[CE4, Round 2] Chae v. Tenshi

[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. Tenshi 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.

It should be noted that all chakra\item loss from the previous round transfers over.

[tenshi]

Once more, Tenshi stepped through the archway leading intothe arena where he would once again find himself fighting to advance to thenext round. Only one more round separated him from the finals and althoughTenshi was completely aware of that fact he instead focused on this match. Thefirst round would have most definitely weeded out the faint of heart. Thisround would offer much more worthy adversaries, not to mention Tenshi hadn’t hadthe time to fully recover his chakra from the last match. Nevertheless, hefully intended to secure his self a spot in the finals. Only one more hurdle,one more challenger until all eyes would be upon him. They would watch each andevery move, notice each and every detail.

The arena had remained the same as it had before, virtuallyan open area with small shrubs and trees lining the walls. And as before Tesnhi’stagalong was still copying his every move. He gave a glance back at the stone statuewith obvious irritation and dissatisfaction. He and his shadow would progressforward into the heart of the arena. He would stop in a familiar worn patchwhere other previous contenders had all stood. Here he would wait for his nextchallenger to take their spot across from him. Only one more round separated thesetwo contenders from a shot at the finals.

[Chae]

Stepping into the arena, Chae looked up to the sideline platforms, hoping to somehow spot Anko just as he did during the previous round, satisfied and content with her supportive presence. Nevertheless, dressed with his iconic steel face mask, and standard armour , he stood roughly 15 meters from where his opponent entered and positioned himself.

The scene was 'plain' so to speak, just like before, still nothing more than concrete with patches of grass with small trees here and there along with an occasional bush, nothing that would've kept Chae from demolishing his opponent considering an open field -for the most part- separated the combatants .His living statue trailed behind him by a single meter and remained there for the entirety of the fight, protected by Zeus himself. Eager and ready for battle, Chae refused to allow his opponent to make the first move, so instead, he bolted forward. Presuming his path of travel would've been successful, he'd have reduced that distance to a meager 5, leaving his senses wide open and his body poised to attack with a simple raise of his hand - fingers aligned with the mans chest.

[tenshi]

(OOC: Sorry this looks absolutely awful...I really do not understand v5. At least its legible.)

His opponent wasted no time, his lust for battle was quicly
made apparent as soon as his first move was set in motion. His intent was
obvious as his legs pushed him straight forward towards Tenshi in a head on
sprint. Tenshi took notice the moment his adversaries body had begun to tense
and lung forward. Instantly, his hands weaved through a quick set of hand seals.
The first five meters or so would have been covered leaving the two only ten
meters apart when a blinding flash would erupt from the young genin’s body.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

More than likely, the charging genin’s attention would have
been focused upon Tenshi and the seals he strung together. It would have been
unnaturally unlikely for his trained eyes to leave the boy even for a moment
and thus the technique should have been all the more effective. However,
without wasting time to admire his handiwork Tenshi began to move diagonally to
his right (Chae’s left) while throwing together another set of hand seals as
fast as he could manage. As the seals would come to an end lightning would rip
forth from the sky coating the boy’s body in a bright blue armor. The distance
would now be less than five meters with Tenshi lined up diagonally facing his
opponent. The increased speed of the technique would propel Tenshi forward at
even faster speeds towards his should be dazed opponent. The lightning coated fingers of his
right hand would be tightly pressed together while held straight and true as they
were thrust forward towards the side of the boy’s exposed neck just below his mask with
lethal intent.

Chakra Total: 1 Massive 2 High
Chakra Expended: 3 High 2 Low (Undetermined amount from Mekurumeku. Apparently v5 ate the chakra consumption...go figure.)

Mekurumeku (Blind Flash)
Rank: C
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m), Mid (5m ~ 10m)
Type: Supplementary
Handseals: 5
Chakra Consumption:
A basic yet effective Raiton technique, the user focuses a bit of chakra all over their body, letting the lightning gather and then quickly exploding, effectively providing a blinding light that leaves all within the range blind. Useful for disorientation and quick get-aways.



Raigeki no Yoroi (Lightning Strike Armor)

[/u][/span]
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Defensive; Supplementary
Handseals: 6
Chakra Consumption: High to cast, mid to sustain

[/b] 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.[/ul]

[Chae]

Presuming his path of travel would've been successful, he'd have reduced that distance to a meager 5, leaving his senses wide open and his body poised to attack with a simple raise of his hand - fingers aligned with the mans chest.

Chae would've merely continued with his sprint, however, the actions of his opponent (which weren't as fast as he thought) prevented such a thing from ever happening. Although his body hadn't been tuned like that of a Taijutsu specialist, it went without saying that he could easily cover five, solid meters well before his opponent completed his seals (especially considering it'd have taken several seconds and that Chae made the initial movement). Nevertheless, by the time the third seal had been made, Chae's arm had already been poised for attack, as were his fingers. As a result, a quick dip in his wellspring of power caused small 'bolts' of lightning to project from the tips of each finger, all of which were aimed at his opponents merged hands.

Each shot lagged about a second behind the other, leaving Chae room to adjust should he have moved. Regardless, considering what little distance (10m) and the fact that Chae hadn't stopped,it would've taken no time at all for the bolts to zoom across the open space and strike his opponent with enough stun power to prevent the completion of the seals. Admittedly, the timing had been tight, however, it'd been undoubtedly possible.

Techniques Used:

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.

[tenshi]

(OOC: I can post right now if I need to, however, I PMed Genbu to clarify something ~one hour after you posted last night. I am currently waiting for him to respond, so for now I'll leave this as a place holder so I'm not DQed.)

[tenshi]

Tenshi took notice the moment his adversaries body had begun
to tense

and lung forward. Instantly, his hands weaved through a quick set of hand
seals.

The first five meters or so would have been covered leaving the two only ten

meters apart when a blinding flash would erupt from the young genin’s body.

<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

For some reason, Tenshi’s foe had expected him to wait until
he had closed the distance to five meters before he would begin his seals. In
fact, Tenshi had sufficient time to perform his quick set of hand seals as he
had actually begun to form them as his opponent began his charge. Once the
first five meters had been breached leaving only ten remaining the chakra
prompted light would erupt from Tenshi’s body blinding his foe.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Seeing as how his opponent had continued his head on charge
directly into the blinding light, Tenshi would make a quick and precise change
in plans. Things were going better than expected which rarely happened within
the realm of a ninja. Thus, Tenshi wasted no time in securing his advantage.
Instead of wasting time on a longer set of seals he would instead perform only
three as he simultaneously ran diagonally to his right closing the distance to
five meters. Bright blue electricity surged over Tenshi’s right hand as it
became infinitely more lethal. With one final lunge to close the distance, his
hand would swipe towards the span of his opponents neck, where if successful would
easily slice through its entirety.

Chidori (One Thousand Birds)
Rank: A
Range: Close (0m ~ 5m)
Type: Offensive
Handseals: 3
Chakra Consumption: High
One of the rare techniques within the shinobi world involving both shape and nature manipulation, Chidori is a Raiton based ninjutsu developed for the purpose of ensured assassination purposes. Activating the body to focus chakra to the hand, the user's hand become enveloped by an electrical force. This force is their chakra altered in nature to an electrical current. By altering the shape of the force, similar to an electrical discharge, they can decide the power and range of the attack. After concentrating all the chakra into the arm, the user rushes forward in order to use the power of the thrust from the chakra to pierce any object with the extended forearm. Due to the high speed, the force emits a sound like a thousand birds chirping which gave the technique its name.

Note: Pierces through barriers 'A' rank and below, and instantly paralyzes the victim's body upon impact for the remainder of the turn it was used, presuming the strike doesn't kill the victim.

BM Verdict.

I got called in to settle a dispute (A small one, obviously), so let's just get this over with, shall we? While a shinobi is capable of making handseals extremely fast, Tenshi you logically would not have finished your handseals seals before Chae narrowed the distance down to five meters. Furthermore, you specifically noted your handseals would come as a reaction to his movements, so you pretty much solidified that yourself.

I'm not going to have you get autoed because of a simple misunderstanding (When in reality I could), so adjust your post and respond correctly - i.e as you being interrupted while you make your seals. Continue.

[tenshi]

Forget it, this is pointless.

It was obviously ridiculous to believe that I could ever get a timely response from ANY staff. I mean I guess if it is not convenient for you guys then why bother right? What exactly is the point in having a time limit when no one is available for rulings unless you happen to be on the buddy system around here. I ask three different staff members and guess what, nothing.

But here, for your entertainment i'll summarize how the fight will go.

Without having a fighting chance Tenshi watches as his foe can cover five meters (roughly fifteen feet) before his hands can even string five seals together (one seal per meter presuming that it even takes that long). It was foolish for him to think that his fingers could move faster than a man could run. Without being able to defend himself Tenshi would take the only option that had been forcibly offered; sit there. The best he could do is try and avoid the charges of lightning whirling his direction, but the moment his maneuver would be made his opponent would respond moving faster than any man could comprehend.

Per usual, his opponent would cover the distance between them instantly more than likely leaving a simple after image for Tenshi to gaze at. The masked figures body already pulsating with lightning, would already be upon Tenshi even as he was just in the makings of dodging the lightning aimed in his direction. Before the young Genin even had the slightest chance to defend himself his opponent would deliver a fatal blow with his lightning coated hand.

Dead.

Happy?
