Ryuga strengths lie in his strategical way of fighting, which he has inherited from his Yoruma bloodline. He uses his intelligence to make a multitude of strategies and applies the most appropriate one which will result in the most possible damage to his opponents (whether it be torture or physical damage). As a member of a team, he is usually the one who takes the responsibility of attack his opponents effectively, whether it be from the shadows like his ancestors assassin-like battle style, or head on like a bull. Almost always will he attack an opponent alone at close range, with his best opening being when their attention is diverted elsewhere. He mixes basic ninjutsu with his weaponry to create an opening to paralyze the opponent, allowing either himself, or rarely his teammates, to deliver the finishing blow.

His katana nicknamed Kira (Death), is his weapon of choice. His fighting style while using his katana uses a lot of acrobacy and spinning motion to get momentum, and because of his unusual movement style his strikes aren't as easily predictable as ordinary ninja's attacks are. As much as possible, he likes to finish his battles quickly, using lethal stabs, slashes and basic killing moves, but he does have skills that he uses for leaving his opponents alive. Ryuga also has common sense of the anatomy of the human body, knowing where to slash or stab to kill immediately and which spots will leave the target marked for death, allowing him to toy with his opponents.

Ryuga also uses ninjutsu, mostly katon (fire) and suiton (water) style techniques, when he does not have his katana at his disposal. He is also average in taijutsu, not to the point where he can do advanced moves such as Dynamic Entry and Leaf Hurricane, but good enough to the point where he can put up a pretty good hand-to-hand fight, and he has basic knowledge of genjutsu, often relying on his own raw intelligence to see through it, but he is not adept at using it for himself, rather using distracting tactics than actual illusion to occupy the enemy.

Ryuga was born into the Yoruma clan, a clan made up of assassins from the remains of the Second and Third Great Wars. Infamous for their fierce fighting style and cruel natures, they are feared by many who come into contact with them, and because of this they tend to stay hidden within the shadows. Ryuga's father was a member of the elite Anbu Black Ops working right under the Hokage and his mother was an assassin for hire. After Ryuga was born, however, they settled down in Konoha.

As a child, Ryuga lived a happy life with his family in Konoha. He had many friends and he was a kind and caring kid. His parents to were happy with their new lives and went on living natural lives until one day when Ryuga was seven years old. After a day of playing with his friend at the park, Ryuga came home to find his home in shambles. He heard some loud banging and hid in a storage closet under the stairs leading to the second floor. He heard his parents yelling and fighting against someone whom he did not know: an intruder. After a long struggle his parents were left bitterly defeated and had some of their most valuble items stolen from them. Ryuga came out of hiding after he knew the intruder was gone, but it was too late for his parents. While on their death beds, they said their goodbyes to Ryuga and his father gave him his most prized possession and good luck charm: a chain skull necklace. After a little while, his parents finally passed away. Ryuga went to live with his uncle, an assassin for hire like his mother once was, and was trained in the ways of his clan. He had his clan's symbol tattooed onto the back of his right wrist and he eventually received a katana from his uncle once he passed his uncle's training.

During the time that Ryuga spent with his uncle, he slowly started to erode into a heartless and cruel being. He became sadistic and bestowed a love for torturing and killing creatures and humans. He even became an expert on the anatomy of the human body so that he could have as much fun as he wanted when torturing and killing other humans. He also spent the nights alone in his room, crying himself to sleep. He blamed himself for the death of his parents. He understood, however, that it happened and that he had to live with it. He stopped his mourning and closed off his happy, caring self.

At the age of 12, Ryuga started training at the academy. After 5 years of living with his uncle , Ryuga had eroded into a death machine. Fellow villagers granted him the nickname Shinigami (God of Death) because of the icy feeling of death that they get in his presence. Many people took a disliking towards him because of his sadistic and indifferent attitude, but he didn't care. All he cared about was graduating and continuing his training under his uncle. Ryuga was at the top of his class and got the best grades in all of his subjects except teamwork, something that he lacked greatly. He also studied his clan's techniques and had his uncle teach the most basic ones to him before his graduation.

It is at the academy that Ryuga also experienced his first lust for blood. Because of his parents death and because he blamed himself for it, he became overwhelmed with anxiety and also became sleep deprived, sometimes going as many at four days without sleep at a time. During one of these incidences, Ryuga was being bullied by a group of kids in his class. This bothered him greatly because it was stopping him form doing his best, something that he promised his uncle that he would do. One day after school, Ryuga followed the group to a back alley and slaughtered them with his katana. This excited him, and he slept peacefully when he arrived home. He never felt any remorse for this brutal crime, nor was he ever caught. When Ryuga turned 15, he graduated from the academy at the top of his class, continued his training under his uncle, and became a genin. Ryuga also made it his own personal goal to find the person who killed his parents, following the clues that the intruder left very carefully.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! A blonde haired boy jumped out of bed, a little frightened by the loud noise that his alarm clock had made. It read 6:30. 'Time to get ready for school.' He thought to himself before getting up to get a shower. The boy's name was Naruto Uzumaki and today was going to be his first day at Konoha High School, one of the best schools in all of Japan. Naruto had moved to Konoha City from Ota, Tokyo, where he attended Tokyo High School before the death of his father Minato. After Minato's untimely death, Naurto moved to Konoha City to live with his god-father Jiriya. After Naurto got out of the shower, he threw on a white-T-shirt, baggy blue jeans, black sneakers, and a black and orange jacket. He turned to walk out of the room when he remembered something. He turned around and walked over to the nightstand next to his bed. There was a blue crystal necklace sitting on the edge of the stand. He picked it up, studied it, and started to cry a little. "You remembering your father?" Someone asked. Naruto turned around, wiping the tears away from his face. Jiriya was standing at the doorway leading from the hallway to Naurto's bedroom.

"Yeah." Naurto replied as he threw on the necklace. Jiriya walked into the room and told Naruto to sit next to him on the bed.

"Now Naruto," Jiriya looked a little sad and a little irritated at the same time. "I know what your going through, but you shouldn't cry over Minato's death. He would want it that way."

"I know. It's just really really hard, knowing that Father was killed the way he was." Naruto whipped tears away from his face again. "I will do my best to keep my emotions in check though."

"That's my boy." Jiriya said as he patted Naruto on the back. "Have a good first day of school." Jiriya exited the room, leaving Naruto weeping a little bit. Naruto gazed over at his alarm clock; 7:13. 'Crap! I got to catch the bus in five minutes!' Naruto dived to the edge of his bed and grabbed his school bag and ran out the front door.

Naruto walked onto the bus, looking over the seats towards the back. He found a seat in the very back of the bus, where he could see rats and a little bit of mold growing on the side of the seat. He was used to these types of conditions though. After Minato's death, he was treated like crap and was secluded from everyone and was always given shitty conditions. That all ended when he moved in with Jiriya though. After a few minutes of driving, the bus came to another stop. Naruto eyed the people getting onto the bus; and old man, a finely dressed couple, and a girl with long dark blue hair. Naurto gasped, she was one of the prettiest girls that he had ever seen in his life. He watched as she made her way to the seat next to him. The girl was fine with the crappy conditions. Why would someone as pretty as her sit in the back of a rutty old bus, next to him of all people? Naruto must have been staring at her for sometime because when he came back to his senses, the girl was staring back at him, open mouthed and beat red. "My apologies." He said, taking his eyes off of the girl and turned to look out the window, blushing a little bit. For the rest of the bus ride, Naurto kept taking quick glances at the girl next to him, who had her hands on her legs and looking down at the floor. She was still blushing brightly. Naurto felt like such a creeper. The bus took one final stop at the entrance of Konoha High School. Naruto and the girl who he had stared at were the only two people to get off of the bus before it took off down the road and rounded a corner. 'This place looks preppy.' Naruto thought as he studied the neatly mowed grass and the students. He looked over at the girl that he had saw on the bus. She was running over to two girls, one with short pink hair and the other with long blonde hair tied up into a ponytail. 'I really hope that I see that girl again.' He thought before walking into the huge school ahead of him.

After walking for a few minutes, he found the main office. There were two ladies sitting at a large desk towards the back of the room and three boys sitting in chairs lined up against a big window that showed activity from the entrance hall; one of the boys had red claw marks on both of his cheeks, another had black hair tied up into a weird ponytail, and the last one was morbidly obese and eating a big pack of potato chips.

"Excuse me," Naruto asked one of the ladies at the back desk. The lady looked up, eying him a little suspiciously. "My name is Naurto Uzumaki and this is going to be my first year at Konoha High School."

"Oh yes, you're the Uzumaki kid." She said irritated. She shuffled through some papers on the already cluttered desk and after a moment she pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Naurto. "This is your class schedule. We are going to have Inuzuka, Kiba show your around. Kiba!" The four boys in the room jumped. The boy that they called Kiba walked over to Naruto and the lady, smirking. "You are going to show Mar. Uzumaki here around the school and show him his classes and so fourth. Think of this as a way to get out of that detention that you almost earned yourself for removing the nails from Mrs. Tsunade's chair."

"Yes, Ma'am." Kiba said. He looked over at Naurto and stuck out his hand, smiling welcomingly. "Hello. My name's Inuzuka, Kiba."

"My name's Uzumaki, Naruto." Naurto replied as he took Kiba's hand. He was shocked that someone other than Jiriya was being nice to him after so long.

"Come one, lets get going." Kiba said as he waved his hand, guiding Naurto to follow him. Naruto was finally happy that he found someone who was willing to be kind to him after so long.

The movements are of a spinning fashion, utilising dance-like acrobacy, such as flips, jumps, rolls to inflict highly damaging cuts.

Rather than focus on a single strike, the movement of the weapon and the user is fluid; the user advances towards their target, lashing out repeatedly and unceasingly, as if in some intricate dance. With each consecutive slash the user and his weapon gain momentum and consequently, this causes the power of the slashes to increase. Once the user finds an opening, a finishing thrust will be performed to end the dance and accumulate all that momentum and power into a single attack. There is a substantial increase in the strength and speed of the slash, as the Rank of this Jutsu increases. At A Rank, elemental chakra can be conducted through the weapon to increase the damage dealt. The speed and strength of the Jutsu increases with each post.
Chakra Cost: 4 + 1 CP per post (C Rank); 6 + 2 CP per post (B Rank); 10 + 3 CP per post (A Rank)
