Hushed Whimpers [Open / PWN]

[Argon]

Miyuki

The bright sun beat down on Iwagakure with a painful wave of heat. It'd been the hottest day in months, and most the village gave conjoined groans of agony. It wasn't a good day for anyone, unless of course they enjoyed sweating. Miyuki's small frame huddled up next to concrete stairway. Almost completely hidden in the shadow of the walkway.

Her head peaking over the stairway, every little sound triggering an abnormal paranoia. "Ehh... Just not on a day like this..." She'd silently mumble to the small black tabby in her arms. She'd found the creature in alleyway a few streets down, wondering with the stray until she found a spot to hide from the sun. The sun wasn't her only worry though, she also hoped to elude her parents as long as possible.

She hadn't gone home yet at all that day, although they knew she'd gone on a mission earlier. It wasn't as if she hated her parents, but she dreaded the idea of chores. It'd been only moments earlier, that she'd pleaded with the Kage to simply send her on another. The only mission available though, sounded even worst than chores though. Apparently all the lower ranking missions had already been assigned.

Her parents didn't need to know she was in Iwagakure, and those chores could live another day undone. It was just like how this cats owner, didn't need to know it was being horded by Miyuki. Her mother was allergic to these lovable creatures. It was like some unforeseeable injustice played upon Miyuki and her mother. Although, Miyuki was sneaky, and her mother wasn't very observant. A cuddle or two never hurt the poor animal anyways.

[Haretsu]

He was in a place all too familiar, the earthen terrain that constructed his surroundings embracing him. Iwagakure had become a mockery to the shinobi world after the demeanor exhibited by Lady Coco, the previous Tsuchikage. Although during her reign, he bent to her every will, he never did like her. With him taking charge, he could fix up things the way he wanted to. Each day, came a new step.

Haretsu was slated to meet with one of his own, Miyuki. His interest of late to establish the Explosion Corps has encouraged him to meet with those who possess the abilities capable of completing the mission. He, himself, possessed Bakuton, otherwise known as the Explosion Release, which allowed him to channel chakra through the body of his victims, causing them to explode.

It was a terrific as it seemed, but only used when ambitions to push his village are high. The girl had been of the Kibaku-Nendo clan. Like him, they were able to use explosive chakra. However, the difference between them and him was that they used clay as a medium. Many liked to refer to their works as “art”, and every bit of the label was true. It was likely the last bit of any kind of art that most has to see.

Their location had been a barren wasteland looming above the village. It was composed entirely of rock, and rested flat for miles down. The clouds were long dead by this point, and the sun had its opportunity to beam down upon our flesh, numbing our skin with the warm sensation of summer. By the time he arrived, nobody was there except him. He hoped she would not take long. While patient, he expected his shinobi to arrive promptly.

“Hmm.”

A mental query while examining the area.

[Argon]

Miyuki

Feeling a relaxed drowse sweep over herself, Miyuki slowly let the lids of her eyes seal. Her arms still embracing the small warm animal. Slowly stroking the creatures head to keep it as calm as herself. It really didn't seem like many were out in this dreadful heat. In her mind it meant, she was all clear to rest away the day. Although, similar to her art, this fact was merely an illusion of the real deal.

'Miyuki~!' A voice would call out from behind the girl, she'd lost her amazing paranoia. So the less than sneaky Iwagakure shinobi, was more than enough to startle the blast shinobi. Her arms releasing the black tabby, as she'd fall over in complete surprise. A slightly yelp and cry released from the woman's sudden awakening. She was instantly put into a state of nervous worrying. "Y-yes. . ?" She'd ask slowly recovering.

'You're presence has been requested at the flats.' It was a message most likely delayed by Miyuki's lack of a common place. She had just recently been to the Kage's office though, why didn't anyone tell her there? It was trivial the reasons why she'd been left in the blue, but now she'd have to hurry and make up for lost time. "I understand." She'd state with a smile and salute, as she'd get to her feet once again.

Miyuki took off up the stairs in a hastened jog, she was happy to have something to do. Even if this little meeting turned bad, at least then she'd have a reason to mope around. She wasn't too happy with her momentary lack of socialism, even if she was about to catch a major catnap. It didn't take the girl long to master the stairs, although reaching the top required a moment to catch her breath.

Coming to a bow upon reaching the top, she'd catch her breath in those breath seconds. "Miyuki reporting." Having caught her breath, Miyuki moved back to a stand and saluted her superior. She'd wait in the alerted position, her face masked with a wide grin, as her hands went to rest on her hips.

[Haretsu]

It was as he expected, rotating his head and body around to meet face to face with his shinobi. Miyuki had arrived promptly, satisfying him greatly, but the moment was temporary. Readying himself to get down to business, he unbuttoned his robe, allowing it to descend with the wind pillowing its landing. The majority of the top half of his body was naked, aside from the area scarred from a battle long ago.

He had planned to see if she was worthy enough to be inducted within the Explosion Corps. An elite organization built to destroy, if she had the potential he was looking for, she would become a member at this very moment. However, with actions speaking louder than words, he was aiming to test her with the power he possessed. With him still getting used to Bakuton, he would not be able to use it. As Tsuchikage, this sacrifice did not matter.

Bringing his arms to his side as if to thrust, his eyes bent, and a smirk surfaced upon his face. It was the look of intimidation. He would fight her as a true shinobi would. Of course, this meant he would kill her if the opportunity provided itself. It would be wise of her to treat him the same. They were roughly five meters apart, placing her in striking distance. The moment she confirmed his decision, the match would begin.

“Miyuki. Today, We are going to find out if you have what it takes…”

A brief pause following her acknowledgement.

“To become a member of the Explosion Corps.”

He looked to both of his sides to assure nobody was around.

“This terrain is our battlefield. Are you ready?”

Her decision would decide her fate.

Miyuki

What an absurdly odd predicament, that'd falled upon Miyuki. She'd been challenged to a duel of fate, one that could potentially improve her shinobi career. The position offered sounded exactly like her field as well. She'd probably be the least seasoned, but she expected herself to be good enough. She feared for her lack of preparation though.

Slipping her hands from her waist, Kin would slip each into her clay pouch bag. Her hand quickly moving to mold the clay into the shape of a fish, as her other hand began kneeding chakra into it's mouth. "Alright, I'm ready to have a blast with you." She'd tease in an aroused tone, as she'd wink at her opponent. Giving a quick bow to show respect and address the fights real start.

She had no delusions of simply, overwhelming this fight, and so she'd focus first on range. Hopefully with her clay she'd have the advantage of range this battle. Using as much power as she could muster in her legs, Miyuki would kick off the ground, attempting to clear additional range from her opponent. A hand being drawn from her clay pouch, as she'd throw a clay fish towards the man.

After tossing the fish her hand prepared a hand sign. It appeared as though Miyuki was more than ready to make the first move. As her hidden hand prepared a bird, and the ideal resources to escape his range. Her eye focused on the man before her, as she waited for the fish to draw in closer. It could very well be that fish which decided the fate of these two combating shinobi.

The Tsuchikage looked to his both sides but he didn't look at up, the young ninja was laying on the roof, Araki tried to get sleep but the sun was very hot and then he decided to leave the place and go to his house and to laid on his soft bed and drink a cold strawberry milk. As he was leaving he glanced on around and he noticed theTsuchikage facing a short haired girl with a serious face and he decided not to leave cause he felt that something would gonna happen '' Hmmm this gonna be a interesting.'' He said it with a mocking voice. Araki didn't heard what they were talking about but he really wanted to know cause he felt that they were talking about something interesting. He sat on the roof and cross his hand together '' What will gonna happen to that girl?'' He asked himself.

[Haretsu]

Miyuki may have been from the noble Kibaku-Nendo clan of Iwagakure, but regardless of whatever powers she possessed, they were all futile when used against Haretsu, the 5th Tsuchikage. As Miyuki slipped her hands into her clay pouch, Haretsu made his first move. Gripping his sword¹, he dashed over to Miyuki, swinging upward with a vertical slash. Had she realized her clay molding took several minutes to complete, she would not be in this predicament. Even Haretsu knew this.

“Pitiful.”

With her attempt to use her clay fish failing, he only options know was to retreat. However, if Miyuki was not careful of her step, she could fall from the cliff roughly five meters behind her. The opening she provided him had been more than enough. Her inability to execute her technique properly would be fatal on the battlefield. After this match was over, he would have to educate her about her clan.

“Is this all you got?”

A scowl at her poor performance.

I'm assuming you used "Kibaku-Nendo, C1 (Exploding Clay, C1)", since that's the only Kibaku-Nendo technique you have, and since this is the case, the note of the jutsu says: "This creations take a full preparation post of “crafting,” after the hand mouth has consumed the clay. This means that the creations cannot be used in the same post that the hands eat the clay." So, you can't use your clay fish this turn, and any action involving it are voided. x:

[Argon]

Miyuki

What a fool, he'd jumped right into her clear trap. Although what type of trap was thrown in clear sight? She was pestered by the mans charge, because he saw right through her bluff. How he knew she hadn't of prepared it prior, or master enough skill to quickly meld explosion chakra was beyond her. It was said the dead Akatsuki could summon them in seconds. Although, all this room for error, and he still called out her bluff.

It disgusted her to find an opponent so obnoxious, he had quite the nerve to mock her skills. 'Pitiful', she wanted to spit in his face for those words, and that's exactly what she'd do. Miyuki would drop low, and spit up, at the man, while her free hand slashed dust and sand into the man's face. She knew she couldn't run without time to form her bird, but he'd seen through her time lapse, he'd also given her no time to prepare. It wasn't like a superior to assume so much from an inferior. She knew she was a genin, what exactly did he hope to accomplish with his words.

She'd drop and roll to the side of the man during his approach. Forcing herself to dodge and avoid any attack while slipping past. Her feet quickly kicking her up, as she bolted in the opposite direction of the man. A run of pure adrenaline, Miyuki knew she needed to get airborne soon. If she didn't the fight would only be in his favor, she wasn't very confident in her other abilities. Nothing about those things made sense in an explosion squad anyways.

Once she got airborne, then she'd have the battle in her grasp. She kept her attention as tightly on her path forward, as well as her opponent behind her. It wasn't an easy run, nor could it be the most confident, but melding her clay into shape, she'd soon have her platform. An artist couldn't think under such close claws and narrow misses. The best art takes some time to make, she couldn't let anymore clay go to waste after that poor blob used for the fish.

OOC:

SPOILER: Click to show

I know how to rp and I've read my jutsu, I'd prefer you not question my OOC motives without investigating in character. If I truly fucked up a post you can tell me over chatango, and I'll fix my post, but in my last post I did nothing wrong. I knew the fish wouldn't be able to explode, why do you think I made the fish in one hand and began consuming clay with the other hand? I wasn't going to post the jutsu until I actually used it to summon an animal of clay... Seeing as my character eating clay could be preparation for any clay jutsu. Which is again something your character shouldn't just know I have... You're using OOC knowledge in your RP, that's not cool dude. =[

[Fresco]

The explosive artist was quite bored with the day, especially due to the fact that the number of shinobi was quite lower in Iwagakure. Genjiiro wandered aimlessly, jumping from roof to roof quickly. He stopped on one roof to observe a fight, a fight between what seemed to be a female apart of his clan and the Tsuchikage. There were two many questions that needed to be answered, and just standing on a roof wasn't going to settle anything. Genjiiro began scanning the area out with his eyes, noticing one of the few promising Genin nearby, Araki.

"Yo!!! Araki, get your dumbass over here, lets do something about this."

Jumping off from the roof, the young ninja observed even closer, waiting for an ending or he would have to end it himself with his own two hands. A smile crept up on his face, happy about the thought of creating his favorable "art".

[/blockquote][/blockquote][/justify]

[Tohma☆]

The young silver haired was sitting on the roof watching the female and the Tsuchikage. The sun hit him so badly and he decided to stoop up and watch the fight standing and the short haired girl tried to do her clay thing on the Tsuchikage but the fifth Tsuchikage moved dash toward her Araki felt amazed what did he saw the Tsuchikage was very fast and strong as hell. A smile appeared on th young silver haired and he bited his lip a blood came out , he really felt something, he felt that he really want to fight the Tsuchikage to test his power he wanted it badly. He knew that Tsuchikage wasn't a easy target but there was something telling him in his mind that it was worth to fight Tsuchikage and he knew that there wouldn't be a chance like this one. As he was looking at Tsuchikage he heard some one calling his name, he looked at his right he saw Aye-Verb a young genin ninja, Araki didn't probably heard what Aye-Verb He only heard ''Come Over Here'', '' What this guy talking about?'' Araki asked himself. He perpared a hand seal in case something happen

[/size][/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Haretsu]

Miyuki may have thought her dodge was viable, but truth of the matter is that it was not. During her duck and spit act, Haretsu tilted his head to the right, allowing it to pass over his left shoulder. Continuing forward to slash, he halted right before swinging upward, clearly being a feint attack to sheath his sword. As the girl rolled, he leaped five meters back. Upon landing, he was to the left of the girl, meeting her as she sprinted.

Haretsu thrusted his left arm forward into her stomach, flinging out one of his wrist blades¹ to impale her skin. Using the speed of her sprint, she had run right into it, allowing it to sink deep into the core of her body. With her looking back to see if he was still at his previous location, she would not see it coming. Pulling her close to embrace her if she was stabbed, he would wrap his right arm around her head, and whisper into her ear.

“You can’t beat me.”

He kissed her on the cheek before letting her go, and removing his wrist blade from her stomach. His words were callous, but they had meaning. He wanted to show her how feeble her power was compared to his. To him, it was tough love. His intention was not to kill her. He would never do that to his own people. However, she needed to know her place, and he would put her in it. If this were all she had, she would ever be a part of the Bakuha Butai.

Cost: 500 Ryo per Pack

Because I moved before you looked back, and to the opposite side where you couldn't see, I doubt you'd see the wrist blade coming. Not only that, but you're running right into it without even knowing it.

[Argon]

How'd she let herself take an attack so early? Weren't Miyuki's first thoughts, 'of course he sticks me in CQC, I hate this brute form of comat.' Were the actual thoughts of the girl hardly prepared for any sense of melee. She'd yet to encounter an opponent lucky enough to get that close to her. She typically was good about avoid another person in actual warfare. Yet, she'd been given no such option, as to prepare would of required real future sight.

Defeat, it was definitely the overwhelming feeling of her present fight, but she was fighting the best of her village. She almost couldn't help, but smirk at her own demise, because even if she was losing, her victory wasn't sealed yet. He didn't need to tell her he couldn't beat her, she'd just have to keep trying to beat him and find out. So, as her wound left her still conscious, she grew the excitement of an added time limit. How long before, she'd have to be healed? OR how quickly did she need this treated?

"Hehe, how exciting, challenge accepted." She would gasp aloud, as he let her go, winking and blowing him a kiss as she fell away. She wished her body could combat his, but she didn't train or work like he did. Instead she'd slink back away, it wasn't fun to be allowed to escape, but it was good to have freedom of roam. She walked backwards in an odd manner, her back slanted to the earth, as it looked like she was merely recovering from a fall with every step. Her left hand casting a clay object quickly into the distance behind her.

While only a short time passed, she'd finally had the time to create an animal. It'd been a creation of her own imagination, she'd designed it with a snake like body, but with large wind grasping wings. It wouldn't be the fastest of creations, but it'd be faster than a human, and with it's wings more than capable to pull one with poor leverage. It formed into a large 'living mass', a good distance behind Miyuki, the snake like tail wrapping around Miyuki's gut.

SPOILER: Click to show

The beast would quickly run in the opposite direction of both it's summoner and the her opponent. It's intentions fully on dragging Miyuki out of immediate combat, as it also provided a tight grasp to keep pressure on her wound. She'd stick both her hands into her clay pouch, as she felt her body tugged away from her opponent. Escaping would only be half the battle, as she'd still need to fight this man. As she tried to think of decent art, her earlier art would put all it's effort into taking off.

This is considered the lowest level of Bakuton created constructs. Simple but deadly, this effective combat technique allows the clan member to use their clay to fashion creatures and animals capable of bearing their unique Bakuton chakra. After withdrawing a bit of clay from their pouch, the clan member will use either hand-mouth in the palms of their hands in order to consume the it, in the process infusing it with Blast chakra. The result are these small animated clay-dolls that often resemble animals and insects of nature. Best of all? Depending upon which variation is created, they will retain the abilities of the creatures they where modeled after.

Note: This creations take a full preparation post of “crafting,” after the hand mouth has consumed the clay. This means that the creations cannot be used in the same post that the hands eat the clay.

This technique allows the user to create up to five small creatures, such as a cat or bird, per blob of clay. Likewise, they can create five medium sized creatures (wolves, lions, larger birds for traveling, etc) per two blobs of clay.

It should be noted that these explosions, at a maximum, can be three meters in size.

There wasn't much he could do but stand there and continue to observe the battle from his current location, which was so close to the desolate fighting grounds they were "sparring" on. Noticing the arrival of Araki, who seemed to have heard his call. His attention returning to the spar at hand, the Tsuchikage was playing the more dominant role, which was able to satisfy Genjiiro. Who the hell wanted a Kage who was all talk? Not anyone normal.

Hopefully, Araki understood the game plan. It was boring watching the Kage defeat a female Genin who seemed to be apart his clan, yet she lacked that little "Boom" everyone had in the clan. Instead of suddenly attacking now, he placed one of his hands into to the pouch on his side. The mouth in his hand began consuming the clay¹ within the small pouch inside. It would take time for the clay to be completely prepared and utilized, taking a couple of moments before he could attack. Turning to face Araki, he would wink at him, a signal for him to begin there assault upon the Tsuchikage.

Hopefully Araki understood the signal and would attack.

This battle is getting serious every minute , the young silver haired boy was watching every moment he didn't to miss a moment, he was focusing all his attention to the Tsuchikage he wanted to learn his movement to get an advantage when he is fighting. Tsuchikage moved his sword at the short girl and stabbed at her stomach as if that she wasn't one of his rock village shinobi, Araki felt mad his asked himself why the Tsuchikage did that to her but The young silver haired boy saw the Tsuchikage kissed the short girl on her cheek Araki misjudged the Tsuchikage. All in all the Tsuchikage turned to be a nice guy that loves his shinobi ninjas. Araki thought that the girl was dead but it appears that she didn't die at , she even used her clay to make a bird to escape.

The young silver haired glance around to see where was his friend Genjiiro, Genjiiro was couples of meters wasy from Araki and Genjiiro winked at the young sillver haired boy first Araki didn't understand the single but later he understood it the single was to attack the Tsuchikage now. The young silver haired boy rose his hand and performed 6 handseals in 3sec , a lighting aura from the sky surrounded him and his boby started to glow and he felt a strength, he used (Lightning Strike Armor).

Raigeki no Yoroi (Lightning Strike Armor)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive; Supplementary
Handseals: 6
Chakra Consumption: High to cast, mid to sustain

A defensive technique, the Yoroi technique is as its name implies – a set of lightning based armor, which shocks anything that comes in contact with it. After a series of handseals, lightning from the sky showers upon the user, coating them in a bright blue coating. As they glow, all forms of conductors will make victim’s more susceptible to damage, and any taijutsu upon the armor will leave the user’s appendages feeling paralyzed. Excellent when outnumbered, or simply facing an opponent that favors taijutsu.

Note: Under the effects of Raiton no Yoroi the user has an increased speed as well as strength made even stronger by the piercing capabilities of the lightning itself surrounding the user.
