Tesuto walked forward, keeping his stature as he stood by the gate. But he suddenly popped his blade ever so slightly from its sheathe, as a warning. "How do I know you are the real ninja...?" "Really Red? You are doing this?!" "Two weeks ago a man identical of that to the Phoenix entered this dojo. I must be for certain this is Ninja...." [i]"Sounds like unnecessary tension to me..."[/i]

"It's alright. I can prove it's me." [b]Ninja closes his eyes, and begins focusing. Moments later, embers begin to spark around his hand, and fire begins climbing up his arm, as a sword made of flames begins to form in front of him, leaving singe-marks on his hand. Upon opening his eyes, however, something seemed off. His expression was different, having a crazed look about it, appearing almost as if he had snapped completely. This was not a normal effect of the ability. As the flames dispersed, however, he had returned to normal. [/b]
