[Yugao Akio]

I HAVE A FRIEND

a moth named snowflake

VERY BAD THINGS

such horrible things

Akio hadn't wanted to fight anyone really anyways, especially not to the death. He didn't imagine a five on one really going smoothly in the one's favor. The whole we'll out number them and capture them seemed hard. Pre-occupy made more sense, so there'd be no argument when Mika took his hand. He didn't really like being dragged along, but he was heading the same way anyways. "You go help the clones." Akio would speak in a tongue both hard to hear and unable to be understood by humans. It was moth and butterfly speak directed towards one snowflake in particular.

"I've got this Akio-kun!" The chipper moth replied as it'd flutter off the boy and off in the direction of the stray shinobi. It'd do it's best to attack as he'd been taught by his master. Flutter around the chaos look for an opening then land upon the persons clothes. Chakra would then soon sap into the strange tentacle boy, as to soon cast a genjutsu upon him. Akio was focusing one technique into all his moths, he'd be planning to cast the false summoning, but in doing so through his moths. He could then cause each person to get their own summon to handle. Granted there was only one target the rest would be soon.

Akio would follow behind Mika liking his rear position quite well, but he'd feel hesitation as their tank went out of reach. It'd apparently be in their favor, as the demon kunoichi set off the enemies trap. Multiple explosion tags spread over a long area, it'd be a large blast, but it'd be only cause of spread and not really quantified force. A dust storm of smoke and flashes, it was well cool to watch from a distance. Though in the boys eyes it'd be a huge puff of blood, a pink mist hazily covering the battlefield.

Then the award winning suggestion of throwing them would come, but to which Akio would quickly respond. "Absolutely not. This is our opportunity you go around the smoke we'll go through it." He'd stop point into the smoke and state. "That's my battlefield, don't let us down." He'd snort then add. "Squeakers." As he'd quickly follow up with the summoning technique, a small group of butterflies leaving the smoke. An immediate chatter among them.

"Akio!" They'd all mostly mutter in glee and cheer fluttering around him. There intelligence was low, but like most summons they spoke actual english. So his commands to these would be vocal.

"Just fly ahead towards that building and yell anything when you see someone." Akio would command as they'd flutter about him.

"OH say the magic word." They'd reply causing him to cringe, as he'd quickly say. "Please?" To which they'd all chatter in confusion some accepting, but then most agreeing the word would actually be cheese. Cheese was a real woody word. Thankfully they'd scatter out over and into the smoke ahead. AS they'd get closer and into the chatter would become prevalent to those in the smoke, a multitude of tiny voice chipper in their squeaks.

Akio wouldn't send his summons in alone on this mission, he'd also in the moth tongue add a further command. "Find all the shinobi and tag them snowflake. All of you." He'd command and the nine remaining moths would scatter into the smoke after the butterflies.

"Alright let's create a diversion." He'd tell himself or Sabashi and Nobohiro, if they'd also followed Mika instead of fighting the waterfall shinobi. Akio wasn't the strongest of people, so he looked at the smoke with fear. Collecting himself though he'd charge into the smoke. He had the scroll after all or so he'd do his best to make them believe. His ears and comrades listening for the infinite swarm to alert them of targets. Just as the one snowflake would try to do for the waterfall shinobi, so would the nine following snowflakes attempt to sneakily land upon those two in the smoke.

Jutsu used: NAME: Nise no Kuchiyose [False Summoning]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
A fairly simple, yet useful technique for tricking an opponent. The user will proceed through the process of summoning in the normal manner. Upon the target(s) seeing the user place their hand on a surface the technique will be triggered. The technique allows the user to summon a small to medium size summon of any animal type they wish, which then may be used to "attack" the target(s). It may even appear to do damage to them, but of course this is all fictional. Generally the technique is utilized to make an opponent waste time and energy fighting something that is not even there.

NAME: Kuchiyose no Jutsu [Summoning Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low - Very High depending on summon.
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
One of the most common and beneficial techniques in the known shinobi world. Simply drawing blood and releasing a mass of chakra from one's extended hand is capable of calling an animal or otherwise to one's location. As a Space-Time Ninjutsu, this technique is capable of instantly displacing an intended summon from wherever they may be to the requested location, though there are obstacles that can prevent this. To use this jutsu, one must first make a contract with whatever they are summoning, living creature or not. Both the size and the stamina of what a shinobi calls upon increases the demand of chakra they must spend to perform the jutsu.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The moths landing on anyone will be the trigger, so unless you have a great reason to detect moths, I do believe these will be hitting at least the two in the smoke. As the smoke settles, I do plan to throw more smoke bombs and I'd like to believe the infinite swarm will be an okay distraction and a pretty bad scout force.

[Nōhime Sabishī]

Ultimately...her team was full of people that didn't fucking listen to what she had to say, and frankly, she didn't know why she bothered at this point. However, as the shark genin seemed to try and defend themselves, especially when surrounded and outnumbered, the purple haired genin seemingly was all about just moving on. However, as the group progressed, Sabishi saw opportunity when the tendril was launched to grasp Squeaker's clone's sword. Yes indeed. It became clear at this point that this enemy held a possibly rare and unique bloodline, and or was an abominatory monster that needed to be dealt with accordingly.

Briefly pausing, the young purple haired genin slammed her hands along the sandy ground as immediately, a thin wall would swiftly rise from the ground, and while it was normally used to defend oneself from attacks, Sabishi found a new usage for such a technique. Considering the shark boy was too busy grappling Mika's Shadow Clone sword, almost immediately did the wall rise at a diagonal level, under the puppeteer's arms and aiming to slam into the person's chest. The false summoning technique if was successful would only likely further cause her opponent to panic and be unprepared for such a surprise assault. If successful, it would push out hard, slamming them into the air with a bludgeoning force, and immediately did four of Sabishi's clones leap upward with their blades drawn as they fell, a shocking surprise attack with little room for reaction nor hand seals. For within a moment, they'd stab all of their swords down upon the Jiongu user's arms and legs, pinning them to the ground, tearing muscle and tendons of which the boy had none...before promptly twisting their blades to deliver incredible damage on a normal basis.

Immediately afterwards, the clones would rip their blades free only when the bomb clone had stepped forth, standing on top of the boy and pressing their foot against their chest, blade pressed directly against their throat, leaving the four previous clones to rip their blades out and progress forward. One of the clones would quickly look to Squeaker's Shadow Clone. "The rest of us shall proceed and deal with the enemy. We leave the special clone with you. "Use it in the event our opponent tries to struggle any further."

Just like that, the other four clones if successful would rush with the original Sabishi into the smoke, the real Sabishi staying along the right, letting the clones on her left act as a guard vanguard...and the one in the back act as a decoy in the event enemies were already behind her in the resulting smoke. Their blades all drawn, there were five Sabishi, and they were all prepared for battle against their foes. Keeping her senses as sharp as she could, she'd begin to close in Akio's direction to provide support. A Genjutsu specialist like himself needed support and wouldn't last long against say a taijutsu specialist. "We need to isolate the enemy members of the team and guarantee that none of them reach Squeakers-San...if we do so, we win. Let's continue on now..."

MY WAY

SPOILER: Click to show

apologies!!! i had not meant that isamu had thrown a kunai but that she would have been coming upon the scene as the clone threw one!! the shouting would then be taking place as she was approaching but still a distance away, therefore shouting!!! i am sorry for the confusion!!

"SHIT!”

Yelling at her teammate was whatever, it caught attention didn’t it? They were putzing around when they obviously needed to charge through! It wasn’t like that was a new plan… It was what she had done since the start. Plowed through, it was her way. Even as they came upon the enemy, she had stated they should keep going. She just did what she said, nothing more and nothing less.

As for the explosion, she was nowhere near on top of that flashlight. Teammate was a little bit away and threw a kunai. She was just coming on the scene. But the massive explosion would still send her back on her ass and into the sand. Ears ringing and a bright flash of light speckling her vision with spots and uncertainty. The female nearly growled. Her javelin that had been in hand somewhere in the sand to her side. Hand seeking it, finding sand after sand until if finally latched onto weapon, she’d grip it hard. Clenched teeth. Irritated.

Wrenching herself up from the sand, barely a scratch on her due to a durable body and distance, she’d near charge back into the smoke with hell raising. Until she heard something. Her team? They had followed? Quickly too. With one taking off away from the smoke with the annoying voice, the pretty boy with her. He’d talk to his moths. "Weird.” And then she was done. Fuck this watching. She wanted to be in there and fighting. Tearing apart whoever the heck tried to blow her up.

"SHOW YOURSELF YOU FUCKING COWARDS”

Into the smoke with vengeful aggression, maybe a little more pronounced than normal. Her javelin in hand and sturdily held. At the hint of any sound, she’d strike out in an instant. Amazing speed and horrid strength at her disposal. Her ability with her javelin was par none. Her strength was ridiculous. And if she would make contact with an enemy, there would be hell to pay!

NAME: Naoshira [Straight Pillar]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:

The user grips their javelin and thrusts it forward in a quick stabbing motion in order to impale the target with a quick and accurate strike. The speed of this technique typically matches the speed of a quickly thrown kunai.

Should be faster, stronger, and more accurate then your average strike!!! Thanks to her javelin SA and her strength sa!!

Things suddenly started happening rather.. Quickly. Sato wasn't sure how to react, except for the fact he knew he had to pretend he had the scroll. He was pretty good at acting, and so he charged through the sudden smoke. Actually, he was about to when Akio spoke and he looked over to the moth boy.

"Oh.. Okay." The diversion.. Wasn't the giant plume of smoke a diversion enough? He bit down on his lower lip for a moment and then shook his head. "Alright, let's... I have the scroll, should I really get into the thick of battle?" He asked looking around nervously, it was mostly just him keeping up an act, he couldn't just pretend that he didn't have it suddenly and go around fighting like it was no big deal. No, he had to act like he had the scroll. He was Plan A. Plan B was another one on their team. Still, he wasn't quite as nervous as he should probably be in this situation. Call it training, but he was ready to go into this...

"What kind of diversion? I have a jutsu that puts out a lethal smoke... But we need everyone on our team out of the way."

Nobohiro Sato FC| Mikatakujira Tetsuya

[Mikatakujira Tetsuya]

A game of tug of war lasted only a few seconds between Tetsuya and the clone. Its grip was tight and it wouldn't let go of its weapon. Still Tetsuya was determined to win and claim his prize of human flesh on the table, but determination alone wasn't enough to protect him from a surprise attack from the literal ground and swept him off his feet. At first he didn't even realize it was happening until it collided with his chest for a few seconds, during which he could have sworn he was feeling more panicked than usual and even saw a moth fly by. Guess hallucinogen was a normal thing for these guys.

He was only airborne for a short while before four copies of the same girl were suddenly on him and drove both him and their blades into the ground, pinning him in place as they called for the rest of the group to continue on. Tetsuya knew no matter what he was going to fail this one simple job given to him now. He was outnumbered and clearly outmatched, were these people seriously genin like him? Or had he been slacking off that much and just spent what hours he should be training in self loathing? Either was he was probably done, but he wanted to at least try to prove well...something. Either it be to himself or this team, he needed to show someone that he could at least try.

As he was pinned under the other clone's foot his back opened up under him and a few tentacles burrowed under the earth beneath them. It took only a few seconds before they rose back to the surface, this time behind the clone and coiled together into a fleshy sort of drill aimed right at the clone's back ready to burrow underneath some skin.

Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear
Tetsuya could hardly be called human when he has a single heart powering the mass of black tendrils inside of his body that keep him immortal. A parasite that constantly craves for more human hearts that manifests as voices in the boy's head yet many say its a small price to pay for the boon it grants. Immortality is the biggest covet from this gift but having a body made up of tendrils that can act on the hosts will is a great asset in combat as well as the fact that once Tetsuya has obtained a heart he gains its affinity for elemental chakra which allows him to expand his repertoire.

LAIKA OF GS!

[TAKEDA SANOSUKE™]

So far his bold plan was working into their favor. At least that was what he was left to assume. For a moment there wasn't any sound from anyone which for the time being was a good thing. There was no doubt in his mind that the opposition wouldn't be effected by the impact, but that in no way did not mean they would be completely out of the game. Especially the much louder woman. If anything it would be the masked kid he met no so long ago that might be most effected. Hopefully he was not mortally wounded by the explosion. He actually liked the guy a lot despite what little time they had together, but for now he could not worry about them.

Right now his focus was listening to any sound so that he could do his best to eliminate the opposition in the quickest and easiest way possible. His presence being right outside of the thick of the smoke and sand clouded area. Arm still covering his mouth as to protect him from the cloud of smoke that traveled away from the explosion. It wasn't much, but he wanted to make sure the enemy gave their position away before he did. Luckily the Takeda would not have to wait long before he'd get his moment to spring into action. With how chaotic all of this was he knew for a fact that something bad was bound to happen, but for now it was his job to be the muscle. Up until now that was all he had to offer. If only he had more time to train his eyes this wouldn't have been a problem, but it wasn't his fault that he knew so little about his other clans abilities.

For now he'd just have to use what he knew. A grin on his face as the loud voice of the woman spoke out again. She was crazy and out of her mind, but something about her boldness attracted the Takeda. He could feel her strength from a mile away. He respected her power. He could only imagine all the things she probably went through to get to this point. All that was left for him to do now was to honor that strength by showing her his own. Immediately after the sound of her voice revealed the location of which she stood he charged in after her. Her doing so would be a mistake given he had the advantage in here, but that did not mean he would take her lightly. Just as he was special, he had to assume that she was as well.

His first plan of action would be for him to activate his Devil Bringer as planned. There was no need to hold back here as he was sure she was not the one to play with. It was also probably safe to assume that she was not too far from himself given how close her voice was to himself. Once he got within reach of her he'd have to make sure to use his visual prowess to his advantage. At about 5 meters he could spot her based on the 2 meters of clear range he had and the other 3 coming from the smoke and sand that cleared so far.

Not much, but more than enough for himself, and probably just enough for her as well given she was standing in it. He knew that she'd probably be able to feel his presence, and with her he could briefly spot the javelin she was holding. Knowing that he was right about her to some degree fired him up. She was going to be a worthy opponent, but for now he had to make sure she payed for her brash personality.

But, as expected she'd spot his presence, and while her sense of location wasn't going to be nowhere near as good as his own it did not mean that her own training had not prepared her for such a moment. Immediately upon spotting her, and of course her spotting himself she'd attempt a bold javelin strike toward him. The speed of which it came was impossible. If not for the fact that he was just as proficient with his own great sword he might have not been able to believe what was happening before his eyes. Fortunately his training in Bukijutsu and his eyes would not let him lose the fight so easily because without them her strike would have put him on his ass.

The speed of which her javelin traveled would be much too fast for him to parry it, but given his heightened sight he'd be able to side step to the left from it just as it would have the chance to actually land on him. This however did not mean he was going to be in the clear. If she was able to strike that fast with her javelin there was no telling what else she "might" be able to do. He had to make sure in this time to use whatever momentum she put into that attack to his advantage. With this he'd use the chance being at her side to use one of the few Takeda jutsu he'd learned so far.

A simple, but hard right upper cut jab toward her right side, and should things go as planned would release a spectral arm made of chakra from it. With him being so close, should it have landed she'd find herself being grabbed hard by the spectral arm much bigger than his own. Its grip just large enough to grab her entire side, especially he rib care area. Not only that, but the force from his jab would be strong enough to disrupt her positioning creating an opening for him.

By placing enough chakra into the spectral arm it'd be able to hold its own form on its target in exchange for a continuous drain. With this he'd be free to still use both of his hands in continued succession. Quickly drawing a much larger blade of his own from his six sleeve holster he'd quickly take two steps backward before winding up a powerful technique of his own. The Tama Kidō | 玉軌道 | Ball Trajectory: Line Drive. And should things work out as planned, and only then would he get into what he referred to as a batting stance and quickly swing his large sword toward the back right side of her body. Not holding back any force as to put her away with one strike to a vital point to her body. If hit, not only would she be sent fly back again in the opposite direction, but the hit to her back side--which would also be in her rig cage area--might be left broken, and at best for her just fractured.

NOTES: After hearing the voice of Isamu, Sanosuke activates his Devil Bringer and heads into the smoke with her. On her end she should have the advantage of him coming toward her, while Sanosuke would have the advantage of being able to see and react better in the smoke. ( Thats what I'd "assume." ) If there is Any confusion as to what he does afterward feel free to bother me lol DEC 7TH: Edit made to place jutsu description in the spoiler section. Nothing else has been touched or adjusted. Also to be noted that Sanosuke is using the C ranked version of hells Grasp.

BYAKUGAN ACTIVE: 2 Meter radius of clear vision. Anything outside of that will practically place his vision at the same visual prowess as everyone else. Sanosukes prowess using the Byakugan goes beyond its all seeing ability; It also grants him heighten senses, allowing him to follow high-speed movements, putting him in a better position to analyze his opponent's actions. This also allows Sanosuke to predict and better react to them. Combining this with his complete dedication to close range combat makes him a dangerous opponent for anyone willing to stand their ground against him.

GREAT SWORD PROWESS SA: Given the amount of time Sasosuke has put into learning how to control his heavy sword he has managed gain mastery over its weight better than most Shinobi are ever able to. Learning how to maneuver the sword well enough to where it is no long a handicap to use in combat. Using weight training and momentum control based training to increase his endurance while learning how to monitor the swords weight properly without harming himself. While most great sword users are limited to just two hands of control of the weapon Sano has learned how to carry the sword well enough to even be able to wield it with one hand. Its speed equaling that of a two handed user when doing so. These advanced movements enables the user to be able to accurately move the sword around so then one is able to block, attack, and counter intermediate moves of up to B rank caliber Bukijutsu and Shinobi. This skill being limited only to Sanosuke's current rank and specialization, meaning as those increase so will his mastery of great swords.

NAME: Akuma Sakenomi ( 悪魔酒飲み ) Devil Bringer
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium (Activation) - Low (Drainage)
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu - Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
ACTIVATION In order for one to utilize this power the user must feel a great deal of emotion. By channeling those feelings into power, and stabilizing that feeling does one achieve this transformation, with the clenching of right fist being the final step into obtaining this form.
DESCRIPTION: The true power of the Takeda clan, a transformation only achieved by the strongest members within the clan. This power transforms the right forearm and hand of the user. The transformation acting as a physical manifestation of the clans demonic power. Like the previous transformation, the users emotions are required to activate it, but also unlike the previous form the user must be control of them. A tight clenching of the right fist is all that is needed to activate this transformation. This arm possesses superhuman strength, which it can also manifest through a larger, spectral arm. Like the previous transformation, this form increases the physical power of the user based on its current strength. However, the strength of the user is only increased within the limits of that one arm, in return its power outmatches that of its predecessor. Unlike its predecessor though, the amount of drainage this transformation has on ones chakra is minimal, given that the user must be in complete control while using this transformation. The Devil Bringer is highly durable, and with its physical strength can be highly effective at blocking attacks, giving the user advantages against their opponents in hand to hand combat. The Devil Bringer can also be highly effective in sword combat, enhancing the strength of the weapon when utilizing the right hand as a means of attack. Its increase in strength can be used to further empower the strength and durability of the blade.

NAME: Jigoku Haaku ( 地獄把握 ) Hell's Grasp
RANK: C - B - A
CHAKRA USAGE: Low ( Activation ) - Very Low ( Drainage ) "A Rank" - Medium ( Activation ) - Low ( Drainage )
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
REQUIREMENTS: In order for the user to use the C rank version of this jutsu the user needs to have already learned the Devil Bringer Transformation. The User must achieve the Devil Trigger transformation in order to use the B and A rank version of this jutsu.
HANDSEALS: N/A
DESCRIPTION: By using the chakra infused into the right arm of the Devil Bringer the user is able to manifest a larger spectral arm that takes on a physical projection of the Devil Bringer capable of grasping its opponents. By throwing their arm in a upward motion, like that of an upper cut—or straight jab—and by releasing the chakra infused into the arm, the user releases a spectral arm that latches on to its enemy. Grabbing ahold of them before the user retracts his arm from the projection, but instead of the spectral arm following his retraction it is able to maintain its physical form on its own. Holding on to the enemy with strength that matches that of the user and rank of the taijutsu. The initial shock of the impact, especially if not prepared for such a move can also cause physical damage to the opponent also equal to the rank of the Taijutsu. This does not however mean that the opponent will be unable to free themselves. Those with Str higher than that of the user have a good chances of freeing themselves from the jutsu. The use of a Taijutsu of higher rank can however, break through the spectral arm. In unique cases if one uses a Ninjutsu above that of the jutsus rank then it can be destroyed. In the meantime the opponent is bound to the will of the arm until destroyed, or the user release it. While using this technique the user can still move freely and attack with both hands. Whether it be attack another person of beating up on the enemy currently in its grasp before reaching out to grab the spectral arm and throwing the enemy to the ground, or a direction of their choosing. The impact also reflecting the strength of the user and the rank for the taijutsu. The user could even decide to use a ninjutsu while using this technique as both its hands are free to roam. Its B and A rank counter part can only be obtained through the transformation of the Devil Trigger. Which in this form does the same thing. Except that instead of being grabbed by the spectral arm the enemy will be grabbed by the demonic silhouette, which in this form holds more physical power and does latching and slamming damage equal to that of the B or A rank.

ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: N/A
REQUIREMENT: "Great Sword" , "Great Sword Control SA"
DESCRIPTION: While in a batting stance the user swings a "Great Sword” in the direction of the opponents center mass point of their body. Usually the stomach depending on the length of the opponents torso. However, in much more serious cases the user may strike an opponents hips as a point of center mass. The latter usually dealing the most punishing form of damage as it could cause immediate fracture and breaking to the area. Naturally, upon impact the person being struck is sent flying backwards. The shape of their body becoming like that of a "C” shape curve sending the user flying back in a straight line about 3 feet above the ground. Due to the force of impact it leaves the user immobilized during ‘flight’ and can send them as close as 15 meters to as far as 45 meters depending on how hard the user swings.

It consists of a long hilt wrapped in a red material, a distinctively large hand guard which the other swords are locked into, a wide length of blade, and an equally long but thinner length ending in a point. Yōgan is the only sword among the six that is double-sided. Yōgan has two forms. In the first, the appearance is as described above, with the blade appearing to be one solid length of metal except for the transition between the wide and thin halves. In the second, the blade is pulled in two lengthwise; the edges are locked apart and the sword's complex inner portion is visible, giving the blade a different appearance. Yōgan's Battle mode [ X ]

[Yutakako Ryuu]

You'll never get away

when you're running

from the past

Ryuu took another glance out at the smoke filled battlefield as he waited for the signal. For the first time ever, so long as he could remember, he was beginning to second guess his original plan. Sure, he could keep tight to Sanosuke and use him as a guide, but once they were in the smoke it would be tough. Even with his eye it would be hard for Sanosuke to fight and direct traffic for Ryuu. Still, he was prepared to move and as such continued to wait. Then, it came, the shouting of the other woman who had arrived. It seemed she wasn't one for subtlety and that worked to their advantage. Sure enough, the moment she shot of at the mouth Sanosuke was on the move. However, just as Ryuu went to follow he paused after coming out from behind the wall, there was another noise that he didn't like.



The young blonde looked back at the temple they had been preparing to defend and then looked straight up. "Shit..." Ryuu muttered the curse under his breath as he looked at the smoke and the now disappeared Sanosuke and instead turned back and ran to Kaiya. He would take up a position right beside her so as to allow him to speak to her without risk of being heard. He'd point up so as to get her to follow his hand before speaking. "I think someone is going to try and get past us from above... I don't have any true ranged techniques so I can't stop them... If you have anything that you can do to bring them down to the ground I will handle to rest...



With that Ryuu cracked his knuckles and kept his eyes locked on the lines that had attached themselves to the temple. Someone was coming, or at least that's what he thought. For all he knew they could have been there from the start, but in this case he wasn't going to take any chances. He prepared himself for what might happen next and just hoped that Sanosuke would be alright on his own until the smoke cleared a bit. Until then, he'd wait to see if Kaiya could bring down their airborne target and, if so, he'd beat them into submission.

With Life There Is Always Another Chance

In The Light There Is Always Darkness

Guard. That had been her job. No one was going to get past, not by her. She’d stand steady and watch. For through a large cloud of smoke, anything could come. Above, below, side, side, straight through… Lots of ground to cover. And she had no eyes to see through it. Thankfully, she wasn’t taking much action. She watched and waited, her seal glowing gently behind that cover she had taken. A call could be clearly heard through the other side of the nonsense. The large boy on her team disappeared. Nothing else could be seen. Nothing from all those directions she was worried about. Nothing… well…. Except slight movement?

She almost missed it. Wasn’t totally sure she saw something. But at Ryu heading her way and looking almost worried she’d be more alert. Words confirmed. She was off. Far, so far. But not out of reach. This thing avoided the cloud of smoke, went around it. They were soaring up towards the wall! Taking a deep breath, Kaiya would be on her approach. Their speed on foot was not to be matched, sure. Kaiya couldn’t have covered the same distance in that same time. But compared to hooks and air tanks? A trained shinobi? Far more comparable. Still not there herself, she was up above no wall. That didn’t matter though, no. Something far greater than her would stand in the way of this creature aiming to fly over the walls. This coated thing that flew with hooks and wires.

The pride of the Masahiro clan would light up the skies. Glowing blue chakra ablaze spreading immediately from where she stood, above, up and over the wall, and out before her. Surely, this mass projection would block the path of the thing meaning to spearhead to victory. Not just a wall of stone to go over, but a near infinite wall of blue weapons [Mass Projection of Weapons]. Rapiers. All pointing out away from the outpost. And soon for a blonde girl to be climbing the walls and meet whatever may have been speared by the literal wall of weapons before them.

Seal still glowing, activated and prepared, the shift of her enemy in the air to get past her wall of weapons would have brought on raining blue weaponry [Weapon Stream]. All of them. Massive amounts. But as long as Squeakers didn’t intend to move past… the wall would remain…. Little Kaiya having taken to the wall with chakra focused at her feet [Surface Walking] to meet them there. And… she didn’t want to think about then what… her breath was already caught, breathing hard, and even her feet had trouble finding focus to not slip on that wall, assuming stream had actually occurred… Time was slim. Hopefully Ryu had followed her…

The butterflies. The moths. Somewhere approaching, somewhere coming from smoke and from her friend. She may have noticed them, but only vaguely. Her rush towards the one climbing the wall would have left that detail behind.

SPOILER: Click to show

Intent is to have noticed Mika along with Ryu. Head in that direction. And on approach make a wall of weapons just as Mika would have been coming over the wall, as if the weapons were an extension. Kaiya still gives chase and climbs. If Mika can manuever through, or attempts, rapiers all aim to pummel her.


NAME: Buki no tairyō tōei [ Mass projection of weapons ]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: High
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu,
ELEMENT: If applicable.
DESCRIPTION:

This is in a way the upgraded version of the Buki Tōei in a sense that it allows the projection of weapons in a bulk. By spreading his chakra around him the user can manifest a large amount of weapons around him. Due to that the weapons appear to be floating in the air. The number of weapons projected depends on the chakra channeled into the jutsu. The projections are usually from one type of weapon and are plain in design but true master of the jutsu is able to project a virtual armory of weapons with complex designs.


NAME: Buki no nagare [ Weapon stream ]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low,
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu,
ELEMENT:Fūton
DESCRIPTION:

This is one of the essential weapons that the practitioners of the Masahiro hijutsu learn. In itself it’s a rather simple technique that imbues the objects with Fūton natured chakra that propels them forward. While it can be used on almost anything it’s mainly used in conjunction with Buki no tairyō tōei for devastating effect


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.

I really can't remember if I'm insane or insomniac

This poor kid. Clone #2 watched as the whole thing went down. His katana had been stolen easily--admittedly, the Clone wasn't too set on fighting for the blade, since he was a clone and could easily disperse--the weapon disappearing with him--or even resort to his many kunai that he had. He certainly wasn't unarmed, still, and he somewhat wondered if this kiddo even knew how to properly wield a katana. Maybe he could swing it around a bit, but... in comparison to a trained bukijutsu user? The clone could probably defend himself well enough against his katana with just a kunai.
    Stepping back, he watched as all of Sabishi's clones attacked the puppet kid. Throwing him to the ground and pinning him there, while the bombed clone pushed a foot on the kid's chest.
    Clone #2 sighed and crossed his arms, cocking his head to one side as he watched the pitiful display.
    Did the enemy group really think it was such a great idea to have one kid left all alone to defend himself?
    Against an entire group of shinobi?
    Not to mention, this guy was almost... laughable.
    Clone #2 wasn't the type to be impressed by genin to begin with, but this guy... certainly wasn't helping the impression he had of them.
    And, just when he thought the kid would be sensible enough to give up, since he was clearly out-numbered and already pinned to the ground, the kid made one last resort. Strings coming up from the sand, from beneath the surface, just to... strike the clone on his chest.
    Which was the rock clone that had the bomb.
    Of which this kid was within ridiculously close range of.
    He literally just detonated a bomb that was sitting on his chest.
    Clone #2 sighed from where he stood, watching the whole thing. He really hoped that the kid would survive an almost suicide bombing like that. In this range, there's no way he was going to get out of it unmaimed.
    And frankly, he did it to himself.
    He could have been left unharmed if he'd only just submitted...

SPOILER: Click to show

"... the clones would rip their blades free only when the bomb clone had stepped forth, standing on top of the boy and pressing their foot against their chest..."

Considering he just detonated a bomb that was essentially on top of him, I think it's safe to assume his heart(s) will be damaged at this point. 

    
---

Squeakers just barely managed to notice the wall of weapons that materialized before him, before he immediately shot his grapples downward into the surface of the wall and pulled himself back. Rolling and landing on the wall, he barely managed to stop his high-speed movement to avoid colliding with the rather unpleasant collection of swords.
    And, upon landing, he immediately moved an arm up to protect himself, while his other hand instinctively moved to draw his sword--but he stopped himself when he saw the rapiers staying put.
    What?
    Standing upright, he cocked his head to the side, gazing up at the weapons. And, carefully, he extended one hand to poke the sharp tip of one of them.
    Yup, those are definitely real, he thought, recoiling his hand before the weapon could cut through his glove. He didn't want an inch of his skin showing, after all.
    But Squeakers would not attempt to move past the mass projection of weapons.
    Frankly, he wasn't sure if he even could, and he was counting himself lucky enough as it was that the blades hadn't already pierced him through a hundred times. There certainly wasn't anything within range that went higher than the wall, so he couldn't grapple anything and shoot himself above this weapon wall, too. For a second, he considered jumping down, smashing the wall with a solid punch. Using the debris from the wall as a cover, he could probably shield himself somewhat from these weapons if they did attack.
    Then again, they probably could surround him at all angles, so wherever wasn't covered by the stone debris would still likely be harmed...
    It was a decent idea. Probably good for a last resort. But not so good he was willing to risk it.
    Maybe he should go back to the rest of his group and do this the way he'd initially wanted to--slowly and thoroughly instead of hurrying the hell up with the mission. Just rushing past while his loud-mouthed teammate drew all of the attention to herself.
    Well. Most.
    A young blonde-haired girl climbed up the wall and met with Squeakers atop it.
    A blonde young man followed after her, it seemed. Whether he was climbing up the wall as well or staying on the ground was of little consequence.
    Squeakers sighed. Damn. Two against one. And this wall of weapons seems like a powerful technique. I'd rather not be on the receiving end of it. But at the same time, I can't just let myself be captured, and I can't just surrender. Whichever of the two noticed me and made all of these rapiers seems to be acting with mercy, but there's no saying the other will. "Hm." He stared at the girl as she approached. There was something about her expressions, even as she moved with full intent to come upon him that made her seem almost... soft.
    Well, maybe an enemy is willing to maim or kill an enemy. But, let's see how much these two are like me, shall we?
    Flickering suddenly, Squeakers would appear--not beyond the wall or attempting to move through or past the weapons--but rather, right by Ryuu's side. Then, in the blink of an eye, a smoke bomb would explode--the entire area consumed in a cloud of ashen dust.
    Was the blonde girl willing to attack blindly into the fray--not knowing if she would be striking friend or foe? Or would she wait...
    ...Only to find Five Ryuus, and one Squeakers that was running back to his teammates!!

2/2 Smoke Bombs Used

NAME: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique] x5 (making a total of now 6 Shadow Clones present in the exam)
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, as well as their kekkei genkai. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained along with it's remaining chakra are passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

NAME: Henge no Jutsu [Transformation Technique] x5
RANK: E
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
After performing the necessary hand seals, the user transforms their appearance to become that of another person, animal or even an inanimate object. This is considered one of the most advanced academy techniques, as it requires a constant emission of chakra as well as constant mental focus to maintain the transformation. Shinobi are limited to transforming into objects roughly their own size, preventing them from turning into a fly while being able to carry items far greater than their transformed state.

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] 1/4
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.

[Yugao Akio]

I HAVE A FRIEND

a moth named snowflake

VERY BAD THINGS

such horrible things

Whether it was because the insects were small moths or because more important things pressed peoples attention. No one seemed to notice Akio's butterfly or moths, but they'd have little to meet or encounter themselves. The first moth released earlier would be visually seen, but totally ignored. It'd land upon the tentacle monster's clothes as it was trained to believe the best landing spot. Crawl into the folds and place two 'feet' down upon the victim. It'd be a meaningless tag most likely as the kid was about to be exploded? Hopefully he'd have a measure to escape the blast, it wasn't Akio's goal to kill and or have snowflakes senselessly burn.

Another moth would find itself drawn upon one noise, which would in fact lead it to one of the enemies. Despite the boys clear sight he seemed uninterested in moths. As this one would flutter straight to the boys back, as to land right on his waist line. Settling in before also placing it's insignificant touch upon the genin's back. It made sense why he'd ignore the bug, as a full grown woman wielding a large weapon would threaten his life. Sadly though ignoring the bug for the person wouldn't pay off long term.

The other moths and butterfly were less lucky, the butterfly either losing direction or concentration would break from the smoke first. One actually catching the site of the stone shinobi retreating back to another shinobi. Surprisingly one the butterfly swore they recognized. "I see, I see!" The Butterfly chirped triggering three snowflake to move throw the smoke and abandon searching in it. One spotting the boy as well, while the other two would spot the chipper butterfly. Swooping in at both the Iwagakure shinobi and now Yukigakure shinobi the butterfly would recognize the girl.

"Oh! the girl!" The butterfly would flutter higher above the wall and begin calling out. "Akio! The Girl! Akio! CHEESE! CHEESE!" The butterfly proceeded to lose it's shit and squeak out excessively. It wasn't doing this out of any strategy of it's own design, but it would be another distraction. As the attention was either facing Mika or this annoying butterfly. A moth would attempt to seamlessly plop onto the Yutakako's back. Two more snowflakes approaching to either catch Kaiya or succeed where the other failed.

The tagging of these individuals meant they'd all see a sudden flash of smoke, it'd follow with the revealing of a singular wolf. A large wolf barring sharp fangs and a thick white coat. They'd wear Yukigakure's headband and for all intense purposes appear to be a summon. Who and how might raise questions, but the impending threat of claws and fangs would likely make that question hard to ask. The animal would growl dominantly before attempting to circle it's prey and jump for them at the first opportunity.

Akio himself would hear combat within the smoke, but not really looking for a physical confrontation. He'd leave the fight to the girl and merely try to drag Nobohiro onward. "I don't hear my butterflies bumping into much in this smoke, we've got to charge through it. The majority of the enemy is likely further on..." Akio would state with a nervous sweat, but thankfully the heat sweat hid it perfectly. He wasn't looking forward to a fight, especially if the odds were on the other side. The team was now effectively quite split, so much would run on Mika. Hopefully she wasn't captured going around.

If Nobohiro didn't stick to his side or take a lead through the smoke, then Akio would take a deep breath neaten his dress shirt and then charge. He'd move with a hastened pace though to an average shinobi it'd feel more brisk than usual. He wasn't physically fit at all though, so he didn't quite tread like the average shinobi. Proceeding through the smoke, then onward to the check point, it'd be likely he and Nobohiro if tagged along would come up from behind the two guarding who now faced Mika. Akio would be totally stunned by the fact Kaiya was on the other team. He simply didn't want to act at this point.

It'd be the medics turn to act or maybe Mika needed to pull of something? He needed to pull himself together, focus upon the Iwagakure shinobi. All six of them? To say this looked bad was an understatement.

Summons in use: Infinite Swarm: Twenty of them
Items: All ten snowflakes.
Jutsu used: NAME: Nise no Kuchiyose [False Summoning]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
A fairly simple, yet useful technique for tricking an opponent. The user will proceed through the process of summoning in the normal manner. Upon the target(s) seeing the user place their hand on a surface the technique will be triggered. The technique allows the user to summon a small to medium size summon of any animal type they wish, which then may be used to "attack" the target(s). It may even appear to do damage to them, but of course this is all fictional. Generally the technique is utilized to make an opponent waste time and energy fighting something that is not even there.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Only one of you noted actually seeing my moth after I noted you'd need to note them... so I think it's fair to say I caught Sanosuke and 'Tetsuya'? Granted he isn't all blown up pain out of it. Though I'd also think I could maybe get Ryu caught, as he's got his attention at the one trying to sneak around.

[Nōhime Sabishī]

Sabishi wasn’t impeded at all, and as a result, she and her now four clones found themselves running out and encountering none. However...it didn’t take a genius for her to notice the brilliant shine of blue through the smoke as it began to disperse slowly over time, and so, as her clones and herself progressed, she could tell in the distance see the chaos breaking out as it seemed her teammates had found enemies. Moving slower then, she stopped herself as she flanked the opponents, the two that were standing by this great wall of weapons. Gazing at these enemies, her clones and herself gazed at each other as they made their plans. Right then.

Appearing silently from the smoke, she looked to her clone and whispered to her doppelgangers. ‘Do it.’ Suddenly, Nohime Sabishi formed a brief set of handseals, before leaping into the waiting hands of her clone, high into the air followed by one of her clones before the two remaining charged forwards with battlecries. "HAAAAAAAAAGH!” The intention of this movement? To draw their attention from the true deadly danger, and to put her foes into a state of panic, especially the blonde male in the event he fell under genjutsu. As the two stone clones pressed forward, the real Sabishi and the clone were well above their heads in the blindspot.

The original targeted the small blonde girl with a technique. ‘Doton. Iwadeppo no Jutsu.’ Being mindful not to be in a blatant spot for them to catch her shadow, especially with the diversion, the real Sabishi would suddenly exhale a small stone. It moved incredibly fast, she speed of a bullet, and as it sped, it would suddenly grow in size, attempting to slam her straight in the skull, a three foot rock that would normally knock any normal human unconscious, if not outright split their head open. In the event she had somehow noticed Sabishi, this was followed by two more shots, attempting at forcing her backwards from the ambush towards Mika.

As for Ryu? The second clone in the air would fall at the same time as her diversionary clone would attack him. The clone charging him would attempt to slash at his stomach in a horizontal slice, the one above him trying to slam the bottom of the sword down on top of his head, and or again, force them towards Mika and his shadow clones. They were surrounded, ambushed, and outmatched. In any event, if her actions were successful, Sabishi landed upon the ground at around the same time as her clone, blade brandished, and quite frankly prepared to kill any and all members of the enemy team.

They had set this explosive trap, a massive one capable of certainly mortally injuring and killing any one of them. She was going to do the same in return for their harsh reaction. Hopefully, having realized they were severely outnumbered with no way to escape? They’d give up. Otherwise? While Squeakers said he would appreciate it if she didn’t kill anyone, he/she didn’t say anything about cutting off someone’s arms...the bastards deserved it.

NAME: Doton: Iwadeppō no Jutsu [Earth Release:Stone Pistol]

RANK: C

CHAKRA USAGE: Low (Per Usage)

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu

ELEMENT: Doton

HANDSEALS: Monkey->Ram->Snake->Tiger->Snake

DESCRIPTION:

An extremely common technique in the land of Iwagakure no Sato, this technique allows the user to mold chakra within their body in which bullet-sized bits of rock are expelled from the user's mouth with great speed and force. After they are fired, the chunks expand into huge boulders. This technique when used collaboratively is said to be able to destroy a mountain. The bullets when fired will grow to the size of roughly 3 feet large which is still easily dodgeable enough.

Summary Of Action:
1. Traveled along smoke until noticing weapons firing upward.
2. Followed the edge until noticing the enemy in the thinning smoke of which she has cover of, noticing Mika's clones likely drawing their attention.
3. Clones 1 and 2 throw her up into the air along with clone four and charge from the smoke to draw their attention as ambush as Sabishi original and clone four soar through the air towards them.
4. Real Sabishi fires a single stone bullet looking to hit Kaiya in the skull, followed by more if she evades.
5. Clone 4 Sabishi is nice and is aiming a nonlethal blow, but strikes at the same time as Clone 3 to make a double block difficult or impossible. 

[Fujioka Isamu]

I CAN'T FIND

0000 WORDS ■ @tag ■ SUPER SMALL NOTE

MY WAY

Isamu was far from special. Older than most genin and a little dull to boot, she rushed into a cloud of smoke screaming her location. Irritated and aggravated due to someone trying to blow her sky high, she raced in and even had to choke and cough as she pushed herself onward. Always pushing. Plowing straight through. That is how she accomplished her goals.

The redhead wasn’t standing, though. Definitely not. Charing was more accurate, like a raging bull. She nearly missed him in the smoke. Nearly. But she did see him. A sort of double take. A renewed irritation, maybe a cough, and then direct charge. Her strike went straight out with hellfire and fierce speed. She’d crack this asshole! Except somehow she didn’t. Prowess failing her for some reason and her javelin just barely skimming by the boy who sidestepped. She nearly growled at what was occurring. Aggravating boy. Foot planting, she’d mean to swing that javelin that already struck forward and bring it around to bash into his side. Only to find him striking too. Whatever. She’d take a hit to break all his ribs.

Which would be her mistake. A burst of light and power burst from that punch she was meaning to take in order to slam him with her weapon, extending quickly and seizing her by the side. Sucks for him, if she took that hit she’d damn well get hers in too! Likely not as hard as all of the power she could produce… but he’d be fuckin’ bruised!!

Still.. this sucked. Caught up in some weird glowing thing, the female would struggle about. And Sanosuke could be damn sure that it meant swinging her javelin at him. In fact, after a few careless swings in swift succession, she’d hone that better… Except he drew a sword. Bigass one too. Too bad for him he definitely wasn’t going to be at her back. Not from that sidestep at least. She would have kept facing him that whole damn time. Now if he walked around her? That was another story. Maybe he was behind her then… But more time!

For then, focus wasn’t on breaking the hand. Which was probably unfortunate…. As she definitely had the strength to… But! She had this bigass sword to deal with! Incoming line drive, she’d have her own weapon in hand. Sure, some crazy light magic was going on that held her in place and squeezed at her ribs and midsection, but she still had arms and a weapon! Swing and swing. An ‘x’ formation meant to bat his stupid sword left than right rather than batter straight into her. And if she did get to knock that sword out of the way and get her opening, he’d be sure that javelin would be aimed straight for his chest!

SPOILER: Click to show

I know Akio’s moths are supposed to be hitting, but I wasn’t sure when or what he would do?? So I just went with the whole post. When Akio’s moths hit she’ll probably be stunned and trip about or something if he just freaks out. I am sorry!!

Strength SA should be remembered!
Javelin SA makes all her javelin things super good!!
Durability SA makes her take attacks better!!

[Han]

The medic boy had to admit that this was moderately to extremely overwhelming. So much was happening, chaos, everywhere. He preferred silent tactics, but he figured out now that perhaps genin were not as capable of it as he would have liked. So here he was, in the middle of it all. Preparing to assist Akio in whatever way he could. He would move, quickly making sure to step out of the way of attacks if any came his way, he senses tuned up at an all time high as he kept moving his body a little tense but he knew that missing a beat wouldn't be good at this moment in time.

Moving with Akio he kept pace easily but he was still nervous. They came upon a new fighting duo. Now what? He looked over at Akio. Couldn't he use some butterflies to distract again? If not Nobohiro could use his smoke but he didn't know if it was a good idea. Smoking up the area could mean teammates might get stuck in it, and frankly he didn't need some of his teammates literally falling over dead because he decided to use it. He could use some taijutsu techniques as well, but he wasn't sure how helpful he was in this situation. The only thing he could think of right now, was to make sure everyone knew that he had the scroll.

"Okay we need to get me over..." This was all meant to be a ruse, to get the others to chase him. The one with the real scroll now needed attention off of them, that was all that mattered.

"I can't be standing around like an idiot holding the scroll.. No one has even tried to come for me, so we should go now, shouldn't we?" He looked tentatively at Akio hoping someone, anyone would hear him.

[Mikatakujira Tetsuya]

As the explosion went off the doll Tetsuya owned flew back away from it, landing without a sound on the dirt as it wriggled a bit. Inside was a still beating heart with a thing layer of black worms stabbing into it and moving about as the shock from the explosion was wearing off on them. All that remained at the scene were a bunch of rocks and charred dirt, and no sign of a corpse. Not that a bomb could probably leave any trace, however there wasn't even any sort of blood around, as if the whole thing disappeared in the ground. From under the clone of the one known as squeakers more tendrils would sprout out from under them and wrap around their ankles and pull them down into the sound while a burnt hand came forth from the sand and flexed its grip for a chance at the clone's throat.

Tetsuya could hardly be called human when he has a single heart powering the mass of black tendrils inside of his body that keep him immortal. A parasite that constantly craves for more human hearts that manifests as voices in the boy's head yet many say its a small price to pay for the boon it grants. Immortality is the biggest covet from this gift but having a body made up of tendrils that can act on the hosts will is a great asset in combat as well as the fact that once Tetsuya has obtained a heart he gains its affinity for elemental chakra which allows him to expand his repertoire.

LAIKA OF GS!

[TAKEDA SANOSUKE™]

So far things probably were getting a closed to planned as they could possibility. That wasn't a bad thing, it just meant that there were still a lot more hurdles for him to overcome. For a moment it appeared that he had the upper hand, but given all the credit he'd indirectly given to her he knew that wasn't going to last long and already she was showing him why. Despite the pain most Genin might have been in after being caught in the grasp of his spectral arm she managed to fight through the pain. Her resilience was beautiful. Something to admire indeed. In fact, he wished that there was a chance the two of them could square off more openly without the distraction of having to play capture the flag.

However, given the circumstances that was probably never going to happen. Nevertheless, he had other issues to deal with. So far she was caught within his grasp so his next move was to take two back steps to her side and of course strike her with one of his more powerful Bukijutsu. However, with her still trying to strike with precision with the strength of a wild animal he'd find his plans a lot harder to come by. As he moved in to perform his line drive technique she'd follow up with a surprising technique of her own it looked like. He couldn't tell exactly what it was that she was doing, but he did know that its intention was to probably divert his attack away from her. Had he not taken it upon himself to activate his Devil Bringer this might have brought along a huge problem, but given the strength boost provided by using his Kekkei Genkai his strength was sure to outmatch her own. Hopefully?

The initial clashing with her javelin would no doubt put her into an uncomfortable position. With him swinging at full force she'd either have the option of letting the javelin go upon impact depending on how far apart in strength they'd be at this point, or she'd take the full momentum of the swing while holding on to it causing her body to be shifted completely out of position defensively based on the weight, momentum, and strength from his Line Drive technique. Not only would it cause her to be out of position, but the sudden focus on trying to maintain her weapon could potentially increase the effectiveness of his spectral arms grip onto her body given her midsections limited turning radius. Regardless, this would leave her open for yet another strike to which he'd make another attempt at using his Line Drive technique. Both feet planted as he'd drive his sword back in the opposite direction from where it initially swung. The intent this time to drive the blade right toward her exposed hip section.

If all of this were to follow through the impact from his attack it would release her from the grip of the spectral arm, and at the same time send her flying possibly out of the smoke uncontrollably and easily fracturing that part of her body. Hopefully taking her out all together from the fight while also not causing enough harm to her to kill, or to even ruin her Shinobi Career. Nevertheless, regardless of what transpired here in the background of all this another puff of smoke would appear out of nowhere. Out of it appeared a large wolf. The beast was much larger than what he'd read in his textbooks and was wearing a Shinobi headband. Has someone else spotted me in this smoke as well? The Takeda thought briefly as the timing of it showing up was almost too perfect. Nonetheless, he'd have his hands full try to deal with it depending on how formidable this summon was.

He hadn't done much research into them, and only based on the way it appeared and its headband gave away its origin. Otherwise he could only assume it was a wild animal. Its presence intimidating as it showed off all the features of which made them a predator to most. Asserting its dominances before circling around him waiting for the perfect moment to strike he'd assume. Hopefully it had some bags up its tricks because if not it was going to be a one hit KO easy. With his eyes and all his gifts bestowed upon him by his ancestors there was only so little he could do.

NOTES: Although it is not an "official guide” Sanosuke has the advantage in his strength when using his "right” arm. Which he does while swinging the weapon. As such Isamu has Genin level Secondary Buki Strength + Strength SA + Javelin SA + D rank Bukijutsu being used -(minus) Whatever bonus in strength she might lose being caught in the grasp by the Spectral arm which in someway has to limited her range of motion. Sanosuke has Chuunin level Sole Buki Strength + Great Sword SA + C rank Bukijutsu being used. IMO, because of this her attack would not be strong enough to ward off his own. How this plays out of course "is not” limited to what I put ( To avoid thinking I’m God modding as I only provided outcomes I felt were suitable), and based off how you feel or any questions you may have feel free to reach me. I’m all game to be schooled if it means us coming to a fair solution. Nevertheless, after said sequences of attacks, or at least toward the very end The Genjutsu triggers Sanosuke to which he’ll be fooled into believe its real until whatever happens in the next post gives a reason to believe otherwise.

BYAKUGAN ACTIVE: 2 Meter radius of clear vision. Anything outside of that will practically place his vision at the same visual prowess as everyone else. Sanosukes prowess using the Byakugan goes beyond its all seeing ability; It also grants him heighten senses, allowing him to follow high-speed movements, putting him in a better position to analyze his opponent's actions. This also allows Sanosuke to predict and better react to them.

CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
REQUIREMENTS: In order for the user to use the C rank version of this jutsu the user needs to have already learned the Devil Bringer Transformation. The User must achieve the Devil Trigger transformation in order to use the B and A rank version of this jutsu.
HANDSEALS: N/A
DESCRIPTION: By using the chakra infused into the right arm of the Devil Bringer the user is able to manifest a larger spectral arm that takes on a physical projection of the Devil Bringer capable of grasping its opponents. By throwing their arm in a upward motion, like that of an upper cut—or straight jab—and by releasing the chakra infused into the arm, the user releases a spectral arm that latches on to its enemy. Grabbing ahold of them before the user retracts his arm from the projection, but instead of the spectral arm following his retraction it is able to maintain its physical form on its own. Holding on to the enemy with strength that matches that of the user and rank of the taijutsu. The initial shock of the impact, especially if not prepared for such a move can also cause physical damage to the opponent also equal to the rank of the Taijutsu. This does not however mean that the opponent will be unable to free themselves. Those with Str higher than that of the user have a good chances of freeing themselves from the jutsu. The use of a Taijutsu of higher rank can however, break through the spectral arm. In unique cases if one uses a Ninjutsu above that of the jutsus rank then it can be destroyed. In the meantime the opponent is bound to the will of the arm until destroyed, or the user release it. While using this technique the user can still move freely and attack with both hands. Whether it be attack another person of beating up on the enemy currently in its grasp before reaching out to grab the spectral arm and throwing the enemy to the ground, or a direction of their choosing. The impact also reflecting the strength of the user and the rank for the taijutsu. The user could even decide to use a ninjutsu while using this technique as both its hands are free to roam. Its B and A rank counter part can only be obtained through the transformation of the Devil Trigger. Which in this form does the same thing. Except that instead of being grabbed by the spectral arm the enemy will be grabbed by the demonic silhouette, which in this form holds more physical power and does latching and slamming damage equal to that of the B or A rank.
