New Horizon? (OPEN, ECHO's ORDERS)

Kiru would have been more impressed if several blades had appeared at his neck before he could notice. Not much really frightened him after Maku's tests, so Kiru felt like this was just simply a rather unneeded yell. The boy near him had been affected, but his answer was good, at least to Kiru. Thinking of the lies and betrayals already suffered to him in his village, he should be a great shinobi by now, at least with the qualifiers of pain and agony brought up. 

Kiru began to smile, in an almost excited fashion. This man was what being powerful meant. Commanding shinobi not even apart of his village with a few siimple words. This was a man who could turn the tide of battle simply by appearing. Kiru was pretty pleased that he had someone so good willing to teach him. "As a Ninja of Yukigakure, I will become a Shinobi."

He had zoned out... Lost in his thought; beneath his black and blue wolf mask his eyes were blank. How had he come to this point was a question in itself.  A slight nudge from his wolf ninken Shiroi would snap him back into the current reality. Daiyuki had noticed another ninja had joined the conglomerate of able bodies at attendance.  Daiyuki watched everyone intently, As he was a predator among prey. The lust for blood coursed through his veins, something had happen to him since his last encounter with the leader of Yukigakure.  Unbeknownst the seal on his back responded and reacted accordingly as it would flare in a transparent and vaguely visible purple and black aura.  Thump Thump....Thump Thump... The cadence of his heartbeat was growing louder and more wild..Daiyuki watched the man whose intention seemed hellbent in placing fear in gathered shinobi hearts.

Just as Daiyuki was about get swept away  in his thoughts, the atomosphere had began to darken. Thump Thump THUMP THUMP...... Daiyuki's heartbeat was rapidly increasing. The wave of killing intent flooded the area like a blanket of fog. As he struggled to breathe Daiyuki would instantaneously fall to his knees only to brace himself on the back of his wolf. A bead of sweat would break on his forehead beneath his mask, his mouth widen into sadistic half smile as his whole body would shake uncontrollably with a darkened laughter..... he craved more of the aura. The animal in Daiyuki responded as in rage filled howl his wolf would follow suit.

Giera was happy that it didn't seem to provoke the leader of the group much. On the contrary, the question seemed welcome, by other members of the group too, who patiently waited for an answer. Giera was satisfied with the definition. He thought back to the time, where he and his family and fled Kirigakure, as it crumbled and fell. As they had run for the habor, he had looked back, and seen countles of men throwing themselves into the flames and chaos, the monster had startet. So these were shinobi. Those men that had sacrificed themselves for the peope in the village. Had witnessed their comrades fall around them, but endured. Giera looked up at the sun, and suddenly its warm embrace didn't feel so bothersome. Giera was ready. It was time for him to repay the debt he owed those men, that had then sacrificed themselve for his sake, without even knowing his name. He was going to honour them, and follow in their footsteps.

Another young ninja showed up to the group, and asked after Echo Uchiha. Giera thought he had somehow heard whispers of this name, but more as a legend, rather than an actual person. What did this person want with a lot like them? This wasn't just a powerful person seeking loyal subjects. This wasn't just a hobby a man had taken onto himself, to train young shinobi. Something bigger was at stake... Giera didn't like this new piece of information. On the other hand, if someone was going to make Giera shinobi, he wanted it to be this man. Right now Giera was too dumbfound to poor a word over his lips, and just as he was about to form words from his thoughts, something happened to his right.


A boy, with a wolf by his side, suddenly fell to his knees. Being consumed by his own thoughts, Giera hadn't noticed this before now, which seemed somehow, be too late. Giera moved his left foot backwards, and took on a stance, where he was able to react to any sudden movements. There was no obvious reason to this, but this just felt bad. Nothing but bad intention seemed to come from the person, as he was clearly struggleing with something. "Are you al-" Giera was about to ask, when the boy suddenly howled an intimidating howl along with his animal companion.

Upon hearing the man answer, Mugen processed every word that was spoken in his head, trying to figure out the best way he should respond. Being a shinobi meant to endure, meant to bleed, to even cry for their village...and their own interest. Did he even have any interests to bleed for, or have loyalty strong enough to do such a thing for his village? The boy closed his eyes for a moment to focus on his thoughts and his thoughts only. ...It wasn't just a village. It was his home, his haven, the place he created new memories and new comrades. His interest was to get stronger and protect his home, protect those close to him. If the only way he would be able to do it was to become a shinobi, then so be it. If along the way he has to go through multiple challenges and put his life on the line, then so be it. He would do it.

However, despite finally coming to a final decision, it suddenly became difficult to speak. It became difficult to breath. It became difficult to even...stand. Mugen tried to move away, even as much as taking a step back would be acceptable for him. He couldn't. Something was holding him back and was making his legs turn into jelly.

What is this feeling...?!

The man then bellowed out his question, one final time. That was the final push. The demonic tone in his voice, the sheer power anyone could sense from it...! Mugen was forced onto all fours as he could only shiver and shake from pure fear. He could barely even think straight due to what was being pushed down onto him. Abruptly, Daiyuki's laughter was able to be heard before a howl rang throughout the area. Even the others were affected by this man...all because of this one man. He struggled to find his voice, but finally managed to do so and surprisingly spoke loud, clear, and firmly.

"I don't wish to be called a shinobi...I will be called a shinobi."

It wasn't too complicated nor filled with much words. That was his answer, and he was going to stick by it.

Mitsui looked around and saw many people treating this man with respect so that was the first thing that Mitsui thought he should do. Mitsui thought to treat Echo with respect. Seeing how everyone was saluting the powerful man, Mitsui thought that it would be a good idea to go and salute himself. Mitsui quickly stood as straight as he could and put his right hand over his eyes in the saluting position. Mitsui then thought about his answer to Echo's question for a second. Mitsui then answered, "I will do anything to become a shinobi!". Mitsui then stood attention awaiting Echo's next actions.

[Lazy post, not feeling it today. Sorry, get a better one next time.]

Echo's eyes shimmer with approval, some drop to there knee's others begin letting there instincts take over, one even seems to have managed to have faced something similar and has gotten accustomed to the feeling of Killing Intent. And only one seems to be woefully ignorant, senses so low and perception of such a low skill level he can't even notice the situation he's in. Echo shakes his head, this ones gonna need to do some growing up and take some mental exercises...He'll have to hammer down on that one particularly hard...The Jinchuuriki doesn't even think that one understood the question. Still, no matter for now...A Pup needs a lesson, so when the challenging howl is unleashed Echo closes his eyes and blue flames erupt from his frame, shooting skyward like a pillar attempting to ram the gates of heaven.

A stifling power source filled with strange emotions, his goggles slide down forming into strange glowing shade which only reveals the silhouette of red eyes as his body shines gold behind the shroud of gold power surging upwards, he speaks...Calmly, silently and yet somehow it echoes through the area cutting off any conversation "Smart answers...Answers with conviction, I will help you. I will train you to wield power like what stands before you, I will train you in ways you have never trained before...And by the time I'm done...You'll step out of your little Hell ready to take on the world if you need to..." He says before his gaze shifts towards the Inuzuka and with another burst of killer-intent and a feral low growl, He's the Alpha Wolf in this situation...
Instincts ingrained into him from his time in the Wolf-Canyon begin warring with his logic as the growl echoes through, this man isn't just a predator...He's an Apex Predator of the Shinobi Continent..

The one man everyone fears to do battle with in some form or another, walking destruction, a natural disaster on two legs..
So, his left foot slides backwards, his Mangekyo activates hidden behind his goggles and he unleashes his full killing intent upon the Inuzuka.

Images of fangs digging into his throat, of fists caving in his skull, of legs being broken before a foot shatters his spine, of his throat being slit, of his heart being torn from his chest, of a simple punch striking the artery in his neck with such force it explodes, of his spine being torn out, of being mounted and beaten to death by brutal hammer blows, of being shoved into a lake and drowned while he claws and thrashes in vain, of spears and kunai raining down upon his frame...And of being swallowed whole by a gaping maw filled with razor sharp teeth...

That is what the Jinchuuriki shows the little Wolf, of why he does not wish for this Sage to step from this shroud and have to knock some sense into the boy...
Echo currently is content to stare at the boy, his senses on high alert currently, his frame tense behind the shroud of power...but passive...Waiting for hostile movement.

Kiru almost felt like activating his spectre mark to try and out-do Echo's new form. He figured it probably wouldn't go over very well though, so he simply let him intimidate Daiyuki. Kiru knew that his friends anger was partly his fault, but once he came to understand his bolstered emotions, he should be able to control them to a higher degree. Thinking back on Echo, Kiru guessed he was an Uchiha. The man glowed brightly, making it hard to tell, but his eyes had an unmistakable red glow. Kiru was almost jealous, if not for the rather odd deaths of the two Uchiha native to Yuki. He wondered if Echo would be up for an eye transplant? That was probably a poor question to ask so he kept it to himself, and instead began wondering if he could build a seal powered equivalent...

His deranged howling had stop abruptly and evolved into a bloodcurdling scream.  Echo had succeeded in his initial intimidation and desecration of the wolf boy’s oppositional howls. On the outside in reality Daiyuki would be on the wreathing in immense pain, his grip strengthen on his ninken. This display of power and aura of killing intent would consume Daiyuki like a cloth.  The war was over before it had even begun as the depths of the boys mind was decimated and violated with images of his own death.  The effects of it were severe as his body convulsed… yet his grip upon his faithful Shiroi remained intact.
 
In the depths of the boys mind, somewhere beneath the atrocious images that perversely deluded it. Daiyuki’s feral being and humanity called to him. “Your fate is determined by how far you are prepared to push yourselves to stay alive, you must do whatever it takes to endure and make it through alive.”
Just as the voice faded… the images along with his screaming would seize as well. Daiyuki understood his place; he also understood that he was no match for that pure form power which emanated from the man.  
In the frame of reality Daiyuki struggled to stand but he would endure it was his duty as a shinobi to do so.
 
Ox, Dragon, Rat, Snake, Monkey…. his one handed seals were swiftly and flawlessly executed… A dark purple hued smoke would burst forth to the universes above. It would be in similar fashion to the mans blue flamed aura. Within the smoke his transformation into a top tier predator was complete and instantaneous, Daiyuki had become one with his ninken Shiroi. The two would become an all back, golden-eyed wolf being… whom would 2 and half meters tall and approximately 220 pounds.
 
   
Just as the smoke seemed it would clear out of it would come Daiyuki in form.. He would be using the signature Inuzuka technique-passing fang.  His target would be the man. His objective was to tear through the wall of immense aura and through the man onto the other side.  He desired to prove himself as a strong willed ninja and he would be willing to die to prove his strength.

Giera held his left arm up, covering his eyes, fearing that the next thing to come would be an explosion. He staggered backwards. Not because he wanted to, he just did it, without thinking about it. Then, after having staggered a few meters back, the purple smoke would stop. It was the boys. Echo's looked ever so bright (or dark actually) and consistent, glowing with what Giera could only describe as ferocity. But Giera would have to redefine what he thought 'ferocity' ment, because out of the purple stepped a fearsome creature. Giera didn't have time to comprehend the whole scene, before the wolf-man charged at Echo with a speed and strength Giera had never witnessed before.
The feeling of fear Giera had rolling through his body didn't hold on for long. It never really did, but this time it had been for exceptionally long. The feeling was replaced with condusion. What is going on? Giera tried to piece all the events together like pearls on a string to find out what had happened. He appeared out of thin air, asked if people wanted to be shinobi, they said yes, this guy went insane, merged with his wolf and relentlessly attacked. But why? What is his motive? What am I missing?

[[Hey guys. From the morrow I will be going on a week long vacation. Maybe a little more. Continue the topic without me and ignore me. Consider this my EXIT]]

Hearing the man's declaration to train not only himself but those around him made a visible smile appear on the face of Riku, but the smile itself was short lived as he looked upon the face of the man a little more...something was appearing to be off and it was only a matter of time before Riku knew just what this was. The remaining few that remained had answered the question of the man, all being viable answers except for one who had been saluting in quite a serious situation which caused Rikuzashi himself to question the intelligence of the boy himself. As things would have it, it would have been a fairly standard meeting all except for the one ninja who would challenge the obviously stronger opponent with his howl, which only made Riku consider it as a howl of challenge. Watching animals in the wild would confirm his thoughts as he looked onward to the man known as Echo who would seemingly take the Challenge and show himself as the top dog.

With the situation escalating, Riku took the preemptive strike to move from the area some twenty meters away to a nearby building with the use of the body flicker technique, his eyes focused yet on the area where he once was. With his doujutsu still activated he watched in anticipation to the see the man who would be training him in action...hoping that it was he would eagerly smile to see an alpha show his dominance in this situation, but if damage were to happen to the village...he would probably have to step in at some point. Holding his bow in his right hand he would continue to watch as the events unfolded in front of him," Let's see what events unfold," he stated to himself as he stood atop of the building by himself.
