I soon found myself completely alone on the deserted beach, with the only signs of life being set off in the distance ahead. Apparently there was a mythical beast of some sort housed on this island, but honestly, I had no care for it. I came solely to aid the Tsuchikage, who had since left, and thus my reasoning was shot.

I'd turn toward the gourd my now crystalline adversary had carried to give it an examining glare. I remembered it being full of sand, which seemed like a worthless thing to carry, but it's craftsmanship made it well worth confiscating. I'd seamlessly string together a set of handseals that would birth a single replica of myself, a Fire Clone, that I commanded to acquire the contraption. Kneeling down to shove his arms through the straps, he mounted it onto his back before we both took off toward the south end of the island; our destination, Tsuchi no Kuni.

Hotarubi continued flying over the sandy ground below, her thoughts no nothing more than the prize at the end of the trail. she had a long way to go still, but she was more than confident she'd be one of the first if not the first to step on the scene. That would be when the true battle would start.

Admittedly the trek to Sanbi was becoming quite tiresome, the only adrenaline truly constant being the danger of an adversary attacking the pair as they travel. The two kept their heads swiveling to the other island-inhabitors constantly: the bird, the shinobi behind them, and the skirmish that had occurred some moments before. One of those shinobi had turned into a solid structure, the other seeming to leave altogether. Akio wished he had actually paid mind to the conflict simply to see the means they had arrived to this end.Their objective remained the same however, reach the Sanbi. The bird was still above them, a slight behind, and by now they expected to at least be getting modestly closer to the Tailed Beast itself.

'Got damn it doesn't seem like this is going to turn out to be too much of anything.' The Kaguya hadn't made too much progress towards the target. He started to have second thoughts on attempting to take on the rather large scale beast with his current arsenal, 'I guess I'll just return to the village.' He thought to him self as he would turn away from the best attempting to make his exit to head back to his village.

Continuing her brisk pace, Hotarubi decided to swoop downwards, just close enough so that she could see if there was anyone worthwhile trekking below, cause things up high were she currently reigned, was becoming boring. She didn't have the resources to have fun, with only enough to fuel this one task, she was really hoping on cashing in big, afterall she still owed Oume from the Inn. Sighing, she saw nothing, but sand, and more sand, with the occasional rolling tide sweeping by. No caring she returned high above to her orginal peak, eyes still set foward upon the sanbi.

What the hell was that?

Adrianna froze instantly in her tracks, mid-step. She hadn't been traveling for long, perhaps only a few minutes, when she saw the bird.

It was in the distance, just a mere speck across the pink and blue backdrop that was the evening sky. It would have been hard to pick out for most people, but Adrianna had an innate attention to detail regarding such sights. It took only moments for her observe the object and figure out what she was looking at.

C1. The Getaway Bird.

There was no doubt about it. The size, the shape, the bone-white color. The way its movements replicated those of a living thing, but were subtlety off. Adrianna knew all about the iconic Kibaku-Nendo technique that allowed its craftsman to soar across the sky. She knew about it because she could perform the technique herself. It was in fact one of the first Kibaku-Nendo arts her father had taught her when she was a child. The ability to gain third dimension over your opponent, he often said, was a key advantage in any battle. He hadn't been exaggerating. Many a Shinobi has voluntarily surrendered rather than attempt to tangle with an airborne Kibaku-Nendo, dropping bombs like an attack-plane from hell.
The clay-bird was too far away for Adrianna to make out the identity of its rider. The only thing that she could discern was that it was drifting lazily North, not quite in her direction but close to it, if its trajectory was any indication.

As she'd traveled closer to the center of the island, the foliage and greenery surrounding her had gotten ever thicker, to the point where she was now immersed fully in jungle. Adrianna assumed that her position was more than concealed by the vegetation, but all the same she'd opted to stand stock-still and do her best to not catch the flier's attention. Even with the trees and leaves creating a canopy of cover around her, Adrianna couldn't be sure that her cousin up in the sky wasn't possibly armed with some kind of optics-enhancing gear. He might be packing thermal binoculars, in which case he'd probably already seen her before she'd even noticed his presence. The possibility made her wonder if going on the offensive would be a good idea. Despite the high-mobility gained by flying on the bird, being essentially stuck on a floating platform a hundred feet up also made you a target. From their current distance from one another- the bird was at least a mile away- Adrianna doubted she could hit him, but if she got closer...

No.

It was a tempting notion, but, as always, the mission came first. Her mentor had been very clear on how she should handle potential threats. She wouldn't fire unless fired upon- it was that simple. And besides, the thought of killing her own family, even extended family, wasn't an idea that she relished. No, for now she would simply avoid the flier until he became a problem. She'd deal with the matter then.

Adrianna resumed her trek, now moving at a much slower, and cautious, pace. Whereas before she had been traveling flat-out, speed her main priority, now she darted from tree-to-tree, using the foliage as cover to conceal herself from her airborne cousin.

Her ears perked for any sound of danger, and with one eye on the sky and the other on the path ahead, the Sand-Shinobi pressed forward.

The strip of island was quickly becoming a memory of it's former length and Akio and Tama continued to steadily traverse the sandy beach.The bird is front of them had for whatever reason dipped to earth but for a moment before rising again. They chose to stay behind it, by just about five meters, letting its rider take a slight lead. Behind them they noticed quickly that the other shinobi had apparently fallen out of contention for the Tailed Beast, leaving only the two, the rider, and the unknown presence in the forest ahead.

The forestry was become much closer. The trees tight enough to constrict the bird's continued movement should it's rider continue onwards with it. Though Akio and Tama paid little mind besides keeping some attention on any suspicious activity around them. Heads still scanning their surrounding area, they moved forward.

NPC: All distances, regardless of your previous posts, have been alternated. With just the three of you left, you are all now no more than fifteen meters away from each other. Exar, I'm not really sure what you've been doing this entire thread, but you're on the beach now.

The three of you are exactly fifty meters from the center of the island (the Sanbi). However, only one of you will be able to proceed forward. So, don't waste your time trying to move toward the center any further. Fight to the death or exit; it's your decision.

There'd only be one

With the moderately sized clay bird swooping close to the sandy beach below, Hotarubi could feel the powerful chakra of the sanbi that perforated the air. It was a bitter sweet feeling, which electrified the maiden of destruction. Spotting two others who were no doubt in conquest for the illustrious power that lay dormant, sleeping within the center of the island, she decided to dispose of any and all opposition that might oppose her meal ticket. She'd have her bird rear upwards, overhead the man upon the ground whilst reaching into her pouch and feeding clay to her left hand.

"The black sheep is here to claim your lives, escape is futile!"

Announcing herself amongst the whiplash from the speed of her clay creation she'd be sure to keep her distance from the other person who possessed the same abilities as she. It'd been a long time since she'd faced off between someone like herself, but she'd be able to strengthen her own resources if they were killed with haste. Hotarubi's lips curled, her creation was done so now, the games would began she thought. opening her palm she'd reveal four odd creatures of the sky. They were small; however, the force they packed was quite deadly.

All the while she palmed an item that'd obscure anything within its influence. Setting off she swooped downwards towards the man upon the ground, she was roughly ten meters above his head now and only 8 meters away before she'd pass by him. He'd be the first to go.Then, it'd be a sky battle between two shinobi who wielded pure destruction.

They had reached the epitome of their destination. Sanbi. The Three Tails of legend lay in dormant state not but fifty meters away, just barely visible, but the power radiating from the center of the long beach was almost palpable, nearly making the air thick and difficult to breath. Of course, he was not alone. Accompanied by his mercenary he had paid quite the price for, as well as another sole occupier of this island, the rider who had gallantly hovered upon the air to their current destination while every other contestant was dead or had fled the island. There were only these three now, and Akio knew for many dozens of meters that were would only be one victor to this prize. A winner and a loser. As it always would be, and this very opponent would not have wasted her time travel to come to reason with him, nor he with her, as if she had intended to be diplomatic, they would have already negotiated.

The Hunger Games had begun.

Even at their fifteen meters distance, the sparse distance that had to be traversed between the two of them, Akio could see her clothing a near match to the white bird she rode upon. At some point on their travel the bird had grounded, and they looked to each other signifying that this would be the beginning of the confrontation.

Tama, "The Hatter", his Archer, stood to Akio's left, at five meters away. Obviously feeling the tension even at his young age. The boy was skilled no less, ready for the battle, and wondering of what travesty would transpire afterwards as that seemed the only promise, further destruction. His bow still gripped within his hands, and his arrows at the ready, he was prepared.

Akio himself was of course still equipped with all he had come with having not to spare any expense at any other enemy. A sword slung to his hip on each side, his armor glistening, and his chakra burning with passion as the Seal of the Bladed Warrior (unable to be turned off) raged within him, and prepared to be at the ready. His muscles tensed, heart raced, and eyes narrowed at the upcoming battle.

She began speaking. Loud enough, aggressive enough, to be heard at his fifteen meter distance:

"The black sheep~"

[/right]

"Fire at will"

Only to be interrupted by Akio's own words to his mercenary that came as barely a whisper. She was too far to hear his words. They were subtle, as his eyes remained on the unnatural bird and rider, but Tama had heard and both of their intents were deadly.

SPOILER: Click to show

Kouguchi Bakuha (Evil Hand-Mouth Possession)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: --
Special: Determines the power placed behind the clan member's clay explosions when a hand-mouth is molding clay in preparation for an explosion, as well as the range the bombs can travel away from the user before automatically detonation; explosion range varies by technique. When first learned, bombs can travel up to 10 meters away, plus 10 more with each new rank acquired. These creations, unless stated otherwise, move at a maximum speed of two meters per second. All techniques, unless specified otherwise, require one "glob" of clay in order to be created.
Description: Said to be the clan member's most gross yet most fundamental power, the ability to control one's hand-mouths is the key towards victory or defeat on the battlefield. With the hand-mouth open and ready for clay, the user learns to feed it and near-instantly send their Bakuton chakra into their creation, carried by how well they can control Blast chakra. However, after a second or so, the hand-mouth spits out the user's full representation of explosive power within their clay creation, allowing the Kibaku-Nendo to proceed further with other clan techniques. As for detonation? Through the simple formation of 'Katsu' - the single seal that symbolizes standard explosive note blasts everywhere.
Domain: Kibaku-Nendo.

They allowed the bird it's slow rise for a moment, and well as the movement forward, closing in its fifteen meters. They allowed her to close in to ten meters, rising a total of about five meters, before attacking, a movement that in itself took over three seconds.

From Akio's left hand sprung a total of five kunai. They would fly through the air, interspersed to include two kunai aimed to the bird and rider, and three covering the area to the left and right of the bird. Small, yes, and quiet dodgable should the rider posses the agility to do so in sufficient time, as they moved at about eight meters per second, reaching the target in less than a second.

The true assault came from the boy in luscious clothing to Akio's left, who had his bow arced and targeted squarely on the opponent. A plethora of arrows in his right hand nocked in his bow allowed for the upcoming onslaught the kind that typical Archery would not include. Their opponent would be undoubtedly surprised.

The bow let loose six arrows in a loud burst, the exertion reducing the range of the projectiles but none the less encompassing the bird and rider. The most notable arrow being the one encompassing a blast of water that would hopefully disturb the rider's performance as it was squarely aimed to the rider's body. The other five being regular projectiles which would hopefully cut at the rider should she fall from her aerial throne.

Both of her opponents, all four pupils, would remain on Hotarubi awaiting her reaction, expecting the worse. Akio knew of ninja. Knew of their tricks, their trivial pursuits, their unnatural powers: this bird being among them. To his mind, the defeat of this one ninja, to protect the Three Tails from an unnatural harnessing and being used for further destruction would save thousands of others spanning the entire world. This was not a matter of decision. It was a matter of duty.

Type: Secondary / Melee + Ranged
Special: 2 per Pack.
Description: This throwing knife is one of the common weapons of a ninja. It is often kept in a holster on the leg in a pouch attached to the belt. What makes it so versatile and universal is the fact the Kunai can be used in conjunction with explosive tags and other weapons to form deadly combos out of simple, easily accessible items.

Type: Supplementary / Juuinjutsu (Seals & Barriers)
Range: -
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special: Essentially doubles the Samurai's chakra capacity when activated by opening their chakra pathways, in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontonkou (although less barbaric). However, because of this, it prevents Samurai from molding chakra finely in terms of jutsu, making handseals and whatnot useless due to the sudden chakra rush. Upon being accepted as a Samurai, this seal is place on the user. Cannot be bought and instead must be RP'ed out as part of the Samurai's initiation.
Description: The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is usually placed on the chest.

Her approach was quick and her an more than full proof. Eyes privy to the young lad who stood beside him as he'd knock several arrows; however, before they'd be released in the moment she hit the threshold of ten meters she sent one of her creations spiraling off in front of her to disrupt anything in her path. "Katsu!" Igniting the clay bird a small, powerful, explosion would impact all incoming projectiles three and a half meters away that sought Hotarubi's demise and surely the force would alter the path of anything else that threatened her as well as quickly evaporate the surprise water because of the smoldering heat produced.

With the other three close by following her she reared the bird down, ducking her head, she'd in the brief momentary lapse of sight created by the small three meter smoke cloud drop the light bomb she'd already been holding while at the height of eight meters above the two unwary foes. Their positions were set to memory prior and her creations were already sent flying while the flash bomb was dropped. Hotarubi was sure eyes were on her, but using the veil of her own bombs to conceal dropping the flash bomb was her trump card versus the duo.
It'd all go bright

At eight meters high they flash bomb would go off once it was five meters overhead. Shooting upwards whilst the flash would go off, Hotarubi would be just out of the ten meter span of it, the light reaching the bottom of her bird. The three flying constructs would already be ready to thrash into them, once two of them got within five meters from the original eight, she'd form the single seal to ignite them into a fiery mass, meanwhile the solo creation left would remain amongst the billowing smoke, ready to take on any surprises. "Oh my did you both go boom!?" The girl would chuckle as she reestablished maintaining the higher ground.

Back at fifteen meters above the remnants of her onslaught, she gazed down with cold eyes, watching for any sudden movements.

Here began the trick, as all four pupils looked upon the bird and rider, another unnatural form took flight from behind her and took position in front. They had just enough time to see the single handseal and hearing the shout of "katsu" before the grandiose explosion. Akio, and The Hatters' eyes widened in reaction. They had both heard of exploding notes, common ninja tools. This however, was beyond that, a much harsher explosion that was made even though in a smaller radius.

"Away!"

[/color]

They both understood. Explosions of any kind were dangerous, but this? This was beyond a threat. Of course their series of projectiles were blown vastly off course, scattered haphazardly into the sand in the beach. The water inclusive arrow itself exploding in the air creating a mist along with the dark smoke of the explosion, leaving the area in front of Hotarubi hardly visible though they were sure she was moving forward. Akio wasn't even sure that this his famed armor would protect from this.

Here, the two combatants (Akio and his assistant) had something of a miscommunication. Akio himself turned around, and shunshin'd a total of ten meters away from Hotarubi in a near instant so that should Hotarubi continue forwards, she would be on a path towards him. Tama however would run forward, shunshining the same distance as Akio had. Both of their movements however would be masked by Hotarubi's smoke that had been created from her own bombs. The latter bombs would also detonate in the previous position, as the bomber had their positions "set to memory prior", but those positions were no longer accurate. The light bomb as well proving ineffective as both their backs were turned, and themselves being just outside of the range.

The duo would turn around the instant they escaped from their respective shunshins, noting her new position as she swooped just high of ten meters up with the smoke cloud trailing the unnatural bird behind her.

They'd begin a renewed assault. Tama pulling back his bow hardly a second after turning. The bow itself would release an arrow invisibly, traveling twice the normal speed (26mps) to the back of the rider. Akio himself would be less harsh. More tactical being more familiar with war and battle. With the raging chakra in his system built and ready to go, techniques at the ready, he opened his arms wide and shouted a challenge to his opponent.

"Oh my did you both go boom!?"

[/right]

"COME ON!"

[/color][/left]

The response escaping from his lips, the challenge for his opponent to bring him down, challenging her abilities, doubting her strength, something he was sure any ninja would attempt to defy as many thought themselves superior to the "outdated" Samurai. Akio even believed this, at least in this case, with the opponent's clearly deadly bombs. But he wouldn't allow himself to lose.

Special: Essentially doubles the Samurai's chakra capacity when activated by opening their chakra pathways, in a somewhat similar way to Hachimontonkou (although less barbaric). However, because of this, it prevents Samurai from molding chakra finely in terms of jutsu, making handseals and whatnot useless due to the sudden chakra rush. Upon being accepted as a Samurai, this seal is place on the user. Cannot be bought and instead must be RP'ed out as part of the Samurai's initiation.
Description: The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is usually placed on the chest.
Domain: Samurai.

Distracting Blow[100]
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Taijutsu / Kendo
Range: 0-5 Meters
Chakra: High
Special: A movement of once sword, generally a feint or embellished gesture that causes the target to become momentarily distracted. This distraction is characterized by a lack of focus on the user for just one moment. Such a distraction could also be caused by a vocal cue from the user if relevant to the situation. Only usable on targets of equivalent rank to the users highest known rank of Cunning Mind.
Description: Sun in your eye, thorn in your foot, hey look over there, all of these take the opponents eyes off the target for just long enough to get that one good strike. By tapping them in the right place or embellishing just right, even calling out something to grab their attention, the user can make this distraction take place. Distractions generally only last a few seconds, though that’s usually more then enough.
Domain: The Gentleman’s Art, Cunning Mind “B”

They'd barely escape, both figures appearing well out of the area where the smoke gathered; however, the archer boy wouldn't be as lucky. Having moved forward he'd be caught by the single flying creation having run directly into it since he failed to move to the side because of it heading for his original position. Because of that it'd explode taking the young boy with it tearing him apart from the explosive prowess it contained. It seemed saving one for any unpredicted circumstances had played in Hotarubi's favor. Now there was only one left.

Reaching into her clay packs, she'd began feeding her hand mouths chakra as they'd started to mold her creations. "This ends now!" She was certain more troubles would await her at the sanbi and depleting her only source of offense was not wise in slightest, so she was determined to finish him with her next special batch. Having created four more bombs as she made her way towards her opponent she'd kept one hand concealed, still closed as it contained burrowers of the earth. Opening the other she'd let the odd winged creations hover around her. One to her left and right.

Smiling at his attempt to get under her skin, she admired spunk, but in his case, he'd only be offer a even swifter death. Just twelve meters away from him she sent her bombs flying off while dropping the ones created in her closed hand behind her they'd land upon the ground, seeking refuge beneath the surface. Spiraling off towards the samurai they simply went for a direct assault, while Hotarubi herself watched while hovering just ten meters above the ground and twelve away from him. It was almost as if she were taunting him with the wicked smirk upon her lips.

Things had come to a head. It truly was the endgame. Adrianna couldn't be sure how many people had been on the island alongside her all this time, but apparently her and these two individuals were the only two remaining.

And thus the challenge. A samurai and a distant cousin. She was loathe to assault either, honestly. Even this far into her mission, she would have preferred to avoid as much unnecessary bloodshed as possible. Adrianna wondered if she might be able to talk her way out of the situation... and then her decision was made for her.

"The black sheep is here to claim your lives, escape is futile!" It was an obvious threat, which narrowed down Adrianna's options considerably. If her warmongering cousin wouldn't allow her to leave this place alive, than Adrianna would have no choice to go on the offensive. Perhaps she could negotiate with the Samurai afterwards- in her experience they tended to be less volatile than Shinobi.

Her bow clenched tightly in her hand, Adrianna surveyed the situation for a few moments. Her Kiabku-Nendo familiar seemed intent to focus on the Samurai and his raggedy-looking cohort. That suited her just fine.

Her flying target swooped down upon the samurai and his archer companion, dropping what appeared to be a little canister. It exploded in a bright light, though Adrianna was too far away to feel its debilitating affects. Moments later, the girl dropped several began another assault shortly after that, which the Samurai attempted to defend against. This was her opening.

Adrenalin flooded through Adrianna's veins as she kicked her body into overdrive. With a prodigious burst of movement, her hands mere blurs, she reached behind her and drew 5 arrows from her quiver. Her gentle but strong fingers easily gripped the wax textures as she nocked the arrows in her bow, aimed, and fired.

The quintuplet assault speared through the air toward her sky-borne opponent, each one spaced apart at roughly two meters, with the center arrow aiming directly for the rider's chest. To many ranged fighters, hitting a flying target was difficult to bullet-lag, but to a master archer such as herself, leading the target was no trouble at all.

In less than one second, Adrianna repeated the action- drawing another 5 arrows and loosing them at her prey, spacing them two meters apart with the center crosshair'd on her chest. With this volley she compensated for any additional movements or jinks the rider might have made.

In less than three seconds, ten arrows were sent flashing toward her opponent in waves of 5. The action done, she rested her fingers on a single bone-white wrapped arrow, preparing herself for a killing blow, if necessary.

I've been made aware that my right to continue posting in here is being contested due to requesting to be skipped yesterday. If that's the case, see the OOC thread for my defense.
