Descent!; [Sharkk - Open]

[Messatsu!]

By means of being reverse summoned by the likes of his Senjutsu master Shiju, he found himself falling out of a thick emission of smoke, plummeting down towards Kaminari's capital. Kami no shima. His hair flipped up along with his robes against the opposing winds. His descent had only been a decent 15 meters, nothing a shinobi of his standard couldn't handle. Upon the apex of the tallest building within Kami no shima, Masuyo came to a crouched landing as he peered outwardly to watch the city that laid below. So Peaceful. His orange hair swayed heavily from the mindless pull of high rise winds, a storm appeared to be approaching which was expected within a country cursed with plasmid bolts.

"Complete an impossible task?!"

Even after having been cast out of Mt. Nobunaga, Masuyo's mind had still been hard at work, continuing to silently mull over what Shiju could have actually meant by saying such a thing. So vague the objective was, the young lad had no clue what it could have possibly meant other than being something of great magnitude. Minute after minute his mind sifted through potential task that could have been done to satisfy Shiju's demand. Nothing to him seemed to register other than destruction, a method he only used as a last resort when it becomes inevitable. He looked down upon Kami no shima, watching the all the vagabonding civilians and cultivated life that laid before him, but to end it all initially seemed like a action he just could not do especially knowing this to be Faust's place of origin.

"Wish you were here Faust, you'd know exactly what to say. You trained me to obtain power to fulfill my goals, and laying waste to your countrymen is one of those ways. I wonder if you'd tell me to take hold of that power, or look down upon me for even having considered to take such a course of action. . .

Sigh. . .this isn't fair. But I've got to save her no matter what. Even if it means sacrificing 1,000 souls to secure her safety within this world."

Lacing chakra to the bottom-side of his feet, Masuyo descended the building with a series of arcing leaps until he frontally flipped to land along flat ground. Wooden shop vendors and stone buildings filled the city to the brim, unfortunately it would all become nothing more than a pile of rubble. Men, women, and even their kids momentarily looked upon him in curiosity, utterly oblivious to the events that were about to have taken place.

[Messatsu!]

Having landed upon the ground, his eyes darted back and forth, thinking through this plan he was forced to carry out. All of these people would be dead soon, lifeless without a means of ever returning to the physical world. He almost hesitated, he almost backed down, but that thought of his sister leaving him only fueled his desire to satisfy Shiju-senpai's demand even without having fully known what it was. He figure that simply destroying a capital alone would suffice, nay, he'd go to multiple if not all, desperate to save his sister, he was ready to walk any path necessary. Masuyo's hands danced together, forming the intricate weave of motions that signaled the coming of Kuchiyose.

With the final seal was complete a surge of chakra would build inside of Masuyo as he bit his thumb with enough force to tear through the skin. With his blood present as well as the tattoo's that laced around the forefronts of his torso, that same hand slammed into the ground as ink markings which heralded the coming of his bestial allies. Remarkably large emission of smoke damn near covered the entire city. As its ghostly essence faded, there stood the entire family. The young lad now stood in front of the entire family, still flat upon the ground as they were all lined up horizontally. Namyeol stood in the middle of them all upon his back legs in a humanoid fashion, easily rising above 50 meters in height and roughly half that in width. Namyeol's son's stood beside him, shoulder to shoulder; Ao stood to Namyeol's left, his height, significantly shorter than his fathers, only reaching to be a whopping 20 meters in height. Dayo, Namyeol's eldest child was stationed to his fathers right shoulder, only beating his younger brother's height by a meager 5 meters.

Having known Sua's motherly personality, he spared her the offer and allowed her to stay within Mt. Nobunaga to tend to her children, however, he if truly would have needed her assistance he dared not hesitate to call upon her power. And finally it started, the final process which would have proved wheter or not Masuyo was truly powerful enough to be blessed with the ability of controlling natures energy.

Namyeol took action first, leaning his head forward and down as his massive maw inflated with a rotund shape before his lips parted only to release a expulsion of massive flames upon the general area. A 10 meter Great Fireball shot forward out of Namyeol's mouth, leveling buildings and street vendor's alike. It traveled out and down about 20 meters ahead of Masuyo before it collided with a small market area. The explosion stretched across a 10 meter expanse in all direction, killing any and all who managed to be within the vicinity. This was only the beginning.

Rank: A.
Kind: Grounder.
Description: Dayo is Sua’s older brother, and Namyeol’s eldest son (and child, for that matter). He stands an incredible height of twenty-five meters, while being fifteen meters across. Forgoing the Sun Bears natural affinity to the katon element, Dayo prefers to use his strength and speed to take advantage of taijutsu based combat. Constant training has made him incredibly fast for his size, allowing him to better handle slower, larger summons.
Equipment: Dayo’s weapon of choice is a massive nodachi fit for his size, which he wields quite expertly. Forged from steel that was refined by Namyeol himself, it was without a doubt one of the sharpest weapons in existence. Aside from this, Dayo sports a unique set of plate armor, which provides a very substantial defense against both jutsu and physical attacks.

Teal tribal markings of the Sun Bear clan are etched across his furry flesh, forming distinct and intricate patterns over the entirety of his figure. He is Sua’s lover, and father to both Uya and Oya. Very quick to anger, especially if any of his family is placed in harm’s way, Ao is definitely a force to be reckoned with. From his raw strength to the potent katon-based jutsu he uses, the bear-man is essentially a one-man army capable of leveling even the most well trained armies.
Equipment: Ao sports a massive scythe-like weapon carve from the most durable rocks of Mount Youbin, along with his claws and fangs.
Techniques: Racial Breaker (Claws): - All basic taijutsu strikes carry 'A' ranked amount of barrier piercing damage.

Standing an unbelievable sixty meters on all fours (roughly eighty-five on his hind-legs) and nearly forty meters wide, Namyeol’s raw strength of preceded only by his impossibly massive chakra pool. Master of the fire, there isn’t a flame he can’t control or manipulate. The earth’s very heart quivers at his deafening roar, which is said to be loud enough to be heard across the continent. Bright velvet tattoos mar his vibrant golden brown fur, all of which paint the tragic story of his blood feud with his sibling, Bukbara.

[/i] had already paused in his steps and was preparing to unleash his power. That was until he noticed a orange haired individual speeding down the tallest building in the city, just ten or so meters to his left. Odd...and then a feeling rushed over him. One that only those who were born and raised through battle could feel, looming chaos! With his sad expression becoming twisted and disfigured as it transformed into a sadistic grin, Clave would watch on.

Finally![/i]

Watch the young man call for beasts of burden he'd only watch on in joy as towering bears were summoned forth. This kid...he gave Clave new found hope in this world! And then it happened, the largest of the bears without much hesitation charged and fired off an orb of flames, to which the heat could be even felt at the distance Clave was at. YES! "OI! Orange hair, mind if I join in?! Kukuku."[/color] Closing the gap between them by about four meters, leaving them about six meters apart now, Clave would begin to unleash the first stage of his power. The First Gate of Hachimon was unlocked, causing just slight veins to bulge in Clave's forehead as his pale/fair flesh took on a slight red tint.

And now it was to truly begin! Launching himself forward as the bear's fireball exploded in the distance, Clave would begin to assault shocked and shaken civilians. Seemingly bouncing from one to the next as powerful blows hit vital areas with force enough to kill.

By the time Bit turned his head back towards the city, there was a huge cloud of smoke at the center of the town. "What the fuck?"

The Hokage looked upon the scene before him with a heavy heart and slumped shoulders. A frown spread across the face of the bunshin as he walked forward with slow steps, breathless, as the scene of horror unfolded. An explosion rocked in the distance, and while he did not understand the context – it was simply that, an explosion, something which had surely taken lives. Konohagakure faced the terrors of a rebellion, and similar circumstance, a fiery eruption, cost lives there. As unpleasant as it was to become involved in battle, should it be required, Jiyuu had no choice.

________________________________________________________

I have sinned. I have taken life. And I battled. I was born to sin, indulge in the thrill of battle. So is my duty, so is my life. Many consider it a foolish existence, and I do not deny the complete and utter asininity. But what better place was there for me than amongst chaos? When blood flows, sweat drips form the brow. I look upon my life and the way it has gone with the slightest hint of regret. But none of that mattered now.

________________________________________

Jiyuu glanced towards his comrade and his hands burst to perform a quick dance, fingers moving fluidly as they mockingly imitated the zodiac. Paper fluttered forth from his body to land beside him, forming yet another clone, but this one slightly different in appearance – it was a split image of Bit Kuroso, for all but the weaponry on his figure. The freshly created bunshin then performed its own hand seals and pure white, paper wings grew from its back. In an instant, the winged bunshin descended into the skies and rushed towards the scene of the explosion. The winged clone flew at a hastened pace, faster than any man could run.

Meanwhile, their creator waited at the outskirts of the city. The bunshin could act by itself, and there was need to direct its every action, so was its special nature as a creation of the Shikigami. The man awaited with a frown for further chaos to erupt. He was entirely uncertain what occurred, but a lingering desire to act heroic, to save those in need spurred him on. Truly, there was no better place for him than this.

Having lived the life of a shinobi to the fullest, Masuyo had been no where near unfamiliar with snuffing out the worthless lives of civilians, he'd done it before, he performed that act now, and if need be would do it once more in the future. Civilians ran in terror, some remained paralyzed in fear as they haplessly attempted to make sense of the horrific events that recently transpired, the chaos was a near splitting image of the incident upon Bakudon gai several years prior. Like a high speed cannon, Namyeol continued to draw Ninjutsu form his gullet, and with his next breath another fireball that mirrored the previous in size expelled from his maw. Aimed at the very edge of the previous explosion, a second erupted.

If things had not seemed they could get worse, with rapid fire succession, a secondary fireball shot forth out from within Namyeol's mouth. However, about a split second prior, his head turned ever so slightly to aim the third fire ball at the edge of the second to create a horizontal line of virulent explosion. Meanwhile Dayo and Ao jumped into the fray and turned their bodies and eyes to the side in a way where both of them were back to back, covering Namyeol's eastern and western flanks. The last rear position, Masuyo himself would create. He sped through a set of seals when suddenly approached by some man he'd never seemed who claimed he wish to help. It seemed rather odd, but given the circumstances, he only had one thing to say.

"Knock yourself out"

The final quick second seal allowed him to sink below the earth, and swim in the earth below and backwards behind Namyeol. All the while he moved, his hands weave through another assembly line of hand-seals, preparing the last pillar in his colossal defense. He moved about 15 meters away from Namyeol's immediate rear where he stopped, the process almost complete.

Meanwhile!

Ao, who positioned himself to his fathers left flank, his lungs also filled with Katon chakra which turned his next breath into a rushing stream of ash that spreaded out in a 90^o cone and covered 20 meters meters of space. The ash transcended through buildings and trees alike eight meters per second, and once that desired 25 meter radius was breached, Ao's fangs collided with a fairly loud click. That 'click' ignited that entire cone shaped cloud of ash into a raging wave of fire that burned and seared all within its path. As if the ash blinding the civilians had not been bad enough, the blossoming flame eased their pain in an instant.

Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid ---> Low
Special: Establishes the area of earth a user can control for their earthen techniques, including the ability to sense what comes in contact with it. Because Doton is a solid essence with physical mass, its creations deal more with strength and endurance of the earth; as such, each earthen creation from the user will have have a natural, built-in defense against any attacks equally ranked or lower. Highest rank known also establishes the size of Doton creations they can produce, as well as the amount of time it takes for the user to detect any form of contact with their Doton creations, as well as natural earth. Keep in mind detection occurs only when foreign contact occurs WHILE the user is also in direction contact with the earth, natural or self-made.

'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.

[/i], crushed bones and tore muscles in each blow. No doubt killing each man and women with single strikes, and if not then their death beds were not far from their fall. Steps weren't even required for the majority of his initial stream of attacks, merely the force behind each blow sent him flying to the next and so on and so forth. A wicked grin upon his face stayed glued in place all the while. And it was not until a viscious knee caused one younger man to cough a wave of blood onto Clave's face did he pause before turning to face the orange haired man again, who should have been no more than fifteen meters to his south now. As he had only turned his back to the man to begin his assault on the capital's citizens.

Yet, the orange haired man was by that time digging beneath the surface of the ground, leaving his summoned bear companions in his wake. The two smaller ones taking to defend the larger one, with one of them even facing his direction now, how fun! Running his tongue along his shark like teeth he'd take to launching himself onto the roof of the building behind himself, eyes scanning the area ahead for any sort of defense. Surely the The Upper Yard had some skilled shinobi around, or perhaps some type of guard system? They must have....raising a brow as the power surging through him made standing still just irritating Clave wouldn't hold back the chuckling that it caused. It was at this time though that he noticed a winged figure....someone with wings was flying....riiiiiiiiiiiiight.

How could this be? the events that were passing could only be explained as mysterious. From a day like any other, people in the streets minding their own business going through the daily routine - something as cataclysmic as this would arise. The day itself was once at a stage of peace and quiet. The skies calm in a fashion of mundane routine, but not now, not with the presence of that man. Exactly who he was and why he was here Eiichiro didn't know. But, he knew that it was not for any reason he wished to understand soon. Golden hair flowing in the wind he was in the capital, Kami no Shima. Originally on his way to the weapons store to pick up supplies - the events had unfolded nearly in front of his eyes.

The place went up in a flurry of flames and bright crimson. Creatures, bears to be exact, were summoned in the center of the city to wreck havoc upon the unsuspecting. The innocent citizens caught unaware, a man of no particular standing in the city came and caused all of this? There would be time for Eiichiro to get to the bottom of that, however now, he had to enter the main fray of the battle and do what he could to subdue the presence of the large beasts. Summoning beasts as powerful as these - it seems this strange man is well versed in the Kuchiyose no Jutsu, he reflected as he sprinted towards the battle. It was customary to go for the man in control, catch him out and the summons would soon follow. But, Eiichiro would go against the book, this time he would follow his gut. The natural instincts of a born shinobi - a born killer..

Leaping from building to building he would venture into the thick of the battle. Tracker comfortably etched over his left-eye he would analyse ahead - as his current distance was now a mere fifty meters from the closest summon. Tracking the beasts he would strike them first. They are causing too much to this city, their havoc must be reversed, the thought lingering in his mind. With the flurry of handseals the fingers would dance and weave the chosen signs - the ancient key's to unlocking the power of the shinobi. With the essence of his lava bubbling within his body he could feel the power within trying claw its way out. The situation had his stomach tied in knots, the adrenaline pumping powerfully through each and every vein.

Launching himself down the side of the last building, feet sticking to its side, he was now just within a fifty meter range of the 25m meter bear on the left (Ao). The katon-chakra which oozed from the bears mouth was burning everything in its path - it had to be stopped. How would Eiichiro combat these great beasts? well, with a flurry of hot lava of course! Opening his mouth he would speak his words in a nonchalant manner - the calmness and poise expressed all throughout his body. With his words spoken he would proceed to launch his attack - the plume of volcanic ash would scorch the bear with searing intensity creeping on its location without it even knowing. The direction of the plume would scorch everything before it got to its target. The heat from the bears katon-attack would be incomparable to that of Eiichiro's lava.

"Bear, you and I, our powers are in a relationship of superiority!"

Hai Hane (Ash Plume)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Youton Kekkei Touta
Range: 0-50 Meters
Chakra: High (mid)
Special: The range and size of the ash plume depends on the highest “Fushokuzai” rank known. The ash plume can be dispersed with a large enough Fuuton Jutsu of rank B or higher.
Description: Hai Hane works similar to Hai Kichou in that it creates volcanic ash, but rather than merely serving as means for distraction, the ash created through this technique is heated greatly, capable of causing severely damaging burns. The user channels chakra into the ground to burn rock, soil, or anything solid in the terrain. Upon burning what is found on the ground, the pulverized matter is send forth in a wave progressing at twice the speed of a kunai. The ash plume is thick and difficult to see through both for the user and the enemy. One who uses the technique must be careful as the heat can burn oneself like any opponent/

’Damn that bear looks familiar.’ Bit thought as he slowed his run down, the size of the bears was crazy Bit knew he couldn’t just jump head first into this without thinking. But before he knew it the bear that was closet to him (Ao) would be about 50 meters away from Bit, the boy thought it was a good distance to hold between them two while this battle raged on. Bit would then begin to shift through a set of hand seals, Bit was experienced with the art of sealing so he was able to complete sealing for higher rank techniques in less seals. ‘Fuck this is crazy, why now?’ Bit thought to him self as he remained stationary, the technique that he wanted to execute required him to stand still. But the best thing about this technique it still allowed Bit to keep his location hidden from everyone, unless someone had some sort of chakra sensing powers.

The clouds up above the bear that was closest to me (Ao) would be the boy’s first target, he figured if he could get rid of one of theses massive bears he could better his own against such odds. But just as the the technique finished it’s focus on the large bear, A wave of heat would fire from the boy’s left flank, It wasn’t aimed at him but rather past him Bit would ignore it for now cause he was sure if whom ever was after him they would have got him in that instant. So while that wave of hot air flowed towards the large bear summon, What would seem like a laser would strike down from the sky right above The bear that was about 50 meters away from him(Ao). The bear of lighting would rain down from the sky with a 20 meter diameter with Ao in it’s center would rip down upon the earth, Bit would continue to hold the seal unless he was interrupted by something.

With his eye locked on the bear and Bit holding the final seal of his technique Bit would count on his other senses to watch his own back. So if the bear couldn’t avoid the attack, it will feel the force of a strong Raiton chakra being forced on to the top of it. So as long as Bit kept his eye on the large bear he would rain that strike of lightning with (Ao) at the center of it.

C: 20 ms / 6 mps
B: 30 ms / 9 mps
A: 40 ms / 12 mps
S: 50 ms / 15 mps

Description: Though powerful, Raiton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with thunder and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Raiton.

Sousagatakoushi no Jutsu (Thunder Storm Technique)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Very High [initial + upkeep]
Special: Summons a powerful thunder storm that emits thick, blasting bolts capable of tearing through even the strongest of earth. Distance at which the user can summon the storm, as well as the diameter of the laser storm blast and the speed at which it can move depends on the user's highest 'Karai Shin' rank, halved. Requires the user to hold a single handseal and be still while charging and moving the bolt. This can be held as long as the user's chakra is willing to pay for it, but once turned off, there's a delay of one turn needed before the storm can be summoned again.
Description: After the necessary handseals are created, a strong thunderstorm descends from the skies, darkening the clouds and inciting a cold air about. Quickly after, a powerful thick lightning bolt descends in the form of a straight, constant flowing thunder beam. Light blue in nature, its radius spans in a circular, spherical pattern, and its constant output can destroy even the hardest of surfaces. The user guides the bolt whilst holding the a single seal, and must keep eye contact at all times with whatever it is they wish to target.

Ao Confronted, by two approaching shinobi grinned as the aftermath of his burning ash accumulation came to a brief calm. His animalistic senses exceeded the average humans, so noticing and acknowledging their presence was no difficult task. However, through the wake of his destruction, he couldn't help but notice what seemed to be a stream of ash heading towards him, however, this ash hadn't seemed the same. Regardless, he knew it would have been unsafe to simply remain idle and allow it to get to close. Almost seconds later, dark clouds began to form above Ao which was never good. "Tch", he halved his entire height by returning to all fours. Quickly, he turned to his own right and took off with immense speed, a level of speed that easily outclassed running shinobi.

"Dad, Dayo, watched yourselves from this in coming ash, no idea what it does, however, im going to separate these guys away from the Kid."

Looking back while not running southbound but also diagonally away from the on coming ash, he questioned the ability of these shinobi as he noticed a streak of lightning completelly miss its target which he guess was originally planned to be for him, but hey, Ao was never one to judge so readily. Given his bear-like structure it was safe to say that Ao could out run a stream of ash that advanced half the speed of his own ash burning technique. He stopped 50 meters behind Namyeol. As for Dayo, he knew Masuyo's own plan and went on to help his dear brother, and trailed behind Ao by about 10 meters.

The brother bears turned to face the advancing shinobi waiting for them in a entirely different district.

---

With Dayo and Ao leaving their fathers side to draw some attention away while Namyeol seemed to have been contfronted when what he declared to be a 'flying man' which was something that just couldn't be achieved from a meager human. There was some kind of trickery or sorcery at work which enabled him to accomplish such a feature. Billowing whips of smoke seeped from Namyeol's open maw as his lungs began to fill with the very fires of hell yet again. His head held firm, cheeks puffed and rounded, with his next breath he released a fourth Great Fireball, ten meters wide and long. Travelling at a maximum speed of ten meters per second the first fireball sped towards the flying figure as the second fireball left Namyeol's parted maw in a way were it juxtaposed itself to the left of the first (as if making a 'oo' shaped fireball).

He moved about 15 meters away from Namyeol's immediate rear where he stopped, the process almost complete.

Concurrently, the earth faltered beneath, tremors of earth transcended across the land in an instant, leaving those above confused and in wonder. Within seconds a massive beast emerged from the earth below, Young masuyo crouched proudly upon his monstrous creation. A small sheen of blue chakra gathered at his feet which essentially glued him to the Earth Titan's shoulder as it mightily billowed from the ground itself. A deep and rasp snarl came from the being of earth, expressing its wrath and anger intensely. The Titan stood with an approx height of 50 meters, towering over the victims-to-be with a sense of dominance that told countless warnings. Arising about 15 meters Behind Namyeol, the titan stepped to the Sage bear's right shoulder (about 10 meters apart), side by side with his trustworthy companion.

Doton Ryouuken (Earth Dominion)

[/u]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid ---> Low
Special: Establishes the area of earth a user can control for their earthen techniques, including the ability to sense what comes in contact with it. Because Doton is a solid essence with physical mass, its creations deal more with strength and endurance of the earth; as such, each earthen creation from the user will have have a natural, built-in defense against any attacks equally ranked or lower. Highest rank known also establishes the size of Doton creations they can produce, as well as the amount of time it takes for the user to detect any form of contact with their Doton creations, as well as natural earth. Keep in mind detection occurs only when foreign contact occurs WHILE the user is also in direction contact with the earth, natural or self-made.

• D: 10 meter range / Full Turn detection delay
  
• C: 20 meters / 3/4 ^th's of a turn
  
• B: 30 ms / Half of a turn
  
• A: 40 ms / 1/4 ^th's of a turn
  
• S: 50 ms / Near-Instant!

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

Moguragakure no Jutsu (Mole Hiding Technique)[/u]
Rank: B + B + B [300]
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Mid ---> Low
Special: Range of movement depends on the user’s level of Earth Dominion. All doton jutsu used whilst underground cost one rank less than normal due to the overwhelming earth source. User can remain underground for a single turn before needing to resurface; each time retrained, the user main remain underground for one extra turn.
Description: An upgrade to Dochuu Eigyo, this underground variation grants the user movement AND the ability to attack with jutsu whilst underground. After a few short seals, the user merely sinks below, and can remain there for a small amount of time, allowing them an extremely strategic position, as well as the ability to laid explosives along the ground for the opponent to ‘enjoy’.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'B'. Must know 'Underground Fish'.

Dairasshu Bunshin no Jutsu (Call of the Mud Titan!)[/u]
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Massive ---> Very High ---> High
Special: Creates a giant earth clone that can use any Doton jutsu the user knows, with the default jutsu damage, area and power doubled - but so is the cost. Size of clone depends on the user's level of 'Earth Dominion.' By default, the Titan is immune from one full ‘S’ ranked or lower attack. Every time the user re-learns this jutsu, they can absorb an additional strike. However, each time retrained, the chakra consumption of this technique will grow by one. Titan does not need to perform handseals in order to execute Doton jutsu. User must be in contact with titan at all times, and cannot used any chakra related techniques for the remainder of the clone's lifespan.
Description: One of the most visually awing Doton technique, this jutsu allows the user the ability to summon an oversized, giant earth clone from the user’s feet, rising up at rapid rates under the cover of a massive earthquake. This clone, appearing like the user even in appearance, can perform any Doton jutsu the user knows, as well as move around at the user’s behest. Such a jutsu was designed by a famed Iwa shinobi from long ago, whom was never able to summon and was tired of loosing to them due to this size. With this, NO ONE will ever be the bigger opponent again!

At ten meters wide and long, moving at a speed of ten meters per second, the fireball was quite frightening, yet evasion would not fall particularily difficult due to the distance Jiyuu was away – thirty meters. He was rather mobile . The wings allowed for additional mobility, he too moved at ten meters per second. The Shikigami avoided the fireball, wings beating furiously as they carried him upward fifteen meters in less than two seconds. The fireball took three seconds to reach. Due to the height of his flight and the positioning of the creator of the ash plume, he was out of its reach.

As the bunshin flew upwards, its hands moved in a flash, fingers moving with a fascinating proficiency, completing the seals in only half a second – hence they were completed before the fireball was even close, and therefore when the evasive maneuver was barely underway. The purpose of the hand seals was varied; his fine mastery over the Shikigami’s papers allowed the man to perform two things simultaneously. Five grenades manifested themselves from the bunshin’s figure. In the case of an elemental clone, the substance for the technique would have been used from the bunshin itself, but the paper clone, like the original creator, could manifest paper from its own body.

Moving at ten meters per second, it would take three seconds for the grenades to cover the distance. One of the grenades flew in an upward arc, two approached from the left and right respectively, the third flew to the grounds to move through the streets, the fourth flew directly towards the summons, and the fifth simply lingered ten meters ahead of Jiyuu. All of the grenades flew towards the largest of the summons. Subtly, five sheets of paper flew through the skies, their purpose rather vague, but they too covered the distance in three seconds, and upon having done so, when above the largest of the beasts, transformed into twenty senbon, darting down towards its massive figure. Surely the senbon would be difficult to avoid due to the beasts immense size.

The four grenades which flew towards the beast appeared to be simple paper, their purpose vague, if not impossible to guess unless one had encountered a Shikigami before. Due to the affinity for paper, the grenades were extraordinarily simple to guide, requiring simple thought. And upon reaching the summon, with but a single mental command, Jiyuu ordered them all to explode, a twelve meter explosion surely capable of wounding the summon and perhaps even the earth titan due to its proximity. With four twelve meter explosions at different locations –one directly ahead, one on the left, one on the right, and another above, , a rather large area was covered. The smoke of the explosion served as a minor distraction from the twenty senbon coming from above. Jiyuu was still thirty meters away from the summon and titan, and fifty meters in the air.

[OOC: Given that the others have moved to a different district to avoid clutter, posting order just follows Katsu and Myself]

As the earthen titan emerged from the bowels of earth itself, it taken the shape and appearance of its creator, Masuyo Kekkai. The titan was identical to its creator in every conceivable way, all except for the weapons that the smaller of the two housed within his packs and robes. Having stepped around to Namyeol's righter most flank, the built in defense from the earth itself coupled with the base defense the titan itself totted allowed it to have easily withstood the burning ash plume until it faded. Its massive body in height and width was used to bring cover to Namyeol to keep him safe which to Masuyo was of primary concern. Given that Masuyo stood firmly upon the titan's shoulder, chakra laced to the bottom-side of his feet, it was safe to say that he himself was safe above (height of ash plume never really clarified).

Eventually it reached its maximum distance, just short of Namyeol, and by that time the airborne opponent managed to ascend even higher into the air itself above the speeding balls of flame. It was during this time that the possiblity of a counter-attack would be launched, but in the form of what?! From that distance and height, Masuyo couldn't tell what it was exactly, however, something had definitely came his way and refused to hesitate just to find out. A quick stomp from his much larger doppelganger, without the need of hand-seals or build-up time. A gargantuan wall of earth propelled upwardly from the ground and into the air. The wall itself seemed to have spanned horizontally across the land by 100 meters, matched that same distance in height.

Although the paper moved at alarming speeds, so did the rising wall of earth, however, one ball managed to make it over the wall before it blocked off the others. How? At the last minute a arched ball of paper managed to make it over the wall with inches to spare, gunning for Namyeol. Whatever that was it couldn't have been good at all which led to the titan's hand to upon its creators behest, reaching out with its left hand (open palm) in a lateral fashion. Considering the height of the titan, it was safe to say that its arm length as a whole expanded well over ten meters, which allowed it to ultimately catch the ball even without fully knowing its contents.

"I've got your back old sage, can't imagine what shiju would do if I'd have gotten you injured because of this."

He expressed a few words as his Titan's respective arm reached out to the wall that had been within hands reach. A powerful push from a powerful entity caused the wall to tip, and eventually fall over. A remarkably huge, encompassing shadow (from the mud wall) foreshadowed the imminent destruction of a large portion of the capital if this method of destruction would have gone uninterrupted. Not only would it have possibly smashed the air born opponent if he continued to ascend, it would have also taken the lives of hundreds if not thousands of civilians within a 100x100 meter area.

Meanwhile

Alert and ready, near-instantly Namyeol reduced his height to a meager 30 meters, namely by simply returning to his natural state up movement upon all fours. The Sage bear watched as the wall fell, which gave him time to accumulate time for more acts of destruction.

"Why are you doing this? Jiyuu roared.

Even before the wall was forming, Jiyuu already began his next series of seals at a hastened pace due to his fine mastery over the Shikigami’s paper. To be exact, he resumed with the seals when the grenades were one second into their flight,. Previously, one grenade lingered ten meters ahead of him, not yet exploded. The control of the grenades required no hand seals, hence the motions that followed were quite fluid. The grenades took three seconds to cover the distance, and before they were even close to reaching the defensive wall, the next series of seals were completed two seconds into their flight. After all, there was a rather large period of time to act in the three seconds which passed until the grenades even reached their targets. The hand seals took only one second.

"You accomplish nothing. These men and women cannot even grip a blade. What does their destruction bring to you?"

Beginning the next technique so soon was only possible due to the grenades requiring nothing but mental commands to guide. Further, his foe was not particularly ferocious at the time, thankfully. If the Sage unleashed the same fury on Jiyuu as it had upon the city, his plan would likely have failed in its initial stages. These opponents were simply formidable. Before completion of the seals, the grenade previously ten meters away flew in a high arc to rise above the massive Sage summon and earth titan. It begun its arced flight only moments after it came to a halt, that time before the wall formed when the four grenades began their flight. Therefore it could cover the distance before the wall reached its full height. Additionally, with the speed at which it proceeded, ten meters per second it had yet another advantage with which it could close the distance before the wall reached its full height. It arrived one second after the other grenades at a height of seventy meters. That grenade was already at fifty meters when it begun its flight. But it did not explode. He held the seals. To reveal his plan in full, he would have to wait several moments.

The foe was truly a fine opponent. He not only controlled fierce bears, but a frightening titan more imposing than the mightiest of warriors. The grenade which was caught, of course, failed utterly in harming the titan. Dealing with this wall first was vital, else Jiyuu will be crushed. When the remaining grenade hovered over the Sage and Titan, the wall already reached its full height, absorbing the senbon. The concealment provided by the wall was used to his advantage, the purpose of the seals finally revealed. Two things occurred. First, the senbon blocked by the wall exploded, every single one of them, each eruption covering a radius of six meters¹ . As they were not equal distances apart, the explosion was not at its full spread of one hundred and twenty meters, but still it was fierce beyond reckoning in the small, localized area due to the stacking of explosive forces. The explosions roared loudly, rumbling the very grounds as it destroyed a ten meter section of the falling rock wall. Alone, each exploding senbon had no chance to cause any harm, but with twenty of them and their combined forces, that matter changed. Unfortunately this did not help in decreasing the damage the wall was but moments from causing on the Upper Yard. Many would still lose their lives in this battle, man against beast. No, beast against beast. Jiyuu was no man. He was a monstrosity. He simply fought on joyously as the citizen met their cruel ends. He could have saved them. But he did not. Jiyuu wished no harm to them, that would be utterly cruel after all, but he was not concerned with protecting them either. Whether that was because these victims did not belong to Konohagakure or because Jiyuu was simply a scoundrel no one knew. That was a question for another time, another day.

"This blood will be on your hands forever. As will it be on mine. The blood of the innocent is not something easy to carry on your shoulders. Of course they are simply the casualties of war. So is battle, but still, your conscience will be forever corrupted.

After with the explosions, the grenade which flew in a high arc above the Sage summon, their movement taking two seconds, transformed into ten spikes, each three meters long and ten meters wide, ends sharpened ². Also, a mass of paper ten meters long and wide flew from his body, splitting in half. One half dropped to the ground amongst the buildings and the second half flew in a high arc to approach the Sage from above in a manner similar to the last grenade. The first half, the one which flew towards the ground, attempted to approach the Sage and titan from the grounds, moving closely along the grounds in an attempt to stay concealed. The spikes descended at a rapid pace above where Jiyuu had previously seen the Sage Summon before the wall rose. Should the Sage not have moved, it would be exposed to the ten falling paper spikes. While each of the spikes was formidable, it was unlikely to cause serious damage to the Sage, but the Hokage hoped for at least something. He prayed for any sign, anything that proved his plan to be even slightly effective.

Jiyuu did use the mental control over the Shikigami papers to guide the spikes. Rather he allowed gravity to take control of them. If gravity took hold of the spikes, velocity gradually increased over the few seconds it would take to reach the Sage summon, therefore intensifying their impact damage. As the sage was so large, even with its crouched posture, the spikes would take even less time to reach, unfortunately it also lessened the force with which they can strike.. The spikes were spread in a rain of with a fifteen meters radius, each spike ten meters wide and three meters long. Hence, rather than each spike being directly next to another, they fell in layers, one above the other, each row containing two spikes. The Shikigami could freely manipulate the size of the paper at creation, and these bizarre proportions were used to cover an area more difficult to avoid. Jiyuu was hideously outmatched in this battle and his only hope was by exploiting the intimidating beasts size. The Hokage was fully aware that the beasts were much greater than he, but strangely, he felt no fear. He was not courageous by any means. Truthfully, Jiyuu did not know why he was not utterly afraid. Certainly he should be. He fought on.

Jiyuu himself continued to act as this all occurred. The wall, with a ten meter section blow out, would allow him to pass by without great difficulties. As the wall was so large, it not only covered Namyeol, but also Jiyuu, and the smoke of the explosion and destruction of rock provided further cover. Jiyuu, as he flew towards the falling wall, burst into a series of hand seals almost too quick for the eye to follow – assuming that any eyes could see through the thick layer of smoke caused by the explosion destroying part of the wall to begin with. The seals were quick and simple, taking half a second. The technique was surprisingly simple, designed entirely for subtlety, lacking the potency to cause harm by itself. He wove to the left and right, avoiding the broken rubble falling from the section of the wall which he blew out. Most of the wall remained, still. Jiyuu succeeded in only destroying a minuscule part of it, but that was enough to keep him from getting crushed. Thankfully, due to Jiyuu's proximity, he saw the collapsing rocks through the smoke. He was rather far away from the wall when it rose initially, but due to its massive size, he was rather close when it began to collapse due to presumably falling as any wall would, the topmost part descending first.

His mastery over the chakra of the Shikigami granted fine ability to use two techniques simultaneously, the purpose of both the same. The paper rain which fell from a height of seventy meters, blended in with the skies ³. Of course the spikes would contrast the buildings as it closes with the ground; the purpose of the camouflage was not to hide them amongst the building, but to blend the spikes in with the sky. Crouching, the Sage was still thirty meters, hence the spikes had only forty more meters to cover. Should one look directly up, the spikes were rather difficult to see due to being blended in with the skies. Should the Sage summon stand higher than the surrounding buildings, the spikes would be notably difficult to see as there were no structures nearby to contrast their altered appearance They were not impossible to see, but their exact position was much more difficult to determine with the slight alteration. These spikes were not only dangerous to the summon and titan, but to the scurrying citizen beneath. Jiyuu was utterly careless in his choice of technique. With the force of gravity and the height from which they fell, the spikes were sure to ram through the roof of buildings, crushing the hapless citizen beneath.

Also after the seals , the tone of Jiyuu’s figure changed completely ³ in a similar manner to the spikes, it adopted a bizarre shade completely unusual for any human, using exactly the same process as the concealment of the spikes. From that paper that changed on his body, a thin layer flew forward and hovered in front of him, flat side pointing directly ahead. This was a rather simple process, not only the change of the papers appearance, but the thin wall in-front of him as it was merely two meters long and wide, the minimal amount of paper he could create and it took but a single, large sheet directly flowing from his body from the paper that had already been changed. The Shikigami required time, and for that he best hide, and so was his intention. The appearance of the clone, the papers of which it consisted, its skin and clothing, altered to adopt the shade of the sky, blending in perfectly. Jiyuu was now twenty five meters away from the foe and fifty eight meters in the air, past the falling rock wall. The wall slammed into numerous buildings, continuing to send thick layers of dust into the sky. His wings beat slowly as he was blended in with the skies, dust enhancing his cover. Under the cover of both the dust and the camouflage, his hands already begun their next set of seals 4. While that slight movement made him somewhat easier to spot, he was still blended finely with the sky and dust. Additionally, the two meter sheet of paper hovered before him, also blended in with the sky from that same camouflaging of paper, further concealing him. The disguised sheet covered both his hand seals and beating of the wings. Still exploiting that cover, he flew towards the left. Repositioning was vital. He was now fifteen meters from where he previously hovered, at the height of sixty meters.

The creator of the clone stood fifty meters away on the outskirts, observing the scene. From his position he could not see what was happening on the ground, but that was not important - nay, what mattered was that he could see what was coming from the clone due to its elevated position.

Jiyuu ould have saved these citizen. But he felt no inclination to The man often viewed himself as a soldier, a man torn by war who fights so that others must not fight. That was simply a lie told to himself, a factitious truth derived from misjudged introspection. Jiyuu fought because he enjoyed the thrill of battle, no more. Here he felt alive. He was Hokage of the Leaf, but here found himself in a chaos, battling in a city his duty did not even require him to protect He chose to fight in a battle that was not his. He did not know who called forth these beasts, nor why. It did not matter. He felt a distorted, bizarre love for the summoner for he returned the Hokage to the state he was meant to be in. Fighting. Primeval. Relying on his instincts. Jiyuu has never felt alive as he did in the heat of battle.

The flames of hell will surely await him. Still, this was his home. War. There was no better place for him than this.

[Messatsu!]

As the wall reached its maximum height of 100 meters and toppled over with the topmost part of the wall leading first, a series of assault was waiting for him from above. Before all of that, a fairly large hole had been blown through the walk exterior, large enough for the airborne opponent to slid through unharmed. Even from their distance Masuyo managed to hear the mans words albeit barely. He hadn't been obligated to answer him nor divulge into the reason why he had been doing this, if anything he'd have placed this blood upon Shiju's hands. Were his Sensei over the Sage arts not so vague in terms of 'completing an impossible task, this could have been prevented. With his village destroyed and trying to save his sister, what impossible task was there to actually complete. He had been willing to put his life on the line to destroy this capital in hopes it would have granted him the power of being a true Sage!

Namyeol himself, who, regressed back to a more 'natural' positioning upon all fours, had not been one to sit back and do nothing. As a warrior and the leader of the bears for centuries, the principles and integrity he established would not have been broken so easily, not by meager pieces of paper. Masuyo, along with Namyeol and his trustworthy earth titan watched the aftermath of the wall and the man merge from it as near-invisible objects began to plummet from the sky. The first line of spikes struck the apex of the titan's head, but only strong enough to chip the surface. A following layer continued to pelt its body from above which caused its left hand to form a cup and raise over its shoulder to cover Masuyo, keeping him from harm. A small opening was still enough to allow some light to come in, which also had been enough for Masuyo's voice to travel through the crevices of his Titan's fingers to warn his companion.

"NAMYEOL SOMETHINGS COMING FROM ABOVE!!!"

Alert and warned, the chakra that he harness moments before came to life as his paws slammed into the ground which caused a spherical orb of intense flames to outwardly spread in all directions with him as its center. Controlling his own flames, he allowed it to span outwardly in all directions (including along the ground) with a fifty meter range

[/u]. The whips and licks of fire had not effect upon the Titan's exterior given its advanced earthen defense. If Namyeol's attempt to thwart the succeeded, he'd be free from harm despite not knowing readily whatever it was that Masuyo warned him about. The spherical orb of expanding fire was not continuous, in fact it was merely just a quick second technique used to heavily burn all things within its range in a single instant.

As the fire's subsided the titan's hand moved from above Masuyo and off its shoulder after having protected him from some pelting attack along with Namyeol's flame. He knew not what it had been, however, he knew something had to be done about it as the titan was not immortal, nor invincible.

[Katsumaru]

The titan stood at fifty meters high and the spikes descended from seventy meters. Hence, they took scarcely over two seconds to reach the target. Part of that time was used to camouflage both the bunshin and the spikes, but that took but half a second. Jiyuu’s seals reached completion moments after the first spike struck. As the massive spike began to fall, something began to stir – the true horror of the Shikigami’s abilities revealed in full. The rain was no simple descend of paper anymore, no, it was much worse. As the two spikes struck the titan’s chest, they exploded, each a fierce twelve meter eruption ¹. As those two spikes already reached the chest level, others also had the time to descend. Two were at shoulder level and two at head level. They too erupted, each of the four spikes creating a twelve meter explosion.

Meanwhile, the two spikes which initiated contact with the head had already fallen to forty meters. The purpose of the previously completed seals, as expected, was twofold. One of those spikes morphed its appearance, paper splitting to form five grenades ². As it used paper that had already been created, the process was rather quick. Immediately upon being formed, four grenades erupted, their explosion covering a twelve meter radius, like that of the spikes. As they were so closely together, their force was intense.. The last of the grenades flew to the center before erupting in an attempt to cause some damage to the Sage. Whether that last grenade could cover the distance was to be determined, for the Bear’s fiery aura began to spread.

The flames spread far, burning the flying man. As his body burst into flames, simple paper fell to the ground. The second bunshin in the distance, too, was burned. The remaining spikes could not explode as the fire also burned them ferociously.

______________________________________________________________

The Hokage’s true self strode onto the battlefield, seventy meters away from the center of battle where the titan and Sage stood. His hands danced, fingers moving fluidly as he called forth three bunshin ten meters ahead of him. The bunshin mockingly imitated other shinobi in appearance. The first matched Ryusuke, the former Hokage. The second was formed after Bit Kuroso, another warrior fighting in the Upper Yard. And the last was perhaps the greatest mockery of all, for it was reminiscent of Kouketsu Uchiha. The clone shaped after Kouketsu begun its own seals to form pure white wings, carrying it into the skies. The first bunshin charged directly towards the center of the city, and the second approached from a leftward arc. All three moved at ten meters per second. Hundreds of sheets erupted from each of their bodies respectively, covering an area of ten meters long and wide as it hovered above them, moving forth with each clone. Additionally, each clone begun its own set of hand seals.

A thin layer of paper surrounded Jiyuu, its texture changing in a process similar to the one seen with the clone. As the paper clung closely to his skin, he began to blend in with the surroundings. Staying in the same position was rather foolish, hence he positioned himself ten meters to the rigt.
