Zero's movements were becoming dull, his arms were numb, the cold was eating away at his bones, and he still had two enemies before him. He lunged at the closest one, who simply sidestepped to the right, causing zero to stumble forward and leaving him in a vulnerable state. The assailant used the opportunity to perform a diagonal slash down his back but Zero simply utilized the momentum from stumbling forward to go into a roll. As soon as his feet hits the ground he jumped backwards, rotating his left katana as he does so in order to impale the attacker.

Before the man's body even touched to ground, Zero maneuvered around him and aimed a horizontal slash at the second attacker's chest, but the man saw it coming. He swung his blade upwards, redirecting Zero's blade upwards before following up with a spinning back kick to his chest. As the man's leg came up for the kick, Zero thrust his second blade into the bottom of the man's foot and brings down his first blade vertically on his leg, cutting it clean off.

Zero walked over to the assailant as he screamed in pain and tried to crawl away. He raised his left katana and stabbed the man through the heart. Zero pulled his weapon free of the body and flicked it so that the blood would dislodge itself from the blade. He sheathed both weapons in their single case and walked a few meters before collapsing against a snow capped boulder. He lets out a long sigh as he pulls his black coat tighter and adjusts the indigo and white scarf around his neck. He digs into pocket and pulls out a pink ribbon with a soundless bell at the end and used it to tie his long grey hair into a ponytail.

He peels himself from the snow covered ground and threw on his gloves as he walked to a clearing in the distance. He had hoped for an uneventful journey when he had first set out from Kumogakure, but men had been coming after him in droves. Though he suspected them to be affiliated with the Mandalorians, not one if them had revealed who had employed them. Once in the clearing he see's a figure, standing as if they had been waiting for him the whole time. He came to a stop a good distance away from the man but couldn't see his face since his back was turned. A frigid wind blew, it's cold bite stung Zero's skin as his coat snapped about behind him like a cape.

"Who are you?"

Hashirama @ sig

---

In the blizzard field with his legs sunken knee level into the thick snow, tiny stings of cold upon his cheek. However the cold had the least of Hashirama's attention. He gazes over the beautiful bright snow terrain for a brief moment, almost paying no attention to the young man stumbling over the distance behind him, it wasn't long till he took notice. Without even turning around, he answered the young man's inquiry of his identity with a serious dark tone.

"Shodai Hokage, Senju Hashirama. Regret to say, I'm here to take your life."

With that, he focuses his immensely powerful chakra that can even be felt distances away as the pressure pushes off the snow from his feet.

Zero was briefly taken aback by the sudden appearance of the first Hokage himself, but couldn't help it as a smirk broke out on his face. He never expected Hashirama himself to appear this far north just to face him. Though he was slightly relieved that the Mandalorian's weren't the one's after him, he found himself in more of a predicament. Why were they going so far just to hinder his progress? Was it because he had abandoned not only Konoha years ago, but the Senju clan as well? He shook his head to clear his thoughts of such things, now wasn't the time. All that mattered to him now was that which awaited him at the end of his journey, and he would allow no one to stand in his way. He began mumbling a prayer as he unsheathed one of his swords and held it parallel to the ground.

"I am the bone of my sword. Steel is my body, and fire is my blood. I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death nor known to life, I have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet these hands will never hold anything. So as I pray, Sanctuary Of Swords!"

He performed four handseals as he channelled earth chakra into the blade before thrusting it into the ground, causing countless earthen swords four feet in length to rise from the ground across the battlefield with their blades facing skyward, leaving only a small area around himself undisturbed. They earthen swords emerged with such devastating force that they skewered Hashirama as they proceeded skyward. The earthen swords then fell back upon the clearing with the blades facing downwards and lodged themselves in the ground due to gravity, leaving Zero a multitude of weapons at his disposal.

Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description:The user will perform the Horse → Dog → Ox → Snake handseals and channel earth chakra into their sword(s) before thrusting it into the earth. This will cause countless earthen swords four feet in length to rise from the ground across the battlefield with either the blades or hilts facing skyward, and leaving only a small area around the user undisturbed. When this technique is used with the blades facing upwards, they will emerge with such devastating force that they would be able to impale a large summoning creature. The blades are then able to be shoot skyward to attack aerial targets at the user's will. The blades will then fall back upon the field due to gravity but they will fall with the blades facing downwards and lodge themselves in the ground. This provides the user with an virtually unlimited supply of weapons that can be thrown at the opponent or used to fight in close combat, but since traces of the user's chakra remains in the earthen swords, only the user will be able to dislodge them from the earth. The created blades crumble after three turns
~Can only be used twice per battle.
~No S-Rank or above earth techniques in the same or next turn.
~Must wait four turns before it can be used again.

Still with his back turned to the young man, who declared his spirit to fight, it was quiet admirable he thought to himself, but mistaken. He could feel the boy's chakra being channeled to his sword then underground, a massive amount enough to cover the field they were in, but it hardy fazes Hashirama. As countless earthy swords sprout from beneath, Hashirama weaves a snake hand seal while skilfully dodging his body left and right, pinpointing the propelling point of the first few swords with his acute senses. It was only a temporary defence however, as the Hokage transforms his body to an elastic adhesive allowing him to negate the rest of the launching swords.

When the earth technique finally subsides, Hashirama pulls the blades one by one out of his glue body. With the final one taken out, he reforms back to his normal state holding a earth sword and channels it with wind chakra.

"I believe this is yours."

Hashirama sudden turns in a quick motion whilst throwing the earth sword imbued with wind chakra and monstrous strength that travels into and through the young man heart.

Needless to say he was surprised to see Hashirama simply pulled some of the swords from his glue like body, though he had kind of expected as much from him. The man then sudden turned and threw the earthen sword imbued with wind chakra with monstrous strength towards him, Zero raises his sword from the earth before swinging it in a diagonal motion. As the it swings it he channels chakra inside the blade in a constant flow – though normally the chakra would envelope the sword, the chakra instead creates a shell on the inside of the blade, allowing the chakra to rebound infinitely and resonate with itself, releasing a portion of this chakra in the form of three white, rippling shock waves that travel at tremendous speed. The Mirage Blades would slice through the wind enhanced earthen sword and continue towards Hashirama.

"I don't accept returns for used goods Hashirama. It might be a bit late, but allow me to introduce myself. Zero Nezumi. Care to tell me why stopping me is of such grave importance?"

(Kamie Gigei) Command Art: Mirage Blade
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 20 each
Description: Unlike other Kenjutsu shockwaves which are generally large, Kougenjin is a relatively small shockwave that’s size is the same as the blade length of the sword used to launch it. Sacrificing power for speed and quantity, Mirage Blade travels at an incredible pace, relative to the user’s rank; Mirage Blade, when used by a Sannin, would be about twice as fast as a shockwave fired from the Samurai Sabre Technique, though its destructive force is obviously much less. A large amount of chakra is focused inside the user’s blade in the form of a constant flow – though normally the chakra could envelope the sword, here the chakra creates a shell on the inside of the blade, allowing the chakra to rebound infinitely and resonate with itself. When the user slashes their sword, it releases a portion of this chakra in the form of a white, rippling shockwave; thus the name Mirage Blade. Mirage Blade also carries the properties of the blade used to fire it, as well as its size; this means that if the blade used to fire Mirage Blade is sharp enough, Mirage Blade will pass through solid objects by slicing them in half and continuing on, much like a Wind element jutsu would.
*Mirage Blade is not Fuuton element, the comparison to a Fuuton jutsu takes into account an extremely sharp blade.
*Three shockwaves can be fired per use.
*This jutsu may be only be used 3 times per match.
*Useable and taught by Keotsu only.

He began circling to Hashirama's left with his sword still in hand, the crunching snow beneath his boots was briefly the only sound echoing through the snow spattered clearing. Whilst walking, he picked up an earthen swords and threw towards Hashirama, as if to repay him from the earlier favor.

 

[-Quest-]

With 3 bright shockwaves executed from the sword, Hashirama noted the impressive speed that they travel but also their size is smaller than usual sword waves that he dealt with numerous times. Focusing his fire chakra to his right foot, Hashirama releases a concentrated blast of flames to propel himself several meters into the air, allowing the shockwaves to pass under him. This is immediately followed by expelling a large earth golem from his mouth, which Hashirama then does a slight push to the golem's back with his enormous strength, sending it flying to Zero and smashing through the earth sword on its path before making a devastating landing.

Hashirama's expression sadden as well as his tone, sounding almost like a disappointed father.

"I know who you are Zero-kun. Your deflection to Kumogakure has been less than favourable to the eyes of our high-ups, including myself. Everyone in Konoha are my family, my brothers in arms, my inheritors of my will. I promised myself I can never lose another family, not again. Surrender yourself now and I'll do everything in my power as Hokage to give you a place in Konoha, as if you never left."

Type: Attack/Defence
Rank: B
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: The user will focus their fire chakra into their hands or feet. The the user will surround their hands of feet in flames releasing a blast of fire from their hands like when a rocket blasts off. This concerntrated stream will travel up to mid range. Due to the power of the flames, if the user doesn't have his feet firmly on the ground the blast of fire will push him in the opposite direction to which the flames are traveling.
Note: can only make max of 2 blasts per use

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user expels a large creature composed of stone from his mouth. The rock golem has a fair amount of stamina and brute strength, being able to bite and tear off flesh with its mouth and hands respectively. If used from above the target then the user can use the earth golem to drop down onto the opponent like a bomb and crush them. The golem can also devour earth structures and other enemy attacks, biting and chewing on it.

The Hokage's words would have sounded tempting....To anyone besides Zero of course. He had already made up his mind never to go back, and Kumogakure had wormed it's way into his heart; in a way Konoha never could. He had asked them time and again to allow him to search for the Rat sage, but they denied him time and time again. He had gotten fed up with their system and finally left of his own accord, but sending this many shinobi after him was overkill. He couldn't put his finger on it was, but they obviously didn't want him to find whatever it was that awaited him at the end of his journey. He pointed to his headband with the cloud symbol carved into it in response.

"I'll Have to decline Hashirama. As you can see, Kumogakure is where I belong."

Zero watched as flames from the First Hokage feet propelled him above the Mirage Blades and recognized the technique immediately. It was a Dragon Slayer Technique he had seen Zekken use to dodge his blades that very same manner, and wondered what the connection could be between the two. As Hashirama had risen Zero performed three handseals and slammed his hands on the ground, channeling mass amounts of lightning chakra within the area below him. Zero then manipulated the lightning chakra underground to cause countless lightning bolts measuring ten inches in length to spring forth, covering a distance of up to five meters around him that ascend with such speed they could be compared to shooting stars from a distance. The countless lightning bolts ripped apart the stone golem as it was expelled, and also pierced Hashirama's skin in a devastating assault.

Type: Offensive
Rank: S
Range: Mid - Long
Chakra: 40
Damage: 80
Description: The user will initiate the technique by doing a set of 3 hand seals, ending with the boar handseal. Slamming their hands on the ground, channeling mass amounts of lightning chakra within the area below the target. The user will then shape and manipulate the lightning underground, causing countless of 10 inch in length lightning bolts to spring up from under the target(s) and the area up to 5 meters around them; resulting in a devastating assault. Ripping through the skin causing lethal damage after several thunderbolts hit the target. The thunderbolts once shot up from the ground spring upwards in such a fast pace they look like shooting stars from a distance. Because of the pace in which they hurl from within the ground and the area they cover, it's dangerous for the user to be six meters or less near the opponent, risking to be caught in the array. Thus, being a technique designed for distances that surpass short range.
Note: Can only be used x2 per battle.
Note: The user cannot use other S rank (or high) lightning in the same and next turn.
Note: Must wait a cooldown of 3 turns before using again.

 

[-Quest-]

After propelling himself to the air, Hashirama saw young Zero preparing an technique, it would be unwise to continue with his golem as intended without knowing what he was about to face. As crackles of lightning began sprouting from the ground, Hashirama focuses his wind chakra while swinging his arm towards Zero. Turning his body into an invisible wind itself, he removes himself from the lightning's path and travels short range to Zero's left at high speeds, unbeknownst to him. Reforming southwest behind the boy, Hashirama took an earth shaking step forwards as he sends his right fist straight to Zero's torso/back, a monstrous punch that sends him flying with pulverised bones and internal organs, quaking the very earth itself. Zero would land somewhere long range, crashing into a glacier mountain which then triggers an avalanche of sorts, causing rocks and snow to topple on him.

"None of these jutsus wound me more than your words Zero-kun. I'm going to drag you back to Konoha, even if it means shatter very bone in your body!"

Type: Attack/supplentry
Rank: A
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 25
Damage Points: 45
Description: The user will stand like the picture shown below. Then the user will be begin to swing his front arm around in a slicing motion, but as they do, the users body will change to a blast of wind (in the same way suigetsu can replace his body with water) sending them selves at great speed as a slicing wind at the opponent. Though this leaves the user vulnerable to fire attacks if the opponent can see the user. This can also be used in avoiding attacks. The user can reform at any point. But if they dont, they become a slicing blade of wind and reform to their normal selves with their hand up in the air like they just slice the opponent across the chest, which they will have done in there wind form.
Note: Only doujutsu can see the wind.
Note: The user takes double damage in wind state from fire attacks
Note: Can he heard by sound users, can only be heard by non sound ninja when the battle field is near silent
Note: Only be used twice

Type: Offensive
Rank: A-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A (+25)
Damage: 60 (+25)
Description:
A shorter version of the 1000 Metre Punch, this technique is both terribly simple and terribly dangerous. The user concentrates their chakra into their fist and simply lands a devastating full punch blow on the target, sending him flying to at least 100 metres away from where the user is (if nothing is in between). In most cases, if successful the technique is nearly fatal. In addition the technique can also be used to defend against solid ninjutsu attacks such as Earth.
Note: Can only be used by Hashirama Senju, Tsunade and Sakura Biographies.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

Zero smirked as Hashirama declared his intention of dragging his broken body back despite his own unwillingness to return. He wasn't about to back down from a challenge of this magnitude. Zero had kept a close eye on the first hokage, but with a swing of his hand he had vanished from his view. His first thought was to release an omnidirectional attack in order to find Hashirama's location and protect himself if he was close by, but this would simply just waste what little energy he had regained from fighting in the woods. He calmed himself down, reassure by the familiar feel of the blade in his hand. He listened intently for any signs of the first hokage and felt a slight breeze to his left that was immediately followed by a loud stomp.

With little time to react Zero utilized a large extent of his physical capabilities to swing his already drawn sword in a single large arc to his left. The slash was executed with such ferocious velocity that it sliced Hashirama's right forearm clean off before the punch had connected with him. The hand fy a few meter from them both before landing in the soft snow, painting the white powder a sickening shade of crimson. Hashirama's open would sent blood flying on them both, and the patches of snow between them.

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user utilizes a large extent of their physical capabilities to swing their sword in a single large arc, which occurs with such ferocious velocity that the technique can be employed in situations where only a very limited time to react is available. The swing can be used to counter attacks from multiple opponents simultaneously. The technique receives its name due to the entire movement being reminiscent of a crescent moon.
Note: Can only be used by a Cloud member bio or trained by one.

Zero continued his onslaught by channeling lightning chakra into his blade before quickly striking upwards, launching Hashirama skyward, paralyzed by the electrical energy of the sword. He leaps above the first Hokage and delivers a twisting downward thrust to the center of his torso, impelling him to the ground. After this is done Zero jumped away from his heavily bleeding body as if to survey the damage he had caused, flicking his sword in order to free the blood from it's steel blade as he did so.

"I wished it didn't have to be like this Hashirama, but I won't allow anything to stop me from reaching the end of my journey, and discover exactly what it is you are all so desperately trying to keep me away from."

As he steps forward, watched as Zero body language change from a calm loitering stance to him lifting his arm with his sword at hand. His sudden stimulation of chakra was apparent as well indicated his desire for a counterattack. With the sword swung towards his right arm, Hashirama was well prepared for it, such attacks he has seen for a thousand times ever since he was a mere child. Through moulding his chakra to his right arm, he manifests a large blob of glue from where the sword would impact his arm.

The glue itself is made very dense elastic almost like bubblegum, cushioning the sword and engulfing its blade to the point of rendering it unusable. Channeling lightning wouldn't be much help considering glue's insulator properties. With his right arm and Zero's sword stuck together with a big blob of glue, giving Hashirama the opportunity to pivot his body, pulling his right arm backward(Zero as well if he insists on holding the sword) and lands a rotating kick with his left foot to Zero's waist. Needless to say, a devastating blow enough to put the young ninja out of pasture.

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary/Defense
Range: Short-Mid (Long if created from a glue source)
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: N/A (+60 if suffocated)
Description: The user focuses and molds his chakra, using it to create adhesive from his body/surroundings or from a glue source. With this technique, one can create various structures or miscellaneous objects, the shape and form only is limited by the user's imagination although the nature of glue lacks any lethality unless through suffocation. Additionally, the user can freely adjust diversity of his adhesive, creating anywhere from a very liquid syrup-like glue to a more solid elastic type glue. The limits are that the glue can't be created as creatures that act on their free will and the scale of the technique is comparable to a full grown elephant.
Note: Usable 5 times per battle.

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 40 (+25)
Description:
Using simple, yet effective movement when performing a counter attack or a freeform hand attack, the user will manage to spin rapidly and performs a strong rotative high kick to hit the opponent. The technique can be triggered in many ways and more than one kick can be delivered if the user manages to gather enough momentum.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

Laughed to myself as I imaged this. I'm pretty sure I'd go with you into your spin since I wouldn't let go of my blade.

---

Zero felt his blade make contact with something, but he already knew it wasn't flesh. It was softer, yet thick. He assumed that Hashirama had used to same skill that had turned his body into a glue like substance and allowed him to negate physical attacks. His assumption was only half right, but it was still more than he needed. He didn't know if the Hokage had expected him to let go of his sword, but he was sorely mistaken if he did. Zero held fast the hilt of his sword and surrounded his immediate vicinity with a circular wall of these flames that melted the white substance and burned Hashirama to a crisp.

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: The user imbues their blade with fire, before slashing in the direction of the desired enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the previous swing before slashing in the direction of the desired enemy, resulting in the creation of large arcs of intense flame that follow the trajectory of the previous swing. A skilled user of this technique, is capable of surrounding their immediate area with a circular wall of these flames, incinerating multiple targets even if they approach from numerous angles simultaneously.
Note: Can only be used by a Cloud ninja or trained by one.

 

[-Quest-]

As he readies his kick, Hashirama had an idea what to expect as he noticed the heat building up to the point the glue which began to melt, the source seemingly came from the sword. Regardless it doesn't matter to him, as he continues with kick that was already in motion. But to add in conjunction by focusing his earth chakra around his body; a task that should be second nature to him with his earth mastery, coats a protective layer of hard stone through all his body when the wall of flames came to be. The rock armour is more than enough to protect Hashirama from it and as Zero's failed attempt to stop his attack, his punishing kick lands right through the wall of fire to Zero.

Rank: S
Type: Offense/Defence/Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 40 (-15 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user releases a burst of earth chakra from all over his body. As he does this, a multitude of rock seemingly grows from his skin, forming a large, dense armour or rock much bigger and bulkier than the users original size. The armour can be manipulated and used to create extendable weapons to strike a target with like rudimentary swords or hammers. The downside is that the user cannot mold techniques from other elements a part from earth while sustaining the armor. The armor can be manifested in only specific parts of the body if the user so chooses.

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 15

Description: This is a very advanced of advancing the ability to feel chakra. The technique allows the user to concentrate and detect someones chakra. Using these technique sensors can tell when the enemy is approaching and can easily track down targets.
Note: Lasts 5 turns
Note: Can only be used by bio with sensory ability

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

Doubt the hardening would work in time due to our range.

---

Zero was sure that he had incinerated Hashirama with his flames, but was surprised the see him unshaven, clad in a protective layer of hard stone as he continues with his kick. The kick seemed to have landed on it's target, but much to the hokage's surprise Zero was no longer there. He had used the body replacement technique to feign being attacked, and using Hashirama's momentary shock to appear behind him with his second sword drawn. He made a simple yet swift hand movement before he rushed forward, releasing a barrage of lightning needles from his coat sleeve. The needles would pierce through the earthen armour and Hashirama himself as Zero began his rush, causing it to crumble and him to feel the pain of being pierced countless times. Now upon Hashirama's armor free body, Zero performed a lateral slash across his chest, keeping on alert in case he once again turned into glue.

Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 15
Damage points: 30
Description: Using the Body Replacement Technique to feign being attack, the user then takes advantage of their opponent's momentary shock, and charges forward with a lateral sword slash.
Note: Can only be used or taught by a Kumogakure bio.

Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user reshapes the Chidori in their hand into the form of countless senbon which are shot with a simple hand movement towards the target. The senbons are extremely precise and have the same numbing and paralyzing effects as Chidori, carrying enormous speed. Because the technique requires no handseals and is done with simple hand movements, its extremely hard to avoid while in short range and quite dangerous to counter due to the precision attacks it can be used to perform.

 

[-Quest-]

As his kick stretched forwards, the impact he was expecting was missing and his target is on the move. A simple yet effective method of defense, Hashirama uses the momentum from his missed kick to spin his body 360 degrees while releasing wind chakra from his body(removing his hardening technique in the process). A momentary burst of vortex exits his body omnidirectionally, blowing back Zero with deep cuts wounds at the very least. Hashirama takes this opportunity to knead his earth chakra to the ground, sprouting a spear directly pointed behind Zero, where the force of the wind would send him to.

Rank: S
Type: Attack/Defence

Descripton: Creates small pillars of earth, small tools, and small shields of earth

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

Again. Since you'd have to release the amor and then release the wind, I'm sure your counter wouldn't work since we're so close.

---

As Hashirama spun, Zero stopped in his tracks and lightly jumped backwards as the earthen armor fell from his body and he release the wind technique around himself to deflect the lightning senbons. Given his distance to Hashirama, he knew the tornado would hit him as well and used his fire chakra to create rats of fire before the wind technique. When hit by it, the rats would eat the wind and travel through it and towards Hashirama. As the rats burned the first Kokage, Zero swung his sword diagonally and released a large arc of intense flame, burning him even more.

Rank: S

After a short blast of wind, Hashirama could see Zero forming rats with fire converging towards him. By slightly pushing off his left heel, Hashirama uses his level of strength enough to distance himself backwards a few meters in a short amount of time, while simultaneously kneading his water chakra before spewing a torrent. With extreme speeds, water barricade forms blocking the fire rats quite easily while Hashirama weaves a single hand seal. From his water barricade, a water dragon emerges from it's waters and crashes straight towards Zero, who's a short distance away.

Rank: S
Type: Defence
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: N/A
Description: A defensive technique where chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into water, and then expelled from the mouth in a dense torrent, effectively creating a near instantaneous barricade that can be used to intercept incoming attacks.

Rank: B-S-Rank [S-rank]
Type: Offense
Range: Short/Long
Chakra Cost: 20-40
Damage Points: 40-80
Description: After performing a long series of hand seals Ox → Monkey → Hare → Rat → Boar → Bird → Ox → Horse → Bird → Rat → Tiger → Dog → Tiger → Snake → Ox → Ram → Snake → Boar → Ram → Rat → Yang Water → Monkey → Bird → Dragon → Bird → Ox → Horse → Ram → Tiger → Snake → Rat → Monkey → Hare → Boar → Dragon → Ram → Rat → Ox → Monkey → Bird → Yang Water → Rat → Boar → Bird the user then shapes a large amount of water into a giant, powerful dragon, which hits the opponent with formidable might, dealing physical damage. The ideal place to use it is near a body of water, but if the user's skill allows it, it is possible to use it even in a place where there is none. The amount of water used will be in proportion with the user's skill as well as its power which can vary. Ninjas with a primary water specialty will be able to produce up to an S-Rank technique; ninjas with a secondary water specialty will be able to produce up to an A-Rank technique; normal water masters will produce the basic B-Rank technique. Tobirama was able to use this technique with a single hand seal showing testiment to his skill in water ninjutsu.
Note: Requires a water source to use.

Zero watched as Hashirama back away with his first sword still stuck to his arm, and created a wall of water to douse the rats made of fire. A water dragon then sprung from the wall and headed towards him, but he simply delivered an angled downward punch, releasing a adaptable whirlwind that launched him over the dragon and towards the First Hokage. Whilst in the air he swung his second sword diagonally, releasing a red chakra wave that descended towards him.

"Why do you insist on increasing the distance between us? Weren't you the one who said you'd shatter every bone in my body?"

With his water dragon evidently didn't make the impact he intended, Hashirama took quick notice of the young swordsman soaring to the air with his sword ready for swing. Slamming his hands on the ground, where a giant earthly fist erupts from Hashirama's left, punching upwards through the crimson wave then onto Zero in one swift motion and with ease. Needless to say, Zero would't be getting up after that one. The rest of the 20m tall golem then rises from the earth, carrying its creator on its head.

"I stand by my word, son."

Rank: S
Type: Offensive, Supplementary
Range: Short - Long (Made short range of the user with a long range reach)
Chakra cost: 40
Damage points: 80
Description: The user creates a even larger and stronger version of Earth Release: Stone Golem Technique. However, unlike the smaller version, the user creates this stone golem from the ground solely. The user will slam his hand on the ground, manipulating it and shaping it into a large warrior of stone which he can control as long as he keeps his hand in contact with it or with the ground and keeps fueling the technique with chakra. The golem can reach heights of 30 meters and is quite massive but seems to also be capable of moving quite fast as well.

As the earthen golem's fist makes for Zero, he immediately looks up and to the left, releasing wind from his mouth that allowed him to change directions at high speed. The fist would pass above and to the left of him, and as it did he swings his sword once more, channelling chakra inside the blade in a constant flow that allows it to rebound infinitely and resonate with itself. A portion of that chakra would then be released in the form of three white, rippling shock waves that traveled at tremendous speed towards Hashirama and the Golem, slicing through them both.

Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 10
Damage points: N/A
Description: This technique allows the user to change direction in mid-air at high speeds by simply blowing wind out their mouth. The user can also use this technique by blowing it at the ground and causing a dust cloud to rise, concealing the users location and movement.
Note: The user must already be airborne to use

(Kamie Gigei) Command Art: Mirage Blade
Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage: 20 each
Description: Unlike other Kenjutsu shockwaves which are generally large, Kougenjin is a relatively small shockwave that’s size is the same as the blade length of the sword used to launch it. Sacrificing power for speed and quantity, Mirage Blade travels at an incredible pace, relative to the user’s rank; Mirage Blade, when used by a Sannin, would be about twice as fast as a shockwave fired from the Samurai Sabre Technique, though its destructive force is obviously much less. A large amount of chakra is focused inside the user’s blade in the form of a constant flow – though normally the chakra could envelope the sword, here the chakra creates a shell on the inside of the blade, allowing the chakra to rebound infinitely and resonate with itself. When the user slashes their sword, it releases a portion of this chakra in the form of a white, rippling shockwave; thus the name Mirage Blade. Mirage Blade also carries the properties of the blade used to fire it, as well as its size; this means that if the blade used to fire Mirage Blade is sharp enough, Mirage Blade will pass through solid objects by slicing them in half and continuing on, much like a Wind element jutsu would.
*Mirage Blade is not Fuuton element, the comparison to a Fuuton jutsu takes into account an extremely sharp blade.
*Three shockwaves can be fired per use.
*This jutsu may be only be used 3 times per match.
*Useable and taught by Keotsu only.

As he watches Zero spewing wind upwards to shift himself lower to the left, Hashirama who already has his hands already on the ground, simply applies additional chakra to his golem. This creates 4 huge spikes that erupts from the golem's arm as Zero passes under, and without a warning skewers his body like a pin cushion as he attempts to swing his sword. Hashirama could hardly fathom that was remotely avoidable, given that spike's eruption point is literally next(or above) him, the size of one spike was enough to cover at least few meters of diameter, let alone 4. It was a horrible death, one could've avoided if the young ninja had listened.

Rank: B
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Mid
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: 40
Description: The user of this technique condenses the soil and rock in the area to sprout out in the form of four large spikes which attack the target from four separate directions to make it harder to evade. However, it can be easilty avoided by escaping upwards.
