Standing at the center of the arena Azula would wait for the fight to begin. A gentle breeze would caress her skin and cause her raven locks to flow gently like black liquid silk. She was ready and focused, a rare thing. A good spar was always welcome. When her opponent was positioned and ready she'd simply announce. "Shall we begin?"

There was no reason... there only stood me, the opponent, and the test of time. A daring emptiness filled the majority of the arena's center, the nearest obstacle of nature being a tree line that stretched no further than five meters from the bounds... the setting was perfect. Devilish grins always seemed to birth from my expressions when the tides of battle were raging, and I was a proud advocate of understanding the limitations of new acquaintances, regardless of whether the moment was life-threatening or not. Mercy was a virtue, but punishment was inevitable and just against those who would end the life of a complete stranger... only malicious beings deserved such a fate. The container of impeccable sands rumbled with tension as I removed the cap, not a single piece of battle equipment that I owned absent from my waist. With a simple inhale, I could smell the tantalizing scent of a glorious battle commencing with the durable earth beneath me... to witness the extent of the anonymous kunoichi, it was truly inspiring.

"Hehe, ready when you are, cutie."

FIRST STRIKE!

Isn't he sweet. I thought to myself with a smile, hands rushing together to begin our dance. I inhaled as I did so and my body moved to the left as fast as my legs would take me. I had a feeling this would be interesting. Within scarce seconds I had finished my jutsu and moved eight meters left from my previous position. Exhaling the breath I had taken and coming to a stop a powerful blast of wind would rush forth at impressive speed aiming for my opponent and the surrounding area, connection would mean a hefty blow. Yet this was simply something to keep some distance between me and my foe. I had cast another jutsu along with daitoppa and now forming from thin air their stood two clones either side of me, Kaze bunshin. Immediately the clones separated forming handseals of their own, they positioned themselves in a line in front of me as I too began to form seals, my lithe body alert for any imminent counter attacks.

Kiroku Gaijuu (Blasting Wind Domain) [625]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Fuuton (Wind) chakra of their own for multiple purposes, as well as control that produced by nature. Highest rank known determines the strength of the winds, the distance at which one can control them, and finally, the speed at which the user can displace them.
D: 10 meter range / 3 meter per second
C: 20 ms / 6 mps
B: 30 ms / 9 mps
A: 40 ms / 12 mps
S: 50 ms / 15 mps

Description: Though powerful, Fuuton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with the wind release and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Fuuton.


Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough) [200]
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance at which blast can travel depends on the user's Kiroku Gaijuu range, halved. Each time retrained, additional 'C' ranked blasting wind damage is added. However, for every 4th one obtained, chakra consumption for this technique will go up by one!
Description: A staple Fuuton technique, Daitoppa allows the user to blow a single strong current from their mouth, expelled in a cone like fashion forward which carries enough power to knock anything in its way down. This technique is very simple to execute – the user makes the right seals, simply takes a deep breath, and let’s go!
Domain: Fuuton. Kiroku Gaijuu (Blasting Winds Reach) 'C'.

Kaze Bunshin (Wind Clone) [250]
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Fūton Ninjutsu
Range: See Special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Being elementally based, this clone can use any c-ranked or lower Fūton technique the user knows. Can be relearned up to 4 times for a maximum of 5 clones created.
Description: With this technique, the Fūton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of wind chakra, this clone retains the user's movement speed and strength. While easily capable of being used for offensive means, the Fūton bunshin also makes for an equally solid defense due to its ability to harness Fūton-based techniques.
Domain: Fūton. Kiroku Gaiju.

And like a crippling wave, flashing before the landscape with an unmatchable speed, the female's movement and frolic of handseals unleashed the spiritual energy around me. The degeneration was near-instantaneous; up to forty meters in every direction of the very foundation I stood upon was affected by the transformation. The kunoichi's sprint halted, and with a sign of inhalation, I knew exactly how to counteract. Both hands lifted and came to form handseals - the right was lone, the left was continued - and mental commands forced the newborn sand into a shield that rendered the eventual fleeting wind useless. The durability of the earthen particles never seemed to fail me, and once the eastern digits finished their own dance under two seconds at most, the pool of sand came to deplete itself, gathering beneath me in a gargantuan structure. Due to being within range, the woman's height would suddenly begin to descend up to a meter with the rapid elevation of my own, and within the few seconds, the Sand Golem was born. The titan, mirroring it's creator's appearance, measured up to twenty-five impressive meters, and with a deadly god-complex, I stood atop of it, prepared to watch the clones of air perform their duties like a circus act.

'X' Casting I

2 High + 1 Low Chakra Used

Saton Ryouuken (Sand Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Saton Kekkei Touta
Handseals: No
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Chakra: High
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Saton (Sand) chakra of their own for multiple purposes. Amount of sand controlled and speed at which one can control the sand particles depends on highest rank known. Additionally, highest rank also determines the density of the sand, to the point it will be immune to certain elements of lesser form - for example, a 'D' ranked water jutsu won't ruin a 'C' ranked sand creation. This applies to liquid or viscous type creations, as well as fire-based creations. Flames stronger than the sand can potentially ruin the particles by transmuting it into other material such as glass.

D: 10 meters / 2 meters per second
C: 20 meters / 4 mps
B: 30 meters / 6 mps
A: 40 meters / 8 mps
S: 50 meters / 10 mps

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

Dohenshitsu no Jutsu (Earthen Degeneration Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ['S' Rank Speed; 'A' Rank range used]
Type: Supplementary / Saton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Low - Massive. [Very High -> High used]
Special: Can revert earthly substances touched by the user, such as the ground or even an opponent's Doton creation, into sand based on the user's highest 'Saton Ryouuken' rank. The sand conversion can only affect earthly substances created by another person up to the highest rank obtained. Sand conversion speed remains constant regardless of the amount of sand being converted, while the chakra consumption is determined by the amount of sand being converted. The conversion spreads away from the user in a wave, the speed of the conversion traveling determined by the user's highest 'Saton Ryouuken' rank. The maximum speed and range the conversion can achieve is based on the user's highest rank of this technique:

D: 10 meters / Whole turn
C: 20 meters / 3/4 th's of a turn
B: 30 meters / Half of a turn
A: 40 meters / 1/4 th's of a turn
S: 50 meters / Near-Instant!

Description: Dohenshitsu no Jutsu, a technique that grants the user the ability to hone their advanced manipulation over substances such as stone and dirt, Saton chakra eroding the minerals into extremely fine particles, essentially known as sand. The initiation of the process is quite simple, requiring the user to simply place a single hand upon the earthen substance, the Saton chakra within them transferring directly into the target, forcing the once-solid earth to be degenerated into a malleable pile of sand, which can be utilized for the harbringer's own purpose. This technique can be used to create a source for Saton practitioners when the environment is lacking, and can render an opponent's own creations futile, but cannot be affected unless directly touched by the user himself.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryouuken of equal rank.


Suna no Tate (Shield of Sand)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ['B' -> 'A' Rank used]
Type: Defensive / Saton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes [1 Handseal]
Chakra: Very Low - Very High [Mid -> Low Chakra used]
Special: Size of sand shield is directly proportionate to attack being blocked. Blocks a single ranked attacks equal in strength anywhere within a 360 degree radius, as long as the user can see the incoming attack. Highest rank known determines the level of attacks blocked.
Description: Although appearing to be one of the most basic sand jutsu, Suna no Tate is a technique that soon evolves into the user’s most sacred defensive countermeasure. When needed, the user can also use their own chakra to control the sand so that it can act as a barrier. Because the protection is reliant upon how quickly the user’s sand can respond, it is possible a fast enough ninja can bypass the sand and strike the user.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryouuken.


Suna Kyojin (Sand Golem)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Saton Kekkai Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes. [8 -> 4 Handseals]
Chakra: Very High [High Chakra used]
Special: Size and speed of the golem is equal to half of the user's maximum 'Sand Dominion' rank; strength and defense of the golem is equal to the user's maximum 'Sand Dominion' rank. Up to one golem can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained, for a maximum of three (3); however, after the second retraining, the chakra consumption will raise by one. When struck, the golem's sandy essence forces whatever attack equal or lower to their 'Sand Dominion' to stick within, buried into the constricting sand, thus binding; amount of chakra required to break free from the binding depends on the user's highest 'Sand Dominion' rank. Finally, sand golems can cast any Saton technique known by the user one rank less than the highest rank known in 'Sand Dominion', but whatever attacks they perform will still draw from the user's chakra pool.
Description: Suna Kyojin, the creation of a gargantuan titan composed of sand that causes the minuscule sand clones to appear docile and valueless. Through the string of handseals, the user is capable of heaping massive amounts of sand from the ground and environment into colossal, powerful titans. This technique is considered to be the dominant successor of the 'Sand Clone' technique, and can be utilized to overwhelm several opponents with it's strength, or can protect the user and other companions from substantial assaults. The towering creation, made entirely of sand, is normally an imperfect replication of the user or a loved one, and with a linked mental connection, the sand golem can perform Saton techniques from it's own earthen composition... undoubtedly a feared creation of the sand.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryouuken 'A'. Suna Bunshin.

SECOND STRIKE!

Impressive. Would be my only thought as all around me the earth would turn to sand, my opponent obviously relied upon the substance. My clones and I would release our kata which had taken but a second arms raising toward the giant sand golem and it's master. A small green orb would spring to life in the palms of our right hands, immediately the orbs would be launched forth at swift speeds, each would land around the area the golem was and explode with a surprisingly fierce magnitude, the force equivalent of thirteen explosive tags. The blast range would stretch outward blanketing an area around fifteen square meters.

As soon as my bomb had been released i would jump into the air at an angle kicking off with the power of the wind which would send me soaring back a good fifteen meters within but a second. I would angle my landing elegantly skidding back a little now on the edge of where the sand ended, my arm would sweep forth throwing up the sand before me and sending it rushing forward to hide me from sight and cloak an area of twenty five meters in a cloud of sand. My body remained alert my gaze sharp as i moved backward to enjoy solid earth beneath my feet. My four clones whom remained in between me and my opponent would again prepare kata the two on the edge either side separating and sprinting off in opposite direction with a curve to their run. Their aim was to surround my opponent if he remained, such power would require me to utilize all my cunning.

Kiroku Gaijuu (Blasting Wind Domain) [625]
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Fuuton Ninjutsu

Chakra: Mid
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Fuuton (Wind) chakra of their own for multiple purposes, as well as control that produced by nature. Highest rank known determines the strength of the winds, the distance at which one can control them, and finally, the speed at which the user can displace them.

C: 20 ms / 6 mps
B: 30 ms / 9 mps
A: 40 ms / 12 mps
S: 50 ms / 15 mps

Description: Though powerful, Fuuton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with the wind release and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Fuuton.

Kaze Bakudan (Wind Bomb) [325]
Rank: D
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Low
Special: The explosion is more powerful at the site of detonation and becomes weaker the farther the opponent is from it. Distance at which wind bomb can travel depends on the user's Kiroku Gaijuu range, and range of explosion measures 1 meter. Each time retrained, explosion range goes up by 1. However, after every fifth retraining, the consumption will go up by one.
Description: The user holds up a hand after performing a short series of handseals. Their chakra is focused into this point, and a small, swirling green ball is created as wind is tightly compacted. The bomb is then thrown, and upon contacting a solid object will detonate. The explosion has roughly the same power as an Exploding Tag.
Domain: Fuuton. Kiroku Gaijuu 'D'.

Ea Uingu (Air Wing) [300]
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No
Chakra: High
Special: Grants the user the ability to accelerate their speed in the air. User can 'burst' at speeds akin to the winds of 'Kiroku Gaijuu' in order to avoid attacks. Due to its high speed nature, this can be used one per thread, plus one more each time retrained,
Description: A sub-skill of the Sarutobi no Jutsu, since it doesn't give the user the ability of flight, this is a useful variant. Once in the air, Without the need of handseals, the user simply gathers Fuuton chakra at their feet, then "kicks" the air, allowing the user to "push" off the air to speed up their momentum. The momentum of the wind burst at their feet sends the user in a specific direction a meter away instantly, nearly akin to that of Shunshin speed, the use of Sarutobi no Jutsu halting the sudden burst of momentum mid-air. This is often used as a successful mean for dodging attacks.
Domain: Fuuton. Sarutobi no Jutsu.

Fuusajin (Dust Wind) [50]
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid
Special: Produces a 180 degree cone of wind that disrupts all loose footing. Distance at which the blast can travel depends on the user's Kiroku Gaijuu range, halved; speed remains the same as 'Kiroku Gaiujuu' however.
Description: With the user’s weapon in hand or their limb extended, they will channel chakra across it so that when the weapon or limb is swung, a strong wind current comes forth. This current, although not heavy enough to do any threatening damage, can in fact knock opponents over, as well as severe loose sediment across the ground, bring up dust and whatever else lies on the floor. Useful for creating vision inhibiting storms, knocking people off balance, covering one’s tracks, escaping, and many, many more!
Domain: Fuuton. Kiroku Gaijuu (Blasting Winds Reach) 'C '.

Just a few problems with your post... in your first battle post, you noted that you created two clones, but then you mention four of them in the second. However, since this is just an OOC fight, I'll ignore it. Next, in your second post, I understand you use Air Wing to give you that fifteen meter boost, but that technique clearly states in the Description that it only grants a one meter boost, not a whole whopping fifteen meters. Unfortunately for you, considering you were originally around 8 or so meters away from the end of the indent, that still puts you 6-7 meters within the sand field. Lastly, I think you are either underestimating the Sand Golem's durability or overestimating the collective power of those Wind Bombs... the Sand Golem possesses a natural SS-Rank defense with S-Rank Sand Dominion + Chakra Booster, and even with 13 retrains of a D-Rank blast, that won't give you so much concussive force to put a scratch into the structure.

Fuuton, better known as the one of the few energies that could debilitate my earthen composition, and the kunoichi apparently had a fond understanding of the Wind Element... however, the ability to create blows powerful enough to affect the indestructible sand was laughable. Although I didn't possess extraordinary-predictive senses like some rare shinobi, the female's bodily gestures were too obvious to not foretell an aerial assault being launched... inhaling, thrusting a hand forward, it was like reading a children's book! Nonetheless, it would be utterly foolish to underestimate any opponent, and without hesitation the sandy titan I stood upon lifted one of it's massive arms toward my location, a single hand cuffing around me, acting akin to that of a makeshift barrier. Despite witnessing a barrage of wind bombs shooting toward the titan's structure, the responsive giant moved forward, clearing several meters with each step. From within the titan's protective grasp, I heard the rumble of several aerial explosions pushing against my replica, but to zero effect. Eventually, the loudness ceased, and with the disappearance of the shelter I nonchalantly formed a single-handed set of handseals, targeting two locations of sand to attend to their own mission. The first command influenced a mass portion of her clones' infrastructure to betray them, stabbing upward from the ground with intense velocity and puncture, extinguishing the kunoichi's copies from existence. The second command aimed for the motionless female's position, where she had directed a portion of my own fine minions against me, but I never worried. Despite being blind of the opponent's exact position, the collection of hand gestures had been performed and the chakra had already been dispersed... with the last appearance of the kunoichi being the center of the event, the ground beneath her blind spot rapidly began to churn into a whirlpool, hoping to drown the lower half of the unsuspecting hottie into the sand. Meanwhile, nothing more than a matter of seconds ended the Sand Golem and I's journey into the dust cloud, merely ten meters from where the kunoichi last halted, and I waited for the distraction to settle. Could it have been game over already?!

2 High + 1 Mid + 2 Low Chakra Used Total

Tongari Suna Enchou (Fine Sand Extension)
Rank: C, C ['C' -> 'B' Rank Strength]
Type: Offensive / Saton Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes. [4 -> 1 Handseal]
Chakra: Mid [sustain]. [Low Chakra used]
Special: The range and amount of the sharp-edged creations depends on the user's highest 'Saton Ryouuken' rank. When first learned, the length of the needles are capable of extending up to half of a meter, plus another half each time retrained, for a max of five meter-long needles.
Description: Tongari Suna Enchou, a technique that grants the user the ability to create sharp-edged sand needles that protrude from the sand around them, their manipulation being effective with either offensive or defensive tactics, which is purely dependent on the user. Upon completing the handseals, Saton chakra saturates the designated sand, the molding earth forming and hardening into sand needles naturally used by sand murderers. However, the sand rapidly extends and shortens it's width from the foundation, the tip of the creations being extremely fine and dangerous to the touch. The creations are forced to be simply locked and held within the sand that it was birthed from, shooting forth with extreme speed to pierce an unsuspecting target, or waiting patiently for a careless prey to fall directly into the serrated trap.
Domain: Saton. Saton Ryouuken 'C'.


Gokusa Maisou (Sand Prison Burial)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Trapping / Saton Kekkai Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes [6 -> 2 Handseals]
Chakra: High [per target] Mid Chakra Used]
Special: Can only alter organic material within user's 'Sand Dominion' range for burial use. Burial ground appears in the form of a 5 meter sphere with victim in the middle, the amount of uses depending on the user's highest 'Sand Dominion' rank. Up to one victim can be buried at a time, plus one more per use each time retrained for a maximum of 10 victims buried.

D: 1 use per thread / Low Stamina required to escape
C: 2 uses / Mid Stamina
B: 3 uses / High Stamina
A: 4 uses / Very High Stamina
S: 5 uses / Massive Stamina

Description A highly efficient trapping technique, the user performs a few seals and send their chakra along the ground in order to loosen the area below their target. Within moments, this will cause them to sink deep within the earth, surrounded by quicksand. By being imprisoned at this depth, the pressure will completely limit their ability to move.

THIRD STRIKE!

SPOILER: Click to show

Firstly if you read my other post again carefully you will see I created two clones either side of me. Secondly i did not read that part carefully enough but i did mention in my post and i quote, 'My body remained alert my gaze sharp as i moved backward to enjoy solid earth beneath my feet.' So i carried moving back anyway to escape the sand field meaning your sand prison burial misses. I am on solid ground once more. Also you might be overestimating your sand which is naturally susceptible to Fuuton. You were just the epicenter of a five lot's of D ranked explosions retrained thirteen times. I would imagine that would be a fairly potent explosion and cause some damage. Also since my bombs would reach you within a second or so and sand is notoriously slow i doubt that golem of yours would have managed to wrap it's hand around you in time. But i digress this is for fun so we shall continue.

TBC!
