[Suikazura]

Suikazura

The last fight had ended up being a failure, but not a flunking grade. Agitating. She had been confidant in her victory had she just been given more time, but that was not going to be the case with the last match. Having left the field only half of her had been able to watch the matches, but that was more than enough to see what little she had been able to. Dead pine trees. It was absurd, but it was certainly not something she was going to run from. If he wanted to throw over-sized tinder at her, she would just need to keep distance from the boy. Assuming she could anyways, assuming had been the worst idea of her day. She didn't have much in the way of things for people that used so much brute force, Kazu had been her only experience there, and he was far from a reliable one apparently.

As she was called though she would sigh, having to keep her staff locked away still was a pain for certain. If he was just burning everything a wooden weapon was not the way to go about him. She would continue to ponder. It would be useful she guessed. Water normally trounced fire. But a sword should also be able to cut a limb, yet yesterday Sui had been wrapped in silk instead. It was a gross way to be logical over this. So she wouldn't be, too many factors, too many unknowns, too much of the things she loathed deeply.

Walking upon the stage she would carry her blade in hand, and where a smile on her face, not something normal for the girl, but she would endure anything if it could help her. She had to loosen up if she wanted to really shine. She had not done Iwagakure any services yesterday, and here she was facing with another opponent she knew little of. His full capabilities entirely unknown to her. She would need to scope him more. As she get to a comfortable distance away to begin she would ready herself.

"Hana, Suikazura. I gladly take this privilege to meet you in battle in our first meeting, Nakajima Taro." She would say with a smile still upon her face. A habitual need to still greet new shinobi still, before she would take a deep inhale and seemingly puff. Her dead brown eyes staring directly at Taro, the brunette would lower into an odd physical stance. Inklings of a way to stop him present already in her mind.

Taro hadn't really gotten to show off much in his first round, but the konoha shinobi really wasn't built to push his metal. Instead they'd come to a rather sour stalemate, but the Yukigakure shinobi knew the advantage to surprising his opponents. He didn't really show off his clans abilities and he hadn't shown off his true fighting style last battle, so this new challenger would be up for quite the surprise. The tree tactic, it could possibly work, but he'd felt it's ingenuity would be only interesting that first fight.

Excite as his last fight began would show for this fight too, he'd exit his bunker grinning as he had the first fight. This time he'd already have undo the harness holding his four scrolls. He planned to let loose as soon as the fight started, so he'd rather not keep them weighing him down. This opponent didn't seem to be as physically unfit as his last, but he doubted they'd size up to him. That other girl would of been more fun to trade blows, but this girl seemed to have a more interesting tactic.

He'd prepared himself prior to the fight lining one of his scrolls with explosion notes. A strategy laid in his mind, to which he hoped the girl before him had done the same. Though what plan could she have to prepare for the man he was before her. Walking out to the field to face his opponent, he'd be somewhat surprised she'd give a formal greeting. Last fight he'd just called out ready and then they'd gone at it. He couldn't pass up on this opportunity. "Heh.." He hadn't prepared anything, but with a slight blush he'd come to the greeting and taunt in mind.

"The privilege is all mine Suikazura! I've always wanted to try two girls at the same time, Eh-hehehe!" He'd crack himself up with his own vulgar joke, before adding on snidely with a wink. "I hope you're ready for a pounding, because I'm ready." He'd with those words ready himself for action, his eyes locked on to hers for the moment. Though as soon as the match would start he had a different goal, a plan he expected to throw this new opponent off.

Suikazura

Vulgar was a good way to describe this boy off the bat, but her face wouldn't twitch at his comment. You didn't live in the slums and not hear something worse than that comment in nature at least once in a while. She would instead take note of him unharnessing his scrolls as they had been readying for the fight. Awaiting the proctor's call she would put herself into a lowered stance, her left had facing upwards. Off-putting based on her earlier performance, this time she was waiting for movement to come to her. As the proctor would call the fight to begin Suikazura would begin by gauging out her opponent, more than easily ready to shunshin, or unseal something at her need. But her movement would be something that was more offsetting, as she channeled chakra into her palms and waited.

This tournament was yet again something she could absolutely not afford to lose on any pretenses. She had to become Chunin, or else any bad results would result in further failures. A snowball of bad decisions and poor results. That was what she felt on her back. Her chakra focusing to three separate points for this situation. It would all depend on Taro how she reacted. Versatility was a trait one had to gain over time in many cases, but Suika had picked it up early on purpose. It would all just be a momentary waiting game for Taro's scheming. He was an odd boy, and she could definitely tell from his actions in the last fight nothing he did was particularly normal. Waiting here was definitely smarter considering the good distance between them as well.

No blush, no fluster and not even a spit back from the Iwagakure shinobi. Taro momentarily frowned with a pout cheeks still a touch red, it didn't matter to him as it'd of likely had an effect on the crowd. He could feel the Yukigakure facepalms and Iwagakure internal disgust. Lower the bar and then the fight delivery could do all the speaking for him, a boring start to the fight though, as the male expected projectiles and jutsu rained from the girl before him. She'd shown off quite a bit last fight, so maybe she was conserving for this one.

He didn't particularly care though that she didn't react, nor that the start wasn't in a blitz of glory. He'd shown physical prowess and speed in the last fight, so it didn't surprise him she'd not want to engage immediately. She wasn't dumb for avoiding close quarters combat, but he wasn't planning on engaging that way either. He needed to keep things plain to what'd happen previously. Well that was until he blocked the vision of the fellow contestants, he'd want to go all out in this fight or the last. So, he needed to keep his style somewhat a secret, then he'd show it off. Dazzle the Yuki Lady and prove his merit in the clan.

Taro span around to face the wall behind him as quickly as possible, his hands releasing grip on the harness. An act done to release the four scrolls from his back and restrain. However his hands immediately reached behind him to retrieve one of the scrolls. Specifically the one he'd modified and taking it into his hands, he'd sprint with the object held over his head. His path wasn't directly straight to avoid easily targeting him with ranged hear, his head glancing left and right. An attempt to keep in front and behind him in his peripheral.

The dropped scrolls would fall upon each other and with the force of his spin proceed to roll towards the Iwagakure shinobi. It'd roll to or past the shinobi's position, but not at any alarming rate. Perhaps an obstacle to travel over or maybe a set of trapped scrolls. It'd certainly seem the scroll over his head was more important than those abandoned. That or he planned to make the shinobi think so.

She moved as soon as he had, following behind him not entirely but enough to kick the scrolls to a stop before they unfurled too far. She would take his toys though that much was to her liking, as he had started to run away she had already begun to prepare the multitudes of seals on her stomach for the incoming objects, she has thought would be coming. The seals were almost barren when one considered how many the girl had coating her body. A living scroll, and not even one who seemed focused upon the usage of other fuinjutsu, the breastplate she had worn, as always would not keep her from what she was planning as she crouched to the first of the three scrolls rolling it up to her stomach. Drawing it into the seals on her chest if left unattended for more than a moment as the scroll would be taken. If Taro wanted to run she would continue to do the same for the other two. If he approached she would jump into a ready stance to utilize any of her skills necessary. Range, Distance, Necessity, priorities were beginning to form in her mind as she would pull the item into one of the seals on her body, completely filling it, but there was plenty more space to contend upon her body. The scrolls would be shortly sealed entirely if Taro didn't want to react.

Her eyes strictly locked to Taro she was waiting for action. He didn't seem the type to like idle competition. She would continue to watch as she moved one scroll to the next, if she could eyes peeled for the boy and anything he aimed to do.

NAME: Karada Fuinjutsu [Body Sealing Technique]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Fūinjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
An upgrade to the Hikin Fuinjutsu [Generic Sealing Technique], the user creates a seal on their own skin for which a multitude of objects can be stored. If cast on the user themselves, the seals become reactive to the body's own chakra, and it becomes more difficult for others to forcibly draw items from the seal. The closer the mark is made to the center of one's chakra coil, at the pit of their gut, the stronger this protection becomes.

Directly attuned to the user's chakra, seals take up half the space they ordinarily would. And in the case of it being sealed on the user, items can be released via small chakra burst rather than touch.

No attempt to cut him off and there'd be nothing to slow him down. He wasn't quite his fastest with the scroll in hand, but it was one of four so he was definitely faster than most his rank. Unyielding Taro would be at the wall by the time Suikazura was at his scrolls. Up the wall he'd start by the time she was sealing away his first scroll. Her plan would be to seal away them all while he ignored her, it'd work quite well in his favor, as he'd spin his body around whilst scaling the wall.

Chucking the scroll in hand with all his force to the sky above the field and Suikazura, he'd perform a single hand seal while looking down across the battlefield. Multiple explosion tags setting off across the scroll he'd thrown into the air, it'd be torn to shreds in the explosion and with it all the seals within it would break. A full inventory of a massive scroll simply unloading onto the battlefield. The explosion forcing a spread of the falling pieces, but the inventory was twenty five chopped and dead tree's.

The shear mass each took up would further push them apart and cause them to rain down sporadically across the battlefield. A vicious mist of pelting down pine tree needles, as the explosion would more than likely start some of the tree's on fire. A rain of tree's, needles and fire erupting upon the battlefield to create pure and utter chaos. It'd suck to lose one of his scrolls to the other shinobi, especially the scroll he saw his opponent take. It'd however be a necessary loss to have his plan completed.

Taro would love to see the girls reaction to this attack. It felt like something that'd be incredibly disorientating. A perfect opportunity to jump the girl and scare her panties off. Pinching his chin he could only chuckle grinning at his own childish and perverted sense of humor.

Insane. It was beautiful to her in a way though. As she had finished sealing away the boy's massive scroll she had watched him find his footing on the wall and chunk up the scroll. She had would watch it up, but her eyes would stick to Taro. You didn't trick a paper bomb user with a snake seal to set them off. Her attention going back to the scroll she would watch as a mass of seals would be ripped open and in it she would see timber burn and crumble from the air as it would fall across the battlefield. He was cheeky after all, hot blooded fool he was indeed. Getting back into a crouch she would form a singular hand seal and dissipate for a moment as she shot backwards towards the far wall using the Body Flicker Technique. It was not all though, there was too much timber to simply run away. Her eyes up to the incoming chaos she would be quick to rotate as a tree feel close enough that its flames could sting on her.

The battlefield had become entirely his at this point, molded in flame and burning timber, it was warm now though, she could appreciate that. A quick continuation back to the wall she would begin to scale it quickly having avoided the majority of the incident at its main point of issue, but the entire arena was chaos now, she would realize at this point that her vision had been of Taro for far too long. Having had to pay attention to the amount of new information that the battlefield was littered in. How many papers bombs had he just used? She couldn't tell. Forming a few more quick hand signs she would prepare for the boy to appear.

One Tech Prepared.

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] [1/4]
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, compounding in exertion and difficulty each time. with 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: Kuikkurōtēshon [Quick Rotation]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
DESCRIPTION:
Utilizing chakra in the feet, ankles and legs specifically. It is a small amount of energy, but used precisely on reflexes and timing. This technique is gauged this way. When timed, the user can twist themselves abruptly out of the way of an attack. Like a speedy side-step, but a rotation of one's body to the side. A spin-move. This is only attacks in an immediate vicinity(three meters) anything else is too big an attack. Usually Taijutsu, but sometimes this technique is effective against close-range ninjutsu.

Taro had turned his attention to the battlefield, so when Suikazura used the body flicker technique it'd be known. His eyes widening a moment to try to capture everything, but he'd not see the girl immediately appear again. She was either using rocks to cover her position or she'd moved to the walls too. He couldn't see through or around rocks though, so he'd glance up, before considering looking side to side or behind. At the far end of the arena he'd spot the other contestant, it was a wise repositioning, but nothing he didn't mind going after.

Scanning the newly summoned forest, as it'd fall onto the field he'd mentally plan out a route. Jumping into the chaos as it was occuring, he'd be hidden by the recently created burning cover. Darting immediately to one of the scrolls not taken, he'd scope it up with both hands as he'd wildly charge through the natural disaster he'd created. The fire didn't concern him, it'd heal him more than hinder. As all of it was natural flame, at least for the purposes of his clan's ability to work. This was the place he wanted to fight Suikazura.

He could assume she'd not join him in the fun land he'd made, but he could certainly force her into the terrain. Using near the full momentum of his speed he'd rush to the other side of the arena in the cover of tree's. Charging up the wall hugging likely now his last scroll, as the other one was certainly lost to the tree's and flames. Too much time now passed to even assume Suikazura was still where he'd seen her, but certainly the only logical place he could assume her to stand with what knowledge he'd gained.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Suika, much like Taro would find when he got there had long ran into the terrain he had not expected. Having ingrained the fiery timber battlefield into her head she would begin to turn the place into a nightmare for the boy as much as she could. Having slipped further north into the flames she would unseal a spar set of her shirt from her winter clothing she had brought. A pervert would be a pervert and having leaped head first into the field she would not be visible entirely in the smog and flames either, running the cloth on fire as she would pass it and tearing other seams to make them look highly tattered. She would pad out the clothes before the fire got seriously bad quickly and leave it on a piece of timber. A trail for him to imagine.

She would do the same shortly with a pair of pants from her inventory. Nearing the furthest north rock she would set her trap. Setting the clothing in disarray on the ground leading behind the rock from where she would stand paper tags she had summoned during her travel over lining the pockets of the slightly charred pants. Forming three more hand signs she would lay quietly in one of the pine trees, taking shape into a broken trunk in an area where the fire was not quite heavy at all.

Before enacting her technique Suikazura worked up the absolute best cry she had in her, having worn masks in front of many a person it was not hard to let out a shrill cry of distress. An enticing call to someone like Taro who seemed to see her as a plaything in her mind.

"KYAAAAAA!"

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]

ELEMENT: None

HANDSEALS: 3

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.

Taro wasn't pleased at all to find his travel meaningless. Well she wasn't a corward was what it proved, but then again he had seen that other girl hide. It'd be pretty hard to blend into the wall he imagined. The angle might make her stick out, so he'd attempt to run around in his area going higher up the wall. Scroll under one arm as he moved, but then a sound would be heard. It was the squeal of his opponent, he recognized the tone from her interaction.

An almost shiver went down his spine, as a momentary panicked sweat drop dripped off his forehead. He didn't feel from the last fight that his opponent was incompetent enough to get trapped in the fiery display. On the other hand it was a sound which came from deeper into his woods, it was an alarm and scare call from a potential maiden in distress. His grin completely gone, as his head would lower. If she died in the flames of his technique, then he'd won the fight. Stand there and wait for her doom.

Hopefully a proctor would intervene. He clenched his fist unable to simply let someone die by an accident, it seemed so wrong it made his gut churn. Jumping off the wall, he'd proceed to hop from tree top to tree top. Most would of been rooted in a manner to some degree, after all the trunks were the heaviest part. The tree's heavy enough to dig themselves into the ground on most cases. He'd have a vantage point, but as he'd proceed to the sounds origin. He'd notice torn and burnt clothing.

It didn't help anything the idea she might of had her clothes burnt off. A distracting image of the girl popping into his head, as he'd blush deeply a drop of red spilling from his right nostril. "Stupid, stupid, stupid..." He'd mutter to himself, as he'd further hop to the direction of the sound. Finding a clearing closest to where he thought the sound origined, he'd jump around tree tops frantically looking for her.

Cupping his hands around his mouth like a speaker, he'd proceed to yell out into the oven made arena. "SUIKAZURA!?" He'd call out for the girl, worried she'd gotten herself pinned out of sight.

He had taken the bait over, but he was not approaching. That would be a problem, she could wait all day at this rate, but the time until the proctor would call the match? This plan had been a dud. In a short puff of smoke she would glare over at Taro as she hopped to her feet. She was pouting over her plan not having pulled him all the way over, but she wasn't about to go and take it lying down. Clenching and unclenching her left hand as she hopped up she would summon a smoke bomb to her hand. Giving the boy an evil stare, "You were supposed to take the bait all the way over you jerk! Stupid."

Dropping her smoke bomb in an instant after her reply she would evade back into the smog and fire of the burning chaos of the field. Navigating rather well from inside the flames. Calling to her hand a long blade, she would form a few seals and furrow her brow. She hadn't shown any flinching earlier, but he had obviously bothered her, or rather, she had taken him for a bit more of a pig than he was. Either way she was evading into his playground of fire and smoke. There was more than enough for it all to burn over an hour long, so she would take her time in leading him around. Failed plans could still be reused. She could round him back to the bombs, but before that a physical confrontation was gonna be necessary. In a narrow passage of timber, she would crouch inside the thin smog to see the outline of the boy, awaiting his approach with open eyes and open ears. A thin shimmer running along her blade. The bets were off now, it was time to focus a bit. If she couldn't handle it alone she could do anything as two. But that would come next.

If he was dumb enough to attempt to fight her in the narrow passage a quick two slices would come for the boy from out of the thin cover of smog she was hiding in. The first slash aiming for his arms, and the second going for the legs. A surprise attack into another surprise. One trick to the next, ideal problems rarely came and ideal solutions were rarely strict in their setting. It would be all fun from here, she was looking forward to his approach.

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.

Taro couldn't help giving a slight jump as the other genin would reveal themselves in a poof. Calling out to him with a clear sense of annoyance, but it'd be a mutual feeling. A vein bulging in typical anime frustration, as the boy gritted his teeth with a huff from his nose. "Idiot! You were supposed to be in trouble!" He'd retort loudly in equal frustration and embarrassment. It'd be in this short exchange, he'd momentarily miss placed himself. The awkward realization that this was a fight and his target was turning tail and running from his position.

He'd prepare himself to chase after her, as he'd use the same means of travel as he'd done to get there. Though he'd realize something in her words, when he'd hop to the next tree. An evil grin prospering, as he'd gain a further appreciation for his opponent. Perhaps to some this was stooping to level to trap him, but here she was attempting to trap him. She hadn't once attempt to engage him directly, so his strength wasn't being under estimated. It sucked to a degree, as it'd deny him any progress in the point department, but it also meant she feared the impeding collision.

She knew him to well without really knowing him, she must of really observed his last fight. He needed to trick her though, so he'd choose to sacrifice chakra to the cause. Forming a single handseal, as he'd inhale before hopping to another tree. His teeth shifting into flame, as he'd begin to let out a bullet stream of fire balls. Chasing after the stone kunoichi, as he'd direct his fire left to right of his opponent. What fire had been spreading wasn't quick enough, it was time to turn this arena into an inferno.

Once the girl ran herself into a narrow passage of sorts, he'd redirect his aim and attempt to hit her directly. The speed at which his jutsu fired projectiles would make blocking hard and redirecting the attack for dodges easy. The jutsu lacked much in offensive nature, but it could be distracting and with the dry cold air and burning timbers all around. Maybe just maybe he could scorch her outfit, thus turn her fake out for a trap into a reality.

Suikazura

Jerk. Jerk. Jerk. She would run in between smog and smog, but it didn't do much as she hopped around the burning battlefield, his technique was landing around her erratically. She had managed to reach the narrow passage as she had been hoping to reach the narrow passage she had wanted to reach. As a spitfire ball would land on her cheek, a instantaneous moment of pain it would look like would be replaced by the sight of a burning log from the broken timber. Having prepared a substitute just a bit before she was freed of her position and forced towards the backside of one of the rocks. If all went well she could work from here. Out of sight for a moment as her opponent would hopefully be disoriented, she would take a moment to focus on her left hand seal and release the key to her success. A small ball, she would conceal it for now. Staking her sword she would perform the hand signs and summon a regular clone. A distraction to pull him towards her hopefully.

Gripping the small ball in her hand she had to make this one work. It was a playground of chaos and it was slowly getting hotter as he incited the inferno to grow. Before long she would be forced to the walls of the arena, maybe that was best by the point? She couldn't tell. Readying her arms Suikazura would split into two identical twins.

Sui taking the sword in her hand dropping the fake bomb and would begin running outwards. With the distortion of the battlefield it would be hard to tell if she had split or not, especially as she had concealed herself. Sword in hand Sui would look over to Taro and stick out her tongue, her left hand pulling down her eyelid to taunt him wordlessly. Travelling just a bit away from the rock she had stayed behind before splitting. Just a bit. That was all Suika would need was for him to approach within a short distance.

Charging a bit of chakra into the ball, the instance that Kazura could see Taro she would throw the small ball with all she had at his feet. Sui would know what to expect, but would the boy as he was so obviously being taunted in by the girl. Would he chicken out from the taunt? She was normally the silent fighter, but if it meant victory talking could prove a necessity.

"Come on Taro, we should get to the real fight shouldn't we? Its rude to keep a lady waiting you know!" Sui would say loudly, to Ryoko if she could hear, the sound of sarcasm to her voice an open mock to her teammate who had not been taking the fights seriously neither today nor yesterday. But the message would be clear for Taro. If only he was man enough to take the challenge.

Prepared Kawarimi

NAME: Kawarimi no Jutsu [Body Replacement Technique]
RANK: E
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 5
DESCRIPTION:
After performing the necessary hand seals (one post prior to the technique's use) and locating a nearby object within a 10 meter radius (typically a log or something of similar size to their body.), the user switches places with the said object just before an attack lands, creating an optical illusion. During the small interval where they have left their opponent surprised, they may take the time to attack or flee.

NAME: Heki no Jutsu [Splitting Technique]
OWNERS: Hana Suikazura | Open
TRAINED: -- | --
RANK: A
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [Generalized]
REQUIREMENT: Iwagakure Shinobi Only
ELEMENT: N/a
DESCRIPTION:
This technique allows the user to literally split their whole self into two identical yet entirely independent duplicates; achieved by splitting the core of their chakra directly in half. Requiring no handseals, the user can will a near instant split of themselves that forms similar to that of a clone. Though unlike the Clone Techniques that only appear to be similar to the user, this duplicate is made out of both the physical and spiritual chakra which makes one half essentially no different than the other. These two halves can reform into one at the will of the user, though requires contact to merge chakra cores once more.

This also means that even if one is incapacitated, the other remains completely unaffected and as neither can truly be regarded as the original, the duplicates cannot be dispelled like normal clones. However, while split, the user's chakra is halved and as such they are unable to use more complex techniques such as Kekkai Tota or S rank techniques.

Upon one half of the split being killed, the user is capable of replenishing their chakra supply over a period of time. A long and grueling process to be built back up, but possible with dedicated care put towards healing and rejuvenation. [OOCly 3 Months minimum since the Death. At least 4 Dedicated threads towards recuperation.]

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.

[Yoshiko]

Taro had mentally put the pieces together earlier. He was absolutely by no means an idiot, at least not enough to get suspicious about things happening. She'd continue to in his eyes evade combat entirely, but then again he hadn't been all out charging her. He felt the play by play was rather logical though, she was likely worried about his taijutsu and he'd been setting the field to his advantage. At this point the bunkers couldn't see and the crowd mostly saw him tree hopping or when both of them were at the walls. It was likely a disappointing chuunin exams to those civilians who didn't appreciate the finer edict of battle.

Expecting the worst, he'd break the flow of his jutsu, but not the placement of his hands. His target was gone, but it'd only be momentarily. As she'd pop up from a nearby rock set in the arena. Her taunt was quite the flattering way to draw him in, he'd guess from their distance. He could make it to her, before she could make it to the earlier scene he chased her away. It was time to give up on looking for the best approach, he'd as far as he was concerned given her the time to show something new. To no avail, it was time to beat out the things he'd spotted. Chasing after her without a hesitation.

He wouldn't be surprised if there were traps, so he was keeping his eyes peeled to the surroundings as well. It'd allow him to spot Kazura whipping an item for his location. 'Ah, she's gone twin mode now!' He'd think gloriously to himself, as he was disappointed it'd taken so long to lure out this girls jutsu. He could only pray with all his heart that this was in fact the tangible being he spotted last stage. Tiger cats! Tiger cats! Hoe!!! His spitfire was a very common seal, as redirecting his chakra he'd apply the tiger seal to his advantage not once but twice. Vanishing as the item was thrown, he'd body flicker behind Kazura. Keeping the tiger seal made, he'd once again just redirect his chakra, as he'd jab into the girls buttocks and use all his strength to send her flying.

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, compounding in exertion and difficulty each time. with 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

Sui had watched him charge and had started to move chakra into her palm as he had gotten close. Kazura like clockwork had released the bomb as the boy would flicker out of sight, but Sui would stick to the plan. Closing her eyes for just an instant as a bright flash would envelope two of the genin. Taro hopefully being caught in the searing flash would find himself blinded while Sui would only have a set of dark splotches to her vision from preemptively turning her head eyes closed to avert it. The flash being a small instance though, Sui would open her eyes looking for Kazura, but only find Taro. A surge of adrenaline would set in as she would quickly spring to the boy, a palm out-stretching to slap his face. If he was blinded as she hoped and it connected a small surge of chakra would rush his system paralyzing him. To which Sui would immediately Twist the sword to its blunt end and channeling chakra into the butt of the hilt in her hand to face away from the boy. Moving her arm in the motion of a Iai Beheading she would aim the strike precisely to his temple in a short time. Enough force to hopefully knock him unconscious if she was lucky to have completed her process using the butt of the sword.

Kazura

The boy had been in her vision. She had thrown the bomb, but he would get in place first. A pressure upon her lower back and then she was in the air from a painfully sudden jolt of being lifted by the butt. It was embarrassing for the more emotionally attached of the two which would prompt her to fumble for a moment to get angry. At that moment into the air, the bomb would hit. She would on look the bomb from her position in the air, as she would notice the position of her duplicate and Taro. She would go flying for a moment longer, turning to hopefully see Taro dropping from the blunt force trauma Sui had just delivered before she would land on the far side of some burning timber. Barely over passing the log. Pulling another ball from her inventory she would begin moving back in. Able to recover from the first bit of pain and discomfort she had had in the entire fight. She would begin to form the necessary two seals for one of her best suiton techniques.
