Jens was allured to see his homeland from a rural perspective. He wondered what other things lay about in this world, and from this curiosity, began walking. Where, he did not know. This was actually more of an impulse. He had never been to foreign lands before. He would make a 'party' out of it. A question that scaled through his mind, what would he do? It would either be befriend some of the foreigners, otherwise perhaps a friendly spar. That was a customary thing with him, to test out what others where capable of.

He continued walking, for what felt like an hour, maybe two, not too sure which direction he was going. Then he spotted something. A stray dog. The dog was filthy, and very skinny. Obviously, it was malnourished and had no form of domestication. He felt sad now, looking at it he spoke calmly, "You okay there little guy?" The dog was struck with fear, clearly not having very positive interactions with humans. It began to run. Jens, who still had no ambition in which direction to go, decided to let this dog lead him. He began running.

Half an hour later, he was lost. The dog had deserted him with ease. It appeared the animal preferred a vigilante life, so he'd let it be. Now he had no idea where he was. The earth was harder, no longer sandy. In fact, it was pure rock he was standing upon! He hadn't seen this to be a common thing, so clearly he was in a different land, possibly another country. Wandering more, he found a battered sign, that read, 'TSUCHI NO KUNI.' Clearly he was in foreign territory. Guess this could be considered goal accomplished?

Jens was bored with the time he had spent in this country. He had picked one fight, with a man who bore no challenge. He attempted a few measly techniques before surrendering, no fun in that. This left him to simply walking once again. Still no idea where there was to go in this barren wasteland. Of course the country had a hidden village, but it was hidden, and he didn't need to create any havoc by going into a foreign village.

Now he was off in another direction, which he felt was east, but then again, he didn't have a compass. If he was lucky he'd see a tree that hadn't completely decomposed yet. His stomach moaned fiercely, he hadn't eaten in a day. That was until he saw a small animal drinking out of a lake. It was the perfect opportunity as he needed water too. He grabbed a shuriken and quickly struck the small animal down. He felt sad doing so, as he got closer identified it to be a squirrel. It was evil, but he needed to keep going.

Two hours later he had begun walking, his stomach full and his thirst quenched. He wasn't very proud of what he did, but at least now he'd survive. After a while he found himself in a colder environment. There was something white beneath him, something he'd never seen before. Is this what snow was? Yes, it must have, otherwise it wouldn't be so cold. He was in a new land, was it the snow country? He couldn't find any signs, so he'd have no way of knowing as he wandered into this new, unfamiliar land.

A plethora of frozen white, pellets jabbed away at Yuuza's steel face mask, seeking to enter its interior. His hooded robe draped over his head and aimlessly drug itself in the snow behind him. Tetsu no kuni was nothing more than a sea of winter, but will nothing in comparison to Yukigakure's weather, even with his protective clothing, it would have proved difficult to tread through its land. Tetsu no kuni wasn't not bad either, mere a few inches of snow, which all parted from Yuuza's feet with each footfall. The sensation and sound of crunching flakes of snow beneath his feet was nerve racking, become more unpalatable with each passing second. But with his resolve in plain, cognitive view, he dared not falter.

Accompanied by his two companions, Saori and his old Takigakure ally Kisaraku, he decided to scout ahead, surveying the area with his pitiless orbs that burned with a healthy desire for power. They flickered to and fro, surveying the lay of the physical land with his senses wide open, imbibing his mind of all details that could possibly have been there to know. And he heard something, a trail of steps, followed by a man under the guise of the snowy downpour, but it was nothing Yuuza's keen eyes could not pierce. His eyes radiated with purple hues as Ardemus blue beams of power throbbed as he grasped its hilt.

"You there, show yourself now or prepare yourself for battle!"

Roughly 15 meters from the figure, he spoke, ready to draw his clans blade at a moments notice

[Hop]

[Re-enter I guess]

Jens had found himself a new person quick as he entered the new land. The sudden shouting caught him off guard, making him stumble backwards a couple steps. He looked around, surveying the area for who called to him. He spotted a charred piece of wood, most likely used for building a fire, then looked up to see a cloaked man. He was concealed so he couldn't catch very many features of the man, but he assumed him to be whoever was camping here. Perhaps he was intruding on there grounds? Regardless, the threat to fight him triggered his interest. Oh well, wouldn't hurt to get into a spar.

He called out to him, with a strong voice, "If it's a fight you're trying to start, I'm more then willing to get into one!" He opened two packs, one on each side of his waist, which revealed 10 shuriken in each one. Then below his right pack was a second pack he opened, revealing 40 ft. worth of ninja wire. He decided to tease the man a little, "That is, if you think you can take me!"

[くすり]

In the blistering cold, where ivory flakes fluttered to the ground slowly, I found myself, behind Yuuza. He had decided to do some scouting ahead, but I didn't feel right letting him go alone, at least if something transpired I could be there to aid him. Even if it would be healing minor wounds I'd be of some use to him. After all, it was him who took me in, and with his help I was sure I'd survive in this ugly yet beautiful world longer, even if it would be just enough to truly experience life.

Eventually I had caught up behind Yuuza, I would have been faster, but all of this snow was inhibiting my movements. It was so cold and I was, so not use to this weather. A small breath of air passed my lips as it unfurled into a curling puff of chilled breath. Pulling my hood over my head, my face was hidden beneath the shadows it casted. I was lucky Yuuza was kind enough to give me this hooded cloak, it definitely came in handy.

Emerging from the frosted forest, I saw Yuuza confront someone, I didn't know how, but things seemed like they were taking a change for the worst. I only hoped he'd be okay if something did happened. "Yuuza..." Whispering to myself, I stayed where I was, my sapphire pools locked onto the ensuing conflict which was destined to happen. I was sure Yuuza could handle his own, but being careful wasn't bad. Masked by the snow, I stayed roughly forty meters away from them, only watching.

(directly into Yuuza's mind) "Yuuza, don't be alarmed its me Saori. If you need my help just think it, and I'll be there."

My voice would fade from his conciseness as I'd simply be a bystander, watching with intensity.

"If it's a fight you're trying to start, I'm more then willing to get into one!"

His voice drilled itself into Yuuza's ears with a loud tone, one that brimmed with confidence, maybe this man was strong, maybe not, nevertheless Yuuza would find out in the moments to come. Having already kept his focus hard upon the mans emplacement, he took the high road and responded with hostility. He began to reach in his packs for odds and ends, a ninja's best friends, however, by the time he could have found what he wanted, Yuuza had already summoned a group of liquid doppelgangers all of which rushed at the man in a triangular formation, decreasing their distance roughly 20 meters. The powers of Ardemus flowed deeply within Yuuza's veins.

[Saori]"Yuuza, don't be alarmed its me Saori. If you need my help just think it, and I'll be there."

"!!! I see. Thats a pretty nifty trick there. I'll be sure to keep it in mind! "

His thoughts resonated with Saori's own as he summoned forth another stigma of power through Ardemus without the need for seals or a tangible source of water, it was like magic. Without warn, or any physical indication that could have foreshadowed his attack, plethora's of water billowed from beneath his opponent, trapping him in a orb of Poseidon's water.

Ardemus
Rank: A
Type: Primary/Ninjutsu/Melee
Special: A one-handed sword imbued with Suiton chakra. Used as a catalyst and source for suiton chakra as long as chakra equivalent to the technique being used.
Description: Ardemus is an ancient blade forged by the great grandfather of Yuuza Kenshiro and passed down through generations. It was now Kenshiro's turn to wield this mighty Yuuza blade. It bears the appearance of a standard short sword, however, lacks a proper hilt and the blade itself radiates with a watery blue, signifying its suiton nature. The secret behind this blades power is that it acts as a catalyst and source for suiton jutsu, making up for the constant demand of hand seals and source. With a simple charge of chakra it allows the wielder to perform a specific list of suiton jutsu equivalent to the highest level of Poseidon's dominion known and lower without seals or a outside source. However, because of its power, it causes all suiton techs used to increase on tier in consumption. Also Ardemus can only perform suiton jutsu that the user knows, so it varies from user to user.
Cost: 35,000 Ryo
Domain: Must Know Suiton


Poseidon's Dominion
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Passive/Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: see special!

The user can only cast suiton jutsu that they have knowledge of and must be equivalent to the highest rank known. Jutsu summoned via Ardemus has its cost go up one tier from its original. Range is equivalent to whatever jutsu is being used.
Description: Held with two hands, the user comes to control the powers of suiton in a way like never before, though sealless the user must use both hands. The effects of jutsu used are not augmented in any way except for the cost doubling. With a simple swing, thrust, or simply pointing it at the target whilst feeding it chakra to activate its abilities
Domain: Suiton | Ardemus


Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Techqniue)
Rank: C, C, C [150]
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Explosion range covers 5 meters. For every 4 clones simultaneously detonated over an opponent, the effects of 'Water Prison' can be achieved without needing physical contact. Same 'Prison' effects apply.
Description: With this technique, the Suiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of water, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, physical strikes fixed on a point within their body will force it to break up into a puddle and join the mass below, able to avoid danger and regenerate anywhere the water exists. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a blob of water that aims to take over the nearest opponent available. If found, the water envelops the victim whole, drowning them in the user's cursed water and setting up more attacks of the same nature.
Domain: Suiton.


Suitenhoufutsu (Sky and Water Convergence)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Only one person can be trapped at a time. However, every time this jutsu is learned again, the user gains the ability to imprison one extra person with an additional prison. Water comes forth from the ground right below the user and moves fast, without warning. If target is running across a surface of water, the prison moves twice as fast. Same effects as Water Prison apply.
Description: Suitenhoufutsu is a suiton ninjutsu technique which causes water to rise from the ground and surround the target, like Water Prison, yet without requiring the user to keep it steady by keeping hand contact. After the user does a string of hand seals, they summon the water, and can then use this water to drown his target, keep them imprisoned, or even torture.
Dmain: Suiton. Must know Water Prison Technique

The man was prepared to attack Jens right away it seems. As three clones were formed, Jens quickly wove three hand seals. Activating his magnetism ability, his 20 ft. length of wire shot out of his pack and formed a triangle formation to meet the clones head on, and slice them where a human would have a diaphragm, so around halfway through their bodies vertically.

Simultaneously, he would adjust the magnetic polarities around his enemies sword, the metallic object being forced to move to how the polarities were adjusted, causing it to move to how Jens willed. It would swing upwards, quickly and violently. This would be positioned so it would slice straight into the man's forehead. If this failed somehow, he would make the sword violently flail left and right, as it went upwards. This would cause the man's body move around like a rag-doll, losing control of his own body if he refused to let go of the blade. He had no idea that the blade was controlling the man's suiton jutsu, but it was logical that stripping him of the blade and it was a good way for him to exploit his abilities with Zantetsuken.

If the man released the blade at all, he would keep it elevated out of arm's reach.

Your iron sand dominion is B rank, and in turn my swords are A rank. So according to your magnet technique, its unable to take control of said weapon seeing as how it is superior in rank.

Yuuza would only watch as his opponent gave no mind to even attempt to dodge his instantaneous suiton Jutsu, not that he could anyway. The waters formed a perfect sphere around his form, ensnaring him into a floating pool of death. His movements were slowed due to the pressure, it wouldn't take long for Yuuza to wait until he was deprived of all oxygen, and that is what exactly he had done. Once the mans life was snuffed out by Yuuza's watery prowess, he looted his body, retrieving the only thing he needed, Money. Soon after he spoke to Saori mentally.

"Here He has a few packs of ninja tools, take what you will, if you need something."

Jens attempt at controlling the man's sword failed ultimately. Had his training been poorly done? He couldn't help but leave the target as water enveloped his body. Struggling, that was the word to describe his attempts as it lacked success. He didn't last, and could only suffer. His dead body was left to be ransacked.

[Axcel]

Loot approved.

[MALAK;]

With Yuuza scouting ahead, Saori in the middle, Kisa took it as his responsibility to watch their backs. To make sure no one else followed them like that grunt had. Yet this meant once he caught up with the girl and Yuuza that he'd miss the short battle, only witnessing Yuuza looting the cash from the dead body.

"FUCK I MISSED IT!"

[/color]

Leaving the cash to Yuuza, and the tools to the girl, he took the shinobi's head band. Then glancing towards Yuuza he'd speak. "What now?"[/color]

[Messatsu!]

Like a menacing white phantom, he came to a perfect stand as plethora's of frozen liquid continued to plummet upon his frame. The mighty gales pulled away at his garments, causing his hooded robe to whip about. His gaze uplifted to meet Kisarazu's own before he spoke with a hollowed tone.

"For now...we continue towards the samurai summit for potential recruits, this place is known as a haven for Nuke-shinobi such as ourselves. From there We travel to Tsuchi no kuni."

Spilling the last of his words, Yuuza simply stepped off into the white horizon, fading into the ivory storm.

[/exit]

[くすり]

As if a wizard had snapped his fingers and spoke some magic incantation the battle was over. If I had blinked I was sure I would had missed half of the fight. That shinobi was of no contest to Yuuza, and his display of power, tact and his prowess with suiton simply left me flabbergasted. I was in utter awe.

It looked as if it was all to easy to Yuuza, he'd drown the man, and simply taken the money, by the time he finished drowning the poor guy, I'd already sprinted down the snowy hill, my rampant breath ivory puffs of chilled breath. I went to the corpse, swallowing my fear with It, I took what I needed after Kisazaru who'd just caught up, upset he'd missed the action.

With that I'd be following behind Yuuza,my saphire eyes locked upon him. He was surely something else. "Yuuza, you were amazing!" I said enthusiastically following behind him, into the white out of the backdrop.
