Within the bamboo forest {Training}

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke stepped into his training hollow, within the bamboo forest, and glanced around. Seeing that no-one had followed him Yuusuke reached for his training scroll.

Mokuton: Kamisorikonoha (Razor Leaves)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A large array of leaves swirls around the user. Using chakra, the user sharpens the edge of the leaf to be able to cut through skin and thin cloth with great ease.
Special: Holding Rabbit seal.
Drawback: If the user stops holding the Rabbit seal, then the leaves lose their edge and drop to the ground.
Description: The user performs the Rabbit seal and holds it. Large amounts of leaves begin to blow in a circle around the user and instantly, chakra sharpens the edge to allow the leaves to be able to cut skin and thin cloth. Holding the seal, which is required to keep the jutsu active, also actively drains chakra per turn in order to keep the leaves in motion and to keep their edge. The user can direct the leaves in any direction, effectively creating a wall to keep out enemy shinobi or using it as an offensive tool.
Limit: Mokuton no Jutsu

Yuusuke ran up one of the bamboo trees, and knocked of a large group of leaves. He dropped back down to the floor again and examined how many leaves he had. "That should be enough." He thought to himself. He looked at the pile of leaves, making the handseal of the rabbit Yuusuke used his chakra to try and move the leaves. A couple of the leaves lifted off the floor, and flew a couple steps towards Yuusuke, then dropped to the floor. He let go of the handseal and took a deep breath

Yuusuke held the handseal again, sending out more chakra, he attempted to lift the leaves again. This time he lifted more. Holding the seal he tried to make them spin around him. The leaves rotated once around then dropped to the floor. Yuusuke let go of the handseal and sighed.

Yuusuke made the rabbit seal again, he concentrated on the leaves trying to pick them up. He picked up quite a few this time. He quickly began to put all his effort into making the leaves spin around him. The leaves began to spin around him slowly. Yuusuke released this was not nearly fast enough and released the handseal, the leaves dropped to the floor.

Yuusuke looked at the leaves again. Making the handseal of the rabbit, he attempted to lift up the leaves. He lifted up alot more this time. Using a continues flow of chakra he tried to make the leaves rotate around him. The leaves rotated around him, but again not nearly enough of them, and not nearly fast enough.

Raiton: Raikou no Ken
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user the ability to send small jolts of electricity into the opponent with every hand-strike and arm block for three turns. Can be used in conjunction with most Taijutsu that deal with hand-strikes.
Special: Snake
Drawback: May backfire if user attacks a water clone or other water type barrier etc.
Description: User takes in a very deep breath and holds the snake handsign breifly while their chakra is diverted to their arms. With every punch or other hand strike, the user's chakra is sent out into the opponent's body in a small burst that is electrified. It doesn't cause paralysis immediately, but the strikes do accumulate and it adds to the power of each strike. Basically, you hit harder and you shock as well. A smaller shock is sent out whenever the user blocks an attack with their arms. It is significantly less severe, but it does cause discomfort to the opponent.

How many more times is my training gonna have to be interrupted?

Heavily frustrated at the sudden intrusion Kai had made, Fina could think of nothing more than failure; a time limit was given, and while it seemed this crazed old man finally got sense into him, Fina now found himself being sent on what he’d consider a babysitting session.

In their words, by Fina meeting up with a potential partner, a genin of the Grass, they could train and get to know each other. Several less than desirable utterances hissed out of his mouth in disdain, all aimed at that last comment, and how ridiculously childish it sounded.

But it seemed there was no way out of it. Instead of complaining, Fina would make the best of it. While training weaker techniques, he was training nonetheless, and in the words of Kai, every Raiton jutsu they trained always led to something very powerful at the end of the road; Fina couldn’t wait.

So while his body language did display a bit of dislike in general, he was quiet about the whole ordeal. According to the communiqué received earlier, Fina was in the vicinity of his contact’s training area. While it took him a few seconds to click, when he did, his speed was reduced dramatically and he traveled lower to the ground.

Of course his flicker was no longer needed, for he’d risk the chance of loosing him. So, for now, he’d search quietly, hoping not to interrupt a session involving a highly offensive jutsu that his contact would undoubtedly use on Fina after mistaking his creeping for ill intent.

Occasionally he’d think back to the new technique he’d be learning, the Raikou. While very simplistic compared to everything he’s done so far, it’d enter the realm of taijutsu, a land where he wasn’t quite as proficient as he was over his ninjutsu. Still, with this jutsu, his “weakness” in that field would be eradicated; the rage from earlier began to subside, replaced now by excitement over the unknown.

Punching with my Raiton, huh? Interesting…

During one of his heated mental debates regarding how to properly execute this training, a few minor out-of-the-ordinary noises were faintly heard in the distance. That, coupled with a very distant feeling of small amounts of chakra being molded, led him to believe nature’s harmony had been only slightly disrupted by a familiar intruder.

He’d approach quietly and introduce himself as “Fina” when he was acknowledged.

Sensing a change in the winds, Fina's ears suddenly become atune to a distant hawk crying out. It shouts a repetitive phrase, and soon Fina deciphers the code as a Sasori message:

"Come home for a moment"

What!?

Before flickering [1/4] away, Fina waved goodbye and yelled on his way out:

"I'll be back in a bit!"

[exit thread]

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke sighed. He hadn't even had chance to introduce himself to the possible teammate. He looked back down at the leaves and thought "This is an interesting jutsu and I'm sure it will be very useful if I can get it right." Yuusuke once again made the handseal of the rabbit and molded his chakra to pick up the leaves. He picked up quite a few this time. Again he quickly moved on to concentrating on making them spiral around him. He sent out more chakra to increase the speed of the leaves. Releasing the seal of the rabbit Yuusuke sighed. Once again he hadn't enough leaves, or the speed required for this jutsu.

He lifted up his sleeve briefly and flicked his sound amplifier. "You never know, that Fina guy might be looking for me again." he thought. He looked back at the leaves and made the rabbit handseal. He continued to hold the seal, and released some chakra. He used the chakra to pick up an even larger amount of leaves than before. Molding his chakra, he focused on making the leaves spiral around himself. The leaves spun faster this time. But again he hadn't got enough leaves, or got them rotating quick enough. He released the handseal and let out a long sigh.

He smiled, he was obviously getting better at the jutsu. He quickly made the handseal of the rabbit again and picked up a larger amount of the leaves this time. He quickly re-directed his concentration to making the leaves spiral around him. The leaves spiraled quickly around him. He felt a sudden surge of glee, he was progressing with the jutsu. But he needed to do the basic one more time, to get this part right. He released the handseal and readied himself for another go at the jutsu.

Yuusuke lifted up his arms and made the handseal of the rabbit. He lifted up pretty much every leaf he had knocked off the tree this time. He quickly redirected his chakra into making the leaves rotate around himself. He had finally masted the first part of the jutsu.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke looked about. He guessed his possible partner wasn't returning, for now. He would go look for him after he had mastered this justu. Yuusuke made the handseal of the rabbit again and molded some chakra into picking up the leaves. He then molded the chakra so that the leaves rotated around him quickly. Then, whilst continuesly keeping the leaves rotating, he tried to use some chakra to make the leaf edges sharpen. As he did the leaves dropped to the floor. He obviously hadn't concentrated enough on keeping the leaves spinning. He released the rabbit seal, and pushed the leaves back into a pile in front of him.

Again Yuusuke made the handseal of the rabbit and used some chakra to pick up the leaves. He molded the chakra into making the leaves spin around himself. Then he began to concentrate on making the leaves sharpen. Releasing a small amount of chakra per leaf Yuusuke began to sharpen the leaves. Once he thought they were sharp enough he used his chakra to try and throw the leaves forward at a nearby bamboo tree. The leaves scrapped past the tree. Walking over to inspect the tree Yuusuke discovered that the leaves had hardly scratched it. Gathering the leaves back into a pile Yuusuke stood a couple steps away from them.

Sighin Shinti looked at the pile of leaves before him. "Hmm, I'm about halfway there now, just a few more tries and I should have this jutsu down." He made the sign of the rabbit, released enough chakra to lift the leaves. He then brought the leaves to him and began to make them rotate around himself, as he did he released more chakra to increase the speed the leaves were moving. Concentrating on the leaves he released more chakra and began to sharpen the leaves. When he thought the leaves were sharp enough he used his chakra to send the leaves flying towards the tree. Yuusuke walked over to the tree to inspect it. He had only done mild damage to the tree again. He collected the leaves and went back to face the tree.

Looking down at the leaves once more he thought to himself. "I wonder how many other jutsu's I could come up with myself that would use leaves?" Yuusuke pondered the thought for a moment then looked back at the leaves. Making the rabbit handseal he released some chakra and picked up the leaves. He used the chakra to make the leaves rotate around himself, he released a small amount of extra chakra to increase the speed. He released more chakra and began sharpening the leaves. Once he felt the leaves where sharp enough he sent them forward. He walked forward to inspect the tree. More damage but not enough. He gathered the leaves up and went back to his original spot.

Yuusuke looked up at the mid-afternoon sky, his training hollow was quite well shaded my the bamboo trees, and rays of sun pierced the leaves and shone upon the ground. Again he made the sign of the rabbit, releasing some chakra he picked up the leaves and made them rotate around him. He released some more chakra and sharpened the leaves. Once he felt the leaves were sharp enough he released a small amount of chakra and sent the leaves flying towards the tree. He then walked forward to check the tree, again he had done more damage than the previous time, but still not enough. He collected the leaves again and pilled them in front of him.

He made the handseal of the rabbit and released some chakra to make the leaves circle himself. He released more chakra to increase the speed they were rotating at. He then released more chakra and concentrated on sharpening the edges of the leaves to a point where they would make a decent cut. He released more chakra and sent the leaves flying towards the tree. He walked over to the tree once more. "Much better." he thought to himself. Smiling he collected the leaves back up.

Yuusuke was having a brief rest when suddenly a man burst from the bushes. Yuusuke looked at the man confused."Give me all your money. The man demanded.
"Sod off and leave me alone." Yuusuke replied.
"No-one talks to me like that. You know I could kill you right now."
"Really?"Yuusuke asked rising to his feet.
"Yes, really. Now hand over the money before I gut ya." The man said angrily and pulled out a katana. Yuusuke watched the man fascinated. Suddenly the man broke out into a run swinging his sword wildly. Yuusuke jumped behind the man, and pulled up his right sleeve, revealing his Sound Wave Amplifier. The man ran at Yuusuke again. This time Yuusuke stood still, as the man got closer Yuusuke spun round leading a strike with his right arm. The man quickly lifted his sword to block the attack. The amplifier hit the sword, suddenly a large sound was emitted from the amplifier, Yuusuke used some chakra along with the general direction his arm was moving to direct the sound to the mans eardrums. The man dropped his katana and fell to his knees clutching his ear. Yuusuke jumped up into a tree and made the handseal of the rabbit. Releasing some chakra he made the leaves circle him. Releasing some more he increased the speed. And a bit more, he sharpened the leaves. Then suddenly he sent the leaves towards the man. There was a large yelp of pain then a thud as the man hit the ground. Yuusuke watched as the man was cut to ribbons by the leaves. Yuusuke smirked "Thats what you get when you do something stupid." The man was bleeding all over, in a couple of moments he would bleed to death. Yuusuke watched happily.

As predicted after a couple of minutes the man died. Yuusuke sat on the branch and looked at the sky. "Oh well." He thought.

“I need to go!”

An anxious Fina beckoned for freedom at his master’s feet, only to continuously be swatted away by a flickering hand. Nothing he did or said would force the old man to let him go back, regardless of who he kept waiting; unfortunately for Fina, he’d once again appear inconsiderate and evil in the eyes of others over his master’s age related annoying ways.

So in an effort to make this as quick as possible, Fina would surrender to the old man’s woes, hoping he’d go through whatever it is he had to say fast enough to still be able to return at a respectable hour. Quick nods would be shown by the young man at every single word the old man gave, and resistance no longer shared an existence in Fina’s vocabulary.

"Hyuu…I see you haven’t finished training your Raikou. Just do this and then you can go: watch me."

That last part was well enunciated, as well as accompanied by the old man’s ability to graphically represent anything; in this case, he pulled the bags under his eyes down and exposed a bloody red eyeball. Fina, slightly disgusted, still nodded in an agreeing manner, though hesitantly and sickly so; after he held back his nausea, the Sharingan would come into play.

Odd noises and grunts were emitted as the old man left the resting position by his cane, choosing a higher path to assisted walking, one involving the wonderful powers of chakra. Adopting a countenance unlike his previous old man ways, Kai now stood erect, his legs and arms full of power, no longer existing in a limp, dead like manner.

Hands that once were plagued with age related diseases, whose use could not extend past a few minutes of writing, now formed the snake hand seal perfectly. It was evident: this old man no longer felt old. Chakra surged in him and he moved like the wind. Through the eyes of a demon, Fina was privy to not only the workings of the technique, but the chakra points in Kai’s body that were active. With a smile, he now understood the old man’s impertinence towards this final lesson before he took off.

After a few example strikes towards the dummy intended for Fina to practice his taijutsu, Kai realized his health would be better off with him as a slave of a cane and not a master of the shinobi world. A bright smile plagued his face as he returned to his cane, slowly hobbling over it and clutching it, no longer displaying the prowess of a seasoned ninja. But still, for that brief moment, the bumbling fool of a master had become a god; Fina smiled.

With his Sharingan still active, he would spend a little time practicing the technique before preparing himself to return to the bamboo grove, where a fellow comrade and potential friend was training his heart out.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke looked down at the man he had just killed. "It was his own fault, I didn't do anything but defend myself, foolish bastard." Yuusuke thought to himself. He walked around collecting up the leaves he had just used. He looked at the fur on his back, if he used a small amount of chakra he could keep leaves hidden within it (This has already been approved as a CW check my profile). He released a small amount of chakra and used it to hold the leaves in the fur on his back. "This could be very useful." He thought smiling to himself. Suddenly out of the blue another man burst into the clearing shouting "You killed my brother, you little shit." Shinti quickly made the rabbit handseal and released some chakra. He used the chakra to make the leaves in his fur spiral around him. The man ran at Yuusuke punching erratically. Yuusuke increased the speed of the leaves and sharpened them. The man reached Yuusuke and threw a punch. Yuusuke concentrated the leaves to where the punch was directed, the mans hand hit the leaves and that was it.

The man took a step back and prepared to attack again. Yuusuke continued spinning the leaves, it was draining his chakra quickly doing this. The man jumped and tried to kick Yuusuke this time. Concentrating the leaves to the point of attack, he blocked the attack once again. Yuusuke decided it was his turn to attack and sent the leaves flying towards the man. The leaves cut the man all over and he fell to his knees and yelped in pain. Yuusuke exerted more chakra, and curved the leaves around leading them in for a second attack. The leaves hit the man from the side, he had no time to dodge, he fell to the floor still yelping in pain, Yuusuke returned the leaves to him.

The leaves rotated round Yuusuke once more. The man began to get to his feet. "How can you still be standing?" Yuusuke asked. The man did not respond just screamed and ran at Yuusuke, in a final attempt to do some damage. Yuusuke released some more chakra and concentrated the leaves on the point where the man was attacking. As he did he brought the rest of the leaves around and directed them at the man, cutting him again. The man dropped to the floor, without a sound. Yuusuke returned the leaves to his fur and listened. There was an uncomfortable silence, the silence of death. Yuusuke walked over to the body and checked the pulse. "I bet he was dead before hit the ground." He thought to himself. He smiled and looked up at the sky.

[Umehara]

Learned.

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke looked around the grassy hollow, wondering when Fina would return. He thought about what he could learn next, then he remembered something, the special village techniques he had been told about. He pulled out a scroll and read it.

Demon of the Plains
Rank: "C"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Multiple points of moderate damage
Special: Horse and Dragon seal (If juctioned with Blades of Grass this technique becomes something else.)
Drawback: Can only be used in a grassy area
Description: This technique allows the user to strike an opponent in critical places multiple times, appearing out of the grass. When used, chakra is transferred all over the body to allow the user to fuse with the grass. The user then travels behind the opponent in the blink of an eye, strikes and then disappears again. This is repeated a total of six times, the final time ending in an uppercut, with either weapon or fist, with a whirlwind of grass circling the user.
Limit: Any grass ninja can learn

"Ah, perfect." Yuusuke thought. He looked around, the grass here should be long enough. He glanced around then made the handseals of the horse and the dragon, then began releasing chakra all over his body. He was going to try and move across the clearing through the grass almost instantly. He quickly tried. He moved forward about 1 metre, before losing his focus of chakra.

Yuusuke made the handseals of the horse and dragon again, then released some chakra all over his body. Then he touched the grass and began to fuse with it, he quickly tried to go as far forward as he could. This time he traveled two metres before once again losing his concentration.

Yuusuke walked back to his starting point. He made the handseal of the horse and dragon again and released more chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass trying to merge with it, the second he felt some sucess he tried to go as far forward as he could. Once again he traveled only a couple of metres.

Yuusuke was growing frustrated by this jutsu it seemed pointless, but almost definatly wasn't. He once again made the handseals of horse and dragon, he released even more chakra throughout his body this time. He touched the grass and tried to fuse with it. He moved 4 metres forward before he lost his concentration. He stood up and looked around.

[👺 Usiel]

Fina did you get TP for your post too or what?

4/30

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

Yuusuke looked around, wondering where Fina could be. Just in case he got lost Yuusuke gave his Sound Wave Amplifier a quick flick. After the sound stopped Yuusuke went back to his jutsu. He made the handseals of the horse and dragon, then released chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass and felt himself fuse with it, he used the grass to move forward. He moved forward 5 metres. "Still not enough."

He walked back across the clearing and glanced around, still no Fina. "Oh well, he will get here soon enough." Yuusuke thought. He looked at the grass and made the handseals of horse and dragon, then released a larger amount of chakra. He touched the grass, feeling himself fuse with it he quickly moved forward. He moved six metres then stopped because he lost concentration. "Half way." He thought.

He made his way back across the clearing, he glanced at the two dead men. He ought to bury them but the didn't deserve it, but they would start to smell soon, he would move them after the jutsu was learnt. He quickly made the handseals of horse and dragon then released chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass and fused with it, as soon as he felt the fusion he moved forward. He moved seven metres, then stopped because he lost concentration.

"God damn it Yuusuke, concentrate." He looked at the grass again. He walked back to where he started and made the handseals of horse and dragon. He released chakra throughout his body, then touched the grass. He felt himself begin to fuse with the grass. Within an instant Yuusuke had moved 8 metres before stopping.

Yuusuke was gradually getting annoyed with this jutsu, it was more difficult than it seemed. Once again he made the handseals of horse and dragon, then released chakra throughout his body. Once he felt like there was a sufficient amount of chakra he touched the grass. He began to fuse with the grass, and almost instantaneously he moved 9 metres across the clearing.

He walked back to his starting point. He could feel his chakra draining, and he had no solider pills with him. He looked at the grass "I have to get this jutsu right soon." Once again he made the handseals of the horse and the dragon. He released chakra throughout his body. He could feel the chakra radiating off him, he touched the grass and fused with it. He quickly moved 10 metres across the clearing, before stopping.

He grew angrier by the second. He returned to his staring point and prepared for the jutsu again. He made the handseals of horse and dragon, then released even more chakra from his body. He touched the grass and fused with it. Almost instantly he traveled 11 metres across the clearing. "Just one more damn metre."

Yuusuke walked back to his starting point. He glanced around still wondering where Fina had got to. He quickly made the handseals of horse and dragon, then released more chakra than before. He touched the grass and quickly fused with it. He moved so fast, he went 12 metres across the clearing and stopped. "Finally. All twelve metres." He thought.

lol, no one gave me tp for it. I'd like some...

[-- Hoshigake, Ryuji]

{Fina, are you coming to train with me again, or was that your only post??}

Yuusuke looked around. Now that he had the first part of the jutsu mastered he could move on. He would try and move around the grass in quick succession instead of just once. He made the handseal of the horse and the dragon and released some chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass and fused with it. He moved forward a few metres. Then he stopped, he tried to do another movement but he hadn't kept releasing chakra therefore couldn't do it again.

He walked back to his starting point. He wondered how hard this part would be to do. He made the handseals of horse and dragon again, then released some chakra throughout his body. Before he touched the grass he made it so that there was a constant release of chakra all over his body. He touched the grass and felt himself fuse with it. He moved forward a couple of metres. As he was still releasing chakra when he touched the grass again he moved another couple of metres before losing concentration and stopping.

"I've got to keep my concentration, and make sure i keep releasing chakra." He thought to himself. He once again made the handseals of horse and dragon, and began releasing chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass and felt himself fuse with it. He moved forward a couple of metres then stopped. Then he touched the grass again and moved another direction a couple of metres. Still releasing chakra he touched the grass once more, and again almost instantly he moved another couple of metres. He went to touch the grass again but realized he had stopped releasing chakra.

Yuusuke smiled and looked around, Fina still hadn't turned up. He made the handseals of horse and dragon again, then started releasing chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass once more, he fused with it quickly, then moved forward. Still releasing chakra, he stopped then moved again. He continued releasing chakra and move a couple of metres in another direction. Then he touched the grass again and moved a couple more metres. He tried moving again but had stopped releasing chakra.

"Damn it. I have to get this right." He thought. He made the handseals of horse and dragon again, then began to release chakra throughout his body. Then he touched the grass, he felt himself fuse with the grass. Almost instantly he moved forward. He continued to release chakra whilst he moved. He moved 5 times before stopping because he lost concentration.

He was almost at the six movements he needed for the jutsu. Hopefully he would manage this time. He made the handseals of the horse and the dragon, then started releasing a constant stream of chakra throughout his body. He touched the grass and fused with it. He instantaneously moved a couple of metres. He went on to move another 5 times, making a total of six. "That's perfect for this jutsu." he thought. He looked around again checking for Fina, but there was still no sign of him.

[[Yeah, I want to come back, but you're on overdrive bud; you keep posting before me! BTW, for the next mod to judge this: my previous post was unjudged! I'd appreciate if it got graded along with this one. I had my Sharingan active for the previous one as well as this one too. Thanks in advance.]]

“Oh no…”

Several curse words would come after his cry for worry and concern as a dismay filled Fina dove out of the room he stood in, warping a normal goodbye into a convoluted mess of gyrations and mumbles. But Kai would understand, wouldn’t he? Not only was that old man odd as hell, he was also a shinobi; he would understand what it meant to honor chivalry and display good manners in the presence of comrades.

So with that half assed reassurance swallowed and digested, Fina darted out of the vicinity of Kai’s humble abode, waving once more behind him before getting in position to speed off. When ready, his body would no longer move at worldly speeds, flickering off [1] instantaneously towards the horizon. For the casual passerby staring the Sasori down, they’d be scared off by his disappearing act, attributing his ability to no longer “exist” as knowledge of witchcraft or some other dark act.

But it was all simple ninjanomics; a smile curved at the side’s of the young man’s mouth as old farmer friend of Kai noticed his godly movements, leaving the old man to cower in place, wondering exactly what the hell Fina was on and who was he. After a good laughing fit, the Sasori ensued his heated travel, reaching the target location in less than an hour.

However, upon arrival, Fina would be greeted with strife and violence. Unlike the previous peace filled scene, where the trainee was able to be one with nature, gathering the purest forms of chakra, harvesting it for the user’s bidding, the blood of the wicked would spill wildly over the earth. It seemed the earth would be stained with crimson once more; fortunately for the conscience of the killer, the worth of the lives of the slain were next to nil, or at least it seemed so in the eyes of the shinobi.

Who were the causers of such disorder? Well, none other than a few unknown thugs and robbers looking for a good time. What appeared to the men as a helpless young boy lost in the forest was revealed to be a wicked beast whose claws would tear away at one’s very own flesh and sanity. Despite not knowing this comrade at all, Fina could feel some sort of positive feelings birth themselves at the pit of his stomach over the idea he belonged to a village that could kick ass.

Don’t have TOO much fun

A straggler existed nearby the location of the murder scene, scanning the area in a hidden fashion while the others distracted the genin. Catching this, Fina’s eyes would suddenly flare up in a red and black, his two tomoe Sharingan active and ready to read the world. One glance down at his up and coming prey and he’d smile; a chance to practice his newest jutsu had presented itself.

Before leaving the comforts of the branch on which he perched himself on, the snake hand seal would form and thunder chakra would be molded, all in the name of justice. Now certainly the technique wasn’t ready for full use, but considering the difficulty of his opponent, a half assed version would certainly suffice; his smiling continue as the Raiton jutsu emerged.

A few times did he find his hand to sting from the pain of his own shocks, but once he got passed that, it was on; with one fell swoop, the Sharingan toting genin smacked the bandit down, laying two solid electrical bitch slaps across his face and neck. Within seconds, the bandit was down; Fina smiled again.

Once the man was completely out, Fina’s free unjolted hand came around and slap him twice in the cheek, in a “good game” fashion. Nothing more could be done with the man now, so Fina decided to delay his arrival no more; surely he had been heard. No more did the Sharingan exist on the Sasori’s countenance; that was a secret he liked kept…secret.

When ready, he would head over to his genin comrade, one hand in the air waving politely.
