Ayakashi
S-rank
'What happens when the absolute energy which moves the universe strikes that which is null and void?‘
Ayakashi's opponent seemed to be on point, the brief combined attack from the hunter captain, Nozomi, seemed to be sealed away at the deft fingertips of the Fuinjutsu master that stood defiantly before each of them, failing to succumb. But it seemed that there were yet more perils on the horizon. As Ayakashi turned in a brief moment to swing the Fuma shuriken away, she managed to catch a momentary glimpse of the battlefield at large. Yuki-dama, the ferocious Leonid also named Bai-hu had been cutting a swathe through the arena which had seemed to cease being a skirmish and had become a warzone. His once pure shimmering ivory fur stained crimson from the shoals of blood that seemed to have drenched the sand beyond the point it was able to absorb. Overcoming the earths' natural capacity to sweep it away, the pools of vitae intermingled as the guttural roars of the Tiger shook the hearts of men as, blade in its maw, it would strike and sever whatever it came into contact with, hunting down key ninja in the ranks of the attackers. Bai-hu had gathered that the enemy was far more coordinated than they seemed to be for men of their caliber. With a single roar and a flash of predatory intent so violent, those who could stare into the depths of the Tiger's chakra at the time would come face to face with their blood-soaked reaper as those men who stood out of the crowd would begin to drop, proving that a moment's hesitation on the battlefield spelt almost certain death.
Chakra coiling through Ayakashi's form as the voice within spoke its tantalizing jaunt. The first of Ayakashi's ice arrows seemed to be whisked away by yet another seal that Yosei drew from the seemingly limitless parchment of icons that draped across his person. His eye-opening up in a distortion of space itself as the bolt, having threatened to turn his entirety into little more than a statue resembling the former Hokage, was devoured by the seal. But in doing so, Ayakashi could not help but think, if only she could draw a blade across his skin, she would render almost every tool at his disposal null and void... Ayakashi needed more power, each item or weapon he sealed within his person was a blade that cut at the prideful soul of the Mizukage, enraging the bull as the matador would attempt to deliver her death by a thousand cuts... Vanishing from sight to seek a better angle, Ayakashi would appear skyward in place of her shuriken, soaring above the battlefield once again, gaining the chance to see the truest extent of the conflict that warred on beneath them... and war it did. Expanding into almost every direction as far as the eye could see, ninja fought against trained assailants of the sands. The air itself was alive with chakra, so much so that in her Sage mode, she could feel the breath of something massive and sinister beyond the veil pass her by, the eyes of giants upon her as she drew her next spear.
The arrow of the just launched from her platform at an increased pace, plummeting to earth in an attempt to skewer the shadow of flame that stood below her. Truly a clash between titans, the divine titan lashed out with purest crystal, descending in a crown of halos that framed the sun in a picturesque scene giving a sense of beauty in an ironic spite of the hellscape that lay beneath. A hellscape in which Yosei stood, the infernal titan clawing up at the heavens standing upon an island surrounded in rivers of blood and entrails, staring into the clear sapphire sky before coiling his blade into its sheath. Drawing it with a spark of infinity as the limitless electrical creation which bound the universe lept upwards raking its irradiant claw across the heavens in a scar that screamed with an eagles' cry. The shriek of the screaming lash shattering the technique of Ayakashi's design, splintering it into a thousandfold pieces that cascaded across the grisled earth beneath her, each shard detonating its portion of chakra into small flowers in the bloodsoaked rivers that lay around them, freezing them into ruby lotuses upon small shelves which dotted the landscape's lakes in their thousands.
But the crying blade that soared high into the skies bloodlust had not abated, its infinite power that encapsulated the raw spark of potential at the birth of all things sought to dethrone the goddess who floated high above them. Her bow hastily collapsing into that of a blade as she drew it to her side and clutched it tightly, chakra flowing through it in turn. As her chakra permeated through the weapon, a still rumble juxtaposed the cry of the brilliant blade before her, not because it bore sound, but because it was a source of true and perfect silence that stood in contrast to takas' chaos. As Taka's immanent rending stroke sought to overwhelm the Shadow of the Mist upon her golden throne, she would lash out with the opposite of what stood before her. Drawing her blade in a slash which mimicked the inception of Yosei's lightning, a wave of black hiemal energy would eclipse Ayakashi's form, devouring all light and revealing nothing beyond it as creation itself froze before it, stilling all of the forces that be. Limitless unfettered potential rising from the depths of creation and absolute void unleashed from the divine that stood above it were about to collide.
'Leaving only the question of... what happens?'
As the blasts came together there was no rumbling explosion that split the heavens and the earth, there was no tear that threatened to devour all those in attendance. As Yin and Yang collided with the opposing forces meeting in the middle, they became one. The blinding whiteness of the Raiton crashing against what refused to be lit as they merged together violently, curving symbolically around one another in a flicker of an instant before the two forces embraced each other like lost brothers. To say they were each nullified was a half-truth, perhaps more truthful to say; they were completed... but to those who would gaze upon them, they would flicker in an instant with a flash at its epicenter before ceasing to exist in the next. A thunderous silence erupting in the absence of Takas' hawk-like cry as it was contented by an opposing absolute silence
Landing twenty meters away, Ayakashi could not help but muse at the fact that the sound of Taka was something she remembered unleashed upon the wars against Seven Bells and his Lieutenants. If there was ever a semblance of doubt that the man that stood before her was indeed Mitsuhide, it had been devoured by the evidence that attempted to scorch the skies. The distinct echo that expanded for miles was unmistakable to all those who had heard it before, as well as the eyes of its wielder. But he hadn't aged a day... The man had for a moment flashed a look which resembled the Mitsuhide she remembered, giving her hope in that fleeting moment before the wave of controlling calm washed that passionate face away. Mitsuhide was once a man of uncontrollable rampaging zeal, something that drew Ayakashi towards him as a leader, having learned a lot from his example in governing her own nation, she felt betrayed when that noble man was so easily washed away with an exertion of control. It was her first reaction to become angered, but it quickly stilled, she didn't recognize this calm stranger, though seeing his true face so genuinely doubted her that it was false, but rather restrained with perfect self-control. Whatever had happened to him, it was undoubtedly that he had changed...
'He wasn't the Mitsuhide she knew anymore.'
Changeling warped into the shape of her bow once again, her Senjutsu eating through the bonds that had tethered the demonic ice venom that coursed through her veins, crumbling the ethereal chains and allowing the flow of chakra to activate through her body again, spreading the poisonous tendrils into the earth at her feet with each and every step she took, expanding a little further and gripping whatever came into contact with them as if it were attempting to drag everything it could clutch towards it in an effort to consume all it could with its icy grip. Changeling in one hand with nothing in her other, an immense chakra would begin to form in the kage's right fist. Streaks of steam expanding backward like a tailed comet as she would burst toward her opponent. The being within beginning to take more and more control of Ayakshi as the battle went on, so much so that the ice that Ayakashi continued to form began to cease to become even... the more she created the more course it seemed to become...
"I don't know what happened to you to make you become this Mitsuhide... you used to be so righteous, and full of passion. But now, it's like it's dead, or imprisoned by whatever dark motive holds sway over you... Whatever it is, I promise, I'll either shatter the bonds that bind you, or I'll shatter you and preserve what legacy can be salvaged from the shards."
Taking a running step, Ayakashi would vanish from sight, using the mastery of her own speed to vanish in such a controlled fashion by manipulating her Tenketsu in such a manner that she would veritably appear several meters behind Yosei. The distinct sound of her arrival immediately identifiable and his eyes more than capable of tracking her heading though not move in time with her speed. However, rather than attack her opponent directly from his rear, she would seek to predict that he would see through such a basic technique, more than capable of easily turning to face her after her personage had faded from his sights. Ayakashi would attempt to evade his vision, noting that as he might turn, she would sharply dart in tandem with his spin to hug his flank as he might move to the sound of the noise, keeping out of his immediate line of sight as well his customary low stance before leaping forward and cascading down with her Yuki-Oni no Ken! Intending to slam her fist into Yosei's ribs with such force that the pulse that emitted from it would seek to ensnare everything in its path and instantly douse any flames that would hope to leap from his skin moments after they attempted to exist. Failing that, Aya would follow through to collide with the earth they stood on. Should the blow meet the earth, there would be a distinct change to the ice Ayakashi formed, as almost thorned vine-like protrusions expanding along the surface of the hyouton, expanding across its surface with the massive release as Ayakashi seemed to seek to bring a forest of blades in her wake expanding in every direction with the kiss of any of her frigid chakra. The thorned vines seeking to wrap around and penetrate any living thing that they could grow around.
Regardless of the result, she would charge backward realizing only now that she was nearing the last of her family arrows, Aya would knock several, allowing five of them to fly in the direction of her opponent in a single parallel cluster, coiling and swerving with the flutter waltz technique to avoid all but the finest interception before breaking out in five separate directions. Each of the arrows intending to land about four meters away from his position at the moment of impact, each aimed for the ground all around him in an attempt to hold him in place. The archer knowing that if he should attempt to step on the ice or come into contact with the vines as it continued to spread and grow it would also spread up and along his body, hoping to grapple him for what came next, as a sixth arrow would be fired holding the dramatic pulse of the Demonic Ice Corruption technique for the center of his chest. The streaking mist of the arrow overwhelmed with a vast amount of Hyouton chakra spinning towards his chest as if it were to drill through it as the wind tunnel it flew through to keep it straight coiled like a linear cyclone towards its target.
The Demon-Ice-Witch would hold from the combination of attacks for a moment should her vision be clouded by the multiple pulses of her ice release. Should he evade them all however as unscathed as he was up until now, sealing them all away of weaving between them, cowardice in stark contrast to his former demeanor in the Seven Bells War, Ayakashi would finally have reached her final straw. Dropping changeling as the vines that continued to grow and spread around her would rise to clutch it as if their erratic and seemingly random growth were under the command of the womans' will. Slowly bringing her right arm forward, bending at the knees Aya would brace herself for what was to come. Steadying her wrist with her left hand, the Mizukage would lock eyes with Mitsuhide, her senjutsu chakra beginning to accumulate around her, before with a single command the emerald light erupted in a phantasmal pillar. Sure enough, following the spectacle small red orbs of purest chakra began to drip from her skin, running along her arm to her palm while small blue orbs began to be drawn in from the world around her within her aura, drawn to the red orbs as they amassed in a bubbling black center. More and more would begin to converge as Ayakashi drew her Hyouton's Yin release as well as the Yang release from her Senjutsu chakra, stripping them of any unneeded qualities and combining them together in a perfect ratio. Years of study into the nature of chakra, into history, into the movers and shifters of the universe to uncover the tenants of this technique... it all led to this moment.
As the ball began to expand, the ground around her would begin to split and crack, the power and influence of the orbs mass expanding as the Mizukage sought to compress the sphere into a more and more dense shape. The weight of the orbs' colossal volume as well as the power it radiated creating a crater within the ice in which Ayakashi stood seeking to sink her, only to be constantly broken and knitted together again by Ayakashi's demonic ice corruption technique, whose maintenance seemed to be the only reason why the weight of the sphere in her hands failed to cause her to be simply eaten by the shifting sands. For the first time in what felt like years, Aya found herself straining, her body feeling like it stood on a knifes' edge towards tearing apart under the weight of the orb in her hands as she fought to compress it into little more than a ten inch wide sphere, crackling with energy as it neared its completion and began to stabilize into a perfect globe. "With this sphere, I wield the will of my nation, to see a just world where no-one is beyond the reach of law. To create a world where all people can feel safe. That is the will of water... that is my ninja way! I dare you to show me yours!"
Leaning forward first, Aya would allow gravity to do the work for her as her posture would drop, her heel raising as she angled down to have the vines of her technique rise beneath it as she bent at the knees, bracing it and allowing her a platform to thrust of, the muscles in her legs fighting against the tonnage of the volatile cargo she carried in a single hand as she would put all of her strength into her legs. Bounding off with everything she had the earth and ice beneath and behind her would erupt into a wave of glistening shards of frozen sand reflecting the light around her like a prism of brilliant colors as she would charge head-first towards her enemy. Each step saw ice expand around her foot to create a platform, and as she pushed off it with all her power, that platform would detonate like crystal into little more than dust and shards bathing all that was behind Ayakashi in a symphony of light and color. A veritable cornucopia.
"Seal this! BIMUJUDAMA!!!"
With a final call, she would thrust out her arm holding a pale reflection of the strength that was once wielded by great beasts of negative chakra that walked the land. Only one ninja in the ninja world had seen this technique, but this was its global reveal. Ayakashi's ace in the hole, a revelation the likes of which had seldom been seen in three hundred years. Without any considerable knowledge of ninjutsu, Ayakashi was unable to project it or maintain its integrity in a way that she would like, but, with her unparalleled finesse in chakra flow, with her unprecedented speed closing the gap between them as she would reach out with her right hand to erase all evil that stood before her, she would seek to shatter any singular technique that could not stand against it. Let him put up barriers aplenty, Ayakashi could not wait to see the blood drain from his face as her tailless beast bomb would shatter them one after another before slamming the orb directly into his chest, and hurling him with it across the sands and into the heart of his troops before it exploded while using the force of the throw to push herself back and away also to steer clear of what was to follow.

Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: S
Type: Offensive
Element: Hyouton.
Range: 30m
Specialty: Bukijutsu OR Buki / Senjutsu
Duration: 1-2 or 3
Cool-down: 6
Description: Aya using the full power of her Hyouton imbalance creates a singularity of pure Yin chakra incarnated in her Hyouton. Drawing the blade in a single strike launches a 2" thick projectile 45-degree arc of void-like black-with-purple almost fire like energy edging it at 70mp/s which freezes everything it comes into contact with before the intense cold rips the substance to pieces on an atomic level. Making it seem to detonate and turning all it touches into crystalline dust shrapnel due to the frigid temperatures and purple fire which feels hot to the touch and can cause 4th-degree frost burns.
This technique can be channeled with an additional 2 extra posts so long as it is not used in order to increase its range and area. After the first turn of sustaining the technique, release increases the thickness of the wave to 1m and its maximum arc to 180 degrees. Finally after a second turn the arc increases to 2m in width and has a maximum arc of 270 degrees. (While this technique is being channeled, the user cannot activate other techniques or move past the base movement speed for their speed tier, lest it break their concentration.)

Duration: Maintainable
Cooldown: Maintained Duration x2
Ayakashi with her inward chakra creates a controlled yet violent imbalance within her internal Hyouton chakra, dropping its as well as her bodies' temperature to degrees far below zero. This intense cold is enough to cause chain reactions as Ayakashi unconsciously and constantly flows this chakra from her body into her environment as well as hyouton techniques she comes into contact with much in the same way one would do with a weapon. This causes the freezing effects to spread over any surface(s) through contact with Ayakashi or her Hyouton chakra at 5/10/15/20 meters per second over 1/2/3.5/5m radii (depending on the rank this jutsu is activated.) as it creeps outwards slowly like a venom. If this technique is flown through a weapon on contact, Aya can choose to imbue it with this effect, allowing it to act as if it were Aya making contact.
Pulse: Additionally, at the cost of -5/-10/-15/-15 extra chakra, once every two posts Ayakashi is capable of pooling this extra chakra into a location within her Tenketsu or a weapon and releasing it at will or impact violently as a translucent explosion-like pulse of Hyouton capable of damaging barrier jutsu and freezing what it touches on contact with the same damage as the standard on-contact damage of its rank. The pulses expand at 10/20/30/40 meters per second with damaging radii of 3/5/10/20m depending on the rank currently active.
*Weapons with the pulse charged within them detonate on impact.

Description: A ninja trained in this technique, on defensive reflex alone is able to move from point A to point B near instantly with exxxtreme speed. However, through higher levels of chakra control, and though shorter range, the user is able to use the technique in conflict. Requiring the user to pick and state a location within range in a straight line the ninja moves to that location almost faster than the eye can see. creating a concussive 1m radius blast of force when they arrive at their location, capable of knocking a ninja back but dealing no damage beyond light bruising. A ninja using this technique cannot attack en route to their location, high speeds making any attempt at movement or striking impossible, however, upon appearing they are able to follow up with techniques normally. (A ninja seeing this can perceive the user's movement with S rank perception.)

Range: 40 meter
Specialty: Taijutsu or Tai / Senjutsu
Duration: 1 post

Description:
A massive sum of Hyoton & Demon ice power is stored in the right arm of the user and is driven into a solid object with colossal force, capable of creating a five-meter radius crater as the energy is released. The result is a ripple which blasts out as a dome-like a sound wave at 70mp/s, capable freezing every living thing within its 40m radii for 3 posts, during which those frozen are prone to shattering, but are very much alive and preserved.
After the initial wave, if a variant of the Demonic Ice corruption technique is active, the ice created by this technique will continue to creep outwards, clinging to any non-yuki it touches or who comes into contact with it at 20mp/s for a further 80m over 2 posts. This effect seeks to grapple and freeze opponents in place for the remaining duration.

Description: (Costs: 45 chakra, +5 for senjutsu and 1 turn to charge.)
Aya, clasping her hands together, draws in the Senjutsu chakra from her surrounding area and mixes it with her own KKG chakra imbalance in an 8:2 ratio, creating what appears to be a ten inch diameter, solid black incredibly dense orb with blue lines of chakra swirling around inside it which powerful enough that even Aya struggles to hold onto it, the orb potentially cracking the earth under the user as it forms due to the weight and power. The forces within the orb are highly volatile making it able to penetrate a ninja on impact as a visual effect before exploding, however, it requires the user's physical contact in order to maintain as a solid orb, and even then requiring great duress and concentration ... ...
Once the technique is let go of, the orb destabilizes, becoming a violent bomb of pure chakra, allowing the user and all others 2.5 seconds to clear the ensuing blast zone, which expands to a colossal 50m spherical radius blast of raw chakra and force which the user is not immune to ... the wave travels at 50mp/s and obliterates everything it touches within the inner 25m of the radius, and shatters bones and throws objects and ninja up to 100m away if caught within the outer 25m of the explosion radius when victims are caught in the hurricane-like force.
On a direct hit from the inner explosion, this technique is able to shatter through Defensive techniques unless they have an equal or higher chakra cost than this technique (50 chakra), though the outer explosion emanating 'from' the orb can be blocked normally.
(Although hyouton chakra is used in the conception of this technique, as it only uses the Yin portion within hyouton chakra, it bares no cold or ice based features, therefore classifying it as N/A element, generating simply sheer force and power.)
