To face a master in the way of Bushido was like staring into the face of Death itself.

Jubei stood with his frontal side facing his opponent in the center of the arena, exposing the entirety of his form. Feet set shoulder width apart, weight balanced evenly on the balls of each foot. With his sword already drawn from its dark prison, it merely rested at his side, loose, but ready, itching to paint the taint his blade with his opponents blood and use the world as its canvas. His respective hand (though unarmed) remained relax as well with his fingers loose. The day was rather clear and beautiful, lingering clouds were far and few, allowing the suns rays to spill upon the area which only complimented the azure sky that hung above. With furor, the proctor yelled, giving both parties the sign to begin battle.

Watching and waiting for that everlasting golden opportunity, his focus remained hard upon his opponent afront.

A cold stare unmasked the tsuchikage’s nature almost instantly as the two warriors met each other face to face.

Totsuzen stood still amongst the tension away from his opponent who was positioned fifteen meters away standing at the center. Another thirty five meters or so behind him is a stone wall escalating up to a total of fifty creating somewhat of a shadow over him in the midst of the evening sky. Since the battlefield was of earthen nature the tides of battle surely weighed heavier on the tsuchikage. With arms folded loosely allowing quick and tangible movement the beast of oto would await his opponents first move.

A kage.

Jubei knew this would have been a fight to remember, and a fight to be honored. Having been given the opportunity to one of the leaders of the fight great nations was a huge step to reclaiming the honor his samurai brethren once held over the world. With his blade at the ready he bolted forward at the blink of an eye, ripping across the terra firma at a brisk pace, spraying minuscule particles of earth into the air from his quick dash. The light pitter patter of his dash broke the silence between the two warriors who seemed to have not even a single word to share. Nevertheless he moved at a fast pace cutting down that wretched 15 meters into 5 in a matter of seconds, this would be over depending on how this man before jubei would react.

Time was of the essence. . but that thought must not have passed the young samurai’s mind. Rushing in running was oh so very bland. In three seconds he would have made it to Totsuzen at the speed he was attempting to maneuver but sadly this speed alone would not be fast enough to outwit the warrior of earth. If it were not for the one second the tsuchikage had stolen just as the samurai’s feet lifted from the earthen mat his opponent would have cleared those ten meters with ease. Sadly his speed would be proven false to the swiftness of the earthen river streaming two meters from Totsuzen’s position; unmoved and concrete.

The second he’d taken to run would have been his first mistake as it took him very little time to perform the seals (hyperseal III. B=E). . the opponents feet would undoubtedly slip upon the fast-paced river having unpredicted the tsuchikage’s form of attack. Totsuzen was very sure this man would slip upon the ground, becoming pushed back an extra ten meters, and in knowing so his hands would set in stone the next piece of this puzzle only after ensuring the first attack had gone to plan. In precaution for the opposite outcome he would cautiously analyze every move made by the samurai.

¹Doryū Taiga (Earth Flow Rivers) ¹⁰⁰⁰
Rank: B x 10
Type: Supplementary / Doton Ninjutsu
Range: See Special!
Chakra: High
Special: Range at which river can be created and width of the river depend on the user's highest 'Earth Dominion' rank. River originates from the user's feet, and moves at the speed of 1 meter per second, plus 1 more each time retrained for a maximum of 10 meters per second.
Description: After performing the necessary hand seals, the user will transform the ground upon which the enemy stands into a river of mud. This river suddenly materializes flowing at fast paces completely against the direction the opponent is moving, making movement very, very difficult. The river itself shoots in a relatively straightly line, and as the user's rank increases, so does their skill with this technique. Excellent for slowing people down and facilitating escapes, as the mud itself is highly constricting.
Domain: Doton. Earth Dominion 'B'.

Handseals? Yes, though they were foreign to Samurai and Jubei himself, he wasn't ignorant ot the fact that they were just some nifty incantation to beckon forth the true powers of a shinobi. However, even with his speed exceeding that of the average shinobi, he was a fool to have underestimated Jubei's speed. Furthermore the geysers of mud that came forth, lusting for Jubei's flesh, but something was missing, had this shinobi gained some sort of higher ground and used gravity itself to further speed up the gait of his river he would have potentially caught Jubei.

This however was not the case.

It was undoubtedly on flat ground and coupled with the fact that it would require some seconds to pick up speed just to hunt down Jubei himself which, ironically was all the time he needed to strike down this fool. Unlike the ninja, Jubei's prowess was devoid of any incantation, so by the time the river could even breach a meter threshold, Jubei had already cut that measly 15 meters down to 10. However, during that 5 meter sprint, his bladed arm took not even a second to mold its power stretching the blades sharp essence in an instant for an extra 20 meters with a horizontal swing to the waist that would cut him in half like a hot knife through butter.

I'm not sure you read the technique but the jutsu doesn't require time to speed up. Also read my post more clearly..

The second he’d taken to run would have been his first mistake as it took him very little time to perform the seals (hyperseal III. B=E). . the opponents feet would undoubtedly slip upon the fast-paced river having unpredicted the tsuchikage’s form of attack.

You in no way stated you used a high-speed moving technique. All shinobi travel the same speed - even if you're a tai primary - unless you use a technique such as shunshin or shunpo. If you didn't notice - my river travels at one meter per second - you were 15 away from me yet I started the river out two meters from my position - this means it would have taken less than 1.5 seconds for you to have been caught up within this river.

In three seconds he would have made it to Totsuzen at the speed he was attempting to maneuver but sadly this speed alone would not be fast enough to outwit the warrior of earth. If it were not for the one second the tsuchikage had stolen just as the samurai’s feet lifted from the earthen mat his opponent would have cleared those ten meters with ease. Sadly his speed would be proven false to the swiftness of the earthen river streaming two meters from Totsuzen’s position; unmoved and concrete.

Again - the jutsu description clearly states the earth flow rivers suddenly materializes (another phrase for "is instantly created).

Edit your post plz?

[Hermit]

Lol I already talked this over with staff. your technique simply stats the MAXIMUM velocity in which your river can potentially travel, furthermore you yourself falied to explain how fast. Like comatose told you when you got captured by Yuri, simply because its in the spoilers does not mean its legal within the post itself - this is no different. So with that your river would have taken time to start up and it wouldn't have begun to reach me in 1.5 seconds. I know you made a mistake because I made the exact same one which almost got me killed because my opponent exploited that shortcoming.

As for the speed? no shunshin, no shunpo, all I did was run forward 5 meters, and in that time I unleashed my weapon extension which ultimately confirmed your death. You would have a split second to dodge my attack, and given that you had your hands on the ground well. . .you lost.
