”I believe you have some questions then, Niidaime Hokage.” Jiyuu grumbled, black paper wings fading. His stands had loosened, hinting at no more worry, but a relieved demeanor betrayed by the Shikigami’s slumped shoulders. His steel grey eyes shifted upwards to glance at the sky, mind travelling for but a moment as he recalled the many events that had occurred. From the Hungerer Cults rise to the civil war in Konoha. Ah, how Jiyuu had failed as a leader – so completely and utterly pathetic. But he could admit not of this to the former Hokage, the failure at least –of the events he had to tell-; Jiyuu’s shame was too great to admit that the current horrors within the walls of Konohagakure were due to his own neglect.

”Well then, rather than dabbling in needless introductions, I will tell you of our villages current state. A cult, lead by Xel’thaun, has made its way into the city. How? Likely that happened in the rift left between our leaderships when no wary eye watched over the village.” Jiyuu lied. The Hungerer’s cult, a damned gathering of wicked men flaying and murdering the citizen, began its reign of horror while Jiyuu was absent travelling the lands. A single samurai, Amon, attempted to stop them, but failed as no shinobi offered their aid. Damned cowards, the lot of them. The Shikigami, truthfully, had little room to criticize as none of the horrors would have occurred if he had not left the village.

”Their leader…little do we know of him. They plague the village, murder the innocent. Skin them, disembowel them, cut them apart. A rather wretched thing to see. That is not the only problem. Rebels have begun to rise, their blades and fingers ready to overthrow me. Their motivation is foolish – they are simply fools torn by war, at a loss after the village was destroyed so many years ago.” Jiyuu referenced that event to cast the light away from his own failures, somewhat.

Even if the village was utterly devastated seven years ago, it was not the Nindaime’s fault, and Jiyuu knew as much. Kouketsu, through some means, seemingly out of thin air, received a power most vast and dropped a meteor upon the village. Jiyuu fought valorously at the time, but little could he do. Now, this was different. He could lead, he could change. But both he had done most feebly.

Kohana spun fiercely yet again, but the male Hyuuga was rather foolish, downright overconfident, for while she was spinning, his thick fingers initiated the next series of hand seals without paying proper attention to the foe. He did not see the kunai coming until it was too late. It connected directly with his chest, a loud thump ringing out as the metal tip tore through his scapula, bone cracking under the intense force of the projectile. The spinning momentum allowed the kunai to be thrown with an incredible force.

Boom

The exploding tag erupted. Truthfully, a five meter explosion is far from fearsome, but this was different, as the tag was attached to the kunai stuck in the man’s chest. As the fierce eruption cause the building to rumble, it caused the male Hyuuga’s entire torso to splatter, deadly force sending his arms and head flinging into the distance. The arms flew against the right and left wall respectively, leaving a splatter of blood. The head crashed into the roof, skull cracking under the intense force. The Hyuuga was no more.

Kohana’s escape was successful.

_________________________________________________________

The wall was cut quickly by the mighty swordsman’s fierce blows, blade cutting through the walls with an intense force, tearing through the wood as if it were paper. With a kick, an even more intense force, that section of the wall did not simply fall to the grounds, but flew off several meters into the distance, tumbling onto the floors. The captured folks had no strength to resist his grab, they seemed to not only have lost faith in their safety, but hope for life as a whole, as revealed by their downtrodden gazes, slouched shoulders, and simply indifference towards the burning building.

But the escape was successful. As Amon rescued the two, the building burst into flames moments later, casting its bright gleam and heat into the surrounding streets. The two individuals which Amon rescued simply lied on the street, minds traumatized and hope completely and utterly lost. No word would return their hope for a new day. Their spirits had been shattered. Horribly.

The sun's sweet light fell onto the grounds, her beams basking the forest in a soothing warmth. Light winds blew, causing the leaves to rustle as they swayed from side to side. Several rocks and logs lied on the grounds spread at uneven intervals.

Starting Distance: 25 Meters
Area Size: 200 x 200 Meters



Jiyuu stood among the forest, two trees directly to his left and right, each ten meters away, thick enough to support his figure. Several logs surrounded him, none further than five meters away.

Both the fierce strike and the raven approached, but the male Hyuuga refused to waver. He stopped his path immediately upon noticing the movement of the two – with his near three hundred and sixty degree vision, both were within his line of sight . Following the stop, he spun and spun, dispersing both the ravens and deflecting the swordsman terrifying blow. While the blow was ineffective at damaging the Hyuuga, the pressure of the connection was mighty enough to break through the wall. The man fell into another room, ten meters long and wide, but with quick reaction he rolled upon falling to the ground, standing up not long after, abruptly bursting into seals. The hole in the wall, with a radius of five meters, was wide enough to allow Kohana to see him; the reverse was also true.

In but a half second his seals were complete, and upon stomping onto the ground, the entire grounds began to rumble akin to that of an earthquake. Movement and evasion would fall more difficult with this maneuver – and obviously the Hyuuga had a greater plan, for without a pause he continues with the next hand seals, fingers moving with a feline grace, taking only a single second. A dragon head, five meters, formed from the river which had not been dispersed entirely. The dragon short forth two projectiles of mud, three and a half meters long, moving at six meters per second. The first was shot directly at Kohana and the second in an arc to approach from above.

Earth Dominion; B
Chuusijin no Jutsu (Stomping Monkey’s Quake Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid [initial + upkeep]
Special: Range of earthquake depends on the user’s level of Earth Dominion. As long as anyone except the user is within range of the quake and standing atop the ground, they will automatically suffer serious balance and orientation disruption, resulting in a 50% loss of speed - effects aren't auto however, and can be evaded with clever RP. Quake lasts the entire turn, and can be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: As its name implies, this basic yet efficient technique results in the wielder forming a few simple handseals and then stomping and pounding the ground wildly, their limbs coated in a special chakra. As they pound away, the earthquake consumes the area, disrupting balance and speed. Very good for when faced with waves of opponents, or for taking down weakened edifices.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'C'.

Doryuudan (Earth Dragon Projectile)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Offensive / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Very Low - Very High
Special: Can only be used after 'Earth Flow Rivers'. Range of projectile travel distance depends on user's 'Earth Dominion'. Dragon head measures 5 meters in diameter and can fire off projectiles at the speed of their 'Earth Flow Rivers'. Highest rank known determines the amount of projectiles.

o D: 2 earth projectiles
o C: 4
o B: 6
o A: 8
o S: 10

Description: One of the strongest Doton jutsu, mainly for its power and spread, but also for its total lack of dependency of an earth source. After the ninja creates the river of mud before them out of thin air, a few handseals are performed, and a grand dragon's head emerges. The beast proceeds to quickly open its maw, shooting out sharp mud projectiles from its mouth towards anywhere its owner wills it, covering a wide area.
Domain: Doton. Must known 'Earth Flow Rivers'.

______________________________

Amon would surely be slowed with the raging earthquake, at least momentarily, but with the speed of the gates it truly made no difference as he would still be capable of running as fast as any man. As he was not the target of any attack, he succeeded in locating the victims – two survivors. The remainder were crushed by fallen wood or burned. The first was a young boy and the second a black haired woman.

Approved.

Medic
Efficient Sealing I

With enough time and practice, the ninja learns to master the art of Efficient Sealing - that is, requiring less hand seals for techniques. Because this Mastery level is multi-leveled, each one attained makes a jutsu hand count one rank less than it would be - i.e. 2 masteries of this in one Release, say Fire, means an 'A' ranked Fire jutsu has a 'C' ranked handseal count.

Technique drains a mid amount of chakra per turn while active.
Description: A medical Ninjutsu that will allow the user to fight even if the opponent is skilled in the use of poisons, toxins, or electricity that disallow movement. By sending a large amount of chakra into the effected area, the user simply controls their body by the chakra and not by the nervous system.

While active, the user is capable of causing massive cellular destruction of an area of one inch per second per rank of the technique.
Domain: Medical. Shosen of the same rank.
