running wild (Metatarsus)

[✘TAIGA]

The Action


From the temperamental sky fell rain, pounding the earth below without reprieve. Harsh winds vigorously swayed the mountains top, which roughly spanned a total radius of thirty by thirty meters of space. The ground was wet and soft from the harsh elements it endured; the soil terribly eroded, gave way to tumble down the side of the mountain at any moment if one was not careful.

The air was cold, and frigid, their terrain seemed to shake as lighting would flicker across the moody sky above. A crackling, demonic noise would bolster, the thunderous noise rippling throughout the mountain top. Within her gaze was her enemy, finally tracked down, a smirk would flash across the freckled girls face. Her body trembled, not because she was soaked, but because the excitement was far too much to contain.

"So, we gonna dance or are you gon leave me out hear all wet?!"

Hotarubi would draw the folded blade Oruhane from her back, holding it within her dominant left hand. With the distance between both she and her enemy simply ten meters, chaos was soon to ensue the mountain t, and one warrior would fall prey to the jaws of the beast; forever to be swallowed whole without mercy.

[Hisou Rokuna]

CRACK!!!

The boom of distant thunder rolled across the air. Hisou was facing the girl, but his eyes were closed with his head tilted up slightly. The wet mess that was his hair was drooped against the sides of his head. Thin streams of water ran down the sides of his face. Hisou was stripped of his armor- as per the Samurai's code of conduct concerning duels. He simply enjoyed the dreary weather for a bit longer before pulling his nameless blade out of it's sheath with a soft 'Shrrrrrrrrrk'.

"Another man might have taken advantage of your phrasing."

As he spoke, Hisou placed his middle and pointer fingers on top of the blade at it's base with his thumb pressed against the bottom. As he dragged his hand across the wet blade, a light blue sheen covered the blade as his fingers passed. He continued until the entire sword was coated in light. The raindrops that were unlucky enough to land on the chakra coated blade sizzled and evaporated from the energy. Hisou pointed the glowing sword towards his opponent...and then swung it to the side, causing the chakra to dissipate into nothingness.

"We are both swordsman, are we not? I will use no supernatural techniques, and I pray that you do the same. Let only our skill with the blade determine the outcome of this battle."

With that, Hisou pushed one foot back and crouched slightly. He weld the sword in his right hand, and kept it against his right thigh with the blade pointed up slightly towards the girl's solar plexus. His left hand was wrapped around his right wrist, ready to add additional force to the upward thrust he was preparing to preform. It wasn't mean to kill, however- He intended to parry the girl's first attack.

The Action


Perplexed, maple eyes looked on at the man as he went through a motion of much un-needed movements Hotarubi could only describe as some kind of weird ritual. "Teh fuck?" Her inner voice rang out through the confines of her mind as his mating call or what have you had finished. If not for the tense situation she would had burst out in laughter, teasing the poor fool.

Ignoring his first comment, she stepped forward, adjusting her footing to the loose terrain so she wouldn't make a novice mistake and end up a fool. Although Hotarubi wasn't the brightest apple in the lot, even a chimpanzee could learn to probe and anthill with a stick. "Sorry. You got it all wrong, see this thing here?!" Waving the thick, folded weapon-Oruhane she showed it off so that he got a good look.

"I aint no swordsmen, this blade here is just used to chop shit like you!"

She spat her words with no mercy, like that of a snake, her words carried venom.

A toxic venom.

Without wasting another second the girl figured it was time to bring the fight to the man, so she sprinted forward, Oruhane held at the ready as she'd make her way cross the distance. Full speed ahead she thought as the rain pelted her. She wouldn't stop and her body was ready for any surprises that might have laid up his sleeve. If Hotarubi's siege went unanswered she'd be five meters from the enemy.

[Hisou Rokuna]

When the girl professed that she wasn't a swordsman, with a great deal of unnecessary language besides, Hisou couldn't help but narrow his eyes at her. A bloodthirsty child brandishing a lethal weapon...there could only be one explanation. The word slipped out of his lips like a curse,

"Ninja..."

Hisou crouched a bit lower before pushing against the ground with the Metatarsus of his feet. The added force caused him to spring forward towards the girl. He kept his sword held in the same position as when he'd been crouching, although now it was pointing slightly lower towards the center of her chest now. He waited until they were just under four meters apart before squeezing down on the hilt of his sword, flooding it with chakra. The sword once again flared with a light blue chakra coating, and it's blade sped out to meet the approaching ninja's chest.

After casting a jutsu after he'd said he wouldn't, he felt he needed to explain himself. Still- Ninja had no honor. So there was no reason to treat one honorably. Not that it mattered much, as unless the ninja managed to evade, the battle would end as quickly as it had begun.

The Action


Crossing the threshold of our meters, Hotarubi's eyes widened as blue an blue energy coated the mans blade, extending its fangs. "Shit!" With no hesitation, the blonde reacted, gripping Oruhane, whilst feeding the weapon chakra it quickly opened, its true form revealed. With a quick side-step to her right and twist an flick of her wrist, the flat surface of Oruhane had served to protect its masters midsection as the energy collided, creating a painful sound amongst the thunder.

However; even as the energy gritted against Oruhane, Hotarubi had not slowed a bit, and with her right arm, she gathered wind chakra- a minuscule action that was short and quick. "Kamaitachi!" Letting loose a swipe of her arm which would send forth a most powerful gale. The mouth of the beast was ten meters wide, and it sought to sink its teeth into the samurai as it raged forth, threatening to send the girl aback some twenty meters.

Kamaitachi (Cutting Whirlwind)
Rank: C, C
Type: Offensive / Fuuton Ninjutsu
Range: 10+ meters
Chakra: Mid
Special: Size of tunnel opening measures 5 meters, and wind blasts can travel 10 meters; each time relearned, the mouth grows by 5 meters and the blast itself travels an extra 10 meters..
Description: This jutsu was brought to fame by a legendary Suna shinobi from long ago, and was named after a mythical creature able to command the winds on a whim. After channeling wind chakra at either their weapon or limb, the user swings it around and brings forth a most intense tornado, coming out from the weapon/arm. Once it strikes the user, the tornado tips upward and takes the user up, keeping them imprisoned by the strong currents, and delivering multiple waves of cutting/slicing damage onto their bodies, as well as dropping them hard onto the ground afterward.
Domain: Fuuton.

Oruhane (Lit; Folding wing)
rank B
type Chakra
special Oruhane is able to be folded open, due to the hinges crafted into it at its creation. This unique feature only takes a small flick of the risk to perform with a minuscule amount of chakra to pop the hinges unloose. Not only is Oruhane able to function as a blade, but also as a shield.
description At first glance Oruhane looks like your ordinary fat sword, folded many times over and over so that it has it thick, fat appearance. With one end sharp to a tea, and the other dulled for heavy, blunt impact. Once the special feature is unloosed the blade will appear as wide as the human body, resembling a meat cleaver. Although Oruhane is shorter than your typical claymore or heavy sword, but its weight is still the same as one.
Cost: 10,000

[Hisou Rokuna]

The rebound from the deflected blow caused Hisou to stumble, providing his opponent with an opening. He recovered- but not quickly enough to avoid the girl's followup jutsu. The gale forced Hisou back, and he dug his sword into the ground to attempt to stop himself...but the blade's chakra coating caused it to easily cleave the earth, preventing Hisou from using it to stop his movement back. He'd been pushed back to the edge of the mountain's peak before he was finally able to dispel the chakra coating and use the sword to bring himself to a halt.

However, while he saved himself from being tossed over the edge, his efforts did nothing to stop the Ninjutsu itself. The razor winds had left Hisou's body covered with lacerations and shredded his clothes into rags. He glared at the girl for a moment before dropping onto one knee and bowing his head in her direction,

"Discretion is the better part of valor. I concede defeat."

Hisou could probably have pushed forward with a Shunpo and continued the battle, but...to do so would have put him at an extreme disadvantage. The girl had a shield that could block his most powerful technique, Ninjutsu that was extremely effective in the limited area of the mountain's peak, and hadn't been injured as of yet, whereas he was a bloody mess. So yes, he could have continued...but the best thing to do was to surrender.
