The enemy came in slowly, clearly hesitant at taking on such large prey; but as it got closer, the men began to scramble, barking out orders and moving in a flurry of activity that drew the galleon into the illusion that she was just a decommissioned warship hauling freight. Time moved at a crawl but, eventually, the enemy ship got close enough to begin attack procedures- and that was when the trap was sprung. Motioning for her helmsman to change course, Seika smiled, maintaining her footing as the engines, which had been barely above idle, churned to life, the
Iron Moon lurching towards the galleon far faster than anything its size had a right to move.
Four knots became ten, then fifteen, then
twenty-one as the warship surged forwards, its steel prow cutting through the water as the captain of the galleon realized, too late, what was happening. Minutes flew by as both ships maneuvered, the galleon trying to flee before the worst could happen- but steam engines were faster than sails, particularly when going against the wind, and after half an hour the two ships were perilously close, the Moon’s prow barely twenty meters from the smaller wooden ship’s stern.
"Prepare to salvage!” Seika yelled once they got close, her voice echoing through the air as she blurred through a series of hand seals, cremating both her arms and thrusting them forwards, white flames coalescing into a seething, twisting torrent of fire that took the shape of a ten meter long dragon. Directing her creation up with a thought, the Nakajima smiled, allowing the enemy ship a moment of hope before she sent the beast down through the center of the bloody thing, smashing it to pieces and throwing up a massive steam that shattered the wood and sent debris everywhere.
Because this had never been about taking the ship. This had been about the men, and what loot they could gather.
Uchiha MiroruCombat InfoJutsu Used:
NAME: Haini: Karyu [Cremation: Fire Dragon]
RANK: S
CHAKRA USAGE: Very High [Very High to maintain]
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu
ELEMENT: Katon
HANDSEALS: 15
REQUIREMENT: Nakajima Clan Hijutsu SA, Haini no Jutsu
DESCRIPTION: One of the Nakajima Clan’s most powerful techniques, Karyu is based off of the Water Dragon technique, but with an added twist- rather than merely summon a dragon of fire, the user becomes one, transforming two of their limbs into a ten meter long dragon of pure flame that they are still able to control. Merely touching the flames of this jutsu is enough to cause third-degree burns, while direct contact for any extended period will cause severe fourth degree burns and, if it is maintained, will begin to melt even Ranmataru steel in just a few (six) rotations. While their limbs are in this form, the user is still able to take damage from chakra based attacks as normal, though they may reform their limbs at any time, ending the technique. Any Fuuton based technique A-rank or higher is capable of killing the user while in this state.
Special Abilities:
The Other White Flame [Nakajima Hijutsu SA]
Seika, either through a twist of fate or simply good genetics, has inherited the coveted power of the White Flame, the highest ranked color of Flame within the Nakajima clan, and it shows. Fire is not merely a part of her- she is fire, a living embodiment of all it means to be flame, and as such her ability with her clan’s Hijutsu is second to none; she can switch between her flame body and real one with near instantaneous ease (though this does not low the chakra cost), and can stay in it for quite awhile. While in her flame body, she is completely impervious to all forms of physical damage, though Chakra enhanced attacks (particularly Fuuton based) can still injure her. In this state, she is able to heal herself using any natural fire nearby, absorbing it into her flame body.
Yuki’s Fire-Flower [Enhanced Katon Ninjutsu SA - Power]
From nearly the moment she could walk, Seika has had an affinity with Katon that far surpasses the norm, even for a Nakajima. Her Katon Ninjutsu, and in particular her Nakajima Hijutsu, burn hotter than even the most powerful of her clan, granting her Katon-based Ninjutsu a significant boost in raw power over others of her rank, so much so that she is nearly on another level of power. Additionally, Seika can switch between the four different flames of her Clan’s Hijutsu almost at will, but rarely does so, preferring to use her White Flames almost exclusively. Katon Ninjutsu (including Nakajima Hijutsu) used by Seika are roughly 25% more powerful than normal, and cost 10% more to use.
The Burning Death [Enhanced Nakajima Hijutsu SA]
As one of only two people in all the world to possess the White Flame of the Nakajima, Seika’s flames are… unique, to say the least. Though others of her clan do not believe it, the truth of the matter is that Seika’s flames are not merely hot, they are beyond anything her clan has ever seen, capable of burning even setting other chakra-based creations aflame, up to and including other Katon Ninjutsu, eventually subsuming them into itself. This does not allow Seika to absorb any form of chakra, nor does it allow her to work around using only normal fire to heal her body when in her Flame Body form- rather, it allows her to burn Ninjutsu as if it were a physical thing, eating away at it until it becomes nothing but ash. This takes two rotations per rank of the Jutsu, and requires that said jutsu be continuously engulfed in her flames.
Burning Speed [Enhanced Speed SA]
Because of her familiarity with life and death situations, Seika has made it a point to train herself in the art of moving quickly, and is quite a bit faster than many would expect of such a non-physical Shinobi, outspeeding others of her rank by a fair bit without even trying.
Flickering Flame [Reaction Time SA]
Seika has spent the vast majority of her life fighting -first as a Shinobi of Yukigakure, then as a Nuke-nin from said village- and as such has been forced into situations where her ability to react to an opponent’s move is the difference between life and death, now more so than ever. Because of this, Seika has developed an incredible reaction time, far faster than that of others of her rank, and is capable of thinking through problems at a much faster rate, allowing her to deal with multiple opponents on the fly without breaking a sweat.
Sea of Chakra Flames [Enhanced Chakra Reserves SA]
Seika’s Chakra reserves are vast for a woman of her rank, far beyond those of a normal Kunoichi, and as such she is able to use high-level techniques for far longer, and at a much quicker rate, than most anyone of her rank could.
Equipment:
Seika's Dress
A sleek red silk dress made for Seika before she deserted from Yukigakure, the dress itself is stunning, sporting long-sleeves that hang loosely from her shoulders. Made of Waruichi silk, the dress has been enhanced by the Nakajima clan’s tailors and even has seals put in place by Seika herself, making it a very useful tool for carrying goods even when she doesn’t wear her cloak.
The dress itself has a short hem that stops just above the middle of her thighs, with a long train of narrow cloth on the left side that leaves most of her legs exposed. The dress is tight around her bust and hangs off her shoulders, showing off much of her cleavage. The edges are decorated by golden filigree work, particularly around the bodice, it is hemmed by black lacework, and sports a hidden pouch inside the bodice.
SA's
Owari Nenshou [Katon Reactive]
Seika’s dress, having been made by the Nakajima, is fully Katon-reactive and allows her to funnel Katon Ninjutsu through it without burning it to ashes. More specifically, Seika has practiced with it to such a degree that she can utilize Haini: Hidama (Cremation: Falling Star) without being in her Flame body.
Lightning Flash Blade Creation Seal [Chakra Reactive]
After her desertion for Yukigakure, Seika altered her dress in order to better utilize it in combat, inking in permanent seals along the inside of the left and right sleeves. These seals can hold a surprising amount, and are easily accessible for most any situation.
Seika's Cloak
A hooded cloak of black silk that reaches down to the feet, obscuring the user's form. The cloak itself seems fairly ordinary, but actually has two pockets sewn into the inside, both of which hold permanent versions of the Lightning Flash Blade Creation Seal, allowing her to carry much more than normal.
SA's
Cloak of Invisibility (Chakra Reactive)
Made of a special chakra reactive silk, Seika’s cloak offers a unique ability that few Shinobi see coming; by channeling her raw, unfiltered Chakra through the cloak, Seika is able to utilize the Meisaigakure no Jutsu [Hiding with Camouflage Technique] through the cloth, as well as allowing her maintain it with greater ease during movement. This ensures that Seika will always be able to vanish should the need arise.
Limitless Pockets
Seika’s Cloak, much like her dress, has been altered during her time as a Missing-nin to include the Generic Storage Seal inside its pockets, allowing her to carry a great deal more in the way of ninja tools without having to ruin her look with bulky pouches or garish belts.
Seika's Heels
A pair of black, seemingly normal heels. These shoes, however, are actually made of a special material created by the Nakajima that allows the user to make them a part of the Flame-body without destroying them. They add 3” to Seika’s height.
SA's
Haini Reactive
Seika’s heels are made of special material developed by the Nakajima clan for use in clan uniforms; as such, they are capable of being transformed into part of her flame body as if they were an actual, physical part of her, and can be used to form Nakajima clan techniques. More specifically, these heels allow Seika to perform the Baku Sanpo [Explosive Step] technique through them without being in her flame body.
