Some are strong, some sleek and lithe, and unlike their crafts, very rarely are they perfectly balanced. Kasumi is one such rare individual, possessed of both enormous power and discipline and honed towards the steely point of perfection. To Kasumi, the only goal that matters is the pursuit of the perfect work, but she understands that such perfection exists only in brief, ephemeral moments. The masterwork of a single instance represents but a single moment of unparalleled skill, the best one can achieve in one's current state - but like fine steel, the Masazane constantly improve upon themselves and what qualifies as a masterwork changes as they themselves are tempered to yet finer points. There is a fire in her soul that stokes her metaphorical forge, pressing her onward to create greater and greater-still works and improve herself beyond what she could have ever thought possible - but this fire is not all-consuming. It is reasonable, like Kasumi herself, and though the great work is all that Kasumi values on a personal level, she understands very much that the world does not revolve around her pursuit of artistic and martial perfection. Kasumi is extremely pragmatic, preferring to take her responsibilities head-on and deal with them in as efficient a manner as possible. She is far removed from the lofty philosophical debates of abstract thinkers, paying heed only to the reality of the situation and the events and steps required to deal with it in as efficient and logical a manner as humanly possible. Despite her pursuit of artistic perfection, Kasumi understands the nature of fault - just as she has created flawed work, she understands that blemishes allow for growth - and while they must ultimately be removed in order to make way for the betterment of the self and of the great work they hold value for as long as they can impart lessons and allow for improvement. This has led to Kasumi being an exceptionally patient and forgiving individual, who accepts nothing less than the pursuit of perfection but is willing to help anybody work towards it for as long as their pursuit is that of internal and external mastery. Owing to the heavily male-dominated political culture of her clan, Kasumi is very far removed from the squabbles of succession and political grandstanding that many governmental entities seek to ensconce themselves within - Kasumi prefers the path of action, and cares little for political consequence in the wake of those actions. This has earned her much scorn within and outside of her clan, with some believing that she has some ulterior political agenda to fulfil by disrupting their own plans, and others recognising her for the artist in pursuit of perfection that she really is. Kasumi is often quite oblivious to the political undertones of the world, seeing little value in them and wishing only to distance herself from their machinations (but often inadvertently embroiling herself within them more as she attempts to avoid them). Kasumi is not what one could typically consider a "nice" person - though she has the intentions of nurturing ambition and helping others achieve their inner greatness, other people are not much like Kasumi - allowing their own foibles and lack of discipline render them unworkable. This is a great sin to Kasumi's way of thinking, and often results in her callously discarding those that she has deemed beyond salvaging. The kindest and wisest of people can be discarded in this fashion if Kasumi believes that their progression has ceased, and the most unthinkably evil can be prime students if they consistently show discipline towards whatever goals they have set for themselves. Kasumi does not discriminate based upon intention, only based upon one's commitment to the great work and to the discipline they instil in themselves as a result of their passion for their great work, be that world peace or the total destruction of mankind.

The Enjin-Rutsubo was forged from fire made physical and imbued with the properties of metal, rendering it completely immune to conventional metal-destroying methods and causing it to burn non-Masazane clan members that attempt to wield it, who will find the solid metal as nothing but fire. Objects can be placed within the crucibles, which will melt the object down into liquid form. There are very few objects that the crucibles cannot melt, and objects that it cannot melt are typically structurally damaged beyond repair. The crucibles are able to superheat earth in order to create lava, though the lava hardens extremely quickly due to the intense but brief heat. Each crucible contains an immortal, undying flame that is bound to the crucible with seals crafted into the Enjin-Rutsubo – these flames cannot be unleashed from the crucibles by any means, but heat can be expelled from the crucibles if they come into contact with a solid surface. Each crucible also contains an immense amount of pressure, which can be converted to physical force upon contact with physical objects – the amount of force and heat generated by the crucible coming into contact with an object are sufficient enough to severely damage the structural integrity of large buildings with no assistance. Most metal that comes into contact with the crucibles can be instantly and irrevocably melted and drawn into the depths of the crucible through special seals. Kasumi is able to call upon an enormous amount of molten metal at will and mould it to her will provided that it remains connected to the Enjin-Rutsubo. [b]Appearance:[/b] [/hider] [hider=Kessaku: Uchihonō][b]Name of Weapon or Item:[/b] Kessaku: Uchihonō [Masterwork: The Blaze Within] [b]Location:[/b] Masazane, Kasumi [b]Owner:[/b] Masazane, Kasumi [b]Rank:[/b] S [b]Description:[/b] Uchihonō is the second of Kasumi’s masterworks, a spiritual blade forged from Kasumi’s inner fire and proof of her worthiness to inherit the Forge of Souls. Uchihonō is comprised of two aspects, its physical sheath and the spiritual blade. When separated, the sheath binds the spiritual blade to Kasumi, causing it to steadily accumulate in power as it draws from her spiritual energy. When the blade is placed within the sheath, the blade assumes a temporary form of both spiritual and physical fire, allowing it to strike and bypass both the physical and the spiritual provided that the blade has gathered enough energy while extant of the sheath. The sheath of Uchihonō allows Kasumi to gather and contain Katon techniques that she has used that have either missed or whose effects linger on the field, and also allow her to gather Katon techniques used by her enemies, rendering their effects null. Any Katon techniques absorbed by the sheath provide the blade with heat. The blade of Uchihonō steadily gathers heat, the equivalent of a [url=http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Release:_Great_Fireball_Technique]Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu[/url] every ten seconds, and after sixty seconds of passively gathering heat will be able to combine with the sheath to produce a blade capable of performing three strikes before the blade loses all heat. When combined, Uchihonō proper is unleashed. The blade exists both physically and spiritually, allowing it to affect and bypass all things physical and spiritual that do not exert greater energy than Uchihonō. In this state, the physical and spiritual flames within Uchihonō are at their peak, affording them power equivalent to the strongest of the S-Ranked Katon techniques for the instance of contact with the blade. While the blade is combined, Kasumi’s Katon techniques use spiritual fire rather than normal fire.

The spiritual blade remains stationary until such a point as Kasumi directly interacts with it through her tether, but this serves as a focus for several of her kenjutsu and Katon techniques. If the copy meets the sheath, the copy will dissipate until the blade is unsheathed and swung. Whenever Kasumi uses a Katon jutsu, the spirit blade will use a spiritual copy of that jutsu at its location. Kasumi can control the direction of any launched jutsu in this fashion.

If the blade passes through an enemy, their spirit is marked with Uchihonō’s lingering essence until Kasumi strikes them with the blade, allowing Kasumi’s attacks with the completed blade to completely negate all chakra or spirit-based defences. When the blade reaches Kasumi, she draws it for a single strike, independently of the blade’s heat generation. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

Creating the barrier consumes half of the blade’s heat, and cannot be used again until the blade has naturally fused with the sheath. If used while Uchihonō has naturally recombined, the negative effects of this jutsu are not applied. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

If the tempest created by the blade and the sheath overlap, Kasumi immediately combines the blade and sheath as if the blade had reached its maximum heat. Tanren can only be used once every five minutes. [b]Weakness:[/b] Interpret it yourself.

The kinetic energy released by the blow is equivalent to that of chakra-enhanced strength, and can even shatter metal. If Kasumi strikes the ground, the heat within the crucible is released, turning the ground in a six foot radius around the blow into lava. The lava persists for a few seconds before hardening.

Anything hit by the crucible will take a blow equivalent to double the force of chakra-enhanced strength and, if flammable, will burst into flames. If Fukutsu no Hi hits the ground, Kasumi channels the flame of the crucible to cause the ground to erupt upwards in a six foot radius circle in an enormous torrent of flame.

An immense shockwave (travelling at thirty feet per second) is released within a sixty foot line of the point of impact that, upon contact with an individual or object of sufficiently large mass, melts the ground into lava and immediately hardens it as it is shot upwards with the force of multiple uses of chakra-enhanced strength. Enemies hit by this technique are launched into the air at a 45 degree angle with enough force to send them flying for several miles. Additionally, targets hit by this technique burst into flames due to the sheer heat unleashed by the technique. Note: They are not wearing safety goggles at the time.
