"Now!"

Hotarubi yelled within her mind as she saw the girl finish her seals, and hold a odd sign, pointed at her. She didn't know what it was, but she wasn't going to find out. Inhaling air, she aimed and let loose towards the missing Yamanaka girl. "Fuuton: Shinkūgyoku no jutsu!" From the masked girls lips, she shot forth compressed bullet of wind, the havens gales were commanded at her front, and she'd offer no reprieve for her enemies. No mercy was given to the prey from the hunter.

Hotarubi had fired several bullets of air towards Saori at great speeds and with speed on her side, her bullets would hit Saori indiscriminately all over, thus hopefully canceling out her jutsu, but after the last bullet left her lips, Hotarubi was worried about how to go back on the offensive. She had not seen anything come in contact with her to cripple her as she was, so maybe is was a genjutsu, but the only she could escape was by pain, and it had to be a lot to dispel such a spell.

Not even seconds after pondering the thought she palmed a kunai, flicking it so that its sharp metal faced her shoulder. It was going to hurt, but she prepared herself for teh worst an without hesitation she plunged the the kunai into her shoulder, dragging it across her skin, till hot fire ravaged her arm, and blood poured forth; however no sound came from behind her lips, oh how she wanted to yelp, but she held it back. Such actions were unneeded of a shinobi.

Hotarubi could feel her legs once, more and also the stinging of her arm, but what was important was that she could now move, and so would utilize shunpo, flicking out of sight, and than curving so that she was five meters away from the silver haired girl, and with the same kunai she wounded herself with, she'd swing it, and let loose the wind chakra that had gathered within in it. "Fuuton: Kamaitachi no jutsu" the oppressive funnel of wind would seek to uplift Saori and violently thrash her onto the ground.

(Talking inside her head) "So that was her plan?"

She was a deceptive, little girl Hotarubi thought as she witnessed the fiery explosion that engulfed her simple clone. Good thing she didn't plunge head first into it, nerves were given to humans for a reason, and now Hotarubi knew that. Thanks to the the clone, Hoatrubi now knew where the Yamanaka missing shinobi was. This was due to the glare from the sun, that shined down, hitting the wire just right so that it shimmered brilliantly with an amber gleam. Following it she saw the girl switch positions, it was a smart move, but sadly, she did so a second too late.

Sneakily stalking the girl, Hotarubi put herself within five meters of the girl, her body low to the tree branch so she wouldn't be seen. With wind style chakra gathering in her chokuto, Hotarubi hung from the branch and than dropped to the earth below with a audible thud. Swing the serrated sword, she let loose a tornado of wind, sent charging at the girl, with it the sword would be let go, plunging itself within the basin of a nearby tree. However Hotarubi was not finished yet, her hands clasped together, weaving hand-seals. Something big was coming, ready to clear way. No more hiding.

Inhaling deeply, she let loose a wide cone like gale from her lips. "Fuuton: Daitoppa no jutsu!" The intense gale would knock down, toppling dozens of trees within a thirty meter radius. This hiding and running wasn't something Hotarubi liked to do, she preferred her combat up close and personal...very personal. The sounds of cracking wood, would rang out, as they'd hit the ground with a thunderous crashing noise. As for the girl, she'd have to escape the twenty meter tornado that wished to suck her up. Finally the battle would start as Hotarubi looked around the flattened area of stumps and makeshifts logs.

Domain: Fuuton.

Blurs of golden ran rampant through the forest's of Hi no kuni, a mask covered Hoatrubi's freckled face, hiding her identity. The mask was all white, with two red stripes crossing over the eyes vertically with Konoha's insignia embedded within the forehead part. She felt silly wearing such a thing, but it was required in her line of work. Other than that she wore her usual attire, bright red track jacket, matching cuffed up pants that stop well above her ankles and her own Hi-ate was still worn proudly around her right arm.

"Now, my target was last sighted in Hi no Kuni, traveling with two other shinobi-both male, so this could be dangerous, but than again, the pays gonna be sweet!"

Licking her lips beneath her mask, Hoatrubi began to pick up her pace, taking long, leaps from branch to branch, wasting no effort. It wasn't many times you'd get a target right in your backyard, and Hotrubi wasn't about to let this chance slip past her. Her target was a small girl, with long white hair, who'd recently defected from Kumogakure. She was a genin, a medic and also belonged to the Yamanaka clan. Not else was known about her, but if Hoatrubi could bag this one, she'd pocket a pretty penny.

The debut of Konoha's kirasshu would be a big one,and her name would be widespread throughout the five shinobi nations. With unparalleled tracking prowess, Hotarubi was making ground, and the silvered hair girl would be unaware of her new found stalker. Finally after an hour or so of gathering some info from the backwater villages clustered around the area where she was last sighted Hotarubi came upon some foot prints. Jumping down to the open area, Hotarubi sunk to the ground, her fingers tracing the grooves.

"These aren't that old, I'm getting close..."

Knowing she was hot on this Nuke-nin's trial, she took the the treetops with audible footfalls, her maple eyes scanning down below for evident movement. After a few more minutes of running and jumping a thinning, wicked smile flashed upon Hotarubi's lips. "Finally..." Jumping down from her perch, she reached for two kunai, tossing them with adept accuracy at the oblivious girl, following up she'd drawn her specialized chokuto, holding it high, its serrated metal gleamed beneath the sun. If she didn't think or move quick, she'd be split in two!

[2] kunai

Oruhane (Lit; Folding wing)
rank B
type Chakra
special Oruhane is able to be folded open, due to the hinges crafted into it at its creation. This unique feature only takes a small flick of the risk to perform with a minuscule amount of chakra to pop the hinges unloose. Not only is Oruhane able to function as a blade, but also as a shield.
description At first glance Oruhane looks like your ordinary fat sword, folded many times over and over so that it has it thick, fat appearance. With one end sharp to a tea, and the other dulled for heavy, blunt impact. Once the special feature is unloosed the blade will appear as wide as the human body, resembling a meat cleaver. Although Oruhane is shorter than your typical claymore or heavy sword, but its weight is still the same as one.
Cost: 10,000

Hakane (Lit; the sound caused by flapping wings)
rank C, B, A, S
type Chakra
range 0-5 meters
chakra Mid
special With each rank learned, the amount of force behind each swing increases by fifty pounds with S rank the max amount of weight behind it. Due to the amount of force crashing down this can only be used one time per post, plus another with the addition of a new rank. Also, by swinging it akin to a baseball bat, it can reflect projectile jutsu of equal rank caliber because of the force behind its swing.
description By allowing chakra to perforate the special hinges made within, with a single swing said chakra is propelled outwards, opposite of where the swing is aimed for, thus increasing the amount of force behind each swing of Oruhane. When used its said that it resembles the sound a bird flapping its wings. The amount of force behind a single swing at the start is roughly one hundred pounds of force.
domain Oruhane

With a body tuck, she flung herself from her upside down position, with her forehead level with the branch she grasped it tightly with her palms. Taking a moment she adjusted herself and inhaled deeply, ready to continue her practice. Using her upper body solely, she keep her legs close together as she pulled herself up, once her neck was level with the branch, she ease down slowly, and repeat this process. The first few were no sweet, but as she eased her way into two hundred, the physical burn was evident in her oxygen lacking muscles. With each new rep, her arms seared with weariness.

"Two hundred and six, two hundred and seven, two hundred and eight, two hundred and nine, two hundred and ten..." Hotarubi's goal was three hundred even, but with things as they were her resolve began to weaken, as each rep made her just want to stop and lay flat on her back. The intensity that her arms burned with was great, and each time she brought herself up, she gave faint grunts of exasperation. Sweat continued rolling down her face as she produced more and more with each new rep, until soon she was coming up upon the final stretch. Keeping her eyes shut, she'd just imagine she were in the land of snow or something, but even such optimistic, imaginative thoughts wouldn't keep her body cool. It just resisted her.

"Two hundred eighty nine, two hundred ninety..." Jaw tight, she faltered a moment during the next rep and couldn't bring herself up. With one eye shut, she clenched her teeth together as she exhaled, summoning all the remaining force she had lift to exert she began to continue her pull-ups without reprieve until finally she had but one final one left to complete. A low grunt left her lips as she finally brought herself up and than she let go, falling to the ground back first, she breathed in and out rapidly, her stomach elevating and deflating itself with each breath. Laid out, she ignored the throbbing of her back, for the burning of her muscles was what pained her the most, her hands were hard from gripping the bark of the branch with such intensity that they were left with soft callouses.

"I'll just close my eyes for a few moments..."

As her hand collided where she desired, the flat of it knocking him aback, Hotarubi would smile wickedly. Even with his arcmor, he'd still feel the toll of her B ranked attack but she wasn't finished even if the world was twisting and turning rapidly she knew he was flying back, roughly five meters. Whilst he would began to tumble back, she'd have wind chakra charged in her dominant arm and swing it. With twenty meters working for her of wind, she'd let loose the wind God's fury upon him with no mercy.

"Kamaitachi no jutsu!"

The follow up attack was fluid, like poetry taken a swept by motion, he'd be offered no moment of reprieve as he'd find the funnel of wind, raging his way, and with all luck unless it was simply a most luckyday for him, he'd be taken up to the heavens only to have been dropped harshly back on the ground. Shit had hit the fan and her vision was totally screwed over, sucking her teeth she utilized a backwards shunpo, her heels sliding upon the earth.

'No good, I could die like this...fuck'

Deciding it was best to bail out for now, she'd palm four kunai, each baring a ivory tail, she'd throw them in front of her, it didn't matter where'd they go and once they hit the ground a single seal was formed cause a rippling explosion. Whilst this happened Hotarubi would utilize all her remaining shunpo to escape. She knew his smug face and if she saw it again she'd punch it in. 'Can't believe im running, I swear, I'll kill him next time.' Still under the influence of his genjutsu she'd make her way back, but even so she was born of these lands and thus knew them, blinded or not.

You know that saying of don't mess with an un-caged tiger? Most followed what common sense dictated, but others weren't so astute. And those people were the ones who still poked fun and ridiculed it, but thats where the difference lay, a free tiger would've teared you a new ass, and thats exactly what Hortarubi planned. Her freckled face was tight with tension, her jaw, coiling like a snake as her brows furrowed.

(clenching fist) "Is that so....?"

Through her teeth she spoke, anger clearly showing as her malice pervaded the area. Sure she wasn't as endowed as most woman, sure she was a little ruff around the edges, and sure her chest was as flat as an ironing board, but to blatantly disrespect her? It was something Hotarubi wouldn't take laying down, she wouldn't be satisfied until her fist smashed in that smug face of his. 'Fuck it!'

Blonde hair jumped frantic for but a mere moment as her body propelled itself forward without warning, her lean, tense body the embodiment of a true Taijutsu practitioner. Abruptly she'd flicker back into sight, her momentum swaying her red track jacket as she'd appear at his righter-most side- a hairs breath from him, her palm, charged with chakra as she would try to land a square hit upon his lower rib cage. She wouldn't stop there, if he was taken aback by her frontal assault he could bet his ass more was surely to come. Piss off the lion, it bites your head off!

Cleanly!
