13 miles of densely pact woods. It is very difficult to navigate through, This is a favorite for local rouges and highwaymen as the dark forest is perfect for robbing passerby. The crossing directly links the Land of Fire to the Land of Rivers on it's western border, and many Fire Country traders have been robbed or attacked within this unmanned crossing.
People reported strange noises or occurrences during their crossing here. While many dismiss it as superstition a keen eye might find it rather odd that the forest seems to be empty and devoid of sound.
While here close range combat take priority, as most long range ninjutsu are ineffective do to the amount of trees and shrubbery around them. Littered throughout the forest floor abandoned ninja tools and weapons. Remanences of battles previously fought.

"Well, it doesn't look like there's any treasure here..." Vee Might nervously chuckled as he walked alongside Toki, who was equally shook. Although this path led from the land of fire toward Tanigakure, the strange pathway this entailed was in equal parts creepy and spooky. The dense forest had a way of alienating the sun, and strange noises made the two jerk around in a paranoid fashion. Still, neither one wanted to stop believing in the courage of the other, which is why the two never complained about the journey. "Sure doesn't. But hey! Let's sing some songs! I know another duet if you want to learn the words." Toki said with his voice ever so slightly elevated. It was at that moment laughter echoed around them, causing the two to stand back to back.
"I would love to sing!" The voice said menacingly. "One, two, your killer is coming for you!" A voice began before suddenly leaping at the two. He was dressed in robes which covered his figure, but his large sickle gleamed wildly. Toki and Vee Might shrieked initially, but as soon as they saw the assailant, the two instantly reached an arm up to grab the man. Toki grabbed the man's wrist as Vee Might with his shorter side slid under the man and grabbed his other arm. The result completely suspended the man and shocked him, as he thought he was just attacking a boy and his pet.
"Do you mind?!" Toki snapped at the man. "We're trying to live in the moment!" Vee Might yelled. "And the moment clearly means to be afraid of the forest." There was a collective sigh from the two of them. "Now I'm not afraid at all! Especially because all that's here is a stupid rogue who thinks singing scarily is going to do anything." As Toki said this Vee Might disappeared into a break neck speed. His two fist spun with wind chakra as two more rogues appeared out of the shadows, but then proceeded to get blown hundreds of feet back by the wind based ninjutsu.."Or his stupid friends. Seriously I smelled them back from the slumbering wields! You would think the bad guys would have learned how to invest in deodorant."
"So uncivilized!" Toki snapped back as he pushed forward and grabbled the man to the ground. He held his foot to the rogue's throat as he pushed him ever so slightly into the mud. "Now the next time you want to scare us, don't try theatrics that bold! Go for the atmospheric approach. Throw a kunai or something to make us feel like the attack can come from anywhere. You're more likely to be afraid of the things you can't see than the things you can. Well, unless you're actually super terrifying and your look is worse than anything I could imagine. But that's definitely not you since the only thing you thought would be terrifying would be a tacky cloak and a half forged sickle." Toki then proceeded to lift his foot from the man's neck as he kicked the sickle away from him. He then straightened out his haori as he looked disappointed at the man. Vee Might stood next to Toki and reflected the same disappointment. "Now go and be better at this. I imagine when we leave Tanigakure that you're going to have this whole act better flushed out and it'll be super scary." Toki said more as a threat than a critique. The man ran off as Toki and Vee Might continued their way into the village.

The user vanishes in the blink of an eye, often leaving behind leaves, sand or some other debris behind them that is kicked up from their action. This allows the user to travel instantly up to fifty feet within combat but cannot be used in conjunction with an attack during this action. In combat, this technique is able to be maximally used three times. Alternatively, this can be used to freely escape combat into another topic to another within the subforum. Outside of combat, the user may move the same distance as if escaping combat with this technique.
Actions (Vee Might): ▱▰▱ Grapple l S+ ▱▰▱ Vee Punch | Rank S | Ninjutsu [ Wind ]| Cost [ Spiritual ] Can only use when Vee Might wears no armor. Vee Might spins his two arms as they become blades of cyan wind. He then attempts to hit the target with the two arms. This technique can hit either two different targets or one singular one. If one singular target then for two activations Vee Might may korabo this attack onto itself. Applies tier one vertigo when used between D-B, and tier 2 A rank and beyond. ▱▰▱
Actions (Akashi): ▱▰▱ ▱▰▱ ▱▰▱
Personal Attributes (Toki): ▱▰▱ Fast as an arrow | Toki's mastery of thrown weaponry allows him to perform the bukijutsu style which uses a bow and substitute it with kunai. This swap does not apply to any techniques which utilize the bow itself as a weapon, and only replaces techniques with a focus on the arrows fired. ▱▰▱ You didn't see anything... | Toki is able to amplify the smoke effect which befalls using the sealing and unsealing technique. When he uses named techniques he is able to have the smoke expel from the scroll and cause tier one blindness to everyone within ten feet of himself. ▱▰▱ Gotta go! | Toki is able to perform body flicker without need of hand seals. The technique exclusively also cost five chakra less. ▱▰▱ Tricky Tricks | Toki is able to utilize a kunai as a substitute for the visual stimulus necessary for visual based genjutsu. ▱▰▱ That should have hit! | Whenever one of Toki's kunai fails to hit a target, his next kunai based attack adds on an additional +2 to speed. This benefit does not apply if the attack was negated through a collision with an offensive or defensive technique. ▱▰▱ Sleight of hands | Allows for Toki to seal away anything on his person, even while in combat. Typical rules for the enclosing technique still apply. ▱▰▱ The Grand Order | Status effects affect the templar by [1] tier lower at a minimum of tier 1 when defending their religion's faithful and their houses of worship. This PA is only obtained by grand templars and is automatically obtained once that title is granted. ▱▰▱ Always prepared! | Toki can use a kunai or dagger instead of a katana / one sword focused bukijutsu style. Cannot be used with any techniques of which it would not make any sense to the technique applied. ▱▰▱ Anime Armor | Allows for Toki to manifest his chakra in an aura around himself based off of his chakra color. This manifestation takes the properties of heavy armor, which includes all of its positive and negative features. ▱▰▱ Genetic Palette | With intensive genetic therapy and strong blood, this character is able to possess more than one transplant. This allows the character up to two transplants total, of any of the three categories. ▱▰▱ Blessings of Valor | As a world-famous hero, you are forever bestowed with an extra reward in arc, timeskip, and guildwide events.
Personal Attributes (Vee Might): ▱▰▱ Connected | Vee Might is able to combine himself into the summoning scrolls unique to the custom scroll crafting. This allows him to take the unique features of the summon (the additional chakra / stamina, the additional stats, and the abilities and unique moves to it) at the cost of the summon and the pet acting independently. Only occurs while a summon is summoned. ▱▰▱ Vee Endurance | Vee Might's endurance is increased by 2 to a possible maximum of 10. ▱▰▱ Heroic Spirit | Vee Might is able to gain legendary armor summons gain one rank lower than the rank of the tamer. ▱▰▱ The Grand Order | Status effects affect the templar by [1] tier lower at a minimum of tier 1 when defending their religion's faithful and their houses of worship. This PA is only obtained by grand templars and is automatically obtained once that title is granted.
Passive Abilities (Toki): ▱▰▱ Integrity | Grants the user 2 PAs, +5 Technique slots and +25 Chakra and Stamina per Body Rank starting at D. They are able to reduce a single status effect excluding mental statuses and trauma by one tier, to a minimum of Tier 1. Additionally, the user can utilize the Block/Dodge system for one rank lower than a single incoming collision once every two posts - This does not stack with the Scholar's Discipline Infinite Perception and cannot be used at the same time as it unless used for a separate collision. ▱▰▱ Knife Flow | The user becomes more accustomed to all combat revolving around small weapons combat. The user's speed and agility when wielding a small weapon is increased by [1] point. ▱▰▱ Dirty Reflection | With proper training and time put in, the user has learned how to angle their blade so that each attack reflects light at the opponent. After each technique, light shines in the opponent's eyes and reduces their agility for that turn equal to the rank of the technique used by the practitioner. Additionally, once every three posts the user can cause tier one blindness on the target. ▱▰▱ Two-fer-one | The practitioner is now accustomed to performing techniques they have mastered with either one or two knives. Once per post, the user may use a single D-Rank or lower technique involving small weapons as a supplementary action. ▱▰▱ Blade’s Edge l The user has learned to utilize projectile weapons with this style, allowing their small projectile weapons to be interchangeable with small weapons for this style. All projectie weaponry get the benefits of Knife Flow. ▱▰▱ Manipulating Line l After casting Retrieval, the user is able to tack on the additional chakra to the same activation of Retrieval. Instead of calling these weapons back to the user, they are able to be manipulated by the chakra threads they are attached to in a similar manner to puppet strings.The chakra threads attached to the weapons remain active for three posts and techniques can be executed from the Manipulating Line technique as though thrown by the user if desired. ▱▰▱ Collaboration [ Korabo ] | This technique allows the user to combine two techniques together in order to create a single, stronger technique. Both activations of the lesser techniques must be paid along with their original cost from the person casting the technique. If the techniques combining originate from separate individuals, both individuals must have this technique and be able to use techniques equal to their partner's body rank. Two techniques of equal rank fused will become a technique of power one rank higher. So two B-ranked techniques fuse to make one A-ranked technique. Furthermore, two techniques separated by one rank in power will take the rank power of the higher rank, but will eliminate any potential weaknesses of the two techniques, and give the fusion the property of overwhelming. So if a B-ranked an a C-ranked technique were fused through the use of Korabo, then the technique would be B-ranked power with the property of overwhelming to techniques of the same rank. Finally, the rules for what techniques can be fused are as followed. The first rule is that the two techniques need to fulfill the same general purpose. For example, two projectile techniques can be fused together through the use of Korabo. However, an elemental shield and projectile technique cannot be fused together. Second of all, if two techniques of the same elemental property, or the same technique performed twice, are fused then the two techniques maintain their elemental strength and weaknesses. If two techniques with differing elements are fused, then the fusion loses all elemental strength and weaknesses. Finally, techniques can only be fused of different elements so long as they are complimentary elements, aka elements which have no elemental strength or weakness against each other. The only exception is if you fuse a technique with one of one rank higher, and the technique of one rank higher is of a weaker elemental property than the element which is stronger. An example is if you wanted to fuse a C-ranked water ninjutsu with a fire ninjutsu, then the fire ninjutsu would have to be B-ranked. In this example, the jutsu would treat the B-ranked fireball as C-ranked, and thus two fused would act as a B-ranked technique. Techniques fused either have to be of the same rank, or one rank difference. Finally, despite the leaning toward ninjutsu, this technique allows one to fuse complex and spiritual tai and bukijutsu as well. For complex techniques, treat it's fusion with ninjutsu as the example with two opposing elements fusing, (aka, if you want to fuse a B-ranked complex punch with a ninjutsu, then the ninjutsu would have to be C-ranked). Medical ninjutsu can also be korabo'd, but only with other medical techniques. ▱▰▱ Seal Connection [ Fuuin Tsunagu ] l Allows for the korabo, or the dual activation, of two activated seals. The seals may be used as two separate attacks where only one requires an activation, or allows the user to unseal their seal and combine the two attacks together into one korabo strike. Standard korabo rules apply. The rank eligible for this technique is defined by the rank of korabo the user has. ▱▰▱ Flame Breathing Pattern l The user is accustomed to the unique and various breaths that it takes to perform physical attacks as well as to channel chakra. This allows the user to passively detect when an offensive action is about to occur, giving them a [1] point increase in agility per body rank of the user. Additionally, once every three posts, the user is able to defend against an offensive activation without utilizing an activation. ▱▰▱ Sight through Smoke l The practitioner grows accustomed to the way smoke flows around them and others. The user's vision is no longer hindered by smoke or fog. ▱▰▱ Keep Silent l During a post where a smoke related technique is utilized and the user is concealed within it, the user is able to remove all hints of their presence. Opponents who are attempting to locate or interact with the user have the same difficulties as though they were suffering deafness and tier four blindness, additionally removing the smell of the user. This effectively removes their presence from even sensory class ninja and dojutsu. ▱▰▱ Order Secret: Redirection l The user's tireless training with the Shield as a part of their everyday combat kit has taught them to effortlessly direct the force of an opponent's strike so that any of their added strength boosts being used when interacting with a shield is nullified. ▱▰▱ Order Secret: Arcane Wisdom l The user has mastered their chakra during combat. This focus and chakra control allows the user to deflect ninjutsu with shield techniques equal in cost and strength. Additionally, the Empowered Guard Stance is now able to block ninjutsu equally with their complex application ▱▰▱ Armored Shinobi | The user must complete 5 paragraphs of training per tier of their armor ( Light, Medium, Heavy ) in order to reap the benefits of this training. The user is able to move with their armor as though they did not have it's restrictions or drawbacks. ▱▰▱ Armored Champion | For each tier of armor ( Light, Medium, Heavy ) the user is wearing, they gain a [2] point increase to their endurance while in combat. If an armor piece is broken, this buffer is negated. ▱▰▱ Undertow | This training focuses on using movement when you attack, carrying that much more force. After this skill is trained, any attack that follows a dodge or evasive technique is treated as a counterattack, and the user's total bonus to agility can be attributed to the strength of the next attack. When this ability is performed it cannot be used the following post. ▱▰▱ Repeating Wave l The user's training has focused on their agility ability to strike while avoiding harm. Once every three posts, the user may utilize an offensive technique that targets a specific part of the target's body that would disrupt their attack. This offensive attack deals damage regularly but allows the user to use their remaining activations as offensive as well. ▱▰▱ Heavy Punch | The basis of the style, punch hard, punch first. The user is able to spend stamina in order to increase the strength of their punches for no activation. For each rank applied, a [1] point increase to strength is conferred. ▱▰▱ Invigorating Kaiser Armor Training | The user's armor retains it's former effects. Now, the armor emits a crackling, bright, white hot chakra that appears like a thin aura around the user. The chakra causes mild burns on contact. In addition, the user gains a [1] point increase to strength and speed per rank of the armor. ▱▰▱ Bolstering Kaiser Armor Training | This training adds to the previous effects of the Kaiser armor's technique. In addition to that, the target's armor now allows them to regenerate 10 stamina per rank of chakra applied to each technique while the armor is active. The user may not generate more stamina than their reserves may hold. ▱▰▱ Kaiser Armor Mastery | The final stage of training for the Kaiser Armor. In addition to it's previous effects, the Kaiser armor now causes searing burns upon contact that blister due to the crackling chakra. Additionally, the user's strength and speed are increased by [1] point per rank of the armor instead of it's original [1] point. Taijutsu and bukijutsu techniques used while this armor is active create shock waves five feet in the direction of the attack per rank of the technique. ▱▰▱ Acrobatic Mastery | Having practiced their art with great concentration, the user has learned to change direction of their whorl technique.After this training is complete, the user may use up to one technique per post that would lower the stats affecting their speed without suffering that reduction. The user gains the ability to use Somersault to evade once every three post without it consuming an activation, but only against opponents whose body rank is at or lower than the user’s. ▱▰▱ Perfecting Balance | Due to their various training requiring parkour style actions, the user is more stable. This training allows the user to withstand off balancing effects or knock back effects as though they were one rank lower in strength. ▱▰▱ Parkour Mastery | The user becomes one with their momentum, learning how to harness their body as an almost perfect machine. After completing this training, the user’s agility gain any and all bonuses afforded to their speed. ▱▰▱Spectral Movement | After countless hours of practicing skills that utilize chakra pathways, the user is capable of leaving phantasms of their own body at the end of every phantom slayer technique they perform for no additional cost. These are considered E rank phantasms, effecting only sight. ▱▰▱Flame Attunement l By practicing the style's many forms, the user has learned to reduce the chakra needed for equal results by finite control. This reduces the required chakra by 5 per rank for complex techniques that channel elemental powers. In addition, this does not reduce the potency of the user's techniques in collisions. ▱▰▱Flames of Deception l Once per post when using a technique from this style after the user completes this training, a C Ranked elemental clone of the user may be created in their place as they move out of sight in some manner through role play. This costs no activation but requires a C Rank amount of chakra each time done. These clones have access to C Rank and below Basic Combat Skills. In addition, each of these clones, upon being stricken with a value equal or greater to C Rank explode, sending their specific element flying outward fifteen feet. Each clone requires an E Ranked Upkeep per post. ▱▰▱Shuriken Hunter | The user's scavenging skills ensure that they are always able to find new shuriken lying about and retrieve their used weapons. This ensures they never carry less than 200 small projectile weapons. ▱▰▱Cluster Training | The user's lengthy use of the bow has taught them to seamlessly fire an additional arrow for each arrow they would fire normally for a technique so long as they have the reserves to do so. ▱▰▱Shrapnel Arrow Creation | The user takes a knife, widdling away at an arrow to create weaknesses in it's design. Doing so allows the user to create shrapnel arrows. These arrows cost nothing additional during a technique to be used with them however upon contact they explode and send wooden and metal shrapnel into anything within five feet of it's location. This technique may be used outside of combat to create arrows for later use. Converts arrows at a 1 to 1 ratio. ▱▰▱Cicada Shell | After learning the Shadow Clone Technique from the maruton list, the user may cast the Shadow Clone technique in conjunction with techniques from this style to replace mirror images with the clones. Casting Shadow Clones in this manner does not consume an activation. ▱▰▱ Mist Vision Technique l A technique usually used with the Hidden Mist Technique, the Mist Vision technique allows the user to see through the heavy mist, steam, or any other condition caused by water in the air. The technique is passive and activates when the user's vision would otherwise be obstructed by mist. When within a fog or mist, the user must use D-Rank chakra during the first post of use followed by an E-Rank amount as upkeep, this allows the user to see through all mist or steam as long as this is active regardless of rank. Does not consume an activation to be used. Negates any blindness status caused by moisture in the air. ▱▰▱ Multi-Mirror Image Training | The user has learned to control their chakra in a fine manner which allows them to create an additional mirror image per rank of the technique it is executed with. These additional images do not increase the strength of the parent technique.
Passive Abilities (Akashi): ▱▰▱ Return l Toki is able to substitute Akashi with any thrown weapon attack. Akashi can then return to the Toki's shoulder immediately after with an E-ranked amount of stamina.
