The virulent, convoluted zephyr that I had beckoned forth had been thwarted by a superior wave of wind. With ease it swallowed up my attack, dissipating it upon initial contact. Though the wave itself failed to reach me as I stood 15 meters from its destructive ambit, catching only the brunt of its harmless aftermath which only caused my ivory mane to whip to the back of my scalp. Capitalizing upon his sucessful breakthrough, my opponent leapt forward, arcing as he began to hastily plummet, converging upon my position with gravity fueling his descent. In that descisive moment is when I decided to knead the properties of my fuuton chakra, clotting it within my right arm, readying to strick at a moments notice.

I had but one choice. Despite my confidence in power, I knew that every thing that I did had to be precise and accurate as possible had I wished to capitalize upon my opponents obvious route of attack. He was formidable indeed but his form was sloppy, lacking structure and practicality, but behind it I could see the power that could have tore me open like Hyena's drunk on venison. Unable to change the direction of his descent, my body was set in motion, doing well as I had set myself to move like the wind in a untraceable path the moment he fell within 5 meters of my personal space, unleashing instant murder upon my reappearance¹.

Curving 2 meters away from my opponents blindside^{180 curve} with pure physical strength, I leapt forward as my ninjato flicked forward like quicksilver, setting forth a maelstrom of slicing winds identical to the one before it in every-way² antecedent to my opponents landing.

Valorous steps guided me smoothly through the damp construct of rock and earth, It was cold, much like the primordial stages of winter, but it had been nothing that I could not bear. Stepping onto a unfamiliar land of pervasive rock, a corridor lead me to a large pocket of land^{(opposite entrance of Goh)}. From my myriad escapades as a Kirigakure shinobi, I had traveled to a great many of lands, from Hi no kuni, to Suna, and eventually Tsuchi. However, in-between all of my galvanizing trips I'd never once come across at opulent structure of rock such as the one I trekked within. The ivory 'cloud' of my mane fell deep from the depths of my crown as the passionate fires of my teal eyes spilled aimlessly from the slits of my mask like a wolf's through the sheets of night.

Hmm This place has a strange feeling to it, like....like I'm not alone.

Indeed -at the time- I had been experiencing some form of nervousness, but as much of a hinderance as that may have seemed, it actually worked well within my own favor. It kept my wits about me, allowing my sense to forever remain wide open, keeping a watching eye over my surroundings like a god would his own creations. Metameric bodies of rock laid upon upon the earthen floor, scattered and shattered aimlessly, possibly from the protrusions of earth that suspended aimlessly from the ceiling. The gait of my stroll quickly hastened without warning, bringing me to an opening towards the end of the corridor, and into this vast expanse of land that laid beneath me as I have come to a halt upon the edges of a cliff.

Despite being deviod of any botanic life, it was a marvelous sight nonetheless, but basking had to wait as my eyes fell upon another that stood before me, namely 25 meters, looking out upon the range over the respective cliff. I knew nothing of this man, other than the fact that a wolf dog accompanied him, the thought of him being a Inuzuka crossed my mind, however, I'd have been a fool to have quickly jumped to any conclusions, so I merely waited. My legs were set in motion, leaping softly from the cliff and down onto the expanse of land below, I landed without injury, absorbing the shock with a skillful crouch as I came to a perfect stand and began to walk roughly 5 meters forward.

"I'll just go ahead and assume you're looking for something in here as well, no?"

  My brain is old and feeble now, but I can still somewhat remember the garmenting wore. Yes, I wore a ebony, skin tight getup, it was the full-body version if I'm not mistaken. Yes, yes it was, I can remember the dark fabrics it bore, it glowed like it'd been woven from hairs of dark angels. It was quite loose now that I remember, had it not been for my devilish black forearm sleeves, it wouldn't have looked right at all. Of course there were holes cut into the sides, from what you say, well, my extra appendages of course. My 'cotton' scarf, draped around my neck was were no different, it too had shone with the limpid darkness that my suit had. I wore nothing else, for mobilities sake, extra clothing would have weighted me down, opposing my very approach on combat.
  
  Upon my perfected visage rested a -for the most part- bone white mask with a red triangular shape just over the area of my mouth. Upon the brow of the mask, held the the symbol to my loyalty,

  "Needless to say, I looked completely different back then than I do now, but to keep with my tale, we shall traverse back into my "younger" days as best I recall."
  
  

  To begin, an ivory mane fell deep into depths from my crown. It was silken, smooth, and almost velvety to touch, puffed up into a cloud of silvery brilliance. Back then, I was one to gamble my life away with women, and in doing so I needed made sure every significant detail of my portrait was perfect. Every morning after the normal hygiene process, delicately manifested hands went to work like construction workers, sliding the ebony comb through the sea of genetics over and over again, repeatedly, until it was absolutely perfect. By the time I'd finished, even my mother drooled at what her and my father had created and although she never spoke of it, her face portrayed her thoughts of whatever happened to my younger brother.
  
  As such, with creamy porcelain hair and the face of an Adonis to match, painted in a tanned porcelain coat, my countenance could only be completed with a body structure of equal stature. Despite how perfect I may sound, I was involved in a few skirmishes in my younger days. Bruises, cuts, and scars laced themselves all over my body, mostly around the torso area. While they were relatively small, the sheer number of them made them seem way worse than they actually were. There was one however, that would corrupt my figure forever, even to this day, and that is a large 'X' shaped scar on the left side of my cheek. Despite its "corruption", I still considered my face as pure as it could be, surrounded by an enlightening, courageous, enchanting aura that seemed to will in those around me.
  
  Quite popular in those days; star of the class, straight 'A' student, females all over me-- it seems quite odd that I've ended up living a life like this, existing in a world only a few can witness, and even less join.
  
  Yet even so, the embodiment of my soul is as pure as it could be (at least, in my eyes), and as innocent as my azure laced gaze, which stares out among the horizon in crystalline purity.

  “Your chances of success in any undertaking can always be measured by your belief in yourself.”
  
  

  One has to be confident in oneself to win at anything. To be defeatist, to believe you will lose, is to have already lost. In every hopeless situation there is that small probabilistic chance of success, find it -- or at the very least believe in it.

  
  
  
  “The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. stone crumbles. wood rots. people, well, they die. but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.”
  
  

  To keep your dream alive is to live it daily. In the beginning, most dreams appear to be impossible dreams, but once you engage the imagination, the will, and move forward with simple plans, you begin the journey towards actualizing your power in ways that you cannot presently even envision. The impossible slowly becomes possible. It does take courage and effort…but what could be more rewarding than moving in the direction of your fondest aspiration?
  
  Do not fret for the small bumps in the road to the actualization of your dream, Meliora -- better yourself ever more.

  
  
  
  “Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.”
  
  

  There is little room for the mediocre, for those of legend didn't get that way on being the average. The average find that training is their way to greatness, as if it is a singular simple function of greatness to be determined by hours spent slaving on some technique. However, this is not the case. The real knowledge in the application of a technique will far surpass it's simple completion -- a single well placed punch can mean the difference between winning and losing. So train hard, but do so with both mind and body, their is no fighting without deductive tactics. Do this right and the soul -- your soul, will find it's way.

  
  
  
  “A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone's feelings unintentionally.”
  
  

  Sugarcoating things is for those who believe that they will be frowned down upon for their thoughts and opinions. However, they are yours to think. Express yourself to the fullest, make known everything you wish to say. If someone feels bad because of anything you said, let them deal with it.

  Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)

• Shunpo-Tweh (Light Step Retreat)

My commander's words fell upon little more than heedful ears; I listened to each word that plummeted from her mouth carefully, beginning to untimely brood upon all possible resultants. My mind flit about and it realized that Ijitome's words bore no falsities, we could not afford to show mercy to anyone, even those who are innocent but somehow manages to obstruct the task at hand, it couldn't be tolerated.

Compulsive footfalls beat mother earths flesh into a muddy pulp as I masterfully trudged through a thin layer of constrictive mud. just about for the entire duration of time my eyes remained seemingly hidden behind closed lids, almost as if my mind faded to the world of dreams, but such had not been the case. My senses remained panoptic, my teammates footsteps, the calm, passing winds, even the insects that took refuge around the area, it all came to him.

"I suppose we can make introductions. You never know when I might need some more... help... on a mission. "My name is Kaguya Ijitome and I am sixteen... I enjoy being a shinobi, and I hate cowards and lechers.. One day I hope to kill a Hokage."

I caught sight of Ijitome's form as she walked backwards, and then over to Kanae as she spoke before I closed my eyes once more and merely listened.

“Kanae, that’s it…Kanae. I’m an Aquarius, and I enjoy long walks on the beach and candlelight dining. However, I’m not sexually attracted to females so you and I just wouldn’t work, love…”

A mirthful chuckle released itself from my mouth in response to Kanae's last statement. "Raoh Sasanagi. Age, 14. I became a shinobi simply to bring fame to the Sasanagi name. Though it may seem selfish its something my brother failed to do, so I've taken on that role."

I can't put my finger upon it right now but I remember something had vexed me, it threw me out of my mood for quite some time, causing me to act more seriously.

She cut through my web! I faltered not even an inch in reserve, even as the girl proved to be superior over the influence of my webs, it was impressive so I granted her credit for an accomplishment. Her arm augmented in all areas it seemed, size, power, girth, I couldn't fathom such a technique and quite frankly I dared not have tried for it would have granted me death in exchange for discovery. In a flash she launched a kunai, masterfully thrown it was, however, my counter proved superior. The kunai found itself relatively close to my face, but, I had just enough time to summon another cobweb flower. Given its properties the kunai latched onto the web itself, stuck for dear life and headed back towards Masumi twice the speed of a skillfully thrown projectile.

Not seconds behind I spun enough web from my five digits, enough so that it had allowed me to advance 2 yards, and not even a fraction of a second later had I thrown the ball of web that laid within the confines of its masters hand. It too traveled at the speed of a kunai, yet, it had a circular area of effect of 40 meters!
