[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Matoi hurried along the path, panting slightly behind her mask as she ran. This was a race against time and the young kunoichi didn’t want to waste any of it. The moment the orders had been sent out and the small team assembled, they had been ushered out of the Village and on their way. There had been little in the way of introductions other than names being thrown out.

She was a little disappointed that she wasn’t going on a mission with her normal team, but she didn’t mind being teamed up with a more senior genin from a different team. But beyond him being older than her, Yamamoto Shosuke was a mystery to Matoi. As she probably was to him.

But on the road, as they were, they had a few moments between them as they ran towards their destination. Maybe they could clear some of the air between them and get to know one another. It would be beneficial to know each other’s skills if they were going to be working together.

"Yamamoto-san, should we go over the mission and our skills?" she asked, muffled slightly against her mask. "Come up with a plan before we intercept the target?"

[Yamamoto Shosuke]

When Shosuke had agreed to go on his first mission since his injury, he had rather imagined that he would be given some sort of slow and sedate job. Something like training kids or helping an old woman cross the road or... well, anything that wasn't super active. After all, every jounin had hundreds of D-rank missions under their belts, there was surely no hurry to put him directly in the line of fire immediately, right?

Well, if one had supposed that, they would have been completely wrong as it turns out the first job that Sho was given was dealing with some attempted escapee.

In truth, Sho had no idea what this guy had even done to get him pursued by members of the village, all he knew was that it was his job to take them out. Or, at least, take them in. As much as he would like to be more sedate, Sho found himself being all but forced to sprint, his old lab coat flapping behind him as he moved. He was not as fast as he might be, having to give himself a seconds delay or so in order for him to be able to scan the area, but he was still moving faster than he would like.

Fortunately, it seemed like he was not the only person who had been given this particular duty. Running alongside him was another figure, the woman that he had been assigned as a teammate. In his case, he had done mission after mission with eclectic groups of people, some of whom weren't even from Kumo in the first place, so he was more used to it than she seemed, but this was still a new person to him.

With his eyes still as limited as they were, he couldn't see a lot of details about her, but his sensing abilities made up for that to a certain degree. She was small, almost half a foot or so smaller than he was, with long heir held up with some sort of bow. Her clothes seemed relatively modern, at least from what he could tell, but as for colour? He had absolutely no clue. All he knew was that she was bright and colourful, and even that was just the vague shapes he could see beyond his deliberately darkened shades.

On Sho's behalf, he was dressed rather strangely for a ninja. Wearing a long white labcoat and medical fatigues, it was clear that his specialty was in medicine. However, the thick black shades that he was wearing at the bridge of his nose made it clear that something was wrong with his eyes. Even still, he seemed to be conducting himself pretty well for a blind man running.

"You don't-" Sho began, pausing for a moment as he readjusted his trajectory, noting an upcoming dip in the road that he would have otherwise tripped over. "- have to be so formal. What, are you going to call me Doctor next?" he asked, trying to maintain at least a veneer of friendliness by making a joke.

"Sho's fine. Anyway, I won't be much help. Still blind as a bat. Just think of me as here to back you up and ensure that this guy doesn't do any serious damage to you."

It was a lie, of course. Or at the very least an oversimplification. It was true that his eyes had yet to heal but to say that he was completely useless would have been cruel if it had been said about anyone else. In truth, he just didn't want her banking on his abilities when even he wasn't sure what he was still capable of. What meager training he had done with Eri to keep his senses sharp had been focused on updating and improving his blindsight, rather than his ninjutsu.

If she relied on him too much in this state and got injured... well, he wasn't sure what he would do.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]At Shosuke’s request to not be so formal, Matoi was silent for a moment but then nodded. "Okay, Sho-san," she said, using his preferred name but still not dropping the honorific. She was raised to respect her elders, even if they were only a few years older. And despite being the same rank, Shosuke was the more experienced of the two of them.

The "doctor” joke sailed over her head. She didn’t get why she would call him doctor. He was a genin after all, and not even in the medic corps. She assumed, anyway, since he was fulfilling missions alongside her.

The two continued on their way, Matoi listening to the young man’s answer to her questions. She almost tripped over her own feet when he admitted that he was nearly blind. She had just assumed the darkened glasses were a simple fashion choice - like the fancy lab coat. The girl didn’t know if this was a sort of insult or a vote of confidence in her skills.

Matoi was gonna go with the latter.

"Understood," she replied. "I’ll do my best to make things easy for you." She hadn’t expected to be carrying the weight on this mission, but if that was what the higher up expected of her, she would do her best to carry out her duties with aplomb.

As they ran, Matoi pulled out a map scroll from her pouch and began looking it over. The genin had been told the general direction that the culprit had gone off with the stolen horse. They were making good time, but the distance was still pretty far. They would have to move faster if they were going to catch up.

"Come on, Sho-san," she said, wanting to put on another burst of speed but not wanting to put too much of a strain on her partner. "Not far now. A little more speed and we’ll catch up in no time."

And there it was, she was still using the honorific. Part of Sho wanted to stop her, to tell her to quit it, that he wasn't deserving of such a respectful title as they were both still Genin, but he supposed that was a conversation for a different time. If she wanted to still lay on the airs and graces so much, he wasn't going to make her stop it. After all, it would be rude of him to do so and whilst he valued informality he also didn't want to come off as a boor.

That said, it seemed poor first impressions were unavoidable as she almost seemed to trip over herself finding out that he was blind. One of the few benefits that came with his blind-sense was an ability to read and understand emotions, and that meant that her attempt to conceal her surprise was meaningless. Good intentioned though, he would give her that, and thus spare her the awkwardness of having it pointed out.

Still, from her genuine surprise at his abilities (or lack thereof), it seemed she really had no idea who he was. Perhaps that was why she was so eager to rely on honorifics and respect to cover up the clear difference between them. It was something he had used in the past as well, trying to ingratiate himself with his colleagues and their superiors.

Without pausing, it seemed that Matoi was pulling out some paper from her bag. Though he couldn't see what was written on it, he assumed given the context that it was either their orders or a map of some variety. The latter was confirmed quickly as she seemed to take instruction from it, confirming they were on the right path.

"If you say so."

Despite her apparent concern for his condition, Shosuke seemed to catch on immediately as she began running, keeping up himself. He was a little worried that using any sort of speed technique, like a Shunshin, might cause him to move faster than his senses could catch up, but if it was just running like this he had no concern.

His blindsense projected outwards fast enough for him to avoid running into anything, and using her as a foci he was able to make sure that he was going in the right direction.

"So, they stole a horse?" Shosuke said, easily able to talk even as they ran. "I'm assuming they're not shinobi then, given that horses are irrelevant when you've got abilities like ours. Does that mean we're dealing with normal bandits?"

There was a pause for a moment, as if deep in thought, before adding. "What do we do with these guys once we catch them? Is this a "kill the criminals" situation or are we supposed to drag them back so they can serve time in jail?"

In his experience, almost every job that the Shinobi were given had an understanding that most enemies wouldn't survive. But it had seemed cruel, almost cowardly, to do so against enemies that could not fight back. If there was any wiggle room to keep them alive, he would do so.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Physical work wasn’t Matoi’s forte. She was strong, as was normal for a kunoichi, but she wasn’t as she could be. And her endurance was something that she needed to work on, but it wasn’t anything to turn your nose up at. Still, the running was having an effect on her, she could feel the muscles in her legs beginning to ache a little.

The two shinobi kept on the path, putting in good speed to catch up to their quarry. Not far now and they’d be hot on the trail.

Shosuke spoke up again, asking about the criminal they were chasing. Matoi nodded, but then remembered herself. "It seems that way," she answered back. "From what the report said, the target doesn’t have any extraordinary abilities. Though the stolen horse is mentioned to be faster than the normal stock and breed."

So they may have a little trouble getting the guy off the animal, but that was an issue for when they found their quarry.

But that didn’t mean that they didn’t have skills. The criminal had escaped from prison after all. They could be dangerous and the genin had to take that into account. "The mission order didn’t specify," she said. "I assume they wanted them back alive. But we’re allowed lethal force if necessary. I’d prefer to keep him alive, if at all possible."

Matoi wasn’t one to go straight for the lethal route. She’d never even killed anyone before and most of her jutsu were for speeding around the battlefield or debilitating an opponent, not lethality. She didn’t know what Shosuke was capable of, besides some medic stuff she was assuming from the "Doctor” comment, but she hoped he was of like mind.

The genin weren’t far away now. The sounds of high-pitched whinnying could be heard in the far distance. A little more of a push and the chances were they would be on their target.

[Yamamoto Shosuke]

It was good to get confirmation of his theory, though Shosuke had to admit that a part of him felt bad. Though chakra manipulation was far from a rare ability, there were certain people in the world who simply weren't capable of it. As such, whenever it came to fighting those people, it felt almost like bullying, as patently absurd as that might sound.

In his experience, the wealth of power between someone who was and someone who wasn't capable of such things was like night and day.

Even so, perhaps Matoi had a point. This guy had managed to escape prison, it wasn't like he was entirely defenseless. In fact, the very fact that he had managed to elude capture so far seemed to suggest that there was something with this guy that other people simply didn't have.

Though, maybe it was all just dumb luck. It certainly wouldn't be the first time someone inept had managed to slip out of prison, even if he couldn't remember when it had happened in the Land of Lightning.

Whatever the case, the man was a danger to himself and others as long as he remained on the lam, and so it didn't matter what one's feelings were about it. It was a job, and he had to do it.

Speaking of, from the sound of the distant whinnying, Shosuke could tell that they were getting near to their quarry. As they ran, his mind was beginning to catch up to his surroundings. It was almost like he was looking at a semi-detailed map, the very world itself being filled in by his movement within it. At the very edge of his vision, in fact, was a form that he was intent on studying.

The man in question, though Shosuke couldn't see his face, was a large one. His body seemed big enough that it almost dwarfed the horse in comparison. A less generous spirit might even call it comically small, its lithe and nimble frame not meant to take someone of this colossal figure. The man himself was drenched in muscle, built like some sort of tournament lifter or an oni from a children's fairytale. Upon the man's back sat a long, metallic tube, something that Shosuke had to assume based on its shape was a sword.

Okay, so this guy isn't going to make this easy for us... Better try and throw him off his game.

Reaching into his backpocket, Shosuke's hands fumbled around for a second, looking for something specific. Finally, with a small murmur of confirmation, he pulled out a small spheric orb wrapped in brown paper.

Anyone could see what it was with even a cursory glance - a flash bomb, designed for diversions, surprise attacks, or... well, or for what happened next.

Giving it a hard toss, the small paper sphere appeared right in front of the charging horse, going off with a small explosion. Immediately, the horse screamed out a panicked whinny, picking up speed as it began bucking and throwing itself this way and that in its panic as the man began to struggle to keep it from slipping out from under him.

As long as they kept the horse from running into other people, Shosuke thought, it was probably better for the man NOT to have control over it.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]The sounds of whinnying alerted the girl to their target being near. When the two shinobi came into view, Matoi only had two thoughts go through her mind. One was that the man was a lot more massive than she had thought he would be. Matoi had assumed that he would be some sort of sneaky criminal mastermind given that he had broken out of a prison, but this also made sense.

The second thought was worry for the poor horse that was bearing the monster of a man. It looked a few seconds away from collapsing under the weight of its rider. The only humane thing to do was to get the giant lug off of the creature before anything happened.

Shosuke seemed to be in the same mindset. Movement out of the corner of her eye showed that the boy was digging something from his pouch. She followed it with her eyes as he tossed it towards the horse and rider and immediately regretted it as the flash bomb went off.

Matoi blinked hard against the bright light, seeing stars. She shook it off quickly even as the horse panicked from the bright light and loud noise. It was her turn to contribute to the fray. Violet lightning crackled around the girl as she used the body flicker technique to get in close.

With a handseal, the girl shoulder-checked into the big guy and the lightning arced from Matoi and into the rider, causing his muscles to seize from the pain. Combined with the bucking horse, it sent the man flying from the animal to land hard on the ground. The horse let out a terrified neigh and bolted, while the man convulsed in pain.

Matoi twisted midair and landed against a nearby boulder. She pulled out Rakurai as the man recovered from the convulsing the discharge caused. He got to his feet with a growl and pulled out a large sword from a sheath on his back. Well, that makes things more fun.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Shunshin no Jutsu [Body Flicker Technique]

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.

Raiton: Hōden Suru [Lightning Release: Discharge]

Raiton energy is sent through an object held in direct contact by the user. Raiton energy excites the atoms that make up the object to the point were it visibly emanates electricity. The raiton cloak in turn uses the same energy to discharge multiple currents of electricity in pulse-like intervals. This leads the object to let out extremely painful currents of electricity for up to a foot away from point of contact; while causing moderate electrical burns at the point of contact.

[Yamamoto Shosuke]

In retrospect, it might have honestly been better if Shosuke had warned Matoi before he had thrown that. He had imagined that she would recognize the brown parcel and look away before the worst of it went off, but it would appear that that was not the case. However, warning her would have had a similar issue - what if he had warned her and the escapee had also heard the warning and taken preventative measures? What did one do in a situation like this?

Either way, it seemed Matoi quickly recovered from the flash and moved in to help with the quickly changing situation. Using a body flicker, Matoi launched herself at the man and sent him flying off the horse, with the horse moving to bolt off without its rider. The gambit had worked, but without anyone to control the horse the horse seemed liable to plow into the crowd that was gathering from the sounds of the commotion.

In that moment, Sho had a choice to make - did he aid Matoi with the thug who was starting to pick himself back up and put himself back together, or did he deal with the horse? It didn't look like it was about to stop, and whilst most shinobi of the village could probably get out of the way without an issue, if there were any civilians nearby they would get trampled underfoot (or underhoof in this specific situation).

Cursing under his breath, Sho followed Matoi's lead, shooting forwards with a Body Flicker technique. However, in his case, his goal was simply to get ahead of the horse, breaking out of the flicker once he had a few moments' worth of space ahead of the horse. Tossing out some handsigns, his hands began to become engorged, wrapping themselves within layer upon layers of vines to create enormous, gauntlet-like gloves of vegetation.

Reaching forwards with one of those gloves, he was able to put a barrier between the horse and the path in front of it, pushing against it. He gave some wiggle room, allowing himself to be dragged a small distance to prevent the horse from hitting a hard barrier and flipping over it like an out of control wagon, but within a moment or two he was able to get the horse to stay still.

"There's a good boy; you're gonna be okay. That mean man isn't going to be able to hurt you any more."


It was in moments like this that he wished he was able to speak to animals. This would have been a whole lot more convenient if this had been one of those talking animals like Miroru's foxes...

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: Mokuton: Budōnoki no Te [Wood Release: Vine Hands]
RANK: B
CHAKRA USAGE: Medium, Low Drain
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Mokuton
HANDSEALS: 6
DECRIPTION:
By using kneading the chakra, the user is able to transform his tissues into vine-like constructs. Then, by activating the vines, stimulating them to grow rapidly, they lengthen at high speed ending in hands composed by durable vines that can be manipulated as if they were composed of actual digits, with this the user is able to use the wine-arms like whips or by even grasp objects with finesses as well swing themselves from above the ground. If the technique receives damage at the base of the technique below the elbow, the damage is transferred to the user.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]The giant of a man swung the sword at her with a roar, but the metal struck only stone as the girl used another Body Flicker to get out of the line of danger. She twisted around to the back of the man and aimed a kick at the back of his knee. It was like kicking a tree trunk and the impact throbbed up her leg as she connected, but the man did drop down to a knee.

Shosuke, it seemed, decided to take care of the horse so that the animal didn’t hurt any of the onlookers that were gathering. It worried Matoi, she didn’t want any hostage situations cropping up, so she would need to get the man under control as quickly as possible.

Shifting his hold on the sword, the man swung it in a large arc, trying to get behind himself and swipe at the kunoichi’s legs. All it met was lightning as Matoi shifted into her Lightning Body. The man obviously wasn’t expecting the girl to turn to lightning, stumbling slightly in shock as he got to his feet. Or maybe that was the residual electrical shock.

Launching forward as a crackling form of energy, the man tried to futilely swing his sword at Matoi as she moved through his body and sent out bolts of lightning to paralyze the criminal. His muscles convulsed, but he didn’t drop like she had wanted.

As she came out of lightning form, back turned to him, a big mistake on her part. The man let out a roar and seemingly powered through the paralyzation and swung around, his fist connecting to the side of the girl’s face. She let out a cry and stumbled forward, dropping to a knee. With a wicked grin on his face, the criminal brought up his sword again and began to swing down on the girl.

Kami no Bodi Kaminari [Divine Lightning Body]

The pinnacle of being a Tetsumaki. By using the iron rich blood within a Testumaki, the raiton stored within the body the user can quite literally transform either their whole body (organs included) or parts of the body into pure lightning. This makes physical attacks nigh on impossible to connect properly since the opponent is quite literally punching lightning.

The Tetsumaki in this form can use conductive surfaces to transfer themselves through, including but not limited to metals, water and other reactive surfaces. A bonus to this technique is the ability to move at increased speeds in straight lines (add one rank's speed plus a speed SA). The user cannot turn while using this part of the technique, so if one can match the speed or perceive it, it could easily be dodged.

As with all lightning techniques, Kami no Bodi Kaminari has a natural weakness to mokuton techniques. Fuuton techniques can expel the Tetsumaki from the form. Physical attacks from the user are also null unless using clan jutsu specifically for said attacks.

Mahi No Jutsu [Paralyzation Technique]

Propelling themselves forward to meet in close combat, the Tetsumaki dashes through the opponent with enough energy to paralyze the muscles and shock the opponent for a few seconds. This renders the victim unable to use their body for those precious few seconds, setting the Tetsumaki up for another debilitating attack.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]『Divine Lightning Body』

Having accessed the Clan's hijutsu at a rather young age, she's spent her years learning to master The Storm. She is able to transform part or the entirety of her body using the Divine Lightning Body and is able to pass through objects that are reactive to lightning. Practically the embodiment of lightning, she can use her skills to increase the speed, reactions and fighting capability significantly.

She becomes part of The Storm itself, giving her near immunity to other Raiton-based attacks. The caveat of this is she is incapable of learning any other elemental natures outside of her natural Raiton.

『Purple Lightning』

Having spent several years training her ability in using ninjutsu, specifically Raiton, few of her age has reached the level of mastery she has.

Some may call the element erratic and dangerous, but she has complete control over the bolts of energy she can create. Not only are the raiton techniques which Matoi utilizes much more powerful than standard, they're also a bright purple in color.

[Yamamoto Shosuke]

Taking the horse by the reigns, Sho took but a brief moment to scan the area around him before finding what he was looking for - a small fence that separated two properties. It was a tiny thing, barely up to Shosuke's waist, but the size didn't matter. It was clearly sturdy and dug in pretty deep, and it would make sure to hold the horse tight whilst they dealt with the larger problem.

A quick series of knots later and the horse was securely tied. However, Sho was dealing with a problem of his own - he was able to see physical objects, but every time Matoi shifted into her lightning form he lost track of her. It was like an incomplete circuit, she would just appear and disappear from his senses with active regularity, making it harder and harder to keep track of the fight.

Fortunately, the one that he most needed to keep track of was the bandit with the sword. In his mindscape, Sho was able to see how he seemed to shrug off his injuries, turning to land a strike against the young Utagawa. The strike hit home, knocking her out of her lightning form and onto the ground, giving him the perfect chance to bring his sword up and cut her down.

Or, at least, it would have done, were Sho not standing there.

In the moment where the sword would have been brought down on her, in the space between the two combatants suddenly stood what appeared to be a solid pane of glass. The sword came into contact with it and stopped, all of the momentum transferred into the wall and yet appearing to do absolutely nothing to its stability or its integrity.

The bandit's face contorted into a look of rage and disgust at someone having interrupted his strike, taken his prey from him, and moved to sprint around the wall to continue his crusade but the damage had already been done. The man had already lost his momentum and Matoi was given the time she needed to respond.

What was more, Sho's hands had already shot to his belt, drawing out a series of kunai that were launched the moment the man successfully made it past the wall. He doubted any of them would actually land home but they forced him into a defensive position, keeping him off-balance and giving Matoi time to handle this properly.

"You doing okay, kid?" Sho asked, his tone one of genuine concern. "I don't think I can give medical treatment to someone with a body like yours so try not to get hit too hard. Makes my job of patching you up later a lot harder if you do."

NAME: Kekkai: Kabe (Barrier: Wall)
RANK: D
TECH TYPE: universal | Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: None
CHAKRA USAGE:Very low - Very High depending on size of wall/ Very Low to maintain
DESCRIPTION:
The user creates a solid wall like barrier that appears almost instantly anywhere within a 15ft radius. The wall itself is highly durable and requires D ranked jutsu power to shatter anything lower would simply be ineffective against the wall if not outright break after coming in contact with it, with weapons would need to be empowered with chakra to do any damage though that are not are ineffective with projectiles harmless clattering down to the ground. The wall can be sprung up in a moments notice and the shape and size of it varies depending on the users preference and chakra use (anywhere between 5ft and 15ft tall). As many walls can be made as the user wishes to make (or have the chakra to make) however the plus side is that once the walls are created they take no chakra to maintain. Requires three hand seals.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]To say Matoi’s life flashed before her eyes would be putting it lightly. She saw all of her short existence and was honestly somewhat disappointed with her lack of achievements. She had so much more to accomplish, so it was beyond lucky that Shosuke came in clutch with a barrier jutsu.

As the sword’s swing halted in midair, the girl let out a sigh of relief, quickly clambering back up to her feet. Thanks for the save, she said. Eyeing the barrier, she noted how it was a handy thing and made a mental note to possibly learn it or something similar in the future. But it wasn’t an infallible barrier, and the bandit quickly made his way around the edge of the wall to try and get at the two shinobi.

Shosuke’s kunai flew to meet him, but with his poor eyesight, several flew a little wide and those that flew true were batted away with another swing of the sword. They went flying and almost hit a few of those gathering. They needed to get this man under control quickly, before someone got hurt.

She cracked her knuckles and lightning crackled around her as she activated her trump card. Let’s do this, she said, and launched forward in a blur of violet lightning. It was almost impossible to follow her path as she ran at the man. She pulled Rakurai out and, using its whip form, wrapped around the blade as the man swung at her again. She easily moved out of the way, preventing the blade from striking her.

Matoi yanked, pulling the man and his blade off of their trajectory, but he still retained a death grip on the sword. How annoying. She twisted on her foot, pivoting so she was pulling on the sword and swinging her leg in a high kick towards the man’s head. It connected with a satisfying crack and finally the man let go of the blade in his disoriented state.

The blade went skittering across the ground as Matoi flung it away with a flick of her wrist, untangling it from Rakurai. She ran forward again, letting herself become one with the Storm again and shot her lightning form through the man once again, sending a large surge of electricity through him. This time she remained vigilant and skipped thoroughly out of th man’s reach before reforming. She twisted around, Rakurai in dager form as she waited to see what the man would do.

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]Lightning Release Chakra Mode: Stage One [Raiton Chakura Mōdo: Sutēji Ichi]

The user wraps their body in a cloak of Raiton though not used offensively, the cloak is used to stimulate the users nervous system. Speeding up neural synapses to react faster, as well as pushing the users body to its absolute limit, allowing for tremendous raw speed, a speed which makes even a one tomoe Sharingan user confused as to the user's whereabouts. The increase in speed comes with a great level of fatigue attached with it making this a jutsu best suited to be used when needed and not spammed throughout the entirety of a fight (though it can be used that way its highly dangerous). It is effectively an armor that surrounds the user allowing them to brush off and B-rank and below Raiton techniques and also C-rank and lower Physical attacks.

This jutsu improves on the basis of the Lighting Release Body Flicker and makes it a more longer lasting affect (2 rounds) with more more refined increases. But also much more costly price as over use in one fight could overexert the user causing the body to shut down in due to crippling pain.

Acts as an elongated Shunshin technique. The user can move at shunshin speeds with the above benefits for 2 rounds with one High usage of Chakra. This can be used four times total during a thread, each time tiring out the body of the user. After the fourth time, their muscles are completely deteriorated.

[Yamamoto Shosuke]

It seemed like Shosuke still needed a bit of practice throwing projectiles whilst using this type of vision. Despite his usual accuracy, it seemed that this time the shot went wide. Fortunately, it did the job of keeping the bandit distracted and nobody actually got hit by the errant kunai, but he would need to be more careful in the future.

Meanwhile, everything seemed to be wrapping up rather quickly. The bandit might have been a danger to civilians with his sword skills, but both of them seemed to be outclassing the would-be bandit. For the moment, Sho stood back, letting the close-combat specialist show off what she was capable of, pulling the man's sword out of the way and making sure that he couldn't do anything with it, before going in for the kill.

In the end, it all seemed to be over in a matter of seconds.

With Matoi finding absolutely no difficulty in overwhelming the man with her lightning techniques, the man was soon paralysed and unable to do anything but twitch for a few seconds. In those few seconds, Shosuke shot in himself. This time, however, he shot in with a kunai, pausing only for the briefest of seconds before bringing it down and slashing across the back of the man's legs.

It was a simple but ultimately brutal strike. By slicing through the tendons in the back of the man's leg, he would find it impossible to move or put any weight on that leg. The man had been hamstrung, and indeed the moment that he was able to move again from the paralysis he would find himself collapsing to the ground, blood violently gushing out of the back of his leg.

"I would advise against moving," Sho said, his voice cold and calm, apparently having taken the moment he watched the fight to recover himself and to resume his usual, calculating persona.

"The more you move, the more you're going to agitate that injury. Now, if you're a good boy and you stay still, I'm sure one of the nice medi-nin back at Azakaya are going to be able to patch that up again and you'll be able to walk again. But if you move too much, they're going to find it much harder to keep everything in working order. You wouldn't want to become a cripple would you?"

As if to emphasize the point, Sho's knee had gone down on the other's back, using his body weight to force the man down onto the ground, hard. Nothing he had said had been a lie, but given the amount of adrenaline running through his body he was almost certainly going to refuse to listen to reason.

[PTab=Post]

[attr="class","lightbluetext"]In the aftermath of the scuffle, with the bandit subdued and the immediate danger neutralized, Matoi and Shosuke found themselves with a brief moment of reprieve. Matoi exchanged a look with Shosuke, her eyes reflecting a mix of gratitude and respect. Shosuke, for his part, appeared composed, his earlier intervention with the barrier and subsequent disabling of the bandit showcasing a level of skill and calm under pressure that spoke volumes of his experience and capability, despite his visual impairment.

As the dust settled and the sounds of the skirmish faded into the background, replaced by the distant murmur of the crowd that had gathered, Matoi couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. They had worked together seamlessly, complementing each other's strengths and compensating for the other's weaknesses. It was a testament to the versatility and adaptability of shinobi, even when thrown together with little to no prior coordination.

"Now," Matoi began, turning her attention back to the task at hand, her voice steady but carrying an underlying edge of urgency, "we need to secure the bandit and report back. There's also the matter of the stolen horse. It's imperative we return it to its rightful owner."

Their mission seemed to be close to being over, and while the successful capture of the bandit was a significant achievement, Matoi knew that there were still procedures to follow, reports to be filed, and potentially more information to be gleaned from their captive regarding his escape and activities. It was all part of the life of a shinobi - the action and excitement were only one aspect of their duties.

As they set to work, securing the bandit and making preparations to return to the village, Matoi couldn't help but wonder what other challenges and adventures awaited her. Each mission was a learning experience, a step towards becoming a stronger, more skilled kunoichi. With the bandit in tow and the horse secured, Matoi and Shosuke began the journey back to the prison, their steps steady and determined.
