[Mission] The Hamaguri Rebellion!

[Hana~Kyo]

Once again Toshi would bite down into his lip as he noticed the girl following him, half of him was glad that she had followed him… he had the strange and unexplainable urge to protect this captivating young woman; but the other half of him was disappointed by the fact that he did not want her to see the actions he would soon carry out, it was a scar that too some would never heal to most normal people. As much as he wanted to think about it now, he had more pressing matters to attend to and would have to push those thoughts aside until later. For now he had to continue into the building, he would step further inside and take a look around taking note of the stairs leading to the upper level and the faint red light visible underneath the door.

Once again it was time for a decision, something that Toshi’s past did not speak well for him about. Of course, he also did not forget to rule out being followed. He did not check earlier but it would obvious to assume some one was coming; after all he had just escaped from over a dozen guards in the mansion that was not all too far away. To deal with this problem however, he had already formulated a plan; his hand would slide down into his pouch and pull out a medium sized bottle of ink which he would place on the ground in front of him before doing a few hand seals. His chakra would flow into the ink and reshape its very structure into something that would be of great use given the current situation.

Keeping in mind that his pursuers were not ninja, he would make sure Natsuki was inside and slide the door shut behind them, which served to increase the darkness around them. He would then take the ink and pour some of it into each of the hinges on the door and then more into the crack between the door and the frame on the side with the handle where the locking mechanism would be. This ink was extremely sticky and to most people without any chakra enhancements or techniques would have quite a hard time opening it; thus sealing the door off to any of the body guards that were lacked ninja training.

Now that his back had been covered, at least for now, it was time to think about where to head next inside the house. Most things he thought about too hard in this kind of situation would just serve to confuse him so he made a quick decision and went with it, there would be a few quick steps and his foot would rise and the sole of his boot would slam into the door with a solid straight kick, most likely sending the door crashing inward and revealing whatever was emanating the strange red light to both Toshi and Natsuki. After taking a good look at the room he would turn and sprint down the stairs.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Thank goodness the young man was captivated by her, it meant she was able to stay close to him no matter what. He even, like a gentleman, locked the door behind her. Of course, this served a second purpose as he began to work quickly with his ink. As he began to apply the ink to the hinges and other areas, the girl looked down to the ground. Bangs seemingly covering her eyes as the Sharingan swirled once more. Her head would look to the right, the red light seemed to captivate the girl. While he got to work, she'd begin to examine the house, the stairs were also interesting to her as well.

She'd return to his side like a lost sheep, only for him to eventually kick the door down. A bright red line would shine into their face until their eyes better adjusted. Now then, it was time to go down the stairs were the following scene would be happening:

There was a small circular table, complimented with some chairs. Gathered around was Toya, and three other males. They were unguarded for the most part and the other three men weren't even Ninja. What were they doing? Playing poker of course~! They were so confident in the rebellion that they weren't even worried about anyone finding them...crazy! Yet as soon as they heard the door broken down, they were all on red alert. The three men seemed to cower behind Toya whom looked up. A sword was held behind his back, it was a high class great sword, his hand grasped the handle and was ready to draw it within a moments notice. He didn't wear his old headband to indicate it was him but perhaps the sword alone would be more than enough proof.

"Don't move...Kiri-nin!"

His foot would move forward only to activate a trap, the stairs they were on would collapse into a slide of sorts, causing the two to slide down to the basement floor below. Kunai would be launched at them once they reached the bottom. "Ninja Art, Hidden Mist Jutsu!" He'd declare as Mist began to fill the room. He was planning to take out this one ninja and hope it'd spark Kirigakure to send backup for their fallen comrade. In the meanwhile, within less than tweenty minutes the rebellion would begin, villagers would die!

To add ot the building action, within the middle point stop the guards who had escaped Toshi were waiting around. They had throughly binded a young maiden, if one had access to see within the room an all too familiar figure could be seen. Light blue sleeveless top, pink belt worn along the right hip and diagonally down to the left, mini skirt and black sandals... Navy blue locks that fell to the mid back, pink lips and of course, fallen to the ground due to both arms being tied up and hung to either side; was Captain Kiri.

Que the ANBU with the plan~

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Jutsu) is a increased and stronger form of the Regular Bushin jutsu which is a meer Genjutsu. Kage Bushin allows the clones to actually inflict damage upon the opponent, They can even use jutsu for they carry their own chakra circulatory system making it even impossible for the Hyuuga clan members to tell them apart from the original. Each clone that the user makes divides his.her chakra up evenly between them making ten clones means each clone has one tenth the original users chakra supply. The clones are real enough they even bleed when cut but when inflicted with enough damage the clone disappears.
Special: A special Handsign where the user crosses the two first fingers of each hand making a cross.
Drawback: The average user can only make about 5 clones. Excessive use of the Clone jutsu can leave the use extremely low on chakra. When the clones are destroyed the user does not get a return in charka.
Description: The Kage Bushin is an Exact Replica of the user and can not in anyway be proven to be a copy not even by the most elite of jutsu. Unless taken to the test and actually harmed.
Limit: Must be an ANBU. Must be Chuunin in order to get this technique. Kage only is capable of allowing someone to learn.

Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Skill where a user uses the water around them to create a massive mist to fill around the user.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: A skill which creates a very dense fog that descreases the surrounding visibility to near zero. It produces an environment perfect for a silent assassin who follows an opponent through sound. This mist can not be blown away by any type of Wind Jutsu.
Limit: Water Release

[Hana~Kyo]

Half way down the steps, Toshi’s feet would give out as the stairs folded up into slope that would send him sliding down into the basement; his balance was good enough to fall over but it surely took him by surprise. The moment his feet hit the ground at the bottom of the stairs his eyes would lock with those of the other for only a moment, for seconds later the room would be blanketed in a solid cloud of mist. This gave away the fact that the man he had locked eyes with was indeed a ninja, but seriously… who did he think he was dealing with. Toshi grew up in the mists of the nation, and he had sure as hell been victim to this technique a number of times, he knew this technique in and out; it clouded his opponent’s vision just as much as it did his own and the best thing they both had to work off was sounds.

In fact, this mist would work even more to Toshi’s advantage than the one who had used it in the first place; a necessary ability of an ANBU, to adapt and turn any bad situation into one for your own advantage. The first step to his plan was a string of seals that formed before water would mix with the earth and form ink before rising up and creating a clone of Toshi that stood next to the original. Next would be yet another few hand seals that would activate an ANBU technique that Kaien had trained him in earlier. A genjutsu he had used earlier in his mission, in the eyes of his opponent the mist would thicken to the point that he would not be able to see Toshi even if he were standing mere inches in front of him; while to Toshi he would still be able to see things, as well as he possibly could given the circumstances.

Last but not least, he would form a few final seals and the ink that comprised the body of his clone would become highly volatile, if in fact the mist ninja were to attack the clone and strike it; the ink clone would fall back into ink and turn to powerful flames right on top of him. With little else he could do given the situation he would simply wait there for the man to make his move and hope for the best.

Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu (Ink Clone Technique)
Rank: C-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create up to five clones of themselves using ink.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: The Ink clones are incapable of performing any type of special techniques, only taijutsu.
Description: Gathering chakra, the user will then perform the correct handseals. Injecting that chakra into masses of ink, the user is then capable of forming that ink into a perfect likeness of his or herself. The clones, since they are made of ink, retain any special property that the ink has. The initial time that this jutsu is learned allows for the creation of a maximum of five clones- however, each time this technique is re-trained, the number of clones the user is capable of creating increases by five.
Limit: Li Clan Jutsu.

Sumi Koiheki
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a barrier of dense ink around the user in order to block attacks.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The attack is only capable of sustaining up to one "B" Rank's worth of damage. If any more is received, then the barrier collapses.
Description: Using the handseals, the user will call upon a large amount of chakra. Targeting specifically the user's sweat glands and pores, the user will force themselves to emit a large amount of sweat rapidly. Using their ability to make ink, this sweat becomes imbued with the user's chakra, giving it strength and changing it into ink. The ink, if an imbuing technique has been used before this ability, can take on the properties of that ink. The barrier will extend outward about a foot. When one turn has passed, the ink barrier will collapse, falling down into the ground, leaving a large puddle of ink.
Limit: Li Clan Technique. Must know Hadasumi Soushi. Non-medics will have to train 70 TP instead of the usual 60 in order to gain this ability.

Hitoku no Jutsu
Rank: D-ranked
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: ---
Special: Ram; Horse
Drawback: ---
Description: A basic ANBU genjutsu, this causes the user and the area immediately around the user (within one meter) to change in ways that would better aid the user in hiding. For example, in a darkened area the shadows will seem to converge on and around the ANBU, further hiding him from sight. In a forested area, the technique would discolour the user to better blend him in with the surroundings, as well as altering the plants in the area to better shield him. Note that all of these effects are purely illusionary; the shadows in the first example, the discolouration and the plant alteration of the second example. The jutsu works primarily because it is subtle, taking little chakra and having a small localized effect, even those who could pierce the illusion rarely give it enough notice to do so. Depending on the level of the Character's GenJutsu depends on how strong the Jutsu.
Limit: ANBU only
Division: Universal Techniques.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

With the stairs collapsing into that of a slope, the girl behind him would quickly adjust, sliding down as if surfing on the slope until she landed at the base of the stairs. It seemed the ninja was distracted with the men downstairs and paid no attention to the girl behind him. Whilst the man may have figured he was at an advantage, no sooner did several clones of the man appear to surround the dynamic duo. It would seem both ninja favoured the use of clones for this scuffule. Next the man seemed to prepare a genjutsu which was very useful as it served to hide him within the mist. Very good moves, as expected of someone from Kirigakure however his job wasn't to play defense, it was to play offense.

For the one who was supposed to play defense was going to be playing a very hard defense game. Stepping back now that his own form was disguised within the mist, he'd open a secret passage that allowed for the other men with him to disappear. As far as this bunshin was concerned, he needed to stall for time so that the rebellion would commence above. "Catch me if you can...Kiri-nin."
Meanwhile outside of the basement, connecting to the underground pathway, the grass ninja from the mansion had arrived. He was now within the very room that the real Natsuki was waiting. It would seem an intricate web had been weaved for those of Mist who came to interfere with Toya's plans. So then, what of the girl who was near Toshizo? She seemed to step back momentarily, a puff of smoke would be heard and "Natsuki" was no longer behind him. Rather, a raven haired princess would be in her place. Her hair was shoulder length, spiky at the ends as well as her bangs. The tips were dyed red, as was her lucious lips. She was wearing a black cloak which had short sleeves. It concealed the black pants and sandals, as well as the white sleeveless kimono.

"Honestly, I thought I was retired..." She mumbled, though the tone of her voice...one could discern that she was indeed an expert.

Oboro Bunshin no Jutsu (Mist Clone Skill)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows a user to create clones out of Mist.
Special: Serpent, Tiger, Dragon, Monkey, Bird, Tiger
Drawback: ----
Description: A technique which creates clones with the properties of mist. Although the clones are unable to inflict damage on an opponent, any physical attacks attempted on them pass right through. Depending on the user's class level is dependent on how well and how much the user is capable of performing at one given time. If the user is "D" Class they are capable of performing four Clones at once. If the user is "C" Class they are capable of performing eight clones at once. If the user is "B" Class they are capable of performing sixteen clones at once. If the user is "A" Class they are capable of performing thirty two clones at once. If the user is "S" Class they are capable of performing sixty four clones at once. If the user is to be considered a non NinJutsu specialist the number is reduced by two for every class level that the user becomes, and if the user is a NinJutsu Master the number increases by two for every class level they become.
Limit: Water Release

Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 3rd Tomoe
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attackerfs next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha clan member to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there. This also opens up a door to more powerful techniques within the third tomoe Sharingan eye.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user can not copy techniques which are unique to another bloodline. User must have the Release, or Perception in order to copy the type of Release or Perception they wish to learn. The user is incapable of copying a technique that has specific prerequisites such as another technique is needed first.
Description: Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye") 3rd Tomoe The eyes of the user turns red in color with a black pupil in the middle. Three Tomoe (Comma) appears around the pupil. Each eye gains three Tomoe. At this stage the user is at the peak of power and capabilities of the Sharingan without sacrificing anything. At this stage the user's eye seems somewhat better as they are capable of piercing more into GenJutsus. At this stage they are capable of predicting medium movements, as well as copying medium techniques. When the user first gains the third tomoe the user is capable of seeing through GenJutsus of "A" Rank and under. At this stage the user is capable of predicting medium movements of the user. The user is capable of predicting five movements. At this point the user is capable of copying techniques with greater proficiency. The type of copying does not add into the user's overall Training Points within a Class Level. When a user copies a technique to learn for every regular training point a user gets the user will get two additional training points which is called Sharingan Points. These points allows a user to learn techniques faster, but this affects the user's learning capabilities but not the overall Training Points to raise a Class Level.
Limit: Must be part of the Uchiha clan (‚¤‚¿‚͈ꑰ "Uchiha family"), Must know Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe. Only obtainable after three events or interaction missions after obtaining Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe

[Hana~Kyo]

Time would pass and no attack would come, he would simply the words of his target taunting him to follow, if he had asked him to follow in this sort of situation it must have meant there is another exit from the room since Toshi knew he did not pass him and go up the stairs because he did not hear the stairs return from their sloped form. His eyes would turn to the side looking for Natsuki to ensure she was still ok, but what he saw was nothing near anything he had expected; in a poof of smoke the small and slender form of the young woman he had been with vanished and became that of another woman, her crimson eyes piercing Toshi’s body.

Something in his head clicked into place with this new development, he had been tricked and Natsuki was in even more danger now because of his blind attempt to rescue her. His anger had clouded his judgment in a tight situation and because of this he had endangered the well being of the very person he was trying his hardest to protect. With this realization would come a new look, his eyes would narrow once again and anyone who saw them would see such an intense and unimaginable rage, his teeth would return to the corner of his lip, reopening the wound he had made earlier as they bit deep into his flesh. He wanted with every fiber of his being to kill this woman right here, right now but he had had to save Natsuki; he had failed once and would not fail to do so again.

”I will deal with you later…” his words were as cold and murderous as they had ever been, accompanying his statement would be the collapse of his clone. The moment it fell apart and returned to its ink state, it would burst into flame briefly at which point Toshi would shield his eyes. During that brief moment if the woman had been looking at him, she would be forced to close her eyes from the sudden bright light in the dark; next would be the thick smoke that would rise from what once was the fire, it was so thick that it would blanket the room and block the vision of anything within it. Once that had been taken care of, he would flicker away toward the direction he had heard the other ninja’s voice come from.

As soon as he was over there he was able to locate the secret passage that the man had took, and he would quickly run from the woman. To further block the woman’s pursuit of him he would wait until he was a few feet inside the passage before turning to the entrance way. Chakra would build up in his throat and a second later he would spit volatile black ink from his mouth, it would stick to all sides of the entrance, top to bottom. After the last bit had left his mouth, he would click his teeth and ignite the ink causing it to burst into black flames that would encompass the entirety of the entrance to the passage. Now he would turn back around and sprint down the passage in pursuit of the man, until finally he would come upon a room where he saw both Natsuki and the mist ninja.

Katon: Sumiiro Nenshou (Ink-Black Combustion)
Rank: C-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user expels a stream of highly-flammable, sticky, black ink from their mouth that clings to the opponent and anything else it lands on. Resulting in an explosion.
Special: None
Drawback: Caution is needed when using this technique as the ink clings to everything, and distance between the user and opponent is vital as to not get caught in the resulting explosion.
Description: The user focuses chakra to their stomach and expels a long stream of flammable, sticky, black ink. The ink is so sticky that it will cling to anything like glue, and if the opponent steps into it, they will be stuck in place. Immediately after the ink is expelled the user clicks their teeth, resulting in the ink igniting and a small-localized explosion. Due to the color of the ink, the flames will be pitch black in color.
Limit: Must know Hadasumi Soushi, Sumi Secchakuzai, and Sumi Nenshou.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Everything was beginning to click with the teen now, Sharingan eyes pierced into his body, looking into his own sapphire eyes. The minute he made eye contact with her, it'd already be too late. She'd briefly hypnotize the boy into thinking she was left behind by his attempts to get away from her. Honestly, within the young woman's mind, the boy was probably a genin. There was no way this boy was any rank higher, yet he'd use an advanced level technique that she herself had seen and even knew. "Is Mist really in such a state that they let boy's like him join ANBU...?" she thought to herself as she followed along in silence.

They began to run, him not realizing that she was still beside him, footsteps filling the underground passageway until they stumbled upon a room. This room was the half-way point and the guards seemed to gather around Natsuki. Unfortunately, they'd miss their chance to have "fun" for Toya's Shadow clone as well as the missing grass ninja had gathered. Obviously the man was not too pleased with this tactic, in fact the guards were all slaughtered now...leaving just the three to their own musing. Of course, Toya's shadow clone would release his own daughter. His look taking on that of a very concerned father. "Natsuki, I'm taking you home immediately." and there was no room for arguments in the matter.

Out of the corner of his eye he'd be able to see the oncomming group and was quick to cast the Hidden Mist jutsu once more. This would shrowd his movements and allow him to carry his daughter to safety. At least that's what he attempted but before those hand seals could be formed, a sword skewered him through the stomach. "I don't have time to play games..." the Uchiha woman had revealed herself, even Toshi would be able to see her now. She managed to help Natsuki whom embraced her in a tight hug. Crimson eyes now set upon Toshi once more.

"Kid, you should go home...you're not strong enough to handle this."

Of course what would probably spark an argument between the two allowed for the grass missing ninja to observe the situation. He adjusted his purple shades, spikey green hair gelled and kept firmly in place. His green suite and purple obi was rather amusing but what was more important was that the whole time the man's eyes were closed.

"Show time."

He disappeared from his position with a flicker only to reappear infront of Toshi, a swift uppercut moving to plant a good one to his jaw. He figured he'd start light and see how strong the boy was. He had plenty of time to deal with the Uchiha woman later, clearly she was working as a double agent, meaning to foil the rebellion all along. The fact that she was let on the plans, a bad setback on their part, oh well.

Sharingan Hypnosis State
Rank: "A", "S" Rank
Type: NinJutsu
Effect: A Hypnosis technique where the user is capable of making the opponent perform, or do something that is against the will of the opponent.
Special: User must make contact with the opponent as the Sharingan Three Tomoe spins.
Drawback: User incapable of making a person performing something that goes against their morals and code such as attacking a friend.
Description: The eye begins to spin as all three black dots spin in a slow hypnotic like state as the effect takes place. This allows the user to suggest something towards the opponent in which they must follow. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are capable of making an opponent doing small creations, small things such as falling asleep, moving, within the amount of four rounds, plus one round for every Class the user is higher then "C" Class. When the user learns the "S" rank of this technique they are capable of making those that they hypnotize perform greater feats instead of just moving, falling asleep or anything such as that. The user is capable of making those that they hypnotize to perform harsh tasks such as copying documents. At no time the user is capable of making an opponent perform a technique. The user when learning the "S" rank version is capable of keeping control against an opponent for an amount of six rounds plus every round the user is higher then "B" Class.
Limit: Must have Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 3rd Tomoe.

Kusomimi (HellsEars)
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

Shunshin 1/3

[Hana~Kyo]

As he entered the room, he would see all that was there; the mist Shinobi, the grass Shinobi, and Natsuki, all accompanied by a slew of dead guards. Ironically the guards were the luckiest people in the room; they would not suffer from the monstrous ways that Toshi would have chosen to kill them had he found them alive. His focus was more on the two Shinobi still alive, his target and the unfamiliar grass ninja. His first target would be the mist ninja who had just used the hidden mist technique once again, the furious sapphire eyes would dart back and forth looking for a target but soon enough the mist would disperse and he his gaze would be met by a surprising scene. The Uchiha woman had stabbed the mist Shinobi through the stomach and taken Natsuki into her arms; and worse yet she called him… weak?

”Too… weak?” the murderous words were spoken through clenched teeth, ”Get your disgusting hands off of her… you ugly…bitch…”

With his attention fixed on the Uchiha woman, he hadn’t entirely noticed the grass ninja’s actions, he did however notice him suddenly look toward Toshi and then vanish from the corner of his vision. A few quick hand seals and sweat would pour from his body; it would slowly turn black and harden to create a dense barrier around his body. Toshi would dig plant himself and prepare for the attack, a mixture of his anger, his posture, and the dense barrier had created would almost completely negate the blow as Toshi would allow it to hit him unhindered. From there though is where he would act, he would grab the man’s wrist that was now underneath his chin using his left hand; he would not just settle for merely pushing the man away, instead he would then grab the man’s hand with his own free hand.

From there he would put all his force into snapping his hand back in such a manner and with such force that had he succeeded, he would easily break the man’s wrist and possibly even tear some tendons that controlled the movement of the hand. After that, if he had succeeded, Toshi would rise up and at the same time slide his left hand that had been holding the man’s wrist would slide up to grip him just above the elbow at which point he would try and use his right hand that would still be holding the grass nin’s hand and to jolt his forearm back and also break the elbow before bushing him away.

Sumi Koiheki
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a barrier of dense ink around the user in order to block attacks.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The attack is only capable of sustaining up to one "B" Rank's worth of damage. If any more is received, then the barrier collapses.
Description: Using the handseals, the user will call upon a large amount of chakra. Targeting specifically the user's sweat glands and pores, the user will force themselves to emit a large amount of sweat rapidly. Using their ability to make ink, this sweat becomes imbued with the user's chakra, giving it strength and changing it into ink. The ink, if an imbuing technique has been used before this ability, can take on the properties of that ink. The barrier will extend outward about a foot. When one turn has passed, the ink barrier will collapse, falling down into the ground, leaving a large puddle of ink.
Limit: Li Clan Technique. Must know Hadasumi Soushi. Non-medics will have to train 70 TP instead of the usual 60 in order to gain this ability.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

The Uchiha woman simply ignored Toshizo entirely, you didn't bother to argue with weak people. Instead she took off just as the Grass Ninja said Show time. At least, a shadow clone took off, as for herself, she simply leaned against the wall. She'd watch how the Grass ninja and the supposed ANBU would fare in combat. Sharingan eyes still watching rather intently. In the meanwhile, things got rather intense between Toshizo and the Grass Ninja. His sudden appearance and swift uppercut was countered by the Ink defense. Upon his fist's contact with the man's chin, the barrier preventing his head from buckling upwards, no sooner did another fist move to slam the man in his stomach, this fist would be different however. This was the strike of a Kentoushi, one whom was a Taijutsu Master.

The blow would be that of a stunning fist, easily able to paralyze the man but more importantly it would prevent the man from attempting to grasp his wrist. Likewise another problem would be coming Toshi's way. The fist that was at his chin would quickly move for a quick hook, this hit would be a Deadly Blow. If he wasn't careful, the hook would go straight to the head and knock the ANBU out. Either way, the two were in close quarter combat right now and this was where the Shitakuma had the advantage. Especially since they were underground, the softest of noises vibrating along the walls. He didn't seem to pay much attention to the Uchiha, he would deal with her later...unless she interupted him. He had already gotten word that she was a traitor in their ranks after all.

Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 3rd Tomoe
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: An eye containing three tomoe will allow the ninja to see the image of an attackerfs next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body. This prevents wasteful movement and allows the Uchiha clan member to conserve much needed chakra in battle. It allows them to synchronize their movement to strike at an area moments before their opponent is even in that spot, essentially allowing them to strike out and hit their opponent before they're even there. This also opens up a door to more powerful techniques within the third tomoe Sharingan eye.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user can not copy techniques which are unique to another bloodline. User must have the Release, or Perception in order to copy the type of Release or Perception they wish to learn. The user is incapable of copying a technique that has specific prerequisites such as another technique is needed first.
Description: Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye") 3rd Tomoe The eyes of the user turns red in color with a black pupil in the middle. Three Tomoe (Comma) appears around the pupil. Each eye gains three Tomoe. At this stage the user is at the peak of power and capabilities of the Sharingan without sacrificing anything. At this stage the user's eye seems somewhat better as they are capable of piercing more into GenJutsus. At this stage they are capable of predicting medium movements, as well as copying medium techniques. When the user first gains the third tomoe the user is capable of seeing through GenJutsus of "A" Rank and under. At this stage the user is capable of predicting medium movements of the user. The user is capable of predicting five movements. At this point the user is capable of copying techniques with greater proficiency. The type of copying does not add into the user's overall Training Points within a Class Level. When a user copies a technique to learn for every regular training point a user gets the user will get two additional training points which is called Sharingan Points. These points allows a user to learn techniques faster, but this affects the user's learning capabilities but not the overall Training Points to raise a Class Level.
Limit: Must be part of the Uchiha clan (‚¤‚¿‚͈ꑰ "Uchiha family"), Must know Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe. Only obtainable after three events or interaction missions after obtaining Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe

Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Brawler is capable of striking with such finesse, and such accuracy to where whenever a Brawler attacks using Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist) they are capable of stunning an opponent for an amount of rounds depending on the class level the user is as well as the class level of the opponent may be.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: Whenever the Brawler attacks the opponent hitting them, striking them using the Sutan Tekken with the consequence of using up a Tetsu Tekken the opponent would become stunned depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent for a number amounts of time. If the user is...
D Class - The Opponent is stunned for One round

Kenboushou Tekken (Amnesia Fist)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Knock out punch, the Brawler is capable of striking an opponent with such strength, and such power to where a single punch is capable of knocking a man out, creating a rattle in the brain, as a concussion occurs to where the opponent's memory becomes lost for a full day prior to the connection of the hit.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: A technique where the user hits the opponent with such force that they deliver a punch with enough force, and enough precision in subdual damage to where the opponent is knocked out unconscious with a single blow. The opponent stays down for a number of rounds before they are slowly brought out of their unconscious state. When using this technique the user sacrifices the knowledge of a Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist) technique. Depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent the Kenboushou Tekken (Amnesia Fist) lasts for only so long within an amount of rounds. When the opponent comes to, they have no remembrance as to what has happened prior to his experience, the opponent has no memory to the fight, has no memory of the combat, and anything within the last twenty four hours.
D Class - The Opponent is stunned for Two rounds
C Class - The Opponent is stunned for Three rounds
B Class - The Opponent is stunned for Four rounds
A Class - The Opponent is stunned for Five rounds
S Class - The Opponent is stunned for Six rounds

If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher then the reduction goes up by one. After three classes or more then the technique is incapable of working against the opponent.
Limit: Must know Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist), Must know Deadly Blow

[Hana~Kyo]

With the uppercut negated and his attack under way, he would be attempting to break the man's limb; his attack would be abruptly stopped though as his hands would slip away from Toshi's grasp and began their path with two more attacks that travelled at him with an amazing level of force. It didn't take a shinobi to realize that these were no mere punches, his legs would push off from where they were and send him backward into a roll while tucking his head in. As soon as he had completed the roll his legs would plant themselves again and he would rise to a standing position, as he was rolling chakra would build in his throat. Hopefully with such momentum behind the attacks, a full on miss would send him off balance momentarily.

While Toshi had gotten a view of the man from the angle he did, he noticed something interesting. From his crouching position below the man, Toshi was able to see up under his sun glasses and notice that not once had his attacker opened his eyes. Toshi knew nothing of the Shitakuma clan so that was not what came first to his mind, but this was one of the few times that his ANBU trained mind would work properly; even not knowing of the special blood that flowed through the grass shinobi's veins, it would be a forced assumption that if he was not using his sight to navigate, he was using sounds. It would also explain his easy counter of Toshi's attack, someone who had trained their hearing to extreme levels and further enhanced it with chakra would be as good as predicting movements as they happen.

His next attack had to be carefully thought out, if he did anything obvious than the man would tell what he was doing; there was also the account of the Uchiha in the back of the room who was watching them with active Sharingan, which meant if Toshi still did not no whether or not he would have to fight her it would be best not to let her see through all of his attacks. Taking into account all of these factors is what led to Toshi's choice of attack, he had already decided before he had even dodged the Grass Shinobi, when he had begin to build chakra in this throat that would now be a sufficient amount by the time he was standing. As soon as he was fully in a standing position, his feet would shift in to an attacking stance; to one who was only going off of sounds, it would probably seem as though it was him pushing off to deliver a deadly blow, but it was far from that; what he was doing was creatiing a good, safe base for him to expel the explosive black ink in his mouth.

A soundless attack, and one he had already shown the Uchiha... the perfect attempt to defeat this opponent. At the range they were in of about two or three meters the ink would take no more than a second to stick to everything in front of him, including the grass shinobi. With the last bit having left his lips, his teeth would shift and a small explosion would ensue accompanied by mystic black flames. A successful attempt at this attack would mean the man was not only hit by the explosion but also engulfed in black flames now. Toshi however was also just barely in range of the explosion but with a combonation of the stance he had used and the dense ink that still coated his body, the most that would happen is he would be forced to take a few steps back from the impact.

Katon: Sumiiro Nenshou (Ink-Black Combustion)
Rank: C-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user expels a stream of highly-flammable, sticky, black ink from their mouth that clings to the opponent and anything else it lands on. Resulting in an explosion.
Special: None
Drawback: Caution is needed when using this technique as the ink clings to everything, and distance between the user and opponent is vital as to not get caught in the resulting explosion.
Description: The user focuses chakra to their stomach and expels a long stream of flammable, sticky, black ink. The ink is so sticky that it will cling to anything like glue, and if the opponent steps into it, they will be stuck in place. Immediately after the ink is expelled the user clicks their teeth, resulting in the ink igniting and a small-localized explosion. Due to the color of the ink, the flames will be pitch black in color.
Limit: Must know Hadasumi Soushi, Sumi Secchakuzai, and Sumi Nenshou.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Having not connected with either attack, the man pushed off the ground dashing towards the sound of the younger man's body rolling against the stone terrain. His feet shifted into a stance and now the Kentoushi was also close to him; having pursued him within his roll. Before he could strike the man with a punch, something told him to move to the left, in a burst of speed all that could be seen of the Grass Ninja was his form angled in a right hook towards Toshi's face. The ink would be expelled from the Li's mouth, seemingly coating the man's form. He was hasty, his teeth clenching to cause the explosion. The impact was indeed strong enough to cause the Mist ANBU to step back some and just as he did, he would be subject to a powerful left hook to his left rib.

His form had been left open and thus allowed him to take those few steps back right into a deadly stunning fist. This would of course be accompanied by a swift kick to the man's back, a simple push kick in fact (B-ranked) but quite effective. "Oh my, you seem to enjoy explosives...not good." the Grass ninja muttered, his tone seemed to be that of an amused being. He really was too, for the man to be keeping him up with him meant he was at least proficient in Taijutsu somewhat. Though Ban; the missing grass ninja was indeed pulling his punches. He wanted to test the level of this ninja. He already thought bad of him for failing to come to his entrance in pursuit of the girl, to be caught by such simple tactics was rather lame. Likewise, he too was weary of the Uchiha woman behind them. He wasn't sure wether or not she'd strike him or the enemy.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Brawler is capable of striking with such finesse, and such accuracy to where whenever a Brawler attacks using Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist) they are capable of stunning an opponent for an amount of rounds depending on the class level the user is as well as the class level of the opponent may be.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: Whenever the Brawler attacks the opponent hitting them, striking them using the Sutan Tekken with the consequence of using up a Tetsu Tekken the opponent would become stunned depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent for a number amounts of time. If the user is...
D Class - The Opponent is stunned for One round

B Class - The Opponent is stunned for Three rounds
A Class - The Opponent is stunned for Four rounds

If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher stronger then that of the opponent then the Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist) does not affect them.
Limit: Must know Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)

[Hana~Kyo]

Toshi had indeed planned ahead a bit for this situation, to be quite honest he had wanted this to happen. After seeing the man's earlier attacks he figured he favored Taijutsu over anything else since he had taken the to train so that he could punch with such great force as he had shown earlier. As soon as he had finished his step back from the explosions, Toshi would already be making a few hand seals until the man was mere inches from his body, already attacking with a punch of similar proportions to his previous attempt. However it did not worry Toshi all too much, with the distance between them being as little as it was, their shadows would be almost touching at it would be almost instantaneous that his shadow imitation would succeed.

The instant before he connected, Toshi's body tensed and the punch would hit causing his armor would begin to crack and fall off from that area of his body, but the armor had done it's job of dampening the blow enough so that he could keep the rat hand seal together. The punch did indeed connect but the attempt to kick him would be cut short by either the connection of his shadow imitation or the man dodging -which from this distance Toshi thought to be impossible but with this guy he could never tell- after the shadow imitation technique Toshi would form a few more handseals and place his hand near the chest of the man that would be captured in his shadow imitations.

This next techniques was yet another one learned from Kaien, but this one however would not just be bad for the Grass Shinobi. A red orb would form in the palm of Toshi, its flaming edges would lick at the edges of the grass shinobi's clothing. Of course the grass Shinobi's hand would aslo be rasied up to Toshi in the same manner as they were linked by his shadow technique. The red orb would then launched forth from his palm travelling that extremely short distance and detonating. The remainder of Toshi's armor would make it a non lethal blow to him, but still the armor would fully crumble off and he would be sent flying back only to slam side ways against the wall. Slowly he would stand up and rub his bruised head. -had the man somehow been able to avoid his shadow imitation, Toshi would still perform the explosive technique except it would be aimed to where ever the man was at the time, and Toshi would still be standing where he was previously.

Kagemane no Jutsu, ‰e^Ž—‚̏p (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: "Hanseals"
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand. Must hold Rat hand seal until the technique connects with the targets shadow.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of Ten meters. Each higher Rank archived, the user is capable of extending the shadow another five meters. The user must first however, learn each rank a certain amount of times before then next rank is obtainable. The C rank version must be learned five times total. At which point the ditance is upgraded to "B" Rank training and now extends ten meters each time trained. This version must be learned 3 times total. The "A" Rank version, extends the range to Seventy meters, and every additional "A" Rank training extends it another ten meters. This technique caps out at 100 meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.
Difficulty on Escaping: Escaping the Kagemane is a tricky art for some, easier for others. Depending on your Stamina and Difficulty class depends on how well the opponent can escape the Kagemane. The Kagemane is held for a Certain time frame depending on Rank of the technique learned. "C" Rank can be held for 18 seconds before it breaks no matter what. "B" Rank 36 seconds, "A" Rank 54 Seconds. For every difficulty class the user is above the opponent, add another five seconds. If the opponent for every difficulty class above th user, subtract five seconds. If the Opponent captured is a Taimaster, subtract 15 seconds additionally. If the opponent is a Tai specialist, subtract 5 additional seconds. If the opponent is a Taijutsu No specialist, leave it as is. After doing the math, the amount of turns held will be apparent.
Limit: Nara Clan Technique

Shakkahô ["Red Flame Cannon"]
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a ball of flame that will, upon impact, explode.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The ball itself is relatively slow-moving. Because of this, it is better to use this attack within close range or within confined quarters. However, that also means that the user could become susceptible to the attack, as well.
Description: Performing the hand seals, the user will then gather chakra around their open palm. An orb will appear there, and then shrink. A burst of flame will overtake the orb at that point, creating something of about a foot in diameter. The orb is then thrown towards the opponent. Upon striking a surface, the smaller, inner orb of chakra within the ball will explode, causing the flames to rapidly spread. The amount of damage done by this technique is dependent upon the rank:
"C" Rank- Explosion causes the damage of one exploding tag.
Limit: Universal ANBU, requires the Fire Release.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

With his moves so sudden, the man was in the middle of his kick when his body felt binded. For some reason he could not move, though he tried his best to resist. Now their bodies would be one, moving in the same sequences. As Toshi's body turned to the side, so two did his body. His arm extending out to fire the blast. The problem with this scenario was obvious; at the time of being binded by Kagemane no jutsu, Ban had been behind him. So now with his sudden turning motion and even imitating the motion of extending his palm, it would seem as if the ball would come though with the angles of both of them. In his haste, he didn't prepare to adequately position the two so that he could launch the attack in a matter to blow him up. Rather, he'd accidentally spared him. The ball would make it's course but it wouldn't be heading for the man's chest but rather due to the awkard positioning, to the side. As such, the two men were spared the damage of the blast.

"You must be a rookie to use a binding technique without realizing it's effects. Now then, you're going to die."

In the meanwhile, the Uchiha who was watching them remained calm...it was still not time for her to act as of yet.

[Hana~Kyo]

Angered further by his failure, and the taunting comments of his opponent; Toshi was quite displeased with himself for allowing his rage to cloud his judgement and miss his attack. He had been so distracted with the need to finish the man off that he had simply forgotten to take all things into account. This time he would choose an attack that took less calculations than his previous attempt and would of course mean a less likely chance of failure. He began to form hand seals and as he did his eyes would shift over to the Natsuki, while being sure to avoid the gaze of the Uchiha knowing full well the capabilities of the sharingan at its third stage. -curteousy of Nagato-

With the final seal finished, the shadow binding himself to the grass nin would begin to weave up and around his leg grasping it tightly and then around his torso and finally it would stop, the shadow created hand would be wrapped tightly around his throat. Unfortunately Toshi was not face to face with the man, oh how he would have loved to see his face as the breath quicly drained from his body until he would finally take his last breath. The murderous intentions of this attack were so highly obivious that even a child would be able to sense them.

Kage Kubi Shibari no Jutsu, ‰eŽñ”›‚è‚̏p (Shadow Neck Bind Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ----
Special: Must be done while Kagemane is active, "Hanseals"
Drawback: ----
Description: After capturing an opponent with the Shadow Imitation Technique, the user can then further extend their shadow up to the target's throat in the shape of a hand, which chokes them to death. Additionally, it can be used to bind the limbs of exceptionally strong targets who can move, even while bound by the Shadow Imitation.
Limit: Nara Clan Technique, Must have knowledge of the Shadow Imitation Technique "C" Rank

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

Unfortunately for the ANBU whom was getting a high off his current bloodlust, Ban died with a smile despite being choked. The rebellion was the perfect chance to attract strong shinobi of the area. To die to a strong shinobi, that was a warrior's greatest honour. In the meanwhile, the Uchiha whom had been watching the whole time didn't attack him or do anything to screw him over. Instead she left the room giving Natsuki a piggy back ride, departing with the following words:

"Not bad, let's keep moving."

As for Ban, he'd simply fall over once the jutsu ended...his body's fate in Toshi's hands.

[Hana~Kyo]

With the death of the shinobi, some of Toshi's anger had subsided; no longer would he be crazed by his unexplainable urge; he was still higly on edge however, as he did not trust the Uchiha woman. For now he would follow her orders and follow, Natsuki on her back being the only reason that he did not attack her. It was safe to say Toshi was rather confused about the situation, had the woman he met back in Natsuki's room been the Uchiha from the start? or had they switched after capture... whether or not she was working for the rebellion or not; there were so many questions left unanswered. He shoved all of this aside and continued to glare at the back of the woman's head as she walked, he still had a mission to do.

"Hey... Uchiha... Who the hell are you? and what are you to Natsuki?" his words were sharp but lacked the anger he had held onto earlier. As much as he did not trust this woman, as long as she held Natsuki and did not hurt her she was on his side. It was weird to be honest, why had Toshi felt such a need to protect this girl... a question not even he himself could answer at the moment. There was no doubt that this woman was strong, and it wouldn't take some one of her caliber much effort to put on a show for him to lure him into some kind of trap. Hell after this whole thing he wasn't even sure if this was the real Natsuki... or if she even existed for that matter.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

So much questions, so many mysteries...now that the fighting was over, there was time to ask some of these questions. The trio would be walking down the path heading back to the mansion. This would be where the Leader was ultimately. He asked two very good questions and even though she didn't think highly of him, she would answer all the same.

"I'm Uchiha Minako, a former Guardian of Water, the Daimyo's personal guard. I'm retired at the current moment. As for Natsuki-chan..." She couldn't help but look up to the girl on her back, she'd fallen asleep...with all the drama that had occured, it was no surprise.

"I'm her...home tutour of sorts, though I'm technically supposed to be one of Toya's henchmen." The last part irked her but she didn't show any physical response to the statement. Instead she chose to keep moving, it wouldn't be long before they reached the mansion once more. They'd be entering through the master bedroom.

She'd stop as she approached the door. Opening it slowly, she'd step back as best as she could to allow the ANBU safe passage.

"You seem to be attached to Natsuki-chan, I kinda trust you but I don't think too highly of Mist and it's Ninja, not in the current state... but if people like you are around, maybe the Daimyo might rest easy in the future." She smiled somewhat but it came off as a smirk, possibly reminding him of Hinagiku possibly not. Either way, Natsuki would be safe with her sensei.

[Hana~Kyo]

As much as he hated to admit it, her words seemed sincere enough; he couldn't sense any ill intentions hidding in her voice. Slowly eyes would shift from the woman to the sleeping form of the young woman on her back, she looked so peaceful despite everything that happened; its not easy to be able to trust someone so much that you could just fall asleep like that during a time like this, he could leave Natsuki with this woman... for now. "A Daimyo guard huh'...." the words were audible but meant more for himself than for the Uchiha.

Toshi would seem to ignore the smile as he slipped past her and went through the door, it did lighten his hearth a bit but he would not let that on to her. Once he had entered the intricate master bedroom he would turn to look at her again with the same serious look, "Sorry but I'm just not in a position to just go trusing you so easily... however you seem to be sincere in your words about Natsuki so I will leave you her in your care... for now... I will be back, and if I find out anything has happened to her. You better pray that i do not find you." these chosen words summed up entirely how he felt at the moment, and as soon as they had been spoken he would turn on the back of his heel and move off to exit the room and proceed with his mission.

[Kamiko "Tsukihime" Akumu]

The Uchiha had raised an eyebrow when the young man seemed to mumble to himself about her being a guard. She didn't bother with any sort of retort however as it seemed he was pondering to himself rather than making a comment. Her ears were sharp, being a user of sound techniques and musician herself. In particular, she'd taught Natsuki how to play various instruments, helped her to learn medical practice and was preparing to teach her how to defend herself. This situation frustrated her somewhat, if she'd gotten to that sooner the switch off wouldn't have occured and she might not have needed to do much work. For now, it would seem as if she'd be babysitting while the Mist ninja whom seemed captivated by Natsuki, judging by his words and body language; would attempt to complete his mission.

Of course, he couldn't part the former guard without some parting words. Depending on the persona, one could easily take his words as hostile and many would take it as a clear threat. However Minako found his little speech to be quite cute, though she simply nodded to allow him to be off quickly. Once he was out of ear shot, she actually began to giggle before securing the Master Bedroom so that Toya and his wife would not be able to take sanctuary and use the hidden passage. This was a good bit of help and the only obstacle left for Toshi was Toya himself. Hopefully he'd be able to handle it after his brief skirmish earlier.

He was now wandering the hallway, unlike before the place was rather dark. There wasn't any lights coming from downstairs, nor was any rooms lit; except for one! Natsuki's room was indeed lit, what awaited inside was Toya himself. He was resting on the edge of Natsuki's bed, thinking to himself. He was reflecting on some of the fools whom worked under him as well as finding out about some of their bad intentions for his daughter. He and his wife wanted to keep her out of this life; the way of shinobi, so that she wouldn't be caught up in this rebellion or anything else. Yet she was so innocent and fraile that men were now taking up an interest in her, many of them coming with bad intentions. These thoughts had distracted him from the main goal for the night. There was to be a secret town meeting of sorts, which would prepare to mobilize the men under him to attack another port. This one was one that existed on the main island and would be a key to further coming inland.

If they could reach inland, they'd be heading for the Daimyo whilst luring Mist to the outskirts. He'd planned it all. Yet despite the fact that he was seemingly lost in thought, around him were guards. The room itself was not setup with any traps as this was Natsuki's room, he didn't think any fighting would come here and if it should, he'd promptly move it elsewhere. Meanwhile, within the dinning room, there were more guards as well as his wife. She was yelling at them, enacting strict discipline after finding out what was going on within the ranks.

[Hana~Kyo]

Now fully out of sight from the Uchiha, Toshi found himself in the dark halls of the mansion; the lights had been extuingished since his last visit and as far as he could see there was no source of light amongst the darkness. Despite the darkness that coated the halls and masked his presence he would take an extra precautionary measure as not to be detected. A few hand seals would form and his hands would cross in front of him, plams place on his own chest. He had reactivated his invisibilty technique in order to hide himself within the darkness. Now successfully hidden he would slowly proceed down the hall being cautious because of his limited vision.

A minute or so passed before he was able to catch sign of anything, specifically the light coming from underneath the closed door that Toshi remembered to belong to Natsuki's room. His crouched form continued to creep slowly toward the door until he was hugging the wall just to the right of the frame. Placing one knee to the ground he would slowly lower his head to the floor- still masked in invisibilty- and look underneath the door; Of course he would not see who was in the room but he would be able to discern the presence of several pairs of legs within the room. With Natsuki still being with the Uchiha, he was fairly sure that she was not inside but after this nights events he could not be sure. Momentarily his mind raced with ideas before he formulated a plan to enter the room with.

His hand slid down into the pouch on his waste and pulled out a few vials of ink which he uncorked and poored out onto the ground, being sure to hold them low to the ground so that they did not make any noise as the liquid splashed down to the floor. Hand seals formed and the ink gathered up, rising from the ground creating a form that held a likeness to his own. The clone would be positioned next to himself but not in front of the door so that it's shadow could not be seen under the door from the inside. With a deep breath Toshi would put his plan into action, his own body would move to the other side of the door rather than the clone because he would not make a shadow; the clone inched forward until it was just on the edge of the door, Toshi raised his own hand and grasped the handle to the door before flinging it open and having the clone rush inside.

With the clone rushing inside, Toshi would slide to the side into the doorway to catch a glimpse of the room, while sitll being masked by his genjutsu. What he saw was a man, clearly the leader of the men present sitting on the bed surrounded by several guards; first the clone would attack the nearest guard with a right hook aimed at his jaw, while the clone did that Tohshi's hands would quickly form hand seals again and the invisibilty would end, with the invisibilty gone his shadow would extend out and attempt to grab hold of all the men in the room to bind them in place. "You, the one in the middle... Your name?" his words would indeed be hostile, but at this point his mind was not clouded by blind anger. His chakra was indeed suffering from his fight with the grass shinobi but he did not plan to hold the shadow imitation very long.

Invisibility
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The Jutsu ends if the subject attacks any creature. If the user who performs the technique attacks, the invisibility sphere ends.
Description: The creature or object touched becomes invisible, vanishing from sight, even from darkvision. If the recipient is a creature carrying gear, that vanishes, too. If the user casts the jutsu on someone else, neither you nor your allies can see the subject, unless those are capable of seeing through GenJutsus. Items dropped or put down by an invisible creature become visible; items picked up disappear if tucked into the clothing or pouches worn by the creature. Light, however, never becomes invisible, although a source of light can become so (thus, the effect is that of a light with no visible source). Any part of an item that the subject carries but that extends more than 10 feet from it becomes visible. Of course, the subject is not silenced, and certain other conditions can render the recipient detectable (such as stepping in a puddle). Actions directed at unattended objects do not break the Jutsu. Causing harm indirectly is not an attack. Thus, an invisible being can open doors, talk, eat, climb stairs, summon monsters and have them attack, cut the ropes holding a rope bridge while enemies are on the bridge, remotely trigger traps, open a portcullis to release attack dogs, and so forth.
Limit: Must know Glamor Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Limited Invisibility.

Sumi Bunshin no Jutsu (Ink Clone Technique)
Rank: C-Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create up to five clones of themselves using ink.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: The Ink clones are incapable of performing any type of special techniques, only taijutsu.
Description: Gathering chakra, the user will then perform the correct handseals. Injecting that chakra into masses of ink, the user is then capable of forming that ink into a perfect likeness of his or herself. The clones, since they are made of ink, retain any special property that the ink has. The initial time that this jutsu is learned allows for the creation of a maximum of five clones- however, each time this technique is re-trained, the number of clones the user is capable of creating increases by five.
Limit: Li Clan Jutsu.

Kagemane no Jutsu, ‰e^Ž—‚̏p (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank:"A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: "Hanseals"
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand. Must hold Rat hand seal until the technique connects with the targets shadow.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of Ten meters. Each higher Rank archived, the user is capable of extending the shadow another five meters. The user must first however, learn each rank a certain amount of times before then next rank is obtainable. The C rank version must be learned five times total. At which point the ditance is upgraded to "B" Rank training and now extends ten meters each time trained. This version must be learned 3 times total. The "A" Rank version, extends the range to Seventy meters, and every additional "A" Rank training extends it another ten meters. This technique caps out at 100 meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.
Difficulty on Escaping: Escaping the Kagemane is a tricky art for some, easier for others. Depending on your Stamina and Difficulty class depends on how well the opponent can escape the Kagemane. The Kagemane is held for a Certain time frame depending on Rank of the technique learned. "C" Rank can be held for 18 seconds before it breaks no matter what. "B" Rank 36 seconds, "A" Rank 54 Seconds. For every difficulty class the user is above the opponent, add another five seconds. If the opponent for every difficulty class above th user, subtract five seconds. If the Opponent captured is a Taimaster, subtract 15 seconds additionally. If the opponent is a Tai specialist, subtract 5 additional seconds. If the opponent is a Taijutsu No specialist, leave it as is. After doing the math, the amount of turns held will be apparent.

Bam! The door was pushed opened by Toshizo which instantly alerted everyone in the room. The guards jumped to attention, ready to rush the door and they'd intercept the clone. One of the men took a right hook, his neck head moving in the direction that he was punched. Two other guards would dive towards the clone, attempting to pin him on the ground. The remaining guards moved to the bed in order to cover Toya while the Missing Ninja jumped onto the bed and looked out into the room and then doorway, awaiting any other potential attackers. When the three guards infront of him froze up as well as some of those attacking, it left some space between the three guards at the bedside to provide a view of the Amano.

He asked for his name, how confident this man was but instead of answering, he laughed as he performed hand seals. "You'll find that out, once your enshrouded in hell." There was a gourd of water to the side which moved into the air and acted as the needed supplement for the Hidden Mist Jutsu. The room would quickly fill up with the thick substance. Toya raised his right hand, there were several rings along it. One of them would begin to glow orange. Of course with the thick mist, this detail would not be noticed. Instead a loud piercing scream would be heard. Considering the size of the bedroom and the distance, there was a good chance the man would be paralyzed. Meanwhile Toya did his best to keep a locked focus on the area he was in. Now then, he'd attempt to get close to the intruder. He only wanted to ask some questions but not before binding him down.

This would take him awhile, with the thick mist he too was indeed at a disadvantage. He'd feel along the walls until he felt the doorway. Moving out his right hand, he'd attempt to grasp the young man's shoulder's. If he was successful, he'd force the man down and bind his arms. There was no restraint, he'd be quite rough... considering he invaded his home and interfered with an important meeting.
