It was within those next few moments that she felt a definite confirmation. For as she sliced through the horde of insects, even as she attempted to get away, she could feel a fair swathe of them latch onto her, sinking their mandibles and sharp edges into her. The sound of rustling and shifting earth made her pause, and immediately form a single handseal. Though it wasn't faster than the speed of sound. A whistle came first, and then silence, before she could suddenly feel it burst and ripple through her body. The pain through her ear.
"AAAAGH!" She screams out, a shrill one, as she felt herself fall onto her knees. Her prized chakra saber slipping through her fingers and splashing into the water below. Shinde's head was keeled, as she felt her ears assaulted. Seemingly. Azarea might have felt proud, if not victorious.
That was until? Shinde's hair would rapidly lengthen and blast forwards. A mass of tendrils looking to grasp and wrap tightly around her body. Any body really. So tightly, it felt as if she were in binds of steel, as they bound together to form a high mass. Assuming she was successful, Azarea would find herself unable to move her arms or body other than her head. Her legs bound as it became ever tighter. Before Shinde then decided to return the pain. A few more seals would make that clear as she calls out.
"Let me show you why they call me the Ashen Kunoichi. Katon: Hainejirei no Jutsu!" She declares loudly. It was there that she exhales a cloud of hot cindering ashes that wrapped around the both of them in this close distance. Like a cloud. Except a major difference. It was
hot.
The ash cloud wouldn't disperse. Instead? It'd get hotter. Hotter and hotter. So hot that Azarea could feel herself being uncomfortably cooked, as was Shinde. Her clothes would begin to singe and burn, but on the other token? So would the many insects that threatened to suck Shinde's chakra out. Adapted for Kumo's relatively colder climate, they'd hopefully be unable to sustain themselves in this fiery heat. Assuming she found herself able, then, she'd leap, and twist her body in a circular motion, slamming the redhead straight into the wall of the arena with a crack, dragging her down its roughness, as Shinde lands upon the water in a splash. Applying chakra to her feet as she skids, gazing to her foe. She felt as if she was going to vomit. Her legs shaking, as she looks forwards.
"H-Hgh..." Smoking, the water felt good to her burned skin.
Ceasing her sizzling, as she takes a knee.
"Give up."
NAME: Katon: Hainejirei no Jutsu [Fire Release: Ash Contortion Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: Four
DESCRIPTION:
Either through creating through exhalation or using pre-existing ash, the caster of this technique heats and manipulates ashes into creating a contorting. burning cloud around a target. The ash is difficult to see through, but is also incredibly hot, gaining further heat as the ash continues its rotations. The ash is capable of burning clothes and inflicting up to second degree burns upon a target or targets after a whole post. However, has little to no ability to keep a target locked inside.
NAME: Ranjishigami no Jutsu - [Wild Lion's Mane Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
Chakra poured into the user's hair will extend violently, reaching out like many dense tendrils of fibers. The hair, becoming hard and tough like steel, aims to ensnare and bind targets within thirty meters, their sharpened tips boring into their bodies as it seemingly stitches them while knotting around them. This works well to halt the movements of even massive beasts, not to mention halt several dozen shinboi at once. These tendrils are capable of shaping their ends into what appears to be a lion's mouth, filled with a maw filled with razor sharp iron-rending teeth. Hungry for blood, the beastly endings to these binding tendrils work to finish off whatever prey the user may have caught. With the amount of hair created on average, shinobi are typically able toe create up to twelve individual massed tendrils of hair.
Summary:
- Shinde attempts to capture Azarea in the Wild Lion's Mane to bind her in place.
- She attempts to use the Hainejirei no Jutsu to envelop both herself and Azarea in the burning cloud for an entire post, to cook the insects off of herself, and her opponent, freeing herself from the insects, but also preventing more from assaulting her.
- She looks to slam Azarea into the wall of the arena, and drag her downwards, leaving her pinned by the lion's mane, requesting her surrender.
