It was inevitable that they would collide at some point. That's why his earth clone and fog were placements. They were needed to keep his opponent at bay, especially without knowing her abilities and traits. The woman was just as mysterious as he was. The only difference is that their abilities were silent. They could only be revealed through talking, or showing someone. Unlike that, it was hard to show someone that you were experienced with your senses. An assassin's motivation is to become connected with your senses, and act instinctively. To recognize sounds, familiar scents, different ones, etc. The mind was delicate, but very advanced. If someone knew how to train it right, it could become a glass cannon.
"Let’s get started then, yo!” the voice once again emerged, and Takumi took that as the go. Immediately he halted his fog releasing, and his rock clone pivoted around the Jounin. It ran in front of him and took stance. Foot steps were consistently growing now and he knew the woman was incoming. Now from the rate she was coming it seemed fast, and he needed to take a secondary measure. The man activated Kankaku with a single seal, immediately detecting the chakra presence meters ahead of him. They were both in the smoke.
"I don’t like hiding, yo! Fight me already. Yo!” She was close. That triggered his fight or flight mode. Springing off his left foot and flinging himself in a leap backwards. Immediately the ground shattered underneath him, and his clone.
Luckily for his sake he was in the air, but the pressure of the shock wave carried him back. As he flew backwards, he used the added air time to make a counter measure. The Jounin’s hands flew into a formation. The Sairin assassin spewed a watery liquid from his mouth, coating the ground up to 20 square meters ahead before he landed with his right foot; halting. The idea was to catch this brute, and stop this tank from making the next destructive move.
His clone lost balance during the attack, but was barely pushed back. Solid rock had a lot of weight added to it, surprisingly! Since Takumi and the clone switched in the fog moments ago, the real one wasn't identifiable; hopefully element of surprise was still at hand. They were both locked in a mind set of their own. The adrenaline rush that Takumi got was invigorating at this point. It made him antsy, hungry and excited to fight. Some might even mention they see him stifle a smile during cold combat. This was one of those occasions. The corner of his mouth lifted, a smirk given to the woman; left him impressed. She had a strong ability, incredibly strong and merciless. Never had he encountered someone with such 'explosive' power. Little did people know why he stood here today fighting for Iwagakure. Personally, he knew his clans heritage...these lands were sacred among his family. Some even called it "home", but he wouldn't go that far.
His objective was to protect this critical point. Maintain morale on the village of Iwagakure, establish dominance and help them politically if needed. Those who have worked with Takumi before knew he was a military asset, very strong and determined on his goals. He was decisive and critical. It was important to be serious when it came to such duties, but more importantly...involved. That's why he was here in mid-battle, dancing in the art of war; passionately.
Name:Mizuame Nabara - [Starch Syrup Capture Field]
Rank:C
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:Suiton
Description:
Mizuame Nabara is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Water Element. After forming the needed handseals, the user will expel a sticky liquid from their gullet. This liquid can cover approximately 20 square meters. If the target runs on top of the liquid, their feet will become glued to its sticky surface. If the ninja focuses chakra to their feet before touching the surface, they can hover above and move over it without hindrance. This allows the user or a comrade to charge and attack without fear of becoming bogged down as well.
NAME: Kankaku [Sense]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
Kankaku is a technique developed by Takumi to locate enemies in his fog. Utilizing his chakra, he can form a single seal and utilize chakra into his palm. The Fog's seal will interact with the current fog. If another body of chakra is inside the black fog, other than his own, he'd be able to "feel" them out with the fog. Since his fog is lined with his chakra, it's in "essence" a part of him. Only in this area would it be able to only tell -other- chakra sources, and a general direction of where they are coming from. They must be -in- the black fog for them to be detected.
