The Uchiha would take a break for a second. Allowing his chakra to restore itself. The large reserve he had was slowly dwindling with all the hard work he was applying himself to. The determination to be the strongest even without the clan's legacy. Shin was not one that was blessed with the ideals of becoming a beholder of the eye, but rather a normal shinobi. His goals would be altered, but he wouldn't let them falter. The young Uchiha would make sure that his body, heart, soul, and mind all worked in unison upon their goal. That was to continue to thrive and become legendary amongst all the shinobi's about the world.

After adding a few new moves to his arsenal, he would begin to contemplate on his next jutsus. There was even a thought of going for a different element within his head. That element would be the next factor in a grand scheme of jutsus to destroy his foes. That was something he would always have on deck. Thinking closely he would have himself ready to unleash what was needed. Thinking about it, he would begin to ponder as a slight breeze would come by as a leaf from the nearest forest would begin to come around his body. Looking about the Uchiha saw no one that he needed to watch out for. He went ahead and reached for it and began to run his hands on the leaf. Grabbing it with both hands he would begin to concentrate hard amidst the leaf.

Letting his chakra come out, he would begin to try and shape it with a structure that would make up wind. A large amount of chakra would be enough to just rip it to shreds, but to have a precise cut would be the goal. Thinking hard as he would feel the leaf ripping in half with such ease. Thinking of it, he would toss the leaf to the side as the petal would fall in two pieces towards the ground. It was decided time for him to go within the Fuuton release. Though the suiton about his area, would intrigue him as well. Possibly adding all would be a grand deal, he would have to wait as he would begin to get ready for his next phase of hard work.

[Umehara]

Absolutum Dominium.

Ominous clouds appeared to loom overhead. Entire masses of darkened gray hovered along in a languid fashion, darkening the radiance of the sun on that cloudy afternoon. Only the howling winds accompanied the cadence of footfall, the shadowed silhouette birthed once more onto a newfound edifice with which to explore. The forestry spoke of his presence through the rustle of leaves as they were plucked by the gale from their branches, descending in matrimony to further accentuate the entity's arrival into existence. As if pulled from the depths of nothingness, a set of indigo occuli peered forth and took in the surrounding environment. Serene, yet brooding it felt. All of this, further donned upon by the slight drizzle from above, shrouded the Uchiha's entrance in mystery.

"You should leave those tricks for the Academy." he cooed.

Anotsu's voice appeared to resonate from all around, the epicenter of his vocals untraceable as the winds carried his barotone statement to the ears of the Uchiha only a small distance away. The Shodai Armor upon his body fit snug to his musculature, half-lidded eyes staring down toward the male's very eyes. Lazily did his arms move from his sides to drape one along the other afront his torso. His shoulders rose and fell with a soft chuckle that escaped his lips, and therein the former KazeKage could fully be perceived by the stranger. His locks wrestled with the wind as it created a constant ebb and flow of his tresses, his darkened skin unblemished even to the most tentative eye.

Furrowed eyebrows proceeded onto his facade as he addressed Shin, a nearly tangible indifference wafting about the very proximity that they shared. The blade of Apathy rest at his left side, its scabbard creating a slight glint as a singular ray of sunshine beat down upon his vicinity for only a split second. Analytically concluding the need for the male to train, he would wait for a response before acting further. Interestingly enough, the true Anotsu had snuck away from the event. It was fairly close, and thus he would hear when the true festivities would begin. The episode with Koi and Kouketsu had proved mildly amusing, but yet this stranger piqued a curiosity not easily discerned when in the presence of Tsukuyomi himself.

Only time could unveil what machinations they would engage in next.

[--Arata]

The chosen Uchiha would be getting ready to accompany the beginnings of learning such a jutsu when words would begin to erupt from around him that came together to provide a very simplistic, but tangible mock of the Uchiha's founding of the Fuuton release within himself. Not letting his gaze fail him the Uchiha would search for the voices that plagued him from his thoughts. Though that would be only one thing he must find that would accomplish his need to find out the being that had made his way within the Uchiha's training thread. Gazing about still seeking the answer to who it was that had came out so far.

"Hmm...perhaps so. Though may I ask who are you? It's not nice to sneak up on one you have no information on. Sometimes that results in quick deaths for some. Though I'm in no right place to do so," replied the Uchiha seeking the being that had spoken to him, but as his optics would scan the area and continued it's not so desperate attempt to find the male how had spoken to him.

Taking his hands off of the leaf and allowing gravity to take hold of the parted petals would fall to the ground aimlessly. Taking a more combat ready stance he would begin to peer through the drizzle that would accompany the land's of Mizu no Kuni and would continue to seek out the warrior that had spoken to him. Glaring upwards there was his assailant that had traversed upon his position without so much of a word. Shodai armor adjorned upon the body of the nameless entity, with a katana resting on his side.

"Highly skilled, yes? Who may you be? If you don't mind me asking," the Uchiha would fire off questions back to back to gain more knowledge of the figure that was before him high within the treetops of his training ground. The first encounter in awhile would course through the mind of Shin, but nothing would stop the former Iwagakure shinobi from progressing to the level of a god.

Shall one draw his weapon? Shall thee fire off projectiles from his pouch? Shall thy press into more matters of the current situation while gaining an plethora of answers? These were continuous thoughts upon the brains of the Uchiha, though those thoughts would be the beginnings of a great shinobi. One that didn't rush into things head first without properly analyzing the situations. Thinking closely he would await the shodai adjourned warriors words before pressing any further within this man's personal matters.

[Umehara]

"Your redundance is amusing. Asking the same question twice is irrelevant, especially when one hasn't had the chance to answer, is it not?"

The words slithered as poison as he watched the boy frantically search for the origin of those barotone words, finally allowing his eyes to ascend until reaching the Uchiha's own. Pools of blue examined his very ministrations as the young man below him moved into a combat ready stance - parallel to such precaution, Anotsu merely continued to stand there with the winds at his forefront. A foreboding sense of anxiety crept up and along his spine as his questions were thrust forth time and time again, rapidly fused together so as to allow the full extent of his supposed paranoia. Rather than merely cleaving him in twain, Atsuhiro answered his questions of duality.

"I am but a phantom, existing intermittently to rid this world of its refuse." he cooed.

Perhaps his words of cryptic mannerism would astound the other into a reprieve of the obvious tension practically spilling from his glare. Yet, Anotsu would turn his eyes away from the other's visage. Instead, he would seek to accomodate it. Before Shin's very eyes, the Uchiha would utilize the speed of the Flash Step to reach the ground below. Without warning did he seemingly blink out of existence, leaving witness and observer alike to ponder whether he'd even been present at all. It took only a sliver of a second for him to appear three meters before Shin, his arms still folded along his abdomen in a relaxed position. Poised for further question, a look of indifference allowed Atsuhiro to keep an expressionless countenance.

"I am in no position to speak of my own abilities. I allow my opponents to carry my prowess along the wind. It suits my humility better. he responded. His indigo spheres slid to the corner of his peripheral vision as he continued.

"I didn't sneak up on you, my disciple. I was merely too insignifcant for you to notice me." An obvious attempt at overestimating himself, the male before him would be given the choice to respond accordingly. Anotsu hoped, for Shin's sake, that his kind tongue would be in a forthcoming mood.

[--Arata]

With alert eyes he would have his glare stricken with the anticipation of a battle. Though at this very moment it would seem like words would only travel between them. If that was the case, why would Shin result into a state of high alert. Was it the simple fact of being a shinobi from Iwagakure in enemies lands or was it simply the way this man carried himself. Thinking through all the possible scenarios that accompanied the Uchihas mind, there was only one that would carry on as he listened to the retort that would make him seem redundant.

"You do bring up a grand point. I commend you for that. Some shinobi these days aren't that well how shall I say this knowledgeable," the Uchiha would leave the answer to the one who called himself a phantom. Gaze still locked within the trees as he would peer forth there upon closing his eyes once more to find no one present there. His eyes widened with shock as he was sure he wasn't on some type of trip or under an genjutsu that would cause him to think he was engaging in conversation. Then a voice could be heard from merely three feet in front of him.

Looking to the front of the Uchiha's visage, the man was well versed within the arts of flash step, at least that was what the former Iwagakure Genin was aware of. Thinking carefully planning each and every action of his body from what he saw this man could plow through him with skills alone. "So you're one that would rather be a secret to the world. Hmm...sounds interesting, but a mystery is my life. I shall introduce myself..the name's Shin Uchiha."

He wasn't sure how to react as there was no signs of conflict springing about the horizon, but the words disciples would slither out of the phantom's mouth. That would trigger interest within this man's motives. Thinking on a proper answer to answer such a shinobi, he would chose his words wisely hoping to not offend such a warrior. The shinobi would gather his words to respond properly to the grand scheme of things which was the disciple question,"There's no such thing as insignificant in this world, fellow shinobi. Stealth and covert like things in this world are all our doing. Though what brings you here in front of me, sir?"

[Umehara]

Shodai Armor Training - [0|10]

-- Another Uchiha?

It appeared that an abundance of them were now filtering into Mizu No Kuni, the travel from far and wide most likely leading them inevitably to the Uchiha Temple that rested in a secure location many miles away from this particular branch of forestry. It was becoming increasingly obvious that Anotsu held an edge that Shin could barely fathom, and it was then that the inquiry of the Sharingan Eye crossed over the mental capacity. His lips moved to part, but yet no words would come. Cognizant of a true Uchiha's abilities, he would instead invoke the power of volatile persuasion in response to his disciple's inquiry.

And so it would be.

Handseals were performed in a brusque fashion, every one of them flawless before Anotsu sprang back from the right foot. The appendage little more than an imprint of his foot within the gaia as small bits of dirt and grass were uprooted, his amazing agility allowing him to escape the close proximity within his Uchiha kin. Instinctively, just as he had practiced before, Atsuhiro rose his arm toward his maw and cupped a hand over his mouth. The tenketsu had awakened well before the jutsu's handseals had even been completed, and in that regard he would make utilization of the Housenka No Jutsu technique.

Though, there was a complication that he would need to rid himself of. It was becoming increasingly difficult to wear the Shodai Armor upon his frame, noting that the Shunshin and Inkaten techniques were what allowed him to move at such swift speeds. When under the normal influence of his body's progression, it would become a tedious task to attempt to maneuver with the heavy armor weighing down upon his body. Of course, its sturdy and flexible parts would allow him to move his appendages as he pleased. It was simply the folly of having no true evasive maneuvers outside of those Taijutsu Techniques that would inevitably be his downfall.

To remedy this, he'd simply need to make use of his feet and keep his body shuffling throughout the entire ordeal. But as the fireballs would leave his grasp and move about Shin - none of them were meant to come into contact with him, of course - their explosion would allow a circular travel of flame to ensnare the two within its radius. The pillar of fire quickly began to rise into the heavens, effectively giving them a thirty by thirty meter radius with which to operate. Intensifying heat scorched the grass about their footing, Anotsu's back nearly to the fire that burned vividly behind them. Constantly circling the two, Shin's methods of escape would be rendered useless.

He was trapped, and there was only one feasible way out.

"Well. My original intent was to merely greet you. But now that I know you are an Uchiha...I have a more..volatile method of introduction I'd like to introduce to your senses." Anotsu muttered. The flames nipped at their very heels as he stood with arms once more folded along his abdomen, the flicker within his eyes more than obvious as the malicious intent of a sanguine nature settled in.

Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

Shin seemed to be right about one thing it would lead to a conflict if he didn't choose his words right. Though the handseals were formed from the phantom that stood before him adjourned in Shodai armor. Noticing the encircling of the flames that would begin to consume both warriors. There was something he caught before the flames became his boundaries for this battle. It was none other than the Sharingan. He was facing off against another Uchiha as well. Pushing himself would be harder to face the one that carried the bloodline's infamous trait so strong.

Shin would begin to contemplate his first moves, but he wouldn't have time to slowly progress with learning his jutsu. Though he could attempt to use it with a proper usage. That would be something that he must prepare himself for. It was obvious the Uchiha before him had enough speed to evade numerous attacks, but Shin would set him up for even more damage. Something that the Uchiha would have been good with. Thinking through the technique he had just used, he would begin to go through the motions.

"So we weren't just going to talk it out...huh," mocked the younger Uchiha as he would be facing any shinobi's worst enemy. The Sharingan users were of legend for their prowess and powers behind the eyes of the Clan. Shin wouldn't care as he would have no choice, but to prepare himself for the worst case scenario. Taking his hands up to his body, they would flip through the hand seals with fluidity like none other as they were filled with veracity. Touching each of the phalanges to succeed in a Chinese zodiac to utilize against the Sharingan User.

After finishing the seals, his hands would reach out and pull back gathering the air within the area and beginning to mold it with chakra through the moments that it took to pull it back. The Uchiha would smile at the sharingan user, but there was something that would bother him. Though he held his concentration it would begin to shake during the ideas of facing a Sharingan user. That was when the resolve would burn brightly within the Uchiha. Shin eyes would narrow at the warrior, and begins to wave his hand out in front of him to send forth what seemed like nothing, but air.

The air was nothing, but a form of oxygen at least to the naked eye, but the Uchiha would surely see it. Though he wouldn't care it was merely a beginning to his tactics. Rushing to finish the molding of chakra he would begin to form the needle like senbons of wind that would only be seen by a well trained Doujutsu. Sending it forth without a thought in the world with a wave of the hand that would send them traveling at high speeds, towards the opponent that stood before him. The enigma would then begin to contemplate on his next move, but he decided to stick with the fuuton techniques for now to maneuver him where he wanted him to be.

Alas, the techniques were off it was about ten needle like conjurations of the wind elemental affinity finding it's way towards the Sharingan user. Though the Uchiha had his next couple of moves planned, but how would one get by such a capable warrior. He remembered the stories of the Uchiha, but this wasn't what he was expecting to run into so soon. Now he had been attacked twice by two stronger Uchihas within the Land of Mizu no Kuni. It would seem that Shin had a penchant for running into the strongest of Uchiha as of lately. He would have the task of defeating Aka on his mind still, but as of now this phantom menace in his view was his first target as the needles would be coming close to the enemy.

"Tis what you want right," mused the Uchiha as he would begin to go through his mind on his next tactic. Taking his eyes seeking the next ideas, he would set up a switchover easily within the time of the needle like winds that were traveling towards the Sharingan user to prepare himself for anything that would be coming from the powerful warrior.

-- It was almost too easy.

He had fallen right into the Uchiha's setup, the vault backward allowing him to adjust the armor of his very person as his foot planted ground. The very tip of it, when combined with the now effortless pursuit of agility, allowing him to pivot upon it and immediately seek to step forward and into the world of phantasmal being. Once more did Anotsu vanish, his physical perspective relinquished from reality as he closed the proximity between himself and Shin. Rather obvious was his tactic, and in such a rush would the other Uchiha find his folly.

Error 1.

It was safe to say that the Uchiha's vault forward could bring him to move back to the spot he'd once lingered in, but unbeknownst to him Anotsu had been hindered by the heavy armor upon his shoulders. The Shodai was well-equipped to defend against the wiles of combat secondaries and the like, but it severely hindered the true potential of a speedy opponent. And in that regard, once finding himself appropriately distributing weight along his body to support its features, he would be able to jettison along the ground at an even quicker rate.

Error 2.

With such known, he had allowed the trickery of the Uchiha's initial uses of Shunshin and Sugizou in conjunction to misplace Anotsu's true speed. He had not bothered to move, and therefore Atsuhiro was more than free to vault forward once more with his increased speed and evasive properties. Like a gazelle would he move forward, the transition from Point A to where he was once standing a rather fluid one. No longer did the weight of the massive armor cast him into a realm of sluggish proportion - he was free to gain full footfall along the gaia. Once he had placed a proper footing to where he'd once met Shin, the true essence of his Flash Step would be put to use.

Retribution.

It was more than safe to assume that Anotsu had touched down upon the ground even before Shin had let off his jutsu, the faster-than-before Uchiha thereafter using his right foot as the medium for the dreaded Inkaten [1|7] technique. The jutsu literally eviscerated his existence in its entirety, almost as if the man kept perishing only to be reborn in another spot. As he left this edifice, a gathering of quasi-clones would break out into seemingly every direction. The visual, coupled with the flickering heat waves that began to permeate into the atmosphere, allowed him to take full molding of his chakra and deliver a perpetual "invisibility" with which the Uchiha would have to do battle.

As such, Atsuhiro could effectively close the distance to Shin's southern flank and draw a single kunai from his pouch. The cold steel would inevitably find itself pressed to the nape of his neck just as the clones were vanishing, the eyes half-lidded in that unmistakable apathy. Anotsu carefully allowed a soft breath to escape him, this sparring session disappointing to a slight degree. There was much for this Uchiha to learn about deception of all sorts. He'd carefully utilized the shunshin and Inkaten to his advantage, and now his fellow clansman would pay dearly with the gift of defeat in such a short interval of time.

"As if either method of communication was going to last very long." he mused.

Before he would even finish his jutsu, the crimson eyed warrior was hopping about the place with speed unparalleled. There was no way a warrior would be that serious within the needed time to destroy all and who would move about with pure speed. This man had obviously been through some intense training, but Shin's reaction was slow there was nothing one could do. Though when the blade of the kunai would seem to disengage in the skin of the younger uchiha, there was a after image left in his wake as he stepped forth and prepared himself for the rest that would begin to occur.

"One wouldn't know unless tried, right," the younger of the Uchihas would return to the Scarlet Demon.

Kaze Ya no Jutsu (Wind Arrow Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User is capable of breathing inwards and exerting outwards a large like arrow to pierce into the opponent's body.
Special: User takes in a deep breathe filling their lungs with air.
Drawback: Only one may be created at a time.
Description: The user molds chakra and breathes in. He or she then blows out and an arrow made of wind is shot from the user’s mouth. This arrow may be blocked as it is just a large consumption of wind, however it can not be deflected away. This means that the object must be large in size enough to defend from one against the wind. The size of the arrow is the size of the opponent's mouth with the length of three feet as it can travel up to the distance of twenty meters. This technique is used for short range to stear an opponent away from the user.

Turning around, and hopping backwards off of his right foot, putting some space, that would most likely get covered in a flash. Turning about watching him as he would drift backwards he would begin to prepare another technique that was upon his list to learn. Perhaps, he would surprise the Uchiha with this one, but one of less movement was needed, and the Uchiha could confuse his opponent, but first he would push this jutsu out.

Trying to surprise such a warrior so they would slow their roll and give him his time to prepare himself physically as his eyes were wide opened and teeth gritted together as he would begin to star the exchanging of the zodiac sings of the chinese culture. Taking in the needed seals to finish the jutsu, as he would begin to work a bit faster. After being literally killed with one move if the Uchiha so chose to do so. There was something this Uchiha wouldn't allow to shake his exterior.

There was a sudden change of demeanor that would take over the Uchiha. With the sudden left foot bringing itself along the ground, and then would spring himself in a backwards flip canceling out the jutsu. Doing so would not show his acrobatic feats, but place more room between the speedy demon that stood in front of the demonic visage. Taking his hands up and getting ready to begin the handseals. Thinking closely before he would prove his worth as a Uchiha.

This would give him the little time to gain his composure and clear his mind. Rushing about would only result in a swift defeat that almost landed upon his destined future this day. Thinking through the rest of the Uchiha's moves would only cause confusion and clutter to build upon the very depths of one's mind. Having his hands ready and loosely, cracking his knuckles by straining his phalanges in a gripping manner. The Uchiha would bring them together and prepare himself to show this warrior he could indeed fight him on his scale of battle.

The one who had no sharingan was obviously mentally prepared for such a battle, but could one surprised a warriors of many seasons. Shin would begin to finish up those hand seals, and begin to inhale as much air as he can, as he would begin to mold his chakra, which would begin to rush through the tenketsu's because of the amount of adrenaline pumping between the two warriors. Projecting the arrow of fuuton forward towards the Uchiha, Shin would be on his next step as he would begin set up his next jutsu. There was a chance he would still be able to defeat the warrior, but it would have to be of great maneuvering. Now he would wait for the inevitable of movements and try his best to sucker him within the clutches of the youngest of Uchiha.

Setsuna Hibana(Instant Spark)
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a spark instantaneously at said target location
Special: Ox
Drawback: --
Description: The user focuses chakra at a certain point on the target and creates a small amount of friction in the air, sparking the area. This can be done almost instantaneously, but causes almost zero damage due to the small nature of the spark. It cannot cause paralysis or blindness, nor any other sort of damage. Usually a prank children use on each other like a game of tag, but with sparks for a small kick.
Limit: Lightning Release

More evident than not, his opponent proceeded to attempt to struggle in a more serious fashion. Yet, Anotsu couldn't help but feel the near-tangible desire to show him just the difference in power they held. He was cut from an entirely different cloth, a prowess unmatched laced about all that his hands touched. There was nothing that could withstand the eventual seduction by his force. The Sharingan continued to break apart the depths of reality and feed every detail to his cognizant mannerisms, until finally he was able to counter every function and machination used against him.

Alas, he would continue in his playful deviations from true battle.

He began to push chakra from his epicenter in rapid amounts, such a fluent and vivid display of power creating a surge of spiritual essence that caused an azure hue to seep from him. As if powering himself for a rather potent technique, the flames continued to rage on as they lifted into the heavens. An increased heat was beginning to settle in, and yet its radius was enough so as not to tamper with their battle even to a meager degree. Invoking the power of the lightning release, the former KazeKage concluded that it would have been beneficial to somewhat frighten his inferior kin with a feigned jutsu's power. As his fingers dipped in and out of his chakra reserves, his left arm rose until a single finger touched to his thumb.

Invoking the Raiton affinity, a small smirk crept upon his face as he "fired" off the jutsu. It travelled only for meters, resembling a lightning gun that could blow clean through his opponent's torso. In reality, however, it was nothing more than a harmless spark. He would continue to weave these deceptions into Shin's mind, waiting for the right moment with which to crush his dream of victory and show unto him a world in which he would forever dwell - there would be no defeating Atsuhiro. Not even in the distant future.

Shin's ideas was beginning to get thrown about, from the push that was being applied by the higher leveled chuunin. The Uchiha would see that his attack would have done little, but it was enough to get him into going through his next set of unfamiliar maneuvers to spring open hopefully an answer within the crimson eyed warrior upon his exterior. The Uchiha was just about to do so, when a bright spark of electricity would travel across from the phantom's hand and appear at his stomach, surprisingly with no sign of pain. Fooling Shin for a brief second as he would grunt instantly as the spark appeared to be caused in the abdomen of the Uchiha.

Mentally messed with was something the phantom had accomplished just as well as the other Uchiha, that was the reason behind his travels to Mizu no Kuni besides the altogether important Uchiha Temple that was now resurrected amongst the lands of Water. Taking a chance to get ready to perform the next jutsu that was about his arsenal that was close to utilize. He would begin to find his way to handle this Uchiha without a Sharingan. To prove once and for all that all Uchiha aren't unbeatable, especially if you can find a way to outsmart one while they are using their doujutsu. Possibly that would set the two warriors apart from others. Taking a step that would end up in a pivot on his right foot that would place him further back from the Uchiha, but well away from the flaming circle that had engulfed the two warriors.

There wasn't much that would be said of the grand Uchiha. Though he was beginning to get a understanding of the situation. Perhaps the Uchiha had a idea of just to get this jutsu working in the correct way to handle this situation. Alas again, it was none other than a fuuton release jutsu that would be something that would require a little more work, but the Uchiha didn't doubt his capabilities to master the release to utilize in battle at this time. Somethings requires a little incentive to help gain a quicker understanding upon the jutsu.

The Uchiha would remember his hand seals to be utilized to handle all things dealing with the fuuton elemental affinity. That was all needed in this split second that had presented itself. Taking his hands, he would have to make sure he didn't make a obvious mistake within the sequences of the zodiac signs that would lead him to the next phase of the jutsu, but it would be occuring at the most inopportune time.

Carrying the needed confidence within his next seal that would be distributing chakra as it would begin to gather within his hand. The legacy in the making would feel his chakra circulating within his hands as it ran rampant throughout his network. Perhaps setting up for the grand portion of what would be called completion. That wouldn't be a factor that would disrupt the ideas of finishing this jutsu as Shin wouldn't want to get too ahead of himself.

This man was quite skilled, so discipline would be needed a lot. That was all needed for a grand warrior that would keep his visage about himself while maintaining a intensive concentration, while his eyes would watch the one before him known as phantom, the only name given to him by the sharingan user. Shin would use that to readily identify him within what would seem like numerous meetings to come.

Finishing the proper concentration that would be needed, Shin would extend his right hand as a gust of wind would travel from the appendage firing outwards, as if tossing a rather strong projectile, but nothing was seen. Though within the eye of a doujutsu user, they would possibly depending on their blood line's abilities would possibly see the molding of the chakra that was applied into the jutsu. The wind technique would begin to spiral and gain more speed, forming what seems to be the outlines of the grand tiny wind drill. Heading towards the phantom menace before his view, Shin would be preparing himself for anything that would cause him his possible life.

This was after all possibly caused by the smart mouth of the young Uchiha, but to not have any person come in contact with him within Iwagakure besides Hisoka who he wished to contact before leaving was the only one who met the surprisingly weakest one of the Uchiha. Watching as the performance of the Tiny Wind Drill Technique would be headed towards the center of the upper body of the Uchiha trying to strike him true, showing the full intent of fighting to win from the younger Uchiha's skills.

Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user quickly performs a large creation of blindinf fire into the form of a large Dragon form. The Dragon must be used in the same concept as the Goukakyuu no Jutsu in which must be thrown by placing a hand in a circle form over the mouth of the user.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This type of technique is better used if the opponent is binded down and unable to be moved.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the neccessary handseals for the technique. As the user does so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in which egnites the moment they blow the air out. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivles and swirves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. When first learned the Dragon does not explode forth but the very flames oozes out spreading out in all directions that would wrap around the opponent in a blaze of glory. When the user learns the "B" Rank version the user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is egnited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion.

The battle, though multiple times short-lived, was beginning to play itself out in Shin's favor. The mercy at the hands of the Uchiha was growing increasingly evident, the raging fire having been displaced by the multiple uses of his Fuuton techniques. As the embers danced along the scorched earth, Anotsu's feet would pad along the ground in a graceful fashion. Shin's form appeared to be overcompensating with lack of power with agility, and as such he would need to exert a force that would render his advances ineffective. The biceps flexed only slightly as Atsuhiro's arms rose above his head, vaulting forward from a nearby tree branch as he pursued him.

Since the other Uchiha preferred Fuuton, Tsukuyomi would aid him in his pursuit. The use of the Katon Element would surely put him on the edge of his "seat", and therein he began to craft handseals. The zodiac performance was short-lived as his fingers weaved an innumerable set in nearly no amount of time, the grin upon his features signifying the malice laced about his features. This particular technique, the Dragonfire, was more than enough to quell any attempt at blowing his jutsu away by use of meager winds. Not even the natural gale could contain it..but Shin would find that out soon enough. Once the tenketsu had opened up, it took no time for the Katon Affinity to take its release.

The zodiac's dance now complete, the medium between the Katon affinity and its actual external release would coincide one with the other. Atsuhiro rose a hand to his mouth, his chest heaving lightly as the gathered spiritual essence made its way to his bowels. Their struggle had placed them here at this stand-still; though, the Uchiha's true potential had yet to be revealed. There was much to be done within Mizu No Kuni's lands, and he would play one of the more vital roles. Sozen and Raiden, to his knowledge, were added to the ranks as well, and thus he would need to preserve their life.

Lifting his appendage to silken twins, Anotsu's lips released the stream of fire. Powerfully did it rage forward, immediately taking shape as a blinding flash of light crept over the entire atmosphere. Should his "brother" have looked into the jutsu, much more than his futile Wind attempts would be rendered damaged. The optics were easily blinded from such a flare, and the following moments would ensure that the flames would lick and consume him in his entirety. Anotsu's eyes quickly swept over the distance as he exhaled, the projectile creating a dragon's maw. Its elongated body was impressive to view, a beautiful display of crimson and amber flowing forward to streak along the gaia.

As for the Uchiha? He would merely allow his arms to fold one along the other as the gorgeous sea of flames took to the terra firma, scorching all within its path as the dragon's jaws opened and shut multiple times in ferocity. The very flicker within his eye held the potency of the jutsu's true potential, another successful attempt at the Katon affinity proving once more just why Anotsu sat amongst the top of the Uchiha's ranks.

He wouldn't even linger. "I will be waiting for when our next encounter is at hand. Until then..train well." he motioned, vanishing into the darkness of the forestry.

The Uchiha would see that he had begun to throw the stronger of the two a bit off his game. Taking his chance to ready a kunai he would begin to head towards the one known as the phantom, when a dragon shaped flame would be spewed forth towards him. Making a second wise decision he would leap to the side, placing enough space between him and the intense flames of his partner's attacks. There he stood there gazing at the very Uchiha that stood before him. He was a bit startled he would go to those lengths to attack him.

"So you were going to fry me? Nice! Your name if I may inquire this," asked the stubborn Iwagakure Genin, as his indigo tresses would fall back upon their brow as sweat would be seen protruding the length of his face dropping towards the earth, but evaporating from the heat the two warriors were held captive in. Standing up he would wait for a answer from the man in front of him.

Noticing the Uchiha vanishing once more without his words being heard by the Shin. There would be nothing he could do, but wait till their next meeting. Now he would go back amongst training and began to contemplate learning more of the Fuuton release. As the flames would extinguish and would leave it. Walking towards the seared area he would take in everything what had happened and begin to plan his path of training more clearly.

It was the time the Uchiha to go through the next faze of his training. This time he would begin to think of adding a extra element to his life. What element would be what would come to him during his search of which one he could possibly manipulate and use at his will? That was one thing that would begin to go througout the cranium of such a potential threat to all ninja countries. Fulfilling his skills would be the main thing about this jutsu. His skills would come well as he would begin to go over some ideas in his mind as he read through the fuuton release. Hmm...seems he would have quite an arsenal for his jutsu soooner than everyone had gave the young member of the clan Uchiha.

Continuing to read through the scroll, he noticed there was no hand seals involved within this jutsu. Though the Uchiha would have to gain a better understanding of exerting wind chakra out of his body and into techniques. Ones that will not falter and backfire on such a warrior as himself. Thinking throughout the scroll as it would require some good control over his chakra. Something the Uchiha wouldn't have to worry too much as he would handle that will relative ease. To be able to manipulate a third element would be grand for the Uchiha. Making him stand out from most of his predecessors, but as such he remembered seeing a anbu within the lands of Waterfall that was training such water techniques that seemed extremely powerful.

Thinking on what to do to begin this jutsu as it was labeled as more of a taijutsu than his usually ninjutsu. Though it just would begin to come to him as he thought it through with each and every step. Taking his dominant hand and beginning to gather chakra to that announced hand, would begin to swirl about in his palms as he would begin to practice the control of that, but within a mere moments there wasn't any chakra remaining in his hand as he thrusted his palm outwards. That supposed to resulted in his funnel or gust as one would call it that would blow anything off the balance. That made him feel like he was lacking the initial concentration of gathering chakra, he had adapted to the hand seals rather quickly and wasn't expecting to be going within a jutsu that would ask for none so fast. His only ideas that thought of techniques using hand seals would be all ninjutsus and taijutsus would be the ones that never used the seals, but this day he was taught something completely different.

"Hmm...somewhere in between the thrusting of my palm...I lost all concentration on keeping the chakra submerged within my hand and gathering to create a funnel like effect. Must pay more attention to how i work," mused the Uchiha to himself as a slight grin would come across the young warriors face. Furthering his skills were the top priority to become the greatest shinobi the Shinobi nations had and will ever come to know. The anticipation of figuring out that there's a possibility for even a third of chakra to go into learning the wind release. That he can actually master a third affinity, would most likely lead to the Uchiha pressing for one more or even five for that matter. Though what would one such as a Uchiha do with all of those jutsus. There was one that he knew would most likely be going into as well, besides the fuuton as the suiton release was here at his face. There was obvious temptation to gather as much strength there as possible. Though he would begin to focus his concentration amongst the fuuton release. Feeling the nice breeze coming over his body he would use that as a idea of how to gain a better understanding of the flow.

Turning his attention as he would continue the focal point along the palm of his hand as it would be sorta the catalyst for this jutsu. Therefore proper use of the jutsu would result in a perfect one two combination that would require a grand way to set his opponents up into a more fitting role of death and humiliation. This was a time where every second spent on training must count. That was something he had to teach himself and he strove for greatness nothing less. Breathing in aas the training would bgin to commence with a better understanding of his resolve, goals, and whatever else the shinobi life had laid about in front of him. The beginning of a legend was about to begin and be relived and told throughout all generations of shinobi. This was the time to set it all in motion as a great shinobi would do. Do not allow nothing to hold him back regardless of it's ideas and beliefs. Push forward and succeed.

Taking his hands and staring at the palm of his hand in what seems like disarray was nothing more than sheer concentration upon his part. Focusing the chakra throughout his body and directing the needed amount to properly begin to go through with the next phase of chakra. He would begin to feel the chakra running through the palm of his hand and would bring his hands back and thrust it outward as within the palm a small funnel would disperse wind that would push the thickening fog away parting it to make the Uchiha's vision even better than it was at first. The Uchiha gazed at his palm, and was in disbelief that he used what was known as the elemental affinity known as Fuuton. The Uchiha had to make sure his skills had gain a better understanding of it and that he could perform with ease. Taking his hand back as the chakra leaked ot the center of his palm he would thrust out to the side of him sending a rather large gust of wind that would push the mist away from the what used to look like a ghostly visage of a Uchiha within a silhouette creeping upon his prey. Standing there the Uchiha had finally made his stand within the natures of fuuton release and now prepare himself for more gruesome training of the element as well.

Effect: With this technique the user is capable of figuring the location of where a sound is coming from. This takes a post in order for this type of technique may take place.
Special: "Hand signs" and "Holds with the Boar"
Drawback: The user must stand still, with their eyes closed in order for the user to gain the capability of judging the direction of the sound.

As the user does this, they concentrate on certain sounds that surrounds the user. If the sounds are in a large area and more sounds is created the user is capable of identifying the general location as to where the sound is coming from.

The Uchiha would begin to think of ways to increase his chances of recognizing a enemy sneaking up on him. Through any means necessary, but perhaps this would be more than what he's asking for. Though he would begin to search his back pack to find such a jutsu that if any exist to help him out. After coming across one that was known as the Sound Release scrolls it would seem to be a good way to increase himself of hearing people throughout the battlefield.

The Uchiha began to read over what seemed to be a very far fetched idea that seemed more of a prank joke than anything. The scroll's legitimacy was obvious within it's markings of such techniques, but one would be more than surprised to know of it's origins. Perhaps Shin would be the guinea pig needed to master the jutsu. Taking in all what he had learned he was once again diving within a new jutsu himself. Perhaps, it was the fate of the Uchiha to gather as much chakra and elemental affinity before the reckoning of the eye would come forth and guide him through the light.

Reading over the needed handseals, as he would begin to prepare for a string of handseals that needs mastering in order to utilize the jutsu at it's finest. There was a trick though with all the hand seals which was once finishing he would have to hold the boar technique long enough to complete the chakra manifestation within his body to get it sent towards his ears. Perhaps the Uchiha had gained a even better understanding since his bout with the other Uchiha. Though his arsenal was becoming larger by the minute.

Taking his hands and flipping through the hand seals, he would master the seals with such ease. Though the only part giving him trouble was holding the boar seal, but he was so used to just doing so and going through all the remaining process of most jutsus. Shin was about to go through the whole motion once more, but realized he would need a bit more discipline in the finishing touches of the hand seal. Not deciding on going through with the technique he would begin to prepare himself mentally and physically for the next portion of his jutsu.

The Uchiha would go through his hand seals and begin to mentally remember the portion of taking his hands at the end of the chain of commands. That would follow behind him to make a grand battle of mentality to hold this boar sign. Reaching the climaxing end, he would begin to concentrate his chakra throughout the malignant figure that was Shin. Controlling it to it's hardest contempt he was setting up for the goal to make everything work hard. Upon the controlling of self discipline to remember the boar sign was a key to this jutsu being successful.

Pushing his chakra build up towards his ears, he would feel what seemed to be a slight tingle throughout his cranium. While the chakra would make it's way up to his hearing appendages. Thinking and listening throughout the rather large area, the splashes of the surrounding body of water was even louder, he could hear animals scurrying about throughout the forest. Perhaps the Uchiha would even hear any footsteps, he would listen carefully gaining a bit more of a understanding from the technique.

There it was obvious he would hear those that would travel throughout the forest, but perhaps he should be more aware. A rustle off in the distance was heard till there was a noise projecting from his area that would signal the splash of a fish that had jumped out of the rather large sea that would land back with one hell of a splash. Shin would stop and begin to contemplate going more within the Sound release known as Ototon.
