[The Sorrow]

A little amazed about his opponent's lack of scientific knowledge concerning the laws of kinetic energy transfer and the fact that a steel skin didn't cover either eyes nor other body openings, Shinjiro also wondered how the water of a cancelled technique only aimed at the immediate area around Shinjiro himself could douse the opponent's flames.

As The Sorrow saw the incoming projectiles, he decided the best course of action was to simply stop them in their tracks. The water he had used earlier was still there, by now flowing through the ground beneath him. Just the way he needed it. Forming the necessary handseals, Shinjiro called out the name of a technique similar to the skill the host of the Ichibi could use.

"Suiton: Suitenhōfutsu."

Water started to raise from the ground and formed medium sized bubbles that lazily drifted around Shinjiro. With a flick of his hand the bubbles shot forward and trapped the projectiles, the pressure and chakra flowing through them effectively halting their journey as the water lessened the control Kasigiomi had over the metal to a certain degree as well. Shinjiro wasn't finished though. His hands flashed into the Tiger sign and were about to release a technique of Shinjiro's true speciality.

"Kokuangyo no Jutsu."

The Bringer of Darkness technique wrapped Kasigiomi's entire vision in black, rendering his sense of sight useless. While his other senses were still functioning, there was one thing he couldn't have been prepared for: that he could still see something. And it wasn't something you wanted to see if you had a frail psyche. Due to Shinjiro's mutated Sharingan he could see the spirits of the dead. And if he used it in combination with a sense manipulating Jutsu, he could call those spirits to target his opponent. Kasigiomi was now surrounded by countless spirits of fallen shinbobi, all of them moaning in pain and despair. There mere presence would be enough to deeply unsettle most men, but the true terror awaited those who dared to touch the spirits. For every direct touch would resort in a little of his life essence being drained. While the amount of energy drained per touch was actually quite low, the mere number of spirits made this technique indeed fearsome.
