[Asuka Waruichi]

After Asuka regained her momentum the girl would notice that Toru was attempting to strike her, his hand moving towards her with a tag attached. As a form of retaliation Asuka would duck under the blow and dash forward simultaneously to try and grab hold of him before he had enough time to react, adding a burst of chakra to her feet to enhance her movements and sweeten the deal.

If successful she’d grabbing hold of his body wrapping her arms around his arms and keeping him within her grasp in an effort to try and squeeze the life out of him with her powerful strength in a bear hug. During this process, Asuka would hold him down with such force that she'd attempt to break his back using her grip and wouldn't let go under any circumstances. She’d see Taro attempting to make his way over and with Toru in her grasp it would seem as though the two would potentially have the upper hand on the him as the fight progressed.

With Asuka’s hefty grip it didn’t seem as if he’d potentially have no way of escaping the girl would advance forward moving at her top speed even if it was only a few feet since her top speed was slightly faster than his. With this time she’d avoid Kuni’s motion and keep Toru locked in her arms hoping this would give Taro enough time to formulate some sort of counter 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.

Summary:

Asuka able to see Toru's motions since she is familiar with the genjutsu, uses the opportunity of Toru trying to slap a tag on her to dash forward using ACCELERATION to boost herself to top speed in order to GRAB TORU and use her SUPER STRENGTH to try and rip him apart in a STANDING BEAR HUG

NOTES: Here!

[Yoshiko]

Taro having to clear a distance that was incredibly short, as he'd just run from the distance relatively quick with no boost. Wouldn't be out of Toru's and Asuka's incursion long. He'd be entering a situation that'd be somewhat sketchy, but if the mist shinobi had been truly capable of reaching of over Asuka to plant a tag. Then there was no reason any amount of, 'I'm going to hug you' wouldn't work. Rushing into that situation his plan would absolutely stick with breaking his teammate free of the genjutsu, as he'd not stop with that simple action though.

Having come from behind his teammate, he'd be able to place his hand in the spot where the tag would be attempted. Cremating his hand to destroy the tag before it could go off. Hopefully locked in a bear hug, it'd mean Toru hadn't much in the room of motion. Not enough at least to perform a swing Taro couldn't dodge and using his teammates body as a physical barrier to prevent movement. The ice shinobi would glide his hand up her back to grab for Toru's wrist or arm, then cremate his hand again, but this time he'd leave the bone. A skeletal like burning hand attempting to squeeze furious amounts of pain into Toru's hand to release his sword.

At the same time Kuni's clone would approach the group, as Taro had thrown three explosion tags behind him. She'd be running straight into three explosions. Assuming this clone wasn't a super clone this would likely disperse it?

Though at this point there'd be a Kuni returning to combat which meant there'd be an attack in coming. From his position behind Asuka, he could tug at the other males arm and see the girls outstretching arm come at them. Granted that attack was still attempted after she'd launched into the air and seen the present scenario. He'd quickly charge his free fist this time with twice the chakra of his last attack and attempt to violent strike the attack as it came at him and his teammate. His attack by a normal Nakajima would shatter stone, so more than likely the attack which lacked rooting would be deflected by his fiery force.

If by some means Toru had given up on placing a tag on his opponents back and had a manner to dodge what should of been point blank range grapple. Then Taro would act accordingly to the boys repositioning, as it'd make no sense Toru could reach over and touch Asuka's back, but she wouldn't be able to wrap her arms around him. They at best had equal speed, but Taro would bet the girls speed was greater even if marginally. So with one failure, it'd be too hard to say for certain he'd attempt to proceed with moving to block Taro off and perform a swing of his sword. Though if he did take this course of action Taro would elegantly drop to the ground like a skid, but seem to be unhindered by the turf below him.

Using momentum of his earlier movement and forming a fist, he'd after skidding under the sword swing drive a powerful upper cut straight into the mist shinobi's gonads. Continuing his slide to breeze past Toru and once again perform the Kai release, upon his teammate and hopefully leaving a gasping for air mist shinobi behind him as a human shield to Kuni's long arm technique. Alternatively if Toru wasn't tagging, wasn't blocking then the plan would remain to quickly Kai and continue on to perform his three handseals and prepare a rather flashy jutsu.

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.

SYNOPSIS: Based on the actions Kuni needed to take to complete her aerial attack and the original distance separating Taro from Asuka, he'd of likely been in the seen moments after the genjutsu hit. As so far none of his actions have required hand seals and he's a tai-sole with a speed SA, using a speed up jutsu with a this jutsu is boosted in force SA. Granted Asuka was successful in the grapple, which regardless if your world is spinning or not should be relatively easy to do based on the spacing you've provided in the action of placing a tag on her back. Using Toru being stuck Taro, removes the genjutsu and burns the tag placed or attempted. Using positioning with Asuka's body in the way Taro reaches to grab Toru's sword.

Granted this is a miss read or there's some escape I don't see, then I plan to attempt my actions as previously stated Kai'ing, whooshing around and preparing hand seals for a jutsu.

Granted the miss read and Toru does everything in his power to move between Taro and Asuka, to swing his sword for him, he'd dip back sliding with his fire skate to then upper cut the poor boys family jewel. Using his taijutsu prowess to slide back to his teammate, Kai and destroy a tag if necessary.

I strongly believe in the first situation unfolding, but if it doesn't, I really-really can't predict what'll happen so I have to see.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you @--

Toru did not attempt to intercept Taro, because instead of his explosion tag going through the way he wanted it to go Asuka was reaching out to grapple him, so he didn't really get a chance to reach or do anything with the tag - as he had wanted anyway - instead, he found himself dropping the tag to the ground between the two of their feet, now it was just laying on the ground as those tags would.

Taro appeared behind Asuka to break her out of the genjutsu, and also reach out to grab Toru's arm around the same time as Asuka started to bear-hug Toru - in which the boy started to focus - most of it was covered with cloth from his sleeve so the burn wasn't immediate, but it got down to flesh very fast due to the heat. When he felt the other boy's palm against his own arm - the bare minimum of his touch would be enough for Toru - and the burn was more intense he let out two bursts of chakra in the form of body paralysis and drop his sword.

He wasn't stupid, he knew that both Taro and Asuka - based on their performance - were taijutsu specialists, which meant that if they both had great strength - at least greater than his own - they would be able to break out of it in a moment, but Toru would only need a split second. He would slide down using his smaller lithe frame to essentially use Asuka's arms as a water slide tube and get out.

He had dropped his sword, and it would free up his hand to shove through the frozen momentary grip to get out.

The sword, Toru could retrieve in a moment, but for now, he was moving quickly out of the way, pulling a kunai from a pouch as he jumped out of immediate hitting radius.

Burned arm, he would live with it... As much as it hurt, he was a shinobi he wasn't supposed to let his enemy know that he was struggling.

Synopsis: Toru drops the explosion tag on the ground between Asuka and himself. As Asuka bear hugs and Taro breaks her of genjutsu then goes to burn Toru's arm, Toru uses the moment to use body paralysis since they are both touching him in one way or another (reflex sa to time it correctly), he does it twice to freeze them both momentarily, he uses this to slip away, sliding down out of Asuka's bear hug and forcing Taro's grip to widen. His sword is dropped but he jumps away and takes a kunai out to recuperate at a distance (speed sa/reflex sa to get out of the way quickly while they are momentarily frozen).

Jutsu:
NAME: Kanashibari no Jutsu [Body Paralysis Technique] x2
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
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.

Equipment:
Aoi Kiri
-1 Explosive Tag

SA's:
Special Ability #1
Kenjutsu Practitioner
Toru had a great deal of knowledge when it comes to weaponry, but his love lies in swords. As a genin his skill and movement with a sword is unparalleled and akin to a prodigy. The sword is just an extension of his body and who he is. When a blade is in his hands he strikes his enemies down quickly and doesn't seem to hesitate when he does so. The form of his body is that of someone who has trained in the art for quite some time, and it is no surprise when he is able to go toe-to-toe with chuunin have never swung a sword.

Special Ability #2
Speed Like Wind
Toru uses his lithe frame to move around quickly and his training with kenjutsu combined with his desire to be faster has brought to the point that he is at today. In top physical form, he is much faster than not only the average genin but can parallel the speeds of chuunin going at their very quickest - this is generally only true of those have not trained and honed the skills that he has. In more plain terms, Toru can match the speeds of genin who are bukijutsu and taijutsu primary specialists and easily outrun and untrained chuunin.

Special Ability #3
Lightning Reflex
Toru has impeccable control over his body and muscles, to the point that he appears as if he might be dancing around his opponents with mockery. Not only quick on his feet, he seems to have the reflexes to go along with his speed. It takes a similarly lithe and feline-like opponent to land a proper hit on the small boy. A chuunin with similar speed and reflexes - and proper training - can tire Toru out properly enough to do so, or perhaps a genin although it may take longer. Toru is an almost slimy opponent and is difficult to pin down.

Special Ability #4
Enhanced Chakra Reserves
Gifted with a larger than normal chakra pool, Toru can easily utilize a series of jutsu without tiring out as quickly as others. Stronger and higher ranked jutsu don't drain him quite as easily and anything with a continuous drain seems to last longer as well.

Tired. She was so tired of this shit. In mid-air Kuni, watched her clone run straight into the paper bomb explosion. The girl groaned as she would attempt to throwing the limb at Taro, seeing him move to assist Asuka with Toru. Really, two to beat one? Fucking idiots. The Taki shinobi thought as her arm got closer. Choosing to stop a ways away from actual contact, new information from the scene came as the Nakajima had reached for a nasty grip on Toru; prompting the girl to utilize katon variant of body flicker to essentially instantly blow up her body in flames. By the time the flames consumed the girl, Kunikunosaku was long gone. She appeared behind both the deafened Taro and the occupied Asuka.

Kuni quickly weaved three seals as both opponents appeared to freeze in place after the both gripped Toru in some way. "Fucking move!" Kuni shouted at Toru milliseconds before her hands smacked the earth, using the Binding Tightly seal to lock Asuka and Taro in place. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the good boy jump away from Asuka's grip, the synchronicity was perfect but that didn't stop her assault. Angered beyond all hell and free of worry of any accidental Toru hits, Kuni weaved two more seals to conjure her Talons once more, silently appearing beside the deaf Taro to kick his knee in with her enhanced strength. If she found her target, Kunikunosaku sliced her Talons across Taro's eyes in an attempt to blind him while he is stunned by the sudden strike.

Fate smiled as Asuka who was busy trying to hold Toru and consumed by the body paralysis jutsu Toru must've used; easily cemented to the earth by the Fūin technique. Kuni moved rapidly to jab her left talons in her back to grip the lower lumbar of her spine. The right talon jabbed beside the upper curve of her spine, gripping tightly for the claws to burrow into the bone marrow, holding Asuka in place; her life literally in Kuni's hands as threads poked out of her skin and tried to touch the inner organs.

If she got this far, she would finally say her final and only warning. "Forfeit or she dies!"

Synopsis: Kuni having been launched in the air follows through to launch her Long Limb after cursing the fact her clone was destroyed. Upon seeing Taro now reaching to hurt Toru and counter her, Kuni immediately retracts her arm to use Body Flame to cross the distance.

Appearing behind Taro with his earplugs who's behind Asuka, Kuni warns Toru to move in some capacity as she uses Bind Tightly to lock both Taro and Asuka to the ground. Essentially sneaking up on him as she tries to walk around him and create her Restless Eagle Talons, Kuni kicks Taro's knee in (potentially breaking miniscus or tearingthe ACL/MCL), she circles back and slashes at his eyes to blind him. Digging her claws in Asuka's back right after, her hands grip the spine of Asuka.

In that position, not realizing STILL the boy has ear plugs, she orders him to forfeit or Asuka dies.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

JUTSU(S) USED:

HANDSEALS: 3
DESCRIPTION:
After three hand-seals, the user will slap both hands on the ground and summon an intricate spherical seal on the ground, ten meters in diameter, with the user at the epicenter. Anyone or anything standing on the ground within ten meters is then sealed to the ground itself, locking their feet in place. They will be stuck in place until the seal is broken, which can be achieved by destroying the ground it is summoned on. People who were not inside the range can move over the surface of the seal once it's been summoned without any issue.

HANDSEALS: 2
DESCRIPTION:
Inspired by the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, the user will pour their chakra into the tips of their fingers, and more specifically their fingernails. Being that fingernails are made mostly of the same substance as the hair, the nails will take the keratin of the skin around them to grow out longer. This causes the skin to tighten and leads to the bulging veins of the move. The nails don't grow out long or ensnare enemies like the parent technique, instead more chakra is poured into making them as strong as steel, and as sharp as a blade. The nails grow sharp enough to mimic the abilities of Kunai.

[Asuka Waruichi]

During the exchange, Asuka kept up her grip but would notice Toru drop his sword in addition Toru had managed to free himself of her grip and girl would give chase, he couldn’t get too far, and Asuka with her superior speed gave chase the moment he let go caught up to him grabbing hold of his hand and squeezing down on it hard enough to force him to drop the weapon he held in hand and injuring his hand in the process.

As this went on the girl would jab him in the chest sending a burst of Chakra through his body in order to paralyze him and would then proceed to assault the boy with a massive bevy of strong knife edged nukite's to his throat. Toru was not the most durable boy in the world at with the burn on his arm and the pain in his back from taking the strikes there was no way he was one hundred percent and with her now freed from his genjutsu the girl would be able to hopefully make short work of the young man.

His reflexes were good but it’s not easy to dodge when you’re in pain Asuka was a testament to that having been in this position many a time with Toru himself. And so in that moment she would begin to smash her hand into his throat as he sat without his sword doing anything at this point for her young companion would be rather strenuous and at this point she had to do all she could to put him down and keep him that way.

TAG: Kaguya Toru Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku yoshiko
HEX: #1c578c
NOTES: Here!

[Yoshiko]

The explosion note dropped instead of placed would of been a problem to Taro. He'd despite grabbing Toru with his one hand to apply a burning grip, he'd use his other free hand to grab the loose note and tear it in his hand. Digging his thumb through the center to tear it in half and disable it from use later, it'd slightly infuriate the male. Why'd this Kirigakure shinobi place an explosion tag on his own allies back? Kirigakure shinobi did have that rather ruthless reputation, but it certainly peeved the boy to see first hand.

This frustration would help him drive heat to his hold on Toru, but then there'd be the result Taro wanted the sword was dropped. A flicker of his flaming hand as chakra seemed to attempt to hit him. This wasn't the proper use of body paralysis, but it startled Taro causing him to let go of Toru. Granted he largely did it more so to lower himself and grab the sword as it fell. His attention upon an incoming attack, he'd of planned to strike this attack away with his star strike. That'd be unnecessary as it was pulled back and his opponent vanished in flames after a single handseal.

Taro knew the jutsu, at least he had a good guess of it. He knew the jutsu personally, unless it was a genjutsu. He'd not know where the Takigakure shinobi would move too. He should of expected behind him, but with them needing to perform three hand seals, as well as calling out the technique. It wouldn't make much sense Toru escaped, but Asuka fell for the trap. Even if it had the boy had a good enough understanding of fuuinjutsu to figure an almost immediate way out of the jutsu, as it'd spread under his feet and prevent him from following Asuka. He'd still had chakra charged in one fist, amplifying it, he'd deliver his punch to the earth below him. Breaking the bind tightly seal.

Based on where the seal spread from he'd know where to turn his attention for his opponent, she'd attempt to kick his knee in, but it'd be a meaningless effort. His leg upon feeling the pressure of Kuni's kicked would phase into flame. Letting her leg pass as well as letting him spin like a top to face her, his hands taking the sword up to a guard, as he'd ready himself for the ensuing engagement.

Toru would run for it the moment he was released, jumping into the air to avoid the sealing of the ground whilst Asuka would attempt to give pursuit. His jump alone would cover a great deal of ground, getting him just out of the radius of the immediate sealing area - approximately ten meters. A rumble was heard not long after with the earth-shattering that occurred by Taro breaking the seal. Toru would turn on short notice when Asuka caught up with him swerving around to her side to let out another whistle to put her back into genjutsu, not allowing for the interaction as she had wanted it to occur - essentially cutting off her plan. It was relatively easy as well since she was reaching to grab his hand and all he had to do was move his body out of the way of her hand's trajectory.

Deciding to temporarily engage Asuka, while Kuni took care of Taro - or he hoped she would take care of Taro - he would expel a thin layer of water all over where Asuka and he were standing. Presumably, while she was under genjutsu and experiencing vertigo, on top of the extremely slippery surface she would struggle to stand as the world would spin again.

Unarmed he was not totally useless and could still deal damage, especially now that the area that the two of them stood on was extremely treacherous, he would pull out a kunai and toss it at Asuka, attempting to get her to dodge it and thus fall over, although it would be possible that she would not dodge it and simply have a kunai impaling her shoulder.

Toru kept a watchful eye though, as it seemed that Asuka was impervious to genjutsu - for reasons he did not yet understand - so he thought maybe she would be impervious to this technique as well.

He was going to prepare for every possible outcome, although he had to admit that his peripheral remained in part with Kuni, he would hop to help her if it became necessary.

For now though he waited for two possible outcomes, Asuka falling over and him moving to incapictate her - via throwing a second kunai at her stomach, or her miraculously continuing to stand and his having to fight back one way or another.

Synopsis: Toru escapes the double grip and the sealing, turns to swerve around, and yank his hand out of Asuka's trajectory to avoid her grabbing him and whistle to put her into a genjutsu. He decides to engage now, covering the ground both he and Asuka are on with a particular type of jutsu that makes the ground extremely slippery intending to amplify the effects of the genjutsu regardless of what Asuka has trained. After this he tosses a kunai at Asuka, aiming at her shoulder hoping to either hit and have a kunai in her shoulder, or have her dodge and distort her reality more.

Suimen Hokou no Waza [Act of Water Surface Walking]

Equipment:
-1 Kunai (potentially -2)

SA's:
Special Ability #1
Kenjutsu Practitioner
Toru had a great deal of knowledge when it comes to weaponry, but his love lies in swords. As a genin his skill and movement with a sword is unparalleled and akin to a prodigy. The sword is just an extension of his body and who he is. When a blade is in his hands he strikes his enemies down quickly and doesn't seem to hesitate when he does so. The form of his body is that of someone who has trained in the art for quite some time, and it is no surprise when he is able to go toe-to-toe with chuunin have never swung a sword.

Special Ability #2
Speed Like Wind
Toru uses his lithe frame to move around quickly and his training with kenjutsu combined with his desire to be faster has brought to the point that he is at today. In top physical form, he is much faster than not only the average genin but can parallel the speeds of chuunin going at their very quickest - this is generally only true of those have not trained and honed the skills that he has. In more plain terms, Toru can match the speeds of genin who are bukijutsu and taijutsu primary specialists and easily outrun and untrained chuunin.

Special Ability #3
Lightning Reflex
Toru has impeccable control over his body and muscles, to the point that he appears as if he might be dancing around his opponents with mockery. Not only quick on his feet, he seems to have the reflexes to go along with his speed. It takes a similarly lithe and feline-like opponent to land a proper hit on the small boy. A chuunin with similar speed and reflexes - and proper training - can tire Toru out properly enough to do so, or perhaps a genin although it may take longer. Toru is an almost slimy opponent and is difficult to pin down.

Special Ability #4
Enhanced Chakra Reserves
Gifted with a larger than normal chakra pool, Toru can easily utilize a series of jutsu without tiring out as quickly as others. Stronger and higher ranked jutsu don't drain him quite as easily and anything with a continuous drain seems to last longer as well.

"Hearts"; "Zangyaku kōi"; "Bitch"; "Kunekune"; "Monster"; "Shrimp"; "Pint"; and "Brat".

To her, it was the perfect plan, sealing the two and moving to kill, finishing the two seals required, the Mikatakujira Apprentice tried to walk around Taro after he broke the seal in an attempt to still disable him without the jutsu. As the girl kicked with all her might, she practically hit him but once again, he lit his limb on fire and Kuni kicked through, spinning on her foot, Kunikunosaku simply let her momentum restore, as they both came to face each other, Kuni held out a hand as if to choke his neck, casting the Strangling Grasp genjutsu. Due to his concentration shifting from fighting to trying to breathe, it was standard chakra control basics that he'd lose his partial cremation mode.

WIDE OPEN! The girl thought as she jabbed her free arm using both her talons and her strength straight through his heart and chest. Staring the boy straight his face, if he coughed or spit blood at her, Kuni would have stared nonchalantly, giving the dumbass a kiss as his body grew limp and fell to the ground, snatching Toru's sword from his hands.

In the unlikely event Taro dared to look away, Kuni would repeat the fatal blow while he was distracted. If the boy somehow avoided the killing blow, Kuni would pull back, before preparing a chakra surge for body paralysis and hit his chest with her palm, freezing him just long enough to repeat the killing blow. Regardless of how he fell, Kuni hoped he screamed in pain and agony, warning Asuka to forfeit. The blood-covered girl ran with sword in hand before using her body flame jutsu to vanish in flames.

Success to this point was crucial, and when the girl reappeared in front of Asuka, she slide in between her leg, winging the blade to power cut Asuka's left lower leg from below her kneecap. In the event she missed, the girl stopped her slide, to use the Mysterious Nightmare jutsu to swing a whip of threads around Asuka's neck, pulling her back and down to the ground before retracting the whip and tossing Toru his sword back. "No one will fucking miss you." Kuni stated at Asuka, regardless of the route had she got this far.

Synopsis: Kuni would still attempt to kick with all her might at Taro's leg. Once partial cremation made her kick through, she used the momentum to recover and cast Strangling Grasp as he turned to face her via the visual trigger. Once he started gasping for air (cited by Apa) the lack of concentration to maintain Cremation technique failed to allow Kuni's maintained Talons to strike through his heart.

In the unlikely event he tried to look away, Kuni would scrap the genjutsu to ue her talons for the fatal blow. If either of the above failed - somehow - Kuni would pull back before fist palming Taro's chest, disrupting his movement and any cremation to land the killing blow.

Assuming any of those actually followed through, Kuni would kiss Taro before he dropped dead, taking back Toru's sword. This is when she would body flame in front of Asuka and slice her left leg off just below the knee cap, if again, he somehow missed such a clear shot, she'd use her hijutsu to create a long whip to swing around Asuka's neck to pull her back and to the ground, tossing Toru his sword back.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

JUTSU(S) USED:
NAME: Ochitsukanai Īgurutaron no Jutsu [Restless Eagle's Talons]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium [Low Drain]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: 2
DESCRIPTION:
Inspired by the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, the user will pour their chakra into the tips of their fingers, and more specifically their fingernails. Being that fingernails are made mostly of the same substance as the hair, the nails will take the keratin of the skin around them to grow out longer. This causes the skin to tighten and leads to the bulging veins of the move. The nails don't grow out long or ensnare enemies like the parent technique, instead more chakra is poured into making them as strong as steel, and as sharp as a blade. The nails grow sharp enough to mimic the abilities of Kunai.

NAME: Kōsatsu Haaku [Strangling Grasp]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: To Use: Low | To Maintain: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
TRIGGER: Visual
DESCRIPTION:
Triggered by the target(s) seeing the user raise their hand as if to choke, the target(s) will immediately feel as if a hand is around their throat. They'll find it extremely difficult to draw breath due to the illusion, while in reality they will be perfectly capable of breathing fine. This is primarily used as a scare effect. Furthermore, while it doesn't always happen, at times the target(s) are so panicked that in trying to grasp at the seemingly invisible hands they could potentially injure their selves in truth.

NAME: Kanashibari no Jutsu [Body Paralysis Technique]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
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.

NAME: Karada Hi no Jutsu [Body Flame Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: 火 Katon | Fire
DESCRIPTION:
A technique used similar to the Body Flicker Technique. When using this technique, the body appears like it's being engulfed by flames, disappearing from view slowly. How the flames engulf the user stylistically is up to them.

NAME: Nazokumu [Mysterious Nightmare]
RANK: D
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu, Kinjutsu
HANDSEALS: None
DESCRIPTION:
By releasing some of their stitching, a member of the Mikatakujira clan will create weaponry from their threads, be they sharp spears or flexible blades. Depending on one's skill with the hiden, they can make these weapons reach further. Being one of the more basic techniques, the threads lack major reinforcement, making them fragile to many, if not all, cutting attacks. Capable of piercing flesh and cloth, most will find it difficult to pierce anything tougher.
EQUIPMENT USED:
(Borrowed and returned) Toru's Sword

[Asuka Waruichi]

Asuka would notice Toru leap into the air as she moved and would add a burst wind to her feet moving fast enough to catch up with him. Before she leapt she would craft a hand sign causing two clones to appear beside Toru by the time the jutsu was active in her jump that would attempt to grab hold of his arms, as the real Asuka attempted the grab hold of his neck as if to strangle him as they descended.

During this process, if the duo would crash into the ground with Asuka's weight firmly against the boys chest as the clones kept him pinned in place should they survive any attempts at attacks during the landing. From there the clones would keep the boy on the floor with their weight. And Asuka herself would grip his throat with a level of force enough to potentially crush his windpipe in order to keep from breathing and with her weight on his chest breathing of any sort would be significantly harder.

SUPPLEMENTARY TECHNIQUE

NAME: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu [Shadow Clone Technique] [x2]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 1
DESCRIPTION:
Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows, as well as their kekkei genkai. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained along with it's remaining chakra are passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added. This is especially true when used with Tajuu Kage Bunshin.

MOVEMENT TECHNIQUES:

NAME: Hachidori no Odori [Dance of the Hummingbird]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low - Medium
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: Fūton

NOTES: Here!

[Yoshiko]

Turning to engage the Takigakure shinobi, it'd be impossible to dodge the strangling grasp technique. Though it'd certainly not be the end of the fight either, Taro didn't need to breath the normal way. He could merely absorb the air around him in a state of fire. So his bodies natural reaction would be to simply cremate his neck and throat giving the appear of a burning collar. It'd however alleviate nothing, to which the boy would know he wasn't physically being constrained. Deducing genjutsu would certainly come next, but doing anything about it was a far cry from possible.

He'd have to worry about overcoming this physical touch momentarily though, as there'd be a new jutsu attempted upon the male. An attack with the girls hand towards his heart, he'd lift one foot and cremate the bottom of the other. Toru's sword used to block the incoming attack, as the raised foot would fully cremate before projecting a thrust of fire force. Allowing him to skate backwards from the monster of a kunoichi, he'd held back long enough, as far as he was concerned these two weren't doing the same. The explosion note aimed for Asuka and now a heart blow on him? "So much for allies..." He'd scuff to himself during his retreat, it wasn't like he'd hear anyone's retort anyways.

Pulling back a sizeable distance, Taro would let go of the sword with one hand and quickly thrust his hand into his shirt. Tearing open the buttons which kept it crossed tightly over his chest and gut. "It's time I go all out!" Taro would declare loudly, then ripping a seal from his chest his words would be backed with action. A sudden change in chakra levels would be observed by all sensors, as an explosion of heat and flame would erupt from the Nakajima's body. His shirt torn a sunder in the flame revealing his chiseled abs glistening from the roaring ember around him.

A silhouette of what appeared to be a demon head would rise around him with the initial burst of chakra, as the burning shirt would line out this figure for a moment. Once passed though Taro would not only have an almost glow about him, especially a bright red burn in his eyes, but the very edge of his figure would seem to steadily shift into flame. He'd wave Kuni to come at him with one hand, as he'd hold the sword up behind him with the other.

SA: Nakajima Member - "Yikes he fire!", Weight Training - "Swift as hell!", Fire Force - "Fire Powah that packs a punch!" and Exuding Presence: Taro was born not only with larger than average chakra reserves, his were wildly uncontrollable, exuding a vast level of hear and in the right emotions fire too. This earned him the title of Nakajima devil child. To prevent him from draining his reserves and burning those around him, Taro wears a seal on his chest which prevents this uncontrollable burn, but also lowers his reserves to normal or slightly below average. This heat releases in tangible waves, drying the air around him and pushing away near weightless objects dependent on his burn. Very Low = 10m radius, Low = 25m radius, medium = 50m radius, high = 75m radius and very high = 75m radius, but the first 5m's causes burns and can slow small projectiles.

NAME: Haini: Ippo Ei [Cremation: Skate Step]
RANK: D-Rank
CHAKRA USAGE: Low [Very Low to maintain] (Half use due to one foot)
CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Haini no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION:
Using a partial cremation upon the users feet, the user will negate most of the friction created by their feet. This allows them to seemingly skate across the ground. Similar to skates this is a more balance intensive manner of moving, it's typically best used in motion already.

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] (half use due to one foot)
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.

SYNOPSIS: Reaction: Gets strangled, realizes it's genjutsu, because cremation doesn't stop the sensation. Uses sword to block the on coming attack, while also cremating feet to burst himself out of the situation at hand. Action: Removes devil seal and prepares for combat after revealing a very clear power up to his fire body form.

if i'm a danger to myself Just think what I could do to you @--

With the brand new information of Asuka coming up from behind, Toru wasn't exactly blind to her pursuit nor did she make it very stealthy as she propelled herself haphazardly up to get behind him - the jutsu propelling her making it more challenging to maneuver appropriately in the air. He didn't waste time taking action immediately against her especially with the two clones appearing, so it was a utilization half reflexes, half perception. He would whistle, but his hands were already up to start the hand seals so that once the genjutsu hit and sent her world upside down - incapacitating her ability to actually grab Toru to strangle him - he would be finished with the three simple seals just as the clones went to grab his arms and a whip of water would appear in his hand that he would shift his body weight mid-air against one clone - on his left - and then Asuka, and then the other clone, the whip meant to thrust them all away with one swift circular movement and send them flying away, though likely this would destroy the clones and leave only the real Asuka to collide with the ground one way or another. Toru would accomplish this by using the basic laws of the aerodynamics of combat in mid-air. If the whip didn't work - for one reason or another, though this would be quite difficult as both clones and Asuka were incredibly close and upon Toru - the genjutsu should have, which meant that Asuka was not quite as capable at grabbing him but the clones still might have, Toru would remedy the situation with a quick straddle kick to each respective clones midsection to disperse, on the ground or not, this would be accomplished again with his lightning-fast reflexes.

Not long after, Toru would meet the ground with a hop and a skip whether Asuka was nearby or not. There was a heat change in the atmosphere, and from the looks of it, Taro had gone full demon mode. Toru groaned internally, his gaze between wherever Asuka was, Kuni and Taro.

Toru, now - mostly - ignoring the genjutsu'd Asuka (he wasn't so stupid that he would ignore her entirely) who would be unlikely to have the balance to properly follow him, would start to move towards Kuni and Taro to help his teammate out - but keep a slight distance. The water whip would dissipate at this point and another three seals would come into play so that he could shoot water from his palm straight at Taro to douse him in a jet stream of liquid while he was showing off his cremation mode, just after he challenged Kuni to come towards him. If Asuka somehow managed to come at him - though the genjutsu should be effectively keeping her down for now - he would simply direct his water jet at her, to thrust her away... Doing what the water whip would have done in the air to a minimal degree anyway.

He hoped that in this situation, his suiton would help but he couldn't tell and he remained for now far enough away that there wouldn't be any danger of immediate retaliation.

Synopsis -
Reaction: Toru whistles to disorient Asuka mid-air, and summons the water whip to knock her and her clones away in a circular motion. If the water whip does not work (though he feels this is unlikely due to the proximity of the trio on his sides and back), then the whistle should nonetheless disorient Asuka but he will kick the clones simultaneously to dissipate them.
Action: Once on the ground and Toru feels he has taken care of Asuka, he will summon a jet stream of water to send straight towards the cremated Taro to hopefully dampen him. If Asuka attempts to engage, he points the jet at her.

Triggers for Zangyaku kōi:
"Hearts"; "Zangyaku kōi"; "Bitch"; "Kunekune"; "Monster"; "Shrimp"; "Pint"; and "Brat".

The genjutsu was able to hit but the the boy simply lit his neck on fire. He seemed to have a plan for everything, causing the girl to bear her teeth as she went to launch a fatal blow. One that would not find its intended target. "DAMN IT!" Kunikunosaku would yell as he blocked the attack with Toru's sword. Following his attempt, he'd completely light his leg on fire before skating away. Is this bitch really toying with me. Kuni thought as she evaluated everything in her sights, Taro retreating, Asuka fighting Toru, the glass brimmed with watching Genin; it all angered her. Kunikunosaku felt... odd, rubbing her brow with her arm. Her eyes narrowed as the male used the sword to cut his shirt open, the girl watched, perplexed at him undressing. Does he really think I'm interested in that?!

The girl readied her Talons once more as the male appeared he was gonna taunt her. Kuni had enough of him playing innocent-like while she was giving her all. The disrespect, why wasn't he like this from the start. Immediately, the girl dashed forward, eager to drive something in him but tendrils raced out of her back and quickly formed a barely imperfect body behind her. However, it moved such in sync, it was as if nothing appeared. Before the girl could get within striking range, regardless if he charged at her or truly stuck to his taunt and waited for her to fuck up, Kunikunosaku threw up a seal, combusting herself in flames before completely disappearing, however, the black mass that became a clone would still remain, appearing as if to deliver a flaming blow.

As it came closer however, the clone would seemingly break into threads, using its momentum to fly to Taro, trap and ensnare him. The real Kuni had indeed Body Flamed away, appearing behind Asuka. Taking her still clawed hand, the girl would strike at Asuka's back. If she was successful in grabbing Toru earlier, she would be too occupied to notice the Taki Shinobi jamming her clawed hand around Asuka's spine, bisecting it below her grip. It'd cause extreme pain and paralysis, permanent if she didn't seek medical attention as soon as possible, not counting the blood loss limiting her time.

If Kuni had appeared when Asuka was still in the air, Kuni would still be behind Asuka, using her own strength to quickly grab Asuka's neck; using the second lasting surprise to stab her arm straight through her back and out her abdomen. In the event she was holding Toru, however, Kuni still would try to sever her spine, but stop as it snapped, avoiding hitting Toru in her wake. Had Asuka been successfully blocked and whipped flying by the jutsu, Kuni would need not worry as Toru was clearly away. Waiting until She was in range, Kuni would reach up to grab Asuka's legs from the air, using her strength to bring Asuka down and smash her to the ground.

Reaction: Kuni watches Taro fall under a gen but cremate himself, still tries to strike to only be blocked by the blade. Watches him try to go flame by before charging at him, creating a clone directly behind her.
Action: Body Flames before she gets in range, having her clone cme directly behind to try and trap him in threads. Comes up behind Asuka to either 1) stab her hand through her back, bend and break her spine, 2) come up behind her while airborne to choke her and stab her arm through Asuka's back and out her abdomen, 3) repeat 1 if in mid-air holding Toru, or 4) come up under her trajectory after she had been water whipped to grab her, slamming Asuka to the ground using her SA enhanced strength.

SA(S) USED:
Jiongu | Earth Grudge Fear

After having to recycle the roots that ended up killing the previous Apprentice just to transfer Jiongu to Kunikunosaku, the mass of black roots recollects most of its abilities from the Apprentice previous while forming new ones with its new master/host, Kunikunosaku. As far as the roots are concerned, like any organism, it desires to feed and survive, all else is not required, nor necessary to function. As for the Symbiotic Relationship benefits Kunikunosaku can control the thread-like roots however she wishes. The thread are quite versatile, acting much like surgical threads they can be used to sew up wounds stretch, or harden for attacks akin to squid tentacles, as well as being equally flexible and significantly dexterous. In time, Kunikunosaku will learn that as long as they keep a heart attached to at least some of the roots making up her body at all times, she is functionally immortal, only dying once all the threads are completely removed from any living hearts, and is unable to be poisoned. Because all of her vital organs and their corresponding systems are gone, Kunikunosaku has no need to breathe, eat, or sleep. The roots are sufficiently maintained by storing hearts that are pumping and living, in turn drawing sustenance from them. These roots also allow Kunikunosaku to utilize the inherent nature of any hearts she adds to their body, allowing them to perform jutsu of that element as if it was their natural affinity.

Symbiotic Relationship: Mutualism

After gaining knowledge on how Jiongu behaves and acts, Kunikunosaku developed a strong bond with the Jiongu entity. Accepting both live in her now; that both are what makes up Kunikunosaku. As a result of this understanding and bond, Jiongu aids her in combat - despite being a small boost. When conditions are met, Jiongu can provide an aided strength boost to Kunikunosaku during combat. It is still relative to her natural strength at the time. While this has no speed benefits, this boost of strength can put her up to par with the max strength of her peers at the same rank level. As she matures and gains new skills and new statuses. So too does her strength grow.

Symbiotic Bond: Strong Mind, Strong Body

As Kunikunosaku developed a stronger relationship with Jiongu, the creature bestowed Kunikunosaku an additional gift. That which is bestowed grants her the body as strong as her will. As long as she has the will to fight and keep pushing forward, Kunikunosaku has attained a sense of a strong body. She can still feel all the pain she receives, however, her will will push through it; literally making her body push through the pain and maintain functionality despite the egregious wounds she may receive. Overwhelming pain at one time or other will breaking input can debilitate the girl's will-driven tolerance to falter to the degree of an average shinobi, opening her up to common pain. It is this will that allows her to force the tendrils/roots/threads to repair themselves from injury or stitch back together. This will increases with her skill as she becomes more confident and driven to satiate both her needs and Jiongu's.

JUTSU(S) USED:
NAME: Ochitsukanai Īgurutaron no Jutsu [Restless Eagle's Talons]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium [Low Drain]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
HANDSEALS: 2
DESCRIPTION:
Inspired by the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, the user will pour their chakra into the tips of their fingers, and more specifically their fingernails. Being that fingernails are made mostly of the same substance as the hair, the nails will take the keratin of the skin around them to grow out longer. This causes the skin to tighten and leads to the bulging veins of the move. The nails don't grow out long or ensnare enemies like the parent technique, instead more chakra is poured into making them as strong as steel, and as sharp as a blade. The nails grow sharp enough to mimic the abilities of Kunai.

RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium | Hijutsu
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: N/A
DESCRIPTION:
By expelling some of her their threads a user will create a rough clone of themselves. They have a lifespan of roughly three posts, and can be made in fairly large numbers. Along with being able to be made in large numbers, the clones are able to use their threads to wrap and skewer opponents before they dissipate. Like many elemental clones they are unable to use anything bar Taijutsu. When the clones either dissipate or are destroyed any surviving threads will attempt to return to the user.

NAME: Karada Hi no Jutsu [Body Flame Technique]
RANK: C
CHAKRA USAGE: Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu

[Asuka Waruichi]

Asuka’s clones would latch hold of Toru’s arms, keeping their weight applied to his body. "We got him!” one would cry and just as Asuka’s hand had touched the back of his neck and began to apply a firm grip a whistle would ring out and the world would start to spin. However having received confirmation from her clones of their successful grab, the girl kept up her grip and leaned forward to add her weight against him. She'd feel a great sense of disorientation since they were in the air but she knew it was all a trick and just kept her eyes forward trying to fight through it, able to tell where he was since her hands were now on his neck. Toru would attempt to move his arms in order to lash out at the girl but the clones who were already in mid grab got ahold of his arms and kept up the best grip they could to prevent the swing. Now with the weight of all three Asuka’s atop him the three would presumably crash into the ground with Asuka keeping her hand on the boys neck. However during the crash an errant kick lands on one of the clones dispersing it however with Asuka on top it's presence was negligible and return a small amount of chakra to the girl.

Should the boy have no way to escape Asuka using her sense of touch in order to re-orient her strikes would being to rain them down on the back of the boys head. And despite the inherent dizziness she had enough wherewithal to not strike herself. From there despite the fact that her vision was inverted Asuka acclimated to her sense of touch and familiarity with the jutsu and began to rain down blow after blow onto the back of the young mans head, knowing where to strike since she was able to feel where his head was since she had a hand on his neck. And while the punches weren’t able to be aimed at a specific spot with the greatest of accuracy given their close proximity it was bound to hit some part of the boys head with as much force as the girl was known to be able to muster. As they hit the ground a swell of heat would overcome the area and one of the clones Holding Toru down would look out and see the visage of a demon surrounding Taro.

As the girl did her business on the boy her clone would look out in Taro’s direction and notice Kuni appear, and the clone would rush towards Kuni ready to engage her attempting to push the girl down and buy the real Asuka some time as she attempted her melee based offense on the boy.

N/A

DEFENSIVE TEHCNIQUES:

SUPPLEMENTARY TECHNIQUES

Shadow Clone Justu in Play: (1) Clone

SUMMARY:

Asuka and her clones succeed in GRABBING HOLD OF TORU and proceed to DRAG HIM TO THE GROUND but not before Asuka is STRUCK BY TORU'S GENJUTSU causing aINVERSION IN HER VISUAL ORIENTATION however as this happens Asuka's hand manages to GRAB THE BACK OF TORU'S HEAD since her clones are holding him place. As the two land on the ground, Toru DISPURSES THE CLONE ON THE LEFT but Asuka keeps her grip on his neck and proceeds to strike him with her IRON FIST: GOD SPEAR TECHNIQUE her accuracy while not perfect still has the ability to land debilitating blows.

ARGUEMENT

Asuka was already in the process of attempting to perform her abilities in her last post and as a result even thought the genjutsu causes a slight interruption Asuka's speed and strength would be enough to keep the clones held in her grasp. In addition to this if his arms are obstructed his jutsu is unable to be completed. And while he does try to kick one of the clones, the mass of the clones would make his motion of said kick be rather limp plus even if the kick were to succeed with so much weight on his body how would he have enough force for the kick to fully connect or even move, but it only seems fair that if I am able to grab hold of you in mid air that you have the ability to at least kick. In addition IF He also should not be able to cast two jutsu in one go, I.E. water whip and wave of hand since they BOTH require 3 handseals EACH. and chakra must be molded SEPERATELY for each attack. Also he shouldn't be able to spin his body in mid air since he would need to account for the weight of Asuka which with the three clones who have full mass adds up to a weight of 220 pounds around both of his arms plus the weight of Asuka's hand against the back of his neck which would add a portion of Asuka's own weight to the equation. Which would mean that, Toru would be trying to move a total of 220+ lbs of weight while in mid air, with no strength SA after having already given up his momentum from being on the ground for more than a post.

As for Kuni a great deal of interactions were going on during the time that Taro had pulled off he seal and inbetween all of that without a speed SA or having the body conditioning of a Tai user it'd be hard if not impossible for Kuni to make it to Asuka whilst the two are still in midair however body flicker is really fast and it would stand to reason that she would make it by the time they're on the ground, but not without one of Asuka's clones noticing since Taro's flame release was quite a spectacle. And if Asuka were looking out at that I'm sure she would've also seen Kuni arrive in time, however it is noted that one CANNOT use Body Flicker to immediately attack upon arrival, however should you choose to continue your action, Asuka's clone will be waiting to intercept.

SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

Asuka is moving one arm forward, and her clones are only moving their arms forward and are using their collective weight to bring him to the ground. And are not performing any complex aerial maneuvers, aside from simply grabbing hold of Toru and keeping him in place. And with that much weight in the air the shift would send them forward with Asuka's blow being cushioned by Toru's body. And as far as the genjutsu goes in terms of messing with Asuka's ability to strike, while it is in play. Asuka has her hand placed firmly on Toru's neck in the instant the whistle goes off. IF the two manage to land on the ground and as a result of this, she is able to use her sense of touch to orient her strikes to where his head is, in addition she has already been subjected to the genjutsu once before in the fight, meaning it's effects are something Asuka is more than likely used to by now meaning she can acclimate to it a bit faster, with the hang time in the air being sufficient enough. Also despite Toru's reflexes. If Toru is on the ground, with the movement of his head obstructed by Asuka's hand he will have a hard time being able to dodge out of the way, however Asuka's strikes are also more than likely not going to be able to be aimed with perfect accuracy but that accuracy is assisted by the fact that Toru's movement is obstructed and that her hand placed firmly on his neck.

VISUAL EXAMPLE'S:

Asuka and Toru's position is as followed:



Asuka is the woman in brown and Toru is the woman in blue, however instead of her hand being on Toru's head it's on the back of his neck, however Asuka would be mounted from behind on top of his back like so:



With Asuka on top and Toru on the bottom and Asuka's hand on his neck squeezing down on it.
