Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yoruichi retreated into the deep recesses of her mind, and imagined herself within the Cavern of the Nibi. The walls were dark, though seemed to glow. Their was a thin bridge made of earth, suspended up an indiscernible amount of feet from whatever was at the bottom. Bluish purple flames could be seem from where she was standing, and ghoulish figures floated around her. In the middle, was a huge cage. The inside of the cage was nigh on empty, save for a small cat in the middle. The cat appeared to be sleeping.
{2/4}
Yoruichi approached the cage, and spoke. *Neko-chan!* The cage erupted into flames and a half growl/his noise sounded. Yoruichi was thrown back from the intensity of the flames. They then died down, and formed into a much larger cat than before. The Nekomata's eyes looked over Yoruichi, and she huffed. *What the hell do you want? Yoruichi smirked to herself, knowing the battle was already half won. *I need you to teach me...anything. Let me learn how to use your power!* The Nekomata huffed once more, and flicked her fiery tail lazily back and forth. Yoruichi felt as if she was standing there forever, and finally the Nekomata spoke.
{3/4}
*Alright, but I'm only going to explain it to you! You'd better pay attention, as I'm only going to say it once. We'll start easy, and see if you don't manage to barbeque yourself.* The Nekomata started, and Yoruichi listened. *You'll learn the Nekomata's Flames first. After I've granted you my chakra, you will harness it, and send it to your hands and feet. They will be flames, but my flames. You'll evaporate water, melt Hyouton, and even turn sand into glass. At your rank and with your strength, you'll be able to shoot out my flames for up to 8 meters, and that's it. Go on, give it a try.* Yoruichi eagerly sucked herself from her mind, and placed herself back in her real body.

She took in a deep, steadying breath and began to draw out the Nekomata's chakra. The heat spread to her body, filling her with the chakra. A coating of chakra spread to her body, and Yoruichi began to focus the power. Blue flames burst around her hands and feet, scorching the ground below her. Yoruichi spread her legs, entering a horse stance and brought her hands to her sides. She brought one arm back, and launched it out, giving a shout to go along with it. The flames shot off of her body, and pushed out to exactly 8 meters before dissipating. Yoruichi ended the technique, not wanting to drain herself anymore.

Name: Nekomata's Flames
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Close-Mid
Description: The user will tap into the Nekomata's chakra, allowing it to leak into them, supplementing their attacks. Blue flames will grow on the user's hands and feet as well. With these flames, the user can use them to add a burning effect to their punches and kicks. The flames, as all the flames of the Nekomata can, it can change sand to glass, melt Hyouton techniques, and evaporate water. Once the user makes it to Jounin, the flames can be shot out to a range of 8 meters.

Yoruichi sat against the ground, far from anyone in the dojo. She wanted to learn something of a trump card, an attack that will decimate her enemies. She handled the first technique fairly easy, and thought she'd be able to handle anything else. Yoruichi closed her eyes, and once more dove into the deep recesses of her mind. The Nekomata was waiting already, watching her from within the cage.
{2/16}
*Back for more eh?* The Nekomata said, rather then a question. Yoruichi nodded her head as she approached the cage. *I want to learn something else.* Yoruichi said, as she took a seat on the floor. The Nekomata seemed to be in thought for a moment, and then spoke again; of course in an incredibly lazy tone. *Alright, you'll learn the Blue Fla-* Yoruichi shook her head and spoke over the Nekomata, which earned her a growl. *No! I need something bigger. Something that will burn the very air itself! I need your help to avenge my family! Konoha need to pay!*
{3/16}
Yoruichi was on her feet again, shouting and shaking, even though she didn't know it. The Nekomata's eyes narrowed at her, and the temperature seemed to rise. *You can't handle what I can show you.* The Nekomata's words stung Yoruichi's pride, which made her growl. *I don't care if I can't! I won't let my family die without avenging them! Show me!* Yoruichi said, and moved even closer to the cage. *How will you wield this power? Will you just go and destroy an entire village? Burn it all until your enemies and their loved ones turn to ash?* Yoruichi was a bit taken back, but then hardened her resolve.
{4/16}
*They took almost everything from me. All I have left is Kenshi and my pack. That is all! Nothing else! I will rip their hearts out and bathe in the blood of my enemies if that is what it takes to harness your power!* Yoruichi said, practically squeezing through the cage. The Nibi remained quiet for awhile, nothing but the sound of eternal flames. Yoruichi was willing to wait for as long as it took. *You got the resolve, but do you have the strength? Let me out.*
{5/16}
Yoruichi furrowed her eyebrows, wondering what the Nibi was playing at. The Nekomata said no more, and closed her eyes. Yoruichi thought about what she had proposed. Releasing the cage would mean that she would have a shot at ripping Yoruichi apart from the insides. Yoruichi had to take the chance. The cage dissipated, leaving Yoruichi and the Nekomata face to face.
{6/16}
The Nekomata towered over her. *Guess you're ready.* It began to shrink, and at the same time started circling Yoruichi. *I'll show you the strongest attack you'll get out of me.* Yoruichi nodded her head, and committed every fiber of her being to learning whatever the Nekomata was about to show her. *It is known as the Nekomata's Tears.* She began, still circling Yoruichi.
{7/16}
*You'll have to summon a ton of chakra from me, and collect it inside of your body. This takes a lot, but it's worth it trust me. After you've collected it inside of you, you'll direct it to your hands. You'll need to collect a large mass between your hands, and then shoot it to the sky. Your best bet is to make it look like you're aiming it at the person, so they'd dodge it and miss the point of the technique. The flames are so hot even standing near it will cause massive burns, and dehydration and all of the other fun effects of extreme heat. When the flame ball hits the air in the sky, it will expand for 2 minutes. After those minutes, hundreds of death balls will fall from the sky. The beautiful thing is that the fun does not end there. When the balls hit the ground, they furiously explode. The blast range is about 6 meters wide, and strong enough to burn the backside right off of another flame. The storm will last for 6 minutes. Try it here, as you'll probably cause a lot of deaths in the physical world.*
{8/16}
Yoruichi's mouth was hanging open as she listened to the description. She just stood there, awestruck. Having that much strength and power rain down upon her enemies was a crazy thought. Yoruichi liked it. The Nekomata gave her space, and her training began. Yoruichi spread her legs, and entered a horse stance.
{9/16}
She held her hands out in front of her, one palm opened up and one palm opened down. She closed her eyes, and steadied her breathing. When she was ready, the Nekomata began to feed her chakra. Again, the warmth filled her very being, and the chakra emanated off of her body. The Nibi's blue/purple chakra wrapped around her, originating from the seal upon her stomach.
{10/16}
At first, one tail sprouted, and then the other. Yoruichi's features grew even more feline like, fangs and claws more prominent, and her hair even longer and silkier. Her eyes reflected light off of them, making them appear to glow. She kept her eyes closed, and focused on steadying the flow of chakra.
{11/16}
There was so much, it was overwhelming. Yoruichi was finally getting a hang of it, and managed to keep it all over her body at once. Then, she pushed it all to her hands. At first, just a small flame appeared between her hands, and then it grew bigger and bigger, until it was about the size of a basketball.
{12/16}
Yoruichi twisted her hands around like a certain orange clad saiyan, and brought them to her side. She then started with a soft growl, which lead into a powerful shout. Yoruichi thrust her hands forward, and a sound like a cannon went off.
{14/16}
The small basketball shot from her hands and expanded into a huge fireball. The land before it was scorched and even the air smelled singed. It curved skyward, and disappeared. Yoruichi was breathing heavily, and looked quite ragged as she took all of this in.
{15/16}
When exactly two minutes passed, Yoruichi looked skyward, and saw the first ball drop. The balls of flames were roughly the size of a basketball, but came in the hundreds.
{16/16}
Each time they hit the ground an explosion sounded, lighting up the area in a hailstorm of flames. For six minutes this happened, and then Yoruichi stumbled and sat down hard on her rear. She was sweating, and breathing heavily. *Didn't I tell you it took a lot?* The Nekomata said as she sat next to Yoruichi, waiting for her to recover.


Name: Nekomata's Tears
Rank: S
Range: Close-Long
Type: Attack
Description: The user will create a huge ball of fire, which at this stage can cause massive burns, and rapid dehydration. Then, they will launch it into the sky, where it will expand for 2 posts. Afterward, hundreds of balls of flames will fall from the sky, which have the obvious effects of burning and everything else mentioned prior to that. But, when the balls make contact with something, they explode with a 6m radius. The fireballs are roughly the size of basketballs. The fire storm lasts for 6 posts.

{1/6}
Yoruichi was ready after having taken a break from using Nekomata's Tears. The Nibi had been right, it was pretty taxing. She took in a few deep breaths before speaking to the Nekomata again. *Alright, let's keep this up! What's left?*
{2/6}
The Nekomata swished its tail back and forth as it spoke this time. *Fire power isn't everything you know. Using fear to root your enemy in place would come in handy no?* Yoruichi nodded her head, intent on never doubting the Nekomata again.
{4/6}
*Feral Death is a technique that does just that. As soon as you make eye contact with the enemy, they will be struck with images of their death. They will burn in my flames, at least within their mind. Their flesh will burn, and the pain and fear shall drive them mad!* Yoruichi nodded her head and rose to her feet, ready to try the technique.
{5/6}
The Nekomata summoned forth the lady with the black armor that Yoru had fought some time ago. Yoruichi walked up to the lady, and looked down at her feet. She wanted to be able to do this technique in a single go, mainly to get this over with quickly and continue to show the Nekomata she was worth it. Yoruichi called upon Nekomata's chakra, and let it fill her body up once more. The familiar heat overtook her in waves, making her feel the warmth.
{6/6}
She found it much easier to concentrate the chakra to a focal point, this point being the eyes. The upside to these techs was that there were no seals to be made, merely the intent of the chakra. So when Yoruichi looked up at the lady, straight into her eyes, she guided the hate filled chakra. The lady gasped as the genjutsu took hold, and released a piercing shriek. Yoruichi watched as she flailed her arms, and clutched at her skin so tightly she would have bled. The lady's eyes rolled to the back of her head, and she was rendered unconscious.


Name: Feral Death
Rank: B
Range: Eye Contact
Type: Genjutsu
Description: The opponent will be inflicted with the image of their death. They will see the user attacking them with the Nekomata's flames, and they can actually feel their flesh burning and what not. This as the ability to drive people mad, as well as root them on the spot.

Next, The trio would stretch out their arms and prepare for the next assault. Kenshi would get low to the ground and then rush his dummy, showing the animal companions what to do. He drove his elbow into the dummy's chest, and watched it crumble under it's force. {1/2}

Shaman and Akatsuchi followed his lead, rushing their dummy's with their increased speed, and slammed their elbows into the dummy. Both of them crumbled into dust as the blow collided with their bodies. They all high fived. "God work. Were making good time here. We need to be ready if were going to take down those leaf ninja and avenge our family." he said low and menacingly.

The armor still active, Kenshi and the pups would all blaze through the next technique. Kenshi was up close to the dummy. He would allow his chakra to swirl around his arm and cause the armor to become focused there. The dummy would be torn apart, the power released into it's chest and breaking it up. He would signal Shaman to come up to the dummy and attempt it as well. {1/3}

Shaman and Akatsuchi walked up to the dummies for them and swung their arms in a horizontal line. Once the arms slammed into the dummy, they both were reduced to rubble, and all over the floor. Their arms, protected by the kaiser armor, wouldn't be in any pain at all. {2/3}

To drive the point home they needed to keep practicing the technique. In just a few minutes, and a mound of rubble, the team would have the technique mastered. One last elbow tore one last dummy to pieces. {3/3} Kenshi only wanted to learn two last techniques before they left. A pair of ninjutsu.

One last technique and he'd be ready. He took his horse stance again, and allow lightning chakra to rush across the skin on his body. He was shocked and pinged all over his body, the lightning causing him a minor degree of pain. Nowhere close to the pain he would relieve by killing the residents of konoha. In just a few more minutes, he was nearly immune to the shocks he was creating and bumped it up. These made his hairs stand up, and left trace scars that healed rather fast. It was now time. He walked over to Yoruichi and pushed her shoulders. "Ready?" he asked her looking intently at her golden eyes with his own. Shaman, back in wolf form, walked to his masters side and looked at Raja again. He understood the pecking order in this small pack. Yoruichi was the head for now, and Kenshi was the beta. Yachioshi came in ahead of him, as well as Akatsuchi. He and Raja were the lower dogs. His eyes trailed from Raja to Akatsuchi, who walked to his side and rubbed up against him. The message was clear. Shaman and Akatsuchi were ready. Kenshi watched the interaction and continued to watch as Akatsuchi looked to Yachiose and nodded. He rubbed her head, and scratched Shaman behind his head, just before his back.
