GAMBLING SHOWDOWN!

[King]

Location: Both combatants are situated at the center of a massive field, surrounded by a vast and thick forest. Cutting through the center of the field is a knee-deep river, which likewise separates the two fighters. It's the middle of the afternoon and it's pretty hot.

Starting distance: 15 meters.

Spider-Man posts first.

Fight!!!

[Hermit]

I stepped forth with confidence, , an ebony mane fell deep into depths from my crown. With six arms at ready I threw mercy to my wayside, because at that moment, conversation had been deemed unhealthy. Why speak, we both knew why were had been here, to either kill or be killed. With that I wasted no time in beginning the match on my own accord. In an instant a ball if silked glory planted itself within the middle digits of my right arm. Not seconds behind had my lower right digits shot thin, steel-forged strands (5) tore into the fabrics of air 16 meters (slant+speed of kunai) behind me, latching onto the earthen floor with a mighty grip.

With keen, crimson optics I observed my opponent as he would present himself, watching his every move, waiting for him to make that one fatal mistake.

1 Tech prepped.

Kumonenkin (Spider Sticky Gold)
Rank: D, C, B A {150 exp}
Type: Supplementary / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Strength of sticky gold depends directly on the user's understanding of 'Kumonenkin'. The user can make any general projectile/secondary item available in shops. Up to 5 can be made when first learned, plus 5 more for every rank, for a maximum of 25 projectiles per use.
Description: Kumonenkin is one of the kekkei genkai’s most basic and essential supplementary ninjutsu technique. As part of their special blood, the Sasanagi have the ability to release a form of golden liquid from their mouth and sweat glands. When this liquid hits the air it can harden to be as strong as steel, allowing the clan member to be able to use this technique to then form deadly spikes or other projectile weapons.
Domain: Sasanagi.

Spider Strands
Rank: D
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: See Special
Special: The range of this jutsu is the same as that of the Kumonendo, depending again on one's mastery of the Kumonenkin.

* ‘D’ – 10 meter reach
* ‘C’ – 20 meter reach
* ‘B’ – 30 meter reach
* ‘A’ – 40 meter reach
* ‘S’ – 50 meter reach

Decription: Although the Sasanagi may spit their threads at an opponent, there are more uses to the creation than simply that. With this jutsu, the Sasanagi can create lengths of thread for any purpose, and these may also be produced via under the Sasanagi's fingernails or even toenails. Lengths of thread may be used for their sticky properties to subdue opponents, or expelled at heights to ascend quickly, the possibilities are limitless, aside from the range.
Domain: Sasanagi, D-Rank Kumonenkin

Gin wasted no time in relocating after witnessing the range of the spider man's technique. He threw his arms behind him, allowing his finger's to lace with the cold-steel shuriken he held within his pouches. Five in total at the ready. Simultaneously, he propelled himself backwards over a distance of twenty meters with a series of jumps, keeping his main focus on the Sasanagi before him.

Shuriken (Ninja Star) x5
Rank: D
Type: Secondary / Ranged
Special: 5 per Pack.
Description: A shuriken, like kunai, is one of the more basic weapons employed by ninja of all classes. They are sharpened, four-pronged metal stars, no more than a few inches long, and are extremely useful for throwing. Although small, they can be used to distract, or, if accurate enough, to kill. They have an open circle in the center, used for grabbing with a finger, to avoid cutting oneself, or to put thread through. The circle is also a benefit in aerodynamics, as it ensures more accurate trajectories.

My opponent moved, so did I. My optics remained hard upon my opponent's emplacement like a spider would its prey once it had been within plain sight. I disgorged a pile of silk which soon took the shape of an entity that had been none other then myself, a clone, a perfect replica. Devoid of hesitation my duplicate had burst forth- with a speed that was slightly less 'worshipful' then my original- towards my opponent quickly and closed the gap between them every few moments.

. Simultaneously, he propelled himself backwards over a distance of twenty meters with a series of jumps

My opponent leapt backwards with a series of jumps, however, my duplicates frontal, head-long dash at level best gaits of speed proved superior against any backwards maneuver. By the time my opponent reached his desired landing, he and the extra, were no more than 10 meters apart, a fitting range dont you think. Yet, to much surprise my extra regurgitated a duplicate of its own, and the two wasted no time in spreading outwardly (left and right) at an arc, ready to converge upon my opponents position at a moments notice.

As their legs powered through the earthen floor steel-woven threads shot forth from both of them, releasing a total of 10 threads which attempted to immobilize the target (Kunai speed). If my opponent had moved it would prove fruitless for he would be followed with the precision of a HYDRA

Domain: Sasanagi.


Spider Clone; Webx2
Rank: C
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Self
Special: Clones move slightly slower than the creator, due to them being sticky and unable to move without slight resistance from surfaces. Web clones can withstand up to one C-Rank ninjutsu, but cannot be destroyed with taijutsu.
Description: By continuing to spit out spider webbing, the Sasanagi can create replicas of themselves, which are then infused with chakra and able to act according to the user's orders. The Web clones are incredibly sticky, and should they come into contact with an opponent can easily restrain or immobilise them. They can perform any jutsu dealing with the spider thread.
Domain: Sasanagi, C-Rank Kumonenkin

Chasing Spider Strands
Rank: C
Type: Clan Ninjutsu; Supplementary
Range: Any Spider Strands in creation
Special: The range is exactly the same as the initial Spider Strands jutsu.

This jutsu only works as long as the threads are still attached to the user.

As Gin said in his post, him reaching behind his body to grab shuriken and leaping back were simultaneous. This means that they happened at the same time, thusly negating any sort've interrupt you might've been trying to do, Spider.

However, it goes without saying that a forward movement surpasses a backward movement in terms of speed. On the contrary, he can still clear multiple feet in a single jump backward.

That being said, he would've landed several moments before you clone would've reached its desired location. Everything else stands.

Before I post, I'd like to bring up that the clone would more than likely be slowed down even further because of the river splitting the area between them. Despite it not being wide, the clone itself would still have to pass THROUGH it simply because it's not plausible for a web clone to use water walking, and you didn't state it jumped at any point. So it's to assume it ran the entire way.

Also, another thing I'd like to nit-pick at because I'm feeling kind of dickish today. When you say disgorged, it means that you pretty much spewed your web somewhere, when the technique states it's a continuous thing.

"By continuing to spit out spider webbing, the Sasanagi can create replicas of themselves"

Or at least that's how it's description would make people believe.

Also, when you say that to your surprise the clone would make a duplicate of it's own. Would this also not mean that you're halfing your clones chakra and making two weaker ones? Otherwise, without chakra the web is just web he just threw up. How much chakra did you put in the first one?

Also--

"which are then infused with chakra and able to act according to the user's orders."

This sounds like your clones are controlled by you and not by their own minds, because you know, they don't really have one. So if you were to go blind, does this mean that you would be unable to use clones?

I think you have some reviewing to do, personally.
