SS-Rank Living Shadow.

After being sent out to an area for reconnaissance about a strange beast plaguing the Great Jungles near Konoha Echo Uchiha set out to find this beast and kill it if need be, He carries all his equipment for this mission, His Item pouches strapped to his right hip while his Ninjato 'Heavens Sorrow' is sheathed on his left. His cloak is draped over his shoulders concealing his hands and body other then his feet and head his Anbu mask showing the image of a snarling Kitsune ready to pounce.

The area Echo is in now is a large grassy hill down the northern side of the hill where Echo is facing is a marsh with a large cliff face and cave marking the bottom, The waters are ankle deep providing a slippery field if Echo were to step off his perch on the hill.

Behind Echo is a wall of tree's providing gaps and Darkness to hide in if need be, Echo keeps staring forward taking in the images of several rocks sticks and logs that could be used for substitution if need be 'The Log is good...Amen' Echo comments mentally as he breathes in preparing for a fight as soon as the beast steps out from hiding...Echo's frame flickers for a moment but just a moment...What could that have been? Any onlooker would wonder.

Spoiler:

Bump.

Bump.

{Taking over NPC for the mission.}

The loud call of the beast suddenly fills the area, mighty wing beats come from above as it soars overhead, the jet streams buffeting the area with enough force to blow over a full grown tree, the beast vanishes behind him over top the forests tree tops, crashing is heard as the beast lands within the darkness behind the child roughly one hundred meters away, the audible cracking of the trees making it highly noticeable in where it landed.

{Short sorry, long day.}

The bunshin is quickly dispelled by the force of the winds and the tree's.

Echo's eyes widen his chakra flowing to his feet to cement himself down turning his head slowly as he begins swiftly side stepping the falling tree's with a quick push of his left and right foot respectively before diving into the shadows his cloak blending him in seamlessly.

After a few moments of waiting he begins lightly stepping towards the beasts left flank hiding in the shadows of the tree's and behind them the use of his ANBU cloak being made liberal now standing twenty feet from the beasts position.

After a moment his image flickers and he ghosts through the tree into view of the beast preparing a plan in his head.

The beasts roar is produced, the creature is revealed to be shaped much like a normal cougar, but alongside it's fur is jet black scales that layer it's entire body, it's mighty limbs planted firmly upon the ground with feline claws upon it's paws, its wings exist as armored skin with sharp bladed scale protrusions between the wrists of it's arms and it's upper ribs, the beasts eyes glow blood red as it surveys the area, it's height truly something as it stands at twenty feet with a length of thirty including it's spiked tail, the creature inspects the forests as its senses are alerted to another presence that drifts through the trees, it spins in place as it's tail acts as an axe toppling the surrounding trees in a circle and sending them flying in to the forest, the trees set to impact the position of the young shinobi as the beast clears room for itself to maneuver.

Hearing the roar Echo's instincts kick into high gear as he leaps upwards springing upwards with adrenaline as his space time migration activates,the trees flying under him successfully evading them, he smirks behind the mask.
With a burst of chakra into the air he utilizes the passive of his raging storm god to fly towards the beast letting out a challenging roar to face off with the obviously territorial beast, as this occurs Echo's right hand slides into the pouch attached under his cloak the sound of paper sliding against fabric sounding to the beast as the cloak is blow apart revealing his armor and shoulders his right hand drawing back as he flies in a straight on collision flying at ground level now.

The beast snarls, it watches him evade the trees as it's muscles tighten, it's low growl is produced as it's eyes turn a deeper shade of red, it breaks in to a run forward towards the shinobi as he flies towards it quickly closing the gap between them, the beasts jaws snap forward attempting to snatch the shinobi within them.

As the Beast open's it's maw Echo's right hand thrusts out revealing three Explosive tags, he phases through the beast and exits through the base of the tail flying upward...his hands now empty a wide smirk on his face as his brings his hands together forming the snake seal he screams out from his position "NOW WITNESS ART IN THE MAKING!!!!!" His chakra flashes setting off the explosive tags left within the beasts stomach cavity as he floats ten feet in the air not letting his intangibility drop for even a moment in case this beast is more resilient then he thought.

The beasts mighty jaws snap closed, strange enough the boy slips through them, an odd feeling is within the pit of it's stomach as it skids to a stop spinning to face the boy, it let's out a roar before the tags go off, the insides of the beast erupting as it is toppled falling on it's left side blood bursting from it's mouth as it lays dead upon the ground, it's internal organs blown to pieces.
