• Special Info: All T1 rules are in play.

I would stand ten meters away from where my opponent with be. Like a true warrior, I had stepped into the arena with all my powers at the ready. Confident in my abilities, and willing to give it my all, to show that I think my opponent is of equal status on the battle field, and would not treat him with disrespect. I readied myself, waiting to see who my opponent was, and what they would have had in store for me.

[Jett Kuroi]

Jett entered the arena from one of the upper platforms, descending the stairs with hands stuffed into pants pockets. When he got to the bottom of the stairs he would remove his hands from those pockets, and give a bow and a grin to his opponent. Of course, with the mask, the grin was unseen. One of these days ... he would remember that. "Ohayo." He said in greeting, before getting into stance to prepare for the fight.

[KEITH]

I watched as my opponent would descend down into the arena, smiling at him as he would speak, nodding my head at him as he would prepare himself to fight. With that, we would receive the signal to start the combative portion of our meeting. It was up to me to make the first move, and being specialized within Taijutsu, I would figure that it was best to get in close range of my opponent as quickly as possible. It could be a favor for both of us, or one of us, but what I would have hoped for was obvious. With impressive speed, the distance between us would have been devoured by my aggressive rush in, and as I would, chakra would gather within my legs. I sent chakra down to them, strengthening with an enormous amount of raw chakra, though my opponent wouldn't know this, unless he would have had some sort of chakra sensing ability.

[Jett Kuroi]

Jett was no stranger to speed. On occassion, he had been praised for his speed, but he was still only a Genin, and he was amazed by his opponents speed. He instinctively took a few steps back to add to the distance between them, but he could not afford to simply marvel at his opponents speed. That could be done after the match. Instead, he began forming seals, and building up his chakra. He wasn't sure what specialty his foe had, taijutsu or ninjutsu. A desire for close-range combat did not tell him enough, but he knew how to defend himself in close quarters. Once his seals were finished, and his chakra summoned, he let it out.^1A

His whole body gave off an electric glow that would eventually burst in a flash; an attempt to blind his foe, even if only momentarily, and give himself a chance for the offensive. His feet kept shuffling backward, an unconscious need for at least a little space, to move into action, regardless of the results of his first jutsu.

[KEITH]

My speed was truly something spectacular, it would have enabled me to move quickly toward my opponent, even if he would back-peddle. Unfortunately for my opponent, back-peddling wasn't the best option for him to do, he would probably move at half the speed he normally could. Though he would have formed handseals for his technique while he did, he wouldn't realize that what he was doing was inefficient. I had moved at twice the speed my opponent would have normally moved, though back-peddling, which would probably half his speed, meaning I would have been moving almost three times faster than him.

The distance between them would have been within a meter before he would have finished his set of seals, and quickly, I my speed would increase even further as I would lift up my left hand with my palm extended. Whether he would have executed his technique or not would not have mattered, for he wouldn't have been able to escape my technique at this range. I would have shot my left palm into the solar plexus of my foe, with enough force to send him tumbling backwards six meters. His chance of dodging the technique was low, due to my height which aided to my reach; though if he would have done something to counter me, I would have drawn a kunai from my holster, ready to follow up with another attack if needed.

Rank: B, B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: High
Special: Knock-back range equals 5 meters, plus 1 more each time retrained.
Description: By unconsciously feeding their chakra into their palms, the user will quickly rush forward, driving the charged appendage forward and into their opponent. The result is devastating, with all the accumulated power of the palm being unloaded onto the user's victim. Finally, with all the chakra released, the opponent's body is knocked back several feet, left to rag-doll and wither.

Jett had not, for one instant, beleived his opponent could surge their speed even faster in the midst of their assault. That was his first mistake. However, in the heat of the moment, it was either lose the chakra and protect himself, or let the technique go and hopefully blind his target for hopefully the same amount of time it would take him to shake free of the daze he would most assuredly be in from the incoming assault. In the end, his consideration would have to be quick. At the second to last seal, he would stop, moving one hand up to block the assault.

Knowing already, that his foe could have other secrets stoweed away, his other hand would move to the hilt of one of his kodachi, prepared for defensive manuevers in blocking a possible follow-up assault. In the meantime, he would let loose one of his own secrets. Hidden under the sleeve of his black dogi, was a retractable wrist blade. It would be allowed to shoot out, as he made his attempt to block that incoming fist. Whether or not he could withstand, and block such a massive strike, was hoped for, but worst case scenario, he could at least hope to slice open that hand, and give his foe something to worry about.

[KEITH]

Naive. The young boy who had been my opponent was, deciding to end his jutsu in an attempt to confront me head on. He had a nice little trick for me, but unfortunately, I would have been superior in skill and equipment. The hand that he would have raged in order to block my palm strike was a mistake, even with his retractable blade coming toward me. Whether I am able or not to turn my palm sideways, to exert all of the power behind my palm strike in his arm or not, my hand and forearm gear would protect me.

Within the padded gear, was layers of steel, and upon the outside and inside of my gear, I had spikes, which would grind against my opponent blade as I would strike his hand, completely protected from the retractable blade. The power and force that would have come from my palm into his hand would be devastating to the young boy, on impact of the attack. The bones within his wrist, and probably along his forearm would have been crushed, rendering the hand and arm useless. While, at the same time he would have brought out his sword, I used my kunai to block and hold him off, both of us within a meter of each other.

Chakra would then grow from my kunai, increasing its length by a bit, though the blade of my foe's would be severed in half as I would have pushed my kunai against it as it did this, cutting through it like a hot knife through butter. I would have kept pushing until it would have went all the way through, and in one swift motion, I brought it back toward me, but not without cutting deeply into the forearm of my foe's arm. If successful, both of his arms would have been considered useless; hand to hand wasn't the kids forte'.

Hien (Flying Swallow)
Rank: B, B, B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: See Special!
Chakra: High [cast] Mid [upkeep]
Special: Extends the blade of any bladed weapon through chakra by fifty percent (50%) of the blade's total length the first time learned; each time retrained, ten percent (10%) of the blade's total length is added, up to one-hundred percent (100%).
Description: By unconsciously feeding their chakra into any bladed weapon, the user will manage to extend the length of the weapon by providing an extra extension of visible chakra. This creation will yield an extremely sharp edge that functions like the normal blade itself. By seeing only the user's bladed weaponry, the opponent may miss the Hien and misjudge how far they need to move to avoid an incoming strike. As a result, even if they manage to avoid the metal portion of the blade, the chakra portion may cut into them as well.

[Jett Kuroi]

Have I really advanced at all? Was the praise I received just to console my fragile mind? I havn't received any mentoring since my graduation from the academy, and as such, am I lacking in lessons and experience? It was enough to make him angry. His teeth gnashed together, as his wrist blade missed. It missed!? How could it miss!?

He staggered, the first blow indeed putting enough force on his wrist and arm to cause damage. The bone wouldn't break cleanly, which was a gift and a curse. His arm dropped to his side immediately, pulling it up against his side to keep it still and avoid any further damage. But then, there was the other problem. The kunai's 'blade' was getting longer and sharper, and it was cutting through his kodachi. How!? Jett released the hilt, and quickly hopped backward. The man's speed was unable to be surpassed, at least in this moment. This match was already over. Before the blade could be cut clean through by the kunai, Jett released it. He let go of the hilt, letting it be cut, and drop to the ground, as he put his chakra into his feet, and bound away.^2A

Even as his body bound away, a yelp of pain would escape his lips, and blood would spatter the floor. His body shook. It was not from fear though, it was from the combination of frustration, at the fact that he was just ... so amazingly far away, and anger, over how weak it all made him look. Such was coupled with that voice in his head. Pathetic weakling. That ended so quickly. Have you learned anything? Have you done anything? If you don't shape up, dipshit, even I won't be able to keep you from dieing. His teeth gnashed together, and his eyes blazed with the fury, but he would bow his head, and breath as slowly as he could manage, to fight to get himself in control. Eventually, his left arm, bloody from a gash that apparently couldn't be avoided, rose to signal his surrender.

[KEITH]

With the singal of his surrender, my chakra would cease to flow through my kunai, and I would bow to my opponent. I had claimed victory, but it was best to not let such a thing go to my head. Next time, this boy could come after me ago, and be a force I couldn't even handle. I smiled, and bowed to the boy; in a burst of speed, I would flicker away.

"Kss..." uttered Jett's voice softly. It was too quiet, and so a word could not be discerned from the sound. In time, however, it repeated, and grew louder each time. "Kss... Kuss... Kuso.... KUSO!" He dropped to his knees, panting from the exertion of holding back his anger, and punched the floor with his left hand. Which, he instantly regretted. Medic's eventually came to his side, but he merely cursed out his frustrations as they tended to him.
