Being Better

Raijin focused his attention to the person in front of him. Raijin was at the Society Training facility once again learning as much as he could. He didn't ask one of the Society members to help him train this time. He had his own crew now. They didn't have a place and a home yet, but Raijin was the one setting that up now. It was time of him and his crew to start making their own name in the underground world as criminals. Now he would have to take a new name instead of the one he was commonly known as in the bingo book.

No...to the newly formed Death Eaters. He was known as, "The Dark Lord." After gaining one of the most rare elements on the planet. He also had been imbued with the most evil dark spirit to ever roam this land. The Zero Tails.

It was a great evil entity sealed within him. After the battle of Blood Prison, he had been rewarded with it. However it also came with demented thoughts. Great power but he was plagued to the most evil things. The Zero tails didn't talk, but it communicated with feelings and telegraphic images. It showed him a number of things he could never forget.

He ignored the flashes of imagery coming from the Zero tails. It was time for training. Zhuge was there to aid him if needed. One of the first Death Eaters when they were fully recognized. "Ay my Lord. Let us proceed with training." He was right, at his current power, Raijin still needed to get much stronger. To fully master the Zero Tails and his Cursed One bloodline. And that demanded hard training.

Raijin made some handsigns and focused his chakra. A torrent of lightning began to build around the hands of the Cursed One as he projected it in front of him. Hands clenched forward there was a blast of lightning chakra cascading off of his hands. The speed was uncanny as it spread across from him like a cone. The air was frayed from the sheer amount of chakra being displayed at the moment.

Electromagnetic Murder. His control over the lightning chakra was beginning to show. Now it was time for him to learn another high level technique.

"You have progressed. In time you will have handle on the dark spirit inside you." Zhu noted.

Raijin nodded. The air was crisped with the power still thrumming in it. Now he he had to try his hand in practicing another jutsu.  The open area would prove useful for this particular technique. He had developed another deadly technique that required his opponent to remain stationary in a boxed area. This would make it incredibly difficult to escape. Especially if one were to be trapped with him in it.

Zhuge took a couple of steps backwards as he was prepared for what was to come. Bayushi put his hands together quickly and made a few handsigns yet again. There was a rumbling coming from the underground. It shook a large area in front of them, sending rocks crumbling as something began to take formation.

All of a sudden, there was crashing as the ground was interrupted by large pillar rising from the ground. Four different stone rock pillars rose simultaneously, covering a widespread area of twenty five meters. The pillars were impossible grand standing about thirty meters, intimidating as they radiated with large amount of lightning chakra. These pillars were formidable, though they weren't at their strongest construction.

"The next." Zhuge mentioned, and Raijin concentrated his chakra yet again. He began and completed another set of handsigns, this time improving on the already existing technique. The first technique would be a lure, to draw the opponent into thinking they have escaped the radius of the four stone pillar technique. Using the pillars already there, twelve more pillars burst from the ground. An enemy would not expect the distance to be covered so fast and so quickly.

These pillars weren't ordinary pillars. They would take an S-rank amount of strength in order to break. Which was impossible except for the most Elite of ninja. This would be perfect trap for his Dark World Convergence. Expending that much energy would only hasten death to all of those who stood against him in battle.

"I have progressed tremendously. The Underworld will be in our hands as the cash cow that they are. But we must maintain our discretion. Our success in blood prison has caused my name to be added in the bingo book."

The Dark Lord began to walk forward, straying towards one of the large pillars. He stopped just a meter before it, eyeing his own technique at work. The pillar was very big and thick, and Genin and Chuunin would probably fall prey to this technique. However Raijin could be considered Jounin level due to his training from Honiko and Nozomi.

His right arm transformed into large and scaly arm. The dark grey undertone was familiar to him, the reptilian scaled armor now appearing across his entire arm. It felt stronger as his blood pumped reserves into his strength. He pulled his arm back, and assumed the Arhat stance.

The Cursed One arched his right arm back. Cocking it into firing position, boosters began to form on the back of Raijins hands as they shot forward with blinding speed. The strength of the punch completely demolished the rock with a raging punch. Raijin jumped backwards, gaining some distance away from the crumbing rubble.

Zhuge was surprised at the power yielded from Raijin. The strength he displayed almost felt like the entire country could feel it the rumble of his power. Raijin stared at his hands, looking at it change back to normal. The Sixteen pillars returning to the earth, and the hum of electricity began to dissipate. He walked back across the yard to Zhuge. "My strength is on par with the greatest ninja of all time. But that matters not if we cannot take the artifacts for the Society."

He nodded not sure what to say. He hadn't expected such power from the Cursed One. The rumors were true. Though he didn't look it, he was responsible for the advancement of the army. Destroying the gates one after the other. He had much more to prove. Namely. They should be the ones to take and hold the Land of the Iron. If he managed to take a nation. It would show his strength to the Society.
