Six Minutes to Midnight

Ren would step into the training facility with the large Uchiha Gunbai upon his back and Singing Tempest on his hip, now that he was its owner it was only natural that he tested out its capabilities. Ensuring that he had a private room to train in so that he wouldn't be disturbed, Ren would enter the training room and take a look around at the setting. A slightly forested room, though nothing compared to the forest that surrounded Konohagakure, it was perfect for what he was planning. Before doing anything however he wanted to get accustomed to the Gunbai and the best way he knew to do that was in combat, but since he didn't trust anyone to spare against while he was learning to wield it he only had one option. Focusing his chakra Ren split himself in two, creating a doppelganger of himself through the fission technique. One of the Ren's held the Gunbai on his back, while the other held Singing Tempest. Though he knew that the blade no longer called him it's master, he could still wield it enough for what he wanted to test.

Ren would grip the handle of the Gunbai pulling it from his back, he knew the stories of the Gunbai from when he was a child. To be honest, he had always thought they were just fairy tales. That was until he grabbed it that first time, in that moment he felt the power of the Gunbai, the power of the spirit tree it was made of. The other Ren would unsheathe Singing Tempest, the blade the former Hokage had given him, the sound it created only giving credit to the blades name. The other Ren would run forwards, charging straight at Ren with the hope of striking him with the blade. As soon as the other Ren would go to strike, Ren would move and block with the Gunbai and just as the blade made contact with the Gunbai the other Ren was shot flying backwards a smile forming on Ren's face. This would continue over the next several hours with Ren blocking each attack the other Ren threw at him, other than it's defensive capability Ren also discovered that he could use different techniques depending on how he waved the Gunbai. The only downside was the drain to his chakra when defending, but once he had a handle on the Gunbai it didn't bother him as much. Recalling his fission clone, Ren would merge back together as he replaced the Gunbai on his back. There was still more that he wanted to see and he would need his others chakra to do it, it was now for the real tests to begin.

Ren would focus his sight on a nearby tree, it was as good a choice as anything in this place for what he had planned next. It wasn't until recently that Ren discovered that he had this power, but after some research he discovered what it was. He had reached a new height, even among the Uchiha it's ability was rare. It was called the Mangekyou Sharingan and unlike the normal Sharingan each was unique to the one that wielded it, his own held power like he had never seen before. His focus still on the tree, Ren would briefly close his eyes before opening the left eye. Gone was the three tomoe Sharingan, replaced now with a different design as a meter sized barrier formed on the tree. Seconds later there was a meter sized hole in the tree, Ren would do this three more time before he was satisfied. Though he was disappointed in the size of this technique, it was something that could prove useful. He felt the strain the technique put on his eye, he would have liked to train with it more but he couldn't risk it until he figured out why using it made his eye hurt.

Of course, that was not the only new power he had either. His right eye held a power of its own, something that Ren knew would be more than useful. The first time it has activated it had actually scared him, he found himself in an endless void but then discovered that he could return by focusing so now he just had to do it again. Opening his right eye to reveal the same strange design as his left, Ren would briefly disappear from where he was standing before reappearing in the same spot a few seconds later. He wanted to try and see if maybe there was a way he could use it to move about the battlefield, but after a few tries of trying to return a few feet away from where he was and failing he decided to try something else. Gripping the handle of the Gunbai, Ren would focus his chakra and then the Gunbai would disappear. Focusing his chakra he would bring it back right in his hand ready to be used, a smile growing on his face. He would perform the technique again sending the Gunbai back to the Kamui realm before running across the field and the summoning it to his hand, happy to see that it was not limited like he was. Sending the Gunbai back to the Kamui realm once more Ren would grip the handle of Singing Tempest and do the same to the blade, suddenly wondering if he could do the same to a living creature. It was something he would have to test later, but now his right eye was hurting moreso than his left, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea to try it anymore.

Ren would push through the discomfort of his eyes as there was still one more technique that his new found power had granted him. He had only read about it before, but now he was ready to actually attempt it for himself. Taking in a deep breath Ren would activate Susannoo as he attempted to create the large avatar around him but only a rib cage would appear. He tried it several more times, finally on the fourth try he would get an arm to appear with the rib cage, but after the sixth time he would cough and a spot of blood came up on the corner of his mouth. The pain in his eyes was greater than before, but now his body was aching as well. Ren suddenly realized that despite the power that they granted, it came at a cost and he wasn't sure just yet if they were worth it. He was going to have to look into them more, try to find out what he could, but for now he knew he needed rest. If he tried to continue pushing himself it was likely to kill him, and he couldn't have that.
