[Suikazura]

    It had been a month of preparation. Hard physically taxing training, learning her seals and movements, she even managed to learn some techniques based entirely on her ability to use motion on a constant basis. That was less relevant in the moment though, Takara was what was relevant. She was watching and Suikazura came down, and beneath that gaze she would not fail. She absolutely. Could. Not. Allow. Failure. Suikazura had breifly met and had discussed the girl with another in the exam, Wasurete, but it had not been an end all be all of skills discussion. Her teammates having gone, and their results having been made, she was the final display of the Rock shinobi. A weight she would gladly bear, heavy as it was, the thought of failure was heavier. The nip of frost almost seeming to beat off her body as she removed the heavier clothing when she was called down to the arena. Revealing for those who had not seen, the copious tattoos that covered her body. And the stare of someone who was only minded to one thing.

    As she made her way to the arena the crowd would be drowned, the notion of anything but her opponent would die out, she had one thing that required focus. Just one enemy. Pulling her best blade from her chest she would do the preparations that came with a spar, albiet a dangerous one. Holding it so that the steel rested on her shoulder until she got out. Just one issue that stood in her way to success. She would erase it at all costs, noting would hinder her, she would not stand for that. As she would stare down her opponent her eyes held nothing, hollow of everything except a sense of desire. Suikazura that had been on the train, the happy one was not here. A killer stood waiting for her signal to go. A stance ready to take any and all control of the fight. She would win. She would win.

[Asuka Waruichi]

During the time that had followed the youths success from the tournament she didn't let up on her training not even for a moment and was rather surprised when her family had arrived to greet her a few days before the finals of the exams. During that time she made the necessary adjustments to her outfit and also was quietly perfecting a series of jutsu she had been working on back at home which she was excited to put on display. It was a combination of the Iron Silk Techniques and the Iron Fist syle she had become so accustomed to using. She called it Kinu Ryu, a form of combat that involved using tempered silk to produce an insane level of striking power. She had finally mastered it and was ready to show it to the world. It was her way of hiding her shortcomings of not being the savviest individual when it came to clan hijutsu and was yet another form of self expression to the young Waruichi.

She was introduced to the crowd by her name and upon hearing it called the girl would emerge from the tunnel and bow to the crowd, keeping up her polite and sportsmanlike demeanor. In this instance she felt less like a shinobi and more like a martial artist competing in a prize fight. But this was still somewhat different she was representing not only her family, but also her village as well as herself. And as she scanned the crowd she looked specifically to the section where her family and the Mizukage sat and bowed deeply to them. Shooting a strong look to her grandmother, the woman she wanted to prove herself to the most next to the Mizukage. She'd hear her younger sister Asuka cheer for her and would then look to her opponent. Placing her right fist into her palm and bowing to her foe.

"Suikazura-chan. It’s good to see you and an honor to face you in combat.” after the formalities the youth entered into her combat stance and would keep a sharp locked on her foe. She wasn't trying to hurt anyone but she wasn't intending on holding back, she wasn't sure what Suikazura was capable of but she was eager to find out just what it was that she could do. She seemed to have the same zeal as her so this should be a good fight. "Alright this is it!" she thought. Asuka's training, dedication was primed and set to pay off for this would be her chance to show the world why she called herself the Iron Fist of the Hidden Mist. She crafted a hand seal and was ready to begin.

[Suikazura]

    A brief reprieve would show as her opponent acknowledged her, a small polite smile. It vanished as fast as it had appeared though. As the two girls had taken a ready stance Suikazura would readily grip her left hand into a fist and pull it to her chest, the proctor would call for the exam to begin and Suikazura would waste no time at all. Her arsenal set in place her hand would open to the signal and she would begin to motion backwards. Asuka would come to her she was sure, those toned muscles were not for show. A puff of smoke would reveal a small ball which the girl would slice with her blade, a blanket of smoke filling the area surrounding her. She had already accounted herself for the nearest rock, it was more than enough distance to space herself from the beastly girl before her. Strength being a contest she would be obvious in losing, she would win, but reckless decisions did not beget good results. She needed to be cautious in her decision making, and she would be as she formed the seal to body flicker. Hiding for a brief moment as she would pull out the first of her tricks.

    Two kunai, that looked normal... mostly. The wrapping was not all that normal though, and she would not be afraid to start the fight off with a bang. A homage to her lady tsuchikage, she would begin to charge the kunai with chakra. Climbing and leaping from her cover behind the rock she would enter air from a high point and look down below for the girl. If she spotted Asuka she would immediately throw both kunai, the two projectiles traveling not directly at the girl, but rather in a bisect, as if to trap her in-between them harmless on appearance in the air, but they would not have time to truly look at them til they dug themselves into the dirt, having suddenly sped to the ground at twice the pace they had, her hands forming a single seal as she crunched her sword between her head and shoulder.

    "Boom." She whispered as the paper tags would go off from the two intersecting kunai, spread only a few meters apart. An intersection of circumference as the flaming explosion filled the stadium. She would land not too far off from the explosion itself and ready her sword again, her open hand closed again as she started to hunker in, a gentle glow on her blade.

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
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. The hand seal for this technique must be held until the shinobi reaches their destination, making it impossible to utilize other techniques regardless of any preparation.

NAME: Kaze no Youni [Like the Wind]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu
ELEMENT: Fuuton
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
This technique, like many before, is based around using chakra to enhance the weapon's properties. Like now, a bit of chakra is put into every shuriken before a throw. Half-way to the target, chakra is released in a violent burst, launching the projectiles forward with twice as much speed as before. It can surprise opponents preparing to defend against them, and throw them off-guard.

[Asuka Waruichi]

With the whites of the floor now visible, Asuka would notice as her opponent would remove a blade to slice open a smoke bomb. During that time, Asuka had noticed that the room had been shrouded in a smoky cloud that filled the area. Asuka used this time to hide herself within it’s grapes using the bagworm technique in order to buy herself some time. Whilst among the smoke the girl would stop for a moment and allow herself to focus looking around. Her foe couldn’t see her but she her but as the smoke dissipated she’d spot her foe in midair.

Asuka would quickly drop her jutsu and using the fading second of camouflage would leap from a rock using the strength in her legs to gain enough height to spin her body in mid air and match her foe’s location she would then lift her foot and smash it down upon the head of her enemy. The impact of the blow should it land would be rather significant with the heel of her foot being as tough as tempered steel would be enough to shatter a bone on contact, This when compounded with her great strength would only increase the damage. And with the girl being very fast with both of them being in the air there wasn’t much she could do to retaliate as far as she saw at least. However as a safely measure as she leaped into during this action the youth would also form a quick seal in case she had thought of retaliating.

[Suikazura]

    It was a quick match into the air, and while she had not expected aerial combat Suikazura was not entirely unprepared for this sort. Her teacher had an ability to float and while gravity still pulled on the two girls here, she was not entirely unguarded in the air. This was not here or there though, as the girl would suddenly become two. Sui slightly off-set from Kazura from where Suikazura used to be [Kazura Left, Sui right]. Sui having the sharp blade still gripped she would push chakra into its blade as she swung in an awkward seeming arc as Asuka would finally meet them in the air, it was only a moment that she had to take what she could, but she would do what she was allowed. As she blade flashed in a slash towards the back of the girls unguarded knee on the downward arcing leg, she would fluidly turn the blade and follow the same arc back. There was little to do for her in the air, but instead she would play a trick here as well.

    Whether her blade made contact, Kazura was a separate entity all its own and the girl and while her blade did not coat in chakra it was just as sharp as the other had been. A quick twirl of the blade turned into a flurrying saw of motion as the blade headed for front-side of the girl's knee. Her eyes not leaving the kiri girl at all in doing so. If both splits were successful in their usage they would easily take of the downward arcing leg from the knee. If either missed their marks in the air, Sui would take the blow, from a hopefully weakened leg to the shoulder.

    In doing so drop to the ground with a wince of pain as her shoulder would easily numb from the blow. It would need a moment to recoup full motion, Akira had hit her much harder in the past in spars, he did not pull his blows short of heavy injury or killing the girl. He couldn't as she forced that much from him, and the injuries she sustained from those sessions were recoverable, it hurt like hell, but she would still keep going. Even as her left hand dropped the unloaded kunai that sat firmly in Kazura's hand. They girls would land and back away into the open area behind them.

[CHAKRA USAGE] Very Low
[CLASSIFICATION] Bukijutsu
[DESC.]
After an initial swing, whether the strike lands, is avoided, or is blocked, the user will perform a simultaneous followup strike. This removes the delay between the first and second attack, catching the foe off guard and forcing them to maintain the defensive. Without the buildup behind this second assault, the strike will lose a majority of its power, only cutting into flesh without aid.

Shonaga [Untold Bourn Fang]

The sword is rapidly span in and around one's hand, creating a spinning saw of steel. With this, the user can deliver multiple flesh-rending cuts within moments to those caught within its reach, and can even parry weapons away with its ceaseless movements. However, stopping the blade will end the onslaught, which can be accomplished by disarming the user or forcing them to block.

[Asuka Waruichi]

Asuka prepared to finish her maneuver her foot nearly coming down atop the head of her foe suddenly she found herself in a rather precarious position as one of the clones seemed to be preparing to slice away at the bottom of her leg same with the other clone. "A shadow clone!?” Asuka thought as she saw the two copies of the girl before her. As the strike happened Asuka’s body would break apart into bandages wrapping the two girls up into a practically mummified state, engulfing their bodies in a thick layer of bandages enough to cover them up two times over. difficult.

She’d then appear along the wall waiting for a chance to strike, should the bandages keep the girl engulfed as she she'd hope the youth would push forward and attempt a swift and fast thrust to the girls gut and throat. The first strike would be used to cause a wound and slow the girl down possibly stabbing into her stomach and hoping to leave a hole in her stomach the strike to the throat would be used as a means of crushing the wind pipe. It could possibly kill but both injuries would be performed in a way that could take her out of the fight immediately and possibly kill her later. Asuka didn't want to kill anyone but she was trying to be smart and end this fight as fast as she possibly could.

With the tempered bandages the youth had her strikes would be incredibly damaging however in addition to this when combined with her strength the damage itself would be magnified and if her assessment of the situation was correct then perhaps she’d be able to land a few decisive blows to end the match or at least make it harder for her foe to continue. She wasn't sure what her foe was capable of and was taking a risk moving so close to a woman with a sword like hers. Here hoping the strength of the bandages would keep the girl and her shadow clone at bay allowing her to incur the damage how she wanted. Those bandages were made of tough material making potential escape rather difficult since it would tightly with little to no room for the user to move.

DESCRIPTION:
Much like the regular Kawarimi the user will replace themselves with a rather large amount of silk. Along with allowing them to use Kawarimi in any situation, the silk will also act to wrap up and bind the closest object after the user switches with it, making it a good counter attack to enemies who are fond of using Taijutsu.

Appearing as a large bolt of plain white silk. The rolls of Battle Ready Silk a Waruichi usually has are about a 3x20' length. Held onto the body much like large scrolls, or even wrapped around one as a shroud, these are seemingly plan lengths of cloth.

ABILITIES:
Like all of the Waruichi’s Battle Ready Silk, it is waterproof and highly resistant to cutting, along with the rest of the abilities of Battle Ready Silk, making it a tough material, the silk is also chakra sensitive, allowing the user to pour their chakra into it for use with the Waruichi’s Silk Hijutsu. Made to supplement their outfits, incase they need to use silk for various Jutsu, most clan members carry one or two on their person.

TAG: Suikazura
HEX: #1c578c
NOTES: Here!

[Suikazura]

    Unprepared for the Waruichi's signature silk was a understatement for the girl in the long scheme of things. Sui had been briefed on it through her informant partner in Takigakure, but not of its full capabilities, as she had gone to attack the girl she had unwound into a multitude of cloth that began to constrict her body. Her technique in motion still with the chakra-infused blade would slice into a portion of it before it would emcompass her body with a good portion in tact, Kazura would not be wound in the silk though, its leap towards the girl's duplicate would be noted. Kazura whose blade swung in a rapid motion would swing the blade to carve into the silk as the girl's began to land, enough to slice though a small crevice for Sui to begin her outward crawl.

    On the ground, Sui would be met with a hard impact but not grunt a sound as she would begin to push and cleave the opened slash on the silk further outwards. Having to take her time there with it. Kazura would not be so idle in her time spent still. She was quick to search out Asuka, who was waiting and watching visible to the eye. Kazura still holding the previously charged Kunai-paperbombs in her left hand, would force her to stay away for now, they needed to time to regroup outside the silk. Throwing the kunai towards the girl roughly, they would travel fast, and then in a burst of speed embed into the wall when they had previously not been so close. A miss? They did not hold far from the girl, but they would not hit. Instead, Kazura would sink her blade into the ground and ignite the fuses.

    If Asuka decided to approach after the kunai were thrown, she would instead lower, sinking into a defensive sword stance, she had not been hit earlier, but she had seemed entirely against the idea of dodging, as if she planned to meet strength on endurance. This would place the trigger for one of the girl's trump cards to this fight, another trick, this one of the eye, though she doubted Asuka would be able to tell immediately it was a gross technique to deal with.

{ tags } Asuka Waruichi
{ notes } The technique, Kinu Kawarimi no Jutsu specifies that it binds the closest object after the user switches with it. This would have been Sui who was in contact, and, in fact, was mummified.

Another Note with the new information Kazura is the left and back and Sui is the right and front. This can be used to determine inventory here forward with what we were told last night.

NAME: Itsuwari no Shinrai [False Confidence]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
HANDSEALS: 0
TRIGGER: The sight of a user falling into a defensive stance.
DESCRIPTION:
Itsuwari no Shinrai [False Confidence] is a tricky genjutsu to counter. Upon an enemy rushing the user, the user pulls themselves into a false defensive stance, looking ready to defend from the onslaught of the opponent. In reality the user is casting a genjutsu upon a rushing enemy, so the results look like whatever attack they have landed has hit without any damage or knockback. Once caught within the genjutsu the user can make the opponent think no matter how much damage they are giving the opponent that the user is impervious to damage or harm. In reality the user is actually moving out of the way of the wilder techniques of the enemy as they begin to lose their cool and waste their own chakra.

While this technique can be used by mostly anyone, it is stronger with someone who is known to have techniques that are capable of delaying pain or healing quickly. If an opponent doesn't know the user it is significantly harder to trick them into believing the genjutsu further than trickery and will only last for 2 rotations, maximum. If the opponent knows the user doesn't have any significant healing technique or pain delay, the opponent will be able to guess they are trapped within a genjutsu.

If the genjutsu is used upon someone who knows their opponent has techniques capable of healing quickly or delaying pain or if it is revealed in a battle so the opponent is aware of the knowledge, the subconscious acceptance that the user can normally heal or avoid damage will trap the opponent into the genjutsu for longer, for a maximum of 4 rotations.

When an opponent uses an area effect jutsu on the user, in reality the user will have to move out of the way whereas within the realms of the genjutsu the user is not moving and seems impervious to damage and pain. The jutsu resyncs to the user's location once they have moved after taking the hit, making it seem as if the user has moved incredibly quickly through the damage.

Itsuwari no Shinrai is a good way to either move out the way entirely from the opponent or go for the weak spots while they are trapped in the genjutsu, all the while the opponent is wasting chakra trying to damage the illusion.

[Asuka Waruichi]

With Asuka’s jutsu having been successfully applied the youth continued with her lunge and with her fast speed closed the gap astonishingly quick and landed her two strikes rather quickly, a deep strike to the gut and another to the throat the gut strike enough to leave a puncture wound and the throat thrust enough to crush a larynx. However as she finished her sequence the sound of a sizzle from the paper bomb kunai could be heard as Asuka continued her aerial momentum and landed behind a rock. Hearing a large detonation in the background. Upon hitting the floor she quickly set her gaze upon the girl who had seem to have been readying herself with some sort of defensive stance. Thinking that the other girl is more than likely dispatched at this point in time Asuka would charge towards her foe in a rabbit like motion and then begin to circle around at a high speed almost as if providing some form of after image making her hard to spot.

During this time she’d also create three basic clones with each one coming at the girl from two sides. In an effort to distract her with one clone coming at her from the front another from the back the real Asuka coming from up top. The two clones would detonate into a puff of smoke and then Asuka herself would smash her foot down onto the head of her foe. With a great deal of crushing force. However if the strike landed Asuka would notice the girl wouldn’t flinch, this would throw Asuka off, her skin felt normal the strike was strong enough and Asuka knew just how strong she was why wasn’t she budging? Her limbs were practically made of steel how is it that her striking ability was so ineffective?

[Yoshiko]

Quick Battle Mod Review: Actions which took place; Asuka substituted with silk to try and intertwine Sui & Kazura. Only one could be entwined, would be Sui due to jutsu capabilities. Kazura attempts to help cut Sui free. Asuka seeing the opening jumps in and performs her two strikes on the in air Sui. Due to this being in the air the attack won't be lethal.

Situation will pick up mid air immediately after the landed strikes.

[Suikazura]

Sui

    Sheer and utter pain, the girl having begun to cleave her way out of the bindings would meet a massive wall as she was assaulted in the air. The air would leave in a spew of blood as she was thrown in the wrappings to the far wall where again she would have a heavy impact that would leave a soundless scream of pain. Hot and searing as she hacked for air from her landing. This was not done yet, Kazura needed her there. She needed to get up, out. Out. Out. Her blade faintly would slice through the remaining threads revealing the gasping and bloodied face of Sui as she tried to hold back the grimace in a snarling appearance. Blood spit from what was welling in her throat. Numbly she would stand, it was agonizing to do so, her chest feeling a slight shift of bone, but she couldn't stop yet. Death had not taken her, she would not die here. Pain was natural for the girl, she had close to this before. The fire in her chest from breathless bloody breathing was new.

    Shifting her blade for a moment into her left hand she would hunker, readying to perform a singular hand seal. One that could very well save her life. Death was not going to bring her good results, not yet. It was too early.

Kazura

    Her hair would stand on end as she watched her duplicate get hit so brutally. Sui, the more rational and sturdy-going of the two. Kazura would glare as she would form a defensive stance in the air for any incoming blows to help deflect them away, she was sure they would come. As the genjutsu would set in she would finally land alongside Asuka. Taking the chance she would take a step away in reality, but the illusion would be within distance of a flurry.

    Kazura [Illusion Form], would make a very quick slash again towards the girl's knee with the blade in her hand, offset by a good margin, Kazura [Reality] would do the same attempting a deep incision into the girl's knee. The sharpened blade assisting in the cleaving should it land. Asuka would soon find her blows off-putting, and Kazura would not play with her opponent. That silk had been hard to cut, her outfit was likely the same. Sui would need to be the one to cut her, but Sui needed time. Kazura would pressure the taijutsu user in the meanwhile with a series of odd angled slashes, keeping a high tempo to her swings, but there was no real rhythm.

    If Asuka continued her assault solely onto Sui, Kazura would throw the still held kunai in a sense of walling the girl as they headed directly to impale the back of her knees as she would turn from Kazura and head for Sui. The Kunai gaining a burst of movement no matter their landing point being a hit or not, but they would not matter. As they approached the girl Kazura would release her blade and form the snake seal. With precise timing setting off the paper tags to go off on the sides of the girl. Hoping to catch her in the explosion Collective 8 meters of explosion. Her blade would be retrieved after, and readied again for a fight.

[Asuka Waruichi]

With Asuka having landed the successful blow her momentum would shift in the air slightly. Sui seemed to be reeling time to go for a killing blow however if there was anything she’d learned it’s that she’d need to check her opponents in battle she saw the clone that was beside her and would pull out a kunai and feign as if she were going to attack Kazura however instead during her turn she’d throw the Kunai down at Sui, as a means of testing her reaction. Afterwards she’d ready a seal and after landing on the ground the youth would body flicker her way up onto a wall above and slighty behind Sui.

The moment her feet touched the surface she would then form a quick hand seal and would turn invisible her bandages concealing her entire body. From there she bided her time waiting for a reaction. She took this brief moment to regroup hoping her jutsu rendered her impossible to see. Asuka didn't have much in the way of long range. But at the same the youth didn’t always need to go on the offense

And whilst her opponent could fight her from range she had the speed advantage but she needed to think. There were two opponents and it was far better for her to engage in a fight with the one closest to her. She needed to control the battlefield and relinquish it from her. Asuka was fast and strong enough to end this battle quickly but since she had more than one opponent to deal with the situation had now become far more paramount.

"I don’t know what kind of shadow clone that is, but it’s moving and acting on it’s own...Interesting?" Asuka would examine the blood on the ground. "Either way she’s hurting, if I can keep up the pressure, then perhaps I can clinch this.” she’d look down at her foe. "Suikazura-chan, you are something special.”

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
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. The hand seal for this technique must be held until the shinobi reaches their destination, making it impossible to utilize other techniques regardless of any preparation.

[Suikazura]

Sui

    Pain throbbed across the girl, and as she would attempt to catch her breath, a kunai would come flying for her. She was pained, but not out, not yet. Performing a hand seal she would force her body to move and as she did Sui would body flicker herself. Going a distance away to the far side of the center rock, here she would clench her right hand open and closed, pulling forth a blood pill, covering her need to cough by muffling herself as she went to draw air, swallowing the pill shortly after. She was not quite safe yet though, she needed time to cover her breath. It wouldn't be too long, Kazura was still up and moving the two could coordinate. Kazura just needed to run distraction for a moment. Just one moment. Taking in her breath she would do her best to gain back control from her throbbing throat. For now she would perform a few hand seals, setting for if she was found. Finally having the ability to do so.

Kazura

    Curdling anger filled the girl as she met air with her swing. She could do this though, moving away from the walled area to the open of the left center in a fluid run, her eyes peeled for any movement, hand readied to throw her kunai bombs at any point. If Asuka showed at all, the girl would immediately throw the kunai in her direction. There was no more niceties, her throws now aimed directly to the other girl's exposed head or legs. She would not be idle in that though, she would toss her sword during her run and swiftly pull forth her other trump card item. Kakuyu, small beads they looked like, though only a glint of metal would reveal them from a distance as being pulled. The seal would open and she would pull five into her right hand. Throwing these as well on site of Asuka. She didn't care anymore if she was caught in the blast range, she would not let the girl approach her, or Sui. A stalemate for but a moment as they recouped. A plan set in motion.

[Asuka Waruichi]

As Asuka stood along the wall in her camouflage she noticed the two girls out in the distance seemingly setting up for some sort of plan in some way shape or form. But what it was she didnt know. The youth stood on the edge of the wall and took time to think. It didn’t seem as if Sui or Kazura had been privy to her location just yet. She stopped to meditate.

"So there are two of them and one is injured, while the other is hunting me down.The only way I can survive this situation is to dispatch one of them.” She’d look out at spot Kazura who seemed rather upset, using a small amount of chakra, Asuka would move her hands and craft a hand-seal and suddenly a second Asuka would drop down on the battlefield and charge onto the field whilst the original Asuka watched hidden from her perch.

She had no clue what the two were planning but she wasn’t about to charge in head first in a two on one situation she needed to form some sort of distraction perhaps the clone could provide a brief respite, she wasn’t able to move so long as she was within this camouflage and couldn’t keep it up forever but she needed to do something and fast.

NOTES: Here!

[Suikazura]

Sui

    A clone? Was she stupid? You didn't reveal your place like that, but she would not take to many actions in the moment. She needed to catch herself, the pain beginning to throb less slightly. The girl's breathe returning a bit even with the chest pain. Something was definitely broken, but she was not done yet. Kazura would take care of the issue now. She could feel the blood pill helping on the bleeding side, it was not the best for internal injury, but it was a minor healing agent all the same. She would continue to stay out of the way. Having glanced to her other half, what was coming would be... explosive. Getting further behind the rock to cover herself from the hail fire.

Kazura

    As if on queue, Kazura would immediately notice the clone's appearance and recognize it. The smoke puff, the lack of a shadow, and the hiding coward she wanted to hurt near her. Clenching her right hand she would toss the kakukyu high and fast towards the wall that Asuka had had her clone originate from. Small shiny rocks of metal. Beads almost still, they looked out of place as the approached spread out in just a wide enough area for what came next. Her kunai had no real target, but delaying their throw they would fly true, reach the wall nearly to the same time as the kakukyu thanks to the additive burst of speed. But they would never connect the the wall. A rage showing on her face a single hand seal formed 'Snake'. A almost inaudible hiss and then the paperbombs on the kunai would ignite, exploding outwards. The force of the bombs catching the kakukyu forcing them to explode as well, barely in range for the shrapnel blast that came from five kakukyu igniting out of force.

    Kazura would be fast to clench her left hand and summon another item into her closed hand, jumping backwards as shrapnel would begin to reach out to her in its haste. Her right hand travelling behind her to poof a sword from another seal in a short span. Careful not to approach further, weapons now in hand again.

NAME:Kakukyu [[[Explosive Pellets]]]
RANK: C
CLASSIFICATION: Offensive
ELEMENT:
OWNER: Iwagakure
DESCRIPTION:
The Explosion Corps have continued making strides in explosive technology. "Kakukyu" are small, silver colored spheres of metal, only about half an inch in diameter. They are made up of medium alloy carbon steel and are hollowed out on the inside, then filled with clay and nitroglycerin
ABILITIES:
[explosion]: The explosions are extremely small, infact creating a fiery burst of only about two square feet. Upon explosion, however, the metal is broken up and can project up to 30 meters in each direction, often piercing any object in a five meter radius. While exploding tags and the like explode via detonation, these balls explode only on direct heavy impact, making them suitable as mines, or projectiles.

Kaze no Youni Kunai set off finally.

[Asuka Waruichi]

Asuka who had been awaiting a reaction to the girl noticed the small pellets with that the youth to leapt off of the wall in the opposite direction in which she saw the small pellets using her speed to her advantage. In the process of her leap an explosion would ring out and she'd add a burst of chakra to her thrust causing her to cover a considerable distance with two bursts. This would place the youth near one of the rocks on the center side of the field. Unfortunately however due to the shrapnel being rather potent Asuka was left with a gash along her upper back that stung quite a bit not enough to fully hinder her but enough that she could feel it.

Behind she'd hear a massive explosion ring out but would do her best to keep focus and not gawk. As she neared the ground In order to adjust herself to land the youth would turn her body using her fuuton aided momentum in the process. As she readjusted herself to land on the ground with her feet, she’d stop her momentum, spotting Sui in her peripherals just as her foot hit the ground. In that instant once she felt her feet touchdown, Asuka would move into her top speed in seconds and close the distance as a rapid pace.

Asuka eyes had a shadowy look about them and once she had closed the distance the youth would attempt rain down a barrage of powerful punches aiming for her chest and throat just as she had done before. Her steel tempered limbs would smash into her bones like an I-beam to wood as she continued her onslaught. Her sequence would be unrelenting in it’s ferocity the girl awakening that killer intent she usually reserved for rather dire situations which this was quickly becoming. Asuka needed to make certain that her opponent would stay down and as such the youth would begin attack without letting up in the slightest. With her throat and and ribs having been damaged a great deal earlier on, going after them once again would surely bring her down.

Movement Techs:

NAME: Hachidori no Odori [Dance of the Hummingbird]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low - Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: Fūton
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
Hachidori no Odori is a simple taijutsu technique used to maneuver mid-jump by releasing a burst of fuuton chakra from the body opposite the direction you wish to dodge allowing limited directional control mid-air and with enough force allowing the user to perform a double-jump of sorts.

NAME: Gensoku Suru [Decelerate]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
The opposite to accelerate, decelerate effectively allows the user to instantly disperse all their momentum and stop on a dime as it were. This technique however can only be used for movement and the user must be touching the ground. This can not stop the user from taking damage from a fall nor can it stop their movement when being hit from an attack.

NAME: Kasoku Suru [Accelerate]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
A very simple technique, by using chakra the user is able to instantly accelerate their selves to their max speed. This can be done in just about any condition, but any techniques that slow the user's movement (such as armor from jutsu or most jutsu that might slow an individual) will still affect them.

Second series of Attacks Aimed at the body:

NAME: Tekken: Kaminoyari [Iron Fist: God Spear]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
