Raido X

"We're all in the same game; Just different levels. Dealing with the same hell just different devils."

- Raido X to Kaname Soga.

Raido X (ライド・Ｘ, Raido Ekusu) is a wandering shinobi from Yamagakure, who is a part of the Uchiha Clan. Despite holding the pride of his clan, Raido dropped his last name, and came to be known for who he is today. He is infamously known for his prowess, and the legendary dōjutsu he withholds. And together with Yama, his spirit guide, the two travel the world to uncover the secrets that are hidden from the world.

Background
Although Raido was suppose slated born in Yamagakure he instead was born in Konoha. He had a decent childhood, as his brother and parents shared a regular relationship among each other. However as fate would have it turn out due to the series of missions asked of them Raido parents were often gone and away, leaving Takenshi Uchiha to look after a young Raido and raise him mostly. Raido's relationship with his parents was abnormal, he often went to his brother more than he did his parents for guidance which strained the relationship between the two. In time things began to improve as his parent retired for their obligations as a shinobi, and spent more time training their kids and raising them. Sadly this would be short lived as they were called to arms when the Nine-Tails attacked the village, their bodies were enver found and nonetheless were mentions as KIA/MIA in the wake of the disaster. From their Takenshi became the sole guardian of the Raido and assisted in his upbringing. As time elapsed he undertook missions and made a small name for himself due to his success on missions, until an uprising of a group in Yamagakure.

This uprising proved to be a savior in grace as his capture and extended stay in prison allowed to not be present during the Uchiha clan massacre. It was clear this group was looking to obtain a sharingan and Raido just became their new supplier however this was foiled, as he was rescued by his brother Takenshi as Raido's team was captured. This was used a leverage to capture him as well, from there he went on to save his team and complete the mission. When they returned to the village 2-3 weeks weeks later, to their dismay they found that the entire clan was Slaughtered when they returned. Due to the fact that both Raido and Takenshi at the time did not wear Uchiha clan clothing or symbols they were not thought of as Uchiha clan survivors but rather standard shinobi who returned back to the village. It was explained to them the clan was slayed overnight, with no reasons to stay in konoha and the fear the one who committed this genocide might return Raido left for Yamagakure while Takenshi disappeared leaving no traces of his whereabouts.

Years later they would meet both suffering from the curse of the Mangekyo Sharingan and fought in a last brother standing match to which Raido won, thanks to his bringing of Kohana Uzumaki who was able to treat his fatal wounds saving his life and later transplanting his brother eyes. After this Time Raido took on a series of mission and adventures that introduced him to people across the world to some of the greatest and legendary of ninja such as Takeko Nakano, Miyuki Murakami, Sannoto Senju, Yasuki Hatake Kaname Soga and even a distance relative Yoshitsune Uchiha, he did battle with other hall of which he fought and did battle with. however his adventures were brought to a halt when he was defeated by Tsuki no Ai and sealed away by Terrax who possessed abilities Raido never encountered. He was imprisoned for 7 years stripped of his memories and certain abilities.

Post Cryo-Stasis Imprisonment
In his time encased in the cryo-stasis sleep his body did not age. He was imprisoned the duration of the Fourth Great Shinobi War. He was released by Terrax and Raizo due to his vast set of skills and was given a new Identity, He was introduced to Shurado who taught him the Freezing Release in order to strengthen Raido who was severely under powered in those 7 years. Since then he immediately set out to regain his old prowess in both combat and dexterity with one goal in mind, The defeat and fall of Fa' rao. The fight was long and painstaking, but with the assistance of Kaname Soga Raido managed to imprison the ancient figure. After his triumph, Raido was introduced to the three trials temple to which only those with the enlightened eyes may see or enter. This led Raido to his toughest task yet, dealing with three poisons that are his source of Dukkha, taking the forms of ghost from his past. These Raido's life has been shrouded in mystery, leaving it up to those close to him and distant to assume what his motives and current goals are.

Personality
Raido X has always been a difficult person to discern and despite the fact he doesn't express interest in reviving his clan he has great loyalty to them as a whole. He has become an engima to both friend and ally alike, as he is never clear to anyone about himself. Allowing others to define their own image of just what and who Raido X is up to or not. He is incredibly Flippant as he mouths of to the baddest and most powerful of shinobi. Always looking to slide in a witty comeback or remark to his opponents, and will not hesitate to make condescending remarks to his target. Making them charge into battle with no plan. When not in battle he is a cool calm and collected man with a cooler than ice persona. He is known for his true neutral lifestyle as most times he is willing to Look the other way if a situation doesn't affect him directly, But when it does he rises to the challenge. He will not go out of his way to hurt someone. He has stated many times he doesn't care for the Will of Fire or the Curse of Hatred, as he has created his own ideals to life rather than live by the one's set by others He was blessed with the gift of gab and is extremely clever as seen he can easily coax people into situations as well as talk himself out of the most complicated of conversations, he himself even said he could can read a ninja handbook and make it sound good.After a few months after his revival and removing his surname he has shown to enjoy life a lot more, or as he calls it enjoying the finer and smaller things in life, he however maintains his lust for combat, and fighting. he retained his lack of seriousness unless left with no choice. He also will not fight a target that can not fight back or defend themselves as he calls it dishonorable to pick on those who cant fight. He often states that killing his not his style but if left with out a choice he will brutally slaughter without slightest sense of remorse nor guilt.

Despite his mostly neutral disposition he is very loving and caring always looking for the next good time, which often comes at the price of his enemies. He does however keep his word when he gives it as seen during his battle with Sannoto Senju where he agreed to rebuild the destroyed Uzumaki village as a treaty between the Surviving Uchiha Clan members and the present Senju clan hoping to snuff out and bury the old bad blood in hopes of rewriting the future of both clans showing that Raido is despite all his neutral qualities a man of honor. He still retains his flippant Attitude but much more toned down from his prior lifestyle. He never answers questions directly he instead, talks around them using his gifted power of verbiage to hint the illusion he answered a question he has shown in gathering information as he learned in conversation people inadvertently give out more info than they needed to but don't realize it, something that has made Raido an expert tracker. He has been known to never fight serious or with killing intent, something that most say hampers his abilities as he could be so much stronger if he was ever serious. which angers his opponents as they feel as though he treat them and their abilities as a joke when Raido just simply enjoys the moments in good fights. Raido similar to his brother is prone to random appearances, and disappearances. often being gone from anywhere to a few weeks to months,without word or warning. He often fabricates and undermines his time off, by saying nothing or literally talking in circles to avoid giving an answer.

Though Raido often makes light of nearly every situation he is in, he has shown the great capacity to learn and understand, never allowing his ego or pride to get in the way. He makes jokes of everthing to ease his own stress and remind himself that there is nothing he can't over come, which greatly implies Raido is self motivated. Raido as shown the willingness to teach, as seen in many cases such as Yoshitsune, Yasuki, Kiba, and others. Whether it was for nature releases, or help with mastering techniques with the sharingan.

Despite his antics Yama has likened his love for knowledge and enlightenment to that of the Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki's own. Going far as stating he embodied the hunger for knowledge and understanding of Hagoromo, both men had ambition and the capacity to want to learn more and pursue that any way they could.

Appearance
Raido has been quoted by both his master and friends as being a physical specimen, standing at about 199. cm(6ft 5 inches) 253lbs. He Towers over most of his peers and enemies. As put by Kohana Uzumaki and lastly Yuna, he has the physique women love in an ideal man. During the End of an era series his hair becomes waist-length. Under his usual outfit he wears Light bluish-gray bandages on his body, tightly wrapped around his torso, right arm, and sometimes his face, ending just beneath his eyes. Raido wears his hair in a style vaguely similar to Izuna Uchiha, and Madara giving hima hairstyle similar to both men. As of late within the End and so on Raido now wears prayer beads around his neck, with a visible black Ten (天, ten, "heaven") kanji on the center bead, which is usually not visible until Raido is molding chakra. It is unknown the current function of the beads other than that of paraphernalia of his recent exploits. He discovered these beads in the, to which they were hidden from the eyesight of the Sharingan. It stated only he who has taken the path of enlightenment can read and find the contents of this message and find this sacred treasure. At some point Raido used the chakra receivers and implanted them into in his forearms, and allows them to protrude out for whatever reason this has yet to be explained, but Raido says it plays a part in his study of the Inner Path (Six Paths).

Raido now wears an closed-collared, one-sleeved version of his original waistcoat. Which is mostly black with a red flamed pattern going across the upper chest area and to the shoulder which is instead tucked in and zipped. The sleeve covers Raido's right arm, and he wears a black glove on his right hand. His entire left arm however, is consequently exposed. Raido continues wearing his buddha beads scarf and retains the same lower clothing of black pants with red flames going down the sides of the legs. He also sports a wristband on his left wrist to compliment the colors of his outfit scheme, which is usually black and red.

Abilities
Due to the constant flux of his abilities, Raido is virtually impossible to measure by standards of power. However he has maintained his image as being one of the greatest adaptive fighters to have ever existed. The extent of Raido's power is widely unknown as he has never fought with a serious resolve, and battles for the sheer pleasure of it. This often leaves his opponents to gauge where they believe his strength level lies, which more often than not leads to both overestimation, and underestimation. What never comes in question is his prowess and capabilities in battle, Raido has entered the upper echelon of being a shinobi as a warrior and a tactician. While he often credits others being stronger than him he in fact is at the top of the shinobi world in terms of combat and battle tactics. Raido's possesses gargantuan levels of chakra which allow him great flexibilty in his jutsu, his natural reserves after implanting Uzuamki DNA within himself, saw an increase, his vitality,and stamina have since doubled his normal level and rate, and seen immense changes within his quantity and quality of chakra. He has his ability to use powerful techniques and get the most out of his chakra, and not waste or over exert it.

His versatility in combat and ability to turn any situation into his favor has made him a very sought out man to fight as his battle skills have transcended him to the upper echelon of the Ninja world. His rise to fame originated from the fact he would fight without the use of dojutsu despite his possession of them. Due to his fanatic search and desperation to beat Fa' rao he began to study and chase the Rinnegan which ended in failure after failure until after months and years of a combination of him and Kohana. However in the end after a situation with Tensai Uzumaki, his mind was trapped within the Naraka Realm to which he could not leave without understanding the cycle of reincarnation. For a time his lack of seriousness was the anchor that held him back but eventually he would become enlightened and unlock the secrets to Rinnegan. This new gain in power however caused him to lose his signature abilities in the Freezing Release and Ice Release. He gained access to the Yin principle to add to his Yang which greatly switched up his fighting style and gave him more variety of moves, he has so far shown great use in both mixing the two and individual moves. Though he usually is seen in powerhouse light Raido has a habit of using trickery, and deceitful tactics to allure a false concept of his fighting ability. Usually giving off the impression he uses power style move when he prefers a methodical approach. Not one to flaunt his power, Raido often fights at a clam controlled pace, Raido has show the ability to use brute force and run rough shot over his opponents

Intelligence
Contrary to popular belief Raido relies more on intelligence, agility, and quick wit to protect himself, rather than his physical strength. Raido frequently outmaneuvered enemies with his words but when forced to fight he comes as an incredible opponent. Raido also has developed a keen sense of trickery and deception often using that to outfox his opponents. This in turn also keeps his allies guessing, as no one really knows the motives Raido strives for or what his goals really are. He often does things by what seems to be a whim but always have a deeper significance to them. Leaving others with assumptions of what he is doing, and obtaining all of which are always wrong. The fact that Raido's demeanor is always joyful this often leads to the speculation that he is possibly far more skilled than he lets on to be. He is shrewd, calculating and intelligent using his complex wordplay and vocabulary to confuse his enemies. Using his gifted power of wordplay he often speaks in ways that lead to him always getting just what he is looking for from someone. Raido also shows his ability to improvise well on his feet. As seen in his battle with Sannoto where he intentionally weakened the platform knowing the Sannoto's main attack force used the ground to create itself which would slowly damage the structural platform slowly while he made sure it went down allowing Sannoto to freely use his iron moves at the risk of Raido's balance. In the end this plan paid off as it allowed him to gain victory over his long time hardy Foe. Not outsmarting him but adapting better to the situation around him. His acquisition of the Rinnegan has allowed him to explore and information about the Sage, and his history in its entirety. Allowing him to find treasure the Sage hid from the world. Such as the Temizuya Shrine, which held secrets closest to the Sage. Raido has more often than not despite his humorous approach to combat has shown that he is alarmingly observant, and highly descriptive. In all his prowess it is said that what makes Raido truly dangerous his ability to create flawless stratagems that allow him to completely outclass and outfox anyone he faces. His vast experience in the art of designing plans and methods allows him to attack from multiple fronts on the grounds of combat, giving him a multitude of ways he can attack and defend making it very hard to effectively counter his move set, as more often than not Raido has outclassed his opponents rather than overpowering them. Another testament to his intelligence is the large number of moves he created under the Guise of the Six Paths Technique, creating the foundation of his own unique style, and jutsu. Raido has shown great balance in psychological warefare,in many of his fights he lets his opponents get to a place of contentment, fighting as if he is on the defensive. When Raido is indeed taking moments to study where his enemy is the most comfortable, and then turn it into his advantage. Making his opponents strength his strength, and their weakness his strength. Raido has studied various aspects of socialogy, and has taken into account the actions of humans based on their social behavior in combat, which allows him to make these flawless plans in even the most dangerous of situations.

Ninjutsu
Raido X use of Ninjutsu have varied over the years due to his learning capabilities, even without use of the Sharingan he can quickly configure a jutsu and learn it on its basic level being able to explain the mechanics of it after seeing it 2 times. He in turn mastered a Vast number of techniques, he is also proficient in several nature transformations, due to his possession of the Rinnegan. However his most dangerous and most powerful affinity is the one he possesses in the Fire Release. A release Raido has practiced since he was a child, and even until now. Raido by kneading his enlightened new chakra into his stomach can create fires that have been said reach up to temperatures of 3600 F (2000 C). Burning so intensely that it can actually split water into hydrogen and oxygen forcing the hydrogen and oxygen undergo combustion due to the excessive heat to form water again. He is without question considered one of the greatest users of the Fire Release ninjutsu in his current generation, his aptitude in that area unmatched by his peers as of late. His prowess with other Nature techniques is such that he can match specialists, but he hasn't been seen utilizing the others as much. He once wielded he Freezing and Ice Release to which he used to devastating effects in battle finding ways to even use its weakness to his strength. Giving him a slight advantage over Water and Wind users. He was a known Wielder of the Yang Release to create a unique pair of clone that gather chakra for him. and when they are defeated their gathered chakra goes to him. After Gaining the Rinnegan he lost his abilities in both the Freezing and Ice Release he gained the ability to wield the Yin-Yang abilities to which he has quickly become a well know user of being able to use the principle of both to create some clever techniques of his own. Thought Raido has a plethora of nature releases he understands he and in theory can possibly wield, Raido is more comfortable wielding his trade mark Fire Release

Chakra Quality
While before it hard hard to measure how powerful Raido's chakra was no measurements were needed after he later donned the Six Paths of Pain Technique. Raido was able to help change the entire course and tide of a civil war using six different bodies and exert chakra through any of them at any given time. However due to the powers within the Paths themselves whats even more alarming is that the speeds of the jutsu are said to be stronger when used from one original body. The amount of power he was able to channel through each of the paths was consider gargantuan, these two paths being the Deva Path and Asura Path. His two main offesive paths with incredible fire power. These two paths alone could change the momentum of battle instantly and alone the two paths were the main focus of his offensive might. Unlike most Uchiha who implant Senju DNA, Raido instead planted that of their distant cousin, the Uzumaki Clan. Due to this he inherited an exceptionally strong life force, which will possibly bid him a longer life in his shinobi career. His ability to create varying offesive measures, and defensive measures all the while altering his chakra signal to give off different frequencies to avoid the more powerful sensors has made him more than competant in chakra control, being able to control his chakra down to the smallest detail.

Physical Prowess
After his enlightenment, Yama Trained Raido in the harsh unforgiving depths of the Naraka Realm to not only enhance his body but his mind as well. Raido X saw an immense gain his his physical attributes ,as witnessed in the End of an Era series. He developed accelerated speed and reflexes, enhanced agility, intensified endurance, and increased strength. His endurance has been heightened to the point that attempting to punch him or engage in hand-to hand combat would most likely result in fractured limbs on the part of the attacker if enough force isnt gathered. This is seen when a survivor from Otogakure Punched him, resulting to him grimacing and shaking the punching hand to alleviate the pain with no affect to Raido. Notable achievements of his superhuman speed, as he dodged thrown kunai and jutsu at point blank range. His speed is so advanced an intensified that he is capable of performing short dashes of speed faster than the human brain could process, appearing as if he teleported.

Making him extremely lethal at close range encounters, and allowing him to cover great distance in short to medium burst. Which is surprising for a man of his size, as Raido is not small man by any means of the imagination. Even before his enlightenment, and Naraka Realm training Raido's rigorous training from childhood-to manhood augmented with his bloodline's ties to the Uchiha. This has shaped him into a powerful warrior, physically conditioned beyond normal human standards his speed and acrobatic skills are beyond exceptional. His skills in hand to hand combat and weaponry are at the master level, particularly his combat skills.

What goes often underestimated due to his choice of fighting styles his is raw strength, while Raido hasn't shown many feats of his strength he has been quoted as being unnaturally strong, he has shown the ability to lift up two people and hold them by their neck high in the air with no signs of stress or struggle. His punches have shown enough strength to make Tailed Beast flinch under his impact and momentum. His strength does not surprise most due to his size, but his ability to be as swift as he is and pack the power he does often catches people off guard.

Capoeira
Since a being a young man living in Yamagakure Raido Uchiha was taught the Capoeira (Altered) style of fighting as a child and as he grew older this gives him the ability to fight using punches but quickly switch to kicking quickly.. This fighting style to those who have fought Raido claims its remiscent of a graceful dance. however its Raido Agility and immense strength that has made him so dangerous with the style that going up against other well known fighting styles and holding his own if not besting others. When his master died Raido promised to carry on the ways of this fighting style and its principles to the one who will become his student one day.

This fighting style is amplified by Raido Ability to shift or quickly warp Using the Siddha it allows Raido to attack forcifully with fluid motion to which has been described as poetry in motion which is why he has such great success in fighting large groups of people, and why he specializes in Taijutsu. He is a master practioner of this fighting style as he moves with us such grace that often times those watching are captivated by the simple acrobatics of the flips and kicks of cartwheels he dishes out. This is also the reason so those who fought Raido in taijutsu have often had hard times landing attacks on Raido as he always moving and evading that its hard to pinpoint his moves or center of gravity to strike him even. When using the Rinnegan and its abilities of the Six Paths, Raido can implement some rather deadly combo attacking in unorthodox methods, and means. Pehaps his most dangerous, his when it is used in conjuncture with his Human Path and Naraka Path abilities. Both of which require for Raido to grab his opponent. Should Raido indeed be able to perform either paths and grab his enemy it will result in often fatal consequences. Warding many to be mindful of his hands when his Rinnegan has been activated in battle.

As Raido progressed in his fighting style Raido added the element of Will Materialisation to create Chakra Receiver Manifestation he has shown the ability to create these from any part of his body he wishes, as shown multiple times where he has created blades from under his sleeves, and from his back. He incorporated this ability with his already lethal Capoeira, which gives Raido a different but deadly dimension in his already well balanced fighting style. His ability to create the blade from any part of his body often wards him from using his more deadly Dark Slayer style, and his trademark blade. When combined with the abilities of the Asura Path which gives him extra extremities his combat abilities in taijutsu triple. His fighting style shifts to a more aggressive, form of capoeira, where he uses more grabs and holds and even suplex's.

Genjutsu
Raido is known as the worlds most adaptive fighter, boasting comprehensive skills that allow him to fight on any battlefield, and put a up a significant challenge if not win. However one of his lesser known abilities is his skill in genjutsu. Raido has rarely ever been seen using genjutsu in combat. This comes from Raido's natural disgust in illusions, and his lack of practice in casting genjutsu. In all of Raido's training he focused more on combat of the body, and spirit. It is safe to say that on his own even when in possession of his Sharingan, Raido was not properly taught how to cast a genjutsu, therefore genjutsu appears to be the glaring chink in the armor of the Dark Slayer personal arsenal, however over time Raido under Yama's supervision, and training in Naraka has strengthened his mind to become more resistant to genjutsu. This is did not translate to his ability to caste a genjutsu, however Raido's ability relies on allowing himself to fall prey to an opponents genjutsu, and allowing his five senses to be tricked so he can rely on his innate ability to sense dukkha. With Yama's help Raido has become highly proficient in reversing genjutsu, and using the one caste on him as a layer to create his own, this came with great practice and skill, as each genjutsu attacks a different sense, and has a different effect. Raido using the Chakra Receiver Manifestation as his medium can trap opponents within a unique genjutsu that give opponents visions of being trapped in naraka, and as long as they are subjected to contact with Raido's blades that can be haunted with these illusions to which Raido can use to gain intel from an individual without the use of the Human Path

Sensory Skills
Raido due to his training under Yama and in the depths of the Naraka Realm has gained a 6th sense. This unlike most conventional sensory ninja does not sense chakra. It instead senses the Dukkha of an opponent, Dukkha is
 * "Suffering",
 * "Stress",
 * "Anxiety", or
 * "Dissatisfaction".

It comes in 3 patterns and 8 levels, as the higher the level the easier it is to sense the power and anguish of the opponent/person. Due to this Raido has become a renowned tracker and sensor, it is unknown to other as they believe it is the chakra of the person he can sense when in actuality, it is their negative Karma in a sense that Raido is sensing that gives off their locations and distance. Negative karma however unlike chakra, can not be hidden or masked, as it is something that leaks from the soul and essence of a person. This has made it hard for Tsuki no Ai to hide from the prying eyes of Raido, as now he can sense the dukkha of his friend and foes alike. This ability seems to be passive, as whether Raido want to sense them or not he can get a fix on the level of dukkha a person possesses. He can even sense his own. However due to his inexperience with the sensory abilities and lack of time he, unlike Yama can not detect the specific level of suffering, nor identify the person identity just by sensing alone. Which make Yama greatly more advanced at sensing than Raido. Raido has noted that its easy to distinguish certain Kg such as the Sharingan, and the certain clans due to their traditions and history. Since his cleansing by way of the three trials Raido has released himself from the bonds of his own dukkha, and has gained an upper level in terms of classifying dukkha. While he ranks a lot closer to Yama in the sensory department he has yet to surpass him.

Three Patterns Also referred to as the suffering of suffering. Includes the sufferings of This outer level of dukkha includes all of the obvious physical suffering or pain associated with
 * Birth,
 * Aging,
 * Sickness,
 * Death,''
 * Coming across what is not desirable.
 * Giving birth,
 * Growing old,
 * Physical illness
 * The process of dying.

This is the first three patterns by which the other eight types fall into place with, it serves as the foundation for the undesirable. Everyone falls victim to a different form of dissatisfaction as found by Raido where he could even sense that even if someone shared the same level their individual suffering was different. Raido is able to sense a persons whereabouts and find their location using this sensing, however unlike Yama he can detect what form and direct level the suffering it on. Its this ability that had made Raido an expert tracker, even when his vision has been obscured, or his opponent is in hiding. He can sense them right away and attack, making Raido very conscious and aware. Making sneaking up on him or getting the drop on him virtually impossible. Even in battle this serves a powerful purpose, as seen against clone based techniques, He can easily tell the difference of a clone and the real one, as clones are made from a persons chakra. Clones do not present a source of dukkha, which makes it easier for Raido to pick them out, from the real person and ignore them. Although he gained this ability once he obtained the Rinnegan the sensing of Dukkha is a passive ability. His Dojutsu does not have to be active to utilize his sensory skills, nor are they amplified or hindered by them being active.

Eight levels
 * Birth-The discomfort of birth and experiencing the world for the first time; and the discomfort of relating to new demands or experiences.


 * Old age-The discomfort involved in the process of aging and growing old, this can apply to psychological as well as physical discomfort of aging.
 * Sickness: the discomfort of physical or psychological illness.


 * Death: includes the pain of separation and not being able to continue on in your endeavors, as well as the physical discomfort of dying.


 * Getting what you don't want: being unable to avoid difficult or painful situations.


 * Not being able to hold onto what is desirable: the pain of trying to hold onto what is desirable, lovely, splendid, terrific.


 * Not getting what you do want: this underlies the previous two categories, the anxiety of not getting what you want.

Raido is not nearly as proficient as Yama in detecting and sorting them out, he has shown the ability to tell the difference, and understand the person dissatisfaction. This sensory ability allows him to get the jump on his positions which has made ambushing Raido nigh impossible. This sensory also allow him to work under conditions even when he is blinded or in the dark.

Rinnegan
Raido came to terms that despite his new found powers and abilities in the Sharingan, it would not be enough to topple the reign of Fa' rao. Raido maxed out the capacity for the sharingan, and a second fight vs Fa' rao would only result in another loss if not worst. This in mind Raido realized he had no choice but to find the truths about the eye that was considered above the sharingan. Raido personal feelings aside of the rinnegan as he felt it was overrated, he needed its abilities and power to end the man who once ended him. Having taken a pilgrimage across The Land of Mountains. In the end he confirmed his truths and with the help of Kohana Uzumaki he managed to finally implant Uzumaki DNA. At first there was no sign of change, and this was the case for several weeks, until Raido fell asleep and awoke to a dream he could not snap awake to. Here he met his spirit guide Yama who told Raido of the realms he would need to learn in this cycle. In order to get back to the physical world he needed to be reborn and truly ascend. Due to Raido's early ignorance he plagued and doomed to restart time and time again, his lack of seriousness plunging him further into the depths of inferiority until, he wised up and began to proceed seriously. Once he obtained the Rinnegan, Raido eyes were opened to a whole new truth, he was enlightened and had access to abilities that were off limits to him earlier.

With the Rinnegan he could visualize chakra, and although not to the same degree as his sharingan but it was useful. He could see barriers, of many sort and kinds, such as the one smost villages use to signal an intruder entering the a villages. Thanks in part to the Rinnegan, Raido has the capacity to learn all 5 nature releases and wield them accordingly, however he usually sticks with the ones he knows best. Raido also gained The ability to wield the Six Paths Technique.He was placed under a merit system of how he would obtain the paths to ensure he would not misuse the power. The reason the Rinnegan took root in Raido's eyes was self improvement, and his willing to pursue knowledge and chase enlightement beyond the physical relams. After his study and training under the spirits of the paths Raido was granted access to all six, Provided that he adhere to the rules the spirits set for him in using its power, and the curse that will follow his life forever. Since then Raido has shown what appears to be a natural flexibility in his time using the other paths. As the newly ordained Fourth of the Six Paths Raido has lived up to his name, and his promise.

Due to Raido being able to manifest his Rinnegan naturally and not by other methods via implants. Raido is able to activate or deactivate his Rinnegan at will or whim. Similar to that of his Sharingan when he once wielded that. The Rinegan has allowed allowed him access to the Temizuya Shrine which he now calls home. The secrets he read their uncovered allowed for him to take the mantle of the Fourth of the Six Paths. It is unknown what other knowledge he has gained from this. Raido using his potent knowledge of the Rinnegan managed to rediscover the Inner Path, and even create a whole series of Arts called as the Gedō Arts. This earned him the moniker as the Fourth of the Six Paths. A title he was rather slow to grow on him.

Raido in his own admission has become one of the most renowned uses of the Rinnegan, gaining the respect of those such as Yama and the spirts of the Six Paths themselves. His mastery of the Six Paths Technique has allowed him to even combine paths to forge new jutsu and create offensive and defensive formations in battle. Though his Rinnegan gave him great power, to which he could use to fend off any would be attacker. The lust for power for others wanting a Rinnegan has more often than not made him a target, that and combined with the secrets Raido has unlocked within his body and eyes, has made him very wary of love and relationships. Knowing enemies would go to any length to draw him out and use his family and loved ones as a way to get to him. This has strained Raido's ideals on love and relationship, as per his duties he won't always be around to safe guard. In order to preserve the secrets that lay hidden in his eyes and body, Yama and Raido both have already made the arrangements for when Raido time has come.

Six Paths Mastery
Beyond, the Naraka Realm, and his creation of the Gedō Arts. Raido has set himself apart from other variations of the Rinnegan for his complete mastery and extension of the Six Paths Techniques. This has proven to be the deciding factors in nearly all of his fights. As his mastery in each individual path is not only near flawless, but his comfort level in being able to mix paths up together to create a flow in combat. The Deva Path allows the user to manipulate attractive and repulsive forces with objects and people. With years of practice Raido managed to extend the use of gravity to more than just a blast of force. He has created ways to lighten the gravity around him, making his body lighter, to increase the speeds at which he moves. Then while moving at such speeds increase his gravity to make himself heavier giving himself greater density. Enhancing the attack power behind his blows and strikes. He can effectively create small zones and barriers where he can manipulate the gravity, causing his opponents to fall victim to their own weight or lack there off. Making opponents a sitting duck in the middle of combat. While there was no way to counter the 5 second interval of when the jutsu could be used, Raido learned how to buy himself more time by funneling the amount of pressure and chakra placed into the blast. Making his Deva Path far more focused, and powerful than just a simple force burst. Using his Asura Path Raido gains an assortment of different weapons, and arms. These extra limbs when used in conjuncture with Raido's Capoeira prowess making fending him off in taijutsu far less possible, Raido has shown that he can literally wreck havoc and turn tides of battles. His prowess within the Asura Path shows he can utilize a plethora of weaponry and an alarming amount of destruction.

His ability to prowess with the Preta Path has allow him to create a series of techniques that branch off using both the Deva Path, and The Outer Path leading to the creation of jutsu such as, Gedō Arts: Twin Orchestra of Dissonance. Both use the abilities of the Preta Path to absorb chakra, while one rips its out. Perhaps his most defining paths are his excellent study and profound knowledge of the Naraka Path the Outer Path, and along side the Human Path. Among both not only can has Raido shown the ability to use the basic skills of the paths, but has shown the ability interrogate and revive whoever he places within the mouth of Yama, but even learned how to heal himself using the Naraka powers of restoration to heal his injuries. With the Human Path, Raido can not only read the minds and steals the souls of those he touches should the path be activated, but when used in conjuncture with the Outer Path he can use this abilities together to steal the life force from a person body, using the principles of the Outer paths ability too transcend life and death. Raido's mastery in the Animal Path has extended to the point where he can capture other summons and subjugate them under his control by use of the Chakra rods he creates. Raido has also shown the ability to steal the summons of others and control them with his blade using his powerful chakra to control them, turning them on their previous summoner. Raido's use of the Animal Path is based not only around a solid offense and defense, but for missions dealing with recon, espionage, intel gathering and high profile assassinations, and various attack methods that change based on the summoned creature.

Former Abilities
Over the course of his lifetime Raido abilities has been in a constant flux, whether it was him gaining new powers or losing old ones. He has gained/lost a good portion of his abilities. Such as his Freezing Release which was an advanced form of his Ice Release to which he wielded with extreme proficiency, combating even the move powerful of Fire Release Moves. Even his trademark Sharingan which was one's claim to be apart of the Uchiha Clan.

Sharingan
Raido awakened his Sharingan at the age of 8 by pure accident while he was venturing out to the woods. He was sent by his brother to obtain a certain flower for his mothers birthday, a water lily which could be found by the lake in the tallest mountain. Rather he found himself surrounded by Mountain Bighorn rams. Mammals that were known to inhabit the range and often attack humans. Raido aware of such warnings but stil wanting to do something nice for his mother birthday ventured onward anyway, numb to the fear of the rams until they noticed him and converged on his path. Though a shinobi and having above average movements for a child Raido fended them off for a short period of time, however he was swiftly over run and cornered. The battering attacks of the rams charging into his at the time young body began to take its toll, defeated and dejected Raido laid on a tree for support as the rams closed their ranks on him, and appeared to finally have his number. He couldn't understand why the rams attacked him as he meant them no harm, his fear of being killed by rams, and most of all falling short caused something within him to snap, he began to question the animals non-stop demanding answers, out of fear anger,and confusion and seeking knowledge of why he was attacked, without him knowing the birthright of his clan took root in his eyes, he willed himself forward to defend and escape, using the prowess of a 1 tomoe sharingan to escape. Making it back down the mountain safely from the reach of the rams, only to pass out later from his injuries and battering, at the front gate of the village

When he came to, he remembered his situation, but was not aware he unlocked the sharingan until he and his brother were together back on the same mountains as before when he and he came face to face with the same pack of rams who attacked him before, and just as before the rams converged on the position of both boys. Raido had a flashback of his last run in with them, and the same emotions gripped his heard and mind once more, and it was here his eyes prowess once again took root, this time he was not wounded nor hurt. It wasn't until after the altercation with the rams and his brother looked into his eyes and realized he had finally unlocked his sharingan, that he learned he was now able to wield the powerful dojutsu of his clan. From that day forward Raido trained his eyes from his brother and fathers lessons, of tracking fast moving objects, slight motion, coordinated strikes, and the ability to diagnose different style of chakra by their color, however he would spend more time on his own training or with his brother due to his parents always on missions away.

Mangekyo Sharingan
Far as the young Uchiha knew, the three tomoe sharingan was as far as one could progress the sharingan. at this time at the tender age of fifteen, Raido mastered most of his uses of the sharingan, but little did he know he had not even scratched the surface. This knowledge would be soon known to him at the most discomforting of times. The mission was to recover the weapons shipment that was late heading into Yamagakure, after two days of no word a team was sent to retrieve and recover all lost weapons and to investigate the missing shipment, however when they arriverd to the scene they were immediately ambushed by rogue ninja from a group who was still harboring anger toward the village for their acts in the prior war. The attack was so sudden, and with such aggression, that within moments Raido and his team were overwhelmed and pinned down the moment the hit their hiding spots. His teammates Kohana Uzumaki, and fellow Yashiro were wounded from the beginning strike. A wounded Raido as well found himself in the same predicament. With his cover being ripped apart by the incoming assaults of ninjutsu by the enemy, and a need to desperately move to his teammates position, he was trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Yashiro locked eyes with Raido and nodded, Raido confused by this gesture did not understand, but Yashiro stood up and made a mad dash for it, attempting to create and opening, yelling and bellowing out a war cry for Raido to run while he drew their fire. While Raido made a break for it his dear teammate and long time buddy Yashiro was ripped apart and maimed from the damage he took from the assault he drew. While Raido was now ina much safer place from the assaults which came to a halt, all he could see what his teammates lifeless body which was scattered among the wind, as he was shredded. The same Raido who never had a chance to mourn his parents, never mourned the genocide of his clan, the middle of action finally snapped. Like a floodgate his emotions finally got the best of him, all that he bottled out came spiraling out of him and the loss and hatred of his losses finally took its toll. Raido opened his mangekyo unknowingly. By this point Raido felt formless, like he held no weight and had nothing left to hold him together, he became numb to the world, and all sense of emotion passed through him, his ears became hollow as his teammates cries did not reach his ears, passing through his mind and body as well.

In a blood thirsty onslaught Raido went on the attack, much like his reasoning and emotion, everything the rogue shinobi threw at him seemingly pass though him as if he was no there, and Raido went on a rampage, defeating every enemy shinobi there with the help of Kohana. This out of body experience caused Raido to lose touch with himself, and lose his form, his tangibles of what held his life together laid in pieces around him, his first actual friend. It was here Raido found that his eyes did not have the capacity for the the famed Amaterasu, or the mythic Tsukiyomi. Instead his eyes gained another gift. Raido could tamper with his form and go intangible. Raido had no name for this technique, nor did he have a way to research it. However this new power came with a deadly cost, after the technique subsided and head-splitting pain followed that made Raido nearly pass out from his usage. This in mind Raido opted to not use his new technique unless he needed to.

As time would pass, and more missions would come in varying difficulty Raido would find himself subjected to leaning on this techniques weird abilities, and suffer the consequences later, and much to his chagrin discovered not only was the pain increasing but his vision was getting worse. Even with Kohana expertise they could not slow or subside the pain nor restore his lost vision, and Raido has all but passed up using the jutsu all together till a letter came addressed to him, from his brother, Takenshi Uchiha. The letter had details and instructions for Raido to report to the Naka Shrine, and there the two would meet after being absent for five years. Wanting to see his brother after years of missing in actions Raido eagerly came, and it was there the truth was made known to him about the blessed eye both men inherited, and the curse that followed afterward. Knowing both men would eventually fall into the dame darkness, Takenshi offered the men both battled like they did as children, but this time for a much larger prize, a last brother standing to see which was fit to carry the name off into the next generation. While at first Raido refused, the ever encroaching darkness and pain quickly made him retract this statement and battle his brother... The winner would carry the name off and live allowing the one brother to see the future through the other eyes, the loser would be a stepping stone for the other progression, mentioned only in memories and told in stories of the great times that were.

Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan
After setting the rules of engagement the brother savagely attacked each other, while by blood they were brothers, once the fight began they were fighting for their lives, to prove who between the two held the right to carry the other one into the future, while the others story would end here. The battles lasted for an entire day with both men methodically wearing each other down, but as fate would only smile on one man, and on this day Raido would be the victor. Raido watched as his brother slowly succumbed to his fatal wounds, while praised by his brother for his Kamui, his dying wish was to see the future through the eyes of Raido, and see the world the way he did. Raido himself was badly wounded and needed to go to intensive care himself, and once he wa his injuries were taken care of Kohana could begin the surgery to implant his brothers eyes and restore the light in his.

After resting an entire week, Raido could once again see through his own eyes never having to worry about the light slowly fading form his eyes, his brother gave him the gift of eternal light. Something Raido hled his end of the deal and allowed his brother to see his vision.

Freezing Release
Fresh off his revival Raido was severely under powered, and a shell of his former glory. To compensate for a small portion of his power, Raizo introduced Raido to Shurado, who was a master of the Freezing Release. A more advanced version of the Ice Release. It allows the user to psychically decelerate the motion of particles, thus rapidly cooling or freezing any given subject by one or many of numerous ways. With Freezing Release ninjutsu the user is able to freeze water or any other substances around the immediate vicinity by having their temperatures decreased, as such anything that comes into contact are solidified in the process. Raido took this release and improved upon it greatly, showing but its defensive and offensive capabilities. He even showed the ability to flash freeze certain fire release moves as well by freezing the particles in the air, which thinned the air out giving the fire nothing to burn. Despite his prowess with the release he lost it in favor of the Rinnegan, however he quoted to have gladly made the sacrifice. Raido did state he wanted to use the Freezing Release on Fa' rao in their final battle, this of never came to pass however.
