abstract | - Life had finally resumed its normal routine for the man known as the Dark Slayer, rather as close to normal as his life could be. It had been days since Raido returned from his six months pilgrimage to deal with the three trails, these series of test had his confidence high, believing he could conquer all. However there was something Amiss when he returned home, something that not even he with all his wisdom and power was ready to digest. Raido stood defeated, and in mourning that his favorite shop which sold his breakfast sandwiches had relocated, and were no longer serving the Land of Mountain. The loss hit Raido's heart in a way no weapon could, and as he walked he dragged his feet lamenting he could stop them. I leave home for six months, and I com,e back ready to sink my teeth into a Yamagakure style- Omulette peak sandwich only to find out the business MOVED!!!! Raido said yelling in his thoughts, outwardly maintaing his usual half smile. This was an outrage, a travesty a damn shame and I intend to fix it. Raido said as his inner self regained its cooler than ice composure. All that was needed was finding where they went. A quite place to think to sense their dukkha since distance was factor here. Raido would head up to the too of the mountain, which had played a huge role in his life. At the zenith of this vast mountain , stood a clear path with flat ground and open space. A nostalgic feeling hit Raido as this mountain top witnessed Raido go from a boy, to a young man to a man. He would seek to do the same yet again. Right thrust, left thrust, round house kicks and running high kicks with movement with her feet never touching each other as she demonstrate`s the normal fighting style of karate on this clear grassy but rock plain she turned into her training field. Keeping her feet apart in all her stances. The knees are bent very slightly. There are no stances where weight rests on a leg with a completely straight knee. Yumi is seen with black long hair trailing down her back with highlights coloring white. Her facial expression was usually neutral. Yumi wore a black cloak unzipped over a black short sleeve shirt with purple stockings and high heels, as well as a mid section guard similar to that of Samurai with a sand villages headband. She has yet to respond to Raido`s arrival to the mountain but her taijutsu training has yet to end. Raido was surprised that someone else thought to come up here for training and capacity for growth. Then again he shouldn't after all this mountain was very tranquil, and secluded away from the bustling villagers in Yamagakure. Raido noticed the young women was practicing her taijutsu which seemed to have certain fluidity to it. I can see where this going Raido, are you seriously about to track down the owners of this bazaar, just to make them return back to the Hidden Mountain Village. Yama said in a tone that was rather disappointed but not surprised. Yama had remained silent for most of the venture home, however as soon as Raido returned to his natural foolishness Yama was the first to speak out on it. Being connected to Raido soul he learned that while the man was learning and growing, he was still Raido. Raido ignored Yama and actually walked up to the young women, who was much shorter than a man of Raido stature. "Well your certainly doing a good job of fighting the air in front of you, it never stood a chance" Raido said chuckling a bit, maintaining his distance. Raido was known for his humor, it was almost as if he possessed an innate ability to seek out jokes and create them on the fly regardless of the severity of a situation. Yumi Sake thrusting an open palm forward one last time before hearing a masculine voice of a tall specimen walking toward her before stopping yards away. She would turn her head half way to see him when breaking away from her stance to smile while rubbing the back of her head. "Hmpf, Well I didn`t think anyone would find me....actually I'm visiting these mountains from Sunagakure...the names Yumi and you are?" Asking. "Technically no one would I come here often to take a load off, train, think. you name it ive done it up here. Raido said smoothly. I have many names so it honestly depends on what you hear, to some I am the Dark Slayer, others the dancing fighter, but I am just Raido X you neighborhood friendly Uchiha". Raido said giving off his usual carefree answer. Raido had somewhat severed his ties of the uchiha clan and their blood stained past, both in name and reference.His true feelings for his clan were widely unknown as he neither hated nor loved his clan. He just didnt embrace it, especially since he freed himself from the curse that binds all Uchiha.. The Sharingan. "Quite a journey you took, and some marital arts to boot, what styles are you familiar with". Raido asked to quickly skip any questions about Uchiha. Yumi bringing her hands back in front of her, locking fingers as she stood in black heels. As he spoke she noticed the uchiha symbol on his jacket giving away his clan seconds before he said it and at that same time of saying it, she says it. "Well its very nice to meet you. It's actually more common now to meet an Uchiha..." Chuckling a bit. "or maybe it's just me." He went on to ask her about martial arts which was a fun topic for her, "Well I'm a traveler but I usually travel alone visiting different villages and Towns. Although I have come across some dojo`s I only found interest in mastering karate. What about yourself? Someone of your stature must have some kind of taijutsu fighting style learned." Finishing as cool winds breezes through. "As a matter fact I do, its a rare breed of martial arts one that incorporates the motions of others combined. I am a master of the Capoeira arts". Raido X said proudly unfolding his arms. "Sad to say that due to my master dying there are only two users of my fighting style so it is not a well known style, but once you see it, you never forget it". Raido X said as remembered the countless expressions of his enemies when he unleashed his rare taijutsu. "Once you see it, you`ll never forget it...hmpf." Thinking back on what was said about Capoeira, Yumi sighs while moving strains of hair from her face. "Yes I believe I`ve heard of its unique style of dancing quite actually but i never met anyone you knew it so it's safe to say that I'm honored. How Interesting...I would like fot you to train with me.... Do you have business elsewhere?" Yumi asking as she almost second guest her offer knowing his intimidating physical appearance. Sometimes she just can't help what she says. As a master of karate or a master in general, it's only natural to wonder which is more efficient. How bad could it be when having a friendly spar? The quick breeze swept the dust across the rough terrain as the rays of the sun pierces through the clouds. "...it seems the wind is picking up in these mountains wouldn't you say? Even the clouds are beginning to thicken, it may rain." Looking up at the clouded sky for just a moment. "Me?, with business thast laughable, Im on a extended vacation for the moment, and even if I wasn't I always find time to dance with a new partner". Raido X said as he placed his trademark Blade Yourkaze into the ground, the sheath of the blade digging in deep within the mountains surface. "Don't know what you heard about this style but I promise it will be nothing like what you have ever seen before. Raido X said holding up three fingers. "Capoeira comes in three forms, and your talking to the man who learned all three, and can switch it up on a coin and give you change". Raido X said as he performed the signature Ginga, the swaying movement of the capoeira which kept his body in motion making predicating his strikes or direction near impossible to guess. "Ill teach and show you all three just so you have a clear idea of the difference that goes into each one. That being said class is now in session, May I have this dance". Raido X said with his usual indifferent smile on his face. Raido lived for a good time, and finally found it after six months of nothing but trials and spirits associating to him. Yumi watching Raido`s ginga demonstration for a moment before she began demonstrating her own learned form of balancing used to create power, flexibility and movement. Each stance focus on mobility or stability. Lastly, stopping to position herself with both feet together stance. A form of kata describing detailed patterns of movements practiced that will later be demonstrated. "Alright master of this "mysterious" Capoeira art of fighting. Ready when you are..." Inhaling and then exhaling as she prepares herself for what may be the biggest taijutsu challenge yet. Raido X was master of three aspects of Capoeira, and in learning those he gathered elements from other styles, deducing what he stance meant not just from a physical standpoint, but a mental one. With each saw from left to right Raido the tactical fighter he was, read her face and stance as if her picture produced words. Her stance is one of experience, showing a strong foundation and willingness to allow me to attack first so she can defend and counter, and gain a understanding my preference. Her stance represents one of confidence, and ability to hold her own despite the lack of experience she has in checking out my style. Raido X said to himself as he finally surmised how he would play it. A contemporary style calls for a fake out, and capoeira fighters were known for their infamous ability to use feints and fakes to get one to mover swiftly in the wrong direction. As Raido quickly sawyed to his left he immeditely performed a cartwheel using no hands gracefully landing on his feet to his left and pivoted his foot turning it to the left, and throwing a left hook using the torque in his body to give it the speed and momentum he needed to progress quickly as his fist cut through the air, looking to make contact with the young women beauty face, but not to hard. This blatant attack was meant to make Yumi react quickly to defend or protect, something Raido was banking on, as the elements of his style allowed for amazing quickness in transition which would pay off in his favor should yumi be too focused on the move she did seem rather than the one she couldn't. With this Raido was going to show her how capoeira can be effective.
