Leonus

[/color] ~ Relative[/size]

"You're even more beautiful in person."
[/right]

I had, had my doubts about Leonus and his claims of being Akegarasu, and though a peculiar soul, he was a most loyal cousin. "I appreciate the flattery my friend, however there is a favor I must ask of you." He remained kneeling before me, with hair as white as snow ~ an unnatural sight amongst our clan. Unlike him, I allowed a set of lacy fingers to sweep through my cascade of raven hair with the pride only a Kage could possess. In addition to my lovely sunset kimono and maroon katana, Masanori, two masked figures had accompanied me on my journey to meet with Leonus Akegarasu. They were blank personas ~ skilled anbu bodyguards with no motive other than protecting their queen. With sheathed blades strapped vertically behind them, they stood to my rear, silently observing as our meeting unfolded.

Our small group had assembled on a cliff-side overlooking the village; nestled secretly in a country surrounded by more mountains than the eye could see. It was sunset, which meant a pumpkin toned sky with willowy clouds passed by overhead. Along with the impressive alps , it made for quite the view ~ mother nature's final gift for the day. Any sort of breeze was barely present at this time of day; though the air at our altitude was refreshing enough to do without it.

"Of course, mi'lady. You only need ask."

[/right]

His devotion was admirable. I had gone though a lot of trouble the past few days searching for him. However, through various sources I had managed to find the boy in the Land of Water and summoned him here. It was a hope of mine that his talents as a shinobi measured up to his faith. As I mused over how to explain things to him I'd glimpse out and find comfort in the great beige outback I had been called to captain.


To rule was our clan's destiny.

I lean over the desk bringing myself closer to the receptionist noticing her taking in my features. I think to myself, Yes... quite intriguing isn't it? I've already committed to the charm, might as well pursue. She requests for the AnBu guard to escort me, and of course I understand protocol more than anyone. Allies or not, anything could happen right? Plus, I long since realized my appearance may emanate a sinister vibe. But before I leave I say, "You're lucky I'm not an Iwagakure nin because we both know I'd annoy the hell outta you hitting on you all day." With a wink, I'd respectfully follow the guard to the Kage. Being an AnBu myself, the tension when an unknown shinobi is in your company is second to none; I try to be as accommodating to his nerves as possible. Not speaking, just following.

A long trek expatriated the escort and I to a cliff that hung over the Village itself. A spectacular view to say the least, it vaguely reminded me of my jewel: Kumogakure. Cliffs and Canyons feasted upon our Village, every portion hung over some part of the Village. In such high altitude, the Lightning was impeccable which was how we assumed our name as the Lightning Country in the first place. My faithful bow was silent upon my back, fiending to be utilized. Along with various assortments of weaponry, the hike was not a breeze. I set my eyes on the prize of Iwagakure: The Tsuchikage, but she is not alone. Two AnBu stand vigilant at her side, willing to bid her will at all costs. Fortunately, I am not here for any other reason than to ascertain the standing of our two nations. Relationships meld into complicated things, as AnBu of Kumogakure I will ensure that the common complication is nonexistent. I bow graciously, taking in her divinity as I do so -and naturally, proceed to speak.

"Uchiha Fusion, AnBu and Chuunin of Kumogakure. It is an honor that you allowed yourself to be so accessible for a feeble pawn such as myself, Your Majesty. Let me make clear my business here. Our world crumbles before our eyes, what once was is no longer. Allegiances have been torn due to the war, enemies have linked arms and some driven further into a murderous hostility against one another. This much is obvious. I am here to announce that Kumogakure surely is none of the latter. Let it be known that we still uphold and consider Iwagakure as our perpetual ally and therein wish to fortify this bond. As a tribute to said alliance, to promote an alliance much more than a piece of paper with a few signatures on the dotted line, what can I do in benefit of Iwagakure to solidify our ties once and for all. Speak and let it be known."

Kneeling to conclude my request, I genuinely hope for a task to prove the validity of our allegiance. Though, through the body language my Sharingan expertly discerned I felt I just stepped into something much bigger than what I originally thought.

OOC: already filled you in about the whole NPC deal. Someone is posting after me so please wait.

Walking across the solid loam of Tsuchi no Kuni- namely on a rocky road with small boulders half the size of his own body scattered around and even in the road- Ju basked in the country's scenery. Such a messy and unorganized country, at least that was what Ju initially thought about the country once he crossed through the border some time ago. Ju walked along side his younger 'brother' while he concurrently stepped around and over the small boulders and rocks, sighing at the effort it took to simply travel down a simple road. Predating their arrival, both Takumi and Ju ascended a spiraling mountain which, oddly seemed to have led them towards a dead end (cliff).

Our small group had assembled on a cliff-side overlooking the village

Silently walking up towards and behind what seemed like a small gathering of people, Ju narrowed his eyes, interested in their affairs. With his Claymore still hoisted over his right shoulder, his grip tightened around its handle as his respective hand whipped out his BINGO book from his robe. He kept specific pages bent for easy access, namely profiles like Kage's or legends like Etsuko Soratsu and even Kirigakure's war hero Kouketsu Uchiha, after all, knowing the faces of his 5 main targets was a necessity for the mission.

"Bingo! Looks like we hit the jackpot little brother," Ju thought, thrumming with joy and confidence as his paces stopped about 10 meters from behind the group. The men dressed in ANBU attire stood around the woman, but not in a way where seeing her was impossible, even if it was just from a back-view. The ANBU dressed men was, without the shadow of a doubt, a dead giveaway to their status. Tsuchikage or not, that person was important, and that alone had been more then enough incentive for Ju. "Lets get this show on the road!" He thought and put his BINGO book away for the time being. With a single, one-handed seal, Ju summoned ten clone while screaming at the top of his lungs, "Kage Bunshin no jutsu!" Now, although they were simple academy bunshin, it was almost abnormal to come across an active shinobi who knew nothing of the fabled shadow clone technique. By overtly announcing said technique, the possibility of the group and even the woman believing that each clone was a with substance was very likely.

Nevertheless, Ju summoned a grand total of 10 bunshin's all of which surrounded the group in a full circle with enough space in between each of them for Ju to see the woman he was paralleled to. The circle of duplicates stood around the group from every possible angle, but, they also kept a 2 meter distance away from them on Ju's behest.

Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique)
Rank: Ex10 [50 Exp]
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Very Low
Special: Allows the user to create a clone without substance that resembles the user in every way, including retaining its movement speed. Clones cannot mold chakra nor perform jutsu, nor can they harm. Up to one clone can be made, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at the Ninja Academy. The Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja without substance that, although easily seen through by those with doujutsu, can fool the normal eye easily. Why? Simply because although without substance, the copy resembles the ninja in every way. This clone can function as a distraction or as means to confuse one's opponent, though no real damage can be done by it. Finally, as soon the Bunshin gets attacked or comes into contact with an opponent, it will disperse.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu

Takumi followed along side Ju quietly for much of their journey as they made their way across tsuchi no kuni. The land was strange but with guidance from his familiars the Aburame was never truly lost within the country no matter how far they traveled. It was a much better land to travel than Kaminari no Kuni, without being up in the mountains and in the freezing cold his kikaichuu were at the top of their game once more.

The pair of brothers soon came across a rather odd gathering of people including: a pair of ANBU, a boy with hair as white as snow, and a woman with long dark hair that stood well behind her ANBU that protected her. His brother wasted no time in retrieving his Bingo book and flipping through a few pages while looking across at the small crowd before again slipping the book away. It seemed they were noteworthy from their ANBU escort, but more than that Ju dispersed a gathering of clones surrounding the troupe and preparing to fight. If Ju decided to engage them, then it was possible the Tsuchikage was already before them or just some other high ranking shinobi of importance. Either way they had come to the end of their road and as Ju moved in to surround them Takumi began his own preparations.

He began to form hand seals quickly his hands flowing fluidly if not as rapidly as a veteran shinobi's hand seals. It would take some time to finish the jutsu but once he had completed it he would not likely have a need for any more hand seals during the fight. He hoped Ju could keep them 'entertained' for the rest of the duration and keep them from running. He would truly join the fight soon but for now preparation was far more important to the outcome of the entire battle than a slightly fast entrance.

[Jun]

Out of the blue a Uchiha appeared, introducing himself as a high ranking shinobi of Kumogakure. He too bowed before me and offered to aid my country in the strife that was soon to come. I gave both of the foreign allies a glance before withdrawing a sealed scroll and passing it on to my dear Leonus. In the meantime, the anbu bodyguards hadn't just remained idle bystanders; rather, they both surveyed the land for anything worth noticing. The asset in having beige as our nation's dominant back drop was that it easily gave away any approaching figures ~ namely a dark robed duo. "Mi'lady, we have strangers approaching." Yun warned, turning first his head over his shoulder, then the rest of his body to face the two attempting to ambush from behind. They were caught well in advance; a more suitable 25 meters at the least. "Looks like we'll have to talk another time." I said, addressing my cousin Akegarasu who was just then standing to leave. It was fine though ~ I had already left enough directions in the scroll I handed him.

"Yikes. . .you're right, I should get going."

[/right]

And with that Leonus claimed a quick view of the newcomers before dashing smoothly in the opposite direction down the uneven path. As he took off behind me I noted my surroundings, namely the canyon edge resting 20 meters to my left. Other than that my eyes remained glued on the mysterious wanderers while making occasional peeks over at my so called 'ally'. "Explain yourselves, now." Tarou spoke in a harsh tone, unwilling to put the life of the Tsuchikage at stake. That was the only caution he'd give, but if they'd listen I would offer a final chance at leaving intact. "Please leave, I don't want to harm you." I'd say from beyond my masked sentinels. Whether or not their clones had already came to fruition mattered little, for at their distance Yun could determine the genuine bodies before they stepped too close. And regardless of if the men attacked, the same blonde headed anbu would begin forming seals of his own.

I knew it! My sharingan predicted this. Well, sorta. I sensed that the Tsuchikage was a bit on edge, and my spidey-senses were tingling just a little when the Tsuchikage had a couple AnBu guards already at her wayside. I face these two -apparently - unwelcome visitors to give myself a bit of a synopsis, if you will, of the two. Though, it didn't take half a brain cell to understand that these two fine shinobi of... mmm' let me see here: the Hidden Mist, were not here to play patty-cake. Both retrieved their Bingo Books and began eyeing our party like two junkyard dogs staring at a bone just over a chain linked fence, practically foaming at the mouth. What the hell did I just get myself into? Both were tiny, but now that I have that stupid dog metaphor floating in my head I'll pull this redundant quote out of my ass -"it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." I won't underestimate these fellers.

It was clear these guys weren't going to explain themselves.

The first indication was pulling out the BINGO Book which is why I load my bow in the first place. Placing my two fingers on the string, while kiting my arrow with a chakra inscribed textile, I aim high and mighty at the two while distancing myself from Her Majesty 5 meters (no offense Umeko, you're radiantly beautiful and it tears me apart distance myself from you because I feel more beautiful just standing next to you, but we need some space). Arms stretched, old faithful slung, Sharingan pulsating, their first plan of action is to utilize some form of body motion which is a feast for my eyes as I can predict the first indicative quiver of movement. As soon as the hands rise [Takumi] to form a seal I instinctively react, releasing a singular arrow before his hands can clasp together. Pity, I truly do want to see what beautiful artwork is formed from your dance of fingers but I just can't trust you buddy. Silently whistling as it splits the air, the arrow projects forth at 6 meters per second aimed directly for the shorter dude's belly; however, it's concealed with an intriguing skillset which allows the arrow to be 50% less visible. I'm sure he won't notice it right away as 25 meter distance between us will surely be somewhat of a visual impairment in itself (let alone my foul trickery).

Special: Pierces Genjutsu 'B' rank and under. All Taijutsu 'B' ranked and lower become easily read, and thus, predictable. Finally, the 2nd Tomoe can keep up, comprehend and predict motion up to 8 meters per second. Keep in mind that regardless of foresight and prediction, in order to avoid incoming attacks, the Uchiha's speed, agility and RP ability will ultimately control whether they can move to avoid it.
Description: The next stage of evolution for the Sharingan involves two tomoe, improving upon the Uchiha's current skills and adding new ones. Amongst others, it allows the Uchiha to track the movement of an opponent and do some minor reading of an opponents attack, as well as pierce Genjutsu and see the surrounding reality for what it really is. While the eye is not refined enough to see the tenketsu and chakra circulatory system like the Byakugan, it can view the movement and flow of chakra, as well as lingering traces of foreign chakra. This can help them tell if a person is trapped in a Genjutsu, or if an attacker is a real threat or merely a bunshin.

OOC: You're fucking kidding me right? you can't just randomly place me 25 meters away like that upon entering. And even if you could, overlooking the village from a cliff means your back is turned (back facing away) looking towards the cliff. Obviously to get to said cliff, there is a path, a path that -according to your post- the GROUP as a whole was not facing, instead they were facing the cliff. If you haz problem call a judge. And again, since you are outside of the village, like Axcel said, you shouldn't be using ANBU NPC's the way that you are. Again, problem, call a judge. But even IF you could use NPC you aren't outnumbered, its a even match between PC characters, NPC just shouldn't be allowed.

Just like he planned, Ju stood ten meters from the group and summoned his slew of what he claimed to be shadow clones. Now, although these clones didn't carry any kind of physical substance they were, without a doubt, tangible. That meant that being surrounded in a circle meant that all they saw were a ring of duplicates. The fact that they ignored this matter of fact would have dampened their survivability rate significantly in the long run.

Placing my two fingers on the string, while kiting my arrow with a chakra inscribed textile, I aim high and mighty at the two while distancing myself from Her Majesty 5 meters

Worrying about himself for the time being, Ju move his claymore from his shoulder as brute strength he built up within his arm^{(less than 1.sec.)} just as the man distanced himself from the group / woman. Considering that all ninja moved at a universal speed of 3 meters per second, that one second it took to cover three meters had been more than enough time for Ju to "gather" his might. Less than a second after, namely by the time the man distanced himself with an additional 2 meters and stopped, would have been the moment when Ju's right arm swung forward in a horizontal fashion (right to left), presuming he wasn't interrupted. With his gathered might, that swing carried enough strength so that it released a horizontal, bladed beam that was no bigger than the claymore itself. Even though the clones lightly obstructed Ju's view of his opponent's as well, it wasn't hard to spot a moving target (Batman) out of the group.

If anything, the bladed beam was fired off just as the man released his arrow towards Takumi, however, it being fired off as he reached his 5 meter mark seemed more likely. It mattered very little unfortunately, evident by the fact that either way one looked at it, the arrow totting ninja had a horizontal bladed beam(laterally - roughly 2m. Long) twice the size of his own body heading his way. The attack transcended across the land (12mps) at blinding speeds, aimed towards his waist and ready to cut through him like a hot knife on butter. Now, despite it seeming to be a lot happening, all if this only happened within a few seconds at best (2-3), which ultimately would have left Ju to gather even more power as chakra began to swell within his entire body, heating him up from the inside.

SPOILER: Click to show

Might be a shit post cuz i was a little heated but w.e.

• Considering that I successfully surrounded you all with academy bunshin that you CANNOT see through, it'll be quite difficult to even see the blade beam in itself (given that it was fired off at the waist below eye level). Additionally the blade beam itself is near invisible (yes it says so in the description) so knowing the attack is coming is unlikely -since it isn't chakra either but raw, physical power-with the end result being quite obvious.

Stamina: Very Low - Very High ---> High
Special: Highest rank known determines strength of charge, as well a charge time. Bonus damage calculator - add the base rank of the Ju Kenshi's sword plus any bonus it brings, PLUS the highest rank of this technique. The user can determine which rank they want to use, but it must be proportionate to the rank of any other technique used if used in tandem with something.

• S: Near-Instant! (less than 1 Second)

Description: The basis of all Ju Kenshi techniques, Zanbatou Mochi alows the Ju Kenshi to briefly "charge" their attack, pausing momentarily in order to gather their might. Then, quicker than the blink of an eye, they can unleash their strike anywhere they please, extra force behind it to either defend against incoming strikes or deliver an extra useful strike. Though the brief charge and small period after the swing leaves the user open, the trade-off is a devastating swinging sword that can decimate anything in its way.

Stamina: Very Low - Very High | High (A) ---> Mid
Special: Highest rank known determines range and speed of the blade beam; width of beam will always be 1/4th of the distance traveled. Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi', plus the user's highest rank known, resulting in bonus slashing damage. Beam travels in a straight line, and requires the swing of the sword's edge towards the desired target in order to be released.

• C: 18 m range / 6 mps
  
• B: 27 m range / 9 mps
  
• A: 36 m range / 12 mps
  
• S: 45 m range / 15 mps

Description: As its name implies, the Blade Beam is a range attack as a result of a sword swing. The user cocks their weapon back briefly and, after charging, cuts the air before them. The result is pure cutting power forming a blade beam nearly invisible to the naked eye, able to travel a certain distance at dangerous speed. The speed of the cutter is frighteningly fast, and can grow in size as the Ju Kenshi grows in skill and strength. Finally, the strength of the beam is directly proportionate to the cutting powers of the blade employed.

Takumi watched the company before the short white haired boy fled the scene. He watched as the Tsuchikage, and her company shifting and moving as they became aware of the approaching 'brothers'. Why he would ever take his eyes off his prey, he couldn't fathom but his simple eyes were more than enough to comprehend the man drawing his bow in a mighty and powerful arc and aiming it down at Takumi. Foolishly the man took his aim and shot without any form of distraction or proper concealment for himself, although the arrow itself was fired and nearly invisible there was still a reason to take some sort of defense. Takumi simply swelled a wall of kikaichuu around himself rotating at high speeds until the attack was received and the arrow simply snapped and deflected harmlessly off the shield.

While the arrow had been flying through the air Takumi had not bothered to stop forming his hand seals and completed his set conjuring two bug clones that assimilated in the air atop two small masses of kikaichuu that worked as suspended platforms. The clones zipped along the air on their clouds of kikaichuu travelling nearly as fast as the arrow that had been fired at Takumi (5 mps) quickly gaining distance on the girl five meters above the air one approaching from the left and another on the right. The clones leaned into the wind flexing their hands that became covered in their own kikaichuu layers that swarmed and constantly shifted in their forms.

As Takumi's vortex wall subsided he stepped forwards slowly through the swarm as it buzzed about him hungrily awaiting for the hosts command. He found it a tad bit humorous the Tsuchikage had proclaimed not wanting to harm them when the man beside her fired off a shot so eagerly. Strange, perhaps they were not as well allied as Takumi first assumed but it would make no difference soon enough. He only hoped sincerely that together the two of them would produce something more interesting than a mere arrow that was tricky to see but fired openly without any distractions.

Between the pair of brothers there had been a massive blade beam fired at the archer, and two clones composed of bugs were racing through the air at the tsuchikage. The pair of kiri shinobi had quickly taken the fight to their enemies and with their aggression had taken a strong upper hand in the fight. Still he kept his watchful eyes on the pair, the one was an archer but he still awaited to see what kind of combat the tsuchikage herself was capable of.

I shot the Kumo shinobi a glare, slightly annoyed that he had been so quick to attack ~ but maybe it was for the best. He fired an arrow through the crowd of clones surrounding our party, all the while Yun had previously been weaving through his own Ninjutsu. Following a close 2 seconds behind the blade beam that was projected towards my foreign accomplice, both men would be hit with a wave of transforming colors meant to hinder their vision while our group ducked the slash. In reality, it was but a potent illusion they'd suffer in their own heads. At the same time, Tarou revealed twin tagged kunai from his rear weapons pouch and sent them to intercept the fast approaching insect copies. His next move came along with mine, though I'd complete my seals a bit before him.


Another few moments after our adversaries hopefully shared the same mind altering experience a mass of crows were summoned and their forms enveloped the battlfield. My cardinal vision remained steady from behind my help, and throughout the madness of my flock Tarou finished his seals a second after I did and called forth from the soil itself a torrent of 100 earth needles. If the enemy knew anything of surrounding their prey, the more built of the two would discover an army of senbon targeted at his mid-section blasting upward from all sides. They birthed at 10 meters away and made their advance with little room to dodge. And to end our first move, Yun grabbed me and pulled us further past the sword wielding clones under the cover of my flock. Still, my hands never stopped creating Ninjutsu ~ just like danger never stopped presenting itself.

Haritsuchi Sōzō (Earth Needles Creation)
Rank: D [x10]
Type: Ninjutsu
Range: Depends on the user highest Doton Ryouuken (Earth Dominion).
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Low.
Special: Each time this technique is retrained, the number of needles summoned increases by ten. This can be retrained 10 times for a maximum of 100 needles.
Description: Simply put, the user goes through their hand seals and then focuses their vision on the area they want the needles to form. The needles take about 2 seconds to form from out of the ground and they are the same size as senbon. Once the needles are formed they can be shot from the ground in whatever direction the user chooses, moving as fast as if someone threw them.

Sanzengarasu no Jutsu (Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique)
Rank: C [x10]
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Up to 10 are summoned initially, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned for a maximum of 100 crows. Crows move almost as fast as kunai, and maintain a mental chakra connection to the user for the sake of communication.
Description: The base behind the Akegarasu is their control and use of crows in battle, displayed well with this technique. After forming a few simple seals, the crow king will call upon a murder of crows to fly around and envelop the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. From here, either a comrade or the user can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more efficiently. Finally, the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja, as the crows are massive in numbers and composed of the user's chakra. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Domain: Akegarasu.

So its been brought to my attention that there's been some NPC usage here. First off, let me redirect you to this thread please. Click me!

Now after reading it over very carefully (something all kages should of done upon being accepted let alone seated), two things should of been made very clear.

[/b], the one to one NPC to attacker ratio rule applies. This means that as a Kage, you are entitled to created a single NPC for every assailant that enters the village.
2. The NPC's EXP matches each attacker's current limit and their jutsu consists of most universal jutsu.[/ul]

You've managed to ignore both of these crucial points, considering the fact that not only are you outside the village, but one NPC has "All Genjutsu & Sensory up to A rank" while the other has "All Doton up to S rank."

I'm pretty sure literacy is one of the qualifications for being a Kage, but that point aside...

TL: DR - Your two NPCs are magically eaten by a purple hippo from the void before any of their actions are even capable of remotely occurring. The same will happen to your retired NPC if he tries anything fishy ^_^. If ya'll aren't a fan of the hippo then just pretend the NPCs never existed and this chick's been talking to herself or her relative the entire time.

If any damage has already been incurred by the ANBU it never happened.

YOU:
AS TAKUMI'S VORTEX WALL SUBSIDED HE STEPPED FORWARDS SLOWLY THROUGH THE SWARM

ME:
PLACING MY TWO FINGERS ON THE STRING, WHILE KITING MY ARROW WITH A CHAKRA INSCRIBED TEXTILE, I AIM HIGH AND MIGHTY ...

My Sharingan has a very acute attention to detail and such a
forceful strike by the sword wielder is easily perceptible, he may as well yelled out from a mountaintop which one he really was amid the array of clone wannabe's. He shifted his weight, for one, he thrust his arm for another, and above all that, I can see chakra with my Sharingan. So whatever inconspicuousness he intended was null and void as well as the fact that I could trace the movement of the chakra as soon as it was on the fly (not invisible at all). Obviously I didn't wait for it to manifest and would jump upwards clearly avoiding the thin, mobile slice, but would double jump for good measure increasing my speed an extra 50 percent. The blade would carve deep into the bedrock surface exploiting that this man was surely a definite beast. Unparalleled strength. It was fair to say I would not want to engage in an arm-wrestling match with him. I noticed soon after this Her Majesty was forming some hand seals to debut her prowess in this, our little war.

All the while, the arrow neglected to penetrate the wall, but believe me, I don't fight so elementary as one may have inferred from the "linear attack". I have tricks up my sleeves too! The arrow bounced off a little to the left and behind the shinobi's view, and I would trigger the note attached to the arrow with a hand sign as I elevate. It would lite and erupt, but not before the bug man stepped through his shield of creepy crawlies. What a fool. The explosion would occur far before he could realize what happened and the wake would engulf his person. Critical damage would result as he is defenseless to the surprise attack. [Since you did not specify the distance from one another I am assuming you are standing a meter apart] The explosion would reach its fiery grip out in a circumference, affecting not only the bug man but also the swordwielding nin as well (who was caught up in what appeared to be a lot of stressful thinking [gate's]). Soon both would require ointment for their vicious, biting wounds.

If landed, the explosion would certainly disrupt the active clones as well as the sword wielder's attempt to activate something, but I won't wait to find out if it did or not. The two Skywalker clones frenzied forth, not towards me but at the far more valuable "Princess Leia". I sling my bow while I descend waiting to be still upon the earth. When I land I fire another shot now at the sword wielding Mist-nin from a parallel vantage point as he is preoccupied by the explosion. The arrowhead stings forwards with the determination of a rhino charging coupled with the grace of a hawk descending upon its prey, looking to find a home in his chest, particularly the left side where the most vital organ pumps lovingly inside his anatomy. An uprising of hidden senbon accumulate in front of me, then a hidden arrow is released at the sword wielder with a chakra infused tail after a flurrying murder of crows scatters the field.

"First Blood!"
Rank: D, C, B
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Taijutsu / Archery
Range: See Special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High
Special: This modifying technique allows the user to slice across the target in just the right area to allow immense bleeding.

C: 8 turns (40 s)
B: 6 turns (30 s)
A: 4 turns (20 s)
S: 2 turns (10 s)

[King]

01 I believe the major conflict I was brought into here to clarify was Batman's defense, in regards to Chae Yoon's assault. I discussed this with him on yahoo! and he understand and agrees with the verdict, so I'll simply give the rest of you a watered down version for the sake of clarity.

First, the blade of force would be cleaving through the clones surrounding them on their way to Batman's character. This would be a major clue that something was coming his way, which, when coupled with the clarity and precognitive abilities of the Sharingan, would allow him to jump and evade it.

Second, the speed of a technique is considered at top velocity. So, if it says it moves at twelve meters per second, that is at its maximum possible velocity. That isn't going to be the moment it leaves the sword, as that would instantly cover 12 meters in one second which would essentially be instantaneous (overpowered, in short) travel. One second really isn't a lot of time; in the time it takes a human to think, it's already elapsed.

02 I'm just going to get this out of the way so I don't need to post again. Batman's use of the explosive tag is legitimate. His "hint" in his previous post(s) is enough to justify the presence, and considering fire > bugs, the explosion most definitely critically damaged That Guy's character (if not killing him out right, considering it's a point blank explosion). Needless to say, he won't be continuing in this fight.

His clones, and everything else he had, are hereby discontinued. If he does not receive immediate medical attention in the next two posts, his character will succumb to his wounds and die. Alternatively, if you just want to kill your character off here, that's fine.

Unfortunately, simply presuming that Chae Yoon's character is one meter away from the point of detonation is incorrect. Even if they didn't state that, you can't cement it without justifiable evidence (of which there is none). Simply because they were parallel doesn't mean they were one meter apart, or even ten (they're clearly close enough to see each other, though).

Thusly, Chae Yoon is otherwise unaffected by the explosion and the battle continues.

[Chae]

OOC:
We aren't wearing our headbands so knowing we're kiri is null and void

---

Having cut through his own clones to get to his opponent, he felt not even a sliver of guilt, why would it, it wasn't like they were actual living beings. Nevertheless, his plan hadn't seemed to go well, evident by the bow totting ninja's actions that allowed him jump straight into the air over the bladed beam.

Now, despite it seeming to be a lot happening, all if this only happened within a few seconds at best (2-3), which ultimately would have left Ju to gather even more power as chakra began to swell within his entire body, heating him up from the inside.

It was during that moment that his feet divorced with the ground that Chae yoon's body released his inner "heat", causing licks of smoke to billow from his flesh. Not even a second later would he have bolted forward with a level of speed that was near incomprehensible to the naked eye. Granted, through outside means (eye techniques) his movements were easily discernible, however, physically keeping up was an entirely different story in itself.

Another few moments after our adversaries hopefully shared the same mind altering experience a mass of crows were summoned and their forms enveloped the battlfield.

Don't fret, Ju did in fact notice the flock of crows enter the battlefield, but quite frankly they weren't targeting for him, in actuality, they lacked organization and structure, flying around almost mindlessly. Nevertheless, Ju took action and moved forward 6 meters in a single second. Now, during that time, two things occured:

[/u] of his jump.

2. Simply put, having exerted his previously gathered might, his right arm-that carried his claymore-gathered its strength once again, actually taking less than a second to "power-up."[/ul]

Anemone: "-12 meters away from you now by the end of my post."

Now, believing that his most recent opponent was handled, it was time to close in on the woman. Considering that upon his arrival he was parallel to the woman, he had only a straight shot towards her. That second second of travel carried him 11 meters, now face to face (hands reach) with the woman ready to bring forth his blade to end her life. Presuming that she had no precognitive abilities or movement tracking techniques, he was nothing but a slight blur in her eyes. "Stay strong Takumi, I'll finish this up as soon as possible and get you some help!"

SPOILER: Click to show

-Batman, on average the standard ninja can jump a max of 3 meters. Now, since you used a technique to go even further its safe to say that the 'second' jump doubles which should equates to 6. That being said or correct, well you can do the rest.

Zanbatou Mochi (Charged Attack Sentinel)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: Self
Stamina: Very Low - Very High ---> High
Special: Highest rank known determines strength of charge, as well a charge time. Bonus damage calculator - add the base rank of the Ju Kenshi's sword plus any bonus it brings, PLUS the highest rank of this technique. The user can determine which rank they want to use, but it must be proportionate to the rank of any other technique used if used in tandem with something.

• D: Full Post (5 seconds)
  
• C: 3/4th's of a Post (4 Seconds)
  
• B: Half a Post (3 Seconds)
  
• A: 1/4th a Post (2 Seconds)
  
• S: Near-Instant! (less than 1 Second)

Description: The basis of all Ju Kenshi techniques, Zanbatou Mochi alows the Ju Kenshi to briefly "charge" their attack, pausing momentarily in order to gather their might. Then, quicker than the blink of an eye, they can unleash their strike anywhere they please, extra force behind it to either defend against incoming strikes or deliver an extra useful strike. Though the brief charge and small period after the swing leaves the user open, the trade-off is a devastating swinging sword that can decimate anything in its way.

[1] Kaimon (Gate of Opening)

[/u]
Rank: C^x12 [600 Exp]
Type: Supplementary / Nintaijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Mid [per turn]
Handseals: No
Special: See subjutsu. Lasts for one turn, plus one more each time retrained. Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt regular Genjutsu 'D' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at twice (6 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye will have a harder time focusing on the user, seeing the figure slightly blurry but still themselves, and a Sharingan Stage 2 would be the only one to truly see with clarity. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields strain, but does not restrict the user's level of Taijutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon) is located in the brain, and upon activation, releases the brain's restraints, allowing full power usage of the body's muscles. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use extremely strong techniques, such as the Iron Fist's Frontal Lotus.

[The Dude]

The explosion roared blasting takumi off his feet through the air deafening him to everything else just before he slammed down to the ground unconscious. He was burned bleeding and unconscious, paying for underestimating his enemies hidden attack. He was down and out for the fight. His only hope was in the man he had come to protect and now he would have to protect and save takumi. Sickening irony.

[Jun]

I hadn't simply remained a lackadaisical observer as the blade toting assassin occupied himself with trying to slay the bow master. Fortunate for our side, the second attacker had been rendered unconscious, though I wouldn't take the time to dwell on it. Rather, with my crows as guide I secretly retreated backward a total of 3 times, placing me a comfortable 42 meters away from where the Taijutsu practitioner stood on the front lines. From this perspective I'd put an end to the seals a set of dainty fingers weaved and in turn reveal the true hysteria of my flock. Just 3 seconds after the kunai left our enemy's hand the 100 crows would grow violent ~ soon bearing feathers & talons sharper than any edge. I made the swordsman my target, so with the orders of their creator given, the winged murder converged on him from all angles and attempted to cut the poor soul to pieces. Even stranger was the fact that the man had likely neglected to notice my evacuation; for at this point he'd already have moved in to where I once stood 30 meters earlier. He'd place himself right in the midst of my crows and hopefully he'd pay for that mistake with his life.

All the while I withdrew a tagged kunai and continued moving backwards.

Karasu Shunshin no Jutsu (Flickering Crow Technique) [x3]
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Chakra: See Shunshin
Special: Like Shunshin, the user cannot move more than 10 meters at a time. However, they may move at smaller intervals as well. Each use consumes a single 'Shunshin'.
Description: Upon the calling of a murder of crows, the user will call upon his link within the crows, becoming one with their fabled birds temporarily while they travel through the murder effortlessly. As the name indicates, the user travels at Shunshin speed, as long as there is a crow available to hop to. Useful for evading enemies, or setting up a devastating combination attack.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'



Tokigarasu no Jutsu (Murdering One Thousand Crows)
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: High
Special: Murder of crows can only be defeated by a technique of equal rank. Once used, the mental connection to the entire murder of crows is lost and thus they become unusable for any other Akegarasu technique. Furthermore, new crows cannot be summoned until the entire flock has either died or completed their mission. Must be able to summon at least 100 crows.
Description: The finale. Once the crow kings summons their murder, they command them to scatter and converge on their enemy via Sanzengarasu. However, rather than just confusing their enemies by smothering them with crows, the birds gain a temporary rage. As a result, their feathers, claws and beaks momentarily harden and sharpen to that of steel, and the entire mass essentially kamikaze's themselves into the target. What's left of the crow king's victim is...nothing at all. The crows consume everything, leaving only a bloody stump of what once was. Best of all? Once a target is chosen by the user, the crows don't stop until either the target is dead or they are.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.
