The use of this levering system gives the compound bow a characteristic draw-force curve which rises to a peak weight and then "lets off" to a lower holding weight.
Cost: 20,000 Ryo

Exploding Note
Rank: D
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: 10 per pack
