Lonely Nights!; [RE]

[Slumdog]

The sun had just began to set itself, sinking gradually into the southern mountains as it cast Seigen's shadow ahead of him as he bolted forward down one of Kami no shima's many streets. With the handle of a plastic blue bag -filled with general groceries- wrapped around his wrist as he rushed to get back home to his mother, the city seeming to have grown increasingly eerie - uncomfortably so. Although Seigen had been trained in the ways of Kumogakure's military, he'd still been nothing less than a small child, a child that still held on to -ironically- child-like fears.

The encroaching nightfall was accompanied by a series of indescribable noises that seemed to have been following him since he gathered what his mother needed from the market and made his way back towards the village itself. Refusing to allow his curiosity to get the better of him, Seigen opted to simply put a pep in his step while cutting quick, second-long glances back over his shoulder, hoping that what he heard hadn't actually followed him.

If it had, he couldn't bring it home. . .not to his mother.

Gritting his teeth with an audible 'tch', he pivoted his right foot in tandem with jumping in an up-forward motion, spinning only 180 degree's before landing in a brief slide. Nearly as fast as a blinking eye, Seigen's left hand dove deep into his satchel, retrieved a single kunai, and held it with a reverse grip.

Standing at the ready with senses wide open, Seigen's eyes examined his surroundings thoroughly, jumping from one area to the next as three black bullets surfaced within both irises. Additionally, something about that particular night caused Seigen's eyes to glow like a vampiric specter. Frightened, yet, alert, he called out to whoever or whatever seemed to have been following him, presuming that Seigen hadn't just got slightly ahead of himself.

"W-w-w-who ever you are, s-show yourself! I-I don't wanna hurt you!"

A figured stepped forth from between two buildings, features revealed as the street lights fell upon him. He was a boy apparently not much older than Seigen, The assailant stood at five seven, with sunken, hazel eyes and grime-covered, earth length brown hairs. He wore torn, dirt-stained rags and was shockingly gaunt with protruding cheekbones. Upon his back hung an enormous gourd much larger in side, its top a feet higher than his head. Two satches on his hips, to the left and right respectively, housed a variety of tools, from tags to kunai

The child was without a mother and father, orphaned by the previous destruction of Kami no Shima, and while his motivations for the attack were currently obscure, he was ill at ease, betrayed by an uncertain gaze as his stomach growled from hunger. Not only that, but his hunched back, slouched shoulder and slightly trembling list hinted at an underlying fear caused by his actions. Turning his head to the right, the boy, known as Haman, warily glanced into the distance as if watching for something. Haman let go of the parchment in his left hand, falling to the ground to reveal an accurate, detailed sketch of Seigen, along with writing below detailing his place of residence, personal information, and the name of the Uchiha’s mother.

Standing twenty meters away from Seigen in between two buildings, the street lights gleamed upon him softly. An alley lead further into the city to both his left and right. Numerous further buildings surrounded the two, heights varying between ten and fifteen meters, shades concealing the glass. Not much direct cover was available aside from the aforementioned alleys, and additional alleys spread around the surrounding area. Seigen could feel many gazes watching upon him, concealed and hidden somewhere in the dark.

Haman tilted his head as chakra poured through his body and into the gourd, revealing the substance within. – tiny, metallic particles referred to as iron sand. The boy was no original child, for he possessed the ability to manipulate this advanced element, the control possible through a mixture of chakra natural to the masters of Satetsu.

As expected -somewhat- the very person (or so it seemed) that Seigen called out to stepped forward, easing into the light and out of the darkness. Clothes torn, stained, and tattered, the boy looked as though he lived as the very definition of poverty itself, however, his body and chakra network seemed to be spirituality in tune, unnaturally so. Comparing Seigen's own reservoir of chakra to the boy's own, Seigen's was, admittedly. considerably lesser in terms of overall capacity. More imporatntly, a gourd the size of, well, his entire body remained hoisted upon his back that, presumably, carried something of value.

A single step brought seigen slightly closer as words came to mind and eventually would pass through his mouth, however, before they actually touched the coldness of the air, the boy looked away momentarily. Following the most likely direction in which he looked towards, Seigen saw the, all of them - hiding like frightened sewer rats. Seigen eased his penetrating, spiritually acute eyes back upon the boy's own after having noticed the fallen piece of paper. Knowing that the considerable distance made comprehending the lettering impossible even with sharingan's aid, he paid it no attention, not then at least.

"I dunno who you are, but I don't want any trouble, I just need to get home. Please, don't force my hand with anything you may have planned. "

His mentioning of 'you' went for everything and everyone within the general area, not just the boy alone. Making his intentions known, Seigen's hands came together, creating a small series of empty hand signatures.

"I've gotta be careful, whatever it is he's using, I'm not sure if I can deal with it on my own."

The boys action showed no hesitation, serving as a stark contrast to his still-wavering features, lips forming into a frown as his hands begun seals simultaneously with Seigen. The antecedently rising sand, above Haman, upon completion, formed into a circle of thirty sharp and tiny bullets descending at the Uchiha from above at an arc. The circle, with a diameter of seven meters achieved through the numerous iron sand creations, was not formidably large, but moved at a dazzlingly rapid velocity towards Seigen.

The wary gazes that watched the Uchiha chose not to interfere, but their hushed whispers rung through the night, words scarcely audible. Like Hasan they betrayed a certain hesitation – revealed through their wavering voice in this case. While the words were indistinguishable, the voices belonged to children, the sound dry and raspy. Something was afoot – this attack was more than a spontaneous, insignificant assault

Even after the bullets formed from the iron sand, the Satetsu continued to flow, covering the field ahead. Not only that, but immediately after the bullets were created, his hands continued with a second series of seals. Hasan seemed rather desperate in his assault – for some reason, yet to be relieved, he was quite eager to eliminate Seigen.

Seigen eased his penetrating, spiritually acute eyes back upon the boy's own after having noticed the fallen piece of paper.

And just like that, it'd all been over the very moment Seigen's eyes met with the child's own. You see, Seigen's hand signatures never belonged to any specific jutsu, and knowing that the young boy's eyes wouldn't have noticed, it served as the perfect cover-up for what he truly had in store. The real power and technique laid deep with Seigen's eyes, the very eyes that penetrated the young boy's chakra network with little resistance.

Considering that most never truly encounter an Uchiha, they never quite knew to not look directly into their eyes, not for extended periods of time where hypnosis was possible. Nevertheless, just as the young boy followed suit with his formation of hand-seals, his eyelids grew unbelievably heavy in tandem with feeling remarkably exhausted.

Before long, he'd been fast asleep and defenseless against any and all impending assaults.

Once those symptoms passed through his body, the muscles in his body would've stiffened up due to a brief state of paralysis, an additional effect inflicted upon the victim. Presuming that everything proceeded as planned, Seigen watched as the young boy's body collapsed to the ground, approaching it quickly yet cautiously.

"Why they never heed my warnings, I don't think I'll ever know."

The sharingan's power was undoubtedly magnificent when under the care of responsible and well trained wielders considering its infinitely potent hypnotism. Making his way over the towards the boy, he stood towering over his sprawled out body, rhetorically questioning his reasoning.

"Why do people like you insist on attacking others? What causes you to build up so much hate and animosity to the point where you have to demonstrate it so eagerly?"

Description: Upon unlocking the last of the normal secrets behind the Sharingan eye, the Uchiha begins to take full control of their blood powers. They are now able to essentially hypnotize anything or anyone that comes in eye contact with the Sharingan, inducing a unique brand of hypnosis that involves suggesting actions and thoughts to the opponent through genjutsu cast by simple eye contact.

Finally, this level of hypnosis is capable of putting an opponent to sleep, inducing paralysis, and even replaying certain, specific memories to someone.
Domain: Uchiha. Must unlock 3rd Tomoe Sharingan.

After Haman was paralyzed, the Satetsu continued to flow, covering a ten meter area immediately around the master of jiton. There was plenty time, as Seigen chose to walk in and close the distance.

Seigen could feel many gazes watching upon him, concealed and hidden somewhere in the dark.

While the words were indistinguishable, the voices belonged to children, the sound dry and raspy. Something was afoot – this attack was more than a spontaneous, insignificant assault

he stood towering over his sprawled out body, rhetorically questioning his reasoning.

Seigen knew he and that boy were not alone, for he could hear the voices, those of children no less. He knew that, whomever he fought, contained personal information – including that he was an Uchiha, as revealed by the fallen parchment. Yet, he believed that this engagement could be resolved so simply, relying upon the blood-gift of the Uchiha, winning with but a simple glance and no effort whatsoever. Pity for him, he was a bit brash, and that would end wretchedly for him, as he did not even use his chakra sensing eyes to determine whether the sources of those voices had a similar chakra signature to the boy he paralyzed

Standing atop a building fifteen meters to his hind side, a figure stepped forth and formed only a single seal when the Uchiha was close to the body. Previously, the hidden chose not to interfere, but now that changed, and the truth was revealed. It were not truly multiple assailants, nay – the one who stepped forth was Haman, and the body above which Seigen stood was but a bunshin. And in that moment when Seigen was close, the paralyzed bunshin exploded, leaving extraordinarily little time to evade as the five meter explosion roared furiously, eager to tear the Uchiha’s flesh apart. Not only that, but Seigen took no defensive measures when walking close. The newly revealed Hasan immediately begun a series of hand seals.

Ten meters to Seigen’s right, in that same moment when the clone exploded, yet another figure stepped forth on a building seventeen meters high. This one, also Haman. How could the Uchiha possibly know which one was real? This, Haman, too, begun his own series of seals. Both Haman's also released the iron sand from their gourds to pour onto the grounds beneath in an attempt to cover the area in entirety. .

Bunshin Bakuha (Shadow Clone Explosion)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: 5 meter explosion.
Handseals: 1.
Chakra: Halves the user's chakra (this chakra is lost).
Special: This technique can only detonate one clone at any given time. Likewise, it forfeits the knowledge\chakra one would naturally gain when their clone is destroyed.
Description: A follow up technique to the regular Kage Bunshin, Bunshin Bakuha is an advanced ninjutsu technique utilized by highly skilled and ranked shinobi in order for them to detonate a regular Shadow Clone at impressive levels. Once a normal Kage Bunshin is created, the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion. The entire amount of chakra left within the clone forms the energy behind the blast, and although it lacks fiery properties, the sudden blast and subsequent implosion/explosion phase is enough to blast through rock easily, leaving serious dents in steel/metal creations
Domain: Kage Bunshin.

Jiton Ryuuken (Magnetism Dominion); A - Used by both newly revealed Haman's.

While GM's have leverage, a random encounter is just a 'random' opponent, thereby following the general rules in terms of combat. Considering that a Kage bunshin hadn't been mentioned or established before hand (not to mention him being a child means he couldn't have been jounin.) Kage bakuha shouldn't have even been an option. This RE should be over.

The fight had been over, it truly had, considering that Seigen's hypnosis penetrated through the young boy's mental resistance with great ease. Seigen knelt down at his side, grabbed the young boy's wrist and snapped both his index and middle finger, both of which could be repaired within time, however, forming hand-seals would've proved to be impossible.

"Remember this pain, this is the pain you would've caused others if I hadn't stopped you so easily here. As a Kumogakure shinobi, I can't allow someone like you to remain alive as a constant threat to the people."

Once spoken, a swift hand reached for and retrieved a single kunai, its edge unusually cold and sharp. With a quick horizontal slice against the frontal area of his throat, the boy's life slipped away in his sleep, peacefully so. Huffing a sympathetic sigh, Seigen headed home with his mother's groceries, disregarding the others that 'watched' since he was the notable threat.

Even in the interest of being 'sneaky', when a technique is used/prepped, it has to be stated in the post. If in Katsumaru's post, something like "1. Unknown Technique Used" had been written beforehand, then the issue of the child being a jounin and having access to Kage Bunshin could have easily been written off, and this would have continued with the exploding clone essentially ending this rather quickly. However, since no such indication was given, the use of the exploding clone technique is regretfully voided. Hinting at 'voices in the shadows' or even shapes is simply not enough.
