[Sayomi]

Masumi's left hand slightly twitched around Kubikiri's Tsurugi's hilt which rested upon her lower back horizontally. The urge to draw it an end her enemies life was gnawing at her, however patience was a virtue. Hacking her opponent would come soon, even the thought of that single murderous act brought a devilish curl to Masumi's lips, ivory fangs gleaming under the oblique amber rays that slipped through the forest's canopy above.

Her trained eyes reflexively kept a steady focus on her opponent, and the surrounding lush of the forest, the clearing they stood in was roughly 10 meters in width and length, upon its perimeter plethora's of tall oaks towered around, spaced out periodically.

The soft chirping of insects and birds softly echoed, reverberating through the Forest's confines. They'd sing an bewitching melody at the opponents death, such a sweat demonic tune would coo softly amongst the wind and there name forver lost to the forest God.

"C'mon, lets dance!"

Opening Theme

A leaf passed over her face as her clear blue eyes quickly looked around the forest. It did not bother her. Nor did it distract her from the problem at hand. The colour of trees and leaves kept the place feeling alive despite it's obviously lonesome character when the colours were stripped away. This was no place for a fight. There was no need to destroy this place. But of course, it would happen here anyway, despite what Aihime wished.

The young girl's eyes narrowed as she looked at the woman in front of her. It had been a while since she had been a real fight but she had to do her best, for her village. And what better to do in a death situation than smile and be calm about it? Think it through.

A deep breath followed by a sigh...

She had no idea what she could do, so it was better to play it safe and do long distance fighting for now. From the sword on her back, this woman was probably a close-range fighter, whereas Aihime worked from Mid to long range usually, with a bit of close range tossed in from time to time. The environment at hand seemed rather claustrophobic, without much space to move, which could work in her favour if it came to close range, as a sword needs to be swung, while a spear can be used at a longer range and does not to be swung to produce an effect. But for now, she would focus on wearing her opponent down, forcing them to keep their distance. Several fast hand seals followed by a hand slamming onto the ground,

"Doton Kekkai - Dorou Doumu"

The spherical dome of earth would shoot up from underneath her opponent, almost instantaneously and would trap her inside. Of course, she would not stop there, she immediately perform several more hand seals,

"Deido Bunshin no Jutsu!"

She would create three clones around her, as a defensive measure, all made of sticky mud, which could also help to subdue the target if she managed to get out of the dome, which was unlikely. She placed a hand on one of the four spears attached to her back, her Iwa Assaiki Yari. This of course would help in the long range fight as well as in the close range, despite it's greatest close-range asset being hard to use in use confined spaces. Simply touching it brought her comfort, that it was still there to protect her.

And now she waited, ready for anything that came her way...

Doton Ryouuken (Earth Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Special: Dominion extends 10 meters in every direction of the user, and goes up 10 more with each rank learned.
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.
Domain: Doton.

Deido Bunshin (Earth-Mud Clone)
Rank: C, C
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Although defeated by a single attack, the clones have the ability to explode their essence in a 5 meter radius, spreading sticky, constricting mud everywhere. Those affected will have their movement inhibited, suffering from reduced speeds and reaction. When re-learned, the user increases the number of clones they can make by 5; this maxes out when the user reaches 50 clones.
Description: A simple elemental clone technique, this let’s the user create a default number of five mud based clones for his command. Coming forth from an earth or mud source, the clones are basic and meant primarily for distraction and restriction. Its mud, sticky and constricting, can slow d own an opponent’s limbs, especially when many pole upon the user at once.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'C'.

Doton Kekkai – Dorou Doumu (Earth Barrier – Earth Dome Prison)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Chakra absorption for victims within the dome is ten percent per turn. Size, strength, and traveling distance of dome depends on the user's 'Earth Dominion' rank.
Description: This advanced Doton ninjutsu acts as its name implies – it facilitates the user creating a prison around their victims, comprised of pure dirt. After forming the necessary handseals and striking the ground with their hands, the user is able to overturn the earth and cause it to rise up around their opponents. Placing their hands against the dome, they are then able to suck out the chakra from the people trapped inside and bring it back into one’s own body, as well as combine it with his own in order to spread throughout the dome, allowing the suer to repair any damage their opponents manage to inflict on the inside.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'B'.

The girl would quickly perform a set of hand seals, finishing by slamming her palms to the earth. Like a venus fly trap the dome quickly snapped shut enclosing her within it's walls. This was nothing to Masumi as she would utilize a pump up, her arm quickly growing in both size in strength for a brief moment as moisture would engorge it.

'Think she can hold me, eh?'

Drawing suigai she'd cut a rectangle shape into its walls before undoing her pump up, her arm reverting back to normal. While still obscured from being inside an out of sight Masumi would quietly utilize another technique before and intended obfuscated Masumi would kick down the opening she made stepping through sheathing the blade.

Bursting forth she'd exit the confines of her prison, a faint glimmer was left within its walls as she'd take off at her opponent.

"Not bad!"

Masumi would say as she'd draw a kunai closing in upon the two clones and the true Kunocihi. At five meters away she'd toss the kunai and continue upon her path drawing another one with a ivory tail.

Hydration rank is A

Gousuiwan no Jutsu (Strong Water Arm Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: On top of the technique's base rank damage, the boost adds additional damage equal to the Hozuki's highest 'Hydration' rank. Must learn for each limb. Pump-up lasts as long as the Hozuki's 'Liquefaction' limit.
Description: Using their ability to transform their body into water, the Hozuki will reform their limbs, be it arms or legs, into a more muscular form. The muscles of the arm are temporarily enlarged and strengthened by the moisture gathered from the whole body, and as it is compressed into the entire arm, it provides boosts equivalent to an instant pump-up. This stronger limb allows the clan member to deliver more powerful blows with either a weapon or taijutsu in conjunction with the boosted limb. However, because it is essential to properly control the moisture balance inside the body, this technique's degree of difficulty is very high. The trade off for such difficulty? The technique gives the user superhuman strength, capable of cutting through both rock walls and steel doors.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘B’ ranked Hydration.

She was startled that she could get out of the dome. It had to be of A-rank strength of speed. This girl was impressive. Seeing the kunai in time, Aihime stepped to the side, avoiding it and hearing it land in the tree behind her with a loud chunk. She pulled one of the clones towards her, releasing it towards the girl, to stop her advance. Then, just before it made contact, Aihime would release the restraints keeping the mud in position, letting it explode outwards, hopefully showering her opponent in sticky mud. The mud would slow her opponent, make it harder for her to move. Of course, she still had no idea what her opponent's abilities were, but gauging from the escape from the dome, she was a tough customer, with a lot of strength. And those swords looked like trouble.

Stick to the plan...

In precaution that the clone failed, Aihime ordered one of the remaining clones to attack just as the first one had, making the clone explode when it got within range of the target. Meanwhile, Aihime put together a short string of handseals, holding the last one, as a tendril of hard earth rose from the ground below Aihime and her remaining clone, the last clone pulling a kunai from Aihime's pouch and throwing it at the eyes of the girl who would hopefully be trapped. Aihime readied her reactions in case this girl somehow found a way to get around the clones and kunai, ready with a split seconds notice to pull one of her lighter spears from the sheath.

This would be one hard fight...

Doton: Doryūha [ Earth Release: Earth Flow Wave ]
Rank: C
Type: Offensive | Supplementary | Ninjutsu
Range: See Special!
Special: Range equals the maximum known rank of Earth Dominion. Wave is of an average speed. Wave can easily be broken by offensive techniques of equal rank or above. Cannot be manipulated to go any higher or further away from the origin point than the user's maximum Earth Dominion rank. The user must maintain the last handseal used within the string to keep the wave active. If the user's handseal is interrupted, the wave will crumble.
Description: The user creates and rides a wave of earth that can branch off to attack from a distance. Although described as a wave, it is more snake-like than wave-like in appearance. Rocks jut out from every conceivable angle on this tendril, making it easy to climb, as well as easy to break apart. This can be used to gain the high-ground on a target or to safely avoid attacks from Taijutsu-users, such as the Hyuuga.
Domain: Doton, Earth Dominion rank 'C' or above

drawing another one with a ivory tail.

As the other was dodge with a simple step to the side Masumi would throw the tagged kunai at the true one detonating it as the other kamikaze'd her exploding its muddy properties on her as well as the second following suit. Covered in mud her movements were hindered and from above tore a kunai, however it'd pass through the body of the mizu bushin causing her to diverge into a puddle.

Masumi would quietly utilize another technique before and intended obfuscated Masumi would kick down the opening she made stepping through sheathing the blade. Bursting forth she'd exit the confines of her prison, a faint glimmer was left within its walls as she'd take off at her opponent.

The glimmer that as left within the walls was in fact Masumi's shimmering eyes from the oblique rays casted down by the sun. Her ruse was up and the kunoichi rising high above with the trees.Jumping out of the broken concaves of the spherical dome Masumi's hand would clap together creating a loud reverberating sound that passed throught the forest.

"Suiton: Baku Suishouha no jutsu!"

Wave upon wave would crash to the lush earth causing Masumi to rise with the giant wave of her own except hers would be rushing towards her. Eye level with the female, she'd be riding the wave like that of a surfing, but instead of paying extra chakra she'd be using Suberasu, water forming at her heels. She didn't want to reveal her secret yet, so this would do instead of merging with the body of water created.

Riding it towards the enemy kunoichi from 10 meters away she'd perform another set of handseals, windswept hair at her back as water splashed about.

"Suiton: Goshokuzame no jutsu! "

Five man eating sharks would be birthed from the wave and their aim would be to surround the girl and feed their starving bellies. The water provided from the wave would be enough to sustain them as they rushed at speeds greater then its prey. 'Lets see how she fair's against this...'

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Techqniue)Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Explosion range covers 5 meters. For every 4 clones simultaneously detonated over an opponent, the effects of 'Water Prison' can be achieved without needing physical contact. Same 'Prison' effects apply.
Description: With this technique, the Suiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of water, this clone retains the user movement speed and can share linked mental judgement. Best of all, physical strikes fixed on a point within their body will force it to break up into a puddle and join the mass below, able to avoid danger and regenerate anywhere the water exists. Finally, when defeated, the clone explodes into a blob of water that aims to take over the nearest opponent available. If found, the water envelops the victim whole, drowning them in the user's cursed water and setting up more attacks of the same nature.
Domain: Suiton.

Suberasu (Walk of Water)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Doubles user’s maximum movement speed. Though supplementary, ‘activating’ it will always use the default ‘C’ ranked chakra. When sliding over water, chakra cost for the slide is reduced nil.
Description: One of the Hozuki’s greatest advantages comes from their very essence, their viscous jelly substance able to instantly provide the user with a limited yet versatile source of suiton. In this case, the user is able to mold chakra on the same path that’s used to keep their appendages in place, allowing an extra amount of chakra to constantly cover their feet. This chakra allows the user to essentially slide or ‘surf’ across the ground at steady speeds for as long as the user’s chakra network can sustain. Because the water provided comes from the user's jelly, they can ride on any form of surface inclined or flat, as long as they have the chakra and said areas do not pose threats to the Hozuki's life - i.e. fire, thunder, etc. A telltale glassy streak is left behind, a smear of jelly revealing the traveling Hozuki’s next destination.
Domain: Hozuki. ‘C’ ranked Hydration.


Baku Suishouha (Bursting Water Collision Waves)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 40 meters
Special: The waves are delivered with full force, power and speed for the first turn, and then flood an area twice the wave's range. When the user is ‘surfing’ the waves, their movement speed temporarily doubles.
Description: Baku Suishouha is an offensive ninjutsu technique utilizing Suiton. After forming the needed handseals, the user will take a deep breath and appear to expel water from their mouth or gullet. This will then expand into a large volume of water, propelled forwards at high speeds, resulting in powerful initial blasting damage, as well as plenty of water to flood a small village, break down large barriers, or put out large fires. Lastly, if the user wishes, they can push a bit of additional chakra into their feel so that they can essentially walk along the water and even ride it as if they were surfing.
Domain: Suiton.

Goshokuzame (Five Sharks Eating Skill)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Sharks move at double that of its victims, unless the opponents carry a particular bloodline that favors water/underwater life. Due to the pressure of the attacks, they can only be destroyed by ‘A’ ranked attacks and above. Sharks can travel wherever there is water, and exist until they are defeated or run out of water. The user cannot create more batches of sharks until the original five are defeated. The sharks do not distinguish between friend or foe. Requires a water source.
Description: Goshokuzame is a ninjutsu technique utilizing the power of Suiton, and although slightly unconventional due to its environmental prerequisites, nonetheless powerful and deadly. After the user forms the needed hand seals, they will place their hands on the surface of the water in order to transfer their chakra. From here, a shark of condensed water will emerge from each of the user’s fingertips, ordered only for one thing – to attack, maim and kill all opponents who reside in the water below.
Domain: Suiton.
