I made a promise

The movements were pulsations through the concealed Jounin's body, along with his clone but both now huffed in clear drainage of stamina. These huffs were muffled and no clear sign of detection. A trained man knew how to avoid showing sign of weakness. In this case it wasn't too much more fatigue than his clones, but that's considering the effort he did to compensate for the damage to his leg. His mind was in a flurry of instantaneous thoughts, but more so actions. By no means did he hold a prestigious brilliance, super human critical thinking etc. It was all experience of battle and war. In this case he was about to make worst case scenarios, prepare and do the most efficient moves possible. No one could ever be prepared for inevitable turns of life...

In this case his scars told that story, much like the wound in his leg...but the look in his eyes never faltered. Both he and his clone stared blankly into the fog as their hands did most of the work. In this case a wild shape viciously revealed itself, a fiery tail or at least what seemed familiar in feeling. Her pounce turned into a very threatening speed, but somehow slower? She cut through his chains like butter, but it was a very intentional thing. The clones hand maintained his seal, exerting more chakra and allowing the chains to snake in different directions. All being restored, replenished and showing to be much more persistent then originally thought. Much like they came for the sword before, the limbs, etc. It appeared she'd have the advantage with her transformation and abrupt movement. Her legs were the desired area and they'd creep from underneath the nearing warrior. All aiming to entangle, intertwine and wrap the legs in distorted angles. Takumi's hands shifted into another consecutive seals for defense. In this case to double time, he did them consecutively on both hands. So in total each hand did two, whilst his left hand held it's final seal(the fourth). The fog around tingled with the instant concentration of chakra, but more so the manipulation factor. In this case he'd be using excess chakra to make sure he'd maintain the tide of battle for beneficial purposes.

A solid wall large enough to block both the incoming crescents in front of the duo. In this case it was propelling forward the minute it blocked the assault, but it was aimed to take this lessened speed to an advantage. The wall was widening and heightening at an increased pace. Much like pieces of a puzzle the fog was gathering together into a blackened display of fortitude. This wall moved like a projectile at the approaching swords'woman'; eight feet wide, sixteen foot tall. Two more hidden shapes formed in the midst of the darkness surrounding the potentially moving Etsuko. They were like snipers, waiting and locating for the precise moment; completely hidden. They were anticipating the dodge, left or right or the moment of defense she may have. Once taken, they'd bombard her location one after another.

If done so, this technique will now cost a high amount of chakra. It can cover a 30-50m diameter in a harmless fog. Once done, the user can form the needed hand seals to use said fog in a creative way. One can form rectangular shaped objects, or otherwise square. Utilizing it either as a defense, supplementary or even offense. These objects can be projectiles as well. Often challenging someone who may have a Speed related SA, or perhaps specializes in Taijutsu. The size is often limited, width like eight feet, and height of roughly 16 feet maximum. A multitude of them can be made, roughly four maximum and can be used together to make structures. Their durability can be considered next to steel, making their defensive capabilities highly dependable as well as their offense. Capable of knocking out those who are directly hit, bone shattering, and can even kill on a strike. It is not advised to take one of these head on.

Used SA(s)



Trained Assassin



Through countless years of traditional methods, Takumi became a trained killer. Their instincts, senses and other forms of basic senses were tools for killing. Overall his awareness is heightened above the average humans. His usage of his senses were skilled. Nothing like how an animals is, such as a dog or even the famous Inuzuka. He was trained to know what to look for, trained to know incoming threats, minor sounds, foot steps, how to be close to absolutely silent, and familiarizing himself with scents around. His detection skills were skillful. It was experience of battle and war.



Ninjutsu Master



Through advanced training, mastery of various ninjutsu techniques and large chakra reserves. It's simply a master to possess the ability to perform, and outlast other ninja in this field. S-rank techniques are within' their ability, and they shine outstandingly. It's evident that Takumi's skill is so prominent he can now perform one-handed seals. Meaning he can use his other hand while conjuring a ninjutsu techniques.



Instinctive Fighter



Capable of holding a keen set of eyes, awareness and proper usage of peripherals. Sairin shinobi have practiced their eyes to mimic it, and now can be able to follow the fastest of ninja.





Chakra Fountain of Amegakure



Born with large amounts of chakra, considered above average and continued to train it. Having both a specialty and a inner-gift of a natural fountain of chakra. A result of many creations, flourishing repeatedly. This reserve has been expanded to the fullest extent thought known possible for a normal human. Many can mistake this large surplus of chakra for a tailed beast. This has given his presence to all sensors of chakra the name 'Chakra Fountain of Amegakure'. A shinobi capable of performing limited techniques even after performing an extremely taxing one.



"Dark Road Techniques"



The clan possesses the ability to use a set of secret techniques known as Yamiji no Jutsu. It allows them to produce a black fog composed of raw chakra and manipulate it into various forms. The fog, while normally vapour in form is easily susceptable to shape manipulation and can become a liquid or a solid depending on the jutsu used. The black fog is usually prepared before hand and sealed away within the clan's personal stylized seals on the palms of their hands, but the seals are not limited to being placed there. This is because the black fog usually takes time to create, as it requires one to manipulate their raw chakra into a completely different form.



Takumi is extremely proficient in his clan's methods, considering it's the first real techniques he's knew. Over the course of twenty years he collected many tricks, and realization on the nature of the Yamiji. His seal takes form of a "eternal" knot, largely planted on his right hand. The seal can withhold great deals of previously made chakra, but it's limited based on how skilled the user is:

Takumi can fuel enough chakra to do two high techniques, but no more after. This can be distributed differently such as: One very high technique, and a low technique after. One high technique and a two mediums, or a handful of lows after. It's a large amount he has, but it's not infinite. It took twenty years to manifest this...it's not an average feat.





Black Presence



All clan jutsu(dark road techniques) created, or used by Takumi will have a 25% reduction to their costs. It's also noted his familiarity of such techniques are notorious. Takumi can now naturally sense those in his fog, pretty accurately and the chakra-made cloud is like an extension of his sense of 'touch'. The slightest movements can be detected within' it.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi The sound of her crescent blades striking wasn't that of with a person or clone, it'd be the hint she'd be knocking heads with something steel. A rock or wooden defense would of been split clean by her chakra blades. Her attention would be mostly towards the target she closed in upon, the reviving chains were ultimately but a nuisance. She'd proven more than able to slice and dice them to nothing, his change of target was quite smart. If he'd done with move earlier prior to her transformation, it could of likely worked and thrown her off entirely. However now her sense were pushed past that of her touch, she could feel things prior with her cloak. A tail even added to give her more awareness of her behind, a spot which burned of her bijuu's seal. Her tail was more than just decoration and Etsuko's sword mastery would be shown now further. Her tail quickly drawing a sword in a flick, as to cut down the chains attempting to surround her. The sneak attack was countered by inhuman defenses, her sword would tap the oncoming wall. She'd consider the likelihood she could cut the wall for less than a fraction of a second. Her tail would violently strike the ground, as her feet would shoot off the earth. Jumping in reaction to the wall, she'd scale it with a flip and use it too kick off back on course. There were two other mobile walls in the fog, but she had little to detect them until last second. Etsuko needed to fight the man and his clone, it was the fastest way to guarantee a victory. Speed was her game. She'd feel totally out of her element in this fog, but defeat and surrender weren't options. Again Etsuko would attempt to clear the gap and force both Lord and clone into close quarter combat. He'd cast range ninjutsu faster than her, especially with her fastest projectile technique blocked and dodged multiple times now. Her move hitting in this smog would be impossible, so her only hope was to find him. Matabi silently waiting in the back of Etsuko's mind, she wondered where an opening would appear. It started to seem like none would arrive and to the Bijuu that wasn't acceptable. 'How far do I take this...' Matabi would think to herself, as she'd be unsure if and when to intervene again. A jump to the one tail transformation was enough, it had to be enough to crush a single mortal. SPOILER: Click to show SA WORTH MENTION: Whirlwind Step #1 Etsuko is well known for her speed, she's by no means weak, but her pace is high beyond most. The first reason being her style of fuuton assisting her bukijutsu, she uses her chakra almost purely to assist her movements. Due to this she's mastered her evasive and speed enhancing fuuton to a great degree, she'd often referred to as having the ability to walk on air. Using wind currents she's able to pull and push herself around a fight, while using shift and her higher level Bukijutsu she's able to make these movements at the fastest pace in the least amount of time. Her Jinchuuriki status has greatly helped her manage the chakra lose involved in using such supplementary jutsu. Her whirlwind step though also refers to her uncanny ability to charge an opponent and instead of lunging at them, she almost gravitates around a person when charging, keeping a small distance between her and her opponent allowing maximum trick weapon efficiency. Weighted Training #2 Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed. Amazing Swordplay #4 Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile. Nibi Jinchuuriki #5 Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time. Chakra Shroud [No Tail] This is the form of control Etsuko is most commonly known to be granted, to foolish people it's mistaken as her full control, as it's seen as she needs to show no feature of the bijuu to cast it's flame and have more speed. The actual speed boost to Etsuko is beyond that of any normal shinobi, rivaling maybe surpassing even some delivery ninja and speed orientated shinobi. The speed boost though is below the greatest bonus of the no tail shroud, as it allows Etsuko to ignite her Fuuton with Nibi's chakra as to almost mimic katon techniques out of them. The fire also naturally then enhances her normal wind chakra applications to a weapon, it's however the nature of this chakra which causes it to look like a ghost flame encircling Etsuko's entire frame. When using Fuuton motions they often combust limiting their ability to boost Etsuko's speed, but give a fiery flare to her moves. When unarmed she can grow sharp claws to assist in fights she didn't know would be fights. Her physical appearance remains about as normal as it always did otherwise. Chakra Shroud [1 Tail] Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape. JUTSU USED: NAME: Chō Biburāto Raitontō - [Supervibrato Lightning Release Sword] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: Raiton DESCRIPTION: Without the need for hand-seals, the user will channel raiton chakra through their blade. No matter the shape, size or type of blade, spear, short-sword, Katana, even an arrow or Kunai. The blade will appear normal until it comes in contact with an object, such as other metal or stone, when it will glow brightly. This jutsu greatly increases the cutting power of a weapon, allowing it to cleave through most natural objects with ease. It cannot cut through other Chakra enhanced blades.

During all of these movements the Sairin was tracking her intently on setting the final score, or otherwise finding a way to immobilize the beast. At this point it was obvious she was a Jinchuuriki, but starting to use those overwhelming powers to her benefit. In the course of all the moves, inside he was a master and a puppeteer of blackened creations. The abyss itself was literally a sense of feeling to him, in terms of sensory and could locate or react naturally due to his familiarizing over the years using the old 'Kankaku' technique. At this point she proved to have a sense inside this fog, but it was different. The chains seemed to entangle, but at the last second she'd be able to wipe them off. The smack of the tail and the lift to the wall proved enough for him to use his final measure.

The incoming wall she attempted to land on would dissipate, being nothing, but forcing her to lose the footing she thought she was going to have. This was all because of the sword touch that had made contact, forcing the Sairin to believe it had been cut, or otherwise had an opening to envelop her or switch us tactics. During of which the two very close hovering pillars skyrocketed downwards to pummel the immobilized woman. Both large in size, the maximum capable. They were far enough away to not be detected, but proved close enough to compensate the speed at which she paced herself. The clone's hand outstretched, open palm but fingers bent inwards ready to squeeze. CLAMP! All at once the surrounding fog that was dissipated would grow to encase her, squeezing hard and literally almost being absorbed to coat her outer body.  All factors were considered, but inside the fog she was being observed. The Raven's eyes were almost everywhere, or at least what it seemed in the presence of the Lord's fog. Luckily for the clone, he'd only need to keep his initializing seal, use his other hand for the purpose of entrapment; multitasking.

[Shadow Clone Technique][x1]

NAME: Kuro hitsugi [Black Coffin]

RANK: B

CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A

DESCRIPTION:

Due to Takumi's increased control of the fog(Kankaku technique), he can now feel out bodies of chakra within' the black fog and use that to locate his target. Quickly if he asserts enough chakra he can force the fog to gather toward that body of chakra. Doing so he can form a single seal to solidify the incoming fog and crush the target. Obviously it requires a post to make the fog, a post to locate the target and a post to use. It's a high preparation technique overall, but devastating if landed.

-Fog Basin(C-rank) [or a nearby fog source] is a requirement for the technique.
-Sense(D-rank) [or another form of sensing] is a requirement for the technique.

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi Etsuko wouldn't be as easily thwarted as he'd hope, it was clever of him to dismantle his wall. However she'd only used it as a kick off point to save her chakra, as soon as she'd feel her feet make no contact she'd react. Her reaction was quick as she'd immediately default to the technique she perfected most, it'd not quite react as it normally would. Her motions not swiftly boosted, but much more violently. Immediately upon focusing her chakra to her feet they'd ignite, a sudden burst off almost white flame rocketing the woman forward. The common practice was to enhance her feet and weapon, but she'd thankfully be trying to conserve her energy. Her weapons integrity already wearing enough as it was in her own grasp. Etsuko was hotheaded when it came to combat, she wanted to be the aggressor. Each attempt the Jinchuuriki made was thwarted though, as her dodge would narrowly save her from being crushed it'd also displace her. She'd have much less control in her end path, her technique ending as soon as it started. She'd catch her feet on the ground, then vanish as quickly as possible. No longer relying on the force of her wind, she'd simply stick to the normal shunshin. Her body shooting to the top of the cage, as she'd catch herself lost looking into an endless black cloud. Her body hanging upside down over the arena, as she'd try to question where to attack. A circle arena with it's basin covered mostly in this man's fog, as well as very few destructible objects to mark. The Jounin didn't know how she was supposed to track this man down, she didn't know where she'd thought she heard him fall too. It was a straight path moments ago, but he could move and she couldn't tell if or when. Barring fangs she'd growl down to the adversaries smoke, it wasn't loud enough to be easily audible. It was less purposeful and more reactionary. Etsuko at this point had realized the purpose of the fog, it'd be otherwise impossible to surround her with so many chains. "Fuuinjutsu?" "I don't like it, if it is..." Matabi would respond with her own snarl, it wasn't going the way either Matabi or Etsuko wanted.

Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape. JUTSU USED: NAME: Suifuto no Ite [Swift Shooter] RANK: S-rank CHAKRA USAGE: Very High CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: Fuuton DESCRIPTION: Focusing her futon nature to her feet and her weapon, Etsuko can charge at almost shunshin speed, she's not however limited to charging forward, she can launch herself in almost any direction with a release of wind chakra from her feet, however her feet not being the only thing charged makes this technique more than an advanced shift technique, instead it also acts as Etsuko's signature attack pattern. Keeping her enemy on the guard with quick shifts, she'll attempt to dart around the user and fire her Homing Blade at the blind spot of an enemy, she'll sometimes combine this with other techniques, to enhance the single attack, but if this technique is dodge, the user is capable of using the vast chakra in the blade to recall it to it's sheath or her hand. Once back in sheath she can rinse and repeat her technique at a costing chakra drain. Etsuko's gotten the title fortune's blade from her ability to faint an attack, which she uses to trigger an opponents counter, which she's prepared herself mentally to dodge. Once dodged, she'll usually be at an opponents rear a good five yards behind them, but still in the striking range of her released Homing Blade. NAME: Chō Biburāto Raitontō - [Supervibrato Lightning Release Sword] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: Raiton DESCRIPTION: Without the need for hand-seals, the user will channel raiton chakra through their blade. No matter the shape, size or type of blade, spear, short-sword, Katana, even an arrow or Kunai. The blade will appear normal until it comes in contact with an object, such as other metal or stone, when it will glow brightly. This jutsu greatly increases the cutting power of a weapon, allowing it to cleave through most natural objects with ease. It cannot cut through other Chakra enhanced blades. NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General] ELEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: By invigorating one's entire body with chakra, a shinobi can seemingly disappear and reappear in another location faster than most people can see. Often times one's movements are disguised with the use of an extra element, be it a smoke bomb, leaves, water, sand, etc. in order to hide the user's trajectory from those with skilled eyes. Though it mimics teleportation, it is important to remember this jutsu merely boosts the agility of its user. As useful as this technique is, it can only be used 4 times in a battle thread, and any more usages beyond that result in muscle tears in the legs from overexertion.

Takumi wasn't as agile in the sense of keeping up with the incredible pace, but he had figments of moments he could effectively act. Etsuko proved to be a legendary shinobi when it came to the arts of agility, the combination of weapons included paired for a deadly duo. As effective as the trick was it ceased to be important as she utilized her outrageous speeds. He intended to pulverize her with the colossal pillars, but her abrupt change of pace darted her to catch a split second wind. The other clone already had his hand extended, waiting and fueled the pressure. The main seal always being held, especially from earlier with the chains. Their duties were distributed into sections; one capture, one strike. A full offensive to counter act the vicious assault from earlier. In this case his defenses weren't lacking either, but a ninja never revealed their tricks. The feeling never differed. A giant cloud of his chakra itself followed her movements abruptly, the same hand enclosing and slowly suctioning all the fog as she moved. A figurative move considering the seal itself did all the work. The very fog that already settled around her slowly went to form around the chakra cloak first. Little by little. Her feet connected to stop, prepare and launch herself with the shushin the fog would continue harshly. All directions would implode to gather as she tried to free herself from its clutches with her jump. A pouring fountain of chakra, black, harsh and encasing her as a whole. The rest also gathering, hugging and gaining mass by the second. It was a collective force that was solidifying, entrapping and encased those who didn't take a precaution before it formed. The rest of the fog would attract with great amplitudes swirling on the attempting to shushin shinobi. A weight of such power would prove effective in slowing down, but with the layers which even seeped from the arena top would prove even harsher. 

The very essence of the Lord, plus his clone seemed to draw in this special smog, but only layering around his presence. Determination was of his nature but they both had tenacity to continue. His own antics relying on the arena as a whole, but whilst she was distracted he hoped his combination attack had worked. A final object was able to appear, but only where the Jounin desired. Her movements suggested a jump, but with her prior speed he could only prepare for the worst. The quickened foggy grip also kept a firm keen location on her. //Foot and leg work...// his mind trailed into speech as he focused instinctively. A gigantic roof, maximum sized shape but a pillar of several feet to be parallel vertically to her. The same roof which only sought to halt any type of exiting leap. It was formed higher up in case she did succeed, but knowing the technique himself understood the consequences with foretold barriers at such speeds. In this case, it'd be traveling down wards and moving at incredible speeds at creation to halve the time it might hit too. Since he had a fairly good distance of thirty meters till the top, his fog reaching it, he'd be able to create it subliminally during their minor exchange.

Jutsu Technique(s)

NAME: Yamiji Dōka shimasu [Dark Road Assimilate][x1 Object]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: Four; last one held.
Requirement(s): One Clan SA; Chakra Control or larger reserves. A-rank shinobi or higher additionally.
DESCRIPTION:
The Dark Road Assimilation technique is a barrier broken for the Sairin. More specifically, it's one of the pinnacles of the control for the Dark Road chakra. It was created in high hopes to extend his power from the Village Supremacy Tournament. This technique is utilizing the chakra a new way, more free and fluent. Only costing a medium amount of chakra, however, if not having enough fog around, the user can release an explosion of fog from their seal. If done so, this technique will now cost a high amount of chakra. It can cover a 30-50m diameter in a harmless fog. Once done, the user can form the needed hand seals to use said fog in a creative way. One can form rectangular shaped objects, or otherwise square. Utilizing it either as a defense, supplementary or even offense. These objects can be projectiles as well. Often challenging someone who may have a Speed related SA, or perhaps specializes in Taijutsu. The size is often limited, width like eight feet, and height of roughly 16 feet maximum. A multitude of them can be made, roughly four maximum and can be used together to make structures. Their durability can be considered next to steel, making their defensive capabilities highly dependable as well as their offense. Capable of knocking out those who are directly hit, bone shattering, and can even kill on a strike. It is not advised to take one of these head on.

[Shadow Clone Technique][x1]

NAME: Kuro hitsugi [Black Coffin]

RANK: B

CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A

DESCRIPTION:

Due to Takumi's increased control of the fog(Kankaku technique), he can now feel out bodies of chakra within' the black fog and use that to locate his target. Quickly if he asserts enough chakra he can force the fog to gather toward that body of chakra. Doing so he can form a single seal to solidify the incoming fog and crush the target. Obviously it requires a post to make the fog, a post to locate the target and a post to use. It's a high preparation technique overall, but devastating if landed.

-Fog Basin(C-rank) [or a nearby fog source] is a requirement for the technique.
-Sense(D-rank) [or another form of sensing] is a requirement for the technique.

Used SA(s)



Trained Assassin



Through countless years of traditional methods, Takumi became a trained killer. Their instincts, senses and other forms of basic senses were tools for killing. Overall his awareness is heightened above the average humans. His usage of his senses were skilled. Nothing like how an animals is, such as a dog or even the famous Inuzuka. He was trained to know what to look for, trained to know incoming threats, minor sounds, foot steps, how to be close to absolutely silent, and familiarizing himself with scents around. His detection skills were skillful. It was experience of battle and war.



Ninjutsu Master



Through advanced training, mastery of various ninjutsu techniques and large chakra reserves. It's simply a master to possess the ability to perform, and outlast other ninja in this field. S-rank techniques are within' their ability, and they shine outstandingly. It's evident that Takumi's skill is so prominent he can now perform one-handed seals. Meaning he can use his other hand while conjuring a ninjutsu techniques.



Instinctive Fighter



Capable of holding a keen set of eyes, awareness and proper usage of peripherals. Sairin shinobi have practiced their eyes to mimic it, and now can be able to follow the fastest of ninja.





Chakra Fountain of Amegakure



Born with large amounts of chakra, considered above average and continued to train it. Having both a specialty and a inner-gift of a natural fountain of chakra. A result of many creations, flourishing repeatedly. This reserve has been expanded to the fullest extent thought known possible for a normal human. Many can mistake this large surplus of chakra for a tailed beast. This has given his presence to all sensors of chakra the name 'Chakra Fountain of Amegakure'. A shinobi capable of performing limited techniques even after performing an extremely taxing one.



"Dark Road Techniques"



The clan possesses the ability to use a set of secret techniques known as Yamiji no Jutsu. It allows them to produce a black fog composed of raw chakra and manipulate it into various forms. The fog, while normally vapour in form is easily susceptable to shape manipulation and can become a liquid or a solid depending on the jutsu used. The black fog is usually prepared before hand and sealed away within the clan's personal stylized seals on the palms of their hands, but the seals are not limited to being placed there. This is because the black fog usually takes time to create, as it requires one to manipulate their raw chakra into a completely different form.



Takumi is extremely proficient in his clan's methods, considering it's the first real techniques he's knew. Over the course of twenty years he collected many tricks, and realization on the nature of the Yamiji. His seal takes form of a "eternal" knot, largely planted on his right hand. The seal can withhold great deals of previously made chakra, but it's limited based on how skilled the user is:

Takumi can fuel enough chakra to do two high techniques, but no more after. This can be distributed differently such as: One very high technique, and a low technique after. One high technique and a two mediums, or a handful of lows after. It's a large amount he has, but it's not infinite. It took twenty years to manifest this...it's not an average feat.





Black Presence



All clan jutsu(dark road techniques) created, or used by Takumi will have a 25% reduction to their costs. It's also noted his familiarity of such techniques are notorious. Takumi can now naturally sense those in his fog, pretty accurately and the chakra-made cloud is like an extension of his sense of 'touch'. The slightest movements can be detected within' it.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi A roof was a quick scheme to stop the Jounin, his pace to put it in her place was astonishing. Her pace set to near instant seemingly countered at every bend. It was one of her biggest tropes and she'd not feel right losing by it, but this was the situation Matabi knew she couldn't stifle her power out. Etsuko was the first person after the sage she didn't totally hate. As soon as the woman's sword connected to the roof, she'd scream and internally it'd ring all around the Bijuu. "MATABI!" She'd howl to her bijuu leaving it no choice but to act, it was made apparent by the gathering fog. He'd planned to trap her and she needed to get out of the trap immediately. The shunshin should of worked, he shouldn't of been able to track that fast. Flash Back A child of black hair and copper eyes, short in stature and trembling in amazement stood upon a beast. A giant two tailed cat of fire and destruction, it was behind bars and somehow even the young child knew it was in her mind and body. She wasn't foreign to the cage either, but she didn't understand the freedom of it. Her training barely only begun, but once upon a time even the nibi jinchuuriki was a small. A stature that couldn't be strong by nature, it'd hardly developed but training started early. A weapon needed sharpening from start to finish. "Tell me, do you want to be like them when you grow up? This shinobi training it hurts... I see you're in pain. Release me and I'll make them pay for you even." Matabi would broker with her host. The girl looked innocent enough, but she was bruised beyond belief. Her training wasn't just rigorous it was rougher than near any other Takigakure shinobi seemed to be enduring. A woman of devil threads commanding every beating and all of it in the name of her growth. To a child the concept of growth couldn't of seemed to strange. She didn't know she could be a jounin, an adult or even wield a sword. Etsuko wasn't beat so senseless she didn't know, her young and growing brain took the question deeper than the bijuu would expect. The people training her not only made it clear she was a weapon, but they kept the message of being stronger was the only goal worth achieving. There wasn't anyone she knew stronger than Matabi. "I wanna be like you when I grow up." Etsuko would smile possibly the happiest smile she'd ever bare upon her face. It seemed so simple and made her so proud to state. "Idiot! You'll never be like me, those like me were born once and only once!" Matabi couldn't be angrier her proposal denied and responded with an answer she considered cocky and foolish. She didn't have a younger host and didn't understand children, she couldn't see the endless hope she'd single handily crushed. To her there was an opening to escape and the foolish brat would resist. What a waste of her breath and time. Etsuko's eyes open widen as her pupils would expand, her lip quickly beginning to tremble. The child losing all control of herself, as she'd burst out into tears aloud. Unaffected by the fear Matabi was trying to incur, she'd stand her ground. "I wanna be..." She'd stutter in a sobbing tone, as she'd flood tears from her eyes and snot from her nose. Lacking amusement the Bijuu would scuff and growl. "If you're going to cry then I'll do as them and ignore you..." Matabi would remove herself from the cage's edge. The two would mentally break parts and Etsuko would be left sitting in her own misery. She'd assume no one liked her because she cried, so she'd tell herself she wouldn't do it anymore. She'd however promise herself to never give up, so she could prove Matabi wrong. So she could be like her and be respected by her. Without hesitation the Bijuu would once again funnel it's strength to Etsuko. "I'm not doing this because I like you..." Matabi would snarl disliking greatly the circumstances in which this situation came together. Etsuko's sudden increase of surrounding chakra wouldn't be shown proudly, but instead immediately put to use. Following the eruption of chakra the Jounin's S-rank would kick right back in once more, it'd be applied to both feet and sword. Continuing her projected path up as well as blasting through the opposition with an intense heat flash. Her sword empowered by both the cloak and the S-rank technique thrusting he way through roof, before landing atop the cage. She'd cling to the cage with one tailed wrapped through the cage openings, as her other tail kept her drawn sword at the ready. "I can't fight in that fog any longer. That wall he created seemed on par to some sort of steel wall. I'd need to be constantly rocketing through to even get to him." Etsuko would decide now more than ever to scheme with her Bijuu. They for once seemed to share a mutual goal in defeating this man. "Your speed is mine in this cloak, so you won't be needing that silly wind technique." Matabi would reply. Etsuko didn't like the reply though. She'd grit her teeth and continue to be on defensive and evasive side. SPOILER: Click to show SA WORTH MENTION: Whirlwind Step #1 Etsuko is well known for her speed, she's by no means weak, but her pace is high beyond most. The first reason being her style of fuuton assisting her bukijutsu, she uses her chakra almost purely to assist her movements. Due to this she's mastered her evasive and speed enhancing fuuton to a great degree, she'd often referred to as having the ability to walk on air. Using wind currents she's able to pull and push herself around a fight, while using shift and her higher level Bukijutsu she's able to make these movements at the fastest pace in the least amount of time. Her Jinchuuriki status has greatly helped her manage the chakra lose involved in using such supplementary jutsu. Her whirlwind step though also refers to her uncanny ability to charge an opponent and instead of lunging at them, she almost gravitates around a person when charging, keeping a small distance between her and her opponent allowing maximum trick weapon efficiency. Weighted Training #2 Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed. Amazing Swordplay #4 Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile. Nibi Jinchuuriki #5 Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time. Chakra Shroud [No Tail] This is the form of control Etsuko is most commonly known to be granted, to foolish people it's mistaken as her full control, as it's seen as she needs to show no feature of the bijuu to cast it's flame and have more speed. The actual speed boost to Etsuko is beyond that of any normal shinobi, rivaling maybe surpassing even some delivery ninja and speed orientated shinobi. The speed boost though is below the greatest bonus of the no tail shroud, as it allows Etsuko to ignite her Fuuton with Nibi's chakra as to almost mimic katon techniques out of them. The fire also naturally then enhances her normal wind chakra applications to a weapon, it's however the nature of this chakra which causes it to look like a ghost flame encircling Etsuko's entire frame. When using Fuuton motions they often combust limiting their ability to boost Etsuko's speed, but give a fiery flare to her moves. When unarmed she can grow sharp claws to assist in fights she didn't know would be fights. Her physical appearance remains about as normal as it always did otherwise. Chakra Shroud [1 Tail] Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape. Chakra Shroud [2 Tail] Etsuko: In the situation of a trap or a fight between those clearly beyond Etsuko's regular Bukijutsu, as well as beyond being able to pacify with a one tailed releases aid. The difference between Etsuko's first and second tailed release is the flames which cloak her now burn brightly like a living flame than a chakra veil, it appears to be a denser flame around her clothes, so that her facial and human physical features are still noticeable. The obvious second tail is added to Etsuko's back side, she'll often arm both tails with a katana, as despite not being able to extend her chakra cloak freely, Etsuko is now able to encase her weapons in the Nibi's Cloak. Englufed by the chakra the weapons no longer wear like in the first tailed form, but the weapons now encased with chakra lose their cutting edge, but gain a hotter, stronger strike instead. The speed boost granted by the second cloak allows Etsuko to move at the pace of her S-rank, as well as gives her the kicking force to lunge or jump as far as one stride of Matabi in her full release form. Faster and Stronger, Etsuko gains the ability to take on stacked odds with a greater ease, but it'd only be against those stacked odds she'd be allowed this power. JUTSU USED: NAME: Suifuto no Ite [Swift Shooter] RANK: S-rank CHAKRA USAGE: Very High CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: Fuuton DESCRIPTION: Focusing her futon nature to her feet and her weapon, Etsuko can charge at almost shunshin speed, she's not however limited to charging forward, she can launch herself in almost any direction with a release of wind chakra from her feet, however her feet not being the only thing charged makes this technique more than an advanced shift technique, instead it also acts as Etsuko's signature attack pattern. Keeping her enemy on the guard with quick shifts, she'll attempt to dart around the user and fire her Homing Blade at the blind spot of an enemy, she'll sometimes combine this with other techniques, to enhance the single attack, but if this technique is dodge, the user is capable of using the vast chakra in the blade to recall it to it's sheath or her hand.

NAME: Kinobori no Waza [Act of Tree Climbing] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General] ELEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: An advanced genin level technique, it serves as a means to both enhance chakra control when mastered as well as a means to change one's advantages on the battlefield. By applying chakra to the soles of the feet, the shinobi gains the ability to walk and stand on vertical surfaces or even upside down. Sairin Takumi , Notes , other cool stuff

[Oonakayama Arashi]

a falling star fell from your heart.

It was difficult to say just who it was that the teen was rooting for, the actions of the fight below her escalating more and more as time continued. Each combatants were giving just as much as they got, yet she found the level in which they were on seeming to be endless. Arashi just looked on, eyes darting from one side to the next, keeping up with them as best as she could. In the end, had she even managed to get this far, there was likely no way she would have performed as greatly as her previous opponent. Hence, why she felt that her picking sides on this might make her go with that of the Lord of Amegakure.

Despite the feeling of defeat having slowly faded to more or less a sore spot, the teen knew that being fickle about someone based on one experience wasn't fair in the least. Even if, most of their confrontations had been a bit hostile. Still, as the strong burst of Chakra emerged from the Taki nin, the dark haired female would nearly fall off the stands, her body leaning over as she looked on even more intently.

That aura......That was the chakra of more than just the girl she had fought...It was mixed in with that of a monster.

"Oh shit.....She's doing it....."


It probably didn't matter if she was on her side or not. The nin was clearly one that didn't need the approval of a crowd to do what needed to be done. Still, she had it....at least in doing what she didn't think was possible...

[Sairin Takumi]

I made a promise

to an old friend

to watch over you all.

❧

The Jounin had been trying to use minor amounts of chakra during the battle. Especially in the longevity of matters, but she'd force him to stray from that path several times. Numerous moments where the ante needed to be raised for the stake of survival. In this case they'd be fighting with their harshest techniques, but Takumi wasn't too pleased about it all. Despite such he knew how to act like a Lord, mannerisms and understand the innocence that watched too. The Jounin preferred to act complacent, but in terms of secrecy. His achievements didn't matter, but more so the Journey that lead him to the exchange before hundreds of eyes...maybe thousands.

The immediate switch to using his fog was due to his enhanced control over it. In this case she'd be matching him in terms of reactions, almost super human but he remembered the cloak that encased her. It wasn't ordinary but she was certainly on a league of her own with it. The fog started to lessen in the arena all together through their quick exchanged, the usage of the fog and otherwise abrupt movements. A solid thirty meters wide was encased but the deeper in it got darker.

It was clear he'd need medical attention after this battle, but he'd relate to when he had to survive in the forestry. That's when he received his nick name, but more so received a few more friends. It'd be said because he couldn't release some birds in a cage. In this case they'd be fairly pissed at the circumstances, but they always knew what they were getting into with the assassin. They knew she was out of the fog, but the outside of the fog stretched enough to feel the arena. It was clear she was above, but likely hanging on the ceiling where she flung from. His location was hidden, always had been but she thought she had an idea earlier. Both the Amelord and his clone were breathing heavier, drawing sweat and showing clear signs of quickly exerted chakra. The original S-rank technique wasn't fully used to it's great power, she happened to detour him and make him end it. In a way he thanked her but he was awfully reminded of the blade that got inserted to his leg.

His chakra was vast, he had great mastery of ninjutsu but his control prohibited him from saving majority of that chakra earlier. Even as a top league shinobi there were limitations he couldn't even surpass, but only amplify the efficiency of the strengths he did have. In this case it was an analytical mind able to detect a threat then put an end to it. She happened to be advancing abruptly, giving no time to collect and let tides change into his favor. Every turn her Bijuu would assist her in defense inside the fog, but he didn't have a way to collectively prohibit her. The original formed a watery clone in his place as he sought freedom. In his case the pain in his leg was minimal, so he'd be hoping to pull it off but the first aid bandages provided a sturdiness to his leg. The shadow clone had extended his hand to manipulate fog. The surrounding fog was darkened, slowly collected but now reused to make various orbs; smoke bombs. In this case they were heavily manipulated as he flicked his wrist, moved his fingers and worked them to hit all around the arena walls; amplifying the darkness. Just as the burst of smoke went to pop, the original Takumi concentrated with a solid footing and leaped off the ground to seemingly vanish. In this case he'd transition into one of the exploding balls of black fog, catching himself on the wall and identically clinging to it like Etsuko did the ceiling. This was a way he could keep recycling the fog, space it out and continue a even defense.


The Jounin was south of the center, where the water clone and shadow clone were. Five bursts of smoke collectively exploded and added to the giant one. These helped darken the outside and fill the blotches that might have gone. In this case it'd help the smoke rise and snake up to help cover the ceiling in a moments time, but not now. There was often a short window that offered itself, but the collective ravens would need to watch patiently for that hidden moment. In the sense of the word the original could faintly see the fiery Etsuko glued to the ceiling, his eyes proving beneficial but also at working in hardened conditions.

word count: ● Jun Etsuko ● OOC: Essentially the original made a clone in his spot whilst the shadow clone was launching smoke bombs. Once they all collectively exploded the original shushined into one of the growing clouds. I mentioned which one too!

Condensing the fog into up to five floating sphere, similar to bubbles but they travel much faster due to direct control. They travel roughly the same speed as thrown weapons, but are directly controlled by some form of movement from the user. If the sphere's are to hit something, they'll explode and cover the area with a black cloud of fog. The smoke screen of a single ball reaches roughly 15 meters in diameter. This is a non-damaging technique, but simply smoke screens. The fog can be reused as long as it remains in the battle field.

Trained Assassin



Through countless years of traditional methods, Takumi became a trained killer. Their instincts, senses and other forms of basic senses were tools for killing. Overall his awareness is heightened above the average humans. His usage of his senses were skilled. Nothing like how an animals is, such as a dog or even the famous Inuzuka. He was trained to know what to look for, trained to know incoming threats, minor sounds, foot steps, how to be close to absolutely silent, and familiarizing himself with scents around. His detection skills were skillful. It was experience of battle and war.



Ninjutsu Master



Through advanced training, mastery of various ninjutsu techniques and large chakra reserves. It's simply a master to possess the ability to perform, and outlast other ninja in this field. S-rank techniques are within' their ability, and they shine outstandingly. It's evident that Takumi's skill is so prominent he can now perform one-handed seals. Meaning he can use his other hand while conjuring a ninjutsu techniques.



Instinctive Fighter



Capable of holding a keen set of eyes, awareness and proper usage of peripherals. Sairin shinobi have practiced their eyes to mimic it, and now can be able to follow the fastest of ninja.





Chakra Fountain of Amegakure



Born with large amounts of chakra, considered above average and continued to train it. Having both a specialty and a inner-gift of a natural fountain of chakra. A result of many creations, flourishing repeatedly. This reserve has been expanded to the fullest extent thought known possible for a normal human. Many can mistake this large surplus of chakra for a tailed beast. This has given his presence to all sensors of chakra the name 'Chakra Fountain of Amegakure'. A shinobi capable of performing limited techniques even after performing an extremely taxing one.



"Dark Road Techniques"



The clan possesses the ability to use a set of secret techniques known as Yamiji no Jutsu. It allows them to produce a black fog composed of raw chakra and manipulate it into various forms. The fog, while normally vapour in form is easily susceptable to shape manipulation and can become a liquid or a solid depending on the jutsu used. The black fog is usually prepared before hand and sealed away within the clan's personal stylized seals on the palms of their hands, but the seals are not limited to being placed there. This is because the black fog usually takes time to create, as it requires one to manipulate their raw chakra into a completely different form.



Takumi is extremely proficient in his clan's methods, considering it's the first real techniques he's knew. Over the course of twenty years he collected many tricks, and realization on the nature of the Yamiji. His seal takes form of a "eternal" knot, largely planted on his right hand. The seal can withhold great deals of previously made chakra, but it's limited based on how skilled the user is:

Takumi can fuel enough chakra to do two high techniques, but no more after. This can be distributed differently such as: One very high technique, and a low technique after. One high technique and a two mediums, or a handful of lows after. It's a large amount he has, but it's not infinite. It took twenty years to manifest this...it's not an average feat.





Black Presence



All clan jutsu(dark road techniques) created, or used by Takumi will have a 25% reduction to their costs. It's also noted his familiarity of such techniques are notorious. Takumi can now naturally sense those in his fog, pretty accurately and the chakra-made cloud is like an extension of his sense of 'touch'. The slightest movements can be detected within' it.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi Escaping the fog was good and all, but what was already patchy mess of smoke would soon grow. The Ame Lord spreading out four more smoke bombs, it seemed smoke was being thrown in every clearing. "So much for a speed advantage." Etsuko would scuff as her second tail would steal her other armed sword. She still had one sheathed, but sword combat felt meaningless without a target. She couldn't rely on her speed or skill in a battlefield without sight. A battlefield which could change to block her paths and encircle her body. This wasn't at all the fight the jounin had been looking forward too, but it definitely was pushing her limits. The fact Matabi gave her the second tail to escape spoke a lot about the conundrum. She'd attempt to dart around the ceiling and avoid moving into the smoke, but without attacks coming her way immediately it was time she struck. Her hands quickly forming hand signs, as she'd gather her fuuton chakra. Firing off the largest technique she could manage, it could destroy a whole kage's building so maybe it'd hit the whole arena. Only ambition could fuel the woman's attacks now, as she no longer knew if she was even fighting an opponent. Hopefully her large scale attack would hit something or things, as well as have some effect on the annoying smoke. She wanted to see anything other than smoke, a cage and a crowd behind her. She wanted to see an opponent a goal and have a battle for visual supremacy. What was the point of performing if no one could watch? Victory seemed hidden in the black mist of her enemy. SPOILER: Click to show If your at the south point won't the smoke start moving towards you? Since you said your wrist thing attracts the smoke. I assume nothing would be note worthy this post, but next post I'd be able to start seeing the shift right? I'm sorry my post is short, I'm kind of at a loss for things to do. SA WORTH MENTION: Whirlwind Step #1 Etsuko is well known for her speed, she's by no means weak, but her pace is high beyond most. The first reason being her style of fuuton assisting her bukijutsu, she uses her chakra almost purely to assist her movements. Due to this she's mastered her evasive and speed enhancing fuuton to a great degree, she'd often referred to as having the ability to walk on air. Using wind currents she's able to pull and push herself around a fight, while using shift and her higher level Bukijutsu she's able to make these movements at the fastest pace in the least amount of time. Her Jinchuuriki status has greatly helped her manage the chakra lose involved in using such supplementary jutsu. Her whirlwind step though also refers to her uncanny ability to charge an opponent and instead of lunging at them, she almost gravitates around a person when charging, keeping a small distance between her and her opponent allowing maximum trick weapon efficiency. Weighted Training #2 Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed. Amazing Swordplay #4 Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile. Nibi Jinchuuriki #5 Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time. Chakra Shroud [No Tail] This is the form of control Etsuko is most commonly known to be granted, to foolish people it's mistaken as her full control, as it's seen as she needs to show no feature of the bijuu to cast it's flame and have more speed. The actual speed boost to Etsuko is beyond that of any normal shinobi, rivaling maybe surpassing even some delivery ninja and speed orientated shinobi. The speed boost though is below the greatest bonus of the no tail shroud, as it allows Etsuko to ignite her Fuuton with Nibi's chakra as to almost mimic katon techniques out of them. The fire also naturally then enhances her normal wind chakra applications to a weapon, it's however the nature of this chakra which causes it to look like a ghost flame encircling Etsuko's entire frame. When using Fuuton motions they often combust limiting their ability to boost Etsuko's speed, but give a fiery flare to her moves. When unarmed she can grow sharp claws to assist in fights she didn't know would be fights. Her physical appearance remains about as normal as it always did otherwise. Chakra Shroud [1 Tail] Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape. Chakra Shroud [2 Tail] Etsuko: In the situation of a trap or a fight between those clearly beyond Etsuko's regular Bukijutsu, as well as beyond being able to pacify with a one tailed releases aid. The difference between Etsuko's first and second tailed release is the flames which cloak her now burn brightly like a living flame than a chakra veil, it appears to be a denser flame around her clothes, so that her facial and human physical features are still noticeable. The obvious second tail is added to Etsuko's back side, she'll often arm both tails with a katana, as despite not being able to extend her chakra cloak freely, Etsuko is now able to encase her weapons in the Nibi's Cloak. Englufed by the chakra the weapons no longer wear like in the first tailed form, but the weapons now encased with chakra lose their cutting edge, but gain a hotter, stronger strike instead. The speed boost granted by the second cloak allows Etsuko to move at the pace of her S-rank, as well as gives her the kicking force to lunge or jump as far as one stride of Matabi in her full release form. Faster and Stronger, Etsuko gains the ability to take on stacked odds with a greater ease, but it'd only be against those stacked odds she'd be allowed this power. JUTSU USED: NAME: Fūton: Shinkū Renpa [Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves] RANK: A CHAKRA USAGE: High CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Fūton DESCRIPTION: As they form the hand seals, the caster of this technique will take a deep breath, holding the air in their chest. They will then knead the Fūton chakras of their body into the air, multiplying it many times over. At the formation of the Dog hand seal, the chakras are tightly woven together. The Jutsu is then released as the caster exhales, directing the Fūton chakras with their head movements. Many, very sharp blades are then produced, combining to form a series of large "X" shapes. This attack is sharp enough and forceful enough to rip clean through a village's gates with momentum to spare. It is also large to match the size of most Kage residencies, known to be the largest buildings in the Shinobi world. NAME: Kinobori no Waza [Act of Tree Climbing] RANK: D CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General] ELEMENT: None DESCRIPTION: An advanced genin level technique, it serves as a means to both enhance chakra control when mastered as well as a means to change one's advantages on the battlefield. By applying chakra to the soles of the feet, the shinobi gains the ability to walk and stand on vertical surfaces or even upside down. Sairin Takumi , Notes , other cool stuff

❧

During Etsuko's shifts to evade the spreading smoke they didn't get a hint of her. In this case they all knew where her general location was besides Takumi himself. His bird like eyes peered directly at her as he watched her evade. Her hands clapped together to make seals as Takumi's right finger tip swirled with a concentrated spinning winds much like a blade. Naturally he'd add his strength into the throw, speeding up the process but using the subtle movements to subliminally hide the windy blade. As the sickle technique was considered a swarm of kunai, this could be considered long swords. Just being near the blade could create minor cuts to the enemy. He knew if he created anything larger it could create an opening, or otherwise trigger her attention. Takumi watched her inhale as she kneaded the chakra into her lungs. Slowly packing in a huge breath, multitasking seals and then expelling this chakra in two large blades of wind. A X-formation was made as they flew downwards being consumed by the fog, carrying a portion of it with the intense winds and plummeting to the bottom quickly. The water clone used the body flicker technique, vanishing and reappearing behind her; glued to the ceiling. In this case he'd have a bit a small distance away, flickering vertically to avoid the incoming blades. His ambition was to get close enough to strike her from behind, running up now with a feint moment of hope. In this case the clone viewed the potential threats of danger, her sword on her tail, other weapons but more so his own blade. .

The shadow clone evaded as necessary, but proving to be a hidden factor in all of this. Previously she only knew of two copies, but he multiplied in the darkness. The shadow clone got it's distance needed, performing well and not holding the same damage to the leg as the main user. The fog itself helped locate the incoming attacks, but the shock wave proved to be more difficult. It connected with the center, creating an opening in the center but showing no signs of life. The opening was a solid chunk of 10-15 meters, which would settle soon and naturally level. The outskirts of the arena were covered, but a slow flux would pull the foggy chakra to the south.

word count: ● Jun Etsuko ● OOC: Yup! The shift would be staggered due to the quick pace movement. Mind you most of the fog around the edges would be moving, and only a fifteen meters around the gauntlets are sucked in naturally at a moderate pace. (Chuunin speeds). Sorry for the small post too, I am trying to make the most happen with what I have lol.

NAME: Kaze no Yaiba [Blade of Wind]
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Fūton
DESCRIPTION:
This technique is a pinpoint slashing strike, where the user emits chakra from their fingertips and materialises it into an near invisible weapon that assaults the enemy in a gust of wind. If the Sickle Weasel Technique can be regarded as a swarm of wind kunai, then this technique is akin to a longsword which can leave the target's body mutilated. Just being in close proximity to the technique can cause minor cuts. The wind blades can be created and thrown, like projectiles, in rapid succession.

The clone can't perform any elemental jutsu other than it's own element; suiton. Though it's limited to a medium amount of chakra; it's own composure.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi Etsuko's positioning top and center gave her a clear view on the field below her. She'd have a keen understanding of wind and despite her technique, her attention wasn't upon hitting anything. Instead she'd stay alert, her tails immediately reacting to the incoming wind attack(s). Attempting to swat the wind blades out of air with fire, but simultaneously re-positioning herself to dodge. She was less worried about them breaking through her tail or hitting her, as she was concerned the stray attacks would pass the cage. If they struck the wrong place above then there could be more than their lives at stake, a fact she wouldn't let herself be responsible. Though she had chosen the positioning of the cage top, but only to avoid the black smoke beneath her. Similar to how she'd see the wind split through the smoke, she'd also note another force coming. The water clone was less sneaky than intended, but she'd try to not make it to obvious. Her attention half to the clone, as the other half of her attention laid upon the hidden attacker. The prospect the real Ame Lord jumped to attack her seemed illogical. She couldn't even get behind the method he'd come at her. Vanishing she'd spin herself around and shoot to meet the clone mid pounce. Her hands quickly aiming to grab the man's arms, if she failed she'd go for a fiery hug instead. Her action immediately followed by the strike of both of her tail swords. Granted the clone wasn't dispersed by having a metal melting heat touch it. Etsuko would do everything in her power to make the confrontation quick. A means to show an example of the absurd amount of raw speed she was now capable. The true power of Matabi; the fastest bijuu. Backing off from the clone in a blur, she'd either break any lock or retreat from the explosion of water. The water wasn't anything that concerned the bijuu, her cloak wasn't so easily tarnished. Matabi's flame burning too strong to be tamed by water, it'd only react in a heightened blaze. Still Etsuko didn't want to find herself stuck in a secondary suiton technique, he might of been aiming to water prison her. He also could be planning to use the water for further offensive technique, unlike his wind technique which would only fuel her fire, water would at least be detrimental to her reserves. Luckily Etsuko had plenty of reserves and now seemed to no longer need the use of jutsu to evade. She also had a good idea where her opponent now laid, but she didn't have a plan still to attack him. Charging in didn't work at all last time, but her ninjutsu surely didn't match up to his own. It seemed close combat and range were out of her field, but she'd injured him and put him into a position where he needed to spend more than her. Attrition seemed to be the only chance she truly had. Well that and one other feat, but she wasn't aiming to kill the man. The tournament still disallowed that right? Probably for her at least, as the crowd had been pleased with her already.

[Sairin Takumi]

I made a promise



to an old friend



to watch over you all.

❧

The flaming tails(one which wielded a sword) went to swat the almost invisible assault. 
The wind blade clashed against the shroud but it didn't forcefully cut through as intended. Instead it drew most of her forces originally for the clone to slip into a blind spot. The attack moving, the fog swirling and many happenings occurred all at once to shroud the hidden assault. The water clone specifically talented in the arts of stealth much like his originator. The shadow clone was at work inside the black fog, which feint traces loomed around the roof and certainly kept meeting people of the battle above. The original Takumi was also at work and not letting up his planned assault to secure a victory. As a Kage, he had already been tested to sacrifice everything for the sake of his village. That is how one can win a war!

The water clones pace picked up incredibly as his target was locked prior. Her back turned, no tails to defend and a glimpse of success. The military leader's clone extended his body with blinding speeds as his arm followed with a chakra coating over his knuckles; condensed power. An attack that specialized in landed a close range hit with an opening would sacrifice his precious eyes awareness. The Elite Jounin didn't slouch in speed and was particular in the arts of hand to hand combat. It was his secondary specialization and this technique amplified it to compensate for the lack luster previously. As one sense diminished the others could grow, but he'd use the shinobi arts to his benefit; hopefully. 

word count: ● Jun Etsuko ● OOC: I previously spoke to Frenzy in a PM before I wanted to post this. Primarily because I needed some things clarified for the sake of balance. Despite you mentioning you caught eye of my clone, I believe you wouldn't and previously you spoke of not having a specific place you were looking in the beginning of the post. The clone specifically moved at shushin speeds which you have no sensory, or tracking SAs to track something of that speed. Frenzy agreed your tails would block the blade, but the clone would have the surprise due to lack of sensory SAs. The water clone landed and locked on last post. This one solely dedicated the opening to strike. After which he'd dispel into a puddle of harmless water.

Jutsu Technique(s)


NAME: Futatsu no sutoraikukonbo [Two Strike Combo]



RANK: A



CHAKRA USAGE: Medium



CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu-Taijutsu

ELEMENT: If applicable.



DESCRIPTION:



The two strike combo is difficult to perform, but if landed it's devastating to the opponent. The name is a bit off the wall from the actual technique, but it's understood after seeing it. Takumi gathers concentrated chakra at the edge of his fist. It's a small coating around his knuckles, and fingers. This energy is so concentrated them when colliding with something it'll extend a wall breaking force.



Once the attack is prepared the Jounin will pick a target, and extending himself with blinding speeds. A quick lunge. The effective range is 10m. It turns into a slide to drive a strong jab into the opponents stomach. The two strike combo is when the hit contacts the object, to throw said object into another object. Two hits. The only downside to this technique is the tunnel vision one receives to achieve such blinding speeds. So the user can only focus on the target during this adrenaline rush filled lunge attack.

[Shadow Clone Technique][x1]



NAME: Jōkyū Mizu Kurōn [Advanced Water Clone][x1]

RANK: B

CHAKRA USAGE: Medium

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu

ELEMENT: Suiton

HANDSEALS: Two.

TRIGGER: n/a

DESCRIPTION:

A simple two seals for a strong support. A clone made up of a stronger concentrated and highly packed amount of water. This offers both a great durability/defense and an incredible offense. It can take a few punches and kicks. Anything stronger than it's own composition will force it to explode though. A large wave of water will emit to throw back anyone close, a large puddle reaching 10 meters will rest in it's place. Bruising can be caused in point blank range. The clone can't perform any elemental jutsu other than it's own element; suiton. Though it's limited to a medium amount of chakra; it's own composure. Once that amount is drained, it'll disperse without an explosion; a dud.

Used SA(s)







Trained Assassin







Through countless years of traditional methods, Takumi became a trained killer. Their instincts, senses and other forms of basic senses were tools for killing. Overall his awareness is heightened above the average humans. His usage of his senses were skilled. Nothing like how an animals is, such as a dog or even the famous Inuzuka. He was trained to know what to look for, trained to know incoming threats, minor sounds, foot steps, how to be close to absolutely silent, and familiarizing himself with scents around. His detection skills were skillful. It was experience of battle and war.







Ninjutsu Master







Through advanced training, mastery of various ninjutsu techniques and large chakra reserves. It's simply a master to possess the ability to perform, and outlast other ninja in this field. S-rank techniques are within' their ability, and they shine outstandingly. It's evident that Takumi's skill is so prominent he can now perform one-handed seals. Meaning he can use his other hand while conjuring a ninjutsu techniques.







Instinctive Fighter







Capable of holding a keen set of eyes, awareness and proper usage of peripherals. Sairin shinobi have practiced their eyes to mimic it, and now can be able to follow the fastest of ninja.











Chakra Fountain of Amegakure







Born with large amounts of chakra, considered above average and continued to train it. Having both a specialty and a inner-gift of a natural fountain of chakra. A result of many creations, flourishing repeatedly. This reserve has been expanded to the fullest extent thought known possible for a normal human. Many can mistake this large surplus of chakra for a tailed beast. This has given his presence to all sensors of chakra the name 'Chakra Fountain of Amegakure'. A shinobi capable of performing limited techniques even after performing an extremely taxing one.







"Dark Road Techniques"







The clan possesses the ability to use a set of secret techniques known as Yamiji no Jutsu. It allows them to produce a black fog composed of raw chakra and manipulate it into various forms. The fog, while normally vapour in form is easily susceptable to shape manipulation and can become a liquid or a solid depending on the jutsu used. The black fog is usually prepared before hand and sealed away within the clan's personal stylized seals on the palms of their hands, but the seals are not limited to being placed there. This is because the black fog usually takes time to create, as it requires one to manipulate their raw chakra into a completely different form.







Takumi is extremely proficient in his clan's methods, considering it's the first real techniques he's knew. Over the course of twenty years he collected many tricks, and realization on the nature of the Yamiji. His seal takes form of a "eternal" knot, largely planted on his right hand. The seal can withhold great deals of previously made chakra, but it's limited based on how skilled the user is:



Takumi can fuel enough chakra to do two high techniques, but no more after. This can be distributed differently such as: One very high technique, and a low technique after. One high technique and a two mediums, or a handful of lows after. It's a large amount he has, but it's not infinite. It took twenty years to manifest this...it's not an average feat.











Black Presence







All clan jutsu(dark road techniques) created, or used by Takumi will have a 25% reduction to their costs. It's also noted his familiarity of such techniques are notorious. Takumi can now naturally sense those in his fog, pretty accurately and the chakra-made cloud is like an extension of his sense of 'touch'. The slightest movements can be detected within' it.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi Etsuko's movements were some of the fastest with her training and fighting style. He felt good in his taijutsu skill, but she'd trump it with her overwhelming bukijutsu skill. Both were physical feats and hers were largely focused upon the speed she could perform, it'd make fighting off even the near invisible barrage easily. Her dodging absolutely unnecessary, but she'd chosen to not be so reliant. He could of had hidden weapons or items within his wind attacks, she might of been missing the purpose of his attack all together. She had been apparently, as the Sairin would get a water clone in her blind spot. An interesting prospect if he had a plan devised to truly ruin her. He'd however choose to rely upon his taijutsu skill and a single of his chakra technique. It'd be the end of the clone and a foolish move, it was a technique which caused tunnel vision. Typically used with a slide for aiming purposes, so he was either making his presence apparent or losing a part of his already overly focused aim. Etsuko had already been re-positioning herself upon the ceiling, her every step essentially a blur as her body would shift position near instantly. She'd be repeating this motion over a relatively short distance, but it was more than enough to not be in the place the clone aimed. The Jounin was known as the Blade of Fortune, her existence based upon the luck of her father. Maybe she too had inherited it. She'd spot the clone just missing the position she last stood, it's existence seeming to end as soon as it appeared. A large splash of water followed it's existence. "What?!" She'd openly ask a touch startled. Quickly retreating from the clone to another spot on the ceiling. She needed to think fast how to beat this guy, she wouldn't know when the next sneak attack would come. Think fast. FAST! Etsuko would swiftly move from one position to the next, her body spinning with each land. Allowing her to quickly minimize her own blind spots, she'd given this man too much time and credit. He'd already openly attacked at her in a position where crowd could of potentially been hurt. Clearly victory meant something to him. He'd certainly have pride, so she'd try to call it out. "You won't catch me off guard again. You can't catch me at all, it's over Ame Lord!" She'd announce knowing how he'd reacted to her S-rank earlier, he'd called upon such a massive draining technique. He probably had other techniques of a similar variety. As long as he was holding this fog up and trying to hit her, then she'd definitely win a battle of attrition. Etsuko made short lunges forward and tried to circle the arena from the ceiling, her body avoiding the smoke if possible. Her body shifting to look over the majority of the shrouded arena, as well as more importantly to where she'd last come. Looking either to the direction, she'd been circling in or it's counter she'd immediately after a brief look jump to the next spot. Adrenaline rushing now as she'd try to bait her enemies attacks or annoyance. SPOILER: Click to show SA WORTH MENTION: Whirlwind Step #1 Etsuko is well known for her speed, she's by no means weak, but her pace is high beyond most. The first reason being her style of fuuton assisting her bukijutsu, she uses her chakra almost purely to assist her movements. Due to this she's mastered her evasive and speed enhancing fuuton to a great degree, she'd often referred to as having the ability to walk on air. Using wind currents she's able to pull and push herself around a fight, while using shift and her higher level Bukijutsu she's able to make these movements at the fastest pace in the least amount of time. Her Jinchuuriki status has greatly helped her manage the chakra lose involved in using such supplementary jutsu. Her whirlwind step though also refers to her uncanny ability to charge an opponent and instead of lunging at them, she almost gravitates around a person when charging, keeping a small distance between her and her opponent allowing maximum trick weapon efficiency. Weighted Training #2 Relying almost entirely upon her CQC skills Etsuko doesn't take her training lightly, she in order to improve her natural strength as well her human speed, has spent the past nine years weight training with a specially designed cloak. In lesser situations she'll even wear the cloak into combat, as it's material is quite durable and the weights hidden inside it act as armor. Half of the weights in her cloak have been broken due to her wearing it into battle, though she's made it habit to remove the cloak before winning a fight. It being an all white cloak she dislikes it getting blood, but once removed the girls speed seems to double and the fact she can wear the cloak all day unhindered, she also free's up enough carrying strength to carry her whole team once the cloaks removed. Amazing Swordplay #4 Etsuko had trained long with a katana as it was traditional a genin start with base weapons like a standard blade, however proving she was beyond the weapon in recent years hasn't stopped her from wielding them. Her speed beyond most allowed her even to beat a highly skilled samurai in her youth, she didn't devastate the samurai, but she proved her inherit blade skills and past training turned into into the amazing sword artist. She now carries seven Katana's which she can fight until their destruction, or as she prefers to do, throw them as if they were kunai. Etsuko never felt the killing potential behind a kunai or shuriken, so in her recent years and acquired strength she'd just about nailed down the art of whipping a sword as if it were meant to be a thrown projectile. Nibi Jinchuuriki #5 Etsuko is well known in her village for being the Nibi Jinchuuriki, her eyes are that of the cats and her hair naturally stands in two cats ears at the top of her head. Even as a child without any ability to call upon she was noticed for her kitty similarities. Etsuko however has been mostly in denial of her potential power limits, even knowing Matabi as a giant chakra structure Etsuko has always seen the two-tails as more of an idol or friend, than a means of power. Her natural element feeding Nibi's flame but not being Etsuko's own personal strength, so instead of brandishing cloaks of fire she remains normally quite unchanged ability wise. Her weapon usage even means she understand little if any of her ability to extend her nails into claws, but the Nibi didn't leave her unblessed. Etsuko being the Nibi Jinchuuriki has granted her speed beyond most others. Her reaction timing most importantly being above par and even many elite jounin's capabilites. On top of her speed Etsuko has gained a larger chakra pool than most, but she can only tap it with Matabi's approval most of the time. Chakra Shroud [No Tail] This is the form of control Etsuko is most commonly known to be granted, to foolish people it's mistaken as her full control, as it's seen as she needs to show no feature of the bijuu to cast it's flame and have more speed. The actual speed boost to Etsuko is beyond that of any normal shinobi, rivaling maybe surpassing even some delivery ninja and speed orientated shinobi. The speed boost though is below the greatest bonus of the no tail shroud, as it allows Etsuko to ignite her Fuuton with Nibi's chakra as to almost mimic katon techniques out of them. The fire also naturally then enhances her normal wind chakra applications to a weapon, it's however the nature of this chakra which causes it to look like a ghost flame encircling Etsuko's entire frame. When using Fuuton motions they often combust limiting their ability to boost Etsuko's speed, but give a fiery flare to her moves. When unarmed she can grow sharp claws to assist in fights she didn't know would be fights. Her physical appearance remains about as normal as it always did otherwise. Chakra Shroud [1 Tail] Etsuko: In the event of a tailed form being obtained something has to of clearly gone wrong. Etsuko can control herself in an enhanced state like the 1 Tail shroud, but she can only obtain this power if Matabi offers it to her. Matabi isn't doling out chakra on a regular basis though, if Matabi feels Etsuko's enemy is beyond her Human potential, then she'll offer power to Etsuko, but typically only the amount of power needed. Etsuko's one tail cloak appears like a denser blanket of blue flame around her body, it's less ghostly and behind Etsuko is now one fluffy neko tail of sapphire blue fire. Matabi's cloak in one tailed form allows Etsuko almost twice the boost to speed as her no tail cloak, it allows her to effectively be swift while still using a more Katon based combat style. However the flames are also hotter now and weapons often start to sizzle in grip and prolonged combat with them seem to almost double their durability lost. Another reason Etsuko carries her Seven Katana's sometimes an extra arm or two never hurt. Etsuko also gains the ability to wield one blade from her chakra cloak tail, Etsuko's chakra cloak isn't capable of expanding or morphin, beyond it's initial shape. Chakra Shroud [2 Tail] Etsuko: In the situation of a trap or a fight between those clearly beyond Etsuko's regular Bukijutsu, as well as beyond being able to pacify with a one tailed releases aid. The difference between Etsuko's first and second tailed release is the flames which cloak her now burn brightly like a living flame than a chakra veil, it appears to be a denser flame around her clothes, so that her facial and human physical features are still noticeable. The obvious second tail is added to Etsuko's back side, she'll often arm both tails with a katana, as despite not being able to extend her chakra cloak freely, Etsuko is now able to encase her weapons in the Nibi's Cloak. Englufed by the chakra the weapons no longer wear like in the first tailed form, but the weapons now encased with chakra lose their cutting edge, but gain a hotter, stronger strike instead. The speed boost granted by the second cloak allows Etsuko to move at the pace of her S-rank, as well as gives her the kicking force to lunge or jump as far as one stride of Matabi in her full release form. Faster and Stronger, Etsuko gains the ability to take on stacked odds with a greater ease, but it'd only be against those stacked odds she'd be allowed this power.

[Jun Etsuko]

A FIRE INSIDE Blazing a bright blue and christening great power upon it's Kunoichi Etsuko would after evading the water clone and darting around the ceiling foolishly realize the error of her ways. She'd quickly press to make hand seals, as she'd be certainly able to call upon other jutsu while jumping. Shifting almost randomly now to different spots on the ceiling, Etsuko would fire a barrage of almost wind bullets at the cloud. It'd centered in the Ame Lord's lacking movement. An easy target for her to focus her fire upon. Shooting from all angles he'd need to now call up quite a defense.

BONG, BONG, BONG.



The sound of what seemed to be a clocktower would suddenly echo throughout the entire stadium! The cheers and jeers of the crowd were quickly silenced as they listened on. Through all the mayhem and destruction, the lone referee would appear at the very top of the cage. Beaten and battered, it was a mystery how it hadn't been broken through. The referee would call everyone's attention before making an announcement.

"The time limit has been reached! Cease all hostility!", he'd declare. The crowd looked on in confusion, whispered filled the arena as the question of what had happened filled the air. Was it a draw? What was next? The referee would exhale before continuing. "We have a team of judges for just this sort of occasion. 15 judges are currently meeting and discussing the much before placing their votes and deciding the victor!" Then, there was silence once more. The match would end in a decision. A decision reached by 15 unknown judges. This battle truly came down to the wire as it required a vote to settle once and for all who the victor would be. The referee nodded his head to each competitor to assure they were both still alright and capable to staying up as they waited for the decision. The wind blew slightly as everyone waited for the news.
