Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius

Shikarama would appear behind Hariko in the mist. he took his hand, disappearing through the boy's shadow, before dragging him off to another part of the Afterlife. They would reemerge safe and sound in another zone, that had been turned into a small forest by Shikarama's will. He turned to Hariko a serious look on his face. Hariko would turn to him, confused at first, but he would then bow lightly. He asked the Nara what he was doing in this place. Shikarama would readily explain then. "Hariko...I'm going to need your help. I'm sorry for the inconvenience... but, you are needed to help take back the Hidden Mist village."

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius

Shikarama raised an eyebrow at the question. It seemed this mist ninja wasn't a true mist ninja, as one would think. He bore a hatred for his village, a hatred shared by many who bare kekkei genkai. Though many are revered for them, others were feared, either as weapons of war, or as threats to the village itself, or from simple fear or jealousy. Hariko asked him again where they were and how to escape. With a sigh, Shikarama told the Mizu,
"This place here, is the afterlife. It is a place where the minds of the dead go in their death. There is no return for many. However, for some, like yourself, if you body remains intact in your death, life eventually returns to it, and your mind, held here in this form for now, can return after a certain amount of time. You, by now are well enough." Hariko inquired how he would be able to do such a thing, the come back to the body he had left.
"By now, it can be done whenever you wish. You need only will it, think about it, direct your will towards it. Just as in this world, your will controls the ether, your will to come back is what ultimately allows you to come back. I remained in Gear for awhile when you died, and made sure your body was safe and your items unmolested. I had to leaf to learn about the mission to save the mists, but you are well and may return readily." To Shikarama's pleasant surprise, Hariko agreed to help them. He asked who it was they were facing in the same process.
Shikarama informed him. "Its the man we faced before at the exams. The Joker. I, the former kage of the mist, and others will need you to assist us." He told the black-haired boy. Hariko then assured him he would help, though made it clear, he would do so only to repay Shikarama, Shikarama would take that fine. As long as he would assist them in what was necessary. Hariko turned, apparently ready to leave.
Shikarama, however, gripped his shoulder and told him, "Before you go. You may wish to train here for a short while. This world's ether contains the minds and wisdom of the many greats whom have long since left the world of the living. Many of the great kage, for instance, have left their mark here, and their abilities can be learned from." Hariko glanced back, seemingly interested in this idea.Shikarama, then concentrated, and and the area around them shifted into a large structure, somewhere in between an arena, and a memorial. It was the perfect place, in his mind to not only test their skills, but draw upon the power of those long since passed. Hariko watched in awe as it formed. Once he finished he turned back to Shikarama smiling. Hariko would tell the Nara that they wouldn't go easy on him, if training was what he really wanted.
Shikarama would begin by forming hand seals. He would suddenly toss numerous kunai into the air, before releasing A large wall of wind. Wind Style: Multi-pronged Trap. The wind wall carried the kunai at Hariko in a wide spray. Hariko responded quickly, raising his shields as he moved around, dodging and blocking the storm of kunai. Shikarama formed the snake seal as the numerous kunai were revealed to each have explosive tags placed on them. Hariko responded readily with a series of hand seals. He exhaled a wall of water that absorbed the explosions. He then responded with a spray of senbon towards Shikarama. Shikarama quickly jumped above the spray, He formed seals in the air. Fire Style: Blooming Great Flame He quickly released three fire blasts down at Hariko. The mist ninja intercepted them, with the large spheres of water that pierced through and overpowered the fire. They continued at Shikarama, would was unable to dodge while in the air normally.
Thinking quickly, he prepared more seals. Wind Style: Stream he would release a powerful gusting wind that pushed him through the air, out of the way of the water spheres. It would also release a thick cloud of dust into the air to block Hariko's view. that, however, wouldn't hind Hariko in the least, unknown to Shikarama. From the dust, a burst of concentrated energy flew at him. He opposed it with another jutsu of his own, again forming seals. Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets Multiple wind bullets clashed with the attack and Shikarama would drop down. He waited for the dust to clear. As Hariko's position became apparent, he would release a new jutsu against the Mizu. Flying Nail Mist Pierce He would spray out a large spray of nails, almost like a mist. the nails would fly at Hariko, who responded with a quickly jutsu of his own. More energy was gathered into Hariko's fist. He slammed his fist out as a spray of smaller energy blasts were released from it, impacting and blasting through the nails at Shikarama. Shikarama opposed all these with his own technique. Wind Style: Cutting Dust He released a cutting wave of dust and wind against them. Hariko ducked this.
While Hariko ducked, Shikarama immediately released another jutsu, causing the nails that scattered the ground to suddenly sink in. Night Lightning Bolt Nails would suddenly rise up again, flying at Hariko from all sides at high speeds. Hariko formed ice over his body, creating a layer of icy armor that protected him against the nails. He raised a hand in front of his mouth then. Sharp hailstone formed in his hand as he blew them towards Shikarama.
Shikarama seeing the ice shards coming at him, produced another jutsu to take them out and reach Hariko as well. Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere He released a large sphere of wind which smashed through the shards and moved to Hariko, impacting his armor. The Armor was left shattered by the impact. Shikarama quickly followed up with another attack. Fire Style: Burning Ash Accumulation He would release a large cloud of ash towards Hariko. He would click his teeth, causing an explosing to travel along the ash cloud as it advanced on Hariko.
Hariko responded to this with an attack of his own. He released a powerful Jet of water against the ash cloud, pressing it back and hindering the flames and explosion. Hariko stomped on the ground then with his next seals, a strong, slicing jet of water flew out as Shikarama. Shikarama fell back into his shadow. He reappeared, moment's later, behind Hariko. He ducked down with a smirk, forming his hands into a tiger-seal like formation around a kunai. Konoha's Most Secret and Sacred Taijutsu: 1000 Years Of Death He would stab at Hariko with the technique. Thankfully for Hariko, he managed to react in time. Jumping and flipping over Shikarama, the battle would continue.(2x)

Shikarama Nara, The Dedicated Genius

Shikarama would turn, just as a shield was slammed towards his face. He raised his hands, blocking and being knocked back by the blunt side of the shield. He grabbed several shuriken and threw them at Hariko, before forming seals. Shuriken Shadow Clone The small number of shuriken rapidly multiplied into into hundreds. Hariko released a storm of small ice birds, countering and deflecting the shuriken. The ice birds advanced on the Nara. Shikarama responded quickly, Fire Dragon Flame Projectile And with a series of hand seals, inhaled, and then exhaled a thick jet of flame that overwhelmed the birds and moved to hit Hariko. The Mizu acted defensively, using the ice prison technique to black the flames. Number rectagular prisms of ice rose from the ground, blocking the flames as the melted. Once the flames and ice faded, Shikarama would get in close. He would duck down, slamming his foot straight towards Hariko's chin, managing to connect and sent Hariko into the air. Shikarama moved under him, and began his attack. His leg slammed towards Hariko's side, but Hariko moved his shield to block it. Then His fist would come down from the other Side. Hariko partially blocked this again. Shikarama would continue the assault, moving in with an elbow, then another punch as he drove him towards the ground, and at the moment the Mizu would hit the ground Shikarama would sent a heel kick into Hariko. Barrage of Lions Shikarama would find, each of the strikes had been at least partially blocked. The shields greatly reduced the effectiveness of the attack. Hariko rolled to his feet, striking and swipping at shikarama with his shields. Shikarama grabbed his chakra blades, raising the trench knives in preparation to fight. He ducked past the shield delivering a punch with the blade, only for it to be blocked by Hariko's shield. Hariko pushed back, deflecting Shikarma's blade away before slamming a kick towards Shikarama's stomach. The Nara was knocked off his feet by it. He flipped back to his feet and delievered a barrage of strikes with the trench knives. Each and every one of them impacted the shields, not managing to make a hit while the shields blocked and Hariko dodged and side-stepped around the attacks. Shikarama ducked, delivering a sweep kick. Hariko jumped away from this. Shikarama followed up, forming a seal. Shadow Possession Jutsu His shadow extended out, flying after Hariko.The Mizu formed seals as well as he dodged back to avoid the shadow's touch to his own. He used a genjutsu, known as Jinzou Invisibility. He and his shadow disappeared from Shikarama's view. Shikarama prepared his own jutsu to deal with this. Hariko, beyond Shikarama's senses, would come in, attacking him with an ice blade attached to his arm. Shikarama activated the jutsu. Genjutsu: Flower Petal Escape To Hariko, he would burst into flower petals. Moments later, they would flow to Hariko and, in the illusion, begin dissolving his body. Shikarama would be able to break out of the illusion with this and moved behind Hariko

Shikarama raised his chakra blade, as he concentrated, directing his chakra flow through his chakra blades, paticularly his wind chakra.Wind Style: Flying Swallow Invisible blades of chakra extended from his trench knives. Hariko would managed to escape the illusion before turning and managing to block the first trench knife with the ice blade. He then moves to jump back as Shikarama swings the second blade. The invisible blade would manage to cut Hariko lightly. Shikarama then quickly threw both charka blades towards Hariko's legs, running his shadow chakra through them as well. Shadow Shuriken Imitation Jutsu

He avoided the blades, but appeared to have been caught,when one of the blades appeared to hit Hariko's Shadow. Shikarama smiled, but the smile faded, as a puff of smoke erupted from Hariko, revealing a log, wherever he had gotten that from in this place. the substitution jutsu had been used. He turned, facing Hariko, who reappeared, the both of them breathing heavily before they would continue for awhile longer.

As the fight would come to an end, Shikarama and Hariko would both be left exhaughsted, but well trained. Shikarama would smile to Hariko, before turning. "I've given you all I could. I'll leave you to complete your training here. If you can think of anyone else who can help us, please contact them for the cause. I will be in leaf with Adell until we are ready to begin and head to mist. Your body should be safe where it is." With That, Shikarama would open a portal, and, glancing back, step through it.

Hariko Mizu, The Cold Demon

Hariko turned from there, deciding to continue working by himself. For the moment, he would meditate. He would concentrate on gaining all the wisdom he could from the minds of those passed, those who still dwell within this world, who had left their mark. He would sit down and close his eyes, concentrating. His mind drifted to those of the past. He attempted to connect with them. With his concentration directed in this manner, he felt some connection, some force being drawn to him. As his eyes would open again, the ethereal form of a figure would be apparent to him. It took shape, and as moments would pass, he found himself facing before him, the Second Hokage. Normally, of course, the second would be called upon by those with more noble hearts and purposes. Ultimately, though Hariko was doing the right thing, for a reason that wasn't ultimately bad As they looked to one another, their minds became more connected. The Kage spoke to him.
"You seek to grow stronger, all in order to retrieve the village you hate from an ultimate evil. It is such a strange idea. I wouldn't call it noble, but, your desires and reasons are ultimately worth my wisdom.'" Tobirama would have to admit, he had dealt with far worse as well. An uchiha, and a fallen sannin had sought their wisdom long ago, during the fourth shinobi war. It had been the sannin who had used him and the first to try and destroy the leaf, only for them to be consumed by a shinigami, alongside the third. Ultimately, the sannin and the uchiha released them from it. Thde Uchiha sought advice of what vengeance and right really was. The Uchiha had once gone down a truly dark path, becoming nothing more then pure evil. And the sannin who assisted him had been the one who pushed him in that direction. It was a truly strange event. After the advice was given by him, the first, the third, and even the fourth, they had been drawn into the war, ressurected to fight for the side off the Shinobi against Madara, Obito, and the power of the ten-tailed beast. It was during that war, more legends were born, and some were lost. Against all odds, a nearly god-like being, a resurrected legend with infinite chakra, and a mastermind, seeking to bring the whole of the world under his control. Thanks to the efforts of the shinobi, victory was ultimately handed to the ninja of the world, and their samuri allies.
The second hokage opened his eyes, and offered him wisdom then. "It is in the hour when one fights for more then themselves that one shows their true strength. It is when a common enemy comes to be, that hate can end. Use this fight, use this chance to return to your home, to find forgiveness in your heart, I warn you. You understand what it is to fight against forces stronger then yourself, and no the suffering of losing those dear to you." He then formed seals as he looked to Hariko. Hariko would stare at the kage with a calm, nearly emotionless expression. The boy heard his words, but it was hard to read if his wisdom and truly and fully reached him. With that, the second hokage would release chakra and form it directly into water, displaying the power of his skill. Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu From the water a serpentine form took shape. Then, at the tip, the water formed the head of a great dragon, that floated above them.
The second hokage continued "Firstly, I offer you this jutsu. The water dragon technique. With it, you may rain down power upon those who threaten your cause. I hope your cause will grow towards those you care about, rather then vengeance." Hariko stood up, forming his own seals as he copied those of The second hokage. At the same time, his mind shaped the area around them, forming a lake nearby.
"I don't know that I can abide by your ideals. But I thank you for your wisdom and the strength you offer me." As he spoke, he completed the jutsu. Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu tobirama Senju would raise his hand then, concentrating water around it, as their previous jutsu both disappeared. The water began swirling around his hand, forming a drill. He concentrated as the drill continued rotate, before growing and then shrinking in size, revealing its capability. "this is my second gift to you, the hardened water Drill technique. With it, you may pierce the barrier that hold you in and reach those who hold you back."
Hariko would nod to him, before concentrating as well. He gathered and directed water chakra around his hand. Water Style:Hardened Water Drill He then began spinning and shaping it. It formed a point at the tip around his fingers. Even with its small size, he did feel the power in it, strong enough to punch through most armor with ease. He increased the size until it resembled a sword in length, before allowing the drill to disperse. He bowed lightly to the second.
"I thank you, for your wisdom, and your power." With that, the second hokage would disappear.
Hariko continued, once again moving to meditate. It took several minutes, but someone new would appear before him. This was the Second Mizukage. Where as Tobirama Senju was more calm, stoic, and reserved in his mannerisms, the Second Mizukage was more relaxed and casual in his appearance. He smiled gently to the boy. This was followed by a sigh, as their minds connected. The boy had been of a clan persecuted many times in the past, a disgraceful and sad reminder of the problems in their village. "My fellow shinobi of the mist..." They both frowned at this. Hariko no longer considered himself a member of the mist. The Second Mizukage knew this, however, the boy was still willing to defend it and save it from the shadow that enveloped it. True, he did so out of a felt obligation towards someone else, but this was proof enough, there was some light in the boy. "I offer you this wisdom. Do not allow yourself to be consumed by your hatred, nor your goal. Learn to relax, to enjoy life while you still have it. Learn to take those good moments, as many or as few as you are, and be with those whom you care for. Living life for life itself, can warm even the coldest of hearts."
Hariko looked down, closing his eyes for a moment, as he opened them again, the Mizukage raised his hand, pointing his finger above Hariko. Suddenly, Water had formed at the point from his finger. In the next moment, it was released at high speeds. Hariko watched with interest, before standing up.
"This is the Water gun technique. You need to concentrate your water chakra into a single point at your finger tip. Then, release it as a bullet." Hariko thought about the technique, recognizing the resemblance to his bow technique in nature. He raised his hand, pointing his finger upwards, before following the Second Mizukage's lead. Water chakra flowed into his finger, concentrating at the tip. Water visibly formed, becoming a single small drop. When it had fully formed, he suddenly released it, letting the water fly with great speed above them both.

Hariko Yuki, The Cold Demon

Hariko bowed again from the technique he had learned. The Second Mizukage smiled now. He had to say he was impressed with this boy. He had only see this technique once, and the boy managed to replicate it Beyond that, he had also replicated the signature techniques of the Second Hokage as well. The talent and potential this child held was undeniable.
The Second Mizukage clapped his hands for a moment, congratulating him. "You are truly skilled. I've rarely ever seen such a quick learner. It is a shame, we could not have met under better circumstances. You've known the worst side of the village. When I ruled it, I sought to bring peace. Ultimately, though, my life ended in defeating my greatest rival. Since then, others have taken my place. Some have lead it down a less then honorable path, others were manipulated by outside forces." He referenced Obito's taking control of the Fourth Mizukage, the former jinchurikee. It was around that time that the true discrimination again Hariko's people began. However, the first massacre would not be the last, under Mei Terumi's leadership, the clan would find the chance to be reborn, individuals with the kekkei genkai returning together. Then, as times and wars came and went, the clan would be again assaulted by villagers, politicians, and other ninja alike, again and again, and again, each time nearly driving the clan to extinction. In recent times, some level of peace has been gained, but it is a waning peace, and those of the Yuki clan were still feared for their unique kekkei genkai.
"Alright now, I have one more technique to show you. it is arguably the most powerful of my techniques. It is a unique form of water clone jutsu, drawing on hydration. One produces a water clone, infusing the clone with oil as well. The oil for the technique forms a layer around the water, acting as the skin. It begins rather small, but as it fights and moves, the oil layer heats. This layer heats the water within, and the clone expands. Eventually, it expands so much from this that the oil is unable to contain the water. The water explodes out as superheated vapor, producing a strong explosion. The vapor then will rise up. As it does so, it will cool and become water and hail.The water will return to the clone, and cool it back down while shrinking it. The shape and form of the clone can be controlled, to an extent beyond this. It is, for all means and purposes, the ultimate water clone." The kage began to seals. He formed the water and oil from the technique straight from his body. It took the shape of a miniature form of The Second Mizukage.He crossed his arms, alongside the clone.
"Now then, you try." Hariko would nod. and gathered up his chakra. He directed his water chakra from himself into the nearby lake. A black liqiud emerged from him as it flowed into the water and shaped itself to form a perfect clone. Well, "perfect" would be a exageration. It was actually nearly perfect. It was miniature, like a small, little chibi Hariko, matching The Second Mizukage's own Tyranny clone in its small size. The Second Mizukage smirked softly, still amazed at the rate on which the child picked up on such things. The Second Mizukage concentrated as his clone moved around them at high speed, much faster then any normal clone could do. Hariko replicated the moments with his own clone, managing to match the speed. They both appeared to have some strain from it, as the clones moved away. Each clone would expand greatly as time went on, heating up inside and outside. Then, in a single glorious moment, they would explode in the distance, spreading superheated steam and raining down hail, the clones shrinking and reforming. Hariko actually smiled a bit, as he watch this effect. Moments later, the clones dissipated, liquifying and becoming their base make-ups.
"You've limitless potential. I hope you learn to use it well, and find a path that is right for you. Just remember, life is not ultimately of violence, vengeance and death. Learn to enjoy it while it still lasts... and don't make the mistakes I made, or the mistakes of my predecessors."
Harikot placed his hands together, and one final time, bowed in respect, as he looked up to the kage. "I thank you, for the wisdom and power you have given me as well." The Kage would look to him for a few moments before slowly fading away.
Hariko, having learned all he could would close his eyes, imagining himself overlooking the land of the mists. As he opened them again, he found himself in a land that replicated his own home. Perhaps, somewhere, deep in his heart, he missed the village. But, there was a divide here. A shard of hatred still remained embedded in his heart. A hatred towards those whom had hunted down and killed off his clan, those whom had forced his clan into hiding. One part sought to return to his village, maybe find what he could of his family. But there was another part of him. This one that sought that veangence. It could not bring itself to forgive the village. He knew what the kage had both said. However, he couldn't take their advice, not completely. And he wouldn't apologize for that. He concentrated, knowing it was time to leave. He imagined himself returning to his body. He imagined reaching to it, and re-entering it. A portal formed in front of him, and he slowly stepped through it. He disappeared from this world now.(2x) (exit)
