Battle at the Katori Shrine! [O]

[Testament]

It seemed that the young lad was prepared to go all out in order to win but his determination might have come too late to save him. His impatience would also play a role in the course of the skirmish and it was likely to aid Satsui. Due to the timing of Haru's attack, Satsui hadn't been able to come within five meters of the boy because of the slow and deliberate nature of his movement. The blast of chakra did indeed slam into his body but because of his distance from the attack's point of origin there wasn't sufficient power for the Hakke Kûshô to penetrate the vest which rested under Satsui's robes. In strength, it exceeded even the standard flak vest normally given out by the Hidden Villages and its sturdy construction served to keep Satsui's tenketsu safe from harm. He was still lifted off his feet but from a place of pure instinct both of his hands shot forward and released a small lightning bolt each. These would fly toward Haru from opposing angles at rapid speeds and if both struck it would either paralyze him momentarily or simply give him a mild shock. No great damage would be done either way but this spar might be decided if Satsui could keep whittling away at his opponent.

Satsui landed softly, the wooden floor surprisingly giving, and rolled to a stop some fifteen feet from the statue. The reality of the situation came readily enough yet his features revealed nothing about his inner thoughts. His doubts averted, the previous comparison to mice obliterated, there was now only one thing on Satsui's mind and that was which of the two Genin would emerge the victor of this battle. Had Haru not shown himself capable then the fight might have been ended as Satsui neither wished nor cared to face an inferior opponent. However, being b!%@# slapped through the air by a pre-pubescent child was not something that ever happened to him and his warrior code demanded that he increase his focus and application of might to crush this young man, . . . in the spirit of their brotherly conflict. He eyed the boy excitedly and once again began weaving his mysterious handseals.

Description: Meant more as a reactionary technique than a main avenue of offense, this jutsu allows the user to essentially shoot out small lightning bolts from a free hand to anyone within a small range. This requires no seals to conjure, and can be shot out from one’s appendage during the most heated of combat. The damage is light and the bolts shoot off in a relatively straight line, at rapid speeds.
Domain: Raiton. Karai Shin.

Haru would come out of his stupor feeling stuck in place, as if he'd been shocked by something. It'd take a few more seconds for him to gather himself, but afterward he'd take a second and think. Before coming here he'd already walked throughout Kaminari, namely to reach the item shop, but also because it'd been his first time out since arriving in Kumo. The long trek had left him somewhat exhausted, though the feeling hadn't actually bothered him until he'd been shocked, or whatever it was that’d happened upon seeing that light.

The Genin hadn't actually arrived in search of a fight as the other ninja had, and thus would decide to resign from their little spar. Not at all because he felt he couldn’t defeat the elder Shinobi; the young Hyūga just wasn’t in the same mood he’d been in earlier. He’d deactivate his Byakugan and look at the stranger, mainly as a signal that he didn’t plan on continuing. “hehe you haven't defeated me, it's just.. i don’t feel the same way about sparring i had a while ago.. uh, maybe we can finish this the next time we meet.. cya.”

Following this, he'd make his way out of the shrine, and back to Kumogakure.

Satsui stood transfixed, as if he'd become a truer statue than the one he had destroyed as he watched Haru flee. The sound of his footsteps, the stench of his cowardice, the degradation of the temple was all drowned out by the utterly horrendous cry that shattered what peace there was left and rocked the very foundations of the shrine. A flash seemed to encapsulate Satsui for an instant before exploding outward in a sphere of chakra fueled rage. His eyes became devoid of all signs of life, in that only death seemed to remain clinched tightly behind the boy's red-speckled eyes which seemed to be tiny pools of blood.

"Next time we meet- I swear I'll kill you ya white eyed bastard."

And now, you miss, will be coming with me. Surrender at once if you value your life.

Satsui slowly began to move in her direction. Without his original target the bloodlust that had been building within him was boiling over into a seething cloud of muddled beserkness. The chakra that had been flowing out of him earlier had been cut off and was flowing within his body, unseen, once more. However- his killing intent was not so hidden and it pervaded the sacred temple whilst choking out the breathable air in the room. Satsui's eyes were focused squarely on Shiori for the slightest hint of resistance.
