When the comforts of civilization begin to dull our senses, we must never forget that in the beginning, there was war. And war. And more war. Long before there were empires, there were humans consumed with greed and the hunger for power. Resources, territories, information—these were the forms of sustenance upon which we preyed. Today, we call such habits vices. Oh, how arrogant we have become! Are we not still impelled by those primordial emotions? Is the advent of war so far-fetched? But alas, for you to truly understand, we must dive deeper into this land’s half-forgotten past.
There was a time when might was the only law that humankind knew. Fearsome clans roamed throughout the land, seeking amenable grounds within which they could take root and opposing forces against whom they could test their mettle. Given the irregularity of nature’s bounty, certain regions appealed more than others, and dominion over such coveted territories became the spark that ignited the earliest inter-clan wars. These fierce, internecine affairs tended to conclude only when one side had decimated their competition into oblivion, and many clans of story were rendered extinct during this period.
The victors of war, having claimed their territories, often made truces with surrounding locals, offering protection in exchange for access to the yields of agriculture. Over time, certain communities emerged as more dominant than others, either due to numbers or sheer talent, and their rapid expansion would force smaller, neighboring communities to either collapse into their fold or be devastated. When the dust settled, humankind found itself divided into the five major territories that we are familiar with today. And was the bloodshed over? With our lands obtained and our bellies filled, were we finally content?

"My god, he never mentioned it would take more than a week to extract this thing," Myaku exclaimed in frustration.[break][break]
"And he didn't say it wouldn't take a week either, did he, Myaku?" retorted his companion.[break][break]
"Well, this isn't good. I think the Raikage has caught wind of our location. There's a large group of people converging on this stronghold, Myaku. I'm not sure how this will play out. Maybe we should have started with smaller targets," Ushinawareta expressed her concerns.[break][break]
"Eh, I mean, the point is to make their lives difficult. Even if we walk away without our intended target, killing this kid will surely put the Kage on notice," Myaku responded, maintaining his resolve.[break][break]
In a dimly lit room, the duo stood over an unconscious body, their hands outstretched. It had been three days since they had captured the shinobi, embarking on this risky process. Myaku and Ushinawareta were entrusted with the mission to capture a specific Cloud shinobi, and they had succeeded.[break][break]
"If we have to, we can retreat. But first, we can sound the alarms to buy ourselves some more time," Ushinawareta suggested, speaking softly to her partner as they continued to focus on breaking the seal.[break][break]
"Alright, give me two seconds," Myaku replied calmly.[break][break]
Without moving a muscle, Myaku utilized a special technique to project his voice throughout the entire building.[break][break]
"Generals, send your troops to the front entrance! We've got company. Ensure they don't interrupt our process," his commanding voice resonated throughout the building, causing all the initiates to spring into action. They swiftly evacuated the premises, moving in unison.[break][break]
"This should give us some time. I'll keep an eye out for any real trouble," Ushinawareta stated, her senses heightened as she heard the alarm blaring.[break][break]

[break][break] As the brown sandy platform floated in the air, the windy air of the lightning country caused his skin to prickle as his black irises scanned the fortress twenty meters ahead of him. The skies above him were dark and windy. His eyes focused on the sky for a moment, as he pulled his right-hand thumb up to his lips his tongue licked the tip of his thumb as he pulled it up to the air. The wind blowing from the left indicated that any storms that may be coming would miss them. He would rest his hand back down to his side as the platform would lower above a branch Shinji hopped off the platform of sand onto the branch with chakra in the soles of his black sandals keeping him on the branch. Shinji was flanked with an all-black sleeveless cloak as the gourd was strapped to his back with a red sash crossing over his chest from the right, the hood up to cover his face as his black pants covered him well. The Sunagakure metal headband is tied around his neck to protect the vitals of his neck. His long black hair accompanied by two strains of hair ponytail sideburns rested at the sides of his face.
[break][break] As the sand started to dissipate from the platform disappeared quickly into pebbles of sand collecting back into his gourd. Almost effortlessly, he is still learning about this sand deal and how it operates. As Shinji scanned the area, he noticed no one was around but him for now. His eyes could see a stone fortress ahead and it gave him an ominous feeling. This is also his first time in the lightning country. Totally different environment from the sandy oasis and heat that is Sunagakure. As he stood on the branch which was twenty meters to the right of the stone palace.
[break][break] "I wonder what is going on in that temple."
[break][break] The Uchiha had time to sit in his thoughts for a moment, with faint feelings of doubt and the same old feelings of not wanting to be here. Not wanting to be alive. But he has tried to take his own life before. But this goddamn Sand won't let him. His eyes glanced down at his hand. I failed before, will I fail again this time when it comes to...his mind went to that night burned into his mind like a Genjutsu he can't dispel. The blood covered the floor. Her lifeless body. The smell tickled his nose, that stench of death he would never forget. The look on her face was empty of life. Shinji closed his eyes for a moment as he can hear a bombastic laughter in his ears as he squinted his eyes closed, wishing it would all stop. He bit his lip as he thought blood would start to trickle down his right lip. However, it was sand that started to crackle down onto the tree below him. That was enough for him to push it out of his mind. He opened his eyes, touching his fingers to his lips with his left hand as the sand started to reform. For a moment he was wondering what the hell is going on. His stone-cold glare back again, it's like he is just a robot nowadays. The boy operates like a machine on an auto-pilot. Someday he will have to confront this head-on. And, that day he wonders what he will do. He felt a gamut of emotions, hatred. sorrow. sadness. placing blame on himself. But, for now, that has all been washed away. Washed away for this mission. Washed away hoping they look down upon him and understand that whatever happens, it's what he had to do. And, when he sees them again perhaps they can live in peace. But there is no peace here on earth for him. His fist clenched tight when he thought of his brother. That bastard.

Blah

here was a constant, pulsating hum of villainy that reverberated from the walls of Ishi no Toride. This was not his first time infiltrating a stronghold of such wicked intent, but the depth of malevolence he sensed here was uniquely unnerving. Despite the weight of the situation, his resolve was firm. For every heartbeat of trepidation, there was a roar of courage and determination in response.
Yusuke had been silently tracking the movements of the foot soldiers, noting the schedules of the high-ranking generals. Yusuke knew he needed to find these villains, to unveil their true plot before it came to fruition.
Fate smiled upon him one night when a sudden flurry of activity gripped the fortress. The alarm rang out, a loud, booming command echoing through the stone chambers. The soldiers were mobilized towards the front entrance. A diversion, perhaps?
Yusuke remained in the shadows, waiting for backup of fellow shinobi who had answered the call of the Raikage or Kazekage. As Yusuke steeled himself for the battle ahead, his gaze fell on his attire, a testament to his preparedness for combat. His outfit and equipment were prepared without compromising on flexibility and agility.
Along his forearms, he wore durable vambraces, their sturdy design an additional safeguard against potential damage in close combat. His Sunagakure headband was securely stowed away. He didn’t want any foreign enemies knowing of his true allegiance as he was one of the few here on behalf of the Kazekage. He didn’t want any risk or retaliation against the Village of the Sand.
Slung securely at his side was his ninjato, a weapon that had seen him through countless battles. In addition to his ninjato, he had his trusty Bowie knife secured at his side, its sturdy handle within easy reach. Ideal for close combat, the knife was a reliable companion in a pinch, its sharp edge promising a quick resolution to any confrontation.
The samurai had been wading through the thick forested area of Kaminari no Kuni for a while now after his introduction to a young shinobi named Xio. As he got deeper into the thicket of trees, they would open up into a steep mountainous area with varied vegetation littered about and what seemed to be a towering structure anchored some ways above. Shinosuke had not initially noticed the fortress that stood above him and was rightfully puzzled when it appeared from almost no where. Taking his first steps upwards, he noticed his breathing was getting a little harder to maintain as he rose through the mountain. The air itself began to thin the higher he elevated, taking some time for him to adjust to as time passed. [break][break]
Rearing closer to the structure, well within a decent view of the building, Shinosuke felt an almost menacing presence immediately enveloping him. His immediate reaction was to snatch his two katana from their sheathes in anticipation of an attack but caught himself as his hands gripped their hilts. His armor underneath his black robes had made a slight clank sound as the metal shifted across another to accommodate the swift movements made. Taking a snappy glance in every direction he could without completely turning around didn’t amount to much for him. He couldn’t readily notice anything other than the building itself nor did he remotely notice the two other individuals who had arrived before him. For all the samurai knew, he was alone in this moment of dread.[break][break]
Almost as if on queue, signs of life began to rustle through the building when Shinosuke reverted his attention to the fortress. Alarms and a voice that was drowned out by those same blaring alarms echoed throughout its structure. No longer vexed by the feeling he previously held, Shinosuke was sure in his soul that he had tripped some sort of defense system that alerted others to his general presence. The samurai acted with a hustle he hadn’t used since training with his father, lighting a raging fire within him to immediately break from open view of the building. Keeping a tree and some various vegetation separating him from what seemed to be the nearest entrance, Shinosuke returned his hands to the hilts of his katana on both sides of his hip.[break][break]

Kaori frowns to herself after passing through the barrier; it wasn't all that difficult, but it left a feeling like static clinging to her skin and caused her thick plumage of two-tone hair to rise, and she had to momentarily tug it back down, dissipating the residual energy that clung to it. With the dark and blonde coloration clashing with one another, it was a pretty eye-catching look, but the clanless young woman wasn't the type to mind if someone caught sight of her. Her eventual goal was to become a famous pop idols, after all. Still, she wore mostly dark clothing, which would certainly help her blend in with more shady environments; her dark gray hoodie hid her lithe body from view, though with it open in the front, one would get quite a view of skin around her crop top, with the lightness of her skin muted by a grey mesh. Her shorts and leggings were a similar dark tone, along with darker nin-shoes on her feet. The only metal she wore was the Konoha headband worn similarly to a dog collar tight around her neck.
Once through the barrier, she could actually see others now; one with a strange-looking gourd on his back and a ponytail, one with odd braces on his arms and a ninjato like the one hanging from her waist on her left side, one in black robes with two blades of his own. She can't see the fourth person, a woman like herself, but she can hear the alarum blaring from the building and the trampling of feet through the stone tunnel, although they were probably lying several meters away.
She grunts softly to herself, wondering if she should pre-emptively throw a smoke grenade in, then decides against it; it could make it far harder for all of them to go in if they can't see through the smoke, either. She instead reaches up to fiddle with the round metal ball earring she'd chosen to wear in her left ear, matching the one in her right lobe.
"Ugh, the things I'll do for cash and recognition. Okay, boys, do we want to crush them in the tunnel and clear out the rock afterwards or do we want a barbecue inside? There's not a lot of air inside, so I could just as easily consume all the air in there with a good fireball."
She speaks aloud, having to speak up just a bit louder than her usual speaking voice to be heard over the alarm from inside the odd-looking temple. The shouts from inside and the clapping of feet against stone is getting closer and louder all the time, but someone experienced would be able to tell by the echoes that they have at least a little time to prepare a strategy. It seemed she didn't mind much if they knew which village she came from; it might even be good for peace-making if they were all from different villages.

“
It should've been no surprise that the princess of the fallen Minamino clan would run the moment Kumogakure had begun rallying support to their cause. This was exactly what she had desired her whole life, nothing could be any more perfect! All her life, all she had wanted to do and her parents wanted was for her to succeed and become famous in the Shinobi World. Though she was trying, she had spent much of the last few months tinkering away at her toys and stockpiling as many weapons as she could manage. Now was the moment that she could finally strike out, and make a name for herself! Ambition oozed from Honoka, as she steadily made her way to the stone fortress that was to be their assault point.
Inside of a bush, she waited patiently for some sort of catalyst that would make her and others move into action. The anxiety was taking hold in a good way, but she didn't want that itch to make her trigger happy. On her back, she shuffled a bit and made sure that the Miko Operative tied on her back was still there and safe. If anything happened to her, it would bother her on too many levels to count! Though she wished there was someone to joke around with, she was all business as she prepared for the ensuing battle.
On both of her sides were scroll holsters, one hiding an extra puppet and the other a multitude of weapons. She didn't want to be left defenseless if anything happened to her babies, so she had to take every precaution before she left. The pride of her village, her parents, and herself were on the line. She had to make sure that everyone would see her shine. She had tied up her large, wavy pink locks ahead of time and ensured that most of it was tucked under her combination hat/headband. Her signature white dressings were rather noticeable when she wasn't hiding inside of a bush, but she just had to believe that she would make sure any who saw her were put down.
"Who'll make the first move?!" she mused, silently, hoping no one would hear her.

A golden branch with jaded leaves.
Another day, another mission. This was all banal to Kiyomi at this point as she'd spent the past decade doing missions for the hidden leaf... but this new assignment was different. It included any and all villages willing to help and that always led to messy situations and petty debacles that she honestly had no interest in. When it came to the hidden leaf and their shinobi she would personally see to it that they were safe when all was said and done if things did go south. However she tried to clear her mind of negative thoughts.
Now was a time for action. . . and she was fully prepared.
While her face was hidden by a solid white featureless mask, Kiyomi's svelte frame was hugged by a black turtle neck sweater atop her standard shinobi mesh with matching black pants that gripped her ankles but allowed lots of movement for her flexible physique. Fingerless black gloves, wooden geta on her feet and her hair pulled back neatly into a low ponytail accompanied with various braids on the side for styling. One couldn't look like shit while cleaning the world of it after all. She finished her ensemble with a custom colored jade flak jacket that rested on her torso and a similarly colored leaf headband wrapped around her waist, dangling a bit on the left side like a high fashion belt.
The arsenal she brought with her however was for a far less 'fashionable' task. Her nodachi strapped to her right hip with her khopesh holstered on the left, a ninja tool pouch on her lower back to house the assortment of projectile packs she carried with a few extras held in her flak jacket. She even had her kiri-oni, or ninja claw, strapped on her right hand ready for whatever fight was soon to come. Which seemed to be a lot sooner than she estimated.
The woman had traveled to the Land of Lightning ahead of a group of Konoha shinobi and scoped out the area, although she hadn't had much time there was one thing she did notice. Whatever was going on inside that stronghold felt disturbing, it made her clutch her own stomach as if her beast was clawing at her from the inside to help whoever was inside... or maybe it was just tummy rumblings?
"How about we let them make the first move? Assuming it still pays off to assess threats..." She spoke sarcastically to the younger woman, gliding down from a tree to the ground beneath standing a few feet from Kaori. Of course she didn't expect anyone to recognize her in this attire but it was obvious that she was seasoned and recognizing her as one of the prospects for her own team, now was as good a time as any to see what she could do in the field. Naturally she would subconsciously make it a goal to protect her from any lethal direct attacks, and so she would step in front of her a bit and waited for the approaching threat that was coming.
The cacophony of footsteps approaching with a few battle cries following suit caused Kiyomi's grip on her weapon to tighten a bit. It was time to begin...
Y’all are 50 meters away, and have plenty time to react to what’s going on.. Work together, and you’ll be fine!
This is our POV you guys are coming from the cliff they're attacking from the roof side.
The castle quaked under the weight of an imminent threat as a resounding voice pierced through its stone walls, accompanied by blaring alarms that echoed through the fortress. War had arrived!
“THEY ARE CONVERGING ON THE CASTLE, PLEASE REPORT TO THE NEAREST GENERAL, I REPEAT SHINOBI ARE CONVERGING ACROSS THE WATERS TO THE CASTLE.”
A loud voice boomed throughout the fortress while the loud alarm rang singling everyone to arms, it was time for war!
“We shall not fall short, Stand firm! Let none pass!” the commanding voice boomed, instilling a fierce determination in the defenders.
Preparing for this moment since the day they moved into ishi no toride, Myaku & Ushinawareta Despite being engrossed in their own affairs, they were aware that such a situation could arise. As the alarm rang, grunts and generals alike hustled into formations as they got ready for the assault, properly informed by their leaders there were two parties of shinobi converging on the castle from different directions.
“It’s our time to shine!”
A general called out to a small platoon of men and women as they stood out on the top balcony above the front entrance. Quickly arranging on the rooftop while flowing throw a set of similar seals, or well to some degree anyway. These people had no redeeming qualities that the shinobi could assess with the regular eye due to the fact they were all dressed in similar uniforms. But, there was at least 12 people total visibly out to face their opposition today, the group on the east cliffside. This gave them the look of fluidity as they separated into two diamond formations equally atop the entrance as they rounded out their handseals.
Initially, the group that moved to the left side of the roof finished out their handseals first. The three that headed the diamond they formed initially, would fire off Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu in unison creating a veil of mist instead of aiming for a specific target. Following its completion the other 3 antagonists would step in front of them, hands clasp over their mouths blowing a wall of flame the inferno merged with their own innate abilities and the mist created by their allies, intensifying its destructive power of this wall of fire.
Of course, that wasn’t the end there was still another diamond, fueled by the motivation of their leaders these grunts came for war and these shinobi would get it. As the wall of fire extended towards the cliffside pretty much dwarfing it in comparison, they provided it with another boost of power! In Unison from the opposite side of the diamond who laid down the first assault, a large wave of wind increased the size, power, and damage ability of the massive fireball the men were generating.
“Dai Kamaitachi”
They would mutter to themselves as they waved their arms in a synchronized fashion allowing the flames to be fueled with their cutting winds. It wouldn’t take long for this massive fire wall fueld with cutting winds to rip across the distance that separated them from their foes. If uninterrupted the wall of fire would crash into the cliffside ripping away a portion of it, while setting everything in its path a blaze.
“Don’t let up boys! WE CAN’T let them in this building!”
A man would shout from within the corridor the group exited from earlier. Everyone save for the men who were holding Endan no jutsu reformed into a diamond as they began to move through another set of handseals.
There’s a large wave of cutting wind, and fire coming in y’alls direction, these wall of wind measures in at about 50x50 in size.. It will engalf the entire cliffside if it’s not stopped. Burning, cutting, and destroying most thing it’s path.

[attr="class","textie"] [break][break] As the Uchiha stands within the tree, he can now hear the alarms sounding, which caused his mind to begin running. The gift of his bloodline touted in emotional trouble connected to his optic nerves, the once onyx black irises began to swirl into the crimson with three onyx tomoe resting in his eyes. The power of the Sharingan grants him abilities of sight that no one else saves for a couple of clans. The sight of seeing through people's jutsu, their mind and soul, and chakra. The eyes can see all of the bodies coming out of the castle and they light up into his site the color of the chakra nature they possess. It is with this knowledge and the ability to see hand seals with ease that Shinji can predict down to the millisecond of their muscle activation. Without taking his eyes off the people fifty meters ahead of him he hops down off the tree he was in simultaneously forming seals at a speed unsaw before by most, with the focus in his mind he also shouted out loud enough for all the shinobi within his area to hear. The sound of his voice was monotone and deep and full of seriousness projecting loud enough for them all to hear. Shinji clearly being faster in speed and hand speed than the grunts.
[break][break] "We need to protect ourselves now by solidifying ourselves from that Katon and Fuuton coming our way! I need everyone to close in as close as possible to help keep this cliff side we stand on intact."
[break][break] Whether they decided to listen or not was on them. Shinji had to worry about completing the mission at hand while trying to also preserve life. As he landed upon the ground surface, with some stone siding upon the cliff they were what Shinji needed, as he placed the palm upon the surface sending a magnetic field shockwave into the ground, as the shockwave would cause the ground's minerals of gold dust and iron to begin breaking up and coming to the surface. Shinji's eyes focused on the incoming attack, as his hands came back up to his side, the cork on his gourd breaking down as the sand started to condense off his back, and started to collect in front of him with the gold dust beginning to slowly mix in, Shinji started to direct his sand to collect in front of them into a mass wall of twenty meters by twenty meters in length and width. The sand starts at the base of the cliff and spreads outward and upwards into a cone shape to protect them from the flames. Since the fireball and wind don't move faster than the sand Shinji has great confidence in this sand of his doing some of the job needed, the density of the sand will keep growing, and all 400 gallons of accumulated sand from the gourd mixing with the established sand wall will begin to grow thicker over time. Shinji's hands were held together like in prayer to keep pouring chakra into the collecting wall. His eyes focused on the area in front of him, his eyes darting around independently observing the entire area around him as everything moved in slower motion. His remaining focus kept him in check. He would again though not looking at everyone but speaking to everyone.
[break][break] "I need you all to get behind me and this wall! NOW! I also need support for my wall of sand! We can make formalities later but this Katon and Fuuton is coming in faster and faster!"
[break][break] The sand wall left room for an doton wall to be erected as well as any other sort of defense to support the area they would defend. Shinji's seriousness was obvious by his determined features of pure concentration and focus written on the features of his facial expressions. The sand collected more and more as the wall became a solid sandy brown curved wall in front of them designed to send the flames above and over. The support Shinji sought lay with the other jonin on this cliff with him. The Sand has enough defense and tanking power to block most of the explosions that hit their way.
{Spoiler}{Jutsu Active} [break] Fully Activated Sharingan: Three Tomoe [break] Rank: A [break] Range: - [break] Type: Supplementary [break] Handseals: - [break] Chakra Consumption: Mid per turn active. [break] This is the final form of the “normal” Sharingan. The clan members pupil will turn red and develop three of the wheel swirls in both eyes. In this form, the clan member can read Genjutsu, Taijutsu, and Ninjutsu, learn how the skill is done and then copy it to be used then or later. [break][break]
This level of the Sharingan permits a great deal of agility, allowing them to better conserve and direct their attacks based on an impressive level of perception. Three tomoe Sharingan allow seamless copying and interpretation of a wide array of jutsu. At this level, the Sharingan can perform Genjutsu and hypnosis if eye contact is made and the ninja has access to the appropriate Genjutsu training. [break][break] Additionally, keep in mind that the Sharingan’s ability to be used effectively is dependent on visibility and sight range. [break][break] Note: This variation of the Sharingan is capable of piercing all a-rank Genjutsu and below, and is capable of predicting advanced taijutsu (a-rank and below), and comprehending movements that are 7 levels higher than their speed level. For an increment of one Mid worth of chakra, the user may copy any viable technique of a-rank and below; this cannot be applied to Kinjutsu, Advanced Releases, or other Kekkei Genkai.

[break] devised as an answer to the demand of the user's need for iron powder or gold dust. While many of the Jiton based techniques will suffice using a small or moderate amount of iron powder or gold dust, there are those (often those which mimic the Saton-based assaults) which require a much large quantity. Being heavier than sand, carrying this absurd amount of substance around simply isn't practical. So, they have learned to call it from the planet, itself. After performing the necessary Handseals, the user will place their palm upon the ground and emit a very large, powerful electromagnetic pulse from their body. This will pull the iron and gold minerals from the earth, drawing it to the user for their use.

Note: The version of this technique which requires a Mid worth of chakra creates enough Iron Powder or Gold Dust to carry out any and all Jiton or Saton techniques of C-Rank and below. The version of this technique which requires a 2x High amount of chakra gives the user enough Iron Powder or Gold Dust to use any and all techniques in their arsenal, from E - S Rank. Though the pull of this technique exceeds ten meters, the derived minerals must emerge within several feet of the user. It should be

Being entirely composed of sand Ichibi’s Gourd has a light brown hue, with a smooth exterior as if it was forged by an extremely good craftsman. For flare, Shinji has tied a red band around the center of it, signifying his Uchiha Heritage. Also their has been special Kanji placed around the gourd in order to help Shinji control his power. [break][break] The Jiton which is the defensive nature of Shinji Uchiha, designed to protect him has collected itself into an packed in shape of a gourd upon the back of Shinji Uchiha, a light sandy brown color.
