Introductions...[Multiple Abilities Training, P]

In the morning hours of a new day in Konoha ANBU Captain 'Kitsune' slept peacefully in his exhaustion in the office of his brother the Hokage the doors locked and the curtains drawn leaving no room for peaking inside, his posture shows his exhaustion in his deep sleep his mask cloak and weapons still attached to him in all places.

He snoozes for another minute of so before something calls out to him "Boy...Wake up" something calls which Echo ignores but it calls again a little louder this time "Wake up you impudent Ningen!" the figure says a little louder Echo's eyes opening as he looks around his right hand immediately going to his weapons pouch, his senses are on high alert as he scans the room...."Who's there..?" he calls out...and he is answered.

A deep chuckle echoes inside his head causing Echo to narrow his mind immediately coming to the conclusion of a genjutsu, He flares his chakra in an attempt too break it which simply causes the voices booming laughter to increase in volume Echo's eyes twitching in annoyance. "Your an amusing one eh Ningen?" the voice says it's voice filled with mirth and anger Echo growling in response the image of the snarling Kitsune on his mask becoming more appropriate for the feral roar Echo's eyes unknowingly slitting red in his anger and adrenaline fueled wake up call a red veil forming around him "SHOW YOURSELF AND I'LL SHOW YOU JUST HOW AMUSING I CAN BE!!!" Echo roars out the prospect of his 'attacker' looking down on him filling him with rage- Echo's eyes widen at the amount of blood-lust he's feeling and breathes in composing himself once more the voice chuckling at Echo as the veil vanishes "Your more moronic then my last container..." it says Echo's eyes widening in realization as the red chakra vanishes from his system "Kyuubi?! But..the Seal it should-" A roar of pure rage and anger causes Echo to clutch his head in pain as the Kyuubi no Kitsune roars it's reply "YOUR SEAL IS WEAK!!!!" he bellows Echo briefly pondering if he could break it...and tries his luck, forming a smirk Echo channels as much of his brother's arrogant tone as he can in this new role..'The Jailor' "If it's so weak....break it" Echo says in a tone filled with cruel amusement a chuckle accentuating his words...Echo could almost feel the Bijuu's glare as it goes silent and stays that way.

Echo's head now free of his tenants voice ponders what fool did his seal...it was supposed to block the beast from speaking with him as he's seen his brother talking with his monster and the prospect of Kyuubi's wrath frightened Echo although he'd never admit that he feared anything to anyone...he was ANBU the fearless and the strongest of the village and not only that he was the Commander of the ANBU forces just under the Hokage himself in the ladder of authority.

Echo sighs and ponders just exactly what this beasts presence grants him....Echo remembered the acidic properties that Viper obtained from the Slug....what would the Fox grant him...? [WC=523 First tail Mastered.]

His mind made up Echo swirled from existence and appeared in his favorite training ground; Training Ground 11, where many of Echo and Viper's spars have taken place, with a bit of hesitation caused by the blood lust felt from before Echo concentrates and begins channeling the Kyuubi's chakra his eyes slitting as he continues on, slowly does he begin to undertake the process of drawing on the chakra from the seal his canines forming into something clearly feral behind his mask an ominous red glow beginning to take shape around him as he lowers himself lightly crouching like a predator ready to pounce.

Slowly does he move forward his eyes locked on a tree as he steps forward...once...twice and suddenly he blurs away in a streak of red a tail forming behind him as it glows with an ethereal power Echo's 'claws' slashing through the bark of the tree with ease before his tail shoots forward curling over his back and wrapping around the tree before he roars to the sky still in control but...enjoying the destruction as he crushes the tree in the grasp of the burning red tendril of the tail, 'What a magnificent creature you are Kyuubi no Yoko...' he thinks intending to project his thoughts to the beast chuckling ferally as he does so....he gets no response which irks him slightly...not even a cocky 'Naturally' from the beast...even Viper would grant him that....it still looked down on him he thought with more quiet fury.

He roared as he channeled more chakra unknowingly another tail forming next to the other his mind clouded slightly...but he remains in his control his will strong as he dashes forward his arms extending behind him the ethereal claws around Echo's hands curling inward as he leaps up from his left foot at an angle sent into a spiral towards several tree's his claws whipping outwards and his tail curving over his head lashing out at anything in front of him carving through the mess of tree's with a feral roar 'HE'D SHOW THE KYUUBI JUST WHO HE WAS SEALED INTO!!!' he thought furiously landing and skidding slightly in a crouch before he straightens up his arms returning to his side as he lets out a loud booming chakra enhanced roar his chakra claws extending and slamming into the earth as he begins going through kata of his style of fighting...ironically named 'Fox-kata' for it's trick based nature he developed it with the help of his brother Koroshi to counter-act the Uchiha's 'Interceptor fist' a style known to compliment the Sharingan, Echo created this as an insult to his arrogant clan and their foolish bloodline...a style that keeps the user from entering into the visual range of his opponent and uses very little movement the Sharingan tracking muscle contortions and shoulder movements to predict attacks, Echo's cloak cuts out the possibility of a Sharingan user reading his muscles so all he has to worry about is the rotation of his hips and shoulders, Echo blurs through his kata in a blurring of red front kick side kicks spiraling hand stand push kicks all enhanced to deadly proficiency by the power of the Kyuubi no Yoko, [539 Words. Second tail mastered] his left foot snaps outward suddenly coated in the malevolent red as quick as his foot snapped out it was back in it's place behind him in his stance his right fist shooting forward his body curving with it on the toe of his foot red claws forming around his fist even as he clenches it...an ominous clue as to what would become of someone on the receiving end of that punch, He chuckles again as he goes through a punching combination, left jab, right uppercut followed by an elbow as he steps forward aiming for the chest of the invisible opponent followed by the pushing off of his tails a third one suddenly forming to assist his leap from the ground sending him springing forward not very high as he flips forward and slams his right heel down in an axe kick into the ground causing a deep groove to appear the chakra pushing off from his feet sending him in a black flip landing crouched on all fours as he growls his tails thrashing wildly behind him as if daring an opponent to step closer a deep grin forming behind his mask.

'Still gonna be silent in there while I'm showing you up!?' He demands inside his head once again receiving nothing...but he could feel the mocking grin of the beast his eyes narrowing as the red slits are still in place as he roars and charges towards the tree's again springing off from his low to the ground run his legs already bent in the dash, he lunges forward and lashes out with his right claw snapping the tree in half flinging it to echo's right which he then steps on using his left hand as a pulling point as he flips over then pushes off before the tree could even hit the ground, he leaps high above the tree tops and stays afloat the wind around him stained red as he flies forward and dives towards the tree's roaring once more as he begins spinning like a blazing red drill of pure rage and power cutting through the tree tops sending leaves and splintered wood chunks flying all over the place the ones managing to dig into his flesh are thrown out and the wounds are sealed shut with a vicious hiss, his red slitted eyes take in many details and he breathes in the scents of the tree's leaves and the splintered wood, he suddenly flies upward as if jet which the pilot pulled up on twisting as he rises into the air, he stops a decent thirty yards high glaring down at a tree with a wide base an evil grin spreads across his features behind the image of the snarling Kitsune as he finds his new 'prey' his right hand opens at his side as a blue mass of chakra swirls in his gloved palm dispersing the red slightly before it blends in...a chuckle is heard from the ANBU Captain before he shouts "YOU READY TO SEE POWER FLEABAG!!!?" he shouts his fangs would be fully visible with the grin if it weren't for his mask...he once again receives no response and he roars in a feral rage as he shoots forward[WC=535 Words Third tail mastered] quickly closing the distance Echo's arm shoots forward the mass of swirling chakra drilling into the bark of the tree ravaging the construct of nature as it splits outwards and almost explodes sending the upper half of the tree spiralling upwards before it's flung behind him, Echo stands and waits...before the laughter of the Kyuubi returns to his ears "AND WHAT'S SO FUNNY FUZZBUTT!?" Echo asks his voice deeper and his tone filled with a growl from the malevolent chakra the Kyuubi replying after a moment "Kit your so easy to rile up! It's quite entertaining to watch you squirm in your rage and attempt to 'Show up' a being so far above you you wouldn't even know what to do about it..." Echo growls in response letting the chakra leave him as he once again stands straight, Echo grimaces his form swirling and vanishing as he says one more thing to the Kyuubi before giving it the cold shoulder once he returns to his office "We'll see Fuzzbutt"

The Kyuubi awakens inside the cage as his jailor does the Kyuubi sighs inwardly..his Warden lead a very boring work filled life from what he's seen waking up in his office like normal and sliding on that mask that seems to mimic his visage..that of the Great and powerful Kyuubi no Yoko!

Kyuubi rolled his eyes at the preparation the boy makes clipping on armor piece after armor piece blade after blade always the same place too, Heavens Sorrow on left hip Tonfa blasters clipped to the back of his belt and weapons pouch on right hip followed by his bracers with those hidden blades and his gauntlets, the Grieve Edges intrigue the Kyuubi for a moment before he shakes the thought away...he'd look ridiculous wearing those on his paws Kyuubi's left eye twitches in annoyance as he pictures himself standing on his hind legs with the grieve edges a cape and a hat gracing his features a thin blade at his side which he draws and brandishes forward before Kyuubi bangs that thought from his head by slamming it into the bars of his prison.

Kyuubi wonders where that thought came from briefly before silently swearing to never think of it again..oh the brat's putting the Mask back on oh and here comes the cloak which seems to shroud the boys body in darkness....At least this new warden seemed to know how to kill without much trouble, since he was sealed inside the boy he watched from his cage as Echo completed his daily duties, ANBU role call which consisted of his two assistants 'Boar' and 'Parrot' as the only other active ANBU is at the hospital with his nephew or something followed by Attacks drills, Sparring drills espionage training and of course the art of stealth, his Warden seems to be rather proficient with such pulling off assassination drills with the utmost finesse that make the Kyuubi wonder just how the boy handles live targets as he drives that Kunai he holds into a corrupt politicians neck.


Echo was going through his routines like normal even as he feels his tennant stir in his head...what a situation this was...A pre Madonna Bijuu...that's just his luck he was hoping for a partner not a Monster wanting to kill and eat him from the inside out....not to mention the humming in the middle of the night...the Kyuubi is a strange one actually humming and keeping Echo awake a bit later then he'd like and the Foxes voice was not something he'd like to listen too constantly thus...Echo was irritable something his two cute little subordinates picked up on quite quickly and they prepared themselves with grim determination for what they knew would come of their Captains bad mood...still that didn't stop them from flinching when Echo bellowed out "ATTACK DRILLS NOW!! COME AT ME!!" the Two ANBU flinch and hop but comply drawing their regulation Katana and splitting up and vanishing in the Shadows Echo waiting in the center of the room the red chakra of the Kyuubi being channeled four tails forming behind him[527 Words, Fourth tail mastered]...which just makes the two 'Eep' from the darkness, They heard tales of Echo's exploits before the attack how he was the ANBU's worst enemy a prankster of the Highest caliber making the veteran and rookie Anbu work to catch him and label him as the greatest enemy of the ANBU....a smaller then normal 11 year old boy they labeled as the 'Green Devil' causing the ANBU to go on strike until they got a raise in their salary at one point...The thought made the two shudder to think what Ech- Their Captain Kitsune is capable of now.

The Two subordinates rushed him from their position before a flash of red occurred and the two were slammed onto their backs by two well placed blow from their Captains right fist and left foot Echo picking up on their positions....because they forgot to skip polishing their blade causing the light to glint off of it "NAIVE!! I TOLD YOU TO NOT POLISH YOUR BLADES!!! YOUR STEALTH IS COMPROMISED!!!" He shouts the two ANBU subordinates jumping to their feet side by side and nervously saluting as they stutter out a "Y-Yes Captain!"-"Y-Yes Captain!" before Echo gestures with his head towards the door in dismissal to allow them to return to their normal duties Boar as ANBU's Sealing Expert and Parrot as ANBU's Medic.

Echo feels the Chakra veil forming again in his annoyance and let's it flow through him a fifth tail forming this time...Echo finds rather then fighting the influence he should let it flow but keep a calm head it allows the chakra to flow easier Four tails forming this time as his eyes slit and burn red and his fangs look ready to kill from behind his mask the subordinates marveling at the sight of their young Captain..they thought he moved faster then normal they weren't up to standard but they were still ANBU which was just a few tiers above Jounin in command and power...not even Captain Echo could swat them aside normally..it was ANBU standard procedure to be aware of how to defend themselves against a Jinchuuriki and even how to seal a Bijuu in times of emergency, they walked out to continue their duties with these thoughts leaving Echo by himself.

Echo sighs to himself going through his normal Kata once more in order to learn to channel the Kyuubi's chakra without losing control of himself his hands blurring suddenly as he grins forming into the shape of a knife with his fingers as he lashes out with twice swipes from his left followed by his right and then a stab forward from his left once more...the Hougetsu Jigen Tou or Moon crushing Dimensional Sword is a technique he mastered a month ago just after his brother's departure...well not Master...but he's close! he can use the first form of the technique just fine and it's incredible just how powerful this technique is with the enhancements granted by the Kyuubi's chakra. [500 Words, Fifth tail Mastered]

Echo leaps forward aided by the now three of his tails pushing off the ground as he continues to slash at his imaginary opponent the tips of his other three tails lashing forward in unison with his arms the tails extending and whipping back as they attempt to sneak through the imaginary opponents guard the ethereal lances of blazing red lashing forward as Echo's Jigen Tou coated hands slash forward stabbing slicing and thrusting followed by well timed snap kicks and upper cuts from the lower tails the other two tails behind him acting as extra feet to help push his speed along and leave him five legs to leap with rather then two Echo's agility increasing due to his ingenuity, Echo swerves spinning on his left heel as his arms shoot straight out still coated in his Jigen Tou and blazing red chakra the two tails spinning him at a fast rate making the young ANBU Captain appear like a blazing red top of destruction three tails spinning him on his heel and pushing him forward and keeping his balance as his other three lash out like flaming spears his Jigen Tou proving to be able to slice through anything in his path the tails acting as balancers and extra defense for Echo's top like spin of destruction where he becomes a maelstrom of death and activity before he skids to a stop his right leg extending as he stands still in a crouch before he leaps forward and continues slashing and cutting at the imaginary foe with his dimensional blade of death, the perfect assassination technique requiring just a simple knife hand strike to deal a death blow to an opponent..Echo grins behind his mask at the thought of striking down a monster of some sort with this perfect sword of his crowds cheering his name as he stands triumphantly over the beasts corpse...but that's not possible he thinks in a slightly bitter way...he's an ANBU and ANBU don't get notoriety they are the perfect assassins they don't even exist as far as most know....and most of Echo's targets are presumed missing...not dead...Never found were the bodies of the ANBU Captains quarry the threats to the Hidden Leaf taken out with not so much as a sound as to why, Echo is not a wicked man....Wicked man enjoy posturing and telling their prey why their killing them...Echo is a kind and just soul....so he kills them with not so much as a word.

The Blazing red chakra ripples around Echo's nimble form as he keeps up the Jigen Tou and the striking of his Chakra cloaks tails quick precise knife hand strikes, snap kicks which lash out like viper's striking an intruder and recoiling leaving no chance to counter attack and the blazing destruction the red tails provide are make Echo seem like a well oiled machine as he strikes over and over again his strikes always aiming to disable the imaginary opponent aiming for the vital points of the Heart, Chest right where the Lungs are located, the Liver, Kidney and the Spleen several arteries look as if they'll also be torn asunder by the Maelstrom of activity that is the ANBU Captain Kitsune. [544 Words, Sixth tail Mastered]

Inside the Cage the Kyuubi watches his warden with interest "...Three days...and already Six tails of my power is his..." he rumbles to himself slightly impressed....the boys amount of mental control is amazing his spirit is like steel and his will unbreakable...he also seems to know how to pace himself...the Kyuubi scowls inside it's cage as it tails slam against the ground in anger as it watches more of it's chakra leave it to empower the Ningen, There must be a way to make him lose control and release the seal...he thinks breathing out a sigh as he wracks his brain for a solution to his imprisonment in all his experience he's never once had such a container able to force his will this early over his power....not even to himself will the Kyuubi admit the prospect of what this boy will become in the future frightens him 'He will face me in the cage like the other fool did...' Kyuubi says his eyes glowing red in his rage against the world for taking his only friend since Rikudo-Jiji from him.....Echo is good....but he will never be Naruto Uzumaki Kyuubi refuses to accept him as a container as he once accepted Naruto no one could match that brats strength and determination when the Volcano took Naruto from the world it took Kyuubi's happiness as well...and the world would pay for nothing crosses the Kyuubi no Kitsune and gets away with it's life in tact, Kyuubi Roars out loud inside it's cage and begins slamming against the walls in a mad sorrow induced path of destruction within it's confines...but it leaves no damage which just serves to add to the Kyuubi's fury....this slip up of will from the Kyuubi inadvertently aiding Echo in the form of the chakra it was holding back being drained...giving Echo one more step closer to their inevitable confrontation....Two Wills will clash....but not this day.

Echo chuckles with a deep resounding malevolence added to it as it echoes off the walls a seventh tail forming as Echo kicks forward the power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune continuing to fuel his progress as he lashes out his Jigen Tou still active on his left hand as he grins behind his mask as he draws more of the Kyuubi's power the image of th snarling Kitsune painted on his mask glowing a deep red as his arms blur forward in a flash of red and streaks of white as he combines the Jigen Tou with the power of Kyuubi, he practices his speed and retreating techniques now as he back pedals away from an imaginary opponent swiping every so often with his Jigen Tou as he blurs backwards and leaps away from imaginary fireballs and lightning strikes not staying on the ground for more then a few moments as he cart wheels back flips leaps and strikes out when the opponent get's too close and drops his guard.

The tactic of shadow boxing is how Echo's trained himself since the days before the academy even accepted him and his brother's, he smiles at the memory of the first day of his academy when his brother Koroshi picked up a desk and slammed it into one of the brats that was bullying Echo, he chuckles before lashing out again at the imaginary attacker, Koroshi was always over protective of him and Viper.....GOD WHERE IS THAT BLONDE OX!!! IT'S BEEN MONTHS NOW!!! He thinks with his left eye twitching in annoyance knowing there would be no way for his brother to die out in the wilderness or even in the catastrophe where the Two lost the third Koroshi is....too much like Koroshi for that to happen, Echo back flips pushing off with his right hand as he leaps to his feet and then let's all his tails surge forward at once in a crouched position as the imaginary opponent is impaled from all sides and Echo chuckles in victory.[675 Words, Seventh tail mastered]

Echo let's the chakra drop from his frame as he let's out a small sigh of exertion and let's the Jigen Tou go down, he turns towards the door of the slightly damaged training room in order to head to the showers to clean himself after his work out...he smells like sweaty fox...He leaps through the door and barrels down the hallway his feet pushing upwards as he connects to the left wall and makes a chakra enhanced dash through the halls leaping back and forth from left to right as he zig zags through the corridor, He's happy at his success in his training and the prospect of mastering his Hougetsu Jigen Tou his grin looking as if it'd split his face in half from behind his mask, he chuckles as he blurs past Parrot who's carrying a box of medical tape and she yelps in fear from his antics which just causes him to burst out laughing from her outburst "KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK THERE PARROT!!!" He shouts behind his back watching the Female ANBU stomp in frustration and grumble about crazy little ANBU kids which causes Echo to snicker as he rounds a corner taking a quick left in which he leaps atop the ceiling and begins running upside down dodging the hanging lamps by swerving around them Echo half tempted to start making race car noises....but he decides against it....that might lose him more dignity then he'd like, though he's still in a good mood...tonight he's getting Dango and reading his book! paperwork be damned!!! That's what Shadow clones are for!

Echo slows down and hops from the ceiling landing beside the door of the showers before stepping in to prepare to relax, he un clips his grieve edges kneeling down to remove his sandals then he removes his Heavens Sorrow Ninjato and Two Tonfa blasters, then he slides off his bracers and gauntlets also shedding his cloak, finally free of the weight of his weaponry Echo's breathes a sigh of relief and then slides off his mask laying it on a table near the closed off shower...It's good to be the Captain...Private showers so he can relax~ Echo chuckles at the thought before stepping in his clothes being flung over the closed screen....he get's nervous around the stress filled Kunoichi of the ANBU....he's seen some of them....Eying him in that way...the fact that he's thirteen and most of the Kunoichi are ten years his Senior make Echo feel a bit uncomfortable...still the showers are nice.

Running water Echoes throughout the area....several flashes suddenly going off causing Echo to curse as a definitely female shape runs away holding a camera and giggling Echo rushing out in a towel grabbing his mask and sliding it over his face.
