Toed up, decked out, and ready to rumble, the young white-haired genin tighten the headband which resided neatly across his forehead. His mission was a simple one a true old-world shinobi mission, a mission to find and kill the desired targets. There were many mysterious and dangerous creatures which roam the the Kaminari no Kuni lands which are a danger to the human race. Not everyone out there can fend for themselves and it was the villages job to round-up and capture any creatures which cause harm out in the wild, whether it be from the plains or the forests. It was the shinobi's job to keep those who cannot fend for themselves safe from harms way. Licking his lips propitiously and lighting the cigarette which sat deftly between them Satomi walked forward, each foot moving casually in front of the other, with only the slightest particles of dust billowing in their wake.

He was situated in a small circular ring in between a wooden door frame looking out amongst the ring which he would soon be walking in. The walls that made the circumference of the sphere were not overly high, reaching to heights of five to seven meters. It was in this arena that he would meet his prey, a predator looking to dispose of the threat at hand. In his mission he had been issued to singularly deal with five hungry Dire Wolves, formidable beasts indeed which only a fool would take lightly. Shinobi from the cloud had received distress calls from locals which lives around the woodlands whose cattle and other livestock were being pillaged by these wolves. So, it was Kumogakure's job to wrangled the wolf pack up and remove the threat. Here, they are use as opponents for shinobi to practice and hone their skill on, an event some would call barbaric and cruel, but in a time of war and unstable relations the village needs to train is shinobi to encounter any danger. It be the best.

Hauling a deep and soulful amount of smoke into his lungs Satomi walked out into the middle of the arena and looked around to his surroundings. It was simply a training day today and there were only four people scattered around the stands which also circled the ring. Two guards were there situated at each side of the gate which opposed his own current position, another shinobi was at the door Satomi had come from, while another unknown figure sat watching the stands. The day was overcast like most Kumogakure had to offer. The cloud was relatively low as it billowed over the mountain sides like gushing water from a stream. The sound of thunder could be heard in the distance as the ever temperamental skies above the village erupted in protest with much vigor. Satomi would hope that it wouldn't rain as he didn't prefer to fight whilst there was a downpour. He liked to know every outcome and rain was an unreliable variable in battle.

Looking over towards the gates he could hear the Dire Wolves being prepped for the battle which was about to commence. Satomi could hear the howls and low growling which proceed from behind the shadow of the bars. These wolves would weight approximately 200lbs and were hungry for fresh meat and flesh. Although Satomi was not frightened, he had been a part of these missions before and had definitely seen them. There was limited way for the shinobi to be in troubled as official stationed guards were around just in-case things get out of hand. The training practices in the village were harsh and strong but not cruel and unreasonable. Each life was still valued with the utmost moral integrity. Suddenly the gate slowly creaked open in the distance, was it about to begin? With a small plume of smoke gushing from Satomi's mouth he lay in wait of what was to come. How exciting!

Through the shadows of the unknown five four-legged creatures marched out unaware of their surroundings. All seemed foreign to them as their pack formation spread slightly from what it was. Each individually looking around surveying the area, it seemed as though, at a single instant, all of their focus converged upon Satomi. Swallowing with a heavy 'gulp' in the back of his throat he bent his knee's slightly in anticipation of what was to come. To the wolves in front of him he was just a means to an end, a target for which they were encountered with and had to dispose of. So why shouldn't Satomi view them in the say way. In the simplest of terms they were both out for each others bloods, and there was no way in hell that it would be the young genin's blood being shed today.

With a deep breath, inhale....exhale, Satomi released his chakra through his body the bloodline of the Kaguya would grow within him, the rage of his clan ever present. As the chakra filtered through his system it seeped to the bones in the young white-haired shinobi's forearm. This was known as the first dance of his clan, Yanagi no Mai. Suddenly, Satomi started to grow and extend bone from the palm of his hand and fingers to a great length. He would use these staves to impale the wolves when they came close, as the strength of his bone was unmatched even by that of steel. The wolves would have tactic's of their own and shouldn't be counted out as a right-off. As a natural pack-based fighting force Satomi would have to watch his blind-spots to make sure he would not be getting flanked by the creatures. They would be cunning and deceitful like that of any true fighter.

Moving forward at pace Satomi eyed up the wolf pack as if to show them that he was ready. The intent in his eye was clear, he was going to rip their bodies up like a cheese grater on an edam block. Body angled low he charged forward to the incoming sound of growling as the wolves all started to face him trying to ward him away with their pure animalistic taunts. But he was no animal, he was a shinobi with a bloodlust that couldn't be measured. The records of his clan would prove as such. When it came to battle there was only one outcome and that was victory. Gliding and angling towards the pack of wolves Satomi launched himself in their air off of one foot. Moving his body weight forward he start to angle down in the a spiraling formation like that of a drill, he arms fully stretched to his sides, his razor-sharp bones a mere blur. The fun would begin

As the wiry plummeted towards the pack the wolves dug their heels backward, all seemed to flustered in the genuine urgency of the assault. Within an instant two of the wolves that were stationed near the back of the pack darted either side away from the trouble were as the three wolves closest didn't have time to react. The wolf on the left launched itself in the air to meet Satomi in an attempt to slow him down or fatally strike him, perhaps to give time for the others wolves to react. With its fangs bearing and saliva drooling down the corners of its mouth it came at Satomi with aggression and intent. A slight smirk ran across the side of Satomi's face as his motion perception picked up on the oncoming wolf. What was it thinking, a ma-tar for the group? either way it would bear no threat. The speed and grace that the Kaguya possessed would be too much for the poor wolf.

As it came into range Satomi powered his right arm through on the spin in anticipation for the wolf and its arrival. Paws out in front of it and fangs at the ready it didn't seem to know were it would place its attack for the speed of the Kaguya's rotation meant it was hard to get a visible fix on where to strike. The forearm bone which protruded through his right palm angled upward to the incoming wolf clawing its way through the underside of his body tearing through its flesh, muscle and even bone leaving a trail of blood on bone. A disheartening yelp from the wolf would then persist as its body fell limp to the ground below. Rotating to land on his feet Satomi spun towards the ground, a slight crackle in the earth were he would land. The wolf lay on the ground, body twitching and tongue out. With a single stab in the wolf's neck Satomi disabled it, the creature was dead now. But, he had to be sure. He didn't want any surprises in this battle.

Hmm...What a brave wolf. Seems as though he friends don't miss to him to though. Well, ha, they wont have to wait to miss him for very long. Here puss puss puss.

With one wolf down he searched out his other targets who were now more sparce on the battlefield. The his right arm and shoulder were now soaked with blood as the rotation had splattered the remains of the wolf over the right-side of his body. He truly looked like something to feared and deep down the wolves knew it, although they wouldn't show their distaste for his actions. They had now split into two as the first group were stationed on his right and the other on his left all close to the gate from which they came from. All seemed to bearing their teeth and gnarling at Satomi, they know meant business. Quickly looking at the guards which were stationed at the gate, their hazy figures half-in the shadow. It seemed as though they wanted to watch the spectacle, as if to know that it was heating up. An instinctive chill ran across Satomi's body, he could feel that they would charge him soon. Opening his body to face both groups he started to prep his next attack, his hands forming foreign signs.

Just as he had anticipated the wolves started to launch their assault. A single wolf front each group started to to charge at Satomi from either side. Zig-zagging to induce confusion in Satomi's vision as if stalking prey in the wild it wasn't hard to tell that these beasts, in a pack of this number and organised, could take down things much larger than themselves. But, he was like no other prey they would encounter in their short lifetime. With his seals complete and the wolves approximately one-and-a-half meters from him he activated his Hone Tsume technique. Now, not only did he have a large impaling weapon from his palms but now, thanks to this handy technique he would also have bone protruding from his knuckles and fingertips. As the beasts charged towards him he would attempt to try and counter their movements with his own.

As the wolf on his right launched itself in the air above to come down on Satomi the one on his left stayed on his feet angled his body downward to come up. Within an instant Satomi push his body downward and his center of gravity fell with it. With knee's bent and the power of his strong skeletal structure he would deal with the the wolf on his left first which came at a slightly quicker pace. The wolf launched itself up aiming for Satomi's neck with his large deadly bite. Shit! this thing is tough he thought to himself as the charging beast engulfed his body. Satomi reached his left hand around to grab the fur of the wolf and try and pull it over to the right side of his body. This would hopefully allow for a possible collision between the two animals as they both made their way for him.

Knotting his hand in the beasts fur he also dug his bone into the wolf which protruded from his fingertips piercing it slightly around its neck. As blood started to flow the wolf didn't seem to care as its eye's were firmly fixed on Satomi's neck as it pounced with rage. With his own strike he rolled his body over to his right trying to position his body towards the other wolf. Success! however, even though the wolf also rolled its body following the momentum of Satomi it still partially landed his bite on Satomi gnawing into his shoulder. The pain was dire as his own blood started to seep from him. The wolf wouldn't let go but Satomi had counted on that. Like a pitbull it wouldn't let go of its prey. This way, the wolf that was in the air had no where to go as it collided into its counterpart. It managed to not bite it in time but it succeed into knocking the wolf off of Satomi. As opposite side of momentum clashed the two wolves fell onto each other as Satomi turned his body to face them, the pain of his shoulder beating like a flooded heart.

Argghh..!

The dull ache of his wound enveloped his body but he had no time to think about it. The floor below the pairing was covered in blood partaken from both parties. As the wolves scrambled to get to their feet Satomi launched himself forward impaling the wolf which originally came from his right in through its neck and up into its skull. It was now a dead corpse onto of the alive wolf as it frantically sensed its own impeding danger. As Satomi went to launch his forearm bone through the other wolf something caught the side of his eye. Most likely smelling the blood which seeped from Satomi's wound the other two wolves pounced into action each taking their respective routes to his location. Shit he would be open to attack as he now had to deal with three wolves! how would he combat the situation, his brain started to roll over in thought, but the ever present ache of his wound pounded its way into his brain.

As the wolf struggled to gain its feet underneath the dead wolf which lay on top of it Satomi started to form handseals as he pushed his arms upward. The wolf below him was already wounded from when he grabbed it on its initial strike as a ring of blood soaked fur was ever present around its thick neck. The strike was not fatal in anyway and these wolves meant business. He had to deal with the wolf before it clawed its way out as it was closest to his position. If he tried to rid the other two wolves which were charging at him then he would leave himself open for an attack from below. Which ever way he saw it he was going to sustain a strike of sorts but he had to calculate which would be the most beneficial for him. He was a medical ninja after all and deduction of wound prevarication was something that was second nature to him.

The two wolves that charged came in the same paths that the previous set took both angling themselves on his location and fast. He would finish his handseals soon which would more than surely finish off one of the wolves but he still had trouble with the other. Was he going to bet on them taking the route of movement that the two wolves took before him, surely not, they saw how that ended. Neither of them looked to take an aerial as both were low and staunch with their jaws locked to strike him. This would mean a distanced based technique would work perfectly but he didn't have enough range to take out both of them at a single time. With his chakra reserves depleting by the minute he had to decide his action. As his handseals came to a finish Satomi angled his body upward, his left arm and hand angling down towards the wolf that was now nearly out from underneath its cage and his right arm angled also to the left. He would take out the wolf charging to his left. But was it the right decision?!

Teshi Sendan!

As those two words came out from Satomi's mouth in a furious roar fragments of bones started to protrude from his fingertips, the same fingertips which were pointed towards the wolf charging on his left. The bullets would move at thrice the speed on a kunai more than enough to all pierce the wolf, the same wolf which was now at an undesirably close range to Satomi and a wolf that didn't know the technique was coming. As the white bone shot from his fingertips the wolf charged upward but to no avail. All five bullets pierced it two through the forward-facing skull, another two through its torso and the last through one of its legs. It was gone. There would be no coming back from that injury. He now had to focus his attention on his other opponents. Three down, there was only two left.

Moving his left arm upward the pain from his shoulder bellowed forward as he moved his arm down crashing into the wolf that was below him. His forearm bone which grow from his palm was now pierced through the skull of the beast, and was looked to be the temporal lobe of its brain. He had now successfully stopped four of his five desired targets but there was still one left, the one that would become the most deadly and costly to the ninja. The arena was now soaked in blood as the corpses of wolves were now scattered all over. He had hoped the men that were watching had enjoyed the fight so far. Satomi's own animal instinct was now rising as his blood started to boil. A low growl from his vocal chords could be heard as his rage and bloodlust started to increase.

Argggh m-y g-ar-d

Within an instant the wolf from right latched onto Satomi like a crocodile clamping down. Unfortunately it had chosen the same place that he had sustained an injury from the other wolf. Its strong furious grip was now wrapped around the same left shoulder that it had been before. The pain was unbearable as Satomi started to scream in agony. He tried to move his left arm but couldn't as the pain paralyzed any movement he could try and muster. The bone which was pierced through the beast below started to protrude inward into Satomi's body as he couldn't sustain its presence any longer. He had to react fast and with his might. The wolf would not let go any time soon. The forearm bone on his right side was still present and with all his strength he drilled it into the side of the wolf which had now thrown the two of them to the ground. One thrust, two. Satomi in a fit of rage stabbed the wolf until its cries seized. As its grip on his shoulder eased he knew it was dead, although the pain had not changed.

He had successfully beaten all five of the wolves but he had not come out of it unscathed. As he lay on top of the last wolf he had just killed exhausted and writhing in pain three guards came out into the arena. Satomi himself could not move his left arm so he couldn't perform any handseals to heal himself, he needed help from the guards in order to do so. The blood was now gushing at an expected pace, fast and fluid. He rolled over onto the ground now on his back. He could see the three guards now all over his body as if three globes placed in the sky above. If they could just help him to recover movement in his left arm then he could help himself. He still had reserves of chakra left from the battle.

Are any of you medical ninja? I my-self am b-ut I nee-d help to re-cove-r move-ment in my lef-t arm. Then I ca-n heal myself...go-t it?

His words were trailing he could feel the heat of the wound take over. He would soon reach a sort of fever and the wound would need to be healed soon. Luckly, although not a medical ninja one of the guards new basic medical practice and started to form handseals of his own. Suddenly a green hue came across his hands as he placed it over Satomi's wound. Like a gush of cold water streaming over a hot roof Satomi writhed in pain. The wound was complicated and layered, he wouldn't be able to heal it completely but hopefully he could do enough for movement. As the bleeding stops the skin around it started to close in. The fatigue had now gone as his body focused on one area only. As the man sat up he explained that that was as far as he could go with the technique.

Satomi could now sit upward and had slight movement in his arm and hand. He could perform handseals but to a much slower and sloppier degree. He was at no time rush, all he had to do was make sure they were the correct signs and channel his chakra properly. He was a medical ninja, chakra control was second nature to him. He could do this! Forming his seals slowly, one after the other, he would channel his chakra into the wound on his shoulder, using a larger amount than he had hoped for. In'yu Shōmetsu would allow him to internal channel medical chakra to his wound and heal it rapidly. The wound was not fatal but he would have to use some amount of chakra to get back to full movement. The flesh of the wound rapidly started to heal as the skin closed over as if nothing ever happened. A cool feeling circulated his body as he felt refreshed. It was technique meant for anticipation in battle, but it various uses.

Hoping to his feet he thanked the men for their help. He was soaked in blood and just wanted to leave. During the fight he felt so go and full of adrenaline, but now he just wanted to leave. He had caused such a mess. Walking out the gates he made his way home. He couldn't go to the mission compound looking the way he did. Thankfully the arena was close to his house. Walking and rotating his left arm to see if everything was in order he made his way home. What a day!
