[Yoshiko]

Yukigakure's remaining genin in these exams would perform a rather impressive move. A feat which the duo he was facing would attempt to thwart through trickery. A flash bomb was chosen as the object of his demise, but Shunshin was in an instance and what would be an explosion of bright light and sound would be a background to Taro. It'd either gone off while his back was turned or when Kazura's behind worked as his cover.

Fluidly trained in the art of close quarters combat, he wasn't unaware of his situation. He knew the opposition of Sui was inevitable, his right eye darting to look at her. A sweeping blow from her hand aimed to his face, but with a snicker and crackle the snow shinobi would seemingly vanish. His body starting from his head down would shift into fire, as though he'd used a fire substitution technique or she'd hit a fire clone. It'd be neither though. Taro timed his cremation purposely to make it seem like her slap broke him.

The newly created flame would wisp away from the hand and immediate strike range of the sword. However it wouldn't vanish, but instead it'd seem to pick back up. As though gas visible gas was filling a clear container, a grinning Taro would once again appear. Spun around to face the split of the girl, but now he'd be pushing off the earth and spring to hug her lower abdomen. His lowered stance made it all the easier to leap out, but more would be at work to speed him through. As his feet would once again shift to fire and rocket him forward to make the leap all the harder to dodge.

If successful in this surprise hug, he'd clap his hands together to form another single seal. Amplifying his combustion step, an attack he already executed with double the pushing force. Taro would attempt to rock tackle the stone shinobi, zooming her through burning branches and straight into a stone wall if possible. His arms might of been pinned momentarily, but he could shift them to fire and with all the natural flames around. He was certain he could heal off any damage done in the process.

NAME: Haini no Jutsu | Cremation Technique (Embodiment)
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
DESCRIPTION:
The hiijutsu of the Nakajima clan. This technique allows the user to turn their body into living fire, making them immune to physical attacks. Every inch of the users body becomes fire, or if they prefer just one part. The user is able to absorb natural fire, not created with chakra, to heal themselves and restore chakra. The drawbacks to this technique being that it limits the user to using only Katon or non-elemental jutsus. It also makes the user more susceptible to Fuuton jutsu, which feeds the fire and forces the user to burn through their chakra, with powerful Fuuton attacks causing the body to detonate and expel a massive amount of chakra.

NAME: Haini: Nenshō Ippo [Cremation: Combustion Step]
RANK: C-Rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Low [Low to maintain]
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Haini no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION:
Through partial cremation the user will turn both their feet into fire, as well as a most of their lower legs. The fire will be directed downwards, pushing in whatever direction the leg points. The force of this push is enough to give the user lift enough to slow a fall and hover a few inches of the ground with heat.

NAME: Haini: Nenshō Haretsu Ippo [Cremation: Combustion Bursting Step]
RANK: C-Rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Low [Low to Maintain]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 1
REQUIREMENT: Haini no Jutsu & Haini: Nenshō Ippo
DESCRIPTION:
A technique which amplifies the burst of flame from combustion step, this increases the propulsion of the first jutsu. Not only allowing the shinobi to maintain off the ground, but also allowing them to freely rise up higher at a moderate pace. This technique can also boost sideways momentum or greatly boost a downward dive bomb. The chakra cost of this technique stacks with the combustion step.

Sui

A glimpse of a touch, but not truly the worst. Sui would notice the oddity of caught air as she would recoil a step and ready herself. Taro would appear before her again though, and in an instance of exchanging blows he would enter the territory Suikazura had most been prepared for. Melee. She had been no slacker in combat, but dodging wasn't always necessary to break someone. Sometimes the solution would lie in the opposite. Taking a blow would always be better, and in the instance that he would charge her frustration would die to a cold calm, as she focused solely to Taro. His speed was not something she could match, but as he would find she was almost willing to be taken. A interlock of bodies as he grabbed hold. Finding no resistance as he would blast forward with them both. Preparing herself she would reel back her leg before take off, a hand would be lowered onto the back of his head from where he had grabbed her as a jolt of chakra would shock his system.

A moment of cut off from his ability to mold, a disruption unlike many others that would fully revert his body for an instance. A brief instance was more than enough to Sui as her leg would fly out from their positions his oddly tucked body from where it was in range as she would quickly reach for knee to his face, her hand gripping the back of his head as she did, further paining the boy as she would bring her hilt of a sword down directly on the back of his skull crushing his face back to her knee as it had just barely distanced from his nose. And then as if she had not already struck the hilt of her blade would once again move to jar his brain from the maneuver. As they would freely fly for a moment through the air. His oddly positioned grip being the saving grace as they would hopefully land back in near the same situation. Though she was hoping to knock him out truly.

Kazura

The situation was not exactly to Kazura's liking, but Sui and her had seen too much taijutsu to truly recount themselves as anything less than well-acquainted with the rushing of tai soles and the more physically imposing to this point. This was the second day her opponent had simply rushed her, tricks or not. And she was beginning to become annoyed by it. Taking a deep inhale she would look for where the two were heading and see a blaze. In short work the girl would unless a large torrent of liquid onto the fire, releasing heavy plumes of smoke as she would twist to work on the surrounding fires. Taro and Sui would be covered in smoke as they finally landed the nearby fires having been squandered by the high volume suiton ninjutsu, completely trumping out the natural flame that were nearby. From here she would summon an object to hand.

CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
DESCRIPTION:
Kanashibari no Jutsu is an advanced Ninjutsu technique used to temporarily bind an individual or animal by stunning them with one's own chakra after making physical contact. This technique is a single and time coordinated burst that must result in the user striking out and making contact with the target. A success will result in the target person frozen in place for no longer than a moment, the user can either take the opportunity to attack or to retreat. Someone with superior strength can overcome the bind of the jutsu, and so does pain.

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.

Having rocketed into his tackle, he'd of given the Iwagakure shinobi little time to dodge or react. That would possibly be the reason for his moves success, he didn't really expect the kunoichi to have a means to dismantle his attack. She'd dodge attacks in the past, so she'd of been up to something. Whatever it was though really didn't matter to him, he'd either way push the both of them into roaring flames. A miserable place for the average shinobi, but a wonderland of warmth and regeneration for a Nakajima.

Kazura would be putting out his flames though, if Sui and Taro shared a bed of heated passion. The passion of fire! He could possibly attempt to keep that flame alive with his own body, but that was a giant waste of chakra and totally not his plan. 'I'm going to fly really fast straight into the wall with this kunoichi acting as my helmet.' Those were his thoughts, as in allowing him to embrace her in the tackle, also meant he'd of successfully gotten his enhancement jutsu off. The love rocket would be firing at max capacity. It'd leave little time for action.

Sui would pull her knee up and place her hand down upon Taro. An attempt to surge chakra into him and cast the body paralysis jutsu, but jutsu weren't just touch and go how ever you felt like using them. There was no delivered strike, but instead a cuddly head pat. 'Awhh! She cares about me!' He'd think to himself not realizing the attempt to hit him with her chakra. The attack wasn't delivered properly though and the distance they'd of traveled now was severe to timing. More so the lack of time which his opponent had to react. No way mid fast flight was she landing a whole combo of attacks upon him, even her touch upon his head would of used up some of her time.

The shock of being struck along with it all, he'd fly her straight into concrete full force. Enough to likely crack that wall, as they'd be mid collision, he'd allow his arms to cremate from behind her. Planting his palms against the wall and pushing himself back, as he'd undo the flames at his foot and land to quickly survey the damage of his victim. "Your sisters next..." He'd utter to her quickly sprinting off and cremating into one of the natural fires. Using the trees to cover his shape entirely, as he'd jump tree to tree to get behind Kazura. Taro had seen something similar to the splitting technique in the Nue, he couldn't help questioning if they were a runoff from his village. To him he assumed they were identical sisters from the Nue, it'd of been cheating, but he'd of gladly allowed such a thing for a challenge.

Sui

On one hand the risk she had taken had been calculated quickly in her head, but as she had willed her chakra the force had fizzled from the lack there of. Failing at her risky move, she would rocket to the wall, gripping the back of Taro's head to the point of contact on the wall. Her leg she had brought back originally to attempt kneeing him, finding impact and absorbing some of the shock of the wall as the rest of her body would find itself forcefully crushed into the wall. A breathless cry as she was winded from the blow. A blunt pain as if she had been hit by a stone wall. A pain she knew quite well. Slumping to the ground she would struggle to move for a moment, but would manage a dark smile. She was the un-creative one after all. She was not the one who was worth worrying about in terms of planning.

Kazura

Kazura had not stayed in place in the time that she had set water to the fires the sprocket rocket that had been Sui and Taro had been heading for, but quickly stopped her technique when she saw them dart beyond. A useless effort. Forming a singular hand sign she would have dove just a bit deeper into the smog and timber, in a near instant series of leaps. She came back to a now narrow area of treeline where visibility was just high enough to see her in close proximity since she emitted no form of light. Having released her tools of devastation as she arrived and immediately beginning the quick trap. A Kunai readied for a melee clash, and her village weapons. The kakukyu. In the smog they would be left on the ground, hidden under her foot, making ready to slam her foot on them.

Here in the passage she had chosen there were only two directions to be approached and both required frontal vision, as the passage was narrow and ended with the leaning length of a now broken pine that provided the upper cover. It was a good spot and she would make use of it now more than before even. Stringing a set of hand seals she would set her traps final steps. Taro would have needed time, even with speed to find her in the smog due to the oddly covered narrow passage. Where she would be waiting for him to approach. Having escaped a good distance away to set this during his survey of his damage with Sui. She was ready for the hasty bullet of the boy. That was assured. Timing was, after all, a specialty of hers by extension of the repetition and timing she knew. She was ready for a physical confrontation, at least that was the idea of her visual look.

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.

Taro would moving vicariously through the fire, a flicker of flames here or their as the tree's burned. Each merger allowing him a level of control over that flames path. He'd cause a swirl of flames one tree to the next, zigzagging through the debris with ease. Inevitably he'd find himself a Kazura, but she'd have placed herself in a position he believed was false confidence. There was one clear path to the girl, but he didn't need to take it. Her cover was merely tinder and if it wasn't already burning. The dancing flames around would spread to her position.

He'd move with those encompassing the very tree which covered her. Only emerging enough of his body to punch the girl, he'd emerge specifically from directly behind her. Cremating his hand and charging his chakra into the fist, then with the might of his Nakajima jutsu throw a powerful punch into the girls back. He hadn't a clue her plan and he wasn't too concerned the recourse of her traps. He'd simply endure whatever was to come, as he assumed the trade would be her enduring much more. He'd have to use more of his hijutsu, but it seemed safe. There was likely no one in the bunkers who could see their fight at this point.

An enhanced version of the star striker technique, it's quite literally increasing the chakra in the equation to increase the results delivered. The blow goes from a strike with more force and flare behind it, to a strike which could shatter stone on impact and a burst of flame which could engulf a five meter radius. Similarly to it's original form this techniques after math fire isn't incredibly hot or formidable though. The force of the burst could deflect small projectile like shuriken though.

Kazura

A rapid succession of events to occur from flames to shrapnel. Kazura had not been aware of the dancing flames origin as the fully fire form of Taro as he slunk around to find her. Having focused on her trap she had been fully prepped by the time he had come upon her, seemingly unaware of his attack. It would work in Kazura's favor though as the physical blow of the attack would connect into her back as she arched from the force of the blow. It had not been the sequence past Taro's eyes though as she would substitute out of harm's away as his blow had begun to make contact. The burst of fire rumbling the narrow passage as the log she had substituted from would be absolutely obliterated by the blow. The force created by the flame being more than enough to set off the trap and present she had originally planned for Taro. The kakukyu she had originally hidden being struck by the technique's impact would trigger their internal explosions. Sending shrapnel to fly in the midst of the confusion of the body substitution hopefully. As she would have hoped his vision was focused on her in general and not the abnormal stance she had taken.

Kazura had begun to move immediately upon switching places with the long she had grabbed though, having gone back towards the rock from before she would quickly sprint her way back towards Sui. Huffing from heat, but she was not done yet. She couldn't be put out that easy, and she would plan for as much. Dropping the kunai she would draw two more items from her left palm as she ran and cup one in each hand as she exited the inferno. Making her way to reunite with Sui as fast as she could possibly move. Preparing for the soon to come Taro with the items she had yet again taken to her hand.

Sui

Pain had been the majority of what came to the girl as she had brought herself up from her blow to the wall. It had been different from last time though if only slightly. What hurt most was not her backside, but her lower torso. Likely bruising to her abused organ from the headbutt into the wall, but she could handle this for now. She would not go down from one heavy slam, she had fallen onto solid rock a hundred times, and been hit hard a thousand times. This was just one more to the list, even if it did hurt it was just one more instance. Forcing her body to get back to a steady position Sui would begin to catch herself as Kazura came to view. A series of explosions had sounded in the distance, but this was a different kind of of explosion than a paper bomb, kakukyu shredding into the nearby wood from within the crackling fire.

She had no doubt Taro would come back soon though as she moved to meet Kazura near the base of the wall a little ways right of where she had been hammered into the wall. Readying to react to the coming actions of both Taro and her split. Positioning themselves to cover each other, Sui in the front of a short diagonal near the wall.

5x 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.

Note: Due to the force of the technique being what set them off, the best defense it would offer against the kakukyu is likely a shortening of their full length. As the internal explosion can project them up to 30 meters away though I do not believe the already expended force would stop them from popping towards the partially exposed Taro.

Taro wouldn't be too thrown off by the substitution. It in his mind would be a minor setback, as a substitution didn't move one an amazing distance. She was nearby and he'd be phasing back into his flame when the actual issue emerged. An explosion of that item which she'd thrown previously. It had a blast range greater than his own attack, but it's real danger only lied in a smaller realm than his own jutsu. However already phasing he'd only really be caught up by the push of the blast, as it was what had any chakra backing to it.

The shrapnel however was an interesting prospect, as it's range was greater than the substitution technique. So somewhere a Kazura would be either hit as well, or she'd of picked a location opposite one of the nearby tree's. This meant out of three options only one could see the other and more, it'd be the one going back towards the arena's center. He'd jump to that tree immediately scaling it in his fire form, he'd of picked the right location and using his location he'd strike. A preventative measure so the two Iwagakure shinobi wouldn't reunite.

Rocking off from the tree and back into the physical realm, Taro would dive bomb the girl with one of his other more powerful techniques. If she didn't dodge it'd be as or more devastating than his tackle. If it missed it'd still have the force to crack and disrupt the earth around his landing. Hopefully off putting his opponents standing, as well as certainly cut off her progress to her sister.

CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Haini no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION:
Typically when above the target the user will descend down to strike a point. During the descent the user will have or will suddenly turn their foot into fire with a partial cremation. Bursting the fire upwards to either side of the leg the user will speed up this descent, as the air naturally feeds into the flame at the end of the users leg. Converting the heightened flame back into a foot and dispersing the excess energy into downward motion. This hits with stone shattering force and intensely burns the spot it hits. The potential of this technique increases based on the height of the descent though, so where at a stool height drop would be merely a strong kick, a mile high dive-bomb could create quite the crater. Granted the users body could survive the force themselves.

Kazura

Kazura was an odd child of the two splits when it came to the mind. She had figured her plan would fail to truly take care of the issue, but even in the aftermath of the explosion she had already been on the move. Having substituted to start behind the rock Taro would need a moment all the same to find her. That was all Kazura truly needed to keep moving, she would not blind herself to simply run forward and blind herself to behind. Taro had revealed he could move through the flames. That had meant it was dangerous to fight in his little circle of flame. She needed to further, as she ran though Taro would catch up to her. He had not been slow before, so the brief beginnings of sight of the boy were not anything to her. She could not afford to drop here though. It would appear that today she would be staying separated from her other half. As Taro would come flying out Kazura would form a singular hand sign again and blur from sight into the excessive ground smoke.

Appearing near Sui now, Kazura would take a suffocating breath from the quick jolting run of motion she had just made. It had already been hot, but forcefully body flickering near the limits of one's ability to handle it was a danger that she didn't care for, but one she gladly took. Taro landing would sound his contact with the earth and the girl would immediately prepare for further action. Ragged in her breathing as she was, she was not done. The buzzer had not sounded, and Taro was not downed. Neither was she though, dropping a smoke bomb from next to her split to obscure their exact positioning. Ready to drop the next thing as they now drew for Taro to join them outside his blaze.

Sui

Sui having just gotten to her feet would make a light jolt at the sight of her split, but would recompose near immediately. A smoke screen dropping over the two, Sui would prepare having stepped in front of her duplicate and readying her blade for a fight as Kazura would whisper something to her quickly. Sui would nod in confirmation. The girl would be readied by the time the smoke would clear, if Taro had gone above, Kazura would spot him, if he had gone on the field an instant sweep from Sui would be able to catch onto him and they would call for their own reaction.

As the smoke would eventually clear Sui upon sight of him would drop into a defensive stance in preparation for him to reach the two, if his eyes were on the two he would see her first as Kazura stood nearly against the wall from a slight side step behind Sui. This would hopefully be the finally, no matter how it ended. Sui would absolutely not yield to this Yuki shinobi, especially not this Yuki shinobi. Her blade shimmering as she readied for the incoming clash.

NAME: Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique] [3/4] (Yikers)
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: 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 knock back. 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.

[Yoshiko]

Taro wasn't so easily deceived by the girls vanishing act, he'd know exactly what technique had been used to evade him. It truly didn't matter to him, as he'd use the same technique to almost pursue her. She'd of made the travel first though and by the time he'd found them, they'd already be hidden within a cloud of smoke. The smoke was a double edged sword though, similar to that Kirigakure shinobi's mist. It obscured Taro's vision, but he'd be damned if he didn't notice something jerk our of it.

Performing three hand seals from roughly fifteen meters away, Taro would create multiple birds of flame. Which upon a quick creation would storm the smoke cloud, a vicious attack meant to take on both kunoichi. Hopefully the smoke would of been more than adequate cover for the fire projectiles to rush in and strike completely uncontested. Otherwise he'd simply rush the perimeter of the two girls, his attention less upon either particular girl and instead focused on whether any attack were made at him or at the space he was rushing too. Readying at a moments notice to dodge.

"Don't you know where there's smoke there's fire!" The Yukigakure shinobi would jest aloud in a taunting matter. It'd be spoken just as the fire birds would be storming the smoke. Perhaps a little after, but using shun-shin followed by the fire jutsu left little time to articulate good humor.

HANDSEALS: 3
TRIGGER: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
After three hand-seals, the user will clap their hands together and create a dozen or so small, swallow like birds of fire around them. The birds are then used as projectiles, fired all at once, with a range of twenty meters, which they can cover in five seconds. They can cause serious burns, and disfigurement alone. But together can easily take down a group of shinobi as they will ignite any flammable objects, such as clothes.

It was sheer luck of the draw that he had not seen them prior to the smoke that they were as unscathed as they would be from his jutsu. Both girls being relatively small targets in the grand scheme of the smoke would be hard targets for the almost kunai-sized birds-shaped fireballs that Taro had fired off. Worse so when Taro had all, but warned them of the birds reaching them as the would sink even lower down under the smokescreen while it lasted. Sui feeling the scorch of a wing whiz past her narrowly missing as another would lick on her arm bringing her to wince, Kazura taking the worst as a swallow would sear on the side of her body, forcing her to pad out the fire so that all that was left was the burnt red skin of her flesh. No direct hits were made, but from the twelve, three of the flock had gotten close.

As the smoke would thin and clear they would catch sight of Taro as he would undeniably see them as well. As they became revealed both would give him an cold glare as Sui from the front would follow the plan and step forward to be his main focus Only to draw his eyes as she would ready for him to rush her, obscuring the direct line to Kazura still. Preparing for any attack he would throw out at her by dropping to a defensive stance and hopefully triggering False Confidence as he would see her drop into it; preparing to block or dodge it. She did not need to take too much more damage at this point, but recovery this time had at least been eased from the lack of damage to her throat in this fight.

From behind Sui, Kazura would simply form a few hand seals and prepare to throw the bomb she held, near spent. She would not give up under any pretense, but this was coming close to the limit of what she could endure. Taro's movements determining a lot of the direction the two would both move. Seemingly following to keep him in some form of a line as he approached. If he went for Sui, while Kazura, stayed obscured the flash bomb would be thrown at the feet of the two shinobi that were engaged in melee yet again. This time making the option of body flickering from their direct closeness in melee much harder to leave its blinding range.

At which point Kazura would unleash a torrent of liquid upon the boy, one of the two girl's baseline formations they come to, blinding hold. Not unlike what they had done before repeated, but the circumstances held different as Sui would hopefully grab his attention when he approached towards the two from her frontal blockade only a meter or two ahead of Kazura. Offset by maybe a foot, the two were on crunch time. Their best attempt to simply lock him to the earth, as they would be preemptively ready for the sticky liquid to reach the earth.

Taro would in either case, be the first to ignite their actions.

Rank:C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
Type:Ninjutsu
Element:Suiton
HANDSEALS: 2
Description:
Mizuame Nabara is a Ninjutsu utilizing the Water Element. After forming the needed handseals, the user will expel a sticky liquid from their gullet. This liquid can cover approximately 20 square meters. If the target runs on top of the liquid, their feet will become glued to its sticky surface. If the ninja focuses chakra to their feet before touching the surface, they can hover above and move over it without hindrance. This allows the user or a comrade to charge and attack without fear of becoming bogged down as well.

[Iwai Sayua]

Time was running short. Sayua stared at the shinobi card in front of her, as she had since she learned who her opponent would be. As the clock was beginning to run short on Suika’s match she felt her nerves building. Not to mention she was already worried about her comrades' use of shunshun so many times throughout the match, one of the few things she had been able to pick out in the chaos. She thought to call to her, but in her experience Suikazura may as well have been deaf to anything that she wasn't focusing on.

The flicker of birdlike flames illuminating through the smoke made her gasp for a moment. She squinted and tried to see through the smoke and the mess of pine to no avail. Frowning she briefly put a hand up and formed a seal to push out her senses, detecting the three beating hearts.

"Stubborn as always,” Sayua said with a warm smile. "She’s alright, I am going to go get ready,” she told Ryoko before standing up to depart. "Mine should be quick, i’m probably going to die,” she half-joked before nervously laughing and making her way towards an opening that would lead her down to the stairs to get to the ready room. She gave Zakku’s card one last look, shuddering and then looking back to wave at Ryoko. She was going to have to be as brave as her teammates had been.

[aihara ryoko]

"A shame they don't let us fight as a team. I wasn't born for this solo crap, Aihara are team players." She thumbs at herself proudly when speaking of her family, standing up straighter. She'd spent the whole time leaning against the wall, watching the fight but only just. It was interesting, but Ryoko was still a little distracted by her loss.

First match of the round, so very short. For a moment she even thought she won, but she was happy she hadn't. Victory wouldn't have been worth that sort of bloodbath. Thinking about it was still enough to make her cringe.

"Meh, just try to make it longer than mine... and more entertaining." She smirks a little and shakes her head, turning around once Sayua's gone to watch the other member of squad 3 fight.

It was chaos out there, but it was Ryo's sort of chaos. Not the lies that had defeated her. Fire and smoke, destruction and war. Violence. That was Ryo's sort of chaos. Having been quiet far to long she shakes herself out of her dour mood. She takes a deep breath and tips her head back, shouting loud as she can.

"COME ON SUIKA! WOOOO, KICK HIS FIERY ASS!"
