「 Yakekoge Forest, Summer 」
Slinking away from the administration building, the red-eyed shinobi made his descent into a graceful series of leaps atop the Konohagakure rooftops. With only the slightest crack in the navy sky to herald moonlight, the Hidden Leaf was marred by deep trenches of shadow which became of its streets, sun away so long the streetlamps had been snuffed, and darkness ruled the city. Across the sparsely silver canopy, a stroke of black ink worked its trail through the lonely town toward the walls encircling its serenity. Kirei's assignment found him undercover, but not in the bowels of some enemy nation conspiring to topple kings and orchestrate the end of wars. Instead, the Uchiha made his way into the Konoha ANBU corps, assigned to utilize their resources and build for himself a network of contacts large enough that he could keep track of ongoings throughout the Hidden Leaf, on behalf of his superiors. This mission meant that the Jonin was free to operate throughout Konoha with his identity intact, it was no great leap of logic that the son of an ANBU captain would one day join the ranks of Black Ops for themselves, and Kirei had proven throughout his time in Kiri that the Hidden Leaf could use his strength.
This evening, Kirei blazed a path toward the forest, homing in on a nest of spies and information brokers trading laundry lists of dirty secrets beneath the cover of darkness and isolation. Swooping with his eyes across the treetops, Kirei perched for precious few seconds on the wall of his city and pushed off toward the branches and obscured green foliage which in the night's embrace appeared to be a rolling cloud of pitch black mist. Into the roil, Kirei's stride leaping through the brush across outstretched arms of bark skeletons which zig-zagged in rickety bridges barely supported by the featherweight touch of the Uchiha's chakra, which coated his feet as he bound through the river of charcoal. Emerging at times, the twin scarlet orbs which shone from beneath the cat-faced agent's mask, and the cloak which blended into the sable horizon which enclosed around his road to midnight's buried secrets. Gloved fingers gripped at the heft of a branch as Kirei's body fell, swinging with the momentum and soaring toward the ground where he lost no speed and cascaded into a pool which matched the shroud of nothingness, coursing through the blades of grass as a wave of tendrils while his Sharingan sifted through the trove of poorly concealed treasures planted throughout the forest. Spying the formations of chakra welling on the peripherals of his dojutsu's field of view, Kirei's movement dulled to a crawl, creeping through the spaces left open between blades of grass and pooling in the masses of shadowy depths which lurked in every direction.
Congregating at the edge of a stream, the parted trees made for a grand stage of moonlight upon which the spies enacted their treachery. Kirei watched through the veil of his jutsu's concealment, Sharingan inscribing the movements of the men's lips and gleaning what they could from the letters and scrolls exchanged between them, memorizing the symbols, dates, and iconography to be checked later against the database available to him by way of the ANBU's resources. Staking claim to the darkness that was his technique's namesake, Kirei observed, formless eyes flickering through the trees as wind, until the focus of its ire turned to whirling silver stars hurtling through the darkness. Between them, a single bright flash was enough to force the Uchiha's technique to waver, and he danced backward, pivoting on deft feet before the Sharingan found its mark, identifying the darting streak of blue light from which the assault came. At the riverbank, the teen's targets scattered, running the length of the river before some crossed, while others doubled back into the vast forests surrounding them. The Uchiha, grimacing, rolled between another volley of threatening steel and cut the angle between predator and prey with the trunk of a venerable oak. Performing a hand seal with his dominant hand, Kirei would sling a quartet of shuriken strung together with wire into his left. Without pausing for more than half a second, Kirei's chakra had already kneaded itself into the air and begun its work, pulsing from the Uchiha's body and mapping the surrounding forest. Imprints of scrambling retreats, and the outline of his assailant became clear. With no banners, this mercenary shinobi, it stood to reason, had been hired by the troupe to watch over their communion and the rookie ANBU operative had failed to scout the area efficiently enough.
Kirei's assault came in tandem with a flourish of his cape, leaping into a cartwheel while unleashing the projectiles toward the man in black who lurked in his Sharingan's relentless focus. Sparks flew from the edge of a drawn tanto, clanging metallic sounds echoing in the silent woods, causing nocturnal birds to chirp and flutter away, what few there were. Upon one another, the two shinobi came with careful strikes, Kirei striking first with the hand gripping webs of razor wire and darting toward the ground, sliding while drawing forth the edge of Kuon, masked entirely in the midnight gloom. Responding, the Uchiha's target would leap and grasp the hanging branch of trees above them, tugging himself into the bosom of the canopy to stare down directly into the eyes of his ANBU-masked opponent, narrowing his eyes at the Sharingan which returned his gaze. The rush of clanging and cracked wood accompanied the eerily still Fire Country night poorly, cutting abstract worries in the peaceful nation's still.

Description: After performing the Seal of Confrontation, the user begins this technique by sending out waves of chakra from their body which contort to the shape of any physical matter they touch while expanding to their maximum range of 70m. This technique relays information of the environment directly to the user, effectively drawing them a three-dimensional map of the area within this technique's radius. By focusing on a particular target (single person, building, etc) the user is able to send these chakra waves through clothes and walls to create impressions of people's faces even through masks or other clothing, or map the interior of a building while scouting.
