A being-a Sungagakure shinobi, one whose identity remained unknown to the senses of shinobi outside of said village. Seigen placed him under the guise of a simple shinobi whose nature and intentions remained obscured to those who knew not the lore of this his purpose, yet such guises would prove senseless against the imminent danger that was soon to be at hand.

Each step was easily miles apart from the last as he treaded across a expansive desert, every few moments, the boy halted just long enough for a glimpse of his form to be seen by lesser trained eyes should something or someone be observing him, but who would dare?. His slicked, black hair hair swayed with the winds as the constant shuffle of his gourd sung through the air. Why had he been in such a hurry? None would know, there was no point in needing to. All that needed to be known was that he'd been absent from Sunagakure for far too long, full well knowing that his presence was being surveyed by the something or someone, he needed not to waste time.

Several steps, minutes of travel, and finally, the being came to a standing rest as he masterfully read his world map. Had been lost? No, not in his own country, he simply needed to double check his path of walk, there is no harm in that is there?

A voice laced with derision rang out from fifteen meters behind Seigen, "You done pussy-footing around?"

Hiromasa didn't particularly dislike Suna-nin anymore than he disliked any other sort of ninja - he didn't care for sand the least, however. Aside from its drab blandness, it got in the weirdest of places! The dessert heat only heightened his annoyance, until his neutrality grew into genuine hatred.

"Lets get started pansy."

He stance was easy, hands hanging at his sides, feet set shoulder with apart. He gripped a kunai in his left hand, its white wrappings hidden underneath his fist. His right hand hung free at his side, and is face, save for his furrowed brow, seemed at ease- he appeared far too relaxed for mortal combat.

A voice?

Who?

Not sure...

Where?

Behind you...

Seigen pivoted upon his heel, turning around quickly with a solemn gaze only to lock eyes with the newcomer. Being the emotionally unresponsive shinobi that he was he had no words to reply with, why would he? This man before him stood as an oddity along the sea of sand, an oddity that Seigen's eyes couldn't bear, even if it'd only be a few seconds analyzing him. With not even a single to word left to be exchanged, Seigen would take the offensive role between the two. The heat of battle would finally spark, but, would it last long enough is the true question. Arms folded, he gave no sign of movement, and suddenly, torrents of sand burst forth from his gourd indiscriminately, whipping about with enough mass to allow it to expand outwardly in all directions before attempting to forgather on a single focal of his foe's emplacement.

With his opponent now occupied a clod of sand conglomerated beneath his feet, lifting him fifteen meters into the air, keeping him safe from any impending ground attacks whilst being granted with a vantage point.

[->]Saton Ryouuken (Sand Dominion)
Rank: D --> C
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: 0 - 20 meters
Special: Dominion extends 10 meters in every direction of the user, and goes up 10 more with each rank learned.
Description: The basis behind the majority of Saton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very sand around them. 'Sand Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Saton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the sand around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Saton.

[->]Sabaku Fuyuu (Desert Sand Floating)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Special: Range of sand island flotation depends on the user's 'Sand Dominion' rank. Up to one body can be suspended per clump of sand at once, plus once more each time retrained.
Description: With this ninjutsu, the user will bring together sand into cloud shaped clumps, the size of these ‘islands’ depending on the size of the user. These clumps are dense enough for the user or another ninja to rest on. During quick, dangerous attacks, this can allow the user to rise above any threat from below.
Domain: Saton. Must know Sand Dominion 'D'.

The figure turned to look him in the eye, and Hiromasa threw a kunai at his face, hands falling into a snake seal when it neared - came within 3 meters - his opponent. A stream of sand began to pour out of the gourd on Seigen's back - interesting - expanding to encompass twenty meters of space. The abrupt explosion might deter the sand's expansion - it might not - but Hiromasa didn't mind either way. In the aftermath of the explosion, he flickered forward once - deeper into the localized sand "storm" - and paused, hands poised to begin seals, his eyes watching Seigen -

His image seemed to shimmer after a second, as if he were but a mirage, and Hiromasa, already directly behind Seigen, had tossed a small stack of papers [3] into the empty gourd before flickering backward, away from the Saton user.

Shunshin - 3/11

Shunshin-Sousuru (Flickering Image)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin/Self
Special: One image may be produced per Shunshin, plus one more each time this jutsu is retrained.
Description: Nearing their Shunshin mastery, the user has nearly mastered all the aspects behind the high-speed movement. Not only can they now move about freely at such impressive speeds with little restrictions, but they are now able to move so fast that copies of themselves are left behind, perfectly resembling their master for a brief moment in order to provide confusion for the enemy. Only chakra sensing methods will be able to discern the faux presentation, but everything moves so fast the opponent is often left without time to react, turning them quickly into a victim.
Domain: Shunshin.

Shunshin-Kawasu (Shimmering Flicker)
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin
Special: Gives the user the option to side-step, curve, shimmy or even shimmer on a whim during a Shunshin, rather than remaining moving forward. Sidestep distance takes away from the Shunshin's total traveling distance.
Description: Although Shunshin is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the ninja can learn to limit their forward travel speed in exchange for a near-instantaneous sideways move. Useful when evading tricky attacks, or when wishing to confuse opponents.
Domain: Shunshin.
