Cavorting with a demon

[Sayomi]

.The battle starts with each opponent on respective ends of the cobble stone bridge facing one another.

.The second poster may attempt the first attack if they please.

.The distance between the two combatants is 15 yards

.The area is a quiet grassy plain, with moderate size trees adorning the scene as well as a few boulders varying in size. The sky above is a vivid blue, all is calm. A river passes under the bridge and follows to the edge of the grassy plain. The battle area is roughly the size of a small village.

With curiosity curtain your first move!

Mausmi's shark like pearl whites gleamed in the oppressive sunlight. The sun would allow no one to still it's thunder. No.

Not a single cloud objected to this fact as the sky was a vivid blue lonesome blue.

She wore her usual light brown track jacket, zipped halfway, gray form-fitting pants fell just above her ankles, and upon her back a ninjato. Masumi sized her opponent down on the other end of the bridge as a quiet gust passed by.

Blond windswept hair rolled across the girls cheeks, her body was poised and ready for action. She didn't blink nor flinch for when he made his first move Masumi would react in turn.

"How about we start this, kay?"

Masumi would say as her smile stretched into a grin, a full display of her sharp teeth in view.

[B.R.O.K.E.N]

Ahhh fuck me, this one looks troublesome A boy spoke, pale white hair flitted about as the suns liquid beams spilled ferociously upon Zabuza's frame. "Ugh why does it have to be so fucking hot?" His thoughts churned with ease as he stepped forth, red crimson eyes and a animated crow which sat upon his shoulders. His skin radiated with a tint of blue, jesus christ he looked sick as hell! Must've been that rotten cupcake he ate out of the garbage earlier. Two kunai in hand, supported by trained arms, soon flung into the air from a strong horizontal hook. They crawled happily along the invisible currents of air as small silver and white blurs, converging and swapping sides mid flight. The crow upon his shoulder jerked, taking flight into the air from Zabuza's movements.

He needed to take mobile action as he knew his opponent would most likely react instantly, however, Zabuza was already beyond that. He suddenly took off with a side-ward dash 3 meter dash, a short burst for brief distance and enough to keep focus upon his foe while moving.

[Sayomi]

With the gallows at your neck I offer a final moment of reprieve!

'A crow?'

She took a mental note of the tiny ebony creature perched upon his shoulder.Masumi raised an eyebrow as he complained, she wasn't sure whether to take him seriously or to simply laugh at him. Her grin widened upon her visage, the corners of her lips curling devilishly. He made his first move, two kunai tore through the sky aimed to impale Masumi, already limber and ready to execute her counter measurements, her trained eyes noticed a shimmering glint beneath the sun's oblique rays.

The kunai crossed paths, but Masumi had already seen through his tactics. A nice try, but he'd have to do much better than that. Quickly and skillfully she palmed three kunai, two aimed to divert the enemies own projectiles knocking them clear of their mark, the other zipped at the boy who just finished his sideways dash, the crow took flight from his abrupt movement.

The third kunai aimed at him was flung headstrong, an ivory wave and gleam at its tail underneath the amber rays of the sun. The kunai was aimed at his upper chest. Masumi kept her distance for now, her eyes not blinking for even a moment.

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.

Quickly and skillfully she palmed three kunai, two aimed to divert the enemies own projectiles knocking them clear of their mark

The searing hot fires of the two explosions whipped into and against the cool summer air, surely they would cause some sort of distraction or disruption if the kunai were deflected 10 meters away (unlikely).

He suddenly took off with a side-ward dash 3 meter dash, a short burst for brief distance and enough to keep focus upon his foe while moving.

Zabuza refused to act in the most assumable ways unlike a great many combatants during the age of the shinobi. Noticing the raging kunai through the confines of his carmine eyes he simply continued in his path of direction allowing to kunai to fall upon mother earth, striking her with a vengeful taint. HOW DARE SHE! "Hey you Bit-" His frame was caught in the eye of the explosion, wiping him away like a soft tissue on an old mans ass.

His skin radiated with a tint of blue, jesus christ he looked sick as hell! Must've been that rotten cupcake he ate out of the garbage earlier.

Sadly, the clone of Zabuza was caught in the explosion instead, vanishing in the fiery display of a exploding note. Sad how the girl failed to notice such subtle things. The clouds of smoke would begin to fade to the passing winds (still enough to remain hidden) as the cries of hungry crow's bellowed. The dissipated from physical form upon impact, however, due to this particular clone being a secret clan technique, it gave life once more. The beautiful black crows instantly converged, forming the clone that was thought to have been vanquished. "-ch your're pretty annoying. The clone began a short series of handseals at a brisk pace, his hands a mere blur against the cool summer air. In an instant a swarm of 10 berserk murder crows all flapping and flying around Zabuza's foe, enveloping them as a distraction.

At the same time

The crow upon his shoulder jerked, taking flight into the air from Zabuza's movements.

In a fairy-like puff of smoke the crow that took refuge into the sky gave to-GUESS WHO!- Zabuza himself, wow isn't magic fun?! Hovering into the air above (but in front) Masumi before committing his descent, he palmed his last two kunai, charging them with Raiton chakra and sent them flying at masumi's position ready to hit the target due to the distraction. Landing upon the bridge he would not wait and allow her to process what the fuck was going on, instead, he dashed forward to enter a 9 meter range, Ninjato now drawn, he was gone. Throwing mercy to the way side he made his way to her blinds-spot with a stab to her back, hoping to impale.

4/4 Kunai

Henge no Jutsu (Transformation Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Allows the user to transform into any person, object or animal of normal/small/miniature size. Transformation can be held for one turn, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: Henge no Jutsu is a very basic ninjutsu technique which every ninja learns at their respective village's Shinobi Academy. Henge allows the user to transform themselves into any person or object. This allows the ninja to move with stealth or to trick their opponents.
Domain:Academy Student Ninjutsu..

Shunshin-Kawasu (Shimmering Flicker)
Rank: B
Type: Passive / Ninjutsu
Range: Shunshin
Special: Gives the user the option to side-step, curve, shimmy or even shimmer on a whim during a Shunshin, rather than remaining moving forward. Sidestep distance takes away from the Shunshin's total traveling distance.
Description: Although Shunshin is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the ninja can learn to limit their forward travel speed in exchange for a near-instantaneous sideways move. Useful when evading tricky attacks, or when wishing to confuse opponents.
Domain: Shunshin.

Kyodan Anshu no Jutsu (Electrified Projectile Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Can be used on any projectile or throwing weapon like Senbon or Kunai, or anything that isn’t as big as a main weapon, such as a broadsword or shield.
Description: Considered supplementary because the user can rely on this technique anytime they have a projectile in hand without worrying about handseals, the user concentrates a small amount of Raiton chakra into the metallic weapon, set to disperse whenever said weapon comes in contact with its target. When stuck by an enhanced projectile, the user will receive extra damage, as well as many small shocks. Highly effective against opponents susceptible to lightning in general.
Domain: Raiton.

Karasu Bunshin no Jutsu (Crow Clone Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Special: Each clone requires ?? crows for creation. Clones, like the crows, can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Clones move at crow speed, and can perform any Akegarasu jutsu the user knows. Clones disperse and reform once before being defeated, but each time this jutsu is re-learned, an additional reformation charge is gained.
Description: Once a murder of crows has been summoned in the hands of an experienced Akegarasu, a variety of sub-creations can be made to make the user deadly in battle. In this case with a sufficient amount of crows, the user forms a single seal - bird! - and calls them together in order to form of themselves. Unlike regular bunshin, the crow clone has substance, can move at the same speed as an individual crow, and best of all, scatters when struck for re-use. Although the clone is not spawned with the user's inventory, they will attain whatever main weaponry the user has at the time, if any. When struck by concentrated blows from bladed/blunt weaponry or even a bare fist, crows disperse and revert back to crow form instantly for further use. However, widespread, area-of-effect attacks such as elemental ninjutsu (katon, raiton, etc.) defeat the crows instantly.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'.

Sanzengarasu no Jutsu (Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
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 summonsed the first time, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned. 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.

[Sayomi]

Obscurity has no hero...

The four projectiles meet at the epicenter of the cobble stone bridge igniting in a fiery small explosion. The middle of the bridge was obscured by a veil of smoke, however since her opponent decided to dash to the side, he was still in her line of visibility.

'A clone!'

The third kunai aimed at him was flung headstrong, an ivory wave and gleam at its tail underneath the amber rays of the sun.

Jumping back Masumi's feet slid across the surface of the ground. {4-5 meters back} Within that same motion with a tug to the left of her hand Masumi would sway the kunai's course via wire to the clone that began a set of handseals, her free hand forming the proper seal to detonate it. A myriad of yellow, and orange hues would engulf the clone, stopping its technique, for a moment at least.

The bird above had showed its true form, the farce broken, Masumi was was in a suitable position to witness it. Two kunai tore through the air at her, and so Masumi jumped forward while drawing her ninjato. With two easy flicks of her sword she'd dispel the threat, a bead of sweat slid down her face as she noticed both were charged with raiton chakra as they splashed into the river below, fizzing on it a short discharge.

"Da-"

Before she could even curse her eyes spotted the figure a moment to late, his body vanishing as it flickered. In an instance the sword pierced her and it would have appeared as if she had been mortally stabbed in her sternum, but deception was a Shinobi's true tool!

A wide grin plaid across her face as the ninjato as well as his arm would be lodged within her body, her watery body would come in use as well as the vicious jelly that would began eating away at his arm. The upper part of Masumi's body would immediately fully liquefy allowing her to face him, eye contact made her water body would shift forward at frightening speeds, taking th eofrm of a giant blob that'd surely at this range engulf him.

If successful he'd began to be drowned as well as the corrosive acid of her jelly burning through his skin and eating at his flesh. The pressure from Kan'oke would be so great that'd his body would began to feel crushed immediately his ribs and other bones cracking as agony would surge throughout his body.

Ultimate Hydration Technique (Suika no Jutsu)Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Initial liquefaction lasts a single turn by default. All Hozuki are impervious to non-elemental physical strikes, but are susceptible to Raiton and Hyouton - lightning attacks place on them are raised by a single rank, and when struck by it, they are unable to liquefy properly, and finally, ice jutsu have twice the freezing capabilities when coming in contact with the Hozuki. Ranks 'D' and 'C' represent the ability to liquefy one and two limbs at a time respectively (be it arms or legs); 'B' rank represents torso; 'A' rank represents head liquidation; 'S' rank allows the user to liquefy all together any time they want. Finally, Hozuki are made of water, so they can use themselves as a base for all suiton based jutsu. Hydration rank also determines rank/level of suiton the Hozuki can birth from their body.
Description: The core technique behind the bloodlimit and the door to stronger, more powerful attacks, this jutsu allows the Hozuki to totally transform their body into a condensed state of water, so dense that the user can withstand even the roughest of physical attacks, yet so malleable that on a whim, they can also decompose into mere puddles. From a single hair to the skin and muscles, everything can be liquefied and solidified, be it to evade an enemy's attack during a short range battle, to infiltrate a structure, or to launch a surprise attack from a liquefied state Maintaining this form requires that the clan member keep themseves constantly hydrated, but in this form the can also draw upon and control nearby water by immersing and merging amongst the liquid. And best of all - by liquefying their whole body at will, it makes it impossible for the Hozuki to receive damage from physical attacks. When the user passes out, they turn into a jelly-like, dormant state until consciousness is regained.
Domain: Hozuki.


* Gisan-Hisan (Acid War)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Offensive / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Degree and damage of poison acid depends on highest rank known. Corrosiveness depends on rank:

o D ~ Skin
o C ~ Earth & Elements
o B ~ Wood
o A ~ Rock
o S ~ Steel

Description: Once the Hozuki begin to understand their blood and how to control it, they learn to combine their ninjutsu powers in order to give their 'jelly' special properties. In this case, the Hozuki's very essence transforms into an acidic poison, corrosive on contact and highly invasive upon sensing foreign bodies. The best part about it all is that the Hozuki's color does not change one bit, giving no indication that they are wielding cursed waters. When combined with other clan techniques, this essence alteration can be highly effective for combat.
Domain: Hozuki. Must know 'Hydration' for rank being learned.

Toro-Toro no Jutsu (Sticky Jelly Technique)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Strength of absorbed attack depends on the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank.
Description: As the Hozuki further their understanding of the control over their liquid essences, their skill in altering their density composition enhances. In this case, rather than simply breaking up into a puddle of water when being struck, the Hozuki learns to absorb the blow, increasing their watter pressure so that the weapon or limb is stuck within. To the opponent, it'll feel as if they had buried their weapon/hand in sloppy mud. By reforming around the impact point, they are able to trick their opponent into coming in for an obvious attack. From this point, they can finish their opponent off, or capture them for later use.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘D’ ranked Hydration.

Exploding Note
Rank: D
Type: Tool / Area of Effect
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: 10 per pack [3 used]
Description: The exploding note is a piece of parchment paper infused with special chakra, layered over with a special script on it that serves to enable and facilitate its explosive properties. Its execution is simple - the ninja can attach the note to another object such as a kunai or log, and upon activation, the note is set and begins either a slow countdown burn, which eventually results in a large explosion, or the explosion in itself upon command.
Cost: 500 per Pack
