The boardwalk creaked which each step taken by the fifteen year old boy. Just like any other day in the Hidden Hurricane, the winds ravaged the various sea vessels as well as the sea itself. Waves washed against the shoreline and the sky was fairly dark; today was definitely a good day in Shippuugakure.
Jinsei Kagani, novice shinobi, loner, and "the weird one", unrolled the mission scroll in his grasp. Reading over the various kanji and handwriting he spoke the details allowed in a completely monotone voice.
"I can't believe they sent me out to make kids happy...this is a drag." Now a normal person would say this while releasing an exasperated sigh or at least through the use of a bored tone, however Jin did neither. His face remained blank, his breathing was constant, and one of his hands was constantly placed atop the hilt of his blade as if danger lurked around every corner. The bored yet not bored God of Swords arrived at the scene of his duty: the center of town in which a small ring of children was placed with anticipation clearly displayed on their faces.
Although Jin understood how the average human being's mind worked he never experienced, or witnessed at all for that matter, the life of the everyday child. He was born in a forested village secluded in the mountains, in a clan full of battle-hardened warriors. Trained in the art of the sword through life-or-death situations from the age of three onward, Jinsei never really had the privilege to have "fun". That's exactly why the children stared at him with disappointment in their eyes, for the almost lifeless shinobi simply did there with a hand raised in welcome.
"Hello..." His face remained blank and expressionless as the children sat there pouting, urging for any signs of strange jutsus. And just before the parents came in to complain, the God of Swords was struck with an idea. With his hand gripping one of the two blades Jinsei closed his eyes.
"Hachitoryuu." A small but still fairly large puff of white smoke released from the two blades strapped two his waist.
As the children stared wide-eyed and jumpy in excitement at the mass of white, eight small tantos shot up through the smoke and into the air. A small piece of blue would then fly out after the blades shortly after, snatching each and every one up while still midair. Landing an almost perfect ten, Jinsei stood before the children with eight swords placed all over his body. Not a single one was in his hands but instead littered throughout the various creases in his body as he resumed a crane style position. One child who was already jumping up and down excitedly exclaimed,
"THAT WAS AMAZING!!!" With his poker face still on the shinobi/swordsman responded. "
Thank you." Jinsei would then precede to juggle the group of small blades around, and the entire mass of children crowded around while their parents attempted to bring them back, well at least it was ALMOST the entirety of them. With one of his ice-blue eyes the juggler spotted a straggler in the crowd, a small boy no older than 4 whom was crying in the back, all alone and separated from the rest. For the grand finale, Jinsei made several motions to send the tantos into the air. There were some kicks, some throws, and even a spit from the mouth, and once all the blades were in the air they'd disappear in a myriad of white, puffy smoke. Whilst the children all danced around the smoke, Jin approached the weeping boy.
The blue-haired teen looked down at the boy with a still serious expression. The child looked back up at him and cried his eyes out. Jinsei turned his body without a word and looked over at the sea which was only several meters away from them. Making a strange motion with one hand, the boy fired a glob of water from his fingertips, straight towards the air. He then preceded to put one hand over the other while closing his eyes. Shortly after he made a slicing motion through the air and a blast of wind surged forth from it. Before one made contact with the other, Jinsei tapped on the boy's shoulder. The crying mess of a youth looked over at the sea and a smile spread across his face as he danced. After Jinsei's oxygen absorbing slice made contact with the water gun technique, both exploded in a show of sparkly mist and ice which dropped down from the sky into the water below. It was literally raining icicles and sparkles.
After being paid the sum he was promised (by the children's parents of course), Jinsei simply walked away from the group of children as they all waved him goodbye. He did not look back.

Name: Water Release: Mizu Jū [Water Gun]
Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary
Element: Water
Range: 5 Meters
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 1 Post
Description: After making a gun-figure with one hand, the user focuses chakra on the tips of their index and middle fingers. Said person then launches out a small glob of water (no bigger than a golf ball) which travels in the aimed direction at 10m/s. On contact it simply acts like a regular splash of water and does nothing more than simply making things wet.

Canon/Custom: Custom
Rank: D-Rank
Type: Offensive
Element: Wind
Range: 10 Meters
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Instant
Cooldown: 2 Posts
Description: Dog Hand Seal; The user focuses Chakra on the side of their hand. Said person then makes a slicing motion through the air, and nature transforms the wind into a blast. The blast itself looks like a "slice", and is in the shape of a crescent moon, 2ft in height and 7ft in length. Traveling at a speed of 10m/s, it acts like a large projectile blade. It can cut straight through wood, but will only cut as deep as 10 inches through anything made of rock or stronger. Against a human being it would be able to cut down about 3 inches into the flesh. Furthermore, wherever the blast travels the oxygen within a 2ft radius will disperse for about a minute, which is what gives this technique it's name.

Description: Channeling chakra through one's blade(s), a member of the Kagami Clan can transform it into a shadow clone of another blade entirely. This coincides with the Clan's Bloodline Ability which allows them to master any sword style with ease, however there are several weaknesses. Firstly, at this weak of a level, the blade cannot cut through muscle and is visibly dull. Secondly, blades of the Seven Swordsmen cannot be imitated. Thirdly, if said user already has more than one blade, that blade(s) too will be used as a part of the clone. Finally, Special Abilities of blades cannot be copied. At this rank, a single C-Rank attack can destroy the shadow clone. When the duration/durability wears off, the blade(s) will disappear in a poof of white smoke, leaving behind the original weapon(s).
