[Taijutsu -5]
Rinnosuke got the hang of how to release these gates. The basics were a good way to get used to anything. He had two down, now he needed three more. It was a good start. But how does one push temselves past where the body stops to feel the pain of strained muscles. Rinnosuke snapped his fingers, he got it. He had to drink. Exactly like an Oni should know how from the first time they pick up a gourd. Any troubles could be fixed with booze. [1/5]
Rinnosuke would do drink squats first he thought. While being pumped full of energy like he was, Rinnosuke began drinking. Hw knelt down and began doing basic squats, but much faster. He felt fine, like he wasn't passing up his buzz. The genin did about 100 squats and then moved onto the next drink training. [2/5]
Rinnosuke broke into is dash again, he would try to completely wipe away the floor of the gym this time. Back and fourth he went. Rinnosuke zig-zagged, flipped, jumped, and slammed down everytime. He hade damn well sure that he had hit every board. He slowed down and kept drinking. He figured that was the way this brutal drunken style would work. [3/5]
Then came the log. He had gotten another one out. This one as big as the stationary one, but not made into the gym. Rinnosuke couldn't get through this trial with his power or impressive liver alone. He had to meditate. The Oni formed the release handsign to channel his chakra, he then put the gourd in his mouth and began to drink while collecting his chakra. The Oni was feeling something click inside his back. He felt the power, he felt the power coming, preparing to flow into him. [4/5]
Rinnosuke's skin began to turn red. His horns glowed and the Oni began to resemble the way an ogre should. Loose rocks from the gym began to float off the ground and crumble into dust. The Oni had unlocked the third gate. He wasn't planning on stopping there either. Rinnosuke set a frightening example of the strength of Taijutsu. [5/5]

[Taijutsu -5]
The genin was almost done learning this acursed style of drunk taijutsu. It managed to make even Rinnosuke ache and hurt and spasm. He looked at the block, it was falling. He drank a little bit more. Then Rinnosuke prepared a brutal finish to finally max out and release up to the fifth gate of the drunken style. He would pound the wood some more and then with one final attack he would unlock the last gate and break it into a thousand pieces. Rinnosuke knew he could do it. He was ready. [1/5]
Rinnosuke took a step and caught the wood on one finger. He threw it into the air and palm thrusted it through the roof, leaving a second hole. Rinnosuke leapt up off the walls of the dojo and made a third hole in the ceiling. The drunk took a swig of his gourd when e reached his acending point. [2/5]
Rinnosuke then bum rushed the log and hit the damn thing with every body part he could think of, and every angle you could imagine. He widdled the thing away, but he wasn't done there. Rinnosuke used handsigns to create shadow clones and help him attack. The clones smacked the whole log around. [3/5]
Rinnosuke's clones hit the wood so hard, the wood shot off, but the clone exploded upon contact with the wood. Rinnosuke got under the log and finally felt something kick in on his spine. He smiled and drank some more. He was done after this final strike. He would get up later, and move on. But Rinnosuke was going to destory this log right now. He kicked the log down at the gym. Making another hole in the roof. Rinnosuke followed close behind. He drove himself forward in a full on, crushing headbutt. [4/5]
The ground came apart, leaving onl dirt at the bottom of the dojo. When the dust cleared. Rinnosuke laid on his face. His horns were stuck into a large slab of concrete. He struggled to pull himself out and eventually he did. Rinnosuke laid down and looked up at the sky. He saw the scroll and willed himself to stand. "This...ain't good. I'm...sobering up!" Rinnosuke said going to take another swig. He finished his gourd off and would have to get more at home. Rinnosuke looked at the scroll, hidden among the rubble. His face looked suprised. It didn't say Drunken fist. It said "Eight celestial gates" Rinnosuke cursed and laughed. "Ahh well. I'm going home." He said limping out. He made it halfway before a neightbor saw him sleeping in the road and brought the genin home.[5/5]

Masahiro Hama Hatake:
"The Miracle is in the Execution."
Σ Jounin Σ Konohagakure Σ Hatake Clan Σ
 Arriving in the dojo Masahiro cast wary eyes around the room when entered, he did not want to walk into the middle of some students wire filled trap room, again, and thus he made a motion to use his katana to test the doorway and a few feet into the room, before returning it to the scabbard. Further pressing into the large room he looked around him, no one. Empty. Vacant and alone. He smirked to himself and moved to the very center of the dojo, to give himself room to practice without running into any equipment or into the walls.
His face settled in a grim, expressionless way as he drew his blade up properly, then casting it back slightly with it's handle gripped in both hands. He began to move forward across the dojo, a quarter way into his motion he began to dart to the sides, stepping side to side, the musculature in his legs expanding and contracting with each step and pivot, then his movements began to change, becoming feints entirely. His eyes determinate upon a target, the straw and wood test dummy that was erected for just this purpose, as he seemingly hopped from position to position, then stopping and beginning a dead descent on his target, a thin bead of sweat forming on his brow as his mind came to conclusion. Stabbing forward with the blade and thrusting through it's throat, tearing the material and scattering it into the area behind the target, sundering the connection that held the head in place, before pulling it out and making a second stab to the chest.
[1/1]
[Bukijutsu: Shunkan no Hagane: Rank-E: Basic Stab Learned]
Following this motion he would turn around and place his foot against the target's bare chest, shoving his foot against it to remove the blade he would turn, pivoting on the ball of his left foot as he turned and made the blade swing once more. The wind whistled against the twin bohi on the blade, three whistles implicating a perfect swing, and as the sweet sound whistled into the air the Hatake swept his body low, making the direction of the slash change to a lower, harder to block point of assault. Then as the slash honed in on the target and made contact through the first inch of the chest Masahiro swept back on the heel of his opposing foot and drew the cut directly upwards, twisting so the blade came up, through, and then over his own head, drawn over then in front of himself, reaffirming his grip with both hands.
[1/1]
[Bukijutsu: Shunkan no Hagane: Rank-E: Basic Chop Learned]
Setting his feet properly and spreading his toes for just a moment to find full footing he took one step backwards, drawing his elbows inwards towards his body as he came in closer to the target. His elbows then both drove backwards, angling his katana hilt away from his own body while slamming directly into the chest of his 'opponent' causing a slight imbalance in the puppet, while allowing the attacker to come to full balance. A breath escaped the lips of Masahiro as he repeated this action a single time, slamming both elbows into the puppet again.
[1/1]
[Bukijutsu: Shunkan no Hagane: Rank-E: Backwards Step Learned]
Stepping forward now he smirked and twisted his blade upwards into a basic blocking position, letting the hilt come to a proper cross on his body, while the side of the blade would be used to deflect anything incoming. As he envisioned the hit coming towards his blade he exhaled a second time, letting all air out of his body, as to prevent the possibility of having the air knocked out of himself. As he 'recoiled' slightly from the blow and settled his sword into the proper angle of deflection he searched his mind for what to follow with. Now, twisting the blade upwards he stepped forward on one foot and pivoted to face the enemy that was the straw doll.
[1/1]
[Bukijutsu: Shunkan no Hagane: Rank-E: Basic Block Learned]
Facing the target he now took in a deep breath and slowly let it out, finding himself in a basic, calmed stance he began to steadily spread his feet apart, letting them take on the basic balance of his body. Eyes settled on the target he envisioned the flow of energy from one being to another, eying it with all the intensity one would find in an 'emotionless' Hatake. His breath rolled on for another cycle, his chest heaving and lowering as he exhaled once again. Closing his eyes for a moment he lowered his weapon to match.
[1/1]
[Taijutsu: Sazanami: Rank-E: Footing One Learned]
Peering into the 'soul' of the target dummy the Hatake let his eyes open, the 'thousand mile stare' going on to it and seemingly throughout it, on for an eternity. His sword rose just slightly, and as it did he folded his hand in such a way that he was holding the katana 'backhand' and rose his arms up to block the 'incoming' assault from his opponent. Utilizing the slight movements of his arms he would have parried the enemy's attack and set them up for a counter attack.
[1/1]
[Taijutsu: Sazanami: Rank-E: Parry Learned]
As he moved his opponent off balance Masahiro stepped forward, drawing his blade into a basic chop, letting the crest of the blade weigh heavily over the dummy's shoulder. The forward momentum added more weight to the weapon and enhanced his power as he let the blade begin to come forward. Realizing that his current movement would put his right leg in the follow-through of the technique he took a second step forward so that his left leg was forward and his right was to his rear, with all weight on it as it continued to push him forward. The result was the blade falling and striking clean through the shoulder and wooden support of the target, felling it in a single movement. Then again, what would be expected, it was afterall just a wooden doll without the ability to fight back.

SumomoTaiki
Jounin | Bukijutsu | Konoha |
While his clone dealt with the students, He began to brush up on his techniques. Taking out a practice katana, he began to do his katas. Stepping forward, he slashed from top to bottom quickly, his blade almost invisible to the naked eye. Several more slashes just like that one, and he had felt comfortable about that technique.
[learned]
○ Basic Chop
Simple :: E-Rank
An overhead vertical strike meant as an offensive technique. Very basic, but it is a very powerful strike.
Positioning his body, he widened his stance. Holding his sword right side up, he made false block against invisible opponents. Stepping forward, as if some foolish swordsman had lost his footing, he repeated his chop, but this time, with several more times force. He backed up, and repeated the process again, this time, taking several more steps, befor unleashing a mighty blow. "That's right,that's right. I'm starting to remember."
[learned]
○ Forward Step
Simple :: E-Rank
A single step or series of steps forward, meant to add a great deal of power to offensive attacks. While it is quick, it is still one of the slower movements in the Style.
Taiki held his sword, in a one handed grip, as he deflected the skillful slashes of the imaginary swordsman. After several suspiciously heavy slashes, he felt as though the best coarse of action would be a slight evasive maneuver. Crossing his feet quickly, he began to skip backwards, skimming the edge of the silent swordsman as he went. finishing with a final skip, he pivoted on his landing foot, swinging the blade back around for a finishing strike to the neck.
[Learned]
○ Backward Step
Simple :: E-Rank
A single step or series of steps backward, meant as an escape or evasion technique. While it is quick, it is still one of the slower movements of the style, and it is mostly used as a positioning technique.
After finishing of this imaginary opponent, it was onto the next. This time, he came in as the aggressor, slashing several times quickly, as he pushed back his nemesis with each reeling strike. Before he knew it, he could feel his adversaries grip becoming weak as each clash left a wobbling sensation. Taking advantage of the moment, he slashed out, parrying the blade as he dove in, to connect with a piercing stab.
[Learned]
○ Basic Stab
Simple :: E-Rank
The basic stab used in most blade styles. It is a plain forward thrust with the blade, meant to pierce skin and cause damage to the main body.
Seeing a group of them surround him he knew his only option was defense. Rather than give them an opening he took guard. Blocking a quick slice towards his knee with an underhand grip, he parried back against the foe. Before he knew it, another blade was swinging at him, and he deflected it with an over head broadside block. The fools were no match as they all tried angrily swiping from the top, as he caught all three blades on his, before pushing them in, and finishing it, with a triple slice to their abdomens
[Learned]
○ Basic Block
Simple :: E-Rank
The set of basic upper- and lower-blocks used with swords and other bladed weapons. It works best on the basic offensive chops and slices.
[Stage One Mastered]
Taiji watched as a rather large individual charged him with all his might. Awaiting the attack, he closed his eyes for a moment, holding his breath. As soon as the man brought down his blade, a flash of quick still met his, as he pivoted on his front foot, leaving the attacker wide open. Using the return force from the block, Taiki spun back around, in the fighters blindspot, to deliver a terrible cut to his mid section.
[Learned]

Using the wooden dummy in the training room as his partner for the next exercise, taiki waited. After a short moment, he tried his best to seemingly launch from his normal standing position, in a surprise attack attempt. Swinging his blade he clashed with the wooden arm, near the top. Grabbing his blade with both hands he ground his downwards to the hilt, as he had a stare down with his "adversary"
[Learned]
○ Forward Grind
Simple :: D-Rank

This time, He would be ready, and this time, he would deliver the final blow. Taking his blade at a diagonal level, Taiki watched in slow motion, a blade coming at him.

Slowly but surely, everything is coming back to me."

• Basic Block learned.
speeding towards no one, Taiki slashed thrice in the air, apparently disemboweling imaginary rivals. After the first three were taken care of, he thought he would demoralize the opponent by making shamefully quick work of their leader. Slashing again in a very decievingly open manner, Tai allowed the opponent a chance to block his swing. As the two blades met, he pushed it downwards, before swinging it the other way with terrible speed. The sent his opponents blade spinning off as he made the final cut.
[Learned]
○ Disarming One

• Basic Stab learned.
[Stage two Mastered]
This guy wasn't going to go down without a fight. The several deep wounds Taiki had already inflicted weren't doing anything to the behemoth, and he needed to find a way to stop him. Stepping in and parrying the first stroke of his opponents attack, he made several of his own, with lightning speed, and deadly precision, cutting up the largest surface area he could well placed slashed, and stabs. After he turned from his opponent, a spritz of blood in the wind signified the ending.
[Learned]
○ Calligraphy

• Basic Stab, Deflection One learned.
Standing before the wooden dummy, Taiki meditated, pulling his blad up, in a ready stance. Slashing several times over, tai made no marks to the dummy. He sliced over and over again, barely missing the wooden frame as his slashes became more and more intense.

In essence, this attack cuts a few inches farther than the blade can reach.
• Basic Stab, Deflection One learned.
Tossing a kunai with wire against one wall, he smiled as he attached a kunai to the other end. Tossing that end into the wall next to him, he leaped up into the air, and onto the wire.

Taking a horse stance, taiki placed the bade on his knees, resting on them, as they made the perfect table for it, in his current position. Feeling the burn after several minutes, he continued to take this stance, having before boasted at being unmovable once he took sure footing. Standing again, he applied the same focus, and feel to his normal footing, and could feel a difference. Someone would have to do an awful lot to take Tai off of his feet unwillingly.
[Learned]

[Stage Three Mastered]
Taiki swiftly walked over tothe table where all of the training blades were kept. Taking up several extra,and their respective sheathes, he quickly tied them all to various places on his body. Practicing the ways his arm would have to grip to accurately hold, and get good strength out from each slash. He took a couple quick practice lashes, swinging and re-sheathing as fast as he could. It was one of his old favorites, so he knew that it wouldn't be long before he'd regained the idea.
Taking a rough stance before one of the training dummies, Taiki smiled. Gripping hold with both hands tightly, he pivoted on his front foot. As he made a full spin around, he began launching his devastating attack. Once sword whipped up from a low center, for a diagonal slice, as a second came in from the opposing side, making a quick "X" before his hands made a blur, slicing and slashing, and cutting quicker than before. As he stopped, and re-shethed the last two blades, the training dummy fell apart at his feet, to which he only smiled.
[Learned]
○ Swordslinger
Simple :: B-Rank
The rapid changing and using of blades during a battle has become recently known as “swordslinging” within the martial world due to its resemblance to certain methods of using long-range weaponry. Within the Shunkan no Hagane style, however, this is a technique taken very seriously, and as such it is only given to those who have mastered the style up to this Stage and have experience using at least five weapons. The technique involves rapidly unsheathing, attacking, and sheathing weapons without pause, constantly changing mode and form of attack, and results in the user’s ability to use techniques without any extra physical cost.
• Extension, Calligraphy practiced using at least five other bladed weapons.
Taiki unattached all of the excess blades, and pulled out his very own sword. The blade he had taken from the sight of his masters death, the Legendary Kubikiribocho, To which Tai had earned his fame by wielding. Holding the sword out with one hand, he felt the familiar weight, and enjoyed the light pull, as this massive sword had become nothing for him to wield. holding it as if it were a katana, Taiki imagined that before him, was his rival, another, imaginary swordsman.
Taking his blade in his hands, he spun around in a circle, as he swung the blade, stopping at the point where most would effectively guard. Then, crouching down a tiny bit, he brought the sword back over his head, to try another swing. As the giant blade swung around, Taiki used his evasive step maneuver, to set up a powerful forward step right back at his enemy. As he came in, he tried a very basic stap, that he would cut short, to retract as the normal person would guard, before bearing down again with another stab.
[Leaned]
○ Illusory Double
Simple :: B-Rank
A close range attack, the user goes for a direct stab at the opponent. By pulling the blade slightly back immediately afterward, the user can then strike another nearby point very shortly after the first strike. This technique is fast enough that those who are of the same rank as the user cannot see the second strike.
• Basic Stab.
Among the many scrolls he had brought for his training today, was one labeled, "The Fun Part". Smiling like a child, Taiki grabbed up the scroll, and hastily summoned up its contents. There before him was a basket of balls. Walking out into the hall, tai leaned over, picked one up, and hurled it with all of his inhuman might, at the other end of the hall. As the ball made a loud thud, and came whizzing back, he lifted the practice katana, and lashed out, cutting the end off of the ball.
"Damnit, I'm not used to regular katanas anymore, ugh". Taking another ball in his hand, he prepared with a baseball player style wind-up. Unleashing this ball with even more terrible force, he watched it collide with the door at the end of the hall, before speeding back. Centering himself, he judged the balls distance from him as it zoomed ever closer. Holding his blade with two hands, he felt the right time approach as he swung fiercely, severing the ball in its center.
[Learned]
○ Sensory Information
Simple :: B-Rank
A passive technique that allows the user to judge the location of an incoming object or person, but not the location, based on sounds and disturbances made in the environment.
Taiki was making wonderful headway this time, and he felt like he needed to practice something a bit more, combat effective. Taking one of the many practice blades that ay about the room, he set it up, blade facing the sky. standing before it like some sort of famous karate expert, he prepared to break it, as if he were breaking bricks. Taking his Zanbato in hand, he lifted it, moving it from side to side, as he quickly re-acquainted himself to the feel. "Alright then, lets see if I remember to do this, or not."
Taking his blade, he focused his rage, his strength, and his very will to stop all opposing forces. He let chakra slip out, forming an aura around his body, navy in hue, at least for now. whipping his blade up, he let out a surge of his energy, as he prepared the strike. Lightening fast, he slung down his hammer of a weapon, which sliced through the air fast enough, and strong enough, to cause that displacement to form a second impact. It struck so quickly after that trained ears could barely hear the double clink, as the blade gave weight to force, and the practice katana snapped apart.
[Learned]
○ Twin Blade
Simple :: B-Rank
Due to the user’s strength, the air around the blade sharpens similar to the Extension technique. However, due to the user’s speed and proficiency with blades, the air blade hits after the actual blade with enough force to crack or shatter most blades.
• Calligraphy, Extension learned.
As the blade of the practice katana whizzed by his head, he ignored the possible danger. A sick thud indicated to him that the blade had found the wall to be a sufficient sheath. Standing before another of the wooden dummies, he decided to train with the more advanced form of his calligraphy technique. Throwing his zanbato from right, to left hand, he placed the right on the handles base as a counter-weight, for slashing.
Taking his sword, he began to swing with violent and destructive force, still maintaining the speed of a regularly sized katana. Cutting skin depth wounds into the doll was not enough. Intensifying the force, and speed in his strokes, he lashed with murderous intent, as his arms became more fluid and bestial in striking style. His aura began to flair again, as the speed seemed to increase, as did the depth, and damage caused by these slashes.
[Learned]
○ Brush Stroke
Simple :: B-Rank
A series of quick cuts that eclipse the Calligraphy technique in both speed and depth, but are much more difficult to work with. The cuts now pierce all the way through muscles, and can cut in to bone. This technique can only be seen by people with a speed rank higher than the user’s own.
• Calligraphy learned.
As he stopped, the kanji for the word "Oni" was shown to be engraved into the doll at the deepest parts. Smiling again Taiki felt his power flaring up, as it welled with the blood of his family. That "specific" power is something he had not touched into for a very long time. At first refusing the idea, he wondered if it might enhance all of his swordsman skills to a point he had all thought to be unattainable.
As he lifted his favorite sword, he let his aura well up, and taint his blade. He felt the old familiar rush that his Kekkei genkei was responsible for. As he lurched back to a starting point that would allow the perfect swing, it had become as if his blade had vanished. all forty pounds of huge metal, seemed to vanish before one would realize that the blade had simply just swung. Leaving behind the sound of several more clashes than could have been seen, he had swung the sword as fast as bodily possible, breaking speed barriers, as the shocked cause air pressure to assume the strength of four more strikes on top of his own.
[Learned]
○ Hydra Strike
Simple :: B-Rank
An enhancement of the Twin Blade. Instead of only one additional strike, the user can now launch several in a row without any loss in speed or power.
• Twin Blade learned.
Taking his sword in hand, and looking at the blade, Taiki smiled, as he thought "We're back in business old friend. It's almost time to resurface". As he turned, he approached the war-torn dummy, and attached a blade to it's hand, allowing it to act as a partner. He took a few steps back, and imagined the strike coming at him. As his opponent swung his sword at a top to right diagonal line, he struck back.
catching the blade, as it came in, He took a powerful step towards the dummy. Lurching forward with that menacing blade of his, a secondary step marked the beginning of this technique. As he swung with all of his might behind his giant sword, he felt a pop in the air, as if it was giving way to the sheer power that he demanded be behind his weapon. The blade connected with the sword, and asthough it seemed tobe not much, the blade cracked, and snapped away, as it was revealed that some of Tai's slash had connected with the wooden doll.
[Learned]
○ Disarming Two
Simple :: B-Rank
The user aims for the point just beyond the focal point of the opponent’s weapon of choice, be it metal or flesh, and swings strongly for that point. Once the user’s blade connects, the opponent’s blade breaks in two and the hilt of the blade is sent flying. If the opponent holds on to his or her blade too strongly, the bone fingers in the hand(s) holding on to the hilt crack.
Seeing that his foe was not defeated by this technique, as he appeared to have a secondary blade on hand. Taiki scoffed at him, as he felt the use of multiple blades to be a crutch, only suitable against multiple opponents. As he saw him come in for his attack, Tai eagerly watched his body movements, using his sensory training. With his enhanced senses, he clearly picked out the direction of the oncoming attack made by his opponent.
Making a powerful step inwards, Tai advanced on his opponent, hopefully seeming to offset them, allow the gap of counter attacking to become greater. As the rivals blade arced in the manner that he had suspected, Taikis blade had already made it's way there. The force of the stone-shattering blow, and its early deliverance, would insure that the attack would be null. This great opening would allow for an even greater attack, and Taiki knew that this would be a good ability to remember.
[Learned]
○ Deflection Two
Simple :: B-Rank
In the early stages of an opponent’s Taijutsu or Kenjutsu attack, the user raises his or her blade and alters the course of the incoming attack so that it is rendered useless, allowing for a quick counterattack by the user.
Taiki had only felt sad in the idea that he was forgetting something. As he stood, to think about the situation a bit better, he tripped on his own foot, stumbling up as the answer struck him; "Footwork". Getting into a firm sword stance, he practiced a few quick steps, and then a few more evasive once, returning to his beginning spot. Feeling as though he might be able to get more power from his attacks if he skipped from back foot, to front, he got ready to attempt it.
Backing up, he took his stance in the hallway, as to get the most distance out of it, without any trouble. Taking a moment to breathe, Taiki felt as though it was now, or never. With a powerful lunge, he shot off, and brought his sword swinging right behind him. Slicing through the air as it came round, he heard the whip-crack that followed the deadly techniques of this style. Skimming to a halt, he grinned, as he realized the combat efficiency of this new step.
[Learned]
○ Advance of Steel
Simple :: B-Rank
A very quick forward movement that doubles the strength and effectiveness of all offensive and defensive techniques and makes them very difficult to dodge by anyone of the user’s speed rank or lower.
[Stage Four Mastered]
Taking his blade in hand as he walked back to the room he had began in, he took a few step around the room. Lifting his mighty sword, he swung heavily in the air. Building momentum and strength, he let out a surge of chakra, powering himself to greater strikes. One after the other, he effortlessly wielded the huge blade as if any other swordsman would use their katana. Once he felt good about his area of swinging, he stepped forcefully again.
With sharp accuracy, he lashed out at the wooden doll, far from connecting with his blade. The air around the strike stretched out, and it made a slight slapping sound against the wood. Pivoting on his forward foot, he swung again, far from the target, and the slapping was heard again, this time, with greater force. A third pull, and Taiki caused the blade to lurch up, and over his head as he sliced again, letting out a short grunt, as he did.
The swing could be heard, cracking like a whip as the dummy, almost a foot away from the blade edge, took a terribly cut. As he swung again, and again at the dummy, using his regular strikes, he noted more nicks and cuts appearing, as if his extension technique had been altered. He continued to swing over and over, carving gashes upon wounds into the wood, until the air would not respond to his slices anymore. "Hmm about ten minutes on this extension...That works."

SumomoTaiki
Jounin | Bukijutsu | Konoha |
Taiki sat in a corner of his practice area, and closed his eyes. his body remained cool and relaxed as he began his breathing exercise, counting in his head. He imagined in himself, a dark room, gates blocking his advance, as a shadow lurched in his peripheral vision. Turning to face it, Taiki narrowed his eyes at the large oni tat glared back at him.
He leaned his head to the side, as a glint of gold caught his eyes. "of coarse, the elders did this when they taught me of the beast stage. It's a test, made of the elders on chakra ". Pulling his zanbato out, he lifted a single hand, to beckon the monster to him. Snarling, the lumbering mammoth slouched it way to him, rearing back a big ugly fist. Gripping his blade with both hands, Tai lifted it up, and held his backhand on the bottom as a weight, for a quick counter attack.
The ground shook as the monster missed his target, who had nimbly retreated several steps back. Grunting as he did, Tai leapt at his foes, throwing the blade with all his might while he soared after it. A splurt of blood sprayed into the air as the blade met with it's giant shoulder, before Taiki landed on it's hilt. Running up the length, he delivered a swift kick, to the monster, as he flipped backwards, and yanked the blade out forcefully.
A low howl filled the dank room, as it was accompanied by the sound of flesh shearing, due to Taiki's swift sword skill, and a well placed slice to the orges massive hamstring. As it took a knee, Tai swung the blade over his head, adding momentum, before letting the blade crash against the beast again, hearing a sickening sound as blade pierced bone. Blind rage over came the beast as it jumped away, cradling its wounded leg as a howl exploded with wind force, sending a bullet storming Tai's way.
Circulating energy through his zanbato, taiki didn't budge from his spot until; to the monsters surprise, he jumped right in it's direction. Another grunt from taiki, as he soared, and his huge blade whipped through the air, slicing clean through the bubble. Finishing his aerial assault, Tai came down hard on the Oni, with the blade, slicing through it's chest, sending him reeling in pain. Landing in a crouched position, the heavy sword snapped upwards, at alarming speed, doubling the gash across, making an "X" shaped wound.
An over-sized hand grabbed Tai roughly, and picked him up off of the floor, holding him tightly. The jounins blade clanked against the floor, as he yelled out in pain. The beast had a terrible grip on him, and he wasn't sure how to escape these massive mitts. Prying one arm free, Tai quickly began swinging his arm, like a sword, narrowly out of reach, until a distinct pop, foretold the snapping, whip like speed of his hands, as the shearing technique drew blood from the Ogre's eyes.
Letting go of it's prey the giant covered its eyes, as Tai snatched up his blade for the kill. Spinning around in a circle, he sliced once, and a second time, gaining speed for a third, and then a fourth. Cutting with inhuman intesity, and lighting speed the numbers could barely be kept up with, as he continued his flurry. stabs accompanied cut, as the gashes and wounds piled up on the monster, causing the great beast to black out as it's eyes rolled back. Pivoting on his front foot, Taiki swung the broadside of his blade like a baseball bat, launching his opponent into the gate it was guarding.
As Taiki walked over the the obviously out of commission hulk, he snatched the key from his side, and plunged it into the hole. upon opening the door, a cloud became visible. Purple in hue, it swirled about in one place, jerking at times, almost as if it were anxious. Carefully stepping up to it, the Man placed his hand into the cloud, unsure of what would happen next. A jot was felt in his arm as the cloud forced his own navy blue aura to surface, as the sharp purple hue began to intertwine.
He let out a gunt, and the two swirls fused perfectly, emanating an ominous shade, of dark looking chakras, as it began to take shape. Forming the face of a suspiciously evil looking oni, the cloud of chakra around him seemed to open it's mouth, in a cackling manner. Tightening his grip as he looked at his fist, Tai felt a new strength emerge from within him, He felt the awakening, of the demon.

Zama no Yajuu [ State of the Beast ]
While in this state, the Hakemoto abandons their basic teachings and resorts to their feral instincts in order to achieve a goal they'd typically be incapable of. Their physical strength, speed, reflexes, and senses are all increased a good amount. Although there are two, the main downside to this state is that it uses up two trance points every post, rather than one. The other downside being that techniques that require chakra to use, require an additional [5] chakra to perform.
Because of its methods, this state is often frowned upon by most members of the Hakemoto clan.

MaitoTai
Jounin | Taijutsu | Konoha |
Taiki stood in an empty room in the dojo, Charging his chakra carefully. He didn't want to get rusty at what was his specialty, So he decided to run through the usual list of techniques. First his Celestial Gates technique; The key to his great battle prowess. Gathering energy into his hands, He focused all of his might on releasing the first of the eight gates.
Next up was something a bit more Useful for him. Channeling his Chakra, Tai started to surge once more. This time he invisioned The power welling forcefully, Or rather, Taiki was getting closer to it. Tai smiled once more, "Good, good. Things are starting to become easier, I can tell." "Next up is Something I happen to specialize in." His hands gathering chakra amidst them. He crouched down and placed his palms on the floor.
Moments afterwards, There was a quick and low rumble. Taiki pushed more of his Chakra blowing pieces of dust and debris He half-heartidly chuckled to the empty room Okay; "Now we'll try something a little Harder than those last ones." Taiki felt his chakra circling his system. He felt the energy softly washing, moving, coalescing,and the feeling centered him. He channeled in one part of his body, the fury of the ocean, The howling of the water, the pure power of a monsoon.
Visualizing the element that he was trying to manifest was something he had taught himself to do from a very early age. After successfully harnessing his chakra, he moved on to the next stage Taking a deep-rooted horse stance. He envisioned himself becoming one with the earth. His legs like tree trunks, dug into the ground. He felt the strength of the stone beneath him, and he imitated it. Tensing his muscles to become like rock he focused his energies once more. His body lurched, like the landslide about to take down an entire mountainside, He became one.
Coalescing this vision, into reality, through his increasingly surging chakras, he focused this into his right fist. the light from the surge in his chakra would seem at first, a dangerous thing, as if trying to force what cannot join together, but upon closer inspection, things would actually seem to be the opposite. Anyone nearby with an acute sense for chakra could feel it, it was if the very strength of what he was attempting could be smelled in the air. Another second and his chakra would take visible form, covering tai in a beautiful sheath of emerald green.
[First Gate Learned]
Outside it was becoming even more apparent, as the winds changed to match the events unwinding. Blowing loudly as if the heaven s them selves were watching this spectacular moment come into fruition. Tai centered himself once more, as his task was almost complete. He had began to fully feel the fury of his blood; and the power of his Chakra. After so long spend with all of this power bottled up, The young man was going to make up entirely for lost time.
Snapping his eyes open, His chakra veil exploded in a swift moving expansion. As his bright green energy spread farther out into the room, and the wind howled. It was as if his power was calling upon heaven and earth to pay respect, to sit and watch; To take in the true strength that is the Celestial Gates. with unbending concentration, to smile at his handy work, He knew that now was the time to release it.
Taiki Stomped on the ground, Left foot once, and then copied with the other foot, Crouching into a rooted horse stance as he did so. Retracting his arms to his waist,in a karate-like manner, he lurched forward. With a surge of power, and energy, The veil of Emerald green beauty shrank back to Tai, disappearing almost completely, save a bright green glowing halo around his body. The wind, as if being blocked off by some unseen force, or invisible wall, simply paused.
For a moment in time, everything was completely silent. Just as soon as that split-second of peaceful bliss had come, it also had went. With a powerful rumble that would be heard throughout the entire village, as the ground would quiver in the wake of this technique. Once the initial quakes would take their pause, Taiki still in his solitary room, would throw his open palms on the floor, and flood the ground with a secondary, more powerful surge of his chakras Releasing them into the earth, rather than destroy the Dojo.
While his clone dealt with the students, He continued to brush up on his techniques. Stomping, he Pushed out again, Grunting as he did so. Several more Exertions just like that one, and he had felt comfortable about that technique. Positioning his body, he widened his stance. Holding his arms at his waste, he Stepped forward,and dropped his hands to the floor once more,to give his massive well of chakra an outlet. he repeated, but this time, with several more times force before unleashing a mighty Shout. "That's right,that's right. I'm starting to remember."

Hunkering down, Taiji dug into his normal rooted horse-stance. Taking a deep breath in, and then out, he began the next mantra. Going over and over in his head the proper way to flip the switch inside him. This would furth his technique, in power, as well in application, as there were many things he could use this for.
Grunting softly the first gate was released. A small vein on his forehead protruded slightly, as the dust was kicked up ever so gently, as if it were only the wind. Feeling the surge overtake him, as if he was invigorated to level beyond human limits. Thankfully though, this was that exact case.
Clenching his fist tightly, he released the second gate. This feeling swept into him, and gave him the stamina to take on an entire army alone. The feeling caused him to smile, as his emerald green chakra was becoming slightly visible. The green tinge stretched outwards as he brought his hands up, making an "X" with his forearms.
He felt the surge rush to his spine, and coalesce there. Gathering more and more, it pushed on this spot; as if trying to know down a wall. Forcing more and more, it was as if something was popping inside of him, on the verge of cracking. One more forceful push By tai and a small grunt, Signified the rumbling that the dojo floor now felt. Shaking violently as Tai stood firmly.
Suddenly his skin took on a menacing red tinge, and his eyes seemed to lose their Iris. Chakra now spilling forth at a frightening pace, the debris on the floor became swept up into the air. The pressure being felt from this would be something that anyone would be able to feel, as the force itself was shaking the grounds around the dojo as well. Releasing the gate quickly, Tai plopped on the floor. "Jeez that was rough."
[third gate learned]
Tai was taking this to the next level. He wasn't gonnalet anyone else stand in his way any longer. He had to become as strong as he possibly could or everything he had worked for would be all for not.
Digging down deep within himself, he began to pull more energy out. He was going to force out the next gate in the cycle. This power boost was going to be something that proved very useful.
Tai was giving into the enormous rush of his own chakras as the pulled at him. He was putting everything into this push, trying his hardest. There had to be just one more step, one more plateau to reach.
With a rush of powerful wind the ground kicked up amazing force, gathering debris. His face grimaced as he clenched down powerfully with his teeth. He let out a loud grunt as he felt the force within him unleash with all the power of true human strength.
He had done it. He had figured out the next gate in the cycle. Clenching his fist he could clearly feel within himself the true might of this power. He imagined the force at which he could now crush those that oppose him. This was going to make him a famous Shinobi.
[Fourth Gate]
Dipping once more into the vast reaches of his bodies power, he pushed more. He needed to go further, this was his next step, but it was not enough. He would need to become even more than this, he would need to become the best.
This taijutsu specialist gave a hefty grunt as energy spewed forth from his body. as his might could be seen with normal eyes, an emerald green aura. He was going to make it farther than his father, He had to go farther.
He heels began to wear down on the floor beneath him. the ground felt as though it wanted to give in, and just fracture right then and there. Thi was summoning one of the most powerful techniques his village had to offer.
There has to be more, He thought; There just has to be more! At that moment he felt an unfamiliar feeling, a chilling tingle in his spine. As if responding to his wishes, his body lurched as air displaced, and wind roared around him. There was more, and he had just found out where it was hidden.
Forcing the bulk of his chakra to that single point, Tai felt a switch in him snap open as his energy forced more of itself out, and around him. The air felt heavy, and whipped around him as he was the epicenter of a storm. the ground finally gave way, and crumbled beneath his fury, as he sunk into the ground, still exerting force.
[Fifth Gate]
With the opening of the fifth gate, he felt another tingle of great force take him over. There located further down his spine was another switch, he was sure of it! He condensed the raging torrent around him, and tried to force it to one location.
The strength of the backlash was great, but Tai had amazing focus, and it was all going into this effort. He was going to crack this one open too, and reap the immense power that has always been locked away inside every human, only those who are worthy, ever getting the chance to experience it.
There was a pop, and he felt his muscles stress a bit as the ground sunk in even further. It was as though the weight of his pure power couldn't be supported by normal ground. This power was taking his abilities to an entirely new level.
There was a refreshing feeling wafting over him as he felt his reserves expand by a favorable amount. Clenching his fist he could tell that this kind of strength would be devastating, to both it's user and the foe. He could feel his chakra venting outwards without his command, blowing everything around him a safe distance away.
There was a drawback to this amazing force though. He would have to trade blow for direct damage reflection. He wasn't sure it the technique would be a wise one to practice any further, as he felt that the harm would be too great. It would have to be a technique he saved for dire straights.

Taiki unrolled the scroll that The hokage had given to him earlier. It was an important mission that he had to do for him, with quickness. "Do..not read the back, until the mission is complete? Ugh?! The-Fu-alright whatever..He always ******** testing me." Rolling it completely open, he read the contents of the scroll, getting a briefing of this mission. There was an encampment to the west of the village full of a militia of anti shinobi forced, attempting to drive us out.
[1/8]
Reading over the entirety of the dossier on thier leader, he noted that he was a Katon user. "The...leader of the anti ninja force, is a rogue ninja?" It made perfect sense to him now, The man was merely trying to settle some sort of vendetta with them, and was using this army as a front. It seemed Tai would have to quell this all on his own, although that wouldn't be too difficult for someone with his unique strengths. With that, he made his way to the gates of konoha.
[2/8]
Title: Dissolve the Faction
Rank: S
Information: A force has gathered within the country's borders. Intelligence shows that it is a hostile militia with harmful intent towards the village. Deploy to the base of the faction and extinguish their forces.
Solo or Squad: Multiple
Minimum Posts: 8
Note: This mission is meant for darker shinobi operatives. |

 Jade Long
Once she left the office the young girl would come straight to the village's dojo. She needed to do a bit of training on her bloodline and she figured that this was the place to do it. Yes there had been the option of sparring a fellow member of the village but for now the young Taijutsu girl wished to train solo. She knew a lot about her clan and she had been training in martial arts since she was a little child, her father having taught her everything there was to know. But Jade, being born blind, had to develop a style of her own in order to fight. (1/21)
In some cases, being blind helped her, having developed a way to see without the use of her eyesight. However, it had still made things tricky from time to time but she normally managed to do well at anything she had done. Jade knew about the different States her clan had been gifted through training as monks. Yet she had never practiced them too often, but it was essential that she mastered them before she could continue on with her training. (2/21)
Without her father's guidance it would prove difficult to train by herself but she was quite the independent young woman. Though the first state she needed to learn had been something that she was informed about by her mother. The State of Healing, it had been a very important state, like all of them had, but was the only one that healed. Her mother had mastered this state better than all others and had combined it with Medical Ninjutsu to become an amazing medical-ninja during her days. (3/21)
Jade tried to remember her mother's words, her description about the healing state, having memorized it by heart. While in this state, the Hakemoto becomes even more calm than normal. Abolishing all hatred, rage, and malice from their system in order to clear their minds. During this almost meditative state, his aches and pains seem to utterly fade, and he is able to release chakra surges in order to mend his or an ally's wounds. (4/21)
It was useful as it could heal both the user and an ally and it would best be combined with the Eight Gates, working in conjunction with the Gate of Healing. That way, the user would not only be completely healed of all physical and mental ailments and injury, but it could re-energize them back to perfect health. Though with this in mind, Jade had a long road ahead of her but she was prepared to face the challenge. Though where was she to began, that was something that she began to ponder while she calmed herself. (5/21)
With a feint sigh Jade would calmly sit onto the dojo floor. Her legs crossing as she began to calm her body. If she were to master this State then she would need to undergo a few changes first. The first had been to purge her mind of harmful thoughts as this was a non-offensive state. The girl would wipe her mind clear of violence and hatred of everyone and everything that she had felt, purifying it. (6/21)
While Jade had thought about harming herself in order to see how fast she could master this State, it probably wasn't wise. She began to think it over, contemplating on how she should go about this. Injuring herself had been the only sure way to master the technique by her lonesome. Jade didn't fear pain but it probably wasn't in her best interest to cause self-inflicted damage without a medical ninja present. (7/21)
In the end, making a small wound on herself would probably be best, it would be the only way to see if she would be able to master this State in a single sitting. So Jade took in a deep breath, entering a state of true tranquility. Her mind become clear as she would reach out a single pale hand into the holster pouch that had been strapped onto her left side. From them she opened it and would remove a single kunai from it before closing the pouch and starting to bring it towards her. (8/21)
The tip of the kunai would press lightly against her forearm, starting to apply pressure to dig into the skin a bit. After a moment the girl loosened her once tense body as she dragged the blade along her forearm. A wound had been created, her skin parting to make way for the blood to spill down her arm slowly as she set the kunai aside. However, Jade remained calm during all of this, not a single grunt nor protesting utterance was given from her. She had felt worse than just a mere cut on the forearm. (9/21)
With the shallow cut present there wouldn't any need of a medical ninja to heal her as it proved harmless to someone with her prowess. For a moment she allowed the blood to run down her arm, keeping a calm state of mind as though she was meditating. Her chakra circulating through her form as she concentrated, being at peace with the world. Her chakra began to fluctuated and surge from her body only slightly as she began to stabilize it with her own willpower. (10/21)
The world around her had quieted until she was able to believe that she was the only person existing on this earth. Her hands would be placed on top of each other as her emerald colored chakra began to flare around her. However, she was quick to tame this outburst of chakra into her hands before it had gotten out of hand. Jade starting to create an aura of thin chakra in between them as she took in another deep breath and pressed on of her palms onto the open wound on her arm. (11/21)
The warmth of the chakra soothed her as it came into contact with the wound. Soon the wound began to heal after a moment or so, channeling the chakra back into her own body. Mending and repairing her own body, rejuvenating it with this State of Healing, though it was no easy feat. However, healing a mere flesh wound had proven to be a rather easy task for a state like this despite not having a massive pool of chakra to use. She made due with what she had though. (12/21)
In the end the wound had fully healed within a minute and her emerald chakra would die down. While it was just the first State she had found it extremely useful and could come into play if she faced an overwhelming opponent. It also made it so that she didn't need to rely on a medical ninja like most others if she needed to heal herself. (13/21)
For now Jade would make due with what she had, now that she had mastered this stage of her training she could move on to the next. However, she still had a long way to go before she could do any serious fighting as a ninja. Already she had begun to move on to the next state of her training, one that would prove useful in combat. (14/21)
The girl had began to grew adept with controlling her chakra sense she needed to be able to do so for the State of Healing. This had allowed her to enter the next state, the State of Control. In this state one would learn better control of their chakra in order to cut the sacrifice made to her own chakra when performing jutsu. When in this state Hakemoto gains an adept understanding and manipulation of their own chakra. (15/21)
Considering that she had already gained most control over her chakra flow, completing this state shouldn't prove to be too much of a problem. This State could be used to lessen the opponent's chakra by disrupting their chakra flow. It would also cut in half her own chakra requirement so her pool of chakra wouldn't end up depleted so fast. Jade would come to a stand after she finished her brief period of meditating. (16/21)
She stood up to her feet, stretching herself out a bit as she inhaled a deep and calming breath to relieve her stress. Once again he chakra began to rapidly flow through her young body, channeling it through her limbs. Her emerald aura had returned as she calmly opened her palms and began to focus her energy into them. (17/21)
The energy would start to fluctuate around her palms, layering it with chakra. The chakra would whirl around her palms but would begin to fizzle out when she tired to maintain concentration. A bead of sweat rolled down the side of her face as she tried to regain her composure, but it was proving to be a more daunting task than one may believe. Softly she frowned, her headband hiding her blind eyes that had begun to squint. (18/21)
Her stance began to tense up and her muscles would flex a bit as she took in another calm breath. The tension she felt had started to lessen as she cooed faintly. She had remembered that mastering this stage had been essential for combat lest she go about the battlefield wasting chakra. While Taijutsu users already used little to no chakra as it was she didn't want to take that risk as there were techniques that did require chakra use. (19/21)
Soon her aura returned around her palms and as her chakra would then fill them. Jade takes her open palm and sends out a surge of chakra which takes the form of a short and wide blast of energy. While there hadn't been any enemies around for her to simply release it outward showed her that she could perform the technique without too much hassle. Though she would still need to test it out in actual combat to be completely sure that she had gotten the hang of it. (20/21)
It was a technique that wasn't meant to cause much physical damage to the opponent when they were struck by the user's palm. Instead the attack was on the opponent's chakra in order to disrupt their chakra system with the blast. However, after she mastered the technique Jade would release a calming sigh as she sat down. For now she decided that it was best to take a light break until she was able to undergo some more training, chances were that she would spend the rest of her day in here. (21/21)

Jade Long
Once she had finished training the first couple of stages in her bloodline Jade would prepare for the third. It had been essential that she had learned the first three stages and she had already completed the first two. The first two had been tiresome due to them being more supportive stages than ones used for attacking. (1/11)
The third state however revolved around strength and power. It was the state that could increase her fighting prowess upon her activating it but it wouldn't be easy to master in the least bit. Jade knew all about this state yet she had yet to practice it to see if she could in fact master it in a single day. (2/11)
Jade had big plans, her goal was to master the first three stages in one day. Because of this little added detail to her training the girl had disallowed herself a meal until she had mastered the first three states of her blood line. It hadn't been too big of a deal considering that her father had done the same thing to her when she was under his guidance. So ignore her stomach's cries for food would be easy right? (3/11)
However, due to her excitement to get to the Hokage's office this morning, Jade had neglected to eat breakfast. Needless to say that the girl was quite famished and going through the day without eating had been fairly unhealthy. Though, Jade was committed to her training and she would refute her body the right to eat until it cooperated with her and her training. (4/11)
Her body was trained to withstand a lot of things so she had a good amount of endurance and will power. Because of this she could last longer in a fight than most others and could train for extremely long periods of time without substance. However, she knew that she would probably eat herself into a coma after her training had finally been completed. Hopefully she would still have money left at the end of the day. (5/11)
After she had finished the first two states Jade had allotted herself a couple of hours to rest and reflect on her training. Before she continued she had gotten a bit to drink and would strength out her limbs to make sure she had been nimble and flexible. After she warmed up for a few moments she had prepared to take on the next state. (6/11)
Jade kept a cool mind as she began to remember back to her old training as a martial artist. Having trained under her father yet the man had never allowed her to practice their bloodline's techniques. This was due to them being highly dangerous for someone her age and at the time she didn't have the proper chakra control to control the abilities. So she had spent most of her life training in normal Taijutsu. (7/11)
Though she wasn't shown specifically how to go through these states she was still told about them by her father, still remembering his lessons. During the State of Power the Hakemoto becomes slightly more nimble, and moderately physically stronger. Because those of the Hakemoto clan must be of the Taijutsu or Bukijutsu class, this is typically a preferred state of being. (8/11)
This had been one of the reasons why she had become a Taijutsu ninja. From birth her options had been rather limited, born into this clan of monks and warriors the girl was required to adapt to her environment even as an infant. However, she had chose this path in order to make her father proud, wanting to be as a great if not greater than he had been when he was a ninja. (9/11)
So the girl would start to flex her body while at the same time keeping a level of calmness and solitude. Having approached one of the training dummies the girl cooed softly as she focused her energy. Jade's muscles would tighten and expand a bit once channeling chakra through her body, her physical height increasing. She focused this increase into great power as she prepared to strike. (10/11)
Lastly, the girl gave a mighty palm thrust towards the dummy with a quickened speed and thunderous power. She followed it up with a second palm strike and a grunt as the training dummy had been smashed. Its head rolling away and its chest cavity had been crushed. With a calming breath Jade would release this state and turn back to her normal self as her muscles retracted and Jade returned to her calmed self. The girl giving a relaxed sigh as she had fallen onto her a**, feeling rather famished now, but she had achieved her goal. (11/11)

Jade Long
After having finally gotten herself a bit to eat Jade had returned to the dojo to continue with her training. After she had completed the first three states of her bloodline the girl had taken a break to get a bit to eat before she passed out. It was essential that she had gotten something in her stomach after all since she hadn't eaten that morning and had about to keel over. So after treating herself to a few bowls of ramen she returned to the dojo. (1/13)
However, now she had entered a state of meditative training since she needed to become at peace with the world around her. It was also a good way to train without straining her body too much and risking injury. After all she had just finished eating and needed to let the food inside of her digest so she didn't get stomachache. (2/13)
Her eyes had been closed as she sat down with her legs crossed, her mind becoming calm and peaceful. Having begun to remember the meditation she and her father use to go through those years ago. The young Jade and her father had often meditated under the weight of waterfalls, having always found it a bit difficult to keep her concentration but with time she had grown accustomed to the weight. (3/13)
As she meditated the blind girl calmly took in her surroundings, picking up the slightest sound, the slightest movement. As she hadn't had the sense of sight she had developed an extra sense through the heightening of the other four. She called it Seismic Sense, appropriately named as she used both the land and the sky to constantly paint a picture of her surroundings for her. (4/13)
It had taken her years to master this sense, however, and it wasn't even until a year ago that she had perfected it. It was a great asset to her Taijutsu nature and it complimented her Hakemoto clan style of fighting as well. The three of them had gone so well together and the third piece, the girl's special sense, had been something that none other could mimic. (5/13)
One could only learn something like this unless they were blind or if she taught them and even then it could take decades to master. Because it was something that Jade developed along with her being a young Taijutsu prodigy as it was, it had only taken the girl ten years of her short life to fully develop this sense into something great and monstrous. However, whenever she ran into someone that had been curious about this sense, they were always confused as to how it worked. (6/13)
Although blind, through strenuous martial arts training since she was only a child, Jade was able to greatly enhance her remaining four senses to amazing lengths. Functioning with high levels of sensitivity and accuracy, she was able to develop a way to "see" as well. While having a "radar" type sense (similar to echolocation), she combined it with the ability to detect vibrations in the ground. (7/13)
Jade is able to perceive objects and her environment through both land and air. Using vibrations, air, and soundwaves that naturally flow through the area. Jade is fully capable of using the sense to perceive things and movement out of a normal person's line of vision in a full three hundred-sixty degree area while it has an incredibly long range. (8/13)
Obstacles that would normally obstruct regular vision, such as walls and thick dust clouds, are ineffective against Seismic Sense. At the same time caverns and other underground cavities can also be detected through a reliance different resonances. While taking higher amounts of focus and concentration, Jade can use Seismic Sense to work as a lie detector by sensing the interiors of others and changes in their status; primarily the heartbeat. (9/13)
Since humans have a physical reaction when they lie, Jade is able to tell when this happens through concentration. However, this is ineffective against those that are able to suppress this natural reaction. In other words the lie detector part of this sense is useless against fairly skilled liars. (10/13)
This sense had been fully developed by now and she could use it on an everyday basis like any other sense. However, when she goes in to battle it takes a small toll on her mentally because she has to multi-task by fighting and using this sight to trace the opponent(s) at the same time. A lot of times this proves to be difficult sense she doesn't have a lot of chakra. However, due to the small chakra cost, she is able to use this sight in battle without much risk of depleting her chakra pool. (11/13)
Jade continued to meditate, staying within her calmed state of mind with her legs crossed over each other. Her bare feet resting beneath her legs as her ankles rested against the wooden floor. She calmly breathed, using the constant air flow and vibration around her to take in the of the dojo around her at once. The child could hear her own heart beating as she steadied it so it could match the rhythmic beats around her. (12/13)
The dark haired girl began to finish up her meditation so she could move on to training herself in the art of Taijutsu. Her body felt at peace and the food inside of her had digested by now and her state of peace had been entered. Jade finally began to open her eyes yet they were hidden behind the headband around her so nothing about her eyesight changed. Calmly she stood up as she stretched out a bit, it was still day out and she would return home during the night for a good dinner and some rest once her training was over. (13/13)
