Tengoku himself was in his prep room. He could feel Roen within him. Stirring as he cycled through his chakra. It's seal was strong enough to contain it so it was barely rousing from its sleep but even it could feel the tension. Tengoku was prepared for this fight. He had taken every measure and trained as much as his body could allow. He sat there on the floor in the center of the room with his eyes closed. He could feel the chakra surging within him as he found himself pushing away his nerves. She was a potent woman and a student he had trained personally. It was possible that she had surpassed him....it was why he had chosen her to take over as he retired. He wanted a quiet life where he simply trained others and didn't worry about politics or other matters of state. Martial arts was his passion and he would still defend the village. Both foreign and domestic he would put down any threats to their peace. For now though he needed to be prepared. He would delve into his mind as he knew he would be using Roens power for the first time.
Within his mind was a forest. Thick with vegetation and vines hanging from trees. At first when he opened his eyes he thought he had been transported. But he knew where he was....he knew why he was here. A gust of hot wind shifted through the forest one way and then the other....a breath exhaled and then drawn in from a mighty being. He knew what direction Roen was in even without it. His black and gold eyes shifted as he seemed to move without walking through the forest. Tree's whipped around him before he stood in front of a cave. This cave was massive with the shape of an open canine jaw. Just enough to see within. Not enough to let the creature free. The structure was solid as was the seal for now. Still he would stop outside of it. He knew Roen was within. Stirring from his slumber. He knew Roen could feel him...and yet the wolf only stirred and barely opened an eye. It's bright green shining through the darkness through a half lid. Still it would growl lightly in warning to the human so close to it. Yet Tengoku would speak to it.
"It's Roen right? I am the one who tapped into your power...I apologize for waking you...but this is going to be a pivotal moment for an entire nation....my student is going to attempt to surpass me today and I don't want to disappoint her. I am preparing for this fight and I will likely be utilizing your power too. That said...I have good news. I know you like your sleep so if we do well here...if you lend me your power today we get to retire. That means less often I might utilize you. That said she has a potent amount of chakra for you to feed on....So wake up yeah?"
Tengoku would finish as he would watch the green eye fully open. A shift could be heard as the cave seemed to rumble. Now two eyes would look to him with a snarl. He had promised it food and that was the one thing that would rouse it from its sleep. Still it would speak in a rumbling tone. Yet he could not see more than its eyes in the darkness of the cave. "Feed me mortal and I will stand with you this once...but I do not submit so easily."
With that Tengoku would open his eyes. He was back in his prep room. Alone again as he felt the chakra surging within him. He would rise from his seat as he would begin to dress. Tying his hair back in a pony tail first. Then Putting on the golden rings around his wrists, ankles, and upper arms. He was wearing a black gi with no arms. His feet were adorned with black shinobi shoes and a sleeveless black cloak with golden lining would adorn his shoulders down to his knee's. He would pull a pair of plated gloves over his hands before moving onto his weapons. Airi was too potent to take lightly. He would place his Katana Kuroikiba Alpha on his left waist. Feeling the senju wood hilt a moment before moving onto placing Tengoku Kaeri no Ken under it in the traditional samurai style. On his right waist would be a heavy quiver with forty arrows in it. Each arrow reforged from chakra draining metal and barbed. Before he picked up his bow however he would form a tiger seal and in a puff of smoke another him would appear. A shadow clone splitting his chakra in half. It would nod before settling in the waiting area and beginning to gather sage chakra. He would need it to extend his sage mode.
With that Tengoku would pick up soulstring in his right hand and unfurl it. Exiting the waiting area as they opened the barrier for him. The announcer would announce the Paladin of Konoha had entered the arena and was looking fully prepared for this battle. Quietly he would reach out his sensory and feel out for Airi. Even as he did he would focus on the golden rings. He wouldn't wait to have this match start for his armor. In a flash of movement the feathered gold rings would unfurl and coat his arms and shins in a golden feather armor. Much to the roar of the crowds approval. His black and gold eyes would shift to the stands as he saw the majority of the upper staff for the administration building. Including his advisory staff. They were here to see how powerful his choice for his successor was. Not that they had a choice in it but he wanted them to fully support her. So they would need to see her strength. He only hoped he was enough to help her reach new heights.

Description: The Shadow Clone technique creates replicas of the user, similar to the Clone Technique, but these clones are corporeal instead of illusions. Clones spawn next to the user. The clones are capable of performing techniques, including the Shadow Clone Technique itself, on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after hit by a strong enough force. The clones can also disperse on their own or be dispelled by the user of the technique. This technique splits the user's chakra equally amongst however many clones they create.
Weaknesses: In addition, the user must maintain general concentration to maintain their clone's presence. If at any time the user is inflicted with heavy damage in contrast with their Constitution all clones will be dispersed. Also the user must not fall under the exhaustion threshold (below 30 CP) to maintain or create clones. Clones have a max base Constitution of C (or lower if the user's base constitution is lower). If the user has natural S-Tier Constitution then it can be improved to B. If a clone has lower than 30 chakra, they will also be subject to the exhaustion penalty as per the Stamina rules.
