Tenzoukuro Kekkaiaka, pt. 1

"Baka."

As his own seals had been formed, timed so that once the shuriken made contact they'd already be complete, his opponent did something rather odd. He'd moved to the opposite side of the bone, preparing his own handseals the entire time, and completing them as the shuriken embedded themselves harmlessly into the bone just on the other side of where he hid.

BOOM.

The shuriken detonated. The explosion would engulf a six meter radius, including the boy who'd hidden behind the 'wall', assaulting him with the fires of hell, as well as sharp fragments of destroyed bone that would splinter through the Kekkai's body, splintering him as he tried to drop his palm to the now ruined surface of the bone, failing to summon anything but his own swiftly approaching death. The resultant shrapnel coupled with the explosion would be enough to kill the man on its own, but he'd also no longer have anything holding him in the air, and as the explosion rocketed outwards, Tenzou was already in motion, hands reaching into his pack and releasing projectiles in a swift motion that would catch the position where his opponents charred body would fall.

The boys body, falling through space with nothing to grab hold of and nothing to change his momentum, would be pierced by two kunai through his very heart, as they sailed forward through the confusion of the moment, chakra laced textiles adhered deftly to the racing steel. Now, twice dead, the boy would be skewered by true metal, the Tenzou's hands came together in seals once again, and he circled the perimeter of what was now, only the corpse of a snake.

Hatoronshi Bakuha (Crafting Paper Explosive Addition)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: D, C: Low; B, A: Mid; S: High.
Special: This technique allows the Shikigami to augment their paper jutsu with explosive properties. This is reserved for smaller techniques, such as the paper bunshin or paper shuriken. One technique may be augmented at a time. Multi-part techniques such as Paper Senbon only total out to 15 meters of explosive power total, meaning that each senbon blowing up next to eachother counts as a single explosion. The amount and size of the explosions is rounded down to the cleanest division.


D: 3 meter range
C: 6 meter range
B: 9 meter range
A: 12 meter range
S: 15 meter range


Description: As its name implies, the clan member is able to imbue their paper creations in the same explosive properties that ignite a regular exploding note, spreading the effect over across a mass amount of paper sheets. When combined with other clan jutsu, the explosive additions result in a truly terrifying offensive combination.
Domain: Shikigami. Hatoronshi no Kami.

2 Kunai Thrown
1. _____________

The shuriken he'd thrown....had not detonated at all. They'd not been charged properly, and would connect with nothing as the rest of his actions would progress seemingly without purpose. He'd been so ready to react to the boy's fall from the detonation, he'd thrown the two laced kunai at the area he'd assumed the boy would be, about half-way down shattered bone that was at this time, woefully still whole. The two kunai would slam into the bones surface stuck there, still at least eight meters away from the boy himself, at the same moment that his opponent would bite his thumb (having been thrown last turn). He'd become so used to the flow of battle, that he'd forgotten how sequential his actions could become, and lifting one hand to form the necessary seal, the other to reach into his pack and retrieve kunais once more, he would remind himself of why his clan had been called demons.

B-BOOM.

At the beginning of the boy's rush to form handseals, the kunai themselves would explode, not paper, but true metal, the combined explosive range of the two tags laced to their surface clearing a 10 meter radius with fire and metal shrapnel, shattering the bone pillar at its base and catching his foe on the outward edge of its total expansion, crumbling the makeshift 'wall' into rubble and sending his body downwards in timing with the throwing motion of Goryo's other hand, launching the two new kunai in the same pattern...to impact the boy's chest as he was in free-fall. But he would not remain in place. Once the initial blast was done, Goryo would carry himself forward at breakneck speed, eyes never leaving the boy's body, whose heart would catch the extra projectiles before it hit the ground as his hands rose in the formation of seals. He would attempt to close the distance between himself and the pierced body completely before he would come to a stop, as only 3 meters away, he watched chunks of bone the same size as his own body rain down behind his foe.

4 Kunai Used/ 2 w/Exploding Tags
1._______________ Prep

His opponent made yet another stupid decision. Reacting, apparently, to the sound of the kunai impacting the bone, the split second later that they'd explode would cause the base of the bone to splinter and break completely, as the explosion made to happen in timing with the beginning of the boy's seals. Of course, by his own distance being 15 meters up (according to you), and by trying to reach a distance of 25 meters (according to you), the running/jumping combination he'd attempt in order to cover that over 30 foot distance remaining, would still rob him of the very surface he struggled for in order to complete his summoning, because it would take longer to complete than the split second between the explosion going off and the base of the bone crumbling into nothing.

Which would still cause his body, attempting to jump and run and form handseals and summon a creature to still fall through the air, unsupported by anything. The tenzo would still close the distance between himself and his opponent, throwing kunai to catch the unaided body in its descent towards the ground, whose momentum it could not change, and he would still be pierced in the heart as the Tenzo viewed his opponent, and the falling surroundings of huge bones, as he neared him prepped for his own finish to the attack.

1._______________ Prep

His opponent seemingly failed to understand more than just timing, as [as previously mentioned] the Tenzo had used two kunai in the second throw as well as the first, reaching a hand out to grasp the ring of one in order to ensure it didn't impact his chest with too much severity, would still result in his heart being pierced completely through by the second. Seemingly switching tactics and performing a completely new set of handseals, the Tenzo's own previously charged energy would release a peppering of Shuriken formed from his own partially paper body to impact the boys body at the head, each arm, each leg, and dig even deeper into his chest with the final two, rooting him to the ground the instant he made contact with it. His flanking movements carried 8 meters away from the body and cloaked behind the large cover of a nearby bone out of the strange man's line of sight, his hands never stopping to form their own seals as he mused over the pathetic final smile of his seemingly dead opponent.

As an added note, you took the damage from the second kunai completely; as they were thrown together and aimed for your heart, that's already death and the jutsu you used only protects you from damage one rank less than that which you know the technique, (meaning you could avoid one D rank of damage with it), btw. If you use it, you can't perform the handseals, shed your old body, and then use that same body to stop the one kunai you did block from entering into your chest too deeply. Timing is just a bit wonky on that. Of course, by the time you hit the ground, the shuriken are hitting you at the same time, and I don't know where this idea that you can just remain 'hidden' in your old body comes from, but I'm fairly certain it doesn't work that way. Even if for some strange reason it does...you're already dead. GG.

Wings of paper would sprout from Goryo's back, birthed by chakra and carry him upwards and towards his foe, as the satisfying thunk of multiple shuriken piercing his opponents strange body with splatters of blood would be followed by the removal of his own nodachi, as he rose and descended in a graceful movement that brought his blade into and through his opponents throat, severing the head from the body completely. He retrieved it, wrapping it in a removed section of his own cloak as the paper shuriken dissolved back into his own flesh, and severed through each of the boys major limbs, dividing him into separate piles of legs and arms, and removed the boys heart from his chest completely. It was taxing work, but he knew of several people on the black market who would pay handsomely just to examine the man's body, and provided he contained some secret shinobi talent particular to his blood...well, the pay out would be marvelous indeed.

He wrapped the body parts separately in his own paper, ensuring that they'd be in the best condition possible to study, and picked up the young mans decapitated head with a scrutinizing grin. He plucked out what seemed to be the disrespectful Kekkai's only remaining eye and crushed it beneath his heal, before retrieving a single kunai, and making four swift marks on the forehead of the blankly staring lump of flesh.

He carved, oddly enough, the symbol of the Hidden Mist village.

The head would be kept separate from the body, a gift for Masuyo, and he would bring the parts and pieces of his enemy with him as he sorted through the remaining clothes, items, and money that were left in the Kekkai's possession. When he'd found everything of value down to the last ryo, he carried his new spoils, along with the body and head of the defeated, off into the surrounding desert. He had far to travel and much to accomplish in his time, but the weakling of a Kekkai had allowed his plans to progress a bit further after all.

Oh yes. The end was Nai.
