[/i]?! Yes, yes he had. Any distance between himself and Blanche was great. Even still his mind on things were reckless. He wasn't readable, he was confusing, he didn't even know what he was doing. He had begun to think that perhaps killing anyone and everyone was the best thing. A world with just him and nature...And then the sound of a battle molded his mind together if even for a moment.

"BATTLE!"[/color][/i]

It was the one thing that could sedate his madness. Quickly finding the battle at hand, hand-seals formed with Spencerian. So many times had he formed the same hand-seals for his arsenal. One boy fell to the ground, smoke rising from his charred flesh, obviously a victim of the overheard explosion. Another man in the air, a girl in the distance, while a large blade wielding man charged at her...Tilting his head he picked out the order of their deaths. As the man with the large blade appeared to be outnumbered perhaps he could use some assistance...before his death!

Hand-seals finished, leaving Kade with a clone to either of his sides. They were more than mere techniques though, these clones were real. Exact copies of his very cells. They were his brothers. "Go..."[/color] A whisper heard by none his appearance could be seen by only the man in the air and the girl, that was if the man with the large blade didn't block her vision. More hand-seals working together, Kade wouldn't even notice as his brother's copied his seals.

Mokuton Ryouuken (Wood Dominion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: 0 - 50 meters
Handseals: No.
Chakra: High [mid]
Special: Dominion extends 10 meters in every direction of the user, and goes up 10 more with each rank learned.
Description: The basis behind the majority of Mokuton techniques lie in the user's ability to control the wood and trees the name implies. 'Wood Dominion' is just that, a fundamental supplementary jutsu of Mokuton nature that allows the user to intermingle their chakra with that of nature, harmonizing the two in order to create complete control over all wood around them. Once this link is achieved, the door is opened for greater creations to be made.
Domain: Mokuton.

Moku Bunshin no Jutsu (Wood Clone Technique)
Rank: C [three] [d-rank seals]
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / Kekkei Touta
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid [low]
Special: Clone speed matches that of the user. Up to one clone can be made at a time, plus one more each time retrained. Clone may only perform Mokuton based jutsu, and may absorb one blow equal to this technique. Upon being stricken down, the clone explodes and releases shrapnel within 5 meters, sending hundreds of small splinters into anybody within the range of the explosion.
Description: After a few handseals, the user will cause beams of wood to emerge from his or her body, quickly taking the shape of the user. Within moments, this wood will morph and form a into a carbon copy of the users will, capable of utilizing all the same Mokuton techniques as the caster. This clone is created by altering the user's own cells with chakra, granting it more endurance than the normal Shadow Clones to the point it simply doesn't disappear when hit by the enemies' attacks. Moreover, since it has the ability to merge with plants and trees, it is also great for reconnaissance missions. They have the ability to travel far distances from the user and are able to communicate with the original mentally at any time.
Domain: Mokuton. Must know Wood Dominion 'C'.

[Big Black Fish]

What I find most interesting is not the fact that my attack succeeded in scourging the bug man, but more so in the thought that the sword wielder does not even bother to shoot a glance at his partner in crime. So much for allies; the guy seems unaffected by his dying partner. Regardless, the sword wielder instantly employs an offensive maneuver that hopes to exploit my seemingly helpless position of hanging in the air. He throws two kunai at me, but with my Sharingan active I am able to react in an immediate fashion that renders his attack ineffective. Typical thought would be that I was stuck in the air and the kunai would find lodging in my body, however, through the use of a previously utilized technique I would completely avoid this tragic result. Call me a one trick pony, but damn it's a good trick!

With my Sharingan active, the initial movement of his hands are duly noted and reacted upon, prepping me for an impending attack. His strategy is calculated, but flawed in that the element of surprise is diffused through my scarlet iris'. Although the Sharingan manages to make me aware of the situation, it is otherwise useless at removing me from the danger at hand. What proves to be my salvation in this predicament is my ability to jump mid flight 4.5 m/s. As soon as he releases his kunai I propel myself downwards towards the solid earth while the two projectiles will soar harmlessly overhead and over the cliff along with the attached explosive notes.

However, through it all, this does not conclude the forces acting against my opponents assault. Setting aside the fact that my Sharingan was able to predict his attack as well as my ability to dodge these projectiles midair, what really counters his attack has nothing to do with me at all but rather the Tsuchikage herself! With the mass array of crows that fill the skies in a swarm-like formation in front of me, the probability of the kunai swimming through the sea of crows and finding their way to me is nigh impossible... Think about it: the chances of him throwing the kunai through what appears to be at least one hundred crows and not touching a single crow is one hundred to one. I wouldn't take those odds at the casino... And even if he was the luckiest man on earth and managed to pull it off, he still wouldn't have hit me so it's safe to say I'm in the clear. I can't say the same thing for my opponent. As soon as my feet meet the floor I Shunpo where my opponent once stood before he traveled into the tornado of crows.

It's unclear whether the sword wielder is ignorant of, or neglecting to consider the crows traversing the sky but he has now thrown himself in the center of them who now converge upon him with devilish velocity and lancinating form. After seeing this, I must admit that all plans of scoring the Tsuchikage's digits are thrown out because if my charm is unwanted, I not only piss her off but also the crows as well. No thank you. With the man being completely enveloped by the crows, it's tough to say I will be seeing him again though who knows what crafty trick he has up his sleeve. But as for me, a new threat arose back when I was dealing with the kunai. I noticed him awhile ago but didn't really have much time to think about it. But now that it is safe to say the Kage is unequivocally capable of defending herself, I am now able to weigh the options of how to deal with our new arrival.

With my bow slung with all its attachments from before, I see fact from fiction. In another words, the guy who has abnormally started to expel tree limbs from his arms to create clones is the real deal and the other two are just bullshit. Why did you have to show up... Sigh, I wanna go home now. Are you friend or foe dude? Please don't say the latter.

Hien (Flight of the Swallow)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Stamina: Mid
Special: Allows the user to change momentum and jump in midair, and adds a 150% speed boost to the second jump. Can be used once per jump, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: By kicking against the air and utilizing chakra similar to the way it is used when walking on water, the user is able to "double jump." This can be used in any direction, for a second upward boost, to alter momentum midair to avoid an attack, or even upwards to plummet to the ground with a boost of momentum.
Domain: Tenjouken, Tenjou no Shuuren 'B'
[Trained twice]

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Stamina: Low
Special: Shunpo is a high-speed movement in which the user travels in a linear fashion from one point to another. Usually facilitated with some sort of distraction (smoke bomb, explosion, or something of that nature to obscure one's vision), the user of the Shunpo can, in some cases, appear to have simply teleported from one location to another. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo.
Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal.
Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu.

I don't know how you threw two kunai with one hand but I don't want to start an argument so w/e haha. Also, if you aren't wearing your headbands please state such because otherwise people will assume you're wearing it. My bad though for assuming.

[King]

01 Batman is a tool and put "twice trained" at the bottom, instead of the top, so I overlooked it. However, considering double-jump is obviously "half" of the previous total (you were 30 ft, but now you're fifteen with double-jump), you're still in the air.

[/b] Just to to clarify, it's possible to throw two kunai with one hand. We've seen it on the show multiple times, just like how they throw multiple shuriken and senbon. It isn't hard. People throw multiple throwing knives with one hand, so there isn't a need to to try and reach for something that silly.[/ul]

Ruling: Considering your evasion midair was unacceptable, the rest of your post is nullified. You're struck in the torso by both kunai, which would probably hurt like a bitch. I believe they're timed, too, so by your next post should be your death post and a rain of blood of guts coming down.

Since I haven't been called by any party to judge the crow bit or anything else, this is the extent of my verdict thus far. Posting continues as normal.[/justify][/blockquote]

Two wide, childish red eyes watched the fighting unfold with a growing interest. He'd never seen so many idiots congregate at one place, but it was definitely a new experience for him. Perched on one of the many boulders of the surrounding area, say ten meters away and off to the left of the newest arrival (Kade), Ashura retained his crouched position. Tilting his head to the side, he assessed the damage.

Two dead, and the pretty lady was about to add herself to the body count.

Ashura made no attempt to hide himself as he approached (it'd be somewhat difficult in such an open area, anyway), or even as he found his bird's eye view watch-box. It wasn't like any of these kids -- ironically speaking -- posed any real threat to him, or his senpai. Nope, not here.

"Ryu-sensei," he spoke excitedly, "I think that guy with the sword is actually going to kill the pretty lady!" He didn't know who she was, but had he known that she was the Tsuchikage, he probably would've laughed. "Poor, poor pretty lady."

Clapping his hands, the child anxiously waited for more chaos to ensue.

Rather, with my crows as guide I secretly retreated backward a total of 3 times, placing me a comfortable 42 meters away from where the Taijutsu practitioner stood on the front lines.

In regards to your shunpo attempt, nice try, I really mean that, however, its fail as well. You see, Akegarasu's shunshin is merely an extension of shunpo / shunshin, much like Ju Kenshi's stinger technique. What this means is that, although it is an individual technique, it is still based on your characters knowledge of shunshin, which, in tyour case is only the base (aka forward body flicker). Considering that is the one and only shunshin you have, you'd be going forwards not backwards.

Ju was more than confident that he hit his target dead on, in fact, it was almost as if he felt his pair of Kunai dig deep into the mans chest. Unfortunately, he was the grand finale which meant there had been one last thing to take care of - the Tsuchikage.

That second second of travel carried him 11 meters, now face to face (hands reach) with the woman ready to bring forth his blade to end her life.

With his might gathered well before he even came within striking range of the woman, it was all clear sailing from that point on. She seemed confused with her own movements, indecisive even, almost as if she was ready to rip forward at the drop of a dime. It's safe to say that nothing in the world was instantaneous, considering that, that split second before she would have attempted to take off was all the time Ju needed. Given that his speed and reaction time was significantly increased through the means of his inner gates, beating her to the punch had been childsplay. Again, with his strength gathered beforehand and the distance devoured between himself and the Tsuchikage, his claymore would have been lifted up in a diagonal fashion, aimed to cut through the woman's left hip up to the opposite shoulder. Thereafter, a sudden rush of damage and pain would've consumed her entire body, almost as if Ju unleashed four separate cuts with only a single draw of his sword.

The woman's life was essentially forfeit at that point, and whatever Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, or whatever type of jutsu she had planned (or was going to plan) was interrupted. Yeah sure, maybe a few crows were around him here and there, but lets face it, the unorganized school of crows just wasn't large enough to stop their master's aggressor. Meanwhile, as the woman would have been reduced to a serving of dog meat, Ju's swordless hand was free to not only have activated the grand finale, but also secured the completion of his mission. With a single handed seal, a fiery monster emerged from Ju's previously thrown kunai's and attempted to gobblhim up without remorse. Immediately from having felled the woman, he looked to the side to witness and confirm the aftermath of his performance, which, to his surprise left him highly disappointed.

" two projectiles will soar harmlessly overhead and over the cliff along with the attached explosive notes."

His explosions ignited just as he planned when they connected, or rather, when they were suppose to. At the peak of his jump (even after he forced himself down) , it was safe to say that he was still caught within the explosion itself (5 meter radius), just not the full brunt of it. Some sort of damage was sure to accumulate and become evident on the mans body as a result, but unfortunately, for him, the aggressor wasn't happy with the outcome. In a fit of irritation, his right arm swelled with power once more, and almost immediately after would he have swung his blade in a horizontal arc (laterally) towards, but below, his falling opponent (who is five meters to Ju's side). Gaining momentum as it shot forth, the bladed beam was timed in a fashion where it was aimed to meet with the Anbu's landing around his abdominal area.

-Exploding Notes: 8 / 10


Zangeki (X-Cut)
Rank: D, C, B [175 Exp]
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High | Mid (B) ---> Low
Special: Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi' plus the user's highest rank known, resulting in bonus hacking damage - and yes, damage does stack. Each rank known of this technique increases the numbers of cuts performed at once, meaning when the user attacks 'x' amount of times, all of those appear to come off as a singular attack; keep in mind, however, that this STILL stacks Stamina Consumption.

• D: 2x cut
  
• C: 3x cut
  
• B: 4x cut
  
• A: 5x cut
  
• S: 6x cut

Description: The X-cut allows the Ju Kenshi to display their fierce-some control over their heavy weaponry by unleashing a quick set of strikes when merely one is expected; that is, while the Ju Kenshi appears to draw with but one slash, perhaps two, or even three have been delivered all at once. The result? A sudden rush of damage onto whatever is foolish enough to stand in its way.
Domain: Ju Kenshin. Zanbatou Mochi.

Stamina Reduction I

Zanbatou Mochi (Charged Attack Sentinel)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: Self
Stamina: Very Low - Very High ---> High
Special: Highest rank known determines strength of charge, as well a charge time. Bonus damage calculator - add the base rank of the Ju Kenshi's sword plus any bonus it brings, PLUS the highest rank of this technique. The user can determine which rank they want to use, but it must be proportionate to the rank of any other technique used if used in tandem with something.

• D: Full Post (5 seconds)
  
• C: 3/4th's of a Post (4 Seconds)
  
• B: Half a Post (3 Seconds)
  
• A: 1/4th a Post (2 Seconds)
  
• S: Near-Instant! (less than 1 Second)

Description: The basis of all Ju Kenshi techniques, Zanbatou Mochi alows the Ju Kenshi to briefly "charge" their attack, pausing momentarily in order to gather their might. Then, quicker than the blink of an eye, they can unleash their strike anywhere they please, extra force behind it to either defend against incoming strikes or deliver an extra useful strike. Though the brief charge and small period after the swing leaves the user open, the trade-off is a devastating swinging sword that can decimate anything in its way.
Domain: Ju Kenshi

Kousen (Blade Beam)
Rank: D, C, B, A [325 Exp]
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu / Ju Kenshi
Range: See special!
Stamina: Very Low - Very High | High (A) ---> Mid
Special: Highest rank known determines range and speed of the blade beam; width of beam will always be 1/4th of the distance traveled. Damage is reliant on 'Zanbatou Mochi', plus the user's highest rank known, resulting in bonus slashing damage. Beam travels in a straight line, and requires the swing of the sword's edge towards the desired target in order to be released.

• D: 9 meter range / 3 meters per second travel speed
  
• C: 18 m range / 6 mps
  
• B: 27 m range / 9 mps
  
• A: 36 m range / 12 mps
  
• S: 45 m range / 15 mps

Description: As its name implies, the Blade Beam is a range attack as a result of a sword swing. The user cocks their weapon back briefly and, after charging, cuts the air before them. The result is pure cutting power forming a blade beam nearly invisible to the naked eye, able to travel a certain distance at dangerous speed. The speed of the cutter is frighteningly fast, and can grow in size as the Ju Kenshi grows in skill and strength. Finally, the strength of the beam is directly proportionate to the cutting powers of the blade employed.
Domain: Ju Kenshin. Zanbatou Mochi.

[1] Kaimon (Gate of Opening)

[/u]
Rank: C^x12 [600 Exp]
Type: Supplementary / Nintaijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Mid [per turn]
Handseals: No
Special: See subjutsu. Lasts for one turn, plus one more each time retrained. Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt regular Genjutsu 'D' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at twice (6 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye will have a harder time focusing on the user, seeing the figure slightly blurry but still themselves, and a Sharingan Stage 2 would be the only one to truly see with clarity. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields strain, but does not restrict the user's level of Taijutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon) is located in the brain, and upon activation, releases the brain's restraints, allowing full power usage of the body's muscles. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use extremely strong techniques, such as the Iron Fist's Frontal Lotus.
Domain: Hachimon.

Honestly, it didn't take my body long to make a quick pivot in the opposite direction and take off in a near blur ~ especially when my opponent had been busy moving in to cast his projectiles at my airborne ally. Despite his savage attempts I still managed to flee thirty meters into the distance; though it was not a linear travel that was made. Under the starless sheet my crows left over the battlefield I dashed away in zig-zag fashion, vision still in tune with him from over my shoulder. As my feet graced the earth once more my lithe frame made an even swifter change back to his direction. While that occured pale fingers were already in the midst of performing another chakra inducing rhythm. Like preordained my murderous flock began their frenzy upon the demon before me from every angle. Surely I'd go unnoticed in the next few moments, as I was adept in using the crows to my concealed advantage. At the same time my sight caught a brief view of the attention that was forming around our cliff-side skirmish ~ a dark clothed figure with madness in his eyes and a boy bearing features akin to my Kumo acquaintance appeared. What was going on? Only one thing was certain.

I wouldn't be found in the crows.

-akegarasu chakra reduction


Karasu Shunshin no Jutsu (Flickering Crow Technique) [x3]
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Chakra: See Shunshin
Special: Like Shunshin, the user cannot move more than 10 meters at a time. However, they may move at smaller intervals as well. Each use consumes a single 'Shunshin'.
Description: Upon the calling of a murder of crows, the user will call upon his link within the crows, becoming one with their fabled birds temporarily while they travel through the murder effortlessly. As the name indicates, the user travels at Shunshin speed, as long as there is a crow available to hop to. Useful for evading enemies, or setting up a devastating combination attack.
Domain: Akegarasu. Must know 'Sanzengarasu no Jutsu'


Tokigarasu no Jutsu (Murdering One Thousand Crows)
Rank: S
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: High
Special: Murder of crows can only be defeated by a technique of equal rank. Once used, the mental connection to the entire murder of crows is lost and thus they become unusable for any other Akegarasu technique. Furthermore, new crows cannot be summoned until the entire flock has either died or completed their mission. Must be able to summon at least 100 crows.
Description: The finale. Once the crow kings summons their murder, they command them to scatter and converge on their enemy via Sanzengarasu. However, rather than just confusing their enemies by smothering them with crows, the birds gain a temporary rage. As a result, their feathers, claws and beaks momentarily harden and sharpen to that of steel, and the entire mass essentially kamikaze's themselves into the target. What's left of the crow king's victim is...nothing at all. The crows consume everything, leaving only a bloody stump of what once was. Best of all? Once a target is chosen by the user, the crows don't stop until either the target is dead or they are.

OOC: Considering I haven't said anything to you Anemone, I don't appreciate your tone or attitude. If you're being a cunt about the PM I sent you, know that it was a joke between Ryu, Chae and I. Trust me, that isn't my style.

The only other "Judge," really, is Matt. I promise you he doesn't want to BM this thread because he thinks 90% of you are fucking retarded and can't write for shit. If you'd like to have Brad come in, that's fine as well, but I assure you that they'll agree with whatever verdict I make (generally because we all collaborate anyway).

So, do me a favor and don't try to blatantly insult me like that. I've never written with you. I've never even talked to you (namely because I have a standard of who I associate myself with). You don't see me just spouting off some shit about you, so. . . act your age and show some respect. Thank you.

PS: As for your "crow shunshin," the technique itself is very vague and the only thing you really have to go off of is that it operates exactly like shunshin no jutsu does. In case you forgot, shunshin, unless augmented by its sub-techniques, only travels forward. That isn't counter-productive. It just means that you have to be looking toward which area of crows you want to travel to.

So, if you want to travel backward, turn around and you can "hop on" a crow that was previously behind you. It isn't a hard concept to grasp.

It allows you to easily evade enemies because you have a flock of crows flying around (visual distraction) and you can shunshin thereafter (in a direction you're facing), which combined with the visual distraction will let you seem to have teleported undetected. Does that make sense? It should, because as I've said, it's a very simplistic concept to grasp.

However, at the same time, you could argue that the incompetency of whoever made the technique also lets you say: "It doesn't say that, so I should be able to go -here-" (much like you've already done). If that's the route you want to go, feel free to drag Fina in here and have him explicitly state what the technique can or can't do. Or, you could badger some of staff to actually go through customs and other techniques and fix half of the bullshit that's on the site.

A third option is to have Matt or Brad come in here and tell you the exact same thing that I just did -- you know, because I'm completely arrogant and what not (even though, uh, I ruled in favor of your bodyguard killing one of your enemies and shit; you know, totally biased). Give me a fucking break, crow kid; drink bleach.

“Calm down, Ashura,

[/color]” lips moving evenly as words with the intention of only reaching the young Uchiha’s ears, Ryūsuke sighed. Perched directly behind his pupil, a single meter separating their boulders, he would look on scrupulously. Controlled, narrow eyes, exuding crimson would canvas all within its range (being the entirety of the battle). The pong of blood was only overpowered with the stench of charred flesh as flames ate away at the boy’s body. It seemed his travel to Tsuchi no kuni had been followed by peculiar situation after situation; one being Ashura’s abrupt arrival. Regardless, conflict ensued.

The only serene quality of this rather odd occasion was nature. The sky in perfect harmony with the clouds and sun; its rays looking down upon the earth, lightly underlining the steel features of the Uchiha’s Anbu armor; Agni however wasn’t untouched by light. Digesting not only the field and all its factors, but the words uttered by Ashura, Ryūsuke mentally noted all. Two dead, and the ‘pretty lady’ as his younger counterpart called her seemed to have been next. The new arrival, who beckoned forth a construct of otherworldy timber didn’t go disregarded beneath his god-like clarity, either. A new ally had informed him of such a bout, though he hadn’t arrived yet. For the sake of him and all that filled this field, this better not has been a ploy.

Armored digits resting upon the thighs of the crouched shinobi, he’d await when he was needed, or threatened. This wasn’t there battle for now, and while the incentive which brought him here seemed bounteous, he wasn’t without means to live and he could live without it. These were capable combatants, surely they could handles themselves; or not.

[/i] thoughts of action. All of them needed to witness the power of a God. Hardly noticing the two individuals off in the distance, if not at all were it not for the clone to his left and it's wandering eyes. They were no threat to him.

The finishing of their seals could only bring aw to those who watched. For as soon as Kade had ended his seals, the ground shook with more might than any known earthquake. And in a mere moment an entire forest began to break the surface, growing rapidly and spreading wide. All the while his clones stayed prepared, Kade would watch on in madness as his creation grew and grew. Surrounding trees around the three to his front would only aim to trap and bind them, no matter if they were, dead, dying, or alive. Even the smoking bug user, his beaten and battered form was lifted and binded, yet not with a grip that aimed to harm. Though for the crow user, the man with the large blade, and the ANBU's binds were aimed to severely weaken them, if only by breaking certain bones. Ones that aided in such things as picking up and holding things, walking, etc. He didn't want them getting away now did he? Yet, despite this the two Uchiha off to his left were left unharmed, but why?

All in all, Kade felt the complete drain on his chakra reserves, yet it didn't physically show. His chakra might have been gone, but his stamina was not. And as the forest completed growing it left his clones elevated on the branches of trees to either of his sides, though down below [about 15 meters off the ground] while he himself was on the top of the tree that had grown higher than the others. Which left him 50 meters up, hidden from the view of those within the forest. His mind had been changing this entire time, he needed to focus.

Chakra: Massive [very high]
Special: Forest is spawned and is equal to the users maximum rank in Wood Dominion. Upon being formed, specific trees can be commanded to bind and form around people, to either protect them or to bind them.
Description: The user forces trees to grow on any surface, easily creating a dense forest anywhere they choose. The technique can be used to bind an opponent and alter a battlefield for their own use, effectively turning the battle immediately in their favour. After summoning the trees, the forest is left there indefinately until such a time as they're all removed. The trees are thick and aren't spread very far apart, leaving the area completely swamped in trees and brush. Anyone caught within is likely to get lost without strong tracking skills.
Domain: Mokuton. Must know Wood Dominion 'S'

Yes. I'll expect a post in the School of Hard-Knocks bright and early. Apology accepted.

[Considering my character narrates in real time my shunpo (in the previous post) is narrated to happen before you kill the kage. You posted that first you killed the kage, then you activated the explosive tag and launched your chakra blade at me. Following chronological order, I shunpo, you kill the Kage then activate the tag and use your blade. I was 18 feet in the air meaning it would take me about 1.5 seconds with the 50% speed boost to get to solid ground. I personally feel it took you longer than 1.5 seconds to kill the Kage then turn to me and ignite the seal, etc. PM me to clear things up.]

So much is happening at once it's ridiculous. First I land on the ground and shunpo only to find a jungle of trees begin to erupt from the ground. It wasn't the only thing to erupt however as the explosive tags I noticed attached the kunai burst into life. Apparently the Kage is dead because I notice the crows vanish and thick chakra blades launching directly at the position of where I landed, indicating that the sword wielder is alive and well. The blades impale a tree nearly severing it in two, but I don't take time to watch. In addition to the Wood nin, two more have entered the battle field nearby. I spot them just before trees uproot sporadically between us. I don't know for sure, but I think I spotted glowing red eyes in that little child. No time!

By utilizing that first Shunpo I have at least offered myself some breathing room as such a high speed movement would leave my opponent unsure of my location. Fortunately, a tree has birthed in between me and the sword wielder twenty feet high and five feet in width. I place my back against it to break his line of vision of me, but know I do not have much time to rest. All this foliage is going to make my life a living hell because my targets will have so much cover against my arrows. I find a clearing away from the steep precipice and utilize many high speed movements to distance myself from everyone. I need some space otherwise my bow will be rendered useless. Now 40 meters and hidden from sight, I activate the initial Chakra Gate to balance out the playing field. This is going to be a tricky one.

Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps) [5/5]

[1] Kaimon (Gate of Opening)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Nintaijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra/Stamina: Mid [per turn]
Handseals: No
Special: See subjutsu. Lasts for one turn, plus one more each time retrained. Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt regular Genjutsu 'D' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at twice (6 mps) their normal speed, to the point a normal eye will have a harder time focusing on the user, seeing the figure slightly blurry but still themselves, and a Sharingan Stage 2 would be the only one to truly see with clarity. Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields strain, but does not restrict the user's level of Taijutsu.
Description: The first stage of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon) is located in the brain, and upon activation, releases the brain's restraints, allowing full power usage of the body's muscles. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use extremely strong techniques, such as the Iron Fist's Frontal Lotus.
Domain: Hachimon.

I'll wait for a judge, but i'd like to make something clear. You've got the order wrong, you see at the peak of your jump around the chest area is where Ju expected the kunai's to land, and then explode. Since the peak of your jump was set at 6 meters (which you accepted without dispute), its safe to say that is also how high the kunai's were as well.

Meanwhile, as the woman would have been reduced to a serving of dog meat, Ju's swordless hand was free to not only have activated the grand finale, but also secured the completion of his mission.

Its clear in my post that he timed it so it exploded while you were still in the air which was the time he killed the kage, NOT letting you land, kill the kage and THEN explode the tag. Even if that hadn't been clear enough for you, you could have simply asked for clarification. Your downward double jump was legit, that much can't be disputed, but Considering tags have a universal range of 5 meter (radius), you should have caught some of the blast as its in all directions. Now 6 meters above the ground with a five meter explosion in all directions (above you) leaves about one meter of space in-between, however, your character is 5'11 which is more than enough to have been caught in the blast, especially if you're landing in some sort of standing pose.

No where two posts ago did you state you made a hand sign to effectively time the explosion on contact with me. No where. If you wanted to time out the explosion for when the kunai hit me you would've had to make the hand sign two posts ago when you originally threw the kunai, not after in your most recent post. You cannot say "Last post I made this hand sign to have the explosive note explode when it hits you". However in the most recent post you said:

With a single handed seal, a fiery monster emerged from Ju's previously thrown kunai's

but that would delay the explosion time because it was not activated until this most recent post giving me time to perform all my actions.
