Stained Glass, Broken Mirrors.

[Guyviroth]

Dark, dank, humid and draped in the veils of heavy mist; Mizu definitely lived up to its namesake. The country was large, expansive and obscured by a line of mountains to the far side of it. In a way it looked somewhat like the hidden leaf although with blocked out light and dense fog eclipsing the visage. A lot of rock, trees, foliage and stone structures painted the portrait of the land that it was unrecognizable to Helios, although that wasn't to say he didn't enjoy the scenery.

Standing at the gates he stares up at the large stone doors and the large Kiriga kanji emblazoned across the front of them. Taking a few steps forwards he was cautious to not attract too much attention; he was a foreign shinobi to these people and, stupidly, didn't bother to find out the relationship status between Leaf and Mist politics. Helios thought of untying his headband and concealing it although he didn't know if that would do much more good than harm. If anything he could perhaps strengthen the relationship between the two villages should he be on his best behaviour.

Shouldn't be too hard, right?

[KEITH]

I gracefully made my way through the mist that had covered the lands of Mizu no Kuni, travelling along a path that was very familiar to me, so I had no real trouble with my advancements. I would sport a white robe and equipment upon my body, though the robe would conceal it all, and my fast would be hidden behind my famous white fox mask. Moving at my impressive speed, the wind would carry my hair, and my vision would slowly become clearer as I would reach outside of the mist that had hidden Kirigakure away from the world. Those who didn't know how to navigate through the mist could get lost forever within it, or meet a random Kirigakure shinobi on guard duty, and that wouldn't be pretty.

I would come across a stream that would flow through Mizu no Kuni, and as I would approach it, I would look into it at my reflection as I stepped upon the water. The stream was wide, and of course, long, to my sides, it was about ten meters on each side, before the earth would cut it off. The land around would be covered by dirt and trees. Who am I really? I would think to myself, and wonder why I decided to come here.

It seemed as though is the boy was to gain even a slimmer of a chance at access throughout the compound he would have to risk the chance of exposing himself to what could possibly be his enemies. Walking forwards he approached the stone gates that were flanked on either side by a pair of guards. At first Helios couldn't help but be nervous if not out-right scared of the two Jounin. Despite the fact he had to deal with some rogue Chuunin and Jounin in the Hidden Leaf he understood they were a peaceful people, and he didn't know if the shinobi hear lived up to their brutal reputation. He wasn't about to assume the contrary.

He tried to relax but his shoulders and arms were fairly tense and he didn't know if his force of habit of keeping his hand upon the sheath of his sword was going to attract the wrong kind of attention and, by extension, the wrong response, but he had to remain cautious considering he was now dealing with shinobi he had no knowledge of; he'd have to be foolish not to keep up vigilance. Regardless he approach both shinobi, standing in line with the gates bu several meters away from the guards.

"Helios of the Hidden Leaf," the boy exclaimed in an audible yet respectful tone. He'd never had to use pleasantries before so he was clueless about how to address entry or any other form of etiquette in terms of allowing passage, or at least visiting rights, to other villages. "I request for peaceful entrance into your village under visitation." All he could do now was to await their response.

[KEITH]

I would tilt my head upward, looking up into the sky, my eye sight moving away from the water. I wasn't able to receive an answer for my question, so I figured that maybe it wasn't time for me to receive the answer. Or perhaps, it was just something I would have to figure out on my own, besides, who would I be asking to help me find the answer? There is no God.

With that, in a burst of speed, I would flicker away from sight, leaving ripples within the water of the slow moving stream that I had once stood upon. I would then reappear at the gates of Kirigakure, five meters behind some person who I didn't know, especially looking at them from behind. He would then proceed to ask for entrance of Kirigakure, after stating that he was a Konohagakure shinobi. Was this guy out of his mind?

Why would we ever do such a silly thing like that? Me personally, I didn't like the fact that some outsider had apparently, randomly came to the village asking for access. I didn't like outsiders, despite me formerly being one. I moved silently toward the guy who would have his attention upon the guards, and I placed my left palm against the center of his back, or over an object at the center of his back if he had one, then I would speak.

[You must be out of your fucking mind. Why would we ever want to deal with the liking of Konohagakure shinobi? We do not wish to ally with a weak country, so, would you please, get the fuck out of our land.]

My typically whimsical personality was out of the window, I did not fuck with outsiders.

[Guyviroth]

It wasn't exactly the most heart-warming sunshine and skittles reply but the young boy wasn't exactly expecting anything short of "get the fuck out" considering it was a Kiriga shinobi, or at least he gave the assumption it was a Kiriga shinobi considering his tone of voice and the fact he addressed the situation with personal sentiments. He would also assumed he was a skilled ninja; Helios didn't notice any shinobi as he proceeded forwards and yet this person was able to approach him, from behind, with the utmost of silence and stealth. However the boy didn't find that offensive but as the shinobi placed a hand on his back, Helios felt agitated. He didn't like being touched from behind. It made him feel uncomfortable, but prone to lashing out violently. He had to control that urge, though.

"I'm sorry," Helios apologized suddenly again, displaying his respectful demeanour, despite his tone being somewhat sour. Slowly he stepped forwards again away from the Shinobi's touch but he couldn't help but feel as though he had placed something on his robe; a seal or explosive tag, perhaps. As he shifted forwards he also shifted the grip of his hand from the sheath to the handle of his sword in a reverse grip, hoping the long sleeve would conceal this act from the shinobi behind and the guards in front. "But I'm not asking you. I'm asking them." Helios didn't enjoy the notion of being disrespected or much less his village. True he was weak when compared to others but he felt he was... competent. His eyes shifted from the guards to the shinobi behind him although he still kept vigilance of the men in front of him. He didn't want things to get to critical but he'd best prepare for the worst case scenario.

[KEITH]

While I had kept him within hand distance, and my hand upon his person, I would wait to see what he had to say, before I would do anything. As I would wait, my eyes would shift toward the guards, seeing if they would react at all toward what he was saying. They knew who I was, and what my position was within the village, though this outsider wouldn't. I didn't want to just outright attack him; I tried to show some sympathy for him, since I was too just some random shinobi from Konohagakure.

Once he had said he was sorry, I would figure that he was going to bow down easily, and leave this place. I would have let him, I had nothing against this man, and I just didn't want him in a place that he shouldn't be. That's how bad things happen, which could possibly stir up things between Konoha and Kiri, and they already wasn't the best of friends now, due to their past. The foreign shinobi would then proceed to step forward, moving out of my grasp, and continuing to speak, but with a disrespect message he would let pass through his lips.

It was something that I wouldn't stand for, and as he would have moved forward, he would continue to stare toward the guards, which was his mistake. He should have never allowed me to get behind him, nor not give me his full attention. But, he couldn't turn his back toward the guards neither. Chakra would erupt within the inside of my body, twirling up, constantly building up within me, as I, hidden within my mask, stood behind the man, with his body toward the guards still.

He didn't adjust his body at all to see me clearly, he had simply shifted his eyes in my direction, he was a fool.

[You'll regret that...]

Helios was starting to get much more anxious around the three of them. If it was just the pair of guards or just the one person behind him he would have been a bit calmer and more reserved, but he couldn't risk knowing full well that if he left himself open he would be the victim of a vicious flanking manoeuvre. He'd dare not spare the entirety of his attention on one person alone but trying to keep track of all three shinobi was making him edgy. Whenever he got edgy he became overzealous in caution. Overzealousness in caution would prompt him to strike first despite his better judgment.

The man had shown the shinobi a great deal of disrespect towards him and to that of his village so it was only expected for Helios to return the favour, although he kept his string of words low profile and subtle. He could begin to understand that things were definitely about to turn sour. His chakra began to rise steadily and hoped that none of them would notice. His hand tightened around the hilt of his katana but he dared not unsheathe any length of it. Not just yet anyway, he didn't want to be the one accused of making the first strike.

"I only request visitation rights," Helios started again, turning his head slightly to show the man behind him that he was addressing him. He didn't look at him still but instead he focused his hearing on the sound of any weapons that may be drawn in his offense. The two guards he did not seem to keep as much attention to although he was still aware of them. "I don't believe I see a problem with such a request. Especially one from a child, right?" The boy would try to use some sort of reasonable negotiation with the man. After all Helios was just a young shinobi kid; why would he be denied? It wasn't as though he would pose a threat to a village who has a full military squad.

[KEITH]

The chakra that had rapidly built up in my body had rushed out of my tenketsu. I was like a teapot, and when the stream would release, you would know I was hot and ready, the color of my skin had changed to a dark shade of red, though, all of my equipment and mask would hide away this feature. A massive amount of chakra would have been slowing inside me, sending chakra through a meter of the earth around me, causing pebbles to rise up^{3rd gate}, if one could sense my chakra, they would have some kind of idea what had been going on with me. It would seem as this boy had continued to talk, with only his back facing me, not giving me his full attention, despite me being the one who had been talking to him.

In a burst of speed, I would appear beneath the boy, in front of him, deliver a fast kick toward his chin, faster than he could even think, to send him airborne^#1 (however high you believe Rock Lee sent Gaara into the air for this). The hit to the chin would had done severe head damage if connected, probably stunning him a bit, especially from the shock of the sudden hit, with me following up with more attacks, though, the first one would come from behind him, in his blind spot. Knocking him back and forth through the air, catching him with another hit, using my impressive speed^#2. Each attack would be a powerful blow, from hitting him into his blind spot, knocking him only five meters away, then hitting him in his blind spot again, all throughout the consecutive hits.

Damaging his body if he was unable to move out of the five meter range of the circle he had trapped him in with his hits. At the apex of the attack, I would send my fist crashing into the chest of the boy, which would sending him speeding toward the earth^#3. But, before he would reach it, I would speed up toward him, building up much momentum, and delivered a crushing palm strike to his chest^#4, it wouldn't had been enough to kill the boy, but enough to knock him unconscious if it was all successful.

I would land five meters away from him, with my gates deactivating.

^[1]Seimon (Gate of Life)
Rank: B.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Chakra: High to activate, x2 Mid to sustain.
Handseals: -
Special: Due to the intense flow of chakra released by opening this gate, the user is capable of immediately disrupting any and all genjutsu of c-rank and lower. This gate grants the user increased feats of strength and speed, roughly x4 that of your average shinobi. Upon deactivating this gate, the user will suffer a "fatigue" duration equivalent to the total time the gate's effects were active. During this fatigued period, the player will only be able to use taijutsu-based techniques of a-rank and below.
Description: Located within the spinal cord, the third gate, the Gate of Life, begins to prepare the body for extreme movement and muscle destruction. Enemies without refined dojutsu (any non-Uchiha or Hyuuga) have a very difficult time keeping up with the user's movements, as this gate gives off the appearance of simply vanishing and reappearing on a whim. However, the user's body is left intact for the most part, as this new level brings the user mostly benefits. A notable feature of this gate is that the user's skin suddenly begins to turn red.
Domain: Hachimon - Gate 2.

^[2]Ura Renge (Reverse Lotus)
Rank: A
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: High x2
Special: Attack exists in four stages, with each stage's success increase the likelyhood of the next. Battle Mod/Judge to determine success of combination based on RP between user and victim. Amount of times the user can "pummel" an opponent in the air equals to 5 times, plus 1 more each time retrained.
Description: To utilize the Ura Renge, the user will open the first Three Celestial Gates. Then, like Omote Renge, the user quickly moves beneath the target and [1] kicks them upwards. While in the air the user will then [??] pummel his opponent throughout the air with high speed Taijutsu attacks to weaken them. Then at the apex of this attack the user will [1] strike their opponent in the chest towards the ground. To deliver full power, the user then moves in close to their opponent and delivers a hard downward [1] palm strike to their chest causing them to crash into the ground with massive damage.
Domain: Goken. Hachimontonkou - 3rd Gate.

It definitely wasn't what Helios was expecting. Or rather he was expecting an attack but nothing of this calibre. He hadn't even the time to turn his head back round to the guards standing at the gate. A blast in his chin knocked the wind out of him and, for a brief moment, almost knocked him out. Being sent flying upwards the blood in his head rushed down to his body from shear G force, making him light headed. His eyes blurred and dazzled a bit before rolling back into his head. He was beginning to lose consciousness.

However, he felt a sharp blow to his back, knocking him meters into one direction. The jolt to his body caused his body to stop elevating, causing his blood to rush back through his body and, eventually, his head again. His vision bolted open as he was only beginning to feel the pain in his body. His vision was still a bit blurred; he wasn't ready for either attack but before he could even so much as grasp the situation another blow, and a third. His whole body felt like crap but he had to do something. Anything. Or nothing.

The blows to his body wouldn't allow him to relax. His muscles tensed and his blood boiled but with the more energy he used in his body the more it sent that pain rushing through his neurons. Eventually it came to a point where he was just descending back first towards the ground. He could barely see anything; the sky was still a dull grey, and the trees still lay motionless upon soil. But, he saw something; a human visage descended upon him, quickly.

Is this how I die? In a dull-looking country with no one to attend my corpse?

No, idiot. You can't die here. I won't allow it.

I... won't die. Not here! Not Now!

Suddenly the burst of chakra erupted from him, activating the fourth gate. His body began to numb the pain he sustained, his skin turned a shot of dark crimson red while a powerful aura of chakra enveloped him. His reaction time seemed to increase but he also felt his body lighten. He had only one option to take and it was now. Quickly he grasped at the hilt of his katana and, as his opponent drew close, he swiped across with his sword with a blinding Double Cut. It was all he could do for the moment before his body hit the ground.

[4] Shoumon (Gate of Wound)
Rank: A.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -
Chakra: High to activate, x2 Mid to sustain.
Handseals: -
Special: Due to the intense flow of chakra released by opening this gate, the user is capable of immediately disrupting any and all genjutsu of b-rank and lower. This gate grants the user increased feats of strength and speed, roughly x5 that of your average shinobi. Upon deactivating this gate, the user will suffer a "fatigue" duration equivalent to the total time the gate's effects were active. During this fatigued period, the player will only be able to use taijutsu-based techniques of b-rank and below.
Description: Located within the spinal cord, the fourth gate, the Gate of Wound, further's the body's destructive potential, evident by a more intense shade of red taking the user over, as well as a powerful aura that flows all around them. With this gate in effect, enemies without a refined dojutsu (any non-Uchiha or Hyuuga) have an extremely difficult time comprehending the user's movements; they're barely able to make out a blur. Furthermore, even those possessing the fabled Sharingan and Byakugan now have a high difficulty keeping track of actions executed at such a high speed. At this point, the user's muscles slowly begin to tear from use.
Domain: Hachimon - Gate 3.

Nibaigiri (Double Cut)
Rank: C (B+C)
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Chakra: Mid (Low)
Special: Learning 'B' rank "Art of Sword Drawing" increases damage by one rank. Damage is calculated per strike.
Description: Commencing from any position, the practitioner proceeds to draw, cutting a fluid swath before using the same momentum to deliver a final slash, which leads to them sheathing once again. The movement is flashy and hard to trace, leaving unguarded opponent's in trouble.
Domain: Kenjutsu. Battōjutsu 'C'.

Chakra Used: 1 High + 1 Low (2 High, 15 Low remaining)

[1] You said that the blow was unexpected, and he had no idea that I would hit you with such force. Prepping something as draining as the fourth gate is ridiculous for an attack you state you don't even know is coming.

[2] "His chakra began to rise steadily and hoped that none of them would notice." We can't see chakra, so if this is your preparation for gates or whatever, you didn't state in your previous post that you actually prepped a jutsu, like somewhere underneath your post. I don't mind if you get to pull off gates or not, but, if that is the point where you gathered your chakra for gates, you waited a long while to execute it. I am not sure if you have to maintain a focus or not, if you do, then that would definitely be broken by my pummeling of A + B damage of my multiple strikes. Also, with you being a kid, and smaller in size and weight than me, the first kick, despite you being a Tai prime as well, would probably have knocked you out cold.

I am just going to assume that you wouldn't have been able to do what you did, and if you disagree with that, you can call a BM.

When it was all said and done, and I had knocked the boy unconscious, I would motion for one of the guards to pick him up and carry him into the village gates for me. I would be bringing the damaged and unconscious boy to the Mizukage, to see what he had wanted to do with him. I didn't want to bring an end to his young life, but if the Mizukage wanted to put him to death, then so be it. He would enter the village gates with the guard.

[Exit.]

[Guyviroth]

Helios got knocked the fuck out. He's going to be getting his ass dragged through the village by both legs, possibly.

[EXIT]

[Messatsu!]
