It took Sora less than a second to realize something was wrong. Every inch of her body felt off, as if she had somehow just fell into a vat of thick goo that resisted motion; she knew her heart was beating but couldn’t feel it, knew her lungs were working but couldn’t sense the breath against her nostrils, couldn’t feel at all despite the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She had no idea what the issue was, how it had happened or what to do about it, but there wasn’t time to puzzle it out; Kuni was speaking, her hands flashing through seals as she summoned, of all things, a crocodile and ordered it to- To flood the cavern. Shit. Instinct pushed the Jounin to move, her arms and legs obeying despite the lack of feeling; she leapt to her right, towards the crocodile, Samidare between her and Kuni’s extending arm (and wasn’t that a creepy sight) as she tried to dodge the blow. Whatever was messing with her sense of touch interfered though, and what ought to have been a clean escape instead became a painful blow against her left shoulder, the punch cracking bone in a spike of pain as she slid through the rapidly rising water… And could feel again. "You think this is about a comment?" Sora snarled as the Taki-nin charged her, chakra pooling in her feet and through her blade as she exploded off at an angle, flying away from Kuni but closer to her summon- and swung her weapon, one handed, at the beast that was flooding the room, the Saber Jutsu slice arcing through the building water. No matter how fast the thing was, it wouldn’t be fast enough to dodge that, not without stopping its jutsu. And that would be good enough for now. The Jounin came to a halt about ten meters from where she’d been, skidding through the water as she used the last of her momentum to whirl around and face her opponent. Her shoulder ached, but it didn’t mean anything. Not to her. She had taken far, far worse and kept going. "You threatened my dead family five seconds after we met. Threatened to rip my heart out because I annoyed you, then tried to tie me down with those weird tentacle things!" Her voice was hoarse, not from exhaustion but emotion- because she had made her choice. Kuni was dangerous, yes. Kuni was broken, yes. Kuni was, potentially, insane. But that didn’t mean she couldn’t try saving her. But first, she had to reach her. And it was clear, Kuni respected only one thing: Strength. And there was only one way to prove who was stronger. "If anything, you’re the one who can’t handle a damn comment! One bit of pushback and you try to murder an allied Shinobi for telling you the truth." Sora sheathed Samidare and took a half-step back, entering a draw stance as she spoke, watching Kuni. Her hands came together to form three seals, pain flaring in her shoulder as Raiton chakra flowed into Samidare, building pressure in the sheath. The moment the Tokubetsu Jounin moved, she’d draw, unleashing her Jutsu… and cutting through anything, stone walls included, that was between it and her. Come on kid, take the bait… Combat Info Mikatakujira Kunikunosaku
Jutsu: NAME: Kazesanpo [Wind walk] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Low CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu ELEMENT: Wind DESCRIPTION: The blade is only as deadly as its reach, so maneuvering around the battlefield is important to a swordsman, in order to get close to the target, or avoid attacks. By channeling wind chakra into their feet, the user is able to swiftly run, so quickly that to the naked eye it seems like a blur. NAME: Saaberu no Jutsu - [Sabre Technique] RANK: B CHAKRA USAGE: Medium CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: N/a DESCRIPTION: Employing the use of chakra flow, the user runs chakra through their swords, extending both the reach and cutting ability of the blade while allowing the user to fire crescents of chakra whenever the blade is swung on command. This released chakra is capable of great destruction as these projectiles are capable of completely penetrating large stone pillars and still travel in their intended direction. Prepared, but not used NAME: Ittoryu Iai: Shishi Sonson [One Sword Style Draw-Cut: Lion’s Song] RANK: A CHAKRA USAGE: High CLASSIFICATION: Bukijutsu ELEMENT: Raiton HANDSEALS: 3 REQUIREMENTS: Chakra Conductive/Raiton Reactive DESCRIPTION: A powerful technique capable of cutting through solid steel like paper, Shishi Sonson coats the users blade from tip to hilt in Raiton Chakra while the user holds it within the saya, building pressure within until the user draws the blade in a flash of extreme speed and power. The ensuing cut extends out quite a bit further from the tip of the blade than normal (up to 15 meters), and is supremely lethal if it connects anywhere vital, though its strength does wane the further out you get, with the leading tip making shallower cuts, while just a meter down it cuts a deep gouge into even sturdy materials. The technique, like many Iaijutsu, is limited in its use, having to issue out from the side that the user draws their blade from, which makes it predictable. Additionally, the technique takes a brief moment to charge, thus essentially announcing to any informed combatant what the user is about to do, making it impractical for use as anything other than an opening move. Special Abilities: The Kunoichi That Goes On And On And On… [Endurance SA] Perhaps part of her genetics or simply a random quirk of fate, Sora is unnaturally resilient, be it to physical pain or the toils of extended combat. While most Shinobi would collapse in exhaustion at having used all but the smallest sliver of their chakra reserves, she pushes on; while most Shinobi would wilt beneath the weight of sleepless night after sleepless night, she keeps going. This does not mean she does not feel pain/the strain of extended combat, but rather that her threshold for shutting down because of it is far higher than others. To give an example, if she were to be stabbed through her abdomen, she would still feel the pain of the injury, and it would hinder her ability to move/act, but it wouldn’t stop her, whereas a normal ninja might freeze up or shut down from the pain. Bet You Didn’t See That Coming [Speed SA] A byproduct of her enhanced endurance, Sora (despite what many would think) dislikes being injured- and with that dislike comes the intense desire to avoid getting hurt, a desire that has pushed her to hone her body until it could move faster than most others of her rank. In short, Sora is fast- very, very fast. POWAH! UNLIMITED POWAH!! [Chakra Reserves SA] After a lifetime of utilizing nearly every ounce of chakra in her body just to survive, Sora’s chakra reserves have expanded a considerable amount to compensate- while she’s no Jinchuuriki, her ability to toss out jutsu after jutsu and still have enough chakra to keep going is quite remarkable, a testament to just how much of the stuff she actually has. I Am Not Left-Handed [Kenjutsu Mastery SA] Sora is not merely a Kenjutsu specialist- she is a master when it comes to the art of the sword; after over two decades of training, her skills are unrivaled within Kirigakure, falling short only to the Seven Swordsman themselves… some of them, anyway. This mastery allows her a distinct advantage when fighting other Bukijutsu specialists of similar or lesser rank. If You Try For Speed, You Do Not Achieve Speed [Bukijutsu Speed SA] Beyond being a master of Kenjutsu, Sora has practiced for decades to become the faster swordswoman she can be. As such, her Kenjutsu techniques come out faster and move quicker than those performed by others of her rank. Equipment: Samidare | Spring Rain Blade (Drawn) SA’s Unbreakable Whatever metal and forging process was used in the creation of Samidare, it worked; Samidare is utterly unbreakable by most any means, capable of being engulfed in an S-Rank Jutsu and remaining unscathed. Though it is possible that the blade could potentially be broken by a sufficiently powerful attack (such as, say, a Bijuu-dama), this has never been tested, so it is not known if it would survive. Sharper Than Your Average Blade Due to its nature as an unbreakable blade, Samidare bears a cutting edge that is of particular note, which allows it to slice through even steel with little in the way of resistance, so long as the proper force is applied. Additionally, this edge never needs to be resharpened, as it never grows dull or rolls, thus making it perfect for frontline combat. Light as Spring Rain Perhaps a quirk of its forging (or perhaps an intentional feature), Samidare is considerably lighter than a blade its size and length ought to be; while this would normally result in a less effective weapon, Samidare loses none of its integrity or cutting power, as it is somehow able to leverage the same amount of force through less mass. This lightness allows the user to swing the weapon about with much greater speed for the same amount of physical exertion. Chakra Conduction Being Chakra Conductive, Samidare is capable of channeling all types of Chakra for use in Bukijustu, and, more particularly, it has a slight affinity for Raiton chakra thanks to Sora’s constant use of the blade for that purpose. This affinity does not do anything of real note, but it does feel as if the blade were more eager to drink in Raiton Chakra than other types. |
