Sharingan (写輪眼 "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Second Tomoe Eye can allow the Uchiha clan member to track the movement of an opponent and do some minor copying of an opponents attack. This technique will also allow the user to pierce Genjutsu and see the surrounding reality for what it really is with greater accuracy. The user when learning the second tomoe they are capable of going into other forms of jutsus that deals and consists with the second eye. This can help them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a real threat or merely a bunshin.
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 (写輪眼 "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe The eyes of the user turns red in color with a black pupil in the middle. Two Tomoe (Comma) appears along the opposite ends of the eyes. Each eye gains two Tomoe. At this stage the user is growing more powerful within the capabilities of seeing into what exactly the Sharingan truly is. 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 minor movements, as well as copying minor techniques. When the user first gains the second tomoe the user is capable of seeing through GenJutsus of "B" Rank and under. At this stage the user is capable of predicting minor movements of the user. The user is capable of predicting three movements. At this point the user is capable of copying techniques. 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 an additional training point 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.

Raiden watched his brother flip backwards as flames from the fireball would burst around him. Sozen landed easily, with no damage to him, except perhaps his pride. Raiden knew that him spouting out the handseals that his brother would use before he used them would piss him off. He could feel the anger come from his brother, it gushed out of him. He looked as if he was gritting his teeth as Raiden mocked him. Raiden decided to tone it down a bit after his brother had shown such anger. But he could see a smile on his face as he remembered the days of their past, with their beloved father training them in the way of the Great Fireball technique.



Raiden read what his brother was going to say before he even said it. It started to become easier and easier for him to predict movements with his Sharingan. He remembered the technique that his father did, it was all too familiar. He was of course speaking of the Raining Flames technique. Raiden had never tried the technique before, but he felt a sudden urge to copy his brother and try the technique at the same time. He looked at his brothers hands, as he never did learn what handsigns he had to use for the technique, and copied them once more.



Raiden observed his brother as his chakra gave away a faint red glow, and it surged throughout his entire body. It then focused up to his lungs and he took a deep breath. Raiden had already predicted the outcome of this attempt, and it wasn't pretty. The fire spat from his mouth, and landed all around him, creating a large amount of smoke. Sozen ran out of the fire, telling Raiden to shut up, he must have known that Raiden would have said something about him failing that technique. Then again, Raiden was about to attempt to copy it.



Raiden inhaled the same as his brother did, possibly even more, and placed his hand to his mouth. He craned his neck and looked up the the sky. He exhaled and watched the same thing happen to him as it did to his brother. Fire burst from his mouth in small spheres in maybe less than a meter away from him, and all around him. It landed all over, and even some landed on him. Raiden rolled out of the fire and rolled on the ground, putting the fire out. It looks as if he wasn't ready quite yet for that technique either.



Raiden began to notice that his Sharingan actually let him copy almost the exact same jutsu that his brother had just attempted to use. At higher levels could he actually copy an entire technique without actually knowing it beforehand? Raiden coughed some and looked over at his brother, who was doing the same as him at this moment. He coughed a little more and bent his back backwards, he wasn't about to give up on training his Sharingan right now, he could tell that he was almost at the next level. He had to keep going.

-- And unto them, the Prodigy would be born.
But what were the young apprentices to do now..?

It was almost too swift for the human eye to perceieve, the pristine armor of the Uchiha appearing as a blur as he put into effect the great Inkaten technique. Feet padded along the ground as cunningly as the gazelle did, indigo occuli falling upon both the boy's forms as they practiced the art of the Uchiha. The Grand Fireball - Rather meager in its size, he could only conclude that their presences had been fresh. How "fortunate" for him. As if on cue did he pull himself from the netherworld, the nothingness pierced by his perpetual existence. Bicuspids shown slightly as a fanged grin stuck to his features, the youthful facade watching with mild interest as the shinobi utilized their Kekkai Genkai to full advantage. At least, one of them...

"Is that the best you can do?"

The question was rather audible, allowing both of the brothers to hear him as he spoke. His silken tresses of obsidian fluttered about behind him in a kempt fashion, the skies above yielding to his arrival as powerful rays beat down upon his skin. The sunkissed epidermis was unmistakable as he stood, his mundane eyes peering out at what appeared to be two more versions of himself. One held the Sharingan, the ultimate test of a Genjutsu user's prowess. While the other, albeit that his eyes were of this world, lingered and held a passionate affinity for fire. Remnants of flame licked at the heels of his feet as he casually strode.

Anotsu's instrument of destruction rest at his left hip, the Uchiha joining the training ground and standing only ten meters away from their proximity. He'd have been able to shunshin and deal with them accordingly should they have chosen to attack, but there was an anomaly that kept him from doing such. The very essence of the Kekkai Genkai radiated off of their presences, and it was then Anotsu could feel the fuel for their drives. His brethren had been long lost, and it was time for them to reclaim their rightful place at he and Kouketsu's side.

His earlier question had been directed at the use of Katon. Only a breath's whisper would pass, and handseals were syphoned through more quickly than one could have bothered to perceive - the dance of the zodiac beasts was short-lived, however, and from the depths of either of his hands did twin flaming kunai produce themselves. Crafted into an elongated shape, the beautiful weapons crackled with embers. Should they have managed to prove unto him that they were worthy of further conversation? The trio would talk without a hinderance.

But should they have been nothing more than cannon fodder? He'd not feel guilty for slaughtering them and ending their suffering at an earlier phase. His clansmen would weed out those that were not deserving of the Sharingan Eye. And if he had to?

Anotsu would pluck them from every socket of the foolish. Ignorance would not be tolerated, nor would the stupidity of the unworthy. With each projectile being thrown at each brother? They would both face the judgement of the Uchiha as he watched on with a mild amusement.

And in fleeting moments of uncertainty, the Uchiha would thereafter unleash the powerful Sharingan unto both of their eyesight before they would note the proximity between themselves and the flame weapons. Thrice did his tomoe filtering out and into the scarlet occuli, almond-shaped sockets revealing the unmatched Kekkai Genkai. The blood that coursed his veins would prove to be similar to their own..but he would watch their initial reactions and deal accordingly.

-- Let the games begin.

As expected, a technique of this caliber was more than he'd expected, it was more difficult than those simple raiton maneuvers he'd gone over, in fact it would bring swift memories of his childhood when he was intent of learning the fireball technique, its difficulty was probably on par with said katon jutsu. Blue orbs would watch his brother closely though, yet again he watch his imitations with jealousy and a slight anger brewing within, why was it that his brother was able to tap into such power, and not he himself? Canines were quickly exposed as teeth would press lower, and before him he'd watch his brother copy the same technique, although he'd soon fail along in his attempt just as Sozen had. With a flick of his head upwards ebony strands were tossed backwards and eyes were fixated on the crimson slates of Raiden,

"Is that the best you can do?"

Immediately the facade of the Uchiha would turn its gaze towards the direction of the voice, and before the duo perhaps 10 meters off was another male. Blue slates scanned the figure from top to bottom, and instinctively left hand slid down as to be near the handle of his katana, in fact digits would trail just over the Uchiha fan painted across the black case. His stance was flaccid as he'd watch closely, his visage was that again of a blank stare, and without so much as a word spoken eyes would turn momentarily to look towards Raiden. It was then in his peripheral he'd see the creation at hand, in the grasp of the stranger there appeared to be but weapons forged of flame, this was in fact a technique of the Uchiha. Emotion was quickly displayed as Sozen held a look of annoyance and anger, what was the meaning of this?

With said katon projectiles launched action needed to be taken immediately, and it was amidst his movement that the young Uchiha would notice something, the manifestation of a sharingan in the eyes of the stranger. He'd only catch a glimpse as his reaction was to quickly evade, and with 10 meters distance between them this would give him enough reaction time to do such. He'd quickly bend his knees as the flaming projectile approached at a rapid pace, and in one graceful twist of his body the boy would evade said attack just in time as the weapon would whiz past his. However Sozen was not going to stand so helplessly by, it was in fact simultaneous with his turn the actions he'd take. Western and eastern appendages would unite at the hands as hands would shift through the required zodiac in a blur of flesh, and with the final formation held erect he'd inhale deeply. Chakra would gather along his chest and throat in large amounts as he'd prepare this technique once more, it would only take perhaps a second before he was soon exhaling a thick gathering of smoke in the direction of the stranger.

Almost immediately the young Uchiha jumped back and prepared himself, and with his scentless odor wafting through the air once more he'd likely take notice of the sudden mass of spiders approaching from all directions, not to mention the balls of fire raining down about him in a 6 meter radius. With the flames of the Uchiha spitting from the heavens Sozen would only hope Raiden had been able to evade without harm done, although with that bastard having a sharingan he was not so concerned, although with the stranger possessing such an eye as well he wasn't entirely sure if a bit of flame raining rom above would do much,

"You attack those of your own blood!?"

As Raiden put the fire out on his body, he felt an ominous presence appear around them. Raiden felt a grand power from this man, one he had never felt before in his life. He turned and looked at this man, and his Sharingan peered at the newcomer. His chakra was immense, unlike anything Raiden had ever seen before. As he examined his body, he not only noticed with his crimson red eyes that the man was powerful, but was a mist shinobi. Not only was this man a mist shinobi, but he was an Anbu member. Raiden's grin left his face, and a new feel of fear rose across his body.



With this fear rose a level of familiarity. This man gave an all too familiar feeling to the young uchiha. Raiden's blond hair flew in the wind with his brother remaining in the same light. Although this man was scaring the hell out of Raiden, he was still able to predict what he would say. Is that all that we have? Ha... Raiden thought to himself. This man may have been strong, but he couldn't possibly know what he had to suffer through. Himself and his brother have only each other, how can this man question their skill as ninja's after the massacre that they went through?



Then Raiden's eyes widened as the man in front of him opened his eyes. His eyes were a deep crimson red color, an eye that could pierce the fiercest of warriors. This man's eyes not only had one Tomoe in it as Raiden's eye did, but had three Tomoe. This man was no ordanary person, as Raiden noticed him as a member of his clan. This man was an Uchiha. Another uchiha that had escaped the massacre. A surge of joy for a moment would fly throughout the young blond uchiha's body. The thought that another uchha had survived had filled his mind with joy.



But before the joy in his body could come to full surface, the man's chakra began to surge. The digits of his hands would form gracefully together, creating hand seals. His hands flowed with that of an expert ninja, and he formed the Serpent handseal, a large amount of chakra could be seen from his body. The next seal formed, it was the Rabbit handseal. The chakra began to focus into the stranger uchiha's hands. After the Tiger handseal, the chakra burned crimson red, a fire technique was coming forth, Raiden predicted. Before the fire surged to the kunai he shouted out to his brother.



“Brother! He is using a Fire technique!”


And sure enough, Raiden was right. Fire engulfed two kunai. As one flaming projectile progressed towards him, and another towards his brother. There was no way to fight this man, but Raiden could predict where this kunai would fly. He flipped backwards, and the flaming kunai flew underneath his body. As he landed he felt a surge of chakra come to and from his eyes. He could feel the new power within his body. Suddenly, on his crimson eye another unique property came to adorn it. A second Tomoe appeared on his eye. He had reached the second level of the Sharingan.

[Umehara]

+10 Sozen.

Learned, Raiden.

[Umehara]

Tsukuyomi.

Their reaction times appeared to be swift - the Sharingan tomoe slowly spinning within the spheres of scarlet allowed him to trace their ministrations down to the most miniscule of details, half-lidded eyes of apathy stretching forth at the sets of words that were directed toward him. The embers along the air perished as the remnants of his jutsu struck the distance, small bursts of flame filtering out and into the air to scorch gaia to a slight degree. An obsidian mane fluttered along mother nature as her digits took stride through the seas of his tresses, the sharpened gaze of his optics falling upon both patrons for what appeared to be eons.

"Had I not known that you were capable of evading my jutsu, I wouldn't have bothered coming." he mused.

His words were commanding, yet indifferent as the vocals allowed his response to travel inevitably unto their eardrums. The Shodai armor glistened against the backdrop of luminescence as he crossed the proximity between himself and the twins. Sun-kissed epidermis stretched slightly as his lips curled into an approving smirk, and only meters away from them he stood statuesque. The Sharingan could discern that their chakra was of a similar resonance to his own; perhaps there was validity in the words spoking by the former. He watched the second tomoe advance within Raiden's eye, and in those fleeting moments of uncertainty the Uchiha could not help but lay victim to the air of intrigue.

"I am Uchiha Anotsu...your brother." he cooed. Time itself appeared to stop as the sway of the trees halted immediately. As if the angels themselves carried this revelation into fruition, Atsuhiro's very presence gave off a perpetual righteousness that only he was capable of justifying through action and words alone. The Wolven mask at the southern flank of his neck fidgeted to a small degree as the following winds broke the silence, the "family reunion" halting progression. Perhaps they would believe him. Unmistakably did the greater stage of the Sharingan rest within his occuli, the almond-esque orbs focusing his statement toward both of the Uchiha brethren.

"Our people's slaughter has dealt us quite the blow over the last few generations. And yet, fate has willed that its gears lead you to me just as I had anticipated. Tell me, of what origin are you? I have explored thoroughly the mountains and valleys of Mizu No Kuni, and never before have I encountered you specifically."

Truly, the persuasive tongue so silver could work miracles at the mere annunciation of words and the like. Though a surprising confession all in itself, Anotsu was never one for beating around the bush. Their hostility would only beget curiosity - they were far from equipped to do battle with one of his caliber. However, as was the temple's purpose, they too would see the light of exponential power increase should they have sought the foundations of the Uchiha's pillars. He, along with Kouketsu, would be at the forefront.

The former KazeKage's lips pursed together as he lay in wait, arms draped to his sides as the howl of calming winds permeated through the atmosphere.

[Deleted]

Brothers? Raiden knew that there were no other brothers related to him personally besides his own brother that he had known for all of these years. No, this man was not their brother in the blood sense of the word, but he was every bit still some sort of relative, most likely far off the lineage of his own family, for he resides here in the Mist. Raiden thought back to the massacre in the village hidden in the leaf. The second Tomoe had appeared in his eye by now, and his eyes were crimson red, athirst for vengeance.

Where had they hailed from? The evil scandalizing country that the brothers had left behind them long ago. The country that held the village of patronization, and a plethora of lies within it. The country of course was the sadistic Fire country. The hate burned in Raiden's heart as he thought about his "Home" village. The village that had done nothing about the Uchiha massacre, turned away its face to present another. The leaf village. Raiden turned his head back at the newcoming Uchiha and with much hate about his past, he answered.

"We hail from the village hidden within the Leaf. I am Raiden. And this is my brother, Sozen." He attempted to answer with the most respectful tone he could muster to one of his own clan.

[sozen]

Qucikquickquick.

Lips were held tight as once the conflict came to a stand-still the Uchiha would dismiss the lingering cloud of fire in the air, and in just moments an array of spiders had begun to crawl their way up Sozen's clothing from every direction, the arachnids would remain hidden along his person as he still was on the defensive, should this man strike again he wanted to be prepared for it. Slates of a blue nature flickered in between both the eyes of the stranger and the eyes of his brother, and with a slight annoyance running through him he'd inhale and then exhale slowly before words were spoken

"Lead us to you? And just what's your story, brother?"

At this time hands were held flaccidly at his sides, despite not dropping his guard he wasn't about to attack those of his blood, not unless it was absolutely necessary.

[Umehara]

-- It was then that Tsukuyomi's eyes slowly slid to a close..

"I am an abandoned child, left to defend myself from the wiles of those that burned down my people's village and the murder that follows the very unspoken identity that they possess. I was naught but a boy when the crimson and amber filled every nook and cranny of what I thought a powerful foundation...and I was left with nothing but remnants, shards of tattered dreams that I would not get back.

The stench of burning flesh and the sight of eviscerated corpses are stuck to my cerebral. With every blink..with every breath I take..I can taste the vitae and the essence of my murdered clansmen; I was forced to consume them, and sip from their orifices to obtain nourishment. I knew nothing else..there was no home to go to. There was no warm meal to sit down to. Only the dark recesses of a mind that had long-since been turned into a vessel for murderous intentions and vengeful motives. I have not found respite in all my life..nothing can quench or quell the thirst that I have to know just what force so blatantly crushed every love that I have known.

To no end have I wandered this earth..in search of those that were just like me..those that held these cursed eyes and who could see into a world that the mundane could not fathom. Only one, so far, has been such..and that is my brother, Uchiha Kouketsu. He is all that I have left. Everything else has betrayed me..carved eternal pain into my back and left scars that I have yet to see, myself. And only through piles of bodies, and massacres at the hands of a subconscious demon that lingers within the bowels of my soul feasting upon my every malicious thought....have I come to stand before you this day as the powerful monument that will aid in raising the Uchiha back to their former glory."

The Uchiha's words were true, for as those eyelids retracted back to reveal his gaze, the flicker within his occuli was more than feral. The Sharingan appeared to emanate tendrils of scarlet chakra that danced along the optic nerves, taking momentary reprieve as his statuesque form radiated a reborn state of being. Inevitably, Anotsu would assume, they would come to know the full intensity of the pain and suffering that he had endured. To have been so young and to retain such information would ensure that they did not make the same mistakes that other shinobi did...and end up in similar graves. No..he could not let that happen.

Atsuhiro thereafter gave furrowed eyebrows to the two Uchiha, a look of utmost determination laced as his lips parted once more. "It is not chance that you stand before me. Whether fate or destiny dance one with the other and embrace intimately...ultimately, Sozen and Raiden, I am here to secure the final threshold to true strength. Seek what you will...and I will lead you into a land that flows with milk and honey. But defy me...and I will leave you barren as the deserts of Kaze No Kuni. Should you choose the former...I will test your limits, and we will see just how great the demon maw's grip will be in comparison to your desire to live...and to prosper."

[Deleted]

Raiden stood before the uchiha after listening to his sad story. The story was all too familiar to him though, as he went through the similar ordeal. As he heard the man say he wanted to have the Uchiha clan risen back up to the level it was before, he looked upon his eyes. There adorned in his eye the Sharingan. It was similar to Raiden's eye, but not quite the same, as it had three Tomoe instead of two. Raiden decided to take initiative to ask one more question. He knew his brother wouldn't like it though.

"Perhaps.... Then, you could help me hone my Sharingan to the level that rivals even your own?" Raiden asked his new found brother, with his own Sharingan staring at him.

[sozen]

It was in silence that Sozen would lend his ears to Anotsu, like most Uchiha the backgrounds were full of sadness and horror, to have just about everybody close to you destroyed and slaughtered was most definitely a traumatizing event, but Sozen still always had felt lucky to have his brother still with him, without Raiden he'd probably have been driven to the point of complete insanity. Several thoughts eased their way through the Uchiha's head though as the story would continue, and alas the long string of sentences would cease. The words of the Uchiha held were true, you couldn't deny the horror of it all, but it was through the darkness of it all that this figure seemed to rise above it all, and seemingly his task was retorsing the glory of the Uchiha, something Sozen had in fact set out to do.

"Test my limits?"

The Uchiha cooed softly, despite not being gifted with the crimson occuli of his blood he held confidence in his ability to defend himself, although standing before one that held the same eyes as his father his courage was shaken.

Hands would raise slowly, if he'd wish to test their limits Sozen would demonstrate that he was skilled even without the eyes, he would prove that through his elemental affinity alone he'd be able to send out an onslaught of attacks, and it was during this train of thought eastern and western appendages would meet with a clap,

"We shall see how I perform, brother."

Hands would initiate the dance that was handseals, flesh would slide together with graceful movements as digits would intertwine and shift numerous times, whilst with every new action surges of chakra would begin the steps to manifesting such a technique. The blue energy had first begun its journey with the very first motion, the pools of chakra deep within his body opened as if a dam had burst, and with great amounts of power flowing from all over a flood of chakra had spread out to every fiber of his being. The second zodiac would bring more detailed manipulation of his chakra; to a position where the energy was required in order for the elemental conversion to take place, deep within the chest and throat of the Uchiha was where it would now reside. The third movement would flash another of the 12 beasts as hands flawlessly shifted in a blur of flesh, and it was then he'd take a few steps back.

The chakra within his throat and body was soon forming a very unique structure, it was actually building and reacting in such a way that it was becoming smoke. A fourth and final creature was presented before the two, and then in a near-instant shift the chakra would take on the properties of the katon element as the chakra would sift upwards into his mouth, and with a roaring exhale a thick black cloud would bellow forth. Imbued with a great amount of chakra the black haze would ascend towards the heavens above, and it would only take but a few moments before the dark hand would stretch its reach across to skies to a distance of 10 meters. The black gathering above would darken the area as it seemed to distort the faint rays of light, and with a rather serious look about him Sozen was sure to keep his eye on the new addition to his family,

"Fire style.."

He'd speak in that faint tone of his.

Then, there was a brief silence in the area as lips parted one final time,

"Raining Flames!"

Exactly on time with his words would the cloud above begin to spew forth balls of fire onto the ones below, although merely an annoyance on their own masses of these fiery globes would surely burn any exposed flesh, or perhaps that of his mane.

[Tenkai]

Learned.
Add it~

[Umehara]

-- And yet, he would simply create a symphony of zodiac beasts himself.

"Only in your dreams will you reach this level of power. I am absolution..and in my pride will I ascend to sit upon the throne where I am rightfully due."

There was naught else to be said. As he watched the Katon element rage forth from Sozen's being, he would invoke the ability of an alternate method; the Suiton Release was his to command, and in the distance the twisting and contortion of water began to rise from the surface. Liquid quickly moved to his hand as its structure took up the size of a large whip, composed completely of the substance he had beckoned unto his command. "Then let this dance begin."

With grace divine did Anotsu manage to weave in and out of the fireballs as they fell, those that were stray immediately succumbing to the power of his water whip. He was extremely meticulous with every footfall as the tips of his toes dipped into the sea of green below, his obsidian locks flowing about in ravenous fashion. The malicious hand of Uchiha Anotsu had been substituted with a gazelle's agility, easily weaving elongated maneuvers that would ensure his safety from the barrage of Katon projectiles above. Surely, Raiden would join the fray before long.

Daring to invoke the power of the Sharingan, the copy and counter functions would be revealed unto his newfound disciples. There was naught to stop him as he kept pivoting and pirouetting in and out of the attacks, carefully watching both brothers in lieu of possible combo. Not a single projectile dare touch the jet-black mane that lay kempt about his crown, the Shodai Armor glistening against the backdrop of light that permeated from the wrathful spheres of beautiful scarlet and orange.

Second training, 10 ravens. 0|10

This fight was going to be difficult. Sozen could tell. Not only did the crimson optics of the stranger read his movements and react simultaneously, he was able to manifest a jutsu that happened to be the weakness to his very move, just his luck. The fire would continue to rain as Anotsu would gracefully avoid each orb and utilize what seemed to be a whipped conjured of water, and with Sozen's visage holding a look of annoyance about him he was quick to jump back a few meters as he wished to put some distance between himself and his elder brother. This technique was one Sozen percieved as unevadeable, but here he was; one of his own blood simply dancing in and out of the rain of fire, which is when a thought would come to mind. Would the warrior be able to evade a technique that would follow his every movement and be able to change direction? Well, they'd have to test and see.

Three more of the zodiac were required as hands were risen upwards from their lowered position, and it was with the speed and grace of a true warrior that hands would lift as to be held before his chest. Digits shot up and were erect as palms would slap together, each protrusion would intertwine as hands were rapidly moving as to form the first of the three handseals. First was but the tiger, the striped beast of fury was represented as hands would take shape without flaw, and immediately an abrupt surge of chakra was expelled in all directions throughout his frame, and with a tingling sensation sent across hid body he'd take another step backwards. The next was to zodiac of the canine, in a blur of movements hands assembled rapidly into said handseal, and it was then a second reaction took place within himself. Chakra was flooded upwards as it was soon seeping from his very figure into the air around him, and he was just one more movement away from completion.

The tiger was represented a final time as slender digits were held before him for all to see, and it was the very instant 'pon completion that the chakra in the air around him seemingly ignited it an explosion of sparks and electricity. Coming to life before them was but a flock of birds, each bird would appear in a bright flash as their bodies seemed to expand as the light and electric current grew. They'd grow quickly to what seemed to be a two foot wingspan, giving them a fairly decent range in the middle in combat, but it was not one raven alone that was what made it deadly, it was in fact the sheer size the flocks could reach that made them truly useful. Images flooded the mind of the boy, hundreds of ravens each having the potency of a D-ranked electric shock could be amazingly useful, how was one able to evade such numerous amounts of attackers? Perhaps only the eyes of the sharingan were capable of such feats, or perhaps a nifty defensive maneuver, but both would need to be tested.

Eyes were held ever so deeply focused on the one known as Anotsu, it would definitely be impressive if the maws of the birds would be able to grasp the flesh of one who seemed to have mastered those bloody eyes. Tongue would poke out quickly as lips would be moistened, and alas arms were outstretched before him as they'd be fully extended at a 90 degree angle. Then, with head tilting backwards ebony strands would be moved from the Uchiha's facade, and finally the command to attack was given. Fury was radiating of the Uchiha's body as arms would be pulled and pushed to command each raven, and with the 10 yellow birds of the raiton elements flying forward with incredible speed the second attack was made. Left and right arms would part and unite as each individual raven would spread outwards in order to surround him.

Then, with eastern and western appendages pulled towards eachother like magnets each raven would close in from every side, with two of the 10 diving from above. Should the Uchiha evade each raven could be easily manipulated to swoop around and try again, not to mention contact with the whip of water would only transfer the elctric charge down the lucid weapon and into the likes of his hands.

"Lightning style, Thunderstorm Ravens!"

So it appeared that there was more to them than the simple Katon element that they had been using this entire time. The true test of power was nigh, and Anotsu himself was more than willing to accomodate their need. Pushing forth from his left foot in retrospect of Sozen's move, he thereafter crafted the Sharingan Eye to his will. He could see the very formation of his handseals, swiftly transitioning one from the other to create the conduit for his chakra system. Once the tenketsu were open, he would be able to unleash a technique of his own. Sadly, to this end, would the Uchiha attempt to tamper with his jutsu and concoct a countermeasure worthy of true note.

And that was when it struck him. The right hand quickly rushed for Apashi, the instrument of destruction at his left hand finding itself screaming along the throat of the scabbard before it was pulled into view. The azure edge flickered but for a moment as he smirked inwardly to himself; there were moments of glory that just could not be described, and this would be one of it. Stepping forward upon his right foot alternatively from his prior endeavor, he'd shift into a speed that would allow him to anticipate the flock's travel via his crimson optics. Only a small fragment of his overall chakra was pumped to the optic nerves as he began to dance about, the kissaki of his sword striking the birds with no hesitation. It would have appeared that the travel of metal being a conductor would suffice to do away with him..but this katana was much different than the rest.

Yielding to a power within the sword's make, chakra was forced through his tsuba and travelled along the razor's edge. More than easily was it that he could deflect the birds, sending them spiraling away in multiple directions to fizzle out in their entirety. He was careful so as to pirouette and keep his periphal vision within use, easily tampering a defense that cost little to no effort. Following moments allowed his eyes to stay on Sozen as he moved, proving not to place his back to his fellow Uchiha.

He would not go on the offensive just yet.

Exerting a physical force moderate to at least suffer the flock onto the ground and out of existence, the former KazeKage's breathing pattern kept at a light proportion so as not to over-exert himself in any shape of the term. As for Sozen? His next move was up to him. But in this game of chess, the greater mind would pull victory once the clock was punched.

Continously this man was getting the best of him, and quite frankly is was pissing off the young Uchiha more and more, to such an extent that he was losing any plan he'd set forth as of yet, as a matter of fact all he wished to do now was continue the offensive, seeing as how this man was seemingly advancing forth. What could he possibly do to tip the scales in his favour? Against a man of his own blood, one that seemed to be much more talented than the two of them, and one that held the eyes of a demon. With this foe able to read and pick apart your every movement how was one able to have any chance of winning? Twas when the thought entered his mind like a speeding bullet; he'd simply have to blind him. Although, was much easier said than done. The Uchiha was stepping back further as to keep a few meters distance between himself and the man, what could he do in order to avert his eyes?

"Of course.."

He'd muse to himself in that barely audible voice of his, memories of searching through his scroll collection had brought one specific technique to mind, yet another of the raiton release, but one that was hardly an offensive maneuver.

This jutsu was made for situations as these, it utilized the elemental affinity for lightning to unleash a blast of light so powerful it would leave the opponent's eyes blank without vision for a decent amount of time, and maybe in that small opening the Uchiha had a shot. Hands were brought together once more at the palms, further exerting himself he realized he'd have to spend even more chakra, but such continued uses would take their toll soon enough, however he had to show just what the extent of his limits were. If Sozen had any desire to honour the Uchiha name he'd need to surpass what he thought capable, and amidst this determination he needed to rise above. Twas just one of the zodiac that would be required at this moment to unleash said jutsu, and with hands quickly shifting about flesh would slide across eachother as stiff digits assumed to position, and with the rat held before him the chakra surge followed with it.

Starting from the chest the pools of energy opened wide and would let the blue life-force pour into the internal tubes, with a tingling sensation the energy did travel near instant upward towards the slates of a cyan nature. The energy surrounded the spheres the were his eyes, and with a tight closing downwards fleshly lids masked the pupils of the Uchiha quickly. It was then the chakra would take its change, through elemental manipulation it took on much more electric and static like properties. Not but a fraction of time would pass before lids began to part, and bulging his eyes forward such flesh that covered his eyes was quickly removed, and in a blinding flash of white light the jutsu was unleashed. No matter how skilled he thought he was one could not move faster than light, and with a powerful shine emitting from the electric chakra into his eyes temporary blindness seemed inevitable.

"Lightning style..Lightning flash jutsu!"

He'd scream forth the moment the blinding light would shine forth.

Sozen was trying his best to get themselves in a good position, and hopefully caught by this blinding light it would leave him open in order for Raiden to initiate an attack, it was about time anyways. With lips slightly parted the Uchiha tried to keep his breathing at a steady pace, he'd want to save as much energy as possible in this little fight, for all he knew his life depended on the slightest amount. Ebony strands were thrown back with his movements however as the Uchiha would cease and stand still, and with the ever-watchful oculi of Sozen eyeing the opponent he'd wait and see if the effect of the flash had hit his enemy, and whether Raiden would use such an opportunity.
