Yori continued to have her kunais follow Yuki, until she notice something odd. A kunai managed to hit him, but did not cause any damage what so ever. She then realized that the tip of her kunais have been dulled by the strange black sand. Another thing she had realized was that the sand was accumilating on top of some of her kunais, making it harder for her to control. "Iron....this sand is made of iron..." She wasn't entirely sure of her theory, but what else would be able to dull the tip of her kunai and weigh it down. The pillars were also made up sand and iron was the only thing that made any possible sense.

She was intrigued by his ability to control the metal substance, and maybe he would make a good team mate after all. Yori the shook her head, reminding herself that she needed no one...no one but her and her puppet Sora. But she was only in denail, and the truth was that in order to be stronger and do missions, you needed a good partner. Yori then realized she had been day dreaming for a few seconds now, and the boy had already created four more pillars circulating around her.

A pillar quickly clashed down next to Yori, and then another one. He was trying to trap her. Yori quickly tumbled away from the pillars, which were infact thinner than before.The kunais began making erratic movements and flying in directions Yori didn't want them to go. She tried regaining control of her kunais by making them go in a smoother flight. The only thing Yori could think of was adding extra chakra to her strings. She hoped that the tiny orb of chakra traveling through the strings would reach the heavy weighted down kunais. Perhaps tha would help her regain control of the kunais.

Just as Yori hoped, she managed to control her kunais alittle better. She redirected them to fly towads the boy, who was resting beside the wooden fence of his backyard. Yori chose to trap him, just as he had did to her. Instead of having her kunais fly in the same direction, she had some go to the right and others to the left. She would then have them meet again and hover in a half circle. If the boy didnt move, Yori would make her kunais hover around the boys neck. Although they were no longer sharp, it was fun to have them all surround him.

Having his neck surrounded by all sides the boy let a small gasp escape. His eyes were wide 'Did a seven year old girl just get me cornered in my own back yard... with TEN KUNAI POINTING AT MY THROAT' He growled deep in the back of his throat, trying to hold back his frustration of being in this situation
He coughed awkwardly "I guess that means you learned your technique..." He said cooly as he lifted his hands to grab the floating kunai's, he managed to get all of them and then he passed them to the girl

"Anyway you're a good fighter, from observation alone I'd have to say you're almost C-ranked in skill" He didnt wait for a reply instead he just smiled lightly "You should be my partner" he suggested [did i spell that right lul]

[Haruka]

[yesh you did X3]
Yori saw the boy's facial expression turn into an angry one, so she cut off the chakra flowing through her chakra strings. The kunais would all fall simultaniously and free Yuki from the threatning kunais. Yori walked up to him smiling. "Not bad, eh?" she said confidently. For some odd reason, she felt comtorable with the boy. Usually, she found herself talking to her puppet, but now she was actually conversating with others. Maybe this is why Fumi forced her to train with him?

"You should be my partner" mentioned the boy, waiting for Yori's respond. How could she say no? He was strong, so was she, and she felt comtorable around him. Blushing slightly, she remembered her hesitant attitude to train with him. She didn't want to sound like a hypocrite, but she didn't want to say no either. Swallowing her pride, Yori decided to give in. "Ok...ok fine. Let's be partners." She clutched her doll tightly and began making her way out of his backyard. "I'll be returning soon to train with you again, so the least you can do is keep your backyard decent..." she said, grinning at the boy. With that, she ran off, back to her own house, to continue her own training.

Kagemane no Jutsu, Ó°ÕæËƤÎÐg (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: Seals are used but unknown.
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of ten meters. Each time this technique is learned the distance increases by another Ten Meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.
Difficulty on Escaping: If the user is the same Difficulty Class as that of the opponent, it takes five rounds for the user to be capable of escaping if they try to escape the whole time. For every rank higher the user is from the opponent the technique lasts for one more round. For every rank the user is below the opponent the number of rounds decrease by one. Now for every two people you trap the technique decreases by holding by one round. This means that if you are a D-Difficulty Class, fighting against two D-Difficulty classes and achieved to where you have caught both of them, you can only hold them for four rounds.
Limit: Nara Clan Technique

Walking out of his small home Yuki was already clear on the fact that as his yard was only 9 long that it would be useless to try to train for the distance there. Before he managed doing it by making the shadow slip into the neighbors' yard but continuing that was going to be an annoyance. So he was leaving for once, looking for a training area or something like it he walked around the village looking for unsuspecting victims to place under his shadow technique "This should be fun" the boy smiled to himself as he found a line of bushes right in front of a walking path

That path ran directly into a bar maybe 23 meters away. The boy smiled at his precise mental measurement and then almost reluctantly ducked himself into the leaf filled itchy bush 'Training is more trouble than its worth' he decided silently 'But it could be fun'Folding his hand to form some seals he absorbed the shadow that the bush made against the floor and turned it to a blot under his knees. Staring at the desolate bar he sighed to himself. It was too early for people to be around, even too early for bums themselves, the best time to try this would've been at night but still being himself he was too lazy to leave

The boy's laziness had caused him to actually drift off he had been staring in the direction of the bar for about an hour before tiredness came upon him but he was woken up some time later by some ruckus in the village. It was so loud he almost jolted to his feet "Whaa" He muttered in his half awake state, then he had remembered what he was doing he parted a portion of the bush with his hands. He had canceled his last jutsu by simply absentmindedly letting go of the shadow but he was happy to see that the shadow had in fact grown

Maybe it was because of the sun going lower in the sky, he was almost sure of this. The shadow that was cast by the bush was a lot longer than the last one he was going to work with 'Better for me' he thought shrugging and looking back towards where the commotion was coming from. It seemed that someone was getting kicked out of the small bar, but he didn't know the reason why from just looking

"Get out of my bar you low life" The owner of the place called, he wasn't exactly the most intimidating in appearance but he did manage to drive the guy out of the entrance. The drunken man staggered "Imaaa low lifeee?" The guy grumbled around looking like he was almost going to miss a step in his walk but he miraculously never fell. "I'ma the one ¡­ people lyke meh! gah! we keeps places like dis runnin¡" he managed through his slurs of words

While all of this was happening the boy was busy doing hand seals for his shadow technique. He clutched the shadow into his control as he made it stretch out towards the lovely arguing duo, managing to go a little bit past his 20 meter mark easily. "Ugh" he spat, it was going to take a little more effort than he had imagine but luckily for him the arguing two hadn't noticed yet "Get out and go home! You had enough you've been here since yesterday" The owner of the place declared

"ETS NOT MAH FAULT YOU GOT DIS PLACE OPEN ALLA DA 24/7" He roared right before he was caught by the shadow imitation technique. The guy froze in his tracks, his eyes were wide and it seemed like if the drunkenness had totally escaped him. "Just go, Please Alfred we go through this every Sunday,­ Don't you get tired of it?" The man tried to reason with the drunk and then he stopped too. "Alfred?" He stared at the frozen man

Mean while at exactly 24 meters away Yuki was hiding behind a tree observing the work of his actions. Putting his hand over his mouth to stiffen a giggle he looked back at what was happening and watched at the drunken man put his hand over his mouth too, he wasn't laughing though "Ima stuck!" the guy managed before his hand covered his mouth completely "Alfred what's happening to you?" the other man asked

"Idiots" Yuki's mind sang, how could the two not notice the long strip of shadow that was clinging to the leg of the drunk, the shadow that would lead the men 20sum meters away and basically expose his hiding spot "Alf--- huh, what is that on your leg?!" The man finally noticed, but before he could continue his utterance Yoshiyuki made his shadow branch off and connect to the man that was standing only a few meters away from the drunk one

"I tolded yoh," the drunken man slurred as he tried to make his eyes follow the line of shadow that lead to Yuki, the boy had now succeeded in catching two people with his shadow imitation technique and this was definitely a lot more entertaining than training by himself at home "Who is that!? Let go of us" The sober man yelped, he seemed more afraid than threatening¡­ maybe this village had been attacked by outsiders before. Whether that idea was true or not the boy had cast it aside while he kept control of the men and thought of what to make them do

‘Now to make them do the most ridiculous things they’ve ever done’ Yuki thought to himself, he of coarse knew this meant that he had to do them to, but doing ridiculous things against your will is a lot worst than just doing them. But Yuki didn’t really have a creative mind at all, so for starters he started doing jumping jacks. The drunken man twitched as he tried to resist “Whahaa” His pupils looked around as he desperately tried to figure out what was going on, and why his body was moving against his will “WHYYYYYYYYY” The bar owner screamed, as if there was no greater horror in the world than getting caught in a simple shadow imitation

The men twitched reluctantly before their bodies gave in and their arms swung up and down at their sides in the air. They both began to do jumping jacks watching each other jump rhythmically “Who-who’s doing this?” They yelped as a third party member came out of the bar. They third man glared at them, as both of the men fell silent never ceasing to do the jumping jacks. The third man gave them a strange look but he dismissed the whole scene figuring that it was just two old men who'd gone mad. Therefore instead of inquiring about it though, he sipped his drink and walked away. The men looked at each other with wide eyes they were still unable to control themselves.
Not more than 30 seconds later the boy felt himself loosing grip of the technique. Right at that moment the boy felt the shadow connecting him to the men flicker...

‘Oh no’ he thought panting quietly, ‘the technique is wearing off’ He was tired after holding those men down for those few seconds and soon against his will the jutsu was cancelled for him. He tried to catch his breath, it took a lot out of him to hold two adults downs and make them do jumping jacks. As the men regained control of their body they looked in the direction of where the shadow came from. They were still yapping out questions as if the other knew the answer but eventually both men began to walk their way over to where Yoshiyuki was hidden

The boy tried to calm his breathing but doing so much at once had simply exhausted him. As he heard the foot steps inch closer he couldn’t help but get worried, his eyes snap shut as at the last minuet he decided to run so he broke out from behind the tree he was hiding in and went off thinking that the two wouldn’t possibly bother with running after him. Two bad for him he was wrong
Yoshiyuki had a good running start of escaping them but when both of the men saw a figure running from the shadows they began to chase him. Even the drunken man seemed to go too fast for Yuki to out run them without cutting corners and doing twist and turns around the village, so instead Yuki decided to stop and face them

The guys were still asking questions yelling at him and cursing as they asked them who he was and why he did it of coarse Yuki didn't answer instead he did the hanThd seals to catch them in the jutsu again. When seeing that the men started to run away "I'm telling Raikage!" one of them said and Yoshiyuki let the two of them run for a while... he was training to learn distance after all. As they ran he silently marked the measurement. 27 meters, 28 finally Yuki made his shadow break out. He made it stretch out to form a thin line that would hopefully reach the two.

His shadow slithered under him and reached out to grab the guy. In order to hold both of them down from this distance he needed to give it his all since whenever he tried to hold two people at the same time doing so would make the distance he wanted to reach cut in half. That meant that in order to hold them both down efficiently he had to know at least 60 meters. Yuki didn't know that much but like before if he put a lot or most of his chakra in it he'd be able to hold them both down for at least a few seconds. It was a test, Yoshiyuki watched as his technique easily got a hold of the first man

As the shadow connected with the heal of the drunken mans foot he tripped on air and fell to the ground. The other man didn't bother to hesitate when he noticed his friend tumble he continued to run..."29 meters" Yuki whispered only his ears would hear. He tried to make his shadow branch out to reach to the running man and when he focused more chakra to his feet he was actually able too. Both men fell dead in their tracks but it took Yuki a lot of energy in order to hold them down

Luckily for him they weren’t resisting much, Yuki fell to his knees, the drunken man did the same and went on his knees too as all three of them held their position “Why are you doing this?” The bar owner said, he was skinny and elderly and Yuki breathed heavily, unable to respond. He was using all of his energy on the technique. He couldn’t even hold them down before the shadow connecting him to them flickered away

When they guys finally realized they were free they began to run after Yuki. This time he had no other choice but to try to collect him self and run too for now he didn’t have enough energy to actually do the jutsu on them again. He was holding two men down at a distance of 27 and 29 meters away… that was more than he had ever done. So the boy ran around the corner of a building, cutting into an alley as he hid behind a trash can. He ducked low and kept very quiet as a few seconds later he watched the two men simply run past him

9/20

[Hmph]

Breathlessly the boy leaned back, putting a hand on his chest he felt a little relieved. The last thing he wanted was for two villagers to catch him and bring him to the Raikage’s office. He hadn’t even been in the village for a long time yet and he didn’t want to get into trouble with the Kage. As he thought this he relaxed and put his back against the brick wall of the alley but as he did so he also had leaned on the trash can, knocking the whole thing over and having its contents fall out and roll onto the ground. “Wait we went past him!” He heard a voice say then he heard foot steps of the men coming back

Yuki went deeper into the alley he smiled at himself since the whole alley was basically in shade. He had ample supply of shadows available to him. The two men appeared and stopped by the alley “Yea it came from there” One of the men said referring to the sound Yuki made. As soon as they walked in the alley Yuki did his hand seals and caught both men in his shadow imitation.

The boy was using any remainder energy he had from before, he didn’t have a lot of rest after running away from the guys but the little energy he did have he used to hold them down. Yuki knew however that he wouldn’t be able to hold them down for long so he had to find a way to get away quickly. Simply running wouldn’t work since he knew the guys would just come after him so once he had them both caught in the jutsu the boy used the Shadow Serpent Strike technique on them.

The boy wasn’t looking to actually suffocate them, he wouldn’t be holding the technique for long enough to have them die. That’s not what he wanted he just wanted to cut off enough oxygen to have them pass out. If things went as he had planned by the time the men woke up they would maybe think it was all a dream and if they didn’t then at least Yuki would be long gone. In the manner of seconds both men were down and unconscious, Yuki stumbled as he ran off planning to make his way safely to his home

A black hawk flew down from the heavens such as lightning does on a stormy night. This hawk was as black as the night and as quiet as shadow, this was the hawk Othello favored, Pwnstar. The hawk flew at the side of Yuki waiting for him to stop his running so that he may deliver his message. When Yuki read the whole thing in full it would burn slowly to ashes as Pwnstar would fly back to the heavens whence he came from.

"You are requested to fight in front of a audience and the Raikage himself in the Thunderdome, this fight is for honor and dignity in the village of cloud and also for the entertainment of the other cloud nin. But the main reason is to show just how strong you really are to the Raikage who will look upon the winner with more respect then ever.....you fight is today and you must show up immediatly. You must arrive from the North Gate of the fighters entrance."

"Satetsu Shojo"(Iron Maiden)
Rank: A-ranked
Skill:Ninjutsu, offensive
Effect: The deadly finishing move of the Masamune clan. If they capture an opponents in Iron sand, then can proceed to impale them within a large metal box
Special: Must capture opponent in Iron sand, Holds Tiger seal.
Drawback:---
Description: Upon capturing an enemy in their iron sand, The user allows the Iron sand to surround the opponents body completely immobilizing them. The iron sand begins to reform and reshape into a medieval "Iron Maiden". Only the eyes of the opponent are exposed during this. Within seconds, the iron sand on the surface turns inward and begins to form spikes which impale the enemy all over there body(head to toe), killing them very fast or slow if the user wishes so.
Limit: Masamune , Kekkai Genkai. C-rank in Polarity field, and Iron sand Domination, B-ranked in Iron sand Transmutation

After his victory in the thunderdome Yuki thought he was going to feel guilty for accidentally killing an innocent cloud ninja. He convinced himself that there was no reason to feel that way so he had layed himself on his back in his back yard and looked up to the sky. Clouds... He knew Koukei was out there somewhere dwelling in the clouds. "Even if we don't recognize eachother, we will meet again" The boy fell asleep and woke up hours later but sadly enough that feeling was still lingering. He sighed, thinking that the only thing that could help him now was some light training to help get his mind off of things. He knew what he wanted to learn next. It was an A-rank "This is going to be a little difficult considering I can't think of anyway to test this on a real human without obliterating them" He put his fingers to his chin in thought "Well I'll just leave that little detail out for later, for now I'll learn the basics on formation"

Putting all the thoughts on prior days aside he focused everything on his jutsu. The Black cylinder was risen into the air as Yuki began to pour its contents about the area. The black powder seemed to sparkle as it flowed from his gourd, the good thing about this jutsu was he didn't really have to do a lot of handseals for it but at the same time that was something that he would find tricky about it. How would he gather his chakra correctly without using the combination of hand seals so that he could release it? He tried to remember if there was even handseals involved at all

Yuki wasn't sure but he tried anyway. He at least knew that the tiger hand seal hand to be held while doing it... but did that mean he held it while the casket was closing upon the person or through-out the whole jutsu? The boy tried to remember but for some reason the memory seemed vague and blurred. "Well that must be the only hand seal then" he said he never doubted his memory so he didn't find a reason to start now. The boy shifted his fingers around in the air directing the chakra where he wanted it to go, he focused on gathering sand for the most part and he watched the black speckles come together as directed by his fingers

The first step was to make the formation. Yuki pictured the way an iron formation such as that would be done. Obviously it would be the size of the person, perhaps even made to form around its head, and the inside would be full of spikes. As simple as that sounded Yuki wasn't sure how to make it. He was used to making symmetrical shapes like squares and triangles but not something that was smooth on one side and spikey on the other. He started by first making a iron sand clone. The bad figure rose and once it was formed Yuki ordered it into a standing position. The clone seemed sort of confused by its orders Yuki didn't even bother to explain to it the reasons for his actions cause it was already clear....it was just another training session

The clone stood motionlessly, it was not black anymore and it was fully done aside from that it looked exactly like him, clothes and all. Yuki began to make the black sand gather around it, the sand rose and began to make a casket like shape around it like two hallow boxes. It took a while for the shapes to form the way he wanted them and in fact he didn't even get it right during his first try. The empty box he tried to make came out solid with only an indent on one of its six sides. The second time he tried he managed to make the indent advance to being a small semi circle inside of the cubed shape. He knew he had to make the box empty and one of the six sides had to be taken away too so he forcused on trying to do that for a few moments

"People can't fit in cubes" he said blandly, he had to make his shapes longer because if he kept the shape he was currently making it would be a waste of sand to make a cube big enough for a human to fit in. He tried to make a five sided three demensional rectangle, one of the sides would be open. One side would go agaisnt the back of the Iron clone, one against the right side, the head, the feet, and the left side. This woulf be half of the coffin like shape he wanted to make, last he would have to try to make a top with spikes "I'm doing this all wrong" he sighed, but he didn't stop the technique he knew this was just practice to learn how to do the spikes inside the semi formed structure

Holding the tiger hand seal he felt his chakra slip from his fingers and into his polarity field. The chakra in the field was diverted to the hood of the structure he was trying to form. He focused the hood on making large spikes along the opposite side. The spikes rose rather slowly as the sand was drawn to the object. Yuki noted the dull tips of each horribly shaped spike. So far he had a huge five foot structure of Iron already formed. It was almost literally an Iron coffin. The spikes was only on the lid of the coffin and they were rather frail even though they were thick and with a final burst of chakra the lid slammed shut on the now frailing iron clone. Before the lid had closed the clone managed to knock out one of the sides of the Iron formation. Its right hand stuck out and hung limp as within seconds the whole thing (along with the Iron box he made) had fell again into Iron powder

All he saw was that dune of Iron powder. Oddly enough he didn't feel remorse for what happened with the little midjet from the battle arena but if that was true why did it itch in the back of his mind so much "I could've been killed" he walked over to the pile and moved his fingers as some of the iron sand curled into the air "I can do almost anything with this powder yet I almost lost" The iron sand swirled up into a sphere and went solid "And that's pathetic" the ball floated to his hand and landed directly in the center. When he squeezed it the ball was still solid and hard.

So why did his clone break apart when he put it in the Iron case? Was the Iron case that much more powerful than his Iron clone? "Its just because I put alot more chakra into the Iron Maiden than I did to the clone, therefore the clone was obliterated" It did make sense when he thought about it but he wanted the clone to be just as hard to break as the Iron Maiden... "Now how do I find out if the Iron Maiden is hard to destroy, the whole thing fell to pieces along with the clone...That must mean that both the clone and the Iron Maiden was close to equal in strength" Eh, he was begining to confuse himself

With his middle finger the boy flicked the tiny ball away and back into the pile he also pulled back a staggering piece of hair that fell in front of his face. In a 'cool boy' sort of attitude he started to train again pressing his hands into the seals for the Iron clone technique again. This time he powered it up pretty good with a bunch of chakra 'If I keep this up by tonight I'll be worn out' he thought 'But it's worth it for a A-rank jutsu, everyone will be surprised when they see that' The black sand rose and formed a tough solid Iron clone, it was fused with alot of chakra so much so that even though it was alot it still couldnt move quickly. The thing was slow but that was going to be a good thing

He allowed the clone to move around the field this time, given it was only allowed to move within a distance of 7.5 meters since his clones could only reach 3/4ths of his polarity field which happened to be 10 meters. The clone began to walk around bringing a thud with each heavy step it made. It looked as though it was trying to run at least but instead it was just going at a normal walking speed. Yuki sighed knowing there was no way to make it faster without making the hallow object thinner, he needed it strong though to be the testing subject of his technique

Instead of trying to form the Iron case around the clone like last time the boy tried to form it in the air by itself, then he would make it float around in the polarity field to try to catch up to the clone and close around it. That seemed like the most likely thing to do. Besides from that another difference in both tries at the technique was that he was now holding the tiger hand seal as he was forming the Iron Maiden as oppose to holding the hand sign only while it was being closed around the targeted object

Yoshiyuki thought that maybe holding the hand seal throughout the whole jutsu would help to make the thing form faster, and seeing as the 'thunks' of the Iron sand clones steps was getting closer and closer by the moment he wanted to form the thing rather quickly or at least faster than he had before. The boy was thrilled a black blanket of Iron particles came up into the air and began to form the shape that he wanted. A layer of Iron was formed, the boy just had to think about how to make the spikes inside the internal layer.

He was in a rush though he knew that the clone was only a few steps away from him now. In a few moments he would probably find himself getting punched in the face or something by the little malicious iron clones that always seemed to catch up to him despite their speed impediment. "Alright then" he was going to have to cheat again, he knew how to make spikes separately from the flat layer but he didnt know how to make it grow from the layer so instead he just made little spikes and attached it to the flat plane as the clone approached

"Whoops, missed me" The boy slipped away from the swing of the iron clones arm as with a snicker he retured his focus on the technique, sadly enough he had made this thing too thin, he was almost sure it would break upon trying to press itself against that solid figure he just made for himself. He moved some of the black particles to the back of the flat surface with chakra and he connected the two to make it thick. The boy noticed how small the spikes were and he was sure it wouldnt correctly impale the clone, but what he wanted to do was try to take some of the sand from the base of the flat plane and move it over to the spikes

That would help give him an idea of how to make the spikes out of the flat plane period and he wouldnt have to make the two structures seperately anymore. Now the boy started to do the other side of the casket, he inhaled as he looked towards the... towards the iron fist that came his way. The boy managed to move his head an inch to the right to avoid the blow, he could even feel the air that went by him as he barely managed to miss getting hit. He stepped even further away still keeping his hands in the tiger hand seal "This is beginning to look like a cat and mouse game, Im forming the thing too slow," he told himself

He made the base just as thick as the other half and he tried to make it equal in size and shape but there was one difference; he made the spikes alot bigger this time. Yuki let out a sigh of relief knowing that he didnt have to worry about dodging blows from iron stuctures anymore... Especially Iron stuctures that looked identical to him. He felt like he was getting owned... by himself "Whatever," He said as he began to make the spikes again he heard the clone coming up fast. The thuds could be heard to be more close together meaning that the clone was really trying to catch him this time

"Okay" In a manner of seconds he was finished making the casing. He was ready to close the Iron case upon the galloping clone. He pressed the back of it against the clones back, and the little spikes were prickled outward just a tad as he moved some of the sand from the thick base to the spikes. The iron wasnt exactly as hard as possible at this point. It wasn't mushy but it wasn't completely hardened to its full potential either, it was still able to be reshapened.

The other side of the piece fell together taking its place in front of the clone. But the thing wasnt having it, it wriggled out of between the two spiked surfaces once it felt the poking at its back from the piece behind it, The Iron case closed on itself with nothing inside as the boy absentmindedly made the spikes grow anyway without there being a victom to make them impress on. The clone twisted its way away from the Iron trap going off a few feet. He felt some of the spikes going into eachother. Breaking off some of the smaller and more weaker spikes. The boy pried the two pieces apart; he needed to catch that clone before the clone caught him

The boy was beginning to get tired of holding the tiger hand seal. With every second that passed he felt more and more of his chakra being drained into the polarity field and that was because he was having a hard time actually catching his clone within the Iron maiden since it was moving 'Come on its a slow thing you should be able to catch it' he thought to himself. The Iron maiden had cracked a bit but he lifted more powder from thr ground to fill in the crack and make it hard, he didn't totally forget about the clone though. He heard the clone coming faster still 'Damn does that thing ever stop trying to move? I mean it is a clone of me why isn't some of my laziness expressed in that piece of sht'

His thoughts moved on 'I gotta get this thing closed on that clone I'm beginning to feel really drained' he thought. No wonder A-rank techniques were so hard to learn they took a lot of energy out of the user. Yoshiyuki remembered his fault at his previous attempt, making the back of the casket press against the clone before the top did was clearly a mistake. One the clone had felt the spikes agaisnt its bad it had of coarse moved out of the way. So this time he wanted to make both parts of the iron maiden close on the clone at the same time so that it had no real chance of escape. The iron sand clone was only a few feet away from him now and the iron maiden was inches away from swallowing it up whole

TSSHHH the sound of the clone being closed within the two the two sides of the iron slabs was kind of muffled given it closed slowly around the iron clone. However it was still fast enough to completely cover it and not give it enough time or space to move away. Finaly the box was closed around the clone and this time none of the iron clones limbs were peaking out from the casket. The spikes began to dig into the clone and while this was happening Yuki was thinking two things. 1) he should probably make a latch at the sides of the iron maiden so that he could really lock things inside and 2) he wanted to make an opening where the persons eyes would be. The least you can do while attempting to kill someone is not to let them die in darkness.

Yuki liked the idea of that but as his focus came back to the technique he was currently doing he held the hand seal a little longer so that the spikes could grow and really dig deeply into the clone but the staggering clone was still 'alive' in a sense. It was still struggling inside of the box the only way it could get out though was to push the two pieces away from eachother but Yuki could think of no way it could to that now that it was basically immoble. Still he saw the top of the iron maiden shake and he heard a large thud. He couldn't see what was going on in there but from the sounds of it the clone probably bumped its body into the top trying to use its weight to make it fall off

But it didn't work. It did shake the whole structure a little bit but it didn't nothing major. The clone was caught and Yuki now felt the spikes enter one side of the clone and exit inside of its hallow body as it went even deeper. He was transfering sand from the base of it to make the spikes thicker and longer. Almost instantly after that he felt the sand from the iron clone break apart. In clumps and shards it fell to the bottom of the iron casket and turned back into sand. The boy was finally able to release the hand seal. The iron maiden suddenly fell on its side and cracked in half leaving the inside open for observation

It cracked open. This meant that the iron clone was probably seconds away from escaping it. He had tried to fix the crack before and he at least succeeded in holding the clone off for as long as he did and initially destroying it but there was still many flaws. The shape of the thing was all wrong "Isn't it suppose to be like the outline of a person?" It made more sense for it to be like that, it saved him sand and it also gave the opponent less space for mobility. "I'll do it better next time" he said as he went into his home through the back yard entrance. He was going to take a well needed break and he was going to get a drink of water as he let his muscles relax and recover from the chakra loss.

Flying over the entire area of the village of cloud Zeek and Pwnstar scanned every yard searching for the one known as Yoshiyuki. This was the iron sand user so it couldn't be that hard to spot. Just as they made a turn they saw his house. As if they knew each others actions they both swooped down upon the house and landed on the stoop in front of the door. They both tapped on the door 3 times also in unison. If Yuki opened the door and didnt see them Pwnstar would open his loud beak and say "YO Sandy boy down here we got your stuff from that halfass battle you had at the Thunderdome". As soon as that left Pwnstar's mouth Zeek would slap Pwnstar upside his head with his wing. "Be nicer to the genin, remember when you were a fledgling bird barely outa the egg, don't make me bring up the stories of how you flew into that wall."

"That was that one time! and the sun was in my eyes, and there was a sudden updraft of wind" said Pwnstar looking away from Zeek and folding his wings, it was as if these hawks were like humans stuck in animal bodies.

"Anywayyyyyy...." Said Zeek looking back towards Yuki "We do have those items and Miss Tanaka the Raikage's assistant thought it would be nice if you received them since you earned them and all." Zeek opened the bag with his beak to show the items inside.

16 senbon, 8 exploding tags

1,000 Ryo

Name Blades of Chaos

Rank: D-S (Must be leveled up with training.)

Type: Main.

Effect: Extremely durable blades that can not be destroyed easily. They are needed for the Chaos Blade fighting style. Lightning attacks can be channeled through them due to their magnitude as a conductor.

Drawback: Needs a lot of training to control.

They can never be taken off, once bonded with the user the Gauntlets are there forever. Only the man known as Chaos has been able to take the Gauntlets off, and he left most of his skin behind. However, by using a small amount of chakra per post they can be attached to the Chains/Gauntlets so as to do handseals.

Any type of lighting (jutsu or not) is attracted to them and amplified by them, hurting the user for 1.5 times the damage it would have caused.

Description: [image]

It is a weapon made up of three parts. Starting at the arm is a pair of Gauntlets that reach up to the elbow. These, along with the blade are made of an unknown alloy that is as heavy as steel but much more durable. The Gauntlets alongside with the handles of the Blades are dirty gold. While he Chains and Blades are silver. One would have a hard time telling that the Blades are silvers though. They are so stained with blood that they appear red.

The Gauntlets are simple flexible metal that attach to two things: the Chains and the arms of the user. The Chains are simple link chains that wrap around the Gauntlets and attach to the bottom of the Blades. The Blades stray from the mold here however. They are made with a complicated design with many twists and spikes. The Blades are quite short yet thick. They are curved backwards with smooth edges at the top making them good for stabbing from below. Then in the middle they are very thick before becoming thinner again at the base. From the middle down they are serrated on the sides and they can tear and cut easier. The handle is golden with spikes coming off both sides of the hand guards.

Limit: One. Must have Chaotic alignment and be Ninjutsu/Taijutsu specialist to wield.

Cost: 20, 000

Limit: The user needs to stay below this weight and height: 95 lbs. 10 feet.

"I think thats everything it was a heavy load bringing it over here" said Zeek. Pwnstar still looking away said "Hmph speak for yourself....I so have you know we are the strongest and fastest of all the Kage's birds and that bag was not that heavy". These two seemed to have been brothers by the way the acted and it also looked like a comedy act. "Whatever birdboy....Hey Yuki do you mind if we come in for a bit, my beaks a bit thirsty and I wanna talk about that talon thing you have there, I saw that the boy you faced off with in the dome was able to fly with that n_n if you need help i could help you" If Zeek could smile he would be doing so now.

"Dude...whats wrong with you...helping a ninja fly!? its bad enough they can climb up the tree's where i sleep now you want them to invade my skies...jeez man" Pwnstar squawked and flapping his wings with agitation. "Don't make me tell him the rooster story Pwnstar...." Zeek said his eyes flashing a cold stare towards his fellow bird. "Fine....ya didn't have to go that far..." Pwnstar said putting his head down in defeat. They both waited to be let in.

Sitting at his coffee tabe made out of...you guessed it; iron Yoshiyuki sipped on a small glass of tea he had made for himself, he was relaxing after a trainning session when he heard a few knocks at his door. His first thought 'Its Yori she came to train again with me' the boy hurried to the door he didn't bother looking through the little peek hole as he expected to see just what his eyes would land on... Nothing? 'Damn again I've been fooled' he thought as he was about to close his door 'Stupid pranksters'

He stopped when he heard a voice "What the?!" Looking down he saw a few crows and the voices had seemed to be coming from them "What the hell is this? Talking birds?!" They two had a package that they seemed to be delivering once he got used to the idea of talking animals he listened to them and was a bit offended when that one cocky thing spoke about his "half assed" battle
"Hey," he said to the little thing "I happen to think that was one of my best battles" He blew his nails and rubbed them against his shirt before he looked at them again and saw them sparkle. "Kidding," he added quickly after. He did after all kill a man he wasn't exactly proud of that.

"So this is for me eh? What am I suppose to do with all this junk?" Junk or not the boy picked the bag up and threw it over his shoulder and into the house. He took a peek inside but he hadn't observed everything fully. He stood at the door protecting the inside of his house from the crazy ass birds but one of the things asked to come in and also offered to help him learn how to use the items "Alrighty you've got yourself a deal, but if that little runt has anything to say about it..." He glared at pwnstar "I have no problem at all with turning him into a block of metal" He winked after "Don't let the fate of that cloud nin befall yourself," he said in a sort of dead bored tone

He was joking about the fight even though he had strong feelings of digust at himself for the outcomes. Now he was keeping the guys Ryo and weapons, where was the dignity in that? However he wouldn't turn the gift down he'd take it and learn to use it effectively he felt that that would be the only way to pay respect to the mans spirit. 'The fight in cloud will never die, even with clouds fallen ones.' The kid thought closing his eyes for a second. He led the crows inside and gave them water "You must be tired" he said
