[Yamaguchi Masshiro]

    On any normal day, under different circumstances, more than a few of the shinobi that had found themselves within the Kaminari's borders certainly wouldn't have been anything resembling welcome. Masshiro was certainly one of said cases, being from a a village that was certainly anything but friendly with Kumo or it's allied shinobi villages. With the Chuunin exams casting a shadow over the area, two shinobi that had passed their own exams were staring across from one another in the closest thing to a civil meeting that a shinobi from Kiri and a shinobi from Konoha were likely to ever have, even in these times.

    What had been a series of passing glares, curious looks, and eventually somewhat civil introductions had lead both to look for something more than fake smiles and greetings. Though they hadn't met one another yet, soon they'd trade blows.

---

    Masshiro was wandering, pacing even outside of the town where others were mingling and playing nice, but he had taken all the notes he was going to, and needed to get away from all the fake kindness for the sake of diplomacy. Resting Uemori over his shoulder his bounced it lightly as he was already sick of this country, missing the smell of the sea, the feel of the mist covered air, and in truth so was his blade. Though it was nothing anyone else was likely to notice, the sheathe covered blade was frustrated and just as much aching to be swung as Masshiro was to swing it. 

    A few times he had offered a spar to some of the others that had shown up, but in every instance he was shot down. 

"I know, just calm down. We can't hack and slash our way through just anyone or anything, and you know this, especially here."

    If anyone was to walk by, it would be clear as day Masshiro was talking to someone, but he was the only one standing there. It wouldn't have been obvious he was speaking to his weapon, because frankly why would anyone be seemingly holding a conversation with what looked to be a wooden weapon.

There was something about the chunin exams that brought Kazui hope, being in close proximity with enemy nations brought for the a sense that there was always a chance for things to be talked through. Despite their differences, Kazui had no hate in her heart towards anyone from the Hidden Mist despite her run-in with their shinobi in the past. Different ideals exist, she was aware of that and didn’t allow her own vision and the vision of the Hidden Leaf to cloud her judgment as a human first and foremost.

Making her way through the streets of Akazaya, the ravenette enjoyed the little time off that she was granted to attend this event. Just sightseeing kept her occupied for hours as she studied the land, their people, and habits. She loved the land of fire, however studying unfamiliar lands and tradition was always something that drew the Uchiha in - so her attention was always focused on something new.

A man sat adjacent to her path, passing him by, Kazui couldn’t help but hear the shinobi’s words - talking to what seemed like himself? Or perhaps he was talking to her? She wasn’t quite sure. "Hmm? Excuse me?” She asked curiously. Her blade resting across her back, hooked across her chest as she came to a halt just before the mist shinobi.

"You shouldn’t be sitting here talking to yourself. People will start to think you’re insane.” Kazui voiced through her soft spoken tone. It was genuine advice from her to him, however he interpreted it however was up to him.

Always Passively Active:
NAME: Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu // Hijutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
This ability allows the user to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost many users keep it active often. The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including the user, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, the user can perceive its location and movement with great detail.

Little Know It All - Extreme Intelligence
It was no secret that Kazui was regarded as a scholar when she was in the academy. One of the smartest in her class, the Uchiha often found herself correcting and/or helping out people older than herself. Many considered her very intellectual then, but that was just only the surface of her potential. Now, the girl is regarded as a genius, her IQ is nothing to be taken lightly or to be taken for granted, even as a young chunin. The teen possesses amazing mental capacity, is able to concentrate flawlessly even in the heat of battle, can calculate things in her head with great speed, and is able to remember many things with perfect recollection, even if it’s just useless information that is meant to be disregarded. In addition to that, Kazui is very deductive, competent, and witted. Her mind is the most dangerous weapon she possesses for many reasons. The girl is highly alert, aware, and very analytical, and she is also very ingenious and is capable of thinking outside of the box as well. Not only is she capable of reading, analyzing, and breaking down a person’s fighting style, but she can also determine what kind of person they are just by the way they speak, the way they carry themselves, and their thoughts on certain things. While doing this, it’s incredibly difficult to deceive the girl, especially if one is not skilled in the art of deception. Furthermore, Kazui can formulate numerous plans to certain situations in mere seconds. She thinks 10 steps ahead, and always has a back up plan just incase.

Gone In The Wind - Blistering Speed
As a child, Kazui was born weaker than others. Her health conditions set the girl at a disadvantage physically since birth, however her constant effort and drive to become the best has pushed her far beyond many others the same rank as herself. Her speed is nothing to be taken lightly, she has pushed herself physically to be able to not only outpace her opponent, but outright force them into keeping up with her and pushing them to the brink with her speed as well. The girl is fast, quick, and agile, even rivaling those who dedicated their entire life to the art of taijutsu to the point where if they haven’t specifically honed their speed, then the girl could outright outclass them in that regard. Those with weak perception often have trouble perceiving the girl’s movements, and to a normal human’s eye perceiving her is nigh impossible. All of her movements are inhumanly quick and hard to keep track of, and when used in conjunction with her sharingan, it can make her a formidable opponent for even the strongest of shinobi.

The Minimalist - Chakra Control
There was a problem that Kazui noticed during her time in the academy and that was the fact that she often found herself tiring out and exhausting herself rather quickly, even when she had just started she could feel herself beginning to wilt. So to counter those measures, the girl studied and asked around, trying to find the reason behind it and if there was a way she could fix it. She wasn’t born with massive reserves so while she utilized her justus, she often did so wastefully. But now, the girl has managed to control the amount of chakra she uses in a technique that allows her to fight much longer than before. She uses the absolute bare minimum of the chakra that’s needed, and not a drop more.

Uchiha Bloodline: Two Tomoe Sharingan
Being born within the Uchiha clan, Kazui has been blessed and/or cursed with a power that only an Uchiha can possess and use to its complete and full potential when they have experienced extreme emotions that causes their chakra to pour into their optic nerves, gifting them with the Sharingan, also known as the eyes that reflect the heart. There are three stages to the sharingan, and it is tracked by the amount of tomoe that appears around an Uchiha’s pupil. One tomoe unlocks the eye of insight, it grants the user the ability to see chakra within an opponent or ally and it also gives an increase to the user’s perceptive abilities. Two tomoe grants the user the eye of hypnotism, while in turn increasing the previous abilities that the ‘Eye of Insight’ grants. The girl’s precognition and perception is heightened well beyond what’s achievable by even the most skilled and elite shinobi, allowing her more of a predictive insight on her opponent as well as the world around her. In terms of her being able to track extremely fast objects and people alike, the eye also allows a natural reactive ability that helps her respond more accurately than a single tomoe could ever allow. As for the ability to see chakra, with a second tomoe the smallest and most faint sources of chakra can easily be spotted by the eye without any issue at all. Assigning color and analyzing the flow of the chakra, Kazui can tell which nature is going to be used as well as where the chakra will be coming from.

The Eye of Hypnotism on the other hand is much different than the previous eye, it allows the girl the ability to cast and break genjutsu with no issue at all, in a way only the Uchiha are capable of. It also gives her access to a set of genjutsu only known to those who possess great visual prowess amongst the clan. These illusions are very powerful in nature and are some of the most dangerous known to the art, they are well beyond standard genjutsu, and in addition the illusions can be casted with just a single glare. Those who met her gaze will find themselves under her spell before they can even realize what happened.

Tiny Dancer - Elusiveness
Kazui is one quick girl, which isn’t hard to tell. Thanks to her training, the girl has amazing agility and reflexes that allow her to keep herself out of harms way. Even without her sharingan being active, Kazui possesses sharp perceptive abilities and reflexes that allows her to become an escape artist of some sort as well as a complete nuisance to those trying to fight her. The girl’s reaction speed is superb and not to be taken lightly as it is, however, when the dojutsu is active, taking into account the girl’s great speed and adding her keen reflexes into the mix, it’s capabilities are much more potent and useful to the Uchiha. With this, not only is Kazui capable of keeping track of even the most renowned speediest opponents and attacks, the girl is able to keep up with, and react to them as well with relative ease.

Wake Up To Reality - KME Genjutsu Prowess
As an Uchiha it is believed that Kazui and many of her clanmen were born with a natural affinity for the art of genjutsu, but of course none of it can ever come to fruition if there is no effort placed behind it. However, since she was constantly reminded by those around her about that fact, the girl began to focus on the art more than ever before.

Although her illusions do become much more elaborate, less flawed in a certain sense, and stronger, the true results come more in the form of defending herself against genjutsu. Her vast knowledge of the art as well as her training and extremely high sensory capabilities allow for the Uchiha’s escape efforts to be significantly stronger than it normally is, allowing her to free herself from genjutsu up to 1 rank above what she is typically capable of via the special ability granted to the Uchiha with The Sharingan’s genjutsu escape. It should be noted however that genjutsu reversal does not receive any additional boosts from this ability.

Sleight of Hand - Seals Master
As Kazui grew older and gained more experience and familiarity with the ninja arts, the girl’s chakra control had essentially been mastered along with her speed and accuracy with forming hand-seals. Countless of hours spent training, learning, and even creating new jutsu has made the girl grow familiar with every seal needed to perform any jutsu, every motion for every combination, her body absorbed and memorized - allowing her to flow through the motions with no given thought or effort. Her speed with forming these seals is insanely quick and precise, she’s even capable of stringing together the lengthiest combinations of hand seals and casting jutsu faster than most can even dream of keeping up with, making it appear as if she hadn’t even tried to use any hand-seals to begin with. Her vast knowledge and familiarity with sealing in addition to her refined chakra control has lead her to being able to utilize only a single hand to form a seal as well, though she only does this under certain circumstances.

[Yamaguchi Masshiro]

    His eyes shifted immediately to the side as he heard the voice over his shoulder, turning and raising an eyebrow at the comment. He hadn't quite been paying enough attention to catch what was said, so the most that was given in response was his body turning enough to get a good luck at them, and a raised eyebrow. Unlike most weapon wielders, there was no obvious sheathe, sling, or otherwise holster that his weapon would be held in, hence it being thrown over his shoulder. He did have a sheathe for it, but he chose not to bring it, showing off Uemori openly, knowing it would have more than a few odd looks given to it given its strange and somewhat off-putting look. The carvings, the blood soaked coloring, the jagged wood teeth; none of these screamed elegant, especially since so many other shinobi had well crafted katanas while he carried a four-foot piece of angry wood.

    When she spoke up again, it sounded as if the wood cracked and groaned much like a house might shift and settle, but there was no visible signs of movement, and Masshiro paid no attention to it.

"I'm not talking to myself."

    Lifting the weapon off of his shoulder, he spun it around once at his side before letting it rest back on his right shoulder.

"I'm talking to Uemori. He's thirsty and irritable."

    Looking down as if it had responded, there was no sound, but Masshiro looked to it all the same as if there was.

"Well it's true, you are. You'd prefer I lie?"

    Looking back to her he gave a heavy shrug.

"He's used to the weather back home, and much like my hair, he's not a fan of the lack of heavy moisture in the air."

"Right.” Dark inky hues continued to watch over the man. He appeared to be no older than the age of 30, possibly in his mid 20s - still relatively young but experienced nonetheless. Very much obviously a Kiri shinobi, was he a jonin? More than likely. Seeing the work of art resting across his shoulders immediately signaled to Kazui that he may have been of high rank with the mist village, but she hadn’t known. Were all of them like this? These thoughts raced through her mind as she couldn’t take her attention off of the creaking blade in which he held. Leaning a bit closer, she’d examine the wooden blade in great detail. Definitely wasn’t anything she wanted to find herself hanging on, but it intrigued her nonetheless.

"A wooden blade..jagged and rough around the edges..” She mentioned to herself mostly before her inky gaze turned back to the shinobi. "Senju?” She asked curiously. After stumbling across a particular cloud shinobi, Kazui was more aware of certain abilities turning up where she’d least expect them. Her assumption was that since the blade itself was wood, then surely it was some senju heirloom lost at war. A sigh escaped the young woman’s lips as she inquired further.

"Do any of you mist shinobi carry actual swords?” She asked jokingly yet blandly, already knowing the truth to her question. She’d battled them before, and even the simplest katana held an extra degree of lethality behind every swing. Yet, a good few seemed to have weapons that seemed uncomfortable to wield.

Regardless, Masshiro wasn’t the only one armed out of the two. What seemed like a simple chokuto that rested across the girl's back, fastened across her chest was all but a normal blade. The Sword of Chidori was gifted to her by a former Kumogakure shinobi, and since that day it has traveled far and wide alongside the ravenette. Despite this fact, she rarely got the chance to use it - or the altercation would simply be over by the time the blade came into play.

[Yamaguchi Masshiro]

    There was a near pattern level blinking as his eyes narrowed, staring into her eyes at the momentary silence. A single brow raise slowly as they had an impromptu staring contest, one he had lost multiple times over with all the blinks, but there wasn't much he could do about it. This wasn't exactly a dry land, but it was far more so than he was used to, and his eyes were added to the list of things not a fan of the difference in humidity.

    As he shifted, he noticed she wasn't quite staring at him at all, but Uemori, not that it was at all a surprise. The markings covering it were somewhere between unique and incredibly morbid, not to mention the near perfect shade of blood red, and the actual weapon itself was the opposite of elegant. It wasn't a beautifully crafted katana, but a weapon meant for inflicting damage and causing pain. When she finally spoke again, he lifted it off his shoulders and patted the flat side, then gave a few knocks against it with his knuckle. Stopping just short of the last hit, he dropped his arm and placed Uemori back onto his shoulder as he stood up perfectly straight and slowly shook his head.

"Nope. Uemori wasn't created by one nor am I one, depending on which you were asking about."

    Once more his brow was escaping for his hairline as it raised curiously.

"Uh, yes? Most do I would say. Though I can assure you no one, not just from the mist, but anywhere, has a weapon like this."

    He began to lightly bounce the flat part of the weapon off of his shoulder as he made sure to make eye contact, never breaking it even when she looked away or at something else. While his headband hung around his waist, he still threw a thumb at his own forehead, then motioned towards her Konoha headband.

"Don't see many Leaflings with real weapons, and the few I have didn't know how to use them."

[Lady Kazui]

Don’t just weather the storm.
Dance in it.

❧

Kazui peered a bit closer at the wooden weapon resting over the man’s shoulder. It was definitely one of the most unique she herself had seen so she couldn’t quite disagree with his statement that there was nothing else like it. The bloodshot crimson coloring however well it was what really sold it to the woman. It reminded her of the arm of Reiashi, more so the ink covering the scars beneath. Her eyes shifted from Uemori however and landed upon the man himself as he explained that he nor the weapon were of Senju origin.

She watched him and listened to him intently, unable to ignore the strong sense of bond between both the weapon and its wielder. The Kiri shinobi was boastful of the weapon’s uniqueness, but in truth the woman could say the same for her own. She rested her eyes briefly retrieving her chidori katana, a zap of lightning danced around the handle the moment the blade had taken to her grasp. Her eyes remained fixed over the beautifully crafted weapon as she spoke in return to the man’s claims on leaf shinobi.

"Hmm. Is that so?” Methodically and slowly drawing the blade as her gaze returned to Masshiro, a menacing glare could be seen in her eyes as if she had taken offense and were ready to retaliate. The jonin would only draw the blade a few inches however before releasing it - allowing the blade to effortlessly slip back into its sheath. There was nothing for her to prove to him, not now at least. Shrugging her shoulders the ravenette brushed it off as shit talk from opposing shinobi that she had somewhat grown accustomed to.

"Oh well…” A single hand raised and waved off the man. "We ’leafies’ aren’t usually as traditional as those in Kirigakure, I must say but..the select few who have studied the blade can be just as lethal.” She explained. A smile curling over her lips as she leaned a bit closer towards Masshiro. "I would gladly show you .. however..” Looking around, Kazui saw that the city of Akazaya was buzzing with life - women, kids, and the elderly alike taking to the streets to enjoy their day. "Its best we save that for another time.” The woman voiced. "Besides, Toru wouldn’t be so pleased to hear and neither would Lord Ninth.”

One tomoe unlocks the eye of insight, it grants the user the ability to see chakra within an opponent or ally and it also gives an increase to the user’s perceptive abilities. Two tomoe grants the user the eye of hypnotism, while in turn increasing the previous abilities that the ‘Eye of Insight’ grants. The girl’s precognition and perception is heightened well beyond what’s achievable by even the most skilled and elite shinobi, allowing her more of a predictive insight on her opponent as well as the world around her. In terms of her being able to track extremely fast objects and people alike, the eye also allows a natural reactive ability that helps her respond more accurately than a single tomoe could ever allow. As for the ability to see chakra, with a second tomoe the smallest and most faint sources of chakra can easily be spotted by the eye without any issue at all. Assigning color and analyzing the flow of the chakra, Kazui can tell which nature is going to be used as well as where the chakra will be coming from.

The Eye of Hypnotism on the other hand is much different than the previous eye, it allows the girl the ability to cast and break genjutsu with no issue at all, in a way only the Uchiha are capable of. It also gives her access to a set of genjutsu only known to those who possess great visual prowess amongst the clan. These illusions are very powerful in nature and are some of the most dangerous known to the art, they are well beyond standard genjutsu, and in addition the illusions can be casted with just a single glare. Those who met her gaze will find themselves under her spell before they can even realize what happened.

Tiny Dancer - Elusiveness
Kazui is one quick girl, which isn’t hard to tell. Thanks to her training, the girl has amazing agility and reflexes that allow her to keep herself out of harms way. Even without her sharingan being active, Kazui possesses sharp perceptive abilities and reflexes that allows her to become an escape artist of some sort as well as a complete nuisance to those trying to fight her. The girl’s reaction speed is superb and not to be taken lightly as it is, however, when the dojutsu is active, taking into account the girl’s great speed and adding her keen reflexes into the mix, it’s capabilities are much more potent and useful to the Uchiha. With this, not only is Kazui capable of keeping track of even the most renowned speediest opponents and attacks, the girl is able to keep up with, and react to them as well with relative ease.

Wake Up To Reality - KME Genjutsu Prowess
As an Uchiha it is believed that Kazui and many of her clanmen were born with a natural affinity for the art of genjutsu, but of course none of it can ever come to fruition if there is no effort placed behind it. However, since she was constantly reminded by those around her about that fact, the girl began to focus on the art more than ever before.

Although her illusions do become much more elaborate, less flawed in a certain sense, and stronger, the true results come more in the form of defending herself against genjutsu. Her vast knowledge of the art as well as her training and extremely high sensory capabilities allow for the Uchiha’s escape efforts to be significantly stronger than it normally is, allowing her to free herself from genjutsu up to 1 rank above what she is typically capable of via the special ability granted to the Uchiha with The Sharingan’s genjutsu escape. It should be noted however that genjutsu reversal does not receive any additional boosts from this ability.

Sleight of Hand - Seals Master
As Kazui grew older and gained more experience and familiarity with the ninja arts, the girl’s chakra control had essentially been mastered along with her speed and accuracy with forming hand-seals. Countless of hours spent training, learning, and even creating new jutsu has made the girl grow familiar with every seal needed to perform any jutsu, every motion for every combination, her body absorbed and memorized - allowing her to flow through the motions with no given thought or effort. Her speed with forming these seals is insanely quick and precise, she’s even capable of stringing together the lengthiest combinations of hand seals and casting jutsu faster than most can even dream of keeping up with, making it appear as if she hadn’t even tried to use any hand-seals to begin with. Her vast knowledge and familiarity with sealing in addition to her refined chakra control has lead her to being able to utilize only a single hand to form a seal as well, though she only does this under certain circumstances.

[Yamaguchi Masshiro]

    It was only reflex to think someone grabbing for a weapon in such a way was provocation, given that where he came from it most certainly would be, and had he not been gripping Uemori already it would have been pulled at that very moment. Instead it lifted from his shoulder as he rested the flat surface against his opposite palm, and the few spots where there were missing razor sharp teeth on either side of the weapon suddenly shot forth teeth to fill in the gaps. It wasn't something Masshiro did, but a response from Uemori to the tense feeling in the shinobi wielding them, and the sense of intent that was radiating off of him.

"In Kiri, it's said we are rarely the most beautiful of flowers, but we all have deadly thorns. Every Leaf shinobi I've come across certainly believes themselves to be the strongest. Certainly beautiful on the outside, perhaps even puffed up to look dangerous..."

    He purposefully trailed off, leaving the rest for her to fill in the blanks of herself, but it wasn't hard to piece together what he was saying, as he wasn't being subtle. For all he looked to be poking and prodding, he didn't look as if he wanted a fight, but he was certainly pushing her buttons and testing her response. She had fallen into the exact spot he wanted her without realizing it, and now his gaze had fallen sharply onto her as he began to take mental notes of increased breathing, specific visible tensing muscles, what specifically she changed her gaze to and how often, it was all being recorded and tested.

"Don't get me wrong, I have no problems with Konoha, no more than any other village at least."

    Softly nodding, he chewed on his lip before resting Uemori back on his shoulder, his eyes looking over that weapon of hers, much like so many others, sizing it up. It would certainly make a good edition to his collection, perhaps a nice display piece.

"I have a respect for those that can properly wield a weapon, emphasis on properly. I have no more disdain for anything or anyone on the other hand that wields a weapon openly with little respect for it or the skill to do so."

    Uemori dropped down as his arm almost looked like it was going limp, suddenly the distance between them was shortened with the wooden blade pointed towards her. It would be hard not to see it as a threatening action, but there was a smile on his face that looked like someone telling a child they were going for ice cream. Masshiro's face couldn't be taken for anything but happy, a pure joy even.

"I would like nothing more than to test your skill, to see if you can properly wield that weapon. It would give me nothing but an immense level of joy to add it to my collection however, if you can't. I promise I would take good care of it until such a time you could."

    Immediately he let out a loud laugh as she mentioned Toru.

"I don't care too much what Toru thinks. The day I worry about what a child feels of two skilled swordsmen clashing is the day I put down Uemori and walk into the sea. If either of them are so sensitive as to have an issue with such a thing, then we are all in trouble most dire."

    His arm dropped before it slung up, letting Uemori slap against his shoulder yet again.

"Don't worry, I don't think either of us are so immature as to start a fight in the middle of a crowded area, right?"

    

[Lady Kazui]

Don’t just weather the storm.
Dance in the rain.

❧

Kazui couldn't help but to grin from ear to ear at the mention of thorned roses the man had spoken of. His intent was clear from the very beginning, though the woman had to admit that she enjoyed being around someone who exudes such confidence in themselves and their comrades. Though anyone with a name to themselves would know that the leaf village is known for producing generational talent. A soft chuckle parted her lips as she swung her blade back over her shoulder, black hair followed along as the ravenette swept the strands of hair towards the back, her demeanor as calm as it had ever been.

"Well, I can’t say you are wrong, that could be true, yes.” She admitted. "But surely you are aware that the prettiest of flowers..are more often than not the deadliest.” Gesturing vaguely with an open palm, Kazui rested her eyes for a moment and allowed her statement to settle within Masshiro’s mind. Sure they might have lacked the thorns as mentioned before, but those beautiful flowers found in the leaf often came with poisons that could easily make up for their lack of ‘thorns’. A sigh parted the woman’s lips as her gaze returned to the man. "Likewise.” She agreed with the mention of him not hating Konoha. There was no ill feeling in her heart for Kiri as well, in fact, the ravenette wished that the two villages could get along to put an end to the never ending cycle of bloodshed.

Regardless, Kazui folded her arms across her chest and watched as he quickly closed their distance and pointed the wooden blade at none other than herself. Her demeanor remained all the same despite the sudden movements and threatening gestures. Her expression was flat, blank, and void of much emotion if any at all. In fact, she didn’t even blink. They were on neutral ground after all so surely he wasn’t crazy enough to start anything, but then again he was challenging one of the leaf’s powerhouse kunoichi. "Hmm.” She hummed as her gaze remained fixed on the man before her. Perhaps he was crazy enough after all.

A hand slowly arose and touched the flattened top of Uemori, gently lowering the man’s weapon out of her view. "Uh huh. You say that, but from what I can tell..” Kazui took a moment, a smirk curling over her lips as her eyes angled upwards for a more devious glance. "That child is capable of squashing you and I both, like ants.” She shrugged, though did she truly believe it? Not in the slightest, but she was humble enough to know that Toru was not to be taken lightly. "It’s been uh .. fun chatting with you, but I should catch up with my students.” Kazui took a few steps forward - past Masshiro. She’d stop just a few feet away before turning to face the man one last time. A bit of concern lingering behind her eyes as she watched on. Eventually she’d muster up the "courage” to speak her mind.

"O-oh and .. perhaps you should try not talking to your weapon, at least in public, others may think you’re insane.” She offered genuine advice to the man, but it would come off more as the Uchiha simply joking with Masshiro. Regardless, the woman would raise a single hand as she began to make her exit.

SPOILER: Click to show

Always Passively Active:
NAME: Kagura Shingan [Kagura Mind's Eye]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu // Hijutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
This ability allows the user to find, sense, and track individuals through their chakra over vast range that exceeds ten kilometers. This is done by focusing and opening the mind's eye, though due to the low chakra cost many users keep it active often. The ability also extends to telling when a person is lying from the fluctuations in a person's chakra made from dishonest emotions or detecting if someone, including the user, is under a genjutsu. Also by focusing on a particular chakra, the user can perceive its location and movement with great detail.

Little Know It All - Extreme Intelligence
It was no secret that Kazui was regarded as a scholar when she was in the academy. One of the smartest in her class, the Uchiha often found herself correcting and/or helping out people older than herself. Many considered her very intellectual then, but that was just only the surface of her potential. Now, the girl is regarded as a genius, her IQ is nothing to be taken lightly or to be taken for granted, even as a young chunin. The teen possesses amazing mental capacity, is able to concentrate flawlessly even in the heat of battle, can calculate things in her head with great speed, and is able to remember many things with perfect recollection, even if it’s just useless information that is meant to be disregarded. In addition to that, Kazui is very deductive, competent, and witted. Her mind is the most dangerous weapon she possesses for many reasons. The girl is highly alert, aware, and very analytical, and she is also very ingenious and is capable of thinking outside of the box as well. Not only is she capable of reading, analyzing, and breaking down a person’s fighting style, but she can also determine what kind of person they are just by the way they speak, the way they carry themselves, and their thoughts on certain things. While doing this, it’s incredibly difficult to deceive the girl, especially if one is not skilled in the art of deception. Furthermore, Kazui can formulate numerous plans to certain situations in mere seconds. She thinks 10 steps ahead, and always has a back up plan just incase.

Gone In The Wind - Blistering Speed
As a child, Kazui was born weaker than others. Her health conditions set the girl at a disadvantage physically since birth, however her constant effort and drive to become the best has pushed her far beyond many others the same rank as herself. Her speed is nothing to be taken lightly, she has pushed herself physically to be able to not only outpace her opponent, but outright force them into keeping up with her and pushing them to the brink with her speed as well. The girl is fast, quick, and agile, even rivaling those who dedicated their entire life to the art of taijutsu to the point where if they haven’t specifically honed their speed, then the girl could outright outclass them in that regard. Those with weak perception often have trouble perceiving the girl’s movements, and to a normal human’s eye perceiving her is nigh impossible. All of her movements are inhumanly quick and hard to keep track of, and when used in conjunction with her sharingan, it can make her a formidable opponent for even the strongest of shinobi.

The Minimalist - Chakra Control
There was a problem that Kazui noticed during her time in the academy and that was the fact that she often found herself tiring out and exhausting herself rather quickly, even when she had just started she could feel herself beginning to wilt. So to counter those measures, the girl studied and asked around, trying to find the reason behind it and if there was a way she could fix it. She wasn’t born with massive reserves so while she utilized her justus, she often did so wastefully. But now, the girl has managed to control the amount of chakra she uses in a technique that allows her to fight much longer than before. She uses the absolute bare minimum of the chakra that’s needed, and not a drop more.

Uchiha Bloodline: Two Tomoe Sharingan
Being born within the Uchiha clan, Kazui has been blessed and/or cursed with a power that only an Uchiha can possess and use to its complete and full potential when they have experienced extreme emotions that causes their chakra to pour into their optic nerves, gifting them with the Sharingan, also known as the eyes that reflect the heart. There are three stages to the sharingan, and it is tracked by the amount of tomoe that appears around an Uchiha’s pupil.

[Yamaguchi Masshiro]

    He gave her a dramatic bow at her comment, knowing well enough the meaning, but wanting to respond to it in his own way all the same.

"I like to think of myself more along the lines of the beautiful flower than the thorny one. Uemori here has more than enough sharp edges for the both of us."

    

    Raising a hand up, he traced across the large scar on his face, smiling as he did, then giving her a wink.

"Not everyone find my looks so appealing, unfortunately. A pretty face with an ugly scar."

    Slowly, as if he was simply relaxing his muscles after a long day, the smile faded into a more neutral and rested position. Those eyes however stared with enough emotion and thought behind them to make up for it tend fold. It was a stare that by now he knew was unnerving, but it wasn't as if he could change it short of getting a new set of eyes. Not for a second aside from blinking did they ever move from her own, locked on, darting at the most minuscule of motions. The joys of unintentional and impromptu staring contests, as neither of them seemed ready to break eye contact.

    He didn't immediately respond to her words, letting them sink in, but there was no laughter this time, though his grip certainly tightened, enough so that it could be audibly heard.

"One genjutsu and that child would be nothing more than a meal for the ants. Not even Kage are immune to such things."

    His words were not calm, were not gentle, they were laced with enough poison to fill a lake. Clearly there was an anger there and it's target no less clear. He had good reason for his anger, for his frustration, for his hatred even, but for all of that truth he wasn't going to share why. Sure he was strong, but even she didn't know the true extent of why, even most in Kiri had no idea, and that fact pissed him off as much as anything.

"Strength isn't the same as deserving respect however. He is still a child, and he commands respect like a child."

    There was no way to hold in the sigh that released shortly afterwards, but now she had completely distracted him for the initial thoughts in his mind. As she walked passed, he didn't follow her with her eyes, staring straight ahead, letting his senses follow her instead. When she spoke, he turned and shrugged heavily.

"Let them think what they'll think. It's not my problem if I'm the only shinobi with a living weapon."

    Dropping Uemori back down, he started to lightly twirl it at his side, turning away from her and walking the opposite direction.

"Don't worry buddy, I know you're not crazy."

    Giving the wooden weapon a heavy pat, he swung it back against his shoulder.
