Immortal Machine: Right on Time

Support Squads Arrive at Coordinates

The Support Squad a couple hours ahead of the advancing squad would be arriving to a brawl, Isamu would be the most knowledgeable ahead of time. As the first actual sight of the fight would put the team roughly 100M out from the combat, at 200M without even activating their sensory, they'd be able to note twenty five chakra pings ahead. Three of which were abnormally large, upon this abnormality could be explained literally by their size.

An elephant stood above all the rest, it rising onto it's hindlegs, as it'd raise it's trunk bellowing out a might roar. It had almost shinobi looking gear upon it, a sort of stand built upon it's back with two blankets barring in large Ishigakure's symbol. One draping from either side of the beast, despite it sticking out and seeming relatively mighty in the chaos. It's enemy didn't flinch in response, as it faced off against of two of the other large threats.

A puppet with three insect like legs, which had a humanoid torso and skull shaped head. It held a massive green glaive, which it rose to the same height as the standing elephant. Bracing the bigger beast up with relatively immense strength, it's glaive and eyes glowed the same shade. A glow which seemed to light up all the enemies skull like metal faces. The second of it's kind stood off against what seemed like the most skilled Ishigakure shinobi. Who interestingly enough also sported a glaive, but there's was more human proportioned and less glowing. Encased in a rock like armor dust and bits of rock would shed from them blocking the massive puppet.

Scattered across the field was other Ishigakure shinobi, seemingly all fighting off roughly three human sized and shaped puppets each. These machines dressed in torn clothes and hoods, sporting leather to hide some of the shine of their metal. Their hands were more like knives and quite a few seemed to have taken mixed dents and cuts about them. One seemingly half melted and the two closest to is appearing a bit scorched. Farthest from the arrival direction of the Support Squad, it'd appear two Ishigakure shinobi were just recently wounded. As they'd be getting dragged off lightly thrashing.

The Ishigakure shinobi all didn't seem to be heavily out skilled, but upon further examination it was clear they were tired. Likely fighting the whole time since the message had been sent out.

OOC Notes: Ha Moriko is considered as equipment for the purpose of this event. I'm sorry to force a narrative upon Toff e and Kitarel, but please just stick to it for the purpose of my approval OOC to this IC happenstance. You guys can start with training together when called or whatever you feel works best, but for everyone else's sanity it'll be unknown most likely to the rest an Academy student is among you.

Chakra Cost Notice: Due to the length of distance travelled, the cost of actually using any jutsu would add up more than the cost I listed. So even if you ended last rotation using a different means to travel, the cost I laid out is all you actually paid. HOWEVER; if you used any jutsu prior and don't deactivate it upon arrival to keep going, it'll be assumed the cast is paid that rotation instead of simply charged the maintenance. Similarly any jutsu that's cast and activated later will still be charged. Otherwise, if you just flared up your travel simply take the medium cost + shunshin use or additional low if applicable.

Posting Order: There will not be a posting order due to the majority vote siding with a 72hr posting period.

Event Rank: A-rank expect it to be difficult and death to be a serious risk

Posting Time: 72hrs after my post, it'll be expected that I will post again. So please make sure you've got your posts in or let me know you need x-amount extension. I will be at work in 72hrs, so expect the next response around 8-9PM EST on 12/9. If you all continue to post quickly, I'll try to keep my pace up with you all. If you miss a post and don't notify me, I will NPC your character and not just assume they paralyzed for a rotation.

Final Note: Everyone please have fun, if you're having any concerns or feel underwhelmed, then please let me know. I'll do my best to make this a fun and difficult experience without being unfair.

[aihara ryoko]

The chaos of a large battlefield stretched out below her. It was a first for such a large battle, and the sight filled her with glee. Her smile grows wide below her cowl, battle calling to her like so many sweets used to lure younger self..

The blazing jets on her feet and hands continue, both announcing her arrival to the battlefield and carrying her quickly to its center. There her jets cut out and inertia continues to shove the girl across the sky. Knowing the first thing she’d need to do regardless of her chosen task would be to better arm herself she sneaks a hand beneath her cloak and draws a scroll from her belt.

Her altitude gave her a decent position, and also a better chance at flanking their opponent than many of the other landlocked shinobi who’d come. Options flit through her mind as she examines the multitude of puppet looking people. She was going to need toys. Lots of toys.

She could have leant her aid to any of those currently defending themselves, or landed atop the elephant to help power its assault through the other beast. Instead she left that for the others and continued on across the battlefield.

Spying the two shinobi being dragged off by the enemy for gods knows what purpose, she decides they are in the most acute and dire need, and she was in the best position to help them.

It was a crowded battlefield, but there seemed to be two obvious paths in or out. The two were being dragged towards the far exit, by the look of things.

Ryoko gives a strong wave of her left arm as her right is unfurling a scroll. Commanded forth by her wave the doomstar comes alive. It tears away from her at a rapid pace, rushing down to join the battle before the girl herself can.

Seals are revealed as the scroll unrolls, and in turn each one pops into a little cloud of smoke. All ten Windmill Shuriken are unsealed from within, though none fall from the sky. Instead each one finds a chakra thread soon secured to it. They remain near Ryoko as she passes the small group of six. Her feet finally touch down, the tiny chuunin making herself a wall of hovering blades between the battlefield, and the path the enemy was dragging towards.

The doomstar, first to arrive, strikes at one of the stragglers, not one of the ones dragging. It comes in quick like a wheel of death, rotating slowly as it races through, sharp edges seeking to both slash and smash their way through the singled out opponent.

The other forces would have to cope with the cloud of razor sharp steel still gathered around her. Ten windmill shuriken levitate near her, encircling the girl and making any approach towards her a difficult one.

"HEY! COME ON, THIS FIGHT AIN’T OVER YET! IT’S JUST GETTIN' STARTED!”, she shouts at the myriad robot opponents. With little more adieu she prepares to send forth her weapons to assault.

[Kita Isamu]

Post Music

The long run from Iwagakure to their allies was tiring, and Isamu couldn’t help but wonder if they’d even have anybody left to save. He hoped they wouldn’t be too late. However, as they approached the village, chakra signatures began to pick up in his passive sensory field, prompting a grim expression. 25. It seemed a lot, at first, but… Ishigakure had more shinobi than this, surely? Was this all that was left? How many had already fallen?

Things weren’t looking good, especially once the Ishigakure shinobi and their opponents finally came into view. And Isamu finally understood why they had been told the enemy moved like a machine. Puppets. Strong ones as well, from a look at the devastation. Before he could give his orders,Ryoko was already shooting across the battlefield, to his own exasperation. To the team members who thankfully hadn’t run ahead, he sighed, before announcing his orders. ”Secure the area! We are not to advance just yet. Help the Ishigakure shinobi, and we will reconvene to set up camp once the puppets are gone! Don’t move ahead, I’ll fight the big puppet.”

Isamu didn’t check to see if the rest of his team was listening to his orders as he darted forwards with Moriko still around his neck. If they didn’t, he’d just report their insubordination to Lady Takara later. It would probably be more entertaining than chewing them out himself.

Sending a small and controlled burst of chakra into his body seals, he withdrew Lament from it’s spot, before drawing on all his knowledge of stealth to (hopefully) hide his approach from the puppet currently attacking the elephant. Even without sensory, it would’ve been easy enough to clock the two biggest puppets as the biggest threats. Being the team leader, the responsibility fell to him. He did not yet use jutsu, mindful that it may alert the enemy to his presence, but with Lament held in his hand, passive sensory skills keeping a mindful half eye on the battlefield, he swiftly approached the very large puppet. He didn’t particularly enjoy having to use a stronger jutsu so early, but he felt as though it would be best to deal with this opponent as quickly as possible. Taking advantage of his own particular brand of silent killing, he sincerely hoped these puppets had no form of sensory, otherwise he’d be in trouble.

With his chakra being directed to his arm muscles, he sent out an incredibly fast flurry of stabs at the large puppet, aiming for any visible joints he could see. His total thrusts numbered something around 100, all delivered devastatingly fast should they connect properly. He was not yet sure if it would be enough to take the puppet down, but any of the blows landing could potentially slow it down enough to gain the advantage.

Silent Killing
Isamu was never one to be subtle in normal life, but as a shinobi he’s been practicing his stealth since he was old enough to even go to the academy. Through years of advanced training both as a normal shinobi and an ANBU operative, he’s learned and perfected his own silent killing technique. Though he cannot fool sensory ninja, if one were to use their full 5 senses to try and find him he’d move as though he were a ghost.

Enhanced Chakra Control
Isamu is no medical Nin, but he’s never liked the idea of losing control in battle. Whether that means learning how to stay calm, or to conserve his chakra and not use more than necessary, he’s always done everything in his ability to be able to fight effectively as a shinobi. Though he doesn’t have the astonishing control often attributed to medical shinobi, he can control his chakra better than the average shinobi and has learned how to use it in a more efficient manner.

Sensory Ninja
Never a prodigy in this particular field, Isamu has a slightly weaker sensory ability than the average sensor of his rank, but a sensory ability nonetheless. He does not specialize in Ninjutsu, and hasn’t fine-tuned the ability completely, but he is capable of passively sensing within a range of 200m, or actively sensing within the much larger range of about 2km.

Increased Evasiveness
Many years of his life have been spent dodging attacks from enemies and his bully of a brother alike. Somewhere along the way, Isamu developed enough reflexes and speed to more easily dodge such attacks, increasing his overall dodging capabilities and decreasing the amount of attacks he might take in combat. This has been honed entirely on instinct, and is mostly used without thinking.

High Volume Seals
Isamu has practiced seals until his fingers were sore and bleeding from the amount he’s drawn. He’s learned how to use them well, how to control his own chakra in the process of making them. Due to this experience in using seals, Isamu has figured out how to make his body seals store extra items, though as always with seals, the larger the item the less that can be sealed. On average, his body storage seals can hold roughly twice the depth of the average Karada Fuin.

Lament
NAME: Jōzan Surasuto [Multiplying Thrust]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
A fairly simple, yet deadly technique. By flowing chakra to the muscles in their arms the user is temporarily capable of stabbing their weapons with incredible speed, capable of performing roughly a hundred thrusts in just a few seconds. While this can prove deadly to anyone caught within the range of their weapon, it is also limited by that range. Additionally while the user's striking speed is increased, that is the only speed increased. Lastly this technique can only be utilized four times per engagement before the user begins to destroy the muscles in their arm(s).

”Secure the area! We are not to advance just yet. Help the Ishigakure shinobi, and we will reconvene to set up camp once the puppets are gone! Don’t move ahead, I’ll fight the big puppet.”

As Isamu gave his orders, Souma nodded sharply and called back a simple, "HAI!" before taking stock of the field of battle. In the skies, Ryoko dominated, making a spectacle of unleashing nearly a dozen windmill shuriken and puppeteering each to spontaneously generate an air force all her own as she moved to intercept the shinobi in danger of abduction. On the ground, most of the shinobi were holding their own, even against three to one odds, but she could see they were flagging. The tides needed to change, and that's what they were here for.

It didn't escape Souma that the puppet engaging the strongest Ishigakure nin was cloaked in rock dust and chunks of stone. She silently dismissed the idea of using Suiton against Doton, knowing better than to put herself at a disadvantage, and opted to take the danger of the situation at face value and bring her all to bear for once.

As Souma twisted the key in the lock storing away a year and a half of stockpiled chakra, bands of dark markings slid across her face from the seal on her forehead, and she gasped audibly as she felt the sheer depth of what she'd stored up, just waiting for her to tap into it.

Steadying herself, she slammed her hands into the earth, drawing up a set of thick steel cables and binding them to herself in a twisted obi of steel cable behind her body. Then, she linked her Chakra into her armor to connect her to the cables in preparation for needing them in the future. Lastly, she used a quick handseal to insulate her air supply using the Filter Technique, just in case she needed to rely on one of her gas techniques- or someone else tried to.

Then it was into the fray alongside Isamu, breaking off to engage the stony puppet.

Souma's introduction to the duel was as a blaze of nearly instantaneous movement that appeared to those without the skill to track her approach as a streak of lightning, the armored medic crashing into the conflict from the west flank after approaching from the south, aiming to use the speed granted by the Taijutsu technique to land a blow utilizing the full focused power of her chakra empowered blows, now further enhanced by the release of her Byakugō no In, in an attempt to smash away the tripod creature and buy the Ishigakure leader some breathing room!

Did a bunch of jutsu and Raiippo'd into the fight between the stony tripod puppet and the Ishigakure head honcho, aiming to use a Strength Of A Thousand-improved CES smash to devastate the puppet, or at least buy the Ishi guy some breathing room! SOAT improves the power of jutsu, CES is a jutsu, so should be super-CES, I think, right?

NAME: Byakugō no In [Strength of a Hundred Mark]
RANK: S
CHAKRA USAGE: Low (storage), Very High (upon release)
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [Medical]

DESCRIPTION:
The first step of a three-part path that will allow the user’s chakra control to achieve its fullest potential, this technique allows the user to store vast amounts of chakra over an extended period of time that can span years. Usually, the stores of chakra are centered it on a specific point on their body; in most cases, the forehead. Over time, a marking in the shape of a diamond—or a rhombus, as it can sometimes be identified—manifests on the forehead.

Once the marking has physically manifested, the user’s chakra control—already honed to such a fine point it’s almost a science at this point—allows them to use and perform techniques under their repertoire without wasting any unnecessary energy. If released, the marking would manifest across the user’s face—or in some cases, spread across their entire body. An added effect is that it amplifies the power of techniques the user already knows.

Once the marking has been released, it will remain permanently in the center of the user’s forehead; so that the user can continue to benefit from the effects that it gives.

InitiationImmortal Machine Oh shit..."" The sight alone was enough to freeze even a more seasoned shinobi. It was a conflict in it's truest form. While it may have looked as if things were only getting started, it appeared as if the brawl had been going on for some time. With the enemy already there, there was little time to delay. Of course, rushing into the fray wouldn't be much better either. But being frozen wasn't an option either, especially with the forces of Ishigakure in the depths of it. Sliding to a stop as she approached, Himari would see all this, as much as her vision allowed her, mentally noting the obstacles that awaited them. The largest of the puppets was currently engaged in a struggle match against an elephant, the area also had collective pockets of tattered and scorched mechanical monsters, and Ishigakure's forces were clearly getting overwhelmed. The first instinct she had was to try and get into the thick of it, but considering the blades and their appearance, there was little that her own physical strength might be able to accomplish with a full rush. Thankfully, it appeared that Isamu had come up with some strategy or at least a plan to work with. Though sadly, Ryoko had already moved in so it was likely that she missed it. Still, with what was going on, maybe her proactivity would work in getting to the two solider in time. She couldn't be sure, and it appeared that they were going to be busy all around until the Assault team arrived. With the instructions being to help Ishigakure's forces and to clear up the puppets, Souma seemed to already get to work on trying to set a perimeter, leaving the big one to Isamu to deal with. "Wait what?!" As she watched him head off, Himari would then dart into the field also, moving toward the closest group to their entry point. They appeared in groups, yet their tattered appearance gave them away as they continued to engage with the tired shinobi before them. Three of them in each group, heavy odds, a part of her felt like she was in a free for all. Still, the glimmer of their knife like fingers was even more of a deterrent from getting too close. But a distant attack might work, and maybe it would give some relief for the moment. She still had her kunai present in her hand, an explosive tag at the ready. In racing closer, Himari would apply chakra to her limbs, allowing for her speed to increase slightly in her appraoch. "Get Clear!!" She'd shout this out to the Ishigakure forces she rapidly approached, throwing the explosive kunai directly toward one of the bladed machines. It was her hope that her warning was enough to clear the forces out of impact, and that the smoke that would come from the blast would cover a small retreat for them, and her next move as she she slowed herself to a sliding stop. "What a gal gotta do to get attention..." SPOILER: Click to show -Jutsu Used- NAME: Kasoku Suru [Accelerate] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu ELEMENT: - HANDSEALS: 0 DESCRIPTION: A very simple technique, by using chakra the user is able to instantly accelerate their selves to their max speed. This can be done in just about any condition, but any techniques that slow the user's movement (such as armor from jutsu or most jutsu that might slow an individual) will still affect them. -S.A Used- Show-Stopper Himari begun her career as an underdog, underestimated by many of her opponents within the ring due to her size. Yet, in spite of this, she would always come up with a way to win in the end, despite being at the disadvantage. This has much to do with her reflexes, capable of moving around her targets attempts and finding the openings she needs to take them down. More often than not, this serves as her means of protection in it being difficult to hit a someone that you can't accurately engage against. Though it operates on her instincts, it can be unreliable in some situations. Especially if Himari has not been able to figure out the exact anatomy of her opponent. Heart of a Champion During her run within the OWA, Himari would train constantly to build up her strength and stamina. She would need both in order to complete the various techniques that were involved in her style of wrestling. As such, strength training was key in her mind as she came up with an arrangement in order to continue to build upon those foundations taught to her. While she is indeed smaller than most of the people she encounters, her size does no more than give her the appearance of being less powerful than she is. Her ability to sustain stronger grapples upon her opponents is increase through this advantage, as well as the impact of her physical attacks. Legacy of a Champion Okada Riku was known throughout the world for her speed and agility when she was in the ring. Such is reflected upon her continue run until her retirement. This trait has been passed down by to her daughter as Himari has displayed incredible speed. This has only increased over the years, alongside her training with both her mother and other shinobi. She can move swiftly across the field with little issue, using her agile footwork to get in close on a target before they can even realize it. Excelling at this, she focuses on being evasive with this ability as well, allowing for her to be just as proactive in getting in, as well not getting hit in the process. Keen Eye After leaving the life of a performer, Himari was given the opportunity to help development the next generation of wrestlers for the OWA. This required that she further study the methods and means in which to help others increase their potential safely without causing injury to themselves. In doing this, she learned about the human body, as well as points upon which one could take advantage of a target and weaken them. While this was a skill she had learned through her career, she further used this knowledge to be more accurate of calculating strategies when dealing with opposition, as well as certain situations that required a keen insight into the anatomy of an individual. This insight also allows for Himari to properly control her own chakra with knowledge of her own limited and accessible supply. -Items Used- x1 Kunai x1Explosive Tag

[Yutakako Takara]

Immortal Machine: Right on Time

Support Squads Arrive at Coordinates

Ryoko would tend to the most pressing issue, at least as far as the time scale went. It could of been rather quick for the four puppets to easily drag away the two bodies. Their interruption and blocking caused them to immediately drop their task, despite the heroic entrance. These weren't brittle puppets, the doomstar would find cutting through them no easy task. The stray puppet attacked would actually swipe for the weapon, then hug into the ring to entangle itself with it.

Despite the risen defense of ten windmill shuriken, this girl was preventing easy extraction. So while the one puppet attempted to restrain the living giant shuriken, the other five nearest puppets would charge for this masked kunoichi. They weren't at all dismayed by the potential of being cut, but they'd rush in and attempt to do that very thing to this path blocker.

Isamu followed by Souma would lead the assault on the ongoing combat, as the head of the support squad would sneak to the elephants aid. It'd not stir the attention of the second nearby puppet, who'd turn their attention instead towards Ryoko. Leaving the large puppet to suddenly be attacked, it's joints though were reinforced and it'd not be easily downed. Even a hundred strikes from the jounin, but it wasn't something the puppet seemed to be willing to ignore. It'd refocus it's efforts to try to swipe away and block the sudden onslaught.

Ishigakure's forces wouldn't simply stand and watch. The elephant taking advantage immediately of Isamu's attack, as the large puppet shifted attention, the elephant would launch it's own attack. Wrapping it's trunk quickly under one arm and around the puppets head, it'd squeeze the head into the body, while also lifting the right arm out of it's reinforced shoulder. It was being clearly crushed in the grip, but it's second arm merely continued to swing it's glaive defensively.

Unlike Isamu's calculated and low taxing technique, Souma would enter her fight without holding back an inch. It'd be an impressive punch to the giant puppet, as it'd be created and ripped open out the back. The force throwing it back past the going on fights, as it'd crash completely broken it still looked up. It's body was damaged to the point it was no longer able to command it's own legs. Instead it'd weakly drag itself forward, it's comrades still seemingly unable to react. They'd shift to not be hit or in it's path, but they stayed focused on their targets.

"We cannot be outdone!" The special jounin in earth armor would claim, as he'd raise his own glaive into the air. Giving out a proud war cry, a haggered return cry of morale from the other shinobi. However it'd only be the special jounin freed up to aid, he'd immediately charge for where his men were being dragged off. Able to be aiding Ryoko in the next round of combat. Ishigakure's forces would get their major relief, when Himari threw in her explosion note attack. The call to steer clear would cause the shinobi farthest east to pull away at just the right time.

Though the explosion note only hit one puppet, it'd turn three puppets to face off Himari. They'd charge in at the final combatant, it'd likely be a discouraging line up, as the third member was the same as that hit by the explosion note. The metal creature was more so rag dolled by the force than damaged by the uncontained blast. The other three puppet soldiers would charge at Souma in response to her nor the Ishigakure team leader being under pressure. Despite a rather hopeless match up, these soldiers were true to their puppet appearance. Completely willing to fight outmatched and do so to the death unwavering.

Ha, perfect! Everything was going to plan. All six now focused upon her, and cast their captives aside. All as she planned.

It was unfortunate her planning had ended there. The Doomstar is lost easily to the puppet’s embrace, removed for now but it would only do so much good here. Her family art was best used against soft, squishy, screaming flesh. Robots never did any of those things. Looked like it was going to be one of those sorts of fights.

"Alright then”, she mutters below her breath, steeling her nerve as she is rushed. They were quick! Close combat had never been her thing anyway, and it wasn’t going to help her here. She shifts her weight, leaning back some and bending her knees, her right hand rising above her head and gathering up all the slack in her threads. Her left hand flits through a trio of signs as she does.

Seals were easy, even with only one hand. She had mastered chakra control in the academy, and for a moment she concentrated on her body. Tenketsu across her network open and emit chakra through her whole body. She selects her density and deletes most of it. It wasn’t so simple as it seemed, having to consider such things as balance and the often unnoticed weight of the atmosphere pressing down on her.

She didn’t end up truly weightless, just light enough to match the atmospheric pressure. Her feet don’t touch down again as she drifts upwards some five meters and continues to fall back slowly away. As she goes up her right hand comes down, pulling on the strings of all ten windmill shuriken and sending them flying. Nine of them rush the bug bot holding her beloved Doomstar, though they don’t come in nearly as gently as the larger cross.

A little pulse of chakra through her strings and suddenly nine shuriken all tear off of their strings and propel forward at nearly ballistic speed. They howl through the air towards their target, and though they leave Ryoko temporarily unarmed, she was not so worried about that as maybe she should be.

The last windmill continues on, still guided by its string. It approaches the Ishi nin coming to her aid, but doesn’t get too close. It pauses some meters ahead of the nin and turns upright into a stationary little X. Message or gift, who knows?

SA: Chakra Control

SA:  Mental Might

Ryoko is very well practiced in her telekinesis, and constant training with heavy weapons has increased her mind's muscles to remarkable proportions. Her constant practice and relentless will to improve has won her noticeably increased strength over the others Aihara in her grade. She is able to lift heavier weights, and strike with significantly more force than average.


Jutsu used: NAME: Shisō Idō [Mental Movement]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low [Continuous]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu(Puppetry)
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
The user of this technique attaches one or more chakra threads to one or more items, and takes control of them. These items may appear to animate, and be made to move in any fashion and any direction the user wishes. This force may also be used to push against stationary objects to brace them, to catch things that are falling, or really to affect motion in any way into any solid thing(grasping gases and liquids is an ill advised waste of effort). The amount of chakra required for this jutsu depends on how many strings are being used at a time. If only half of a user’s strings are in use, then only half of the needed chakra would be used.

Further rules relating to the use of Shiso Ido may be found in the Aihara Clan description.


NAME: Suijaku sa seru [Projectile]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu(Puppetry)
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
The user of this technique points the intended projectiles at their targets, and sends a strong pulse of chakra through their strings. This shoots the objects forward with great speed, and immediately detaches the objects from their strings. The speed of these objects is the same as an object thrown at full strength by a taijutsu user of their own rank. Any object that can be held with a single string, such as a kunai or short sword for a standard shiso ido user, could be fired, and each use can fire off every object held in their strings. If a user has more than the standard number of strings for their rank, adjust the chakra cost of this jutsu to match. The strings can be aimed at different targets or the same, making this a generally dangerous technique to be up against.


NAME: Keijūgan no Jutsu [Light-Weight Rock Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium | Low Continuous
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: Doton [Earth Element]
HANDSEALS: 3
DESCRIPTION:
The parent technique of all Light-Weight Rock techniques, this is most often applied when needing to massively reduce the weight of something in order to even the playing field or replicate some incredible feats of strength; at least in terms of lifting or throwing objects. Like most other Light-Weight rock techniques it generally needs to be used on one's self or what they're touching to affect it. This technique allows the user to make a five thousand pound bolder weigh little more than ten pounds in their hand, having a roughly five hundred to one conversion rate when reducing weight. Furthermore this technique can only affect something roughly the size of a small two story house.

Chuunin, Iwagakure Medical Corps

@name | ### | notes

The interjection of the Iwagakure forces had the desired effect of redistributing the pressure that the Ishigakure shinobi had been successfully holding at bay for the moment. The released focus allowed the elephant to strike properly, starting to crush the puppet trying to fend off Isamu with the opening it received, and those Ryoko had interrupted quickly rushed her. Souma kept an eye on her as best she could, aware that could go south quickly with numbers like that- at least unless/until Ryoko took to the skies and trivialized their danger.

"Hai! Show us your might, Ishigakure!" Souma cried out in response to the earthen armored shinobi, doing her best to bolster his own encouragement as she scanned the situation. With the armored shinobi moving in to aid Ryoko, and Isamu and the elephant dominating the large puppet there, Souma considered the field. Himari had three forming up on her; six on Ryoko; three were rushing her; one small one was aiding the larger one under attack by Isamu and the elephant; and three others were diverting their attention towards her. A balanced field, if Ryoko and the Ishigakure shinobi could manage half a dozen between them.

She hadn't forgotten about the brutalized puppet she'd disabled, either; it was still moving, albeit at a literal crawl, but it wouldn't do to forget it wasn't disabled. "SHINOBI! Aim to render their bodies useless- our foes do not seem capable of expiring from damage alone! Blunt attacks seem to bypass some factors of their natural resilience!" She shouted, doing her best to share what she'd gleaned from watching the elephant crush the one puppet and viewing the effect of her own attack.

As the trio closed in on her fearlessly, even after seeing the horrible tripod dispatched in a single blow, Souma registered the lack of self preservation as well. Snapping her arms out towards her sides, the steel cables coiled through her gauntlets slid out to follow her movements as she flowed into a liquid dance, guiding the chakra-infused cables as she spun her arms in a vertical windmill, swinging both downwards- and SLAMMING the infused cables into the earth, aiming to crush two of the puppets straight into the terrain beneath them as they approached with the same chakra-powered might that her own blows carried! Perhaps even more impressive, she slid fluidly from the mid-ranged attack into a double-palm strike towards the chest of the third, aiming to use the force of the attack to blast its chest out and leave its arms detached and useless!

[Kita Isamu]

Isamu grunted as the puppet managed to stay standing, though he grinned viciously when the elephant took advantage of his attack. With the puppet at least somewhat crushed, he had a bit more freedom to move, which he took full advantage of. Backing off slightly for the moment, he unsealed two of the exploding tags he carried, as well as a kunai to attach them to. It was unfortunate that Moriko likely wouldn’t be able to cut through the puppet’s hard exterior… so he’d just have to blast it open as best he could. 

Having attached the two exploding tags to the kunai, Isamu darted back in to help the elephant once more, Lament still out to parry any swings the huge puppet would make with its glaive. The puppet was largely immobile with the elephant hanging onto it, which Isamu intended to take full advantage of.

Waiting for an opportune moment, Isamu would dart in to stick the kunai where the puppet wouldn’t be able to remove it, aiming for a chink in the now crushed parts of its carapace. Signalling the elephant to drop the damaged puppet, he’d wait until the elephant was at least somewhat clear of the blast radius to set the tags off in a (hopefully) devastating explosion, scrambling to get out of the way himself. Clearly, sharp wasn’t working as well as he wanted it to on this big guy, though with any luck it would still do just fine on the smaller puppets.

Even with the explosion rocking the ground, the jounin didn’t let his guard down for even a second, unwilling to turn his back on such a large foe until he knew the thing was dead. He was confident enough in his sensory picking up any sneak attacks, but that didn’t stop him from trying to make sure, either.

SAs:
Silent Killing
Isamu was never one to be subtle in normal life, but as a shinobi he’s been practicing his stealth since he was old enough to even go to the academy. Through years of advanced training both as a normal shinobi and an ANBU operative, he’s learned and perfected his own silent killing technique. Though he cannot fool sensory ninja, if one were to use their full 5 senses to try and find him he’d move as though he were a ghost.

Enhanced Chakra Control
Isamu is no medical Nin, but he’s never liked the idea of losing control in battle. Whether that means learning how to stay calm, or to conserve his chakra and not use more than necessary, he’s always done everything in his ability to be able to fight effectively as a shinobi. Though he doesn’t have the astonishing control often attributed to medical shinobi, he can control his chakra better than the average shinobi and has learned how to use it in a more efficient manner.

Sensory Ninja
Never a prodigy in this particular field, Isamu has a slightly weaker sensory ability than the average sensor of his rank, but a sensory ability nonetheless. He does not specialize in Ninjutsu, and hasn’t fine-tuned the ability completely, but he is capable of passively sensing within a range of 200m, or actively sensing within the much larger range of about 2km.

Increased Evasiveness
Many years of his life have been spent dodging attacks from enemies and his bully of a brother alike. Somewhere along the way, Isamu developed enough reflexes and speed to more easily dodge such attacks, increasing his overall dodging capabilities and decreasing the amount of attacks he might take in combat. This has been honed entirely on instinct, and is mostly used without thinking.

High Volume Seals
Isamu has practiced seals until his fingers were sore and bleeding from the amount he’s drawn. He’s learned how to use them well, how to control his own chakra in the process of making them. Due to this experience in using seals, Isamu has figured out how to make his body seals store extra items, though as always with seals, the larger the item the less that can be sealed. On average, his body storage seals can hold roughly twice the depth of the average Karada Fuin.

[Okada Himari]

InitiationImmortal Machine Hell ya!"" Seeing the sight of the explosion was enough, along with hearing the rousing war cry of the Ishigakure nin as they pushed on in the fight. They just had to get through this in one piece. So that meant dealing with the monsters before them. A challenge, but she wasn't without her resolve just yet. Though as she feared, the sentient machines were sturdy. Even with her having delayed them, they still were on the warpath, splitting off as three would begin to press on her, as the others seemed to shift their attention else where on Souma. Master of Puppets With the extremely powerful medic now on the field, she'd hear her remark on the resilience, stating that blunt force attacks may be effective against them. It was possible that she could do something like that, though she imagined it would be a bit more challenging given their reach. Still, it wasn't impossible, which was something she reminded herself as she watched the three lumber to her position. It didn't help to see the one she hit be among them, but at least it showed some extra burn marks from the act. "Lets dance fellas...how bout the two step?" Lowering herself to the ground, she'd rush forward toward them, her eyes narrowing as she focused her sights on them. In drawing closer, the blonde female would launch herself into the air, driving her feet against the chest of one of the creatures that came in. With the impact hopefully knocking them back, she'd bounce herself off as she flipped into the air, twisting herself around as she landed near the other two. As they moved in to attack, she'd begin her attempt at getting them to strike at one another, diving down low as one of them moved in, trying to get them jumbled into each other as she evaded their attacks. Flashes of steel and blades would come to view, her narrowly keeping herself out of reach. But it was her hope that with her being so close, and the extension of their blades being so long, it was eventual that they'd hit each other. As one blade attempted to come down, she'd wait for the right moment to move out of the two's reach, ducking under the strike as she rolled to the side. Keeping her distance would be handing, and her eye on the other one as she waited to see if her attempt had been enough to see at least some kind of weakness.

This strike in particular has the potential to knock the wind out of the opponent as well as leave them short of breath for a few moments and could even knock them down. After performing the maneuver, if the strike successfully lands, the user kicks off of the chest of the opponent and is able to land on their feet. NAME: Fukisoku Kaihi [Irregular Dodging] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu ELEMENT: N/a HANDSEALS: N/a REQUIREMENT:Taijutsu Secondary or Agility SA DESCRIPTION: While any individual can try to jump from the path of an attack, those truly skilled at the art of evasion will find less obvious methods to avoid attacks. Dropping down to a split, flipping just over the area of attack, contorting their body into unusual angles and so on. This technique is effectively just a higher degree of training to use either the terrain or the blindspots of an attack to dodge in usual ways so that the user may either more readily escape or press their counter attack. -S.A Used- Show-Stopper Himari begun her career as an underdog, underestimated by many of her opponents within the ring due to her size. Yet, in spite of this, she would always come up with a way to win in the end, despite being at the disadvantage. This has much to do with her reflexes, capable of moving around her targets attempts and finding the openings she needs to take them down. More often than not, this serves as her means of protection in it being difficult to hit a someone that you can't accurately engage against. Though it operates on her instincts, it can be unreliable in some situations. Especially if Himari has not been able to figure out the exact anatomy of her opponent. Heart of a Champion During her run within the OWA, Himari would train constantly to build up her strength and stamina. She would need both in order to complete the various techniques that were involved in her style of wrestling. As such, strength training was key in her mind as she came up with an arrangement in order to continue to build upon those foundations taught to her. While she is indeed smaller than most of the people she encounters, her size does no more than give her the appearance of being less powerful than she is. Her ability to sustain stronger grapples upon her opponents is increase through this advantage, as well as the impact of her physical attacks. Legacy of a Champion Okada Riku was known throughout the world for her speed and agility when she was in the ring. Such is reflected upon her continue run until her retirement. This trait has been passed down by to her daughter as Himari has displayed incredible speed. This has only increased over the years, alongside her training with both her mother and other shinobi. She can move swiftly across the field with little issue, using her agile footwork to get in close on a target before they can even realize it. Excelling at this, she focuses on being evasive with this ability as well, allowing for her to be just as proactive in getting in, as well not getting hit in the process. Keen Eye After leaving the life of a performer, Himari was given the opportunity to help development the next generation of wrestlers for the OWA. This required that she further study the methods and means in which to help others increase their potential safely without causing injury to themselves. In doing this, she learned about the human body, as well as points upon which one could take advantage of a target and weaken them. While this was a skill she had learned through her career, she further used this knowledge to be more accurate of calculating strategies when dealing with opposition, as well as certain situations that required a keen insight into the anatomy of an individual. This insight also allows for Himari to properly control her own chakra with knowledge of her own limited and accessible supply. -Items Used- x1 Kunai x1Explosive Tag

[Yutakako Takara]

Immortal Machine: Right on Time

Support Squads Arrive at Coordinates

Ryoko concentrating her nine windmill shuriken to attack the singular puppet would be successful. Not one particular windmill shuriken, but the collection would riddle the puppet with brutal force. It'd break at the limbs and it's joints would suffer the easiest defeat, but with all nine striking it'd take more than a couple and fall apart onto the ground. A limb, but no head attached to it's body. The eyes on it's face flashing.

Upon the other five skavenger's advance, they'd find their target lift from the ground. Sending their weapon off back towards the arriving Ishigakure shinobi. Unarmed the airborne opponent wasn't going to be an easy target, but her slow drift back tempted them to at least try. Upon rushing up the one in the lead would stop, the one behind it crouching, as the other three take a turn rushing up the first two's backs and leaping to swipe at the floating kunoichi. If they all failed, they'd redirect their attention fully to the Ishigakure shinobi. Sentient enough to not try something they couldn't succeed at.

The Ishigakure shinobi hadn't the slightest clue what the girl was attempting to signal, but with the puppets focused upon her. He'd be able to swiftly slide into position at his downed allies. Stacking them up to be slung over one earth armor enhanced shoulder, before doing his best to carefully trot back. Retrieving his men to a position behind a somewhat forming 'ally line'. The closer they were to enemy arrival the harder recovering them would be later.

Souma had her heart in the right place, as they're join in on the rally call. It was appropriate for the squad leader, but a bit patronizing from the Iwagakure shinobi. These men were a mixture of genin and chuunin, their leader likely a special jounin. They were were out skilled by most of Iwagakure's party. That stated Souma would also have the best idea from visually seeing them closer up. These men had almost definitely been fighting for hours straight. Clear signs of muscle fatigue over all of them. A call to the enemies weakness would be wise, but her sentiment wasn't exactly 'true'. Blunt force wasn't these puppets weakness, but the extreme force of Chakra Enhanced Strength put these Puppets to rest easily. Metal versus metal, it enhanced with chakra enhanced strength, it'd be an easy turn over for Souma and her three puppets.

Himari would likely get the best feel for the Skavengers strength, it wasn't in their skill they weighed roughly more than a person. Acted with a decent level of swiftness in their step, they were definitely designed with speed. As they didn't slouch into approaching her. They rushed with the full intent to kill, but she'd find her plan to kick them off somewhat successful. The puppets were sent back a good distance, but the force to their chest wasn't enough to significantly damage the puppets. These Skavenger puppets though fought comparably in skill to that of a genin.

The larger puppets were more skilled, but they had their limits too. They were designed to endure and they were enduring a lot at the moment. The elephant on Ishigakure's side was no regular familiar, it had a shinobi companion like an Inuzuka or more commonly for an Iwa shinobi's understanding the Nekomata. It'd be using a doton enhancement on it's trunk to do the damage it did to this puppet. It also had the awareness, that when Isamu landed a kunai into the physical crack of the puppet, it'd let the puppet immediately go. Coiling it's trunk around the smaller puppet slicing at it's legs. Head turned away from the large puppet, as it'd explode.

The large crack on it's body was near it's upper right shoulder, so it's whole right arm would fall off. Bits of the puppets chest, back and face blasted off as shrapnel. It'd woozily step back in an awkward fashion, as it's joint plate was dented from the earlier assault. It'd half collapse, then it's remaining side of the face would flash up bright and alive. Returning to it's feet, it'd stand missing most of it's upper right body. Smoke emitting from the blast, as it'd rebalance to it's lighter self. Depth perception likely ruined, it'd quickly heat up. A literal heating up too, as a beating engine noise came from it's inner cavity. Fire exuding from the hole created on it. The machine clearly not working completely as intended, but in a hellish display it'd seem to greatly enhance it's speed. It's whole body starting to flare up, as the metal overheated. A fast and vicious swing immediately made by the large puppet for the elephants neck while it was crushing a Skavenger.

I'm sorry to force a narrative upon Toff e and Kitarel, but please just stick to it for the purpose of my approval OOC to this IC happenstance. You guys can start with training together when called or whatever you feel works best, but for everyone else's sanity it'll be unknown most likely to the rest an Academy student is among you.

Chakra Cost Notice: Due to the length of distance travelled, the cost of actually using any jutsu would add up more than the cost I listed. So even if you ended last rotation using a different means to travel, the cost I laid out is all you actually paid. HOWEVER; if you used any jutsu prior and don't deactivate it upon arrival to keep going, it'll be assumed the cast is paid that rotation instead of simply charged the maintenance. Similarly any jutsu that's cast and activated later will still be charged. Otherwise, if you just flared up your travel simply take the medium cost + shunshin use or additional low if applicable.

Posting Order: There will not be a posting order due to the majority vote siding with a 72hr posting period.

Posting Time: 72hrs after my post, it'll be expected that I will post again. So please make sure you've got your posts in or let me know you need x-amount extension. I will be at work in 72hrs, so expect the next response around 8-9PM EST on 12/9. If you all continue to post quickly, I'll try to keep my pace up with you all. If you miss a post and don't notify me, I will NPC your character and not just assume they paralyzed for a rotation.

Final Note: Everyone please have fun, if you're having any concerns or feel underwhelmed, then please let me know. I'll do my best to make this a fun and difficult experience without being unfair.

So exciting! Moriko couldn't help taking in all the action with a rivetting hum resonating to the core of her body. It was just so awesome! She was going to need to probably tell Sumi all about this so she wasn't going to let herself miss a single detail in the process of the battle. The most notable was the battle elephant that was in front of the shinobi here in Ishi. Its massive trunk acting like a mass weapon of war, destroying limbs of the titanic puppet that the girl found herself in close proximity.

Maybe she could convince Sumire to run here and try to fight one of these titanic war beasts in a sort of foot raise? Isamu was no slouch himself having begun the enacting violence she had expected of the man on an expedition to an unknown land given the mission that they were currently on. Having unleashed a massive number of thrusts before having thrown an explosive tag in combination with the elephants movements like it was a fluid afterthought. Near flawless execution from her perspective.

Isamu did not have the most explosive of entrances so far though. Instead there was an entirely different person who had captured that title in this battle, from her position she had watched Souma fly into battle with an explosive series of strikes that would absolutely wreck the smaller combatants that were being fielded. Her general intention to simply destroy every single machine has she made contact was awe-inspiring and incredibly terrifying. Honestly Momo almost wished she could float around and assist everyone. But Tattoo Man inquired her help first!

In a different sort of display was Himari was practically dancing around her enemies. Having kicked some away while moving through the incoming brood like a fish through water. An impressive display of reflex and thought in mind as she worked to entangle the enemy, though Momo could only see so much from her own position. Scanning around she would look to see if there were more coming from any given direction, prepared to warn Isamu about it as much as possible even with her lust to watch the fight in full display mentally.

Isamu's lack of connection with Moriko mentally likely as detrimental for their teamwork as it was a boon for the man's sanity. The girl's singularly focused ego the type to be overwhelmingly distracting and detrimental if one was not clear minded enough.

[aihara ryoko]

She hadn’t expected her shuriken to do quite so much as they had, but she was pleased when one of the bots fell to pieces. A little gesture of her pinky sends a few strings over, immediately attaching one to her doomstar, and another to the former threat’s blinking head to secure a grip on them.

.She didn’t have a great deal of time to survey the rest of the battle with so many opponents closing on her so quickly. Not hearing screams of horror she had to assume things were going okay. The other Ishi had stopped at the fallen nin and not come to her aid, so all was well set up for a quick closing to this little bout.

"Yeah.. that's totally gonna work..” She mutters with an amused smirk as the scavengers set to leaping off one to better reach her. A sudden burst of focused fire from her feet send her a little higher but more to the side.  Her evasion while in the air was far more fluid, and much faster. She had her doubts even her sensei could match her maneuverability. While she scoots aside her left hand lifts some beneath her cloak. She flits her fingers through numerous seals.

Eight of them in total, just a couple seconds of sealing for her. She had considered her flames, though their metal flesh might resist that. The fact that she was isolated with such a tight cluster of enemies made this a prime opportunity to test their swimming skills.

"Doton.. Yomi Numa”, she states with a growing grin.

No sooner do the words leave her lips, than the solid ground the six puppets were previously standing upon turns into a dense and muddy swamp, sucking mud seeking to sink and draw down anything unfortunate enough to be caught within it. It was no jutsu made for disabling, though. The sticky and thick mud was deep, and wouldn’t take long to completely consume those treading atop it. She shapes the region carefully, a great deal of chakra pouring out of her and seeping into an oblong circular-ish patch.

In the air Ryoko felt pretty safe. Her jutsu reached wide enough to fill in the area around the exit, reaching about half way to the three ishi nin, and consuming the fallen one’s body as well. Doomstar and severed head both remain safe, a little tug of her strings after the swamp is made drawing the doomstar closer, and keeping the head safe but well away from her for the moment.

Heaven forbid it explode or something!

Assuming the Scavengers are devoured by the hungry earth, Ryoko begins to jet off towards the other side of the clearing. She had used a lot of chakra and wanted a rest.

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: N/A

REQUIREMENT: Improved Chakra Control - Neutral Buoyancy in Air - DOTON: KEIJUGAN NO JUTSU [EARTH RELEASE: LIGHT-WEIGHT ROCK TECHNIQUE]

DESCRIPTION:
Functioning similar to the water walking jutsu, this technique allows Ryoko to emit a constant stream of katon chakra from her feet and hands. With her fine control over chakra she compresses the fire as it is formed and shapes it into a number of steady jets. These jets are weak by most standards, but they are designed to be used with neutral buoyancy in air.

The jets she forms create more than enough force to propel Ryoko through the air at impressive speeds. Her maneuverability is also very impressive, her legs and arms acting as vectored jets to let her fly backwards, upside down, sideways, or even just hover in mid-air. She can turn on a dime, spin in very rapid circles, and really move however she likes in three dimensions.

Due to her light weight and the thrust provided by her jets, Ryoko is able to fly about twice as fast as she can run.

Description
Yomi Numa is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Earth element. After forming the needed hand seals, a vast swamp can appear beneath the users target or targets to sink and kill them. It should be noted that if someone uses water walking before stepping on it they can avoid sinking. However, if they try to use it when they are already sinking in, the technique will not work.

[Kita Isamu]

Isamu’s plan had worked, somewhat, though he didn’t lower his guard as the giant puppet proceeded to get back up, still spewing flames. The elephant had understood him, though as it backed off it made the mistake of turning its head to the side, away from the puppet. While it did take on one of the smaller ones, the largest one was still a threat, and Isamu slid himself between the puppet and the elephant as fast as he could manage. The thing was fast, and its weapon massive, so there was no time to cast any proper jutsu.

Instead, the man raised his katana with a rather vicious snarl, somewhat annoyed at this point. His weaponry worked perfectly on most puppets, but whoever made these ones had clearly done their level best to make these things as indestructible as possible.

His arms had already felt a little strained from his technique usage, but this was enough that he knew he wouldn’t be able to hold the puppet for long, if at all, bringing his Kanata into the best block he could manage given the circumstances. While he’d planted himself between the elephant and certain demise, he also tried to keep his position advantageous to himself, body angled a bit more to the side for easier dodging if he had to get out of the way fast.

He still had his dodging skills, but they probably couldn’t beat the raw power or speed of the hellishly durable puppet. ”A little help here?” he shouted to the elephant, lip still curled at his opponent even in the sticky situation he found himself in.

Due to this experience in using seals, Isamu has figured out how to make his body seals store extra items, though as always with seals, the larger the item the less that can be sealed. On average, his body storage seals can hold roughly twice the depth of the average Karada Fuin.

[Okada Himari]

InitiationImmortal Machine Oh yall just shittin me..."" Master of Puppets Though her efforts may have given her information, that feedback was only that these things were built for speeds and less for solid strength. Which they proved in how rapidly they got back up to begin their attack anew. It was incredible by design, but horrifying just how reactive these machines could actually be in the field. Yet this speed was comparable to that of an up and coming Genin at best, meaning that they could be played with in a similar fashion. She just had to be careful of the knives. With them rushing back to her position, it proved that their readiness to engage was almost all programmed in there, or simply responsive to her assault of them. As she was forced back into the fray, she'd manage to slip in behind one of them, wrapping her arms around their waist as she lifted upward. Using her strength and pushing upward with her legs, she'd yell out as she flipped one of the raging machines into another one, rolling barely out of range of the third as it attempted to cut her down. It was her hope that continuing to use their mass against them, she could overwhelm them as such. But even she struggled with their weight in regards to her own strength, keeping herself low to the ground as she released a breath. Perhaps out of desperation, she'd draw out a line of wire, taking it out just as the third party moved in to strike. Twisting herself out of range, she'd loosen the strand of wire around the creatures arm, pulling it around in attempt to redirect it into itself in the process as she rounded to the other side of the attack. At best, it might impale itself, at worst, the wire would cut in her attempt, she'd be left boundlessly opposite of it's strike. SPOILER: Click to show -Jutsu Used- NAME: Fukisoku Kaihi [Irregular Dodging] RANK: C CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu ELEMENT: N/a HANDSEALS: N/a REQUIREMENT:Taijutsu Secondary or Agility SA DESCRIPTION: While any individual can try to jump from the path of an attack, those truly skilled at the art of evasion will find less obvious methods to avoid attacks. Dropping down to a split, flipping just over the area of attack, contorting their body into unusual angles and so on. This technique is effectively just a higher degree of training to use either the terrain or the blindspots of an attack to dodge in usual ways so that the user may either more readily escape or press their counter attack. [NAME] Okada-ryū: Okada Purekkusu [Okada Style: Okada Suplex][X] [RANK] B [CHAKRA USAGE] Low [CLASSIFICATION] Taijutsu [ELEMENT] N/A [PRE-REQUISITE] [DESCRIPTION] The Okada Suplex is a maneuver initiated by going behind the opponent and grabbing hold of the victim by the waist and lift them over their head and slam them onto the ground behind them. Applying pressure to the head and neck of their opponent with enough force to break it on contact. If the user has a secure enough hold and the opponent is unable to escape, the user could perform another. The user rather than hold the victim can or release them causing the opponent to land on the back of the head and neck if they have no way of breaking their fall, possibly causing further damage to the head and neck area. -S.A Used- Show-Stopper Himari begun her career as an underdog, underestimated by many of her opponents within the ring due to her size. Yet, in spite of this, she would always come up with a way to win in the end, despite being at the disadvantage. This has much to do with her reflexes, capable of moving around her targets attempts and finding the openings she needs to take them down. More often than not, this serves as her means of protection in it being difficult to hit a someone that you can't accurately engage against. Though it operates on her instincts, it can be unreliable in some situations. Especially if Himari has not been able to figure out the exact anatomy of her opponent. Heart of a Champion During her run within the OWA, Himari would train constantly to build up her strength and stamina. She would need both in order to complete the various techniques that were involved in her style of wrestling. As such, strength training was key in her mind as she came up with an arrangement in order to continue to build upon those foundations taught to her. While she is indeed smaller than most of the people she encounters, her size does no more than give her the appearance of being less powerful than she is. Her ability to sustain stronger grapples upon her opponents is increase through this advantage, as well as the impact of her physical attacks. Legacy of a Champion Okada Riku was known throughout the world for her speed and agility when she was in the ring. Such is reflected upon her continue run until her retirement. This trait has been passed down by to her daughter as Himari has displayed incredible speed. This has only increased over the years, alongside her training with both her mother and other shinobi. She can move swiftly across the field with little issue, using her agile footwork to get in close on a target before they can even realize it. Excelling at this, she focuses on being evasive with this ability as well, allowing for her to be just as proactive in getting in, as well not getting hit in the process. Keen Eye After leaving the life of a performer, Himari was given the opportunity to help development the next generation of wrestlers for the OWA. This required that she further study the methods and means in which to help others increase their potential safely without causing injury to themselves. In doing this, she learned about the human body, as well as points upon which one could take advantage of a target and weaken them. While this was a skill she had learned through her career, she further used this knowledge to be more accurate of calculating strategies when dealing with opposition, as well as certain situations that required a keen insight into the anatomy of an individual. This insight also allows for Himari to properly control her own chakra with knowledge of her own limited and accessible supply. -Items Used- x1 Kunai x1Explosive Tag
