Marn was the perfect choice for beginners. It was a very common herb found across various lands. The plant itself offers a variety of benefits on both an offensive and defensive level. Defensively it can be used to increase the speed of personal healing on the body. On the other hand, it could also be used to disrupt the heal speed of a foe. Such a useful plant and the best thing about it was: it could be found almost everywhere!

However our hunter today would be unsuccessful this time around. It seemed as if he wasn't looking hard enough. The marn was a fairly sized plant, however it's grey colour often made it difficult to find amongst the shrubbery. The shadows of the trees could easily cloud the vision of the young herbalist. It was important that he simply didn't just give up here. The forest was completely scattered with herbs of the sort. All it took was patience and an enthusiastic attitude!

OOC: Dice roll was unsuccessful. You needed a number inclusive of 1-8 out of 10. You were randomly rolled a 9. Better luck this time!

Commonly used with slithering and crawling animal or object although each person usually has their own use mark. After forming the required handseals this technique will make one's presence truly hidden, allowing for a strategic retreat or for a stealth attack. The structure behind it is alike that of Kawarimi no Jutsu, which will have the user previously disappeared from their place, leaving one's image behind to disperse after an attack or at will and the user will reappear when the "pieces" get back together at a location, which will make it easier for a target to follow.

The horrifying oni can even extend from the targets own body to attack them. The technique aims to transfix the victim with fear while they kill/apprehend the target.

Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No

D: 10 meter range
C: 15 meter range
B: 20 meter range
A: 25 meter range
S: 30 meter range

Description: Katon, the birth of the flame itself. With but a mere thought, masters of the flame learn to birth their fire over large expanses. Intense training opens the door for other techniques, but they all rely on one simple core - the user's ability to birth a flame from a distance.
Domain: Katon.

Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu (Mist Waltz Technique) ⁽⁵⁰⁾
Rank: C
Type: Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: 5
Chakra: Low
Special: Range for mist spray depends on the user's 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Doubles the damage of the Katon technique it's used on.
Description: As its name implies, the Mist Waltz is just that – a vicious mist expelled by the user through their mouth at high speeds, which, when in contact with any form of flame, will create a napalm like explosion, enhancing the fire and even creating disastrous fires which quickly spread and burn. The user must be careful however, as any Fuuton jutsu of equal or greater rank could easily blow back the mist and turn the effects on the user.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka of equal rank.

Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique) ⁽⁵⁰⁾
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: 6
Chakra: Low
Special: Distance of fireballs depends on the highest rank known of 'Enkou Shinka'. Up to one fireball can be made, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Fireballs travel in a straight line, but can be manipulated individually if the user is still, is holding the last seal of the jutsu, and has eye contact with the fireball they wish to control.
Description: Basic yet very effective within the Katon arsenal of jutsu, this technique allows the ninja to emit a series of small fire balls after a simple set of handseals are made. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, because they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like shuriken or kunai, and only select doujutsu and bloodline abilities allow the user to see through the deception.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Endan (Fireball) ⁽⁵⁰⁾
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: See special!
Handseals: 2
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance that the fireball can travel before automatically igniting depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Additionally, fireball size and explosion area will always be equal to 20% of the user's 'Enkou Shinka' size. Finally, each time retrained, an additional 'C' ranked amount of damage is added on as a bonus to the explosion. However, after every 4th training, chakra consumption will go up by one. Can be learned a maximum of 8 times.
Description: Although basic, the fireball technique is nonetheless efficient and deadly. After forming the necessary handseals, the shinobi will expel a jet stream of fire from their mouth, which quickly forms into a large fireball. The user can fire this ball off in any direction they wish, resulting in a small explosion upon impact.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique) ⁽⁵⁰⁾
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: 4
Chakra: Mid
Special: Produces an intense stream of fire that can move as far as one's 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Because the flames are slightly more intense than other Katon jutsu, each time this is retrained, the user can stack 'C' ranked burning damage. However, for every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Stream can last up to a whole turn, but when using this jutsu, the user must be standing still.
Description: Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a fundamental Katon ninjutsu technique which allows the user to freely control fire itself as it leaves their body. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. During this point, they then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Atsui Haigara no Jutsu (Silent Flame Geyser Technique) ⁽⁵⁰⁾
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: 13
Chakra: Mid
Special: Heat spreads all around the user with them in the center; thus the radius of the heat depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Ground cannot be moist or wet in general. Additionally, if the technique is in play and rain is brought upon the area the technique will cease. Although the user is not damaged by the heat, their heat can still set anything nearby ablaze if it's susceptible, which in turn CAN harm the user. Suiton jutsu 'B' ranked and above can automatically cancel the heat. Finally, this technique can produce a small, near invisible geyser of heat 1 meter in diameter randomly around the range of the heat, plus 1 more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption goes up by one.
Description: Once the user performs and finishes a string of handseals, the ground the user stands upon will heat up. The heat is so extreme that anything within a specific radius will slowly melt. Due to this, any caught victim will find their movement's decrease considerably, their footwear stuck due to the fusion of heat and melted material. Even better, if the opponent isn’t wearing any footwear the technique will cause first degree burns upon the soles of their feet and grow into second degree burns if they remain atop the burning ground for too long!
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shika 'C'.

Haisekishou (Burning Ash Accumulation) ⁽¹⁰⁰⁾
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 6.
Chakra: High
Special: Distance that ash can travel and size of the ash cloud depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Ash is expelled through the mouth in the form of a stream.

Each time retrained, extra 'B' ranked burning damage is stacked; however, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Can be trained a maximum of 4 times.
Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user will expel an ash cloud from his mouth, tinted a dark stoic gray. This large cloud will quickly begin to envelope the area in which a foe stands and when the user clicks their teeth, the cloud will ignite in an violent, fiery napalm-like explosion.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'.

YŪHI, KOHAKU.

DOSSIER;

---

✎ Kohaku is a very cold person. He is very picky when it comes to the type of allies he makes. Although this could make it seem as if Kohaku was an uptight ass, this is not the case. He believes in power above all. Those who can bring the possibility of power closer to his grasp will be the ones in which he stays close by their side. His humour is rather crude and disturbing, finding the pain and unhappiness of others quite amusing. This brings out a little hint of sadism within his personality. He is not afraid to leave the weak behind. Some may call him a coward, but he simply believes himself to be smart. After all, what good is honour when you cannot live to embrace it?

✎ Kohaku is always one who fights for what he believes in. He has spent the majority of his life growing up within the gates of the Leaf Village, and thus has grown accustomed to protecting his beliefs and ensuring future prosperity for the village. But, there could come a point in which his attitude could change. Kohaku does not frown upon abandoning ones village however, and would even leave the Leaf Village if circumstances forced it. He believes that every individual shinobi has the choice to whom they represent and lay their life down for. If their allegiance was to change on a regular basis, then so be it. Different situations change the perspectives on different people.

✎ When it comes to whether Kohaku prefers spending his time indoors lazing about or outside exercising in the fields, the attitude changes. Just like every average adolescent, his want to participate in activities differs on a daily basis. Somedays he will want to perform errands for the village, other days he will simply sit indoors and spend time with himself for the entire period. He finds great comfort in being alone. Something that often makes it difficult to bond with team members on missions, unless they of course are of some use to him. Kohaku's cold persona also assists in pushing away people that attempt to become closer to him in his life. Tales of the past are better left unspoken.

✎ Kohaku is very ambitious, and often lets his ambition for things dictate how he goes about his life. This being said, he can often disregard important things in his life if they conflict with the goals that he has given himself. These goals often involve Kohaku acquiring fame and power, striving for the want of recognition amongst the population he lives with. He attempts to mimic what other people do in the village for the sole factor of trying to fit in. Being accepted and recognised as a leading figure by a group of people is all he wants to achieve in his life. Whether people love him or hate him for it for the things he does along the way, well that's an entirely different story.

Height: 185 centimetres.
Weight: 75 kilograms.
Skin Tone: Pale.
Eye Colour: Red.
Hair Colour: White.

✎ Kohaku wears very shadowy-type clothing, providing a very enigmatic and mysterious feel about him. Colours such as greys and blacks contribute to this false aura that he emits. His pale skin nonetheless also contributes to this fact, making it seem as if he has a dark nature. The cloaked atmosphere also allows people to assume that he has many untold secrets. This may or may not lead people to developing an inability to trust Kohaku. This could be both a good or a bad thing. It's often said that people should never judge a book by its cover. What's on the outside could be different to what's on the inside. In this case however, feel free to judge the cover and assume everything.

✎ Covering his torso he wears a lengthy black cotton shirt. The shirt is a tight fit on him, extending down his arms to the his wrists on either arm firmly. The light material of cotton allows for an easy range of movement with minor drag. The shirt also extends down to his waist, sitting firmly on the waistband region and around the entirety of the waist itself. Atop the cream shirt is a dark grey and black jacket. The jacket is over-sized for the Yūhi boy, extending over the hands on both arms and simply just looks too big for him. The jacket is accompanied with a hood and sits firmly around his neck, concealing his upper torso completely. It should be noted that although over-sized, the jacket still ends at his waist level.

✎ His legs are dressed with another colour, thank god. Covering his legs are chino pants with a coffee colour to them. The pants are a tight-fit on his legs, and the chino material allows for an easy range of movement. The chino material is also quite light, which makes it perfect to move around quickly in. These pants travel down the leg until the lower area of his shin. From the shin area, white tap is wrapped around both legs onto the ankle area for support. Protecting both of his feet are a set of black standard shinobi sandals. The sandals are a firm fit on him, allowing for speedy movement and strong grip along surfaces. He also has a dark brown belt around his waist.

The sudden jet of water roared into the chest of the Sunagami ninja, something that he had unexpected yet still was prepared for. The mighty defence of the sand armour was more than enough to cushion the blow from the water stream, yet still followed through with the knock back. Although the Sunagami man was not injured in this process, he was now to experience a very uncomfortable and unexpected bath within the waters nearby.

"Tsch," the Sunagami cursed as he rose out of the water. "Nice try, but you're going to have to do better than that to finish me off," he continued as he inspected his body. The jet of water had not done much to him, but as he fell into the tides of the ocean and was knocked around against the shore, it seemed his armour of sand had been weakened and damaged in the process. Nevertheless, he was still ready to take on this punk ahead of him.

However as the Sunagami began to fluster his hands through a series of hand seals, he was abruptly interrupted by yet another party. Who was it now? "You have failed me." The words echoed through the cavern the pair of them were in. They were deep, distorted, and were horrific enough to send shivers up your spine. This was highlighted by the fact that as the Sunagami man heard the words, his eyes grew wide within an instant. What was the relationship between the two?

The Sunagami man fell to the floor in an instant, as if his entire bodily system had been shut down. That was when the unknown speaker made his entrance. "Welcome Akuharu," the distorted voice spoke out to him. The man was completely enshrouded in the shadows, adding to the enigmatic falseness that emitted from him in the form of an aura. "You have fought courageously, but I feel saddened to tell you that your journey ends here." His eyes opened.

Akuharu would feel a strong connection to the dark figure, as if they were the same. Yes indeed he would. As this was someone Akuharu had shared a past with, an experiment that had gone horribly wrong. This was of course the clone of the Mist Chūnin, the one that had been given the name AU-2. There was no point fighting under the guise of the water clone no more. The Sharingan obviously saw straight through it. It was time to come out and play, Akuharu.

However the time to strike had not come yet. Akuharu obviously had many questions for his clone, or did he? Nevertheless, AU-2 simply stood over the body of the fallen Sunagami and waited for the true Akuharu to show his face. How would Akuharu respond to this, and what did AU-2 really want? Only time would reveal all that was to come. It was time for Akuharu to be put to the test. Was he truly worthy enough to carry the name Uchiha?

"Nice new trick you have there," he proclaimed to Ranshi as he turned his face. Gaku was obviously referring to the Sharingan that slowly faded as Ranshi disabled the ability. How long had it been since their last encounter? A day? Already Ranshi had undergone a serious change in his life. Gaku on the other hand had gone about his time by sleeping within the comfort of his apartment, only ever leaving to get a bite to eat. He admired Ranshi's work ethic.

That was a good question. What was he doing out here? Ranshi had an excuse to be out in the fields. It was only chance that they had stumbled across each other. He didn't really have a real reason as to why he was out here as well, thus decided to go with a cover story. "I come here often to open my mind," Gaku lied as he turned his gaze out toward the area of water that was positioned to the side of the both of them. "It's good to just escape from the busy streets of the village. Plus, I don't really like being around people anyway."

Gaku continued to look out across the water. It was true. He didn't like spending time with others. He much preferred his own company, doing things on his own, and not associating with anyone else that could possibly hold him back from achieving what he wanted. However, perhaps Ranshi was different. He was a valuable asset indeed. He had just showed his dedication to unlocking his Sharingan, and in the mission the day before he had performed well under pressure against the foreign ninja. Perhaps there could be a relationship between the both of them after all?

He slowly turned his head back into the direction of Ranshi after finishing his words. "I've come to you with a proposal. Together we can join our abilities, my Byakugan and your Sharingan, and continue completing missions together. I'm sure the success rate will increase tenfold through the use of both our Dojutsu," Gaku said quite enthusiastically to the Uchiha boy. If they stuck together, they could achieve almost anything. "What I'm trying to say is..."

"We should form a team."
