Mission.

☆ Name: Enguard
Rank: C
Repeatable: Once per PC
Description: A local businessman and craftsman is attempting to promote his excellent craftsmanship. In a show of good sportsmanship, a rival craftsman shop has been issued a challenge. A friendly spar between two contestants to see whom's weaponry and creation was the best. Our client has reason to believe that they will be fighting dirty, as they have hired a rather dangerous individual to participate as their sponsor. Take on the competition as the client's sponsor, using a special katana, crafted to be unbreakable.
Obective: Fight as our client's representative and prove his craftsmanship is best.
Reward: 200 EXP and 1,000 Ryo plus a C rank Katana. (While supplies last)

Heavenly Gate [ C rank Mission ]

Reward: 200 exp. 1000 ryo. C - Katana.
( The random encounter experience should be added later by Naitome I think. )

Naota was startled by the image before him. The two samurai, sliced, through his most powerful technique. It was like the tech was never used as it was completely disrupted. An old feeling washed over him, fear. The probability of dying on this simple mission was all too clear to him now.

His sharingan, locked onto the eyes of the two samurai. The three symmetrical tomoe, broke their order, and began to mimic a pinwheel. The suggestive lines of chakra, danced directly into their line of sight. A simple look within Naota's eyes would lock the fate of all within his eye line.

It didn't matter which of them looked him directly in the eyes or if both of them did. A strong paralysis, would over take their entire body. This would allow Naota to move around to the location of the stunned individual(s). And throw his Kunai directly at their heads sealing the deal piercing their skulls.

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.

kekkei genkai;

Sharingan [San]¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: x2 Mid to cast, low to sustain.
Special: Considered to be a fully matured Sharingan eye, this is, for many, the final stage that their Sharingan is able to access. This stage of the eye allows the user to pierce all a-ranked genjutsu and below, and predict and comprehend all taijutsu of a-rank and below, as well. Likewise, at this stage, the Sharingan can roughly (just barely) keep track of movements x5 the speed of your average shinobi. Keep in mind that regardless of foresight and prediction, in order to avoid incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed, agility and RP ability will ultimately control whether they can move to avoid it.
Description: The final normal evolution to Sharingan, the third tomoe fits symmetrically with the rest by creating a perfect triangular existence around the pupil. An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attacker’s next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body, in the form of a quickly processed mental premonition. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there. Best of all, three tomoe also grants the Uchiha the ability to cast unique genjutsu and incur deep hypnosis after locking eyes with an enemy. This can be used to cause their opponent to do an attack of the Uchiha's choosing, or simply to force them to endure endless torture.
Domain: Uchiha.

Shisu (Hypnosis)
Rank: A
Type: Doujutsu.
Range: Eyesight
Chakra: High.
Special: Sleep, suggestion, paralysis, and memory recall last up to 1 turn, plus 1 more each time this jutsu is retrained. However, after every second retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Cannot force a user to do something completely against their will, like taking their own life or that of a dear comrade, unless they have previous intent to do so.
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. The hypnotic ability coupled with the other aspects of the Sharingan, can make the user appear as if they can "see the future". 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.

GET OVER HERE YOU LAZY ASS LEAF NINJA!!!!

Seriously, things are gonna change within Konohagakure. I know you guys wanna do something but just become extremely lazy at the last moment.

Leaf has the largest amount of procrastinators -- out of all the hidden villages.

And I know it is the holiday season -- but come on it wasn't like you guys were super active before. Time for these leaf characters to do their village proud in our upcoming event!

-- Your Soon to be Hokage Fellow Leaf Ninja.

The sharingan^{kekkei genkai} - allows minor premonitions, which thanks to the dim lit arena would pack the needed power to defeat both opponents. Naota -- watched carefully, analyzing every single movement of his opponents. Three different possibilities showed themselves. The opponent moving to the left, right, and then forward. Each one was strong -- with a thin bluish presence, but the center one stayed much longer then the rest in possibilities.

Tasuku had been the first to move, darting forward to quickly breach distance between himself and the boy.

As Tasuku moved five meters, using an explosive burst of chakra^ninjutsu -- to devour ten meters. Now that the distance between them was closed so abruptly. Naota would send a downward facing kick at full power trying to trip up the hopefully still in motion samurai. That kick would be followed up if successful with a singular stab motion, trying to penetrate Tasuku's head.

The movement was aided by Naota being in his physical prime^masteries thanks to years of training. Any conceivable counterattack that Tasuku could demonstrate was already filed into his memory banks. And Takuma wasn't forgotten at all. The speed of these movements would no doubt rouse him into the appropriate action. The sharingan made sure to keep both closely within it's vision. All possible movements were being mapped out for counterattack.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -

Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.

Without another word -- Naota entered into the workshop of Ryoko. It was smaller then someone would have originally thought ( the workspace ). A cauldron -- charred from wear from years of use, sat directly to Naota's left hand side. It was pouring out a peculiar smell -- like melted metals from many different types of materials over the years. It was like a content place, that they finally slumbered, forever melted to the cauldron.

And towards the right side, was a beautiful craft station, with all types of clasps and pliers. It was like weaponry heaven for a takumi, but not for Naota. He admired the creations, but felt this was a job he could never attain, no matter how hard he tried. His daze was broken when his idol told him something. Everything didn't click into place as he, turned around, and, looked directly at Ryoko. Did he just say pick up any weapon that Naota wanted? That was like telling a child in a candy store choose whatever that child wanted.

Immediately -- his gaze landed upon "it" the weapon he nearly had an orgasm outside of the shop seeing. The most beautifully symmetrical weapon ever created in existence. TAKAGAMAHARA , but it was too much for him to take in at once. His feet, no longer connected to the rest of him, glided over to it. The vision within his eyes ,watching, waiting, anticipating the up close look of the black metal. His fingers ,aches, as well wanting to know what sort of weight and feel it would have.

Naota was a takumi at heart, but no one would ever be able to tell him that to his face, since he would just wave it off as foolish. But now it was finally within his grasp the uber weapon that he couldn't lose withTakagamahara, and it felt good. "A-are you s-sure Ryoko-San. I-I can take the kuro beauty the heavenly gate." When Ryoko called to him sternly saying to grab the sword so they could go, an ecstatic Naota sheathed it, before slinging the weapon, behind his back.

This was truly his version of heaven, walking out the door, with Ryoko - San.

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)¹⁰
Rank: E^{two retrains}
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects that range from equal in size to as small as half their size. Cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log) the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu

Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance that, although easily seen through by those with doujutsu, can fool the normal eye easily. Why? Simply because although without substance, the copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent, though no real damage can be done by it. Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.

It also teaches the ninja how to run up trees and walk on vertical walls. The training helps the ninja learn how to focus just the right amount of chakra to a particular part of their body. The amount needed to climb is small but it must be precise. The feet are regarded as the hardest location to master chakra focusing. So by gaining the art of this skill, the ninja will have any jutsu available (theoretically) because they will be able to focus their chakra as needed.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

Suimen Hokou no Waza (Act of Water Surface Walking)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low to cast, free to sustain.

Yawn -- it was another mission that just had to be dutifully fulfilled. And of course, Naota's services were needed with this "peculiar" task. A local merchant, had informed the Hokage, that there would be a -- blacksmith competition later on at this date. There was fear -- that the local competition would try something foul to win this year. So, within the letter sent to her, he pleaded -- no begged her to do something about it.

One thing lead to another, and ta-da, Naota was the chosen shinobi for this mission. It surely had nothing to do with his recent mastering of his sharingan's final phase. But then again, none of that matter at the moment. The only thing that mattered was the competition of the mission, and saving a blacksmith from embarrassment. Today was a day for saving someone else's future.

The brilliant red radiance -- of the sun, showered down upon this beautiful morning. Only a handful of clouds, dared to intercept the sun's rays, giving a shade, to the buildings in the marketing district of konohagakure. The shade, did nothing to damper the shining banquet of items sold from each shop. Everything from a brand new kunai, to old earrings, shined like the most amazing pieces of rare gems. That was the allure of konohagakure, its minerals was so grand, that people could mine for what they needed whenever they wanted, with no adverse effects.

And walking, slowly, through this section, many little trinkets -- caught Naota's gaze. A new set of bangles for his arms, a z-okashi radio, and even some stylish new jeans with, red, orange, and yellow patches. Shopping -- a strong impulse, indeed. But, he was a powerful shinobi, with unlimited will power that could be shaken by nothing. That is to say, nothing he wanted since what he needed made him stop, frozen, in the crowded streets.

It was . . . TAKAGAMAHARA -- the most powerful and hinted to be unbreakable katana. It was a pure black almost adamantium-ish type metal, which was hanging onto a completely black hilt, handle, and small little tassel at the end. A droplet of water, cascaded, down Naota's face in awe. This was all because the blacksmith he was sent to help was none other then T. Kuitobo. The legendary retired samurai, said to hail originally from the moon country.

With a childish glee, Naota quickly shuffled over towards the shop door. It took , every single bit of his being to not kick down the door. Calming down, slightly, three rapid knocks were placed upon the door. The anticipation was building waaay too high for him. Hopefully, he could get that sword -- takagamahara.
