ROUND 2 - A Battle of Survival

[Examiner 1.]

As your bodies drop, the scene below begins to reveal itself clearly; thus, by the time your feet hit the soaked, crimson rice fields, amidst a torrent of rain, dark skies and thunder, you knew what to expect. Two groups existed, masses of pure ebony, armored in a strange, traditional Samurai. Their targets? One group, five in all, came upon a young woman clad in plain clothing, a rusty wakizashi in hand. The other had five more attacking what seemed like an extremely old man and a young boy; the old man had a cane, the young boy had a toy bear. There was little time for any of you to react, much less deliberate whom to help.

The old man and child was no more than 15 meters from the Sansutsomu; the woman was the same distance away from the Hyuuga, You have one round to intervene in either of the conflicts. Think fast, for more dark masses appear in the distance...

[♠Solo♠]

The Byakugan gazed upon the fields, allowing the world to pan out before him all within his post he made for himself in the fields of blood and rice. The scenario looked like something out of a horror movie, or from one of the old war stories the shinobi use to receive back when they were in the academy. Tensa had always shrugged off the severity of the stories as they were told, for the world of words alone was no force strong enough to move him. However actually settling within the tale that was told to him would make for a different feeling. It wasn't fear that welled up inside of him. It was something different. An almost sickening feeling. Blood and violence raged everywhere. Was this a world without rules and restriction? Where those without titles battled to see whom was best because there was no line to guide them?

He had no time for his own personal thoughts. Time cut short as action had to be taken. He thought he would be alone on these fields, as Kii hadn't made it to the second round for whatever reason Tensa could guess, and he was virtually without a team. However he noticed two other figures would approach his general area on the fields. One of them even gave a thumbs up to the fellow fighter. It was a confusing and rather old school gesture, but appreciated non the less.

With a silent wind passing by and rain continuing to trample upon the heads of the fighters, the time for action began. White eyes spotted danger 15 meters away. An old woman looked as though she was in trouble. Was this a part of the simulation he asked himself. Surely this sort of war torn era couldn't be real. Had it been it would be reckless to throw several dozen Genin into the pit with these creatures. Simulation or not, it was all a test for him to pass. Making haste he gathered chakra within his body. He wouldn't be able to reach them in time to physically protect them, so he had to manage from afar. With his right hand full of internal power, he launched it towards the samurai like beings. Nothing happened to the naked eye. It was just a silly Genin throwing his arm out at nothing. However an immense wave of chakra was actually sent flying at the center of the huddled creatures, at twice the speed a regular kunai could fly, blowing them over and knocking them back 10 meters. It would be more than just harsh winds attacking them. Tensa's attack would easily pierce the armor they wore, and attack their tenketsu, damaging it and causing them great internal pain. Hopefully this would stun them long enough to make his move towards their direction. As powerful as a strike it was, it wouldn't kill them.

Chakra I


Chakra mastery allows the user excellent control over the chakra they use, how it's molded, and ultimately, how much is used, so much so that they can lower the chakra consumption of all mastery jutsu. When first learned, the user can cast jutsu of the Mastery class for one chakra consumption tier less than normal. Each time re-acquired, cost continues to drop by one less tier each time.

Hakke Kuushou (Eight Divination Signs Air Palm)
Rank: A, A
Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Special: Chakra burst measures roughly the size of an adult male's chest cavity, and travels roughly at twice the speed of a kunai, reaching up to 10 meters, plus 10 more each time retrained. Knock-back is determined by halving the user's maximum Palm range. Chakra can pass through solid armor, and can damage tenketsu, causing internal damage.
Description: Once the Hyuuga understands the art of summoning energy all at once into a single, fine strike, they are able to execute with the same precision, but from a distance. Extending chakra from their body, the Hyuuga will thrust their palm at the target, sending out an invisible wave of chakra that can knock the opponent back greatly. Worst of all, should this burst strike the victim's tenketsu, they shall be paralyzed.
Domain: Hyuuga. Must know Hakke Negi.

[Hirihi]

The scene that Hirihi had seen from the moment she had entered the area was gruesome as it was. It would be taken to a new level at the sight of multiple samurai coming at a group of civilians. Three people against 10 samurai. The odds were unfair, and Hirihi was determined to make those odds evened out. She was located alongside the other two who had dropped with her, but the only one to move first was the male that Hirihi did not know. His first approach was to attack the five samurai that had gone after the woman with the sword.

With her own sword on her waist, Hirihi knew which side that he had declared his loyalties to. Moving alongside him to help even the odds with the others, Hirihi began to perform a set of handseals. While she moved to a more usable vantage point, she finalized the seals for her technique and shot out exactly five fireballs at the group of samurai that were coming at the boy and the elderly man. Seeing as the woman had been taken care of without a problem from what she could see, Not that she could see the damage that was done, nor the attack itself. It had mostly been just him pointing his arm at the group that let her know where he was attacking.

Each of the fireballs would be sit to hit the different samurai in the group as she moved closer, grabbing a smoke grenade from her pack and throwing it out in the middle of the group, her sword coming free of its sheathe as she drew near to the group. Why had she moved so fast? She was terrified at what she was seeing. it wasn't everyday that you were dropped into an area with ten samurai with innocent bystanders, expected to make a decision that had no details.

This was the test, though, to see what they'd do given this circumstance int he future.

Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Katon Ninjutsu
Range: See special!
Special: Up to 5 projectile fireballs can be made at once, plus 5 more each time retrained. Travels as far as the projectile allows.
Description: Basic yet very effective within the Katon arsenal of jutsu, this technique allows the ninja to emit a series of small fire balls after a simple set of handseals are made. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, because they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like shuriken or kunai, and only select doujutsu and bloodline abilities allow the user to see through the deception.

[Examiner 1.]

The hyuuga had beckoned his powers forth to aid the woman in her time of need. She would see this and ultimately run towards his safety, away from the opposing samurai storm. Hirihi Rinji had spotted another few of samurai who’d begun to flail upon a young man and boy. Their attacks would be cut short as well… fire capturing them all within a flare and dissipating them all into nothing but lifeless green orbs which scattered into the air and into Rinji’s body. The same effect would come upon Zieg who had taken down two of the samurai. Two orbs would have come to him giving him a little extra chakra back. The total number they’d both killed would be five, three for Rinji and two for Zieg.

A giant number five planted itself along one of the clouds that were from the incoming storm. The old man and kid ran to them as fast as they could though being at a good 15 meters away the other samurai who trailed behind them would have caught up to them even faster than they could have gotten to their saviors. Eight samurai in total now, each coming from points upon the compass rose [n,e,s,w] would begin their assault. Being at a good distance of only 20 meters they dashed hastily to the old man and the lady. Protect them as swiftly as you can, young genin, for if even one of them dies… you lose.

The enemies fell with his powerful chakra thrust. To his surprise, two of them had met a fatal fate. What happened next, however, was even more shocking. Their bodies had become green orbs after they had fallen, and would return to his body as sources of energy. Though not much, it was felt.

"All part of the simulation." he murmured to himself, as he evaluated the situation with his mighty Byakugan. Able to see the entire field before him, he witnessed the woman perform a Katon based technique to eliminate three more enemies. Their bodies reacted the same as Tensa's own slain opponents. The woman Tensa had rescued would have rushed to the group of two, as she determined it to be, if anything, the safest place to be. The old man and child, however, would find that their speed wasn't as great as the woman's was, and more creatures gathered to taste their blood from behind.

Eight more. His eyes scanned them all. Two coming from each of the four points on a compass. No time for thinking and gathering the entire situation. He could only hope that the companion that he seemed to have made on this bloody battlefield could handle another four of them. Granted she had long distance ninjutsu, they shouldn't have been a problem, or so he assumed.

He himself, on the other hand, resorted to forces familiar to his own style. With the enemies just 20 meters away and closing, his swift hands moved onto his sides and grabbed two kunais, each equipped with their own ivory surprise. Launching them both from one hand, they flung out at their targets, slicing through the air like a swallow or a hawk aiming to eliminate it's prey. The two blades stuck themselves into the ground, just a meter away from the two enemies coming from the west. A single seal would close the chapter on their lives. A massive explosion emerged and would blow more than just a few limbs off of the nearby strangers.

The two enemies in the north were next. He awaited their approach slightly, taking a stance only familiar to him and those of his heritage. His left leg and arm were outstretched, facing the two oncoming monsters. His right leg tucked under his body, while his right arm stretched outward in the opposite direction. His fingers were connected to one another, while his thumbs bent themselves into his palms. He would surprise them. His movement would give him enough of an advantage. Once they found themselves 15 meters away he would disappear in the blink of an eye. They wouldn't know it, but they had stepped into his domain. A Hakke Field stretched outwards 15 meters in all directions from his position.

"Eight Trigrams, Sixty Four Palms!" Like bolts of lightning, Tensa's first two strikes would emerged and land upon the enemy on his left side, almost as fast as he had disappeared and reappeared right under their noses. Another sixty two strikes were equally divided among the two samurai, all aiming to eliminate their chakra flow and stop their movement. He didn't know if they felt pain. A part of him even doubted as much. However monsters were not required to know pain to be slain. Amongst the attacks, four strikes each went into where the samurai's hearts would be. The pressure of immense chakra that flowed through his fingertips and into their heart would be enough to cause even the youngest of men to drop like the elderly, once their hearts had stopped beating.

Four down.

Hakke Rokujuuyonshou (Eight Divination Signs, Sixty-Four Palms of the Hand)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive / Clan Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Seals off the victim's chakra for the rest of the thread. Moves around the Hakke to strike at near-shunshin speeds.
Description: The second level of Hakke strikes involves doubling the previous 32, although with a few notable differences - Hakke Rokujuuyonshou is a special technique passed down through the main family line only. When an opponent is within the clan members divination field of attack, they can quickly begin their assault. Like with the previous 32, they can force their chakra through their hands into the tenketsu of the opponent's body. First the clan member will strike 2 times, then 4, 8, 16, 32 and finally 64. This damage forceably closes 64 tenketsu, stopping the chakra flow of the opponent, thus limiting their opponent's ability to use jutsu much greater than ever.

[Hirihi]

When the fireballs connected with her intended targets, Hirihi would find herself confused at the sight of them being dissolved into green and turning into orbs, the orbs colliding with her body and filling her with a slight bit of replenishment. She had not expected the attack to kill the samurai, as was why she had dispensed the smoke bomb as a diversion to help the older man and the child get closer to them. Their retreat to come to their rescuers was short lived as there would come another onslaught of samurai. Hirihi was not sure what this simulation was supposed to prove, but she was getting utterly tired of it

Where was the explanation? Why were these three people so important to be slain by the samurai? She couldn't answer the question to herself, but she knew that something was not right. There was not time to deliberate on what to do about the situation. The group would be quickly closing in and Hirihi had a plan.

Her friend had found his targets, and she would pick her own. To help her get a good vantage point on the group, she would go into a low bend in her stance and chakra would surge through her body as she produced four shuriken from her bag. In a lightning fast movement, Hirihi was burst forward 10 meters. From this angle, she was able to see the four samurai that were her targets. With the four shuriken in hand, Hirihi would make a throw with each hand, the two sets of shuriken flying slightly to the left of each samurai. It was close enough that it would hit them, but the attack was meant to make them move in the area that she would want them to go.

With a quick set of handseals, similar to what she had used in the beginning, Hirihi would launch four fireballs, the fireballs placed farther to the right so that the samurai would have to either dodge left or right, picking to be hit by a shuriken or a fireball, or halt their advance entirely and make a diving dodge out of the way. Whichever they chose, their assault would be halted by either death or impeded to where she could use her fists on their heads, the fiery determination to protect who she believed to be innocent flooding through her mind.

1/5 Shunshin used

4 Shuriken used

[Examiner 1.]

The hokage’s thrown projectiles would be dodged but inevitably to no expense from both sides. The samurai would explode furiously in a cohesive manner at a 10 meter radius. A red number four would spike up from the flames and dissipate into the sky adding to the total of the number. In the meanwhile he staged himself directly in front of the people coming near him. The hokage had taken down four previously with his projectiles… which would render Hirihi useless of taking a higher number, or even an equal number, of kills.

The two that travelled from the north to the hokage’s position were stopped quickly by the stance of the hyuuga’s trigram. As his palmed technique commenced… the second samurai which had not been attacked from the north drew his sword up quickly. Zieg you are ultimately cut at your left shoulder without a deep wound and a number one with a negative symbol sprouts up… but it would mean nothing as the shuriken hirihi had thrown would surely hit their marks.

As the samurai had come down for a second strike he would be killed quickly by Hirihi’s projectile. A total of seven. This brings your total to eleven. From beneath the womans foot to your right, Zieg, her ankle is being grasped by a hand that is coming up. From the other side of her a sword is coming from the ground towards her gut, a killing blow. You have little time to react after your 64 palms has commenced.

Hirihi you have left the aid of the old man and child. From beneath them they are being grabbed by a total of six hands. Two to grab each of their ancles and one coming up with kunai in his two hands in attempts to kill them.

[Hirihi]

Hirihi watched as the attack seemed to work in getting a few of them dispatched. Her mind stayed alert as she watched the battlefield, but she found herself offguard to repel the attack that would come from below ground. Her leg held firmly in place at the ankle, Hirihi growled to herself as she should have realized they wouldn't just come from the sides, but from underground as well. Irritated that she hadn't used her abilities to the fullest, Hirihi would look up to see that she was being swung at from a weapon from one of the surviving attackers who she had nearly dispatch before.

With the sound of the cries from her captives that she was to protect, Hirihi immediately began to pour chakra iknto her leg to break the hold of the one beneath her. Using the chakra charged appendage, she swung her leg immediately up to connect with the side of the blade and knock it 20 meters away. Using the opportunity given to her to get away, Hirihi used a quick movement of her body to move back the ten meters to be rejoined with her captives, finding them screaming out for good reason.

Without a second thought, Hirihi took the blade from her waist and swung forward at the hands that held the kunai aimed to take out the old man and young boy. Bringing her arm back, she would swing at the arms that were holding them down to attempt to free them. With no bodies there to block her attack, the assailants unable to block it without either letting go of their prey, or by retreating.

To gain a better sight of the ground below, Hirihi performed a set of handseals and would begin to see the world with a chakra lens covering her vision, giving her the ability to see within 20 meters of the area any chakra signatures.

waiting for apple or zero to post. I will give this another 24 hours..

[Areru]

[OOC: Thought it was my post after you had [Examiner] since it isn’t my turn yet. Or- At least I wasn’t aware that we started the order again. Assuming my original position from the first post.]

And so- it was time to fight- Or at least that was what she could gather from looking around the area. With her eyes looking around it would take but moments for the young kunoichi to look around her with haste, seeing several figures of Samurai, traces of the shinobi who had joined her in this ongoing battle, and three civilian-like figures. Having been looking at the ongoing fight at the moment it appeared as if they were to protect these civilians but at the same time- She couldn’t take sides too quicky, which was unfortunate as her decision making would be hurried and she’d end up having to join the side of her fellow shinobi, who were busy protecting the civilians- Hadn’t they pondered the possibility that they may be dangerous killers, the samurai sent out to apprehend them?

Or- As the battle was going on now, it seemed as if the three were way out of their depth with whatever weaponry they had, and although she was now willing to fight against the samurai, she hadn’t definite trust in these three- There was something up with this round, but she couldn’t place her finger on it just yet. ”….” Her position still being fifteen meters or so away from the old man and child, she’d begin, watching Hirihi- The kumogakure nin she had past trained with- Seeing her in somewhat distress and the civilians in quite a bad shape too, they being the closest thing, she would then rush towards them with shunshin enhancing her steps, simply blazing the final five meters with her sword up high before she’d then bring it crashing along the hand that was carrying the kunai towards the figure that Hirihi wasn’t currently attacking.

Two to grab each of their ankles and one coming up with kunai in his two hands in attempts to kill them.

Now, the tip of her sword surely connecting, should they do the hands would be ripped from the earth by her mighty blade, sending both the hands and kunai flying, and there being only one of Hirihi and two to save. Of course, her position was assumed by cutting the flesh of the arms that Hirihi wasn’t attacking at the moment, making the process quicker. With her blade in her right hand now, should she need to form handseals, little effort would be needed to sheathe it-

The black haired girl was ready for anything.

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) [1/4]
Rank: D, D, D, D
Shunshin count per thread: 4
Type: Supplementary / Ninjutsu / High-Speed Movement
Range: 0 - 10 meters
Chakra: Low
Special: Flickering is near-instantaneous forward movement, meaning the user will rush almost instantly to wherever they are facing as chakra pushes their legs to inhumane levels. The user can flicker once per thread, plus once more each time retrained. One cannot attack or perform techniques during Shunshin.
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic ninjutsu technique used across the shinobi world by all, ranging from the most basic shinobi to the legends of lore. Considered is a high-speed movement technique, it allows a ninja to move short to long distances at an almost untraceable speed - to an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. Such a feat is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily vitalise the body and move at extreme speeds they would otherwise be unable to reproduce. In the end, the user will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly should they need it. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.
