"shattered foundations". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." DIVIDE AND CONQUER
The team was doing a remarkable job at saving people, even though it was impossible to save everyone. That was the harsh reality of the world, but still, they were not letting the unavoidable fatalities shaken their spirit. Azarea and Kojirou were working well together, and so were Shigure and Sengo, while Daisuke used his sage powers to take care of the fire. If they had Akihiko in a good shape, maybe they could've accomplished more, but again, there was no point considering the "ifs" of life.
Still, the damage to the town was significant, and even with all their effort, there were many risks involved. With his Byakugan, Shigure tried to keep track of what was going on with the members of his team, and when he noticed the collapsing structure near where Azarea and Kojirou were, he took a deep breathe, waiving a single hand seal. "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu!" he exclaimed, creating a perfect shadow clone of himself, who immediately knew what to do.
The clone would dart towards the place where Azarea and Kojirou were with its full speed, using the Body Flicker Technique to close in the gap, and hopefully arrive at the place in time, and then leap between the people and the rubble. "Run! I will take care of this!" the clone would exclaim. With that being said, the clone would start moving its arms at an incredible speed, aiming to destroy every single piece of rubble coming their way. "Shugohakke Rokujuuyon Shou!!" using the Protection of the Eight Trigrams, one of the absolute defences of the Hyuuga clan.
After that, if the clone managed to protect itself and the others, it would stick around Azarea and Kojirou to further aid them with the rescue.
Meanwhile, Shigure would grab his military ration pill and eat it to recover some of the chakra he had spent to create the shadow clone, and continue to work alongside Sengo to save people, taking advantage of the fact that Daisuke had dealt with a lot of the fire, and that they had taken care of the smoke as well, hoping that this would allow them to work faster and more efficiently at rescuing people, alongside the Convocation of Eagles.
"So what if it seems hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn't give up. Embrace your dreams. And, whatever happens, protect your honour as a Shinobi, for the price of freedom is steep."
EventCreates a Shadow clone. Shadow clone uses Body Flicker to move towards Azarea and Kojirou, and seeks to protect them using Protection of the Eight Trigrams. Shigure eats a military ration pill, and continues to work alongside the eagles and sengo to save people.[Aburame Azarea Honō Kojirou hirana kizumi Kojima Daisuke Murahira Sengo][415 words] |
SA used: 『 BYAKUGAN 』
Like all members of his clan, Shigure also has the famous Byakugan as one of his signature traits. Naturally, Shigure’s eyes have a near 360 degrees field of vision around himself, save for a small blind spot at the back of his neck above the thoracic vertebra. His eyes are capable of seeing through most objects, giving him great perception of his environment, and making quite the challenge to surprise or ambush the Hyūga when his doujutsu is activated. Having been seriously trained to develop his sight, Shigure managed to increase the range of his Byakugan to a respectful 8 kilometres range, which makes him quite the competent tracker in missions. His eyes also allow him to see infrared, through chakra barriers, discern clones from their makers, determine colour of someone’s chakra, and determine if a genjutsu is being used or not.
He is also very capable in his ability to see chakra, including the chakra circulatory system inside a person’s body, thus allowing him to easily identify the precise location of the tenketsus, which is paramount in the use of the Gentle Fist to its maximum capacity, power, and finesse. On top of it all, Shigure’s training and experience as a people’s person allowed him to add this insight to the power of his Byakugan, thus making him quite competent at reading people’s emotions. Therefore, when using his Byakugan, Shigure can usually detect if someone is lying through the impulses of their brain, heartbeat, and general body language. Moreover, when focused on an opponent, Shigure can even anticipate their reactions based on their muscles and body functions prior to the execution of an action.
『 ENHANCED COMBAT SPEED 』
What Shigure lacks in physical strength, he definitely makes it up in the combat speed department. Having trained the Gentle Fist since his early childhood, the Hyuuga learned that raw power and superior strength were borderline useless for his style since, in the end, nobody can train their inner organs to become stronger. Therefore, the chakra reliant style of the Hyuuga fighting style was more than enough for him to achieve the desired results in battle. Thus, the truly efficient way to improve his fighting capabilities was directly associated with how fast he could act and react in a fight.
Shigure’s reflexes are absurdly sharp, and he can react almost instantly to attacks, which makes him quite skilled at counter attacking with his deadly Gentle Fist, making it difficult for opponents to actually land a blow on him. In short, he can react fast to combat situations.
『 ENHANCED CHAKRA CONTROL 』
Due to the intensity of his training and his overall style as a practitioner of the Gentle Fist, as well as his Hyūga genes, Shigure was able to develop a level of chakra control that puts him above that of his peers, bringing himself to a level similar to those a rank higher. His level of control is remarkable and allows him to optimise the usage of chakra, avoiding any unnecessary waste while using his techniques. This ability gives him an edge on the battlefield, as he is able to use more techniques, more frequently, while also avoiding the draining effects of running out of chakra due to waste.
『 GENTLE FIST SAVANT 』
Shigure is a natural savant at his clan’s legendary Taijutsu style despite being a sort of a late bloomer. He has developed an incredible proficiency with the techniques of his clan, that allows him to stand out above even his fellow kinsmen. With his current level of understanding and application of his techniques, the heir to the clan brings incredible precision and swiftness to his attacks, rarely ever missing his mark once an attack is launched.
Guided by his potent doujutsu, he became an expert at shutting down his opponents chakra network, as well as combining the techniques of the clan together to deliver even more powerful attacks. He can, while using the Gentle Fist and it's techniques, also land more blows per second than most of his peers, moving so swiftly that it’s even hard to keep up. This makes him an incredibly dangerous opponent to fight at close quarters, as he is capable of giving even higher ranking Shinobi a real challenge.
『 MOVEMENT SPEED 』
Shigure's speed is no longer solely restricted to his reaction speed in a fight; he can also move extremely fast. The Hyuuga can run at an incredible speed, capable of matching higher ranking shinobi. Keeping up with his pace is an strenuous task for those who are not skilled in close quarter combat, and to the untrained eye his movements will appear like a blur. If his opponents do not have superior reaction speed, they may struggle to evade him from closing in during battle, or from catching up to them in a chase. As consequence, he is also quite capable at retreating from combat, as few can match his full speed.
『 SUPERIOR AGILITY 』
The Hyuuga has improved his melee dexterity dramatically thanks to his intense training, dedication and hard work. His body learned to move with grace, no matter to which direction (forward, backwards, sideways), without straining his muscles, which are now capable of handling his body weight and swiftness in battle. Due to this, he can move around with near-perfect movement precision, making so that no wasteful movement is used, and his body moves at full efficacy. This allows him to move without any momentum, giving him an advantage in combat.
This ability, which helps him to maneuver without being hampered by his own body, makes opponents of similar level have a terrible time landing a blow on him. Technique used: NAME: Shugohakke Rokujūyon Shō [ Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Taijutsu DESCRIPTION:
A dual functioning jutsu in which the user creates a gigantic shield of chakra around them that serve a dual purpose: to defend them from attackers (to the smallest to the largest) and to deflect and cut the enemies. To create this shield they should emit strong blades of chakra while they move their arms precisely creating the strong net that creates the skin of the dome. The final creation will be that of an strong barricade that keeps enemies at bay while serving as an "absolute defence” effect similarly to one of it’s parents technique: The Eight Trigrams Revolving Heaven.
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. Item used: Military Ration Pill x1
