Tashi had few stolen glances towards Maki's more tighter and part own way more revealing attire. But he did not stare and focused to lead. Once in cave listening Maki's comments he smiled faintly and replied; "I found this place accident, in up stream I lost something and I leaped down here to try catch it. But seeing I did not see it flowing out I came in search for it. The item had got stuck in the rock which was adjacent to the entrance. So perfect training and hiding spot both same time."<br/><br/>Tashi however became more serious and he said; "But we did not come here just admire the place, as said I promised show you the technique which no one outside Mibu clan knows about. In here I could practice it without launching it to random direction and set forest on fire." Now that Tashi mentioned it, Maki could see several scorch marks everywhere in cavern walls. Moist underground cavern is exactly what you would need when you would practice a fire jutsu if you have trouble control it.<br/><br/>Tashi started talk while moving a cloth pile in corner; "In ancient times Mibu clan has possessed red eyes, all long way before first shinobi war was ever started. It's origin is mystery to even to us Mibu clan. But we had always been aware of the madness the using eyes will bring to user. As strain to force your body to chakra overdrive is pushing you into reckless frenzy and it causes varied levels harm in mental level, or rather, adapts the mind to endure better in frenzy but it means person's temper grows shorter, adrenaline flows easier and so on. After somepoint the madness would hit you permanently and even when your eyes are not active you have turned into bloodthirsty beast who hungers for blood. Now, if you do not possess true red eyes you cannot use no other than taijutsu techniques, as frenzy overcomes all rest mental capacity.<br/><br/>Because of the madness the Mibu clan has learned as part of our clan culture accept that sacrifices should not be afraid to be done when they are meant for some nobler cause. Like protect your family and clan. In Shinobi war when clan lived as wandering nomads we hired ourselves whoever offered highest for our warriors and so we extended nobility into a warrior code of honor where we honor agreements even to bitter end. As after all shinobi is not determined how he lives, but rather how he dies."<br/><br/>Tashi slides off the cloth to reveal dozen burned crispy katana swords, he takes one so he can show it to Maki while he continues the story; "However some disliked to throw their lives away in final pout of madness and hoped they could continue serve while longer when they reached their limits. So one ancestor then founded the philosophy of the four ultimate guardians; Suzaku the phoenix as southern guardian, Seiryuu the water dragon as western guardian, Byakko the fierce merciless wind tiger as eastern guardian. There was tales of northern guardian but it's identity is forgotten to the history or is secret lore somewhere. None the less the ancestor had pushed himself to limit in use of red eyes, knowing if he enters that state even one more time he is certainly going mad.<br/><br/>The said ancestor developed then unique ninjutsu which benefits experienced swordsman, channel the powerful melee strike in form of primal elemental attack which allows user channel their own life essence or blood into the attack to unleash already devastating technique further fierce power. Because of this the technique is considered kinjutsu but it has never considered obstacle to learn it inside the clan. After all, the technique asks sacrifice to use and careful timing and use of it is critical along with consideration and determination and also forethought about taking risk; what if attack misses? So even knowing basic technique teaches many valuable things to student what comes to technique use and being shinobi. However once you reach absolute mastery of the techniques you can use them safely without harm. The collection of all ninjutsu related to this craft are known as<em>Muryou Saikyou Ryuu</em>; Ultimate Destruction Style."<br/><br/>Tashi taps the crispy katana and he says; "However the time I used technique I knew how do it but I lacked enough chakra to use it or experience channeling it. So it was fluke when I did but I did it during in absolute sharp focus which overcame my weakness one time only. I practiced years in this cave and burned both myself, several katanas and walls in here until I mastered the technique enough to activate it, even if using it harms me also." Tashi throws the crispy used katana into bile with a ring of steel and he moves his hand over handle of his katana and he says; "So, I now show you first of the three techniques what comes following the path of Suzaku, southern guardian, grants to Mibu warrior who has learned to use the technique."<br/><br/>Tashi slowly draws the katana from scabbard, hold it relaxed stance he turns towards one stalagmite in the cavern he speaks when he starts channel chakra already inside him; "Technique is called<em>Rekka Koha</em>; Blazing Dark Wings." Now his katana started warm up, blade slowly glowing red as if by great heat. Tashi raises his blade slowly up while heat increases in his sword and start illuminate the cavern with red blazing heat what Maki could feel even few feet away! See how heat scorches Tashi's hand but with focus he continues talk with not even single whimper of pain in his voice; "With Rekka Koha you channel your chakra through your hand into steel of your sword itself, keep pushing and gushing it towards tip of the sword until minor aspect of Suzaku is given birth to and shaped up by image which you have in mind....." On tip of the blade starts form sparks which spit towards the air and with circling sizzle the sparks collide and explode into tiny brilliant fiery image of a raptor! A bird of prey! Tashi then finished; "....once finished you just strike and send wrath of Suzaku to single target in medium range!"<br/><br/>Tashi then swinged his blade forward in quick powerful arch and send the blazing bird off the tip of his sword screeching with loud screech similar to cry of a hawk and with fiery bright white blast it connects with stalagmite and leaves scorched surface along with deep slash onto the stone itself! After attack was launched the glow in Tashi's katana starts disappear and calm down. Tashi moved towards the pond in the cavern, placing katana onto water it releases steam while he places his now slightly burned hand onto pond's cooling waters when he dares then release a sigh of relief to soothe his pain in his hand and says; "A pretty darn impressive pull that off as fluke in that day years ago, but figures pushing myself to kill in absolute focus and able mold chakra to do this along awakening of true red eyes made it possible. I have not yet mastered this technique to use it safely but it should be devastating enough take even one enemy down if I surprise the foe while using speed trance and attacking from ambush. I did not empower the technique there as I did when I did the fluke, but result is that flames escape from blade itself to scorch me further but make the bird bigger. Also blast is bigger but still hits only one target."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tashi performs his technique as full round action, but he kinda also explained stuff while doing it so it took full turn to use it so Maki can observe and see everything. Anyways Tashi succeeds automatically in ninjutsu check to use Rekka Koha (he has first mastery and also 8 ranks in ninjutsu). But here is 23 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35621) roll if you need it.<br/><br/>Edit; Spend 1 AP to get 28 result in ninja lore (roll linked in OOC).<br/></div></div>
