winds down, a victor in sight So far he had managed to evade the doctor's attacks, but he and his bunshins were relentless. If he chose to he could have stood and fought— but that was not the point of this all. Best to leave the offense for Shosuke so he could practice using his blindsense in a fight while he did his best to stay well out of reach. Aside from snagging his jacket and several errant, snapped vines remaining coiled around his limbs, he had broken free with the help of his chakra threads and his own speed. However he was far from free and clear as the Moku Bunshins bore down on him, closing the distance with Shunshin and striking at him. "Not how I planned it, but..." A puff of smoke shot up from underneath his feet, signaling the triggering of his Kawarimi. Uemon vanished from place... only to replaced by another Uemon. Swapping places with his clone that had been dangling above from threads. Much weightier than his own Kage Bunshin, Shosuke's duplicates had little trouble whacking the doppelganger and dispersing it in another cloud of smoke. Finally out of bunshins, his real body resumed hanging duties with another quick usage of the Takuto Mojiretsu, now suspended from the overhang where his clone was only just situated. From this vantage he was able to watch the next few events unfold, with Shosuke weaving several hand seals and summoning forth a gigantic rush of water from his palm that flooded the training grounds. Though it washed over his wood clones, they seemed mostly unaffected by it due to their density. The wanderer could only wrinkle his nose as he hung there over the waters. "I wonder..." Something was brewing in his mind and as his threads dispersed? Uemon fell, funneling chakra to the soles of his feet to make use of the Suimen Hokou no Waza and stand atop the flood. Figuring that it was not solid ground, he could only assume that the vibrations would not carry. But there was only one way to find out for sure, so as he moved to strafe the two Moku Bunshins he weaved several hand seals. A deep breath later and he would expel a violent burst of air from his lungs at them, hoping to knock them back with his Fūton: Kyōryokuna Kaze no Nami. Whether they dispersed or not was irrelevant, as he only sought to create distance to retreat further. Turning, he meant to move carefully and swiftly away atop the waters, minding each step. Soon enough this little game would come to a close, but it had served its purpose well enough. Not only were they sharpening their skills, but he had gained some valuable insight from these exchanges... as well as the realization that his next creation would have to come sooner than expected. Flight was a useful skill indeed, so once they were done here he would need to begin work right away. So that the next time his budding skills in stealth met a hard counter... ...he would have other avenues of escape. Thoughts for a later time, though. OFFENSIVE TECHNIQUES: NAME: Fūton: Kyōryokuna Kaze no Nami [Wind Release: Powerful Wind Wave] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Fūton DESCRIPTION: After forming the necessary hand seals, the caster releases a powerful gale of wind from their mouth. The gale itself has enough power to lift and push opposing Shinobi off their feet. SUPPORTIVE TECHNIQUES: NAME: Takuto Mojiretsu [Grappling String] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [Puppetry] ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 DESCRIPTION: A useful, but difficult to master skill. This technique requires an entire hand's worth of puppetry strings, the user sending five strings to latch onto a surface before quickly wrapping their hand around the strings and finally shortening the strings at a high speed. While this could be used to rapidly pull light objects towards the user, it is more commonly used to pull the user towards to object they anchor the strings onto. This effectively allows a puppeteer to use their puppet strings as a grappling hook and quickly move around the battlefield. NAME: Suimen Hokou no Waza [Act of Water Surface Walking] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low [Continuous] CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General] ELEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: A slightly more advanced version of the Tree Climbing Skill, this technique allows a shinobi to walk on water as if it were a solid surface. What makes this so difficult is a very precise amount of chakra ust be applied, as balance is harder to maintain on a not so tangible and even moving surface. SPECIAL ABILITIES: KASHIRA-WARI・首割り - ENHANCED CHAKRA CONTROL Puppeteers must maintain expert control over their wide selection of puppets, and so too must a shinobi with their chakra. Necessary for his Puppet Ninjutsu and applicable to his other techniques, Uemon has trained extensively in order to mitigate the amount of chakra he uses with his jutsu. Compensating for his average chakra reserves this allows him to stay in the fight that much longer. TSUKURIMONO・作り物 - INTELLIGENCE Stage and setting can make or break a performance. A director needs vigilance and flexibility to ensure all the moving parts of a play go off without a hitch. A learned strategist with a quick mind, Uemon is always observing even in the midst of combat. This allows for him to find gaps and weaknesses in his opponent's techniques easier than some, and allows him to formulate strategies and deceptions to take advantage of these shortcomings. A knack for tactics cues him on which approach works best depending on his target. ASHIZUKAI・足遣い - SPEED Operating the legs of a puppet requires dexterity and agility. Much like moving one's own body. As a child in Tetsu no Kuni Uemon trained in Jujitsu and Kenjutsu, finding his aptitude for speed rather than strength. Honed after years on the road with his mentors, Uemon is surprisingly light on his feet and his hand-to-hand strikes are faster than most expect. Able to strike and weave with deft swiftness he is capable of holding his own against Taijutsu specialists of his rank and outright overwhelming those of lower ranks in terms of speed. SHOMEI・署名 - SENSOR TYPE Lighting is a crucial part of any play. Identifying the actors and drawing focus to them in the dark. With much training Uemon has become a Sensor Type, able to detect and hone in on chakra signatures akin to a sixth sense of sorts. A useful tool when it comes to tracking or surveillance. As of now, he is capable of passively sensing chakra up to one hundred meters from his body, or one kilometer if actively searching. This also allows him to more efficiently utilize his puppets without needing a direct line of sight to his targets. Knowing the placement of actors on stage at all times is essential. |
