His eyes were fixated upon a small object that was just shy of a normal man's body size within an opening in the cave. Both pupils were narrowed while darkness flowed around portions of his face like a encroaching mist clinging to the surface of dawn. He understood the primary nature of his training mission to be performing a stealth kill successfully upon the training dummy but the problem was that being that this was tasked by his Overseer, Oyochi was positive something was hidden as a trap. Tightening the muscles within his jawline, Oyochi's head swiveled within the dark shadows of the cave wall that he was semi-permeable in for a potential vantage point. There was without a doubt the notion that he would have to get within a closer range simply because his shadow manipulation itself was just now under his control and as such he had no real proficiency with controlling it, Placing his palms together, his fingertips would weave through the handseal combination rapidly causing his body to begin sinking into the very rock he clung to. It was now that there was an appreciation for his own talents in mastering certain jutsu as he had a natural skill when it came to doton based jutsu and as such it would truly help him in this case. Moving through the earth was something that required a finessed approach and photo-memory of the area, particularly because while within the rock he had no outside visual sense to rely on to pinpoint his location. Hair would slowly rise upwards through the rock as if it were made of water and before long the unique serpent eyes which Oyochi were born with once again regained their sensory function, once again capable of scanning the area. The distance between the training dummy and himself was now only a hundred feet or so, and luckily his position was right between the crevice of two large boulders. With his eyes being the only part of his head which was surfaced, the gaze held by his eyes was one of shear concentration as slithering within the darkened cavern was an extension of his shadow. It snaked it's way through the area, melding with other shadows as to prolong it's own reach and before long the chakra infused shade would begin wrapping around the base of the dummies support system. This initial grasp would split into three tendrils which resembled snakes made from the shadows which would immediately coil around the training dummies limbs, binding it in place. His eyes would once again submerge themselves beneath the rock and within a few seconds his body would rise from the earth behind the dummies back, the glimmer of a kunai knife shown within his palm before a simple horizontal cut pierced the area of the neck. With the assassination completed the trap placed by the Overseer was triggered immediately following physical contact with the dummy as behind Oyochi a sudden expulsion of smoke symbolic to summoning scrolls could be seen...
