[STYLE=margin: 20px 65px 15px 65px; text-align: justify;font-family: arial;font-size: 10px;]In equal parts merciless and unforgiving, the land of Kaminari no Kuni is one replete with tales of adversity and misfortune; undoubtedly earning every shred of the grim repute expressed among its neighboring shinobi nations. There isn't much to be found inside its craggy depths, with the small communites and settlements you may find in a more calm environment unable to survive beneath the constant storms and massive clouds all but completely impeding sunlight. Even ninja born among these steep masses end up lost in the labyrinthian expanse of stone and valley; death itself was all too common, especially if foreign to the land.

It proved the Kusa-nin's competence, if anything; the abnormal feat of arriving in Kumogakure, regardless of a directive aid, was remarkable – not far from unheard of, as a shinobi alien to its unpitying ways. If not otherwise, accompanying my own lead put him, as well as the Genin, wholly out of harms way. One of the thousands of conveniences afforded by my eyes, I was capable of viewing the rock-strewn, severely angled expanses far before we were near, as well hidden shortcuts and dead-ends that proved unpredictable to the average ninja.

Years passed before I was able to intricately understand the environment of Kaminari in the way I did now, but alas, in the present I knew the area better than almost anyone besides the most experienced Cloud shinobi, or otherwise those bearing the same refined perception as I.

Allowing my expertise of the region to speak for itself, a brief motioning of my spry fingers and the flick of my wrist, a signal, forewent the streamlined morph of my pacing from a brisk walk to dead-sprint, hastening outward from the established trail existing as the most traveled path into and out of the village. We were headed west; while I wasn't sure of Kusagakure's exact location, from my own studies of our world's geography as a whole I knew it lie somewhere far to the west, beyond several countries and changes in climate. Considering this, the most effiecient route to Kaminari's west-most exit, as well the western sect of our world, had before long manifested within my mind, mental imagery of past excursions flashing as our trio dashed.

In not much time at all it would appear as if our current itenerary had reached its end, leading into a cliff dropping atleast a kilometer below. I slowed as we neared the edge, its backdrop crammed with a seemingly endless amount of hurtling slopes and frost-blanketed peaks, while directly below existed a craggy expanse gradually flattening and aiming downward at a ninety degree angle. It was our destination, as the opposite bound of the incline led into a rather constricting, yet lengthy and safe valley sided by imposing, near-perpendicular mounts.

The obscured and difficult-to-reach yet accommodating trail, one among an infinite amount within the immense country, would take us far into the jagged constructs we currently saw from afar, if they dared to heed my instructions in descaling the mortal drop-off. The forming of a mischievous grin as I turned to face the two would confirm what I'm sure they by now had guessed. "Don't be too long," I laughed, gripping the rough edge and dropping below.

[STYLE=margin: 15px 90px 15px 90px; text-align: justify;font-family: arial;font-size: 10px;]The wretched cries of those departed continued to resonate within my mind. I was no stranger to death – its causes, effects, consequences – but this was heartbreaking. Viewing the remains of structures I beheld every day before, the occasional mutilated corpse bearing a face I found familiar, even the thoughts and afterimages of the ill-fated incident, the cursed, hellish night that had seen an entire sector of my home destroyed, innocents murdered, and even worse, our leader, Eiichiro Munashi, assassinated. The idea was still unbearable, my only true bond within the village… gone, forever.

The morning following the news, following my own failed defense, was the most mournful and depressing I could ever recall. A gloom surrounded the Hidden Cloud's once-brilliant environment; our streets were no longer buzzing with heartening faces and optimistic chatter, but instead somber utterances and downcast expressions. As much as I too wanted to relieve my sorrows in lament, I couldn't join them today, it was crucial that my assignment took precedence, though I fought back tears nonetheless.

There still existed obligations and responsibilities that had to be upheld, and with the greater part of the village descending into a kage-less, sorrow and loath-filled chaos, the burdens of being a shinobi weighed on my shoulders now more than ever before. It was a weight that couldn't be escaped, and not one to fight a hopeless battle, I pondered my current task. It was rather special, a joint assignment organized by the village's high council, and my liege himself. They were the very last orders given to me by the Raikage – a prearranged project, to watch over a new-found Kumo-nin, one that had absconded from his home similar to myself, on a trip to the abode of our distant allies, Kusagakure.

In lieu of the package he'd be delivering, I came as the bearer of tragic news, among other things, which could only be discussed with the Lady Kusakage herself. Striding gently through the decimated land before the entrance, only a scarce amount of time separated me from the mission's commence. I released my tension and any suppressed emotion with a breathing technique afforded long ago by my Hyūga lineage, sequentially gracing past the ravished village gates and toward my subordinate.

In the muted morning light, my slight frame would be perceived first wearing a dark, hooded coat [o], its unseen underside occupied by a flowing tunic matching in color, along with black, tight-fitting pants and tabi's [o]. Lining my right hand was what appeared to be a mundane glove, the shadowy metals varnishing it only visible from close, while the sheathe of my chokuto could be seen along my hip, and the rest of my tools, as always, lay concealed on my person. I loosened the fastening of the horned, white mask [o], which was situated in a reversed manner, resting on my hood as I approached.

My words were akin to silk when voiced, flowing seamlessly from my mouth with an eloquence both friendly and somewhat formal.

Type: Offensive
Handseals: 8
Chakra Consumption: x2 High

The user forms the hand seals, creating a loud burst of sound such as a scream or a detonation. The user's chakra uses that sound as a medium, creating a massive sound-wave that radiates out from the user, so powerful that it creates visual distortion within its range.

Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name.

The second variation of Chidori involves a similar extension of the original charge, but this time, in a more concentrated, linear fashion. On a whim the user is able to shape their Raiton Chakra to form an extending spear of pure lightning, aiming to pierce whatever it is they are aiming at. The best part? This spear takes on Chidori's characteristics, including it's ability to cut through anything which stands in its path, allowing the lightning sword to strike its target with ease. Finally, this variation is similar to Chidori Nagashi in that it causes the target to go numb from the excessive electrical charge.

Chidori Senbon (Thousand Birds Needles)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)

Type: Defensive; Supplementary
Handseals: 6
Chakra Consumption: High to cast, mid to sustain

As they glow, all forms of conductors will make victim’s more susceptible to damage, and any taijutsu upon the armor will leave the user’s appendages feeling paralyzed. Excellent when outnumbered, or simply facing an opponent that favors taijutsu.

Note: Under the effects of Raiton no Yoroi the user has an increased speed as well as strength made even stronger by the piercing capabilities of the lightning itself surrounding the user.

» PSEUDO-RELIC;

[/color][/url]
Rank: S
Type: Primary / Melee
Special: While dormant, the razor-sharp, prickly metals lining the knuckles, fingertips, and palm act to stack C-ranked damage onto any physical strike made by the right hand. In need of repair if directly struck by one S-ranked technique. While capable of harnessing nearly any release, it is simply a medium, restricted by its wielder's specific releases. See below for more!

• Due to its nature, the expending of a single 'High' amount of chakra ('Mid' Upkeep) will raise the weapon from its dormant state, then acting as a medium for most types of chakra (no Kekkai Touta), harnessing them, in turn stacking B-ranked elemental damage (lightning, sound vibration, etc.) onto any physical strike made by the right hand (applies to swords as well).
  
  
• As a catalyst and extreme impetus for chakra, feeding the gauntlet a single 'High' amount ('Mid' Upkeep) will give it a push, supplying the weapon with energy, and consequently unleashing its full potential. Depending upon the user's own releases, the gauntlet carries the ability to increase their offensive power by one tier (A-rank max.), and increase range by five meters.
  
  
• Following a 'High' consumption ('Mid' Upkeep), a wide, blade-like beam of pure chakra is capable of being extended out from the gauntlet's four fingertips when elongated (i.e. knife hand/ karate chop form), its maximum length measuring two meters in total, with a speed of two meters per second. The beam is easily capable of piercing through steel and most armors (non-relic).

[/li][/ul]
Description: Appearing to be the combination of both a gauntlet and sap glove, the black material primarily composing this arcane weapon is unknown, though has proven to be extremely responsive when exposed to chakra, and appears/feels to be both durable and flexible. While the specific type is unknown, it is obvious that some kind of metal, its color ranging from deep black to dark grey, lines the palm area, each individual fingertip, and knuckle region in a jagged, barbed like fashion, these spiked, prickly metals protuding anywhere from a quarter inch to half inch in length, while extremely thin in width. It bears several odd markings, though the most prominent and identifiable being a Jashinistic symbol located on its the front. Fitting tightly along the hand's contours, it would seem to be an ordinary black glove from afar, giving it the power of subtlety.
Cost: Obtained via quest. Can't be sold.[/justify][/font]

[visage] — The sovereign Hyūga is defined by his calm, impassive mannerisms, and highborn, noble, yet empyrean, ethereal allure. Possessing a lucid attractiveness, his facial features are often construed as being faerie-like, even immaculate; composed of a sharp, angular jaw-line, high, elegant cheekbones, a narrow, slightly aquiline nose, and pinned, rather elf-like ears. His complexion is very fair; pale with tight, smooth, alabaster-esque skin. A significant, albeit abstract element of Haru's physicality is the celestial, otherworldy aura he emanates, which, in the past, has had the power to leave those new to his presence chilled, even intimidated; his divine white eyes, entrancing, spectral appearence, and noble disposition all work to complement and enhance this overwhelming, atmospheric quality.

[anatomy] — Haru's lengthy, pale-blond [x] hair is fairly dense, while still soft to the touch. It's usually worn in a simple, loose ponytail, infrequently let down, that can occasionally be seen braided in the same loose fashion, with a few keen tresses of hair falling to frame his face on either side; his thin, sharp eyebrows are composed of a darker tinge of this same pale-blond. The epitome of nimbleness and dexterity, Haru is built for speed and swiftness, maintaining a very slender, lean figure in an attempt to stay as light-weight and agile as possible. While other taijutsu users require strength, Gentle Fist assaults involve mere finger taps, rendering extra weight and muscle useless. Furthering his slim physique, the Chūnin stands rather tall for his age; at 5'8", his stature usually scales an inch or two above other fourteen year-olds.

[apparel¹] — Individualizing himself from his peers, beyond anatomy, would be the youth's unique wardrobe. Fundamentally comprising his everyday wear, he has an affection for free-flowing tops, close-fitting, slender bottoms, and narrow, light-weight shoes, and is thusly fond of/known for wearing several seperate, signature articles of clothing. Commonly, any of four black coats, one being his most worn and battle-ready [x], the others primarily for casual wear, varying from long and hooded [x], to fur [x], to even a poncho-like top [x]; beneath these are usually a flowing tunic matching in shade [x], or a white, collared long-sleeve garment opening slightly at his chest, while below he'll adorn skinny, black pants and a pair of foot-contouring tabi's [x], black, ankle cut, or mid-shin strapping nin-sandals, or slip-ons [x] [x].

[apparel²] — Next is the dashing Cloud-nin's attire of formality; when attending a distinguished event, ceremony, funeral, etc., he's keen on dressing in a tradional, black silk kimono, bearing the Hyūga and Suzaku symbols on the left and right of its chest, Iryō and Jōhō on its left and right shoulders, and the Kumo symbol on its back [x]. If relaxation is his main goal, he'll adorn either a set of white Hyūga robes [x], or dark yukata. If none of the above, he may simply decide on wearing an ordinary long-sleeve tee, coupled with gray, thick cotton leggings, or short-sleeve tee and a pair of khaki or white shorts stopping slightly above his knees – the footwear accompanying either outfit will vary between ankle-cut or mid-shin strapped nin-sandals, geta [x], zori [x], slip-ons [x] [x] [x], or loafers ranging in color from tan to black [x] [x].

[accessories] — In terms of accessories, the youth will periodically wear a pair of shark tooth drop-earrings [x], however can always be spotted wearing a steel ring with the kanji for 宗家 (Soke, Main House) emblazoned in black, along with nails painted in this same black. He keeps a smaller, dark-clothed version of the Kumo hitai-ate fastened around his left upper-arm, usually hidden behind his coat, though at times will wear a miniature version of this on his wrist as a bracelet. He is commonly seen with a chokūto sheathed at his hip, while carrying the rest of his tools in a small pack located a few inches behind the side of his waste, and two kakkō hidden underneath the sleaves of either forearm. In addition, Haru can occasionally be spotted wearing grey contacts; primarily if going incognito or attempting to conceal his KG.

[combative] — If leaving for a mission, the Kumo-nin dons an outfit much more strategic and combat-oriented than regular attire, all-black jedaigeki robes [x]. From the bottom up, his ensemble begins with tight, foot-contouring, black ninja tabi boots [x], along with which he'll wear a pair of skinny, black pants. Accompanying this, his top will first consist of a black, long-sleeve undertunic, followed by a black or grey overtunic, and hooded black cloak. Both forearms are shielded by black, lightweight leather bracers stopping halfway toward his elbows. The precautious Genin's ankles and wrists are lightly taped to provide additional support, while his tools, weapons, and hitai-ate are all located in their usual spots. Lastly, a horned, white mask [x] is worn over his face, allowing for the concealment of his treasured eyes in battle.


[inexpressive] — The infokumo is seen as a peacefully calm, elegantly collected, finely composed individual; exhibiting an emotionless, nonchalant disposition near always. Although appearing natural, the harmonious component of his impassive demeanor truthfully isn't, acting as more of a facade than anything else; seeing that, although his expression and body language both emanate tranquility, his mind could quite possibly be contemplating your demise. Rarely seen losing his temper or even making a mistake, Haru’s equanimity, self-discipline, and supreme control over his own emotions and behavior in even the toughest of situations exist seemingly unmatched. Predominantly acquired through years of tutelage under the Hyūga Ichizoku's elite, he now displays these qualities in every facet of life.

[solitary] — While often viewed by others as an introvert, Haru is, in truth, confident in himself as a person and his skill as a ninja – the loner aspect of his personality in reality not resulting from a low self-esteem, but rather, having lived peerless his entire life, his unhealthy obsession with the ninja arts, and the assuming of several false identities over a span of three years. He’d been glued to the dojo and library from an early age, missing out on a regular childhood as he’d instead devote these years to nonstop research. While young, the combination of constant, rigorous Jūken training and his separate, extensive studies at the academy had allowed no time for friends; consequently inciting a butterfly effect, the boy growing up content with and preferring to be alone. A curse accompanying the selling of his soul to ninpō.

[brilliant] — Perhaps the most remarkable, noteworthy aspect of the cloud-nin's is his phenomenal, awe-inspiring intelligence. Genius, prodigy, mastermind – over the years, these are words that have been used to depict the level youth. Coupled with common sense, as well a clear, sharp mind, he is capable of reading and solving problems promptly with logic regardless of whether he’s involved in intense combat, surrounded by a crowd of chattering people, or even amid moments of extreme pain. Demonstrations of this intellect during missions, among other tasks, has even earned him a heading position among Kumogakure's newly assembled data & intel division; wherein, upon having his skill-set thoroughly assessed, he'd record over a 200 on the IQ segment, a score regarded as immeasurable intelligence.

[deceptive] — Resulting from years spent as a nuke-nin – disguising himself under different aliases, relying upon his own resourcefulness to survive, influencing town officials with sly words and cunning – Haru has become a master of deception. Manipulative and misleading, he is now able to utilize the skills employed during that stealthy, undercover lifestyle in his everyday routine as a ninja. Without a doubt, it’s become a hopeless feat attempting to figure out whether he's telling the truth, lying, or, for that matter, any certain emotion he’d be currently feeling; moreover, with his always impassive expression, he has trained his visage in appearing as impossible to be read. Making use of his extreme self-discipline, Haru is capable of maintaining this deceptiveness regardless of an event’s significance or consequences.

[receptive] — Owing as well to his years of traveling, the youth has become extremely open-minded when it comes to new concepts and people; truly an ironic quality for any Main House Hyūga to have, seeing as critiquing is what the rest of his patrician clan spends a lot of their time doing. He’d been the same earlier in his life, however, after wandering throughout the world, being exposed to different cultures, people, food, languages, etc., it’d no longer be in him to judge others in that manner. Instead of opinions based on outward appearance or any kind of oddity, his are instead formed depending upon a person’s actions and their personality. The youth draws genuine pleasure and enjoyment in learning from new people, as well as being introduced to abstract ideas others would simply dismiss as outrageous or bizarre.

[insensitive] — Although born innocent, following his escape from Konoha and subsequent lone wandering throughout the world, he’d be forced to fend for himself, even killing when necessary. In the hands of Haru, murder had been committed regularly; usually preying on small settlements filled with ordinary people, farmers and the like. While at first he’d been tortured by conflicting morals and flashbacks of the guiltless faces he’d killed, his actions would be rationalized by separate thoughts of his starvation. While it wasn't too frequent, over three years the murder would pile up, to the point that he'd no longer be able to count the amount slaughtered. As a result, his feelings have been forcefully desensitized; he no longer carries virtuous morals, and while he doesn’t necessarily enjoy killing, neither does it bother him.

[autonomous] — Having raised himself the entirety of his life, both in the leaf and the wild, the prodigious youth has grown to become overly independent, whether it be socially or intellectually, and completely self-reliant. Not only does he function unrestrained by his peers, but in addition has no problem standing up for what he believes is right. Isolated throughout his existence, Haru’s courage and fearlessness would both be forced out at an early age, as he'd have his will to live tested years before the majority of his peer-group could have thought to imagine it; evident as well in his Jūken training, as he’d eagerly spar with the Hyūga twice his age and size. Acting independently and without fear has played a crucial role in life, this ability to thrive on his own and without inhibition a key factor in the shaping of his past.

[voracious] — As a kid, passing out in the dojo following days upon days of training, Haru has always been a focused, disturbingly covetous ninja. His relentless pace, drive, hard work, and everything else in correlation with his training all originating from the passion he carries for combat and the ninja arts in general. Whereas some may find their drive and inspiration through goals or their peers, the young Hyūga is naturally passionate about and engrossed with his craft, stimulated and encouraged equally by both his fanatical desire for omnipotence and the fact that he finds training and learning new things to be extremely enthralling. His everyday thoughts are convoluted by his want to constantly improve, this vehement aspect of his character another which has taken a primary role in shaping his past.

[resilient] — Lastly, the adolescent Hyūga's tenacious, unremitting resilience should be noted, as, regardless of any obstacle or setback placed before him, the youth has always managed to endure through it and emerge victorious. The inexorable youth entrusts reliance in the fact that his perseverance is unrivaled, determined and insistent regardless of help or support. While certain traits may have been acquired, this is one that would innately exist within Haru, evident even as an infant, as he'd fight off a sickness that should have resulted in death. It has allowed him to overcome hindrances and difficulties that may have easily stopped others; enabling his hunt of Kumo, as with any less spirit and resistance he may have been killed, survival within natural, undomesticated habitat, and otherwise placing him in his current position.

[/font][/font] 01; 選択, choices.[/ul][chapter I; scattered clouds] — the sea of endless midnight overhanging would foreshadow the events of this fated night. attempts to combat their intrusion not only proved folly, but fatal; three attacked, stifling a large margin of kumo's forces, and escaping before the rest could arrive. the lives of countless civilians, and several shinobi would lie in forfeit.

[chapter IIa; picking up the pieces] — a depressed haru would be contacted by the village's high council only a day following the hellish proceedings, and after the night's casualites had been fully listed. their assembly entailed the issuing of a unique assignment; a joint mission to be transgressed alongside a shinobi of kusagakure, wherein they'd be delivering a package, and haru himself the horrific news of the raikage's death directly to the kusakage. their trip from the thunder country would be one both lengthy and arduous, surrounded by an atmospheric despondency and the suppressed sorrow still heavy on haru's mind.

[chapter IIb; d'honneur disquiet] — guided beyond kaminari, a kusagakure native and chūnin named ujiyasu would lead their excursion through several minor nations en route for the hidden grass. camping a single night in ta no kuni, much of the emotion suppressed by the youth would finally be let free, the scenery as well provoking certain thoughts. upon their arrival at the gates of their destination, a quick exchange permitted haru's safe entry.

[chapter III; buried hysterics] — the meaning behind haru's inclusion in this mission would finally be brought to the forefront, and eventually gifted an audience with the kusakage herself, the assignment's objectives were ultimately brought to fruition. their reciprocity, the youth's impartment of the sad news, would make eiichiro's death all the more real, leaving his psyche on the verge of collapse. he'd manage to maintain a fair amount of composure, however, and was afterward given orders to forewarn the raikage of blanche's decision to travel to kumo.

[chapter IV; come sepulchral I & II] — his journey back to the hidden cloud brought several revelations; the seeds of which would be manifested suitably upon his official return, evident by the request of a mission taking him from kumogakure, and a rather somber letter meant solely for the village's new leader. haru was gone; any return was uncertain.

[chapter V; exodus] — in progress...
