In the arena, there stood two combatants; both likely willing to kill the other if need be. Reisuke, an individual who hailed from the legendary Aburame clan of Konoha, was at the southern part of the arena, standing motionless fifty meters away from his opponent. His arms were crossed, yet he would still be prepared to strike the moment his opponent made their move. For now, though, he’d intently stare down his opponent, carefully observing their visage.

Standing across the great divide which separated both fighters was a beast disguised as a human being. He'd been born into the world of men but his humanity had been abandoned long ago. What remained was nothing but a stout-hardy vessel, appropriated by something unmistakably evil, driven by the vehemence of the negative soul trapped within. This sinister presence lurked behind white eyes that announced the calling card of another Konoha favorite, the Hyῡga. Blessed or cursed, admired or bemoaned, their was no disputing their power or skill and Oni had vast amounts of both. His image was shocking to those in attendance but perhaps his opponent would be able to see beyond his menacing appearance and deliver some enjoyment to the beast.

If Reisuke wanted to win, he would have to act swiftly. Despite the significant size difference between him and his opponent, Reisuke didn’t fret. The insects living within his body would come forth and while some would continue forward, most would gather under his feet; simultaneously lifting Reisuke into the air and circling his opponent to the right. Because of their superior speed, it wouldn’t take long for them to close distance and Reisuke to finish his opponent off. But for now, he would perform hand seals and by the time both swarms converged fifteen meters, a clone of himself would appear from the swarm of insects that continued forward. Instead of stopping, they’d form during their movement and switch from crawling to sprint. Afterward, he’d perform hand seals once more to create five false attackers. They would emerge from the ground; running around their opponent from roughly ten meters away. Reisuke would perform hand seals again, and wait.

It wasn't only the size of the two men that determine the outcome of the battle; their speed and their ability to capitalize on both short and long range stratagems would play a much larger role. Just as the kikaichû began to spill forth from their keeper, the eyes of the man across the arena changed from their natural shade of black and were illuminated by an other-worldly transparency. His body also underwent a change in the form of unlocking the first pair of chakra gates. Reisuke thought that by acting swiftly he could alter the course of events which might take place but he would soon learn that the title of swift belonged to his opponent. Oni watched as his opponent sought to distance himself from the battlefield but nothing would be accomplished by only raising himself five feet into the air (non-specified).

Oni didn't need to be invited to battle, his body and his instinct for bloodshed carried him forward in the direction of his prey. Moving at what amounted to thrice his normal speed, Oni decreased the space separating himself and the Aburame to nothing in less than two seconds and was able to pass between the two converging swarms unmolested. From behind the floating island, about five feet back, a shape would merge with the skyline to the rear of Reisuke. Oni had propelled himself into the air through the power of his trunk-like pillars he called legs and, as he was passing directly behind his opponent he loosed his offensive.

He sword came surging forth with the goal of puncturing Reisuke's spinal column, just below the third and fourth cervical vertebrae, but that would be the final act in his chain of attack. The first and second would be aimed for the muscle groupings along his Reisuke's outer arms, three to four inches above the elbow, and the third and fourth would target the location on his outer thighs that rested three to four inches above the knee. Each muscle group, if struck, would be unable to assist Reisuke in moving the specified limb and would likely result in paralysis.

  My Supplementary Techniques came online simultaneously as your bugs emerged.
  
  As you cast your clone tech, I moved from where I had been to behind you, then jumped into the air, and attacked in the span of 3.5 seconds. My attack would have taken 1 sec normally, but as I am currently 3X as fast, we'll say my post only took 3.83 seconds which wouldn't give you the time to complete the clone tech you were working on.

If Reisuke’s opponent thought he’d be able to claim victory that easily, he would be greatly disappointed. Despite what he may have thought, Reisuke wasn’t the type to sit around and do nothing. And because his opponent had made their move, Reisuke would surely have to counter. He wasn’t able to see his foe, but that was the least of his worries, as he didn’t need sight for what he was about to do. The moment his opponent faded from his view, Reisuke had leaped forward and downward in a turning motion, positioning his back towards the ground. During this, he’d seize his flute and begin to play a haunting tune. It would most likely paralyze his opponent midair (since that’s where he’d be by the time Reisuke did what he did).

But it wouldn’t stop there, no. As the Genjutsu took effect, halting his opponent’s movements and tearing him apart mentally, the insects that had been carrying Reisuke would split, though staying connected: the first half moving under Reisuke to break his fall and the second half moving under his opponent to break their fall. However, it would be as friendly as it seemed, for they would begin to consume whatever chakra he had been using for his technique, hopefully leaving him powerless and giving Reisuke everything that had been taken. Meanwhile, and simultaneously, Reisuke would be carried ten meters away from his opponent; putting his flute away and immediately performing hand seals for yet another technique. It wouldn’t be activated immediately, but with decorated kunai bonded by the threads of fate, if his opponent had managed to break hold, he’d find himself finished quickly.

The man who could best Oni in close quarters combat had not yet been born and Reisuke had just placed himself squarely in the kill zone. Through luck, or by some unknown genius, the man had removed himself from the path of Oni's initial attack prompting the man to cancel the lightning-quick strikes he'd originally planned to deliver. But evading the juggernaut's blade for a second time would be nigh impossible; in fact there would be little to no chance for any redeeming strategy now that Reisuke was falling through the air.

As the man was turning, perhaps the wielder of an eerie precognizance, he would only be giving Oni a better view of his eventual targets. Concurrent to the man's midair twisting, a second build up of both chakra and killing intent was brewing within the rippling vessel that occupied the airspace above the Aburame. The Genjutsu, mighty as it was, held Oni for no more than a millisecond before it was undone by the release of the Third Celestial Gate. The massive influx of chakra freed his mind and body, returning his mobility before he even noticed an interruption and his arm surged forth to deliver the same attack he'd originally intended to use.

The first stab would pierce through Reisuke's abdomen [at about chest level] resulting in a severed spine, possible damage to both lungs, and a nicked aorta. The second would disconnect his head from his shoulders and put an end to the mysterious tune at the same time. The third was aimed to puncture the femoral artery which would cause exsanguination, or at least a lethal drop in blood pressure, and quite possibly take off the leg. The fourth would enter Reisuke's body just below the waist to allow the man's intestines to spill out, and the final strike would sink into the man's face millimeters above the bridge of his nose. It wouldn't have had a chance to fly away and so a headless corpse would land near the mutilated skull as the now masterless bugs were left to their own devices.

[1]
[3] Seimon (Gate of Life)
Rank: C+C+C+C+C
Type: Supplementary / Nintaijutsu / Kinjutsu
Range: Self
Special: See subjutsu. All effects of previous gates are passively carried over. Lasts for one turn, plus one more each time retrained. Intense flow of chakra is able to disrupt regular Genjutsu 'B' ranked and lower. Once activated, the user moves at 4x their normal speed, to the point a Stage-3 Sharingan has trouble seeing the user (+400%). Upon deactivation, fatigue settles and lasts as long as Gate was active, yields intense strain that makes moving hard, and restricts user to Taijutsu 'B' ranked and under for the remainder of the fatigue.
Description: Located within the spinal cord, the third gate, the Gate of Life, begins to prepare the body for extreme movement and muscle destruction. However, the user's body is left intact for the most part, as this new level brings the user mostly benefits. A notable feature of this gate is that the user's skin suddenly begins to turn red.

[2]Senshi 1 Mirrioun! (Million Man Stab)
Rank: B+B+B+B
Type: Offensive / Taijutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Stamina: High
Special: Delivers up to 2 stabs per use, plus 1 more each time retrained. Attacks are delivered at blinding speed, and regardless of amount, take up only a single technique/action.
Description: By unconsciously feeding their chakra into any bladed weapon, the user will rush forward, unleashing their weapon in a stabbing motion with the tip to their target. The chakra unleashes in order to increases appendage speed, and with much training, the user can find themselves delivering many strikes in a single instance.

[3]I asked Genbu and he told me that with my technique being B Ranked, it would enable my sword to penetrate C Ranked equipment. Not to mention the three active Chakra Gates. My win?

There was no doubt in Reisuke’s mind that his opponent was fast, but his next technique would be faster. If his opponent hadn’t waited to respond until his illusion kicked in, Reisuke might have not been able to do what he was about to do. However, since he did, the moment Reisuke was caught by his insects and his opponent began their strikes, he’d quickly replace himself with the insects under him. Although his opponent was able to deliver multiple strikes in a single instance, that wouldn’t be enough to kill all the insects before him and because this was the case, the ones that did live would cover him during his stabs. Meanwhile, the real Reisuke would appear ½ a meter behind him with wire bound to his hand and he would attempt to wrap it around his opponent’s neck. It was true that the man before him had become quite fast, but if his strength wasn’t augmented, he’d find himself being strangled by Reisuke; placing his knees on his opponent’s back and yanking in his direction. Not only that, but because his insects had consumed his opponent, after making contact for no more than two seconds, they would begin to drain a very high amount of chakra for however long they remained attached to him. This would most likely end his opponent’s mysterious enhancing technique and cause him to submit to the pull around his neck. Hopefully, this would finish his opponent off and as they fell to the ground, the other half of his insects that had intended to catch his opponent would instead reposition themselves under Reisuke to break their fall.
