As Whise finished up the sealing of the bird into his scroll, it seemed like the entire area had darkened. Had a dark cloud covered the sun? The sun was supposed to be rising so a cloud really shouldn't be covering it. It was also a pretty quick flash so that would be to fast for a cloud. Whise poked his head out of the building towards the sky

The only thing in the sky was a lone bird circling far above the area. It didn't seem to be planning on descending any time soon, at least as far as could be discerned by Whise. Almost as if to tickle his paranoia, a light breeze picked up in the area while he was looking. While nowhere near the intensity of the gusts generated by the creature he had just killed, it almost seemed like the timing was a bit too convenient to just be a coincidence. Had the bird mafia put out a hit on him so soon?

Whise saw a learn bird circling high above. Like it was watching the area below. It was so high he couldn't accurately judge its size. Would he be able to sneak past it? Whise leaped down the building to the ground. He tried to stay near the walls to stay hidden. But then he reached a point where he would have to reveal himself. So he said screw it and walked out pretending to not see the bird.

Such daring! Such finesse! As Whise stepped out directly into the bird's line of sight, immediately spotted him. The circling didn't cease, though. In fact, it seemed not to react at all. If he could bear to let this one avian escape with its life, he would be free to go.

Whise noticed the bird wasn't heading towards him, was it looking for something else? It might have been looking for the bird he killed. He needed to get this one as well. He formed a couple seals as the wind in the area picked up. Out of nothingness a great giant size falcon appeared. It screeched loudly as it flapped its wings, Whise place a explosive tag on the wind falcon as it took off into the sky. It headed straight towards the bird. It seemed Whise wasn't going to back down. The bird can only be dispersed by a chakra amount equal to its level. Meaning that physical attack would have no effect on the S rank falcon. So unless this bird has some chakra with ninjutsu. It would be unable to counter.

Up and up the wind bird would rise toward the real bird in the sky, past the point where most normal birds would stop flying. Eventually the air-based avian's silhouette would become smaller than the bird it was approaching, but only after several more seconds passed would the beast above begin to react. Its circling would expand in radius, then end entirely as it started flying toward the northeast, its silhouette growing ever smaller.

Noctis saw that the bird was running, what the hell was that? Whise wouldn't let this thing just go. He pulled out his kage scroll and used the unsealing technique. With a large pop the baby eagles dead and bloodied body lay. Hopefully it would look at him one more time as he place his foot on the dead eagles throat and stood there. If seeing its dead offspring wasn't gonna get it to come back then nothing would.

The bird continued to fly away, seemingly not moved at all by the sight of its fallen child. Whether simply unmoved by the sight of its dead child or not willing to risk going back, the bird's response showed that strategy wouldn't work. The bird's retreating back eventually disappeared behind a cloud.

Whise let out a audible sound of displeasure as the bird escaped. He wouldn't be able to pursue this time. But one day, he will find you and he will kill you. Whise sealed the dead bird back up and was about to exit when he heard someone nearby. In a dark alley way heading back to the City he noticed a figure. He beckoned to Whise with a wave. He was cautious as he walked towards the figure."The merchant sends his regards." Whise realized it was another clone who had henged. Whise entered the dark alley way. The clone wrote a message on his hand for Whise. Whise then nodded after reading. It seemed the original didn't find any relevant information on the Yakuza boss. Whise nodded as the clone dispersed himself. Still within the dark alleyway Whise henged himself into a young dirty looking kid. One that fit in around here. Before he left he had to think of what to do with the bird. He could probably head to takumi and find someone there that knew what it was worth. And with that train of thought he headed out to find a job.

Houou stood before the massive elder tree that he decided to practice his formless style on. Placing a proper level of bandaging around his knuckles he was prepared for a gruesome training. He took his stance, arms up in a traditional south paw kickboxing form. [1] Getting a feel for the distance, Houou started by throwing light punches at the tree. Next he would throw a kick with his rear left leg. Quickly switching his stance, he would kick with the rear right leg, before switching back to the southpaw stance. [1] Now that Houou had a warmup, it was time to start the heavy hitting. He would start a simple drill, jab with his leading right hand, straight punch with is following left hand, then he would dip into a ducking movement to his left while shifting his feet as well. With the image in his head, Houou executed the set of movements. [1] The tree had been so solid that Houou heard only his bones collide against wood. Immediately as he had taken a step around the tree, Houou squared up his fists and dipped his body low. He then gave two sweeping hook punches, right hand followed by the left. [1] Taking a small step back and shifting to his right leg, Houou gave a powerful high kick that reached his head. As his left shin bounced off the tree, it Houou returned it to the ground and instantly threw his right leg up for a kick. Houou a right leg was much weaker but just as flexible [1] Using the momentum of his upward kick, Houou would grab the tree with both arms and lift himself into the air. Once airborne, Houou threw two knees in rapid succession. Landing back on the ground Houou took an extremely wide wrestlers stance, arms spread wide. [1] In this stance Houou oils generate tons of force from his legs. Leaping at the tree, Houou speared the tree with is left shoulder, as if he were trying to tackle it to the ground. As the tree stopped him in his tracks, leapt backwards and repeated the attack on his right side. [1] Keeping the momentum going after the spear attacks, Houou took another leap back. Twisting his body and crossing his left leg over his right, planted his foot on the ground and whipped his right leg around, colliding it with the tree. As his body returned to its original fighting position, Houou repeated the kick with his left leg. [1] With his firsts raised to his Houou moved in closely to the tree. He was back to his upright southpaw stance. Houou then unleashed a flurry of elbow strikes from every angle. [1] Taking a gaping step backwards, Houou released a punch all in one swift motion. Once distance was created, Houou put the all of his momentum into a spinning back fist, off his right hand. Squaring back up, Houou unleashed a vicious spinning back fist from the opposite hand. [1] Houou was starting to ware himself out and he knew he had to expel all of his remaining energy on this training session. Abandoning his traditional stance, Houou began bouncing on he balls of his feet. Circling the tree, Houou began moving his feet faster, adding in quick head movements. [1] Jab after jab, Houou put his weight into every punch. Shaking the foundation of the tree, Houou was relentless. Fists knees and elbows, Houou threw everything at the tree until leaves began falling from the canopy. When his fists began to ache, Houou dropped to his knees from exhaustion. Breathing heavily, he know that his strength and energy were spent. [1]

Kaze had made his way from the bar to somewhere he could train in peace without harming anyone or anything.
[Pi Qua Quan]
Kaze had finally time to train, he had learned many techniques from traveling and memorized most of the ones he saw. This first tech was pretty simple. Kaze would close his eyes and picture his opponent, turning away from his imaginary opponent Kaze would then make a sharp on one foot while swinging his arms downwards and then spinning an aiming to strike his opponent. Kaze was physically moving while seeing things in his mind. [Post 1] Seiryu Kasho Rank: E :: Simple Description: A simple move done while facing away from the opponent, when the opponent is close. The user begins the move by starting a sharp turn on one foot while at the same time swinging their arms downward in front of them, using the momentum from the spin to bring their arms back up such that their hands strike the opponent typically below the chin making for a strong blow that is difficult to defend against. [Learned]
This time it was a simple stance, Kaze would crouch down with one leg bent and the other one slightly extended, with his arms wide and stretched, this stance was most helpful in fights for how easy it became to target any part of his opponents bodies. [Post 1] Bokuho Rank: E :: Simple Description: A basic stance that takes advantage of the user’s flexibility; the user crouches down with one leg bent, the other extended slightly. The arms are held out wide and outstretched. This allows for the user to be able to target any part of the opponent’s body, whether it be their head or their feet. Increases effective speed of any techniques from this Style or from the Soft Physical Formless Style slightly. Costs no Stamina to activate by itself, but consumes half the Stamina cost of the highest-ranked Taijutsu or Bukijutsu technique used every post. [Learned]
This time Kaze was remembering a movement that he could use for defensive and offensive ways. It was a basic downward movement of the hand, in a more defensive approach it could easily be used to block an incoming strike and on a more offensive stand point, it could be used as simple downward strike at his opponent. [Post 1] Pi Rank: X :: Simple Description: One of the simplest movements in the Pi Qua Quan school: the downward movement of the hand. The user either pulls or strikes the opponent in a downward motion, using the movement either to redirect or block an attack or, alternatively, to attack. This movement has a maximum rank equivalent to the user’s training in the Soft Physical Formless Style. When used to block or strike, it has the same effectiveness as a Hard Physical strike of the same rank. When followed up by Qua, the latter’s strength is increased by one descriptive rank per this technique's rank. [Learned]
[STAGE 1 complete]
For this Kaze didn't have the required weather but he would still make his own rough conditions. He would use the stance he had just learned moments ago but this time he would wrap himself with weights as heavy as he could lift and stand his ground with the stance, this would help him with endurance very much, something great for the battles to come. [Post 1] Basic Endurance Training Rank: D :: Training Description: The user practices holding any stances they know in the most extreme weather of their region, as far from anyone else as is practical. After completing practice, the Stamina costs of X-Rank techniques in this Style are reduced by 5, down to a minimum cost of 5. [Learned]
This Time Kaze had to once again picture himself fighting an invisible opponent and move his body accordingly with what was going on inside his mind. Kaze would catch an opponent's kick and grab the other foot and wrench them in a fast movement making his opponent fall to the ground, this wasn't a very damaging tech but it could be used as a combination to others to make it very devastating in one vs one scenario. [Post 1] Fukanro Rank: X :: Simple Description: Catching the opponents kick, the user holds it high while bending down low to quickly grab the opponent’s other foot, and in one swift movement they wrench the opponents other foot up high while pushing the first down low, the movement typically taking the opponent clear off the ground, causing them to spin in mid-air before collapsing on the ground. Though this counter is not particularly damaging, it can provide an opening for additional attacks, making it quite useful in the right hands. This movement has a maximum rank equivalent to the user’s training in the Soft Physical Formless Style. Has a one hundred percent success rate if the target’s training in the Soft Physical Formless Style does not surpass this technique’s rank. This technique’s rank is equal to the rank of the intercepted one. [Learned]
This strike was pretty much a high powered uppercut, Kaze would bend down slightly once again facing his imaginary opponent, he would then do a 360-degree spin and strike upwards aiming for his opponent, this was a powerful uppercut that he knew for sure could lift an enemy off the ground if he was stronger. [Post 1] Teishitsu-Jouhai-Sho Rank: X :: Simple Description: A move performed while the user is facing the enemy. Bending down slightly, the user executes a perfect 360 degree spin and strikes upwards as they do so, resulting in a powerful uppercut that, at higher levels, can easily lift an opponent off the ground. [Learned]
This was another attack that could be used for a defensive and offensive reason, this time it was an upwards strike since Kaze had recently done something similar he pretty much knew the basics of it and was very quick to catch on how such a technique like this would be useful in a battle. [Post 1] Qua Rank: X :: Simple Description: One of the most basic movements in the Pi Qua Quan school: the upward movement of the hand. The user either pulls or strikes the opponent in an upward motion, using the movement either to redirect or block an attack or, alternatively, to attack. This movement has a maximum rank equivalent to the user’s training in the Soft Physical Formless Style. When used to block or strike, it has the same effectiveness as a Hard Physical strike of the same rank. When used to lead into another technique, the next technique’s speed is increased mildly for each rank of this technique. [Learned]
[STAGE 2 complete]
This was another climate focused tech that Kaze didn't have the right requirements to master in here, luckily for him he had learned to meditate in many places as he travelled places to places so all he had to do was remember all the hardships that he had endured as he meditated here for some time, it was nothing that he was not used to at this point, meditation had become a habit of his. [Post 1] Extreme Climate Resistance Training Rank: C :: Training Description: The user spends a great deal of time completely immersed in the most intense weather the region has to offer. Following this training, the user does not suffer from adverse climate effects. Additionally, using one or more of the Pi, Qua, and Quan techniques in any combination increases the user's fortitude slightly for one post, to a max of one [1] descriptive rank per trained level in the Soft Physical Formless Style. [Learned]
This technique was pretty much a glorified block and counter attack. Kaze had to picture once again his imaginary opponent who was very much getting annoyed on all the beatings he was enduring right now, his opponent would try to hit Kaze with a strike from above which Kaze would then block by crossing his arms above his head and repulse his enemy back setting his opponent off guard and then quickly follow up with a kick to his opponents head which can be seen as a vital area, this could be very destructive against lesser prepared opponents. [Post 1] Kasui-Sho Rank: X :: Complex Description: When an opponent attempts to strike the user from above, the user slides the front leg forward while crossing their arms over their head to defend against the attack, then repulses the attack to set the opponent off balance and off guard. This is typically followed with a sharp kick to a vital area and can be devastating against ill-prepared opponents. Physical strikes following this gain two descriptive ranks in strength per this technique's rank. During this movement, the user’s block is capable of defending against same-rank strikes. [Learned]
[STAGE 3 complete]
This was another annoying endurance training tech, Kaze was starting to get very used to this at this point but it was annoying at best. Kaze once again would get into a stance where he could put weights all around his body and this time he would also meditate and put his body through the same stress it would get from all the harshest environments he had been to, this was bound to help him create, even more, endurance than he previously had. [Post 1] Advanced Endurance Training Rank: B :: Training Description: The user practices holding any stances they know in the most extreme weather of their region, as far from anyone else as is practical. After completing practice, the Stamina costs of techniques in this Style are reduced by half if the practitioner has used the same technique at some point in the last two posts. [Learned]
If Kaze remembered correctly this was a simple deceptive counter and one he would again need his imaginary friend enemy, Kaze would block his enemy's punch with both hands and then pull forward and turn, Kaze would now be behind his target still holding on to a twisted arm, Kaze would then lean forward and heavily shove with enough force that his opponent would hit the ground with a dislocated arm at minimum and broken at max. [Post 1] Tenshin-Bansa Rank: X :: Simple Description: A deceptively simple counter, in which the user catches the opponent’s punch with both hands, then pulls the opponent forward and turns such that they are behind the opponent, holding a twisted arm. The user then leans forward with a heavy shove, forcing the opponent to the ground while still holding onto their arm, typically resulting in the arm breaking, or being dislocated at least. Gains two descriptive ranks in strength per rank when interacting with Taijutsu and Bukijutsu reliant on the Hard Physical Formless Style. [Learned]
Trying to remember another movement that he had watched people use one last one came to find from this particular style, it was another destructive but simple counter technique. For the last time, Kaze would imagine his enemy in front of him coming in with a kick, Kaze would catch this kick and quickly counter with his own kick towards the groin then quickly stepping forward and go in with another kick towards his opponents other foot, this would leave his opponent on the ground ready to be finished off. As the imaginary battle happened inside his mind his body would physically follow all the movements just like he was sparring with a shadow. [Post 1] Koran Rank: B :: Simple Description: Another quite simple but powerful move. Quickly catching an opponent’s kick, the user immediately lashes out with a kick of their own to the opponent’s groin, and stepping forward as they do that, they finish it off with a kick to the opponents other foot, typically leaving them face down on the ground struggling to stand. The second strike automatically lands if the first does. If used on loose or unstable ground (i.e. sand, gravel, etc.), the opponent's next action consumes an extra activation. [Learned]
[STAGE 4 complete]
[Xinyi Liuhe Quan]
Kaze was about to learn a completely different style than what he was before, this time he wouldn't need an imaginary enemy, a tree would do it's work very well, all he needed was a unmoving target. This was a simple strike with an open palm, it was like in the shape of a paw which explained the tech's name, after doing that Kaze would simply hit the tree with a diagonal strike [Post 1] Shishi Ashi [ Lion Paw ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: An extremely basic striking technique. The user holds one hand in front of them with their palm opened and sideways. From here, they will simply execute a diagonal palm attack. Causes more pain than a normal strike, granting it a slight increase to strength per rank against unarmored targets. [learned]
This one was even more simple, it was basically a flurry of strikes, they were not even aimed at any particular place of the body so a tree would fine too. Kaze would simple strike at the tree with closed fists as fast as he could and as many times as he could. [Post 1] Tora no Kobushi [ Tiger Fists ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: A simple volley of fast fists aimed at no particular section of the enemy. Launches two punches, plus an additional punch every two ranks above E-Rank. [Learned]
Another glorified uppercut came into Kaze's mind, this one required a bit more precision, Kaze would crouch and then jump with an uppercut somehere that his target's chin would be, this surelly had enough power to lift someone into the air. [Post 1] Ryū Kiba [ Dragon Fang ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: From a crouched position, taking aim and precision, the user leaps up and sends an uppercut to the jaw of the target, lifting them high into the air. Disrupts concentration in physically weak opponents with a body rank at or below this technique's rank. [Learned]
This one once again required him to think of his imaginary enemy, Kaze would imagine that his enemy would come at him with a flurry of attacks, Kaze would think up ways to counter and block all the attacks he could think of with his body moving in unison with his mind attack after attack he would counter and blose even sometimes tripping his enemy up. [Post 1] Gurīndesutinī [ Crouching Tiger ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: A simple parry and trip/punch counterattack, in which the user can stop a sequence of Taijutsu or Bukijutsu attacks. Only successful when used at the rank of the parried attack or higher, and inflicts damage as a technique the rank of the parried technique. [Learned]
This technique was one that Kaze liked, it required power and a strong stance, Kaze would tighten his legs in place and tuck his arms to his sides and then he would jab forward with a swift finger jab, this was an interesting technique that could very well do some serious contained damage in a unsuspected target. [Post 1] Gaō Tetsushi [ Roaring Iron Finger ] Rank: X :: Simple Description: The user assumes a powerful stance, both legs tightened and slightly spread, both arms tucked to the side in fists. When the opportunity comes, the user will then thrust either hand's finger forward in a swift jab. This finger jab is strong enough to pierce the skin and cause serious contained injury- essentially like being stabbed by a short knife. Compatible with techniques that would enhance an ordinary knife's strike. [Learned]
[STAGE 1 complete]
Now Kaze would do his own thing, the one that was passed down though generations in his family, the ultimate techiniques, the strongest, the most fierce, meditating. First this was meditating for a cause and not for searching for peace or just resting, this had a purpose, strength and power. Kaze was to fucos on fire, the heat, the desctructive powers of it, the color, the cakling sounds it made as it destroyed lives and forests, it was a beautiful and yet scary thing, fire. [Post 1] Fire: Bursting [ Hou: Pao ] Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: The user must first train and meditate to understand the true essence of Fire. Bursting, exploding, dancing, never still, when the user applies this concept, it slightly increases the speed of the user's physical techniques per rank. This technique is utilized to enhance other techniques, including ones from other styles. Only one augmentation can be used per technique/combination per activation. [Learned]
Once again Kaze would stay sitting down and cleanse his mind, breathing in and out in unison with the world, this time he was to focus on earth, the strongest and most defensive of elements, solid, unmoving but yet alive. Kaze would focus on becoming strong and unmovable just like what earth was meant to be, firm but yet soft, the end to some but begging to other, that was what Kaze thought of such element. [Post 1] Earth: Crossing [ Tu: Heng ] Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: The user must first train and meditate to understand the true essence of Earth. Solid, firm, strong, yet active underneath, when the user applies this concept to a technique, they stand their ground while they increase their stability and defensive power, often stopping larger opponents and their techniques. If the technique cant be stopped, then it can be redirected, especially into the ground. While active, the user's fortitude is increase slightly per rank. This technique is utilized to enhance other techniques, including ones from other styles. Only one augmentation can be used per technique/combination per activation. [Learned]
Kaze still sitting down and meditating, this was what he was good at, interestingly enough this was the only time that his mind could be quiet, it was like the calm before the storm, the rainbow after the storm. This time he had to focus on metal, something even tougher than earth, changeable, sometimes even flexible, sharp, cold and deadly, many times the last thing someone would feel before the cold embraces of death took them from this beautiful world [Post 1] Metal: Splitting [ Jin: Pi ] Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: The user must first train and meditate to understand the true essence of Metal. Hard, decisive, sharp, when the user applies this concept to a technique, they slightly increase technique strength per rank. This technique is utilized to enhance other techniques, including ones from other styles. Only one augmentation can be used per technique/combination per activation. [Learned]
Kaze's mind was empty once more as he now changes his the element once more, this time he was focusing on water, ever changing, powerful, fluid water, damnation to many but life to many others, tranguil yet furious, mysterious but transparent, water was life to many things and that was Kaze focused on the most. [Post 1] Water: Drillng [ Shui: Zuan ] Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: The user must first train and meditate to understand the true essence of Water. Flowing, formless, yet soft, nothing is softer than water. When the user applies this concept to a technique, they increase the penetrating power of their techniques, allowing force, power, and damage to be transferred even through armor up to this technique's rank. This technique is utilized to enhance other techniques, including ones from other styles. Only one augmentation can be used per technique/combination per activation. [Learned]
This was the final stage of the meditation for Kaze befor he would head to meet with Roxas and his friend so they could go on their job, and for the final step of this Kaze would have to meditate focusing on wood, the ever growing, ever changing and rebellious wood, which gave life to plenty of things, it made dead places look beatiful, it always fought and stodd it's ground sin the harshests of places and most of the time won. Kaze would pick himself up and bow towards everything around him for they all ended up helping him grow stronger. [Post 1] Wood: Smothering [ Mu: Beng ] Rank: X :: Spiritual Description: The user must first train and meditate to understand the true essence of Wood. The greater the branches, the deeper and wider the roots. When the user applies this concept to a technique, they decrease the transition time between techniques during a combination (increasing the speed of the combination, but not the technique striking speed). Provides a slight increase to reflex per rank. This technique is utilized to enhance other techniques, including ones from other styles. Only one augmentation can be used per technique/combination per activation. [Learned]
[STAGE 1 complete]
Posted: Fri Oct 27, 2017 10:30 pm
It was time to get this job finished. Heading over to the river banks just from a distance it was obvious that some sort of commotion was going on so they were going to the right place. As the pair made their way over Atsuko made sure he'd lead to keep to the walls of the other buildings so they were out of sight until they were close enough to have visual on their targets. Sure enough once they came to the river bank it was an all out brawl, thugs in different colored clothing all beating each other with various weapons or even just their fists. It was at this point that the uchiha's sharingan flickered to life, it was go time.
Motioning her to follow he'd make a detour on the outskirts of the battle towards the large white warehouse, easily spotted by its crumbling roof. The details of it were done over once ore twice by Atsuko with his sharingan. From what he could tell it was unguarded....which of course was suspicious. The outside at least was, making it quite easy to get inside.
Once inside the weapons that Magnus had been talking about were quite easily spotted, it seemed actually that most of the items inside were either weaponry or other gang affiliated items. Unfortunately with weapons also came enemies. A lot of them. From how many Atsuko could count there were at least ten within sight with possibly many more hidden out of sight. As he was attempting to do recon however a kunai flew into the crate in front of him. It seemed they were expected.
Now stepping away from the crate Atsuko could see that the thugs were going towards them, with at least another five more coming out from the shadows that he hadn't been able to spot. Seeing chakra signatures would have been nice, but alas. "Whatever you do Tsu....try not to get burned" Atsuko said quietly to her as chakra gathered to his hands and black flames flickered to life. ((Incinerating Hail Technique Used)) Throwing his hand up to the sky from it a fountain of black flames would roar down around the pair, small fiery salvos crashing into the wooden crates and a few unfortunate thugs. Anywhere the flames touched was quick to spread across, including clothing. Those that had been struck shrieked in pain and attempted to put themselves out, the fire causing chaos within the warehouse. Chaos, and an opportunity to strike out at their opponents.
Off of his right arm more flames seemed to grow as he charged forward at the nearest thug. ((Ricochet C Rank Used)) The incoming metal pipe was dodged just by a hairs breath as Atsuko's attack finished activating ((Long Sword Technique Active)) and a black blade of fire enveloped his right arm. Using this arm he'd smash it into the thugs chest to send him flying backwards and forced to deal with flames. This of course invited the other thugs that were close by to charge him head on.
((Upkeep Long Sword Technique))The rest of the attacks that came in were more careful then before. Using his fire long sword any instruments that they swung would be nearly melted on impact or caught to flames if they risked using wood. All the while the flames of his other attack were growing larger and larger by the moment, it would force them to eventually abandon their fight against the pair of rogues.
((Pillar of Fire Technique))Atsuko would make his way out of the building, hopefully with Tsu in tow as the flames grew within. To put the icing on the cake Atsuko would gather up more chakra into his hand and place it to the ground. This would cause a pillar of black fire within the building to roar to the ceiling in the center. Any weapons inside were definitely lost at this point, utterly beyond retrieval. Panting slightly the uchiha knew they couldn't stop now, especially when they just lit a damn flare in front of a war. On the bright side he was half certain that he hadn't killed any of the thugs inside. Burned badly probably, but dead not necessarily.
Turning to the warring crowd it seemed the flames had increased the violence, blame being thrown at either side. Slapping his hands together he'd ((Activate Mercury Round)) and his fists would be coated in black flames. The young shinobi charged then head first into the crowd of thugs. Didn't matter what they were wearing or who they were fighting, strikes were thrown here and there as well as flames occasionally to spread the chaos. ((Formless B Rank + Upkeep )) Atsuko himself received nearly just as much punishment within the crowd. There was only so much he could avoid or block, which lead to a few kicks to the ribs, strikes to the back, etc.
When he felt physically and mentally finished enough within the crowd he'd flicker step out of it to the far side of the river and let out one flash of fire, signalling his partner it was time to leave. Hopefully once Tsu joined him the pair would flee the scene, leaving only chaos and fire behind. ________________________________________________________________ ◆￤ CHAKRAx 165 / 410x◆￤ STAMINAx 40 / 180x◆￤ RYOx 2650x◆￤ ACx 6500 ◆￤ TAMER / NINJUTSU x◆￤ D-RANK ROGUEx◆￤ SHISHINx◆￤ UCHIHA x◆￤ DRAGONxxxxx

It quickly became obvious that the two were headed in the right direction, given from the sounds of shouting, clashing of weapons, and cries of agony. It was nothing but a pure war zone up ahead. Tsubame followed dragon in the shadows, hugged closely to the wall of a nearby building. Gripping the hilt of her sword with her right hand, she hunched low and moved swiftly until they were able to get a view of the riverbanks. This is insane... what are they even fighting over? Tsu thought to herself as she spectated the brawl fest in front of her. Atusko was silent as ever, which was quite unusual given how talkative he usually is. She turned to see him--no, his eyes first. Those red demonic-looking eyes had replaced his pupils again, staring out into the crowd. A chill ran down her spine, and she averted her gaze back to the crowd before he was off. Those red eyes... was he possessed, or in a state of bloodlust now?
The young Samurai trailed behind her red-eyed companion, stealthily and swiftly moving along the outside of the battle straight to the large, white warehouse described by Magnus. Tsu took notice of the crumbling roof above it, the most distinctive trait, and no doubt Dragon was aware of that as well. Scanning the area surrounding the warehouse, it was eerily empty. Void of any life to be exact. Of course, with the war going on at the riverbank, it'd make sense that this place would be vacant. There are times when war calls for the entirety of the army on the battlefield. If the warehouse however, was the goal for the opposing gang... then why leave it unguarded? "Something's not right..." She'd mutter silently to Dragon, peering about once more to make sure she was seeing what she thought she was seeing. The entire outside of the warehouse was without a living soul to guard it. Entrance would be a breeze, but Tsu knew well to keep her guard up as the approached the entrance. Her steps were cautious, but quick enough to keep up with Dragon who was heading inside.
Inside the warehouse was dark, only being dimly lit by the natural lighting of the sky through the crumpled roof. It hindered Tsu's vision only slightly, though Dragon seem undeterred by this minor offset. His eyes glowed ominously in the dark area, making them even more menacing then they were before. There were quite a few weapon caches scattered upon the ground, filled to the brim with a variety of weapons. They were apparently planning on doing some serious damage to their enemies. This view didn't come without some challenge of one form or another. This challenge taking the form of ten men scattered among the weapon caches. With her hand still on her hilt, she moved beside Dragon now standing in front of a stockpile of weapons. The ten men hadn't detected them yet, but attempting to destroy the caches in their presence would definitely get their attention. Thump! A kunai lodged itself into the cache in front of the two, Tsu immediately looking up to the source, but being unable to see that far away due to the darkness. "Y'all got some big a** balls, waltzing up in'ere..." The ten men scattered about were already coming forward, and from the chuckling coming from behind, more were coming from their backs. Tsu quickly turned her back to Dragon, staying right behind him, with her stance widened, prepared at any moment to draw her sword. Nodding to his words, she'd feel the heat from the flames forming in his hands. "Don't worry about me. I'll cover your back..."
"Kill these fools."
As if on cue, the men charged in, and Dragon--very much, like a dragon--charge back with some impressive firepower. Tsu on the other hand, waited for her moment to strike. Five men were approaching her, with one of them being closer to her than the others, and wielding a knife. He seemed eager to attack, moving forward with his knife-wielding hand already drawn back for a strike. The moment he was within range, Tsu's sword hand whipped out, barely even a blur to those focus on her. A small sound of the hilt meeting the scabbard milliseconds after being drawn, followed by the sound of a scream, and a knife falling to the ground. The assaulting male's arm was sliced, deep enough only to disarm him, as he clutched it in pain. Following that, the Samurai leaned forward, jabbing the scabbard and sword forward, bashing the injured male in the head with the hilt of her blade, sending him to the ground, completely dazed, if not out cold. She looked to the other men who paused their advanced, not entirely sure what they had just witnessed. It gave her time to get into a Strong Position Stance, drawing her blade in all of her elegance, holding it at hip level. Tilting the sword with her wrist, pointing the blade towards the remaining men, she awaited their attack... or retreat.
As much as she would have liked for them to turn and run, the power of the male ego got the better of each and every one of them. Sounds of bursting flames and the feeling of heat was more than enough to let Tsu know Dragon was handling his end very well. She only turned back for a moment to watch the spectacle before returning to her issue at hand. With rallying shouts they charged forward, some with knives, and one with armored gloves in hand. As the first approached, she engaged her blade with his knife, stepping forward and swinging her sword vertically into the sky, knocking his weapon arm upward along with it due to its strength. Continuing that momentum, her armed wound backwards, whipping forward and upwards in the same motion as before, but at an angle to smack the man upside the head with the flat end of her blade, sending him reeling to the ground. Two men side by side, attacked her next, one much bigger, heavyset, wielding the armored gloves. The smaller of the two struck first, stepping in front of the larger male to get in his attack. Stepping forward, Tsu shoved the flat part of her blade into the male's abdomen, pushing against the sword with her free hand, shoving him backwards. He fell back into the larger male, though to her surprise, the effect she was going for ended in failure. With larger male coming forward, the stumbling grunt was merely slammed into his large, muscular body, and then tossed out of the way like he weighed nothing more than a paperclip. "Outta the way! This b***h is mine!" Charging forth with his massive, mountain of a body, the Samurai's eyes widened, channeling chakra into her feet to further stabilize her stance. He came at her full force with both first aimed at to strike, and when they collided, Tsu felt like she had been hit by a freight train.
Her stance, however, did not budge, even against this brute of a man. Her sword clashed with one of his fists, and to the other, her scabbard, quickly brought up to defend against the other attacking limb. For a moment, the two stood at a standstill. His strength against, her immovable stance. It wouldn't last forever though, the man grinning as he took advantage of his superior weight and size to slowly overwhelm her. Tsu struggled, sweat dripping from her forehead as she fought, but to no avail. Hearing him chuckle, she waited until he was going to go all out with his strength, to send a foot straight into his groin. He crumpled like falling building, groaning in agony while reaching down to his crotch to alleviate the pain and discomfort. Nope! Not happening, Tsu sheathed her sword, and with her freed hand sent a palm thrust to his chin, and then several more to his throat and chest area, sending him gasping to the floor.
The flames were growing wilder and hotter within the building, and it was at this time Tsu finally turned around to see what damage the might Dragon had inflicted upon the place. Taking in the sight for only a moment, she, Dragon, and any remaining men who weren't stupid enough to stay evacuated the warehouse as quickly as possible. With the warehouse set ablaze, it only enraged the war zone on the river banks even more. Fire roared once more, Dragon heading into the fray headfirst. "D-Dr... Gah..." Sighing, she relaxed her stance for a moment, wielding her sword in hand. Flooding chakra through her body, feeling her physical peak expand. Tsu was feeling much stronger and a little faster than before, following after Dragon to assist him. Instead of leaping into the crowd, she picked off thugs as she approached them, scabbard and blade whipping about to deflect oncoming strikes and attack at the same time. Making her way though the crowd to Dragon, those that managed to land a strike on him, would soon find retaliation, tenfold. The first man to kick him in the ribs, actually found his leg from knee down sliced off, while managing to block a few strikes to his back with the scabbard. She didn't get out without a few cuts and bruises herself, getting flanked especially when she focused her efforts on protecting Dragon.
The moment he Shunshin'ed out, she dealt with the surrounding enemies as best as she could until she saw the flash of black flames. Tsu would do the same, merely vanishing from the scene to the side of the river banks, joining her companion.
