[~Kohana <3]

Yet again she would return to the ruined city to do battle. The shattered buildings were only in more turmoil than from when she had first arrived. Flashbacks from her previous encounter here blinked through her mind as rubble was tossed, buildings were thrown, and the crater off to her left now collected dust. This place in general was a testament to her power and her power alone. So far no one had stood a chance against her. Even if her title as Hokage wasn’t known, even if her eyes and heritage wasn’t known, and even if her strength was belittled—she still won against those who challenged her.

The first ran with tail between their legs while the second fought a severely outclassed fight against her. The man in the second round put up a fight though and strived to continue on to the best of his ability, even if it wasn’t enough. Men like that she could admire. Regardless though, she was here to lay waste to yet another victim. If not for her, Konohagakure no Sato deserved some fame after so much misfortune that had befallen it since Ryuusuke deserted them. The thought sent a quiver down her spine. Not in anger, since that blinded those who were fools. Instead came a drive, determination to wield that anger and mold it into strength.

With it she would be unbeatable.

In the distance, among the dust that the wind would whip up from time to time, a figure could be seen. Finally her opponent had arrived. In only a short handful of seconds they could begin this battle. Not to be mistaken for arrogance, but merely confidence, Kohana wanted to nip this round as quickly as possible. After all, from what she could tell by the general numbers in rank was that after this battle they would be on the semi-finals. So close yet so far still. The goal, however, was still quite in her grasp. That was until she made out the figure who would be her opponent.

The anger she tried molding into strength bubbled over and she could feel herself wanting to crater the entire area now before even letting the man get any sort of grip on himself. Memories of what she had had to endure only made it worse. One disappointment after another, one heartache after another, one death of a friend after another—all coming from his lack of attendance. As quickly as he brimming anger came, it departed as the thoughts nearly falling off into oblivion at her mind’s backburner screamed out for her to regain control of herself. Thankfully she did.

“Uchiha Ryuusuke. I don’t suspect you’ll be leaving this ruined city.”

It was all she said, simple as that…

[Trigga]

The last dispute ended in a clear victory; the younger of the two clansmen cruelly outmatched in rank and it was due to his naïveté and lackadaisical exertion of chakra that led to his demise. Truthfully, Ryūsuke hadn’t been one who favored inflicting death; regardless, times of distress changed a man so easily. It was to his heart’s content when the Uchiha found out Esei—his former opponent—had survived the wounds, though wouldn’t be participating further in this tournament. Good. A child like him didn’t deserve to die in such a place, and by a man who didn’t have the right to kill.

This alone ushered in the next round, and strangely enough, the blue-haired man could feel this event drawing closer and close towards its end. Nonetheless, as he moved deeper into the trenches of this ruined city, his opposition became clear. Hyūga Kohana, The Yondaime Hokage. While at first shocked, it was somewhat of a relief to see the woman who was entrusted with the care of his village advance after two rounds. Her words didn’t sting as they were intended to pierce the man’s resolve. His will was as hardened as the war-weathered armor that coated his frame and for that alone, she wouldn’t diminish his stance; not even the slightest hint of faltering would arise.

“I really can’t afford to stay here much longer, Lady Yondaime.” She was smart, and knew what he was implying. Surrounded by debris, spoiled structures and an array of expendables (crates, boxes, etc), Ryūsuke stood in the open; exposed like an nerve as he knew where this once busy street would lead one of the two. While not favoring battling woman—especially ones he cared for—her hate was quite tangible and if he didn’t oppose her wrath, he’d end up buried in this damned city.

Pompous asshole...

It was obvious to her that the former Hokage had no intentions of losing to her. Of course she could have figured that out before anyways. However, her loss here was not acceptable. Regardless of the fact that they were both from Konohagakure no Sato, the fact that SHE, the current Kage didn't win (if that were to happen) would say volumes. Never should the power of a leader diminish, it should always keep getting stronger. She had to be stronger than Ryuusuke no matter what.

Veins bulged at her temples as they pulsed with chakra. Her eyesight sharpened as she was able to see ever last grain of detail everywhere around her as well as every last bit of chakra within her opponent. She would have to be careful though. She knew of what Ryuu was capable of with his eyes alone. But that was easy to avoid. All she would have to do is never look him in the eyes---and with her 360 degree vision that wouldn't be hard at all.

In one swift motion then she decided to shove her hands into the ground below and rip out a large chunk of the earth (20 meters) and then proceed to punch it straight towards the former Kage. Following that she removed two kunai from her pouch and threw them to the left and to the right to both areas where he could potentially dodge to.

She would win at all costs.

As its name implies, the Byakugan is just that, a featureless white eye that can occasionally possess hints of blue-gray and lavender, respectively. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge, representing the sudden chakra activation that makes the doujutsu possible. All members of the clan possess and can use the kekkei genkai from birth, as opposed to needing to awaken it. Byakugan gives the user a near 360 degree field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the third thoracic vertebra. With this vision, the Hyuuga can see through solid objects, and can use a degree of telescopic sight up to a maximum standard distance of fifty meters. However, by holding a single seal (tiger), the user may enter a "focused" state and increase their range up to a maximum of five kilometers; they must remain still during this enhanced sight, and due to their attention (and sight) being well beyond their immediate surroundings, are quite vulnerable to assaults. Finally, one of the greatest uses of the Byakugan is the ability to see chakra, chakra flow as well as the chakra circulation system inside the body with great detail. It is from this particular ability that they are able to employ their ultimate attack style - the Gentle Fist.

Note: Because of the eyes ability to see all things chakra related, the user can detect chakra sealed barriers as well as determine when genjutsu is being used. It can also discern a transformation as well all types of clones (spare for Shadow Clones, as the chakra is evenly distributed).

Utilizing their chakra-imbued strength, the Souin practitioner bends down, thrusting their hands into the ground. They grip at the earth and pull, ripping the ground from its confines (a chunk no larger than ten 20 meters in diameter). This force extends ahead, like an upwards tidal wave, causing anyone standing on the area to be sent flying into the air. Can also be used defensively, if the earth is pulled up to block most attacks. Offensively, this technique is limited, as it cannot lift opponents into the air very forcefully--most of the chakra-imbued strength is utilized to rip the earth out, and not to hurdle enemies into the air. In general, it is used as a disruption more than anything; most shinobi will be able to land safely even after being flung by the earth.

While armored, Ryūsuke wasn’t prepared for what came next. Looking on, even from their distance, the man could see everything, even without the activation of his Sharingan as Kohan pierced the ground with her hands. A quick tremor resonated and before his amber eyes, did the earth itself lifted. His eyes widening in incredulity, Ryūsuke was bemused, though he didn’t allow his shock to be the cause of his demise. Breaking off to his left in a full sprint, he moved into the alleyway, this would parallel with the tossing of the mammoth-sized mound of terra the Hokage decided to alleviate from the earth. Nothing was silent as the gargantuan wedge crashed through the sides of the buildings, obviously bigger than the alleyway itself before finally landing with an earth-shattering clout that forced the floor beneath a concealed Uchiha to quake. Luckily, with the rock being so large, and occupying so much space, Ryūsuke’s evasion would ensure him safety from the impending Kunai, coupled with the fact that her large chunk of earth made it impossible for the weapon to approach beyond its point.

Sighing, concurrently did the Uchiha reached to his sides, drawing forth two Kunai, one more adorned then the other. Instantly following, did he make his way around the corner of the alleyway; the man was for certain she activated her Byakugan and while he moved in secrecy to the normal Shinobi, she could see all. That was exactly what he wanted from her as he continued onward. This road, a tapered one, but filled with elusive opportunities would eventually lead him towards Kohana’s Right flank, that’s if she didn’t move or interrupt him before then, of course.

Ryuusuke must think he had accomplished something great, having dodged her assault. Of course, she didn’t really think he would be so dimwitted as to get hit by such a large and obvious attack. If anything, it was a testament of her strength and just how she would bring him to his knees before her. She was Kage now and she would prove herself to be better than him. Out with the old and in with the new you could say. She would make sure everyone, not just in Konohagakure, but around the shinobi nations would know of her.

She would be remembered as someone powerful and great.

Despite his escape, Kohana still could see every last move he made. Even as the large chunk of earth collided into the ground and buildings further ahead and everything beneath her shook her eyes never left the retreating figure of Ryuusuke. Kohana knew that he knew she’d be watching. He was biding his time to come around to her flank. Most likely preparing some sort of technique or something a little more assassination like. The Hyuuga, however wouldn’t have that what so ever.

She would rush forward and jump into the air while Ryuu started down the alley, only to bring her leg down as hard as she could. The dispersing of chakra from her body and into the ground, needless to say, had an explosive result. In that instant everything within a 40 meter radius would be uprooted and crumble, the crater caused by the impact wanting to destroy everything in its way. Luckily the size of the crater would reach passed where Ryuu was in the alleyway and back behind him into the building there. Even if he escaped the tremors and rupturing ground the debris and chunks of stone from the buildings crumbling around him would be something else to contest with.

Using the monstrous strength gathered from their fine turned chakra, the medic will raise their leg in a high arc, and bring it thundering down causing massive damage to whatever it impacts, creating a ten twenty meter crater in diameter. If one of these kicks or strikes were to connect, they would kill a normal ninja.

Note: By jumping in the air prior to bringing their leg down, the user can increase the diameter of the crater to twenty forty meters.

Because of this, the cost of allchakra related techniques (Souin included) have been reduced by a single tier. This also grants the user the ability to access the Souin tier 1 mastery.

Tier One – Fleet of Foot: As a more combat experienced medic, shinobi with this mastery are incredibly more agile than your typical shinobi. Because of this, medics move at x1.5 the speed of your typical shinobi. This bonus does not stack with the taijutsu primary bonus.

Tier Two – Herculean Might : With refined chakra precision comes a greater force from it’s release. From this, the user has effectively learned to double the effects of all Souin based jutsu (including the damage done to the surroundings, such as craters and the like).

Some ways into his sprint, it would seem as if the Uchiha would now be faced with another dilemma of gargantuan proportions. Another quick tremor shot through the ground—spiking the buildings and the flooring causing small fissures and fractures myriad. Why Is she so reckless, the man used to himself, still in mid rush, gathering his balance the instant he was knocked off it by the systemic shockwaves. Buildings—while ruined—still held some durability, while others soon fell to collapse; Luckily, Ryūsuke was in no direct harm of the towering constructs, as they crumbled inwards, yet he found himself smothered in a cloud of modestly dense dust. Nonetheless, he soon escaped that as he breached the cloud and continued onward. She was playing a godly hand—the Byakugan and immense strength unfathomed by even the mightiest of warriors; how he’d defeat her, he didn’t know, though a single seal¹ would usher in some leverage on the other side.

Meanwhile and in tandem, did the Shinobi continue forward, avoiding colliding with falling debris and stone as he made his way for the corner that would eventually lead him towards Kohana. She could see him, and that was just fine. Her sullying the topography even worse then what she already was simply made it easier for him to do what he needed to do. As the air finally sat still in the wake of her destruction, Ryūsuke could only wonder what was driving her rampant motivation?

Everything in the 40-meter radius was destroyed. A near perfect crater stretched out from where her foot had hit. Buildings had sunk, collapsed, or had fallen over. Jagged pieces of earth, rock, and rubble jutted out from the ground, and other areas were simply flattened. In one swift motion she had changed the playing field. Not like he had much area to hide from her anyways thanks to her eyes, however now he was all but out in the open to her unless he ran further into the city. Of course she wouldn’t let that happen—she would block his exit with a thrown building if need be.

As much as she could see him however, as well as his movement to perform a handseal to likely mold chakra, she didn't react. Kohana stayed put, standing all nice and pretty at the center of the chakra strength induced crater. Her eyes pulsed as she narrowed them at her opponent, someone she had once considered a good friend. There was no point in doing anything in retaliation. She could see him and prepare for anything that he threw at her, which was why she felt she could kick her ankle weights off with no worries. (And especially since he was still rounding the corner from the ruined building).

With those gone she would rush forward in a zigzag pattern, like a serpent, at speeds much faster than the normal shinobi (x3 Speed) while reaching into her pouch grabbing a kunai. She played nice by trying to crush him from afar. Now, however, she would close the distance and take him out hand-to-hand. After all, that’s what she was best known for. He had no chance in hell with her full repertoire of techniques whether it be her Hyuuga heritage or the power she had gained from her Iryou and Souin training.

Ryuusuke would be a dead man.

Kohana was so reckless at times and relied too much on the corporeal strength she borrowed that this event had truly manifested her true colors. Rescinding the surrounding area, leveling construct after construct and damaging those still intact, she opened the field more than needed and it would almost put her Byakugan to a state of complete obsolesce. While he focused on moving to her flanks, through the cracks and openings—the rather large openings—that her majesty beckoned, he could see her relieving herself of something, though from the distance, he wasn’t quite sure. Meanwhile, however, his sleuth tracked in secrecy. Though that mattered little for what would happen next would force the man into a state of desperation he didn’t favor in these situations.

His friend—or former friend as she’d claim, charged in, meandering the field in attempts to force the uchiha to question his judgment. In that instant—the recognition of her moving did his eyes light a bright crimson and his movements stopped. His Sharingan now galvanized, he could effortlessly track the woman as she closed in. This was the most perilous stunt he had pulled in this tournament thus far—attempting to combat a Hyūga—of her caliber—in close quarters combat. Her speed was surreal, though it wasn’t anything he could anticipate—while his own was well adjusted to reacting with his heightened perception.

His hands would come together, attempting to form a short string of seals as she advanced; his eyes following her with saintly accuracy while her shadow would fail her in due time, he needed to be prepared for the impending impact. Kohana was bloodthirsty and surely hated her predecessor; now all he had to do was show her why he would always be within her heart, and her hate. Standing in the midst of a derelict battlefield—which once was a ruined city—he didn’t have much to work with, and she destroyed many of his evasive sources, so he was now forced to challenge her in a field she was comfortable with.

Tier One - Advanced Training, the Body: Having mastered their Sharingan, the Uchiha clan member learns to better incorporate their predictions with actual movements. Synchronizing their evolved sight with more concise and specific movements, the Uchiha clan member achieves a higher state of agility (25% - roughly half that of the first gate). While this doesn't make the Uchiha impossible to hit, they are relatively more agile than your typical shinobi.

This is the final form of the “normal” Sharingan. The clan members pupil will turn red and develop three of the wheel swirls in both eyes. In this form, the clan member can read Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu, learn how the skill is done and then copy it to be used then or later.

This level of the Sharingan permits a great deal of agility, allowing them to better conserve and direct their attacks based on an impressive level of perception. Three tomoe Sharingan allow seamless copying and interpretation of a wide array of jutsu. At this level, the Sharingan can perform Genjutsu and hypnosis if eye contact is made and the ninja has access to the appropriate Genjutsu training.

Additionally, keep in mind that the Sharingan’s ability to be used effectively is dependent on visibility and sight range.

Note: This variation of the Sharingan is capable of piercing all a-rank Genjutsu and below, and is capable of predicting advanced taijutsu (a-rank and below), and comprehending movements that are x4 the speed of your average shinobi. For an increment of one Mid worth of chakra, the user may copy any viable technique of a-rank and below; this cannot be applied to Kinjutsu, Advanced Releases, or other Kekkei Genkai.

There was a flare of chakra that swelled along Ryuu's temples and into his eyes. That was easy to figure what that was. Knowing him, his Sharingan would be able to track her and help him react but she knew there was no way he'd actually be faster than she was right now. Even if he dodged, all she would have to do is pivot and kick outwards and it would be done. She just had to get him in close enough to her.

Easier said than done. After all, she knew him just like he knew her.

Though she had started off in a serpentine like dash towards him, even though it wouldn't take long to reach him, she didn't want to take the chance of him moving too far from her general line of attack. Granted every piece of rubble on the field was now a weapon, she didn't want to have to resort back to a game of cat and mouse. That's why she destroyed everything to begin with. Nowhere to hide, nowhere to take cover.

However as she ran chakra poured through her body and down into her feet and with one quick motion. Propelled forward by the speed she had been going at, Kohana would leap forward, but not so much into the air, just simply forward. As she did she held the kunai defensively while her free hand drew back with a closed fist. With her capabilities she could leap close to 50 meters but she wouldn't need that, closing the rough 30 that lay between them easily.

That's when her attack came in the form of a chakra enhanced punch that could easily break bones that, if hit, would send Ryuu flying at least 10 meters back. Regardless if he was knocked back or gave a last minute dodge the kunai in her hand would be let loose to follow him---its aim to sink right into his flesh and spill his blood. To aid this, the moment she would land a small shockwave would also radiate outwards in a distance of 10 meters mostly destroying that little area as well which would likely help knock him off balance. Due to her speed and even quicker leap, her attack would have come quite quick--quick even to his Sharingan. Of course that was all in a perfect world.

However, considering just how ruthless she was being in her onslaught, she couldn't see how he would escape entirely unscathed...

Yet another versatile aspect of the Medic's Chakura no Iko style is their ability to produce fine amounts of chakra, at once, for destructive reasons. In this case, the medic sends a healthy wave of chakra at their feet, initiating an explosion that allows them an impressive forward leap (up to twenty-five meters fifty). As they land, another chakra burst serves to cushion their landing, as the area around is slightly destroyed (in a five ten meter radius) by the sudden displacement of one's chakra to soften the landing.

His hands would come together, attempting to form a short string of seals as she advanced;

So she decided to finally stop lollygagging? Perfect, the Uchiha mused, his eyes stalking every tension in her muscles and just as quickly, meting out the information upon completing the final seal to his technique. Ox, Rabbit and finally Monkey—these three infinitesimal handseals came together, empowering the hand of the Uchiha as the Hyūga closed in quickly—her feet seemingly off the ground as she held her weapon so defensively. The blue-haired Shinobi noticed the swelling of chakra within her clenched fist, but bothered with it little considering her impatient conduct would be the end of this dispute, regardless.

Deep blue coated his hand as she zeroed in, did his arm reach out—a beam of light extending outwards immediately with the intention of piercing the Hokage directly through the center of her chest cavity; such a murderous attack was oddly enough, welcomed with the refined chirping of birds.

Electricity coated his hand, and swiveled through the stream of chakra produced by his Chidori Eisou in attempts to impact before her feet even touched the ground (within the Eisou’s range), pinning her in place well before she could execute whatever devious plan she had in mind. The technique was hazardous, and exhausted quite the amount of chakra; nonetheless, it would be the Armageddon which would advance him to whatever succeeded this bout, and the end of Kohana’s days in this tournament. I’m so sorry,—quite certain his blade would sever the ties between the Hyūga and life, his countermeasure was still well in pursuit. Nonetheless, such actions wouldn’t be needed for through his eyes, he could see all, follow her movements, and finally—come to the conclusion that this would end regardless of what happened.

One of the rare techniques within the shinobi world involving both shape and nature manipulation, Chidori is a Raiton based ninjutsu developed for the purpose of ensured assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, the user's hand become enveloped by an electrical force. This force is their chakra altered in nature to an electrical current. By altering the shape of the force, similar to an electrical discharge, they can decide the power and range of the attack. After concentrating all the chakra into the arm, the user rushes forward in order to use the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with the extended forearm. Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name.

The second variation of Chidori involves a similar extension of the original charge, but this time, in a more concentrated, linear fashion. On a whim the user is able to shape their Raiton Chakra to form an extending spear of pure lightning, aiming to pierce whatever it is they are aiming at. The best part? This spear takes on Chidori's characteristics, including it's ability to cut through anything which stands in its path, allowing the lightning sword to strike its target with ease. Finally, this variation is similar to Chidori Nagashi in that it causes the target to go numb from the excessive electrical charge.

[~Kohana <3]

The hate she had put to the back of her mind for the Uchiha since she had become Hokage slowly began to bubble over and resurface. They were a surly bunch with an egotistical, elitist sort of attitude. They thought their Sharingan was divine, that their visual prowess could see and know all. Hardly. When it came to bettering ones general understanding of their surroundings and reaction time, the Uchiha were known for that though covered over by the more extraordinary feats of technique copying, hypnosis, and Genjutsu. The Byakugan? There was a reason it was called the all-seeing white eye.

Indeed her leap forward was quick, one that could close the distance between Ryuusuke and herself quite easily. However that didn’t mean that it had made her blind. She too was of the Raiton affinity and she too knew the exact same technique that she could see being prepared. If not for the seals she had neglected to take care of, the swell of chakra and the electrical nature of it was enough for her to turn her body. After all, Hyuuga’s were known to be flexible considering their type of taijutsu anyways. So in response, when the beam of chirping electrical current came spearing towards her it indeed hit its mark—or almost did.

She had crossed that 10-meter threshold of the technique’s range rather quickly considering the power behind her Souin based leap. However it was as the technique manifested and was put towards her that her body twisted. She drew her left arm, the one holding the kunai in its hand, closer to her chest while pulling her right arm pulled further back for her fist to be able to be brought down later. In doing this, the spear pierced her side enough to nick a rib and keep going. It wasn’t enough to pierce her and make her stop dead in her tracks in midair. Pain, yes, but all good medics had enough tolerance to deal with it. Paralysis? Not so much. There was just some numbing to her side considering she didn’t take the full impact of the attack whatsoever

Being so close to Ryuusuke already for the spear to hit her side, there was no way that there would be enough time allowed for him to completely disperse his technique and get away from her. Needless to say that twist would be brought back and used to bring down the punch she had prepared for him with every ounce of fury and power she had.
