The Fourth Jutsu: Dragon Storm Jutsu!

The next night, Sasuke walks out of his tent & joins his cousin in a nearby clearing. "Hn. I guess it's my turn huh?", Sasuke asks carelessly, knowing he's right. Tsachi smacks his younger relative upside the head & orders, "Don't get that cool attitude with me, or do I have to tell Naruto about the 'Riki Incident'?", Sasuke's eyes grow wide in shock that he'd even mention that. Tsachi smiles & pulls out a scroll, "This is the key to your jutsu, the Dragon Storm Jutsu.", he states as he unrolls the scroll. Sasuke uses his Sharingan & looks at the sequence of hand-signs needed. He steps up & puts his hands together, but Tsachi says, "If you're gonna rush into it, point it up above you instead, please.". Sasuke rolls his eyes & decides to humor him.

Sacred Lightning Art: Dragon Storm Jutsu!

It's at that moment Sasuke was glad he listened. A huge bolt of lightning shot out of Sasuke's hands, forming a dragon as it flew through the sky. As it disappated, both of them noticed storm clouds forming around where the dragon once was. "Impressive cousin, very impressive, & I noticed you've been practicing your psyjutsu as well!", Tsachi gloats as he hugs his cousin. Sasuke states, "It was like a jutsu I've been working on, that 1 I told you about, the fire...", Tsachi interjects, "Oh yeah, I guess it is. Well either way, congrats. You should still practice though, get used to it. None of us ever can go without training.". Sasuke rolls his eyes again, then smiles softly.

Tsachi sits down against a tree, & Sasuke does the same. "Tsachi, I was wanna know something. Your parents were an Uchiha & a Hyuga, but how did you get three dojutsu? Sharingan, I get. Byakugan, I get that too, but the Rinnegan? & why is your last name Shiruba instead of Uchiha or Hyuga? I don't understand.", he asks his big cousin. Tsachi smiles & reclines into the tree, staring up at the sky before answering, "Dad was a full blooded Uchiha, & even though I was little, I still remember the stories he told about the Hidden Leaf, how much he missed it. Mom though...she was an outcast to her family. See, her father was a total Hyuga, but he fell for a woman outside the village, from the Village Hidden in the Rain. They had my mom, who was raised in Leaf, until she ran off with Dad.".

Sasuke inquires, "So, your mother is only half Hyuga?", Tsachi nods & continues, "Yeah, they ran off together & to avoid problems took her mother's maiden name, Shiruba.", Sasuke looks at his cousin with an understanding look & replies, "I get it, so your grandmother had the Rinnegan then? What about your mother, or your bro....", Tsachi glares at him angrily for a second & stands up. "I'm done talking, so please, don't ask any more questions. You can train or go to bed, but.....", Tsachi stops as he hears something in the trees behind him.

Sasuke notices Tsachi has activated his Byakugan, & that he sees something. Tsachi closes his eyes & opens his mouth, while Sasuke laughs silently to himself, "Whoever they are, they messed with the wrong shinobi.". Meanwhile, 2 Cloud ninja are sneaking up to the suspicious characters they were commanded to report on. Over the last week, strange activity was sighted by their sentries, & now it's time to investigate. "Hello", they hear from behind them. The 2 shinobi turn to see 2 identical figures standing in front of them, someone who looks familiar. "I know I've seen you before....", 1 of them states. The other already has a Bingo Book out & is searching through it when he gasps, "YOU....YOU'RE....RUN!".

They go to turn around, but there is no escape. Tsachi smiles & says, "Now, it's time for a song.". The 2 Cloud ninja look to see that they've been seperated, & now each 1 has it's own Tsachi Shiruba to deal with. Music starts to play, & as the song "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage blares inside their minds, their bodies are battered in time with the music by a punishing array of taijutsu. The song ends & Tsachi opens his eyes to see an extremely pissed off Kurenai in front of her. "It's about time, I don't need to have music playing this loudly in the middle of the night, I do need sleep Tsachi.", Kurenai states madly. Sasuke looks up at her & responds, "Well, I guess it isn't surprising that a genjutsu expert heard it. I'll go...", Tsachi interjects, "No, I'm checking them out. Stay put.".

Tsachi walks towards the limp bodies when Kurenai asks, "What did you mean by that Sasuke?", he cracks a small smile & replies, "He used his Melodic Massacre Jutsu. It's a sound based genjutsu that traps the target into a fight. While a song he picks goes on in their heads, Tsachi 'attacks' them, moving in tune with the song. In reality though, they're all just standing still, until the song ends at least.". Kurenai nods slowly in comprehension while thinking to herself, "Interesting, so he has genjutsu skills as well. What can't you do Tsachi?". He walks back, dragging their bodies on the ground & says, "Sorry to wake you Kurenai. Both you & Sasuke should go to sleep, long day tomorrow. I'll be along soon, after I'm done with these 2.", he smiles warmly, & even though the other Leaf ninja there are a little weirded out by it, they smile back & walk away. Kurenai whispers to Sasuke, "You've got a strange cousin.", while he nods & responds, "Yep, but he's family & I love him.". They walk back to the tents & Kurenai sees something she hasn't before, an endearing smile on the face of the young Uchiha.
