Do I smell Inkaten cookin'?

[Umehara]

Inkaten ˆø‰Î“_
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of taking the understanding of Sugizou and Shunshin no Jutsu to another level. This level is giving the user the capability of moving forward, up or down, pushing towards the enemy without traction or detection. This technique is called the Flash Point. Moving at the same spot whether side to side, up and down, or even in mid air to where the user seems to be a blur in mid motion. This technique is for evading purposes and is known within the Senkou Kensei Kenshiki
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be done five times a day after learned due to abuse within Muscles, but each time trained one may do more and more
Description: The user takes the components of Sugizou and Shunshin no Jutsu to where they are capable of doing this within mid air. A blur is created being pushed upwards or downwards indicating that the user is either going up or down. Once the blur is through the user is in the same place as before. If the user wishes to move closer to an opponent using this exact technique the user simply uses Shunshin no Jutsu to move closer as the blur is still within place. A master of this technique is capable of creating multiple blurs at once in order to confuse the enemy and showing the speed and power of the technique. The user is only capable of using this technique however within a five meter range.
Limit: Must know Sugizou and Shunshin no Jutsu. Must be capable of using Sugizou at least fifteen times a day, and Shunshin no Jutsu five times a day.

"Clear your soul."

The words echoed along the forestry. The amber and orange swirl within the skies signified that sunset was beginning to take its place, a brilliant splash of azure all that was left of the scenery as master and pupil stood along the flora and fauna. Blankets of green yielded slow descent from the trees as leaves were plucked by the gale from branches, falling lifelessly to the edifice below. Swept into a flurry they would become, dancing e'er gracefully around the young shinobi's silhouette. This...this was true relaxation. Not a single obstruction lay within the realm of Anotsu's tentative occuli as the Sharingan's scarlet gaze pierced the distance.

For a scene so beautiful, he dare not disturb it with the machinations of his Kekkai Genkai. Thus, the flow of chakra would halt to the eye sockets all too quickly.

"The Inkaten technique. When one is truly in sync with the world around them and their own sense of being, the placement of a vessel can obtain the greatest potential in only an instant. The eagle need not tarry long to catch its prey; patiently and with virtue does it watch, waiting until the correct moment to act. Such is the way of Inkaten." he gave. Atsuhiro nodded slowly, every word written along the tablet of his heart. The Shodai armor upon his frame glistened against the backdrop of the sun's retreating light, its warmth inevitably being replaced by the cold touch of mother nature's digits.

Repetition of Magoichi's words took place as the elder rose his blade above his cranium. Perfectly parallel to the ground below, his hands would not stray away from their vicegrip along the tsuba. A single nod was all that the Uchiha would give, and it was then that the rewards of his benevolence were coming to fruition. As his elder lashed out with a strike to the jugular vein located within the neck, the newfound Mizu No Kuni shinobi seemed to transition so swiftly from point to point that not even his mind had fathomed it. Leaving naught but a multitude of clones in his wake, the swift Atsuhiro would clear himself of the blade's razor edge before proper momentum adjustment could take place.

His obsidian locks fluttered about violently as he watched Magoichi continue with the swing, waiting until the climax to halt himself and stand to full height.

Bliss. This was the only word that could embody the feeling of what the Chuunin felt, the speed of a god placed upon his shoulders to command as he saw fit. Magoichi casually strode forward and nodded his head in approval, though within the back of his mind he could not have comprehended how the Uchiha had mastered the technique so swiftly.

...Not even he had been so lucky.

As Magoichi departed the Uchiha for the moment, more important matters lay at hand. He'd been away from Mist for far too long, and thus he would tarry no longer within the land of Grass. Stepping out and into the edge of the forestry, naught but the mediation of Mizu's Lands from the hands of vandals and criminals alike was cognizant within his attention.

But first, he would need to reach his destination.

Handseals were performed once more, the spiritual essence within his tenketsu bursting open for a thorough degree until he knelt down and placed a palm flat against gaia. The shift of energy throughout terra firma complete, a burst of smoke lifted upward and into the atmosphere before Mirahi once more stepped out from behind the shroud of gray. Pristine scales flickered against the afternoon's rays, the sun's glow accentuating its amber eyes as if lifted its maw heavenward. "To Mist, I assume?" he growled.

Anotsu could only nod in return. A hand was placed alongside the beast's shoulder before he hopped up and onto its back, kneeling gently against its spine as Sharingan occuli peered out and into the distance. His porcelain mask was replaced over his countenance, the Wolven ANBU thereafter taking flight atop his faithful companion. The sky was theirs to control as his ascension came, a beautiful tapestry of the azure backdrop creating a sense of divinity as they travelled back to their origin.

Dismissing the massive beast from his presence, the Prince of the Uchiha turned and ambled into the distance.

"To the Temple.." he mused.

The pristine canvas of mother nature's forestry lead the Uchiha to travel out into her depths, the bowels of the edifice carrying him down and into the valley where he would reside for hours. It was serene to him; the feeling of her caress touching to his cheek, her tender kiss soothing his skin as he continued his travel along the endless waves of green. His footfall would wade through the grass, inevitably coaxing him to slow his movements as he stood near a large body of water. Its ripples were created as fish darted along the surface. Taking in the atmosphere, he slowly began to perform handseals.

-- And therein, Mirahi would appear moments later.

The blast of smoke that rose from the ground would yield the dragon's services once more, it's massive footsteps carrying it forward. Wasting no time, the Uchiha would merely jump up onto its back and rest on a knee. "Let's do some exploring..shall we?" he mused. Mirahi nodded his head. "I've been wanting to stretch these wings for a while, myself. Lucky for you, I'm feeling generous." he roared.

Anotsu gave no heed to its words, merely running a hand along its spine in mutualism.

The two would travel through the clouds, seamlessly sifting through the air in graceful aerial maneuvers. The land below seemed to pass them all too quickly, large gatherings of water left for the Uchiha to run his fingers along as Mirahi turned upside down near its surface. Enjoying the wind flowing through his mane, the Uchiha strayed away from thoughts of all else.

It was once more time to take his travel elsewhere. Pulling himself from a deep slumber, the Uchiha's apathetic countenance reigned supreme as he slid the ANBU mask over his facade once more. Footsteps carried him quickly along the water as his speed picked up into a fashionable series of shunshins, the ripples along the water unable to keep up with the jettison of his limbs along its surface. Narrowed eyes, the Sharingan activated within his pupil, peered forth into the depths of azure and thereafter a resolve sparked within the man's cerebral.

Handseals would begin to form rather quickly.

The swift transition from one to the other allowed the dance of zodiac beasts to sift quite brusquely, obsidian locks of hair fluttering gracefully against mother nature's gale. As he stopped along another body of water, he would crouch and thrust a hand downward toward the liquid waiting below. From the depths of his chakra did the mighty Mirahi rise forth from the blood smeared along the scroll, its beautiful crimson scales flickering against what little sun was present. Amber occuli gazed down upon him before lowering his head, allowing the Uchiha to backflip until landing in a crouch along its back.

"Let us move to Hi No Kuni once more. I will show you where the greatest struggle took place."

Having combatted one of the greatest forces upon that terrain's day and age, he was quickly whisked away from the water's edge by Mirahi's mighty beat of the wing against wind.

[. Move to Hi No Kuni]

{Moved}

[Umehara]

Climbing from the back of Mirahi, a snap of the fingers would allow the dragon to disappear in a mass of smoke as Tsukuyomi moved into the distance.

[. Exit]

[Umehara]

[. Enter]

Upon entering, the tenketsu upon his body would open up and push chakra from his focal point all along his body. Jumping through the air, he would thereafter frontflip and thrust a hand downward to create a gust of smoke that would rise in torrential tribute to his summoning. Not bothering to touch the ground, Anotsu was once more upon Mirahi's back as the dragon beat against the wind and moved into the distance.

"To Mizu No Kuni, Mirahi."

The dragon's mighty roar was enough to pierce the heavens as they moved brusquely through the clouds, parting the multitudes as his aerial maneuvers proved to be brusque. The two moved over various landscapes as Mirahi's impressive speed displayed itself, the ball upon the end of his tail swaying to and fro along their journey. Mountaintops were passed all too easily as his beautiful scales flickered against the sunlight, delivering unto him a sense of gorgeous transport to those that waited below.

-- Time Lapse = 2 Hours.

Once along the outskirts of Mizu No Kuni, Anotsu's eyes picked up the vision of a large gathering within its main region. "..An event?" he whispered to himself. He and Mirahi would fly toward the place of meeting.


Indeed, something was transpiring.

He continued to ride the majestic dragon, right into the depths of the crowds as they began to gather for the meeting.
