HITENRYUU; 1575 EXP

MASTERY
Tier One – Kenpou Tenshin: Also known as Forward Turning, those who have mastered the Hitenryuu style to this degree have learned to further exploit their opponents via the simplistic Tenshin technique. With this mastery, the user performs their Tenshin with such speed and precision that they may immediately follow-up with the Rekkaken (Blazing Fist) technique.

Tier Two – Hiken: It is no secret that the Hitenryuu is widely reknowned for its Nintaijutsu arts, combining the Katon element with a slew of its techniques. However, there are several masters who have learned to ignite every technique in their arsenal with their fiery, blazing chakra. For an increment of one Mid worth of chakra, the user can engulf all of their Hitenryuu attacks in a fiery sheath that deals a moderate amount of extra burn damage (comparable to third degree burns).

Tier Three – Sentou Shouten: Regarded as the Pinnacle of Focus, this level of mastery represents the user’s dedication to their mind and body under the philosophy of, “The limitations you feel are all in your head; ignore them!” By pushing their body to its true limits, the user has learned to tap into the true potential of their Shouten Batsu, increasing the techniques capable of being absorbed to A-rank and by eliminating the restriction of using it while in their danger zone and the bonus critical damage that would be applied if they were to try. However, this does not eliminate the fact that the accumulative damage will still befall the user if they are hit by any form of an attack while using Shouten Batsu in their danger zone. Likewise, the duration of their danger zone will stack, increasing with each technique absorbed.

Tenshin (Turning)²⁵
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Rekkaken (Blazing Fist)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent two will as well.[/ul]

Rekkuyaku (Air Tearing Kick)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent two will as well.[/ul]

Shienkyaku (Kindling Blaze Kick)¹⁰⁰
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

[/b]: The user must possess the Katon Element in order to achieve the full effect of this technique. Otherwise, the user will simply perform a spiraling vertical kick. The flames from this kick are not fatal; however, they can deal a fairly great deal of additional damage (3rd degree burns) on victims.[/ul]

Rekkashinken (True Blazing Fists)¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High

[/b]: Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent four will.[/ul]

Shien Renkyaku (True Kindling Blaze Kick)¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High

[/u] consecutive hits. This much damage is, without a doubt, fatal to any who might fail victim to it.

Note: This technique requires the user to have the Katon element, otherwise this will simply function as a four-hit kick. Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent three will.[/ul]

Ryuu Yassai (Imperial Heavy Rotation)¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m0
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High

[/b]: This technique requires the user to have the Katon element; otherwise this will simply function as a three-hit combo. Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent three will.[/ul]

Shouten Batsu (Focus Attack)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low – Massive

[/b]: This attack can absorb the force or nature of any Taijutsu or Ninjutsu of B-rank and below, effectively neutralizing it and then immediately turning it (the sheer power) back on the opponent in a single strike. However, absorbing the force of these techniques comes with a risk. Each rank of a technique comes with its own “danger zone” duration, which is a point in time that should the user be struck by any form of an attack, they will suffer the full damage of the technique they previous absorbed on top of the strike in question.

[/b]: The duration of the user’s danger zone is one post after an attack has been absorbed.
C-rank Techniques: The duration of the user’s danger zone is two posts after an attack has been absorbed.
B-rank Techniques: The duration of the user’s danger zone is three posts after an attack has been absorbed.[/ul]
It should be noted that a user is incapable of using this technique while their danger zone is active. Attempting to do so while it is will result in the accumulated damage befalling the user at once, as well as dealing an additional critical level.[/ul]

Gekirinken (Imperial Wrath Fist)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/b]: This ability can only be used as a counter attack to Taijutsu-based techniques. Furthermore, it must be a viable counter (i.e you can’t use this on a sweeping kick). Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first attack connect, the subsequent ten will as well. Furthermore, the chakra cost only applies should the technique be successful (i.e attempting the opener does nothing).[/ul]

Rekkashingeki (True Flaming Strikes)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/b]: This technique requires the user to have the Katon element, otherwise this will simply function as a powerful twelve-hit combo. Like most techniques involving multiple strikes, should the first hit, the subsequent ten will.[/ul]

KINJUTSU; 1,200 EXP

Jiongu (Earth Grudge Fear)⁶⁰⁰
Rank: SS
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 10 to devour the heart
Chakra Consumption: High associated with devouring a heart; Mid per turn, per limb spent manipulating the threads in clusters

[/b]: This is essentially a procedure during which the ninja’s body is infused and organs are replaced with a countless number of black tendrils.

The user may select one of any compatible elements from any heart they devour. Hybrid elements, so long as the Jiongu user possesses the prerequisites for them, count as a single element. Any fatal damage or blood loss to the user of this technique will destroy the user’s natural heart. Any subsequent hearts will have to be destroyed directly, and are visible and stored in the particularly obvious-to-spot masks on the user’s back.

The user will completely die when all the hearts are destroyed. The user may have a total of five hearts (including their natural heart) within their body at a single time. Once the a heart is destroyed, the user loses the ability to manipulate the elemental chakra associated with that heart.[/ul]

Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: –
Chakra Consumption: Mid to cast and sustain per limb (in regards to extending one’s limbs; only the cast cost applies to reattaching limbs).

[/b]: This technique allows the user to manipulate up to three threads in order to reattach severed body parts (even those of their allies), or extend a limb up to a maximum distance of five meters away.[/ul]

Jiongu, Abata-Kan (Earth Grudge Fear, Sense of the Avatar)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Handseals: 1
Chakra: 2x High per Avatar.

[/b]: Each avatar will take one of the user’s four additional hearts in order to manifest, and thusly acquire the element of said heart (removing it from the user until the heart returns). These avatars are comprised of the majority of the user’s black tendrils, limiting their ability to manipulate the remaining threads in their body to Jiongu, Ito Kuro (Earth Grudge Fear, Black Thread) when two or more Avatars are simultaneously active. The Avatars cannot perform any jutsu the shinobi they acquired their hearts from, but instead, fire beams (roughly 1 meter wide) accurately up to ten meters away of the their respective element. Due to being formed from nothing more than these highly resilient black threads, the Avatar possess an incredible amount of strength and speed (comparable to the 3rd gate). The “heart” giving them life is located in their head, serving as the brain.[/ul][/blockquote][/font][/justify]

KEKKEI GENKAI; 825 EXP

Akuin (Corpsebone Rooting)²⁵
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low

Hone Tsume (Violent Claw)²⁵
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low to cast and sustain

[/b]: The bone claws may grow up to a maximum of twelve inches.[/ul]

Shikotsumyako (Dead Bone Pulse)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Range: -
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid (optional)

[/b]: This technique was created solely for the sake of limitations. While the Kaguya clan do possess stronger than natural bones, it is this technique that must be employed to allow them to withstand truly unnatural levels of force (such as sand burial). This technique can be employed at any time, presuming the user has the chakra to facilitate it. However, it should be noted that truly devastating abilities (things like Kirin) will still cause unparalleled damage to the user.[/ul]

Teshi Sendan (Ten Finger Drilling Bullets)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: The chakra cost applies to firing all ten bullets (one for each finger). However, even if a user decides to shoot only one bullet from a single finger, the cost does not lessen.[/ul]

Tsubaki no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)⁵⁰
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid

[/b]: The sword in question cannot exceed a claymore in size. Furthermore, it should be noted that despite being as hard and durable as steel, this bone is virtually weightless.[/ul]

Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willow)¹⁰⁰
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid to cast, Low to sustain

Karamatsu no Mai (Dance of the Larch)¹⁰⁰
Rank: B
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x Mid to cast, Mid to sustain

[/b]: This technique essentially allows the user to cover a very large portion of their body in foot long pikes of hard-as-steel bone. This not only allows the user to effectively defend themselves more easily, but attack as well (see image).[/ul]

Tessenka no Ma (Dance of the Clematis)¹⁵⁰
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: High (per half of the technique), Mid to sustain

[/b]: In order for the user to effectively use this technique, they will need to offer an increment of 2x High to in order to produce both the “vine” and “flower” aspect of the jutsu. By offering just a single High, they user will be able to choose which portion of the technique they wish to manifest; they can, at any time this technique is active, bring forth the other half (though it will still cost them the chakra requirement).

The moment that a user refuses to fuel the drain of this technique, the bone used to facilitate it will instantly shatter into harmless fragments.[/ul]

Sawaribi no Mai (Dance of the Seedling Fern)³⁰⁰
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Massive

[/b]: Unlike the series, this bone forest will be dramatically reduced in size. Rather than an entire expansion of rolling hills, this bone forest will expand up to a maximum of twenty-five meters in all directions (this means in height, as well). The ability to merge with this forest will only be viable for five posts following the forests creation. Furthermore, this ability takes a full post of preparation (in which no other jutsu may be cast).[/ul][/blockquote][/font][/justify]

PRIMARY WEAPONS;

Katana

[/u]
Rank: C
Type: Primary / Sword / Melee
Description: Commonly refereed to as a 'Samurai sword', the katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade up to three feet in length, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands. As such, it has become renowned for its sharpness and cutting ability.
Cost: 5,000 Ryo

Tanto
Rank: C
Type: Primary / Melee
Description: The Tanto is a single or double-edged straight knife no longer than fifteen inches. The tantō was designed primarily as a stabbing weapon, but the edge can be used for slashing as well.
Cost: 1,000 Ryo[/blockquote][/li][/ul]

SECONDARY WEAPONS;

[/b][/u]
Rank: D^{5 packs}
Type: Secondary / Melee + Ranged
Special: 2 per Pack.
Description: This throwing knife is one of the common weapons of a ninja. It is often kept in a holster on the leg in a pouch attached to the belt. What makes it so versatile and universal is the fact the Kunai can be used in conjunction with explosive tags and other weapons to form deadly combos out of simple, easily accessible items.
Cost: 100 Ryo per Pack

Exploding Note
Rank: D^{3 packs}
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: 10 per pack
Description: The exploding note is a piece of parchment paper infused with special chakra, layered over with a special script on it that serves to enable and facilitate its explosive properties. Its execution is simple - the ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log, and upon activation, the note is set and begins either a slow countdown burn, which eventually results in a large explosion, or the explosion in itself upon command.
Cost: 500 per Pack

Shuriken (Ninja Star)
Rank: D^{4 packs}
Type: Secondary / Ranged
Special: 5 per Pack.
Description: A shuriken, like kunai, is one of the more basic weapons employed by ninja of all classes. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, no more than a few inches long, and are extremely useful for throwing. Although small, they can be used to distract, or, if accurate enough, to kill. They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also a benefit in aerodynamics, as it ensures more accurate trajectories.
Cost: 100 Ryo per Pack.

Ninja Wire Strings
Rank: D^{4 packs}
Type: Secondary / Ranged
Special: 20 ft. of wire per pack.
Description: Wire Strings can be used for rappelling, manipulating weapons, or to tie down and restrict the movement of an opponent, sometimes even being able to slice through items when generating enough force to do so. They are a useful tool for a shinobi.
Cost: 100 Ryo per pack

Exploding Pouch
Rank: C^{1 pack}
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: 5 per pack
Description: A variation on the exploding note, these pouches contain a myriad of ball bearings and other metallic projectiles that, when detonated, spread forth even more
Cost: 500 per Pack

Kunai Spring
Rank: C
Type: Modification
Special: May hold only one kunai. Takes up two 'pack' slots. Kunai springs out twice as fast as a kunai travelling through the air, to be used as a melee weapon or for defence.
Description: This item allows the user to instantly extend and retract kunai from their sleeve using a spring-loaded wire.
Cost: 500 Ryo

Hikari (Light Bomb)
Rank: C^{2 packs}
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: 1 per pack
Description: Flash Bombs are supplementary explodables used mainly for diversions, creating a blinding light when they detonate that spreads quickly across a small area. Flash Bombs come in many shapes and sizes depending by region; some may look like small spheres wrapped in paper or, more conventionally, as cylindrical canisters.
Cost: 500 per Pack
[/ul][/blockquote]

ACCESSORIES;

[/b][/u]
Rank: C
Type: Accessory / Self
Special: Has a range up to 1000 yards.
Description: Similar to the communication's device in ease and effectiveness, the range finder can function both as binoculars and as a means to measure the distance to a target. snug and sleek, it fits across only one eye, and has a see-through lens that establishes visual information. With a durable carapace, it is designed to withstand water damage and even the pressure of extreme altitudes.
Cost: 3,000 Ryo per Tracker

Flak Jacket
Rank: B
Type: Universal Accessory / Extension / Self
Special: Allows the storage of 10 extra Packs. Only available to Chuunin & Jounin. Each jacket takes up one (1) accessory slot.
Description: The Flack Jacket is a stap above the Satchell, allowing for even more item space all across the user's upper body and torso. Excellent for easy access.
Cost: 50,000 Ryo.

World Recorder
Rank: A
Type: Universal Accessory / Self
Special: Allows the player to record unique locations, such as hidden villages, gates, special event areas, etc. with the use of their chakra. Locations are remembered until they are somehow changed (like hidden village gates, for example). Each recorder takes up one (1) accessory slot.
Description: Given the extreme topographical changes suffered by the world as a result of the Great War, things are no longer as they used to be. However, with the World Recorded equipped, the shinobi will never have to be worried about getting lost again!
Cost: 30,000 Ryo.[/blockquote][/ul][/justify][/font]

Kushinada, Namitsuki ^II

DOSSIER;

[style=float: right; width: 235px; height: 393px; background-image: url(http://i.imgur.com/UmKuf.png);][/style]
Name: Kushinada, Namitsuki ^II
Nicknames: Nami.
Titles: ---

Height: 5'7".
Weight: 140 lbs.
Blood Type: AB ⁺.
Martial Status: Single.

Age: 16.
D.O.B: October 5^th.
Nation: Mizu no Kuni.
Village: Kirigakure.

Clan: Kaguya.
Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyako.
Kekkei Toutai: ---
Profession: ---
Rank: Jounin.

[/i][/ul]
Tier: Advanced -- Hard.

[/b] Taijutsu.

[/b] Genjutsu | Ninjutsu[/ul][/ul]
Elemental Release(s): Katon.
Skillset Slots:

Family:

[/url] - Mother.
Kushinada, Namitsuki - Father.[/ul]

PSYCHE;

[/b] Having lived most of his life on the road, Nami is often times viewed as reserved and quiet, a result of a lack of much social interaction as a child. Sharing a similar demeanor as his mother, Nami flaunts a rough facade, preferring to appear strong and detached rather than look vulnerable and weak. His actual personality is a direct contrast to this, however. At his core he is like most teenagers his age: cordial, and very easily influenced - the latter of which often resulting in him creating unnecessary trouble for himself.

Mature: Growing up without a father, Nami had to assume the role of an adult very early into his childhood. While most children were out playing and learning the ways of being a shinobi, Nami was oftentimes out hunting and honing his skills by way of dousing himself in dangerous situations. His personality was shaped and molded through this, leaving him to seem several years older than he actually is. Suffice to say, however, he is still capable of being a child; crude and inappropriate jokes and all.

Tactician: Above everything else, Nami is extremely gifted at organizing and executing attacks when it comes to fighting. Though his skill set is mostly all Taijutsu, having spent so much time out in the woods hunting, Nami has developed an extreme knack for setting up traps - having hoped that such a prowess would cover for his weaknesses when it came to Ninjutsu. He views all kinds of combat as a game of chess: plotting and setting up his pieces for the eventual - and inevitable - checkmate. [/blockquote][/ul]
APPEARANCE;

[/b] Nami's appearance is that of a typical teenage youth. He stands at roughly five foot seven and weighs just about one hundred and forty pounds; a normal size of a kid his age but one that directly contrasts his father's extreme build. His body is fine tuned and primed for someone who's expertise is in Taijutsu, and though it lacks the formidable strength and size of most of his fellow shinobi in the art, he more than makes up for it in speed and agility.

Furthermore, despite hailing from a clan known for it's pale complexions, Nami's skin is rather dark, almost a light milk-chocolate color. His hair, which he sports short and almost somewhat spikey, is a mix between blonde and alabaster - a combined color between both of his parents. More often then not however, he resembles his mother more than his father.

Apparel: Typically, Nami's attire is usually the same regardless of whether on a mission or not. He prefers to don a dark outfit, more often than not consisting of an overlong shirt with a hood and a pair of black slacks to match. Wrapped around his upper-torso is a white flak jacket of sorts, capable of storing small projectile weapons and exploding tags. It does not provide much cushion for absorbing attacks, but allows for easy and quick access to weapons.

Around his arms and legs are red bandage guards, moreso for fashion than for protection. Situated upon his back is a simple katana, its colors doing well to match his outfit. Aside from that, Nami wears the typical Kirigakure hitai ate upon his forehead, and instead of sandals prefers almost sneaker-like footwear.[/blockquote][/ul]

I counted 1875 in total for all the techniques. Since you are planning on just allocating whatever EXP that is left for your sidebar, I'll just add 1885 to your sidebar instead of the 2185.

Approved.

I felt my hand make contact. I felt all my pent up anger explode through my hand. Above all else? I felt the splatter of blood smearing across my face. I knew, then, that I was victorious. Blanche was dead, I was sure of it, as was the child she nursed within her womb. Her voice would never admonish me again.

"That is enough, Nagato."

The grip on my wrist was felt immediately, ceasing my body's momentum as it vacuumed my chakra. With it my eyes caught onto Kouketsu's form, locked in a perpetual gaze whilst his Rinnegan bore it's intensity down on me. It forced whatever lingering schizophrenic thoughts away, his words falling on intent - and for the first time - coherent ears.

I was stuck, frozen in place. I did not speak, nor offered any recognition that his words had reached me. No-- instead I pulled myself away, forcing my wrist out of his hand and pushing myself from his hold. Though the movement was strong, my body lacked the strength and intensity it once had. My eyes, too, relented; softening, yet still retaining their crimson ferocity. I had not even realized my right eye had shifted to it's Mangekyou state.

It meant nothing, though - for what I did next was unprecedented, even for a psychotic episode. Eyes still locked, my legs buckled and crumbled under my weight. They fell in that same motion, forcing me to my knees directly before Kouketsu. My head leaned back then, the gaze between my brother and I as I waged a civil war within my psyche, unbroken.

"My resolve has never been as strong as yours, Kouketsu." Like my eyes, my voice was soft despite my menacing contorted countenance. "You see me as a fool for wanting whats best for the world, I see myself as nothing but a deterrent to that. I refuse to let more people die because of just my name," I shot a glance towards Blanche. "or by my own tainted hands."

Without even controlling my body I extended my arms out, side-to-side, as if in surrender. I could not fathom how this would all appear to Beppin, but I was sure - as intelligent as she was - that she would know what it meant.

"My mind is my most dangerous enemy. I will die before I let it manipulate me into taking the life of another person that I love. Do it, Kouketsu." Through this I remained empty, almost void of life. It took everything I had to fight away my inner thoughts.

"This will be the only thing I will ever ask of you, brother."

Her words... they meant nothing to me.

I had already made the decision within my mind to shut out the part of my consciousness that controlled my ability to access feeling -- that part of me that made me human. I was left an empty shell of my former self; my body primed for attack, my mind dark and empty. Those voices that I had once locked away were freed within my psyche; they instructed me to attack, taunted me for being weak -- ridiculed me for not having the guts to do what needed to be done.

Above all they altered my already fractured hold on reality. Kouketsu was no longer Kouketsu; the man that I had once considered a brother stood before me as nothing but a shroud of darkness - pure evil that needed to be eradicated. Blanche wasn't much different. She was just a roadblock in my goal, no longer my friend, no longer even a person. I warned her, had I not? She knew what I was capable of, yet dared not to move. Was she taunting me too? Was this her way of telling me I was weak?

"Stop this, Sora."

I couldn't take it anymore. I let go; no more fighting it, no more sitting by idly as they mocked my very existence. I succumbed to their onslaught, crumbled against their strength after several years of fighting. They wanted them dead, so I would give them just that.

With not another word uttered my body lunged forward, any form of restraint burned away as my tenketsu points erupted with energy, and my body leaked chakra from every inch of my body. My hand was the benefactor of such unprecedented amounts of raw energy, it's entire base instantly converting into pure lightning as my affinity towards raiton manifested from my pores.

It was through such an unparalleled prowess and extreme ability that this was done almost as simultaneously as my body's initial movement. Then, even with a large enough space separting Blanche and I that would have taken several moments to cross, I bridged that distance just as instantaneously. Hiraishin -- something that I had only fathomed would be used to help Blanche, was now being used to end her life.

A flash of bright blue - equivalent to that of a flash of lightning - would be the only thing she saw as I appeared before her, my right hand filled with enough force and power to eliminate her existence without any feeling of pain. I hadn't even heard her last words, just the distorted chine of her voice. I threw my arm forward at it's source, seeking to end it.

No more. I wanted to hear her voice no more.

Your EXP count is off by a little. Here's where I found some problems: Kage Hebi has in total 1625 EXP and not 1675 as you counted. Furthermore, Universal has about 275 instead of the 370 you stated.

"Sora, please, dont' do this! Please, think of your family -- leave Kouketsu be! Please think of me! What am I to do should I lose you, Sora? Please, I beg you. . . don't do this!"

Every inch of my body fought Beppin's touch; fought that very ability that only she had to calm me. Her grasp, her fingers lightly entwining on each side of my face, her cool breath on my flesh -- it made it all the more difficult. Even as her face neared mine and her eyes sought to connect with my own, my attention was never diverted from Kouketsu.

Anger - pure anger - that had slowly built up over the years had reached its boiling point. I did not flinch or even react to his sheer display of power for I had grown accustomed to it, even the pull and raw devilish nature of his Rinnegan; the very thing that I could almost see already blossoming in the child being nurtured within Blanche's womb.

"I'm sorry, love." I muttered, covering her hands that were embracing my countenance with my own. My head inched forward if only slightly allowing me to press my lips to hers. It was brief, and before she would even be able to register what was happening I would have already brushed past her to stand face-to-face with Blanche.

"This is bigger than just your child, Blanche." I spoke, my eyes - stern and unnerving - narrowing on Blanche's arm. "There comes a time where every person has to pay for what they've done in the past. The blood of thousands will never wash from our hands, so the only thing left to do is to make certain such destruction and pain never happens again."

With a simple tug the remnants of my burned upper attire were discarded from my body before being casually tossed to the side. "Now I will only tell you this once--" No more talking. No more delaying the inevitable. "Move out of the way and leave us be. If you choose not to--"

My finger ascended into the air and pointed directly at Blanche. I was no longer the person that had once cared so deeply for her-- that once would've risked my life for hers. This person right here? This is who I truly was at my core; a monster.

"I will kill both of you."

And I wasn't referring to Kouketsu.

This new found disgust that I felt-- this anger, I did not know where it was coming from. There was a part of me - a very small part - that wanted to believe Kouketsu's words, but I just couldn't. And Blanche-- I could not bare to look at her. I did not even bother to hide the contempt from appearing upon my face, either; there was just something about seeing both of them, side by side, that infuriated me.

"Family?" I let out a distinct scoff. "After all you've done - what we've done - you just want live the rest of your life in peace? Why don't I believe that, Kouketsu?" My grip on the hidden knife tightened and it was pressed harder against my flesh, slightly drawing blood. Still, despite this I remained in control for the most part-- which, truthfully, is what made what I was about to say so.... outlandish and ironic.

"And you," My eyes moved to Blanche. "How do you feel knowing that you will wake up each morning and look into the eyes of the man responsible for killing thousands on a mere whim? To nurture a child that will inherit more than just his looks." This, despite being clearly about Kouketsu, was also directed at Beppin. She deserved better, too; monsters like us did not deserve to have what we've got.

"All these years I have been looking for a means to repent for my sins...." I stepped forward off the table, standing directly infront of Beppin much like Kouketsu was doing to Blanche. "For a way to make everything right. Until now I did not know what that was." Another step. This, however, was marked with the sudden movement of my arm shooting forward. With it the knife in my hand was fired into the ground directly before both of them-- with enough force and strength to cut deep into the ground.

"I'm ready to die for my sins, Kouketsu. Are you?!"

My eyes burned crimson with intensity. My veins bulged with adrenaline. Was this really what it was going to come down to?
