Ferocity [spade, hotaruki]

[✘TAIGA]

Up early Hotarubi was feeling simply great as she left her perch from her window, leaping onto the rooftops, she yawned, her arms stretching above her head. Clear skies, cool breezes, warm smells, and the frivolous banter of the villagers below. Yes, this was Konhagakure early in the morning. The sun was hiding behind thin clouds ivory, its rays weakened from being blocked.

(grinning) "It's gonna be a good day!"

Wide smile upon her face, and her arms casually behind her head, she decided to go get some early morning practice in. With her red jacket rustling in the breeze, she took her usual route down from the rooftops-skidding down the vertical surface of a building near the alley and than hitting the clamorous, dirt streets of Konoha. Taking the usual route she used to get to her special practicing area, she was greeted by the welcoming smiles of the villagers.

"Maybe I should take another mission?"

Hotarubi said allowed without really thinking it as she pushed her body up. "One Hundred and two" Keeping count a bead of sweat down her face, landing on her lip, its taste was salty-bittersweet. For a moment she cringed, but soon ignored it and went back to her push-ups.The surrounding area was nice, wide open, grassy fields, boulders of varying size, a few trees here and there, it was a pretty good place to get some practice in.

Man, Asato was stressed out this morning because his mom was bugging out on him for no reason. It was too early for that, so he simply got up and left. Grabbing his trusty Chokuto, and Katana with him, he strapped the duo onto his hip and went off on his merry way. Humming a melody of sorts, he was on his way to a place where liked just liked to chill, and relax, think about shit, you know? Greeting whatever familiar faces he saw on the way, he walked down the streets of Konohagakure, until he got to his little route.

Taking the dirt path down some, he'd reach his destination in a few moments. Nobody was out today, but it was most likely because it was way too early. It was about seven in the morning last time he checked, everyone was either at work, going to work, or sleeping. Something he would have been doing if his mom didn't wake him up, and then continue to scream at him. Man, those woman can be so demanding sometimes.

Reaching the entrance, he noticed a girl with blonde hair working out. What the fuck? "Yo~ I didn't know other people knew about my spot." He said with a saddened expression on his face, he came to relax, but there was some random person just working out. Oh man, this was going to be a long day.

[Nhar'qual]

Sliding his mask up his Hunter-nin mask up and away from his face he watched the clouds as he sat down. He had been training for hours now. And suprsingly had kept the area from being scorched and burned. Calming his breathing he let his rest extend as he began glancing about the area. The day was beginning for most now, and as such he'd have to go meet up with the other Hunter-nin soon, but now was his personal training time.

Sitting up from his resting spot he popped his neck to the side as he began rolling his shoulders, yawning slightly even. "Nghh, get's boring some times."

[/color] Tapping his cheek he began undoing his wrist tape before reapplying them to tighten them up, but at this time a blond haired girl had walked into the area and began her own work out. Ignoring her for a short while he found himself speaking to her finally.

"Sup?"[/color]

What he spoke was simple, but it was a greeting nonetheless. And almost three seconds after he spoke this greeting, a new individual appeared, this time a male. Seems like this area was used a lot for training, though the young male claimed this area as his "spot". "Sup lil' bro?"[/color]
[/left][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[✘TAIGA]

It took a moment of Hotarubi to realize someone else had stumbled upon her most favorite spot. Finishing her last push up, she pushed herself upright, her pig tails falling back into their normal position. Slanted amber eyes surveyed the kid before her, he wasn't much a man, just a child and he had the nerve to call this place his? Such tom-foolery she thought, brows furrowed with agitation.

(sucking teeth) "Your spot? Pssh.. don't get ahead of yourself!"

Speaking haughtily she crossed her arms across her flat chest, staring down the dude with intensity. Than it hit her, there was another peep in the spot as well, he'd greeted her, but the kid standing before her had pissed her off and she had simply forgot. Rolling her eyes, Hotarubi turned her head. It was at least good to acknowledge people.

"Oi!"

Hotarubi said as she grabbed her customized chokuto, and strapping it to her back. She also picked her her red track jacket, sliding her arms back into it and leaving it unzipped. Hotarubi still wasn't so hot on others knowing about this place, even if the other dude was more respectful, he was at least on his way to manhood. A wry, devilish grin flashed across her face, revealing a wide grin. Maybe she could use these two to chart her own progression, she could use an actual sparring match to test her capabilities.

(grinning) "You two, how about some sparring, we can see who's training here has brought them the furthest. Winner can claim the spot!"

[spade]

Another voice alerted Asato, and he immediately looked down. He really didn't notice this guy, man, guess some people just weren't important? Turning his attention to the undeveloped little girl, he chuckled to himself. Why did people get so mad when Asato spoke? What did he say this time that would piss someone off? "Yeah, my spot." He emphasized, the same smile he came in with, stayed on his face. He really didn't mind these people here, as long as they'd shut up and let him sleep.

"Alright look, you two do what-" What, she wanted to spar? Did she think he came here to train? Did they both think that's why he was here? Not at all, he had way better spots to train at then here, it's just this place is more secluded, so it's easier to have a nap and relax without getting interrupted. But, it looked like it couldn't be avoided. "Ugh. I only came here to sleep, but, I'll make a special exception this one time." Who knew, maybe these two were worth it, maybe he'd get his ass kicked? No, never that.

Positioning himself ten meters from the two, his sky blue orbs focused on both of them for the time being. He wasn't going to underestimate these two. "Shall we?" He asked, while his hands clashed together to form a melody of sorts containing the very familiar zodiac signs.

This little girl was clearly quite the competitor, she must love training as much as he did. He didn't really want this spot, it was just some place he had found not too long ago, but since the other guy had claimed it as his own and decided to disrespect the female, he decided he'd give both the girl and boy what they wanted. Gripping his fists tightly he popped his knuckles, and as the boy moved away, Haruki mirrored this, putting him fifteen meters from the boy, and about ten from the girl. While simultaneously forming hand-seals he prepared a technique, having chose to not give either of them leeway when it came to his techniques and their power. And if any of them suffered any life threatening harm they were lucky to be in the village, along with being not too far from the hospital.

And after his hand-seals were finished he faked as if he was about to exhale some type of elemental technique, while his technique's reality was activated one of his most useful techniques, one that could make an entire battle field spell sheer doom for almost everyone. The other two would feel things heatin' up

Ground cannot be moist or wet in general. Additionally, if the technique is in play and rain is brought upon the area the technique will cease. Although the user is not damaged by the heat, their heat can still set anything nearby ablaze if it's susceptible, which in turn CAN harm the user. Suiton jutsu 'B' ranked and above can automatically cancel the heat.
Description: Once the user performs and finishes a string of handseals, the ground the user stands upon will heat up. The heat is so extreme that anything within a specific radius will slowly melt. Due to this, any caught victim will find their movement's decrease considerably, their footwear stuck due to the fusion of heat and melted material. Even better, if the opponent isn’t wearing any footwear the technique will cause first degree burns upon the soles of their feet and grow into second degree burns if they remain atop the burning ground for too long!

(grinning) "Of course!"

Replying and grinning, Hotarubi was excited this kid had accepted her offer, although it didn't seem like he was too interested, but she'd have his full attention soon enough. Were these suppose to be men of Konoha, already they were backing up a few meters, seemed like they were all vagina tight she thought, almost letting out a hoarse laugh from her lips.

"So many hand seals going on here huh?"

Speaking whilst her hands met, intertwining, as chakra rushed and perforated her inner chambers. Hotarubi was ready to unleash the Gods winds upon her foes. The man with silver hair had seemed to exhale something, but the only change was the feeling of heat rising steadily. What exactly was he up to she thought as she drew air into her lips. "Fuuton: Shinkūha no jutsu!"

With the slight movement of her head whipping in both their directions and solitary blade of wind, roughly twenty meters in length would cut through the air, hurled towards both of them, but they'd stop directly at both fighters feet, the ground, splitting apart as loose sediment and dirt was kicked up, not offering any reprieve, Hotarubi took off for the kid who said he owned this place. She'd show him chumps weren't allowed to spout such ignorance.

"Here I come kid!"

Already she had crossed the threshold of four meters and going. She sought to break the distance and end him quickly. With the guise of her ploy attack, she was confident she'd caught him off guard with the sudden twenty meter blade of wind landing directly before him, but behind that guise all could hear if they focused, was a quiet pop!

The battle has started, and Asato wasn't about to lose in one move, no no. Observing the scene, he noticed the man creating hand seals, then proceeding to exhale - Asato expecting something to come out from his mouth was quite surprised, but he didn't let that distract him. Oddly enough, the temperature around him increased. Did he alter the heat in the area? Oh well it didn't matter, because the girl was on the move as well. As she began making seals, he sprinted to the left away from the man, and the flat chested punk - his hands still forming seals.

A blade of wind was sent hurling towards both him and the other dude, but since he continued to move he was in the clear, and the rubble that was meant to distract him, had no effect whatsoever. His peripheral vision catching the girl begin to move, he'd stop instantly - as the girl closed the distance, the chakra that was stored in his chest immediately released itself - sending water blasting forward with immense pressure, which would no doubt knock her away causing blunt damage. "Tch.." Water still spilling out, the ground was now cooled, and the heat that was once in the air, was now gone. The water now covered the ground 10x10x10, he was in his own dominion now, whoever stepped into the water was now in his territory.

Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 40 meters
Chakra: High
Special: The waves are delivered through the user's mouth and proceed to rapidly flood out an entire area. When the user is ‘surfing’ the waves, their movement speed temporarily doubles. Flooding depends on how long the user spends time spewing water, and as a result, amounts are measured by height, width and length.

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.

They'd go after each other, possibly ignorant to the fact that the rising heat had slowed their movements due to their shoes melting enough to stick slightly to the ground as they ran. Nonetheless they were after each others throats. And as the girl began going after the other boy, and the boy dashed to his left, Haruki began hand seals, preparing himself to face what ever the boy had prepared. Working swiftly he aimed to catch the two together as he found himself jumped and hanging by a tree branch, his feet pushing flat against the side of the tree as ash was exhaled towards the two younger shinobi. And then with a simply click of his teeth, it'd explode violently with death and doom as a promise, though he wouldn't let them die should they be caught in the explosion.

With the slight movement of her head whipping in both their directions and solitary blade of wind, roughly twenty meters in length would cut through the air, hurled towards both of them, but they'd stop directly at both fighters feet, the ground, splitting apart as loose sediment and dirt was kicked up, not offering any reprieve, Hotarubi took off for the kid who said he owned this place. your handseals would be interrupted, especially since you didn't acknowledge my attack sharkk.

Also I'm Tai Prime, so I'd still be faster than you guys if not equal.

With the guise of her ploy attack, she was confident she'd caught him off guard with the sudden twenty meter blade of wind landing directly before him, but behind that guise all could hear if they focused, was a quiet pop!

"Fūton: Shinkūgyoku no jutsu!"

Hand-seals already done, without warning just as the pompous boy would stand still, he'd find Hotarubi expelling compressed bullets of air towards him from no more than four to five meters away, from such range dodging such a fast attack would prove most difficult as each shot was aimed for a special part of his body. The first two were aimed at his left leg, both the lower part and the higher, same with the following two except they target his other leg. The next two were aimed for his arm and side, and the last bullet was aimed for his opposing shoulder.

He wouldn't be offered time to puke up whatever it was he desired, but he wasn't the only concern, Hotarubi hadn't forgot about the other man, so she'd send him a gift of sorts. With him being no more than twenty meters away if that, Hotarubi would utilize shunpo to flank the man with almost unfathomable speeds. First it'd be a retracting shunpo, than a variant that would allow her to curve so she'd appear at his righter-most side, roughly five meters from him, her feet sliding against the ground as her arm was coked back, wind chakra gathering.

"Fūton: Kamaitachi no jutsu!"

As Hotarubi's arm was swung a funnel of temperamental gusts surged forth at him, seeking to engulf him and than uplift him into the sky where he'd receive multiple minor cuts before being dropped harshly to the ground.

Range: 10 meters
Special: The user can expel one (1) more bullet each time retrained. 10 max.

Mixing the air with their own chakra, they will than expel up to five (5) small spherical bullets of wind. Each shot will be expelled simultaneously, leaving but a second to adjust for aiming purposes. The shots will travel at twice the speed, but do the same amount of damage as thrown projectiles. Piercing through clothing, to cut the flesh beneath.
Domain: Fūton

Kamaitachi (Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: C, C
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 10+ meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Size of tunnel opening measures 5 meters, and wind blasts can travel 10 meters; each time relearned, the mouth grows by 5 meters and the blast itself travels an extra 10 meters..
Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling wind chakra at either their weapon or limb, the user swings it around and brings forth a most intense tornado, coming out from the weapon/arm. Once it strikes the user, the tornado tips upward and takes the user up, keeping them imprisoned by the strong currents, and delivering multiple waves of cutting/slicing damage onto their bodies, as well as dropping them hard onto the ground afterward.

Special: Gives the user the option to perform a Shunpo that allows the user to curve in the direction of their target. If the target is out of the user's Shunpo range, the user will be drawn as close as possible.
Description: Although Shunpo is normally executed in a linear fashion, with enough training, the Taijutsu Master can learn to read an opponent's movement and Shunpo in a curved way towards their target's last known location. With the angled attack, it increases the user's ability to strike after the Shunpo.

This essentially allows rapid movement to retreat or create distance between user and opponent.
Domain: Shunpo.

Asato's sky blue oculars were focused on the female at this point, nothing more, nothing less. As she inhaled deeply, plus coupled with the handseals she made a second earlier meant she was attacking. The slightest movement in his opponent's silhouette resulted in Asato moving from his current position, and leaping towards the left, avoiding the enkou shinka by moving through the air, so it wouldn't affect his speed. Landing five meters to the left he dodged the incoming air bullets, and watched as Hotarubi turned her back on him and moved towards the other ninja.

"Idiot." Instead of continuing his seals, his digits fumbled through his pouch and withdrew a ivory projectile¹. Instantly releasing the projectile from the grip of his palms, it raced forth, spiraling through the air. By the time the girl had used her technique on the other man, the ivory projectile would have reached the two, forming one seal - it blew up sending shrapnel from the projectile, as well as damage from the blast. Be warned, the projectile moved fast, and since the foolish girl turned her back on the mighty genin, she'd be open for a easy attack. Let's see if she could struggle to get to her feet after this one, but Asato highly doubted she'd be conscious.

The other man should have received minor damage from the blast, as it did cover ten meters in radius - easily covering both genin in the damage.

He was cut off due to the girl's speed. Yet, her coming out of her hyperspace like funnel, he'd hear her movements. As such he was able to react accordingly. As such instead of taking the brunt of her attack he'd only suffer about half the damage he would have, yet it still had hit him enough to send him well into the air, about twelve meters due to his jump to avoid half of the attack.

Because of this, as he began descending back to the ground with minor wounds, he'd watch as an explosion took place below, though he was out of it's range, so he'd avoid any more physical harm. And instead of wasting more chakra he reached into his own pouches, retrieving ten noted' shuriken, throwing them towards the other male and around him before forming the needed movements to cause the shuriken to explode, could he dodge all ten, ten meter explosions?!

Your time is off, I responded to you stopping, IE: the moment you'd attempt to spill the 10x10x10 baku. I'd however interrupt it before it would reach such, but how do you answer back so quickly, you'd have to cancel the jutsu process and also dodge, next from my post enkou shinka never happened because it was interrupted as Interrupted you. Your actions aren't happening as fast as you believe. Just throwing that out there.

It seemed like jutsu would never touch this kid, it didn't matter she'd just meet him up close and personal. As for the other kid, her plan happened, albeit a few differing results that she hadn't expected, and also the sound of metal whistling through the air, alerted Hotarubi to the danger that was spiraling towards her. Quickly swinging her arm, wind chakra, empowering it, she'd release a intense tornado, that'd take the tagged kunai a swept.

With the kunai exploding it'd ruthlessly explode, the hot fiery flames licking at Hotrubi's face as a heat wave over passed her. Seems like they were getting serious she thought as she was sliding back, her forearms, taking the minimal of the explosion, burn marks upon her forearms and the cuffs of her favorite jacket. 'Didn't think we'd be playing with toys...oh well.' Smudge marks across her freckled face she witnessed a thunderous encampment of flames where the pompous kid was at.

"Tsk!"

She didn't know if he'd fell prey to the explosion, but if he did he'd need to be taken to the hospital. Quickly whilst the explosion happened Hotarubi decided to use the guise of the boys attack to her gain, allowing her hands to meet briefly she'd be ready for anything. She was still very much privy to other man in the air a few meters away, but one could never be too sure.

kk. So I was asked to give a ruling on a chronological dispute on Asato's Kunai and Taiga's ability to respond to it as swiftly as she did. What Taiga did was fine and I'll explain why she had enough time to do what was done.

First, upon using the vacuum sphere technique, she didn't turn her back to Asato. She used retracting shunpo immediately after using her technique, which is basically using it backwards and then the shunpo that allows her to curve into the position she put herself into in order to use kamaitachi (which was done by a simple swing).

Meanwhile, Asato dodged by leaping five meters away from the vacuum sphere. That's not a short hop, and even though it was done quickly it still takes time. The fact that Asato didn't reach into his pouch until after dodging is what makes what Taiga did more than reasonable. The dodge, followed by reaching for the kunai and then throwing it takes just as much time, if not more than the actions it took to execute two shunpo and a kamaitachi, despite being jutsu.

So yeah, she would have enough time to respond to the kunai the way she did since it traveled ten meters upon being thrown. The last dispute is on Sharkk throwing the kunai. Sharkk, you accepted a direct hit from Taiga's Kamaitachi, and while the damage isn't fatal or anything like that, you forgot to deal with one aspect of the technique:

Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling wind chakra at either their weapon or limb, the user swings it around and brings forth a most intense tornado, coming out from the weapon/arm. Once it strikes the user, the tornado tips upward and takes the user up, keeping them imprisoned by the strong currents, and delivering multiple waves of cutting/slicing damage onto their bodies, as well as dropping them hard onto the ground afterward.

[/b][/quote]

While it may have been possible to manage throwing a number of projectiles, you completely ignored the final downward force of Kamaitachi--so you take the full brunt of that.

Lastly, I have a comment for Taiga for future reference.

but behind that guise all could hear if they focused, was a quiet pop!

This is not enough to indicate that handseals are being prepared, but since nobody contested that then it doesn't really matter. Just something to keep in mind for the future[/spoiler]

[spade]

As the kunai exploded, Asato's digits danced about, as chakra rushed throughout his body. The kunai was deflected, but he didn't fret it did some damage. His next target was the free falling ninja, since both of the ninja were near each other, his oculars would have both of them in his vision. Just as Haruki hit the floor, his technique began, water rose from the ground without warning nearly instantaneously after the boy hit the ground, as if it responded to him landing on the ground.

The water surrounded the target in a bubble-like state, slowly beginning to drown him. Now, Asato didn't worry too much about the ability to dodge this attack, as it was highly unlikely the ninja would land on his feet. If he did, he wouldn't expect the water from rising any who, and by then, it might have been to late. Either way, sky-blue oculars locked onto both silhouettes, he would begin to construct another string of zodiac signs, and four clones made out of water, appeared instantly on both sides of him, two on the right, two on the left. Each ready to perform their own texts just by a simple thought from Asato's mind.

Suitenhoufutsu (Sky and Water Convergence)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Only one person can be trapped at a time. However, every time this jutsu is learned again, the user gains the ability to imprison one extra person with an additional prison. Water comes forth from the ground right below the user and moves fast, without warning. If target is running across a surface of water, the prison moves twice as fast. Same effects as Water Prison apply.
Description: Suitenhoufutsu is a suiton ninjutsu technique which causes water to rise from the ground and surround the target, like Water Prison, yet without requiring the user to keep it steady by keeping hand contact. After the user does a string of hand seals, they summon the water, and can then use this water to drown his target, keep them imprisoned, or even torture.
Domain: Suiton. Must know Water Prison Technique.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone Technique)retrained x5 = x1 left
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Mid
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.
