[PT1] Testing My Mettle

[Rui]

The sole of Kawaii’s shoes had blessed the clear and untouched battlefield. Much like the battlefield, her vision had been transparent. Today, Kawaii would rectify the name of the noble Kusa; in honor of her beloved queen, Madame Blanche. While the sun had been peaking over the clouds to glance at the fight that was about to ensue, Kawaii had been focusing on her surroundings. Everything that surrounds a shinobi can be used as a weapon. Kawaii and nature had become one, and she considered it her biggest advantage. With her binoculars¹, starting from the right, she’d scavenge the plain like a vultures lunch. It had been 100x100 meters, she was sure of that. After memorizing the calculations, something else had caught her attention.

Gazing forward, Kawaii would squeeze her minute eyes together, raising her left hand above brow while placing the binoculars away that had been situated in her right. She wouldn’t remove her hand, though, as something looked fishy. Instead, she’d rumble through her bag to grab the closes weapon² she could find, before slowly concealing and removing it from her bag, and into her right hand. After closing distance between her and her adversary, there had only been 20 meters left. That would be all she needed to take care of him. If he didn’t make any sudden movements, she might spar his life. However, that was up for him to decide.

The plain was graced by the noble footsteps of a young shinobi, as he would adventure forth, the grass beneath his feet would lay under each step as he advanced, as if it were bowing to him. All around him, he could only see an open field, one that had apparently no other life forms within it but himself, the isolation was something he didn't mind, but at the same time it did. He wasn't one who preferred to be alone, he had admired company, but he had none. He began to think how dangerous it was to be out on your own in the middle of nowhere, there could be attackers lurking around, and all about, but the thought didn't get to him, it was simply a reminder for him to stay on guard.

His mahogany mane, cascading down to the center of his back, and his grey orbs had peered onward to see if he could come across anything that was the slightest bit interesting to him, or at least someone who could entertain him for even a little bit. He had worn an attire of that of a simple shinobi, a black, short sleeved, t-shirt, and a matching pair of pants, with a white slash around his waist. His black shinobi sandals were connected to his black shinobi pants via white leg warmers. He carried a few weapons upon his persona, though only ones that could be hidden away, in his multiple pouches.

As he would continue to advance, he could feel the presence of other creep upon him, though they wasn't immediately close, he had decided to subtly reach into the kunai holster upon his left thigh with his left hand. He had drawn a kunai which was laced with a paper, his eyes looking around toward his back where he could feel the eyes of his enemy upon his back.

The sun towered above lingering clouds as it filled the sky with fiery orange hues; it provided enough light where most things could be visible, especially within a clear, grassy plain devoid of any small objects. From the looks of things, had a battle taken place within the surrounding area, kawarimi didn't seem like a viable option. Nevertheless, as the Sennin walked silently through the field, his head turned, panning left and right. Observing the field with ink covered eyes, he frontally approached a man(Kota) whose attention -for the most part- seemed to be elsewhere. Focusing on something or someone towards ones own back significantly diminished the size of their frontal field of vision and the man was no exception.

Kota: "He had drawn a kunai which was laced with a paper, his eyes looking around toward his back where he could feel the eyes of his enemy upon his back."

Noticing immediately, Masuyo stopped about 10 meters in front of the mahogany haired man with ototon chakra fastened to his right arm beneath the wrist long sleeves of his robe. Upon seizing his own movements, Masuyo's feet were shoulder length apart with the left about a foot in front of the right. Given his target(s) location through an anonymous letter, the Sennin had been well prepared for battle. Examining the paralleled man, he acknowledged his presence with his own eyes but felt another behind him through the earth¹. And with that, the Sennin merely prepared himself for all possible things as he waited for the most opportune moment.

Doton Ryouuken (Earth Dominion)

[/u]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Establishes the area of earth a user can control for their earthen techniques, including the ability to sense what comes in contact with it. Because Doton is a solid essence with physical mass, its creations deal more with strength and endurance of the earth; as such, each earthen creation from the user will have have a natural, built-in defense against any attacks equally ranked or lower. Highest rank known also establishes the size of Doton creations they can produce, as well as the amount of time it takes for the user to detect any form of contact with their Doton creations, as well as natural earth. Keep in mind detection occurs only when foreign contact occurs WHILE the user is also in direction contact with the earth, natural or self-made.

• D: 10 meter range / Full Turn detection delay
  
• C: 20 meters / 3/4 ^th's of a turn
  
• B: 30 ms / Half of a turn
  
• A: 40 ms / 1/4 ^th's of a turn
  
• S: 50 ms / Near-Instant!

Description: The basis behind the majority of Doton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very earth around them. 'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.

Kawaii had been taught young to think fast, but act quicker, and, given the situation she was about to be placed in, she would pay respect to her valiant birthed teachers by following this lecture, and keeping in mind what had been told. Just when Kawaii thought situation couldn’t get any worst, peering through the gap of his legs, she saw another individual grace the battlefield. With a “better late than never” mentality, she had already begun her process towards healing¹ when the moment presented itself. Because of her short height, keeping a view on the both of them had been nothing more or less than a simple task.

Instead of being irrational, she’d continue trekking forth toward the man and other unseen enemy. Using the weapon in her right hand and the reflection from the sunlight peeking through the clouds above, she’d focus the beam of light at the left eye of the man who had been glancing at her through his peripherals. Hopefully, it’d be enough to temporarily blind him, if other for a second. If not, it wouldn’t matter, as nothing was lost or gained. Immediately after completing her action, Kawaii sprinted forth, throwing the once concealed weapon² at the man’s back. She would follow up consecutively by performing hand seals for a technique³, which would be done by the time she reached 11 meters from her opponent’s.

Inhaling deeply, the moment she opened her mouth, she would stop, and a poisonous mist would spill forth from her gullet. The range of the mist would reach 20 meters, already placing them 9 meters within the mist upon its activation. And if it hit, they’d have no other choice, but to succumb to the nauseous gas, which would surely last 15 seconds. That would be enough for her to go in for the kill. While the mist continued taking effect, she would use it to cloak the hand seals of the next technique⁴ she had been prepping.

Feeling both his opponents chakra signatures as their feet remained fastened to the earth's surface, he knew when the movements of the furthermost enemy began evident. Whoever that person had been, they moved forward towards Masuyo with furor and it appeared they set their murderous sights on the middleman. Watching the man move and stand in a sideways fashion, he leaned as if to dodge something. In mere moments, the Sennin watched as the senbon came soaring into the mans body. An eyebrow raised on the Sennin's face as he noticed that his closest enemy began to fall lifelessly. Naturally, as his body began to fall, the figure of his remaining opponent had been discernible.

She would follow up consecutively by performing hand seals for a technique3, which would be done by the time she reached 11 meters from her opponent’s.

It was during that moment that the Sennin stepped forward and merely vanished before the young girls very eyes¹. Rivaling (though not equaling) the speed of the fabled Hiraishin technique, Masuyo would have appeared about 2 meters in front of the girl as he moved around the former. Aware² of all possible threats, his right foot would have taken the lead of the left and dug into the ground. Pushing to propel his body forward, the Sennin's right hand would've clenched, raised, and cocked back with a slight bend. Thereafter, catching the girl during her hand-seals, his bawled fist would have snapped forward down towards the running girls chest with the strength of a god³.

Refusing to kill, he merely aimed to incapacitate the little soldier instead - even if he missed.

SPOILER: Click to show

With your seal speed, 2 seals per second is the universal and B ranked seals are 6-7 so thats roughly just 3 solid seconds. Considering the speed and abruptness if Masuyo's actions, its safe to say it would have taken you by surprise while attempt to interrupt the sealing process.

Sennin Mōdo (Sage Mode)

[/u]
Rank: S - S - S - S - S - S - S - S - S - S - S - S ^{[3,600 Exp]}
Type: Senjutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: ---
Special: Allows the user to draw upon Senjutsu chakra for a plethora of different uses. Determines the amount of Senjutsu chakra that a person may store within his or her body before he or she must replenish the Senjutsu chakra, as well as Sennin Mōdo. The technique must originally be trained under the tutelage of a Summoning Family Sage; however, after that, the trained may spend stored EXP to retrain the technique. Allows the user to store one 'Massive' amount of Senjutsu Chakra, plus one 'Massive' amount for every time the technique is learned.
Description: By learning to remain utterly and completely still, a shinobi can begin to sense the natural energy around him or her. Over time, the shinobi will learn to draw that energy into him- or herself and blend it into the user's natural chakra circulatory system. During the training time, the user will constantly begin changing form; essentially, the closer one gets to nature, the more nature will attempt to pull one in. By resisting this urge, the user will gain the ability to command and draw in natural energy without hazard. If the user ever exceeds the amount of Senjutsu Chakra that he or she can control, they will immediately petrify. The natural energy, processed in the same way as bodily energy through the chakra circulatory system, releases a new brand of chakra, known as Senjutsu Chakra. Senjutsu Chakra can be used in a plethora of different ways, from using it to fuel Nin and Genjutsu, to increasing the strength or speed of a user's Taijutsu, or even beginning to predict the actions of an incoming opponent through the ability to read intent through the energy being released into the atmosphere. The only way to recharge Sage Mode is to stand completely still for one turn.
Domain: Kinjutsu. Must be taught by a Summoning Family Sage.

[/li][li][1]Senjutsu: Issen (Sage Technique: A Flash)[/u]
Rank: S ^{[300 Exp]}
Type: Supplementary / Senjutsu
Range: 0-40 meters
Chakra: 0-10 meters: Mid; 11-20 meters: High; 21-30 meters: Very High; 31-40 meters: Massive. May also be used at a rate of Massive / Turn in order to increase one's natural speed by 300%.
Special: Allows the user to withdraw a specified amount of Senjutsu Chakra from his or her active Sage Mode in order to instantly transport him or herself to a designated location. It is not possible to attack while this technique is active, unless one is simply increasing his or her natural speeds.
Description: This technique has two purposes. In the first, the jutsu acts very similarly to the famed Shunshin and Shunpo techniques. The main difference is that this technique moves faster than either of these abilities, at speeds rivaling though never meeting that of the mighty Hiraishin jutsu. The amount of Senjutsu Chakra used is dependent entirely upon the range the user wishes to travel. In its second incarnation, the user is capable of simply using Senjutsu Chakra to increase his or her natural speed far above what would normally be feasible. When used in this secondary manner, the technique drains a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra per turn instead of in a single leap.
Domain: Requires Sage Mode.

[/li][li][2]Senjutsu: Senchi (Sage Technique: Foresight)[/u]
Rank: S ^{[300 Exp]}
Type: Supplementary / Senjutsu
Range: 30 Meters
Chakra: Massive / turn
Special: Allows the user to accurately predict all incoming attacks used by opponents within 30 meters until the user's next turn, or until he or she stops using the technique. The longer the technique is active, the more Senjutsu Chakra is drained.
Description: One of the benefits of being able to sense the ebb and flow of energy is that one immediately understands when and how energy is being used. By sampling the natural energy around every person in range, the user becomes capable of predicting any and all attacks made while within this range. The downside to this is that the user will be spending a large amount of Senjutsu Chakra in order to maintain the connection around his or her opponents. The plus side is, obviously, the user will be aware of all incoming attacks and may move accordingly to dodge them.
Domain: Requires Sage Mode.

[/li][li][3]Senjutsu: Wanryoku (Sage Technique: Brute Strength)[/u]
Rank: A ^{[150 Exp]}
Type: Supplementary / Senjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: See special
Special: Allows the user to withdraw a specified amount of Senjutsu Chakra from his or her Sage Mode to add as physical damage to a Taijutsu strike. The technique uses the standard Stamina drain scale (D: Low, C: Mid, B: High, A: Very High, S: Massive).
Description: Once one has learned how to gather Senjutsu Chakra, the next step is learning how to use it to fuel the body to greater heights. With this technique, the user will learn how to release stored Senjutsu Chakra as physical strength, dramatically increasing the potency of Taijutsu strikes while inside of Sage Mode. The downside is, of course, that the user will expend Senjutsu Chakra and will eventually be required to regain that amount of energy back or else fall out of Sage Mode.

"Madame Blanche!" were the last words she muttered as the punch from the God incarnate hit her. It had all happened in a flash. In that moment, she had crossed the borders of life and death, with the latter being the permanent.
