prelude of his blades (p,nk,t,inv)

Yen chuckled and nodded with approval. For once a shinobi finally understood his teachings that was by the looks non genjutsu. "And this is why I see success in your future kuro. You are finally taking in a bigger picture of how things work. And further you are showing resourcefulness. Very good. Part one is complete. You are drawing the earth to your being. Earth requires one to forsaken fluidness and accept a steadfast way. No rock flows like water,and rock can be curved and shattered. But it will not bend the other way. Now for challenge two you are to do three things. Make the rock bend to your will and turn the rock of what remains of the cane. Into a tiny rock with a millimeter hole in it. You should be able to see a tiny beam of sunlight coming out the other. Side of it if you lift it to the sun. Your second task will be to solidify the dust into a rock with your chakra.You would know you are suscessful when you hit it full force and it will hurt. Your third task will be to fuse Your final creation and then lift it fresh from the ground without any breaks, nor mud. You are not to use water for any of these tasks just your own chakra. Am I understood kuro? Each time you fail you will have to make another formation. Understood?"

Yen asked his voice still serious but now not as stern as he was proud of the boy making steady progress as he was working exceedingly hard at learning it.reminds me a bit of myself. But I fundementalize chakra. yen thought in reflection as he spoke up once more. "Kuro when you see a mountain what do you feel? Do you feel emotional intimidation? Or the act of conquest to over come a mountain? There's a thing I keep in mind with earth. And it's personality wise. To be a rock you must see like a rock. You must adapt like a rock. Rock no matter how it's hit it remains a rock. It remains solid. Even the dirt was of a sorts of rock before it. And with fire it becomes whole. With water it must be moved. All of this defines one thing you must realize here. A rock Is stubborn,unchanging, and unyielding. If a mountain yields is it truely a mountain? No. To be with earth you must be like a pebble,be like a boulder, and be like a mountain at all times."

Yen stated as he grimaced at the loss of pure chakra from the leaking chakra yeah this is the stuff. Relax it to improve their functionality. We need more! yen thought as the new generation of 2male kilshiku, and 2 female kilshiku hatched and were ready at yens command. mate and dance my kilshiku on the feast of my chakra. Let your off spring be bournorful and shall they dance on. yen commanded telepathically as now the insects ate at will at yens chakra and to his astonishment the two females and males went straight to work . As they began to mate with a greater ammount of proficiency then before. Close to 24 eggs each female and that alone was a shocker as they layed them in various placesalong the inside of his cloak to even his hair. very good very good. And they are almost ready to hatch in a few minutes? The beauty of this is amazing. Ah kilshiku you are my blades for certain yen thought as he was going to enjoy a grand family of insects in his arsenal soon enough.

However yens now had to figure the fun was nearly over but now they needed a grand handsign to compliment their beautiful work. Handsigns that despite sincerity they spoke a different name. But which was the grand question that gotyen for a moment. aye there are so many but despite the case in which I make mine each one has a tale. Each handsign has a reason. For falsification and deception of an eye to the reasons this was to work. Bird! For the innocence beyond harmlessness and a misleading sense of security and bountiful production of the affected and further on.rabbit! This is my hidden technique that only few if any can understand and despite the cost the reward is grand let my blades arise and stand. Their sheath my body, their edge my soul. kilshiku kai dance my family

Yen thought with triumph in his heart

2,000/2,000 for hidden jutsu: kilshiku chaotic reproduction preparation jutsu

Kuro nodded as he tried to follow along with Yen's instructions. It seemed he wanted Kuro to turn the staff into a sort of ball with a small hole in it. Like a bead for a necklace! The issue was, he needed to bring down the entire staff into dust and condense it into a ball. He took hold of each of of the cane, grunting as he tried to bring it together. The stone of course, refused to bend at all. It was like Yen said, stone was refusing to bend or move as he wanted. He was much more used to water which would flow around any obstuction, always taking the path of least resistance. It was what he always tended to do too. But he couldn't do that here. He had to be forceful. He had to refuse to budge. If the stone was too studdorn to bend to his will, he would just have to be even more stubborn!

He pushed chakra through the cane and pushed even harder, the cane begining to crumple and break in on itself. With one more large push, he slammed his hands together, collapsing the entire cane in on itself into his double handed fist. He then used his chakra to mold the smaller dust particles together, first creating a solid ball, then forcing a cylinder through it's center, using the excess cylinder dust to make the ball slightly bigger. Kuro couldn't help looking a bit watery as he sweated, starting to look like he was melting from the effort he was exerting. He held up the ball to the sun, turning it so the sunlight could be seen through the hole. "There we go. That... That outta do it... Wow being stubborn like a stone is... definitely not my normal style at all... but I needed to do this."

TWC - 2001
Earth Element Training 2000/2000 (x2 for learning before Chunin, x1/2 for being taught)

Yen smiled impressed and glad the boy actually understood and satisfaction filling him as he watched the boy finish the seemingly to another pointless task at hand. he learns quick and at the same time is able to grasp fully the power of earth fairly well. yen thought quietly as he spoke up. "Earth is dominance and persistence in the physical sense. A element that doesn't need to go far to make a big impact. Physically and in a deeper sense. It's deadly as molded with chakra. But control of your chakra requires the adaptation to a primal force. When you use a earth jutsu you must know it's absolution. There are no redoing, nor switching of a rock, there is no way you can make a pillar bend nor another make a pillar bend. It remains standing. The rocks may make blades but will not bend any further. In proof of this make the cane I just showed you. It's an easy earth element jutsu to use. But you shall understand what it means to make an earth jutsu absolute."

Yen stated as he counted out the eggs mentall that his insects had created. The parents of the 30 now nearly ready to hatch insects on his mind. 30 so that will make in a few moments 17 male, and female kilshiku. This will be quiet a fast ammount of insects quickly multiplying. Yet it is what I need to complete my insect techniques. truthfully I am astounded at the maturation speed in which the kilshiku can be utilized. Truthfully it has a kick to it. But even now I can see that alone these kilshiku will produce at an ever increasing rate. Truthfully the blades of of my double edged evolution can bite both but in my hands they shall only bite in my enemies direction. But now I must rest these down for the safety of the boy before me. yen thought as he weaved the five handsigns for water prision technique despite the leaking chakra the effects were apparent to yen as he knew even for awhile the technique could be dangerous even to him.


Water spewed from yens mouth as he covered his full body in the water at hand and drowned the eggs and insects at hand. With a little bit of lowering his hand the water dispersed as yen shrugged and spoke to the boy before him. "Yeah needed to lose some added weight but don't worry I'm fine. I'll teach you another earth jutsu once you are done with this jutsu at hand" yen stated kindly as he despite the wet clothing now leaned against the tree again. The tiny insects now gone and the eggs destroyed. Assuring the boy and Fox their safety from his insects.

Wc:458

Kuro took a moment to relax a bit, let himself wind down a bit after focusing so hard on acquiring a new element. He felt he had the basics down, so now he should be able to perform the basics. Then with time learn the more advanced, intense earth jutsu. Seeing Yen completely soak himself in water temporarily confused Kuro a bit, but Yen semi-explained what he was doing and Kuro felt that was enough for him. "Yeah, I gotta say, earth is definitely... fun. It's a nice challenge. Break things down and build them up, no just bending and turning, everything is deliberate... and when it's big enough and strong enough, earth will stand forever. The strongest wind, water, flames and lightning can't bring down an entire mountain."

Kuro started to lose focus on everything around him as his mind began to wander into what he would do with this power. Earth and water, as far as he could see, they were the building blocks for the very basis of nature. Yes there was air, but air was everywhere and couldn't really be manipulated into any sort of creation like a river or a mountain. He could see what he would do with these powers now. He could mold an area to his will with enough time and energy. He would find a spot with just the right climate... then create the perfect area for a village. One that would be beautiful and would attract enough people that the village would prosper and grow. It would be... perfect.

Kuro snapped back into reality and laughed a bit. "Heh, sorry, kinda zoned out there for a minute. I'm a little bit of a nature nut and I started thinking about... y'know, mountains and stuff. Right, anyways, back to training! You said to make a cane like you did? Not a problem! Let's see, when you did it, it looked liiiike..."
Kuro scooped up a small rock into his right hand and performed the one handed tiger seal with his left. Pouring his chakra into the rock, he would force it to expand, creating his own rock cane. He would give it a quick spin then hit the base on the ground with a smile. "This right? Nice and simple, but strong and sturdy. I like it."


Wc -386/250 Rock Section Cane

Yen chuckled as the boy went into a day dreaming world as his chakra stopped leaking from him. It was truely over and yen felt the loss of chakra almost liberating. then again he could pretty much do that all day and perhaps not even feel winded. yeah my reserves grow at a steady rate. Even I recall when I was at that threshold where a few simple c ranks felt like a mountain crashing upon me. yen recalled being honest with himself. Yet yen was pleased when he noted the boy had perfectly preformed the rock section cane jutsu. indeed very nice. He is quick to the catch and one to stand ahead of the competition. Very quick and observant. Reluctantly I can only teach him one more technique as alone I'm doubtful his dabbling in the arts of yin and yang has yielded nothing, and he's no genjutsu master in training as far as I can see.still it's good to see him absorbing in knowledge at his rate.I'm impressed yen thought as he nodded with approval at the boy.

"That is correct. And even a daydream has a bout of reality pinged to it. After all as a being who wields chakra you can too learn to bend a mountain someday. Perhaps even the base fundamentals of you know where to look.... But to the basics of making the cane. Very good. If you know of how to make a whip of water you can utilize both as effective weapons. But more importantly you can utilize the earth to a bit stronger then a degree then that. For example."

A rat and bird handsigns later. Yen created 5 spears from the earth standing 3 meters high about 5 meters away from the two of them. The two pillars on either yens and kuros side had flat tops. While the center pillar had a Sharp point. Being at a fairly sharp point it was admirable to even yen. (Earth pillar spears: 40 power, speed, and health, center pillar has 40 sharpness)


"Its quiet a simple technique to utilize and my strongest earth technique for right now. But it's uses are numerous. In its applications.can grow on almost any earth surface as long as there are no obstructing restrictions. But also various UN applications for protective uses. Saved me once even from a tricky point when I enjoyed a spar with the last kage but it's a story for another time. Defiantly utilize it. The pillars can help in a multitude of ways."

Yen stated with a kind smile.

"Ooooh, interesting. Spikes. Well, sort of. Looks like only the middle one is actually pointed. Which means this can be either safe for sparring, or not safe at all for a real fight. I am liking earth more and more."
Kuro grinned at Yen after walking over to the pillars and inspecting them to see the point of the middle one along with the flat top of the nonlethal pillars. He would then walk away from the pillars to get himself some room to work with. Looking over at Vixie, the Hozuki couldn't help smirking as a playful idea began forming in his head. "They can form from just about any earth surface you said? I'll have to keep that in mind. Might come in handy, especially in an enclosed earthen area like a cave or something."

Kuro would toss his cane aside as it crumbled into dust, taking a deep breath and focusing his chakra once more, this time building up a large amount as he copied the handseals Yen had used when he demonstrated the pillars. Kuro then knelt down and placed a hand to the ground, releasing much more chakra than he had previously. It was actually easier to use more it seemed! He hadn't really noticed because of his huge amounts of chakra use for advanced techniques and summonings, but his chakra pool had definitely grown far stronger than ever before! The reason he was getting tired earlier was because he'd been holding back as he tried to focus his chakra into small controlled things. With a more advanced jutsu, he could just let his chakra flow like he normally would. Kira's training had definitely had a strong effect on him.

His chakra rushed through the ground towards Vixie, concentrating just a meter from the fox before a large earthen spike shot up out of the ground. Vixie's head shot up in surprise at the sudden appearance of the spike. She then turned her head to look at Kuro, giving him a glare as he grinned and launched another surge of chakra through the ground, this time forcing it directly under the fox. His chakra pushed the earth to grow a large non-pointed pillar rising up directly underneath Vixie. The quick fox felt the shift of earth under her paws and sprang into action, dashing towards Kuro just in time to avoid the pillar that would've knocked her over. As she dashed at him, Kuro began making more pillars in front of her, the elusive green fox weaving through them with ease as they formed in her path, never even so much as slowing down as she raced towards Kuro. Kuro then raised one directly in front of himself. 

The fox ran as fast as she could, leaping at him and jumping over the pillar before it could finish forming, biting onto the same wrist he was using to create the pillars, growling and yanking up to force him to stop. Kuro laughed and winced as her sharp teeth began to draw blood. "Aahahahaha-ow, ow, ok, you win, good job!"
Vixie released his wrist and Kuro continued to chuckle as he held onto his bleeding wrist, the deep red liquid slowly beginning to drip onto the ground. Vixie swished her tail at him and licked her bloody lips clean while he turned to Yen. "Heheh, never disturb a sleeping fox. Thanks for showing me how to use the earth to my advantage Yen. Is there anything I can do to help you? You deserve some kind of reward. And if you even try to insist on nothing, I'll just have to play another song."

Kuro's hands then began glowing with green flame like chakra as he activated his medical jutsu. Holding onto his bleeding wrist, Kuro's chakra would speed up his body's natural healing capabilities, his cells rapidly replication and replacing all the damaged cells and severed connections that Vixie's teeth had made until the several small holes had completely sealed themselves back up, his blood resuming it's regular flow through his reconstructed veins and capillaries. Once finished, Kuro would give his wrist a few turns just to get out any soreness left behind from the pain. He would then hold his wrist out to Vixie. The fox would turn back towards him and lick away the red stains left behind on his skin until his wrist looked like it'd never been bleeding in the first place. "You said you spared with a former Kage right? If you've got some moves you're working on, I'd be happy to help you train them up with a spar if you want. I'm pretty good at avoiding major injury. And if you do rough me up with your practice, I can just patch myself up like I do with Vixie. I only let her bite me because she would pout if i didn't give her the satisfaction of having my hand between her teeth."
Vixie would walk up to his side and give him a small nip on his hip, making him jump slightly and laugh again. "I mean, Vixie got me because she's a super agile apex predator who always catches her target. Yeah."
The fox would sit down with her tail wagging slightly as he appeased her sense of pride. Kuro would give her a quick pat on the head before placing his hand on the ground again, forcing the pillars he'd created back down into the ground with a grunt of effort as they sunk down one by one in the order they were created. "And if you don't wanna spar with me... I do have some... interesting friends that you might enjoy meeting. I'd even wager that you've never met anyone like them before." 

WC-959

Yen studied the boy carefully as he preformed the jutsu almost flawlessly. It was indeed a sight as he watched him in rapid suscession continue his use of the jutsu in attempt to catch his pet fox which amusingly and expectedly failed. With a few "ows" even yen had to admit it was amusing to see the boy fail with such a slippery animal as the fox. "Very good kuro" yen stated impressed. As he noted the boy's use of medical jutsu. A good beginning tactic for medical use. But then again should he have the capability to do so he could use a higher level medical technique. spar hm? I don't normally fight well havnt had a full fight for awhile. And yet it's a little tempting. Yet hardly know the boy. But summons come in the question and even then his reserves may come to question... Maybe just won't use the bugs for safety of himself and in long run me as well. Yet his chakra is quiet strong. Which only drives one to question how strong he is in the end.... Eh I'll properly burn out of chakra much faster and heck maybe even cause too much damage. Welp not to underestimate his power. But for a value of his safety I could simply make a condition. yen thought for a moment and then shrugged as if quietly making up his mind.


"I can play for a bit but rather not destroy much of the forest. So to simplify on things we can spar. However not gonna cause you much harm, and two ask if things get too rough. Rather keep you and your Fox safe. A lethal attempt might pose more risk then reward so for a first spar and eventful one I suggest that we control our lethal levels to non lethal. and also shall a lethal shot come up. We call a point. A point comes up when all defenses are exhusted and an unexpected attack. Is landed physically but not to a permanent damaging point. Exercise control and precision is the goal. If exhausted for prolonged battle preparation we rest by defensive tactics. And avoidance. This will pose use for even the most trivial challenges that pose in the future. However don't over do it kuro. Tis just a spar. And for most cases some over do a spar and end up hurt or worst. But don't worry about that I seek no harm. Just respect of the rules and boundaries of a konoha ninja. Are the conditions clear?"

Upon his final statement yens left eye would open activating his sharingan and being well placed and trained on the boy and Fox respectfully. By now yen would remain still leaned against the tree and gladly studying the two at hand but thanks to the good ol wonder patch it enabled yen to happily and peacefully watch the two without revealing the sharingan as a nice peekaboo except one sided sight show. Yet yen now had an idea of any rather irritating movements or shifty (scandalous) activities the boy would do with his physical movements, and chakra. As well as his furry friend.


let's see we can have some fun with this boy here but no harm shall befall him physically that's for sure. yen thought as his normal eye studied the boy carefully although he remained leaned against the tree and his cloak nice and thick. Yen merely waited allowing him to study the boy and his first of many movement's. Getting a feel of what he can or cannot do.

"We may begin when you are ready kuro" yen simply said as he studied the boy. Remaining in the same position yen took assessment of his remaining chakra and decided upon utilization of the sharingan. He would limit his total technique use. To a more balanced ideal use. one offensive and one defensive technique outta do it he thought although unsure of his use of a jutsu in time was questionable. It would still do good for him upon the boy's first action to utilize something of good means and use. if he doesn't comply well I'll just use that technique till he understands the boundaries that we are in naturally. Either way it should be educational. Besides as genjutsu user and supreme so far I can if all fails lock him in. A stronger technique. But for now let's have fun it's a spar!

Kuro grinned and pumped a fist in victory as Yen accepted the offer to spar. He listened to the other shinobi explain the rules and insist on not trying to actually hurt each other with dangerous or lethal attacks, as well as attempting to avoid destroying the forest around him. He nodded in response when Yen finished laying down the rules. "All right, sounds good to me. And don't worry, I used to just spar with new genin and even academy students the last time I was in Konoha. I'm pretty good at keeping everything non-lethal. I'm also pretty good at defense." 

Kuro would raise his right hand into the air as he created his Justice Shield from the water stored in his body, swinging his weapon down in front of him to cover his chest and show off the shield's design. "I get first move huh? All right, but don't hold back too much when you counter!"
Kuro would then use a few seals behind the cover of his shield, his chest puffing up slightly as a huge amount of chakra and water built up inside of him before releasing it out of his mouth. A torrent of water sped towards Yen, the tip taking the form of a snake's head and opening it's mouth as it attempted to swallow up the sharingan user and push him backwards. Once the jutsu had hit or missed, Kuro would influence it to slow it down,  letting it gently crash into a tree and forming a small flowing source of water. After using the jutsu however, Kuro would wait a moment to see what Yen would do in response.

Vixie would dash away into the woods as soon as Kuro created his shield, finding somewhere she could hide and blend in with the surrounding forest. Once he'd fired his Snake Mouth technique however, she would begin to slowly stalk her way around the sparring ninjas with Sneaky Feet, letting Kuro act as a distraction as she moved to find a good ambushing spot.

pure water comming from him. And a impressive sheild, isn't this mostly a clan based on pure water? Impressive. Very interesting. yen thought as he kept his sharingan trained on the boy for his movements and utilizing it's power while it was safely behind the wonder patch. Keeping note of kuros chakra and noticing the fox rushing away a quick tell of his enhanced hearing noted that the fox's foot steps had just about gone silent at one point. Yet the aburame kept his focus on the boy in front of him as well as his ears perked for their Fox friend perhaps return at one point. Yet yen noted the boy protruding his sheild from within him. However Yen did say it was first move for the boy. But alas that was first move however for the boy yens own first move was to be done close to while the boy was going to weave his own hand signs. Although yen could copy it he felt not the need to do so. As kuro finished his handsigns For the water snake mouth jutsu. However. Just before kuro weaved his last handsign (before kuro began forming the Dragon handsign) yen would cast his genjutsu. Now to simplify it would be fair to say although once upon a time yen himself had to utilize yes 5 whole handsigns for his kind endeavoring of painstakingly slow movement. However with enough work he could do it with no handsigns due to his extreme mastery of the genjutsu at hand. Simplybby kuro looking at him was enough for yen at a point of time to cast it. However yen specifically saves his genjutsu for moments that give a target a moment of assurance. Like he has very little up his sleeve and even the most cautious induvidual would take a nice successful jutsu being used as either a job well done, they are too quick, or the few that realized they are being lead on in a beautiful dance.

Well for kuro he was going to be caught up in some snazzy dance lessons soon. As yen casted a more amusing genjutsu to give the boy some "encouragement" as by the time he finished his Dragon handsign unless he was looking away kuro would see an interesting sight. A grey dome of sorts spreading out from yens position at a quiet entertaining speed. As this would mean he was caught in the genjutsu. Now the grey dome does nothing harmful in fact it passes through the boy. Absolutely no harm as it's an illusion in itself. Crafted by yen to fool the unwise of several fantasies of it being either an amazing and chaotic medical technique, or even a terrifying ninjutsu. But in reality what follows for the boy would all be hell of a powerful genjutsu. As well as unique.

The effects as powerful as they were just meant the start of an bad day for the unfortunate caught within its grasps would suffer from the first of five mystifying effects due to the powerful hallucination caused to a targets brain by the g¿©enjutsu. It would scramble their movement in the respective way as noted.. When a person would Disire to take a step forward. They would instead take a step back, and the opposite would occur if the wanted to take a step backwards if they disired to step to the left, they would instead step to the right. The opposite would occur if they took a step to their right, should the person wish to step at an diagnial. They would instead move at the opposite diagonal. Ultimately this would also effect a person jumping in a direction, and running as well. (Mad world: power: 90)

Unfortunately to the boy the fun was just beginning as as soon as his genjutsu was completed yen noted that his natural knack of kicking up the power of his genjutsu would naturally invoke one of a few more of his deeper abilities as a aspiring genjutsu user. For his say in power alone was not for show. Placing an bit of his strongest genjutsu which caused a massive increase in his chakra usage overall. The amusingly powerful genjutsu had a tiny cost to it. As should the boy attempt to break out of the genjutsu of his own will he would lose Actions equal to half the power of the genjutsu used. (Echoes of pandemonium)

However in the reality of all of yens complex techniques kuro jutsu would complete.with no complications. The question remained however not if the water snake jutsu was suscessful. But if it would hit. Yen had a quiet response as now the slightest movement would finally come from yen after the seemingly useful genjutsu was casted. In the fluid motion nessary to utilize the and counter act the water jutsu yen would utilize one of his other sealess jutsu being his spider web flower jutsu. By the time the water snake had gone a total of 2 meters yen would've spat out 3 double netted spider web's at about half a meter in diameter the first double netted web would be shot directly at the water snake closing in on yens position as a Precautionary means to assure that it can in fact negate the water snake incoming. In fact for safety yen shot a second web just incase as assurance. If able of course and should the web's simply burst through the water snake they would be a sticky mess of dark blue pulsating webs going straight for the boy's head, yens third web however would be shot to the boy's right aimed at kuros right arm. As noted as much the boy should he be hit will be knocked backwards at a power equal to the jutsu power and by unfortunate case and such that would be fall the boy. He would be plastered to perhaps a tree or even the ground if knocked down. Twas the fate of an individual who's strength is less then the power of the jutsu (spider web flower: power:59, speed :50, web health:50, 59 or higher strength to not suffer -10 to their speed, and to break free of web's)


As to the misery to an unfortunate person caught by the dark blue pulsating webs would soon discover that the pulsating blue color wasn't all neon lights but in fact a curious ability his kilkikaichu enabled yen to utilize as their host. Alas the truth behind such a interesting webbing spoke well. As one who's bare skin would be covered by a fair ammount would find that they would begin losing chakra in a steady rate. (5ap lost per post if bare skin in contact with webbing and stuck to the ground, wall, or even a tree) yen however would despite all of this would hardly move as he remained leaning against a tree and spoke.

"Very interesting shield you posess and defiantly a lovely ability to retract it even if I'm right back into your body? You must have extra components or even a seperate space you can toss it into. Very interesting kuro."

Kuro blinked in confusion as he saw some kind of gray dome go over head and surround him. Kuro would shrug this off however and assumed it was just something Yen was doing to keep their fighting in a controlled area. He did say he wanted to protect the forest after all. He instead kept his focus on Yen. Seeing some kind of webs smash through his Snake Mouth, Kuro would take hold of his shield and throw it at the webs headed for his head. At least, that's what he was TRYING to do. In reality, he would throw his shield in the opposite direction, the shield cutting through a tree before sticking into a second one behind it. Immediately after throwing, Kuro would try to step aside to avoid the one headed for his arm, stepping directly into the web and letting it hit his chest, the force knocking him to the ground. "Nph! What the... how did...?"

Vixie watched Kuro flounder about with his genjutsu afflicted mind. She could sense his confusion and ran to him as fast as she could using Speedy Feet, moving to his side at 70 speed and biting onto his right hand. "Ah, Vixie! Why did you do that!? Now isn't the time for this!"
Kuro would attempt to pull his hand out of her mouth, but found that his hand refused to move, his other hand moving. As he tried moving his left hand, he would find himself tugging his right hand out of her jaws. Kuro's hand dripped with blood once more as he realized what was going on. He didn't have much first hand experience with it, Kuro realized that it must be some kind of Genjutsu causing these strange effects. Focusing on using his left hand to pat near him, his right hand would pat Vixie's head. "Thanks girl. I see what's going on now. I can push through this now."
Kuro would try to pull himself free of the web, but found it too strong to break. Instead, Kuro would focus on keeping his body solid, the effects of mad world causing him to melt into a liquid puddle, able to slip away from the web and reform a short distance to the right, Vixie backing away from Yen and hiding behind a tree. "I think I get it now. You didn't even move, but you definitely did something. Everything's flip flopped, but Vixie's a clever fox. She showed me how this gray dome area works, so I'm not gonna let it slow me down!"

Kuro then gave a tiger seal and poured his chakra into the water left behind by Snake Mouth, a thick white mist rapidly flooding the forest, the chakra infused water particles dense enough that no one could see more than a few feet in front of them, nothing but bright a wall of bright chakra able to be seen by Yen's Sharingan. Kuro would then use Water Needle, swinging his arm to create 10 Water needles in a horizontal arc, making sure that the tips were blunt and unable to actually harm anyone. The needles would shoot forward through the mist at Yen, unable to be seen until they were less than 3 meters away from him.
