Yunka stumbled through the desert sands with a dopey look on his face. His outfit consist of a brown cloak that has a collar and is attached at the neck with buttons. Wearing a loose dark metallic blue kimono top with a brown waistband keeping it secure. Underneath is a skin tight long sleeved dark blue shirt with the symbol of a sun on it's back. He wears a darker shade of blue with the pants. The pant's legs are tucked in nicely to the light brown Shinobi boot sandals. Yunka also has a battered strawhat which is rounded and bowl shaped. His two katana sitting on both his sides while a short sword was sheathed on the small of his back.


In the distance should be the meeting point at a small oasis. Whoever he was suppose to escort maybe they could be a potential business partner. Merchants had money and his cooking skills were something they could definitely invest in. That would be living the dream having countless supplies to try and make new dishes. But nothing came easy as a hunter it was a deadly lifestyle. Even the smallest creatures could be fatal and that was the simple mentality behind the entire thing. 

Within a few more hundred meters the sight of palm dreams and a glassy reflection gave away the meeting point. 2 horse drawn carrages were near the water with the horses calmly drinking. Yunka waved at the group of people huddled in a small camp like set up as to not alarm them. He walked closer until all 3 people were now in front of him. "Yunka Addon of the Sand. Master Chef." He said with a wave and showing off his headband. The man in the middle who was of a large stature rose and extended a hand towards Yunka. Accepting it the two shared a strong hang shake. 


"Biroku is my name." He bellowed before turning his head past his right towards two young women. Twins to be exact dressed both dresses in decked out kimono. They had long flurocent green hair that reached to their shoulders. "Hami and Jana my daughters and business partners. I manufacture weapons and they design clothes." The one known as Hami waved at Yunka while Jana blew a kiss causing him to catch a flirtatious grin. It left his face before Biroku could notice however as he coughed into his head." Pleasure to be at your service. With all of that out of the way we should head out." With that Biroku and his daughters rounded up the carriages and with Yunka centered started to head towards the border.

Nearly 4 hours had passed and the sun was setting in the horizon. Yunka had focused mainly on the sand in front of him because it had been nothing like that for miles. It was always like that in the Land of wind nothing but sand unless you headed towards the coast and other area. But he wasn't one to complain as it never really bothered him all that much. To his own surprise he hadn't even done much communicating with the clients and was centered upon the formation hand resting on the hilt of his blade. Nothing had caught his eye as of yet except a slight rumble in his stomach. That's when a flock of birds flew overhead as the thought of fried chicken filled his mind.But wait what birds flew in the desert?

The birds dove towards Biroku who was in front on the lead carriage. He panicked forcing the horses to a halt as his twin daughters did the same. Yunka on the other hand took action in the midst of the chaos. Taking his stance he grabbed his blade and immedietly swung it towards the sky. The resulting effect would be a wave of air that would collide and knock back the birds. But instead they crumbled apart and fell as a drizzle. They had been made of sand. Yunka immedietly moved to the top of the front carriage and scanned the surrounding area.


In front of them stood a bandaged man who was holding a seal. He stood a good 100m away. While surveying the man to his front two objects burst from the sand below. Yunka easily reacted by drawing his second blade. Metal on metal as blades met the kunai of his advisories. With his attention diverted he couldn't do much except keep the situation at a stalemate. Fighting with two blades was nowhere near his style. He also needed to be wary of the jutsu user in the distance as well as more enemies.

His next move of action was abrupt to create distance. He quickly kicked the man to his left off the top of the carriage while the other separated from the exchange. He jumped over Yunka to retrieve his fallen comrade. Yunka simply sheathed one of his blades and watch as the two retreated towards the jutsu user in the distance. "Just watch bastard our brother will take you out!!! He's the known as the Sand Spirit around these parts!!" One of them screamed while Yunka simply cracked his neck. "Biroku I'll take care of this don't worry. I'm as good with this blade as I am with a chef's knife!" Yunka blurted with a smile. Biroku and his daughters who had been somewhat shaken had slightly calmed down now having witnessed Yunka do well so far.

Drawback: ---
Description: Muso no Kamae , Uranami no Kamae , Roppo Kuji no Kamae , Dato no Kamae , This stance is four in one. Each one is slightly different in some sort of way, but the legging position, the position where their balance will stay pure will always be the exact same. What is used within this stance is for mostly attack style forms. Each stance is different in its own way as each is same in every way as well. The feet for all four stances are the same. The user's left leg, or right leg will be forward and the knee would be bent in almost a ninety degree form. The back leg will be placed far back, about a foot or two past the shoulder along the upper body. For Muso no Kamae their hands are upwards holding their sword as the forward arm that is the same as the leg as it is holding the end of the sword. The user holds the front end of the sword with the other arm. The sword is then pointing towards the back of the body as the blade is pointing upwards. The sword is rested gently against the bicep of the back arm as the user holds the sword carefully. For Uranami the user keeps the sword along their chest area as it is pointing backwards of the body. The sword is pointing downwards slightly as the upper body is slanted forward. The Roppo Kuji holds the sword the same way as the sword is more slanted almost touching the ground. The sword is pointing backwards as well, and the user keeps the blade downwards. The final position is the Dato no Kamae is slightly more different than that of the others. What occurs is that the user holds the sword up high in the air with the back arm as the arm is held straight backwards away from the body. The forward arm is shot forward in a straight form, as the user keeps this position having their leg and upper body in a straight form in a diagonal form.

Effect: A technique used to impede opponents at a distance.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Another form concept of forcing energy by a single swing. Instead of cutting, the user can swing their blade into more of a force like blow.

When the user first learns this technique as a “D” Class ninja the user is able to send a shock wave of sheer force in the distance of 10 meters capable of giving a knock back of 5 meters away from the 10 meter region. For every class level the user may be higher than that of “D” Class the technique increases at a distance of 5 meters giving it a total of 30 meters, with a knock back of 15 meters past the initial shockwave point. This technique is able to counter against thrown and other projectile weapons, as well as running opponents.

His first plan of action was to deal with the two trying to escape.Yunka crouched before bursting forward his one blade in hand. Hitting the sand he chased after the two closing the distance. He was trained shinobi and taijutsu user and was able to pursue with ease and meet the distance. The two running away stopped in their tracks after peeking over their shoulders. They chose to fight him instead of turn tail and run."Bring it!" They yelled in unison as Yunka took his stance staring them down. Getting close to 5 meters one of them sprung up in to the air the other pounced straight at Yunka from below.

Yunka swatted the attack the front knocking the man off balance. Followed up with a spinning kick to the back of his head. With him out of the way Yunka took a step forward after recovering to finish the second attacker. An overhead slash that was wild had been to easy for Yunka to dodge who slashed while evading. His blade getting through the man's neck leaving a spray of blood.His lifeless body dropped next to the knocked down man who turned and screamed. Yunka raised his arm ready to bare down to finish him as well but he tensed and jumped to his right. A tendril of sand stabbing the space where he was. 

Staring at the jutsu user he manipulated 3 tendrils of sand. Only 40m away he manipulated the one he just used to side swipe at Yunka. His only to dodge was to crouch and jump 10m in to the air but this left him vulnerable. The other two tendrils followed in suit to collide and pierce his chest. Using his already flipped blade as a brace he raised his legs and body above it as the tendrils only grazed his sword. With the opportune moment Yunka swung his legs to make contact with the sand and started to run down the tendrils towards the jutsu user.

Immediately the jutsu user released his jutsu as the tendrils lost form letting the sand fall freely along with Yunka. But he had enough hangtime in the air to land properly. He wasted no time in rushing the jutsu user who had started another set of seals. But with Yunka's speed and focus he could just make it before the man could pull whatever trick he had. No matter what he couldn't let innocent people die unless it was over his dead body. That was simply part of his chef's honor.

Sand started to swirl around the jutsu user as Yunka neared him. With only 3m of distance left Yunka dived in to attack. He put all his weight on his lead foot while running and used all the force to jump forward and slash the man. But before he could even connect sand had rose up making a towering wall nulling his advances and forcing him to halt and regain distance. When the wall of sand fell all that was left was a sphere of sand with the jutsu user nowhere in his sights. Yunka was dumbfounded and figured that this guy was doing nothing but hiding or trying to prepare something big. 


Yunka tested the man and continued his assault by running around the sphere. Every other step he would jump in and slash at the sphere with none of his attacks phasing the sand. His slashes although strong would only leave dents in the sand and nothing more. But what this did tell him was that the jutsu user was not entirely strong. Considering any shinobi capable of this could manifest sand hard enough to stop a blade. With this realization Yunka jumped back a safe 3m  before he prepared his stance. Making an L with his body he gripped his tsuba and focused all his strength into his blade. Bursting forth 10m moving so fast to the naked eye it would be a flash. Within that Yunka would have slashed the sand sphere before ending up 7m away.

He would then sheathe his blade the resulting sound releasing a frequency. Once the frequency hit the energy stored in the sand the resulting force blew apart the sand.The jutsu user was exposed and frantically trying to repair the sand.Swirls of it reforming to complete the sphere.Turning around into the same L stance Yunka prepared his final technique. Bending forward he smiled at the man knowing this his death was imminent and the mission that much closer.I might call this one Folding omelette Yunka thought to himself.

Yunka used his finishing move as he switched stances. Drawing his blade he wildly slahsed the air in a square form with a 5th slash down the center. The slashes of air flew towards the uncompleted sand sphere as it fell to the ground along with a spray of blood. Yunka took a breath and sheathed his blade as he made his way back to the caravan. Another succesful battle and another warrior to his kill list. It was never any sweat off his back but never liked to kill people who didn't deserve to die or didn't have a death wish.

Biroku looked at Yunka with awe upon his return and gave him a bear hug almost squashing his body."You saved me and my daughters ninja and for that I owe you." Yunka simply squirmed and broke free so he could breathe giving the man a thumbs up as he returned to his carriage. The twins on the other hand did much of the same but grab him by his arms. Both planting a kiss on his cheek. He was flattered especially when one winked at him before they returned to their carriage. He was exhausted from the fight and opted to ride the top of Biroku's carriage sitting but still on the lookout. 

From the point of where the group had been ambushed had only been 3 more hours of travel to their destination of a far off town near the border of the Land of Wind. Yunka properly escorted Biroku and his daughters along with all of their merchandise at the drop of point. With final goodbyes and a peice of paper with the address of one of the twins stores Yunka headed back to the sand village. Strawhat in toe and in place on his head. The Chef of the Desert would be home once more.
