The Hour Is Dark [quest]

[enzan]

A smirk arose upon my face when I heard the man known as Liger speak towards me. His cockiness to catching me off guard was astounding to say the least. If there was a straight up fight I would have killed him off without any problems. This wasn't cockiness at all but merely and observation, however my current circumstances were horrid. I cocked my head back trying to figure out the stiffness that I was pushed into by the paralysis.

"I believe you are stretching the truth to your liking. I was taken by surprise and made a regrettable mistake within my calculations. If we were to fight each other in a straight forward battle I would be the victor. . . yet I doubt you hold enough honor to do so."

[/right]
My vile blood red optics bore into the back of my captors skull. I messed up within my calculations by not using a simpler technique to evade his grasp earlier. I began to analyze the situation before me, and realized the ropes that bound me weren't actually within my vision. The knot was behind me and I couldn't tell whether it was rope,wire, or some metallic handcuffs.

I began to attempt to move my hands testing whether I was still under heavy paralysis or not but it would seem my body was okay. Turning my hands toward fidgeting and playing with whatever was restricting me. I was gonna try for and escape since the bluff I had told earlier had a small possibility of actually happening. Han had told me if I failed there would be no reason for ever trying to ever become and Oinin again. And I needed this position more then anything else within my life, and i would kill them and Han for the position. I guess time is the only thing which will tell if I'll be able to formulate a plan of escape.

With everything within the edge of the field being picked up and battered about like a rag doll Liger waited to see the boy's frail body smack against the stone wall behind him.

I knew my words would hit a nerve ending or two. He was a hot headed hooligan who just so happened to have a blood limit or such. I knew that battling him would be useless unless I found a way out of this corner. I untied the rope easily using the escape skill that all academy ninja knew. I would have risen from my chair if I had expected him to not over react.

I watched almost with a little bit of horror as his frame had become a tornado of chakra. The tornado expanded all the way into the wall pinning me into my chair. The wall of chakra pushed even further destroying the chair and completely pinning me in the corner. My body felt intensive pain as the chakra pressed into my body completely giving the sensation of being erased almost. Fear welled up inside as I couldn't move or do anything other then be pinned to the wall.

I had enough strength and power to reach inside my hood robe and grab my fist knives. I held on to them for dear life as I was still slammed into the wall. This was all I could do hopefully whenever the spin would stop I could counterattack. Yet the pain I was having to endure would no doubt leave me in a pained and sluggish state. The deciding factor will be my reaction time to his next assault no doubt.

But, as the boy began to reach for his tools of war Liger would already be on his next plan of attack. During his final rotation he'd be facing the boy and without pause he'd be on him like white on rice, this time with the intent to cripple the boy before killing him. Launching forward with such speed and grace he'd reach into the very depths of his hate and rage as he began to launch incredibly devastating, and punishing blows aimed all over his weak form. "YOU SHALL DIE!"[/color] He had to make this quick, kill the boy before Croc interrupted again. White eyes burning with such hate, who knew an individual could hate another so much with only knowing them for less than a day?! He just had to be careful not to lose himself. But, where one failed they would always learn from it, such as next time removing a target's weapons. To which only brought more anger into Liger, sure it was his fault, but he would blame it on the boy. Nonetheless he felt the strain on his stamina reserves by using his current technique, yet it would not show as his skin burned hot with hate.

I hated this hyuuga with everything I had inside as I was pinned against the wall. When the rotation stopped my right hand punched forward in a linear pattern. I no longer cared for my safety or anything just of the death of my opponent. When I pushed my hand forward a surprise had taken over my snakes had launched forward from out of my sleeve at amazing speeds ( 6 mps ) and extended all the way over to him in a wide cone fashion. The ensured that he would run directly into my assault.

My extreme fatigue from his earlier attack was felt in my assault except I knew if I didn't stop him I'd die. The snakes would attempt to wrap around his entire body and constrict him from his head to toe. I didn't push any venom into my strike because of how much chakra would be wasted. this was my last resort and all I had if this failed my life would be forfeit and my mission failed.

When used the clan member can stretch and twist their body at any angle, allowing them to surprise their opponents, spy on situations normally out of reach, and react much like a snake would.

When my snakes lashed out in a cone like fashion I was sure of a hit. Yet luck would have it he used that technique that he used earlier in the woods. It completely destroyed all the snakes that where sent towards him. Except the time it took for him to do it my feet were already on the ground. When my feet were on the ground I began to dash to my left out of the corner.

This allowed me to raise my left hand during the destruction of my right hands snakes to attack in a similar fashion allowing even larger snakes to form from my left hand. I pointed my left hand as I moved trying to catch him off guard when he needed to blast the second wave. This would leave my ejected snakes at a sort of angle allowing the snakes to spread out in a cone but also extend to wrap around his figure.

I had no doubt he would destroy both sets of snakes but I still had my raiton ninjutsu to fall back on. The large almost small small anaconda like snakes forced there way through five of them at the same rate of ( 6 mps ). After that I would have to continue some seals to activate one of my favorite raiton ninjutsu's.

His temple throbbed with irritation as an obvious battle broke out just down the hall. Rising from his bed he'd begin to roll his arms about as he made the short trip to where Liger was keeping the prisoner company. It had been a test for Liger really, to see if he could be calm, cool, collected, as well as how truly trustful he was. And he had failed as his obvious screams of rage echoed about. Or perhaps it was just Croc waiting for Liger to fall to his rage so that he could just kill him and be done with it for not even Liger's brother Hawk was as mindless as Liger was when he went into rage modes. Nonetheless Croc prepared himself¹ to kill both Liger and the boy as they continued to fight. At the end of the fifteen meter long room he'd be hidden from plain sight as the boy launched five larger snakes from his sleeves after dodging one of Liger's Hyuuga Clan techniques.

Rolling his neck he'd finish his hand seals and charging up the neccessary heat. But, when he heard Liger speak out "Why?!"[/color][/i] Croc would step to his left and into plain sight, expelling heat from his hands and arms that would make the hottest desert look like a snow cone factory. Croc was aiming to turn both the boy and Liger into major burn victims before he killed them truly. "I warned you."[/color]

The wave of heat sweeps over the area the user had pointed their arms towards, lighting all flammable objects (like paper) and reddening the skin of all those caught in its path with burns.

The situation couldn't have gotten any worse at the moment. And angry pissed off Oinin Hyuuga was attacking me and trying to kill me. I was on a mission that almost no one knew I was on. And if I died it wouldn't have really mattered at all. No, Kami had to be a funny little bastard today and decided lets put some random flaming guy in the mix. The blast wave was amazing completely and utterly destroying my B rank Hooded robe.

The hyuga before me was taking the full brunt of the attack apparently. I had automatically pushed a D rank of healing into my body as the burn saturated all around my body. My eyes were harsh and watery and my breathing was horrible. This was a bad position for me since some of my chakra was spent and the destruction of the one piece of armor I had was devastating. I needed to get out of here or risk being killed by insane power like that once more. . . the entire room seemed to be set on fire from the flash flames.

I could feel as if a massive sun burn was on my body as I was now rolling towards the wall. The blast had not only destroyed my armor but the shockwave pushed me backwards into the wall. First a wall of chakra nor a wall of flames. . . this test was starting to seem more and more worthless as it went on. As soon as my hands could even more I began to seal, the burn marks on my hands made the motions extremely painful. I was prepping my favorite raiton jutsu and would use it as soon as I could.

Shousen no Jutsu (Mystical Hand Technique)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Medical Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: Yes.
Chakra: Low - Very High
Special: Heals and counters damage equal to highest rank known.
Description: Shousen Jutsu is one of the most fundamental yet vital Medical Ninjutsu techniques utilized by medical ninja. This technique allows the ninja to heal wounds by focusing their own chakra to their hands. If the ninja is highly skilled, they are able to heal more critical injuries. Highly skilled medical-nin can use their techniques to perform surgeries that otherwise would not be possible.
Domain: Medics

In'yu Shōmetsu (Yin Healing Wound Destruction)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Medical Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Handseals: No.
Chakra: Low - Massive
Special: By anticipating damage, the user is capable of filling an area with healing chakra before taking a hit. Therefore, when the strike does occur, healing is already occurring before damage is taken. This allows for almost instant-healing of wounds. The larger and more complex the wound is, however, the more chakra is needed to heal it. User employs highest 'Shosen' rank in order to heal.
Description: Filling an area with Shosen-style chakra before taking damage, the user is capable of anticipating an assault and thus begin the healing process for a wound before actually receiving it. When the wound finally does occur, the advanced healing process rapidly regenerates the flesh of the wounded area, healing it before the eyes of the user and the opponent.
Domain: Medical. Shosen of the same rank.

Hawk was dead by now and Han was on his way no doubt with Jackel still on guard duty. While he had hoped Liger could have been used in the battle against his father, he'd have to make due with Jackel...Or perhaps he could manipulate this boy to kill Han....Hmmmm.

"OR...you could help kill my father since we're going to be two men down. Up to you though...boyo. Leave now and live, help kill my father and live, or you can die right here, right now."[/color] If the boy refused then Croc was ready to end his pathetic existence.

I stood up unleashing the jutsu that I had already melded my chakra to create. Two clones popped into existence. Both clones began to seal in front of me which would easily help me since they both moved to the right and left. My burned and bruised body tried it's best to stand up and I coughed before speaking. "I don't give a fuck about Han or you and your goals. I just wanna become a Hunter Ninja. . . and for me to do that. . . I need the perfect cover story for that." It wasn't a yes or a no to his answer but merely me trying to be a smart ass.

I stood as best as I could sealing again with my clone. The clones of course finished before me would discharge some lightning upon there hands before waving them in front of themselves in a extremely fast movement. It took them no more then a second to fire off a total of four lightning charged arrows at the flame starter named croc. There was no doubt his attack could be faster then mine but I didn't care this needed to end.

Raiton: Chakra Reduction 1
Karai Shin (Lightning Wrath's Reach)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Mid ---> Low
Special: Allows the user the ability to create, control and move Raiton (Thunder) chakra of their own for multiple purposes, as well as control that produced by nature. Highest rank known determines the strength of the thunder, the distance at which one can control it, and finally, the speed at which the user can displace it.

C: 20 ms / 6 mps
B: 30 ms / 9 mps
A: 40 ms / 12 mps
S: 50 ms / 15 mps


Description: Though powerful, Raiton can become uncontrollable even in the hands of the experienced, forcing its users to focus first on controlling their power in small areas, and then, over time, expanding. As one's experience with thunder and its control grows, so does the range at which they can become deadly with it.
Domain: Raiton.

Special: Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Being elementally based, this clone can use any c-ranked or lower raiton techniques the user knows. Can be relearned up to 4 times for a maximum of 5 clones created.
Description: With this technique, the Raiton user is able to call upon aid from a perfect copy of themselves. Comprised purely of lightning, this clone retains the user movement speed and strength. While easily capable of being use for offensive means, the raiton bunshin also makes for an equally solid defense due to its ability to harness raiton-based techniques.

Eshaku Raikou (Lightning Bow)100
Rank: C,C
Type: Offensive / Raiton Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid ---> Low
Special: Range and speed of arrows is determined by the user's highest 'Karai Shin' range. Up to one arrow can be made and shot each time, plus one more each time retrained. However, for every 4 arrows the user is able to fire off, their chakra consumption will automatically go up by one.
Description: After performing the needed handseals, the user will wave both arms through the air, leaving raiton chakra behind in the shape of bow and arrow. The lightning arrow can then be shot at an opponent and stun them from afar. By taking extra time to focus their energy, the arrow can be re-shaped for distance, rather than power.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.

I had it my trump card when I realized my pouches were intact. The heat wave was substantial but the sacrifice of some of my hooded robe and Liger's dumbass, I had saved my pouches and equipment. I struggled to stand but knew my determination was all I needed to win this and I would do just that. When this crocodile person had sealed and created his bunshin I had already reacted by reaching into my bag producing kunai with and explosive notes wrapped around there handles. I knew he used Katon type ninjutsu so I needed to do this right and do it now.

My clones fired off there own little reactive lightning bolts. This would be directly before I launched my kunai and after the lightning arrows had missed there mark. The blasts were originally done to prevent the clones from charging forward but what really happened was unexpected and beautiful. They had finished there sealing right at the blots were on there way, and when ash spewed from there mouths it would take but seconds for the sparks of raiton to set the ash cloud up. This would be perfect for me since now I could go on the offensive.

I threw the kunai as hard and as fast as I could while my bunshin fired off there reactive bolts. I sent some of my chakra in and attempt to if the first bolts didn't like the cloud the explosion from the notes would. If the bolts had initially set off the cloud it would have a backlash effect destroying everything within the bunshin and crocs range. Except if it didn't my explosive note kunai's would be the set off allowing the same type of blow back.

"Fuck. . . I will kill you damn it!!!!!"

I’ve been called in to BM the scenario of the explosion- versus the reaction/speed times for everything that would have occurred between the time frame of the detonation. When it comes to these sorts of decisions I am unbiased and professional, so if you feel that if my decision may have been wrong just simply PM me to talk over it.

The first thing I am going to point out are the positions that you both are at. I read the posts over thoroughly to get an understanding of where you both are standing. Yoshi would be directly facing Croc, who is at the entrance. Being that the room is fifteen meters from the entrance that would put him fifteen meters away from Croc with his back facing a wall. You both prepped your clones at the exact same time so the appearance of them would happen simultaneously however, your initial attacks would have been in another time frame all together. The lightning arrows would not have become air borne until a second after the explosion occurred. In that second before the explosion the fire clones would have begun to spray a mist around the room at a total of ten meters however, it probably wouldn’t even get that far:

[/u][/b] Range and speed of delivery for mist spray depends on the user's 'Enkou Shinka' rank. It doesn’t state the highest, so the most that Yoshi would feel from this attack would be the heat coming off from the technique.

[2] Highest rank known determines bonus katon damage.[/ul]

An explosion would undoubtedly occur because of the remaining fire dwindling about from the last explosion coming off of the heat wave, however, there are now a key factors one must keep in mind before using the mist waltz technique:

[/u][/b] The user must be careful however, as any Fuuton jutsu of equal or greater rank could easily blow back the mist and turn the effects on the user. - Mist Waltz [/ul]

Now- Onto the complexities of this battle. A wind technique was prepped at the time the mist would have begun to spray around the entirety of the room. . however, it isn’t entirely up to the user to control when and where this explosion will occur because the mist just needs to interact with a single flame. Since you both never explained how this would have happened, I would have expected the flames to have come somewhere in place of where the first heat wave was exposed (around only 2 - 3 meters from Liger’s last position). Now- considering that the explosion would have exploded in the time that the great breakthrough had begun to travel, the explosion would travel in a much different way. Instead of it spreading ahead as intended, the flames would have taken and absorbed that gust of wind in order to grow and expand.

You both know how explosions work right? Incase you don’t- The more oxygen/air that is introduced to flames, the bigger they grow and in this case, the bigger the explosion would get. Explosions don’t travel in linear fashions, they travel in a radius all around the point of detonation. Being that the flames would have taken on the properties of the wind technique (since it was the higher ranked technique) – the range of the technique would be amplified to fit the range of the daitoppa, which in this case is 20 meters out from the center of the explosion in every direction (N, E, S, W). Being that this explosion would have occurred so early into the technique, unknown to the person who used it, both of you would be hit by this attack however, it is currently up to the GM to decide the fate of the one doing the quest, so I will leave this up to you both. There is also the fact that no one clearly stated there being any flames in this room to begin with, even after that heat wave- and so in knowing this result Sharkk, the storyteller, now has a choice.

---

Choice [1] – Continue on allowing the mist to cover the ten meter range, and allow the mist to spread to the back of the room- but it will not detonate because no flames are evident. This will leave all cloens alive and both users stable enough to continue an assault.

Choice [2] – Allow the explosion to occur. All clones, on either side of the playing field, will have been defeated being that the great breakthrough technique was amplified to two C ranked techniques, not just one, and that would have easily overpowered all of the clones within the room. Both of the users will have been knocked unconscious, allowing the storyteller to continue the quest from there.[/spoiler]
