[CE4] Ranshi v. Kasumi

[King]

The arena is roughly you enter is fairly staple, identical to the arena used in the series during the Chuunin Exams. The stadium is open air with a dirt floor interior, riddled all about with random patches grass. Standard trees, no taller than five meters, sporadically line the walls (which are easily 100 meters tall), though most of this vegetation is shrubs and bushes. From one side of the stadium to the other is 75 meters. Ranshi posts first.

Handicap: While your goal is to eventually render your enemy incapable of being able to continue with the battle, there is another issue that players must deal with.

Each player has a living statue that will follow no more than one meter behind them at all times. When you jump to another location, so will it; it will essentially mirror your movements (in respect to traveling only). If this statue is destroyed at any time in the battle, you automatically forfeit the match.

'Its been awhile.' I thought to myself as I found myself in the village konohagakure, it had been quite some time since I've visted my hometown. I knew that I couldn't expect anyone to remember exactly who I was, it wasn't something that bothered me at the least bit. My only hope was that my mother had been in the stands, though I knew she had no idea that I was here.. a slight smile would cross my face as my eyes set on my foe along with the statue that was behind him, 'heres my chance.' I thought to myself as the sound of the crowd was starting to become more and more restless.

"Good luck."

Id say under my breath as I quickly dug into my bag and from it I pulled a kunai with a label wrapped on its grip, I quickly placed the kunai in my mouth bitting down on its handle. Now as I awaited the signal for the match to start my eyes remained locked on my opposition, I wasn't sure of what he was capable of so I knew I wanted to stay on my toes.

ENTER~

It was finally time. After countless missions and many hours of intense training, the Chuunin Exams were upon her. Kasumi Sansei stood in a rather large stadium in a strange and foreign land, unaware of any familiar faces in the crowds, if there were any. She hadn't the time to look, and as things seemed to be ready to begin, she wouldn't risk it. She had her statue to worry about, as well as the seemingly identical one that stood behind her opponent. Focus was not something that she could afford to split. Still, she hoped that at least Ujiyasu had been able to attend as he had told her he would. Her stomach was abuzz with nerves, but knowing that she had his support helped to quell them.

"Good luck," she'd call across to the boy on the opposite side of the stadium. Though he looked much larger than her, she didn't think he could be any older than she was, and that gave her hope. The fear that she would be pitted against someone out of her league was very real, but his appearance allowed it to stay somewhat dormant. That isn't to say her guard would drop, however. One of a ninja's greatest assets was deception, and surprise went hand in hand with it. With her feet planted firmly on the ground in front of her statue, she waited for her opponent to make the first move.

'Gametime.' I thought to myself as they had giving the signal for the match to start, on que as the signal was giving my chakra would begin to funnel to my eyes. A crimson tent would quickly coat my eyes as I rushed towards the girl, 'phase 1.' I thought to my self as quickly began to cut the short distance between us down, it hadn't been more than 15 meters in the first place. My eyes would be locked on the girl as I moved forward, I would be tracking her everymove as I moved forward.

My right hand would quickly grab the kunai that had been between my teeth shortly after I started my pursuit, as I closed the ditance between us my statue followed step for step behind me.. I would quickly fire off the kunai with the girls chest being my target, now if she elected to avoid it was up to her. My eyes remained locked on the girl ready to react on cue, my hands would quickly come together to preform a couple seals.

It all began so quickly, but Kasumi was more than able to keep up with the pace. As her opponent began running forward, she stood her ground with confidence, ready to react to whatever he decided to do. As he took the kunai from his mouth and made to throw it at her, a deft hand immediately plucked a single shuriken from her item pouch and threw it at the kunai to intercept it before it could come close to her. With his movement seemingly continuing forward, Kasumi began to weave her own seals as she jogged forward, covering about three meters as the Chakra flooded into her lungs. Her seals were done in almost no time, and with a deep breath, her jutsu began.

On her exhale, an expansive wall of flame was quickly produced, and over a brief period of time was able to build to its full size of 10 meters wide x 10 meters high. The flames flooded forward at an impressive pace, burning everything in their reach as they spread. With the movements that both of the shinobi had made forward, it was doubtful that her opponent would be out of range, given her technique could travel quite a distance away from her person (10m+). It was also very likely that the two metal weapons that they had thrown would perish beneath the intensity of her flame, irretrievable. Though she was known to be somewhat aggressive in various areas of her life, even this opening move might be seen as surprising. However, given the opportunity, she had had to take it.

Tier One - Ashes to Ashes: It is said that a Katon user's flame rivals that of the sun, and can burn through almost anything. And while this might be a stark dramatization, the chakra infused heat does pose a far greater threat than most typical fire. Katon users of this level are capable of using their flames to easily melt steel, and all defensive jutsu of c-rank and below.

Gouka Mekkyaku (Great Fire Annihilation) EXP; 300
Rank: S
Range: Mid (5m ~ 10m), Far (10m+)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 4
Chakra Consumption: x2 High

Gouka Mekkyaku is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. After forming the necessary handseals, chakra kneaded inside the body is converted into fire, and then expelled from the mouth in a massive wall of intense flames which covers an expansive range, making it extremely difficult to avoid.

Note: The wall of fire can be forced out for one entire turn, and spans nearly 10 meters wide and 10 meters high. This inferno of intense flames is more than capable of burning nearly anything or anyone before it.

This requires at least one mastery in Katon.

'Mistakes' i thought to myself as the girl had elected not to evade the kunai, or even move for that matter instead she chose to remain stationary while she reached into her bag pulling her own weapon. By the time she had hurled her shuriken towards my kunai the space between us couldn't have been more than five meters, I wasn't too sure what she was thinking but it didn't matter at this point. Because as she began to progress forward and wave her seals I had already been waving my seals, which allowed me to finish up before she did..

'Perfect.' I thought to myself as the girl began to progress forward cutting the distance down even more. I would halt my movements as seemingly out of nowhere four drills of water would appear around me, two to the left and the other two to the right. As the girl progressed forward while she finished off her seals my drills comprised of pure water would have already begun to rush towards her position, each of my drills were targeting different parts of her body one for her head(more specifically her mouth), two for her torso and the last for legs. If she hadn't elected to move out of the way my attack it would hit her with extream drilling force, as she attempted to expel her stream of fire.

My hands would begin to move through another set of seals, as if my attack hadn't worked. My chakra would begin to bubble once more, as a dome made up of a bubble would begin to form around me.

Fire was quickly met with water, and due to the differences in rank and the clashing of their elements, a large cloud of steam was produced between the two shinobi, neither jutsu winning out over the other. With the steam providing a decent amount of cover and obscuring her vision of her target, Kasumi quickly shunshined 10 meters to the right and then jumped back an additional several meters to allow herself and her statue some space (about 18ish meters apart).

She quickly formed a hand seal and activated her Mind's Eye of the Kagura technique and sought her opponent out with it. Detecting his Chakra Signature, it seemed that he hadn't yet moved (since you used the Bubble Dome), so with a further bit of prying, she took a moment to determine his Chakra types so as to avoid future surprise.

'There's the Water... And it looks like he's capable of Genjutsu as well,' she thought to herself. 'I'll need to be careful.' These thoughts and conclusions ran through her head in a matter of moments, and as she had been making them, so too had she been weaving a string of hand seals, prepping several (3) and building up her Chakra to perform a jutsu.

SPOILER: Click to show

Since you had quickly grabbed the kunai when you ran and quickly threw it, and I immediately reacted, I don't think there would have been a realistic closure of 10 meters, even though there was no number until after. I'm still learning how to do this so maybe that's not how it works and I'm in the wrong, and if so then that's on me.

But yea, with that^ said, I think there'd be enough space for me to perform my technique and meet yours, since there'd be a little more distance between us and you'd only need one less seal for your technique then I would for mine, and I didn't start mine that far behind yours. Like I said though, I'm still trying to learn by doing so if I'm wrong, then I'm wrong haha And no worries, I can just look them up if I don't know them.

Kagura Shingan (Kagura Mind’s Eye) EXP; 300 x1 Mid
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10), Far (10m+)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 1
Chakra Consumption: Low – 2x Mid; Low to sustain

Kagura Shingan is an advanced Sensory Ninjutsu technique used by all sensors, and serves as the root to the entire sensory tree. After performing the necessary handseal, the sensor closes their eyes and uses their innate ability to detect chakra in order to determine the location of their opponent by the faintest of chakra trails, as well as discerning the size of an approaching unseen force, and even their chakra capacity.

This sensory technique can also discern whether or not a person is under the effects of a Genjutsu; which elements they have at their command (even advanced releases), and likewise mask their own chakra signature (user’s) from other sensory ninja. The focus required to do the latter (masking their signature) prohibits their other sensing abilities, however.

Note: For a Low increment of chakra, the user can detect all chakra signatures within twenty meters of their person. For a mid worth of chakra, they can sense all chakra signatures within thirty meters; for 2x Mid, they can extend their range up to a maximum of fifty meters.

As I expected my attack was able to effectively halt the girls attack, though I didn't get the exact result I wanted the turnout was still good. Because my attack was fired off before hers there collision would have been a bit closer to her, so in return the steam that had been created from our attacks would have had some type repercussion for the girl in terms of slight burns that wouldn't hinder her too much. luckily I had planned ahead to counter the heat from the steam allowing the bubble dome to cover me momentarily as the steam covered the area. 'Shit.' I thought to myself for only a moment as the fog had quickly begun to disperse itself throughout the area. It wasn't anything I couldn't handle, but consequently the steam had caused me to lose track of the girls position for the moment. 'No worries.' I thought to myself as my hand quickly formed one seal, with that one seal and the steam that covered the area I allowed my self somewhat of a trump card.

With the deactivation of the bubble technique I would quickly begin to back peddle out of the fog with my senses at there peak, my statue would be mirroring my every while remaining behind me while my hands danced through another set of hand seals. I couldn't exactly keep locate the girl for the time being so all I could do is prepare for the worse, I would continue to back peddle until I was out of the fog which was about 10 meters.
