The Demon Awakening(Private)

[Kuro]

[Enter]

As darkness would befall them Shingai would note that there would be a rather large cave near by. He had been here years ago, he had used the cave for shelter once before. So it would be his shelter once more on the run, but unfortunately this time his running was unknown to him. As he began to enter the large cave he would keep his wits about him. He had grabbed some wood from outside in the brush. He would stack it once he was deep enough within the cave and begin a fire using the instant spark jutsu a few different times. The flames were well contained and meant for mere light and heat nothing more and nothing less.

He would sit down against the ground, leaning back against the wall of the cave. His eyes staring deep into the fire as Shingai's mind would begin to wander. His hatred still boiling, but the blood lust was building, killing the boy and then the man in Otafuku Gai. All this blood shed was exciting Shingai's own blood, he wanted to continue to kill, his demon was beginning to be set loose upon the world. Just as the dreams had foreshadowed within his mothers subconscious. "We'll rest here for the night," he would say not looking away from the enticing dance of the flames on the wood.

[Flashback]

That night, Mikuru couldn't exactly "sleep".No matter how much she tried, memories of her travels with Hibari were all that surfaced. Her subconscious mind telling her the truth of how she felt. Every skirmish they ever had was flowing through her mind now, one of them in particular stood out. It was during their travels through Mizu no Kuni, that country was always trouble for them. They engaged in combat with a genin team that was going to deliver something to a client. Hibari really disliked ninja and likewise so did Mikuru. Picking up a mission for a rich client to steal the package and bring it to him; what a dual benefit! The genin weren't any trouble for Mikuru or Hibari either. The duo were perched high within the rafters, the land's mist helping to obstruct them from view. Hibari would prepare several water clones to distract the genin whilst Mikuru channeled her hatred, jealously, and confidence to produce the Dark Ki.

Once the chakra was flowing through her left arm, it'd pool itself into her left fist respectively. It'd illuminate the hand; displaying a Black fire unlike any other. With this; the Burning Knuckle was ready to go. Now it was only a matter of eliminating the helpless genin. Hibari would be off, moving to distract and disable the genin. Likewise she'd slam her left fist into the trunk of the tree. The sound of the burning and the fist slicing through the trunk would create a large sound. One perfect for distracting their focus from the sight upahead. No sooner would Hibari already be a few feet infront of them; water clones at the ready. Just as they armed with Shuriken and the like, Mikuru in a burst of speed was already to the lead genin's back. Her Knuckle slammed right into the spine, burning him as his body flailed.

This genin wouldn't be able to be a ninja ever again but it didn't matter. The other genin wouldn't stand still and let the assault go down. They'd aim their shuriken and the like at Mikuru and Hibari respectively. Using the sword she had on her at the time that be easy to deflect before slamming her fist in a powerful lefthook to their jaw. Though it wasn't the only thing she'd do. Her left hand proceeded to grasp the female genin by the neck, the burning grip tearing through the skin.Due to the tight grip on the girl's neck; Mikuru would hoist her off the ground and use her as a shield when the remaining genin assaulted her form with kunai and senbon. Most unfortunate that he'd injure his own teammate as a result.

Once her frontal form was skewered, she'd toss the girl up slightly before sending one final punch from her left fist, connecting directly to her spine just like the other. She'd be sent flying through the lands of Mizu no Kuni.

"Too easy."

Retrieving the parcel, Mikuru and Hibari would proceed on their way, two blue birds continuing to travel the clear blue skies.

[flashback end]

Perhaps Shingai's own building problem was over Mikuru's head, she'd seemingly phased in and out of consciousness, momentarily falling asleep only to awake once more. The fact she awoke suddenly, she began to look out to the fire. The cave surrounding them now, she sighed though not in relief. When would the pain subside...

[Tenkai]

Learned.
Add it.

[Kuro]

As he sat against the wall his mind would still wander, no fear was present within his conscious, he welcomed any memory that he may uncover. The memories would rise faster as he slowly nodded off into his dreams. Shingai was exhausted from his battle and traveling. It was a well deserved rest upon his part...

~Flashback~

Limit: Must be in the Kuroi Akumu. Only is use able during or after Endless Night

[0/20]

As Shingai would find some down time within the deep thick forest of the Thunder Country he would decide to break out the Akumu scroll and practice a little bit of the techniques, for he would need to stay ever loyal to his clan, they were his family after all. He would sit down upon a large rock that was nearby; he opened the scroll after he had situated himself properly. He began to read through the scroll searching for the next jutsu to learn on it. As his eyes scanned through the scroll he found it. Fuyu Mari, or Winter’s Ball technique, this jutsu was an advancement to the Endless Night technique that he had learned not that long ago. As he read into the technique he would begin to picture within his mind. A jutsu that creates orbs of black snow out of the falling snow around him, these orbs can then be launched off in an offensive or defensive strike. This could prove to be very useful to the young Akumu. He would grin beneath his mask at the useful combinations of techniques that the Akumu had. They really did like building off one another when it came to their jutsu.

He would continue to read further into the technique, knowing that with proper research he could learn this technique as quickly as possible and with as little wasted chakra as well. He hated the style of training considered trial and error. It was the biggest waste of chakra and time. It wears on the body much faster if you constantly spend chakra with out ever getting anywhere with it. Shingai preferred to perfect it before actually attempting it. Otherwise he would grow tired much faster during his training. So he would continue to read on making sure he gathered all the information and tips he could. His ice blue optics shifting from side to side as they scrolled across the lines of writing. As he pulled apart more and more of this technique he would want to know more, it was addicting, this knowledge of power that the Akumu seem to hold. Within hatred is power, with power comes destruction, and destruction leads to hatred. The circle of the Akumu repeated so many times within the young Akumu’s life.

Using this technique in combination with the powerful jutsu of Endless Nigh, Shingai would be able to tear apart his opponents without having to move more than his arm. This kind of power was even more enticing then the previous information provided within the scroll. Shingai was beginning to think that his kill count will rise in great amounts if he was to use this jutsu properly at his own disposal he would be able to say destroy an entire villages population without them even knowing what or who was attacking them. A sickening chuckle would escape his lips as he continued to imagine the use of this technique. Within his mind the black snow was swirling around his person, blinding and irritating to those whom he targets. Though he is completely unaffected by the Endless Night, he would merely laugh at the weaklings he preyed upon. Holding up his right hand and gathering chakra the orbs would form. He launched them off tearing through civilians with ease. Shingai’s memories of days long ago were surfacing within this own flashback. Shaking his head he would return to the reality of his flashback.

Sitting alone in the forest, Shingai would then close up the scroll, placing it back upon his person, the Chuunin had much to do before he could set off on missions again, and his Ryo was running rather low. A necessity was set within a killers mind. To survive one must push themselves to an all new level of urgency, pushing themselves over their boundaries and testing their limits breaking and rebuilding in a better time. He would stand up, the grin upon his chin, showing confidence within his abilities. Shingai’s porcelain mask would be placed upon his face as he lived his life behind this demon. It helped him keep in the real demon that he’s destined to unleash one of these days. His hands would move in a blur and a series of seals was completed, his chakra began to pour out of his body as he preformed the Endless Night technique. The black ash like snow would begin to fall, the storm brewed and built up within the clouds as the terror of darkness would begin to befall his surroundings. The grin remained upon his face as he would now prepare to channel his chakra in a whole new form.

Welcome to your nightmare…

He would hold up his right hand, limp at the wrist he would begin to focus his chakra within his arm channeling it to his right palm. It would be here where he would have to expel his chakra into the black ash to form the new technique. So he would build up his arsenal here before he would even bother to attempt the real strikes of this technique. Due to the lack of hand seals it would take more mental focus upon Shingai’s part than usual, something he wasn’t a fan of. Though he did agree to the fact that it would make this attack much harder to be seen. Using the cover of the black snow, the lack of motion required this technique can be set off and completely catch an opponent of guard if done properly. His chakra flow would simply continue as he would think, it built as his decisions were coming to more final conclusions upon the thoughts of this technique and it’s necessity to be learned.

~End Flashback~

-The Next Morning-

Shingai's eyes would widen quickly as he returned to his concious state. He would pop up from his position of his dreams. The fire had burned out over night. The sun had risen and the morning had come. Shingai would stand and stretch quickly he would turn towards Mikuru to see if she was awake or not. It would be time to move out soon.

Now that she was awake, it begged more pressing thoughts to surface within her cerebral. Why was she fortunate enough to have so much people assist her, yet Hibari was not so fortunate? There was many times when it seemed as if she wandered on like he wasn't there. It brought a smile to her lips, one that's roots was masked in sadness. Her mind would only continue to recall precious memories she had made with her fellow blue bird. Thus she began to remind herself of a familiar technique, one she hadn't used in awhile, a familiar song filling her mind:

[Flashback. Theme]

Considering the duo, they had travelled throughout the continent freely. They could be in Kusa no Kuni one week and Ame no Kuni in the next. For this adventure they were within Taki no Kuni. Not only where they in Taki no Kuni, they were on the run! Yes the missions Mikuru got for them weren't always assasination. Many of them were rather adventurours, such as stealing prized possessions and escaping to sea. In many ways they were more like Pirates at times; this was one of them. She could vividly remember Hibari scolding her, stating that she had gone too far. Focusing her chakra; the ram hand seal forming to mould it for this particular jutsu; her shoulders would slant mid-run, shoulder bones proceeding to grow and burst through her skin. She winced in pain; her left eyelid closing momentarily. For this scenario due to the conditions, she'd be sure to grow her bones three times the length of her arms.

Feathers would soon emerge over the bones; dawning the girl in beautiful white wings. Her words seemed to echo in her mind, asking for Hibari to grab her hand. Once he did, she'd burst into a quick sprint before her wings took to the skies. It wasn't a technique she used often in her repitoire, thus the feeling of the wings were awkward. She'd have to flap that much harder in order to properly gain altitude. The strain in her face was imminent but she maintained a devious smirk all the same. She remembered looking to Hibari's face; recalling how exhilierated he looked. They were flying after all, his happy laugh seemed so innocent. It was hard to believe such a lad stuck by the spoiled Princess sometimes. Yet who wouldn't when they got to experience such thrill?

Her form was rocking back and forth, hardly picking up on the bursts of wind beneath her. It caused her to pull Hibari closer so that she was hugging him close to her form. With him that close, she was able to pilot through the skies. She went into a nosedive before swooping up and gliding. They were heading to the border were a boat was waiting for them. Thank goodness for the many rivers in this nation. More importantly thank goodness she was in a glide for just as she was about to land, her wing gave out. The bone having not properly formed at the time; was now exhausted. Thus they'd fall into a tail spin, spinning rapidly. Thank goodness they'd land right into the river. No sooner were they pulled up to shore by one of their affiliates.

A close call but it was a fun experience...

[Flashback End]

Thus her flashback had lead to a peaceful dream. She couldn't recall when her eyelids had closed throughout the experience. Her only regret was that the memory was fleeting, the sun's beautiful rays kissed her pale skin. It resulted in her eyes opening instantly, while she didn't "dislike" the sun, she didn't like the effects on her skin. Thus she awoke only to see Shingai looking at her. Moving her right hand, she'd grasp her left shoulder, recalling her wings. That was when she sighed. It seemed it was time to go but that didn't mean her mind was necessarily in the right place.

[Tenkai]

Nice theme. +10. 10|30

[Kuro]

He wouldn't move as she would awaken. He continued to observe her, she seemed so innocent, untainted by the horrors that the shinobi's life has wandered through. "Sorry to rush you, but we need to make another stop," he would say in a regular tone. Shingai's moods were swinging too rapidly for his own good. Eventually this strain would lead to a breakdown, one that wouldn't allow him to return. But for now he would worry more about the goals at hand. He needed to stock up before he set off on his journey he didn't wish to be ill prepared when he made his run for love.

So he would begin to make his way out of the cave with her. The sun's bright beams glared into the shinobi's eyes. Covering it with one hand he would stop until his retinas adjusted to such a change in light. "We're off to Tanzaku Gai," he would say at first. "I hope to find something of value there," he added before setting off through the woods once more. It would seem he wouldn't stop until he reached his goal, his eternal peace.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Stepping out of that dark cave, her hazel and lavender eyes respectively proceeded to look forward. A flash of her right hand across her other eye and the lavender would disappear, returning to the hazel she required. Now it was time to keep moving, there was more she had to see of this nation, yet her mind wouldn't let her focus. Hazed with the memories of yesterday; that fleeting dream would return to her in full force. Her subconscious mind caused her to perform the ram handsign, moulding the chakra within her body. It'd proceed to locate itself near her shoulders before the bone ripped through. It caused a large hole within her black cloak. First from the left side, then her bones along the right shoulder emerged. Once more the span of her wings would be three times her arm length. Feathers grew in, which caused an itchy feeling along the skin and bone forming from the new bones.

Her face reflected the pain she was in, her teeth gritted in order to hold back the possible screams. It forced her body to kneel, the weight of the wings beginning to take effect. For someone so dark, it was a wonder that she had beautiful white wings. During the Ritual, the bird that she merged with was that of a delicate dove. Perhap's Shingai's analysis of her wasn't too far from the truth. Maybe she would have been able to grasp the same innocence Hibari was in different circumstances...

[Flashback, Theme Continued]

After the rescue operation within Taki no Kuni, the duo would be moving safely on deck. Hibari was still talking about their sudden flight of fancy while Mikuru simply sat down on a fold out chair. The pain in her shoulders lingered somewhat but the thrill of flight touched her. Flying, why she didn't do it more she wasn't sure. Even now, she felt like growing those wings and hitting the skies. Though the mission came first and right now they needed to return it to the client. At the very least there was some downtime and thus she began to think back to the very ritual.

[Flashback within the Flashback]

Her Tsubasa sensei and family friend was weary after the ritual was performed. It was a taxing procedure but for children blessed by god; they always overcame the difficult task. Within his hand he had a family scroll. It contained the various techniques of the clan. He'd rest it down on Mikuru's bed. He hadn't realized the young girl; then fifteen at the time was awake. Her left hand reached for the scroll and opened it as quickly as she could. Lavender hues proceeded to comb over the inscribed text; stopping at the Wing Growth technique. The look of resolve within her eyes was clear. Having grasped the general idea, she'd begin to perform the ram handsign. The Male Tsubasa couldn't help but step back, he wasn't sure if he was seeing things but it appeared as if Mikuru was trembling. The bones within her body were adapting to the ritual performed. New bones began to grow into place through chakra and when her left shoulder popped; Mikuru let out a loud scream.

Medics had rushed over to hold both the girl's hands. The pain would continue as the left shoulder adjusted and grew. The future President's pain would not subside however as the right shoulder began to pop also. The bone seemed to rip out through the flesh and another loud scream was heard within the spare room. The first time Mikuru had done this technique she was not able to even move the wings that formed. She had to spend the remaining time in bed, simply flapping them as best as she could. With each beat of the white wings; the pain resonated through her body. You'd think her eyes would display a feeling of regret but instead excitement sparkled. It caused the old man to laugh, though he'd promise to teach her some flying tips when the time came.

[Flashback within flashback end]

Later that night the boat had arrived at the client's house. They were on the border near the Rice field Country. Setting anchor, the fun times ceased momentarily. Now was the time of professionalism. Mikuru and Hibari would enter the client's home, the lights off. He soon spoke; stating he was expecting them. As with many Akumu clients; this man preferred not to show his face. He explained that they should rest the parcel down and the payment was within an envelope outside. Following instructions to the letter, they'd take the envelope. Once the Ryo was accounted for, the feint smell of powerder lingered within the air. It caused Mikuru's eyes to open wide. Her hands forming hand seals, ending in the ram handsign.

"No time to waste Hibari, grab on!"

Once the boy grasped her arm, the bones within both her shoulders shot out at the same time. Due to the adrenaline of the moment, the pain that normally would be felt was bypassed on mental strength alone. Instead she'd utilize the sidestep shadow step, taking off into a safe distance before flying up. Instinct was a powerful thing, for just as Mikuru took off the client's house exploded. Wether or not that was a safety procedure done by the client or not was questionable. His protection was not negotiated as part of the contract; thus she didn't worry. The tailwind from the explosion had sent the duo forward but they'd return back to the boat.

Mikuru didn't bother to land, instead she alerted their acquaintance to leave the boat and cross the border. In time, several other explosions began to go off within the area. They escaped very narrowly, especially considering the lack of knowledge in this situation. It certainly elevated the thrill of flight. For some reason now and even in future incidents, they'd always end up making some unusual escapes. Unfortunately those fun escapes would now come to an end. Her experience with the jutsu had come into maturity throughout those times.

[Flashback End]

Now then, she'd find herself rising to her feet. Depression wasn't really her thing, she hated to be in a bad mood just as much as those whom put her in a bad mood.

"Tanzaku no Gai? Whatever valuable thing you find, I hope you grasp it. I too, will proceed to do some searching there."

That was when she looked to Shingai directly, he'd always wondered her name, yet he didn't realize just how close they really were. Their path was connected by a great woman whom came before her. For a brief moment, tears streamed down her cheeks. Her right hand swiftly removed the contacts before they damaged her eyes. Should Shingai be looking into her optics now, he'd find an unusual sight. Those lavender hues were transforming, albeit slowly. The end result was crimson hues; black tomoe aligning the pupil along the radius. One eye contained three, the other one tomoe. The eye with the one tomoe soon grew a second tomoe, just as her freshly grown wings would beat once more.

"Revenge."

[10/20]

Shingai would be standing still in the woods alone, hidden within his black snow, his chakra building up within the palm. He could feel the arsenal build and build within the very palm of his hand, wondering as to what potential he would reach with this chakra of his. Was Shingai really going to become such a demon as he was foreseen to become, would he really be the Nightmare of the world with this power within his very body. He wouldn’t be aware but he longed to become stronger, he had to. It was the only way to survive within the changing times, one had to change with the times, adapt, for only the strong survive. With that being known Shingai wouldn’t stop as he continued to pump forth his chakra into the palm of his hand. He was feeling the urge, the urge to release his chakra out and let his wrath reign over those whom cross his might.

That sick and twisted grin ever so sickening today, as he would now begin to pump the chakra out slowly into the air surrounding his hand. Black snow was gathering around his hand, forming one giant orb around the very hand itself. This wasn’t right, not at all, so Shingai would correct it. A quick burst of his own chakra flow to help mold his newly obtained weapon he would continue to push out his chakra at a steady pace with random outbursts of chakra to help obtain a more separated shape. Shingai’s hand would now be sitting behind a single black orb still far too large for what he was hoping to obtain. He would send a much large burst of his chakra out from his hand into the black snow around him. The large orb would suddenly split evenly into two orbs, the grin would remain with him as he trained it would seem. At least for now anyway…

As the two orbs would hover before his fingers, Shingai would glare out with his ice blue optics. He was getting tired of this game. He wanted to have some real fun, he turned his arm aiming his fingers towards a nearby tree. “Test,” he would say quietly under his breath. The two orbs would launch off towards the tree at incredible speed. They struck hard cracking through the bark an cutting half way through the thick trunk of the tree. His grin grew even more twisted. Shingai’s urge to complete this was burning within his very blood, boiling it up with such rage. His chakra still flowing out of his hand slowly he would begin to pick up the pace of it gathering more black snow as the blizzard of ash raged on beating down on it’s surroundings. Shingai was intending to aid in the beating of the surroundings by gaining more power within his arsenal. One burst of chakra, and the two orbs would recreate before his hand.

A slight sigh escaped his lips as boredom was becoming ever so apparent within his posture. His chakra still pumping out picking up speed more and more as he continued to attempt this technique. A quick burst would disrupt the flow for a moment, and the two orbs became three. Now hovering, awaiting orders in front of his finger tips. Shingai’s grin was slowly loosing interest in this tedious process. As his muse began to fade with the time he was taking, shingai would send out yet another burst of his chakra and the three orbs would soon become four. He was growing so close to completion yet he remained so far away still. He was growing irritated with such a process having to be continued. The flow of chakra continued to quicken as it built up more and more. A final burst of chakra would shoot form his hand. The black snow was manipulated once more around his hand.

Now there was five orbs, just as he hoped to control. He was about ready to test them when the snow fall started to slow down. He couldn’t boost that without sacrificing his technique that he has worked so hard to obtain to this level. He remembered back to the scroll, it did say this could be used after the technique. The snow had stopped and Shingai would stand there, his arm held out and five black orbs hovered in front of the tips of his fingers. This time it wouldn’t be a test, Shingai was going to unleash the full furry of Winter’s Ball upon the surroundings. “Now, now you die,” he would say in a wicked and cold tone, with that the orbs would launch off with such force towards the same tree that he targeted earlier. The tree would soon topple over, the loud crash within his mind would soon snap him from his memories…

[10/20]

~End Flashback~

Her words would be odd, she seemed to be going through just as hard times as Shingai. But her last comment had caught his attention. "What would such a young girl know about reve..." he stopped in the midst of his words as he had turned his eyes locked upon a new site. Her sharingan eyes tearing through his mask through his soul itself. "Those... those eyes..." he would say. Standing still now, not moving, something needed an explanation. Shingai wasn't sure what to do, she was Akumu she had to be, that chakra... but those eyes.

This technique will also allow the user to pierce Genjutsu and see the surrounding reality for what it really is with greater accuracy. The user when learning the second tomoe they are capable of going into other forms of jutsus that deals and consists with the second eye. This can help them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a real threat or merely a bunshin.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user can not copy techniques which are unique to another bloodline. User must have the Release, or Perception in order to copy the type of Release or Perception they wish to learn. The user is incapable of copying a technique that has specific prerequisites such as another technique is needed first.
Description: Sharingan (ŽÊ—ÖŠá "Copy Wheel Eye,") 2nd Tomoe The eyes of the user turns red in color with a black pupil in the middle. Two Tomoe (Comma) appears along the opposite ends of the eyes. Each eye gains two Tomoe. At this stage the user is growing more powerful within the capabilities of seeing into what exactly the Sharingan truly is.

The user is capable of predicting three movements. At this point the user is capable of copying techniques. The type of copying does not add into the user's overall Training Points within a Class Level. When a user copies a technique to learn for every regular training point a user gets the user will get an additional training point which is called Sharingan Points. These points allows a user to learn techniques faster, but this affects the user's learning capabilities but not the overall Training Points to raise a Class Level.

Mikuru's Sharingan had always been very messed up. One tomoe constantly sought a level which was not capable by the other eye. That is to say, her left eye wad advanced...whilst the right eye displayed her true level...thus lagging behind. Still, both eyes looked into Shingai's ice blue optics. She could tell he was speechless but at this point, the blood of Uchiha was boiling within her. It caused her identity to be blown, now she'd have to explain herself to her hero. He was positive that she was Akumu and her character; lifestyle; everything about her certainly reflected this truth. Still, she walked closer to him; her white wings flapping in order to stretch the muscles. The most important thing was her body langauge was gentle as always. She extended her hand towards him, offering him a lift to Tanzaku no Gai.

"Allow me to read your mind for a moment Brother Shingai."

Her eyes began to observe subtle movements, one's that she began to pick up when she first activated those eyes on a night long ago. Back then she was just beginning to become sensitive to things around her. This new found strength movements became more evident, subtle gestures weren't so subtle anymore. Thus with each breath he took, each twitch, her eyes beheld the action.

"You are stating to yourself, those are the eyes of the Sharingan, yet this girl...is an Akumu. However, I am not Akumu by birth. Neither are my parents Akumu, I'm adopted into this great clan which we're proud of. My mother's name is Hyuuga Hinagiku. My father's name is Kouketsu Uchiha; The King of Uchiha. I'm just...a child whom shouldn't be possible to exist in this world."

Her eyes though held within the Sharingan state reflected the sadness that she felt. It caused her to look away from him now, her head tilted up to glaze to the clear blue sky. She had caught sight of an eagle taking flight. Previously it was hard to truly grasp the movement within a bird of prey's wings. Many a time in her past she tried to observe the creatures to better her own flight, yet now...everything was so clear. Was this power that she felt awakened from Hibari? It caused her gaze to shift focus. She looked to the left where she observed an old trap. It was masked by Genjutsu and to the normal eye it'd have remained that way. However now that she could see it, she simply laughed. Such a cheap trick didn't require much focus anymore, it just came natural.

"Your silence...does my true heritage disturb you? The child of an Hyuuga and Uchiha, you know some people would have called me a Miracle Child. Others called me a child from the future..."

Within an instant...Mikuru's form simply disappeared and reappeared directly infront of Shingai. She moved to cusp the side of the man's mask, standing upon her toes in order to reach up and whisper something.

"You however, can call me Mikuru."

With that she'd utilize the jutsu once more and continue walking ahead. Her eyes looked out in order to see a sign ahead. What luck that there was a route to their destination close by. Now that she had a change of perspective she felt calmer, relaxed. There was no doubt in her mind that the man would proceed to his destination as well. He could just as easily catch up and continue to walk with her. Thus she didn't need to slow down her walk. Instead, she could study the environment in full detail. Although much of it was present prior, when one changes their level of understanding it allows for more information to reach their mind. They are no longer ignorant, something that aided the Uchiha in that regards.

The wretched blood, the Uchiha have disgraced within his own presence. But to hear the words that the young girl spoke, he was heart broken, claiming to be the child of his love, and an Uchiha. His eyes would widen, yet they remained dry. His cheek would twitch as several switches were flipped within the confines of Shingai's mind. "How... how is this possible, Hinagiku was a year younger than myself," he would begin to question the logic behind her words. He wasn't bothered one bit by a cross of Hyuuga and Uchiha blood, it was clear that the Uchiha's disease was a more dominant trait in comparison to that of the Hyuuga's. "She can't be her daughter, the times don't match up. She slanders my love's name!?!" the thoughts racing as he became more enraged with the choice of words that this girl spoke.

She approached him, questioning him once more about her bloodline. "To hell with your blood!" he would shout. "That matters not. But your slanderous lies end now!" he would shout. She still approached him. Who was this girl, what was this feeling. Shingai was mad, yet torn to shreds, his emotions swirling up the Demon would only feed upon them. But she would touch his mask and make a rather passing note towards him. Her true name is revealed. She would then pass by him and he wouldn't be sure of what to do.

Dropping to his knees, tears now streaming down his cheeks. "Stop!" he would shout, his voice was cold, the anger had taken over. The Demon has been stirred within it's cage, awoken and freed from it's captive life. "Stop!" he would shout out in pain as he took a stance, crouching now, grasping at his head as if he was in pain. Shingai's presence was being destroyed piece by piece, all by these little words. "It can't be true!" he would shout, his cold tone gone now the emotions rushing like a raging river busting out through a dam. "But it is..." the cold tone took over once more. Shingai's demon was battling within his mind for dominance. He needed help but all he had was this girl, the cause for his suffering.

Standing straight up, pure black chakra raging out of his body like flames of the wicked. A sickening chuckle would ring out form his mouth. Shingai would then keep walking, heading towards Tanzaku Gai. But with a new purpose in mind. The beginning of the end has arrived, a spirraling head trip of pure hatred and rage pouring in and feeding the Demon of the Akumu's strength. His eyes remained wide open, the raging mad man had been unleashed. "Come child," the cold raspy voice would command. "And witness the downfall of mankind..."

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Moved.

[Mikuru Uchiha [~Miko]]

Demons seemed to plauge Shingai for he claimed that Mikuru was lying to him yet in time his mind would crack. It gave rise for the demon within; the akumu within. How he did his legacy proud. Her Sharingan didn't fail to see the Dark Ki pouring out from within, her head turned to look over her left shoulder. Nor did her ears miss his pleas. She couldn't do anything for him in this case. The man had simply gone mad, thus she only needed to witness it, to see what he would do. It came in the form of silence, he positioned himself so that he was upstraight. THe chuckle that he made caused a small smile to grace her features, he proclaimed an unusual tale; the end of mankind. He then would take lead down to Tanzaku Gai, she herself simply nodded. Something else had caught her eye as they traveled.

Within the sky above, two Birds of Prey had begun to duel. Perhaps it was symbolic of the state of Shingai's mind. One of them was a black bird, the other was tainted in grey. With each clawed strike her she began to predict the area where the birds would strike. Her lips mouthing each point yet no words came from her sound box. Sometimes an action seemed to be too fast, other times it was masked due to a wing. Yet one thing was clear, she could predict the winner of this outcome. The final pecks which she observed carefully were made, she only mouthed one thing:

"Black wins."

Thus the tinted bird would fall from the sky. It's trajectory seemingly vertical, she began to move herself in order to catch it. Due to the speed, the descent changed somewhat and her body angled accordingly. It'd hit a tree branch before sprawling down further. Jumping off the tree trunk; she'd grasp the bird. As for the victor; it simply sailed off...it was free, just like the older Akumu she traveled with. The look of freedom was easily expressed in one's body langauge. Each stride that Shingai took, it emmited power, victory. Though it could also show that he was insane, truly free from the mental grasps which the mind monitored. For some, chaos is the only path of freedom. For others; such as the bird she carried within her arms; death was the only freedom.

The question remained now, as they passed through Tanzaku's gates; which freedom would the former Mist Ninja have? The questioned lingered within her mind but her optics had perceived something new. It came in the form of two boy's sparring in the distance. Curiosisty seemed to get the better of her; thus she hastened her steps. She wanted to observe another fight, one between humans in order to gauge how well her newfound perception was. A rare treat came now in the form of Academy students. Yes, these two were practicing basic ninjutsu, genjutsu, and taijutsu respectively. One boy whom was a brunette started off the spar by performing the bunshin no jutsu. She began to watch carefully for these were techniques she herself did not know.

Her eyes upon the creation of the bunshin instantly pierced through it, determining the clone to be nothing more than genjutsu. While the other boy had charged ahead, aiming to make a well calculated spinning heel kick. The first kick she realized was a feint, the second one was the real deal and sent the brunette flying. However just as he was hit, the quick handseal was caught and sure enough the target was in fact a log. Unfortunately the fight ceased there, a carpenter whom had cut the logs for use in his craft came and yelled at the two boys. It resulted in them running off, their spar would have to be delayed momentarily.

Oh well, at least she could enjoy the sights for now.
