Orders were clear, Yuu was to take the day to spend time with his little brothers, their prying eyes risking them their lives. Following the government as he always had he would not refuse them. Deep down inside Yuu loved his siblings, albeit maybe not so much his sister who he handed over to the government for experimenting, but his brothers were young and innocent, they hadn't wronged him...yet. Though their sister hadn't wronged Yuu either, at least not directly, all she did was take attention away from him. At first when he was born he had all the attention, but as they grew older and his older sister became a well known shinobi, Yuu was in her shadow. And when Masuyo was born he felt as if he was in another, and when Kodai was born yet another. That and the fact that their sister was becoming a bit suspicious herself about Yuu's job in the village made drugging her the night the government's other agents came in to capture her all the more easy.

The event played through his mind the entire walk home. His long orange hair hanging just at his shoulders bounced around and danced with each new step and with the occasional breeze. It hadn't rained in a day or so which left the city bright with rays of sunlight casting off of metallic surfaces. And he couldn't help, but love it. Being a Kage-Hebi it's warmth made him smile even wider than the smile he already held from remembering the kidnapping of his sister. Everyone not involved with it directly had been so ignorant, some thought she left on her own accord, abandoning the city, some thought she had died in action, and some had questions. Yet, his little brothers knew what was up, they knew she had been taken, but they had no evidence, and no knowledge of Yuu's hand in it. It was quite the fairy tail.

Dragging his feet the last few yards to their home in the outskirts of the village he'd speak loudly before reaching the front of the moderately sized building. "Masuyo, Kodai, come on out."[/color]

[Messatsu!]

Finally, at long last Yuu returned. Having been merely a child, what was only hours to Yuu seemed to be an eternity to Masuyo. For those hours that Yuu had been away from home, Young Masuyo continued with his training, furthering himself alongside Kodai. Having recently obtained the rank of Chunnin at such young age caused him to be quite arrogant and overly confident at times, namely because he knew he'd been blessed with the combative prowess to back up his confidence and arrogance. Nevertheless, upon hearing his brothers voice, he stopped his training and bolted towards the edge of the roof, closest to the house's front. His hands smacked up against the roofs railing and leaned over against his stomach; excited like a child on his its birthday, he looked back to yell for Kodai, letting him know that he was back.

"Kodai! Nii-san is back home!"

Obnoxiously loud, Masuyo announced his brothers arrival as his legs lifted in the air and over the railing in a way where he flipped (frontally) over it. Busting out a full front flip off the rail he descended down towarsd Yuu, feet first and his hands straight up in the air. In seconds he landed in a low crouch with open palms smacking the ground to push himself up to face Yuu properly.

"Any news about Onee-san"

[/b] who showed such aptitude and skill as a shinobi it was outstanding. Already a Chuunin, he showed himself to be a legend in the making. All the while Yuu himself was still a Genin...though only by title and for reasons that no one outside of involvement with the Amegakure government knew of. And with no sight of Kodai or reply from him Yuu accepted that the youngest brother was most likely running around in the village somewhere. So he'd speak to Masuyo singularly then as what he had to say was more directed to him then anything.

Yet, it would not give Masuyo the answer he wanted. "No, not yet...But, I do have some outstanding news little brother!l..Kukuku, you've been given the rank of Jounin for your outstanding skill base as a shinobi."[/color] In reality Masuyo was nearing the skill of a Jounin...yet he was still a few years from it. But, to aid in keeping the nosy boy at bay the government had decided to give the boy a rank up. With all their focus on the elder Kekkai sister, they had no time to kidnap others, nor send out a death squad. So they continued to task Yuu with keeping his brothers occupied. "It's a great honour for someone of your age...But, it just goes to show you that your training and potential has paid off...But, don't go letting it get to your head brat or I'll tie you up by your ankles with some of my snakes!"[/color]

[Messatsu!]

Masuyo's face twisted in disappointment since there did not seem to be any new information his sister. Day after day as time passed, he worried about her more and more each day. That sense of worry only grew larger and larger on its own, even if forcefully pushed to the deepest recesses of his mind. Unfortunately, like the countless of times before, Masuyo's perturbing personality was drowned out by an announcement he considered impossible to hear. Having been told he finally attained the prestigious rank of Jounin, his eyes, wide, lit up like fireworks across a night sky. Still a mere child, he ran around in circles and sporadically performed various flips and spins, a testament to how long he waited to attain such a title among the village.

"Heheee now all is left is fa me too become da chief of Amegakure!"

With all that running and excitement he took a quick break, taking heavy pulls of air as he looked up to his brother and simply fell back into the grass beneath them. His arms and legs were spread out as he looked up into the dark, stormy sky that heralded the coming of rain.

"So what now Nii-san? There isn't much to do anymore."

[/color][/u], refused to let harm come to his little brothers...though at times he questioned why not. Perhaps because he was molding them into clones of himself, future assets to his goals in life. Grinning as he watched the boy run and jump around he'd retrieve his pack of cigarettes and lighter, lightning the last one of the pack as he crumbeled the empty pack up and threw it into the trash can they had near the front porch.

Taking a long drag of it he'd reply just after he let the smoke escape his lungs. "Hmmm, you're right for once runt...And it's about to rain huh? Hmmm...let's spar a bit, Kodai isn't around so we might as well do something in the mean time right? C'mon, get up, you're a Jounin of Amegakure, not some bum."[/color] Chuckling as he bit down on the filter of his cigarette he'd motion for Masuyo to get up and bring the fight to him as he took another drag of his dwindling cigarette. "Don't hold back."[/color] Grinning from ear to ear he waited for the boy's attack.

[Messatsu!]

A single droplet of water fell from the sky and onto Masuyo's forehead, followed by a light drizzle. Laying upon the thick, wet loam of Amegakure, he welcomed the rain with open arms, basking in its glory. Masuyo always believed that Amegakure's 'rain' was no ordinary rain, nay, he always believed it to be a healing rain that heals wounds of any kind. Only an infant when their parents drew their final breath, it pained him knowing that seeing their faces again would not be possible. It pained him even more when he thought of his sister in that way. In his eyes she was his hero, that uncontested force which saves him from all things evil.

For some inexplicable reason, from that day on, whenever it rained he thought about her. As if coming out of a momentary trance, Masuyo's upper body snapped up just as Yuu initiated a brotherly spar. He succumbed to his brothers baiting and popped up to his feet and took to a stance. His feet slid shoulder length apart with his left foot about a meter in front of the former. His knees lightly bent to give him ample 'pushing' power as his right hand curled into a fist and rested next to his waist. Uplifting his left arm, he held it out in a medial fashion with a closed palm leveled with his chest and pointing towards Yuu.

"Its been a long time since we sparred Nii-san. Do ya think you can keep up?!"

[/b][/color] Raising a brow and grinning he'd quickly flick the still lit cigarette at his brother's throat as a mere distraction as Yuu began charging forward, his reach was his advantage, but he never abused it when sparring with his brothers, not always at least.

Closing in fast he'd begin to slide forward as he aimed to give off the impression that he was about to halt. Before he used the sliding to fuel a high jump that would bring him up and over his brother and onto the railing of their roof, his back to Masuyo and to the village of Amegakure. "Well c'mon, we're not playing in the mud runt."[/color] Pushing off the railing he'd let himself land in a crouched position at the middle of their 20x20 meter roof before rising slowly. It was quite the training area for being one that was only used by the three brothers. Various weapon cabinets were strewn about, practice dummies, and the like. Walking over to the ledge to his left he'd press a small blue button on a console which caused a cannopy to rise up from the railing of the roof as a means to keep the rain from harming any of their gear. Yawning now he continued to wait for Masuyo.

[Messatsu!]

The pelting rain dampened the child's hair and forced it down in a way where it resembled his sister. His eyes blinked several times, annoyingly so as he attempted to clear the blurriness of his vision caused by the trickles of water that fell over his face. His right eyebrow raised as a faint, bitter chuckle escaped from his lips. Of course he caught a firefly before, what kid had not been fascinated by a glow-in-the-dark insect that hovered around like miniature stars. Deciding not to answer, a quick horizontal chop from his leading hand swatted the cigarette to the ground. Although the rain partly obstructed his vision, both eyes still picked up the vermilion light where the cigarette had not been fully extinguished.

Yuu rushed forward lacking a proper stance. Masuyo's body tensed and adjusted to counter against whatever else his brother would have thrown. His body moved in a way it almost heralded the coming of an attack, yet, in the seconds that passed no attack came. Instead, where Yuu would have readily attacked, he jumped up and over Masuyo and onto the roof of their humble abode. Turning about face, a arcing -with a frontal flip- leap allowed him to take to the side of the structure. Lacing chakra to the bottom-side of his feet, he fastened himself to the wall and immediately began his climb. Quickly, he reached the top and vaulted over the railing. Once again he motioned his body into his standard stance, 10 meter from where Yuu stood in the middle of it all.

Remaining in his readied stance he patiently watched him stroll over to the ledge (your left, Masuyo's right) to activate their build it canopy which protected both their prized arsenal and themselves. He knew not if Yuu would have really returned to the center-most part of the roof. Regardless, he waited to see what his next move would be.

"Much better, wouldn't want you blaming the rain for the lose you're about to face."

[/b][/color] Rolling his neck around in full circles he'd yawn one last time before returning to the center of the dark grey tiled roof top. No formal stance was taken as his brother took to his own, merely Yuu would extend his arms away from his body to where his hands were just above waist level. Yet, moments passed and nothing happened. "Oh, so you're not taking the first move? Heh, you've got a lot to learn little brother."[/color] Rushing forward now Yuu cut the distance between the two within seconds before taking to sliding rather then sprinting. This was done to cause Masuyo to jump back, to the side, or into the air.

And if any of these escape routes were taken Yuu was prepared to grab an ankle, an arm, or Masuyo's collar to throw him up and over Yuu himself. And if that was the case Yuu was prepared to unleash a speedy combo of elbows, punches, and knees towards his brother.
[/td][/tr][/table][/ul][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Messatsu!]

Suddenly, Yuu bolted forward. His take off was abrupt and fast. Masuyo followed suit, however, his right hand remained aligned with his waist and his left still stretched out to his front with a closed palm.

Yuu cut the distance between the two within seconds before taking to sliding rather then sprinting.

Immediately he noticed his brothers movements and watched him take to the ground in a low slide. He slid with grace, both feet stretched out in baseball sliding manner to potentially trip up Masuyo by disrupting his stance. Footfalls swept quietly across the roofs floor as he intercepted Yuu, 2 meters of space in-between his leading leg and Masuyo's own. A small, up and forward leap lifted Masuyo only a few feet off the ground, enough so just to raise above his brothers sliding body. His feet came together and his knees curled up into his chest. Considerin' that Yuu reduced himself to sliding and had no true way of abruptly stopping himself, it was safe to say that Yuu begun to slide beneath Masuyo.

Accurately the boy's curled legs paralleled with Yuu's own chest, and at that point, on Masuyo's own behest, had his legs ferociously extended back down towards the floor. If his timing would have been properly calculated and his movements flawlessly executed, the bottom-side to both feet would have slammed deeply into Yuu's open & unguarded chest.

And if he were able to get a grip on his brother he'd aim to sling him across the way as he slid to a stop and spun in one motion. If Masuyo were to be thrown he'd end up at Yuu's former position, the center of the roof, and Yuu as Masuyo's former position. Though should he not have been able to grab hold and throw his brother he'd quickly opt to use his left leg to stretch forward, rap around the roof's railing and pull himself to the ledge quickly to dodge his brother's attack. So it was one or the other, but which?

Oddly enough, and seemingly impossible, by some miracle Yuu's arms fully wrapped around Masuyo's legs in a way to pin his chest upon folding. As the first indications of Masuyo's capture became evident, his leading hand -that was stretched out to his front- quickly came down to touch Yuu's malleable arm. That same hand charged itself with Chakra leeching properties just as Yuu began to spin. Completely ensnared by his brothers strength, it was impossible to get free through physical means, he needed something far more cunning. The moment Masuyo's hand landed upon Yuu's own arm was the moment he discontinued to spin, possible even falling over from stopping so suddenly.

Masuyo couldn't readily tell if Yuu forgotten that their mothers Akadou heritage reigned supreme in his blood. Regardless if he did or didn't, he'd have realized that he just succumbed to its powers The moment contact between his hand and Yuu's flesh was made did Yuu become completely paralyzed. To make matters worse, the reserves of his chakra began to unwillingly leave his body at an alarming rate.

Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu (Chakra Absoprtion Technique)
Rank: D, C, B , A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Secret Technique
Range: Hand's reach.
Chakra: Mid to activate - D & C grant Low per turn // B & A grant Mid per turn // S grants High per turn.
Special: Highest jutsu rank determines amount of chakra transfered per use. Chakra leeching can occur on any surface, living or non-living, as long as it contains chakra. The jutsu stays in effect once activated with no additional cost, until either cancelled by the user, or until chakra is molded for another technique. In order for leeching to succeed, contact with the victim must be established for at least a few seconds. Keep in mind that while Akadou can absorb chakra from anything, they can still be overwhelmed by it, as well as receive its side-effects (for example, you can't put your hands to a Raiton shield-type jutsu and expect to absorb anything without getting shocked.)
Description: The root of all Akadou jutsu, Chakra Kyuuin no Jutsu is a special ninjutsu techinque used to quickly extract a victim's chakra for the purpose of using it for oneself . After activitating the technique, the user's hands will glow a neon-blue color, the sign of reverse-flow chakra. As they place their palm on their opponent's body, or any chakra surface for that matter, they can proceed to withdraw the physical and spiritual energy out of them. By reducing the opponents chakra, it greatly increases their overall advantage in battle.
Domain: Akadou.

[/li][li]Chakra Ichida no Jutsu (Chakra Paralysis Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Ninjutsu / Secret Technique
Range: Hand's reach.
Chakra: High per turn.
Special: Paralysis lasts as long as the user's hands are on the opponent.
Description: With this variation of 'Chakra Kyuuin', the Akadou finally learns to enhance the potency of their special chakra, to the point it renders their victim's useless midst leeching. Rather than just provide discomfort through absorption, the victim will now be forcefully paralyzed while being touched unless they can provide a chakra surge larger than the one overtaking them.
Domain: Akadou. Must know 'Chakra Kyuuin B'.[/spoiler] [/font][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]
