False Pretense[O]

[roko]

[OOC: I can't gauge the distance between us at this point accurately, so let's just be realistic about it. If you feel the need to contact the BM, go ahead.]

So it seemed that the mute-nin had continued to breath, having predicted the grayed ones movement successfully and then ducking to evade the fatal crush-- it wasn't going to be enough, though. The gray chuunin smirked as the child vanished but, just as he had, Yoshinori would mimic his lightning-fast movement with one of his own, reappearing four feet beside the boy with a lithe frame. Without a moments hesitation would he silently, but hastily, draw his weapon with his strong paw and in one fluid motion would he attempt to strike the boy diagonally (downward) across the chest-- more than a foot of the blade would be left remaining as it sought to cut the boy in twain.

!!!

Whether the blade connected or not had not mattered for he would swiftly re-sheath the steel masterpiece as soon as he finished his attack. His attention would then turn to his first opponent who had, at this point, appeared a ways off in his peripherals. His left arm, which hung limp besides his hip at this point, would ascend and be pulled back quickly, then, in another swift breath would he release a flaming saucer which spun wildly in the direction of the troublesome shinobi. The disks had borrowed from the flames which capered in the heart of Yoshinori, as well as the energy brought into his being by his powerful, yet refined, breaths and now sought to embed itself in the clothed thorax of his foe. The azure disk would, if it stuck, cut the boy for a moment but then, without warning, expand in a liquid fire-bomb in order to engulf the youth entirely, charring his body until it felt coarse at touch.

With a most-fatal distraction set, Yoshinori took a mere moment for himself, concentrating might throughout all his body as he dug into reservoirs of speed that he'd borrow from in hopes of ending the battle before more shinobi appeared from the woodwork. Then, in one movement, a vein bulged from his bare forehead, the sanguine liquid in his body pumping wildly; he felt renewed-- a second breath reinstalled vigor into his aging body.

irst Gate— Mûlâdhâra [Open/Initial]
Rank: "B" Rank [60]
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Initial Gate enables the user to push forth to 30%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .5 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 6 movements in total. (4 base movements + 2 movements for the ×.5)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Initial Gate expends 10% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Initial Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 20% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 90%.
Description: Located in the region between the genitals and the anus, the Inital Gate is the first of the Hachimontonkou. It's not rare for a shinobi who uses a good deal of taijutsu to know how to unlock this gate. This gate is usually broken in order to perform a needed devastating attack or for a temporary boost to get out of a sticky situation. However, keeping this gate unlocked for an extended period of time can put a lot of strain on the user's muscles.
The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.

"D" Rank Taijutsu have "C" Rank strength.

"C" Rank Taijutsu have "B" Rank strength.

"B" Rank Taijutsu have "A" Rank strength.

"A" Rank Taijutsu have "S" Rank strength.

"S" Rank Taijutsu gain an additional "D" rank's worth of power.


Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 540TP in Taijutsu techniques.

[Kuro]

Upon his arrival, the duo would both bolt in the same direction, though Taihaku saw this as a possible opening. Pulling the blade of the Tokihaga free from the sheath he'd still use the circle cut technique, but just as it began he'd launch his chakra through his right arm into the legendary blade. The chakra that had run through his blade in that spin would cause it two quickly extend an extra twenty meters at an almost untraceable speed. Despite not knowing the exact distance he assumed it was a single flicker of movement that they would use. As now the old man's back would be turned from the Uchiha's position. The blade would be seen from the peripheral vision though due to the genjutsu that was still active the attack would seem to be coming from the exact opposite side of the Old Man.

Upon finishing the spin he'd quickly sheath the blade as he prepared to launch the next step of his assault if need be. Unsure of how the Tokihaga's wrath would be tasted, he could only hope this was coming to an end soon. The games were getting old and far to dangerous for Taihaku's liking, he only hoped that the painter wouldn't suffer the same fate as the Old Man, though unsure. That blade would be long enough he doubted even a sunshin would get them clear of striking range...

Sharingan 3 Tomoe
Chakra Sight

Quick Strike 'D'
Circle Cut 'D'

Tokihaga Wielding
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Allows the use of the Tokihaga.
Special: Rank learned determines what rank of jutsu one can use for the rest of the sword’s attacks.
Drawback: Cannot learn any other jutsu, or use any of the sword’s jutsu until at least a single rank of this technique is learned.
Description: Through simple, repetitive use in combat, coupled with the addition of Raiton imbued within the blade, the user’s knowledge and control over the sword grows. In order to perform any form of jutsu that involves the weapon, this must be learned first.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist


Tokihaga Ownership
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Prevents other people from grabbing the sword while the user lives.
Special: Rank learned determines what players get shocked. If a player’s difficulty class is equal to the jutsu’s rank, they will be suffer a shock that makes their appendage feel as if it were burning, leaving it numb and making the attainment of the sword impossible. If the player’s difficulty class is under the jutsu’s rank, they will be paralyzed for a post. Users with classes over the jutsu rank will remain unaffected.
Drawback: Works only when the user is alive and with chakra still pumping in their system.
Description: If another attempts to touch any part of the sword, they will receive a bad shock until they let go. Perfect for preventing sword theft.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist, Tokihaga Wielding


Tokihaga Sharpness
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Improves the cutting properties of the Tokihaga.
Special: Rank learned determines what rank of sharpness can be learned. For each rank learned, a Tokihaga attack can pierce through barriers/attacks of the same rank.
Drawback: Requires appropriate 'Tokihaga Wielding' rank to be achieved.
Description: Through simple, repetitive use in combat, coupled with the addition of Raiton imbued within the blade, the user’s ability to make the Raiton’s cutting sharper improves.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist, Tokihaga Wielding.


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 draining rate is the same as the user's best ‘Chakra Absorption’ technique, without actually needing to activate the extra jutsu.
Drawback: Items and surfaces that don’t conduct electricity will not be affected.
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.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist, Tokihaga Wielding, Chakra Absorption Technique.

Vengeful Reach
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to attack distantly with their weapon.
Special: D – 5 meters; C – 10 meters; B – 20 meters; A – 40 meters; S – 50 meters.
Drawback: There are two modes to this. One can either sustain this for various turns, or simply use it in one turn. If used for a single turn, the blade's birthing is at its fastest, moving at speeds comparable to a Sound Bullet/Tai Master/Fast Acting Raiton Jutsu. However, once it attacks, it retracts soon after. If the user aims to maintain it for extra turns, the blade comes out a tad bit slower, though still fast, and can be held at the cost of an extra 'C' ranked jutsu per turn, regardless of base rank.
Description: When in Ninjato/Uchigatana mode, this allows an extended blade of condensed chakra and Raiton to protrude from the original metal. Its cutting properties remain the same, and its birthing occurs at fast speeds. This blade can extend wherever the user wills it, and can weight as light as a feather. However, to achieve these great lengths, some training is involved. A user's 'Tokihaga Sharpness' determines the lethality of this technique.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist, Tokihaga Wielding

[Kou]

The persistent outlaw that followed from Kou's keen peripherals became an eye opening experience. A momentary glance would also reveal that his ally began unsheathing his blade. Needless to say, the Li was in the midst of a high speed pursuit. He was fully aware of the fact that another confrontation was to occur once the shushin ceased itself. A gentle tug of the ribbon relinquished a katana of his own, as the object made a swift transition from spine to side. At that instance, the adversary brought with him a diagonal sword strike with power behind it most could not fathom. The Li made use of the still sheathed blade resting beside him. Contrasting the others with a defensive edge, rather than offensive, the sturdy case was raised level enough to meet and deflect the incoming murder attempt.

His opponent's strength was over-bearing, to say the least. The hastily constructed barrier had just narrowly saved him from death, yet could not fully stand the intruder's tyranny. The weapon's collided, with the attacker out-classing the artist and knocking him to the ground. Fortunate for him, while laying on the soil, his companion's Raiton strike passed over head, not likely to do the same for it's intended target. Even in such a compromising position, the painter's stomach began to weave familiar energy once more, preparing to unleash more ink techniques. The youth himself, clutched his katana and tried to regain his interrupted footing.

Was he getting sloppy or what?

Alrighty. I was called in here to give my assessment of the latest round since your main BM (Zets) isn't exactly available at this point in time, and since some of you have time restraints that make waiting a shit-load more strenuous. Needless to say, since this is not my thread to lead, Nobuo still has control over the final outcome should he come and counter it.

Kou, I applaud you for actually finding a way that could suffice as a counter to such an attack. It was a good idea I can't lie, and would have worked in most cases -- this, however, is not one. Because of what exactly happened in both of your posts, to accurately make a ruling I had to go into technicalities; both of your specialties, movements, logic etc etc. You have to take into account that Roko is countering your shunshin, so he'd arrive at your location around the same time as you - if not milliseconds later.

Unlike you, hes a Taijutsu master with an entire rank over you, granting him about... five more movements than you; thats a lot faster than you, especially in situations like this. To add onto that, hes also proficient in Kenjutsu which grants him even more speed and power for his strikes. If you add all those variables together, the end result would be him striking you down before your block came up to protect you. Basically:

SPOILER: Click to show

Taijutsu Master > Taijutsu Specialist.
13 movements > 8 movements.
A-rank > B-rank
Quick Strike Training (B) > nothing.

That kind of strike hitting you across your body = death. You're dead, simple and plain. PM me if you have something to say, I don't want this good fight to be clogged with OOC bull shit.

[roko]

All it had taken was one powerful swipe of the blade to slay the youth, his blood coating the terra beneath them, spraying a tad whilst Yoshinori hastily re-sheathed his weapon of choice. But the very moment he had taken his paw off from the leather-bound hilt of his blade his body would scream, sending out the action juice called 'adrenaline' all throughout in order to prepare him for what it had forewarned of a strike. From his peripherals could he see the "raging blue" preparing to strike but something was out of place: how could he be attempting to swing frontward but his body had warned him of an attack coming from a different direction? 'twas something that embedded doubt into the deepest pit of his belly, so he chose to play safe.

Being swifter in every aspect of the body (reflexes included) compared to his opponent he would have little trouble crafting a barrier of fire all around him, an azure flame masking both body and clothing as it sought to protect him from whatever harm had his opponent attempted to rain down upon him. The blade would collide--the portion extended by chakra--with the potent shield of capering flames and would not progress any further from there, his shield unfazed from the electric current that attempted to course through it; he would push the blunt of the blade far off with his coated forearm to create an opening. The attack used had, in fact, required the blunt of his blade to be used in order to perform it correctly, the side incapable of cutting into an individual, thus meaning that the skill used to refine the sharp end of the blade had been worthless at this point and would not shatter his defense.

. . .

There hadn't been time to play around anymore without the risk of scathing his thread of life; his opponent had an arsenal unfamiliar to Yoshinori, a repertoire of skills most unlike anything he had encountered in his half century of life; the Old man had no yearning to discover what other talents the blade had harbored. With this decided he'd take a mere moment (a fraction of a second, quite honestly, seeing how he has 15 movements) to prepare himself to tap into reservoirs of speed and strength unmatched by anything an average man could learn to tame. A vein would protrude at the top of his forehead as the blood would rush wildly in his body, whatever genjutsu had been cast upon him before now would be shattered like a stone tablet dropped upon the firm earth as he now moved on forward, unhindered by whatever borrowed magics the celestial beasts had woven upon him for the strain his muscles had begun to bear had transcended mortal understanding, the shear pain reeling him back into reality.

He would now race forward, faster than ever as his eyes remained resting on his adversary's chest, looking onto shoulders in case an unfamiliar twitch had begun. He would shunshin once carrying him 10 meters forward in the direction of his foe, then he would shunshin again for save measure, this time curving in an attempt to collide with the unarmed side of the Uchiha, the sheer force most likely forcing the youthful ninja to diminish the grip between his hand and weapon hilt. If this nearly untraceable tactic had been successful the kumo chuunin would be mortally burnt, the wild fires digging into his flesh and catching his wears aflame, while Yoshinori remained unharmed and ready to strike once more.

Kokoromanako (Mind's Eye)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: By fighting on and on, a user becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the user becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the User is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint

Hinote-tate no Jutsu (Shield of Fire)
Rank: "C", "B", "A", "S" [10+50+90=150]
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Creates a protective fire shield around the front of, or the whole body of, a user that can deflect attacks and explosions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinote-tate no Jutsu (Shield of Fire) depends on the strength of the technique. This technique subtracts the user's capability of movements by one. Does not work against ranged knock back attacks.
Description: This is a technique where the user can deflect attacks, as well as explosions from the user by creating a fire defense stronger then the oncoming attack. It is said the best way to disrupt or stop fire, one must create fire at another location so the two fires snuff each other out. This works in a similar concept. The user creates a protective shield of fire that surrounds the body of the user as an attack or explosion is shot to the user. When this happens, the fire comes forward and acts like a protective shield against on coming explosive attacks, shielding the user. When the user learns the technique at first, the user is able to shield themselves against "D" Rank attacks and explosive attacks. When the user learns the "B" Rank version, the user is able to shield themselves against "C" Rank attacks and explosive attacks. When the user learns the "A" rank version the user is able to shield themselves against "B" Rank attacks and explosive attacks. When the user learns the "S" Rank version, the user is able to shield themselves against "A" Rank attacks and explosive attacks.

We March to the Drums of the Damned as We Come!

Even with the famed and cursed eyes of the Uchiha. His sharingan was not fast enough to keep up with the flame weilding Old Man. His strike had been blocked by sheer force, despite the chakra absorbing lightning, seeing that answered the next five questions that would pop into his mind. 'How?' weakness. 'Can I win this?' no. 'Did I stand a chance?' hardly. 'How do I react?'v defend. 'What happens next?' honor and defeat. Though he knew to defend as the Tokihaga would instantly shoot back to casual length, his stance had been thrown off by the block. It mattered not, for he was too fast. Once again in his life he let his pride best him due to age. The quick flickers of movement would create a streak of flame, covering his body and knocking him backwards a good five meters the legendary Raging Blue would fly forth from his hand and land into the ground blade first.

We will Fight
or We will Fall
Till the Angels Save us All

Dropping to his back in almost complete shock, the flames quickly covering his ivory and crimson clothing, the sharingan eyes faded from pride to the black hue from which they arose. No longer a warrior with will to continue. He felt his chakra reaching the end of his limits along with the ovriding pain of the burning flames covering his body. A scream of pain would rush through lungs and vocal chords out into the surrounding air. All he could hope was the Old Man would make his death swift and honorable. He was truly imobilized and helpless. To be left within the hands of the enemy. If flames hadn't covered his face the tears would stream from his eyes as he realized all he had done would have gone to waste...

At the beginning the sound faith he now had in his victory had swung back and forth like a pendulum itself until it had, at this moment, stood frigid in place, sealing the fates of all who stood on this very battlefield. The lovely blade flew from his opponents hand, airborne as it soared through the skies with no earthly ties for a moment, but as it fell to the ground the Uchiha would follow after, falling idle as the flames consumed both he and his wears; decades of combat had led him to know what had just occurred, and with dignity would he walk over to his opponent, stopping right behind him.

He would draw his beautiful blade, the steel of this masterpiece releasing a lustful shrill as it traveled along side its sheath, its home. Raising it to the air he would pause to speak. "Thank you. I am Yoshinori." With the words spoken on a stalwart platform of respect would the blade rain down onto the neck of the youth, tearing the still air in the way asunder as it sought to sever his spinal cord, making his death swift and painless. It was clean, but at the same time it was filled with sorrow: his own ambition, the ambition to right his sons wrongful death, had brought an end to the lives of two Kumo shinobi, two youths whose abilities would had eventually surpassed his own-- 'twas a dark day for the world of shinobi, but it was a day that would end as he shook the blood off his sword, re-sheathing it skillfully there after.

------

Time passed as he dug into the earth with bare hands to erect a burial ground for his fallen foes as soon as he had stripped their frames of their earthly positions, aside from their clothing. With two respectful graves dug he'd place the bodies in dignifying positions before replacing the earth, mounds protruding from the once even ground. Their tales, much like their bodies, would most likely be forgotten by the rest of Kumogakure, but not by Yoshinori-- these two would forever live on his mind for they had come not to reap the fruits of victory, but to insure the safety of their home land. With the lost of their lives they would bring safety onto Kumogakure.

With a silent prayer he would leave and move on with the rest of his life, he himself unsure how many days, weeks, or hours that may had been. With this battle he hadn't taken lives, but a new understanding of loyalty that he could only hope would live on, even after his body returned to mother earth as all eventually would.

The user will wear it on either the left or right eye and press a small button on the side in order to activate the laser and refocus the lense. This will give the user extended vision like a telescope and find a target's range. This devise is best used on assassination missions, spying, or situations where distance and accuracy are critical factors.

[Name] Tokihaga (Raging Blue)
[Rank] A
[Type] Main Weaponry
[Effect] Through a direct link to the user’s chakra system and the human body’s natural electrical impulses, the sword grants its wielder several Raiton enhanced attacks.
[Special] Requires the Raiton release for wielding, as well as an active Sharingan. If Mastery in the element is achieved, the weapon’s powers are naturally increased, almost twofold. The higher the user’s difficulty class, the longer the sword’s effects remain in use.
[Drawback] Due to its direct link to the wielder’s chakra system, being weakened, severely injured or reaching fatigue due to chakra exertion results in the sword’s powers being inaccessible, rendering it nothing more than a simple blade.

[Description] Tokihaga is a legendary weapon revered in Kumo’s history books decades before a mysterious, great catastrophe had ravaged the lands. Appearing as a rare blade with innate Raiton power, it had been wielded by many experienced ninja until glory could befall them no more. While its originators were unmentioned, the blade at once point or another became widely popular amongst the shinobi world’s Uchiha Warlords. It’s unsure whether the blade was commonly produced or merely a rare amount existed. However, after time’s passing, and rumor’s of the one surviving blacksmith said to still be mysteriously alive and forging, it was confirmed that the weapon was intended by those possessing the Sharingan, as its various lightning based attacks could best be made destructive under the Copy Wheel Eye’s predictive powers. It is also rumored the great smith can be found dwelling somewhere in the Thunder Country, and that he will commission the blade only to those that can display the Sharingan.

To say the blade is enchanted is not entirely true. It appears to the eye as a short kodachi, the straight blade and lacking hilt kept strapped at the user’s back, and appearing to simply be a ‘last resort’ type of weapon. When 'inactive', its hilt is a snow white; however, when in the hands of the user, it'll shimmer a deep blue, a sign that the power of Raiton was now alive. It is crafted of the hardest metals known to man, able to withstand a thousand blows through a thousand years and never loose its sharpness. Additionally, some sort of shiki scribbled in small font across the blade of the hiltless Chokuto speaks of crying thunder. To the sages of times long past, it’d be an incantation unique to the blade’s user, tying the sword to their chakra system and effectively creating an open link. Although hard to understand, any adept Raiton user will quickly realize their release’s power is easily channeled through this weapon. After extensive training, the user also learns how to constantly keep a steady flow of Raiton chakra to the blade, allowing it to both cut through almost anything it touches, extend its size through pure chakra alone, and shock anything it strikes, as long as the object is conducive to lightning.

The blade itself is meant for a Sharingan user because of the chakra’s nature and its speed. Without the eye, one cannot pierce the foreign energies and properly understand it, making the weapon unwieldy and most of its powers inaccessible to members outside the Uchiha clan. Because the lightning that comes forth is so fast and hard to manipulate, the Sharingan’s natural talents effectively add reigns to the power, allowing it to be wielded properly. A higher Sharingan means a higher understanding of the techniques the sword grants. Additionally, the shiki itself is engraved into the weapon as it’s being forged by its only master, and it directly ties the user’s chakra system, meaning it is useless in the hands of another. If by any chance someone else were to fall upon the blade (and discover its true meaning), they can bring it back to the weapon smith to be “recalibrated”; it is rumored that while he commissions only for the Uchiha, someone displaying the sword as a prize of battle will be granted the weapon as their own.

[Limit] Must specialize in ninjutsu. Must know ‘Raiton’ release. Knowledge of the sword is extremely limited due to the fact its its ancient and as secret as MS to the Uchiha. However, tales of past Sharingan warriors sporting a glowing, blue sword and dispersing large amounts of chakra has been recorded in history; a careful RP discovering the secret will allow the user to be able to find the source, where they can attempt to gain favor from the creator; the weapon is available through a mysterious weapon smith wandering the Thunder Country. Once accepted, either I or a GM/staffer will set-up your initiation, which consists of completing one ‘S’ ranked Death-Enabled task for them, either in the form of a mission, event or test. He accepts commissions only from Uchiha members, and will require a sample of the Sharingan before the sword’s creation. The master makes exceptions however for those that bring the sword of a previous owner to him, and can in fact be wielded by Raiton masters, or members of clans/BL's prone to Raiton. In order to search for the Master in an effort to try and obtain the sword, you must obtain permission from Fina.
[Cost] 50,000 for creation | 100,000 for recalibration

So this is how the once famed White Wind of Iwagakure would come to his end. Lit a blaze by a swordsman of foreign descent. The man would stand above him as life slowly faded from the once strong black eyes. The man gave his thanks as he raised his blade to end the pain of Taihaku. The swift swing and it all would reach the untimely end.

'Old Man... I'm coming home...'

As the spirit would fade to a life beyond that of death, an awakening of souls. The man no longer, but the Spirit of Taihaku would rise up into the light, seeing the face of the Old Man's mask, the sensei from his life before Kumogakure whom had met his end with pride as well. Two shinobi, a pupil and master, reunited in death as a final answer to those whom had witnessed it all unfold. Realizing that fate itself had intervened he could only grin as he would respect the man.. Yoshinira, whom had fought bravely against the odds only to shine brighter than those whom oppossed him. Realizing it was all meant to be at this point, he wouldn't fight his fate, to die at a man of superior skill. Not to forget, but the man whom had honored the two even after their spirits had faded from the realm of the living.

That grin became a smile of sincerity...

'Thank you,'

Dead.

"Are you sure he was here?" Shiki murmured to the lion at her feet. Shishi growled low in his throat in confirmation. The old man had been here. The little kunoichi walked lightly through what she assumed had recently been a battlefield, her steps hesitant, contrary to her usual impatience. Then she noticed the graves, and a small, sad smile crossed her countenance.

"Oh, Yoshinori..." The girl murmured, Shishi collapsing into the grass as his mistress bent over the freshly turned earth.
"It seems that since the moment we were seperated, i've been destined to chase your footsteps... I'm a Chuunin now, you know? Just like you. I was Amekage too, for a while... Just like you. And i got into a fight, just like you always seemed to do." Shiki said, her voice low and shaking, a rare show of fragility from the boisterous kunoichi.

She stood up, flicking her hair back in a comfortingly familiar gesture.
"Perhaps it's time i stopped following you. You grew into the man you are without following anyone, striking out on your own all the time... I can do the same, right?" It was as if she were speaking to the old man himself, although it had been a long time since she'd last laid eyes on him. Rumours had reached her of his being in the village during her chaotic period as Amekage, terrible rumours of dear Hiroko and of tragedy.

Maybe it really was time to change. Shiki didn't know what awaited her, nor whether she'd see her dear friend again, but perhaps those things weren't as important as they had always seemed. Perhaps, she could be strong enough on her own?

"I promise i'll do my best. For both of us." And with that, Shiki performed a single handseal, and a scattering of daisies grew atop each of the graves. Smiling slightly, she turned and walked away, never once looking back.
