protect yo base [pwn]

[sachi]

I sat in a small, quiet inn. It was near closing time so it was empty aside from myself and the bartender. I sat in the back near a small fire that was providing comforting heat, looking out the window about a meter or so ahead of me, which also had me facing the door. There wasn't much activity outside, aside from the constant snowfall. It was was boring, so there I'd sit, tapping my foot against the wooden walls - where was all the excitement when I'd finally gotten some time away from my guards?

¹The ironclad samurai, known throughout the Tetsu no Kuni as the “Tetsu Oni”, stepped onward, raising his left arm, and placing his left hand forward, fingers spread, to nudge the door with all of them, allowing it to open itself as he entered the small (fifteen meter) quiet inn. His entrance had kind of a western style, which was quite ironic given his status. Kansei was somebody who strictly followed the Bushidō code but, from time-to-time, kill shinobi who tread along the roads at night. It did not bother him, given their way, and it was something he did not mind doing to his own if they betrayed him. He remained ready for everything, analyzing the room and everybody in it as he continued onward toward where the bar had been.

²Kansei’s footsteps were gradually and silent as he walked across the thick brown wood floor, but since the only two people within the inn were facing the door, they would be aware of his presence. It was not threatening, but he did not trust either of them. If they moved suspiciously, he would not hesitate to kill them. In fact, his right hand had already gripping the Nodachi strapped vertically to his back. Kansei halted at the edge of the door, one meter away from the man. The bartender did not seem to be a threat, given his conclusion of first impression. Although the man could not see him, Kansei was staring deep into his eyes with a killer intent. Hopefully, they could enjoy a drink together. If not, well, their swords would have to decide the outcome of their encounter.

³A grimace followed his hawkish gaze; Kansei continued to approach the other two individuals, right hand still clenching his blade. “I’m Kansei, nice to meet you two,” a slight amount of introductory words for his company, the man and the woman. He meant no harm, and was a kindhearted man. All he came to the bar for was a pint of sake. Every day, he travels from country to country, and village to village, maintaining peace between the shinobi who seem to admire destruction. He needed to break himself away from it all. He was a vassal, and did the bidding of his master, Akio Akira, the Jinchūriki of Sanbi. About half a meter away, Kansei halted, waiting for a response.

I was one meter already from the window, which puts me further from the door. We're at least a couple meters apart if you want to have me be so close to the door.

Finally somebody had shown up, my evening was getting awfully boring - I mean, I'd managed to lose my guards and had snuck away to an inn to have a drink of sake, what would be the sense in all that if I didn't at least have fun? My eyes caught sight of somebody approaching through the window, geared up in Samurai armour - and for whatever reason, their hand on their weapon. This of course put me on guard, my left hand sliding down to grip the hilt of my blade, although obscured from view due to the sleeves of my kimono,

Looking for trouble?

The thought coursed through my mind, I mean of course you got the occasional Samurai that was always out looking for a fight, but walking around with your weapon at the ready was something else entirely.

My eyes remained focused on the man as he entered - his hand still not leaving his weapon - my right hand fidgeting with the recently filled glass of sake in my grasp, idly splashing the liquid side to side. I turned slightly in my chair, putting the left side of my back towards the wall of the inn and myself diagonally facing the man, a plain expression worn on my face. It wasn't until he approached me with his hand on his weapon that I'd react, I mean, I was without my guards and a rather valuable target to the right person, there was never such thing as "too careful" in my books.

"Hi there."

I lifted my glass off the table and kicked my right foot out to my side, hitting the leg of large wooden table and sending it sliding towards the stranger, effectively putting it between us and maintaining the distance already established. I crossed my legs, toes tapping against the underside of the table. I could almost feel the chakra surging through my body and blade. Was this what it felt like when you were anticipating something bad? Or maybe it was just the fact he was making me uneasy with his hand on his weapon - whatever it was, my guard was most definitely up, and I wasn't about to let a man with his sword ready to get so close to me,

"Can I help you, friend?"

My tone was one of annoyance. I didn't know who he was, or who he thought he was, but I most definitely didn't like such a hostile looking man trying to get so close to me. I had been taught better than that.

i'll be skipping you soon if you don't post.

And here I wanted to converse. It wasn’t often that

something like this occurred where I get to meet the son of the Shogun, let
alone combat with him. I’d take it as a challenge for now, but would refuse to
release my grip from my sword. With the man kicking a table in between them, he
had successfully managed to block our path. Still, that wouldn’t be enough to
protect him. Like him, chakra was also surging through my body. Most samurai,
especially of his caliber, had something to show for it, but I carried secrets,
as well. I stood firm and ready to move, waiting for them man to continue his
hasty movements.

"If you have nothing to say for yourself, perhaps you should remove yourself from my presence. . ."

I spoke with annoyance as I placed my drink between my legs, keen eyes never leaving the stranger, the tightening of my grip on my sword concealed by my kimono. I didn't know who he was or what he wanted, but I wasn't going to stand for some armed and silent character getting this close to me for much longer.

[Rui]

The man was a great fisher, but his bait wasn’t worms. The

fact he was waiting for me to attack was obvious. Nowhere on his person could I
see a weapon, but by analyze his minute details, the fidgets he gave beneath
his sleeves gave me awareness of his tool. If this is what the upper echelon
had to provide, I would pass on taking the rank. I was silent for a reason. It
was my type that killed enemies quickly. It would be best if he took lessons
from the fourth word in this sentence. Maybe I could show him a thing or two.

⁰Ronin-Satsugai no Fuin (Seal of the Bladed Warrior)
Rank: S
Type: Supplementary / Juuinjutsu (Seals & Barriers)
Range: -
Handseals: No
Chakra: --
Special:
Essentially doubles the Samurai's chakra capacity when activated by
opening their chakra pathways, in a somewhat similar way to
Hachimontonkou (although less barbaric). However, because of this, it
prevents Samurai from molding chakra finely in terms of jutsu, making
handseals and whatnot useless due to the sudden chakra rush. Upon being
accepted as a Samurai, this seal is place on the user. Cannot be bought
and instead must be RP'ed out as part of the Samurai's initiation.
Description:
The Seal of the Bladed Warrior was the Samurai founder's secret to
attaining a new level of power. Knowledge borrowed from their
neighboring chakra experts, Whirlpool, the Samurai Clan developed a seal
that would ensure the self-preservation of all Samurai, as well as
their place in new history. By binding an advanced seal at the core of
their chakra network directly after birth, the Samurai essentially
created a steady, sustained flow of pure, raw chakra. Constantly feeding
outwards and unable to be turned off, this sudden increase in their
chakra output allows them to remain on par with their shinobi
counterparts by producing a combination of raw, powerful attacks with
their traditional Bushido, at the cost of being unable to create seals
and mold chakra properly due to the pressure of the surging energy. The
seal itself is a combination of ancient kanji and other shapes, and is
usually placed on the chest.
Domain: Samurai.^2

"Right, well I've had about enough of that, Kansei"

My right hand rose with my drink quickly at a diagonal angle, my hand only reaching a foot from my stomach. With a quick throw my cup had been sent flying towards his upper chest, not really an attack, but an obvious sign of disrespect. It wasn't exactly threatening, but there would definitely be some glass and alcohol flying towards his face - eyes included - if he decided he wasn't going to move. One way or another he was going to get out of my personal space.

[Rui]

The man was great at parlor tricks, but he wasn’t much of a

barber. I could probably cut his hair better than he could mine. Throwing
glasses with liquor? What a bitch. I stepped slightly to my right side, before
stepping back to my previous spot, remaining stationary. Avoiding something like that didn’t even require a blink. If
this is what nobility tasted like, I’d rather put my face in a toilet. It was
equivalent to this scenario. Again, my chakra, immediately after the first
dodge, began churning to counter another one of his moves. He still had much to
learn.

"You don't talk much, do you?!"

How annoying, he wouldn't talk or even react - well, save from a familiar kendo move, which begs the question, why was that even necessary? Yellow eyes never left my target, the only reason I hadn't attacked him by now being that he was a Samurai, and I was always particularly patient with my own kind. . . however, it was quickly running out. I was just about fed up with him looking at me the way he was, so bravely holding onto his weapon. He looked like he was the type of guy to make shitty comparisons all the time too.

"Will you please just fuck off already?"

My right foot would kick the table yet again, although this time much harder as my legs came uncrossed. The large piece of wooden furniture would be sent flying for his legs, and due to his proximity to me and the fact that it was a big table, a simple kendo sidestep wasn't going to work in this situation. Again, while this wasn't exactly an attack either, it was moreso to gauge his reaction - I mean, either he found some nifty way to evade, or he let the table slam into his knees, likely knocking him backwards, but at the very least shaking his balance.

Could he be any more bothersome?

[Rui]

And now the boy was kicking around furniture like a little

girl. A novice act to say the least. I would have to take him back to the academy.
But first, the sliding chess piece on their board. Mimicking his actions, but
with my free arm, I used my hand to halt the table. With its sudden stop came a
drop. Perhaps if I severed the table, the person would decide to strike. I gave
him the opening he wanted. My eyes were still locked to the sly fox, waiting
for his next trickery scheme. If only he could see my smile.

All it took was the sight of him trying to unsheathe that rather large sword from his back for me to kick into action, dashing forward in the blink of an eye. There was a reason Samurai used katana equipped at the hips, and that reason was speed. If he thought he could pull out a two handed swored vertically from his back before I could unsheathe and attack before, he was sorely mistaken. He was already only a matter of feet ahead of me, all I had to do was unsheathe, step and swing at once with a powerful, precise movement - my sword aimed to carve diagonally across the chest piece of his armour from left to right. The fact of the matter was, I had a very large advantage here in both speed and position, him getting hit seemed inevitable. It seemed like a simple attack, but I was always thinking two steps ahead, I would display my expertise in swordplay if it were required of me.



Idiot.



I stood with my feet angled diagonally ready to move at a moment's notice, being sure to have my legs positioned to stop the table if I absolutely had to. Was he prepared for what was to come?

Cunning Mind [25]
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Passive
Handseals: --
Chakra Consumption: Mid per use
This technique allows a kendo master to purge all of their experience into a surreal body movement. This movement allows them to analyze their opponents completely within the users range by studying others and the user tensing their bodies for sudden movements. 

Notes: This is fully dependent on role-play movement but just gives the ability to perceive attacks, but not predict. Simply put, this is nothing more than a greater clarity during battle than most shinobi; it will simply offer the user a marginal edge, dependent on the execution of the role-play in question.


Dorokendageki (Draw and Strike) [25]
Rank:D
Range:Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type:Offensive 
Handseals: -- 
Chakra Consumption: Low
The battojutsu practitioner subjugates their dominant hand with chakra. This allows the practitioner to commence their attack from any position, this particular technique allows the practitioner to first draw with increased speed, then thrust or slashe with the blade so fast that the effects of the hit are after the user sheathes.

[Rui]

Sike. Gotcha. Again, seeing through my opponent, I knew he

would react to me swinging my sword. But was exactly what I was waiting for. If
he thought that his strike was any faster than mine, he was wrong. You see, my
attack was simply a feint. Before I could even reach the top of the table, I
had redirected the trajectory of my blade to block the boy’s own. It was a
simply deflect that motioned with my free hand releasing my grip from the table
with a nudge. My aim was to slide it at him, and possibly cause him to trip.

²Gekitotsu (Clash Crash)
Rank: D
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: -
Chakra Consumption: Low


The user charges their weapon before intentionally striking their
opponents blade, using the sudden increase in weight to redirect the
force of blocking/parrying maneuvers and cause a target to damage
themselves with their own weapon. The purpose of this technique is quite
literally to overpower an opponent into harming themselves, and can
only be used to that end, meaning simple deflection in a direction that
would not result in the opponents blade coming in contact with their own
body cannot be achieved.

[sachi]

Well, aside from the fact that I would have attacked before he could even get his weapon out, he tried to have it there already, even though I was drawing a smaller blade from the hip with a speed-enhancing technique. Regardless of whether he would or would not get his sword out didn't matter, because he was already done for and he didn't even know it. Whether I made contact with his armour or his blade, he was done.

You see, my attack was simply a feint. Before I could even reach the top of the table, I had redirected the trajectory of my blade to block the boy’s own.

The very instant I would make contact, an explosion of considerable force would emerge from my blade, focusing its energy entirely on my opponent, and there was nothing he could do about it. Sword or not, armour or not, he was right face-to-face with me, and that much concussive force point-blank would rattle, shatter and fragment his bones in the effected area - not to mention completely battering and damaging any organs in the area. To put it simply, this technique would render him useless and on the brink of death, all because he couldn't just fuck off.

"Sorry, Kansei."

Bakushin (Weapon Explosion) [300]
Rank: S
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: - 
Chakra Consumption: High
The final step behind mastering the art of Chakra Form Manipulation involves reversing the flow paths of the absorption at such rapid rates that a sudden release of energy over the imminent build-up comes forth. This means that any chakra creation the Samurai makes, whether it comes in projectile form or extended from the user's blade, will explode on contact away from the Samurai and completely on their chosen target.

Note: The intensity of the explosion, originating from the user’s blade, is equivalent to that of several (4) explosive notes. The size of the explosion is roughly three meters is a conical fashion wherever the blade of the user’s sword is pointed.

This technique can only be used with a physical weapon (non chakra created). Likewise, this ability takes a full post to charge, in which no other techniques can be used. However, after this ability has been charged, the user may continue to battle and detonate the blade whenever he\she feels like it.

[Rui]

As I swung my blade to counter his, I had mistaken what he

was truly about to use, and that was something not even Kendo could perceive.
Looking down at his blade, I could see the energy emanating around it as he
released its chakra toward my direction. It exploded, causing an explosion
quadruple of a normal explosive note. Just like that, everything went dark.
With the shadows came my plunge into the void.
