The patrol guard made a sound of boredom as Shinamaru concealed himself within the stone that the guard walked upon using a technique called ‘Stone Wall Jutsu’. Studying this guard for hours it was time to make his move. When he was least ready for a attack. As the guard turned around he looked behind him on the trail to make sure there was no one following him. Muttering just one word Shinamaru released his jutsu and moved out of the ground slowly not to make a sound. The guard was already pressing forward as Shinamaru moved closer. Flicking his thumb on the katana hilt in his right hand he released it from its sheath. Pulling it free with the left hand the guard turned around. The sparkle of life within his eyes disappeared as Shinamaru pushed the sword though his gut and out his spine. The guard leaned forward to keep standing by trying to put his weight on Shinamaru. “I release you from this world of pain. Go on with yourself and go though the gates of death.” Shinamaru said as he tilted the katana so the man would fall off it. Then slashing the katana though the air he splashed the blood on the ground from his victim. The katana placed on his back he then stood up straight, within a few seconds he moved his hands though a number of hand signals and ended with a touch to the corpses head. The body seemed to vanish with the hint of fire, Shinamaru looked around just as two guards rushed in to view. “PUT YOUR WEAPONS DOWN AND LAY ON THE GROUND!” One guard yelled but Shinamaru didn’t listen to his man for he had his own idea’s. Moving his left foot forward and his fight foot back he hunched himself. Pulling his katana from his back and holding the sheath with his right hand. Pulling the katana free he noticed the second guard placing a arrow within his bow. The elf guard spoke a dialect in which he did not understand and the arrow was released. A bright blue arrow moved though yards in seconds but Shinamaru was yet to fast for this arrow to strike its target. Having seemed to vanish from sight his new position was known within seconds when his katana sliced straight though the bow and the wielder cleaving the guard in half. Then pivoting on the balls of his feet with his back to the first guard he then moved his katana backwards under his arm stabbing the katana deep within the mans gut. The man moved his mouth but all that came out was blood. Slashing the blood off his sword he then placed it on his back and moved onward.

The smell of blood and death was intoxicating as the young man made his way through the Palace entrance and towards the Northen Towers. Something told him that this wasn’t normal, since one shouldn’t smell THIS much blood within the palace walls, that is unless something bad happen. Walking through the grounds of the Palace he would stumble on what caused the smell. The mangle bodies of guards laid everywhere, they where all dead and there was no sign of the one who did this repulsive act. Flies haven’t took to the bodies of the dead yet, which meant the killing didn’t happen to long ago, so the intruder was around him somewhere, but where?

His right hand carelessly glided across the stone wall where the first guard laid dead at. A smirk caress across his face as he picked up a unique energy signature. That didn’t belong to anyone within the palace at least he didn’t think so. But how was he able to detect something like that so easily? It’s a technique called “Detect” like a finger print everyone has a unique energy signature that they leave behind without any notice of it. And like a finger print one could trace it back to it’s owner. And thus this was the case with Sean’s unique ability.

Now that he got a sample of energy he would follow it to it’s source like a bloodhound, and that is exactly what he was going to do. Touching the hilt of Midnight gently he began to move through the palace insert of the killer who did this. Normally he didn’t help out royalty but since he was somewhat friends with Lazuli it was the least he could do.

Taking a deep inhaul of the air around him he then pushed all the air out. Moving his hands fast he then slowly pulled together some chakra then released it in to its final form. The clouds seemed to release rain after Shinamaru spoke out. “Rain manipulation no Jutsu.” he said as the rain started coming down. Opening his eyes after he closed them he opened his sharingan. Feeling each rain drop hitting the ground he could tell what was moving and what wasn’t moving. He would soon know if someone was tracking him or his next target. Only time would tell as he placed himself within a hiding spot. The rain was built up with his chakra so the person tracking him would have a hard time narrowing down his target.

Continuing on the trail of energy, he followed it deeper towards the Northern Tower. Suddenly he came to a complete stop as he looked upward towards the clouds, as it began to rain. That’s odd he thought to his self there was no sign of rain for today but like most things, weather is unpredictable. Slightly shrugging to himself, he continue to follow the trail that has now gotten stronger. The rain that was falling bent around this man’s form as if afraid to touch him, this wasn’t because of any special ability. It was because of the necklace around his neck, it creates barriers depending on the situation and without the user will. But if Sean needed to, he could force his will upon the necklace and use his energy to create the barriers, but it was simpler this way. Because he could fight while his necklace put up the barrier needed for the situation. But the necklace don’t stop there it can repel most attacks, unless it’s mental. And it can create barriers that had various effects that can be a simple stun to and explosion...the possiblities are unlimited.

“I know...don’t worry my friend you will get your chance.” he said, to himself as if he was talking to another person. But the truth to matter was that he was talking to Midnight his sentient blade, in a nut shell it was bored and wanted action. Just like a stubborn blade. He stop again and a smirk appear on his face, the one he seek was here. No sight his needed to track a person if they like to show off their energy signature. Now he just stands there...waiting to see who will show.

Placing his hands together it was simple now, the rain that hit the ground he could see all the guards he has yet to target. As well as the person waiting for him to come out and play. Moving his hands though the right seals as he lowered his head. Then completing the seals he placed his hand on his chest where he spoke out over the drops of the rain. “CHADORI BARRIER NO JUTSU!” A barrier erupted outward from his body and over the ground fast ripping apart anything within 2 feet around him. The barrier was invoked by the electrons around him that was enlaced with his chakra. Then moving his hands again soon after he then stopped and smirked as his Camouflage Jutsu wore out he was standing 12ft away from the new opponent. After completing his second jutsu he spoke out as he looked up to the mans eyes. “Water Prison Jutsu!” He said as he placed his hands in the air. All the water dropping on to the mans barrier would stop and simply act like a large water bubble. This would imprison the person within the barrier till he decided to come out of it. In which if he did decide to come out of the barrier he would be greeted by 5 tons of water pressure pushing down all around the barrier. Having let his water touch his barrier was this mans mistake…

Sean’s mind began to wonder as he waited for the man or rather killer to show his self, that if it was a he. He would probably fall out laughing if he found out it was a female. As minutes passed by, so did his mind it was slowly drifting out to a far away land that was rather peaceful and cause him to relax for the most part. But like all good things everything must come to an end and his came in the form of a violent explosion. Which snapped him out of his little fun land. Any debris that manage to hit the barrier that was around him would bounce off as if hitting rubber. So this was the man responsible for during the killing, eh? He thought to his self as it seemed like he was in some kind of daze or something.

When the man shouted out his next attack, Sean felt the pressure that water droplets was putting on the barrier. So it seems that the man was controlling the water but Sean wonder how far did this person’s water control went. He must find out later but this wasn’t the time. Kneeling down he scoops up a hand full of dirt and made it into a compact ball(size of a snow ball) and held it within his right now. Now once when he was doing this did his eyes never left the opponent. “Name’s Sean of the Warlock Clan.” was all he said before three sharp spirals of earth shot upwards at the man; one on each side of him at a 45 degree angle and the other straight underneath. They were shot at such a close range that the window to dodge was very small, but of course there was other ways around this attack.

Meanwhile, the compact earth ball shook slightly.

(1 prep...)

His sharingan already open and acting on instinct his hands moved a seal from the chidori barrier to the bird. “Eject.” Was all he said as the spirals came close to his personal barrier. The earth would make impact to the barrier but would proceed no farther then that. The chidori barrier was made of many electrons that ejected any other electrons which in fact was any object held together in the known world. The spirals would fall the clumps down to the edge of his barrier as Shinamaru seemed to be floating now within his barrier he started to move his hands through seals as the man started prepping his attack. He watched him very closely. His sharingan allowed him to see seconds before a attack giving him more time to react. As his charka began to build he placed more chakra within his chadori barrier the ball around him as it appeared seemed to look like a transparent blue ball of pure energy waiting to be released as the ball grow with power so did the transparency the more energy he put within the ball the more he started to disappear within the blue sphere. "Shinamaru, hidden surviver of the Uchiha clan."

Shinamaru moved his hands out wide spreading them as far as they would go. Moving his hands back inward after collecting the chakra he needed. "This is my ultimate jutsu." He said as he moved his hands together and spoke. "Release." He spoke the command to release the flood of chakra he put in a seal he left by the tower guards. He burst in to a cloud of smoke disappearing to a spot in which he selected before the fight.
