grudge against the world [Jun]

[KEITH]

For an unknown amount of days and nights, I traveled across the world—as if I had been looking for something. I didn’t know what it was, of course, but I had known that I had to find it. No matter what it would take of me to do, no matter what expense. I had ventured far and wide across Mizu no Kuni, ever since I had left the village full of nightmares, but not before I had purged the village from this world.

The boat that carried me across the sea, from Mizu no Kuni to Kaminari no Kuni had left me to myself, without anything but my thoughts. Strangely enough, I didn’t feel fatigue, nor did I feel hungry or thirsty. . . Whatever that mad scientist guy had done to me, it would have seemed to come with a few perks. My yellowish-gold orbs had sat upon my hands, I wondered what had become of me, what was the meaning behind the experiments that was casted upon me? Also, when it came time to fight, why did he have me absorb those hearts into my being?

I seemed as if I could use them in combat, depending on which Elemental Affinity the heart had within itself. It was a shame that in the battle, the hearts that I had was destroyed. But, did it mean that I can reenact that same thing if I were to acquire more hearts? I could only tell by testing it out, and that is probably what truly brought me here. I couldn’t do it back in Mizu no Kuni, that was my homeland, where my people were.

I wouldn’t allow myself to bring any harm toward the innocent people of my country. Before I had known it, I was coming upon the shores of Kaminari no Kuni. As my eyes had sat upon the land, they had taken in all of its beauty of the mountain ranges I had seen in the distance. It was truly an amazing sight to see, if I didn’t think so myself.

Once upon land, I leaped from the boat, donning a black robe to conceal my body, my headband, and the multiple scars that could be seen upon my arms. They didn’t look grotesque or anything, but it certainly would appear to be weird to some. Leaving my boat behind, I ventured onto a long road that would lead into the mountain ranges. I wondered if I would come across any Shinobi on my stay here, anyone who would be a talented shinobi with a strong heart. “So. . . This is Kaminari no Kuni. . . .”

"He likes me. . .he likes me not. . ."

[/color]

There I was, slacking off and playing silly love games when I was supposed to be patrolling Kaminari's cliffs. Surely there weren't any foreign threats to be found today so I took it upon myself to sit idly on a large stone and pick with flowers. If I remembered correctly, the one I had in hand was a rarity. Anemone. Strands of short, jet black hair fluttered against the breeze, its embrace being somewhat cool on the skin. "He. . .likes me?"[/color] The boy I couldn't help but think about was someone I was reluctant to tell anyone about - and I wouldn't dare share his name with the wind. We'd met each other not too long ago under strange circumstances but I guess that's how I always met my closest friends. As for my homeland, Kumogakure, I'd loyally served her for what had to be something like three months now. After a long period of being a nuke-nin, it was nice to settle down and meet good people. My captain, Goldie as I often called him, was one of such people. Still, I missed my old mate Kota-san - the wood user was an ally I thought I'd stand alongside until my last breath. I missed him dearly; oftentimes I stared up at the stars wondered if he was still alive to this day.

Yet, my musing would come to an end upon noticing another soul not far down the same road. My ocean eyes locked upon him - a cloaked figure approaching with unknown intentions. He too appeared to be a shinobi, as my mind immediately went to the first nearby weapon. The tanto on my spine wouldn't mind cutting skin, though I didn't reach for it just yet. I merely remained seated, petite frame up high on the boulder with legs dangling off the edge. My expression must have read curiosity as the strange male came closer to where I was. He must have had errands of his own as he surely walked with a purpose. As the hooded persona proceeded I thought to speak but it only came off as an inaudible whisper.

"Uhm, hey. . .there."[/color]

[KEITH]

It had seemed that, like Mizu no Kuni, Kaminari no Kuni was nothing more than a gigantic island. But, it was the complete opposite of Mizu no Kuni, seeming to be like some sort of tropical island; though just because of this, I wouldn’t want to abandon my home in Kirigakure for it. I traveled along the shore, the water was only about five meters away from me, to my right, and the rest of the land was to my left. I had known that if I was going to discover what was to be upon this island, then I couldn’t just travel along the shore forever, but to me it felt safer.

Though I specialized in Hand-to-Hand combat, I also used Suiton, and I would need to be near a water source for particular jutsu. I knew that I really shouldn’t rely on it, but I couldn’t help but feel like it was some sort of safety net for me. My orbs took in the beauty that lay just beyond the shores, mountains, giant boulders, trees, large meadows, and rocky pathways. I knew that I couldn’t resist forever, so without further stalling, I ventured forth toward the mountain range, walking upon a rocky back that went between the sides of two mountains.

My eyes shifted back and forward, looking up along the sides of the cliffs and all around—I didn’t know what would be waiting for me out here. As a shinobi, I knew that I should always keep me guard and be ready for anything, especially when I’m not in my own homeland. Anything could be lurking out here, ready to claim my life, and strangely enough, I found excitement in it. Like any other weird person, death was exciting, and fighting for your very life could give you all sorts of boosts to pump you up.

As I would slowly begin to clear the mountains beside me, I would see a long roped bridge, highly damaged and ready to drop apart. At the edge of it, I would stop my own advancements, getting an eerie feeling from the area. “Upon journey’s, I suppose you face all types of trials. I should know this by now.” I would say with a sigh, removing the hood from my head to reveal my face.

[Sato Kintaro]

Kintaro had been travelling along the coast on his way to meet with the client of a mission when he had seen a hooded man moving in the distance. His first thought was to approach the man and find out just who he was and why he was travelling through Kaminari territory. While he wasn’t on patrol duty that was, for some idiotic reason was exactly, what he had decided to do. As he did so, he caught a glimpse of another figure, this one was feminine in shape and the hooded figure was drawing closer to her as she stood on the other side of the bridge.

So Kintaro moved closer to the bridge, and the masked man, who had taken his hood off revealing his face to be one unknown to Kintaro. "Oy! I hope you wouldn't mind me asking the two of you just who you are?" Kintaro said as he closed the distance between the two of them to less than fifteen meters. For the first time he got a good look at the female, and felt as if he had seen her in the village a few times before.

"For some reason I feel as if I've never seen your face in the village." He said to the black haired male, and Kintaro's words were uneasy as his knees as he stood before an individual whose strength he was completely unsure about. Why was he so nervous?

He had never been afraid while being out and about in his own country, there were border patrols that should have stopped this man before he made it this far into the countryside if he was a threat. However, for some reason Kintaro felt as though With this encounter his entire life could be ended, and he had to be prepared for it. "Do you happen to have a headband on you?" He was sure this man was a ninja, he just had no clue for what village.

[Chae]

Two soft, nearly inaudible thuds snapped into the openness of air the moment Chae stepped off his boat and onto Kaminari no kuni's soil for the first time in years. Dressed in a coating of light armour accompanied by a steel face mask that protected his face from harm, he carried a bag with him, a bag of clothes and supplies that he needed.

The ground, for the most part, maintained a moistened texture due to Kaminrai's frequent storms which only made tracking him down all the more easy. Crouching low to the earth prior to swinging the bag over his right should, his left hand reached down to the ground and ran its fingers across the outlines of a footprint.

"This has to be his, this means I've covered alot of ground that I thought in that short time. This is good, this means he can't be far. . .wish I had a drink."

Rising to a full, upright stand, Chae continued walking in tandem with keeping a close eye and following that specific pattern of footprints until he found what he'd been looking for. As he passed through the mountain ranges for several minutes, the prints seemed to have gotten significantly more frequent as well as fresher. Chae was hot on his heels and refused to stop until he located him.

Chae's eyes -peering through the slits of his mask- looked around and observed for any possible signs of hostile forces, not that he expected there to be; simply the product of an inherent paranoia that he developed over his career as a shinobi.

"Hm? Whats this?"

The results of his observational skills came to bear as a figure (Kintaro) came into plain view about 10 meters ahead. Annoyed that he blocked the man ahead of him (Yoku), Chae huffed a low sigh and just stopped moving entirely. A quick peak and glance back over his shoulder confirmed that no one managed to follow him - as far as he knew. Following up on all possible angles, Chae looked upwardly to see all that laid above him, and lo and behold, he found someone (diagonally up).

A girl who hadn't been too high up overlooking the situation at hand with the two men. If an estimate had been given to how high she'd been from Chae (and the others), it had to have been roughly 10 meters (never stated) at best. Regardless, he paid her no mind while still acknowledging her presence.

Hey Kid, leave that man alone, he's done nothing wrong, the person you should be more worried about. . .

He paused, grinning beneath his mask.

is me.

Kintaro, i noticed some confusion going on about positioning, Jun's character isn't on the ground but on an elevated platform whose height was 'to be determined', at least until i did. just wanted you to clear that up.

For right now, since no one but chae actually 'looked up' (and since he said nothing to her) Jun's character is essentially 'not there'.

After that I said nothing, but simply watched on as another shinobi revealed himself and advanced on the one in the hood. My eyebrows quirked - who would talk to themselves at the boundary of a broken bridge? The wood was useless now, as it left quite a drop. Down below I spotted water and it reminded me of how calming the craggy estate of Lightning really was. All the while the cloaked fellow lowered his hood, in turn revealing strange colored hair and a rather handsome face. He wasn't from around here, was he? I didn't have to bother striking up a conversation with the man, the other guy did that much for me. He made known his status as a ninja from Kumogakure. Alas, it was nice to see an ally around, though I'd never recalled seeing his face in the village before. Then again, I was sort of new so that was understandable. I settled for sitting cross-legged on my boulder and observed the duo with a gaze that read concern. Occasionally I shot quick glances over at the whithered bridge. Had the robed shinobi meant to cross it? Where did it lead? Sooner or later I fathomed they would involve me in their little chat, so I'd chill where I was and wait for them to come to me. Suprisingly, there weren't any sheets of ash colored clouds spread across the sky on this day - nor was it raining. Not even a drizzle. It was a quiet day.

Perhaps I'd snag some sake and get drunk tonight?

[KEITH]

With my hood removed and a heavy sigh, my sight had sat across the broken rope bridge, seeing what was just beyond it. Without knowing what was over there, I took a step forward, placing one foot onto the rope bridge. It was shaken violently from my step, as if my one foot provided enough weight for it to fall apart. Before my own advancement would continue onward, I heard a voice speaking out to me from behind, causing me to stop at that one step.

I looked back from the corner of my eye when he had asked who I was, and as he would have continued to speak, I performed an about-face. My foot switch was once upon the bridge now back on the land, and my feet a little bit below shoulder width apart. I didn’t answer him, I hadn’t needed to. I didn’t have to answer to any man in this world other than my sworn brother; any other man besides him wasn’t anything but an ant, unless they proved their worth. I was actually kind of provoked by his words, and something weird started to happen within me.

I felt the black tendrils which were implanted within me violently move throughout my arms, but I didn’t want to act alarmed by this feature. Shortly after, I noticed the arrival of another man, cladded in battle gear—thanks to my Kage Bunshin, I had known just who the man was.

He was no other than the kin of Akira’s, who had came here to help me do some work in Kaminari. Slowly, a smirk crawled upon my face, and it was indeed wicked for the shinobi of Kumogakure, giving away all of his information so quickly. Or at least it was applied in his speech, since he talked about a village in Kaminari, and asked where my headband was. I couldn’t help but wonder how this would play out for us.

Looking back at the two now, I observed the entire area behind me, and not too far up, just above where the possible Kumo-nin had stood, was another. Possibly a Kumo-nin as well, and unfortunately for her, if something did go down, we couldn’t possibly let anyone go free. “I am the fear in your heart. . .” My body was still concealed by the dark robe that I had carried, and if the boy had planned on doing something, he had better think carefully about it.

[/justify][/font]

[Sato Kintaro]

A male’s voice sounded off from behind Kintaro causing him to jump slightly as he had been caught off guard, he turned his head to look at the man, and was annoyed to see the man had a mask covering his face. ‘Great another mysterious person passing by; what are the chances the two wouldn’t know each other.’ Kintaro thought to himself as the masked man finished his sentence. ‘Why should I fear this man? He is on our territory if he tries anything he will be hunted down and executed for crimes against Kumogakure.’

Kintaro looked back at the first man before he moved to allow him to see both of them at the same time. “A friend of yours I take it? Allow me to rephrase myself before my words are misinterpreted. I am just interested to know who is passing through the territory of Kumogakure as to report to the Raikage. You know we like to keep track of these sort of things.”

He said to the two men hoping to settle down a situation before it started, but as he spoke he widened his eyes as he thought about an alternate scenario. The first male traveled with his hood up so his face wouldn't be seen by two, and he had only taken his hood off when he spotted the girl above the three of them. The second male traveled with a mask on, which meant he wanted no one to know just who he was. This wouldn’t turn out to good for him if things turned hostile, he could be sure of that.

Kintaro took a step back as he spoke. He had told Kintaro that the first male wasn’t a threat and that the one he should fear was himself. The two men knew each other apparently and the first said that he was the fear within Kintaro’s heart. “I’ve got no reason to fear you.” He said to the second one before looking to the first one. “I've also got no fear within my heart.” He said with a firm voice; however with the two men’s words he felt the fear grow in his heart. Their tone of the words, as well as their postures made Kintaro realize that they were definitely experienced at what they were doing.

[Chae]

"Hey, that's ironic right? Guy says he has no fear, but look at the expression on his face. . .

He paused, chuckling softly.

"-Its almost priceless."

Obviously speaking to Yokumaru in this case, Chae found his opportunity, his opening, as well as his invitation. The boy (Kintaro) stated and claimed that he'd have no other choice than to report and inform the Raikage of their arrival. Unfortunately, for him, neither of the men couldn't - wouldn't, let that happen. Laughing menacingly beneath his mask, his chakra started to spike as he presented his farewell words to the young lad, maybe even the girl depending on how she played her cards.

"Its time to show all of Kaminari how a real master of Raiton wields its power."

No more than a second later had Chae's chakra exploded, pushing away loose objects and dirt alike with its pressure, revealing one of the most refined Raiton techniques ever created amongst shinobi. streaks of fine lightning crackled around his body in tandem with being coated in a protective 'cloak' of chakra. With his overall reflexes, movement, and physical capabilities increased five-fold, he'd teach the boy a fine lesson in leaving others to their own business.

The distance between the boy and Chae, he couldn't actually remember, not that it mattered. Regardless, presuming that everything proceeded as planned, Chae bolted forward with undeniable speeds, speeds that could only be traceable through the eyes of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Curving around to the boy's immediate rear (within arms reach), his hand raised along with four, aligned fingers, ready to thrust them forward into his body at a moments notice.

Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release Armor)
Rank: SS
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary.
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High to cast, High to sustain.

[/b]: Namely an offensive armor, this armor is most widely known for the profound boost in speed and reflexive that it grants its user, which is easily comparable to the 5th gate. Being a manifestation of the raiton element, this armor severely hampers any raiton jutsu cast against it (to the point where even the piercing abilities of Chidori and Raikiri are nearly nullified). Beyond this, the Raiton no Yoroi can be concentrated and focused at the hands in order to produce a cutting like effect, easily capable of severing limbs. The piercing power of this specific manifestation of the armor isn't nearly as potent as chidori or its forms; however, it is enough to easily pass through low-quality armor, and as stated, flesh and bone.[/ul][/spoiler] [/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify][/font]

[Jun]

"Welp,"

[/color]

I'd seen enough. A second, masked assailant came out of nowhere - it was a safe bet that he was related to the first creep. They both looked just plain evil. Not to mention that the newcomer sprouted some new Raiton jutsu I'd never before come across. Funny, considering it was my preference in elemental nature. Something told me, perhaps from how fast he moved, that his skills with lightning were either on par or slightly above my own. In any case it wasn't worth getting involved, no matter how much I desired to lend a hand to my ally. I prayed it wasn't too late for the kid as my lacy figure crept behind the sizable boulder and raced off secretly in the opposite direction. I made sure to check over my shoulder too. There was another high cliff on this side which I promptly jumped from in order to slide safely down its sloped, however rocky surface. The chakra below my sandals kept me attached while I created a gap of 30 or so meters from the rest of the strangers. No point in getting killed over something I knew nothing about. Maybe the least I could do is report the bad news.

"I'm outta here."

Exit.

[KEITH]

A malicious grin held is place upon my mug, as I watched as the shinobi between my partner (Chae) and myself. He must’ve known what was to become of him, not even attempting to prepare himself for combat, after saying such words about reporting to the Raikage. He even went on to talk about his lack of fear, though Chae and I had both known it wasn’t anything but a lie. Left here alone, his maybe partner above not even coming to assist him, they must’ve known this was the end of the road for him.

As Chae responded to the poor shinobi’s words, I prepared for combat as well, by removing the Ankle Weights which would have slowed me down bit. Without them, I felt extremely lighter, and faster than ever. Before I could even get ready to attack, Chae had been engulfed in a cloak of lightning, this was some impressive technique to witness, but I knew that couldn’t only focus on the two before me, I had to make sure no one squeals about what was happening. So, my sight remained upon the one in the distance as well, surely when we were done with the boy, they would be next.

They had to know this basic stuff, we can’t leave any witnesses. In an instant, Chae zipped from his spot, I could barely keep up with it myself, but being a Taijutsu user, I had witnessed and participated in many high speed battles, so without the assistance of the Hachimontonku, I was able to see his lightning trail. As this would have taken place, the one in the distance, who had been watching the entire thing attempted to flee—what a fool this person had been. Instead of simply waiting for their fate, they had chosen to run, which had only angered me. With my Ankle Weights removed, my speed would probably almost be that of Chae’s in his current state, and in one fluent motion, the ten meters above us they would have been was covered in a moment’s notice.

Then rushed to her position, catching up to her about the time she would look back behind her shoulder. In that moment, all she would feel is a gust of wind, not catching me behind her, but before she could make her escape to the other cliff, I was there before her (about three meters in front of you). I would quickly rush her, moving faster than she could probably comprehend, and attempted to execute a strong kick into her abdominal. With all the force, weight and momentum I carried behind my kick, it would easily knock her back (about 3—5 meters) and leave her with some serious damage in her mid-region.

“We couldn’t let such a beautiful girl as yourself get away, now could we?” I would say in succession if my kick would land, and it most likely would due to the speed and distance between us.

Removed Ankle Weights - I had worn the Ankle Weights for three turns prior to my removal of them, so that grants me three turns of doubled speed. Currently, I am moving x4 the speed of an average shinobi, meaning x3 faster than Jun.

[Jun]

Whoosh!

Good thing I looked over my shoulder. The first guy I'd seen had vanished. I glanced back just in time to notice him flying toward me - and boy was he coming fast! Faster than fast actually, he came at me with speed akin to a shooting star. I guess I missed the part where he took off his ankle weights, but that was beside the point now, I needed to react with at least some sort of finesse. The incoming super kick I managed to barely dodge by use of a simple side-step - there was also a bit of a crouch I added to get out of the way of his leg. Had I not seen the blur of motion behind me I would have certainly been in for a world of pain. In turn, as I went for the ground my left arm arced up and jolted to life with Raiton energy that required no seals to perform. While speedy Gonzalez went shooting past me he'd likely be struck in his lower region by a bolt of lightning. It probably wouldn't hurt much but at least I'd gain more time to evacuate. Whether or not his leg would go numb or not was of little importance to me; I took the next fleeting second to flash step 10 meters diagonal in the direction I'd been headed anyways. This movement came swift, and to accompany it my right arm fumbled around behind me to grasp two bomb laced kunai, which were held side by side. For better or worse the flash step carried me off of the edge of the cliff; I plummeted down the great slope and came down facing the others, the chakra on my soles keeping me alive. It was a long, backward skid down the mountain that came next. Still, I watched like a hawk, for they were bound to pursue.

Like geez, could I get a chance?

Danpen Inazuma (Shooting Thunder)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Mid
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.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption:
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.

Note: 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.

[Sato Kintaro]

As the man spoke, Kintaro immediately realized that he had been foolish enough to pick a fight with two shinobi that outclassed him severely. As the man’s chakra spiked Kintaro looked around for anything he could replace himself with, if need be, and found it in the shape of the log that held the rickety bridge to the ground, and he shook his head as he molded his chakra and waited for the masked man to attack him. He felt the chakra from within the man explode and it encased him in an armor of lightning chakra, but what happened next was missed because he blinked. As he opened his eyes from blinking, he saw that the first and the second man were both gone, however, he could feel the chakra of the first man surging from behind him and immediately he felt his heart drop.

“So this is must be what true despair feels like.” Kintaro said as he awaited the man to strike him. “Knowing that no matter what you do, you will perish. I must say I thought I would die a hero to my village, not as a lowly genin who just got off sick leave.” Kintaro’s words were soft and filled with sadness, his eyes watering as he spoke but he refused to let any tears fall. Dying while crying was definitely not a death befitting a shinobi, and he refused to dishonor his ancestors by doing so. The replacement technique was his last chance to survive, but his thoughts were focused more on the girl who would be killed if he failed to act.

“I tell you what. You do what you will with me, but let the girl go. She’s done nothing wrong other than being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” He was a shinobi of Kumogakure until the end, and nothing would stop him from attempting to negotiate his comrade’s well being, even if she did abandon him to his death.

Prepped For: Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Replacement Technique)
Rank: E
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Handseals: No
Chakra: Low
Special: Switch is near-instantaneous. Kawarimi can only be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained. However, the technique itself can only be used once per turn, regardless of retraining. Requires the user to switch with objects that range from equal in size to as small as half their size. Cannot switch with other living people or animals.
Description: This jutsu lets the user quickly switch places with another nearby object, such as a plant (normally a section of a log) the moment an attack hits. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. The user can then use this confusion to escape or launch a counter-attack - i.e. exploding tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise.
Domain: Academy Ninjutsu.

No.

If this kunoichi thought she could do anything against my speed, she was surely mistaken. No matter what she could have thought of in the mere ten feet (three meter) distance between us, it would fail, due to the sheer speed I possessed. I had moved at the speed of the Hachimontonku’s Seimon (meaning I am moving as fast as Rock Lee when he was bypassing Shukaku’s Sand Shield), speeds that she couldn’t predict in any fashion or form, nor could she even react to them. So, with that, the hit would be clean, a direct and powerful kick to the gut of the kunoichi, and due to the force behind it, it would definitely be enough to knock her unconscious.

It would also carry an additional negative effect, due to her small frame and my massive body compared to hers, the kick would be so strong that the force would reach her spine, causing it some damage. With the kunoichi being kicked back a few meters away, I went to retrieve the unconscious kunoichi, taking her as a hostage of the situation which was occurring. With my guard still up and alert for anything out of the ordinary, I proceeded to head back to the area where I had left Chae and the other Kumo-nin; in the blink of an eye. I stood a few meters in front of the cliff/boulder that the kunoichi was once standing on; it was three meters behind me.

“How are things over here? I think it would be best if we kept on moving, you agree?” I said as I moved my right hand (carrying Jun upon my left shoulder, with my hand on her ass. xP ) into my cloak, and pulled out a steel fox mask I used to conceal my face.

Jun, there isn’t any possible way that you would have had enough to think up a plan and execute it. I am simply moving at a speed which would be too much for you to even comprehend. Also, my attack was linear; maybe if I was curving or something, you would have had a better chance at dodging. Also, you posted out of order, which is wrong. But I will do it with you to make things even. ;D

Wolfy, you cannot prep techniques within your first post, and you wouldn’t be able to see us clearly from forty meters away, especially me who is up on an elevated platform. Also, you cannot just jump into Sage mode, I am quite sure that it requires some type of prepping and concentration to do so. So you’re basically entering the thread forty meters away from the bridge, but Kintaro was just about 10 – 14 meters away from me, meaning he would be 50 or 54 meters away from you, and me farther than that, not even within your viewing range. Get real.

Kintaro, you cannot use the Body Replacement Technique with the log from the bridge. You stated that you were less than 15 meters away from me, but not how far exactly. And, I know that you wouldn’t come within a ten meter range of me, let alone five, so you wouldn’t be able to use the technique with that. Also, you didn’t seem to have moved from your spot at all, despite taking a step back, to get closer to use the log.

[Chae]

[Kintaro] “So this is must be what true despair feels like.”

As Chae skillfully positioned himself behind the young lad (Kintaro), he tried to speak, however, his words hadn't gotten very far (let alone a single syllable) as they ended abruptly and prematurely as though it never happened at all. The young lad had no time, no time at all to look around, speak, or even think what he needed to say, why? Chae moved faster than anything he could ever possibly react to.

Nevertheless, Chae's fingers, charged with the very chakra that coated his body, lunged forward towards and eventually through Kintaro's back, piercing through his chest as a result (missing the heart by a few inches). As painless and quick as his death would've been, it was no less messy & traumatic.

His body, lifeless and still warm, fell to the ground with an unpalatable thud once Chae removed his bloodied forearm from his body. Blood from the boy's arm sized hole spilled out and splattered onto the ground in tandem with Chae momentarily turning his attention towards Yokumaru who decided to 'handle' the spectator.

Grinning beneath his mask, Chae's electrically stimulated nervous system not only increased his reflex to inhuman heights, but it increased his five, general senses as well. With that, as Yokumaru inquired about Chae's status with the situation at hand, he looked up at and noticed that Yokumaru handled the young lady perched above them

"Everything is fine down here, no need to worry. What are we going to do next?"

EDIT: [Kintaro] in addition to what Circa said, even if you were near the bridge to use it as a replacement, you wouldn't even have had time to react to Chae's attack to even initiate it, PLUS when you tried to Chae hadn't even attacked you yet, so either way, it wouldn't have worked.

Raiton no Yoroi (Lightning Release Armor)
Rank: SS
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Supplementary.
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: 2x High to cast, High to sustain.

[/b]: Namely an offensive armor, this armor is most widely known for the profound boost in speed and reflexive that it grants its user, which is easily comparable to the 5th gate. Being a manifestation of the raiton element, this armor severely hampers any raiton jutsu cast against it (to the point where even the piercing abilities of Chidori and Raikiri are nearly nullified). Beyond this, the Raiton no Yoroi can be concentrated and focused at the hands in order to produce a cutting like effect, easily capable of severing limbs. The piercing power of this specific manifestation of the armor isn't nearly as potent as chidori or its forms; however, it is enough to easily pass through low-quality armor, and as stated, flesh and bone.[/spoiler]
