---

Hitora slowly approached the doorway of the merchant’s shop. The mission Hitora had been contracted to do was to protect the older man as he made his travel to the bank and deposited this months earnings within its safer walls. Hitora was dressed in his dark colored skin tight suit. Some have described it as being pitch black, across his chest is a blue symbol stretching from the right to the left side of his chest; it depicts a small avian creature, in the color that can be best described as true blue in its shading. The skin tight suit covers all but his feet, covering him from the neck down to the ankles, his hands were covered in onyx gloves, not part of his suit naturally.

On his feet he wears a pair of matching onyx combat style boots that reach up to just under his calves. Around his waist he wears two simple, over-lapping black belts that somehow manage to stand out against the rest of his attire. Included upon his belt is at least one small pouch that he uses for holding his items and such. On his gloves there are small adjustment straps as well as small bumps on top of the knuckles that could increase the strength of a simple punch sometimes. The collar of his suit reaches up to roughly one inch short of his neck, the onyx parts forming a sort of “V” shape with a small gray part inside the “V” stopping a few centimeters from the top of the black collaring.

On his face, covering his eyes is a simple black mask with opaque white that he can see through on his side, much like a one-way mirror. He has thin black eyebrows that can be very expressive at times. The Mask covers his face from just above his eyebrows to just under the middle of the zygomatic processes of his face. On his belt he wore his butt bag, within which he carried many items and finally on his legs were his greaves, now made part of his boots for better protection of his legs and feet.

Inside the butt bag were two knives, six kunai, fifty-seven senbon, a single sting grenade, a four inch flashlight, sixteen glowsticks, all fifty-seven of his zipties, a gravatic pressure bandage, a multitool, a pair of binoculars, a single baseplate compass, a smoke pouch and an ice pouch. Finally around his neck and plugged into his ear was his wireless radio with its single earpiece so that he could hear radio chatter if need be.

After checking on each of his items to make sure he had everything he made sure his gloves were fitted nicely and knocked on the door of the shop, waiting for the older man to come so that he could start his escorting mission.

[N A T S U M I]

The shop building was a one story craftsman store. A large window sat at the surface of the shop while the door sat beside it. Hitora was capable of looking into the window to see the interior having numerous tools dealing with a craftsman had been littered about upon long rectangular tables. A figure was inside the building hovering around the counter with a large sack in his hands. The shopkeeper had been counting his earnings and was putting them inside the bag before rushing over toward the door and locking it.

Upon seeing Hitora the man narrowed his eyes and hugged the sack to his chest. His hair was greying while wrinkles adorned the man’s features. He wore a simple green cap on his hair and was dressed in overalls of the same colour. A two inch long beard fell from his chin. “So you are accompanying me to the bank, son?” He asked. The voice was nothing but a rasp, suggesting that during his youth he had shouted plenty of times and had once had a deep voice. He regarded Hitora with suspicion yet awaited an answer.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

With a short and crisp nod of his head, the young shinobi said “I am, yes sir.” Hitora then looked at the old man, wondering if he had been a craftsman all his life or if it had been the trade he had picked up only later on in his life. Hitora then moved a few feet away from the door to allow the man space to exit the building.

All the while the young man showed the elderly one all due respect for his age as well as a man who apparently had some wealth saved up lest why would he be paranoid of losing it? Hitora then waited for the man to start walking, wondering if anyone really would attack such a frail old man…

The rain fell as it always did as the young man waited out in the heavy downpour. Hitora's hair would be plastered down to his forehead, obscuring the view of it as it always seemed to do in this torrent of rain and wind as this village was well known for.

[N A T S U M I]

The man seemed satisfied by Hitora’s reply and began walking down the long, narrow street. The man’s shop was in the centre of a large T section. So should Hitora and the man be standing directly outside the shop on both the left and the right side of the two gentlemen would be a street while directly opposite the store was another street. The man was heading down the street opposite his store.

However, the bank the man used was at least two more blocks away which meant that the hike down the street was soon going to meet a turn. Just as the two men were about to meet that turn, a large man with markings upon his face walked out of the street to Hitora and the man’s right. He wore a pair of black ripped jeans, no shoes and a singlet with a large hole in the abdominal area. His head was bald yet his left eye was a milky white while the right was a dull blue.

This man was also accompanied by two smaller, twig-like boys, one with a shield (heavy), cropped black hair and wearing a pair of black overalls without shoes while the other wore the same but wielded no weapon. However, should Hitora observe this man carefully, his legs appeared slightly muscular beneath the black overalls he wore. “Going about another monthly walk to the bank, are you old man?” The large man asked, his buddies snickering.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

As the two men walked down the road, they would suddenly be stopped by a large man and his two smaller companions, looking at the three only one would seem to have any sort of weapon, that being a shield, and it was in the hands of a small man. The larger man looked like he could be made of a large degree of muscle though he didn’t seem to bright from a glance. It seemed that the merchant’s paranoia had been correct, gently extending his left hand, while his right folded behind his back and into the bag on his hip, Hitora almost herded the older man behind him.

“What this man is doing is not of concern to you gentlemen, I suggest you be on your way lest you be on your way to the hospital or worse and I doubt your families can afford a hospital bill nor a coffin.” Hitora then slowly pulled out a kunai in his gloved hand, and held it level between him and the trio of men, he then lowered himself into a somewhat defensive posture and waited for their next action.  Hitora also hoped that the elderly gentleman that he was guarding would take this as a sign that he should step back a few steps, to let the young shinobi do his work.

The following are all passive moves:

Buttoi Jouhi (Thick Skin)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: An elemental resistance towards the body as the body gains a certain style of tough skin, as the bones grew tougher, the muscles grew tougher along the whole body to where elemental techniques are numbed down slightly.
Special: ---
Drawback: They must have endured great pain before hand. Things such as broken bones, broken ribs, ripped muscles along the body. If there was nothing that has happened, no broken bones within learning other techniques, if the Brawler was never harmed, then this does not occur. This technique only resists to Elemental techniques. If the technique slashes, and pierces it still goes through.
Description: Ever wondered why a man could not drown, or someone being execution by electricity and yet still being alive. This is where this technique comes into play. This technique enables the Brawler the capability of withstanding elemental attacks as their body becomes greatly adaptable towards on coming attacks. When the user learns this technique the user is capable of withstanding "S" Rank Elemental attacks reducing the power down by one rank. It is capable of reducing "A" Rank techniques 1.2 times reduced, "B" Rank techniques down to 1.4 times reduced, "C" Rank techniques down to 1.6 times reduced and "D" Rank techniques 1.8 times reduced.
Limit: Must have mastered Kentoushi by going into five hundred training points into it. Automatic after five hundred training points.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Damēji Heri (Damage Reduction)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"

[N A T S U M I]

Hitora, your Damage Reduction technique requires that you have the B rank in Second Sense, which you do not have. So therefore it is void.

Upon being spoken to by the larger man, the elderly man’s eyes widened before he immediately turned toward Hitora. “Do something!” He hissed only to see that the genin had already drawn a kunai from his bag. The larger man laughed at Hitora’s remark and gestured for the shield wielding man to step forward. “I am afraid that this man has owed us money for some crappy weapons that we asked him to make for us a few weeks back. So that sack of money he is holding will do nicely as payment.” The shield user said, speaking in a gentle soft voice. The shield he had strapped to his back was then removed and repositioned upon his right arm.

“Hand it over, old man and you and your flunky won’t be harmed.” The larger man said through a sneering glare. The distance between the shield user and Hitora would be eight meters while the shield user awaited for any kind of move. The reason why neither man had attacked the genin or the elderly man was because they were giving out their final warning. Next time, the pair may not be too lucky..

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Quickly placing the Kunai in his mouth by its handle, the young man let a small surge of chakra enter his legs, and soon he was gone. A puff of smoke was all that was left behind by him to prove he once stood there, when he reappeared, he was right in front of the largest man of the group, not even at the full range of his Shunshin, Hitora was merely a few inches in front of the man more than within range of Hitora’s striking distance and hopefully the large man had no way of knowing where he was.

Hitora then without warning struck out, putting more than enough force behind his punch that if it were able to connect with the man he would be rendered unconscious for some time. Though Hitora wouldn’t stand still long after that, he would leap back about a meter or two and then shout at the opponents “HEY YOU LIMP DICK ASSHOLES! I’M OVER HERE! FIGHT ME! IF YOU CAN KILL ME YOU GET ALL THAT MAN’S MONEY!”

Hitora was obviously trying to taunt the opponents who could still hear him and react, since their leader, if that’s what he was, would be unable to move for a bit if the earlier punch had hit him.

As the Enemies hear the sounds and the insults a sudden feel to attack the user comes forth as they all rush towards the user attacking violently.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

((OOC: Thanks for telling me, I removed it from my bio and made the appropriate changes, farewell Brawler Mastery!))

[N A T S U M I]

The shield user spotted the quick movement and had already countered the genin’s shunshin with one of his own. Once Hitora stepped out of his shunshin, the shield user would already have shoved his shield against him, using his strength to allow for the genin’s body to be jerked back a few steps. It wasn’t an overly harsh shove, but it was enough for Hitora to stumble back. The shield user now stood directly in front of the larger man, smirking.

Meanwhile, the unarmed man, would immediately spring into action. His light footing allowed him to drift around Hitora like a leaf on the wind. His movements positioned himself right where Hitora would have stumbled back to should the contact with the shield prove successful. The unarmed man would deliver a quick jab toward Hitora’s face in an attempt to knock him over. “If you wanted me that bad, son you could have simply asked. But first, you need to get through my friends, here.”

That came from the larger man whom crossed both his arms while the shield user stood before him. It seemed as if the unarmed man had decided to begin round one. The elderly man remained standing where Hitora had left him, clutching his bag of money with a horrid look on his face. At the moment, that very look clearly showed his doubt for his temporary escort.

Effect: After or during being attacked, the user will push their shield forward in a heavy bump to push attackers back, damaging them and give the user some breathing room.
Special: Utilizes the same principles as Forward Bump.
Drawback: Takes longer to perform than Forward Bump. Has less effect against higher-class recipients.
Description: A higher-level version of Forward Bump, this attack is much heavier and slower to use, but it greatly increases knockback and damage. Instead of a light tap to stagger enemies, the user will draw themselves back so far that they will actually take a small step, before heaving themselves forward and smashing their shield into anything close, likely knocking them off their feet and pushing them up to ten meters. This distance is halved for every class above you the enemy is. After two ranks this stagger no longer affects them. Recipients of this attack will take a “C”-rank of damage.
Limit: “Bear Claw Stance”, “Bear Claw – Forward Bump”, “Bear Claw – Block” for “C”.

Unarmed User:

[/b]
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A quick, straight punch thrown with the lead hand from the guard position.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Stand with your feet hip distance apart. Step your right foot back 18-24 inches with the weight of your right leg on the ball of your foot (right heel is somewhat elevated and the knees are slightly bent). Bring your right fist close to your right cheek bone and your left fist slightly in front of it about jaw height. Pull your elbows in towards your ribs so that they line up somewhat below your fists. Push off of the ball of the right foot, bend the left knee slightly and start to extend the left hand in a pushing type motion (there should be a subtle rotation as your left hand goes forward your right shoulder moves back). You may also rotate the fist so that when it reaches the desired destination your left palm will be facing down. Retract the left hand as fast as you extended it and return to the original position. Remember before punching relax the hand, snap it forward and clinch before making contact. Do your best to strike with the first two knuckles and keep your wrist in neutral position upon impact. Aim six to eight inches beyond your target. Extend the arm only about 90-95 percent. Keep your chin tucked down toward your chest--this protects your jaw from exposure to being hit. Bring your hand back as fast as you throw it. Move your head on an angle as you throw the punch.

Description: Keep your weight balanced on both feet. Stay on the balls of your feet so you can attack, spin or retreat quickly to safety. Practice moving side to side or in a circular motion around your opponent. Shift and shuffle your feet quickly, but keep them close to the ground so you have a solid base under you. Switch stances often when training. This means you'll change which foot is in front. Work your calf muscles by jumping rope, biking and doing bag drills while moving constantly. Good footwork requires training with an integrated approach to movement, strategy, punches thrown and balance. It all has to work together, so you should always be thinking about your footwork.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Boxers Mentality
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"

This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Hitora’s surprise was pretty clear when he suddenly was brought out of a Shunshin far earlier than he had expected and then bashed with the shield. Stumbling back a few feet, though not disoriented but more caught off guard, the young man was soon on the wrong side of the skinny unarmed fighter. He had underestimated the trio of goons, however thanks to his second sense of his brawler training and his ability to roll with the punches, he was soon rolling his body along the path of the punch, dodging it with relative ease.

The damage wasn’t completely avoided, but to a man like Hitora the punch was more than easy to absorb and ignore. Still within range of the man who had punched him, Hitora attempted to grab the man’s shirt, or in this case the straps of his overalls, and drove his own head into the twig-boy’s head. The moment his head would connect with the smaller one’s he would let go of the man and allow him to fly off into the distance, where he’d remain stunned for a bit. Hitora then would turn his attention to the shield user.

He then began forming handseals at a rapid pace, far faster than either the shield user or the man behind him would be able to watch. When he finished he slammed his hands to the ground and suddenly around the shield user a wall would appear around him, but soon after another string of handseals would be made, Hitora’s hands once more slammed into the ground and from the top of the walls a roof would be formed. Neither would be that strong, but it would be more than enough to delay the man. Letting his Kunai fall from his mouth, quickly catching it and placing it back in his bag, Hitora would begin to form more handseals, another attack would soon be coming. However, this would all only be possible if the first headslam were effective, and each move made after that was to happen as he said.

Roll With the Punches
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user is able to roll with the punches, and not take as much damage that should have been delivered.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not work on Slashing, Piercing attacks, or attacks that are not solidified, that hits in a mass amount, this technique does not work against NinJutsus.
Description: The user has become quite good at handling hits and taking them, they have now trained themselves to roll with their opponents punches as they come to them. By moving their body with the direction of their punch they are able to dodge or take less damage from the hit. When they are hit they go along with the punch or kick to take less damage. Whenever someone would attack bluntly with punching, kicking like techniques, or anything that is blunt like techniques the user sways with the direction of the attack as the attack becomes deafened, the attack becomes lighter, giving less harm towards the Brawler. When the user learns this technique the opponent's techniques become one rank less powerful then it is initially used. This technique does not work against NinJutsus as it only works on Bludgeoning, and Blunt TaiJutsu techniques.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know.

Limit: Must be a Brawler

Heddo Gachan (Heading Slam)

Special: The user reaches forth taking hold of the opponent's piece of clothing, or even the back of the neck and slams their head against the opponent's head with strong force.
Drawback: ---
Description: The user takes hold of the opponent and quickly slams their head against the opponent's head. When this happens the opponent flies off into the distance by sheer force of the attack. Just as the user slams their head against the opponent's head the user releases the opponent quickly as the opponent flies off into the distance. The pain along the temple is shot towards the opponent's mind that causes a great shock in massive amounts as the opponent becomes shocked.
D Class - The Opponent is blinded and deaf for Two rounds
C Class - The Opponent is blinded and deaf for Three rounds
B Class - The Opponent is blinded and deaf for Four rounds
A Class - The Opponent is blinded and deaf for Five rounds

If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher then the reduction goes up by one. After three classes or more then the technique is incapable of working
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Daichi Kangoku No Jutsu (Earth Prison Technique)
Rank: "D","C","B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Raises Earth in a circle radius around the person of the user's choice. It can have a maximum base diameter of 3 meters.
Special: "Hand Seals, Hold Rabbit"
Drawback: The earth prison is not closed at the top, so it is possible for the victim to escape.
Description: Earth rises up around the targeted person quickly to a maximum height of 4 meters, trapping them inside. At D rank this technique is little more then a distraction or simple defense, only able to absorb a simple "D" ranked attack before it crumbles. Only the part that is attacked will collapse, unless the structural integrity of the entire prison is compromised. At C rank it becomes much harder and resists attacks better, but with persistence victim can break free (1 C rank). At B rank the prison is extremely hard and thick, made of solid rock. It is very difficult to break and will reflect most ninjutsu techniques back upon the victim. Although this attack is only B ranked, its is extremely tough and will stand up to most jutsu, including all B ranked techniques. Piercing jutsu will be most effective in breaking the wall.

Hitora’s swift avoiding of the jab was impressive. The unarmed man did not have enough time to avoid the head butt and was sent off into the distance. Just as Hitora’s head slammed against the man’s, the shield user hurled his shield at the genin’s side in a wide arc. The throw was arched in a manner that once striking the target, it would spin off them and back to the user. Upon the shield connect in any way, upon catching the shield, the shield user would disappear from his position in front of the larger man and reappear behind Hitora within a mere second.

Upon stepping out of the Arc, the shield user would slash at Hitora with the edges of his shield across the chest and abdominal section. He would also reach forward to rip the kunai from the genin’s mouth (due to interrupting the earth prison technique beforehand) and attempt to ram it into Hitora’s stomach. Not a killing blow, but one serious enough to weaken an opponent to slow them down. Meanwhile the larger man had drifted off toward the elderly man still clutching the money bag. His stride swift despite his size. “Give me the bag, old man!” He snapped, holding out his right hand as he closed the distance of four meters to the man quickly.

Shield User:

[/b]
Rank: “C”
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: With further training, the user will be able to throw their shield in such a way that it arcs around and returns to them.
Special: Utilizes the same principles as Bear Claw Toss.
Drawback: If met with sufficient obstruction the shield will still drop to the ground and not return to the user.
Description: Taking the methods of Bear Claw Toss even further, the user will learn to throw the shield in a Frisbee-like (or at least sideways) manner that causes it to rotate slowly while in the air and return to the user after it has made its journey. If met however with a “B”-rank obstruction (excluding people or animals) or a sufficiently hard unranked material it will still drop to the ground and require manual retrieval.
Limit: “Bear Claw Stance”, “Bear Claw - Toss”.

Kuma Tsume – Kokuhyou no Ashi (Bear Claw – Mauling Paw)
Rank: “B”
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: An extension of “Weighted Paw”, the user takes the concept of offensive shield techniques one step further, using instead the sharp points of their shield for slashing damage.
Special: Must have a shield on one’s arm. Only Taijutsu that can be realistically adapted can be used in conjunction with this technique.
Drawback: Attacks used in this manner are somewhat slowed down.
Description: As well as blunt and thick edges, shields often possess jagged points, such as at the base, corners or at the top in prongs. These locations can also be used to great effect in melee, used for brutal stabbing and tearing. With this technique, the user will train themselves in using the sharp points and edges of their shield for attacking, primarily in basic swinging motions for “C”-rank slashing damage. With this technique, other Taijutsu – mainly hand-to-hand – can now be minorly adapted to be used with a shield on one’s arm, slowing the technique by roughly a quarter but adding and additional “D”-rank of slashing damage, adding tearing and puncturing elements to attacks.
Limit: “Bear Claw – Weighted Paw”.[/ul]

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

That sensation Hitora had grown accustomed to was shouting at him again, in its unusual pain that only his brawler’s second sense could. The sensation said to leap about a meter to the left or right and before he had the chance to mentally confirm that, his body had reacted, leaping two meters out of the way to be sure the young man watched as the shield passed through the spot where he had been.

It was then that the young man noticed the large hulk of a man approaching the old man. He had no time to react, spitting the kunai into his hand he quickly threw it at the man so as to try to stop him, he knew it was a risk that it could give the attacker a weapon but he quickly followed it up with a series of handseals. Placing his hand to his mouth he began to exhale his breathe as well as the fire chakra he had quickly built up.

From his mouth came three dragons of fire all on a slightly different point, but all three aimed towards the large man in a way that would leave the elderly one unharmed from their flames. Hitora though wouldn’t have much time to watch the fire dragons fly towards his opponent, as by now the shield user would be his priority again if he had in fact used the shunshin.

If the shield strike were coming as intended still, the young Uchiha would step just out of the attacks range and proceed to reenter close range and instantly begin throwing a fury of punches, each one extremely strong and fast, one punch from a single fist only taking half the time it would take a normal person to throw one meaning in the time it took a normal man to throw a normal punch Hitora would be able to throw one from his left and right fist.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Gekijou Atemi (Fury of Blows)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of hurling a flurry of attacks, of strong like blows against the enemy more times then one is capable of within a single movement. The user gains the capability of attacking faster using their speed, but at that rate they also loose great accuracy for they are punching somewhat wildly.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: The user sacrifices what he knows of Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist) for this technique and attacks in a Fury of Blows. Normally a person is capable of attacking with their left and right hand within one movement one time. With Fury of Blows the user is capable of attacking two times with their left hand, and two times with their right hand per movement equal to that of the whole round. When the user attacks they are capable of attacking faster, but they attack wildly, their attacks are never precise and they are not very accurate as well. Speed is gained but accuracy drops down dramatically. Some believe it is best to pin the opponent down against the wall, or against the ground before the user is capable of attacking correctly.
Limit: Must know Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)

Katon Hidora no Jutsu (Fire - Hydra Technique)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique in which the user takes the concept of Ryuuka but is capable of using it more of a destructive manner and more of a diverse manner. Instead of one large dragon like form being shot forth towards the opponent, the user is capable of increasing the amount of them into an amount of three draconic creations with similar devastation.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: They are only capable of going in a straight line. Projectory may not change directions.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the necessary handseals for the technique. As the user does, so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep, breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in, which ignites the moment they blow the air out. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivels and swerves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. Then without notice or movement the large dragon splits into three smaller sized forms of dragons as they twist and turn around one another heading towards the intended target. This technique is used to where the user is capable of controlling each dragon to hit at different times. This means that each draconic form of fire may be one after the other before hitting the initial target. The user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is ignited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion for each form.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release, must know Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)

[N A T S U M I]

Hitora’s dodge of the shield proved successful. The shield skimmed past him before rounding back and attaching itself to the shield user’s arm. He immediately moved into the shunshin by the time the genin had spat out the kunai, reappearing behind him just as the kunai was thrown. Immedaitely he stepped forward to swipe the edge of his shield into Hitora’s lower back to where the suit shirt ended. The blow itself would create a gaping wound which would cause the genin to fall to his knees.

“Your attention should be upon me, boy.” He snapped before throwing a punch toward the back of the genin’s head. Meanwhile, the larger man stopped moving as the kunai shot through the space between him and the genin. He darted forward and landed onto his stomach, covering his head with both his hands. The elderly man saw an opening and had rushed forward to land a kick into the man’s face. Fortunately for him, the kick connected and the larger man let out a grunt.

The elderly man ran past Hitora and the shield user and rounded the corner. “Hold them off!” He screamed over his shoulder, clutching the bag with all his strength. There was no way that he was letting the bag go.

Drawback: Will not work very effectively with rounded or square shields.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

It happened like Hitora predicted, almost, before he could finish his handseals from before the man with the shield had shunshined and attempted to slash Hitora with his shield. Quickly shunshining away from the shield user to avoid the shield strike at the last moment, Hitora would slide to a stop, hands a blur of seals as the old man he was to be guarding ran past.

Good, the old man finally left the area of combat and now I can go full out. Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu! These would be the thoughts of the young Uchiha as he finished his seals and came to a stop, holding his hand up to his mouth he exhaled a long breath of fire and oxygen, blowing a massive ball of fire at the large man who was cowering in fear on the ground.

This would almost surely kill the larger man, even with if he were able to notice it and attempt to react, the ball would explode upon collision with the large hulk of a man. Hitora smirked as he watched the ball fly towards the large man, he began to move himself in a position to easily catch back up with the man he was meant to be guarding.

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is cannot be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fiery explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing damage that is even more devastating.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

The shunshin was performed skilfully right at the last moment. Propelling the genin out of harm’s way. Cussing the shield user remained ten meters away only to see that the elderly man had rounded the corner and was nearing the bank. He decided to leave Hitora and head after the man instead, creating a three second head start.

Meanwhile, Hitora’s fireball technique would expand in the street completely engulfing the larger man in flames. The man had just met an unfortunate end. Now, with a three second head start, how was Hitora going to catch up to the old man before the shield user reaches him first?

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Not taking long to notice that the shield user had disappeared, after having left his comrade to be blown to bits by the Fireball, Hitora began to search for his opponent once again. It didn’t take long the man had a few seconds on him and the old man, despite having a good bit of time to run wasn’t too far yet, Hitora started after the shield user.

Reaching into his bag behind him, he quickly grabbed the sting grenade from its spot, pulled its pin and threw it so that it would land right behind the man and explode right after hitting the ground. Then he took his kunai, a ziptie and his smoke pouch, all while moving, and slapped them all together to make it easier to throw the pouch to its destination.

Then Hitora with a good huff threw the kunai-ziptie-pouch combination so that it would land between the old man and the shield user. If successful, it would detonate and cover the area in smoke, hopefully that plus the distraction of the smoke grenade would allow Hitora the time needed to catch up to the shield user. “Going somewhere? We have unfinished business shield bitch.”

The mixture of items thrown at the shield user would engulf him in a large amount of white smoke. The elderly man had just reached the bank and had thrown himself into the doors. At the taunt, the shield user would turn toward the genin’s general direction, shield raised. “Finally, you caught me. No point in getting the bag now.” He said, admitting his defeat. The man was inside the bank depositing the money. “The money is in the bank. I’m done.” He muttered before Hitora could hear the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

When the smoke cleared, the shield user and abandoned his shield and had disappeared from view. Only the shield remained behind. Was Hitora going to try hunting down the man? (I’ll leave your next post to your choice. But this mission is regarded as a success! If you want the shield, feel free to take it. But ask Suke for permission first.) The elderly man exited the bank with an empty bag slung over his right shoulder, a smile as wide as his crinkled face would allow. “Good job, son. Never doubted you for one second!” He said offering his hand, hoping that Hitora didn’t see the lie he had just been given.

[Hitora Ryunobu (Uchiha)]

Eyes darting left and right the young man looked for where the opponent had gone to, but to no avail as the smoke cleared away it seemed that he dropped his shield and ran away while the running was good. Damn, he got away…” thought the young man when another voice soon interrupted him, a voice that was much older than his opponents and one that was much happier.

Hitora turned back towards the man as he congratulated him and extended his hand for Hitora to shake. Grasping his hand firmly Hitora would give it a single good shake and break the grip. “I’m glad you are happy with the services performed by me.” Hitora knew that what the old man said was obviously a lie, but that was neither here nor there as he walked off, picking up the shield and heading back to the tower.
