OOC — I've got no issues aside from the fact of the S-ranked defence. Could you just link me to it just to clarify it? Other than that, I'm alright with what you did. Also you're spamming a shitload of moves haha...

A moment after he had attempted to impale the puppets head with the rock spear, Waka was met by the force of the puppeteers bugs. How had he not been able to see them before? He was immediately pounced on by them and could feel them slowly drain his chakra away by the second. He had to do something, but what? Waka yelled out to his partner "Flaka, help me!" But Flaka had concerns of his own.

Flaka had not expected the head of the puppet to suddenly jolt back so quickly. Yet his semi-circular cut that he had performed before had aimed toward the direction of his opponent. This meant that although the strike would have hit the ground rather than the puppet, the area in which the puppet was now positioned had a stream of horizontal flame headed toward it. The B-ranked damage on his slice would have then overpowered the C-ranked flame from the puppet.

This would mean that the slashed flames would travel through the stream of fire, edging toward the puppet itself where it had just positioned itself. As it released the string of pressurised gas in order to shoot out the flame, no doubt Flaka's swing of fire would press against this gas. This had the opportunity to run along the stream, back toward the exiting area on the puppet. Eventually leading into the puppet and toward the tank of gas that lay within.

This would mean that the puppet potentially had the ability to implode from within. The tank filled with gas was no doubt highly flammable. But Flaka was unaware of that. All he could see next was a sudden flash of light. He quickly leaped back away from the flash with anxiety rushing through his veins. But that was no use. Positioned directly behind the duo was Fukashi who had manoeuvred his way around the battlefield.

If the puppet was to explode, no doubt it would cause life-threatening damage to either Sand Ninja as well as Fukashi. Even as Johann stood fifteen metres away, he would still feel quite an impact from the destruction. This explosion would have the ability to send shards of crystal shrapnel in all directions. But of course all the puppeteer would see would be a blanket of fire combined with a flash of light. But soon fireworks would begin.

Assuming, just as he had assumed before, that his puppet could handle the flames, there would be no real reason to withdraw the puppet from battle. With Fukashi closing in closer to the pair as well, he would also find no real reason to withdraw his own presence from the area. With the flash of light directed toward both Waka and Flaka, Fukashi being behind them would also be caught within the illumination.

Fireworks.

— Pretty much I read over the properties of your flame thrower Kama. It says that it channels out pressurised gas from wherever you're shooting it out from which leads into your puppets body toward a tank of fuel. If you've ever seen fuel explode, no doubt its going to be able to shred through even a crystal defence.

— In my post before this I said that I was cutting in a semi-circular motion that would extend a stream of flame toward the area of my enemies. With your puppet moving it's neck back, and your body following through, you'd be headed right toward where I've extended these flames to.

— As Pwn comes up behind the pair of Sand Ninja, he's going to be hit from the blinded light that Kama has projected. Meaning he's going to have no idea what's about to happen.

— Potentially; Pwn's character could possibly be killed along with the two Sand Ninja. This is also going to rape the flurry of bugs you've sent toward Waka. As I suggested in the thread, going off past experiences in this thread you're not going to think anything is wrong with your puppet taking on a flame simply because you're under the impression that your defence is impenetrable.

— MIGHT NEED A BM NOW LEWL

There was a knock at the door. The apprentice had returned, and hopefully this time there was only one of them. The old man was growing tired of the young punks today. Of course this was just due to his old age getting to him more and more. Even the smallest of things pissed him off now. Grumbling to himself, he rose from his seat and moved across to the door. Light filled the workshop as the door was opened to greet the boy.

Good. So he had returned alone. But where were the rocks? That question was answered next as the boy jumped back, revealed a scroll and summoned a set of stones in front of the old man. The old man clapped as if he wasn't impressed. "You wont be able to use all of your ninja magic as a craftsman you know." He held his worn hands up for him to see. Hard work was the fundamental idea of being a craftsman.

"I suppose you took initiative though," the old man trailed off, "and us craftsmen are all about being quick, imaginative thinkers." The boy had done something right, he guessed. Rūlo glanced down to the rocks, inspecting each of their sizes. They were the right sizes. "There is a watering well around the corner. Take these rocks around there and clean all of them one by one. This time, no magic. By the time we're finished you're not going to be able to feel your hands."

The old man smiled to the boy, walking back into the workshop. The tasks were boring of course. This was to separate the dedicated from the lazy. Craftsmen weren't always handed fun jobs such as constructing powerful swords and sets of armour, especially the mere squires. When you were an assistant craftsman it was the worst. You had to sit there, listen, and do what you were told to do. Would the boy really last until the end of the day?

Rūgo was seated at one of the many anvils within his workshop. Hammering away at a heated sword, he noticed that the man still stood in the doorway. From within the workshop, he could see toward the light clearly. One of the two figures had seemingly drooped down to the ground, removed from all signs of life. What kind of game were these punks trying to pull? Did they not take the old man seriously?

"Look, I made my instructions very clear," the old man tiredly called out toward the door. "I only want to be teaching one of you. It's not difficult. One stay, the other one go." It was not hard to understand where the man was coming from. He had aged throughout his recent years, and had grown quite grumpy from his lively younger days. Rūgo was always one to remain in control. When people did not listen to him, or went against his wishes, he got mad.

Bang. Bang. He hammered the metallic sword once again. Looking out with his peripheral vision, he noted that the student still stood in the doorway. Rūgo quickly dropped the hammer and proceeded back across toward the door. What was wrong with this lad? Didn't he understand that he needed to do what he was told. "Maybe you were the wrong choice. You ask too many questions, yet do nothing. I wont ask you again." The old man slammed the door on the hopeful.

It seemed as if you had already lost favour with the old man. It would be best if you could try to get back on his good side. After all the less he liked you, the less he would teach. Sounds of hammering continued to chime through the workshop after the door had been shut. Right now, the future of the events that occurred today now lay in the hands of the potential apprentice. Could he learn to follow instructions before it was too late?

The two of them had landed, comrades ready to strike revenge into the hearts of the Stone ninja. With the pair of them already distracted fighting each other, it would be highly unlikely that they would've noticed the arrival of the Sand ninja until they landed with a thud on the ground nearby. The seals had already been performed. All that remained was for the techniques to be released upon their foes. The fight was about to begin.

Waka stood in position with his hands locked in place. To the side of him on his right stood his comrade, Flaka, also prepared to launch his own technique. Ahead of them, Waka realised that their presence had already been noticed. It was time to unleash the wrath of the Sand upon these two Stone shinobi. "Stomping Monkey's Quake Technique," Waka muttered as he stomped his right foot on the ground. Instantly, the quake hit.

Along the range of twenty metres, the earthquake rippled through the ground below. With the two Stone ninja and his comrade within this range, it would be highly likely that they were caught within this rippling effect. The effect of the technique itself would impact their movement speeds, as well as disorientate them for a brief period. But it did not end there. With Waka's technique performed, Flaka immediately took the spotlight by performing his own.

"Great Fireball," he spoke quickly whilst exhaling from his lungs. With the exhale came the shot of the two fireballs toward either target. It would be good to see how they would react. The incoming puppet, although that could not be seen, would possibly be clipped by the fireballs if it continued to rush toward the Sand ninja. Nevertheless, the disorientation of the earthquake combined with the fireballs would create quite a messy situation for the Stone ninja.

An instant later the two Sand shinobi were temporarily blinded by the sudden flash of light. With the puppet now directly ahead of them it would be more than likely that it would've been struck by the incoming fireballs. The earthquake's disorientation surely would have shook the puppeteer around a bit, possibly preventing for an efficient use of the puppetry technique in order to manipulate the puppet. But surprises could always occur.

The second Stone ninja on the other hand was busily flustering through a long series of hand seals. The amount of hand seals would surely have taken a while to perform, perhaps leaving an opening to be struck if he continued to stay in the same place performing the seals. After he clapped his hands on the ground, would it be too late for the Stone lad? After the two Sand ninja rubbed their eyes, they took off to flank their opponents whilst preparing themselves.

— Waka has C-ranked Earth Dominion (20 metres).
— Flaka has B-ranked Essence of the Sacred Flames (20 metres).
— Both ninja preparing for next turn.
— Ten hand seals for Revolving Earth Split Palm is quite a bit and probably wouldn't have allowed you to do the seals, slam your hand, jump away, and start performing more hand seals Pwn.

Chuusijin no Jutsu (Stomping Monkey’s Quake Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Supplementary.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 4.
Chakra: Mid to cast and sustain.
Special: Range of earthquake depends on the user’s level of Doton Ryouuken. As long as anyone except the user is within range of the quake and standing atop the ground, they will automatically suffer serious balance and orientation disruption, resulting in a 50% loss of speed - effects aren't auto however, and can be evaded with clever RP. Quake lasts the entire turn, and can be used once per thread, plus one more each time retrained.
Description: As its name implies, this basic yet efficient technique results in the wielder forming a few simple handseals and then stomping and pounding the ground wildly, their limbs coated in a special chakra. As they pound away, the earthquake consumes the area, disrupting balance and speed. Very good for when faced with waves of opponents, or for taking down weakened edifices.
Domain: Doton. Doton Ryouuken 'C'.

Dai Endan (Great Fireball)
Rank: B
Type: Offensive.
Range: See special!
Handseals: 3.
Chakra: High
Special: Distance, size, and strength are equal to 'Endan'. Up to 2 fireballs can be fired off per use, plus 1 one each time retrained. However, after each retraining, chakra consumption will go up by one. Keep in mind balls are shot one after another, not simultaneously.
Description: An upgrade to the 'Endan' technique, this allows the user to expel an even greater stream of fire now that they are more adept at controlling their Katon chakra. With the stream of fire, they can quickly shoot off several larger fireballs in quick succession, resulting in an overwhelming set of blasts all carrying an explosive fate.
Domain: Katon. Enkou Shinka 'B'. Endan.

The sun was beginning to set and with that came the darkness of night. Creatures of the forest came out of this time, many of them hunting for their prey. It would be best that the boy finished his search quickly. Sure, he had one more plant to find. But if he couldn't do it in time, perhaps he would come across one of these forest creatures. They of course did not take intruders to their habitat likely. He was best to keep careful with where he stood.

The new area of the forest was different from the last he had been in. From what he would have experienced before, this new area would be a lot more appealing. The muddy and sloppy ground of the previous area was replaced by luscious forest floors of grass. Little flowers were placed in groups around the place, emitting a pink colour and a very lively atmosphere. Within the middle of the forest area stood the single marn plant. Though it did not stand alone.

Circling the plant around its base were smaller plants with an open top. The plants slowly expanded and contracted as if they were alive. From a closer glance, they were emitting a powder of some sorts with each puff. No doubt if the boy was to come in range of the plant in an attempt to grasp it and yank it out, these spores would effect him. But who knew what these spores truly did? They could do nothing for all he knew.

Yet it was important that he did not underestimate the forest. The scenery was beautiful. But with beauty, came deception. It was important for every herbalist to remain in control of the environment around them. It couldn't be trusted. There were many stories of herbalists entering the forest never to return again. You had to be ready for anything out here. Whether that had been for a mountain lion or a mere plant emitting spores, you just had to be prepared.

Haku no Jutsu (Fade Technique)
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary / Genjutsu
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: 2x Mid
Special: Cannot be dispelled by a target using the 'Kai' technique. Can be used once per thread, and additionally, every time retrained. Costs a 'tier' higher worth of chakra if used as a means of escape (i.e out of the thread).
Description: An illusion which makes it seem that the user is scattering into the air in the shape of a personalized theme of their liking (small animals - spiders / snakes / crows, objects, paper, flower petals, etc). Commonly used with slithering and crawling animal or object although each person usually has their own use mark. After forming the required handseals this technique will make one's presence truly hidden, allowing for a strategic retreat or for a stealth attack. The structure behind it is alike that of Kawarimi no Jutsu, which will have the user previously disappeared from their place, leaving one's image behind to disperse after an attack or at will and the user will reappear when the "pieces" get back together at a location, which will make it easier for a target to follow.

Tuschi Ouchi no Jutsu (Soil Pit Technique)
Rank: C
Type: Genjutsu
Range: See special!
Handseals: Yes
Chakra: Mid
Special: Range, duration, and targeting is determined by the user's fundamental Genjutsu techniques. This technique is subject to the standard rules of break-ability for all Genjutsu.
Description: The user forms the hand seals, designating their target within their range. Immediately, the target will perceive the surface beneath their feet to be soft and giving, so much so that they begin to sink into it. The target will sink up to their knees and perceive that they are unable to free themselves from the earth, which has hardened around their legs until the technique is complete.
Domain: Inton.
