Much to its surprise however, all of the three enemies would be so quikck on their feet, unlike la st time that they would be able to avoid the hit entirely, instead they would use thi to their advantage. Having hit the spot with the bombs - the man would trigger them with a special seal tattoed on its right arm. As it touched the tattoo with the opposite arm it would light up red , causing a visible shimmering light around it.

That moment the bombs would light up causing a very loud explosion lifting the arm up the air and damaging it. The damage wasn’t so much that the arm couldn’t be used anymore, nor was it enough to scare the shadow away. But it was still rather effective for it made the shadow back as away and turn into its normal human size.

It needed to find a better tactic for these men were stronger than they thought. The girl was split from the group, for , since it was knocked down by the gate’s air and since the men had run away from the fist attack, the girl was now roughly hundreds of meters away from them. It was time to change their focus and attack the girl instead.

The explosion had sadly removed the shadow’s giant form and had returned it to normal - but this wasn’t such a bad thing for it had gotten back its original speed. With the girl nearby the only natural thing to do would be to try and get rid of her. She wasn’t too far from the shadow even though she had been knocked away due to the power of the gate.

The shadow, still with the gate active, would have increased movements and speed aswell as striking punch - higher than a normal human being, such was the power of the gate a fter all. Combining it with an quick pump up Bodhi to the legs it was almost as if the shadow had shunshined to the girl when in fact it was simply leg power causing a huge burst in speed

As the shadow appeared in front of the girl it was clear that she was scared. She was on the ground, not injured but the fear of dying simply paralyzed her. She could clearly tell that that shadow being was much more powerful than she was, and with the gate active not even her, the fastest of the group could escape. Only a miracle could save her

The shadow was angry, not only did these random ninjas attacked them, they also damaged their house - damaged the neighbors property and had forced the twins to abruptly wake up from their peaceful sleep. This could not stand. This anger that kept growing inside the shadow could be felt and would be shared by all the twins

Much like throwing gasoline on fire, the girl would throw a kunai at the shadow, as a sign of desperation. The shadow did not move, it was too angry to do so. As the kunai hit the left shoulder o the shadow it would pierce some of its flesh. The shadow would simply keep staring at the woman blantantly ignoring the kunai that was now stuck in the shoulder.

All of a sudden that age begun to turn red, amassing a huge amount of chakra further aided by the nenyana powers caused by the accidental kunai hit. The chakra would begin to show , being able to see it without any form of special sight was a rare feat. That chakra would gather the property of fire and would begin to ignite. The girl that was nearby would get caught in the ever spreading chakra aura and would start to burn alive.

Witnessing their friend burning alive the three men would begin to flee. They had the distance advantage , they were roughly two hundred meters away from the shadow. This would give them enough time to escape to a nearby forest. Ofcourse, thiscould not stand. The shadow would immediately be ordered to follow them and see where they were going.

This would however leave the house unguarded and the twins still thought it was best to stay hidden and fortified. So far they had only seen four enemies , one of them which is now dead. But there could very well be more and they had still yet to know the motive of this attack. The other shadow that was inside the house would be ordered to swap places with the guard.


So as the shadow turned his facial traits into that of an animal he would gain a sudden boost of speed that paired together with the gates and its innate ability would make itn much faster than their enemies.The inuzuka traits would begin to show onto the shadow that no longer resembled Kael but more of a beast than a man.

Blood Track

This Jutsu is also prized by Inuzuka as it allows them to withdraw from unfavorable combats and then track adversaries until more favorable conditions can be engineered, such as waiting for reinforcements or attacking from ambush.
Limit: Must be an Inuzuka member.

The enemies w ere already inside the forest, sadly even though the shadow was very fast the distance advantage the enemies had would be enough for it to lose tracks of them, by sight that is. Thanks to the features of a beast it w ould be rather easy to now track a pray - especially a bleeding one at that. And as it would stand one of them would be injured.

They didn’t know who it was, they had been fighting for quite some time now but one of them was definetly injured. Not directly from the shadow attacks but more indirectly from the various shrapnels and explosions that happened earlier. He or she must’ve been hit by one of those things leaving a blood trail for the shadow to follow.

As it n eared to the doors of the forest the shadow would enter stealth once more and would deactivate the gates so that its aura powers would not be seen by the naked eye. With the remaining enhanced movements from the wolf transformation the shadow would begin to prowl in the dark forest using the natural environment to its advantage.

The moment the shadow entered the forest and the other one replaced it, it would immediately spot a group of five people coming toward the house. They were not stealthing nor would they even try to attempt such a thing. All five of them , in a triangle formation would be wearingheavy black armour - showing no weakness in it and the only gap in the armor would be that of the eyes.

They would also wear shields, tower ones on their left hand with a long sheath on their left hip carrying w hat seemed like a black handle most likely of a sword judging from the length and shape of the sheath. They would stop roughly fifty meters from the house and would immediately kneel slamming their shields onto the ground and hiding behind them.

The shadow would react by entering a fighting stance and stepping in front of the broken door as a sign that if anyone tried to enter it would first have to kill it. The shadow didn’t want to attack yet, after all if they wanted to get to the twin they would have to come to the house, and if the shadow lft his spot it would leave it unguarded.

The guards would await roughly two minutes before one of them would raise his hand and make some unknown signs to someone. Four more men would rapidly dash from the hill behind the guard and join the five kneeling guards. These ones would wear the same colored armor but this time it would be leather.

Each one of them would carry a sniper crossbow and would place it in between the five shields creating a tower of sorts. The moment their formation was set the guards would create clones of themselves making a perfect circle of the tower and the archers would do the same. They were now covering every side

They would have full vision of everything around them. One of the kneeling guards would make some handseals, and using a force jutsu he would create a barrier below the feet of them preventing acess from below. This barrier would also act as a floating base so they could begin to slowly move toward the house. A moving tower of death.

Limit: Must be an Inuzuka member. Must know Acting (15 points).

As the arrows begun to being shot against the shadow it would enter a very elusive stance called the wolf style. This inuzuka stance taught by their fathers when he was still alive would give the shadow concealment ,atleast partialy - allowing it to evade the various arrows more easily.

As the first one arrived a quick movement of the head would be enough to evade it Because of this however, the shadow would be much slower than its counterpart. If it increased the speed it would impact the ability to evade hits therefore endangering the shadow. As the shadow stepped toward the tower however, he would notice that thanks to the floating base the tower would move b ackwards.

The tower would try its best to match the speed of the shadow as it kept backpedaling and shooting. Noticing thi the shadow would immediately step backwards too and try to get back to the house. However the moment it did more arrows would come flying and the tower would step forward. The shadow was in trouble for sure.

Meanwhile this was happening the shadow would begin to turn more and more into a beast as it was looking for the three enemies that had escaped and begun t ohide in the woods. The trail of blood start to get bigger and bigger aswell as fresher and clearler. Clearly the shadow was getting closer for the drops were more and more.

However to better facilitate finding his target the shadow now beast would start to use his nose aswell , trying to find the weak scent these men were emanating. The smell of sweat mixed with fear aswell as blood and burned dirty clothes. Those would be the smell that the shadow would try to pick up as it pwrowled through the forest and hid in bushes.

All of a sudden thr trails of blood would disappear however. How was that possible? As the shadow looked around there could not be found any more blood. It would wait roughly ten seconds, constantly looking around before hearing a sound. *drip* *drip* immediately the smell of blood would accentuate .

*drip* the shadow would begin to follow the sound and would manage to find one last trail of blood. A huse mark onto a tree that kept going up almost as if someone had dragged something. As it begun to climb the tree it would find the body of one of the enemies that escaped, laid on top of a tree branch dripping blood onto the ground.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: While in the wilderness, the user gains a +25 circumstance bonus to stealth checks and may utilize Stealth even in areas without cover or concealment.
Limit: Must be an Inuzuka member. Must know Stealth (25 points).

The shadow could not believe it. The wounds the body had were much worse than what he had imagined. They were also not caused by its previous attacks nor could shrapnels or explosions cause this. These were precise slashing attacks done onto th body in three precise points. One on the neck cutting it from side to side, while one under the armpit and the other in the inner tigh.

Thesse three points were clearly chosen for their deadliness. For if someone were to be struck in any of these places trhey would begin to bleed to death and there would be nlittle to nothing that even an experienced medic could do. This person had been assassinated, perhaps the injuries it had due to the previous fight were too severe.

So much so that they w ere impacting the group , or perhaps due to that the leader decided to get rid of the hindrance and cause the shadow to lose tracks of the other two. The moment the shadow found the body the beast senses would activate and would immediately jump down the tree into a bush stealthing.
