The earth trembled at the force of Kenji's other-worldly scythe. In response to the violent tremors, the ground rattled, kicking up a lot of things, including Ren's chain. It's orientation made it viable for Ren to use any excess momentum to entangled Kenji in the now airborne chain. The visual of the being capable of latching onto him, his shoulders, his legs, his neck, caused a sensation, a powerful to override his conscience for the briefest of moments. In one flutter of his eye lids, a month's worth of reminiscing occurred in a blink. His thoughts followed a frightfully ordered sequence, as he relived that day on Shaka Beach.
(Flash back)
You're a sage now Kenji, that means something you know. It isn't just a sign of strength, it is a sign of wisdom, whether you like it or not, the Kasfarians have taught you to teach. Among many of your responsibilities is the generosity of knowledge... are ready for that. There are going to be times where you find yourself in compromising situations, ones where you find yourself confined even. But you have the tools to break free, you have the tools to get out of any situation, and most of all, you have the keen sense to recognize the best method...Kenji was sitting atop the dome, as the words of his mentor, Kaslam, played through his head. These duties, did not sit well into the brash and high octane, and short sighted Kenji. Birds flew over head, a rare scene at the altitude Kenji was at. As their wings stayed outstretched, soaring effortlessly through the thin air. His view of them was a fleeting one, as they fell in and out of the arms of the wispy clouds.
Am I no longer as free as them... do I really belong to everyone now, do I really owe them?? Questions that would normally never enter his selfish psyche.
I guess that is the special thing about Senjutsu training, you're not only training your body and chakra system, but your mind too. The conflicting emotions continued to swirl, drifting in and out of his consciences as the birds drifted in and out of the clouds. Everything was connected now it seemed, including Kenji to the world, compelling him to share something with it. With all these deep thoughts, the dome had lost its charm. It was ironic, Kenji always wanted to "think", take new approaches to ideas, but those approaches always found a way to benefit him. His skewed and warped philosophies had a knack of supporting his case. This impartial philosophy on the other hand, this philosophy that does the exact opposite, and supports everything but him, needed to be sidelined for a period.
He left the dome that was in a hurry, wanted to get closer to ground, and to a longing body of water. It being so long since he has the luxury of a nice walk in the sand and a dip in the ocean. There was perfect place, about 2 hours from where he was. Shaka Beach...

That was it, the realization of his new destiny, one that put others before him, a notion not too long ago he would have scoffed at. One till this very day he has trouble accepting, apparent by the need of a flashback to help remind him of his new dogma. The flutter of his lids had passed, and his vision resumed focus. Kenji followed through with his slash, delivering a full blow at Ren. However, becasuse of Ren's obvious intent on blocking, Kenji would add a little something extra to his attack. Right as the curved portion of his scythe's blade collided with Ren's weapon, an immensely powerful wall of wind infused chakra would be released with bone fracturing force, given the point blank range. Kenji didn't know if Ren was planning on doing something in conjunction with his block, but he would be in no state to execute it after being rammed with Kenji's wind technique. Ren was lucky, under normal circumstances, he was call upon his gasping speed to take advantage of the vulnerable opponent, delivering a kill shot within seconds of the blast. Unlike Ren though, Kenji would never be foolish enough to leave anything to chance. The uplifted chain had Kenji's constant attention, immediately after the scythe rammed into Ren, Kenji would slide his grip up near the middle and spin it and himself, given length and shape of the scythe, if the chain still drew closer to him, it would be repelled by the S rank weapon with ease.
Kenji would now beginning preparing his next move, while his opponent was likely busy recovering, and given Ren's small stature, it might take a while. Kenji would dedicate some time to priming his chakra for his next technique. Being able to use weapons were great, but if you do not have the supporting skills to supplement it, what good does it do? If Ren was to truly grasp Onojutsu, he would have to show that he could overcome obstacles. Never in his wildest dreams would he be in a situation or circumstance that was optimum, he would have to adapt to just about anything. Kenji hoped that his lessons would be apparent in retrospect. But for now, Kenji's mind was concentrating on gaining flawless control over his chakra.
- 250/320:
Name: Steel Grace
Rank: B
Canon/Custom: Custom
Type: Offensive
Range: 20 meters
Element: Fuuton
Specialty: Bukitjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cool Down: 5 posts
Description: Kenji releases a powerful wave of rather dense wind infused chakra from a bladed weapon of at least C rank. It contains enough force to blast through stone, obliterate earth created by C rank Doton, is able to negate C rank Raiton and is capable of blowing away weak D rank Katon and D rank Suiton. Its main use though is in its offense. A wave of this forceful gust can carve out gutters if it goes along a solid surface. The wave is invisible, but the wind generated by the jutsu can signal an opponent that something is coming, but it travels at 50 m/s, so most times it’s too late. The wave is 5 meters in radius and is capable of breaking bones on contact and knocking opponents back at least 7 meters.
This Jutsu can also be used in close range. In close, this Jutsu grants the user the ability to overwhelm anyone in close with the amount of force being released. The powerful wave can be released right as the user’s weapon is about to come in contact with an opponent’s weapon or body, using the jutsu to catch them off guard and blow them away. At this range bones can be shattered and they will be knocked back 10 meters. The injuries suffered will result in a -1 in movement speed for 2 posts
- Post of Prep will begin next post. :
Name: Bringer of Darkness
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: 0-10 meters
Specialty: Genjutsu
Duration: One post prep. Maintainable (25 chakra to activate and 20 chakra per post)
Cooldown: 6 posts
Description: This technique exerts an hallucinatory effect upon the eyesight, effectively blinding the opponent. This Genjutsu can only be broken by the victim making physical contact with the user. Although it negates sight, it does not stop the other senses. This Genjutsu is extremely powerful in the hands of a mid to long range fighter as they can attack from a distance unseen. This Genjutsu is triggered by forming the tiger hand seal and being no more than 10 meters from the opponent.
However, this great amount of chakra requires great control, a very difficult feat. The user must dedicate an entire post to generating and to flawlessly controlling the chakra. During the post of prep, the user's speed is reduced by one tier and if the user is hit with a B rank or above jutsu, the jutsu will be cancelled; if cancelled the cool down takes effect so they must wait 6 posts before they can attempt to preapare the jutsu again, -10 chakra is used during the post of preparation. If the preparation is successfull, the user has the next post to get within 10 meters (opponent must be visible to the user) and form the tiger seal to initiate the Genjutsu.
