Farewell Falls (Location under Construction)

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Farewell Falls

Hidden in the Village of Waterfalls is a spooky and foreboding locale. This is where a sect of Venators and spiritualists train in their fight against the ever present spiritual realm. The locale is known only by rumors and legends as few who approach leave and those that do leave rarely speak of what is inside. The people who do come and go from this location are a dark and mysterious group that feel wrong to most of the locals. It is spoke about in whispers over campfires as close as people can get to the light. For the darkness spreads from the locale like a cancer.

The brave or fool hardy people who enter this place that is so close to breaching the veil between realms come for one purpose. To strengthen the veil and fight the evil that pours through the gaps in the barrier are their mission. The group isn't so much as lead by anyone but just follow a kind of teaching that came from spirits who too want to close the veil and stop the spread of the evil dead. For there were good spirits as there are bad across the veil like there are humans.

The Hunters of these dead are a shun and rejected group but they pay the price willingly for the villages and people they love. This is a calling that many approach for different reasons. Some fight evil dead out of religious zealotry, others out of revenge for murdered friends or family, and still others were born with gifts that make them destined for the fight.

But this place designed and built by the half living Spectre of Takigakure has become something more. For he is one of the shinobi that would protect his home for as long as he was on this plane to do so. He has open his doors to all the in-humans and shinobi of Takigakure for their training. And in times of war as a secondary fortress to fight from.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Layout

The entrance of this hide away and training grounds is hidden behind a waterfall. The construction was integrated into a cavern formation in the cliff face. There are still several areas as yet to be explored. The Falls has a high spiritual connection as it was said many a star crossed lover has dived to their deaths from above the waterfall, to crash into the rocks below. A whole mausoleum litters both sides of the falls and river that springs from it. The repeated hauntings of the area and dark origins of some of the graves lead to the thinning of the spiritual veil. Several Grounds keepers who are a dark and quiet sort tend to the dead and the sometimes the spirits of those that dwell in this desolate place. To get to the inside one must transverse the dark gardens.

The Maunsolums and graveyards that stretch the area around the front entrance of this hallowed training ground were a dark and foreboding place. Plenty of material for the dark arts. But if one was found doing more than research on how to combat the evil dead they would have to answer to the army of groundskeepers or worse yet the master of the strong hold the Spectre himself.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes the thirteen flames of the O Ni Bi En (Will-o-the Wisp Circle) to rapidly grow in heat and rush inward on the target, catching whatever they touch on fire.
Special: Handseals, O Ni Bi En (Will-o-the Wisp Circle) must have been in effect for at least five rounds.
Drawback: ---
Description: After O Ni Bi En (Will-o-the Wisp circle) has been in effect for five rounds or more, the user performs the hand signs and sends a large amount of chakra into the thirteen balls of flame, causing them to rapidly heat up into actually damaging flames and all rush inward all at once towards the center of the circle to catch anything they touch on fire. Should these flames miss and hot hit anything within their circle, they will collide together and form a single, large flame that will expand and catch everything within the original circle's circumference on fire.
Limit: Fire release. Must know O Ni Bi En (Will-o-the Wisp Circle).

Kuroki stood outside his haunted falls now that some of the construction that he ordered was complete. Luckily he could count on some help even though a lot avoided the place. He might have been the main haunt of Farewell Falls but the veil was thin here. It was the perfect place to practice his jutsus. He needed the space and water as not to harm the unknowing.

He began to weave again the fires of the spiritual that he used. The dancing flames of the thirteen were to become a greater weapon. They needed a life of fire and destruction. It would actually complete what had been started by the dance of life and soul that they would perform. For fire and especially spiritual fire represented so much.

The use of the Aether to form the spirits of fire was the first step. Chakra and Aether were intrinsicly tied. He would summon the thirteen salamanders that looked like the hitoma of the human soul. Not that any true user of the spiritual arts would see the face of true spiritual life in these imitations. But they served a purpose. He smiled as they began to form to his will.

Kuroki smiled as his dancing lights played in the graveyards of his little domain. The graveyard and buildings that litter this place of the dead were great for using spiritual forces. While his chakra was the source of his flames the spirits were the source of his chakra. His Aether fed the flames of thirteen that danced in a circle over one of the few empty plots there was. The moist ground and waterfall nearby made it less of a hazard to practice here.

The Darkness of night was so close around him and his fire that it was just an eerie unnatural glow to any onlooker. He had to build a cresto with his dancing ghost lights. For they danced to a tune that only him and his could hear. It was an eerie tune of the spiritual realm that threaten to pull all but the most hearty into its mists. As a shinobi of the falls he was made of sterner stuff than most. This was a village that prided itself on the strange but he was strange for even here.

His flames were no less strange for they glowed and flickered like fire but gave no heat that would burn. At least not yet did they while they dance. No his fire gave a radiance that warmed and welcomed those that saw it. That was part of the trap his little fires laid. It was unfortunate that most his prey rarely had the intelligence to fall victim to that part of his castings. But the next part would hurt most of the living dead.

Kuroki had his little fire almost ready for the big burn. The dance the spirits of fire and life danced was one of purification and death. His soul burned fires of hitoma were reaching their stride. In a few moments they would reach the cresto of a tune that he could here. It was a very particular dance that entranced and captivated his prey. They would not be able to hear the music that flowed through him yet but they will eventually.

Eventually Kuroki was ready to start flowing is chakra to give his little thirteen the energy they need for the final act of the dance. This death dance circle of theirs was coming to a close. It was an entertainment for the dark and the to be purified. Fire was a good element to purify the spirits and that was why it was one of his choice weapons. Few things were as effective as fire and light against the living dead.

But he needed to give it the power to truly purify the evil if he was to follow this path. And so Kuroki flowed energy into the dancing flames . They were ready to receive the gift of a finally that he was giving. It was going to be a spectacular ending to a dance that you could only be in the center in of once to tell the tale. Luckily he was standing outside his little fire circle directing this little performace to the end.

Kuroki was finally ready with the chakra he prepared for the fire spirits. They may look like hitoma and even act that way but they were chakra constructs. As such his little ghost lights needed chakra and direction in which he was finally ready to give some more of. This chakra spell took time to build to the proper cresto and that time has come. So without further ado he did the final set of hand seals.

With all the power of being the Spectre of Taki he sent a wave of pure power into the thirteen. Sudden the dance still and they rushed towards the center growing in size as they did. The heat wave coming off each of the thirteen was intense. It was a very strong fire spell to begin with one that happen to have thirteen parts. It would be very hard to dodge thirteen balls of fire coming from every direction.

But then the ghost lights of Kuroki collided, the resulting wave of fire and heat that was produced was even more intense. Even Kuroki had to shield his eyes and face as in a flash the entire five meter circle was engulfed in fire. It burned hotly for a moment and then faded to the remaining cinders. This was the death march of the Will-o-Wisps. And he had been the one to command such a pure fire.

Seiðr Halo
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user creates a Halo made out of chakra near their body.
Special: ---
Drawback: These halo have no effect on the world unless jutsu are used with them. The bright glow makes stealth hard if not impossible.
Description: The user creates a bright glowing Halo made out of chakra with a diameter of 100 centimeter near their body. The colour of the glow can be altered by the user. Per time learned, one is capable of creating another Halo. When first created, a Halo will appear within a meter from the user, and from then on tend to swirl about behind their back unless they are used. The user can move these Halo through the air as they please as long as they are within eyesight.
Limit: Clan jutsu.

Kuroki's fire spells had set a weird feeling within him. There was a power within him that wanted out now that he was growing stronger. A power of blood of old, he didn't know the source or name though. That would require more research but he wanted to experiment and see. So with his eyes closed he drew upon the power that resided in him to bring forth the shape and color to his mind.

So forth Kuroki brought out a halo that glowed brightly in a wane pale light. It was as if it fought the darkness around him. It was an interesting thing to bring forth, he smiled as it answered his commands. It had appeared this first time slanted above his head. But now it was spinning and floating to the command of his fingers. He smiled and then ended it with a snap of his fingers.

Chakra Gavinha
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Makes it possible to let tendrils come out of the Halo, allowing the user to perform more jutsu with the Halo.
Special: ---
Drawback: These tendrils have no effect on the world unless jutsu are used with them. The bright glow makes stealth hard if not impossible.
Description: Once activated, the user can make several bright glowing tendrils slide out of the Halo, all made out of chakra, and all having the same kind of glow as the Halo they come out of. Per time this jutsu is learned, one can create 10 tendrils per Halo.
Limit: One must have the at least one Seiðr Halo activated.

From Kuroki the halo burst through to be seen in this reality once more by use of spiritual energy. Then a strange change overcame his one halo. By twisting his energy he was able to make tendrils burst forth from his slanted pale light halo. The techniques and understanding that he was gaining was strange as if the ancestors were speaking in his ears even though no understood words could be heard.

But with a sense of knowing that his spiritual awareness had he began to experiment. These tendrils and halos of his would be worthless when he tries to hide he knew. But he could sense a power within them that would make him more effective against the living and maybe against the dead as well. They were born of his spiritual energies so they had some connection there.

A boy approached the cavern, through curiosity and interest in the environment he approached without fear. He only had one problem with what he was doing however... He had no ability to fight, he lacked any combat relevancy and likely couldn't defend himself. The boy was eight, recently a genin and could heal some interesting levels of wounds even helped in the Hospital often. Though he had talent in the medical arts he hadn't tried to do much more than that.

The boy looked up to the waterfall and growled quietly to himself. He decided to learn the art of mental manipulation. He stared at the waterfall and sighed before sitting on the ground in front of it.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Upon seeing his first ever visitor he quickly vanished and reappeared behind the young one. "What's your business in this grave? " Kuroki gathered the shadows ever more to himself so all that could really been seen was his glowing eyes. He looked like some sort of reaper with glowing eyes, skeletal features, and darkness swallowing him. He truly was a fright to be seen but these were his lands.

[Dravocn]

He rose a brow upon hearing the voice, he didn't look back as he was simply asked a question. He continued sitting as he stared at the waterfall "I apologize for trespassing." he said, the fact that he couldn't see his conversational partner made it easier on his social anxiety. "I hadn't known that a graveyard could be owned by anyone but the dead." he said with a sigh and looked to the water below the waterfall. "I'm a simple genin who doesn't trust himself to go on missions or enter the chunnin exams without combat skills." he explained and cracked his neck as it seemed stiff and stress wasn't helping.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

A cackle could be heard from the dark figure that was the Spectre of the Falls. "Who says these graves are owned by the living?" It was unusual for someone so unconfident in themselves to be a Shinobi of the village that reportedly had more monsters than the others. But that was neither here nor there. "What do you plan on doing about that then?" Meaning his supposed weakness.

[Dravocn]

He rose a brow "I'd heard of a man who hadn't become a chunnin yet, though was very skilled in the art of mind manipulation. I suppose you are he. In which case I doubt I have anything to fear from you as we are allied to the same village. However, to answer your question, I also plan to extend my skills in the same art. Genjutsu is a useful thing to use in all aspects of life, though should I run out of chakra, I should learn a form of taijutsu at some point as well... For now, I want to put my chakra control to use beyond only medical ninjutsu." he said and sighed, still not facing toward Kuroki, instead looking into his reflection in the dark water.
