Stormy. Rainy. Loud. Obnoxious was a great way to put it, but for Taro... The rain made him feel at ease. It was in moments like this, leveled with the ground, with raindrops falling onto his hooded head, that he felt at peace. Like he could read every movement coming his way.

The rain was his ally. It always was- It was the way of Amegakure, after all- But as it fell on the ground between him and his opponent for today, he could only wonder what sort of skills he might have to use to win this fight.

"Alright. So. Lets go over it again." He spoke over the rain, two wooden swords held in his hand- Fakes of his real blades, as he didn't want to actually slice and dice the Chuunin. He stood at the bottom floor of the arena that had been picked- She stood atop the overlooking plataeu. Inbetween them were various objects and items- Barrels and Trash cans- That had all been set up for this little test- With about 60 meters in-between the both of them.

"You stay up there. My goal, is to try to get to you... Without getting shot." He explained as he rubbed his head. The idea was simple in practice. It was a training test- Momo training her area denial, and Taro training his ability not only to fight against a superior opponent, but try to close the distance with a ranged opponent.

"... Just uh. Tell me when you're ready." He said simply. This was going to be tough for him, but with any luck, she might have some insight or knowledge for him on how to close on an enemy easier. A more professional fighting style in the works, mayhaps?

...Regardless, he was wearing thick, padded clothes so she didn't end up punching a hole through him with that bow of hers.

Momo had certainly wanted to work towards promotions. She knew she needed to be a better teacher and likely command a team of her own. So the idea of doing this training with Taro seemed good. Until she arrived at what looked like an obstacle course, her being placed on a pedestal of sorts.

A raised plateau was quite the advantage for an archer, she'd brought training arrows. However she was fairly confident if she put her full strength into it, she'd still pierce a body easily with the arrows shaft. So the idea she was supposed to try to shoot him and he was trying to get to her. It seemed like not the best of ideas, but sixty meters for a shinobi was pretty short a distance.

"S-So? Uh-uh, H-How hard am I supposed to try to hit you?" Momo would ask in a somber tone her eyes avoiding making direct contact. Despite this being a challenge and a friendly spar of sorts, Momo wasn't exactly keen on combating her allies. So she personally didn't want to spark some sort of rivalry. Pushing him to push her, she didn't take well to pushes. She wouldn't be able to keep control if she lost it.

In order to taper down her rage, Momo picked up the practice and pleasure of archery. The exercise being a constant in her life since a very young age, she's become quite the professional shot. Not only that as she's an Onigo by bloodline, she's able to accomplish strengths beyond that of most. Meaning she's trained in the art of more and more powerful bows, unintentionally this chuunin would likely break any regular persons bow. Due to this it's smart to be wary of any arrow let loose from her own mighty bows.

She was worried about hurting him. Well, that was fair. He couldn't exactly expect her to hold back too much- She had a strength that rivaled some of the strongest people he'd ever known, and then some. So any pull back on her bow would be enough to punch holes in him.

That said, though...

"Erm... Try not to hold back! I'm sure the padding here is enough to take the wood of the arrows!" Well, in a sense, yes. The idea here was that the padding was enough to stop the already dull training arrows from punching a hole through him- At the velocities she released them, and the weight and fixture of the arrow, they were more likely to shatter on impact rather than pierce through- Which would leave intense, gross bruises, and internal damage if it was grievously powerful- But At least wouldn't maim him or kill him.

"Alright... I'm going to start now, okay? Show me your spirit!" He smirked, as he crouched down... And formed a set of handseals. He figured it was going to be quite the challenge to try and get to her. Yes, 60 meters was not a lot of distance for a Shinobi to cover, but she was leagues and leagues stronger than him, with an advantage at that. He'd need to use cover and every trick in the book to try and close with her.

Two clones would pop up next to him. A close eye could distinguish the real one from the clones, as they weren't particularly better made then any other Bunshin. This was a basic attempt here. Obviously, he had Amegakure no Jutsu if he really wanted to hide, but that almost felt like cheating. They weren't always going to have rain to hide behind, after all, and the point was to train yourself for fights you were uncomfortable in, not ones you knew you could take.

With that in mind, the three clones were off- One left, one right, one down center. They each shot out about thirty meters of wire from their gear, and began to roll towards it with quite a bit of speed- Two attempts for the flank, one attempt down the center- Each utilizing the off piece of furniture as an attempt at cover, as poor as it might be.

-Bunshin No Jutsu, 2 Clones (Right one is the real Taro, if applicable detection is available)

-Haiga/High Gear to quickly move towards Momo from three different directions, attempting to close half the distance.

Taro had proven himself to be durable and ultimately she was a medic. She'd agree to this term to not hold back, but she'd take that to mean to use her full skill. She'd more or less not plan to use her Onigo abilities, it wasn't like she was probably going to need to shoot through him. His confident in the wood breaking and the splinters not piercing were fine until her arrows were easily breaking the sound barrier.

She'd take a deep breath, her heart rate almost slowing. The world around her becoming serine, as the obstacles turned into green bushes. The Amegakure genin looking like the top of a target brimming from a bush, before two more would be summoned at either side. They'd be hidden from a shot, but she mentally was already prepared for the opposition of three. So confident in her technique, she'd draw three arrows. Momo wasn't a foreigner, she'd seen the omni-directional gear in use.

Her mind calculated their pull speed in head, as she'd almost pace it with that of a fowl. She could his fowl with ease and it was a much smaller target. Her arrows would spread across arch of the bow, splitting as soon as the omnidirectional gear attempted to hook it's line. The sound of the equipment clicking into gear would stir and to her, she'd see three target head off. One left, one right and one center. Only the slightest correction in each arrows direction than with confidence all three let loose planned to intercept the travelling target. The Taro and two clones. Nothing crazy powerful, but instead elegantly accurate. The goat in a clear calm trance.

Poof! Two clones, instantly popped- And an arrow punching straight into Taro's shoulder. Youch. That would have taken him out of the fight, if not for this armor, as he tumbled back to the ground, rubbing his shoulder.

"Not bad... Alright... I'll turn things up a notch!" An idea sprung to his mind. She was faster then his high gear, and more accurate as well. So he'd have to outsmart her, rather then try and brute force it.

Pushing himself up to his feet, Taro grinned wickedly as he prepared his omnidirectional gear again. Both hooks would fire, one shortly after the other, signaling his next attempt. As he sped up towards the girls right, he'd wait for that short moment while she was pulling the string, but not quite releasing it- Before his feint went off. A full reversal- Followed by another- He wasn't just moving quickly, he was now making himself difficult to track properly. Unpredictable movements, at the high cost of his gas and small amounts of his chakra.

-Hit, knocked down, gets back up again.
-Attempt two, Haiga -> Kyūsokuna Hanpatsu into feints, making him a far more difficult target to track mid-air.

Maybe going all out wasn't the right thing to do. She'd ponder a slight bit as she'd manage to hit all three Taro's, the clones broken and the man himself knocked down. A hand over her heart in momentary concern, but his quickness to reply and get back to his feet proved he was 'fine'. A fact which would bring upon an immediate sigh of relief, her world having shifted back to normal.

Though it wouldn't be long, before things looked back like the training range. "Be careful." Momo would state to Taro's intent of taking things up a notch. She didn't want to hurt him, but she knew it was still possible and he could very well hurt himself. It wouldn't really be good training if she didn't go at him with her skill. One didn't rise above a challenge by the challenge simply getting easier.

He'd luckily though learned his lesson and despite making no clones, he'd head out with a plan to fool the goat. Shifting his path mid travel to avoid the line up the pulling of his omni directional mobility gear. It'd work and her arrows would miss target, or more so the target she imagined didn't stick to the imagined path. It wasn't something she could exactly cope with, as he'd have the ability to escape the singular pull.

Though she wasn't a stranger to this gear, so after failing to strike him with her next volley of arrows. She'd wait for him instead to launch his gears hooks. Her mental target would shift from the genin to the hooks and she'd let loose her arrow instead for where he'd be to where the hooks were going. To prevent them from correctly landing or to knock them loose as they landed. She'd do so with a second arrow drawn and ready in hand. Attempting a very quick reload and firing of her bow directly for the genin. As he'd be more or less stuck to withdraw the hook.

As he began his high speed maneuvers, his eyes watched her carefully. He already knew how to use his weapons- That much was something he'd learned a long time ago. What mattered now was using them in the correct way to close the gap. When she'd shot an arrow at his hook instead of him, his hands were already up to his chest, forming a trio of seals.

But what could he do to change things now? Below him, some of the 'cover' he'd set up in haste. His trajectory was sending him directly on an interception path with where her arrow might be- But he wasn't done thinking ahead. Adjusting the gas emitters on his gear as his handseals finished, he'd land with a thud in the rain, quickly running ahead only to get an arrow right to the chest.

...Or he would, were that not a clone. Momo would easily notice this- She had the eye of an archer, after all- But in her moment of releasing the arrow, he'd pushed just enough gas in his Omni-directional Maneuver gear to throw him slightly off course. It was enough to dodge the arrow, but it'd have thrown off his movement and made him an easy target- Had he not made a clone simultaneously to trick the craftier archer into believing he was still moving at the exact same velocity.

Taro himself was already on the ground, sprinting the last of the way forward as he was weaving three more handseals. This was exhaustive on his chakra, and had he not the greater chakra stores he did it'd likely have knocked him out already- But with three out...

A wall of chakra popped up right in front of the goat girl. A barrier to stop her attacks and temporarily mess with her vision of him, while he closed the gap.


-Using gas to divert body off course into cover, while diverting a fresh clone on the same trajectory he was already falling, to give the illusion of a clean hit.

-Using Kekkai: Kabe to create a wall in front of Momo, to buy time while he continues to move closer to her.

Momo was quite impressed with the genin's quick use of jutsu, as he'd seemingly get off two bursts of the clone jutsu and create a wall. The distance between them wasn't particularly great, so she really hadn't too much time or room to adjust. However she had her doubts that the wall projected of pure chakra could truly stop her arrows, so she'd not give up or try to move around the wall.

Instead Momo would loop her bow around her arm to temporarily free up both hands, then quickly retrieve some ninja wire to attach to one of her arrows. Channeling chakra into her arm a slight bit to strengthen it with her bloodline, then further channeling chakra into the arrow and wire itself. Firing at half her full strength straight into kekkei wall, using the arrow string reeling to force the arrow through and readjust it's path based on what could be seen after the wall was down.

She'd force guide the arrow as close to Taro, or as many Taro's as possible, before releasing the chakra in the arrow. As to create a small sonic boom. Typically a means to send the arrow even further, but instead the arrow whose integrity was already damaged by the wall. Would detonate into a flurry of small wooden pieces hopefully with enough force and spread to shatter clones and give a decent thwack or splinter in any real Taro's throwing off their charge.

Mightest Goat | Onigo KKG #1
Treated with Chakra as an infant, Momo's bodies reaction was to channel that through her bloodline. Forever scarring her with Onigo appearance of a warped skin, eye and hair color, as well as two goat like horns protruding from her head. She's however not as skilled as one might think for someone so early indoctrinated into bloodline ability. The major downside of this clan is using it's power causes one to also lose their sanity. Thus Momo whose constantly in a battle to not transform has relatively awful control in comparison to most of her clan.

That stated though, she's still incredibly skilled with the part of her she can transform. Her arms stiffen and bulge with the might of her bloodline, as the nails on her fingers become more claw like and merged with the hand. This allows her to have an incredibly easy time plucking the string of her bow, to rip forth some of the most powerful draw string strengths. As a chuunin she's also begun slowly, but less successfully transforming her feet, so she can almost stand like a mountain goat. Using only the smallest amount of space to perch herself giving her odd vantage points.

NAME: Yayatsuito no Jutsu [Arrow String Reel Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
By attaching a steel wire to the end and firing the arrow using their bow, the user can then pour chakra into the wire and control the direction of the arrow freely mid air, however the more they manipulate it the slower the speed of the arrow becomes.


NAME: Cho'onboya [Arrow Sonic Boom]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
The user charges their arrow with chakra and then fires it using a bow. During midflight on command the user will have the arrow use up the chakra. The chakra will create a sort of burst behind the arrow, almost like a wave which the arrow will "ride" forward. This burst wave will double the speed of the arrow, making it a sudden trap that could prove deadly for an opponent who is not expecting it.

The arrow was slowing down slightly- It'd worked. The wall was keeping her from hitting him, which was perfect, as he quickly swung around with a low dip.

But it wasn't enough. Her jutsu, which quickly broke past his barrier, ended up landing flat in the middle of his clones and himself- The explosive boom sending each one dispersing as he was rocked sideways by the blow, crashing into a few wooden barrels as he tried to level himself out.

The dust settled after a moment, and Momo could see him- Exerted, exhausted, and certainly a bit beaten up. He ran through his mind and looked down at his weapons for just a moment, trying to gather some intelligence on what sort of maneuver he could pull off here.

He could pull out his hiding in the rain technique, but she could likely do the exact same thing- It was a double edged sword, and she likely had better senses as a Chuunin then he did as a Genin- Her experience in that degree likely put her above him in level.

Which left him with a different sort of solution. Looking down at the wooden splinters on the floor, he came up with a rather devious plan. A last ditch one, at that, for if this one didn't work and she did get him again, he didn't feel like pushing himself to his breaking point for a spar, considering how long it'd take him to recover.

Still, he had a hunch. Grabbing the wooden splinters, he'd fling them with a great deal of force at Momo. Though Taro wasn't a master archer like her, he was a jack of all trades- And he was figuring that out more and more as he fought. With that in mind, his splinters would be aimed for her general body location, as he began his ascent again.

Hook to the side, he slid across the arena. He knew she might counter it, but hoped his assault of ranged weapons would slow her down. She didn't want splinters, right?!

It didn't matter. The first hook was merely a distraction. Twisting his body around, he shot one straight at Momo- Or more accurately, right over her shoulder- As he broke the last reel and let it fizzle back, instead rocketing forward on but a single hook.

She'd likely still be able to shoot. She wasn't a push over, and she could easily dodge out of some simple debris and anticipate a fake out. The only thing he had going for him was that the series of distractions would be enough to weaken her focus, so that the next arrow that came at him would be not quite as powerful.

Shoulder forward. Head tucked in. Halfway across, he'd fling out and disconnect one of his blades, sending it spinning towards Momo. He only needed one, and that should skip her up if she was mid-pull. Spiraling with the gas loaded into his gear, he aimed for a straight shot forward that, even if she hit him, he hoped would have enough forward momentum to swing his remaining blade out- Dulled, of course, just like the last one- To whack her in the shoulder.

It was a risky, all out maneuver on top of one he'd already had. But in the absence of superior skill, he'd have to do with overwhelming firepower distracting his opponent enough for him to get just a strike in.

- Throwing Woodchips at Momo
- Using gear to fire a hook directly to the left side of the arena while the woodchips are in flight. Meanwhile, the primary hook is being fired directly at Momo, right above her shoulder.
- If this manages to go off, Taro will fly forward, using all of the remaining gas in his gear to spin unpredictably in a spiral towards his target, detaching one of the dull blades and flinging it at Momo as a second distraction before going in for a single strike.
- Hoping the momentum of this gas powered, chakra infused strike is enough to get past the sheer force of any arrows that come back at him. Feel free to do some grievous damage if she gets an arrow off though, it's a risky play.

Momo certainly wouldn't be impressed by Taro's choice of improvised weapon. He'd attempt to throw the pieces of her broken arrow at her, if the untipped arrow wasn't a threat, it's pieces were even less so. She however didn't really want them going in her eyes, so instead of firing she'd give Taro reprieve. Instead spinning her bow to deflect the incoming pieces, then reloading to aim him down.

She'd consider firing at the spot he'd latched onto, but he'd quickly cancel that move and instead fire at her. She had a very good eye for trajectory as an archer, so she'd lean away from the shot. Though she could almost tell it wasn't aimed for her, it'd allow her to keep the drawn arrow ready. While he approached, he'd take apart his blade to throw at her. She probably should of fired, but the manner he came in gave a lot of 'head, throat and other' vital spaces.

Momo didn't like the manner he travelled in, she wouldn't risk actually killing or seriously hurting Taro. So instead of firing she'd let him play out his blade, it would however present her a target. Shooting the thrown piece of metal, her untipped arrow would shatter, but also deflect the blade. Forcing the genin into another mist of splinters. Something she was confident wouldn't kill him.

It was clear from the sound of the tanks going all out, this would be his final joust at her. She didn't have the range or confidence to land another shot. At least not one she'd deem safe, but she wasn't going to remain in his path at all. His swing for her shoulder would be planned, but by the time he reached her the spin would of likely blurred reality and the intention would meet air, as Momo would easily duck out of the way. Allowing him to fly full pace into the back drop he'd recently hooked.

Success? Wasn't his goal to hit her after all, he just needed to make it to her without being shot. Granted maybe he'd consider the shrapnel a hit. "You okay?" Momo would be quick to ask from a distance, but basically the same spot she'd been holding.

Kerthunk and slam. Taro had hit the wall. His last ditch effort, it seemed, had not bore the fruit he was looking for. He had meant to use the woodchips from the barrels- Not her arrow- But it seemed that was a failed technique.

Which made the rest cascade into further failures, moment after moment where she could have easily gone in for the kill. As he slid down the wall, Taro fell onto one knee, gritting his teeth in a mild amount of pain as he looked back at her. There were now splinters in his body in multiple places- But he was alive.

Beat up, but alive. She was right on one thing- He'd managed to close the distance- But at a cost that likely would have been his life, in a real fight. She had just ducked, as simple as it was. It seemed the speed of his equipment, which would leave most Shinobi in awe, was easily detected by the woman who could watch an arrow in flight.

She asked if he was okay, but he wasn't sure if he should answer. This was a 'win', but it was a pretty pathetic one, all things considered, and he stood up feeling a bit ashamed of that fact.

"It seems I still need a lot of training." His response finally cut through the rain as he turned towards her with a fake smile, hoping she wouldn't see the pain behind it. Failure was merely a part of life, and he was now going through the pain of said failure, as he brushed himself off and began to take off his armor.

"Good job, Momo. I think I learned a lot here." He explained with a happier smile. Not one to stay down long, he decidedly propped himself back up- Though he was still bleeding in several spots from the splinters. Ow.

Despite her awkwardness Momo could sense something was off with Taro. She however wasn't capable of psycho-analyzing things realistically. She just had an odd feeling something was off about his smile. Worrying it was herself, she'd give herself a look over. Nothing seemed to be terribly off, so she'd try to just accept she was feeling crazy. It'd not be the first time she wasn't exactly control over her vessels feelings.

"You're an aspiring shinobi the training never ends." Momo would reply to Taro initially, it hopefully wasn't his expectation to best a chuunin with ease. Even a small success was a success, even as a failure it'd be a good lesson. It was one step closer to his career bettering, but steps were often short in range and plenty took them slowly for ease.

"I tried my best. Now let me take care of these splinters." The goat spoke earnestly. Perhaps she could of done something more at the end, but her self needed lesson was restraint. To know when to hold back, so to her she hoped somehow she succeeded a little. Quickly shuffling her footing, Momo would shift herself to block Taro from leaving, granted he wasn't just okay with her free medical aid. She'd be as delicate as she could be, picking the pieces of small wood, sanitizing the wounds and wrapping them or simply retrieving a bandaid of the necessary size.

Weapon in Use
- Cloud Retainer

SA in Use:
Mightest Goat | Onigo KKG #1
Treated with Chakra as an infant, Momo's bodies reaction was to channel that through her bloodline. Forever scarring her with Onigo appearance of a warped skin, eye and hair color, as well as two goat like horns protruding from her head. She's however not as skilled as one might think for someone so early indoctrinated into bloodline ability. The major downside of this clan is using it's power causes one to also lose their sanity. Thus Momo whose constantly in a battle to not transform has relatively awful control in comparison to most of her clan.

That stated though, she's still incredibly skilled with the part of her she can transform. Her arms stiffen and bulge with the might of her bloodline, as the nails on her fingers become more claw like and merged with the hand. This allows her to have an incredibly easy time plucking the string of her bow, to rip forth some of the most powerful draw string strengths. As a chuunin she's also begun slowly, but less successfully transforming her feet, so she can almost stand like a mountain goat. Using only the smallest amount of space to perch herself giving her odd vantage points.

Angry Archer Elite | Bow Skill SA #2
In order to taper down her rage, Momo picked up the practice and pleasure of archery. The exercise being a constant in her life since a very young age, she's become quite the professional shot. Not only that as she's an Onigo by bloodline, she's able to accomplish strengths beyond that of most. Meaning she's trained in the art of more and more powerful bows, unintentionally this chuunin would likely break any regular persons bow. Due to this it's smart to be wary of any arrow let loose from her own mighty bows.

Notes.
Notes go here wheee and you can get as long or as short as you want because it doesn't matter. And do you wanna know why that is? Is it because you think this scrolls? Well you'd be right. It does scroll. Pat yourself on the back my good man. You are smart. Smart little man.
