Standing amongst his homeland's misty area, he reached behind him and brought out the Tokihaga once more. The blade glistening in the moon's light piercing through the thick mist that hovered amongst the village grounds. Such fluidity it was as he brought the blade down and would begin to do something that those with regular katana's wouldn't be able to do. That was simply allowing his sword to become one with him or more so an extension of one's self. The issue of this training would be to focus on gathering chakra amongst his blade...The Uchiha would do so with rather no distractions.

Holding the pommel of his hiltless blade the Uchiha would begin to focus his chakra throughout the blade making it recognize his chakra. The chakra from the Uchiha's tenketsu's would begin to open up and flourish into the very palm of his hand. The way the chakra flowed from his right hand down into the pommel of the blade as he would gaze at the blade activating his Sharingan to see the flow of chakra fulfilling it's objective. Such a prestigious way it seemed as the Uchiha's at the temple would look at him with a new found gaze.

The Tokihaga, the artifact, the legendary weaponry would begin to glow with blue hue. Watching the shimmering of the chakra embedded blade begin to illuminate such beauty would leave the Uchiha in awe. Watching as he would begin to pour even more chakra, the blade would soon come to know it's master. That master was none other than Uchiha Shin. The prized Uchiha and White Knight of Kirigakure who surpassed all tests that was given in his trial for the legendary blade.

The Tokihaga seemed like a masterpiece that would only come around every two or three thousand years. He remembered though there was one who came before him not too long ago to obtain this blade. That would make Shin think about seeking this one out, but amongst the area he would feel his chakra pulsing throughout the blade as he would hold it up noticing how the chakra would go throughout it. Such grace and fluidity, but he knew in order to use certain techniques he would have to put more in it. Applying more chakra was what he did and the blade would begin to glow even brighter to a point of where one must shield their eyes.

Utilizing the art of chakra absorption and reversing the effects was his way of doing so. With that technique he would create a reverse version of it as the vacuum would come out from his hands and onto his blade. So true to the countermeasures of the technique. Holding the Tokihaga with such greatness Shin would begin to chuckle. Now he would begin to make a few steps forth with the now shimmering blade of the Uchihas.

The Uchiha's third part of his training to gain a better understanding of the blade would begin to come in handy. He felt that he would need to learn how to improve the cutting ability of the blade. Though he knew that it would require great chakra control and the ability to imbue the blade with raition element. Being as the Uchiha's ability to hold five elemental affinities was something most of them couldn't believe. Thinking closely the one known as Shin would continue to expand his knowledge of the blade's ability and would begin to soon try and harness the blade unlike no other.

Positioning the blade very well within his grasp the blade would begin to be swung towards what seemed to be a dummy made for sword training. Though the Uchiha's swing was full of momentum, it would find itself stopping amongst the substance of the structure in itself. That would be what the reason was behind this blade, to make its cutting ability to be even sharper than some swords of legend. Within the positioning of his blade, he would begin to make his way around the edge of the thing...gathering his blade even more he would then step forth, applying some chakra though his blade fell short once again.

It would seem he wasn't quickly applying the raiton element to the blade itself, but rather lashing his chakra out at the last second. Perhaps a good move in a one on one battle with a blade that would merely be made of pure chakra, but it wasn't the case here. The Uchiha would have to sit and begin to find the true answers to the proper way of wielding this blade. Surprised that the man himself didn't even offer to give Shin some advice on mastering this blade, but the Uchiha had his reasons to learn by himself. It would push him to get stronger and master every single bit of this technique to show the growth of the one known as Uchiha Shin. The Prized Uchiha and soon to be heir of the Temple at least at the alarming rate he was improving.

This time he would begin to realize the essentials and reasons behind placing the blade under the raiton elemental affinity effect. It would grant the blade more sharpness and would be able to cut one's enemy in half leaving his body left for the anbu to find or so on. It was a very strategic technique, but could come in handy when clashing with another's blade. The sight of watching the raiton being imbued on the blade would once again come to force. The Uchiha's blade beginning crackle a little with the mere effects of the raiton upon it.

Within the time of applying his chakra and inverting it to the Elemental of Lightning he would bring the blade around his body, and throw his body behind the blade. Crashing against the wooden body that he was testing his blade out the blade would begin to glow blue and slowly seep throw it and the one beside. The Uchiha was astonished at the sheer power of the blade, nothing like this had been seen in such along time. The blade would find itself coming through the second blade and would spin around on his right foot pivoting and bringing the blade home in it's sheathe.

Raging Current
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to send shock waves through the weapon.
Special: Shocking value is determined by a correlation of the jutsu’s rank and the player’s difficulty class. If the victim’s difficulty class is the same as the jutsu’s rank, the victim will be paralyzed for one post, and suffer a slight speed lost for the next. If the victim’s class is one above the rank, they will be paralyzed for one post, without speed loss. If the victim is two ranks above the jutsu’s rank, they merely suffer speed loss for one turn. For every rank the victim’s class is under the jutsu, an extra paralyzing turn is added. Speed loss is always half, regardless of rank. Chakra drain is the same as ‘Chakra Absorption’ technique.
Drawback: Items and surfaces that don’t conduct electricity will not be affected. Takes a single turn to charge.
Description: Whenever the victim comes in any form of contact with the sword, a steady chakra connection is made, and his chakra is slowly drained. Additionally, any metallic item, or item that can conduct lightning that comes in contact with the blade will received an immediate shock. Extensive parrying against Tokihaga will leave the opponent drained of chakra, a product of the blade's curse scripted on its side.

Performing such a task would begin to fill the Uchiha with the greed to continue towards gaining more power. Nothing would stop the Prized One's growth as he was well on his way to getting stronger. Eyes would lock on a few bandits that had somehow made their way within the village and was harassing a little girl in a nearby alley. Quickly springing to action as one known as the White Knight of Kirigakure leaped about the rooftops and made his way towards the girl's yell...that was when he heard a loud thud echo throughout the alleyway. Speeding his haste with the Tokihaga out of it's sheathe and in the ready position he would prepare to execute the blade's finest power.

The Power of the Uchiha would awaken amongst this night and those bandits would feel the pure wrath of this shinobi. It was indeed a grand challenge and the one known as Shin wouldn't waste no time in issuing out what would be known as judgement on these bandits. Gripping the blade with such a confirming grip his body would seemingly drop in front of the girl as the bandits began to move back in shock. Such a glow in his eyes would show he was not in a joking manner...gazing at her face he would notice a bruise beginning to come into view. That was indeed the last straw now the bandits would have wrath fall upon them. That instinct was now awakened!!!!

Gripping the Tokihaga very strongly he would begin to pour his chakra throughout the blade itself. Adding on the supplemental element of Raiton to help the blade and it's abilities. Combining all knowledge that was needed to wield such a weapon, the Uchiha would swing it out towards the first of muggers. He would jump out the way, but the keyword in that phrase was 'would'. The Uchiha was two to three steps ahead of his opponent bringing the blade down amongst the man's sternum in a horizontal slash, as the blood would trickle down the blade and a steady shock would be issued to the man's wounds.

Watching him spaz out in front of the little girl, Shin would continue the onslaught and possibly introducing the kid to what seemed to be the remnants of Bloody Mist Village that the residents of the village tried to forget. Spinning about on his right foot, the blade followed as did his body. Such a distinct style he used when fighting alongside his blade as his blade would come in contact with another's, but too bad this man wasn't aware of this blade's prestige. Slowly slicing throughout his own blade and cutting through it like pure butter he would find himself reeling in pain and shock from the Raiton that was imbued. The blade's vibrant glow continued to stay upon the blade itself as he noticed the last one slowly trying to make his escape.

Gazing down at the one female that lingered around him in shock and fear he gave her a comforting smile before vanishing with one swift flicker. Placing himself within the perfect position to strike down his opponent. The blade begin to dig deep within the neck of this criminal as the blade began to emit it's shock of electricity throughout the very system of this man...possibly causing his brain to fry in the process. The body would fall helplessly towards the ground and the Uchiha's blade still glowing with that raiton would begin to slowly die out in which he would sling the blood off of his blade. The girl would come out of the alley and smile at him while taking her leave.

Gripping the blade firmly as he placed it within it's rightful home the sheathe along his back. The Uchiha would then begin to slowly go through what he would need in order to execute the blinding spark technique. It was something most didn't even know of, but a very powerful jutsu. Amongst this blade he could actually do so much with it. Such grace and fluidity was something that was known for those of the Uchiha heritage. Perhaps, it was none other than the rather large pool of chakra that the Uchiha's had in their reserves. After all this bloodline was considered to be a curse as well as a true blessing, but ultimately it was up to one who held the Kekkei Genkai to come to his answer rather than feed off of others.

The unrivaled nature of his hunger to get stronger was admirable, but it could also prove to be a big issue in the near future. Kirigakure's White Knight was really a mere boy who had grown into adulthood and made his own path. Set it in stone and been upon it since he begun around these parts. There was one thing that most ahead of him hadn't even think of gaining a blade as legendary as this or so it seemed. Few would venture out in the world for something of this great tradition, but Shin would definitely place mastery first in his hands. That other shin obi that had gained the blade would surely be met one day. The two would discuss such things and would possibly head out throughout the land and train with one another furthering their strengths.

Shin was gripping his blade firmly gazing forth with no reaction towards the ongoing mist that shrouded the village of Kirigakure. Ripping the blade forth in a wide arcing swipe that was so quick, and applying the ration within those mere seconds it took to swing his blade. The sword would glow brightly as a ray of light would flash about the area blinding all that was within the vicinity except the one who wielded the legendary blade. The blade’s raiton ability came into play as a spark that was wide enough within the stated increments of a five meter radius would blind any and all members who were amongst him during his training. Such a fluid motion, but the Uchiha knew that in order to handle such a blade it would only need to get stronger. That was something he was willing to attempt at any cost in order to further the cause of Hinagiku and Kouketsu.

Kirigakure would be shaken and stirred from the blinding spark or so those that was nearby. Perhaps, the Uchiha should truly train amongst the Uchiha Temple. That was something he wasn’t too sure about as the ones within that very temple would charge money from the Uchiha. Spinning amongst his heel the one who was now overseeing the continuation of the Uchiha’s rebirth would quickly grasp his blade’s hilt once more and would bring it downward towards the ground with a swift action. Leaving nothing, but blinding light to erupt from the blade’s kissaki that it would begin to cover the ground faster than anyone, realizing it’s limits at merely five meters. The Sharingan holder wasn’t too thrill on the matter, but nonetheless the blade had a very interesting way to switch the advantage over to his favor.

Within the time his blade would return to his side once more the Uchiha began to contemplate on wielding the blade in a rather different way. The Uchihagatana mode would be his next step within the usage of the Tokihaga. Such a powerful blade it was indeed, but there was talks of weapons that would rival it's strength. Perhaps a test would be ran someday within that notion the Uchiha would then grip his blade tightly and begin to condense chakra slowly within the blade building it up to a point unlike no other.

Holding the blade within his hand he would point towards a single building beside him and begin to apply the Raiton ability to make his blade launch forward. Extending it's already decent size towards the wall. The wall would meet it's maker as the blade would find itself lodging into the nearest wall. The Genin's eyebrow would quirk up in surprise at what this powerful weapon could do. Astounding as most would call it, but the blade would return to it's original form. Smiling at the display of power within this legacy the Uchiha would have to hone it even more effectively next.

Formidable adversary was indeed something that hadn't crossed the path with the Uchiha, but it shown that his prowess with the blade alone was growing more and more by the minute. Spinning amongst his heel the Uchiha would bring the blade upwards and willing it to extend towards the sky. The tenketsus would flare open allowing his chakra to pour within it's very confinements. Doubling it's cutting ability the blade would be imbued with the Raiton element as well as he would bring it down towards the very grounds of Kirigakure.

The skill to wield a blade was remarkable whilst the Uchiha gazed throughout his onyx optics. He saw that indeed this was far more than any average sword. The katana he had before couldn't even compare to this one and it would stand toes above all. He didn't want to get rid of his baby though, but would merely find someone to utilize it instead. The search for that person would happen at a later date as the Uchiha would continue extending the blade around him willing it to do his bidding. The power to protect his clan and to continue pushing it forward. Chakra reserves was rather large enough to have it do what he wanted it to do and much more. Such power...

Upon figuring out the basics of most of his techniques now he would have to apply all he known into everything else from this point forward. Such glory between the Uchiha and his blade that it was presented to him and now all he would have to do is push himself even more once he would begin his training. Though seemingly he would feel that the fundamentals were essential to such a strong weapon that no matter how hard it may seem to master he would do so. That was the Uchiha's true answer to all things amongst this land of shinobi. Bring it on was things of the past, he found himself more so subtle than most and displayed it outside of himself.

The figures that were more important to the Uchiha was those that he would put his life on the line for. Those people being Hinagiku, Atsuhiro, Yoyosuke, Aclime, and the now deceased Kouketsu who was his protector amongst that fight. It pained the Uchiha to know that such things like that was how he lost his mentor. Pushing forth and disregarding that thought as it was merely in the past. The haunted Genin would keep his eyes locked forth to overcoming all obstacles.

The devotion he had was unrivaled with and would never be tampered with. The devotion of his people among the village of Kirigakure would always be upon his mind. He only hoped the others saw that as well, but surely they felt his presence amongst the rest of the many Genin in the village. At some point he had planned to assemble a true team and help them gain the proper power as well as lead them to the Chuunin Exams. That didn't matter to this one though, a rank was merely a rank and that was all there was to it.

Holding what was now the beginning of a true legacy that would begin to pill forth from it's ever long shadow. The curtain would raise as the blade would find itself leaning downward towards the ground. Eying the blade with one of his dual optics, he began to channel his chakra throughout the blade. Watching as the blade would slowly begin to have a hue come forth from the channeling in itself. Watching it closely the stoic expression never leaving his face he would continue to work at it as best as he could.

That thought would begin to transpire into making the blade in itself light up brightly. Thinking upon it as his gaze was fixed on it's position and the blade as a whole. There was something about it that rose suspicion, but Shin wouldn't worry about it. There was no reason to question this fine piece of art that was bestowed upon him. He only sought out to merely master the blade and return to the hermit someday to display his skills with the Tokihaga. There was only one true way to get there and that was through extensive training just as he was doing so today.

The blade's began to feel the mere thought of gaining it's vibrant hue as it would begin to pulse. Feeling as the blade had gained life of it's own was a remarkable feeling in itself. Grip of the blade was tightened as the Uchiha would merely let out a small smile that escaped his usual stoic expression. Feeding the blade his chakra and raiton element it would then begin to shine as bright as the sun. Charged and ready to thrash anything that came in contact with him. The power of the blade alone was astounding and now the Uchiha knew of certain ways to truly utilize this sword. It would seem mastery was no toy with this one and he would continue to grow in that manner.

Given with grace and fluidity the Uchiha was ready to tune his skills more with the blade learning to be able to wield the blade with a vengeance. Spinning on his right heel the reinforced grip of the Tokihaga that was being placed around it's hilt was proving that indeed he was continuing the training as the hermit wanted. The eyes would stare forth as if he had enemies amongst him and he would begin to make the movements without no hesitation. Quickly flipping backwards the Uchiha would have the blade in a even more assessable position as he brought the blade across horizontally in wide arcing swing. That would leave any opponent possibly missing the top side of his head especially if the properties were put forth.

Landing upon his feet as the brief stopping of that was mainly for him to launch himself forward again in a series of attacks. His elegance with this blade couldn't be described as he showed more than true potential with such a deadly weapon, but the way he danced with this blade it was seemingly becoming an extension of himself. That was the way of merely someone who sought out mastering the weapon as it was and you could see the determination set upon the face of the Uchiha...Shin was growing faster than any one had believed since his arrival here in Kirigakure.

The fight was being brought within himself of how badly he wanted to become the strongest Uchiha around. Perhaps, he would become one known as the lord of Uchihas and you could see the burning desire within him. With each and every swing he wouldn't give up and take a break. Letting his body feel what it would be like if he couldn't fight back, but that was purely a different story indeed. Stand down and fight that was something that Shin had on himself and his greed towards power would be fully implemented in each and every swing. It had to be precise and strong enough to cut through any defense which would be no problem with the cutting ability of the Tokihaga.

There was a very distinct way the Uchiha wielded his blade and that reason proved to be his way to put his body behind each swing. Giving him a advantage in applying a bit more force while exerting his given momentum in the blade to overpower all foes that stood ahead of him. Throwing his body behind his next swing while pivoting off of it and releasing Tokihaga outwards in a wide arcing swing with the usage of one arm. Shin would follow behind it, grasping the blade tightly snatching it out of it's wide swing and leaped forward bringing it down towards the ground. There was the simple potential that the small hermit saw within the Uchiha.

The Uchiha's sword was gripped tightly as his mind focused upon the blade as he mainly focused on his usage of the sword. Indeed, he was shooting the master the weight and size of the blade with each properly placed movement. In fact there was not much that would hold the Uchiha back from his skills with the said blade. Tokihaga was there for a shinobi to master with all pure skills as Shin was demonstrating now. Such tranquility and grace was what issued the awesomeness of his blade. There wasn't much that could compare to the swing that had just been formed by the Tokihaga and it's wielder.

Spinning about on his heels the blade would seemingly be issued as a more unique strand of movements that seemed to resemble that of a ripose, but more so a parry that would cross down amongst any blades that came towards him. The dance with the blade was as beautiful as watching a ballet on ice. The beauty of it all and those that seemed to cross his path would remember this blade and it's dangerous properties not it's destructive nature. Shin's brow now drenched with perspiration from his constant training that he had been enduring for the past couple of weeks.

Thrusting forth with the blade, his hand would move in a twisting motion that would no doubt erupt more pain from the body of a victim if it found one. Such fluidity would match a cat with his skills something of a vivid panther on the stalk of his preys and once found. Shin would envision this he saw his prize and struck out with a dashing strike that would leave the enemy bloodied and ready to be taken home. Or so it would seem if that vision was so true, the thought of piercing other enemies was his goal. Breathing become a bit sporadic it would show that he was not too fond of the others and that he would become friends with his entire village.

The duty of the White Knight was quite a tedious one, but with the knight's prized sword anything can happen. The Uchiha would never fall to his horse and forever be upon his stallion when they entered battle led by the primal hierarchy of instinct as he would swing his blade with such grace and fluidity that it would seemingly pierce the skies in itself. Something was different though, it would seem with the Sharingan Third Stage Tome activated the training was going by swiftly it would seem the training capabilities were a interesting thing indeed. Indeed this was his first training session with it, but he sure as hell enjoyed every bit of the using his Sharingan during this session.

Basic movements as well as glory within the Uchiha's very greatness of utilizing the Tokihaga to it's advantage. The passion that burned within him was ungodly compared to the others about him. His Figure was meant to bring despair towards others and maybe even instill fear with the way the Tokihaga had became a part of him as the blade cut through the air without a lack of fluidity. The horizon was on it's way towards the top, but nothing would stop the Uchiha from going down the path to become a great Shinobi. The edge in life wasn't all about the grand weapon that he carried, but note of how well one could wield as well as utilize all it's special capabilities. Something Shin was bound to master within a short period of time. The movements of a god would grace the Kirigakure Genin’s swing of his blade as the arch was in perfect unison with his arm a mere extension of his body.

That was the sign of a true warrior beginning to arise on the horizon as his skills more so became a unison with his weapons. Anything that was within his parameter to wield he had begun to master and had now found the correct usage for each and every weapon. The gaze would be locked amongst the vapors that would move about the area as the Uchiha would constantly be working towards improving his growth. Such discipline and smartness that was well known about the Genin that stood amongst the Mist the future would be placed on his shoulders. The Tokihaga’s gleam within the light signaled a very precise swing that would level a opponent if they made a wrong move towards him. The skill from when he first arrived in Mist had drastically improved with his increase of knowledge amidst the Uchiha Temple.

Flipping back after the cut would seemingly lose it’s momentum, he landed as the blade was pointed downward and run forth towards his enemy. The eyes piercing through the fog as they would begin to glare red with hatred and fury that signaled the hunger to defeat his enemies. Running forth with the traditional swing of one hand, that was accompanied by one more with a rather powerful and swift swing that would leave anyone decapitated in half. After the swing, he reversed the blade in his hand by transferring blade from his right hand to his left, bringing the blade with a fury that would possibly catch his enemy off guard causing them to lose their footing. Such fluidity within the blade itself that even those that saw Shin’s display of taijutsu would know that he that skilled in the art, but more so within the Ninjutsu and Genjutsu realm as most Uchiha’s were.

Perspiration appearing amongst the brow of the fabled Uchiha, but none the less greatness would pour from him like a shining aura only bestowed upon him by the Gods of Tsukiyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanno. The proven gods of the Uchiha there stood Shin within the light and with the prize flowing through his movements. Something most who had caught the Uchiha during his training caught simply a small glimpse of such a level of skill would die for. That was so well thought out with each and every move that Shin began to drop towards the flow as a quick slash that would down his foes towards the ground. Jumping rather fastly back up towards his feet, he would look out over the horizon and notice that he would need to get some worthy challengers, before not only him, but his blade asks for more of a challenge.

[--Arata]

[??.60]

Tis was the beginning and far from the ending of a challenge that had been laid about the Uchiha. Moving about with fluidity and grace that was interestingly enough as the Uchiha would take to the skies. Moving about with such speed that most couldn’t even fathom the reigns of the Uchiha and his skills. Flowing with no difference to weigh against his mobility he would land forth in front of the others with his blade’s grip tightened and his eyes locked on his opponents. Spewing forth with nothing, but a raging fury there was a slight wisp that was heard as the blade would find the arm of a bandit lurking around the corner. Was these people at it again, trying to rob the village hidden in mist?

The return of bloody mist began to get more common with each day as the Uchiha’s blade would definitely crush this man’s hope. Forcing the White Knight of Kirigakure to stand forth and smite those that dare try his beloved country that was left under his watchful eye. That was what Shin’s mission was that the beloved mother figure known as Hinagiku had left behind to him to watch out for. This was his bread and butter, simply the mastery of this sword would show the power and so forth. Forming what seemed to be a great affinity with the sword within his hand, the Uchiha would begin to move around the rather large group, blade held on tightly as he stalked forth towards the prey.

Turning the corner there was another waiting for the Uchiha to appear, so they were alerted a bit sooner bout his progress and their fallen comrades death. Neither it bothered Shin or affected his strategy though approaching this stealthily would have been a better choice. Regardless, he had sprung the trap, but it was merely done on purpose to lure them into a even bigger trap. Within the attack that was sprung on him, the Uchiha would parry the blade downward as a spark of light would ignite off of the Tokihaga’s blade as the Uchiha, brought his foot up.

Placing it squarely in the face of the sword wielding bandit sending him sprawling backwards as a small amount of blood became visible from the kick alone as remnants of crimson liquid would grace the very air around him. Giving meaning to “Bloody Mist”. The shimmering blade would find it's crimson match as it would began to feel the blood from his nose slowly dripping onto the blade, shaking it off the Uchiha's Sharingan would blaze with fury once more as he turned around and met the opponent behind him, with a resounding 'Clang' that echoed throughout Kirigakure. There stood the Uchiha at a stand still with the other opponent, perhaps he who holds the Uchiha still may win or not.

Moving with the opponents that had began to swarm around him, they noticed the Uchiha’s glare and quickly tried to avert their eyes amongst his feet. Though would that really help them against such a highly skilled foe that was quicker than they had anticipated. Movements would be a past tense for him as he sprung in motion with his katana heading straight in for heart puncturing stab, that seemed to be a bit too obvious and reckless maneuver within the predicament he was in. Swiveling within the bounds of several attempts at stabbing the Uchiha, Shin’s placement was well above the other’s as he would launch himself in a high arcing backwards flip as a after image was all that was left for them to react to.

One of the bandits swiftly catching on had their sword too low though not enough time for them to save one’s life. The blade came rushing towards his opponents head as the Uchiha knew that his swing was a bit faster than the bandit’s as he was too hesitant on using his blade. That would leave the man with a rather large gash amongst his forehead that would soon be realized as a fatal strike that left his opponent out cold and slowly giving into the shadowy figure in his mind that was taking him to the after life. There was no way such a being could be living that would be what one would say after this dangerous display of skill by the Uchiha.

Of course there were so many that didn’t believe in the Uchiha’s skills to do anything at the moment. Moving about the area the Uchiha’s eyes were locked on all the most potent threats, though if it wasn’t for the sudden change in the way the air around him felt, he would been a dead man from behind. Luckily his sword was thrust backward behind his head, in a overhead fashion which in that split second left his body open for a strike, that was if they bandit ninjas would strike. Undetermined that they would even think that, the Uchiha continued the war with the one behind him, but just as he was about to prepare his counter the Uchiha’s blade would take on it’s lightning properties slowly slicing through the opponents, to come down on the kunai lunging bandit in front of him, downing him with relative ease.

The Crimson gush of blood that came towards the sky mixing within the vapors of the mist would surely give the village its old name. Though the massacre at least that was what would happen if these bandits continued trying to defeat the Uchiha would call it. More so a Genocide of all bandits within Kirigakure as they would soon find out as long as the one known as Shin Uchiha roam the village there was no way they could hope to ever succeed in their true goal. At every chance they have had, Shin had been their foiling their plans as he foiled this man’s chance to live with a well placed blade splitting his head in half, and placing his foot amongst his shoulders prying the blade out of his cranium, while applying the lighting properties as well.

There the Uchiha had awaited the final confrontation so that he could eradicate this little bandit scheme that was plaguing his village. There was a time and a place to settle this, but Shin would surely consider that time being now as he felt a evil foreboding presence approaching from the northern end. His eyes locked upon his targets as his blade seemed to be enjoying the very passion of destroying all that came across him. Though this was for the sake of the Uchiha, though few rarely saw it as that and this would prove to be against him at times. That Uchiha was something else and Shin was one of the few that truly used his abilities to master everything he could so that he could be more effective in larger scheme battles against greater foes. This was now placing that training into a mere trial before his Scarlet hues.

This was when the Uchiha Shin had found the words ranging loudly from the little riddle that the sage had asked him about. The long heard riddle of the King and his horse, but upon this stallion that he rode was a being that was born with unbridled strength and determination. With that said, he would step forth towards the next two that revealed themselves, seemingly they pulled out katana, but these were no normal katanas. That was then the Uchiha’s raven tresses would seemingly drop over his face as if he was giving in….to his primal instinct. That instinct was simply to kill and kill destroying his opponent without a second thought. The blade reacted off of that impulse along as the Uchiha was within the first of the last two’s faces with his blade meeting another in a loud resounding sound.

Breaking from one another, as the two leapt backwards landing on their feet sliding along the ground, both once their respected skidding had came to a halt headed straight for another. Both seeking one another’s defeat, but which one had the urge of the other’s downfall the most. Spinning the blade amongst his hand as he came forth, the Uchiha began to wield his blade with a more underhanded grip as he brought the blade forth in a northwest slashing movement, while spinning the blade back into a over hand grip, the blinding spark would be seen coming forth towards the bandit. Allowing the Uchiha to retreat a bit and gain a better handling on his sword as his opponent seemed quite skilled as well.

The skills of a Genin of Kirigakure wasn’t quite as measurable as those of the upper echelon characters, but the Uchiha was far more advanced fighting style than any other. What to do was the question that popped into the Uchiha’s mind, but the strike was a obvious move within this fight though that was when it hit him. Gripping the blade even tighter the Uchiha simply dashed forth towards the others and jumped towards the air. The Uchiha’s mind was highly trained and with that said, he would point his blade town and began to willfully will it towards his opponent that couldn’t see for the time being. The blade seemingly piercing his body as the Uchiha landed amongst the ground and watched as the blade returned to it’s original size. One would remain the final boss of the last level.
