Kaze to Tsuchi. Travel

[Icarus]

It was finally time to embark on another journey, his stay in suna long long overdone. He figured he would take up the offer he had heard about in iwagakure no sato, they were rather well known for taking in and even protecting nuke nin. It would help him it would settle his nerves no doubt. The only problem was that it took as always a bit of time to get there, but that didn’t matter it would be worth it. He was most sure.

The land grew more steady, to say the least in weather, yet it was still arid as he did most of his travelling. He had stopped once or twice to eat and then continued to keep moving towards what he thought was tsuchi no kuni. He figured he would have to find an escort to lead him to iwagakure, at least if he wanted to continue straight forward to the village without a whole bunch of wandering. His thoughts confirming this as the ground all around became what he assumed was the environment of tsuchi no kuni.

"Woof." Said the dog.

"That's him... but... what is he doing down there?"

Araena stood at the edge of the bottomless ravine, and gazed down at the boy who was standing on a small thin stone bridge that spanned from one side of the 50 foot wide ravine to the other side.

The meter wide bridge was located 10 meters below the cusp of the ravine, where Araena was standing. His back was to her, granting her an opportunity for a sneak attack. Buuut, that wasn't her style.

Cupping her hands around her mouth, Araena called out to the man.

"Hey, guy, what are you doing in that ravine?!"

[Icarus]

He stared up, what did he see but another person looking down at him from the ravine. He didn’t quite realize that other people would be here or he would be more on guard but this one was simply prodding with questions, he didn’t really thing he needed to pay her any mind, he could just simply keep moving and indeed that was what he would do.

[Exar Kun]

Handseals were formed and the dog transformed.

"Take him out boy, I think he's the missing nin that attacked our gate." Araena said, her eyes never leaving the bridge. "Use a Tsuuga."

The Inuzuka dog barked an affirmative, and with a grunt of effort, he spiraled off of the edge of the ravine, his deadly drill like attack spearing for the boy on the bridge. He was aiming to smear the kid in one shot.

Araena meanwhile formed handseals and activated her 4 legs technique. She'd remain on the cusp to provide support.

Shikyaku no Jutsu (Four-Legged Technique)
Rank: D, C ,B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique / Taijutsu
Range: Self
Special: Improves the clan member's overall speed, strength and endurance, so that they can outperform most normal ninja in physical tasks while remaining in their canine shape.

D - 120% Speed, Strength & Endurance
C - 140% Speed, Strength & Endurance
B - 160% Speed, Strength & Endurance
A - 180% Speed, Strength & Endurance
S - 200% Speed, Strength & Endurance


Description: The basis of all Inuzuka jutsu comes from Shikyaku no Jutsu. After forming the needed hand seals, chakra begins to emit from the body of the clan member and they take on a more canine-like appearance, granting them animal-like accelerated fighting instinct and reflexes to the user. By continuing their flow across their body and moving on all fours, they can obtain high speed movement and reflexes like that of a wild animal. Taught only to the members of the Inuzuka clan, this technique forms the basis of a Inuzuka clan member's taijutsu fighting style, and will add even more to their feral-like appearances; their canine teeth, their finger and toenails grow to claw-like length, their eyes also become more wild with their pupils becoming slits. When under the effects of this jutsu, an Inuzuka will display great feats of physical strength, speed, and endurance.
Domain: Inuzuka.

Juujin Bunshin (Beast-Man Clone)
Rank: D
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Special: Form remains until cancelled or until the canine is severely injured.
Description: Once the Inuzuka has learned to turn their body into beast-like forms, they then pass on their newfound powers onto their canine partner. Acting in conjunction with the clan member, the canine familiar will transform themself into a copy of the clan member once the appropriate handseals are finished. While in this form they can accomplish many of the same techniques as the original. When combined with the 'Four-Legged Technique', the user and the animal become virtually impossible to tell apart, since both act equally animalistic.
Domain: Inuzuka. Must know Shikyaku no Jutsu 'D'.




Tsuuga (Piercing Fang)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Secret Technique / Taijutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Speed, attack distance, movement and effectiveness is determined by the user's highest Shikyaku no Jutsu rank:


D ~ 15° turns / 10 meters
C ~ 30° turns / 20 meters
B ~ 45° turns / 30 meters
A ~ 60° turns / 40 meters
S ~ 75° turns / 50 meters


Special: Tsuuga is a basic taijutsu technique of the Juujin Bunshin style of combat, and the basis for a plethora of advanced variations. This version will just involve one individual clan member utilizing the spinning attack. While using this technique, the ninja can rotate and strike from multiple angles. The user spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beast-like attacks when contact is made with the target. The damage it can inflict on a human target can be extremely damaging, as it can readily tear through thick tree branches and even chakra reinforced barriers, all of which with a radius thicker than the user itself. The fast rotation will cause a damaging impact on their opponent or an nearby object when they connect with their claws.
Domain: Inuzuka. Must know Shikyaku no Jutsu 'C'.

His heart pumped faster immecdiately as he kept his eye on the girl, as he attempted to pass peacefully across the bridge. She had with her a dog, which he could only assume by the size it was and wthe way she was communicating with it was s some sort of dog nin. She was probably of the fabled inuzuka clan, those who made themselves closer to their canine counter parts. He confirmed this as she ordered her dog and he began spinning violently like a projectile towards him.

He backed up and with one hand grabbed into his pouch and snapped a tracker over his eye, the other hand at the same time lobbing a smoke grenade with the slightly increased accuracy he could muster from the tracker, though not much with such a hasty response. It didn’t matter though, the radius of the spinning dog projectile was large and would hit the smoke bomb , most likely before it even knew what would happen. His hands in seals as he backed up, accounting for distance if the dog kept linear he would be safe on this now steady ground of rock, his body off the bridge.

The dog smacked into the hissing bomb with such force that it simply bounced away, falling uselessly to the bottom of the ravine's unfathomable depths. The bomb had had barely even a second to spew its contents. Not nearly enough to conceal vision.

The dog kept on spinning, heedless of the grenade. His sight not robbed of him after all, he corrected his angle of descent to match the boy's back peddling. The missing nin wasn't out of the woods just yet.

[Icarus]

First plan had failed as he watched the smoke, slowly slowly fall down. The tsuuga was coming in close, he would say it was about ten meters away but he already had his jutsu ready for this dog. He crafted paper immediately and threw a large enhanced paper shuriken at the dog, which would threaten to gut it on hit. He also stored in an extra surprise on it.

I'd only been in the country for a handful of hours, and already I found myself on the sidelines of an interesting—a word I use solely for that fact I never imagined a confrontation could be so lackluster and pathetic—fight. I wasn’t entirely sure who they were, but I wasn’t too concerned about it. From what they’d shown thus far, if I decided to intervene, there’d be very little either of them could do to stop me. Chances are they didn’t notice me during the commotion of their battle, though they would’ve easily been able to had they stopped for even a second and glanced in my direction (due north, several meters). Unless they knew who I was personally, my identity would remain incognito ‘less I decided to change that. While I mauled over my options, my iron right hand twitched with anticipation. Hebi almost seemed to moan with need; she hadn’t been used in quite some time. “Calm down, woman,” I huffed. “No one likes a cheap one-night stand. Let’s see if either one of these pricks are worth a damn before we go jumpin’ in ta’ shit that don’t concern us.”

[Exar Kun]

The dog curved over the shuriken and kept bearing toward its target, intent on pulping it.

Araena's enhanced Inuzuka hearing immediately picked up on the moron talking to his hand. wtf was up with that. She glanced at the man, then looked away. She was emo and didn't plan on surviving past the day, so whatever.

Araena reached into her bag to retrieve a light grenade, but due to not paying attention, she actually pulled out the sack containing all of her ryo. Before she'd even realized what she'd done, she tossed the sack into the ravine.

"Oh shit!"

It bounced off of the bridge's surface, spilling ryo all over the place, than bounced into the eternal darkness of the ravine, spilling money as it went.

[[ -60250 ryo from my account. :axcel: ]]

[Axcel]

Axcel, equipped with a pair of orange aviators he had acquired not too long in Mizu no Kuni, had been walking along the hardened ground for quite some time now. It wasn't until he approached the edge of the ravine did he notice three others. Two of them seemed to be engaged in a battle of some sort--something Axcel hadn't cared for. What caught the lad's attention was the white haired man he had met earlier.

"OIIII MISTERRR! REMEMBER ME?!" Appearing oblivious to the battle going on, Axcel hollered at the top of his longs from the other side of the ravine. His voice was loud, obnoxious, and his words were accompanied with both of his arms waving back and forth in order to get the man's attention. He had no idea why he was calling out to the man--the mere fact that he had ran into someone he recognized him just set the lad into a joyous state.

[Icarus]

Immediately, aided with his trackers range system as soon as the dog came within range of the shuriken he triggered the paper the shuriken was made of. The shuriken composed of explosive tags exploded each with the ability to damage within ten meters. His hands still together he flickered forward just under the dog, hoping that it could not simply just one hundred and eighty degree it. With the ten meters passing by he found himself at the very edge of the bridge, the rocky end of the ravine meeting the fronts of his shoes. A small slightly curved path leading to the top of the ravine. He turned around to see if the dog was dead or heading towards him.

In the time it would've taken a person to blink their eye, the distance separating me from the soaring satchel was completely erased1. In fact, her clumsy error gave me ample to to not only catch that parcel before it crashed into the bridge surface, spilling its contents below, but I stood there and waited. I even quirked a brow at the moron, though I wasn't goin' to argue. Free money was free money. To be specific, I went down the wall of the ravine and onto the bridge. Placing the bag inside my own satchel upon my waist, I waited to see which of the two I'd get to handle once their skirmish was finished. Of course, was I in any immediate danger (explosion or whatever), I would've evaded in the same manner that I entered. SPOILER: Click to show Shunpo (Flashing Light Steps) Rank: Dx3 Type: Supplementary / Taijutsu / High-Speed Movement Range: 0 - 5 meters Consumption: Low Special: Shunpo is much like Shunshin, a forward-moving high-speed technique that transports the user across a short space in the blink of an eye. When used, the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing. The user can Shunpo once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunpo. Description: Shunpo, a Taijutsu master's response to the Body Flicker Technique, relies solely on the user's ability to harness their inner ki and gain enough stamina to withstand the sudden strain imposed on one's legs. However, once properly trained, the Taijutsu Type will find their legs moving at speeds unknown to common man, to the point most would make the foolish mistake of assuming one is using Shunshin. However, unlike that chakra inspired run, Shunpo is pure stamina and movement skill, allowing for tighter, quicker, and more reactionary movements essential for someone that relies on movement. Although Shunpo itself moves in a single line, its many variations is what makes it so lethal. Domain: Shunpo - Universal Taijutsu. Shunpo-Kyuk (Light Step Shimmer)

The dog exploded.

"FffffffFFFFFFFFFFUUU-" She leaped off of the precipice after the man, intending to smash him to little punk ass niggabits.

Gathering chakra in her balled fist, Kaye attempted to coem down right atop of the punk ass bitch ass trick ass pussy fggt ass mo'fugga and crush the blank out of him.

Rank: D, C B, A, S
Type: Supplementary / Specialized Ninjutsu

Description: The basic behind the Chakra Strength lies in gathering one's chakra at a fine point in their body while performing quick, volatile movements so that their strength is enhanced. By molding their chakra at the desired appendage, it glows a unique color, representing the presence of Chakra Strength. Users of this style should not be taken lightly.

"Hm," Axcel noticed that the white headed lad opted to place himself inside the heart of the battle rather than respond to him. It looked like he made a dash towards whatever the woman had thrown and aimed to retrieve it for himself. The paper user was keeping himself busy, having caused the dog to explode into a mist of blood.

Noticing the girl jumping from her location and towards the man, Axcel formed a single hand seal with his left hand. Upon doing so, a single tile of ice would seemingly materialize from the air, with it's place of creation being in front of the soaring girl's throat. At the speed she was moving, having her throat run into frozen tile would do a number of things. Not only would it hurt like a bitch, but breathing would be difficult for a few moments. On top of that, whatever momentum she was gaining would be thrown off, and she'd have a hard time throwing a proper punch from whatever position she was in. Lastly, the man she aimed to attack would be able to easily execute a counter--likely ending her life.
