The next day, Simon was escorted to a small training field by Kakashi Hatake. A slender man with silver, gravity defying, hair.

One eye and most of his face were covered by mask and headband.

Once at the training field, there were a few dozen people standing, obviously to watch this unknown visitor fight. Among them were several clan heads, most notably Hiashi Hyuuga, who watched with mild interest after the hokage's description of 'pure madra'.

"Well I feel like the prettiest girl at the dance, who am I crossing fists with?" Simon asked. His eyes, normally black, were blood red and his energy felt far more dangerous.

Kakashi sighed, "You'll be fighting Guy first, then me. To test your taijutsu and ninjutsu or genjutsu."

Simon cocked his head, so Kakashi continued, "Your physical abilities verses your spiritual techniques."

Simon nodded, "Sounds like a plan and a half, who is Guy?"

"YOOOOUUUUTH!" The aforementioned jonin in green yelled as he flew in with an axe kick.

Simon took the hit on his forehead and his knees buckled slightly.

He returned the blow with a punch so powerful a shockwave scattered dust and frightened several onlookers.

Guy flew back like he'd been shot from a canon, he hit a tree and continued straight through until he hit a boulder so hard it broke around his body.

Guy put a hand up to his chest and coughed, "That's some amazing power you got there, Mr. Sage... but you're no match for the power of YOOOOUUUUTH!!!"

Guy exploded into motion, so fast only the jonin in the crowd could even see him. Simon grinned and met him halfway.

Green energy exploded out of Guy and his speed and strength were multiplied.

A punch rocked Simon's head back, a bit of blood dripping from his nose, so he dug deeper and activated his burning cloak.

The whites of his eyes turned black, and black ethereal flames danced over his skin.

This time they threw a punch each, creating a second far stronger shockwave. Guy jumped back smiling brightly and shaking his obviously broken fingers, "I wanna spar again sometime, maybe next time we can both go all out?"

Simon shrugged, "Maybe. I didn't really get to use anything but the cloak, dragons breath and dragon descends are a bit too lethal for sparring matches."

Kakashi stepped up, then uncovered his other eye, revealing a blood red eye with three black tomoe, "I'm probably going to need this to match you."

"You're not gonna match me, but do your best." Simon replied, then the oppressive power he was giving off flipped 180 degrees to a cool stillness. His eyes lost their black and red Visage, changing to a bright pure blue with white pupils, and his face relaxed.

Hiashi's mouth dropped as the man sank into an old Hyuuga stance from the clan library. No one used that stance anymore because of the raw physical strength and Chakra level required for it. How did this visitor know it.

Hiashi supposed the clan could've gotten the stance from anywhere, but if he were using that stance, then that meant this man may could use the empty palm of legend.

Kakashi brought his hands up and started flipping through handsigns fast enough his fingers were a blur. Chakra gathered in Kakashi as he wove together the strongest fire ball technique he knew, but Simon thrust his palm forward.

All the Chakra Kakashi had gathered was blown from the technique, spiritual pain landed through Kakashi but he remained standing, if only barely.

"Sorry, I thought you were far enough back to not hurt you, I just planned on blowing the ma- sorry  Chakra in your technique away." Simon said as he put his hands up, "I'm still learning the pure madra techniques. I can use the soul cloak too, I haven't figured out the Hollow domain yet."

Ethereal pure power gathered around Simon's skin and he seemed to move from his spot to Kakashi in a blink, a seemless move. "It grants better speed, strength, and reflexes, along with making my moves more efficient and fluid, but sadly lacks the explosive strength and speed of the burning cloak."

Then it faded and he held his hand out for Kakashi, who took it. Simon pulled him into a forearm grip, "I'd comtend you'll feel better in a few minutes."

Everyone stared on in disappointment at the battle except Hiashi, he looked on in awe. Armed with that move the Hyuuga could be unstoppable! How would he get Simon to teach him, and conversely the clan, that technique?

Hiruzen used a body flicker technique to appear next to Simon, "I'm actually impressed, you man. You possess formidable abilities."

"You should've seen my dad, the Sage of twin Stars, he killed the dreadgods before I was born." Simon chuckled, "I can't wait til I'm that strong, but I'm on track I think. Dad was nineteen before he was an Overlord, I'm only eighteen."

Hiashi head the eighteen bit and wondered if he could get someone fron the clan betrothed to him.

"He sounds incredible." Hiruzen agreed, though he didn't know what a dreadgod was. "I'm going to put it to a vote, should we allow Simon Arelius to stay in Konoha as an ambassador for the Blackflame Empire?"

Hiashi readily agreed, "I believe I speak for all of us when I say that Simon would be a wonderful addition to the village."

The other heads also agreed and Simon bent over his fists, "Gratitude."
