A miniscule of satisfaction passed through Takeshi’s body upon landing both of his hits successfully. It seemed though Eggplant brat could take a hit, judging by how well he handled them as he jumped back. That made things even better, after all it would be disappointing if the fight ended with just that, although it seemed the kid wasn’t too keen on close combat judging by his back away and lack of an immediate counter attack. Alas you couldn’t get what you always wanted mused silently Takeshi to himself as he tensed his body in preparations to dash towards his opponent and close the distance once more.
Just as he was about to move he saw the Purple head make a strange shape with his hand, intrigued by what he would do Takeshi stopped himself and instead observed what would follow. As a small cube began to form he decided that whatever it was he wouldn’t dodge it and just take it head on. While a part of his reason was his arrogance of being virtually indestructible speaking, another reason was that no matter what the attack would do, him shrugging it off or surviving it might deal a serious mental blow to his opponent.
Grinning at his own idea Takeshi began confidently walking towards his opponent in a slow pace awaiting the attack. He didn’t have to wait long and soon the small cube flew towards him, not making an effort to dodge he watched it expand on his entire left arm. The feeling he got from his arm was something he hadn’t felt before. It wasn’t pain seeing as that was impossible for him to feel with this form, no it was more like the sensation of something disappearing. Once the cube had fully collapsed Takeshi looked upon his arm and was surprised by the damage that had been done.
Most of his hand had been disintegrated with only his thumb and part of his fore finger remaining. But it wasn’t only that, further up his arm there were various place where it looked like something had skinned him or taken a bite out of him, the biggest bitemark being the missing chunk of his forearm near the elbow. Despite how his appendage looked there was no agony on Takeshi’s face or screams of pain coming from his mouth. In fact, there was no blood coming from this "wounds”, neither bone or muscles were visible too even if they should’ve been with this wounds. The only thing that could be seen was earth and stone where flesh should be instead.
Letting out a malicious laugh Takeshi couldn’t resist saying
"Is that all Purple Head. You’ll have to try harder than that.” Upon finishing the sentence, he would then concentrate a small amount of chakra and discreetly pull earth from under his feet and move it into his arm prompting it to begin regenerating to its former state. Once done he would resume his rush towards his opponent. If he is not interrupted this time instead of punching his opponent, he would instead lower himself closer to the ground a few steps before reaching and then rise up. While rising up he would also bring his knee up in attempt to hit the brat’s body.
NAME: Maisou no Jutsu [Burial Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu, Hijutsu
ELEMENT: Doton
DESCRIPTION:
This is the very first jutsu Yamakira clansmen learn after they have gone through the special ritual. This technique allows the user to wilfully turn their bodies into stone and dirt with just the barest amount of concentration. It also automatically shifts the user into stone and dirt upon being hit by an attack and allows them to reform back through sheer force of will, making them impervious to a lot of attacks that may be harmful or even lethal because they can just put themselves back together. They can move and think normally while in this form and so can fight as if they were flesh and blood. It also increases their strength and durability automatically upon shifting into their default stone and dirt form because stone is naturally stronger and tougher than flesh and bone.
There are drawbacks to this technique. Users can only reform themselves as long as there is earth or stone to reform themselves with. Raiton is a partial weakness as it can tear the hardened body to pieces, but that doesn’t stop the user from reforming back. The user’s true weakness though is suiton, as it erodes away their body and makes it next to impossible to reform the user’s body hit by the suiton due to the mud-like consistency it is forced to take. Thus, suiton is the best way to keep them down and out from a fight.
NAME: Bubun-tekina Dōka [Partial Assimilation]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu, Hijutsu
ELEMENT: Doton
DESCRIPTION:
This is the second jutsu Yamakira clansmen learn after they have gone through the Maisou no Jutsu technique. This technique allows the user to pull in the earth around them in order to regenerate themselves by putting in chakra into the earth and then pulling it in to one of their body parts. This technique can be used to heighten the user’s strength and durability at the specified body part by enlarging it as well.
NAME: Keimou Ni'i Ouda [Enlightened Knee Strike]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
The user lowers their body closer to the ground before rising up. Simultaneously they will bring their knee up towards their opponent and will smash it as hard as they can into their body. The force of the blow and strength of the user will be focused into that one striking point. The force of the blow does not stop there, as depending on the angle that the opponent is struck the force will carry on in a straight line as if the user had just struck clean through them.
Iwagakure's civil war was well underway. Revolutionaries and Loyalists had scattered all around the expansive country of Tsuchi no Kuni in order to secure vital parts of the country for their respective sides. In the country's East lied an important ravine. The deep chasm lay between Iwa and their ally of Takigakure. The cut in the earth was often bridged by earth jutsu and few forms of natural earthen bridges. It was the most direct route between the two villages. Taking control over one of the major pathways to the village's ally could turn the tide for Iwagakure.
