12. When the Seals Weaken

Chapter 12: When the Seals Weaken

(Authors Note: Starting in this chapter, I will be using recommended audio tracks that can be played to get a better feeling of what I had envisioned in the particular scenesThe notes will be signified by an asterisk and track name. For some scenes, it may become necessary to describe the actual times in the particular song that I had pictured for the scene.)

(Queue: Nightwish - Dark Chest of Wonders)

The two shinobi begin readying themselves for their initial charge against one another, neither shinobi showing a slightest intimidation in front of the other. Both shinobi then immediately charge at one another with a blinding speed rarely shown by even the fastest of shinobi. As the two shinobi connect with one another in the centre of the makeshift ring created by the surrounding ANBU and SICT members, dust flies from all angles and the two shinobi become lost in the cloud or swirling air and dirt. Only brief flashes of the two shinobi can be seen, by the spectators through the thick cloud that has now become a swirling cyclone in front of them.

Suddenly, both shinobi come rocketing out of the top of dust cloud, rising high into the air as if launched by some massive catapult. Both fighters trying to out do the other by rising higher and faster then the other, racing toward the sky. As both competitors reach the apex of their ascent, the exchange a flurry of punches and kicks as they become inverted, and begin plummeting down toward the earth again.

The two emerge from the newly formed crater in the centre of the confined area exchanging a series of fast punches. Each shinobi connect with each others fists directly against one another, leaving a loud resonating sound of bone hitting bone echoing through the area. The masked shinobi, favours using his right arm for heavy right hook punches, all of which are being easily deflected by Toshida, whose fighting style emphasizes finesse with an open handed fighting style.

The exchange continues for several minutes, neither fighter getting the upper hand on the other, the masked fighter continues with right and left hooks, while Toshida blocks with open hands and strikes with an open fist.

"Hmpf, I was never even close to imitating Toshida's fighting style." A nervous Keinea thinks to himself as he watches the two fighters with a vigilant look. "He truly is the master of the open fist fighting style."

Back at the fight, Toshida is the first to make a decisive strike against his opponent. "EAT THIS!" Toshida screams as he sends the shinobi airborne with a strong palm strike to the masked shinobi's stomach.

The SICT team member recovers quickly, back flipping in mid air and landing on his feet. The shinobi wastes no time as he launches himself at Toshida yet again. He moves so fast that Toshida is barely able to defend himself as the shinobi strikes from just under his line of view, sending Toshida into the air with a well-placed kick just under the jaw.

As Toshida flies into the air he cannot help but smirk, as a worthy opponent has come his way. He then notices the masked shinobi appear directly behind him, using the leaf shadow dance to remain out of Toshida's view. As the masked shinobi brings his arm about to strike Toshida, Toshida spins around quickly in mid air and blocks the shinobi's attack with the palm of his hand. The two get thrown off balance and come crashing into the ground, tumbling across the dirt as their momentum wears off.

Neither shinobi is willing to let the other follow up with an attack, and both fighters kick up to their feet almost as fast as they had fallen. The masked fighter kicks off using his left leg, and he once again charges toward Toshida. Toshida readies himself in the open fist pose, and immediately is able to predict where the masked shinobi will strike. Sure enough, Toshida raises his left arm and is able to counter the incoming right hook. As Toshida catches the strike in the centre of his palm, the masked fighter does not notice as Toshida has unleashed his own right-handed strike. An open-handed right hook hammers the masked shinobi across the face, knocking the shinobi to the ground.

The masked fighter begins to question how it is that Toshida is able to match his every move. "This doesn't make sense. How does he know where I am going to strike? I don't understand. Well, I guess I just have to move faster."

The masked shinobi then raises both of his forearms in front of his face in an X. Before Toshida can try to analyse the shinobi's actions, the fighter disappears. Toshida is alarmed by the disappearance but soon is sent hurdling forward to the ground, where he then skids along the dirt face first.

"Holy shit, that was fast!" Toshida says to himself, "I didn't even have the chance to feel his presence behind me. This kid is good."

The masked fighter has taken roughly twenty metres from Toshida. He stands with his back straight and his left arm extended with his hand up in front of him. He gestures Toshida to attack him, and before Toshida can accept the offer, the fighter again disappears and reappears behind Toshida.

Toshida is aware of the shinobi's presence this time and he spins around with lightning speed, deflecting the shinobi's punch with a quick spin kick. The fighter loses his balance and begins to stagger forward, allowing Toshida to follow up on his own momentum, striking the fighter in the back of the head with an airborne front kick. The fighter is sent to the ground yet again but stops himself before skidding along the ground. He recovers quickly and charges at Toshida yet again. Toshida instead of charging, begins to run away from the shinobi.

The two shinobi then end up running through the forest side by side with all of the SICT and ANBU guards following in their wake. The two approach the trunk of a very large and thick tree. The two run up along the tree side by side, neither wanting to fall behind the other and risk being the victim of the next onslaught, as the two reach the top, Toshida stops in his tracks allowing the other fighter the fly off the tree and into the open air. Toshida leaps off the tree into the open, creating a perfect line of sight between himself and the mysterious fighter.

Toshida slams his hands together in the seal of the tiger, readying himself to start a jutsu. "I've got you now." Toshida says silently under his breath.

Keinea, who remains cornered by several ANBU guards watches his brother's actions in horror, as Toshida's next move may prove too reckless for his own good. "STOP IT BROTHER! DO NOT USE ANY OF YOUR TECHNIQUES! WE CAN'T AFFORD THE DRAGON WAKING UP!"

A few feet away from Keinea stands Kakashi, who has become confused at the sin shinobi's words. "Wake up the dragon?" Kakashi looks on in disbelief as the realization of whom this man is has just hit him. "Could this young man be "that" boy? This is not good. The last thing I need is that beast waking up."

Toshida commences his technique with a few lightning fast hand seals. Dragon, horse, ram, dog, tiger.

"Raiton: Denkou Tama!" (Lightning Bullet) Toshida gathers a large amount of chakra into his chest and sparks of electricity begin to spark out from the small spaces between his teeth that are now exposed in a laboured grin as he struggles to contain the large amount of energy. After only a couple seconds of gathering chakra, Toshida releases the chakra that has formed into a large ball of compressed electricity. The bullet shoots out toward the prone airborne shinobi with incredible speed.

The masked shinobi's eyes widen underneath the thick goggles as he is shocked by the incoming attack. The shinobi acts quickly and spins at high speed, dispersing the attack with a thunderous spin kick with his left leg that slices directly through the centre of the lightning ball, surprising the fighters opponent.

(Song ends)

"WHAT!" Exclaims Toshida. "How in the hell did that guy manage to deflect an attack of that magnitude?"

Toshida lands safely on the ground and looks up toward his still airborne opponent who is headed for a landing on the wall of the Hokage building. The shinobi lands safely on his right leg, but as soon as his left leg lands on the wall, the shinobi finds himself unable to focus chakra into his feet and he falls off the wall heading straight to the ground, catching the attention of a now amused Toshida.

The shinobi manages to land on the ground safely on his right leg, but finds that his left leg is numb and disabled. He desperately tries to get feeling back into his leg, striking and massaging it desperately in the faint hope that the numbness will subside.

Toshida rises to his feet and stalks toward the disabled fighter, "You have a great amount of speed on your side and your technique is very impressive. But blocking an electric attack with your leg was not a smart move for a taijutsu user." The masked shinobi manages to rise to his feet, hobbling on one leg with his fists at the ready. "That attack sent a surge of electricity through all the nerves in your lower leg. It is going to be numb for a while and I doubt you will be able to use it very well. Give up now and you will live, there is no need for you to die here today. So, please, just stay down."

"Never. I will not back down. I will not give up, not while both of my sensei's are watching me. Not today!" The shinobi crosses his arms in front of his face again and chakra begins to gather from inside him and is made manifest in a blue aura around him.

"I can tell by your voice, that you are still young. Trust me, I know how it feels to want to impress your superiors, but this is foolish. You cannot move your strongest leg, so your offense and speed have been severely crippled. Back down now and I will not finish you off."

Inside Toshida's head, he begins to here a faint but deep laughter. His eyes widen and the hair all over his body begins to stand on end as goose bumps cover him from head to toe. Toshida knows what the voice is, and why he is hearing it.

"NO! NO NOT NOW!" Toshida says to himself as his mind begins to rush into a panic. "I didn't think it would wake up this quickly. I-I didn't use that much chakra did I? Are my senses beginning to numb as well?"

Before Toshida can react to the initial stages of the dragon's awakening, his opponent takes off with an explosion of high speed. His leg seemingly full recovered from the brief injury, he speeds toward Toshida, ready to continue their high stakes battle.

Meanwhile, the Hokage and her entourage are approaching the main gates of the leaf village. Shino and Ino have still not awakened after their ordeal, and Naruto has remained quiet during almost the entire trip. However, when he is able to see the gates that belong to his home, a smile strikes across his face, and Naruto's disposition changes to one of happiness. So much that he cannot hold back his joy.

"YAHOO! I'M HOME! It has only been half the time I was supposed to be away, but I don't care, it still seems like an eternity. I can't wait to see Iruka-sensei again, go to the ramen stand, see how the others are . . ."

Before Naruto can continue with his reminiscing, an overwhelming and powerful thought crosses his mind and he finds himself unable to hold back his emotion. He leaps high into the air waving his arms frantically as if trying to actually fly higher into the air.

"RAMEN!" Naruto screams, "RAMEN!"

As the rest of the entourage tries to ignore Naruto's ridiculous display, the Hokage notices one of the palace guards running out from the other side of the open gates. He runs at high speed screaming the Hokage's name in an attempt to get her attention. His face brandishes a look of panic and Tsunade finds herself worried by the unexpected greeting. She too begins running toward the guard, and her entire entourage follows suit.

When Tsunade meets with the guard she tries to calm him down quickly. "Ok now relax and tell me what is the matter?"

The guard replies trying to gather his breath as quickly as possible. "Hokage-sama, there was a break in at your office."

The Hokage looks to the guard in shock, "What? A break in? By whom?"

"I don't know Hokage-sama, Iruka-sensei noticed something peculiar earlier in the day and he reported it to ANBU. They evacuated the building and allowed the intruders to infiltrate the office. While the robbers where inside, ANBU sealed off all of their escape routes . . . and then they showed up."

"What do you mean, they?" Tsunade asks. "Who showed up at the building?"

"SICT did Hokage-sama." An angry look crosses of Tsunade's face as it appears Kakashi has grown impatient. "They showed up and took over control of the operation. They sent an operative in to spy on the intruders, and then attempted to capture them as they left. But things didn't go as planned and now there is a fight between their leader and one of the SICT operatives."

"Their leader? How many of them are there? Who is the leader?" The Hokage asks in rapid sequence, grabbing the guard on the shoulder as she questions.

"I-I think there were four of them Tsunade-sama. The leader's name was Tosh . . . Toshi . . . Ah yes, Toshida!"

A look of fear and amazement strikes across the faces of the entire entourage, as their ordeal in the wave country seems to have beaten them home. Tsunade turns to her entourage with a determined look on her face and waves her guards to follow her as she runs toward the gate at top speed, her arms straight out behind her.

"LETS GO!" She says, as she takes off toward the village, her ANBU guards, Jiraiya and Shizune in toe.

"H-hey! Wait for me!" Naruto screams as he to joins the fray. Before anyone else can say anything, Sakura, Chouji and Neji have joined the rush to the leaf village.

Back at the battle scene, Toshida finds himself desperately trying to counter the masked ninja's frightening speed. The shinobi throws heavy punches at Toshida and Toshida just barely manages to cross his arms in front of him, just narrowly blocking the strikes aimed at his head and chest. Toshida then catches a quick glance of the lightning fast shinobi circling like a shark in the ocean. Toshida wastes no time and begins to follow in the shinobi's wake.

The two fighters are now circling the area parallel to one another, neither fighter wants to take the risk of telegraphing their next move. The two begin to move faster and faster, sending more dust and dirt into the air, blinding anyone that has been trying to follow the exchange with their eyes.

As the Hokage and her company draw closer to the battle field, they too can notice the huge cyclone of dirt and dust that has entered the air via the speed of the two fighters. As Tsunade notices the battle taking place, she increases her speed as do her guards.

Toshida finally stops the cyclone by slamming his foot down in front of him, stopping almost all of his momentum immediately. At the same time he places his right fist into the palm of his left hand and straightens out his elbow and pushes backward in the opposite direction. Toshida times it perfectly and ends up catching the pursuing shinobi by surprise directly in the face, shattering the masked shinobi's goggles and sending him skidding along the ground, tumbling and rolling end over end until crashing into a nearby wall. Toshida slowly rises to his feet, having been severely drained by having to keep up such a high level of speed for so long. The masked shinobi also begins to rise to his feet after clearly some dust and debris from the wall off of himself.

"When it comes to Taijutsu, I am superior to this guy. My strikes are heavier, my technique more refined, and my style nearly impossible to counter. However, he is able to maintain that inhuman speed for much longer than me. That is what the difference maker in this match is. Although he has been severely injured by my attacks, I am just as drained from having to move so fast."

Toshida stops his analysis of the match abruptly as the voice inside him has returned, although much louder than before. "Heh heh heh. Looks like you have been having fun kid. But I think maybe it is about time I woke up and stretched out for a bit."

A look of terror embeds itself on Toshida's face as he openly speaks out against the waking beast. "Go to hell you monster! This is not your fight, go back to comatose hell where you belong and stay out of my life!"

Keinea looks on in horror as he realizes what is happening. "Dammit! Brother is already at stage two. If he can already hear the dragon loud enough that he has to address it openly, there is not much time before he reaches stage five. When that happens, it will take this whole attachment to stop him."

Kakashi looks to Keinea and addresses the situation. "You! Tell me, is that boy the vessel for the dragon?"

Keinea responds to the Leaf jounin, although weary and somewhat spiteful. "Yes, now what is it to you? What do you care?"

"I know about that beast's deeds and I know what it is capable of. Is there any hope of stopping it from awakening?"

"Y-yes there is" Keinea responds, "But how do you know about brothers' burden?"

Kakashi looks to the ground and as he remembers a dark and tragic tale, "I have read the reports from the survivors of the Battle of Tarawa Creek. What most people dismissed as mass hysteria, I have come to believe as fact."

Keinea lowers his head as he understands the reference, "Yes. My brother was at Tarawa Creek. Or as I am sure you have heard, "The Battle of Blood River"

Back at the battle scene, Toshida continues his anger words with the demon beast inside of him. "I don't need you, or your help or anything of the sort. Just shut up! AND STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!"

As Toshida screams out, he takes off with blinding speed toward the still weary masked fighter, his face half exposed by the shattered goggles. He finds himself too slow to react as Toshida follows with a thunderous open-handed strike to the centre of his chest sending him back into the wall and embedding him several inches into the foundation. Toshida follows up with an open-handed strike that the masked shinobi just barely manages to evade, leaving a large hole in the concrete where the shinobi's head once resided.

Toshida speeds after the fleeing shinobi and catches up to him quickly, trying to trip him up with a fast spinning sweep with his right leg. The shinobi manages to leave the ground in time to dodge the sweep attempt, but cannot dodge Toshida's follow up. Toshida follows through with his momentum, spinning into the air and swinging his right leg toward the fighter, as the fighter moves to block the right leg which does not connect, he is caught by surprise as a back spin kick with the left leg that strikes him in the left temple, sending him once again to the ground.

"Zaigou Senpuu!" (Sinful Whirlwind) Toshida shouts as the kick connects. When Toshida lands on the ground again, he readies his hands in the seal of the rat, ready to start another jutsu. However, he finds himself paralysed where he stands, and soon drops to his knees clutching his stomach and grimacing in intense pain.

"No! Not now you bastard! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Toshida's screams echo throughout the entire village with a blood curdling reverberation, and sending chills up even the most hardened shinobi's spine. At that moment, Tsunade and company arrive at the battle scene, shocked to see Toshida on the ground clutching his stomach and screaming in pain.

"This is not good." Tsunade says to herself, "We don't need this guy losing it here in the village, there are too many civilians here."

Meanwhile, Keinea begs Kakashi to let him and his comrades go to his brother's aid. "God dammit! Let us help him. If we don't then we are all in serious trouble don't you get it!"

Before Kakashi can offer a response his attention is again drawn to Toshida as his chakra flares up with extreme intensity. A massive green aura begins to appear around him as he remains screaming at the top of his lungs, as if he was being tortured to the brink of death. He embeds his hands down into the ground, concealing them from view, as his eyes glow with a green aura and his hair stands directly on end and rapidly unties itself from its braid as if being untied with invisible fast-moving hands. His hair the drops down do just below his shoulders and it begins to change colour slowly, moving from a shade of black darker then any night sky, to a pale white colour with a mild green tinge to it.

Naruto finds himself stricken with fear and unable to move, as he too feels something brewing in himself. "What's this feeling? Why do I feel sick all of a sudden?"

Naruto finds himself even more petrified as Toshida raises his head and looks Naruto straight in the eyes, although the eyes staring at Naruto are not those of Toshida. The eyes are almost identical to the eyes of the nine-tails only reptilian in appearance. The slits that were once pupils, are almost as narrow as the thin edge of a coin. The look in Toshida's eyes, although frightening to Naruto, hide a panicked expression. As if Toshida was behind the eyes crying out for help.

Toshida continues writhing around on the ground as his body goes through changes in front of everyone's eyes. He raises his hands from the dirt to find that claws have arisen from what were once fingernails, and light green scales begin to cover numerous patches over his arms.

Toshida stands to his feet still clutching his stomach in one hand and now clutching his head in the other, he looks to his brother with fear in his eyes and speaks in a voice that is deeper and darker then his own, "Help me! Please brother, Help me!"

Keinea cannot take it anymore, and with tears in his eyes he takes a swing at Kakashi to throw his guard off. Kakashi avoids the punch easily and restrains Keinea by the arms, placing them behind his back.

Keinea focuses his chakra into the area around him and struggles to free himself from Kakashi's grip. He swings his legs around frantically, putting all the pressure on his arms almost separating both his elbows. He manages to get Kakashi to turn just enough so that the shadow of the Hokage's building loams over him and Keinea then smiles as he kicks at Kakashi. The kick does not connect with Kakashi, as it enters the shadow cast down on him and the kick is felt by one of the guards restraining Maea, who resides in the shadow of the same building. Keinea kicks again and connects with the face of the guard restraining Toragai. Keinea then frees himself from Kakashi's grip, entering the shadow that has been cast upon the leaf Jounin.

Toragai then disappears into the shadows and Maea soon after. The three move at break neck speed through the shadow toward their leader. As the three of them leap out of the shadow aimed directly at Toshida, all three of them roll up their sleeves revealing the mark of the sealing jutsu used to incapacitate the dragon. The three tackle Toshida to the ground and strike him at strategic points on Toshida's body.

"Fuinjutsu: Hyakuhei Fuin (Sealing Technique: Seal of All Evils)" The symbols flow from the shinobi's arms and into their frightened leader, fighting a battle inside Toshida's body. The sealing jutsu begins to flood through every inch of Toshida's body covering him in black symbols. As Toshida screams even louder then before, the three sin shinobi look on in horror as the seals are receding, and Toshida's transformation continues.

"What the hell is going on!" Toragai asks. "This has never happened before, he must be growing too immune to the seal. He is too far into the transformation."

Toshida's chakra flares up and sends all three of his teammates hurling into the air. After seeing that the sin shinobi's efforts have failed, three ANBU guards move in to try and restrain the shinobi.

"Don't come near me!" Toshida screams as the ANBU are almost directly on top of him.

Toshida then finds himself helpless to stop as he strikes all three ANBU guards simultaneously with one quick slash. The ANBU guards recover quickly, and move in to attack again. Toshida begs them to stay away but the ANBU guards show no fear, and continue their charge. Toshida's expression changes from one of panic, to a sadistic smile. His teeth have become like sharp fangs, and his claws protrude outward.

Neji stands next to Naruto watching the events unfurl in dramatic fashion, and finds himself at a lack for better words. "What the hell is he? What is happening to him?"

Keinea lowers his head in shame as he realizes that it is too late. "It's not him anymore. I'm sorry brother. We were too late."

Toshida holds up both hands with his fingers extended in the seals of half rams. He turns both hands sideways and spreads his extended fingers and connects the two of them at the knuckle. Toshida, or rather . . . the dragon, has started a jutsu.

"Ryuujin Pou: Ryuu Shippo!" (Dragon God's art: Dragons tail) Toshida separates his fingers from one another and pulls apart two large extensions of pure green chakra. As the length of the two strands reach a length of more than five feet, they separate and Toshida has formed two whips made of pure chakra extended out of his two fingers in each hand. As the ANBU guards charge, Toshida swings his left whip which unfurls and strikes the first ANBU guard with the point of the whip. As chakra pours into the ANBU guards body, the guard feels a sensation comparable with a full powered strike from a jyuuken master.

The second guard moves in fast on Toshidas right side, but his advance is brought to an abrupt halt as Toshida swings his left whip that wraps around the ANBU guards neck. Toshida swings his arm and the ANBU guard is taken off his feet, being thrown around like a rag doll, helpless to avoid the abuse. Toshida swings the guard into the trunk of one of the nearby trees, splintering it where the guard made impact. Toshida maintains his extended grip on the guard and whips him in the opposite direction, releasing the ANBU member at the last minute and sending the guard through the thick concrete wall of the Hokage's building.

The third ANBU guard charges in toward Toshida, as Toshida retracts both of the whips to the tip of his fingers. The materialized chakra vibrates at Toshida's finger tips like the tail of a rattlesnake. Toshida aims his two fingers at the oncoming guard and the chakra whip shoots out from his fingers toward the ANBU at bullet speed. The ANBU guard barely manages to avoid certain death, as he leaps and twists in mid avoiding the sharp tip of the whip that pierces through the trunk of a thick tree with ease.

As Toshida aims his second shot at the ANBU guard, he soon finds his arm being restrained by his brother Keinea. "He is only at level three! I can tell just by how much chakra he is exerting. The dragon does not have total control over him yet. The dragon has influence, but brother is managing to hold back."

"Let go of me, brother!" Toshida says to his struggling sibling.

"That just proves it! When the dragon takes over, it never calls me brother. Only when brother is still in control. He is fighting to free us from the guards. Dammit brother! Why would you do something so risky? Do you want to be killed before we find a cure for you?"

Keinea reaches behind and restrains his brother's other arm, pinning both of them behind him and causing Toshida to lose the whips he had been controlling, and possibly saving the ANBU guards life. Toshida himself grimaces as he too tries to restrain himself from attacking any further. Keinea searches amongst the bystanders searching for anyone that may be able to help, as he looks to his fellow teammates, both Maea and Toragai rise to their feet quickly and prepare to perform the sealing technique yet again.

Then, for a brief instant, Toshida's eyes revert back to his own, suppressing the glare of the dragon momentarily. He turns his head to look at his brother, "Brother . . . its too strong right now for that to work. The beast is using too much chakra right now through me. It is blocking the attempts to use the sealing technique."

Keinea has tears in his eyes, as he fears he may have to fulfill part of the promise he made to his brother a long time ago. "I won't do it brother, I won't. If you are going to die, than I will die with you."

"No one dies here today Keinea. I told you all that earlier today."

"But brother, what are we supposed to do? If you're producing too much chakra how are we going to use the technique?"

"Stop . . . me from . . . using . . . my chakra!"

"B-but . . . how in the hell are we going to do that?"

Toshida turns his head slowly still trying to fight the will of the dragon from taking control of him again. Toshida looks through the crowd and his eyes become locked on a certain member of the horrified audience. As he locks eyes with the young man, the dragon begins to take over again, and Toshida's eyes revert to the reptilian sheen that only the dragon possesses, and his voice becomes deep and hideous yet again.

"U-use . . . the . . . Hy . . . Hyu Hyuuga . . . USE THE HYUUGA KID!" Toshida bellows, cause the hair on the back of Neji's neck to stand on end.

Keinea is quickly able to understand what his brother was referring to. "Of coarse! That kid is a jyuuken user. He targets tenketsu points! If I can get him to close off my brother's chakra holes, we can perform the seal effectively without interference."

Keinea directs his attention to Neji and screams at him as loud as he possibly can, "HEY YOU! THE HYUUGA KID! ATTACK HIM! I'LL HOLD HIM, AND YOU CLOSE HIS CHAKRA HOLES!"

"NO! NEJI! Stay away from him!" Tsunade screams at her subordinate.

Neji understands the plan quickly and races to the scene moving past the guards that try to stop him from interfering and ignoring the Hokage's orders to stay out of harms way.

"BYAKUGAN" Neji says, as the famous advanced bloodline of the Hyuuga clan takes full effect, and Neji immediately begins to target the circulatory system of the prone Toshida from a number of metres away.

Neji arrives in front of Toshida standing only several paces away from him. He fights off the feeling of nervousness that had been slowly consuming him, and raises both of his arms out with his hands standing on end, palms flat and straight out. He then takes the appropriate position, with his arms stretched out to both sides angled slightly. The divination symbol appears in Neji's vision as he is ready to commence his coup de gras.

"Jyuukenpou: Hakke Rokujuu Yonshou!" (Gentle fist style: Divination Field, Sixty-
four Palms)
