Shinryu vs Todai

[Shinryu]

It's a sunny day, with few clouds. The air is relatively dry, and wind is minimal. The battlefield is a flat terrain, mostly bare earth, with sparse coverings of short grass and stones. There are no trees. A brook churns along the field, forming a large 'S' Shape over the field, travelling slowly down the slight incline, running about three feet wide and a foot deep. The field itself is 80 meters by 80 meters.

I stood ten meters from the center of the strange shape that the gurgling trough had carved through the earth, facing a slight decline in the hill. The area was relatively unknown to me, but I was not worried, for there was plenty to work with. I stood with my hand shading my eyes, looking for signs of anyone. The place was mostly barren, and I ought to have been able to see anyone approaching. made by renni

Sluggishly moving through the luscious earth 45 meters away from my opponent barefooted, I quickly stopped and peered upward, cutting the atmosphere above a swift glance as I looked down abruptly from being stabbed in the eyes by the suns blinding rays. I knew that the sun could lead me to go blind but it was something about its golden brilliance that caused me to incessantly gravitated towards like like flies on a porch light. Annoyed and irritated at my own actions my gave momentarily cast itself forward, noticing a long silhouette within the distance.

"If I'm correct I believe that this is my enemy, well now how should we approach this? Ah I know"

Both of my hands uplifted, angling themselves as if I been ready to applaud someone, but in truth I was merely readying myself for combat, and with seal speeds that rivaled even the legendary sannin, I was sure to have my way with my opponent.

I looked forwarfd in the distance, keeping the haze of the sun from my eyes, and spotted someone in the distance. He halted perchance fourty-five meters from me, and raised his arms together towards his chest, at least near as I could tell. I would waste no time in my efforts, then, seeing what appeared to be an enemy, and turned to my left. I began to run towards my new foe in a slight arc, making a few hidden handseals with my left hand at my side, now obscured from his view. I felt all of the sudden lighter on my feet, and thankful for it, as I changed direction perhaps some five meters into my run. I would start headlong towards my foe now, forming more handseals, and using the water I was juxtaposed upon to form my next technique. The ice would glint in the sun as the twenty projectiles would race forward with me, passing me as I continued my run. I came to a sliding halt some twenty meters from where his position had been when I started, my hands beginning to move again. "This should be good..." made by renni

Yes the signal, I saw it clearly, the leftward turning of his body, it was the signal that dictated the beginning of my assualt. Preceding his his take off my hands converged onto one another, sifting through zodiac rituals of inner strength at incomprehensible speeds, nothing more than a blur to my opponent. Quickly I beckoned forth a true copy of myself, one of form and substance and not some chintzy element. Not only this but it duplicated the packs^[10] of clay that I originally carried as well, doubling my capacity in an instant so to speak.

Not even a second later had my duplicate been privileged with the gift of life had its left hand quickly -but clandestinely- dove into its pack, beginning to feast upon the white constructs with hatred. It only took it a mere second to finish its meal, perfectly molding the clay into creations of life as would a god. I myself continued to watch my opponent as he contentedly made his way towards me, sliding gracefully across a sheen of ice as he himself cycled through a set of inferior seals. By the time he finished, the hand of my faux self flicked forward unleashing a simple blob of clay in the form a bird, big enough to stand upon while in flight.

With chakra twisting and churning beneath its feet, my duplicate stepped onto said bird with haste as it immediately uplifted him 10 meters above the earthen floor and continued to rise whilst feasting upon more clay. Concurrently, I remained where I was, below my faux self, and to my opponents front, waiting to see what my opponent had in store for me as he halted 20 meters from my positions.

Clay blobs 8 / 10

[Kouguchi Bakuha (Evil Hand-Mouth Possession) 625
Rank: D, C, B, A, [ S ]
Type: Supplementary / Special Bloodline Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: Low
Special: Determines the power placed behind the clan member's clay explosions when a hand-mouth is molding clay in preparation for an explosion, as well as the range the bombs can travel away from the user before automatically detonation; explosion range varies by technique. When first learned, bombs can travel up to 10 meters away, plus 10 more with each new rank acquired.
Description: Said to be the clan member's most gross yet most fundamental power, the ability to control one's hand-mouths is the key towards victory or defeat on the battlefield. With the hand-mouth open and ready for clay, the user learns to feed it and near-instantly send their Bakuton chakra into their creation, carried by how well they can control Blast chakra. However, after a second or so, the hand-mouth spits out the user's full representation of explosive power within their clay creation, allowing the Kibaku-Nendo to proceed further with other clan techniques. As for detonation? Through the simple formation of 'Katsu' - the single seal that symbolizes standard explosive note blasts everywhere.
Domain: Kibaku-Nendo



Kibaku Iritsuku (Clay Infusion Point) 625
Rank: D, C, B, A,[ S ]
Type: Passive / Special Bloodline Technique / Ninjutsu
Range: Self
Chakra: --
Special: Determines the speed at which the Kibaku-Nendo creates their explosive clay. When attempting to mold a creation of clay ranked higher than the user's highest rank in this technique, a creation time penalty is incurred in the form of a single turn for every rank the creation is above the user's highest 'Clay Infusion Point'.

'D' - 3 turns
'C' - 2 turns
'B' - 1 turn
'A' - Half of a turn
'S' - 1/4th of a turn

Description: Though it is crucial the clan member awakens their hand-mouth in order to even have a shot at mastering the Kibaku-Nendo clan techniques, with time and practice, they can get faster and faster at making their explosions, regardless of the clay's size, shape, or rank of explosion. In the end, once the mouth grows comfortable chewing on a certain piece of ranked clay, it will surely create the next one in less time!
Domain: Kibaku-Nendo. Kouguchi Bakuha.



C1: Getaway Bird
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu Supplementary
Range: See Special
Chakra/Stamina: Mid
Special: Bird is two meters in wingspan. Only capable of sustaining the weight of one or two average sized people. Capable of flight. Explosion range of 5 meters in radius. Bomb can only move as far away from user as highest ranked 'Kouguchi Bakuha' known. Creation time is same as highest ranked 'Kibaku Iritsuku' known. Requires two standard clay blobs.
Description: Molding clay into a tiny bird about the size of a C1 bomb, the user can then perform a special handseal to make the the bird expand into a size in which it can hold one or two people and sustain flight. Just like C1, the user can control where the bird moves, but what differs this bird from what's created in C2, is the size and the inability to do anything other than support the user for flight and explode.

OOC: Since you didn't respond to the birds, and since they each move at 2x kunai speed, pretty sure that they auto-hit. If not, then assume the following as their attack being stated, and my movements afterward.

My opponent had been flashy; a ninjutsu user as well as I was. But he had made a fatal flaw. While a clone of himself took form upon the earth, my flock of swallows would tear swiftly through the air, aiming for their target; him of course. As though I would be fooled by a substitute. A bird of his own creation was birthed by his clone, and it rapidly took off into the air, ten meters above us. However, it left him defenseless from the direct frontal assault of twenty beings of ice, which would rip into his flesh, tearing sinew from bone, and skin from muscle. His arms and legs were the main targets, the birds using jagged beaks and slicing wings to lacerate his body. Even while the birds would tarry with their attack, each attempting to dig its way into his flesh, my handseals would finish, and two copies of myself would form beside me. From there, A few more swift handseals would shroud the battlefield in mist, covering everything within a thirty meter span in dampness and obscuring all sight to minimal visibility. The clones of course would rush towards the last position of my foe. Lastly, taking a single kata, two platforms would form themselves mid-air. I would leap from the ground to the first one, and from the first to the second, moving diagonally to the right perhaps two meters, and moving skyward about three. From there I would peer through the mist, preparing my next strategy. 'I hope he's got more than that.' I thought to myself, pondering my foe's next move. made by renni
