“Right, Taizo time to teach you another of the basic punches, this one is called the hook, it’s normally thrown with the lead hand although it can be thrown from the rear as well for a more powerful shoot. Seeing as you can use both the south paw and orthodox stance we are going to use this technique from the south paw, ok? Now get into your stance and I will run through the motions with you.”

Taizo adjusted himself so that he had his right foot forward acting as his lead foot; his left foot was behind it pointing of in a ninety degree angle. he was up on the ball of his rear foot so that he could move around easily, if any punch was thrown he move his head and body out of the way faster like this. His chin was tucked in at shoulder level his eyes watching the opponents chest, so that he could see a attack coming. His hands were raised high with his gloves either side of his jaw the right one was slightly in front of his left. His elbows were close to his ribs to protect himself from any body shots that maybe thrown at him.

“that looks great Taizo, now from here you want to rotate your hips and whip your arm around so that its almost parallel to the ground, it wants to hit the opponents ribs or chin.” Taizo was ready for this it was only a basic punch but he new that it would be a bread and butter punch fights could be won or lost by his knowledge of this attack. Taizo rotated back on his right side this small change would give the appearance that his range was shorter than what it really was and thus draw the opponent close to where the hook would have more power.

When Taizo was in a suitable position he released his shoulder and hip pushing them back in the direct they had came from, they twist around using his left hip as an axis to generate torque. His arm cut though the air like a hot knife through butter, rotating as it when so that his palm would be facing down at the ground. The glove finally reacted full extension, if somebody had been there the punch would have been fired though there jaw, the reason for this was if you punch past a target you gain more force.

Just as predicted an enemy made an appearance, as the room was so large Taizo predicted that it could take a few moments for his enemy to spot him. By channelling chakra through his feet Taizo had gain the ability to stick to surfaces, he made use of this by climbing up on to the wall. Once he was on the wall he started his advance at a moderate pace (three meters per second) in an arc shape. By moving in this way it allowed Taizo to maintain the distance of fivety meters from his foe instead it just increased vertical distance and decreased the horizontal distance that separated them.

As Taizo began to move, he started a chain of for a technique that utilised his clan’s ability to form crows. After only two and a half seconds the requirements had been met and a total of ten birds appeared two of which were located at the knee height of the enemy, they themselves only fifteen cm away from the knees of the foe. The target these birds were aiming for was the tendons in the boy’s knee, in an attempt to damage them with their beaks resulting in limiting the enemy’s movements.

Another bird formed in the boy’s blind spot fifteen cm from the neck. It attempted to strike at the cervical division of the vertebrae with its beak. Another bird formed ten cm from the enemy’s throat. It attempted to strike the Adams apple with its beak. The other six birds formed five meters behind enemy, so that they wouldn’t be seen. This collection of birds attempted to fly forwards, and strike at the vertebrae of the boy’s back each one targeting a separate area to avoid grouping up and to increase overall damage. It had only been five seconds since Taizo had started to move but already he had ascended 14.77 meters from the floor and closed the horizontal distance between himself and his foe to 47.77 meters. All of Taizo’s crows attempted to move at their maximum speed which was that of a well thrown kunai (twelve and a half meters per second)

Sanzengarasu no Jutsu (Scattering One Thousand Crows Technique) x1
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary / Secret Technique
Range: See special!
Chakra: Mid
Special: Crows can exist as far as the eye can see, or until the user leaves the thread, and take no additional chakra for upkeep. Up to 10 are summoned initially, with 10 more each time this jutsu is re-learned for a maximum of 100 crows. Crows move almost as fast as kunai, and maintain a mental chakra connection to the user for the sake of communication.
Description: The base behind the Akegarasu is their control and use of crows in battle, displayed well with this technique. After forming a few simple seals, the crow king will call upon a murder of crows to fly around and envelop the target, causing confusion with their dark forms and quick movement. From here, either a comrade or the user can move within the flock wearing dark clothes and wielding a dark weapon almost undetected. With the target distracted by the crows, the ninja can strike more efficiently. Finally, the mass of crows can obscure any retreating ninja, as the crows are massive in numbers and composed of the user's chakra. When no longer needed, the murder of crows will simply puff away in smoke.
Domain: Akegarasu.

Movement? How interesting, this wasn’t a massive blow to Taizo’s plan but it would make a minor difference, he would note the object being raised to the opponent’s mouth, as he started to move, he would be hit by some form of binding technique rope holding on to his arms and legs. This guy must have thought Taizo was born yesterday, how could anything like this possibly be really he would bite down hard on his tongue without hesitation, the resulting pain would shatter the illusionary technique which had stopped the ninja in his tracks for but a moment (around a second).

As a reaction Taizo instantly started to launch an offensive of his own his hands raced through the seals required for his technique, as he ran forward at the enemy. It would only take 2.5 seconds for the requirements to be met, a total of 10 birds would appear two of which would be at the knee height of the enemy, they themselves only 15cm away from the knees of the enemy. The perfect form of attack, the enemy’s hands were raised holding some kind of item, and his vision was concentrated on Taizo the chance that he would notice the birds before taking another step at such a high rate of motion was extremely unlikely, the birds would attempt to move forward at the enemy’s knee combining their own speed, with the boys rate of movement for a more destructive result aiming to damage the tendon in the knee and limit the boys movements.

Another bird would form in the boys blind spot 15 cm from the neck, its objective was to strike the cervical division of the vertebrae, its speed, was that of a kunai. The other seven birds would form behind the enemy five meters away, so that they wouldn’t be seen.

Taizo wasn’t blind so he would have noticed the bugs that advanced towards him at a considerable rate, lucky the bugs had started together in condensed pack. As he completing his crow technique, the bugs would be only 30 cm from Taizo and the enemy only seven meters away how perfect, Taizo would use his ace shunpo. An explosive burst of speed would allow him to advance forward towards the enemy, his movement carrying him into his preferred combat range regardless of if the enemy had taken the crows to the knee, leaving his chest 0.75 meters from his enemy. This in itself would put him at least 6.25 meters away from the swam of bugs, there compact method of travel would no doubt inhibit the speed at which they could turn around and chase after the mist ninja this was the signal for the other crows which would advance at their rapid pace.

Allowing him a window of opportunity to strike the enemy down, not wanting to waste any time Taizo drew his sword in one flowing attack, no movement wasted in an attempt to strike through the enemy’s ribcage and destroy his heart. Taizo had mastered the Battojutsu art form, so needless to say speed was on his side. The enemy had foolishly sent all of his bugs on an offensive attack, leaving himself with what seemed to be an almost non-existent defence. Regardless of how this attack went Taizo wouldn’t be as foolish to believe his window of opportunity was coming to a rapid end, so he would prepare for his escape. Unfortunately for his opponent, the crows that had been 5 meters behind him, would most likely make contact with his back, given that they had been traveling at a speed of 12.5 meters per second. These crows were aimed at the spinal column each one attacking slightly higher than the one before it, if all went to plan the crows would collide with the enemy at exactly the same time, causing catastrophic damage.

In the last seven years a lot had changed. Taizo had changed almost everything from his fighting style to even the way he dressed, but one thing that hadn’t changed was his lust for blood. He had broken into a dojo looking for a scroll containing a powerful Taijutsu technique, so far he had encountered no resistance it had seemed that everyone was either off site or simply asleep.

According to Taizo’s information source, the room was right up ahead, the ninja would slide the door open and enter the room his treasure awaited. It was at this moment when he discovered he had been deceived. Taizo had entered a large room 100 meters³ in size. It seemed that his dark attire would be of no use to him in this room, the bright lights left no room for shadows. It seemed that he had been pulled into a trap, Taizo suspected that he would more than likely be required to fight his way out of this room.

Taizo moved to the top right corner of the room, seeing as he had entered through the door close by this would only be a small walk of just under 50 meters to his right. Once he arrived he made sure his back was facing the wall this way he couldn’t be flanked, as there was only 30 cm between him and the walls. Now where would the enemies if any enter from? The only conceivable place would be from the door he had just entered through, or the other door directly opposite on the other side of the room, as far as he could tell there was no other options as there was no windows in the room just artificial light.
