[Im guessing you mean twenty meters?]


Akio...didnt quite know where he was. The sky about contained a bunched set of cloudss, a far sunset making a beautiful silhouette of them. Below his feet was grass, lots of it, somewhat tall as it reached above his ankle, and a river spotted with small islands of the same grass. The river could not have been that deep for some elevations of grass to still exist, but they were more than shallow puddles.

Across him was the target, the ninja from mist he was hunting. He already made the presence of his weapons known, kunai, tags, and all. His katana lay strapped on his left hip, and the tracker placed over his right eye told him the opponent was twenty (meters/feet) away. He prepared, simply by walking forwards, intending to close the gap of the two.

[ooc; Twenty feet, not meters.]

Move like a dead body in the tainted waters!

Raising an eyebrow he turned to face his hunter. He had led the samurai all the way to this area for a reason, he knew it very well, or rather knew swamps very well. And as the Samurai grew closer Yuu's hands formed quick hand seals before a mist began to engulf the surrounding area. Dropping low and silently he reached out both hands, each arm now delved elbow length into the water.

"Come Sssamurai, let'sss sssee what you got!"

- Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique) Rank: D x 2 [50] Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu Range: 0 -10 meters Special: Fills a large, 10 meter area with mist which lasts 1 turn. Each time retrained, area of mist expands by 10 more meters and 1 extra turn. Mist blocks out all doujutsu requiring clear visibility. Description: Though very basic, the Hidden Mist Technique allows for the stealthier side of combat to rule. After forming a few simple handseals, the user causes the area surrounding their target to be covered in fog. The low visibility allows the ninja to silently and secretly assassinate their target, as they can move unseen, and if careful, unheard. Domain: Suiton.

[twenty feet translates to almost exactly 6 meters. Though you prolly already know that]

He took but a step before stopped as his opponents hands move and mouth formed words. Their distance was close enough. His hands made a rough 'X' symbol as he both drew his katana with his right, and dug into his packs with his left. With the years of Samurai training, his blade was drawn as the chakra flourished within him. As the blade drew, in less than a second, the chakra extension about it put the ninja well within reach of its sting. Akio performed four slashes before the handsigns could be completed, one diagonal as the blade was drawn, aimed for his torso, and four stabs to his opponents heart area. These would interrupt any ninja trickery he was devising, as well as hard him vitally.

Should the seals be completed, Akio would be indifferent. Because his opponent remained in the same position, his Tracker would indicate that the distance had unchanged.

Rank: D,[C], B, A, S
Type: Defensive / Taijutsu / Kenjutsu
Range: 0 - 5 meters
Special: Allows the swordsman to deflect basic attacks of equal or lower rank, in conjunction with other, more advanced moves within the style.

Unlike its defensive counterpart, this form allows for quicker, more deliberate strikes, making it deadly in the hands of a true master.
Domain: Kenjutsu



Mae Zuki (Front Thrust)[75]
Rank: D, D, D

Special: Rank of strike depends on the user's highest 'Battojutsu' rank. Each time retrained, 'D' ranked damage is stacked.

Special: Can create any simple, non-special weapon shape as an extension of a current weapon. Each rank of the user's Chakra Form Manipulation also briefly extends the weapon's length/size by up to 4 meters before returning to normal size, for a maximum of 20.

Taking the shape of the current weapon in use, the Samurai's pure chakra now coats their weapon, adding a unique versatility to their approach in combat.
Domain: Samurai.

[ooc; How are you trying to prevent something that's already happened? Nvm I'll go along with it.]

Move like a dead body in the tainted waters!

His Retractable Wrist Blade would come into use as he used it to deflect the Samurai's strikes, which seemed less effective since the Samurai was guessing where to strike. Smirking he leapt away from the shinobi, landing with a splash as he stood on small islands of land, still hidden by the mist he slipped into the water silently. Once completely submerged he let life comeinto existance from his arms, deadly vipers spearing forward aiming to attack the man's legs. The first few would leap from his left, hissing, drawing his attention to them as the others silently, helped by the hissing of the others, attempted to bite his left leg, where they would inject venom. Though the remaining ones would seek out to constrict his breathing by wrapping themselves around his neck, as such the Samurai would have three groups of snakes to counter, with the first surely being the only one he had knowledge of...surely.

- Kirigakure no Jutsu (Hidden Mist Technique)
Rank: D x 2 [50]
Type: Supplementary / Suiton Ninjutsu
Range: 0 -10 meters
Special: Fills a large, 10 meter area with mist which lasts 1 turn. Each time retrained, area of mist expands by 10 more meters and 1 extra turn. Mist blocks out all doujutsu requiring clear visibility.
Description: Though very basic, the Hidden Mist Technique allows for the stealthier side of combat to rule.

On the final turn, victim is paralyzed and falls unconscious. Death occurs only after learning 'S' ranked version.
Description: Snakes are one of the most venomous creatures of the animal kingdom, an important attribute for survival and dominance. In the case of the Kagehebi, this trait has not been overlooked. With intense training, the clan member can learn to produce a uniquely strong poison whnich can be added to their clan jutsu in order to leave their victims helpless.
Drawback: Kage- Hebi.

- Senei Ta-Jashu (Multiple Hidden Shadow Snake Hands)
Rank: C
Type: Offensive / Clan Ninjutsu
Range: 0 - 50 meters

Initially 5 snakes come forth, with 5 more added for a maximum of 20 for every rank gained within 'Way of the Snake'.
Description: An advaced version of Senei Jashu, the Kagehebi now controls a massive amount of snakes at once in order to subdue their opponent. As before, once the user's hand is extended in the direction of their target, a torrent of snakes erupt from the sleeve and manifest onto the chosen target. Once extended the snakes can wrap around and bite into the target to hold and bind them.
Domain: Kage-Hebi. Nan-Kaizou 'C'. Must know Senei Jashu.

[I attempted to interrupt your action, I didnt ignore it, it hadn't "already happen", but Im letting it go for the fact that there are other problems.


First, how are you seeing me through the mist? Your technique doesnt guarantee your vision, and you have no means of seeing me. The only reason I know where to strike is because I have a Tracker to help, but because your vison is nearly 0 along with mine, each sword strike is striking basically unseen.

I also barely require need to guess where you are. There is water around. No sound of movement and most importantly, the distance measure on the Tracker stayed the same, confirming you stayed in place. I can make pretty accurate strike based on that.

Also, because you cant see, each strike is a surprise. I doubt you have time to draw your wrist blade to defend, because it needs actual activation to occur before my strike touches you. Your reaction, and activation would need to occur in MILLISECONDS.

Not to mention, your blocking the chakra extension of my katana with a steel/iron BLADE? Im not 100% on this, but chakra is not physical, thus cannot be blocked via a blade.]

[Mamushi]

The chakra extension is solid... from your logic, it wouldn't be capable of cutting anything becuase it is made of chakra, and thus useless, because you Samurai are only worth as much as your swords. It can't be blocked because you, Tyro, used an actual technique, worth 3 D ranks of damage, and he tried to block it with a kunai, during handseals for the mist jutsu.

[Tyro]

[Thanks Hiromasa. I was thinking it may be like the Chakra Scalpel from Med, that does internal damage, but this hasn't been addressed. I may put it into a question thread later]

[Sharkk]

[Eh, cause Mist shinobi LIVE in the mist and know how to deal with it? And true, guess I messed up on the blocking didn't read his technique, oh well chop it up as a victory for the Samurai]
