Safety [p]

Safety.

It was a precious commodity, one hard to come by as of late. Having just blitzed his way across not one but rather two nations, Hachirou would find himself exhausted and worn ragged.

His legs wobbling as if consisting of jelly, he'd collapse to the ground with his back propped up against a rather large oak tree. Maybe it'd be safe now? Perhaps.

He'd close his eyes for just a moment or two. It wouldn't be too long... right?

[Masakuni?!]

-Burning with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns!

Who is that?

He wasn't a shinobi of the Leaf, that much was certain. He wasn't displaying an allegiance in the form of a head-band or symbol. His hair was like ash, and cut relatively close to his head, compared to most. Tsukune frowned. The man wasn't far from Konoha. It could be an accident, but he felt the need to be wary of anyone who came this close, even if it was supposedly coincidental. He reached back, his hand dipping into his gear and withdrawing the wickedly pointed circle of a shuriken.

He flung the shuriken, the weapon likely thudding into the space between the man's legs. Any red-blooded human male would notice the sharp metal no more than an inch away from his genitals. As he threw it, Tsukune emerged from the forest, ten metres from the man, his hands already forming seals in preparation. He would hold the technique in readiness, not releasing it until he got his proper answers. “Who are you? What are you doing in these lands? Speak quickly, or die.”

Zzz... finally free... zzz free at la-

Thud! His eyes would open slowly from the sound projecting about his loins as he'd more than hazily come to. Hands rubbing his eyes rather slowly, a lazy yawn would sound till he'd finally spot the lad before him.

Another stranger was it? A skeptical look would form as he wait for his vision to focus. Oh phew, it's not the foreigner. It was after the first glance that he'd pay no heed to the man what so ever. A hand raising to his lips, he'd press a finger against it gently while forming a single syllable.

"Shhh..."

Wasn't it obvious enough that Hachirou was trying to sleep?!

[Masakuni?!]

-Burning with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns!

Shh.

Tsukune narrowed his eyes at the man. Who the heck was he? Who did he think he was? Well, he had been warned. He wasn't interested in playing around. He could play it cautious, drop his technique, and talk things out with the man. Of course, that could get him killed. It was a common tactic to take advantage of an enemy's reluctance to kill, just to get close to him and take him out. Well, Tsukune was no idiot, and he wouldn't be caught like that. Not like his parents had been. Shoot first, ask questions later.

Tsukune let his technique fly, directly at the man, crossing the distance between them in a little over a second. The moment it landed, it would explode, creating a massive burst of fire that expanded in all directions, resulting in a burst of violent flame eight metres across, centred right on the man's forehead. Tsukune held his ground, his eyes narrowed at the spot, his hands forming seals for another technique, just in case the man hadn't been charred to a crisp by his attack.

Endan (Fireball)
Rank: C, C, C, C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid Low
Special: Distance and speed at which the fireball can travel before automatically igniting depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Additionally, fireball size and explosion area will always be equal to 1/5th of the user's 'Enkou Shinka' size. Finally, each time retrained, an additional 'C' ranked amount of damage is added on as a bonus to the explosion. However, after every 4th training, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: Although basic, the fireball technique is nonetheless efficient and deadly. After forming the necessary handseals, the shinobi will expel a jet stream of fire from their mouth, which quickly forms into a large fireball. The user can fire this ball off in any direction they wish, resulting in a small explosion upon impact.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck!

His eyes would ignite with fear as the fiery mass surged forth towards his direction. Was this kid crazy?! Shit, he was in an even worse position than before. Perhaps he should of stayed in Stone with the lesser of two evils.

Body worn ragged, he'd make a last ditch effort to avoid, his muscles tensing as he'd fall to his side (rather than taking precious time to stand up right) in order to dart off more quickly. Pressing off with his legs while at the appropriate angle during his short descent, he'd shunpo forward, hopefully resulting in minimization of the blast's damage.

More likely than not, he would be caught up in the outer skirts of the explosion, forcing his body to crash against the ground.

"What the hell kid?!?"

[Masakuni?!]

-Burning with the red hot intensity of a thousand suns!

Grr.

Tsukune was starting to see red, a bit, now. The man didn't even have the courtesy to die simply. The man managed to escape, moving in a fast motion that seemed reminiscent of a shinobi. So he definitely wasn't a civilian, whatever he seemed like at first. That solidified Tsukune's concerns. He would take this man down, and make it happen quick. He finished his newest technique, never letting up on the stream of attacks he was perpetrating on his newest enemy. This guy wouldn't find his way to Konoha. Not ever.

Tch.

As the man was finding himself crashing against the ground, he would find himself greeted with another powerful flame technque; this one, in the shape of a dragon's head, would seek the man just as fast as the last one, crossing the distance in the short time the man found himself crashing against the ground; there could be almost no way he would find a way to escape from this. Its blast would explode again, this time sixteen metres in diametre, eight metres in all direction from the man. The flames would stop just short of Tsukune, likely ending the man's life in a burst of flames. Tsukune was still ready, however....

Nine metres distant.

Gouryuuka no Jutsu (Great Dragon Fire Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: High Mid
Special: Distance and speed at which the dragon heads can travel depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Dragon heads measure 1/5th of one's 'Enkou Shinka' distance. Up to 1 dragon head can be fired, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, chakra consumption shall go up by one. Upon contact, dragon heads explode in a napalm like nature, spreading the flames all around in a radius equal to the size of its head; each explosion contains bonus burning damage equivalent to the stacked 'Great Fireball' retraining. As with 'Great Fireball', when using this jutsu, the user must be standing still in order to control the powerful blasts of fire.
Description: An evolution of the Great Fireball, the user is now able to take the flames expelled and morph them into fast moving projectiles. Fierce and potent, this Katon ninjutsu allows the user to expel fireballs in the form of a dragon’s head after forming the needed hand seals. Shot from the mouth, these powerful fireballs can punch through concrete and wood with ease, and leaves a terrible fiery explosion in its wake.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'. Goukakyuu no Jutsu.

It just wasn't his day now was it?

The shinobi's timing was spot on, cruel but rather spot on. The fiery dragon would arrive no sooner had Hachirou made impact to the ground, resulting in a smoldering, billowing pillar of smoke that would arise from his corpse.

He was charred to death and that was that...
