[Kuronmeru Keiji]

     "Hah," Keiji scoffed as he shoved Asuka away. "I'm fine." Despite his gruff rebuttal, he was still slightly doubled over and holding his stomach.

     He quickly hobbled over to a window and threw it open in time to see Zaizen and Masshiro hurtling away from the building. His clone had been back far enough from the explosion and made his way to the outside, so he was now running down the length of the building and towards where they'd land. As for Keiji and Asuka, they were too far away to do anything to help.

     "They'll be fine. They're not incompetent." Least, if they were, he still wouldn't want to bother with helping weaklings. But he had enough confidence in these two to know they'd be fine.

     "But sneaking probably isn't an option anymore." he said, watching the smoke billow out the side of the building. Gingerly, he headed out the window and walked down the wall to the grass outside, beckoning for Asuka to follow. "May as well take a moment to recover before we get ambushed."

     The clone Keiji ran out into the forest where he'd seen Zaizen and Masshiro blown away to, planning to quickly look them over and heal any injuries they may've sustained. The real Keiji stood with an arm against the wall, quickly using medical jutsu to heal his bruised and bleeding stomach.

[masshiro]

    Masshiro had been mostly calm, trying to calculate in his mind the best scenario to make this work in their favor, and at least for a moment he thought he had made the quick, simple, and right choice. That brief moment of doubt before he casted his genjutsu was gone, and that pride slipped in that was far too often his downfall. In this instance at least, there were few decision he could have made to dramatically change the outcome in question, but it didn't keep the pride out until it was knocked out with a violent explosion.

    There wasn't much of a chance to think things through in the time it took the explosion to happen, and even if there was, his skillset was not conducive to stopping or even shielding giant blasts such as this in that span of time. In the quick tick of a moment that happened, he was just about able to jump backwards as Zaizen yelled, able to at least use his frame as a shield and put just enough distance between them as to not have an explosion and Zaizen smashing into him at the same time. Everything happened so quickly that he didn't quite come to grips with it until he found himself free falling and looking up seeing a large hole in the building and Zaizen falling right over him.

    He just managed to twist his body, but didn't land quite as gracefully as his teammate, landing on his side over his feet, hitting with a painful thud, but nothing more than he had experienced before. A third floor drop was far from pleasant, but it wasn't by any means deadly, and was certainly preferable to being caught in a full blast explosion.

"Ow.."

    Grumbling as he used his weapon to get his balance, he got back to his feet with a few obvious pains, more concerned about Zaizen who had used himself as a human shield. As if he didn't respect the man enough, he certainly had to give him further credit for that one. As the clone came over to offer healing he was waved off, but there were some obvious burn marks, and he was moving a bit slower on the side that took the landing impact.
    
"I'm fine, check on Zaizen."

    Motioning for the clone to head over and check on Zaizen, he finally regained his balance enough to fully stand, hoping he wouldn't have to go running at least for a few moments. Shaking his head a bit, he hadn't realized the world had been spinning until it stopped completely and his head was clearing, deactivating the Jaakugan and taking as long as he could to catch his breath. It would be nice if he could go two missions without someone trying to blow him up, but at least there was no lightning this time to go along with it.
    

[Kaguya Toru]

I would know him in death At the end of the world Asuka Waruichi Kuronmeru Keiji Sourei Zaizen masshiro

The explosion was definitely an unexpected twist to things, it put Zaizen and Masshiro out of the building. Zaizen landing a bit more gracefully on the ground in comparison to Masshiro who had a few burns on him from the explosion and heat of it. The clone came to check on them, having just barely escaped the impact and thus dispersion.

Asuka and Keiji were still inside having been slammed to the ground from the explosion but otherwise *mostly* okay... Keiji wandered to the window to see the second team fly out like a rocket blast now on the edge of the forest.

Keiji demands a recoup in their current position without going in to try and assist the other team, believing them to be sufficiently capable enough to help themselves.

Any active sensory would allow for those who are able to read to know that enemies on floors - one, two and three were completely annihilated. The fourth floor had five now due to the explosion taking out about half of the adversaries and the fifth floor still had all ten enemies, which left a total of fifteen enemies total.

However a closer focus showed that none of them were significant adversaries in terms of chakra pools, this likely would give a good indication to the team that whatever was in this building was not the end of it...

Voices would come from just above Asuka and Keiji, and through the smoke four shadows would appear shouting telling them to show themselves immediately.

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

With the girl managing to keep Keiji safe she could sense that they're weren't too many enemies left but she couldn't see what was directly in front of her, but would hear some men calling out to her. "Sir how should we proceed?" the woman would ask as she looked to her boss who she would help up off the ground.

The girl would craft a shadow clone made out of some of the bandages that she carried within her back to craft a shadow clone of herself two of them in fact and would send one of herself and another of Keiji that were made of bandages. She'd gesture for him to stay back to make sure that he wouldn't make any movements.

If they attacked they'd be ensnared by her bandages and a few of them would be captured which would give them time to get the jump on them, otherwise Asuka felt it better to bide her time since her enemies were just as confused and visually lost as she was.

She'd allow her clones a moment to confuse them and then allow them to attack if her enemies choose to do nothing. Once Asuka had audible confirmation she'd allow the smoke to pass and then use Fuuton Chakra to add wind to her strike and move in to attack the first enemy she got eyes on with a swift series of strikes before palming their head into the pavement.

Summary:

Heavy Handed Iron Fist:
With the rigorous training that Asuka had to endure as she honed her body to levels of perfection rivaling that of any martial arts master. Asuka's strength has increased 10 fold to the point where she is able to crush stoned within her grasp and breaks bones of lesser individuals with ease. And while she still has much to learn as a chunin. The youth's power is not one to be challenged lightly, as she is able to perform physical feats that would seem inhuman to even most shinobi.

Hijutsu: Kinu no Eikyō:
Asuka is a member of the Waruichi clan and as such has the ability to control a special chakra infused silk that was forged by a special group of silkworms that feed on the corpses of dead clansmen. With it Asuka can craft and shape the silk to her will and uses it in a mostly supplementary fashion to aid her in battle alongside her powerful taijutsu skills.

Iron Burst:
As a sole practitioner of Taijutsu Asuka has relentlessly pushed her body against itself for spectacular results: her strength carries over into her speed, and as such alongside the control she exerts body in spirit and in mind, she is intensely faster than those of a similar level of strength and maneuvering expertly as if the air were an extension of her own body.

A Disciplined Iron Bull:
During Asuka's time as a genin the youth had begun to realize that in order to excel as a shinobi she needed to learn how to properly utilize her chakra. And while she doesn't posses the greatest of reserves the youth has learned through rigorous meditation how to keep her chakra still and calm. As a result she is now able to wield it with a great deal of control and is able to channel only the necessary amounts of chakra into the few jutsu she uses in order to make the most of their abilities whilst still being able to keep up in a fight.

After been blasted from the third floor of the building Zaizen had took the explosion head on, but due to his clan abilities, Zaizen remained unhurt by the situation. As Zaizen was free falling he maintained his density form until he nearly got to the ground before reverting to normal and adjusting his body to land on one knee, with his other foot on the ground like Zaizen was bowing to a king, but had used this move to land.

Well that had been unexpected to have been blown up though with how crazy these enemies were, Zaizen needed to be more careful going forward and the likely approach of sneaking about the place seemed to have gone up in smoke. So Zaizen would make sure to dispatch enemies going forward more quickly as he doesn't want a repeat of the crazy bomber. As Masshiro motioned for the clone to go over to Zaizen to heal him, Zaizen by this point had already got to his feet and would stop the clone. " I am undamaged by the explosion, save your chakra." Zaizen had spoken, his clan abilities had protected him from damage, yeah it had knocked him about but for the most part he was fine, nothing he had not experienced before. Zaizen quickly scanned the building using his sensory ability picking up his two allies on floor two, the enemy's on floor's two, and free clear it was just the upper floors that remained. Zaizen wondered if it was best to leave the building to the other two members of the group and start to explore the rest of the compound as that explosion would likely have gained attention.

" I think we should leave the building to the other two, You and I should start to clear the enemies outside as that explosion would likely have been heard." Zaizen had advised.

[Mitsudo Soujū]

A Kekkei Genkai that revolves around manipulating one's internal density, this enables him to become nigh indestructible containing enough mass that movement becomes impossible while bending metal easily. It also enables him to phase through matter with ease, possessing an outstanding control over this Kekkei Genkai to the point he can modify one finger to his own body, a part of a sword only. Zaizen is a master of his clans abilities having been using it since he can remember and has full control over it. He has to keep to the time limits which would be nighty seconds before having to wait as long to use his clans abilities once again, though using them once is often more than enough for the Sourei.

[God-Like Chakra Control Prowess]

It's difficult to describe his control over his chakra. It is as if the chakra itself is his very breath. He can manipulate it to such a degree that every technique is perfectly executed with zero wasted chakra yet potent enough that the maximum potential of that technique is always released.

[Prodigious Speed]

Zaizen is quick. His dashing movement mimics shunshin no jutsu, and while utilizing Shunshin no Jutsu, his speed reaches a level rarely seen, due to few being able to see it. It isn't an understatement to say he is one of, if not, the fastest Kirigakure shinobi of his generation. While most focus on training speed & strength to an certain degree, he excelled in training his speed and stamina. Capable of traveling long distances in little time without breaks. This movements translates to his maneuverability as well. The speed at which he punches, kicks, dodges, flips, and dashes are what his entire physical conditioning is about - reaching optimal speed in every aspect of combat. Due to his speed, he was dubbed: [Mist's Bullet].

[Prodigious Reflexes & Reaction Time]

Both instinctual & conscience reflexes are beyond staggering. It is this coupled with his speed that he's reached his level of command. He reacts to stimuli almost instantaneously, this gives him ample time to give a reply. There isn't much that can dash out of his vision without him knowing, or strike him directly where he can't react. It is due to this and his Kekkei Genkai that his level of evasion is top class.

[Silent Killing Mastery]

Steps hold no sound, breath holds no sound, existence can disappear at will. That which makes us shinobi is the fact that a majority of their task takes place in the shadows, and Zaizen has refined and perfected the craft of stealth, lurking within the shadows, hiding one's presence, and covering one's tracks. He can even slow his heartbeat to a near halt, decreasing his body need for oxygen, and hiding his very beat within silence.

As one trained within the shadows, and exemplifying the existence of being one, he is arguably the greatest stealth assassin in his Kirigakure holding the title of ANBU Captain and more. If compared to all in the world, he may just be within the tops. It's even been noted that in a battle of sheer silence, not even the trained Kirigakure can match his lack of presence. This coupled with his physical capabilities is why he's regarded as the [Ghost of the Mist]. He kills at such a speed and moves with no evidence of his existence that one never knows they were killed until he's behind them with a blade in their heart. Even while in actual direct combat, if he's not in view, his presence is impossible to detect via sound no matter how skilled.

[Sensory Capabilities & Awareness]

The ability to detect/sense other's presence by their chakra. Zaizen is particularly skilled at sensing other individuals, capable of sensing/tracking a chakra signature over five kilometers. He could also discern between various populations, capable of pinpointing their country of origin. It was this very ability that enabled him to know that his son's killer derived from Konohagakure. Zaizens also has the ability to sense passively for a one kilometer range without the need to concentrate a great deal. It can be used to sense if his natural senses were blocked somehow.

He can also sense his immediate surroundings at all times, this in conjunction with his quick reflexes allows him increase his evasion rate.

     Keiji flexed the muscles of his stomach, testing to ensure that his injury wasn't debilitating. Didn't seem too bad, and his testing ended just in time for him to prepare for the enemies from above. Asuka moved to intercept, Keiji dodged to the side towards the positions of Masshiro, Zaizen, and his clone.

     "We'll worry about splitting up later, we've got no idea how strong these four might be!" He gestured for them to proceed forward and engage whoever came from the smoke. Keiji began weaving handseals from a crouched position by the trees.

     They could form pairs again once they were confident any one pairing could handle the outside, but for all they knew the strongest enemies here could be dropping down on them - Keiji didn't want to ruin their chances with a hasty split-up. At the moment, they were strongest as a group and besides, they'd lost the element of surprise.

     His clone ran to his sign, weaved his own signs, then released a vast quantity of water from his mouth - serving as both a defense for the real Keiji, in case a ranged attack came their way, and a source. Keiji weaved the 22 handsigns required for the Water Dragon jutsu and prepared to blast the first enemy he saw come out of the smoke.

    Looking up at the building, he looked back down, checking himself over as he had a few more pains than he thought as he began to move, giving a few grunts and trying to shake it off. For now they were far enough from the building to not be in direct speaking range or close enough to immediately help. With a moment of clarity, Masshiro once more activated his Jaakugan, allowing him to see specifically the vitality of the living beings left in the building, moving closer as he looked around, trying to find anyone from the bottom to the top, from the outside to in.

    Thankfully he could catch a glimpse of their two teammates moving inside despite the explosion, and from what he could tell, they were the only ones on quite a few floors doing so. 

"No one but Keiji and Asuka left on the first three floors as far as I can see, human or otherwise. Seems that explosion took out everyone on floor three and about half of what was on floor four. So if I'm counting right, that's five on four, and ten above that."

    Given he was using his vitality detection and not his chakra detection specifically, he couldn't see their specific strengths at the moment, but it didn't take much to know that fifteen was a whole lot less than what they started with.

"I can't specifically sense anyone outside, at least not between us and that building. Given how many of whatever and whoever is left in there, I'm not comfortable leaving them alone two against fifteen."

    Turning to look at Zaizen, it was clear most of what he was saying was directed at him all this time, but now he had a determined look on his face. He was heading back into that building with or without his permission or blessing. Turning towards Keiji's clone, he made a motion towards the building with his weapon, pointing.

"You shadow clones can relay information you learned when you are dispersed right? Need to let them know who's left and that we're on the way back."

    Looking at Zaizen again, Masshiro turned and took off full sprint towards the building, planning to scale right back up the side of it and back through the hole they were just blasted out of. Assuming by the time he was scaling the building and back into the hole they were thrown out of, he would have spotted the life energy of the four shadows, but kept low and silent, trying for a second time to sneak on floor three. If he was lucky, he wouldn't be blown back out of it this time.

Keiji now on the outside would find it difficult to communicate with Asuka who was still inside of the building. Asuka would hear no proper response as she inquired with Keiji on how to proceed, because the leader had left the building in this moment. The enemies from the smoking hole on her side had not yet attacked, but she would not need a lot of confirmation because hand seals were weaved and a huge amount of water suddenly poured into the hole from the inside, which inevitably meant the ceiling above Asuka would crumble a bit more from the impact... There was already a hole there anyway so it was just water washing away enemies and also pouring into Asuka's floor from the ceiling.

A bunch of shouting would be heard as the dragon managed

Zaizen suggested they stay back, and Masshiro did not agree. He waved towards Keiji's clone who had put up a water encampment and started bounding towards the building to try and get back into the hole that he had come from. It would be a little difficult due to the sheer amount of water that had poured in, but once he found an opening the enemies though swept back down a corridor were still there, slowly standing up groaning from the way the water had caught them. One was bleeding from his head - clearly having been caught by a doorway.

Provided Asuka didn't jump into the water now she could join Masshiro the floor above and perhaps mount an assault...

---

Back near the forest there was a sudden drop or what felt like drop... Zaizen would suddenly feel a huge amount of chakra signatures flood into his passive and active vision. The majority of which were civilian level, but there was one that was shining brighter than most... Just about thirty meters behind Zaizen.

"You know I wasn't going to let you take out me and my bosses hard work." The man would hear, loudly.

With her team leader heading towards her teammates the girl herself would recognize that there were 5 enemies directly above her and seeing the water rush down the girl would take the opportunity to try and make quick work of the room, she could sense Masahiro's advance meaning she'd at least have back up heading towards the next floor. After a short moment of concentration Asuka would open the first gate "The gate of opening." and upon arrival on the 4th floor the girl would use her fully realized speed and power in an effort to cleave through her opponents.

She would rush towards the first opponent she could find and would attempt to quickly smash them with a series of incredibly fast palm strikes to the face and end the sequence with a decapitating lariat in short order. She would then proceed to repeat this rapid fire sequence across the remaining 5 in an effort to dispatch them with relative ease.

Masahiro would more than likely be arriving in a scant few moment but she herself would've hopefully already cleared the room her clothing and parts of her face most likely covered in the blood of her adversaries, if he had arrived to meet her she would close the gate to conserve her energy for the final rush of enemies on the floor above them. "Masahiro-san, are you alright?" she'd say a scant few words of acknowledgement to her teammate as she heaved a bit taking a moment to recover her strength. "If so are you ready to head up?"

Just as Zaizen thought chakra signatures were closing in from around him, it was pretty clear from the amount of noise the group had made in the forest that additional mobs would start to come to the location it was only confirmed as Zaizen could feel enemies closing in from around them, for the most part, the chakra signatures were nothing major, but one directly behind Zaizen about 30 meters behind him came into his chakra sensory, it was larger signature to the ones that had encountered up to now as he spoke to Zaizen saying he would not let Zaizen take out him and his bosses hard work. Zaizen had a thought in his mind as this man might have information to help further the knowledge while capturing the man alive was not part of the mission it might prove useful, while unlikely he would give up any information freely. Zaizen fully turned his back to face the man face to face.

"Looks like your boss is more stupid than he looks then." Zaizen would not waste any more time with this enemy, others were approaching and it wasn't best to be in the open surrounded. Zaizen dashed backwards as he did he formed three hand signs as mist started to form around them even in the forest, but would take a little more time since the forest was dense, but soon a thick mist would surround the area helping to cover Zaizen's tracks as this enemy was likely to follow him. Zaizen's sensory keeping a track of the large signature, not before pulling out a kunai with an explosive tag attached and throwing it at the enemy. Zaizen using his sensory waited till the tag was close before denoting it, causing an explosion. Zaizen didn't expect it to do much as the enemy was likely prepared but would give him time till the mist was surrounding the area. Zaizen would continue to move not staying in one place using his sensory skills to keep track of enemies and the larger chakra signature in his vicinity.

     The real Keiji initially resolved to stay near to the forest line - seemingly a wise enough idea by the ambush that appeared from behind. Yet he spun around to watch Zaizen fill the area with mist, before disappearing off into it. Keiji called out to Masshiro.

     "Into the building!" he yelled. Zaizen could, from everything Keiji had seen in the war, handle this surprise attack by himself. He wasn't considered an elite Jounin for nothing. With his old commanding officer taking care of this front, the rest of the team could head inside.

     As the duo approached the building, Keiji asked for a sensory rundown of those remaining. With the rest of the team on it - three or four counting the clone - their odds seemed alright. Running on the surface of the water, he arrived to back up Asuka.

     Tanto in hand, he slid under the surface of the water and attempted to yank any remaining enemies underneath and then eviscerate them with the blade. Once this group was complete, the group of four (Masshiro, Asuka, Keiji, and his clone) would head up to the next floor.

     On their ascent, Keiji laid down a basic plan: himself, the clone, and Masshiro would attempt to debilitate or restrain enemies, and Asuka would use the Gates and/or Taijutsu to kill those who'd been rendered vulnerable.

    Before ever reaching the building the scene was already turning into a bit of a mess, and as much as he wished he could point fingers he was just as much to blame in truth given the explosion that had occurred to trigger this entire situation. For all the bodies, rushing water, running shinobi, and fighting, he kept heading back up and back into the building, heading directly for Asuka. Before ever reaching her he switched his Jaakugan back to sensing chakra instead of vitality, a single blink shading the color of his eyes.

    Immediately he noticed the change in her chakra specifically, as it stood out in the midst of her throwing blows, and as much as he would have liked to pretend otherwise, he wasn't familiar enough with her technique outside of being aware she had it. This was the first time he had seen the gates officially being open, and even though he could see nothing but her chakra signature as he moved closer, he could tell how impressive this technique was.

    By the time Masshiro arrived, it was a gruesome and amusing scene all in one, with his teammate having taken out most of the group unsurprisingly easily.

"Oh."

    Stopping a few feet short, his clothes soaked from the knees down from the way he rushed in, looking around the room.

"I'm fine."

    Despite being in the building again, his senses were still fully active, feeling the chakra signatures behind him towards where he had just left, turning around but too far to see or hear what was going on outside of those chakra signatures specifically with his Jaakugan.

"God damnit. Something or someone substantial just showed up."

    While he could feel the signature, it was far enough away to find it a bit hard to make out fully, and his Jaakugan could only see that there was something there, but clearly couldn't make out what. The longer he focused, the more he realized it wasn't just a single massive chakra signature but a big one amidst quite a few smaller ones, letting out a heavy frustrated sigh. He had faith that Zaizen could handle it, and he knew he was smart enough to fall back if he couldn't.

"Quite a few folks outside"

    Turning back towards Keiji, he knelt down in a squatting position as he squinted, looking out into the mist, trying to read the chakra signatures. Despite more than enough ability to dive into the fighting pile if need me, he was making a point to stay in a more supportive role for now, making sure they had someone focused on everything else for now, hoping not to get surprised again.

"Don't see anything Zaizen can't handle, but there are quite a few bodies, though they are clumped up so it's difficult to tell how many now through the mist."

    His grip on Uemori audibly tightened as he stood back up, rolling his shoulders.

"Lead the way, I'll back you two up and keep an eye on Zaizen best I can in the meantime."

I would know him in death At the end of the world Sourei Zaizen Asuka Waruichi Kuronmeru Keiji masshiro

A lot happened in a short span of time, Asuka ripped through the area before Masshiro, Keiji or the clone could properly arrive. The opponents did not have a spare moment to react either as they were just managing to stand up after being attacked by the water dragon. Whatever last minute attack Keiji mounted with the tanto was likely, overkill.

Once Keiji asked Masshiro on the count, what could immediately be surmised was that Zaizen was facing against one singular talented opponent with a significant chakra signature. The rest of the signatures were either civilian levels - which potentially meant no threat at all - or just above them, indicating that they might be under the influence of a drug. Whatever was present before clearly had blocked out sensory chakra very significantly. But now that had fallen apart and was visible.

Keiji laid out a simple plan and the group of four moved up.

If they were quiet enough, they would find that there were ten individuals, split up into five rooms in pairs. They were wandering around from room to room on occasion - in ten minute increments. Usually, one signature always remained in one room.

This meant that if they timed carefully they could take out their targets without ever being seen. Keiji's plan could very well work, if they approached carefully...

--

Zaizen summoned a thick mist, a signature of the village before throwing an explosive tag. The mist obscured vision significantly, but the way the kunai pierced the air and moved the mist was immediately obvious to Zaizen's opponent who jumped out of the way just as it detonated, managing to take on very few scrapes.

"Bastard." He huffed, sniffing the air before he started an approach towards Zaizen at a blistering speed. Indeed, a speed that could rival even Zaizen's somehow! Was it the drug?

Either way as he closed the distance he would attempt what seemed a pretty simple punch, except if Zaizen moved back he would be met with a bone extending out, practically chasing Zaizen in an attempt to hit him hard in his chest.

     As the party of four crested to the floor, Keiji turned back and set his finger upon his lips to impress the importance of stealth. Wordlessly, he slit his palm with the tanto and smeared a spot of black blood on the backs of Masshiro, Asuka, and the clone. He gestured to his eyes to indicate the purpose: by concentrating his chakra, he could track them through the floor.

     The clone sucked blood from the wound to fill his mouth in case, then sew it shut with a black thread. Keiji gestured that they should split up, but not venture too far from each other - roughly in two pairs, making every effort to stay silent. Asuka and the clone would head left, Masshiro and Keiji right. As the most experienced in stealth, the Keiji's took point to make sure both groups kept a low profile.

     Ensuring the coast was clear, they moved fast and hid behind interior corners wherever possible. The real Keiji cut his arm, kept a hand poised above the gaping wound to manipulate the blood so it would remain in place - when their first enemy appeared Keiji would lob congealed black blood at the foes' mouth to silence them as his partner dispatched them quietly. The clone would approximate the same with the blood he'd stored in his mouth.

[Asuka Waruichi]

JUST REMEMBER , ANYONE CAN MAKE A FIST

As her and her team made their way up the stairs she'd notice the chakra signatures fluctuationg throughout each room, there were always two in one room effectively moving in a cycle from what she could gather, moving as best she could with her team leader she'd wait for a signature to prop up in the room she was in and in doing so would rush the two opponents with her speed in the current room, removing their heads in the midst of a swift combination without giving them enough time to so much as scream.

And then repeat the same process rapidly around the corner in short order working along side Keiji in a swift and fast fashion, in essence dispatching 3 rooms worth of adversaries intercepting those who would seek to check the spare rooms.

Leaving no one alive in either room whilst also rapidly gaining on Massahiro removing 5 enemies in addition to the one that Keiji has dispatched for a total of 6. Careful not to move so fast that Mssahiro wasn't able to act in the process.

Asuka had done her best to kill of multiple birds with one stone using the limited amount of time she had in conjunction with the high level of speed she was able to move with whilst utilizing her newfound abilities in the 8 gates, effectively taking out 6 men in one go leaving 4 men for her compatriots to deal with.

MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES:


Summary:

Heavy Handed Iron Fist:
With the rigorous training that Asuka had to endure as she honed her body to levels of perfection rivaling that of any martial arts master. Asuka's strength has increased 10 fold to the point where she is able to crush stoned within her grasp and breaks bones of lesser individuals with ease. And while she still has much to learn as a chunin. The youth's power is not one to be challenged lightly, as she is able to perform physical feats that would seem inhuman to even most shinobi.

Hijutsu: Kinu no Eikyō:
Asuka is a member of the Waruichi clan and as such has the ability to control a special chakra infused silk that was forged by a special group of silkworms that feed on the corpses of dead clansmen. With it Asuka can craft and shape the silk to her will and uses it in a mostly supplementary fashion to aid her in battle alongside her powerful taijutsu skills.

Iron Burst:
As a sole practitioner of Taijutsu Asuka has relentlessly pushed her body against itself for spectacular results: her strength carries over into her speed, and as such alongside the control she exerts body in spirit and in mind, she is intensely faster than those of a similar level of strength and maneuvering expertly as if the air were an extension of her own body.

A Disciplined Iron Bull:
During Asuka's time as a genin the youth had begun to realize that in order to excel as a shinobi she needed to learn how to properly utilize her chakra. And while she doesn't posses the greatest of reserves the youth has learned through rigorous meditation how to keep her chakra still and calm. As a result she is now able to wield it with a great deal of control and is able to channel only the necessary amounts of chakra into the few jutsu she uses in order to make the most of their abilities whilst still being able to keep up in a fight.
