It was late into the night when i returned home from my trip to the land of waves, and i was startled to find senshi waiting in my house. Sitting in one of my living room chairs in the dark. "Glad to see you made it back safe and sound, so what did you learn?" this was a bit of an odd question, one i was unsure how to answer. "That i have a long way to go as a blacksmith." senshi didn't seem to like this answer, as the curious look on his face quickly turned into one of irritation. "Wrong but you will figure out the right answer soon enough, katate if things changed around here could i still trust you?" this was senshis response one i did not like, it was such a mysterious and direct question. One that began to make me believe my worst fears, were the Uchiha planning a coop before the massacre, and was it senshi fanning the flames? "Senshi what are you up to?" i asked senshi this question in a direct manner as i turned around to face him. I received no answer he simply tried to walk by me in response i grabbed his shoulder. "Senshi, what are you planning." I asked my question once more in a dead serious tone. "Katate, take your hand off of my shoulder." senshi spoke in a serious and threatening tone as his sharingan shifted into his mangekyou, its design was three spikes going to the top middle, bottom far right, and left points of senshis eyes with a tomo in between each spike. Those eyes and the look senshi gave shook me to my core causing me to release him, as senshi's eyes returned to normal I watched as my friend exited my house into the dead of night. I would attempt to get some sleep, however I was unable as my head was running wild with thoughts. The brother of fugaku senshi was by all right head of the Uchiha clan until sasuke came of age. Could senshi have organized the Uchiha massacre in a twisted plan to take control of both the Uchiha and the leaf, or was it something much worse? I needed answers, yet I was still being watched by tsunade's orders. My only chance was to appear as natural as possible, thus I would exit my home through the front door without any gear or weapons. I took my time strolling through the peaceful village, slowly making my way towards the Uchiha compound where senshi had decided to remain after that horrible night. As I continued to walk through the village appearing as if I was going to visit a friend, which I certainly was. I heard a voice call out to me from a connecting street. "Evening katate, what are you doing out so late?" This question came from kaen who alpreched me from the right intersection. "oh it's just you, scared me for a second kaen." I said this with a short laugh before taking a breath as he had startled me. "I was just on my way over to see senshi, there's something I wanted to talk to him about." I gave kaen an honest response not seeing a point in lying to him. "It's a bit late don't you think he'd be asleep by now?" Kaen asked this question in response with a half smile. "It's senshi, the guy hardly ever sleeps, we both know that. What are you doing out here so late anyway?" In response to my follow up question kaen would simply tilt his head and shrugs before answering. "Just doing my job and keeping an eye on you, I'm a member of the Intel corps and it's not like I can lie to the hokage. But I kept you long enough, say hi to senshi for me and remember. Iv got my eyes on you." Kane finished his words with a laugh before he continued on his way down the street, allowing me to continue making my way to the Uchiha compound. For several moments I stood before the large wooden gates bearing the Uchiha crest, wondering what I would see when I walked through. Part of me thought I would see the compound still completely devastated, thankfully when the massive wooden gate was shoved open. Everything appeared as it was before the massacre had ever happened. There was nothing left over, no weapons, no blood, not even any damage remained on the building's. Despite it's appearance the abandoned compound was possibly even more unsettling like this, I tried to shake off this feeling as I made my way to the head household. As I walked through the abandoned streets the one feeling I couldn't shake, was that of one being watched. I could feel a set of eyes on my back, shifting around I'm the shadows to remain hidden from my sight. More than that I could feel the presence of significantly powerful chakra around me, there was no doubt in my mind that senshi was watching me. What he was planning I couldn't even begin to guess, the most I could do in the moment was keep walking and keep my guard up. This worked for at least a block before it happened, as I passed by an alleyway a single kuni would come flying from the darkness. With a quick side step and spin the kuni would pass in front of my face as I snatched it out of the air with my hand, following through with the spin I planted myself now facing the alley, as two more kuni came flying fourth. With two slashes the two kuni were knocked down into the ground at my sides, allowing me to leap up into the air over the third. Preforming a side spin while in the air, I flung the Kuni I had caught back into the darkness of the alley with considerable force, before landing back on my feet as I heard the sound of metal striking stone. After a moment senshi himself came flying fourth from the darkness, leaping into the air senshi preformed a flip aiming to bring an axe kick down on my left shoulder. Turning and pivoting to the right, senshi's foot struck the ground before me, allowing me to spin around throwing a round house kick towards his face. Senshi dropped down onto the ground to avoid this, where her preformed a spinning kick to sweep my one remaining leg out from under me. Instantly I rolled backwards along the ground and back onto my feet as senshi's fist struck the ground where I had fallen. The second I was on my feet once more I lunged forward with my left fist cocked back, planning to strike senshi across the face. However at the last moment senshi turned to the right, allowing my fist to pass by his face by a meer inch. Faster then I could react senshi spin around slamming a forceful kick into my back, one that sent me tumbling forward straight through the thin wooden door of the building before us. Crashing straight through the door and tumbling into the back wall, a rack full of weapons clattered down atop me, as senshi had sent me smashing straight through the front door of a small armory. As senshi stepped into the armory through the now shattered door, I saw laying on the ground before me a naginata, normally such a weapon required two hands but I could easily make do. Shooting forward into a roll from the pile of weapons, I snatch up the naginata, pinning the shaft against my side and performing a fast yet powerful spin. I followed this up by swinging the naginata above my head, continuing to spin while twirling the pole arm like a bow staff between my fingers. This created a whirlwind of axe slashes around myself, a whirlwind that senshi couldn't simply jump back or in any direction to avoid, now that he had stepped foot inside. At first senshi leaned back, narrowly avoid the fist swing that almost slashed his chest, following this up senshi ducked down to avoid the next slash then leapt up and over the third. Attempting to roll around to my side while on the ground, planting myself to stop the spin, I aimed the tip of the naginata directly at senshi as he stood up. Lunging forward I thrust the pole arm forward at senshi, my aim was to strike in a non lethal area to incapacitate senshi. However senshi would take a step back and raise his foot into the air, slamming it down in the back of the axe blade and driving it into the wooden floor. Stepping forward along the shaft, senshi threw a lightning fast pinch at the bridge of my nose, releasing the naginata I threw my left hand up, knocking senshi's fist into the air. This allowed my to grab senshi by the collar of his cloak and spin the both of us around, through him back fists into their far right wall of the armory. Leaning down I picked up a tanto blade as I rushed forward, taking a diagonal upwards slash at a right angle towards senshi chest. Senshi would duck down and shift along the right side of the wall, causing my slash to dig into the wooden wall next to him. Immediately I brought the blade down in an attempt to slash senshi downwards across his chest, unfortunately senshi caught my forearm before striking me in the chest with a very precise blow to knock the wind out of me. In a split second I felt senshi's strike my elbow to buckle it inwards, before sliding his hand up to my own and wrenching the tanto from my grasp, all before sending me sliding back with a strong and well placed kick to the chest. With the tanto in hand, Senshi was quick to throw it back at me with deadly precision, stepping to the side I turned to face and snatchbthe tanto out of the air, as it passed by my face. Following through on the spin, I flung the tanto into the wooden floor as I planted my feet facing senshi again. Only senshi had leapt forward to strike me across the face with a swift punch, thankfully I was able to slip my head to the left, avoiding the punch before ducking down and under senshi's arm, then pivoting around him to his back. Seizing an handbō as I pivoted around senshi, I struck my friend in the back of his shoulders with two skillful and painful blows. Ducking down in order to avoid the incoming spin kick in retaliation from sensh, I shot back up striking him in the center of his chest with the handbō, knocking a breath of air out of senshi. Gripping by wrist with an ironclad grip, senshi struck me in the throat with a swift chop, making it incredibly difficult to breathe and stunning me for a moment. Senshi acted upon this moment by kicking my right leg, buckling me down onto one knee where he was able to rip the handbō from me and strike me across the face with it. Before I could recover, Senshi seized the sides of my jacket and spun us around, hurling me into the wall by the entrance. Falling to the floor I gasped for breath as I scrambled back onto my feet, grabbing a Kanto off the floor as I stood up, senshi himself would grab a katana off the floor and we clashed once more. Senshi rushed forward with a lightning fast downwards slash, in turn I moved forward to counter with my own upwards swing. The ringing of metal on metal echoed through the armory as our blades clashed, the moment our blades made contact I would flip and turn my arm to the left, redirecting senshi's blade away and placing mine atop his. With an opening made like the wind I made my move, slashing at senshi's neck, by this point things had escalated far beyond what I could have ever expected. This was now a fight for my life. Senshi was quick to drop down and duck under my blade slashing at my stomach with his own, however as he dropped down I anticipated this, leaping off the ground I flipped over senshi. Landing behind him with our back to each other, we both spun around with a forceful slash, the echoing of blades ringing out as our swords clashed once more. Senshi took three more slashes at me, one a downwards diagonal strike at a left angle across my chest. The second was a follow up as senshi flipped his blade around to drag it back across my stomach, and the third was much the same, senshi flipping him blade back around to slash me across the chest. Unfortunately for senshi each one of these slashes were intercepted by one of my own, as I had planted myself while carefully watching his movements. With the third slash deflected I took a step back and dropped down before spinning forward along the ground, taking my own lightning fast slash at senshi's stomach as I came out of my spin. I forced senshi to lunge backwards into the wall to avoid the blade. With his back against the wall senshi began to twirl and spin his katana around himself, this created what appeared to be a fan blade of slashes around senshi, one moving so fast it appeared as a blur. After just a moment senshi would rush forward once more maintaining his twirling of the blade in attempt to confuse me as to where the strike would come from, unfortunately for senshi I could see right through his strategy. Focusing on the motions of the blade I was able to follow the katana as one is able to follow a fan blade with their eyes, this allowed me to spot the opening in senshi's maneuver and as he pressed forward. So to did I, thrusting my blade forward to intercept his, I swirled our blades in a circular motion for a moment before flinging senshi's blade into the wall. Taking a swipe at senshi's feet, one I knew he would leap over, I instantly spun back around placing the blade of my Kanto against the left side of senshi's neck. "That's enough senshi…it's over. We both know when it comes to close quarters armed combat, I have the advantage. There's no room in here for any of your jutsu, you've lost." i spoke to senshi in a dead serious tone, hoping I would not have to strike him down. "Maybe if I were an ordinary Shinobi you would have me." This was all senshi said before faster the I could react, he dropped down onto the ground kicking my left arm up into the air, while falling into a handstand allowing senshi to kick me in the chest with his free foot knocking me back. Watching senshi rush outside I knew I couldn't let him get away, chasing after him I was almost close lined by a kick from senshi who had hid against the wall outside the doorway to catch me off guard. Thankfully I had seen the kick at the last moment, allowing me to drop onto my knees and slide under senshi's leg. Spinning around I took a slash at his leg, only for senshi to leap up and spring off the wall, landing several yards away from me. As I spun back around and stood up, senshi lifted his head revealing his sharingan. Faster than anything I had seen before senshi unleashed a barrage of Kuni towards me, so swift I couldn't even see his hands move. Right, left, down, up, I barely capable of deflecting the Kuni as they shot towards me like bullets, each one getting closer and closer to hitting their mark until suddenly. A Kuni struck the hilt of my sword taking it clean out of my hands, and as the next Kuni threatened to sink into my skull, it happened again. A surge of chakra raced through my body forcing itself into my eyes, and the world around me was once more tinted purple as everything slowed to a crawl, everything except for myself. While still mobile I was significantly slower, it felt as if I could move at maybe half my maximum possible speed, yet the Kuni hardly moved at all. Taking advantage of this I ducked under the first Kuni and turned to the right as I stood up, allowing the next to pass by me. Spinning around I slipped by the next two kuni before leaping over the fifth and sliding under the sixth as I landed. Standing up the world returned to normal as the Kuni sank into the wall of the armory behind me, snapping my head towards senshi a felt another surge of chakra. Senshi dove to the right the instant my gaze fell back upon him, narrowly avoiding being caught in the large purple orb that attempted to form around him. Instinctively I would continue to follow senshi with my eyes, forcing the surge of chakra and odd sensation behind my eyes over and over, each time forming a purple orb around the space senshi stood. Yet each time senshi would dart away from his position a second before the orb formed around him. Time and time again I would attempt to catch senshi in these orbs, only for him to slip and dive out of the way at the last second. Finally as senshi leapt up from a roll I caught him mid air in one of the orb. It took less then a second for the orb to form around senshi and now just like the Kuni, senshi as well as everything else inside the orb had slowed down to a snails pace. With a smile on my face I was unsure of what was happening or how I was doing it, in the moment I was operating off of feelings and instinct. However as I watched senshi slowly poof away into smoke, I knew they had failed me. Before I could react I felt senshi's chakra come up behind me, sweeping my legs and pulling me down onto my back, placing the tip of a Kuni against my throat before I could recover. "Ahhh, there they are, just like I had expected." Senshi said this as he stood over me looking down into my eyes, his own eyes still glowing red from his sharingan, yet the red light clashed with another purple tinted light alongside the faint purple tint everything seemed to have. "What the hell are you talking about!?" I nearly shouted this at senshi and he removed his Kuni and stood up, helping me off the ground. "This is what I'm talking about." Senshi answered my while producing a small mirror and showing me my own reflection, which was quite startling as my eyes had changed. The white iris of my eyes was gone replaced by a deep swirling purple color, my pupils were also gone. Replace by the hands of a clock that aligned with the slashes representing the proper time of night as a clock would. "Wh-whats going on, what happened to my eyes?" I asked this question now becoming more confused then angry, as I stared at my eyes in the mirrors. "In short, you my friend have managed to develop a dojutsu. One that seems to manipulate space and time, I first noticed it back on the mountaintop but you didn't. I had my suspensions and theories but I wanted concrete answers, so I had to put you in a situation where it would be forced to develop. I would ask where something like this came from, especially since someone like you developed it. However knowing you I can bet money on it that you don't have the faintest idea." the end of senshi's explanation did irritate me a bit, yet he was right, I had absolutely no idea how I could have developed a dojutsu or even who I could have inherited it from. "So all of this, the set ups, and this attack. It was all just to get my eyes to turn on?" I asked this question slightly concerned with senshi's way of thinking. "More or less, give or take a few details. You still want to be a Shinobi I know you do, and this is the way. Your going to train with me and we are going to push your dojutsu to it's limit and discover what it's capable of, if we do that then there's no way tsunade would turn you away as a Shinobi." Senshi spoke with a hint of excitement in his voice as a smile crept across his face. "So that's it, your plan is to make me a Shinobi?" I asked this hoping to gain any extra information on what senshi's true plan was. "It's a part of the plan, I'll explain the rest to you at a later date, but for now. Go home and get some sleep, our training is going to be late at night so your going to need all the rest you can get, and don't go showing off those eyes of yours. We want that to stay a secret until the time is right." With that said from senshi I would leave the Uchiha compound, making my way back home.
