.:: Uzushiogakure ::. .:: Hidden Whirlpool Village ::.
Little was known of Mirage Island until recently. There have been reported sightings throughout the years of an island that would float mid-ocean. When boats would attempt to get near for a boarding, the island would seem to be floating farther and farther away. Long time theories were that light was flecting off a nearby landmass that was causing a Mirage of sorts. However, due to recent attempts by Shinobi the island has been proved real. A Genjutsu surrounds the floating island that makes the user think they are never going to reach their destination. The hours of time they thought were being spent in persuit of their goal were actually only seconds in which their boat would be sitting still.
The Island has a requirement to access its fruitful lands. You must have a good understanding of Genjutsu before able to dismiss the islands first defense. If you do not, then the island will keep you at bay no matter what your attempt may be. Once you gain access, there is still an issue with how to get up to a floating island in the sky. The bottom most tip of the island is two hundred feet from the surface of the water below. It is a soft type of rock, so an attempt to grapple the dirt will only send you plummeting to the ground. If you manage to find a way to the surface of the island; you'll notice that there are tall lightning rods that extend in a symmetrical pattern over the entire island. These are a secondary defense should the island be attacked. The lighting rods serve two purposes. Each has the ability of shooting lightning bolts at intruders and also if they are activated at once will create a large barrier that surrounds the island. If you attempt to force your way through this barrier, you'll be met with a swift death as it sucks the chakra from your body. The barrier was put in place shortly after Uchiha Damian became Kage. It is believed that it is a larger version of his own successful made-up Eternal Void.
Defenses aside, the village itself is very peaceful. At night the thick humidity of the island brings an abundance of mist to blanket its surroundings. By day, the sun beats down just as it would with any tropical island. There is an abundance of vegetation and forest on the top of the island. Birds take refuge on this island due to its safety from hunters, however not many other animals exist aside from those that are brought from the outside. The Population of Mirage Island is roughly half the size of Konoha. The village is located at the very center of the island, surrounded on three sides by low rise mountains. The fourth side of the village that isn't covered by mountains has a fifty foot tall black wall with multiple watchtowers. Directly in the middle of this wall is the passageway to the village.
The village itself is fairly normal once you are past the main gate. Upon entering you are in the main marketing district. If you continue forward to the back of the village you'll find the Kage's castle. If instead you head to the left, you'll find the living quarters of most of the residents. If you head towards the right upon entering the village you'll find the training grounds along with various dojos located down an alleyway. There are other dojos with various styles located throughout the village, but the majority of all training with techniques and styles will be found in this area.
.:: History of the Island ::.
Originally the inhabitants of the mysterious island in the sky were from Uzushiogakure, The Village Hidden by Whirling Tides. These ninja were renowned for their fūinjutsu to the point that it led to its destruction in war. Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the globe. Later these ninja would reunite, using their combined seals and techniques to create a seemingly indestructible Island in the sky through the use of various anti-gravity seals.
Prior to its destruction; Uzushiogakure had close ties with Konohagakure, due to Uzushio's Uzumaki clan and Konoha's Senju clan being distant relatives. Because of this, all the flak jackets worn by the chūnin and jōnin-level shinobi of Konohagakure bear the crest of Uzushiogakure, symbolising the strong friendship between both villages. This symbol is also emblazoned on the some of the shoulders of the outfits that the Konoha shinobi wear underneath the flak jackets.
There was little to no assistance by Konohagakure during the destruction of Uzushiogakure. This is what caused the members of the village to rid themselves of their prior symbol in a clear backlash on their prior allies.
Anyone who leans all of the Reverse Gates, may learn any of the Branch Clan techniques.

These Techniques are True Clan Only.
[ G ] Shadow Wasteland - 800 Chakra ( Resolve +5 ) A Genjutsu technique, that gives the appearance of what could only be a raging mass of shadow attacking the opponent. This mass of shadow can be as large as the user wishes, and if it attacks the opponent, it actually seems to forcefully rip the shadow from the enemy, causing severe emotional and mental strain onto the opponent.
[ G ] Elemental Causality - 500 Chakra ( Resolve +5 ) A Genjutsu technique that causes the four main elements of fire, wind, water and earth to strike out at the opponent in one wave style attack. Earth will appear to shoot from the ground, in order to strike the opponent, as fire forms in the air above them like a wall. Gusts of wind tearing at the fire in order to cast it at the opponent like balls of flame, as water shoots from the ground as pressurized jets. This technique makes the opponent believe that they were kill by the sudden attack of the elements, before being snapped out of it to the shock that they are still alive.
[ G ] Flame Requiem - 1000 Chakra ( Resolve +10 ) A Genjutsu technique that causes the opponent to believe that the entire battlefield has been covered in flames. Everything aside from the caster of this genjutsu appears to be covered in flame. The interesting thing about this technique, is it works with scent and sound as well as feeling and sight. It actually imbeds itself so far into an opponent's mind. That they feel it as intensely as if it were actually happening to their body. This Genjutsu is so powerful, that if they break free of it, they may find burns on their body, and smell both burning flesh and clothing.
[ G ] Flooding Waves - 1900 Chakra ( Resolve +15 ) A Genjutsu technique that gives the appearance of the entire field flooding with water, and large waves would begin to crash over the opponent over and over again until they are cast beneath the waves and then begin feeling the sensation of drowning. This illusion as seemed to be so real, that if an opponent is to escape it alive, they cough up water upon awakening.
[ G ] Copy-Cat Master - 2200 Chakra ( Resolve +20 ) A Genjutsu technique that allows the clan member to make an exact copy of their opponent in the form of a genjutsu. This technique allows for all made ups, clan and normal techniques. As well as weapons and special items to be copied exactly. The only flaw is that the copy is given a new personality that closely matches that of the user of this technique, and so there is a slight difference.
[ G ] Major Self Mimic - 1500 Chakra ( Resolve +15 ) A Genjutsu technique that actually allows for the user of the technique to be able to copy all the weapons and armors. Of course this only lasts for the battle, and it is only a genjutsu meant to match foe and user with the same arsenal of weaponry. An interesting addition to the weapons and armors, is that their abilities actually seem to be greater then the true special items.
[ G ] Nuclear Explosion - 3000 Chakra ( Resolve +30 ) The most powerful Genjutsu technique that this clan can use, it causes the opponent to believe that a Nuclear Explosion has been set off from the user's body, this genjutsu is known to actually work on an entire village of people at once. In the first turn, the opponent will feel the heat of the explosion, and see it coming, the second turn they will feel the blast, and then feel their skin being burnt from their bodies. The final post, will reveal them some how being able to look down at their now skeletal body, before it falls to ash upon the ground. If successful, this technique could cast an opponent into a coma, unless they have an extremely strong will.
[ G ] Full Manipulation - 2000 Chakra ( Resolve +20 ) A Powerful Genjutsu, that makes the opponent believe they are nothing more then a puppet being controlled by the user and under their full control. Of course this is nothing more then a genjutsu, and so the opponent isn't actually being controlled, but through the genjutsu, they are given the feeling of having no choice in the matter. [Nothing can be forced to be given away, or taken. And the opponent cant be forced to kill themselves.]
Blood Genjutsu - 3000 Chakra ( Resolve +30 | Add 1500 to the cost of Genjutsu ) A technique, that allows the power of this clan's genjutsu to be so great, that anyone of a weaker chakra level then them, can not even use conventional doujutsu to break free or see through the illusions. Of course, this does not effect anyone stronger than they are.
Blood Ancestral - 2000 Chakra ( Pay 2000 Chakra to immediately negate known Genjutsu ) Even though this clan does not have a true bloodline, they do have an interesting ability that allows for them to actually completely negate Genjutsu that could be used upon them, as long as they have the genjutsu in question, to be used on their own.
Gate Mastery - 2500 Chakra [ Requires 8th Gate; Death ] Only after acquiring all the gates, the Ichtaca clan member may hold any and all gates for a maximum of 1 more turn, for every two made up slots that they have in their possession.

This technique allows for all made ups, clan and normal techniques to be copied exactly, special weapons and armors of any kind are not able to be copied. The flaws to this technique are that the opponent's copy is made in reverse coloring, and has a completely different personality, as well as the lack of special weapons and special armors.
[ G ] Minor Self Mimic - 750 Chakra ( Resolve +5 ) A Genjutsu technique that actually allows for the user of the technique to be able to copy all the weapons and armors. Of course this only lasts for the battle, and it is only a genjutsu meant to match foe and user with the same arsenal of weaponry. The flaw with this technique, is that the special weapons and armors are actually weaker then the real ones, meaning that they can be over powered by the real thing.
[ G ] One-Thousand Claws - 1600 Chakra ( Resolve +15 ) A Genjutsu technique that causes one-thousand clawed hands to shoot from the ground, and attempt to either grab onto, or completely engulf one or multiple enemies at one time.

[ G ] Genjutsu Army - 1700 Chakra ( Resolve +15 ) A Genjutsu technique that allows for the caster to summon an army of any kind of soldier they feel fit. Although it must be of one kind, and they can not use guns of any kind. This army is usually about 500 characters in size, and are a rank below the user of this technique, in strength.

[ G ] Swords Dance - 1800 Chakra ( Resolve +15 ) A Genjutsu technique that allows the user to summon a large amount of Genjutsu made swords, that all encircle and then strike out at the opponent or opponent.

At first this technique appears to not do anything, but after two turns, the heat will begin to make the opponent feel as if they are starting to begin melting, a turn later, their flesh will appear to start falling off. If the genjutsu continues past this point, the shock of such a happening could turn them into a coiled up ball on the ground, crying in pain and agony, and at most severe, kill them.

Virtually anything that the user can think up, as far as the environment, can happen. Although nothing ordinary can take place in this realm of the user's creation. Not even gravity, seems to play the correct effects. (Needs Orderly World Genjutsu)
::Note:: Both 'World' Genjutsu must be explained the makings of, in the surroundings itself, the same turn that it is activated. The Unorthodox World Genjutsu must be explained completely, as far as [Gravity, any change in colors or surroundings, etc.] Any animals, can be explained, when they are brought into the battle.

◤ Water, no matter where he was looking, the young male was seeing nothing but water all around him. He knew he wasn't in Hidden Mist, as it wasn't Hidden Rain either. Just where did the young uchiha end up going this time? Stretching his arms behind his back, the male wasn't sure just what kinda village he was in, other then it was water based, something he wasn't very good with. With Stein being a Uchiha, he was naturally born with the element of fire, so water was basically his weakness. Shaking his head softly, he was wondering why he wanted to be around water, softly rubbing his chin, realizing why he was here now. Hidden underneath the bandages, burn scars rested an covered, hidden from sight. Growing up, he was forced to practice nothing but fire based techniques, even to the point that his face was burned an damaged. His father didn't care about the lasting effects, he only wanted to train his kid to the point of death everyday for no reason. Stein sighed, letting out a deep breath, his hands rested upon the back of his neck. Something about the sounds of water rippling, the little waves going back and fourth brought peace to him, his mind not constantly pacing so much. Taking a look around the village once more, Stein was not sure how it was so peaceful here, only to remember something back from the books he used to read. Something about the village not being what it seemed to be either, tricks played on the mind. Yawning softly, he let out a deep breath, wondering what it meant, till blinking a few times, a palm touching his forehead as he chuckled. It was genjutsu, this was a village based around doing nothing but Genjutsu, the reason it would seem like mind tricks had been played upon others. It wasn't odd nor was it strange.
Finding what seemed to be a little waterfall, the male would end up taking a seat near some fallen trees, using them as a support, something to rest his back upon. Taking a seat, using the tress as a seat, he soon found the right spot to get comfortable in, letting his head rest against the bark of the tree. Stein wasn't going to sleep, but rest an listen to the sounds of the water flowing, letting the stillness ease his mind, to clear his thoughts for a moment an give him peace. "Relaxing, something that I wouldn't get if I was home, if I was to deal with him, to suffer his wrath for not being what he wanted. Water, clam, still, relaxing of the mind an thoughts, this is what I need more then anything currently." Indeed it was something to be needed, allowing the time to rest an keep from breaking his body anymore then it was already was. The peace of mind he would get from resting, would allow him to keep from breaking further.

It had been a long time since he had made the trip to this part of the shinobi world and now that he was here, he was excited to see what else he could manage to deal with for the time being. As he stepped from the small rowboat, his cane tapping against the wooden docks that he now slowly strolled across, Lucius grinned and tipped his hat to the closest fisherman before exiting from the docks and onto the dry land of the Village Hidden in Whirlpools. Although the atmosphere was entirely different from the village of Hidden Magic to which Lucius called home, it still had a touch of everything that he wanted it to. Mystery, Magic, and above all, Fun. The entire place bustling despite the practically well hidden area that it was located in, and even the obvious Priests and other such members of Organization and Church alike were strolling around as if they did not have a care in the world.
Lucius continued his walk across the main outskirts of the village itself, the soft tap of his cane striking the stone walkways beneath his feet marking his only obvious trace to his travels, up until he came across a cliff face with what appeared to be a small waterfall cascading down it. With a small outcropping of trees around the basin that the waterfall fell into, he immediately noticed a figure that was perched upon a fallen tree as an obvious respite for rest or relaxation. Something similar to what he had planned for when he was making his way over to this slightly elusive location. " 'Ey! Ya R'laxin' ove' 'ere too, eh? Mak's sense, 'tis a dec'nt spo' fo' it, afte' all." Lucius calls out, his heavily accented voice doing no more than to completely confuse those that may be attempting to pin down his origins or home. He happened to chat an awful lot, despite his clearly broken means of communication. Even so Lucius strolled over to the shinobi resting upon the fallen tree with the continued click, click, click of his cane striking against the ground with every other step. His black starry eyes unseen behind the round tinted glasses that he wore upon his face, as he grinned almost happily at the prospect of sitting down and having a decent chat before he had to get up and train or whatever it was shinobi were normally doing when they traveled about the world in this era.
◤ Echo's, the sounds of something seemed to be clicking on the floor, something constantly going an ringing inside of his head. Stein didn't know what was ringing, but the sound was waking him up from his little nap that he wasn't getting to enjoy. For the time being, he wasn't mad about it, he had no reason to either. He was able to get some sleep, even if it was for a little while in time, for him it was better then nothing, more so then he would have gotten if he was home. Yawning softly, his arms stretched behind his neck, the soft pops of his joints being heard as he tilted his head towards the location of the voice, his eyes going lifeless as he had a surprise look on his face. What did he just hear, couldn't have been words was it, something must've been off if he was unable to get a full understanding of what was just asked of him. Taking a deep breath, the young uchiha looked softly at the male, the shady male with the cane. Letting out a sigh, he shook his head lightly to the side, placing a hand under his chin softly, blinking a little. "Guess you an say that, it's just calm over here an very soothing for the soul. At least for now it was a nice little spot to get a decent nap in." The male couldn't help but to take a deep breath once more, he took a second to stand himself up, brushing the dust off himself. It was strange, why would someone want to come all the way out here, there was nothing but only water in this village. Or was there something special about this village, that he just didn't know about for now. Stein was not sure, but if this male was here, then he might know of some secrets in this village. Yawning some more, the teen looked back towards the water, still yawning a little as he chuckled lightly. For now, he wasn't sure what he was going to do here, but it was better then being home, dealing with his father. "Names Stein, what brings you out here to the Whirlpool, or would this be your village? Figured since you was here, you might have been from this village, or at least been here before an know where your going."

"Ya cer'n'ly b' ri'ht 'bout tha' 'ne. Ah mi'ty fin' res'in' spo' fo' sur'!" He says, a grin forming across his lips to which was riddled with the chaos of unhealthy eating and low maintenance throughout. Lucius casually strolled around the leisurely around the place that this male who was revealing his name as Stein, was seated. "Lucius Graeme. 'Xplor'r. 'Ntertain'r. Mag'cian. Hailin' fro' H'dden Mag'c. Jus' got som' fam'ly 'round thes' par's." He says with a slow roll of his shoulders while stopping his slow stroll around the male in order to lean against the cane in his hand and continuing to look at him as he had answered the male's questions and now he was pondering over the possibility of asking his own if one would present itself. His dry lips smacking together a couple of times as if he was in deep thought before he stood straight from the cane and looked upwards at the sky, black gloved hand holding the wide brimmed hat upon his head as he did so. "The' got go'd Gen'jutsu 'ere. So I ha'e jus' be'n travlin' 'round ta lea'n wha' I can, ya kno'?" He said with yet another grin as he turned his attention back down to look upon Stein once again.
◤ For some odd reason, the way he was speaking was slightly getting on his nerves, it was putting more strain an stress on him trying to listen an decipher everything that was being said, which at the current moment was more then enough to handle. Taking a deep breath, Stein closed his eyes, after leaning up on a tree. Crossing his arms over his chest, he sighed, yawning slightly, slowly opening his eyes as he was looking outwards towards the water, wanting to figure out how to get himself stronger, without having to get deal with the bullshit from his family. "For the most part, it is relaxing out here, an makes for a good rest spot, not so much noise from others, nor it being overpopulated by people either. This village is more hidden then it should be, which makes for it a nice spot to run off to for relaxing. Makes it a little easier for others to get the weight an pressure of their shoulders to." Stein sighed, he was going to figure it out, to get stronger, to end his father, to end the pain an suffering he had to deal with for all those years since his childhood, since the start of everything. "Hidden Magic, well guess that would be a village to check out later when I get some time to myself when I'm not here that is. Well at least for now Lucius, I could understand the first part of your name without having issues, as for the last part, took me a minute to understand that all." Indeed it took some time to get the words figured out an the sounds to match up with everything, which shouldn't have been this hard to figure. Taking a minute to shift himself from the tree, Stein started to crack his back, trying to get some of the built up pressure out, letting him move his body in a better way. Not sure what kind of family would be out here, then hearing what the village was teaching, the male soon found his hand covering his face, slowly pulling down as a deep grunt could be heard, his eyes looking like they would burst from the utter words spoken. "Family is a good thing to have, depending on who an what they offer an such. As for the genjutsu, that's something I rather keep away from for now. Something about it, would confuse me, an lacking a certain clan ability myself, it would prove to be wasted an unhelpful to myself in the future. Maybe I'll figure out later when I go back home, or I'll try something else out in the mean time as well." Stein didn't even wanna go home, something about returning would just make him snap an end the pain an suffering he had to deal with his life. Moving his hands into his pockets, he started to chuckle to himself, thinking about if he should just go home an end his father, or to wait an get stronger on his own before returning an ending it all there. For now he soon caught himself grinning, which was hard to tell from the fact his face was covered in the wraps. Scratching the tip of his nose, he was slightly forgetful of the wraps in the first place, not knowing that he was till wearing them after all this time. Wanting to take them off, he felt the need to rid them, was nothing more then something that would make it more difficult later when he would need them.

Achana arrived in the Hidden Whirlpool Village after a long ride on a trade caravan to the foreign territory. The trip took longer than it would have in the past as the extra security and precautions taken during their travel due to the attacks a few Villages had sustained had everyone on high alert. Achana, herself, had only gained passage on the caravan because she had signed up for a mission that involved making sure the convoy of cargo traversed from the Land of Fire to the Great Naruto Bridge and across the sea-filled landgap to the Land of Water safely before it continued onward to its destination.
It was lengthy trips like these that often provided many a shinobi the chance to train themselves and hone their observational skills. Achana would take time to practice with her Sharingan, having fully matured it to the third tomoe stage in the days during the attack on the Hidden Leaf Village. The raven-haired Uchiha found the development to be most welcome. Her perception was now on the level where she could virtually watch a bird in flight as if it were in slow motion, thus giving her ample time and opportunity to throw a shuriken to intercept it. Though, she did not slay any wildlife in this manner. No, they had no interest in betraying her or trying to stab her in the back. They did not deserve to die by her hands. No, her ability to trust anyone of the human variety had been shattered. Now she intended to preparre her mind and her body to deal with those who would come for her.
The minor irritant of playing guard duty to the caravan was the rolling mist and fog of Water Country. It forced her to keep watch with her Sharingan just to make sure there were no assassins hiding in the cloudy spritz, either down low or high above in the trees. It was a good thing she was naturally paranoid and left very little to chance, as it made Achana one of the best at keeping watch over the convoty on its trek.
As they neared the Hidden Whirlpool Village, Achana thought to herself of the training she would undergo here. She had a contact given to her that was to educate her and mold her genjutsu talent into something that could be weaponized and used to crush anyone with a weaker will and less resolve than she possessed. It was a trait of hers that few could match, and even fewer could withstand without having their sanity shattered due to her maddening gaze from her Sharingan eyes. It was a part of her power as an Uchiha that many feared and some even covetted apparently. But it was with those eyes and her drive to conquer and command a nation that she intended to bring the world to her feet and the heads of every minor Village to bow down to her might. It was her mission and her goal.
The Uchiha clan had long suffered in the darkness of the days of its near extinction, and now, like a phoenix, it was time for its rebirth from those very ashes of death. The Senju were no more, and without their ancient enemy to restrict and restrain her birthright, it was now time to assume the rule that the Uchiha clan were rightfully due. Of course, a lot of that had stood in the way of the control of the Leaf Village were the actions for a few stupid, and some selfish men. But now? The future was female. There would be no Madara to try and screw everyone just to gain immortality, There would be no Danzo attempting to steal power for their own glory, and there would be no Itachi to genocide the clan in an act of selfish desparation. No, the mistakes of the past would stay there like the echo of a distant memory. A lesson learned in time that would never, ever, be repeated so long as Achana could help it.
As the merchants and transporters got the cargo of the caravan checked in to the Village's commerce center in Whirlpool, Achana received her pay for her efforts. A standard C-Rank mission, but none the less, she was grateful that it had not become a B-Rank situation with live combat that would have forced her to actually lift a finger beyond her watch duties. She had no drive to actually fight, especially since she was still mending from the grevious gunshot injuries she had sustained in the assault on the Leaf Village. Though she did not pride herself above the idle passtime of a sparring match. Something she had not had the joy of partaking in since leaving the Academy. Though, such things were a passing fancy in the mind of the young Uchiha. It was time to go meet up with her genjutsu tutor who would be schooling her for the upcoming Chunin Exams.
Her teacher was a friend of the family, and a plant in the Whirlpool Village. An older man by the name of Yamataro Yuji was Achana's contact. Old Man Yuji was a former interrogator for the Sonozaki Family, but in his advanced age, had been permitted to retire from the life of organized crime. Now he spent his time in Water country, living it up in a life of relative peace. However, his teaching and tutoring was called in as a favor to the family, not to mention he was being paid well to assist Achana in refining her skills in the mind-bending, sanity-shattering arts of Genjutsu.
As Achana arrived at the home of Yamataro, she noticed how well he had seemingly done for himself. A private estate with a large walled front yard in the classic eastern fashion. Most lived in modernized apartments and owned very little land, especially in a Village. The guardian at the gate, one of Yamataro's personal retainers showed her inside. "Nice digs.", she muttered to herself from behind the concealment of her gas mask. It had seemed that her tutor had done well to invest in commerce and trade in his advanced age. Though, as she walked through the front yard, she lost track of just how far she had actually been walking. However, the problem was that in reality she had not been walking at all. Her mentor had placed a Genjutsu seal on the gate, which had triggered upon her entering.
The genjutsu that Achana had triggered upon entering the gate was one that made it seem like no matter how far the user walked, they were always out of reach of their destination. The use of seals in tandem with the illusory arts was unique and inventive. It was something Achana would likely want to replicate when she got the chance to learn it while not being trapped in this perpetual hell of never being able to even reach the front door of the house. Still, even realizing she was in a genjutsu did nothing to help her with breaking out of it. She would need to work hard at overpowering its influence on her mind with her own chakra. It was a frustrating experience, but she had a feeling that she was being subjected to this as sort of like an initial lesson in her training under the elderly man.
The problematic issue of being trapped in this genjutsu was that unless Achana were to find her resolve and break out of it, starvation and exhaustion could likely be the end result. She was certain her teacher wouldn't let that happen to her. She was a valuable asset of the Sonozaki family. However, with how ruthless her yakuza family was when it came to training, that certainty began to erode. It was clear that the sink or swim mantra when it came to the growth and development of the family was a literal pillar of their beliefs and creed. Meanwhile, a shadow of a man watched from a window on the second floor of the house. A bemused smile creeping across his face as he watched his student stuck still at the gate under the effects of his trap.
Achana had been given plenty of time to think of a way out of the trap, but then the resulting answer came to her. It was the basic principle of genjutsu, that damage broke one free of the control over one's mind. However, depending on the severity and strength of this seal, that tactic might not work. She sighed softly and drew a kunai before stabbing herself in the finger with the tip. Blood squirted from the injury, and she took a step forward. It was broken, however, the time it took her to recognize the effects of the genjutsu and then to figure out a solution to it would have left her vulnerable to attack from the outside long before she would have freed herself to react. It was clear that she would need to work harder and focus more if she were to get on the level of the old man who awaited her inside the house.
Another thought occurred to Achana as she reached the door finally, and that was the possibility that Old Man Yama had not set one trap, but likely had a slew of them prepared in advance for her as sort of an initiation. This time, she activated her Sharingan and began to analyze her surroundings before knocking on the door. There was a lot to take in, but for now she would be cautious and anticipate anything that might even remotely appear dangerous. That was her plan of action when it came to approaching her instruction under the surprisingly whiley elder who had a few tricks plotted for her to overcome.
As Achana reached the stairs to go up, she noticed a small wire, which she stepped over carefully, but just to test it out, she formed a single Shadow Clone to trip the wire. A gun appeared from the wall and put a bullet in the clone's head. "Guess Genjutsu isn't the only thing I've gotta worry about.", she muttered to which she surprisingly got a response. "Is it ever?" The response came from an old man in a traditional black shroud kimono before he ushered her to continue upward. "You haven't died yet, child, and I trust you can make it safely up here where you will stay for the next few weeks.", he encouraged her, yet it was said with a stern face and a commanding tone, that it seemed more like a demand. So she carefully soldiered on upward to her destination.
Upon reaching the second floor of the Yuji estate, Achana found herself in a world of studying and training. This was all designed to mold and shape her into one of the most skilled practicioners of genjutsu that the Sonozaki family could produce. It required the full force of her concentration and effort most days that followed. The effort behind her instruction focused mainly on conjuring illusions and pin pointing the weakest parts of the mind and senses to play on when torturing and befudling your enemies. Some genjutsu usage relied on knowing your enemy or knowing how to pull on the part of their brain that stored their closest and most cherished memories. It was a cruel and sadistic art, but it was the most effective form of fighting when one wanted to bring even the most stalwart of men to their knees by simply using the most powerful weapon they possesed against them; their own mind.
It was the end of her third day of training under Old Man Yama, and so far Achana had survived. However, there was still plenty to learn and much to develop before the impending Chunin exams. Failure and inability to represent the Leaf, and more importantly, her family would be unacceptable. This was her prime duty.
◤ For some odd reason, the male was now trying to figure out why his eyes seemed to be playing tricks on him, something was there, an now it was it. The person who he there talking to him, the strange person with the weird speech was now gone, an in his place, was what seemed to be a pile of playing cards, cards that had been switched, or even turned into for some kinda reason. Scratching his chin under the bandages, the male sighed, not sure what to think of everything that just happened in a what seemed like a few seconds. Catching his breath slowly, he let out a sudden chuckle, soon breaking the silence before wanting to leave an head home. Something bout the time of returning where needed to be was offsetting to him, but if he knew that it was going to help him, he would deal with the pain an suffering of going home to get finished with his training. Placing his hands on his head, the male sighed, wanting to get stronger indeed, but at the cost of what, he had no reason to stay in the Leaf village, he didn't even want to deal with his family anymore. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, slowing his heartrate, his breathing, his mind, his composer, the feeling of letting the anger an malice in his heart fade for the time being, trying to keep what level of sanity he had from leaving him.
Now that he was alone, he wanted to figure out what he was doing, what his goal was, the power he was seeking an the cost of killing those who raised him, well nearly raised him, mostly just killed him with training. The life was not something he was fearful of, the way he was living, being taught, was fearful to him. All he ever was told was to be strong, to be good, to be tough, to never fail or falter in a fight. Problem was, he didn't wanna fight, he wanted to take it easy an rest, to sleep, to enjoy a life where he wasn't just going to be dealing with torture from someone stronger then him. "An with that, I shall take my leave of this village, till the next time I return to do something else then hide an relax here. Guess it's time to go home, an see what hell awaits for me there, maybe I'll be lucky an the family might be gone, or dead, hopefully dead I say, an for good reasons to." Stein laughed, not sure why, but he did an it felt nice for him to be relaxed enough to laugh, a real laugh with no hatred in it. Getting his stuff ready, he placed his hands into his pockets, getting started on his walk back towards the exit of the village, trying to make his way back home where he was from, back to the village of Leaf.

It had been some time since Achana had studied under the old man. Her time in the Chuunin Exams had pulled her away from completing her training with the elder genjutsu master. Though, she was returning not to continue training as a Genin, but to pick up the pace as she needed the strength to excel as a Chuunin, being one of the stronger graduates of the Hidden Leaf Village. There was no room for slacking when it came down to it though. She had witnessed a few stronger opponents when she was there, and knew well that she was far from the top of the food chain.
"It is good you have returned, Young Mistress Sonozaki. Finally proving your worth to the Family as you have reached the next level of your training, but it's far from over.", the old man coughed at the end of his statement before he motioned her over to a basin of water that stood in the center of a stone room below the mansion. Four torches lit the cardinal directions on the four walls. Achana was curious about this room's purpose, but it was soon to be revealed. Yama would walk around and pull off sheets covering the mirrors that stood beneath the North, East, South, and West torches, forcing her to see herself from all sides. He then motioned to the spiral stairs which they had come down behind her as he began to walk up them. "Look into the pool and reflect. Not just on your reflection but the mind behind your reflection.", Yama said with a dark chuckle. "The face beneath your skin. This disguise of flesh hiding the true power of your mind on the inside is a weakness you must learn to discard." , and with that. He was gone, leaving the young Uchiha-blooded individual to the task at hand.
"Reflect on the face beneath the skin...", Achana muttered to herself as she looked into the basin of water. 'What was that even supposed to mean?', she thought to herself before removing her respirator and looking into the water with nothing blocking her face. What she saw was herself staring back as beneath the water was a mirror pointing up to a mirror above her. She was surrounded on all sides by her reflection. What was real, what was unreal. A lot of it made no sense to her as she felt like she could fall into herself just by the effect it created.
Achana slowly began to understand the purpose of this room. It was not to see one's self from the outside but to force them to reflect on their inside. To stare into their own eyes and to face the biggest enemy of their own mind, which was who she saw herself as. Everyone had an opinion of themselves, a value on self-worth. It was what gave most a purpose, or a reason to live. Though, Achana did not have these in the standard sense. She did, but it was hidden beneath not a value of self-worth, but the value people put in her. When she looked at herself, and studied her features, it was cold and calculating. Discerning the arch of her brows and the symetry of her facial features, but she was far from looking beyond that. It was clear that this test was designed to harden her resolve, and hone her mental prowess by giving her power over her own mind, allowing her to channel her willpower for her own sake, not just because others wanted her to.
It was during the training of self-reflection, Achana was forced to look inside herself. To think beyond just who she was on the outside. What was she on the inside? These introspective questions had largely gone unasked for most of her life as she had been groomed and forged into a weapon to lead the Sonozaki Family into the next age. This training would baffle most of those who lacked the restraint and willpower to stare into the mirrors and be faced to concentrate under the weight of their own gaze from all sides. It was something only the most talented and skilled illusionists were able to do anyway.
The room made it impossible for Achana to keep track of time. The hours passed by and turned into a day, and a day could feel like a week. She was not sure how long it had been since Old Man Yama had left her alone in the room, but she felt that she could eat if she were allowed. Her physical needs were going to overtake her if she did not focus. This was when her mind began to break. The latent Sonozaki genetics inside of her body were causing her sanity to degrade into paranoid delusion. 'You know... You've been dead before you were even alive.', she heard in a whisper in her ear. Achana looked into the water to see if anyone was there, but there was nobody. Was this the face beneath the skin? 'All this time, you were the puppet on the strings. But you're learning... We're learning... we're a noble heir to more than just the Sonozaki Family. Right? ', the wicked voice whispered again. But its tone was recognizable. It was her own voice, yet her mouth had made no sounds.
Achana did her best to ignore the whispering in her mind. She tried to reason that it was just a biproduct of the training. In truth, this was just more of the Sonozaki family's manipulations. 'Old Man Yama' was actually subjecting the young Chuunin to a harsh form of genjutsu torture, as the longer she stared at the water, the more the Genjutsu that he had prepared in the form of a seal etched into the stone at the bottom of the basin took hold. The training was designed to prepare her to play host to something far more powerful than just the Sharingan of her Uchiha Bloodline. No, she was being prepared to hold a power that most nations kept secret. But special powers were surfacing all around the ninja world once more. Some in response to the attack from the Akatsuki, and others with designs and machinations that would likely plunge the ninja world back into chaos of war once more.
Achana felt the room grow smaller the more she trained under the weight of the Genjutsu. It was on occasion she would catch glimpses of something moving out of the corner of her eye. It was not the torch light, it was almost like there was another person in the room with her, despite the fact that she was all alone. 'Found the answer yet? You know that we're more than the girl destined to rule a crime family. No~... You and me.', she heard the voice coo in her ear. It was then that she saw her own reflection in the pool moving about. Rising out of the water and speaking to her as the illusion of her refracted image became a reality, at least within the confines of the genjutsu. There was something different about the Achana Sonozaki that faced her now as it slumped to the floor from the water in the basin and sat crouched on her knees. Bound in chains around her hands and legs, the wicked apparition looked up at her with Sharingan activated but the whites of her scalera were black. 'You want to look away, but you know you cant. This is who we are beneath the skin you wear. The bound rage, and our power being used for the benefit of everyone but ourselves.', the illusion explained as it rose up from the knelt position on the ground. A wicked smile was on her lips as she stared down Achana.
The young Sonozaki had no frame of reference to process what was going on before her. She only had the startling fact that she was being confronted by an enemy that she had no idea on how to fight or een if she could. It was herself after all. This being before her, this is who she was. A tortured and chained fragment of a person. A prisoner of her own existence. How she would fight it? She was not sure, not just yet. Though the problem was that she was literally dealing with the darkness in her own head. Struggling against the weight of her own existence and insecurity.
With the crushing disappointment that came from the loss of a prospective turkey dinner fresh and stinging upon his mind, the Perfected Psion found himself tense. He needed to get away, to go somewhere of great beauty. Somewhere with sun and sand and crashing surf, a place where the majesty of nature could be seen and experienced in its full glory!
Luckily, Xzavior knew the perfect place! The Hidden Whirlpool was an idyllic vacation spot, so exclusive that only the most skilled of mages could even reach it, so powerful were the spells placed upon it to keep out the… riff raff, those poor souls born without the intellectual gifts required to grasp the means to reach this place. Dullards doomed to lesser vacations forever.
Xzavior, however, was the Perfected Psion! The greatest psionic and arcane mind in a generation or more! Such parlor tricks were no barrier to one who had mastered the magical arts! With a mere thought, Xzavior found himself upon a sandy, sunny beach.
It was a beautiful day on the island, as always, a light breeze coming across the waters. Without even opening his eyes, Xzavior took a deep breath of the salted ocean air, a smile coming to his lips as he felt the sun warming his face, simply enjoying paradise.
His peace was shattered in an instant, as a sound cut through to his very core, breaking his enjoyment and turning his smile into a wince, and then a frustrated grimace. A gobble on the sand, a feathered intruder upon his perfect vacation.
This simply would not do.
Xzavior finally opened his eyes, amber orbs scanning the sands, searching for the source of the gobble, the devil call, a threat to ruin his vacation. The turkey was quickly located and dispatched with a slash of Terminus Est.
With this, Xzavior returned to trying to enjoying his leisure time, spreading a great quilt open the sand and sitting down upon it, seemingly unbothered by the sun beating on the fine black wool of his expensive suit. In an instant, there was a full tea set and a steaming kettle, as Xzavior began to prepare a steaming beverage for this sweltering day on the beach. He would not let a single turkey ruin his good time. Not here.

What a delightful time to be at the village of Hidden Whirlpool! Lucius grinned wildly as he slowly strolled through the sand of an open beach, a wave of turkeys numbering up to four hundred and fifty turkeys marching in unison behind him with a loud gobble erupting from the group every few steps they made as if chiming their own war song. Lucius' gaze would fall upon a black suited male who was relaxing on the beach before he rolled his shoulders and rose his cane up above his head. "Eh~hem.. G'bble! Gobb'e! Gob'ble!" He barks as if ordering the turkeys behind him, which had all stopped and stared in mock attention at his beckoning form. Lucius' incoherent declaration would be followed by the dropping of his cane to point in the direction of a competing militia of invading turkeys of equal number on the other side of the beach, leaving the black suited male in the middle of the soon to be chaos. As Lucius' cane drops a loud screech comes from the hoard behind him before they all charge wildly forwards. Feathers immediately flying and heads wobbling wildly around on thin necks as the two waves clash into each other around Xzavior. Lucius raises his free hand to his face as he sniffles back a burst of laughter, his hand holding the cane upwards and swinging it around wildly as if he was a crazed conductor leading the mayhem before him. The gobbling hoards clashing together with a combination of clawing talons and pecking beaks as the blood quickly begins to spray across the fresh clean sands that were quickly being torn up by the attacking fowl. "Gob-G'bble! Gobbl'!" He declares loudly into the area as the entire environment begins to erupt in sounds of gunfire and explosions, machine gun bullets sailing harmlessly back and forth across the beach as explosions or canons erupt in the background and cause the waves of the ocean to appear to explode before immediately being untouched once again. The waves of turkeys clashing against each other and rapidly falling to their deaths at a rapid pace, both from mental fatigue and physical injuries thanks to their opposing fowl enemies. As the quick flash of battle begins to wind down, Lucius drops his cane into the sand and collapses onto his back as full on laughter erupts from him, one hand holding his wide brimmed hat over his glasses wearing face as he weezes and continues to laugh aloud.

◤ For some odd reason, it seems that the way to his home village, was somewhere lost in transition, cause for some odd reason, it was looking alot like he was back in the Hidden Whirlpool village, for reasons unknown to him. Why would he want to be back here, was something here calling him back, or was it the feeling that the village was wanting him to stay here an live. Either way, for Stein it was a better reason then to head on home, an deal with people he was not wanting to interact with. The calm nature, the ripple of the water, was something that brought peace to the male, an it kept him from having to over think on any actions that would ruin him, let alone, be the reason he might end up dead. Something about going back home right now, would end up with him not being able to do his deed, an slaughter his father. Stein was strong, but not strong enough to take on the person who brought his life to ruin, let alone be able to leave with his life in his hands. In order for him to get stronger, he would need allies, at least people to back him up, an allow his life to be saved from the clutches of death an whatnot as well. Scratching the back of his head, he sighed, pulling his hood up, trying to keep to himself, as best if possible for him as well. Something was going to need to happen, at the very least allow him to power up enough to do better an get what he needs finished as well. Being a member of the leaf, was supposed to be something, to have a meaning, to be considered something of a well known power, which being of Uchiha blood, meant great things. Sometimes it would be like getting hunted, or attacked, or even killed by your own clanmates, just for them to get better eyes, which haven't lost their light. Other times it meant killing, to further to unlock their eyes to a higher status, or even to get more power from them before the end of it all. Stein took a moment to think, to keep his mind running with different ideas an ways of everything, only to end up hitting something, or someone, slightly not sure what he was doing. All he knew was that he had walked into a person, a slightly hard surface his face bouncing back from the impact, ending up with his falling back, looking at the strange figure in front of him now. "Well, seems like we end up meeting again, don't we Lucius, of all the people to see here, I would run back into you." Seems with the absent mind of his, he would have ran into the backside of a friend, well maybe he was a friend, who knew, they had only meet a while back, an exchanged a few words with each other, till they had to leave an do something else. It was nice to run into someone, well in his case, bump into a person who he had meet an had talked with as well. It would be nice to make friends with him for real, to have some kind of aid an power on his side for when he would get to the level he wanted to reach as well. Stein was looking blank for a moment, which was normal, cause his face was covered with bandages, so his expression couldn't be read at all mostly. Standing up now, he dusted himself off, not wanting to be on the ground for much longer, since it was not where he wanted to sit either in the current time. Knowing that the time back here was going to be relaxing, for how long was it going to last in the village. For now, the only thing that was catching his attention, seemed to be the pile of dead birds, what seemed to be turkeys, an the amount was surprising for what seemed to be larger then normal. Was it Lucius who did this, was he able to pull this amount off on his own, an how was he able to, what did he do to pull off a feat like this. How was this possible, for someone like Stein, it would be harder to pull off, for Lucius, it seemed like it was just another day for him now.
While there was a body, well what seemed to be more like a mountain of bodies from the dead birds, Stein was trying to think on what he was looking at, an what seemed to be just pure power at the pile that was in the area as well. What he wanted to figure out, was how Lucius was able to pull something like that off, what kind of power did he use to unleash that amount of bodies for kills. Was he just that strong, or was he able to use some trick to pull that amount off, he didn't know, nor was he going to try an find out, it was just not in his grasp to get killed, for finding out. Even if Lucius wouldn't do something like that, Stein was just going to leave it be, an try to get stronger in his own way. Closing his eyes for a minute, he wanted to think on everything so far, from the mountain of birds, to the thoughts an power required to do something of this magnitude as well. He could tell that Lucius was strong, but on what level of strength did he hold, just what kind of person was he, to do something of this level in his current state. Not sure what to think, nor how to act on it, Stein was just going to let it be, an figure out on his own, in his time, on what power he would need to to survive longer in this world. Everything was going to be based on a person's strength in this world, an if you didn't have that, then you would need allies who you could rely on to watch your back an help you get it all worked out. Taking a moment, he scratched behind his neck, walking over to a few broke trees, he wanted to figure out what he would do himself from this point onwards, on his path to get his revenge on his family that had raised him. The time was going to be somewhere in the future, even if it meant he would need to destroy an leave the village for the remaining future, going rouge if needed. Stein didn't wanna go rouge, didn't wanna leave his home, only destroy his family an the life that took from him, which would put a war between them as well, in his current state, he would lose instantly. Everything was going to take time, an planning, to build an grow in a force that would allow him to bring it to an end on both side, even with making the leaf a enemy of his for life as well. Who knew what would become of the outcome of that bloodshed, even if a war was to be brought, it might not last long, or even be counted as war in the current time. Nothing but destruction would bring the world to ruin, even if it meant wiping all life out as well for everyone, or for those who was amongst the living, even if that was a short amount of people as well. In the end it was going to be a fight that could shake the world, if enough of the force an power was on the right side of it, including weapons. The power an weapons, the force of strength, the outcome of puppets to be an army would support it all, making it lean towards one side, giving the outcome, to the winning side, leaving those to suffer an end up wishing death was sweet an quick. As time was going by, it was only just a few minutes, thoughts moving at a pace quicker then the body could move, leaving Stein in a thought on what his next move would be on his path. It might lead him to getting stronger, or would lead him to going on a different path, away from everyone an everything he once knew as well. "Well for the time being Lucius, would you mind telling me, what seems to be the reason for us meeting again in a reunion, an why it seems, we had been brought back to the Whirlpool village as well. I'm curious as to why of all the places, this village would be the place for us to once again, meet an interact with each other." It was confusing, as it was something that was strange an odd to him, something about this village, let alone the pile of turkeys as well, brought this male to come back an find somebody he had a few words with. As strange as it had been, it was a nice change of pace for him, with the facts he was nothing more then lacking everything he needed as well. Something in this village would allow him to get stronger, even if it was nothing that would give him the kind of power he was looking for. Power for him, could be something different as well, something that could not been seen, but felt in the mind, inside their own thoughts, in a world that was not able to be touched an seen by normal means. For now the male was thinking, trying to figure it all out, even if it would mean that he would need the time to sit an think everything out till the answers lined up with the questions he was thinking about. Either way, Stein couldn't help but give in to his own thoughts, wanting to get stronger as fast as he could, in both mind an body. Unsure of what way that would go for him, he took his time to let it go as planned, hoping things would work well for him in this way, even if it was not the way he wanting to do everything as well. Well it was going fine for the time being, only till sounds from behind him could be heard, the unaware thing for him, seemed to be more birds, more turkeys, coming in waves an numbers, something that would have to figure out on his own. Something was strange, odd, an what might be off about this attack that was coming. Even if he was strong enough, he was not at the right level to do anything towards these creature either it would seem. Placing a hand in front of him, he quickly did a few handsigns, trying to use a technique he had picked up back home when he was last there. Taking a deep breath he finished his signs, letting out what seemed to be an army, at least a very large amount of crows, enough that it would seem to swarm an fly around the turkeys, to engulf their vision an all, into a spinning roundabout of feathers an squawks it seemed. This might not be the right way, to use this, but for the price of keeping himself alive an not in the path of getting peaked, Stein would do what he thought might be the best answer of help he had in his list. Watching as the birds came an went around the turkeys, he was thinking on what he could next, to follow up on the attack, even at the cost of what might be a overload on his body as well. Taking a deep breath, he watched, thinking, planning on his next attack, trying to get something worked out for a kill count on these birds.
