Katsu vs Agi vs Ardent

[Katsumaru]

Setting: Forest. No wind. Middle of the day.
Rules: 20 meter starting distance. No attacks/techs on first post.

All gear in bio on me.

A frown covered Jiyuu’s face, hidden by the gas mask – he has developed a peculiar fondness for that tool – best be prepared, eh? Standing in-between two trees, one five meters to the right, and another seven to the left. Damned he be – it seemed as if he could never escape the struggle of war.

[Kael]

As was this one. Kael had his own tools on him. The swords on his back were ready to be dawn. Around him was an aura of power that seemed to rattle his very soul. Though his shark instincts would not let this happen. Fighting would be his end. It was marked in the nindo he carried as a haiku in his pocket.


I carry it out

To hold true to my promise

Defend my honor

After thinking about his words he puts on a stern face and steeled himself for the dialogues to come.

[Katsumaru]

Jiyuu stood amongst the trees with gritted teeth, his knuckles, whitened from the clench, trembling. He shook not with fear, but from an intense fury and shame entrenched deeply within his heart. Wherefrom cometh that fury? Hubris. Supreme hubris. Wherefrom cometh that shame? Joy. The joy he found in war.

Left arm extended, a click released a single senbon towards Nina’s chest. Pulling his arm over, a second click revealed yet another senbon, this one aimed at Kael’s chest. They flew at twice their speed, but despite that increased velocity, the needles alone cannot cause extensive damage, their penetrative abilities unable to pierce the chest. They were but a distraction for what followed after with the intertwined hands beginning the dance of seals, taking a mere second to unleash the Shikigami’s gift. Paper sprung forth from his figure, morphing into twelve shuriken, each with a half-meter radius. During their flight, they split into two groups of six, which themselves further split.The first six shuriken targeted Nina. Three shuriken approached from the left, and three from the right, their approach an inward arc. The remaining six shuriken targeted Kael, three side by side rushing towards his neck, and three, also side by side, coming for the thighs. Upon completing the seals –as the shuriken were underway- both of his hands slipped into a pouch to pull forth kunai, the gray metal suppressed by white sheets. With a flick of the wrists, Jiyuu released both, one at Nina’s legs and the other at Kael’s chest.

These maneuvers were rather quick to complete - simply extending his arm to fire the senbon, forming a mere two seals, and throwing kunai - not as hasty as a man honed in the use of his body, but fast nonetheless for what he had accomplished: attacking the opponent with senbon, kunai, and numerous shuriken of paper, sure to provide for at least a slight struggle.

[Kael]

"-Tch."

It seemed that this man had some rather unique toys with him. Though Kael was not the only one being attacked. A young lady was also the target of an attack though right now he had to worry about himself. His hands melded together as he hopped to the side dodging the senbon forming a few handseals to match what his foe was doing. 1 handseal would shoot water out of his mouth and match those paper creations making them into noodles. He was a rather long range fighter so his time went to crafting more seals. This time he would sift through 1 seal in attempt to create 3 clones of water for his various purposes to come.

Hopefully the other shinobi would notice that Kael isn't a threat to her yet.

Suiton

Tier 1 - Fluid Sealing: Taking on the aspect of water themselves, it is said that masters of suiton cannot be rivaled in how quickly they can perform their hand seals. Because of this, the hand seal count for all suiton-based jutsu is reduced by two seals (with the absolute lowest being 1 hand seal needed to cast a technique).

Tier 2 - Air to Water: Water is everywhere, from the clouds to the earth, and even in the very air that we breathe. With further understanding of water and its many relationships with other natural elements and entities, the user becomes able to generate a wide variety of suiton-based jutsu (a-rank and below) without the need of a water source.

Hoshigake

Tier One - King of the Sea: The ocean, itself, is just as much a part of the Hoshigake as their shark ancestors which bestowed upon them such fearsome, unprecedented power. This has led to many of the Hoshigake becoming masters of the suiton element. Due to this symbiotic relationship between the two, Hoshigake of this level can reduce the cost of all suiton based jutsu by one tier.

Suiton Ryuuken (Water Dominion)
Rank: [D,C,B, A, S.]
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 30 meters.
Handseals: No.

D: 10 meters.
C: 15 meters.
B: 20 meters.
A: 25 meters.
S: 30 meters.

Description: Suiton, the often mystic ability to control water at one's will. Though one cannot create their own amount of water, they can control any previously formed body of it, bending the source at their will and making it highly malleable. From prison type techniques to simple overwhelming the user with an abundance of waves, Suiton is truly a release to be feared once mastered.
Domain: Suiton.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Techqniue) [3 Clones]
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary.
Range: Range determined by Dominion rank.
Handseals: 3.
Chakra: Mid per clone created.
Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained, for a maximum of five (5). As elemental clones, they cannot exist outside the user's 'Suiton Ryuuken' range in terms of distance away from their creator, and as such, can never exit the thread they were made in nor travel unless by their creator's side. Due to their watery nature, water clones can absorb attacks one rank lower than their maximum 'Suiton Ryuuken' rank mainly by altering the density of their water; any attack above that will instantly burst them. When defeated, clone explodes in a mist of water. Finally, because they are mentally linked their creator, water clones can use any c-rank or lower suiton based jutsu their creator knows.
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 strength. Best of all, due to its flowing essence, the water clone is capable of using a hefty amount of the original user's suiton-based techniques either for defensive means or offensive.
Domain: Suiton.

Teppoudama (Bullet) x8

Description: A simple yet effective suiton technique, after forming the necessary hand seals, the user manifests bullet sized water projectiles in their mouth, which can then spit at their opponent at fast speeds for a quick attack. As the user’s knowledge of the this technique increases, so does the amount of bullets they can fire off.
Domain: Suiton.

The battle had began as the Nina would notice the grizzled man to her right raise his hands up to fire some sort of projectile at her. At this range, such an attack would have been utterly useless, and with a little reasoning, Nina had figured it was simply a distraction for something more dangerous. Alas she was right.

A quick sidestep would be all it took to have the senbon graze past her. Never did she have her eyes leave her opponent^Katsumaru, however. He would begin to do handseals, and rather than attempt to interrupt them, she simply watched in curiosity. At this range she knew she could easily stop mostly any attack he had to throw at her, and she needed to know exactly what this guy was made of. Soon paper swirled around him, taking it's time to form into what was roughly 10 to 12 shuriken, Nina deduced. What was most intresting however, was the paper which erected itself from the man's body and formed itself.

Paper was inorganic, and was within Nina's grasp. She controlled the battle now. Her attention turned to the paper shuriken, still in formation. A simple mental command would turn each and every shuriken into a floating, half meter piece of crystal.¹ The process left no time for the shuriken to begin their intended flight, and each and everyone of them remained hovering in the air. A smirk crossed Nina's face as the crystal constructs exploded in a dazzling display, sending a plethora of huge crystal shrapnel into the man^Katsumaru. Judging from the amount of shurikens suspended in the air, and the unexpected nature of the attack as well as the piercing capabilities of her crystal, this attack would prove nearly fatal if he was unable to avoid it.

These actions, only requiring a small interval of focus, allowed Nina to swiftly move in for a finishing blow. Seven handseals would be formed with ease and precision, with it came the birth of two streams of deadly crystals by Nina slamming her hand onto the ground before her.² The fatal spikes, 3 meters tall and half a meter wide with the entire stream being 2 and a half meters wide would be birthed at lightning fast speeds in a path to the man to Nina's right^Katsumaru, and the unknown man to Nina's left^Kael, and would not stop their straight on path until they reached the outer limit's of her dominion. The spikes aimed to pierce Katsumaru and Kael throughout their body, running them through and killing them in a single blow. If these men were unable to dodge her attacks, they would meet a swift defeat.
