Homesick but Extradited [Search for Gates]

[Jericho]

Ame no Kuni, a place he had trudged, tripped, bled, cried, smiled and run through, his entire childhood. It was incredible how much it had changed since he had been home...it moved him in a way his heart hadnt felt in years. Even as he looked around at the constant rainfall, his clothing and briefcase already dripping, her missed the smell of the rain, its ever present moisture, how the world had seemed to adapt to this water torrent and still remained beautiful. Now there was just one issue...where was the gate?

He had never actualyy been in the village of Ame but once, for academy and that was it, the location of the gates had always been a secret to him so he simply...walked. He was used to travel on foot, his shoes worn but comfortable, his body worn with work but still strong enough to continue. Even as he walked an idea hit him. Amid all his items, 6 paper cubes, several decks of cards, and 3000 sheets of paper in his briefcase securely locked away from the rain, his forgot one other thing, his eyes. He was born into an older bloodline, one who used their life energy to help and heal, to mend the wounds that could and could not be seen. The Onigami.

With a few seals, he activated his eyes, their glow giving off a silent white glow. His eyes took the color of their intended purpose, mood and mid set were taken into mind, and him being as pure as he could be, had chosen white. 50 meters and 360 degrees became instantly visible, everything broken down to its chakra nature. The Earth....sky....the rain, it was all nature, it all held chakra, and to him they were just shining deities in a world full of believers.

As he walked he simply scanned for something....anything...ninja, gates, walls, anything to lead him back to where he felt he belonged. Ame had finally opened its arms to him again.

[/i] was far too wide, with teeth that seemed almost too tall, but met to formulate a grin that could be taken as either welcoming or ravenous. His white haori was slumped over his attire, sagging in even greater measure for the water it had absorbed. In the drumming darkness, August progressed, unafraid of this mortal realm; what pathetic affliction could bring him to his knees? Naught, and thus the loudness, the uncertainty of the flat, featureless dark? It was home, and he was content.

The identifying insignia (scratched in plate) of August's village was worn casually up his left sleeve, fastened 'round the upper arm. The form of Quae Occidis - the blade which the God carried constantly - hung beneath this arm, at August's left hip and largely concealed by the bridge his sleeves made across his abdomen.

His almighty countenance would perhaps be visible a ways off for those with sight, for the terrain did not conceal his tall form well; though against the rather colorless, pressed grass that carpeted the landscape, and in the dark of the obscured sun, he may have been difficult to discern. In opposing measure, August's hearing was tuned with chakra, as was the very ground he tread upon; nothing within a thirty-five meter radius could escape his notice, and some within that of seventy could be detected, shapéd by the rain that fell upon it. A tree there, the rain glancing off it irregularly high; and ahead...

An anomaly.

Did something move?

Through the rain, there was a gap; it was indistinct, but it seemed to be in motion. Grinning, August followed the curvature of the ground painted so conveniently by the rain, and crested the most minute of rises, standing upon a hillock under the brooding sky. Was it a person? Quite possibly. For the moment, it was kept under surveillance. Would it gravitate towards the God, as it should? Or would it pass by, its mortal vision betraying it, as mortal vision was wont to do?

Time would speak of these things, whenever it so wished.

And thus, August would listen.[/font][/ul][/ul]

Tremor Sense [35M Distance]
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: By pouring their chakra into the ground, by using th earth release the user is capable of sensing or seeing in a sense what is along the ground, in the ground, identifying what is around them.
Special: ---
Drawback: Someone needs to touch the ground in order for the person to see. This means that even the user can see by stepping. This also means that the user must be touching the ground at all times. This technique does not work on water, sand, or metal or ice. The ground is to loose for the user to see the vibrations along the ground, or is to concentrated which creates less vibrations.
Description: When first learned the user is capable of seeing in a radius of five meters. After each time learned it increases by ten meters. When ever the user steps, or when another steps in the radius of tremor sense, the mind of the user picks up the vibrations along the feet creating a somewhat of a picture of the user. Since people have water constricted within their own bodies as well as metalic components of the body a user could see the movements of the body in blur like motion, where they can guess if an attack is coming towards them. This is the beginning stage of the tremor sense technique and is the foundation of the tremor sense techniques. When learned their is a thirty percent chance that the user is capable of defending against melee attacks within arms reach. This however does not mean that after each attack someone comes forth to role a die. It just means that the chances of trying to stop melee attacks is not as well or as concentrated as one would wish it to be.
Limit: Anyone can learn, but it takes an extreme amount of chakra unless they master earth techniques or is part of the Shitakuma clan. Can only be learned if learning the blind way of life.

Kusomimi (Hells Ears) [70 Meters]
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Without this Jutsu the Clan is capable of just listening with sharpen hearing. What this Jutsu does is by using the chakra along their eardrum, labyrinth system, as well as the outer ear of the body the user makes their ear into something of a sonar. This sonar system enables the brain to remember certain points by sound wave frequencies that hits the ear from a pebble hitting the water, to a person walking along grass. The Sonar system enables the Shitakuma clan to basically see. This is greatly used when Rain falls down for every time a drop hits the ground it emits a sound so basically they are capable to see for the first time in their lives. When first learned the distance that one is capable of understanding and remembering is the distance of fifty meters. After each time learned the distance goes up by twenty meters.
Special: The first time learned the user must do the signs of Dragon, Rabbit, Dragon, Ram. After the first time there would be no need for the seals.
Drawback: Must be trained into this more then once. Without the proper training of a technique such as Kusokesuni and Advanced version sounds could cause dizziness or damage to the user. The sounds to create this must be sounds that are greatly abrupt and fast which must be near the ear like a Flash/Bang grenade.
Description: When sound frequencies hit the ear it creates a sonar in which the mind remembers in a certain distance until the sound waves hit the ear once again. It looks as if the user is capable of seeing in such a way but it is just a technique that enables the user to know where to go and how far objects are at. They are capable of seeing shapes, and size, but the thing is they are not capable of seeing defined objects.
Limit: Only a technique for the Shitakuma Clan

[Jericho]

Walking aimlessly, Jericho's sights fell to someone in the distance, just on the edge of his 50 meter range. It was...strange, the way the chakra flowed in this one. Avoiding the eyes, but flowing strong in the ears. Blind maybe? Their Chakra was...so much more different than a normal shinobi, blood trait...but what was it....With the time it was taking to draw a conclusion, the man had to know Jericho was staring, or had acknowledged his presence.

He had no particular need here in Rain anymore, this silent wraith was offsetting. Rain had remained what it always was, and he felt his journey was not meant to take him here. Not yet anyways. Turning slowly, the priest eyed the silent man for a moment before heading off in the way he came, his eyes ever active, watching his back as he went off.
