"The gates are important, darlings! My earlier orders of avoiding collateral damage do not apply, i want the entrance demolished! Nobody is to pass, you understand?!"

Coco's shouted orders can be heard as the birds fly over the gates of Sunagakure, low enough for you both to leap down. Looming in front of you, they're quite the imposing sight. It's up to you now!

[sachi]

Finally, the moment was upon us. Under the veil of darkness the Iwa forces had seemingly crept into Suna without detection, and best of all? I was ordered to seize the exact location I had planned on taking out anyways; the gates themselves. What better way to send a message than to kick in the front door in a show of force? I wasn't afraid of war, in fact I welcomed it - I wouldn't be having fun if I wasn't causing chaos on the front lines! I moved to the front of the bird, hands restlessly at my sides, eyes staring through the mask with a ridiculous amount of excitement as we would descend,

"HERE WE GO!"

I would step off the bird, my body tumbling forward into a quick flip, my cloak fluttering about frantically as I approached the ground - finally, it was time! I landed with a quiet thud on one knee, right hand immediately moving up and removing the mask from my face, carelessly tossing it off to my side as I rose to my feet,

"SUNA NINJA! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

I was about 15 meters from the gates themselves, red eyes scanning in all directions for any signs of my enemy, a small pill tossed into my mouth as I did so. The challenge was made, and if any Suna ninja dared come out to fight, now was the time to do so, because in about 10 seconds I was going to knock that gate right over and bring the battle to them.

The entire flight from Iwagakure to Kaze no Kuni left Gungnir with a knot in his stomach. This was caused surely by his unknown disliking of flying and the distance they were travel ling surely didn't aide in the healing of his "pain". Groaning before they had even left Tsuchi no Kuni, Gungnir only now found himself dropping down into a sitting position atop the clay bird he road. Figuring perhaps some of his motion sickness would fade if he stopped scanning the land below, he'd place his right hand to his chin. His eyes on the dull gray color of the clay, he'd be surprised by the already fading "sickness" that plagued him...That was until the bird dove...His right eye shot to the side and noticed they were now nearing Sunagakure...

On his feet in a split second, he'd try to hold his dinner in as his right hand gripped his churning stomach. Leaping from the bird as several other Iwagakure shinobi did, he'd hit the sand with a silent thud that sent the sand rising about him, before it fell back to the ground. During the flight they had been paired up, leaving Gungnir with an unknown ANBU...That was until the man tore his mask off and revealed himself to be none other than....No, it couldn't be...he had been gone for years now...No, it truly was Kain! Eyes bulging for a moment he'd keeps his eyes locked on the formidable ally....Things were already popping off...

[sachi]

Nothing, not a peep. Not an alarm, not a Suna shinobi, hell, not even a witness to the challenge - who did they think they were, having me wait? I had given them the chance to bring the fight to me, out of their village, but none would accept my offer! Being as impatient as I was, I was sick of waiting, and now I was going to bring the war to their doorstep, quite literally. I was going to smash right through these gates and destroy everything in my sight, I was going to leave a trail of blood and destruction so large and frightful that they would never forget who did it,

"So be it . . ."

My thumb was brought up to my mouth, and with a quick bite at the tip I would draw blood, a small dribble running down my lips and hand itself. Immediately I would begin to perform a small series of handseals, my hands gracefully coursing through each one required for the Summoning Jutsu. It would only take a second or two, and when I had completed them I would thrust my hands into the ground beneath me, a wicked grin ever present on my face, the sheer excitement of this all almost making me lose my sanity!

And then it would appear in a plume of smoke beneath me, a massive creature unlike anything they'd have witnessed before, and it was only here for one reason - to destroy anything and everything in its path.

"CRUSH EVERYTHING IN YOUR WAY! BRING DOWN THOSE GATES!"

I shouted at the top of my lungs from my position atop the serpent's head, my orders given with a voice of authority. The beast lurched back, aware of my commands and with the intent to obey them, its massive mouth opened wide, huge fangs on display for all to see as it would hiss in acknowledgement. In the blink of an eye, the colossal snake would shoot forwards, its incredible strength and size being put to use as it would quite literally smash into the gates, using its powerful body to slam into it repeatedly. Whether they were strong enough to withstand the first blow or not, it wouldn't take much for my summon to destroy the entrance, the loud crashing echoing all across the village,

"KILL THEM ALL! KILL EVERYTHING!"

I was going to kill anybody I would come across in that village, shinobi or not.

Description: The larger relatives of the Eunectes Murinus, the Gigantophis are what some might consider the “elite” of the snake order. Ridiculously larger than your common snake, these beasts represent the “unnatural sized” class of snakes (b – twenty five meters long, five meters wide; a – forty meters long, ten meters wide; s – fifty meters long, twenty meters wide). In despite of their massive size, these snakes can still move incredibly fast and deal blows with devastating force and power. The snakes cannot be summoned in groups.

And in no time Kain attacked Sunagakure herself, no ninja coming to meet his challenge. Preparing himself for the fight to come he began to wait as well...And in a poof of smoke, Gungnir found himself riding a snake with the "Missing-nin"...Surely it was unintentional, but the beast was so large it took up Gungnir as well, Kain at it's forehead, Gungnir just behind it's head. Lurching forward to make sure he was on more secure footing before the giant serpent attacked. Gungnir managed to mutter a few words to his "ally"...But, he'd keep the real conversation for a later date. "Hmmm, looks like I won't be needed right now, I'll just sit up here until the time arises..." Chuckling a bit, not really for humor, but more to lighten his own mood and lingering motion sickness. Craning his head to the side he took in the visual of the snake beginning it's assault on the gates...It was beautiful.

[marvolous.]

It didn't take much to alert Sunagakure of the intruding forces. Though it was nighttime and their attack had come unannounced, there were still many guards patrolling the gates, and all of it's blind spots. At first sight of the intruders their presence would have been called into the village's main hub, alerting any and all on-duty ANBU guards, as well as any off-duty shinobi of the impending attack.

-----

The gates have been breached. How do you want us to proceed? The voice rang throughout the communication devices of all ANBU within the village. It was too low to discern just who it belonged to, but a familiar voice soon called back. Izuna, Genma-- take the gates. Genma, you know what to do. With that the mic went dead.

As the debris from the attack rose into the air, both Izuna and Genma made their presence known ontop Suna's damaged gates. They were separated by about 15 meters, roughly the space where the snake was trying to breach the wall, and were watching and carefully analyzing the entire situation.

Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.
Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Fuubaku Houjin (Exploding Seal Method Formation) 50
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary.
Range: -

Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique) 100
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 5 meters.
Handseals: 1.
Chakra: Halves the user's chakra.
Special: When first learned, a single Shadow Clone can be produced. Each time re-learned, one additional clone can be made, for a maximum of 5. Please remember that regardless of the amount of clones made, the chakra is still divided evenly amongst all bodies. However, when a clone is defeated or chooses to disappear, whatever remaining chakra within their bodies, as well as their knowledge, returns to the user. The only exception is 'Bunshin Bakuha', which sacrifices the chakra return for a grand explosion. This technique can only be learned by Jounin ranked shinobi; no exceptions!
Description: Kage Bunshin is an advanced, forbidden Ninjutsu technique, which grants the user the ability to create a tangible clone. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. However, Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance, to the point the clone can utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, and spawns with any equipment the user has one them at the time of the summoning. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Bunshin Bakuha (Shadow Clone Explosion) 150
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: 5 meter explosion.
Handseals: 1.
Chakra: Halves the user's chakra (this chakra is lost).
Special: This technique can only detonate one clone at any given time. Likewise, it forfeits the knowledge\chakra one would naturally gain when their clone is destroyed.
Description: A follow up technique to the regular Kage Bunshin, Bunshin Bakuha is an advanced ninjutsu technique utilized by highly skilled and ranked shinobi in order for them to detonate a regular Shadow Clone at impressive levels. Once a normal Kage Bunshin is created, the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion. The entire amount of chakra left within the clone forms the energy behind the blast, and although it lacks fiery properties, the sudden blast and subsequent implosion/explosion phase is enough to blast through rock easily, leaving serious dents in steel/metal creations
Domain: Kage Bunshin.

Rasengan (Spiral Sphere) 150
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: -
Handseals: -
Chakra: High
Special: Plows through barriers and attacks 'A' ranked and below, and if struck, target suffers a knock-back factor of 5 meters. Rasengan ball is just larger than one's palm, and takes half a post to charge. During this time, the user must be standing still.
Description: Rasengan is highly advanced specialized ninjutsu technique developed over the span of many years by a legendary Hokage. The technique is unlike any other ninjutsu in that it does not require any handseals, as it relies purely on the ninja's ability to mold chakra. The ninja concentrates a contained, fast, rotating sphere of elemental chakra in the palm of their hand which, when summoned in full form, can cause much destructive impact.
Domain: Ninjutsu.

Rasen Rengan (Dual Spiral Spheres) 150
Rank: A.
Type: Offensive.
Range: -
Handseals: -
Chakra: x2 High.
Special: Damage is equivalent to 2 a-ranked attacks simultaneously, and knock-back distance is now increased to 10 meters. This ability takes a half a post to charge. During this time, the user must be standing still.
Description: Rasen Rengan is the first variation of Rasengan, though advanced enough to require the user's doubled effort. Based upon the normal Rasengan, this version allows the user to create and wield a Rasengan in the palm of each hand, as their chakra manipulation have reached such levels that such a high chakra output can be afforded. The dual nature of the attack thus allows double the damage to be inflicted on any target unfortunate enough to fall victim to the Dual Spheres.
Domain: Ninjutsu - Rasengan.

Tier 1 - Heavy Foundation: When standing on earth/dirt/rock, the user is immune to knockback/knockdown.
Tier 2 - Mineral Enrichment: Defensive Doton jutsu now block an additional rank of damage, up to 'S' rank.

Type: Supplementary.
Range: See special!
Handseals: No

B: 25 meter range.
A: 30 meter range.
S: 35 meter range.


Description: The basis behind the majority of Doton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the very earth around them. 'Earth Dominion' is just as its name implies, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Doton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over the earth around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Doton.

B: 60% speed loss
A: 80% speed loss

Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user slams his fists to the ground, sending their chakra into the earth so that it will rise up and over their target, imprisoning them in the form of a circle. Unlike Earth Dome Prison, this jutsu does not enclose over the targets. Instead, it simple creates a high wall, making escape viable only through flight; trying to climb up the wall will result in the victim's foot being impaled by sudden earthen spikes emerging from the wall.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken of equal rank.

Arijigoku (Inescapable Hell) 625

Description: A very basic earth technique, it allows the user to dive underground almost instantaneously so that they remain hidden from view in order to ambush their opponent. As long as the opponent is walking across the earth, they will be aware of their presence, and can wait patiently (without fear of asphyxiation!) until they right time, where they will emerge and latch onto the opponent’s legs. From here, they can easily suck them down, executing a replacement with them so that the opponent is buried underground up to his neck, while the user emerges unharmed above ground.

Rank: C
Type: Supplementary.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 3.
Chakra: Mid.
Special: Range of movement depends on the user’s level of 'Doton Ryouuken'. While the user cannot perform seals and thus use jutsu underground, they can wield weapons in order to surprise attack. User can remain underground for a single turn before needing to resurface; each time retrained, the user may remain underground for one extra turn. However, after every fourth retraining, their chakra consumption will go up by one,
Description: An upgrade to Shinjuu Zanshu, this underground variation grants the user movement whilst underground. Additionally, they can also emerge from below with their weapons drawn, allowing them to attack without being seen.

Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'C'.

Doton Kekkai – Dorou Doumu (Earth Barrier – Earth Dome Prison) 100
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 8.
Chakra: High.
Special: Size and range of dome depends on the user's 'Doton Ryouuken' rank. Dome defense is determined by the user's 'Doton Ryouuken' and can withstand up to one strike from the outside, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every third retraining, consumption will go up by one. Strikes to the dome made from within are stronger, meaning it takes strikes one rank less than the user's highest 'Doton Ryouuken' in order to break free.
Description: This advanced Doton ninjutsu acts as its name implies – it facilitates the user creating a prison around their victims, comprised of pure dirt. After forming the necessary handseals and striking the ground with their hands, the user is able to overturn the earth and cause it to rise up around their opponents. As long as they keep their hands on it and feed it chakra, the prison can withstand most attempts to break free from within. As a bonus, if the user knows of any chakra absorbing techniques, they may place their hands against the dome, sucking out the chakra from the people trapped inside and bring it back into one’s own body, as well as combine it with his own in order to spread throughout the dome, allowing the user to repair any damage their opponents manage to inflict on the inside.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'B'.

Wall is created from beneath the user's very feet, and requires them to be in contact with it at all times. Can be held as long as the user wishes to pay for it, as long as the user is in contact with it.
Description: An intense world shaper, the ninja will do the necessary hand seals and slam their hands on the ground. As they transfer their chakra down and begin to take control of the land, a large earthen wall will erupt from the ground, right underneath the user's feet. This wall can always vary by size, shape and width, and can be moved anywhere user wishes too, as long as they have enough chakra. This is the concept behind Doryu – use one’s power over Doton to influence the land. Useful for aiding or foiling escapes, disrupting large areas, etc.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'B'.

Yomi Numa (Swamp of the Underworld) (2) 300
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 12.
Chakra: x2 High.
Special: Range, size and depth of swamp, depends on the user’s level of Doton Ryouuken. Takes a full turn to sink and seal, but if the target cannot escape the range of the swamp in time, they soon become the victim, sealed away in an alternate swamp dimension. Can be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user summons a vast filthy, bubbling swamp that can appear directly beneath their target to sink and kill it. The benefit of this is that no earth source is needed as the user creates their own, meaning they could potentially sink targets over any source. The swamp can be perceived as being on its own dimension - once absorbed, the swamp and its victims are gone forever. Due to its size, this jutsu was meant to take out large summons, creatures and even armies of men.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'A'.

Size of clone depends on the user's level of 'Doton Ryouuken.' By default, the Titan is immune from one full ‘S’ ranked or lower attack. Every time the user re-learns this jutsu, they can absorb an additional strike. However, each time retrained, the chakra consumption of this technique will grow by one. Titan does not need to perform handseals in order to execute Doton jutsu. User must be in contact with titan at all times, and cannot used any chakra related techniques for the remainder of the clone's lifespan.
Description: One of the most visually awing Doton technique, this jutsu allows the user the ability to summon an oversized, giant earth clone from the user’s feet, rising up at rapid rates under the cover of a massive earthquake. This clone, appearing like the user even in appearance, can perform any Doton jutsu the user knows, as well as move around at the user’s behest. Such a jutsu was designed by a famed Iwa shinobi from long ago, whom was never able to summon and was tired of loosing to them due to this size. With this, NO ONE will ever be the bigger opponent again!
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'S'.

Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.

It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported.

Rank: B
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 5 meters.
Handseals: 1.
Chakra: Halves the user's chakra.
Special: When first learned, a single Shadow Clone can be produced. Each time re-learned, one additional clone can be made, for a maximum of 5. Please remember that regardless of the amount of clones made, the chakra is still divided evenly amongst all bodies. However, when a clone is defeated or chooses to disappear, whatever remaining chakra within their bodies, as well as their knowledge, returns to the user. The only exception is 'Bunshin Bakuha', which sacrifices the chakra return for a grand explosion. This technique can only be learned by Jounin ranked shinobi; no exceptions!
Description: Kage Bunshin is an advanced, forbidden Ninjutsu technique, which grants the user the ability to create a tangible clone. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. However, Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance, to the point the clone can utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, and spawns with any equipment the user has one them at the time of the summoning. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Type: Offensive.
Range: 5 meter explosion.

Once a normal Kage Bunshin is created, the user can detonate the clone at any time to form a very large explosion.

Kasumi Enbu no Jutsu (Mist Waltz Technique) 50
Rank: C
Type: Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: 5.
Chakra: Low.
Special: Range for mist spray depends on the user's 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Doubles the damage of the Katon technique it's used on.
Description: As its name implies, the Mist Waltz is just that – a vicious mist expelled by the user through their mouth at high speeds, which, when in contact with any form of flame, will create a napalm like explosion, enhancing the fire and even creating disastrous fires which quickly spread and burn. 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.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka of equal rank.

Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique) (4) 200
Rank: C
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 6.
Chakra: Low
Special: Distance of fireballs depends on the highest rank known of 'Enkou Shinka'. Up to one fireball can be made, plus one more each time retrained. However, after every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Fireballs travel in a straight line, but can be manipulated individually if the user is still, is holding the last seal of the jutsu, and has eye contact with the fireball they wish to control.
Description: Basic yet very effective within the Katon arsenal of jutsu, this technique allows the ninja to emit a series of small fire balls after a simple set of handseals are made. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, because they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like shuriken or kunai, and only select doujutsu and bloodline abilities allow the user to see through the deception.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'C'.

Housenka Tsumabeni no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Nails Red Technique) 100
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 7.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Fireball specs are equal to 'Housenka', including the amount one can make. Because the fire in this technique is stronger, the projectiles combined with the fire will retain its properties as long as the user has chakra to pay for, which by default, is one turn. As such, each time retrained, the imbued projectiles will retain its fiery properties for an extra turn. However, after every third retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one.
Description: An evolution to Housenka, the user unleashes a volley of projectiles with one hand, while at the same time exhaling fire-infused chakra onto them. This is done in order to increase the weapons' destructive potential by making them capable of inflicting severe burns upon direct contact with either the intended victim or any other object caught within their trajectories. Due to the chakra-based nature of the flames that surround them, the shuriken will continue to burn after impact, regardless of the flammability of the object that they ultimately collide with.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'.

Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique) (4) 200
Rank: C
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 4.
Chakra: Mid.
Special: Produces an intense stream of fire that can move as far as one's 'Enkou Shinka' rank, halved. Because the flames are slightly more intense than other Katon jutsu, each time this is retrained, the user can stack 'C' ranked burning damage. However, for every fourth retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Can be trained a maximum of 8 times. Stream can last up to a whole turn, but when using this jutsu, the user must be standing still.
Description: Goukakyuu no Jutsu is a fundamental Katon ninjutsu technique which allows the user to freely control fire itself as it leaves their body. The ninja does the necessary hand seals, draws chakra from their mouth into their chest and them immediately exhales it. During this point, they then blow a stream of fire which erupts into a large sphere of flames. To better manage the flames the ninja will bring their hand to their mouth to control it.

Special: Distance that the dragon heads can travel depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shinka' rank. Dragon heads measure 20% 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 (up to a maximum of 'S' rank damage!). 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.

Endan (Fireball) (8) 400
Rank: C
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 2.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance that 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 20% 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. Can be learned a maximum of 8 times.
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'.

Dai Endan (Great Fireball) 100
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!

Description: An upgrade to the 'Endan' technique, this allows the user to expel an even greater stream of fire now that they are more adept at controlling their Katon chakra. With the stream of fire, they can quickly shoot off several larger fireballs in quick succession, resulting in an overwhelming set of blasts all carrying an explosive fate.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'. Endan.

Haisekishou (Burning Ash Accumulation) (3) (300)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!

Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user will expel an ash cloud from his mouth, tinted a dark stoic gray. This large cloud will quickly begin to envelope the area in which a foe stands and when the user clicks their teeth, the cloud will ignite in an violent, fiery napalm-like explosion.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'.

Hibashiri (Running Fire) (2) 300
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 12.
Chakra: High
Special: Distance at which the stream can travel and height of flame rings depends on the user's highest 'Enkou Shika' rank, halved. Up to 1 stream can be produced at any given time, resulting in one imprisoned target; each time retrained however, one extra stream is gained, and thus, one extra potential target. However, after every second retraining, chakra consumption goes up by one.
Description: An excellent trapping jutsu, this allows the Katon user to essentially generate rings of fire around their opponent. After a few brief handseals, the user sends a stream of fire across the ground moving at high speeds, aiming to strike their target. However, rather than burning on impact, the fire stream quickly splits in two so that it may surround the target in a circular manner. Once the two meet again on the other side, a wall of fire double that of the victim's size is erected all around (underground included), with heat and intensity of flame doubling. From there, the user may choose to either close the prison in on the victim, or keep it active for the sake of interrogation.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'A'.

Kishou Hisuzaku no Jutsu (Art of the Rising Flame Phoenix) 300
Rank: S
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 15.
Chakra: Massive.
Special: Creates a massive explosion upon impact, covering an area of up to ten meters in radius. After the explosion, the user can spend an additional High amount of chakra to recreate the phoenix at a third of its original size, which causes the second impact's explosion to be cut down to 10 meters but maintaining the deadly aspect of it. This process may only be repeated once per time the jutsu is cast.
Description: The user performs the handseals, gathering chakra while inhaling deeply. Then, with a powerful exhale, the user will release a stream of flame. Spatial manipulation rapidly shapes the flames into the form of a large phoenix with a wingspan of ten meters and a body length of four meters. Upon impact, the entirety of the phoenix will wrap itself up into a small ball, taking just under a half second to complete, before detonating and releasing a massive explosion, enveloping anyone, including the user, that is too close.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'S'.

Description: Handseals are performed by the shinobi, who concentrates their chakra and releases it into the air around them. This allows them to run swiftly by decreasing air resistance, and even sprint across or run up vertical surfaces by generating a wind current behind themselves to propel them forward. Kakucho Sokudo doubles the user's speed, making them hard to follow with an untrained eye. They are, however, slower than the average Shunshin. The advantage here is the ability to maneuver mid-run instead of having to continue in a linear path.
Domain: Fuuton. Kiroku Gaijuu 'A'.

[Sayomi]

The sound a structure collapsing echoed through the land and beneath the moon glow, Masumi could see the giant snake and its presumed summoner atop its head. Merely twenty meters off from the crumbling gates Masumi gave a devilish grin as she peered from the darkness, out of sight and behind the two invaders. The Nidaime Mizukage, who was thought to be lost in the last war was indeed still alive. Having been underground for such a long time she'd avoided others and stayed out of sight since Kouketsu sudden disappearance with the help of Sora.

"Hehehe seems Sora is in a pinch.... the children seem to be fighting."

The irony of this moment made her chuckle, it reminded her of her days with Kouketsu and how they sieged the village of Sunagakure with just the two of them. The thrill she got when she blasted down the gates was exhilarating and she was sure whoever they were had the same goosebumps crawl across their skin. It had been so long since the woman had some fun and the mark upon the nape of her neck was begging for her to join in. It was tempting so much so that Masumi couldn't help herself. The demon was itching to murder...

Licking her lips she was sure Soras could wait for her, he'd probably be grateful to her with how it seemed the tides of war were going. She had behaved for so long and though her existence was secret Masumi doubted they could recognize her with her black robe on and the hood pulled over her head. The only indication to who she was would be her auburn hair that reached down to her legs and around her face. With all the commotion happening at the gates she was sure her simple approach was unheard.

She merely watched from twenty meters away, eyes pilfering over the chaotic scene.

[marvolous.]

OOC: Not waiting any longer. I'll have one of my ANBU leave this thread during the next round.

It was time to get things rolling.

Almost synchronized, both Genma and Izuna allowed their hands to dance a melody of hand seals. Izuna, in what seemed to be instantaneous, birthed an exact likeness of himself¹ - one that with it's manifestation took guard directly in front of him; he only needed a couple more seconds to finish his seals², so the clone would serve to guard him during such.

Genma, however, was different. Being far more in-tuned with the might gaia, he did no have to worry about moving whilst in the process of conjuring his own technique³. Nevertheless, if their opponent - well, the snake they were riding on - chose to target them, they would both do whatever was needed to respond effectively.

Fortunately for Izuna, he did no have to wait too long for his technique to come to fruition. With the finally seal finished he leaned back momentarily, allowing his chest to fill with air and his chakra to surge to his mouth. Then, with but a simple exhale, he spewed forth a steady stream of chakra. At first it just shot forward, appearing as if it was aimless and uncontrollable, but it quickly formed into three separate heads - all resembling dragons.

They were each six meters long and wide; the furthest one (On the left) aimed to hit the snake from it's right flank; the middle was aimed to hit him directly under his mouth (Chest area); the last one would be designed to come in from the snake's left side. Regardless, they would be aimed and would be readjusted even if the snake tried moving prior to their manifestation. Considering it's rather large size, avoiding all three blasts from different sides would be difficult to do.

OOC: i waited long enough, leaving.

The idea of battling here was interesting, but Masumi decided finding Sora was the more important task at hand. She was sure if she found him battle was surely awaiting her. Weaving around the massive snake and the unsuspecting shinobi atop it she stuck closely to the jumping onyx shadows, body obscured by feathers of a most shading black. Using the rocks and the commotion in front of her she simply applied chakra to her feet and scaled the walls of the gate and entered into Sunagkure. The hooded woman needed to find that man and she wouldn't be stopped.

Finally, somebody had made an appearance. My challengers came in the form of not one, but two ANBU guards, the "elite" of the village. I had squared off with many of these masked ninja in my lifetime, and some had even put up a good fight - but there was nothing that was going to stop my rampage, and if these two were the only ones that stood between me and the village, I was going to devour them plain and simple . . .

"So you are Suna's defenders . . . "

My snake slithered backwards slightly at the sight of them, lifting itself up high into the air, its massive size fully on display as it would tower over the battlefield, aware of the tension in the air, aware that those two were the enemy. Its tongue flicked in and out, tasting the air, locking onto their scent, and at a moments notice it would be ready to strike - however, I found myself wanting to see them demonstrate their ability, to see if they had the confidence to attack me first . . . I mean, after all that's what I came to the gates here looking for; for somebody to bring the fight to ME!

The two ANBU swiftly moved into action, one producing a clone, and then the both of them moving to perform handseals. I merely stood atop my snake, hands at my sides, red eye staring down at them, the height of my snake made it difficult to make out what exactly they were doing, but I didn't really care, I was going to give them their chance, and then it was going to be my turn.

"Let's see what you can do, ANBU!"

My face contorted into a twisted grin at the sight of the flames, barely able to contain myself from laughing hysterically. The destruction, the violence, I loved it all so much, and regardless of what was happening, I was truly enjoying myself. I spoke under my breath to my summon, commanding the creature to shoot entirely upright, the sheer size of the summon giving me a great view into the village itself - and that's when I would see it, a massive spider off into the distance, and there was only one person that could have come from.

The flames would strike the serpent along its body as intended, bursting into pretty little fireballs, spreading even more fire with each impact. The heat was intense, I could feel the hot air soaring upwards, making it rather uncomfortable up here, but it was nothing I couldn't handle. They had probably intended to roast my servant alive, but unfortunately for the ANBU, he would find that aside from a few black marks running up the beast's body, the snake would be fine, its incredibly resilient scales protecting it from harm,

"Pretty."

I chuckled under my breath at the attack, but I wasn't underestimating them, I was still very much aware that the second one had yet to do anything. With another simple command uttered to my beast, it would suddenly lurch forward, its huge body snapping towards them at incredible speeds. The snake was aimed directly for the flame-shooting ninja, closing the distance in just a quick moment by coming in at a downward angle, aiming to smash through whatever was in its path, the shinobi included. Taking the sheer size of my summon into account, evasion would be fairly difficult, and it was unlikely he could mount any sort of offense strong enough to stop it in time. Heck, even if he did move, I'd settle for destroying what was left of the gate, completely toppling its frame over.

"It's my turn now!"

My hands were quick to run through seals of my own during the attack, I aimed to keep the pressure on them, to run through them with overwhelming force - the same thing I intended to do to their village itself.

Sharkk has missed the IIC for the last time. While his character is considered "there," he will not be allowed to continue in this event and he should be skipped (in the posting order) as if he isn't there.

Considering I wasn't asked about this from you, Naga, I'm not sure what to presume on that front. Technically, it was your post (being as how you know he wasn't posting). I'm not going to give you 48 hours, but at least 24 just to ensure that my bases are covered.

OOC: I talked about this with Genbu a couple days ago and he told me that although your technique does state it protects you from attacks below its rank, it won't prevent your snake from well... being on fire. Each 'dragon head' upon impact spreads six meters long of fire, and considering you got hit by all three from different sides, your snake - as Genbu said - would be on fire.

Regardless, my technique does added damage equivalent to how many times I trained the Great Fireball. Considering that's 4 times, all B-rank - bumped up a rank because of my mastery - going off the system, that's about S-rank fire damage per dragon-head (B+B=A A+ A= S). I'm just bringing this up for reference; so either way, your snake is on fire.

There was a reason why Izuna had summoned a clone before him.

Having previously watched the rather large snake summon attempt to breach the wall with it's body earlier, he had expected his opponent to continue with such tactics - and wasn't even caught off guard in the slightest by it's sudden lunge downward. No, as soon as there was even a slight indication of what was to come both he and his clone would take off - albeit, in completely different directions.

Via a shunshin, Izuna shot off towards his right along the top of the gate, whilst his clone, also utilizing the same ability, did the same in the opposite direction. That wasn't all, however-- with enough distance cleared and out of the way of harm, they both spun on the heels of their feet, a mere two hand seals formed having been formed as they did so¹.

With their momentum, as their body leaned forward they expelled a jet-stream of fire at the same time; both that would, considering the speed of their technique, shoot forward at their opponent as his snake would most likely be in the process of lifting his head after finally breaking through a section of the gate's wall with it's head.

Each blast shot off from each direction at the same time, and in the center where they'd meet - where my opponent was - a large explosion would manifest, each blast coalescing with each other to double the explosion's power and radius. Considering the fire's ability to shoot out long distances, even if he moved prior to our attack - or even if he stayed down in the rubble - we would still be able to track him and properly align our blasts to get the best success rate.

Meanwhile, having fully completed the preparation to his own technique and having moved himself to the left five meters, Izuna released his own attack on his opponent's summon. Manifesting directly beneath him would be what appeared to be a swamp, each side extending far past the snake's natural width. It wasn't long enough to fully catch him, but considering most of his body would be within it's boundaries if caught, it wouldn't be moving anytime soon.

Izuna/Clone:
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) 25 4
Rank: D.
Type: Supplementary.
Range: 0 - 10m.
Handseals: -
Chakra: Low.
Special: Despite popular belief, this is not an ability that allows an individual to teleport, or even move incomprehensibly fast. It simply combines high mobility with some disruption of visibility to conceal those movements. That in mind, if you can conceal your movement, it is common for this technique to allow very long-distance dashes before enemies may notice you.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique - to an observer caught in the optical illusion, it appears as if the user has teleported. This allows the user to escape or attack suddenly, should they need to. However, while a high-speed movement, if used in broad daylight, one will still be quite visible and as such, easier to be defended against. In order to achieve maximum effect, the user must to combine it with a distraction.
Domain: Universal Ninjutsu.

Tier 1 - Might of Fire: All offensive Katon jutsu now do an additional rank of damage, up to a maximum of 'S' rank.

Tier 2 - Fiery Spirit: Chakra costs for Katon jutsu are reduced by one tier.

Endan (Fireball) (8) 400
Rank: C B.
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 2.
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance that 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 20% 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. Can be learned a maximum of 8 times.
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'.

Genma:
Domain: [35 meters]

Yomi Numa (Swamp of the Underworld) (2) 300
Rank: A
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 12.
Chakra: x2 High.
Special: Range, size and depth of swamp, depends on the user’s level of Doton Ryouuken. Takes a full turn to sink and seal, but if the target cannot escape the range of the swamp in time, they soon become the victim, sealed away in an alternate swamp dimension. Can be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: After forming the needed handseals, the user summons a vast filthy, bubbling swamp that can appear directly beneath their target to sink and kill it. The benefit of this is that no earth source is needed as the user creates their own, meaning they could potentially sink targets over any source. The swamp can be perceived as being on its own dimension - once absorbed, the swamp and its victims are gone forever. Due to its size, this jutsu was meant to take out large summons, creatures and even armies of men.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'A'.

Being on fire is fine, but Genbu told me specifically that jutsu doesn't stack like that (B+B = A), so I've still defended against the majority of the attack, most of the additional fire will be snuffed out pretty easily in this post.

Had they thought they escaped so easily? There was a reason I was confident in my ability to take the gates on my own, after all. Their display of fireworks was cute, but they were foolish to think it would matter in the long run, or that something so simple as a clearly visible shunshin would save them from what was to come.

wasn't even caught off guard in the slightest by it's sudden lunge downward. No, as soon as there was even a slight indication of what was to come both he and his clone would take off

I had made the first move, and much like my opponents, it wasn't hard to react at the slightest movement - in fact, when the real ANBU moved, it took no effort at all for my summon to redirect itself with a slight turn. It was easy to follow the movements of the shunshin without the use of a distraction, even better for me was the fact that he moved a simple 10 meters and thought he was safe from harm - it seemed they'd underestimated the size of my minion anyways, I mean, even with their movements the beast was still 20 meters wide, still leaving them both just barely in range regardless.

"NOT SO FAST!"

Seeing as I had indeed moved first and followed him as he shunshin'd, my snake would already be upon him and the earth user by the time he was preparing his jutsu. Seeing as he'd moved 10 meters closer to his ally, and then the earth user moved an additional 5 meters closer, putting them right side-by-side. Regardless of what they had planned, the fact of the matter was that they would have a 20 meter thick snake smashing through them, and seeing as they were both in the middle of something, their ability to dodge an object so large (especially the fire user caught in his attack) would be slim at best, of course this was excluding my own actions.

Simultaneous with the smashing of my summon did I bring 5 more serpents into this fight, bursting from my sleeves with incredible speed, their targets being the two ANBU. Any attempts to evade my summon would be met with smaller, but still entirely deadly snakes aiming to sink their fangs into their body, their 30 meter range allow them to home in on them whether they would jump, shunshin or anything, really.

"JUST DIE!"

Regardless of the outcome, the summon would smash through whatever was in its path and continue onwards as planned, its 50 meter span allowing it to easily stretch and cross over any swamp created, snuffing out the flames that covered it on contact with the sand inside the village walls - but unfortunately for the ANBU, the swamp's 30 meter size would also envelop the area they were in, and with the very structure they stood on being destroyed, they would find themselves with nowhere safe to land, other dangers aside! As for the fireball of the clone, it would strike the side of the summon seeing as it had turned, its flames and explosion miniature in comparison to the snake, the scales of the beast protecting it from damage.

Are we finished here . . . ?

Senei Jashu (Hidden Shadow Snake Hands) [250]
Rank: C x 5
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Distance and strength of extending snakes depends on the user's 'Nan-Kaizou'. Initially one normal-sized snake comes forth, plus one more each time retrained; however, after every fifth retraining, consumption will go up by one. Each snake can perform its own poisoning, and carries its own level of strength.
Description: Senei Jashu is a signature Kagehebi Nintaijutsu technique which allows the clan member to manifest a bundle of quick-striking snakes that extend from the user’s sleeves. The Kagehebi extends his palm and shoots out snakes to attack a target, having them move at impressive speeds and strike with their fangs. Though basic, this variation has been known to subdue even the strongest of foes with a single snake bite.
Domain: Kagehebi. Nan-Kaizou 'C'.

So, before I get started with handing out this verdict, I just want to let both of you know that there is an ooc thread for this kind of stuff. Please, do not clutter up the IC thread with a bunch of nonsense. If you're having a dispute, post it there; the next time this happens I'm going to drop both of you on your heads.

Moving on, I'll be addressing the issues\complaints in the order you two have seemed to list them.

[/b][/color] Sachi, you're incorrect about your snake's scales. With us taking out "ranked damage," that defensive racial breaker isn't nearly as potent as it used to be, which is fitting considering it's nothing more than one of the limitless generic snakes that can be summoned.

It's widely understood that Katon is probably the most destructive basic element on the site (we won't be counting elemental kekkei genkai), namely due to the fact that it deals primarily with fire and explosions. The technique that Naga used is one of the stronger katon jutsu, being as how it has the force needed to punch through a concrete wall several feet thick (as demonstrated in the series). As he agreed, your scales would certainly dampen the blunt impact of the technique by a considerable amount, but it wouldn't do much to stop the fires.

Being as how you were hit by three of them, and they do explode (a bonus force after the pure impact of the dragon head), your snake is finished. You took a blow directly to the throat, which is more than enough evidence that I need to rule that his gullet is probably toasted and hanging out down the rest of its nasty body. Naturally, this wouldn't stop the fires from spreading after the explosion, which means its corpse is wholesomely roasting right now.

Now, if you're wondering how I came up with this verdict... Well, feel free to watch the series and see how easily it was for Naruto (or was it Sasuke?) to kill one of those massive brown snakes. A pair of shuriken and kunai to the head completely dropped it. Naturally, our snakes aren't that pathetic, but the generic snakes aren't going to be able to just eat jutsu and shrug it off like it's nothing.

2. Despite the fact that the snake is deceased (and thereby nullifying a lot of the stuff you guys were arguing about), the Swamp of the Underworld technique is no longer in play. Being as how Naga responded to you with that counter due to the assumption that the snake was alive (when it wasn't), I'm going to void it. And though the flames are still expanding along the body, Sachi can still remove himself from the snake and on to solid ground. How the snake falls (which will most likely be the safest way to facilitate this maneuver) is entirely up to him. I hope that's clear.

3. I figured that I'd go ahead and clarify something. Sachi is correct in the fact that shunshin no jutsu requires a distraction to be of any real use. Otherwise, you're just running like an average person, Naga. It isn't a random burst of speed, as the technique states - it's a method of combining high mobility with a sudden disturbance (visual, generally) to give off the illusion of having teleported from one place to another (in ten meter spurts).

Using it with nothing to facilitate the movement is just a waste of chakra, because it won't be doing anything. Presuming his snake hadn't died, Sachi's "tracking" of you would have been entirely legitimate and legal. You might want to keep that in mind for future threads; it'll save some arguments.[/ul]
With all of that cleared up, I'll be deleting the infestation of OOC posts here. If you have any questions or complaints, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll explain things more thoroughly. However, the verdict is final.

The posting order will continue, with Sachi being up. The setting takes place immediately after his snake was hit by the dragon heads, and is now deceased and falling in whatever fashion he sees fit. The 48 hour IIC begins once agiain with this post.[/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[King]

Sachi has missed the IIC by a long shot and has been skipped. Due to his own negligence and failure to post, his character remains on the burning corpse of the snake and likewise succumbs to the fire.
