tarting moves were often easy to read. The first strike of true combat made this less so, but in the beginning of a spar, there was very little else to focus on but the position of the opponent, the way he stood, the motions he carried through. Once the spar had properly started and there were many jutsu from competing directions to keep a read on, things became more complicated, and making reads was something that took a very keen eye, something that Shuka hadn't trained as extensively as some others. Still, as it was an opening move, she was able to anticipate it and avoid it rather neatly. Something that first looked like stone broke from the ground, rising in sharp spikes. She'd seen many moves similar to it. As she dodged to the side, though, she tried to take a closer look and identified something interesting. The surface was slightly more colorful than most stone (though it was made less so by being out of water, she hadn't yet connected those dots). It was the presence of polyps that really tipped her off. Coral was not quite as common in the northern hemisphere as it was in the warmer waters to the south, but some did still grow even in frigid temperatures. She'd seen some on missions that had required her to delve below the surface of the water, her clan one of few that could stand the below freezing water without special equipment. Were these the route by which Toru intended to deliver poisons? Shuka didn't know much about this, so it would be interesting to see more. She pulled her sword from her sheath and took an attempt to try to slash one of the coral spikes. Testing the material, trying to see how well it did or didn't cut. ISHY of THQ & ADOXOGRAPHY
