        Through the pain, fighting it with everything he had, Muu tried to look down at Riku's hand, trying to figure out what exactly was happening to him and what he could do about it. Because at that time all Muu could think of was that he was dying. He could see the dark blue light, mixed with black streaks and some kind of purplish light. he wasn't sure, the pain was white hot in his chest and he felt like all the nerves in his entire body were on fire. Finally, there was a huge pulse throughout his body, Riku's grip was gone, so was the searing constant pain, and Muu flew back, landing on the his back and sliding a few meters before coming to a stop. He didn't move a first, smoke rising form his body. When he did start to move, he discovered he wasn't physically injured at all, surprisingly. He got up on a knee, and realized even after all the pain, he was just very sore, and confused. He put a hand on his chest, feeling it and casting a confused and furious gaze at Riku, ready to tear him a new one.

Instead of seeing Riku, he saw another figure, one that looked oddly familiar, yet totally different all at once. The "person" if you could call it that, had Muu's face, but sharper teeth, like fangs, dark red eyes that glowed in the dim light of the cave. His body seemed more built, more masculer then Muu's own, and his arms were longer, and dark green with red tattoos on them, and ended in sharp monstrous claws. He was a little taller, and had dark green horns on his head, and a long green tail. If Muu had seen this beast anywhere else he'd have assumed it to be a demon. Where the hell had this thing come from?! An eerie dark blue mist came form it's mouth, as it opened its jaws to breath, a hellish grin spreading across its face as it looked at Muu.

"Here is you're inner self Muu Yanagi. Do you not recognize yourself in the light?"
Muu blinked, looking around quickly, but not wanting to keep his eyes off the beast in front of him for long. The cold monotone of Riku had sounded from around the cave, as if projected from speakers, but Riku himself remained unseen. Whatever, if this was who he had to beat, resetting his gaze on the alliterate him, then he'd have no trouble. He felt his power surge up within him, obeying his will. Muu channeled that power to flow into his arms and hands, careful with how much he released into the air around him. he had gotten quite good at how he handled his chakra lately, being forced to use it in larger amounts, for bigger jutsu and then sustaining them, this had become a sort of reflex really.
"That abomination is nothing like me..."
Muu muttered, his voice full of distain.

The air around him and his Dopplerganger grew cold, and a breeze seemed to eminent form Muu's person, blowing his clothing up around him. In a moment, a blue light seemed to glow around his frame, his eyes even glowing blue for a moment as his chakra welled in him. He flew through a series of hand signs like it was nothing, holding the final seal, the tiger seal, and grinned, showing his own sharper then usual teeth. All around the duo, water began to materialize, in their own separate spots. Muu's power was a work, gathering and creating water form around the molecules in the air and making water, more and more of it. This water quickly formed mirrors around them, first the ground level, twelve mirrors all floating off the ground and separated by air but in a short distance. Then more above, eight in a mid section, tilted in some to make a solid dome. Finally above, a large single mirror formed to seal them off totally form the outside.

The light blue glow around Muu faded, and the water mirrors froze over simultaneously, as if the temperature of them were all dropped at the same time. Muu's arms also dropped to his sides, all soreness aside, he was down to business now. All the mirrors were suspended in the air, floating there, held up by seemingly nothing, but it was really Muu's power, his will and chakra that gave them life, and the hand signs that gave them structure, compelled by his will and mental image of them. The Anti Muu looked around at them all, in awe almost before settling it's eyes back on Muu himself. It seemed... happy, grinning from ear to ear with its horrid teeth showing like daggers in his mouth. Muu looked disgusted and pissed at the same time. He wanted to smack that look off that face, and he'd get his chance. All at once the beast of an imposer of himself came dashing towards him.

        His eyes widened for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden impulsiveness of the anti him, Muu braced himself, as the monstrous version of him threw a punch. Muu blocked it, but was sent sliding back on his feet, the force was incredible. Much more then Muu himself could muster physically. Using his head, Muu would have guessed his opponent was a taijutsu user, because that kind of punch typically only came form people skilled in those arts, but wasn't he was supposedly fighting himself? Now he was sure that this wasn't him. The deranged, nearly psychotic look on the monsters face made Muu want to vomit, but he settled for rushing back at the beast, ready with his own attack. Before he could do anything the beast threw another punch, Muu ducking under it this time, coming up to drive his fist into the anti him's stomach.

The hit connected, but the beast didn't so much as budge, it seemed to freeze, then looked down as if annoyed, a silly grin on its mouth. It grabbed Muu's torso with it's free hand, the hand itself was so large it practically fit around his entire mid section, and then simply tossed him aside. Muu hit the ground rolling before he stopped and got his feet under him. He looked back at the beast, anger burning in his eyes, and the monstrous him turned slowly to face him, like some simplistic animal or as if he were in slow motion. The mere thought that Muu was anything like this creature went through his mind again, and his anger turned to a rage, his expression showing it greatly through the ruffled brow and hate filled eyes.

"Theres no fucking way you're like me!"
Muu yelled at the monster, seeming to give it some kind of joy. It grinned again, and dashed at him once more, its speed greater this time. It seemed to be enjoying being some kind of visual taunt to Muu, and each outburst seemed to only enthrall it more. Muu spat and jumped backwards. A giant hand reached out to grab him by the head, but this time it wouldn't find it's target. Muu had collided with one of his frozen mirrors, and slide inside of it as if it were made of water and not solid ice, sending slight ripples over its surface. Once fully within the mirror, Muu looked out to see his doppelganger stumble as he tried to stop his momentum and fall against the ice mirror with a solid thud. Muu grinned devilishly to himself, at least this was something he could do that his counter part could not follow. The beast him began to hit the mirror with both fists, furious that his prey had escaped him but yet remained within site, until Muu vanished, sliding away to the adjacent mirrors and beyond, looking for the best place to observe the reaction of this monster.

Resting in the top most mirror, Muu looked down to see how "Dark Muu" would react. It seemed simple of mind, stopping once Muu was out of sight, letting out a terrible growl or roar that seemed to make the air vibrate around them. It paced between the mirrors, looking in each one and past them, even trying to pry his way past them but to no luck. It seemed like a caged beast, getting madder by the second. Muu watched as he turned his back, giving him a clear shot at the back of the beasts neck, and he didn't hesitate. Muu jumped down, moving fast, and punched the opposite him in the back of the head with all his strength and momentum behind his fist. The beast almost moved at the last second, but instead took the hit and fell forward, crashing to the ground. Muu himself landed on his feet, standing about where his counter part had been moments before.

Casting a cold, calculating look at the fallen monster, Muu waited to see what it'd do next. The beast slowly got to it's feet, hiding it's face. Suddenly a subtle sound started up, a low rumble. It grew and grew, putting Muu on edge and causing him to take a defensive stance, and step back. The rumble became a clear laugh, a chuckle growing into an uncontrollable, twisted belly laugh, as the monster rose to it's feet, and turned to face Muu once more. It had cracked it's head on the stony cold floor, and a small trail of blood ran from it's hair line down it's face, but it's eyes were what captured Muu's attention. Blood shot and insane, it looked crazy and Muu couldn't look away. He saw something in that gaze, something that reverberated in him and captured him. As much as he denied it, something in that monstrous gaze connected with him... While he was mesmerized, the beast moved. In the blink of an eye, Muu was nose to nose with it. Blinking in shock of the astounding speed, he could barely start to step back before a monstrous hand grabbed the side of his head. He was literally caught in the claws of the monster now.

            Muu didn't even have time to blink. Once the hand was on his head he could only watch, as if in slow motion, his doppleganger moved. The demonic grin and saliva falling from it's moth, and it's other overly large fist came swinging up to meet his face. One hit connected, and Muu took it in the side of his face, the fist almost the entire size of his own head. Rearing back, a second hit connected, jarring Muu and sending him flying. He hit the ground in a roll, unable to stop himself while the pain flashed through his skull and ears rung from the impact. He only stopped moving when he bounced off the ground and hit one of his solid ice mirrors.

He slowly struggled to his hands and knees, trying to open his eyes, the ground spinning in his blurry vision. Finally the world came into view, and he saw drops falling to the ground. Crimson drops of his own blood as it slowly floowed from his nose and his lip and fell to the ground. A pulse was throbbing in the side of his head, but he looked past it. Looking up he saw his thrilled adversary, who howled in enjoyment and began charging him again. No rest for the wicked it would seem. Muu rose to a knee and glared at his enemy, it was clear in a straight fight, he'd lose. His copy was stronger physically, and faster. He'd have to be smarter. So as he rushed him, Muu stood up and fell backwards.

As if there was nothing behind him but air, Muu was absorbed by the ice mirror to his back. It was time to let his anger fall to the waist side and embrace his own talents. He was to be a demon of the ice, he'd be smart and strike carefully until he could fall his opponent. If he was fast, Muu would show him true speed when utilized through the mirrors. He was sure nothing was faster. He recalled that he was even faster then Riku Nagai when he used them, or at least fast enough to land solid hits. If he had to hit this monster one thousand times to bring him down, then thats what he'd do. One way or another he would fall.

Once fully inside the mirror, Muu wasted no time in vanishing, moving from side to side, up then down, all around doing his best to remain untraceable. His doppleganger howled in protest, punching the ice mirror he'd vanished within hard enough to make it shake. He then looked around with a stupid confused look on his face, putting his back to the mirror. Suddenly Muu was in the mirror again, jumping out with both feet, and planting them both in the back of the beasts neck sending them both crashing to the ground,with Muu on top riding the demon like a surfboard.

Once on the ground, Muu jumped up with all his strength, effort straining his face as he leapt into a mirror on the second row. The monster jumped up almost before Muu was fully in the new mirror, dust still hanging in the air as he huffed and growled in anger. Small strikes. He might not be strong enough to take this thing down in a few blows, but he could maintain the strikes, he might be able to force it to tire itself out. Moving once more, he watched as the beast turned to look in the opposite direction. Seeing another chance Muu raced out of the mirror, pulling back to punch the beast in the back of the head again. But something was different. Instantly, the monstrosity turned and stared at the incoming Muu with a terrible grin on it's face. Had it planned this?

        This was unexpected, and probably the worst thing to happen. Here he was in the middle of the air, flying to a totally aware, physically superior and sadistic monster who was bent on seeing him bleed. He'd been tricked. He thought the beast was incapable of forethought or predictive thinking. He only assumed it was as intelligent as a beast, but this presented the idea that it was a competent creature, maybe even more human then Muu gave it credit for. Never the less, those were thoughts best saved for when he wasn't about to be beaten to death.

The Anti Muu reached out an over-sized hand as if to catch Muu's head like it were some kind of ball thrown at him. Muu spun in air, rotating his body and grabbing the wrist of the beast and using ti to pull him in close to knee it in the chest. It hadn't been expecting the strange acrobatic move from Muu, and although Muu hadn't much experience in Taijustu, so the blow was minor if that, it was enough to confuse the beast and give the green haired boy a chance to push back and bounce form the cold stone floor up into another mirror. The entire conflict maybe laster five seconds. But as the anti Muu saw his prey escape, and other howl of anger replaced the terrible grin he'd had moments before.

Breathing quickly, Muu's heart was racing. That had been way to close for comfort. The creature was thinking, and more aware then he'd anticipated. If he made a mistake like that again, he'd definitely pay for it with more of his blood. First things first, he had to see just how fast this thing could react. So as he started to strafe to the side, moving between mirrors, he started testing the waters, moving across the empty space from mirror to mirror. It seemed that as soon as he left a mirror, the beast turned to look in his direction. As if he had some sort of sensing ability when Muu was outside of the mirrors, and then it stopped once he entered a mirror.

However he did notice a delay. He had maybe three seconds. As he moved between the mirrors that were further apart, it would turn to look for him, but if he moved to closer mirrors it didn't notice at all. He tested this theory a few times, causing the beast to jerk it's head this way and that way, making it madder still as it's prey toyed with him. He huffed and puffed but he was always to late to find Muu. It stumbled as it tried to catch him again, and Muu saw the weakness, flying from a mirror and kicking the beast in the side of the knee. There was a sickening crack and pop followed by a howl of pain. Muu didn't stop to look, he dashed into the nearest mirror again, and slide between a few more before he finally stopped.

As he surveyed the creature, he found it rolling in pain, clutching it's leg. He saw a dark solid thing, the bone sticking from the leg. It was odd, unnatural. Then something even stranger and even sickening happened, the anti-Muu grabbed the leg, bone and all and with a loud snapping and crunch, he forced the bone back in. As if it were an extreme battlefield medical tactic Muu had never seen or heard of, he reset his leg. A moment of pain and then his adversary rose to his feet. A few more grunts and he seemed fine, angry and looking around with a determination of rage on his face, but his leg seemed fine. Blood soaked, but he seemed fine. How the hell.... did he heal?! If he could heal like that how was Muu suppose to beat him, was it even possible?! He'd have to reevaluate, or something. Maybe this just meant he had to hit him harder. Shaking off the shock, Muu glared down, tightening his expression and reaching behind him. He drew his short bladed tanto, it was time to get serious, it was time to get deadly.

        With the blade in hand, eyes locked onto the target, Muu began to move. His adversary was searching, yanking his monstrous head from side to side as he looked between the mirrors to catch a glimpse of his prey. It truely appeared to be some kind of deformed bear, a hulking mass, feral and hungry for blood. Muu held no more remorse for it, as he slide effortlessly between the mirrors of the second level, occasionally gliding down to the first level and circling the beast. It was unaware of him, still looking around every which way. Now Muu was by no means an expert with the blade in his grip, but all he needed was to make the sharp part meet the flesh of his enemy, and at his speed that would be more then enough to inflict the damage necessary.

In a flash, Muu exited the mirror, swinging the blade across the back of the animal version of himself. A ear splitting roar erupted from it as a clean slash tore out of it's back and fresh dark red blood splattered the ground. Before it could react and turn on him, Muu was already inside another mirror and moving to the rear position of the beast. As it looked in vain for Muu, the green haired shinobi dashed from the mirror directly behind him, pulling up with the sword and slashing up, sending more blood soaring upward. Roaring and spinning around with it's to large hand, it swung wildly for him, but Muu ducked and jumped back into the mirror.

These annoying, minor attacks were seemingly nothing. Mere annoyances. The slashes weren't very deep, not enough to cause anyone something more then pain and fatigue, but over time, if he could inflict enough of them he hoped it'd give him the edge in a fight. It might not be the best strategy, and this type of attack was gonna start wearing him down from the effort soon enough, but being tired and being injured were two different kinds of fatigue, and one would end in death. As he moved between the mirrors he knew he had to act again soon. One of the downfalls of fighting this enemy was that he healed. Muu had already witnessed this first hand, and the longer he waited the more he'd heal.

So as the beast turned once more, Muu moved out of the mirror, one of the second level, and rushed down to bring the blade across it's back once more. But this time, as if motivated by the sense of animalistic anger or urge to kill, the beast spun with more speed this time, it's large hand slapping Muu out of the air and down to the ground. Rolling over himself a few times, Muu finally regained his barrings, rising to a knee, and bringing the blade to a ready position. But the anti Muu was already on him, rushing him with both large claw like hands open and reaching for him. Muu slashed at one of them, cutting through the dark green skin and getting a grunt response as it jerked its hand away.

But he wasn't fast enough to cut the other hand, and it grabbed Muu's arm, jerking him to the side and off balance. Muu retaliated by stabbing the tanto into the thick forearm muscle of his enemy. A cry of pain spilled forth as Muu was released. But the other hand came smashing into him, as a huge closed fist connected with Muu's jaw and sent him flying. The fore of the hit had caused Muu to release the short blade and sent it sliding across the stone floor, invisible under the light fog over the ground. His deadly weapon was no lost to him, and before he could even get to his feet, a terribly powerful knee connected with his ribs, sending waves of pain through him, forcing all the air out of his lungs and a little blood with it and launching Muu into one of his Mirrors. He hit the ice hard and bounced off it onto the floor. He gasped for air, this had gone south fast. Just a few hits and Muu was near his last legs. He tried to see through the black spots to find his enemy, but how much longer did he have before he died here?

        The pain was to much now, Muu couldn't even make his way to his knees. The ground felt cool, but welcoming. Dark spots danced in his fuzzy vision and the warmth of his own blood covered the right side of his face. He could feel it soaking in his clothes around his right arm and side as well. He wasn't sure the extent of his injuries, but he knew that much of his body was sore, and even worse he was feeling a terrible numbness. The kind that comes from the exhaustion of maintaining jutsu like the Demonic Ice Mirrors. All the strain and physical pain was to much, he closed his eyes slowly, this might be it. Death during training by some monstrous version of himself... thats not how he pictured he'd ever go.

His last coherent sight was of his doppleganger moving towards him with a terrible smile on his face, blood and drool falling from it's mouth. NO, he wasn't gonna die here, not to this thing! Forcing his eyes open, a cold determination in them, he pushed his aching body to his feet, and although he was shaky, the balance he normally had escaping him, he stared down his attacker. The rise of his prey was a challenge to the Anti Muu who picked up his pace to a trot. Muu spat out some blood from his mouth and stepped back on his shaky legs, into the ice mirror he'd bounced off previously. This time he'd have to make his next strike or few strikes really count, he knew he was at the edge of his time for the Ice Mirror technique, and he'd suffered more physical abuse then he could really take. Every second this went on now was a huge risk.

He moved to the side within the mirror and up, but then back to the original mirror he was in. He couldn't move far, na dhis speed wasn't that great, but that was due to his injuries. However if he didn't try to move fast then using the mirrors to escape would be pointless. Surely if this beast wanted to get to him, he'd hit the ice long and hard enough to shatter them. This way he sent the beast on a path trying to find Muu instead of just hitting something. From the moment Muu had vanished the thing had begun looking around, and Muu took advantage of the close proximity the thing had to the mirror he was in, and it's moment of distraction. Drawing a kunai, Muu lunged out of the mirror, howling in rage himself and mustering up all the strength he had left. He took hold of the beast by the back of it's thick neck and thrusted the kunai deep into it's chest.

Shock filled the monsters face, and it simply fell back, bringing Muu down on top of it. Hot, darker then normal blood poured out over Muu as they fell, and there wasn't so much as an attempt to struggle from the doppleganger. ON the ground, Muu ripped the blade from the too large body, and discovered he'd pierced the heart of his enemy, it had died instantly. He'd done it... he'd utilized the ice mirrors and won, beat a seemingly to powerful foe. Then something strange took placed, dark smoke began to pour from the body under him, and the dark blood began to move. While his attention was captured in interested and surprise, as if it were from a living organism, the blood dashed at Muu, wrapping around his arms and body like liquid chains. He struggled and cried out, dropping his kunai and pushing himself away from the body, but it was to no avail.

Muu was pulled into the mass of dark blood, black smoke, and lifeless corpse of his Anti self, and everything went black.

        Emptiness. Muu tried to open his eyes, but he saw nothing but blackness. Nothing solid was under him, and it felt like he was floating, but he felt no water. The strangest feeling he'd ever experienced. The only constant was the gentle throb of his sore body, it was all he had that reminded him he was alive. Alive maybe, but lost certainly. Then the booming voice came to disrupt his silence.
"Being lost, alone, and cold. Those are the feelings that will follow you now. When you know who you truly are, who you have to become, you will understand. They are not always feelings that are admired or appreciated, or even desired. But for what you will have to do as a Kaishin.. they are necessary."

The voice of Riku was gone, no echo or revelations... just emptiness as suddenly as it had come. But was he wrong? What was the point of fighting something like that, an anti version of himself? Maybe... if he was being honest.. that thing wasn't really the opposite of him. Could it be that was what he really felt like, what he really wanted all prosonoified into a physical being? There was a side of Muu that was cold, calculating and dangerous, but he was still young. Even though he was young that was his second real kill, well.. real to him. As a kaishin, especially with this new technique, he'd kill many more. Was he ready for that? Could he be a cold blooded killer?

Then he opened his eyes. He was standing back in the cavern, his tanto and kunai were at his feet. Riku was nowhere to be seen. He blinked, much of the soreness was gone and his body felt.. fine. Stronger even. His ice mirrors were gone as well. reaching down he put the kunai away, and looked into the blade of the tanto, finding his reflection, looking into his eyes. They were sharper then they had been when he'd entered this place. He knew he'd changed, more then just in appearance. His ripped and tattered clothing was nothing. He knew, not even very deep, he was a killer, and it'd only get easier to get over from now on.

Muu flicked the blade around and retired it to the sheath on the small of his back. He was a true kaishin now. Soft blue lights erupted on the far side of the cave. It grew until a clear shape of a pathway could be seen rising up and out of the cave. The voice came back, softer, more distant but still very clear.
"Go now young Kaishin. Know your true self, embrace it and it will keep you alive. Death is no longer something to fear, but a gift, a companion of the Kaishin. The cold embrace is your own."

Muu blinked slowly and began walking up to the light. He was confindant in his new abilities, but was still a little weary about death being his companion. He didn't desire death to follow him everywhere he went. But in the end, if thats how it had to be, he'd just have to make sure he directed death in the right direction.

        Before leaving however, Muu stopped. He turned to look back at the cold, eerie cave. Was he about to leave without really seeing the total fruits of his labors? he had no idea how much time had really passed in the "real world" but he'd invested a lot of time and effort down here. He cracked his neck and planted his feet, after all that he was gonna test what he was now capable of. as his hands slowly rose to met in front of his body, he let his chakra whirl within him. He felt the power, cold and strong, like a powerful wind, the icy chill powerful enough to freeze any body of water in seconds. That was the power he held, time to put it to the test.

Closing his eyes, he let his fingers flash through the signs of his jutsu. It was a long string of signs, but he preformed them effortlessly. Reaching the final sign, his hands froze in place and his eyes opened in a flash. He felt the rush of cold air rush out of him, filling the space. A light fog covered the ground around him and out of thin air, water began to collect, and appear, whirling around to form liquid mirrors hanging in the air. They formed a circle, then another level of them. They moved and swayed as if blown by some invisible wind, before snapping straight and freezing over. Finally a single mirror atop completed the dome. Muu watched them all, as they completed the evolution, becoming solid and perfect mirrors of ice.

He stood int he dome he'd created, admiring his work. He walked tot he nearest mirror, and placed a hand on its surface. He was satisfied with it's perfection, then pressed in, and watched as his hand phased into it, as if it were a solid pool of water and not solid ice. Then he removed his hand, and smiled, closing his eyes and snapping his fingers. At the snap, all the mirrors simultaneously shattered. As the shards of ice fell around him, the sound of glass hitting the rock cavern floor echoed. He began to walk once more, very satisfied with his new control and ability. Could any Kaishin match him now?

Jouseigen [Imperial Restraint]
Rank: C
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Creates shackles of ice from water vapor in the air or other bodies of water, restraining the target.
Special: Ox, Dragon, Rabbit
Drawback: Has little effect against targets of higher rank. In most cases, shackles don’t eliminate movement, but rather restrain it.
Description: Upon forming the hand seals, the user creates several shackles of ice from water vapor in the air (or elsewhere) in order to restrain the opponent. These shackles are most commonly used to bind an opponent’s hands in order to interrupt long strings of hand seals. Bound permanently to the ground these restraints are capable of limiting movement but not eliminating movement. (The chains themselves are immobile.) Once the shackles are in place the target is held for three turns, adding an additional turn per rank the user is above the target, and subtracting a rank per rank the user is below the target. When first learned the user is capable of forming two chains of ice. Each time relearned they may form an additional one.
Limit: Kaishin

        Stepping out of the cold and into the abandoned warehouse, Muu took a deep breath, releasing it slowly. He was still in the cold, the empty warehouse he'd retreated to had been left un-cared for, for some time now. There was no power to the building anymore, and the only light came in from the roof, a few windows and holes in the walls. BUt the space was great, sure there was some clutter, but nothing to bad. He'd decided to hide away in here to test out another ability. He was to far from the kaishin dojo this time and figured, why the hell not. The ability he wanted to try out was pretty simple, he'd seen it preformed before by higher ranks of the kaishin and decided if he wanted to surpass them he should learn it as well.

So he took a few steps into the gloom of the warehouse, cracked his knuckles and took a few calming, relaxing breathes. He stopped walking, standing about in the middle of the space, and planted his feet about shoulder width apart. Closing his eyes, he visualized the hand seals for the technique. They were simple enough, and he'd memorized them simply from seeing them a few times. After watching them in his head for a few minutes, lightly muttering the name of each hand sign as he did, he felt confident he could do it himself. SO he tried, bringing his fingers together, and letting them go through the motions of the hand signs until it felt fluid, until he though he could preform it at full speed. Opening his lazy looking eyes, Muu set his determination, digging his feet in a little more.

He felt his power build within him. He set his sights on a broken down tricycle that was just a few meters in front of him. He let his hands flash through the practiced signs and held them together, he felt his power pour out of him and race ahead. From the ground around the tricycle, two dark blue chains made of ice, burst fourth at the bike. However, instead of wrapping around it, they smashed into it, creating a clutter of broken ice shards and pieces of bike. That.. was more destructive and not as restrained as he would have preferred it.

Plus there was the problem with that not looking the way he desired it to. Muu was well aware that a large part of preforming jutsu was in visualizing how they'd come to life, and that was no how he wanted to bring his Imperial Restraints to Life. Back tot he drawing board, at least on execution. He had the right amount of chakra, just wrong appearance and delivery. He wanted to hold a target down with this technique, not completely destroy them. He had plenty of other jutsu for that cause.

So Muu closed his eyes and let out a huff of air. He saw a dark area, a single street with a few lights hanging over it. He tried to imagine the best way to restrain a target. Imagining a person on his dark, mildly lite imaginary road, he pictured the best way to hold them down with two chains. He'd prefer more then two, perhaps five or six, but that'd take more time and he could work on that alter. For now, how would he best restrain a target, that was his question.

        The vision clear in his mind, Muu could see the figure of a shapeless man on his dark road. He imagined two chains shooting from the darkness above him, wrapping around his arms adn pulling him airborn. Surely that was an effective way to subdue someone, but what if they weren't simply standing there waiting for it to happen? So in his minds eye he released the man, and made him run forward. Now, under the assumption that the enemy is running towards Muu or away makes no difference. Just that he was running. Then the two chains erupted from the ground around the figure, wrapping the arms and pinning them to the torso. The figure was caught on the chains, and fell to the ground.

Yes, the second vision made Muu smirk. That would due to restrain a target more effectively and didn't rely on another resource, such as a wall or tree next to or above a target. Opening his eyes, Muu instantly let his power rush through his body. Letting his chakra pool and gather in his arms and hands, he locked eyes on a half destroyed crate. It was made of wood, and even though it was broken, it seemed to still have decent integrity. Bringing his hands together, Muu felt his fingers dance through the hand signs. Landing on the last seal, He let out a slow breath of air, and dropped to a knee instantly, slapping his hands on the cold stone floor.

He felt it like a ripple of invisible force, his chakra raced out of his hands, and spread across the floor. From around the create he'd been watching, not even two seconds after his hands had touched the floor, two thick chains made of pure dark blue ice shout out of the stone as if fired from a gun. They wrapped around the crate until it was fully entangled and then pulled tight, as if yanked back underground a few feet. The pressure and weight of the chains crushed the box some, but it maintained its shape, shaking a little from the power from which is was now held.

Now he knew that this wasn't a permanent solution. The level of technique this was, it was not meant to hold something or someone down forever. Just a few moments at best. He'd have to come up with another way to really restrain a target if there happened to require transport of them or need to stop them completely. Muu grabbed the chains and pulled on them some. The sound of the ice hitting together was similar to that of metal but different. He was satisfied with it's strength and wight, at least this would be a new trick he'd have.

        The all to clean smell of anesthetic was unmistakable, as Muu walked through the halls of the medical training area designated in the Yukigakure Hospital. He'd been here many times in the past, and would be here much more now in the coming future. It was once again time to expand his knowledge and expertise, what little he had, in the area of medicine and medical ninjutsu. He was here today in fact to work on the entry level ability of the medical profession, Healing Hands. Sure, that one ability was the staple for all medical ninja, and Muu wouldn't be able to ignore it.

If he desired to advance at all, it was the main technique he'd have to master. This was because, as all medical shinobi knew, it was the base for all medical abilities pretty much. With more knowledge and certain understandings you could augment this technique to heal burns, cuts, increase regeneration of others, heal from frostbite, even from severe dehydration and even loss of limbs and organs. The level of which you could heal depended souly on your power level, experience, and effective master of the healing hands ability.

Sitting down at a desk, Muu opened up one of the many scrolls on the table. Instantly, a small puff of smoke erupted from the paper, and a fish began to flop around in front of him. Muu was ready, he'd seen this down, and even practiced it himself before. He instantly held a flat palm facing the creature, and grabbed his wrist with his other hand to steady it. Then he began, slowly and carefully feeding chakra through his arm and into his palm. He was careful, too much chakra and he'd overpower the fish's system and kill it, possibly popping it's heart, to little and he wouldn't be able to keep it's blood flowing and keep it alive.

It had to be perfect, his control. Medical ninjustu and overall abilities utilized chakra in a special why when effecting other organisms. Control was everything. Sure for bigger, more complicated jutsu large chakra pools maybe be required, in some cases multiple medics would be called on. But essentially, meticulous chakra control was always a must. Without it, no healing would be possible, and you'd do more harm then good. The soft green light that emitted from Muu's palm bathed the little fish in the light, and allowed it to flop there, gasping for water, for air that it could not get. It was a form of tourtue if you thought about it, but sadly, there wasn't a safer way to practice this without possibly hurting someone.

Muu felt a little bead of sweat fall from his hair line and down his cheek. He was distracted by it, and let his concentration falter. Sadly, that was all it took. IN that moment, his chakra surged, just ever so slightly, and the light soft green glow brightened, and the fish spasmed. It then laid motionless on the desk. Muu blinked his lazy eyes at it, reaching out to hold it, examine the body. He'd done alright, and he understood the technique pretty well. It was unfortunate he couldn't do more, but he knew, like anyone else would, without water to throw this guy back into, it was destined to die.
