Welcome to Gaia! ::

on top of one charging wolf-dressed bandit and cut a X shape into its back where he started to stab the bandit rapidly at the middle of the X. Sinobi jumped off the bandit then cut its legs off from under it. Sinobi then stabbed his sword into the top of the bandits head going right through its wolf-like mask. Sinobi spun with his blades out and cut the bandit that tried to sneak up from behind cutting its head from the jaw up off. Than two more wolf-dressed bandits came and jumped on Sinobi clawing his shoulders with their metallic claw like wepons but before one could get a good attack off Sinobi had stabbed them both one with each sword and threw them off. Sinobi then jumped up and came down with both his swords cutting a wolf-dressed bandit in half but as soon as he cut the wolf-dressed bandit. The last wolf-dressed bandit had tackled him and pinned him to the floor. As the bandit went to claw Sinobis face off he let out a cero, shooting the bandit four feet away from him, giving him enough time to dive for his swords then come up slashing the bandit’s head in half. Sinobi then jumped up and went after a group of reptilian like bandit’s that wore snake skinned clothes and were skinny and seemingly flexible. Sinobi , with the element of surprise, managed to cut one of their arms off and the others whole upper body off. But now the element of surprise was gone and the bandits attacked with full fury. Sinobi dropped to the floor dodging one than flipped up and came down with his sword cutting ones head in half. Then he swung around with his swords cutting another one leaving a gash on its chest. Sinobi leaped from the dog pile of reptile-like bandits to get some breathing room but as he was in the air, a bandit had grabbed onto him and started to wrap its robotic tail around him. As Sinobi began to fall ,still be wrapped up by the bandit’s bionic tail, he spun in a counterclockwise motion making the bandit’s bionic tail unravel then stabbed the bandit with both swords in its back putting the bandit under his feet ripped the swords out and landed on the bandit crushing his feet literally into the hollows back. But Sinobi jumped from the hollows back and flipped with each sword facing a different direction and was now like a saw and came down on a snake-like bandit, cutting its whole upper body in half. Sinobi then back flipped from the sliced through reptilian-like bandit and swung around close to the ground and hit the crawling snake bandit right as it was trying to sneak up on him. Sinobi turned as he heard something rustling behind a giant rock, as Sinobi moved towards the rock the surrounding bandit scattered as if they were afraid of whatever was behind it. Sinobi walked behind the rock and he saw a giant shadowy figure that kept moving then suddenly its flame red eyes stared into Sinobi's and suddenly a tail came whipping at him. Sinobi ducked and rolled and the tail smashed into the rock and as the rock fell its shadow went away and the large shadowy figure was actually large reptilian monster like beast, which was probably the reason that the bandit’s were around it, they probably worshipped it . it had one head on its neck and another face on its chest. The face on its chest began to shoot rapid fire balls that where very powerful. Sinobi started to zig-zagg as fast as he could to avoid the ceros than tried to escape but the monster was too quick and it had already gotten in front of him. Sinobi knew he wasn’t leaving this fight unless he or the monster died, and he was to close to his goal to let this overgrown lizard stop him. So ,Sinobi leaped at the monster with both swords out than spun away quickly onto a nearby cliff avoiding the monster’s massive tail. Sinobi looked at his arm that had been cut from the monster’s tail even though he thought he dodged it. Sinobi rolled off the cliff as the tail came back destroying the cliff in a instant. Sinobi saw the tail coming once again as he was in mid air so he shifted his weight up and avoided the tail by twirling on top of it. Sinobi was riding on the tail when all of a sudden the tail had whipped him into a rock wall. Sinobi held on still and as the tail went back for the wall Sinobi jumped off at the monster’s first head on its neck and threw his blades at its face. the blades went into the monster’s neck, Sinobi had blundered in both missing, and losing his weapons. Sinobi began to run avoiding the tail as best he could. Than as he thought of a plan he ran into a cave as the tail followed he dodged jumped and ducked his way around and out the cave and before the tail could follow he blasted the rocks on top of the cave that came down and barricaded the tail inside the cave. Sinobi then ran for his swords. He ran along the bulk of the tail all the way to where it was rooted to the upper body than he leaped ,grabbed his swords, and slashed the hollows face. His swords slashed the hollows face but did not go through only leaving a gash on it the monster than started to swing its head around then threw Sinobi off along with his swords. Sinobi hit the ground hard and his swords just missed him and landed blade first next to him. Sinobi then began to think of a plan and the monster glared at him, then the monster’s second head started to charge a great fire ball. Sinobi quickly grabbed his blades and dived behind a giant boulder. There was a huge explosion that almost pushed the boulder on top of Sinobi. Sinobi peeked from behind the boulder and where Sinobi stood before he moved was a 100 FT deep crater. Sinobi knew that if he was hit by another fully charged fire ball he was done for so he leaped from the boulder over the crater and stabbed his swords into the monster’s chest. Sinobi then jumped off the swords flipped as he jumped , rip the swords when he was in a mid air flip, and flipped all the way to the monster’s second face. When Sinobi stabbed his swords into its second head it started to let out a high pitched shriek opposite from when he made a giant gash on its real head. but then he realized that the second head was really the real head and the first one was only a dummy head to lore enemies into attacking it. it was then Sinobi ripped a sword out but left one in and jumped off the one he left in with the extra momentum he leaped right into the hollows main face and added some chakra into his arm then came down with a slash making another giant gash on the main face but this time flame sprayed from the gash but the monster did not die, Sinobi was then ripped from the sky by gravity and grabbed onto his other sword witch ripped from the monster’s face sending Sinobi falling right before contact with the ground Sinobi let out a cero at the ground which slowed his fall enough for him to land and not be hurt. Sinobi then saw the second mouth open once more and tried to charge a flame but as it charged Sinobi threw a sword into it mouth stabbing its tongue and the monster shrieked in pain losing its focus and dropping its energy used to form the fire ball. The monster scrambled to get the sword out of its mouth but with no tail or arms it had to get it out another way so the monster began to shoot fire balls rapidly into the air trying to blow the sword out. With no good outcome the hollow slammed its head onto the wall rapidly until the sword did indeed fall out Sinobi saw an opening so he sprinted over at the sword, running as fast as he could Sinobi jumped grabbed the sword jumped off the wall the monster was slamming its head on and stabbed both swords into the monster’s forehead. Then Sinobi gained an idea and left the swords in the monster’s head as he jumped onto the wall and ran down it. When Sinobi hit the ground the monster began Again to shriek and shoot fire balls into the air trying to get the swords out Sinobi then ran to the monster’s trapped tail and blew up the rock around it and dived as the monster’s tail whipped out with great speed . The hollow began to yell and with its animal like mind stabbed itself in the forehead with its own tail trying to get the swords out, instantly killing itself. The large monster’s flame sprayed from its head and it seemed that it was raining the monster flame when the monster finally fell Sinobi looked into its large head wound and found his swords and carried them off as he was amazed that he made it through that one with just a few bruises and small cuts. ''wow, im am alot stronger than i was when i first became a shinobi and im going to continue to get stronger until my goal is met'' Sinobi sighed as he found himself back in the village, having taken a while after he was able to escape from the cavern, failing to meet with his long time friend however. It seemed that Sinobi would be much more difficult to find then he had originally thought, and in the meantime all he had been able to do was master a few of the basic arts. Being a Genin with his lineage was something that was disgraceful and a mockery really, and now that he thought of it he knew that it would make some sick. All he had to do now was train and wait until the next Chuunin exam, something he intended to pass without fail. It wasn't his place to criticize the villages methods or the way that shinobi changed their ranks, but honestly he had only remained at this level because he had been partaking in such advanced training elsewhere in order to better understand the basic ninjitsu arts, whereas his strength had always lain in the ability to wield a sword with his immense strength through taijutsu, hence his ability to wield the Heavenly Dawn with such ease. It was a sword to rival that of the Seven Swordsman of the village hidden in the mist, and in time he hoped to be capable of wielding the blade with such power and precision as those who were known as those legendary seven from the rival village. Sinobi had seen many other villages in his time, as he was trained before he could return to the village and prove that he was a ninja on caliber with many others who had officially achieved high ranks. Sighing, Sinobi folded his arms, the thoughts of the village entering his mind once more as he was reminded of the oddity of their home. It had even waged a war with the ignorant creature village in a time past, and failed...it was unfathomable. Sinobi smirked, lifting his arm as he shifted his balance quickly and grasped the hilt of the large sword that he constantly had swung on his back, before lifting the large weapon off of his back and holding it precisely overtop of his head, smirking as he then whipped the large, heavyweight weapon to the side and held it horizontal to the ground, making sure his arm was prepared to hold it easily and not feel much strain from something that most human beings would struggle to hold in the first place. A ninja had a much simpler time with it of course, and he was much stronger physically than that, so holding a weapon of such intense mass and weight with his one arm instead of both just furthered the fact that he had long learned to master the arts of taijutsu, which had long ago become his specialty which was rivaled only by his abilities with ninjutsu after that. His genjutsu wasn't as bad as he had heard some fighters had become with it, but even so it was a pale comparison to the rest of his fighting style, and that was why he had learned to master the arts of hand to hand combat so much easier than the rest. When mastering genjutsu, you learned just how rarely the type of jutsu Sinobi preferred, swordplay and taijutsu in direct confrontation were, and thus he had still learned a good deal about genjutsu. It was true after all that many genjutsu were learned simply to ensure that no one would be able to fight back when taken out, and when one could neither smell, sense or see their opponent properly it meant that they were almost absolutely finished, no matter what they had hoped they would be able to do with all of their other skills. Someone who had unlocked the legendary taijutsu gates would still be helpless if they became caught within their own mind, and that was why it was important to study every art available to a shinobi while they had a chance. Sinobi smirked, remember hearing about the legendary Zabuza, the one who was often referred to as the Demon Hidden in the Mist, who was from the flame Mist village that was for a long time under heavy scrutiny from all ninja villages. Zabuza had become as one of the legendary seven swordsman of the mist, and he was a highly feared opponent on the battlefield when any village ended up battling against one another, with one of them being the Hidden Mist's which had such latent power in their shinobi, who were often born with more promise than even the Hidden creature's shinobi. But most importantly, he'd heard that even with the fearsome attacks that Zabuza constantly used in his assassination missions, he usually used a hidden mist ninjutsu to conceal his movements, and later attacked using a plethora of the village's most hidden attacks in order to assault his enemies. If he hadn't turned rogue on his village when the time came, he would have become one of the most legendary and heroic figures in the flame Mist village eventually, or at least it was highly probable, and the fact that he was someone whose skills were as balanced as that made Sinobi keep focused on his future goals of being a powerful shinobi himself. If he hadn't ended up being forced to face off against the Copy Ninja Kakashi, he never would have ended up the way he had, but even so many still remembered him as a very powerful and accomplished ninja, even after he became a rogue and went off to be such a missing nin, who would eventually die in such a talked about battle. It was said he had even taken on an apprentice, and had planned to storm back into his home in time, proving that he was worthy of the titles that he had taken as one of the greatest warriors of the Hidden Mist village, along with one of the great flameline user's following him with some amazing hidden ability. It was that sort of determination, power and overall control that Sinobi hoped firmly to accomplish and find within himself as he became as accomplished as those who had come before him.Lifting the blade in his hand and swinging it in a large diagonal arc, Sinobi hacked through a tree that grew outside of their village, grinning in satisfaction as he made a perfectly clean cut through a tree that was as thick as one that had been standing since before the third great war, a testament to how long ago it had been when the foliage he had just defiled had first been planted. Grinning as he lowered the large sword to his eye level, rubbing his other hand along it gently, he realized that even now his blade carried no sign of scratch or tear, a testament to the power that he could focus along it's edge in order to increase it's cutting efficiency. It wasn't an excellent example of space compression manipulation with chakra, but he knew that he would be able to learn more about it when the time came and be able to use it more thoroughly. The fact that he was aware of it and could use it to a certain degree when he hadn't even ascended to a Chuunin rank yet, regardless of his failure to have ever taken the test before, meant that he was far more along than he should have been at the time. Spinning the blade a few more times, Sinobi attempted to keep the flow along the blade steady, however the focus was lost every time he managed to spin the blade successfully, something he could do much more quickly than he could think of while focusing chakra. He sighed, realizing that that would require further training, but for now he knew that he would be able to use what proficiency he had with it well enough to prove himself above the level he was at. The ability to compress chakra tightly was an A rank ability at least, and he'd managed to form it into a thin and rapid motion of chakra at least, which presently a good advance along that line of ability. However, he knew that it would take more training to make a constant form, the same way the legendary rasengan was formed from a solid sphere of chakra that allowed none of it's power to escape, making it's destructive power much more efficient than abilities such as the chidori. Sinobi sighed, preparing to train as the day got along, knowing that soon enough he'd have his chance to advance his rank, although there was one other goal he had considered before. The village was simply the best choice at the time, as following his other path would eventually lead to a path he could not backtrack from, and thus he would not give it more thought for now, as he continued to follow the decision to protect the one who he had met in the past. He had become strong for the purpose of working for his friend, and in the future he knew that he would be able to reach that destiny. First he had to make himself worthy to meet his friend, and that was why he had reached and attained the level of power that he was capable of now. His sword's techniques were only the first step in a long list of abilities that he needed to understand in order to overcome them, and the ones that his enemies would eventually use in the field of battle. That was what it meant to realize the limitations of your abilities compared to those of your opponents, and overcome them in the field of battle. Even Kakashi the copy ninja was famous not only for his mission record, but for the one thousand ninjutsu techniques that he learned, understood and comprehended easily, and then executed against his opponents in turn on the battlefield. That was the sort of infamy that Sinobi planned to earn for himself, should another great war ever break out amongst the tribes. It was the reason that he trained diligently, both for his goals and to protect the village hidden in the creatures from any harm that might befall it in the future when the negotiations and the uneasy peace talks were done and had failed, when only the sword and the masters of war understood what it meant to be a true hero and to solidify the world for life Even the alliance that existed now was not crafted from any politician's ideas; it was crafted by the legends of the White Fang, the Yellow Flash, and the warriors who made the villages that unified Shinobi into armies rather than individual warriors. Now it was a world where

...higher to use such advanced resistance techniques so accurately, and even a kage might have trouble with it if they were of a different form than one of that elemental style. Even a kage only had an element or two that they were far stronger than do to their affinities, and then they had those that they were weaker against because of their body's natural affiliation. The world always left a hole for those who wished to destroy that which had built up too much power, and the most powerful earth user was easily destroyable through a thunder technique of equal power. Quickly running the handseals across himself, Sinobi realized that he had never actually practiced the skill before. Making sure the motions were correct, he once more grinned as he prepared to try the skill, one of the jutsus of his village that took control of outside chakra elements rather than those of the body's inner workings. Sinobi smirked as his chakra began to be released out of his body in a steady stream, funneling into the creatures above which began to crack with the lightening stored within them from his own aura of chakra. Practicing the handseals once more, Sinobi realized it was time to unleash his technique, and struck the final symbol as he felt the chakra reach a latent power level that would make it far too deadly to be held in his control anymore. "Lightening Style: Lightening Strike Jutsu!" Sinobi shouted, slamming his hand into the ground and causing a lightening bolt to strike a tree that stood alone in the woods he'd been practicing on, the rest around it having been destroyed and swept away a little while ago so as not to catch fire with the dangerous eletric techniques that he was using. As a flash of light enveloped the area and the tree burst into flames, the lightening bolt having desended from the heavens themselves, Sinobi grinned and realized he had been able to use a technique similar to the sage style that was used by one of the legendary saanin that were heard of from the hidden creature village. While perhaps not of the exact same style, it never the less bolstered a considerable power in the same manner as the sage's strength, and gave him an advantage over many opponents that were not of such a dealy and historical level. Striking a few more handseals as he decided to continue on, feeling his chakra boil through him at his success, Sinobi smirked and shouted once more."Lightening style: Flickering Light Jutsu!" He shouted, the chakra around him flashing into luminescence, a skill that was capable of blinding an opponent who was unaware. Sinobi was lucky to have been born into the village of the hidden creatures where such a luminescence wouldn't necessarily destroy the user's eyes, but he knew that to another opponent staring at him they would have seen both a bright object, and if it had been charged more, a light so intense that it burned their eyes. He was still too low a level to use it to such a high level, but at least he knew that he had the basics of it easily trained over, making for a powerful technique both in the dark, and in an intense battle where his opponent's eyes were drawn to him closely. When in a battle that required seeing your opponent, it was often wisest to watch your opponent intensely so that you could interpret his moves and avoid them before it was too late, however when fighting an opponent of the hidden village of the creatures that was often a fatal mistake, as they were capable of causing such a bright flash that had terrible repercussions for their opponents. Sinobi especially used a style that revolved around tearing his opponents asunder with a powerful strike from his sword, and that meant that getting an opening on his opponent was critical. His sword was large and made it possible that against the most elite ninja, he would be incapable of moving as quickly, even with his proficiency in swordsplay that revolved around his weapon. As such, a technique that could paralyze, a technique that could blind and a technique that could keep his opponent's guard open for him to strike within made Sinobi a deadly assassin, meaning that he would end up quite valuabel to his allies and his clients, whereas he would ensure that his opponent's, and their clients ended up not getting nearly their money's worth when their ninja ended up dead on the battlefield at the hands of Sinobi, his allies and the shinobi of the hidden creature village. No village could argue that there wasn't the most pride in their clan, the head of the village and their ferocity would pay off in time, regardless of what the enemies put into stopping them in their tracks. Now they were only a weapon for those who wanted to cut down their enemies and those in power; the tools that both rebels and governments would use at their discretion to deal with their enemies in the most proficient way possible. It was a job that made Sinobi sick for the most part, and that disgraced the way of the shinobi more than anything else, making them look like idiotic fools who would one day slaughter each other until they reached the point of extinction. But in reality, one day the Sinobi and all the others would shatter their bonds, free themselves from the tyranny that all those who thought they were buying off the smartest shinobi and the most talented currently held, and establishing a new world in which they were appreciated, rather than scorned as tools of war that should be put away whenever their uses came to an end. Even the shogun of their country likely believed that their existence was expendable, and with no wars to fight he might have wanted the village to cease to exist. Luckily the village Hidden in the creatures was not dumb enough to fail in front of a brute military force such as the swordsman of the ruler of their country, the king that thought himself so special, and they would only bide their time until they waited to strike. That was their way, and Sinobi couldn't be any more happy to see it through unto their enemy's destruction. Sinobi sighed, having used a good deal of his chakra in the recent training, and looked over towards his signature sword that he often used in battle in order to crush his opponents in a match of physical prowess. Now he knew that he wouldn't be able to use that as much, and thinking of such a sad fact as the truth that he would have to put even more effort into his ninjutsu and genjutsu meant that he knew he would have a lot more work ahead of him if he was to overcome his current weaknesses and prove that he was meant to be the best ninja to come out of the village hidden in the creatures since the village's founder, who was said to be as powerful as one of the original founders of the other villages, even to the hidden creature village that had been made of the two most prominent clans in the war, one of those being the Uchihas whose power exceeded all but the most amazing shinobi, and even then only those whose physical abilities and chakra controls were far beyond the standard, if the Uchiha did not measure up to their beest warriors. A true Uchiha was someone whose strength surpassed many warriors, and itw as to this day a sad fact that they had ended up joining the rival creature village when it was established, and refused the invitation to the village hidden in the creatures that was extended. In their village, a clan with such admirable powers would have been accepted as gods, and would have likely taken up leader positions very quickly because of their amazing power and skills in battle, along with their legendary eyes that were said to possess the abilities of another world. The legend of the flameshed of the Uchihas was something that would not have marred their name had they joined any other hidden village than the one that was buried in the leaves, and very few of their village hoenstly thought that the Uchiha were as loyal to the village of the hidden leaves as most claimed them to be,the less informed believing them to be the backbone and military force of the village when in truth they were almost entirely separated and segregated from the other parts of the village due to their extreme power and wanton battle lust. Now that he knew about their true story and what happened to their clan when it was first assembled, Sinobi wasn't sure that he agreed with the rest, but he believed that they had honestly received the worst fate that could be given to those who had worked so loyally and so long to ensure the safety of the fire country. Even so he didn't believe their village needed a clan like that, nor did he believe their country needed to enlist any shinobi from the outside, and he had an honest belief that he would be capable of keepign the country together and strong as long as he had the backing of the Sinobi clan, those who had long planned to guard the world that the village hidden in the creatures was based in from harm. He didn't need the skills of the pathetic Ichihas to bolster their military force, and in the coming Chuunin exams he would show that no candidates were really on par with him, no matter what they thought they had in might. In the end, they were the ultimate clan and the ultimate village, a union that would make for a fearsome existence on the battlefield if the country ever realized how powerful they truly were and stopped begging for the help of those who had no business in the affairs of the lightening country. Now that it came to mind as he was studying his ninjutsu, Sinobi realized that he hadn't used the actual cloning techniques of either his clan nor his village in quite some time, and the ability to keep one's self out of battle for a while was something that he now realized would probably aid greatly if he ever came to blows with a fighter who had such incredible strength. By focusing a large amount of chakra, many of the shinobi of the village hidden in the creatures were able to make a duplicate that could both strike with immense force, using the abilities of those who were from the village hidden in the creatures, and whose bodies were made of their strong element that could easily do extraordinary damage those who were unwary when facing off against the strong opponents who emerged from the village hidden in the creatures. Sinobi stood, dusting himself off after having taken a long rest on the dusty road, when he looked around at the scenery. It had actually changed considerably from what it was a while ago. Earlier there had been any number of trees, so that it was hard to look around and not notice what was beyond the distance at all. Now there were a great many of them hewn down from all of his intense practice, and Sinobi could see the horizon much more clearly because there was nothing keeping the distance out of his view except for his own choice to look towards the earth, where he would strike switfly and silently when his opponents were before him. HIs life was not in the horizon, but in front of him where he was training, and that made this place on of importance, which even he would eventually ahve to admit held a great deal of specialty for his solid and previously thought to be unreachable iron heart. Looking at the rock he had cleaved in two a while aog, Sinobi smirked, realizing just how far he'd come. It took a considerable amount of power to shatter something of such incredible power, or an immensly fine amount of power put into a single point such as a crack, but he had no way to do the latter and thus had used his physical prowess to shatter it. It was a reminder of what a fearsome warrior he could become, and with a boulder like that shatter it made the terrain look all the more barren, like it had been struck by a natural disaster, not someone who was somehow mislabeled as a genin when had he not missed the most chuunin exams he would have passed them for sure. Even the sky seemed to have trained in light of his training. Whereas before it had been filled with the everpresent creatures that hung about their village, now a glimpse of creaturelight shown through, which made it all the more wonderful to the trainee for all of his hardwork to have paid off with a glimpse of the face of the sky, where few people could ever draw their eyes away from after only a moment. One day he hoped to be the creature, which could take the eyes of all those in the world and draw them to him without doing more than being the beautiful existence that it was. Sinobi smiled one last time, knowing that he was beginning to ramble and that if he continued, then he'd never be able to get his training out of the way and move on to bigger and more important things. The raikage probably had too much on their plate to waste on something like staring into the creature, and Sinobi had to surpass the greatest lightening user in either the village or the world at large's history books. Beginning the handseals, Sinobi felt the revitalization of his rest, and focused as he extended his chakra, beginning to build it in a large, human point aside from himself, using the elemental focus as a way to channel it easier. Sinobi opened his eyes, letting out a yell once more as he felt the utsu reach it's final stage. "Lightening Clone Jutsu!" He shouted, separating himself into what he currently was, and an entirely new body that would be able to fight on it's own at need. The two Sinobis looked at each other, the first smiling in satisfaction while the second smiled comprehensively, knowing it would be summoend anothe time when it was needed against a truly fierce opponent. As the second Sinobia disappeared in a puff of lightening and smoke, the original grinned and prepared for the next task, before suddenly coughing as he realized the untold strain put on his body. He hadn't slept in quit a while, and it was probably best if he did that now, removing any obstacles from his training so that he could further himself and still reach the goal with enough power to prove that he was teh best one for anything the village had to manage. Walking to the side, where he had built up a good bit of wood into a shelter from all of his training, Sinobi sighed and unrolled a futon, knowing that heading back to the village at such a time would be a waste of time and energy, while he sorely needed both of those in order to prove his power wasn't something immaterial, but something that was very real and very graspable. In time, his opponents would learn that the man who lay resting in the woods beneath the lightening was as fierce as the element he was surrounded by, and that their fears when they heard about the legendary swordsman of the lightening weren't unfounded. In time he would reach the level of a legend, and when he did, he would crush even the story of the hokage that was said to have ruled and saved the village hidden in the creatures from one of the greatest terrors to ever strike the hidden villages.That was the legend that he would build, one of an epic hero who far surpassed the rulers of old, and now that he closed his eyes to rest he knew that he would be able to open them into peace, and be capable of continuing on into the true world of dreams, the one he made where anything was possible if you were willing to train enough for it. It was a world he was born into, that he trained into, and that he would one day prove he could rule, because he had the will that could not be extinguished by any water, that was immortal and passed between even the most delicate of ninja. He'd heard that the shinobi of the village hidden in the creatures believed in something of the sort, and thought that it was a special gift to everyone, but he forgot what it was they had called it. It was the will of heat, or something similar...Sinobi couldn't recall as he passed into sleep.Sinobi saw the image of a number of shinobi standing around, all of them with their blades drawn as if something was coming afte them. They stood in a formation around the group, and Sinobi realized that they were pulling one of the most basic defensive maneuvers for keeping a precious person, or a client protected from harm when they were surrounded, outgunned or outnumbered. Sinobi was one of the people in the imddle, and he realized from the sounds of it that there was a battle that had commenced between the konoha village and the village hidden in the creatures, which meant that this was part of the third great war. Sinobi's eyes were sharp with pain, and he realized that there must have been a great bit of strife within himself when he wasn't able to help anyone. It was true that he couldnt' have been part of this war, but he still felt it like it was real, and the man before him, with long green hair and a stout heart, was someone who obviously meant something important in the memory. As he turned his face, issuing orders to the men present, Sinobi realized it was a dream of his father, and that this was his platoon during the battle that he had told Sinobi about so many times in the past. A moment later, shouts came as a man with white hair and a mask burst from the bushes, dashing towards the doorway of the hut that the shinobi were in and making himself vulnerable to their defense. However, before Sinobi could cheer for the ninja of the village hidden in the creatures, a large fist burst through the wall behind them, taking out one of the last five or so shinobi who were in the hut protecting the innocents who were gathered. Out of it was a man in large red armor who was highly decorated, obviously being one of the clans of konoha with an ability to increase their body limbs at will for powerful attacks that could even break through things that normal people couldn't. As soon as the arm had been removed, revealing the flameied body of the man laying on the ground who was near the back of the hut, another shinobi of their damable village rushed through the hole, but one of the shinobi of the hidden creature village was smart and waited until he had betrayed his position, performing a handseal and forcing a lightening bolt to shoot forward and strike through the enemy, killing him as quickly as he had come. A moment later however, this shinobi suddenly let go of his grip on the wall where he had been, keeping himself in the corner above ground and out of sight for the most part, and walking forward as if he had no more regard for his own life. Suddenly his shadow seemed to stretch up around his next, strangling him and causing the man to gasp, clutching at his next until he stopped breathing. Sinobi watched the shadow recede, realizing there was a darkness in the darkness that extended out of the hole the large man had opened. Sinobi realized what it was with the information he had now; one of the Nara clan, who were able to merge their shadows with others and then strangle and attack their opponents, furthering their range with another shadow if need be. Obviously when he had killed the first konoha ninja, the man who now lay dead had given away his position and the nara man had taken advantage of the situation. One more shinobi leapt through the hole, obviously the partner of the Konoha ninja who lay dead and the white haired man outside, and the two who were left inside the hut quickly engaged him. As they did though, the man rose his sword and blocked the slash from above one of them delivered. Just when it seemed that an opening had occured, the other lowered his...

..a bit quicker, expecting to find his weapon. It was part of his lifestyle, intent on defeating the legendary swordsmen of the hidden mist village, and was actually imbued with strong water skills that would benefit the holder. To be separated from it was something that, with his recovery beginning, Sinobi couldn't stand; especially since he had held it longer than he had been serving the village of hypocrites... Sinobi had felt the illness pass by now, the annoying pest from before having gone. His words were still buzzing in Sinobi's head, and it was enough to make the Genin hate the idea of the village which seemed so intent on keeping him down when all he had asked was the freedom to give to the people who came before him. Instead the man had said things like 'they would probably believe he was innocent', and that he might be given the rightful freedom he deserved. It was enough to bring out more than a little bit of hissing anger from him, and now that he felt the illness flowing out of his body and making it possible for him to move easily, he saw his sword on the side. What would he do with that sword, if he was never going to be recognized by the idiots who ran the village, including the incompetent Raikage that everyone seemed so fond of? Would he simply stay there and become the food for the villagers who they 'approved' of to show themselves as the mighty? Would he allow himself to be the scapegoat or some sacrificial lamb for those who wished to give up one every now and again to feign the fairness and weakness of the village so that their grip could tighten? Sinobi sneered, knowing he was partially recovered at the very least, and quickly helped himself from the place where he had been resting, sick of all the loathsome waiting as they apparently prepared to deal with him in some manner or the other. honestly, he placed little faith in Koukon's words, expecting rather that they give him some severe punishment in the same manner as they had in the past, and he had no intention of suffering the humiliation once again all for the sake of the strong and the position of that damned woman in charge. Sinobi made quick work of connecting his boots and securing them, then pulled his gauntlets on tightly and stood up, tapping his toe once against the floor out of habit. Finally, he reached out and grasped the Heavenly Dawn laying against the wall, placing the signature weapon of the man against his back before folding his arms and leaning against the wall, deciding to wait in his most comfortable fashion for a little bit. Whatever happened next, he would allow someone else to decide. Depending on how things went between now and the time he left the hospital, his life would be changed towards an almost indescribably different manner from it's past; and that decision, for better or worse, loyalty or independence, all of it was based on the next person to walk through the door. He had a rough idea what ANBU were waiting already, but if he was to be sentenced to a trial then there'd be a lot more showing up sometime soon, so he was going to stay on guard and keep paying attention. He had a few tricks up his own sleeve if they were going to attempt stabbing him in his back, and that was why he had made it as far as he had in such a short time. Sinobi glanced to the side, seeing the door close after a moment. The shinobi stood up, no longer leaning against the wall as he checked, interested that someone had not only come in, but appeared to be from a village other than the Hidden creature and, it was quite obvious, had made it past the ANBU with little to no resistance. His curiosity peaked, Sinobi smirked, turning so that the man was directly in front of him as he examined him. "A Hidden...creature, am I right? What are you doing here that is of any interest to me?" Sinobi spoke, his arms unfolding as a hand guided itself towards his side, really putting it much closer to the hilt of his large sword should he require it. It was one thing to be intrigued at someone who had broken in past ANBu, but it was another to let them go on while he stood there unguarded, when they could have been there just as easily to kill him as they were to give him some form of proposition. And evidently, the person who was meant to walk through the door was not the man who thought that Sinobi pledging himself to the village and getting off with a trial was the best idea for the shinobi. So if this was fate, Sinobi was willing to hear whatever the man had to say to him about the subject; after all, he had plenty of free time on his hands, and they were obviously skilled enough to have made their way into the village and the hospital without having been quickly jumped by the ANBU; as Koukon Enkou had said, they were on high alert due to the circumstances under which he had been put in the hospital, involving the Hidden creature. "Tch." Sinobi turned his head for a moment, looking towards the window that was on the other side of the room. Apparently he was going to be questioned about that b*****d he'd met before, and this time not even by his own village; it was becoming a real hassle to deal with all of the problems that seemed to be entailed with an encounter like the one he experienced. Was it really so necessary to get so close to the last man to see him, and make sure that he wasn't holding back any information on a man who Sinobi had barely even encountered, let alone knew about. He had nearly killed him and now it's backlash was worse than that; people were constantly appearing who seemed interested in his fate and he had no intention of being a puppet for anyone; but answering a few questions was never a problem. "I don't like it when someone comes waltzing in here with no manners. Normally when you request something you give a please, and end with a thank you. Manners are what make the world turn, after all. But, I do have a bit of evidence...please, don't react too quickly." He said, reaching and grabbing the hilt of his sword, swinging the massive weapon over his back and holding it out in front of him. His first hand began a gesturing motion, towards a scratch on the blade, so it was obvious there were no handseals. Even so, a moment later a large rush of water shot out as the hidden jutsu of his sword was unleashed, an attempt to catch the two off guard. It was good to know how aware your opponents were after all, and he was really starting to get bugged by these punks who wanted to tell him how they were going to run his life. This was not the pride he sought, or the way he intended for when he decided to serve the Hidden creature. Now, that path was quickly becoming creatureed... As the tree began to form in order to bind him, Sinobi formed a handseal a moment before the binding was complete, doing nothing to avoid the tree. However the needles fired from the second one, Ichigo as he had been introduced, were quickly deflected by the water shield that protected the user of the sword as long as they held it. Sinobi smirked as lightening suddenly struck at the two from above, an attack he expected to catch them off guard since an opponent like himself, one normally faced directly. But then, he had also made no moves to free himself, so if they weren't struck by that attack then he had no intentions of playing around any longer. They were already getting serious enough, it wasn't his place to attack before he heard a bit more from them, and there was a little bit of interest to go with his annoyance, since they managed to avoid dieing from his first attack. He was becoming seriously upset with the turnabouts from the previous meeting, and it wasn't too surprising that he wanted to get a little bit of aggression out of his system. After all, these people weren't even of his own village, and here they were once again, bothering him like there was something to their meeting that would give them some edge in a later conversation. Inside the binding, Sinobi sighed. "Okay, come on. So what do you want to ask me? You should make it short, I'm in a very bad mood..." Sinobi made the usual 'tch' remark at their question, although he still looked directly at them. So that was it huh, he had been right in the idea that they were just hunting down that shinobi who had abandoned his village from before. Well he couldn't blame them for doing their duty, but the fact that they were bugging him was a bit pointless, and after all it was actually futile to have asked him about the situation. "Sorry, I don't know much. He fed me a few lines about how great his clan was, said that we'd probably meet up in the future...all of the arrogant stuff you can expect from people in this world. I know it's of no consolation, but I really don't know where he might be, or anything of the sort. This entire village is on high alert assuming he'll come back to try and get another 'chat' in with me, but I doubt that." He said, still in the pose from before. He was bored now, and simply giving them questions until he could be released easily from this place was much easier than anything else. His hands were still together in front of him too, as they had been before when he cast the lightening strike on the ground towards them. His sword was still to the side a bit, though just inches from his hand, and he figured he'd have to grab it when this little bit of messy business was done. Until then, he would see what they were planning... As the jutsus began to fade away, Sinobi made the usual tsk noise again and raised his hand, patting a bit of dirt off of the shoulder of his outfit caused by the little tiff that happened. Looking at Koukon after his rather longwinded explanation, Sinobi seemed to give him a serious look, before turning to pick up his sword which was embedded in the floor of the hospital room. "You're so annoying...I'm going out for a walk. I may not be back for a while, but I'd prefer if this time you didn't tag along. When you have a few pests around, they begin to multiply, after all." Sinobi said, pulling the large sword from the ground and twisting it, strapping the large weapon to his back in one swift motion. His hand then fell to his gauntlet which had gotten a bit twisted up, and he made the most minute task seem important as he readjusted it, smirking. His outfit was a symbol after all, and it wasn't good to get the symbol of someone superior to you dirty; that was a warning he should have given to the world. Turning his head to see Koukon was still there, he made one last tsk, a grin appearing on his face. "See ya around, pest." With that, Sinobi opened the window, making an easy leap onto the nearest roof, deciding to ignore the slow and tedious walk back through the hallways.He'd also forgotten to check out, but that meant as little to him right now as the blowing of the wind, and he had to get going. After all, the little runt had said that the man he ran into before was headed to the Village Hidden in the Waterfall, and had some greater ambition that revolved around the illness he seemed intent on spreading to others. For now, Sinobi felt it was time to go after him and settle some business...after all, the idea of receiving a gift and giving nothing in return never really appealed to Sinobi; so he'd have to return the favor to the man from before. Sinobi runs as fast as he can across the village looking for a tall enough building that he could see a far distance from ontop of, Sinobi continues to search until he finds one but the problem is getting up there so Sinobi takes out two shurikens and begins to stab them into the building and use them as grapling claws to climb to the top so after about five steps Sinobi realizes it will take him along time to get up there like that so in one motion he jumps as high as he can throws a shuriken to the top of the bbuilding with a marking on it and uses his Flying thunder god technique to transport him to the shurikens position but as he appeared next to the shuriken he realized that the top of the building was a very thin tip and it took all the concentration Sinobi had not to loose balance and fall ''wow this is actually pretty high'' Sinobi then looked around the village to see if there was anywhere for him to train because he felt that he was becoming the weakest in the village and he wasnt happy about it so Sinobi finally spotted a small band of low level looking bandits heading towards the exit of the village so Sinobi again through his shuriken with a sign on it but this time into the back of one of the bandits and used his flying thunder god technique so before they found out where the shuriken came from Sinobi was in the middle of them was already attacking one but as the bandit thought Sinobi was attacking with his fist Sinobi was actually using his air blades and took the top of the bandits hand off then dropped down and swept away the bandits feet but now Sinobi's element of surprise was done and the bandits where mad and full aware of Sinobis presense and before Sinobi could move he was smacked into another bandit in which he was slammed onto the ground and as a Bandit went to stomp him Sinobi rolled away and stabbed a shuriken into the bandits foot causing his foot to be stuck to the ground and causing him extreme pain. Then Sinobi saw the other bandits attacking with their katanas and rolled out the way then thru a shuriken behind them causing their eyes to slightly drift to the side and bye the time they looked back Sinobi had used his lighting clone technique and they all attacked except two as expected the lightning clones where dealt with with little effort and the two remained but both still had a smile on their face as one of the bandits was paralzed from and attack from a clone but thats not why the where smiling so then both clones ran at the bandits and the bandits learned their leason and destroyed both with their katanas makign sure to keep away from contact but Sinobi wasnt their the bandits where confused until they heard a slight movement in the trees above them then all of a sudden Sinobi jumps out of a tree with one of his shurkins surrounded bye one of his newest techniques the demonic sword wich made the chakra build up around the shuriken and from a blade of chakra so as Sinobi decended onto the bandits he sliced at the already half handed one locking bldes with him but before he went anycloser Sinobi jumped of his opponenets blade spun his sword and stabbed it in a backwards motion into the back of the bandit then as he ripped it out he slashed at another bandit but the bandit jumped back and all of a suden through a demon wind shuriken but Sinobi hit the shuriken with his blade and forced it to the ground. ''gonna have to do better then that if you want to gah!'' just then the bandit had tackled him into a nearby body of water and began attacking with his blades under water but Sinobi barly blocked it kicked him back and went up for air but soon as he took a breath he was forced back down bye the bandit and was attacked againi bye the bandits bladesbut Sinobi again dodged but this time kicked the bandit in the face and then stabbed him between his shoulder and his neck making flame flow rapidly out of the woudn and sense the blowq was struck with Sinobi's demonic sword the flame was gonna flow to fast and thebandit was dead even if he could swim to the surface Sinobi then began to swim to the top and then he finally broke through the waters surface and took a giant breath and swam back land covered in flame drenched water. Sinobi then began to lagh as he looked to see the onlybandit left was the paralazed one but he didnt realize that the paralazation should have worn off way before then so as he rashly walked over and pulled back his blade in order to deliver the final blow he was slashed bye a katana rite across his stomach it wasnt deep enough to be to fatal so Sinobi jumpesd back and retaliated bye throwing a shuriken but the Bandit easily smacked it away and charged toward Sinobi with his katana aimed for his neck Sinobi then moved but barly dodged it and was cut on thbe side of his neck ''damnit...hes had way to much time to rest while ive had none'' as soon as Sinobi finished his thoat the bandit came back at him but he slightly dodged the katana again this time it cutting his cheek and then he slammed th katana with his bladeso hard he dropped his blade and the katana was broken so then the bandit proposed a hand to hand combat fight and Sinobi accepted without thinkgin and so they began fighting hand to hand then bandint thinkoing because he was bigger Sinobi would be more of a pushover but then the bandit did a tricky move and was able to hit Sinobi making him stumbled into a tree but jst then as his eyes where closed Agitro used his heavenly sword techniqe, making him loose his sight but all his other sense where greatly increased so as the fight waged on the bandit noticed that Sinobi was doing alot better ande that his eyes where almost colorless but he paid little attention to that and more attention to the fact that Sinobi was being able to read his moves and counter them with two moves of his own almost everytime so he began cheating and readied his hidden blade wich quickly opoed out behind his palm so it would be consealed but Sinobi heard the very low sound of the blade moving and went on the defensive as the bandit pretended to throw punches but was actually trying to stabb him Sinobi was waiting for the right moment to strike and didnt make one attack for awhile the bandit thoat that he was driving Sinobi back so he continued to attack then Sinobi purposly tangled his feet and fell the ground and as the bandit took his planned oppurtunity and put a all out stabb even lengthening the blade Sinobi heard his heavy breathing and could smell the steel flying through the air and then instantly moved his head slightly making the blade miss then grabbed his arm , kicked his elbow the wrong way and then summoned two lightning clones to hold the bandit in place as Sinobi took out his shuriken and stabbed the bandint point blank in the center of his skull making the bandit die almost instantly then the clones disapeared and Sinobi's sight was restored '' wow that match was alot harder then i thought, i was starting to get a little scared i was only a little from waisting all my chakra...well looks like im walking to...

..buzz saw of electricity zooming at his opponent then finaally he hacked his oppoenent in half then instantly realeased all his techniqes "usually id have a witty remark but not today..." Sinobi then used his wisp himself home in a flicker of electricity that was the same that made his sword so powerful."Good good. You are progressing quickly. That is very good indeed. I will now begin to teach you the other techniques from my clan. Up next is the Minor Electric Current. This technique will allow you to send out a small wave to electricity that will surround an enemy and shock them for a few moments before it fades away. The stronger the user, the stronger the effect of the technique." His sensei then began to take out his two hands and revealed them to hold nothing Then he began to charge them by concentrating his chakra to gather static electricity from the surrounding.After a few short moments his sensei's hands began to crackle with small amounts of static electricity as they coursed around his fingers. He then demonstrated by having already prepared two dummies for them to use as practice. "See those dummies? We will be using them instead of real life targets since with the body being seventy-five percent water, we would not want to shock ourselves when using this technique or on each other. Now watch carefully." He said as he then began to take his hands and point them at the dummies while extending his fingers out.As he extended his fingers, it seemed that the electricity that had gathered at the palm of his hands began to travel out to the dummies in an attack. The electrical discharge was slightly loud, but it was more subtle since there was not much of a reaction from the dummies. The electricity did as it was intended to, shock and keep on shocking the enemy until it slowly faded away. The attack did not last long, so Sinobi could only assume that his sensei had not released too much at once on the dummies and was more than capable of unleashing a bigger attack than the one just witnessed.His sensei then turned back to Sinobi and said, "Well now it is your turn. All you must do for most of these techniques is concentrate your chakra into a physical form that will then become electricity. Once that is accomplished you will basically have the basics down for half of these techniques. For this one you will need to concentrate and then unleash the attack creating a paralyzing effect that will keep your enemy at bay while you have ample or a small amount of time to do as you please within that time frame." He then began to watch Sinobi practice in silence, keeping close watch.Sinobi breathed in slowly and then began to practice gathering chakra with one hand. This would be easy since he was used to molding chakra, but had not really ever manifested it into a physical form for use yet besides creating a chakra-based weapon. Once he began to gather the chakra, he could feel a warm sensation that was beginning to change as the chakra became electricity. Once the electricity course freely around his hand he then pointed it out at the dummies and unleashed his attack. At first it seemed to fizzle, but then charged out of his hand and out at the dummies..As the attack came out of Tin's hands and hit the dummies, the electricity keep on sparking as it then continued to circle around the enemy causing sparks to flare up as they continued and then faded away. Sinobi then looked up at this sensei for approval and saw a nod. He then lowered his right arm and then waited for further instructions. "That was marvelous. Now this next technique will be more of a taijutsu based technique, but will still require some concentration since it does require you to create something using the elements." He said and then waited.,After the momentary pause he resumed his speech and said, "This next technique is called Hands of Thunder Technique. It will allow the one that uses the technique to create gloves that will encase the user's hands in electricity that will give them and extra edge when attacking with their hands. These gloves will allow the user to give shocks to the enemy if the attacks connect correctly." He then began to give a small demonstration of the technique in use. First he concentrated his chakra focusing it into electricity as it began to crackle while it formed in his hand.As the electricity crackled about his sensei's hands, it began to become dense as it took on the shape of gloves that wrapped around his arms. Once the gloves had hardened to a degree the flow of electricity began to flow around the gloves, giving them a bright yellow hue. He then began to jab the air to get a feel for the gloves before returning his gaze back at his student. This is what Hands of Thunder will allow you to do. You will be able to manipulate lighting to your liking in the form of gloves. Now let me show you what they can do when used properly in combat."He then sprinted to one of the dummies and then punched it in the chest cavity. The electrical gloves discharged a spark of voltage that sizzled out of the electrified gloves and into the dummy. The dummy, though made of mostly wood, began to have sparks buzzing about it as it was knocked backward and bounced back. Tin's sensei then continued to jab at the dummy until it was beginning to show signs of wear and he was slightly fatigued, but not too much, only his breathing had changed slightly. He then motioned for Sinobi to come closer to begin his own practices.Sinobi then began to rub his hands together and then saw sparks coming from them. It was a sign that that he was beginning to be able to summon forth lightning without having the need to heavily concentrate on focusing his chakra into lightning. As he continued to rub them together, more sparks came out of his hands and slowly began to circle around his fingers and the palm of his hand until it encased his hand completely. Once the lightning had completely encased his hand it hardened and then became denser. As soon as it was dense, Sinobi punched the dummy with his fist.As Sinobi punched the dummy, there was an electrical discharge from the glove that connected with the dummy and sparks flew out. The sparks circled around the dummy and then sent a small shockwave that pulsated throughout the dummy's body. It seemed to twitch as it was shocked and went into a somewhat paralyzed looking state as it was motionless with sparks that jumped around its body. "Well done. It seems you have a knack for learning the element of lightning then. This next technique is a little fun since it will basically electrify your opponent's body.The Static Electricity Aura Technique is a technique that will inevitably paralyze and shock your opponent's body causing them to be shocked since their body becomes a giant electrical magnet to all things that they touch which will in turn shock them back with painful jolts of electricity. This technique requires you to electrify your opponent and to do this you must transfer your chakra that has been converted to electricity into them. For it to work properly I suggest using a medium of sorts to make it easier like the gloves from Hands of Thunder." He said as he continued.He then walked around toward the dummy and then pointed to it and said to Tin, "Look here. Once you charge up your attack and hit your opponent their body will be full of electricity that they will upon touch be electrified instead of the opposite where they would be shocking those that they touch." He then began to gather chakra in his palm and then focused it into a dense material until it was in the form of lightning. Once the lightning was flowing freely he then took his entire hand and jabbed it into the dummy. The dummy then began to twitch a little.As it twitched there were sparks of electricity that flowed through the dummy and coursed out while causing a static noise to occur. "See this? This is the effect that will happen once you fully get the effect of the technique to work properly. The user's electrical chakra will surge from the gather portion in the user's body into the target and cause them to become a walking fuse box that will be electrified. Now I want you to go practice on this technique after seeing me demonstrate it for you. Is this too hard of a request for you to accomplish?” He asked.Sinobi shook his head and began to practice the technique with as much concentration as he had given his other instructors. First Sinobi began to concentrate his chakra into the palm of his hand and then it began to flow like electricity as it made a buzzing noise. It was the correct sound because the electrical impulses began to become more stable. Sinobi then focused the now potent chakra into a moldable form. As the chakra began to take shape it grew brighter and brighter until it was almost close to pure energy that was flowing out of his palm. Sinobi then slowly took his hand and made a fist out of it.As soon as he made his hand into the shape of a fist, the electricity formed around his hand and then transformed into the one of the gloves of the technique Hands of Thunder. Once Sinobi was ready, he then took the glove and charged it up with his chakra. The glove took the charged up chakra and converted it into pure electricity within a matter of seconds. Sinobi was amazed at the way the glove instantly took the chakra and changed it to electricity within moments of it being formed. The glove was now charged up and ready for use as he slowly pulled his arm back for a punch.The glove screeched with the sound of electricity as it was ready to connect with the dummy. Sinobi then swung his arm forward and the glove connected with the dummy unleashing a large electrical discharge that caused the dummy to recoil to the amount of force that was being pushed against it. The dummy then began to mimic pain as if it was able to animate itself without any strings or a puppeteer controlling it. The dummy seemed to twitch its arms and legs in what seemed to be agony as it seemed to try and escape the pain that it was receiving with each object that it touched.Sinobi sighed as he was a little exhausted from having to gather his chakra and then having to concentrate it into a more potent form of static electricity. His body was slightly shaken since he was also absorbing the static electrical impulses that were escaping from the gloves. It seemed that he would need to learn to master the ability to endure the pain from electricity or at least try to come up with a way to repel it from hurting him as well as the enemy. He lifted his right arm that still had the glove from Hand of Thunder and then released his concentration that held the glove together.As he rested a little to regain some lost stamina his instructor told him that he had done an excellent job at attempting his first try and that he would have to practice it a little more before he could freely use the technique without the need of assistance from other techniques to channel the electricity to empower it. Sinobi nodded and then got back up from where he was sitting and resumed his practice of Static Electricity Aura Technique. He tried it this time without the glove and found that it was rather difficult without the aid of the glove to guide the electricity into the right place. Sinobi then stopped his session when his sensei said that was enough for the day. He then told Sinobi to go inside and get something to eat before the continued again. Sinobi bowed to his sensei and then began to walk inside. Once inside Sinobi greeted his parents and scrounged through the cupboards and found some ingredients for a sandwich. As Sinobi prepared the sandwich his parents came in and asked him how it was going with the training. “So how is the training been going?” His father asked him as he was putting his sandwich together and then began to eat.“It’s going well. I’ve already learned all of the techniques from the instructor from the Dattoumaru Clan. I am taking a small break before continuing with the instructor from the Sinobi Clan.” Sinobi said and then munched on a part of his sandwich. “Ah I see. Well whenever you are finished with the training with my friend from the Sinobi Clan please thank him for me and then see me about further training. “ His father said and then got up and left Sinobi to finish his sandwich in peace. As he left he silently smiled and hoped that his son would do well and surpass all expectations.As Sinobi finished his snack in peace, he wondered what was in store for him once he resumed his training. He knew that there was only so much that he could learn and that he could not possibly learned it all at once. Even with this in mind Sinobi did not care. He knew that from the beginning that he was destined to become a shinobi. How great of a shinobi was a different matter. All that mattered to him was that he accomplished his first goal in becoming a great shinobi and that is to master all of the techniques that were known to his village as soon as possible before moving on.He had an idea of what his father wanted from him and it was for him to travel to distant villages and to learn the ways and customs of other villages to get a better understanding of their ways and to learn their techniques. His father was not as an ambitious man as most other parents that wanted their children to become the best of the best and that meant overcoming obstacles that were next to impossible at all costs only to receive little or no recognition from their own parents. Sinobi finished his sandwich and then stepped back outside into the training grounds ready for another session of training.“I take it that you are rested up and ready to move onto the next half of the training then?” His instructor said as he gulped down water to refresh himself before continuing. Sinobi nodded that he was ready for more of the training. “Good. Let us begin then. Now these next techniques are not going to require a dummy, but you will be the target instead. As you did with the taijutsu training with the instructor from the Dattoumaru Clan, you will be with me, but instead we will be working with jutsu that uses chakra to cause lethal attacks to strike the enemy.I cannot use lethal force against you for you are my student, but instead I will only use a small fraction of my overall chakra. Now prepare yourself because these techniques will be fully of electricity and will require much mastery to be able to fully use them to their full potential. Now this next technique is called Electrical Discharge. It will enable you to stun your opponent with an electrical discharge that is emitted from your body. It will only temporarily stun them, but that is all the time you need to get away or to execute an attack in succession after performing this technique.Now first you will need to concentrate your chakra and form it into a pure concentrated form that will be used to create your electrical attack. It will be the same chakra that has been used for all of the other techniques so far. Once you have your electricity you are then able to touch your opponent and they will be paralyzed.” He said and then showed Tin, the gathered up chakra that was barely noticeable in the palm of his hands. “Now watch carefully since I will be demonstrating on you first and you will be practicing using me when we spar.” He said.He then began to move the gathered chakra toward Sinobi and upon touch Sinobi felt a tingling sensation that left him numb. He felt all of his ligaments and tendons give way and then become stiff and rigid. Sinobi could not control his body for it was being sent electrical impulses that were stopping the normal flow of electricity throughout his body causing him to freeze up. He could not move a single part of his body and when he did try to move it, he only managed to topple over and hit the ground hard. He was stunned with the technique, but within a few seconds he was free.“That is the beauty of this technique and also the true power of it. You charge up your chakra and infuse electricity into it for an attack that will cause your opponent to be stunned. While they are stunned for the short time that the technique is in effect you have time to flee or continue to assault your opponent with a barrage of shuriken to other high level jutsus with more precise aim since they will be paralyzed and unable to move. Now I want you to come at me with the technique while we spar. This will be like any other sparring, just with a twist.” He said as he prepared for an attack.Sinobi prepared for the sparring match by holding his palm out in front of him and then began to concentrate on it to create the chakra that was going to be used to stun his instructor, but before he could finish his instructor rushed up to him and said, “Too slow! You’ll need to be faster if you want to be able to use that at any given moment on the fly against an enemy that is far superior to you in speed and agility.” His instructor said as he then began to dodge all of Tin’s attacks while beginning to counter with his own attacks that were already charged up.His instructor then struck Sinobi about a dozen times in his chest cavity. With each strike, Sinobi felt a discharge of electricity that flowed throughout his body. Each burst of electricity coursed through his body and then it made contact with his nerves and muscles, causing them to become stiff. Crap! Sinobi thought as he tried to push his body’s limbs to move against their already stiffened state. It was pointless since his body had become immobilized and he was now being struck several times within a minute on top of already being stunned.Sinobi tried to move, but it was futile and his instructor then said to him, “You are going to need quicker reaction time if you want to dodge my strikes.” He then stopped his assault to let Sinobi become less paralyzed as the effect wore off. Sinobi rubbed his limbs since they became sore from being stuck in one position for more than a minute. “I guess that I still have much to learn in the agility of a shinobi before I pursue a career in the ranks of Anbu Black Ops.” Sinobi said as he was helped up to his feet by his instructor. “Yes you will have some difficulty, but for now practice.Only through intense practice of the same routine over and over will you be able to fully achieve the required speed and agility that you need...

..aftermath of his attack.There was barely anything left of the dummy. All that was left was the pole that had been used to keep it standing up as well as prop it up. The other dummies were still standing, but now at an odd angle since the shockwave that had followed the attack had bend the poles that held the dummies up. His instructor got up and went over to him and said, “Good. Well it’s about time for me to move onto the next technique that way you can get on with the rest of your training. There are only three more techniques to learn from me and then you will have completed my training.We will now move onto the next technique which is called Lightning Strike. It is one of the most advantageous techniques that will aid you in combat against multiple foes since it deals with lightning as well as dealing damage to foes from a distance. In this technique you will gather up lightning chakra into your hand and then release it into clouds above you and summon forth the might to call down lightning to strike your target. This is one of the few techniques of the Sinobi Clan that can possibly aid you the most next to the last few that I can teach you as my student unless you are part of my clan.If you were a member of the Sinobi Clan then I could possibly teach you much more, but since you are of the Miyanari Clan, only your father can teach you much more than I or your other instructor from the Dattoumaru Clan. There are always clan specific techniques that I cannot teach you and this happens to be one of the few rare cases that I can and also one of the most destructive and hard to master ones as well. For now we will work on summoning forth the lightning required to even create the clouds to change to your whim before we move onto attacking with lightning.Raiken , first of all you need to gather your chakra into the palm of your hand. It does not matter how much, but for now you may use as much as you want, but I caution you to not overexert yourself since it is a rigorous act to summon lightning through this method. You will notice that when summoning lightning this way that the sparks will trail away from you and into the sky. This is normal and is the start of the technique. For now I want you to practice summoning the amount of chakra to create sparks that will trail only a small distance from your body, but not enough to reach the sky.” His instructor then began to demonstrate how the technique would work by showing Sinobi the technique first hand. “First gather lightning chakra into your hand. Then raise your hand high into the sky pointing upward.” He then lowered his right hand and concentrated on gathering chakra into his right palm. Once there was a good amount of chakra in his hands, he lifted up his right palm while extending out his index and middle fingers while tucking the other fingers underneath his thumb. As he did this there was a small spark of electricity that shot out.As the spark of electricity shot out of the fingers and soared high into the sky, it was absorbed into the clouds above. There was a change in the clouds as they quickly began to become more dense and dark with sparks of lightning jumping out occasionally. His instructor then continued to feed more electricity into the clouds that were getting darker by the moment with more electricity being added. When the clouds were ready and charged up full of electricity, his instructor then swung his fingers down and pointed at a dummy. As soon as he did that a spark shot out from the clouds.The spark of lightning shot down at the dummy and instantly incinerated it with lightning. The dummy was still smoldering when the attack was finished as his instructor turned back to his student and said, “That is the basics of how the technique will work if you can properly use it. For now I want you to try and concentrate on just gathering the right amount of chakra and then converting it into lightning to create the sparks necessary to initiate the technique. Once you have those basics down we can move onto the actual summoning and usage of the technique to strike down an enemy.So just practice and I will tell you when you have progressed far enough.” His instructor said as he then quickly left Sinobi to his solo training. Sinobi looked up at the sky and saw that it was getting late, but he would need to learn this technique for it would be beneficial to him in the long run should he have to be forced to use a technique such as this. The clouds that had been charged full of lightning only moments before were now changing back to their normal state and had the white fluffy look of clouds that held no signs of change in the weather or bad omens.Sinobi slowly took his hand and then began to concentrate on focusing his chakra into the palm of his hand As the chakra formed it grew slightly brighter than normal and soon it was full of electrical sparks that it began to radiate as a source of light as the sky began to turn darker as the day progressed. Once Sinobi had the chakra summoned in the palm of his hand he then began to take it and raise his palm higher and higher into the sky and then pointed up with his index and middle fingers while his other fingers were tucked underneath his thumb as he pointed up into the sky.As his fingers shot up into the sky there were small sparks that tried to shoot out, but it seemed that he had only gathered enough to cause small sparks to appear and shoot out in an attempt to reach the clouds high above him. Darn.. Sinobi thought as he then tried it again. He focused his chakra into the palm of his hand and this time gathered more of it and in a larger quantity than last time. This time there was more than enough chakra since it seemed that it was trying to not overflow over the edge of his cupped palm that was trying its best to hold all of the chakra he possibly could.The chakra was overflowing from his palm as it started to leak out excessive amounts that dripped in a liquid-like state, but overall was more or less like that of a fiery flame in his palm. Sinobi then tucked his fingers in and then tried to once again fire a shot of electricity high into the air in hopes that it would make it into the clouds above him and charge them, changing them from regular clouds into weapons that he could use at his disposal. The sparks of lightning continued to go up higher and higher into the sky, but it seemed that at the last minute that it was too short to make it.Sinobi watched as the sparks faded away in his failed attempt to try and get the technique to work properly and then his instructor said, “I told you to wait until I told you that you were ready to try and make use of the gathered lightning infused chakra, but it seems that you were hasty and not ready yet. You have only just mastered how to gather the lightning chakra, but are still far from learning how to properly use it. Now I will tell you that you must imagine that the chakra is traveling up the air currents and through their use will the lightning push itself high enough.Once you can imagine the chakra flying upward out of your palm and into the clouds, it is all about chakra manipulation from there.” His instructor said as he then watched Sinobi try once again. Sinobi looked down at his own hand and saw that it was charred a little since it seemed that the excessive use of gathering lightning infused chakra caused burn marks to appear on his skin. He then continued through with his training and ignored the burn marks on his palm and began to gather chakra once again into the palm of his hand. Sinobi made sure that this time he would be able to launch the technique properly.As the chakra flowed into his palm, he could see it crackle in his palm leaving trails of sparks that quickly dissipated as they trailed away from his hand. Sinobi then tried once again to try and summon the chakra needed to use the Lightning Strike technique properly. Once Sinobi was sure that he had enough chakra he tucked in his fingers underneath his thumb while extending out his index and middle finger pointed up into the sky. The sparks shot out of his fingers as he pushed it out and closed his eyes while imagining that the sparks would reach the clouds.The sparks of electricity flew out of Tin’s hands and high into the sky as the clouds began to gather closer to the sparks. The sparks only had a few more meters till there was no gap between them and the clouds, but seemed to slow down as they got closer. Sinobi began to fee discouraged, but then remembered that he needed to push it up further since he had become slightly efficient in manipulating electricity under his instructor. Sinobi shot out his hand with is palm faced upward and them closed his eyes again as he then focused on bringing the spark of electricity to make contact with the clouds.The sparks had a sudden boost in power and speed as they shot up into the sky, meeting up with the clouds. The clouds began to grow darker as the electricity flowed around in it and soon the clouds began to storm with thunder as the clouds charged up for an attack. Sinobi was a little relieved that his attempt had finally made progress and now he closed his eyes and then tried to concentrate on using the lightning that was being charged up in the clouds. He was worried that even though his initiation of the technique had gone well that he would not be able to follow through with the attack.Sinobi saw that the lightning that was being charged up was racing around in the clouds, trying to escape it down to the ground as the clouds began to rumble with the sound of oncoming rain or storm. Sinobi then pointed his right hand up. As he did this the lightning grew even fiercer in the clouds as it raced around at an even faster pace with more force and speed. Sinobi then swung his arm down and it pointed down to one of the dummies that was still in tact. The lightning shot out of the darkened clouds and made a mad dash for the dummy as it sparked and blazed brightly.The lightning slammed down upon the dummy with such force that it shook the ground and everything around the dummy within a twenty foot radius. The ground continued to still shake several minutes after the attack had died down, leaving only small bits and pieces of the dummy. It seemed that the technique was more destructive than Sinobi had originally intended for it to be on his first successful attempt at launching a strike of lightning. Sinobi the looked over at his instructor and saw that there was a small smile on his face, but then he quickly changed it into one that had a more serious look.“That was wonderful and not to shabby. Now we will take on a more or less supportive techniques that will help you in situations. This next one is called Flickering Light since it will allow you to make your skin light up with a glowing aura. It is highly effective if you are a higher ranked shinobi like that of Chuunin or Jounin, but for now it will only enable you to learn the ability to channel quantities of electricity within your body to the surface of your skin to glow brightly. At Chuunin level you are able to cause the glowing light to flicker and then at Jounin cause blindness.At your current level you would only be able to maybe use it for the advantage at seeing at night, but it would also put you in danger since you would also be giving your advantage away and strategic position is key when in fights that test one’s sense of instinct. Now what you will first attempt to do is to channel your chakra in your body toward the epithelial tissues of your skin and fuse them with those cells. Once you have completed that you can fully master the technique at any pace since at the molecular level you will reign supreme over the physical and chemical aspects of your body.” “First you will try to channel your chakra from your chakra network and move it to the epithelial cells within your skin. Once it is there, slowly fuse the chakra into the cell’s permeable membrane and then you will have a sensation at the molecular level like that of small electrical shocks. You will burn your skin and cause internal bleeding if you take in too much chakra that is in the form of lightning or static electricity since it takes patience and time to use this technique properly since one small mistake will be felt at the higher tertiary level and it will sting.Now I will show you how this technique will work and then after that you will have to try and grasp the concept on your own since it is rather hard to try and explain it all to someone since it all occurs within the cells of the skin and it is at a very small level that is almost next to barely noticeable unless you can feel or sense the slight electrical change.” He said as he then made a hand sign and instantly his instructor began to glow a low dim glow as he radiated his light in the open backroom. He then concentrated more and soon his body glowed even brighter. “Okay well it is your turn now. I am not going to keep on trying to light myself any brighter for at the level of Jounin you can blind someone completely and basically immobilize them, but since I need you to actually see in order to practice I think it would be best to not go that far. Right?” His instructor said as he then gave Sinobi space to practice the new technique without the risk of blinding his own instructor. Sinobi then stood his ground and prepared to initiate the technique’s first few opening steps by focusing his chakra from his body rather than into his palm.Sinobi closed his eyes to try and get a better concentration on what he wanted to achieve with where he was going within his training. With his eyes closed he could clearly see that his chakra network system was already in working order as he was beginning to gather it toward the surface of his skin. The chakra moved slowly as it diffused through the walls of the cells that blocked the chakra from its intended destination which was the epidermis. Once below the epidermis the chakra then was amplified with small jolts of his body’s natural static electricity that flowed through it. Once the chakra was infused with small traces of electricity in him, he took the chakra and began to diffuse it into his cell’s membrane through quick absorption that would not rupture the cell’s permeable membrane as he slid through the passable slim film that served as the cell’s outer protection from imploding or exploding upon itself or its contents out into the rest of his body. As the chakra make its way into the cell it charged small parts of the cells such as the mitochondria and then finally upon the destination of the nucleus the chakra fused itself with it to cause a change in the cell. As Sinobi felt the power of the chakra fuse itself with the nucleuses of millions to trillions of skin cells, he opened his eyes and could see that he was indeed glowing a little bit. It was faint, but it was still a feat that he had overcame and had accomplished and he was a little proud of himself and wanted to show his instructor. His instructor was shielding his eyes a little and said, “Well done Tin. I think you have the main idea down. You can further brighten the amount of light given off by sending more chakra in since you now have a connection to each cell that has chakra in it.With that connection you can easily send and feed in more chakra to the nucleus of each cell as you felt it enter the cell’s nucleus and make a connection with the overall cell when it fused with the nucleus. Well that connection when the fusion occurred caused a small chakra string to be left behind that is still connected with your chakra system network. It will allow you to add more chakra to make the technique brighter as well as withdraw the strings taking the chakra back with it to take away the electrical chakra that could potentially cause harm and disengage the technique.Now that you have some mastery over it I have only but one more technique to each you before I send you back to your father for his own training. My last technique that I have to offer from the Sinobi clan is called the Lightning Clone. This specific technique is one of great value that will see much use in the line of battle if used correctly and will give you a huge advantage over your opponent when it comes to taking the terrain by force. Most clone techniques usually do not have the capacity to do much other than fight, such as this one, but when this clone blows up it causes collateral damage.Let me explain further how this will work. First of all you will summon for chakra that you will then use to create lightning based clones that will be made of pure electrical chakra infused lightning. Once these clones are made they can fight in fights with you, but may only use taijutsu which can, but not limited to, hand strikes and kicks, that will cause jolts of electricity or lightning to be sent into each hit that connects with the enemy. That is not where the fun starts or ends. When one of these said clones is no longer able to fight or it has been defeated, it will blow up.Unlike other clone techniques when a clone “dies” it usually just disappears in a cloud of smoke to signify that the jutsu is no longer active correct and it also tells the enemy and you, the original caster of the jutsu, that the clone is no longer alive. That is not the case with this clone. When it “dies” it blows up with a little surprise for the enemy. It will send out a shockwave of pure electricity infused chakra that was used to create it. So you can only see how this technique could benefit a few that would and could use it wisely since it can turn the tide of a fight even with its own destruction.Now let us actually use this technique. You remember when you made clones in the shinobi academy yes? Well this is the exact same, but it is going to hurt a lot more since the pain receptors are going to be shocked by each touch of the clones that are created by the enemy unless you are the victorious one that wins the fight unscathed. Now prepare yourself since this will be a hands on approach and I will not give you time to think about your moves. Go with your instincts and we will see how far that will take you in this battle for supremacy in the world of shinobi.”Sinobi nodded as he then prepared himself for an attack as his instructor then quickly made a hand sign and instantly three clones made of lightning appeared and soon they were circling around him. There was no warning and it seemed that this was going to be a test of how well he could make a clone when he was already out numbered. The clones that were circling him gave off sparks as they raced around him with the intent on attacking him at a moment’s notice. Sinobi closed his eyes and made a hand sign. Sinobi made his clones mentally after he had formed the chakra hand sign.The clones appeared and split from Sinobi as they appeared in a surge of lightning that came out of Tin’s backside. He was barely able to manage the feat since he had not practiced his clone jutsu in a while and now that he had to create them out of pure lightning and on the fly too, was rather a strain on his body since he was only a Genin and Genin normally do not have the capacity to cast high level techniques such as multiple clones, let alone multiple clones of an advancement such as Lightning Clones. The clones had exhausted Tin, but he was sure that he..

“Yes you will have some difficulty, but for now practice.Only through intense practice of the same routine over and over will you be able to fully achieve the required speed and agility that you need. Now once more and this time try to dodge.” Raiken’s instructor then began to take up his stance again and let Sinobi make the first move. Sinobi got into his fighting stance and held up both of his hands as he began to focus his chakra once more into the finger tips of his hands. Once the chakra flowed to the tips, it began to change into electricity that gave small sparks that flared out. Sinobi had become slightly more proficient and was progressing rather quickly.He made the first move and lunged out at his sensei, but it only proved that the speed behind his attacks were lacking since his sensei dodge the attack and began to counter. Raiken’s sensei countered with his own form of attacks by fusing the electric chakra into his fingertips as well and jabbed Raiken’s arms aside. The jab was felt by Sinobi as he slightly winced and felt the electrical discharge flow into his arm only paralyzing him for a short amount of time. Sinobi then decided that it would have been wise to use taijutsu or any form of non-ninjustu to get out of the way to find an opening.He kicked out his leg to try and knock away his sensei’s arm that was trying to retract for another strike, but instead of striking again, his instructor moved to the side and dodge the kick completely. This was what Sinobi needed as an opening to prepare his next attack. Sinobi spun around in mid-kick and while in the air, he performed a half summersault as he then pounded his sensei with four quick taps to the shoulders in rapid succession. Once the taps were applied, Sinobi then used the momentum from his half summersault to give speed and power to his kick that he landed on his sensei’s right shoulder.The kick knocked his instructor off balance and caused him to be forced to kneel down on one leg before collapsing to the ground. Sinobi then landed on his feet as he turned around to see that his sensei was getting up and then it startled Sinobi at the astounding speed that he saw his sensei move since he could barely keep up with the movements of his hands and could only feel the taps of the fingertips that were jabbing them into his chest. Sinobi the keeled over as his body was rendered useless to him through paralysis. After a few moments on the ground, Raiken’s body began to free up from the paralysis.As soon as Sinobi was down on the ground his sensei pinned him and said, “That’s enough of this for now. We will now move onto the next part of your training. The next technique will not take you long too to learn, since you already know who to summon forth electricity through chakra. You will now be learning how to thrust out the electrical chakra in short bursts that will create a lightning bolt of electricity that will be used against the enemy.” His sensei then helped him up from the ground and made sure that he was not too damaged and tired before moving on.“Now, first of all you need to be able to form electricity out of chakra. We have already done that which is the basic of all the techniques I have taught you so far. Next you will then expel that electrical chakra as in a small discharge, but instead of small sparks, you will get bolts of lightning that will come out of the palm of your hand or the tips of your fingers. If used correctly and in rapid succession, it could be a deadly technique as all techniques if used by a master.” He said as he turned his attention from Sinobi to a dummy to demonstrate the technique.His instructor then shot his hand out with his palms outward at the dummies and instantly within that movement, lightning bolts shot out of each of his palms. The lightning bolts shot out at the dummies and instantly scorched them upon contact as they left his sensei’s outward faced palms. Once the lightning bolts had dissipated, the scorch marks sizzled as smoke appeared from them. Sinobi watched in awe as he looked at his master who turned his attention back to Sinobi and motioned for his pupil to begin his practice of the jutsu. “Alright then Raiken, it is time for you to try.”Sinobi nodded at his instructor and began to focus the chakra into the palm of his hands. He gathered at a slow rate to ensure that he would get the right about. The chakra moved from within his chakra network toward the palms of his hands. Sinobi then turned toward the dummies with his palms filled with chakra that had been gathered. He then converted it into lightning and soon had sparks flying out of his hands as he tried to control the power of the raw lightning. Sinobi winced a little when one of the sparks strayed away from his palm and singed a part of his cheek, but he continued.Sinobi then concentrated his mind on getRaikeng the chakra out of his palms in a blast that would be shot out at the dummies. He raised his palm slowly up into the air and as he did this the lightning sparks trailed behind his hand as he continued to raise it. Once the hand was raised to shoulder level height, Sinobi placed his left hand over his right arm to steady it since he was shaking from the raw power of the lightning that was gathered into his palm. As he continued to shake, Sinobi tried to aim the blast at a dummy, but it seemed that he was shaking far too hard to properly aim his hand.Sinobi tried his best and fired the blast of lightning when he steadied his arm after several minutes of trying to get it to straighten out in the direction of the target that he had chosen. Sinobi then closed his eyes and fired the blast outward. He felt his hand recoil from the power that was unleashed since his hand was pushed back and so was his body as he slid back a few meters from where he previously stood. Sinobi looked up and saw the attack fly out at the target. It was on track until it was slightly deterred from its target since it seemed that Sinobi had not properly steadied his arm Sinobi felt disappointed at not being able to hit the target on this first try, but his instructor told him that it was good enough that he was able to mange to summon forth the amount of chakra to do the amount of damage that he had done and pointed for Sinobi to look up at the mark he had left. Sinobi followed his instructor’s finger and saw that there was a massive scorch mark that was now sizzling out smoke a few feet away from the dummies. The grass had been completely demolished and scorched as well as all of the terrain where the blast had made contact with the ground.The dummy that Sinobi had intended on hitRaikeng was still perfectly unscathed by the attack and it seemed to mock him or so Sinobi thought when he looked at it. It looked at him with its blank face and Sinobi wanted to try again, but his instructor held out a restraining hand and said, “That is enough for now Raiken. I think that you did well for now since it does take a lot to completely try and focus chakra into lightning and then quickly using it in an attack as you had tried to perform. I think you should rest before you attempt it again since that would be best for your body to recuperate.”Sinobi nodded in agreement and decided that he should rest up before attempting to try the Lightning Bolt technique again since his arm was now in slightly paralysis from the raw electricity that had been flowing in his palms earlier. Sinobi sat down on the ground and stared up into the sky and watched the clouds roll along the sky in a lazy fashion. He wished that he could just float around like them, but for now that dream was no where near achievable since he had to train for all upcoming exams that would test his abilities. He also did not want to fail his clan because there was a lot expected of him.Sinobi sighed a small sigh and closed his eyes. He began to drift off into slumber as he let the breeze of the hit his face, cooling him off with its soft touch against his face. Images began to play in Raiken’s mind as he began to recall past events that had occurred in his time during the academy. “Keep up the good work!” His instructor shouted as Sinobi tried to dodge the attacks, but in the end landed on his butt. His instructor offered his hand out to help Sinobi up and he took it while getting off and dusting himself off. Sinobi was embarrassed, but his instructor merely chuckled.Sinobi woke up and realized that it was noon already and that he needed to begin his practices again. He looked up at the sky and saw that there were now new cloud formations in the sky and that he was wasRaikeng time doing nothing when he could instead be practicing the Lightning Bolt technique that he was still a little shaky on using. Sinobi got up from the ground and stretched a bit before getRaikeng ready to attempt a second try and using the Lightning Bolt technique. His instructor was nearby and said, “So you are finally awake. Glad to have you back sleepy head.”Sinobi nodded and began to raise his right hand up and facing outward toward the dummied in the training grounds. As he lifted up his right hand, he concentrated on focusing and gathering his chakra into the palm of his hand. By the time that the hand had been fully raised to shoulder height, there was chakra that was already formed in his palm and ready for use. Sinobi then quickly began to convert the chakra into pure lightning and soon there were once again sparks began to fly out of his hand from the raw power of the electricity that was pulsating out of his right palm as he tried to aim.The arm became shaky as he tried to aim it at the dummy, so he once again had to take his left hand and steady his right arm to make sure that this time the attack would stay on course. Sinobi steadied his arm and re-aimed his attack at the dummy that was five meters away from him and waited for the power of the attack to drop just a little since the first time he had tried to attack using Lightning Bolt; it was too much and sent a recoil that knocked him back the first time, so Sinobi made sure that the blast this time around was not too strong unless he was wrong and his calculations were off.As soon as Sinobi felt that the power of the lightning infused chakra was at only twenty-five percent, he pushed with all of his might to release the blast out of his palm and out at the dummy. The spark of lightning quickly left his hand in a blaze as it dashed out at the dummy with extreme accuracy compared to when he tried it the first time. Sinobi then saw that the lightning stretched out and forked in two and wrapped itself around the dummy before shocking the dummy and leaving scorch marks. There was a small shock and recoil that pushed Raiken’s body back a few feet.As Sinobi slid to a halt he heard clapping. His instructor was applauding him for his magnificent display of the technique. “Well done Raiken. Now that you have some mastery over the Lightning Bold technique it is once again time for you to move onto the next part which to learn another technique from me. This technique is called the Lightning Ball technique. It will allow you to focus your chakra into your hands and throw balls mad of pure lightning at your opponent. Now I am going to show you how it works. First of all you will need to concentrate and focus your chakra.Then you will concentrate your chakra into a dense, compact ball of lightning and then use the same method of firing off a Lightning Bolt when releasing your attack. Now watch.” His instructor said as he then began to demonstrate how the technique would work in proper use. Sinobi watched as his instructor concentrated his chakra into the palm of his hand and then with a snap of his fingers he instantly formed a ball of lightning that glowed brightly and then turned from Sinobi to the practice dummies and fired his attack. The attack shot out at the dummies, leaving a trail of electricity.The ball of lightning made contact with the dummy and exploded in a show of power that knocked the other dummies back and forth as the ground that they stood on shook slightly. Raiken’s eyes widened at the destructive capabilities of the technique and then saw his instructor smile and said, “I’m still a little bit rusty, but that is the main gist of the technique and how it works. It is basically a mini-bomb that is waiting to happen when it makes contact with anything that it comes into contact with including the one that cast it.” His instructor said as he turned his attention to Raiken.“Okay, now I want you to try this. It will be more powerful than the last technique, Lightning Bolt, since it takes more time to gather the power needed, but believe me the results are much more favorable if you use it correctly. Also that last little trick with a snap of the fingers is something that you can play with to try and cause a spark that will ignite the start of the technique.” With that said his instructor then sat down and waited for Sinobi to conRaikenue his training. Sinobi waited a few moments before attempRaikeng the technique because he was rather nervous and shaking a little.Sinobi had finally cooled himself down and calmed himself as well to ensure that he would not screw up this technique like he when he had tried the first attempt with Lightning Bolt. He breathed in a few long deep breaths before he began to concentrate on channeling his chakra into the palm of his hand. At first Sinobi was unsure whether or not he would be able to do it, but after several quick seconds he could feel the chakra move along his chakra network from the center of his body out toward his right arm. As he applied more focus the chakra rushed to his arm.Soon there was more than enough chakra for him to use the technique repeatedly and so Sinobi stopped concentratinng his chakra network to pump more chakra into his right arm and began to focus on creating lightning out of the gathered chakra. Sinobi closed his eyes and molded the gathered chakra into a ball of electricity. The ball of chakra slowly formed at first, but within a few seconds it became a fully spherical orb that was slightly hovering in his palm. Sinobi then focused by further imagining a spark appearing within the orb that was hovering in his hand. He hoped that the spark would not explode.Sinobi felt a small tinge of a spark that came from his concentrated and slightly winced with his eyes closed and then slowly opened them to see that there was a ball of lightning that was hovering in midair that had electricity flowing out of it. It sizzled and made noises as it continued to hover in his hand. Sinobi then began to test the durability of the ball as well as how much of it he could control. At first when he tried to use the ball by making it hover higher into the air, he could only manage to make it float a few inches before returning into the palm of his hand once again.Sinobi was having fun with the technique, but he knew that it was still a bomb nonetheless and he needed to use it for its main purpose which was the destructive use against a target of his choice. Sinobi then faced a dummy and held the ball of lightning high into the air as he aimed with his right arm while steadying the ball of lightning in his palm. Once he was sure that he had a good measure of how much force he needed to apply to the ball to strike out at the dummy he swung his arm down and pushed with a small amount of chakra to get the ball of lightning out at the dummy.The lightning ball shot out at the dummy with the force equal to the amount of chakra that Sinobi had used and it seemed that the ball of lightning was on course since the attack had not veered off course yet and it seemed that there was little sign of it doing so. The ball of lightning continued and then made contact with the dummy. The dummy’s right arm was instantly blown apart by the amount of power that had been packed into the ball of lightning. Sinobi had not accounted the amount of power in his own attack, but had hoped that it was not as destructive as he had thought it would be.Sinobi sighed a sigh of relief when he saw that only the right arm of the dummy had been ripped off in the explosion and not the whole dummy. It seemed that he still had a little more training to do if he wanted to be able to fully control the amount of power and where the attack would hit since he had intended for the attack to hit the in the center of the dummy, where it’s chest was, but instead it slightly veered off course and had ripped off the right arm. Sinobi was a little disappointed, but still felt overjoyed that he had done well on his first try and began to form a second follow up to his first attack.He began by gathering up his chakra once again, but this time focused on gathering them to the tips of his fingers instead for he wanted to see if he could achieve the same kind of mastery that his instructor had demonstrated when he snapped his finger and instantly formed the ball of lightning within a split second of the snap of the fingers. Sinobi then made sure that there was enough chakra in his fingertips before he continued with his practice. He then focused and concentrated on the chakra in his hand and made it slightly charged by infusing some electricity into the fingertips.Then when Sinobi thought that he was ready he quickly closed his eyes, but remembered that he needed them to be open to make sure that he did not screw up and explode himself so he opened them back up. Sinobi then steadied his own right arm by holding it with his left hand since it seemed that he was a little nervous and it was causing him to shake rather violently that his arm was out of control and the sparks from his own static electricity were beginning to zap him since he was not focusing on concentraRaikeng it to stay in one spot and it was rather difficult for him since he was nerve-racked.Once Sinobi had calmed himself down he tried to refocus his concentration on making the sparks of electricity barely appear on the tips of his fingers. When he had achieved this, there were small flickers of electricity that was flowing through his fingertips in addition to the chakra that was already gathered there as well. Sinobi then breathed in one last time and then breathed out to calm himself down before attempting the task at hand. Sinobi rubbed his fingers together and saw small sparks fly out and then

Komen was able to finally get a chance to get back to his training, he had been relaxing and looking over certain things in his life. He hoped that he would be able to get some good training in this go without some kind of incident going awry. He didn't dislike it, it just that it always happened at the most important times in his training. Something that he rather disliked. But it couldn't be helpd since he needed to try and do his job as a faithful Shinobi of Hidden Leaf. He was riding on his boat as he was looking back at the hidden federation, "Hmmm...now than, What is my target this time?" He asked himself as he had gathered more than enough information on the various shinobi teahers in the area. He knew that the Hidden emotion village was a great place to learn some powerful Genjutsu's and that Hidden nightmare was a great place to gather some more sleep based ninjutsu and some more genjutsu's. Komen was mulling these thoughts over in his mind as he crossed his arms across his chest. The boat itself was drifting along the ocean seas, making it's way toward the various lands within the immense Hidden Federation. Komen watched as he was getting closer and closer to the dock located at Hidden Flame. He started to try and remember the bits of information he had gathered that involved this village and the various techniques he had heard. He started to remember a few shinobi medics that lived in this village. He started to think and thought that it would be a good idea to try and learn some more medical techniques. This was his goal before in hidden Volcano, but he hadn't had time to finish his training. He nodded to himself as he had decided that this was going to be his main goal for his duration within the Hidden Flame Village. He crossed his arms across his chest as the ship was beginning to weigh ankor at the Hidden Flame Villages main docks. Komen jumped out of the boat and landed on the docks created footholds. He started to walk toward the main village as he was imagining what his teacher was going to look like. All Komen knew was that this shinobi teacher was named Yarite Konoha. Komen needed to do what he did in Hidden Volcano and hunt out his teacher in order to learn from him or her. Komen began to walk through the village as he dawned his simple shinobi clothing. He didn't wear his ANBU mask, or gear unless he was on a mission, the only thing he carried with him was the two Anbu Blades. The other ready gear for the Anbu was stored away in one of his tobidougu scrolls. Actually most of his weapons are stored within the tobidougu scroll. He started to remember his training with ten ten and thank her in his heart for such a useful technique. Komen continued to walk through the Hidden Flame village as he was admiring the various flames that littered the entire village. Their were a ton of various colorful flames that decorated the streets themselves, making the entire village a rather beautiful place to be. He smirked as most of all the villages he had been too had been very beautiful and simply astounding. Except for Hidden night and Hidden blood, those two places seemed to be either rather disheveled or down right unwelcoming to any that were never born there. Komen looked to see a Shinobi training ground, "Hmmm...maybe I'll find my instructor here." He said as he walked through a giant set of doors into an open field made for training. As he walked in, he could see a class of shinobi training. He watched as each of the shinobi's were training in their famous fire based ninjutsu's. They were all very interesting looking, but Komen was on a quest to go and learn the ways of healing. He knew that he himself had learned more than enough destructive techniques. As Komen was watching, a small group of SHinobi walked up and confronted Komen, "Hmmm you are a stranger to these parts, You should leave before we make you leave." He said with his arms crossed across his chest. This shinobi was about the same heght as komen was but was followed by a posse of his own fellow shinobi. He had about 3 other Shinobi's waiting behind him, showing that this one was indeed the leader, "Is there something wrong with me being here?" Komen asked with a raised eyebrow as the shinobi group and it's leader were smirking, "This place is for locals only. Only Shinobi born and bred in Hidden Flame can be here." He said with a smirk as Komen simply raised his eyebrow again. "Well if that is the case, I'm looking for a shinobi, Yarite Konoha." He said as they looked back to show a shinobi training a few other shinobi in the art of flame control. "Hmmm I'm guessing thats him, I'm going to need to see him so I can learn some of his techniques, please excuse me." He said as he was shoved backwards, "What did we tell you? This is for only the SHinobi born and raised here in hidden flame, go back home to Hidden Leaf." Komen sighed as he dusted his shirt where the man had touched him, "I'm going to have to ask you that you get out of my way, before I have to end all 5 of you." He said as they dissapeared and reappeared around him. "You against all of us? Don't make us laugh, oh wait, you already are." He said laughing as the others were beginning to laugh along with the boss. It was only a few moments and they all started to perform a fire based ninjutsu, "Mythical Fire Phoenix." They all said as they were trying to destroy Komen in a literal blaze. Komen sighed simply as he gathered his chakra in his body and begun to spin in place, "Eight Trigrams, Great Heavenly Spin." Komen declared as chakra was being forcefully expelled and pushed the fire balls away from his Body. They looked shocked as Komen finished his spin. When he came out of it, his eyes were not normal anymore. His eyes were taken by his own Byakugan state. "Oh crap It's a hyuuga." one of the shinobi said as Komen flash stepped and set up his stance, "Eight trigrams 64 strikes." He said as he delivered a powerful array of strikes against his opponent, "1 strike, 3 strike, 6 strike." He said as he was going higher and higher as the shinobi was knocked unconscious. The Shinobi were in a rage as they were trying to gang up on Komen now. "Chakra Connection." He said as his chakra tentacles lashed out from his body, trying to render his opponents unable to attack back and also motionless for his next attack. He seemed to only have entangled one shinobi successfully and sighed. He thought he could end it in a single attack, but it seemed that he would have to drag out this little encounter longer than what he had planned it to be. He charged his chakra into his hand and ran straight for the entangled foe, "Eight Trigrams, Stunning Spike." He declared as a spectral spike, or rather a chakra spike came from his hand and struck the foe,sending a surge through out his chakra network. He was trying to move but found it impossible. Komen smirked as he retracted the chakra spike. He placed a palm on the stunned mans chest and sent a surge of his special chakra directly into the stunned mans chakra network. This technique was a variation on the Eight Trigrams Empty palm technique. The man was knocked unconscious as Komen had damaged the mans chakra network around his lungs and heart. Komen knew that he would live, but it would take some healing before he would get out of the hospital one hundred percent. Komen watched as the Shinobi fell on the ground, almost lifeless. Komen saw the few in the eyes of the remaining three. He wondered if the others would run away, but he was surprised to see that they wanted to continue this attack on him. Komen really didn't mind as he needed to practice his arts against some live targets. "Mystical fire phoenix." They said as the three combined their attack into a rather huge fire ball, aimed to destroy Komen. The other various students were watching as the teachers began to as well. The sparring course was beginning to become routine and they wanted to see a good fight. "Come than." Komen said as he was ready. Komen this time had burrowed unnderground using his inner decapitation technique. The three thought they had him but found nothing and heard no screaming in pain or agony coming at them. A moment later, Komens hands popped out of the ground and wrapped around the ankles of one of the shinobi's, "Earth release, Inner decapitation." Komen declared as he pulled the shinobi into the ground. Komen popped out of the ground soon after immobilizing yet another shinobi. Now their was only 2 more shinobi left to deal with. Komen watched with nothing but a serious look on his face as he was looking dead straight at the leader and his remaining follower. Komen also took notice that almost everyone was watching him and the two shinobi's, formerly 5 shinobi, battle.

Having had Lost Sam to something for he had disappeared Gabreill returned looking around to try to figure out where his new friend Mr Swords, AKA mifune, had gone too. he began to walk around for a while not remembering exactly where they had been before he left. Ggabriell was slightly confused and sad as he couldn't find his new friend anywhere. he thne noticed something leather brown at the edge of a tree. he quickly but quietly walked up to the tree just bit by bit trying not to disturb Mifune if he was asleep as he seemed to like to do whenever he was alone. Gabriell reached the back of the tree and began to circle around the tree with his upper body and head. he soon found himself looking right at a glare from Mifune and he seemed to have a sword ready to draw at the person who could have been an opponent. Gabe began to wonder what it would be that had alerted Mifune so. Mifune contined to look at him as he let his grip off of the sword and took a breath. "my, my Gabriell I figured you were someone here to try to kill me, or enter and take the hidden tree for themselves. sorry i may have startled you. here, have another piece of candy." he said as he pulled out another piece of candy from his pocket once more. Gabriell looked at the candy with a very large childish smile that could easily show how happy he was to get candy. Gabriell quickly took it and smiled as he threw it into his mouth with a very joyful "Thank You!" coming right before it would hit his tongue. Gabriell just seemed to love to see Mifune now because he was always gettign a peace of candy. Gabriell was chomping away at the candy happily as Mifune seemed to have been thinking very seriously about something. Mifune then looked back at Gabriell and pulled the large toothpick from his mouth. "so, do you think that that Sam, kid was up to anything?" he said in a very plain tone which was the same as he always talked, never giving anyone a clue as to what mood he was in other then possibly a grumpy one. Gabriell looked at Mifune curiously showing that he wasn't sure. Gabriell was a very good boy and never wanted to break any rules and standards set by the people he respected and never wanted to have any problems with breaking any of God's rules either. Gabriell began to just stare as he sucked upon the candy enjoying it very much. Mifune then looked at Gabriell, "You know you can talk with that in you mouth, I won't mind." he said very bluntly. he then continued on "Gabriell, When sam awoke he seemed to be in an impatiant mood, he looked as if he wanted to get out of here as soon as possible. he also seemed to have mumbled something about a meeting wiht A Group. I could barely hear him because he mumbled, but that was what i got from him. Do you know anything moe about this Sam Sara character other then just that he wanted to go with you to look for your Holy Grail? did he choose to go with you for power or did he want to get something else on that journey?" he began to aks as Gabriell looked as if he still had no clue, but luckily he was finishing his candy and egan to talk as he swallowed for the last time for eating the candy. "Really I know some stuff from what he had been sayin, but there wasn't too much that he said that i can figure out and remember. I'm still kinda sad about failing out of the Jounin Exams so soon." Gabriell said as small tears began to form in the edges of his eyes. it seemed that he really wanted to pass the exams without trouble. gabriell began to tear up a bit more and a few started down the edges of his cheecks when he realized that he was crying, he quickly began to pull the tears back and began to quote a holy modo of his own, "With our blessed father there is no need for sadness or tears as failure will just result in more oppertunities to succeed later on." he said as he regained his composure and seemed to act a little older. whenever Gabriell would recite anything abotu the lord he would always seem older, like he was in his twenties and a preacher. Gabriell then looked back at Mifune who seemed curious as to what had happened. mifune stared for a second as Gabriell sucked it up enough. "so, what had happened to cause you to be dropped out of it?" he said and looked up still holding his sword close as always. Gaberiell looked into the air too and began to think as he thought, "well, lets see, when we got there we were told we had to choose a road to go to the jounin exams. there were three, they didn't give us much information on each one and just told us to pick one of these: *cough cough* there was the long road, the short road, and the easy road. when i had got there, everyone seemed to have been picking the long road and I didn't want to be misslead by any one else. so i decided to take the short road. then someone else showed up and decided to take the same path as me..... Oh and another person came shortly after the one did. he took the easy path. I wonder what happened to him? anyway, me and Kyoshou were walking down our path and we found that once we had started in going a little ways there was a giant sign, or whats that word for huge signs you put advertisements on? a, um, a, uh.... oh a billboard. yeah thats it! there was a billboard on the road that said you fail and pointed us out. I was kinda depressed about that so i decided to come back to check up on you two, but now hes gone.... I want to go find Sam!" he said loudly. Mifune began to laugh slightly as he looked at Gabe, "well you've done a good job on a good deal of stuff. I think you chose right not to let others be responsible for misguiding you. on that note lets go see if we can find Sam, where do you think he had gone to?" mifune finished asking curiously it was basically time for them to leave the hidden federation and look for somewhere else to train as they needed to find Sam, and learn some techniques.
