His shuriken flew true to his target, but Tsubasa wasn't sure what to do now. So he would resurface slightly to get a better view of the battlefield and it seemed his teammates were locked in combat. Meaning he wasn't being targeted and this sort of annoyed him. Was he not worth the time of day? Whatever it didn't matter if they were all going to be in one-on-one scrimmages then Tsubasa would happily oblige to this tactic. Getting out of the water as quietly and stealthily as he could he continued down the field towards enemy territory sticking to the south side and using the bushes as cover for himself hoping to stay as hidden as possible.

Once he got to the opposite edge of the brush he would pick his head out slightly to take a glimpse at the opponent's flagpole and see a lone defender atop it. Tsubasa figured this was the one known as Tota who was supposed to be good at Taijutsu so Tsubasa couldn't get too close especially since there was no telling what the other kid could do. Yet if they wanted to win they needed the flag so he decided to take a risk and go for it. Creating the hand seal for a substitution jutsu before he even left his hiding spot Tsubasa would begin his assault by chucking the three shuriken he held onto before towards the boy while rushing him. This time he would be holding a kunai in each hand to make his assault even more threatening.

prepares a substitution jutsu before launching three shuriken
then jumps out of bushes and rushes Tota with two kunai in hand

NAME: Kawarimi no Jutsu [Body Replacement Technique]
RANK: E
CHAKRA USAGE: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Ninjutsu [General]
ELEMENT: None
HANDSEALS: 5
DESCRIPTION:
After performing the necessary hand seals (one post prior to the technique's use) and locating a nearby object within a 10 meter radius (typically a log or something of similar size to their body.), the user switches places with the said object just before an attack lands, creating an optical illusion. During the small interval where they have left their opponent surprised, they may take the time to attack or flee.

If there was one thing Dansui couldn't deny, it's that Risa was very good at close combat. She had easily seen his sweep coming and had proceeded to attempt to stomp on Dansui's other foot. Dansui managed to pivot just enough to where the force of her stomp only managed to hit his pinky toe. In the process of their fight, Dansui had been hit by three shuriken in the back. He hadn't noticed the pain until now, but he wouldn't let that stop him! Though he was curious as to where the shuriken had come from. The lake, maybe? Or the trees? He couldn't be sure but he made sure to be more attentive for the rest of the fight.

Still being in close range, Dansui would lift his foot and slam it down with immense pressure, aiming for Risa's toes. The girl would likely recognize this jutsu as Kaitai Fumitsukeru [Dismantling step] on Risa's left foot, aiming to disrupt her balance before aiming a kick at her side. It was obvious that Risa was serious, and Dansui would never dishonor his friend by holding back. He would finish by taking one of the shuriken from his back and throwing it at Risa's stomach. "Remember when we trained on our bukijutsu?" The boy would continue to try feeding Risa's doubts.

If Yosei realized he was being purposefully led away from the mission objective was somewhat hard to tell, mostly since he hadn't shown anything resembling an interest in the thing since he'd rushed the white haired boy. And when the hat wearing kid managed to block his attack, he only got more into this fight. A wicked smile on his face, helped by the fact that the attempts to interrupt were foiled, the black haired boy finally having looked back when a rock whizzed past him towards his target. It wasn't a look back made out of concern for his teammates, but to see just who'd tried to 'help' him. And to his complete lack of surprise, it was Tota. That was fine though, simply more motivation for when he managed to have that "talk" he'd been wanting with the small boy. Alone.

But for now, he'd focus on the fight in front of him. The fight all too himself, the fight he was definitely going to enjoy as he kept pushing. The boy in front if him wasn't putting up much of a fight, focusing entirely on defense instead of offense. And the scar covered boy's smirk grew. Whats wrong? Afraid to make a move? It was maybe some of the most enthusiastic the usually calmer boy sounded, definitely coming alive in violence. And this lack of fighting back made him want to commit more violence, to truely press him. So he became more aggressive, more dominating as he kept trying to break through the boys admittedly strong and sturdy guard. You can't win just by blocking alone! And as if to prove his point, he finally used some of that Taijutsu knowledge in that head of his beyond pure aggression. A kick at the boys leg joint, using his medical knowledge to try and pinpoint a weakness to exploit.

And then he'd follow up that attempt to hobble the boy with a grab, not grappling him but grabbing him by the throat outright. And following it by a much more controlled, yet still highly vicious Haymaker to the face as he tried to hold him still for it. He wanted to feel the blood flow down from the face to the neck, feel the warmth. It wouldn't be black blood, but red blood was still one of his favorite things.


-Is Yosei letting himself be kited away from the flag, or does he really not realize what tricks being pulled? It's hard to tell
-Yosei's getting even more into it now that Tsugime blocked his punch. Also is happy Totas attempts to interfere were a bust, but he'll deal with Tota in due time
-Tsugime isn't fighting back, and while Yosei doesn't stop attacking he does point out defense won't win alone
-To prove his point, attacks Tsugime's leg joint with a kick and medical knowledge for placement, trying to hobble him momentarily
-Tries to grab his throat after the kick to hold him, as he follows with a Haymaker straight to the face, this one far more controlled than rest his attacks

Holding steady onto the pole, Tota watched as the two skirmishes between his teammates unfolded. He wasn't at all surprised by the tenacity shown by Yosei, all too familiar with the boys' eagerness for bloodshed. However he didn't expect the show of skill from Risa as she took the initiative and forced Dansui onto their back foot. He carefully took note of the outcome, readying himself to engage her if she managed to slip past his best-friend. He yelled from atop the mast with words of encouragement for his comrade and fellow orphan. "You got this, Dansui! There's no way you'll lose to her! Show her what you've got! " He screamed.

After finish clamming, Tota's eyes quickly scanned the area as he saw subtle yet unmistakable movement in the waters to his right. He tried to follow the shadows and fluttering of bushes, focusing on any minute detail. 'It must be Tsubasa' Tota thought to himself. Wrapping his arm around the metal steel of the pole and gripping onto it tightly between his elbow, Tota preformed another set of handseals. Before Tsubasa could begin to rush him, two exact clones of Tota appeared; one concealing the original. During the short period he was concealed in the cover of smoke, Tota took the opportunity to take his teams flag and shove it inside his jacket. Tota thought it a smart plan, as there was no rule against it and any pontential opponent would need to best him in taijutsu to attain the flag. It would be almost instantly after, three shuriken would come flying toward him. In quick response, Tota would loosen his grip on the flag pole, sliding down quickly to avoid being hit and shortly followed by his clones.

Dansui pivoted just enough to avoid the brunt of her stomp, though she felt just the barest edge of his foot beneath hers—probably caught one of his toes or something. Then he used her own technique against her, stomping down on her own instep in turn.

It hurt—but it didn’t hurt more than getting cold-clocked in the face by Kyoka, punched so hard that she hit the ground and saw stars. Risa gritted her teeth, cemented herself in place, and tried to wrap her arm around Dansui’s leg when he kicked her, aiming to grapple him in place for just long enough.

Even the training shuriken to the gut she just took—seizing an opportunity to double down on her advantage, Risa let out an exaggerated cry of pain, latching onto Dansui with the fake blood genjutsu and making it seem as though a spray of blood erupted from a wound in her stomach, splattering all over Dansui’s leg and arm and clothes. She lost the transformation technique as a result, which irritated her—she thought it was a good gambit, and she hated to see it go to waste.

She hoped to use the opening she created to be able to kick his other leg in a low sweep and force him to fall backwards with the gentle breeze technique, then follow him to the ground to perform a downed strike with one of her own training kunai.

"We were stupid kids,” she said, panting with the effort she was exerting. "I know better now.”

tl;dr:
- Risa takes the stomp on her foot like a champ
- tries to catch Dansui's leg in a classic taekwondo grapple
- takes the shuriken to her stomach like a champ, uses it to deploy a genjutsu
- between caught leg + genjutsu, hopes to have an opening to use the gentle breeze technique to sweep Dansui to the ground
- Risa is both a tai and buki specialist but we're going for the "downed strike" option if successful, for the theming

NAME: Ikamono Tsurugi [Fake Blood]
RANK: E
CHAKRA USAGE: To Use: Very Low | To Maintain: Very Low
CLASSIFICATION: Genjutsu
ELEMENT: -
HANDSEALS: 0
REQUIREMENT: Auditory
DESCRIPTION:

Another extremely simple technique to utilize, but very effective when used under the correct circumstances. Originally thought up to be used on children to help them get over their fear of blood the technique has proven to be useful in combat. Perfect for distracting opponent, putting fear into them or best yet, making them lower their defenses. Someone utilizing this technique can make small or medium amounts of blood appear before the target's eyes.

The user can choose what form the blood takes and how it appears, but it must be a semi-realistic representation. (Meaning no summoning a blood ogre) A user generally will make their own bodies spew blood forward when an opponent makes an attack using a cry of pain as the trigger; with such a trigger the user always tries to dodge as closely as possible so the hit looks to have connected. This makes the target lower their guard by thinking the user is dead or severely wounded.

Dealing with multiple opponents was always a possibility but his teammates were probably deep in their own fights so hopefully Tsugime wouldn't have to worry about dodging rocks from the other side of the arena, which was great because the kid across from him seemed solely focused on trying to hit him as hard and often as possible. A brow raised at the comment about not making a move which the young Yuki saw as false. "What? You forgot about me taking out your clones already? Makes sense, they weren't here for all that long." Maybe it wasn't the best idea to antagonize the kid who was so eager for a punch up but he was right about one thing: being on the defensive the whole time wasn't going to win him this match up. But this wasn't a solo thing and maybe just occupying him long enough for his teammates to get the enemy flag would be enough.

The dance would begin again with a kick aimed at his knee, Tsugime shifting to his side slightly but not quick enough to avoid the blow completely as the pain nearly made him buckle. There was little time to focus on it however as the kid tried to grab him by the neck to which the Yuki tried to meet the hand with his own looking to stop Yosei at the wrist as he brought his other arm up to take the brunt of the repeated blows. What was up with this kid? He had gone for the head at just about every opportunity and the look on his face was eerily familiar and all around creepy.

"You seem real interested in touching my face, so here ya go!" Tsugime spoke as he pushed off his non-hurting knee to try and headbutt Yosei right in the bridge of his nose. Hopefully it would get the boy to back up a bit if not put him on his butt entirely.

[attr="class","ttearText13"] He should have expected this from Tota. Reacting quickly and not letting his guard down was a basic thing for the young hsinobi to know so the fact his shuriken and his sneak attack didn't work made sense. What confused Tsubasa was the fact the opposing team's flag was missing which meant he had to have it on him somewhere. "How clever," Tsubasa would mutter to himself as he headed towards Tota. Even with clones, it wasn't like figuring out which was real and which was fake wouldn't be too hard since the fakes wouldn't have shadows. So Tsubasa continued his assault.

Once he got within range he would take his two kunai and begin slashing at the Tota that was real. He knew he probably wouldn't get a good hit on the other boy, but if he kept him on his toes he would push him back while also trying to redirect his path to Tsubasa's side of the field. He figured he could get Tota to his side of the field even if he didn't have the flag himself to meet the victory conditions. Tsubasa was doing his best to not use his substitution jutsu just in case Tota had any surprises in store for him later.


Actions Taken:

Continued his assault on Tota heading straight for the real one and ignoring the clones
tries to direct his attacks in a way that moves Tota toward the silver team side of the field
Keeps his substitution at the ready just in case

It was satisfying, feeling the boys body shake from his kick. And it was disappointing that it shook but didn't fall. Once again his opponent deftly maneuvered himself, managing to minimize the blow. Though this time he'd left himself open while doing so, and Yosei would follow up with his grab at the boys tantalizing throat. Something to squeeze while he hit the boy, over, and over. Feel the breaths weaken in his fingertips, it was a tantalizing fantasy. And a fantasy it would remain when the boy grabbed his arm mere inches from his throat, both of them now locked together as the red-eyed boy returned the favor as he gripped his arm. You're not curious why it was so easy? It's cause I let you, since I just needed them to be able to do this!! And as if to emphasize his point, he started raining down blows on the boys blocking arm.

It was like glass, the situation he was in now. Hitting the arm blocking the grey haired boy's face, stopping him from shattering the boys nose, to watch the red blood pour out. Eventually, this boys guard would shatter just like glass, and then he'd be able to get what he really wanted. But this closeness worked both ways, and his hyper offensive front meant he wasn't even trying to play defense. So when the hat wearing boy finally made his move, Yosei was a sitting duck. Reeling back his arm for another blow, suddey the thing he'd been working so hard to reach, his opponents face was coming towards him. Only rubbed in further by the boy shouting he could have his face, Yosei found himself letting go of the boys arm as he stepped back. But not quick enough, simply changing the target of the headbutt from the bridge of his nose to the front of it.

Blackness would spray, Tsugime likely feeling it on the top of his head, the warm, black ichor a reward for his offensiveness. And Yosei would grab his nose, not broken thankfully since it'd missed the bridge, but heavily bloodied. And as he felt the ink seep into his hands, seep through his fingers, he felt it. Pleasure and pain. He now had access to his greatest weapon, and Tsugime would be met with a strange sight. The red eyed boys usually deathly pale cheeks matching his eyes in redness, and while he was definitely wounded, he still seemed almost euphoric. And Yosei would look at him, look at how his weapon had spread, and he'd blush more with a smile before attacking again.

But this time there'd be a surprise, as the blackness on Tsugime's head would spread, spread to his eyes to make him only see a black void. But it also wasn't like most Kuronmeru techniques, the blood wasn't particularly thick or stick, it was easily wipable with no issues, but Yosei just needed it to be another distraction. As he'd attack the boys other leg, not in a sweep but a brutal kick to the knee, trying to kick it inwards, before once again targeting the face as he'd been this entire time. Bringing down his hands clasped together like a hammer atop the boys face.


-So close, yet so far from the throat, though Yosei grabs Tsugime's arm in return
-Also reveals he let the clones die as he tries to break through arm
-This is why full out offense specs are bad. Or is it Dundunduuun
-Steps back from headbutt as he let's go of arm, taking the brunt to front of nose instead of bridge. It's not broken now, but it is bloodied badly
-Except he's not too upset about it, in fact he's blushing now. Creepily blushing
-Uses his SA to try and spread any blood on Tsugime's forehead to spread to eyes to distract him, though it's just a simple manner wiping blood off
-Next tries to kick Tsugime's good leg's knee INWARDS and then hammer fist him in the face


SA:
Kuronmeru Bloodline
The true ultimate bloodline of Kirigakure, at least if you ask a Kuronmeru. Yosei's blood is that of a pitch black bile that most would think means someone is near death. However, for Yosei it's the exact opposite, it is his greatest strength and weapon. Or, at least it will be. While when trained the blood is the greatest weapon in the world, at the moment Yosei is only able to manipulate it at the skill of someone who has just recently learned to manipulate his blood, and he is unable to do anything utilitarian with it yet, or really do anything besides move it when it's against a surface as if he were painting with his blood without a brush.

Hand-to-hand combat seemed impossible to avoid now that the brown haired boy begun to quickly close the distance between the two. Tota stifled the urge to mold healing chakra into his body, and instead used the little seconds he had left to kick up some dirt toward his opponent; hoping for it to momentarily blind him. As Tsubasa broke through the cloud of dirt while avoiding the two clones Tota had prepared, the familiar shape of kunai came into view. Reactively Tota lifted his arms, crossing them into a guard as the blunted blades crashed into his forearms. With each slash, Tota stepped back until finding an opening to reach forward and attempt to grab the left arm of Tsubasa.

If he could manage to hold onto the limb for long enough, Tota would use what medical knowledge he had about ligaments and joints; twisting the arm of his opponent to throw them backward onto the ground. Otherwise he would kick, hoping to put some distance between them. He'd grin widely and yell "I can't let that stupid Kuronmaru stand me up".

Composing himself, Tota gave a quick side-eye towards the middle of the field to take note of how far he'd been pushed forward by Tsubasa assault.

Dansui hit the ground and Risa released her genjutsu; she hesitated for a fraction of a second, consumed by a sudden wave of doubt, but she quickly pushed it aside and gave him a solid thump against the throat with her training kunai. Not enough to do anything worse than give him a nasty bruise, since the weapons were blunted for academy student’s hands, but the playacting of a killing blow felt important for the exercise at hand.

Then she ran.

Darting around Dansui, she started sprinting for the other team’s pole—only to realize that the flag was gone. Eyes wide, Risa skidded to a halt, frantically looking around the field to see if it had fallen somewhere or if maybe Tsubasa had grabbed it… but it was nowhere in sight.

Her plan now formally ruined, Risa decided to dive into the fray to help her cousin—she still held some doubt that she could even hold a candle to Tota’s skill in hand-to-hand combat, but she had to try.

Risa flung herself in a bodily tackle at Tota, trying to get in quickly enough that Tsubasa wouldn’t be too badly hurt—she knew firsthand how scary Tota could be in a fight. She quickly wove a single handseal and her hair burst out of its braided confines, forming into the rigid shape of a human’s fist that wildly tried to punch at Tota as Risa put her best effort into taking the boy to the ground.

tl;dr:
- Risa bonks Dansui and she's only a little sorry
- Guns for the enemy team flagpole but!! Quelle surprise!! The flag is gone!!
- With no objective in sight Risa's only option is to try to help Tsubasa so that they can regroup and figure out what the heck happened.
- She tries to tackle Tota to the ground and use the Living Mane technique to punch him with her hair?? this is a weird vibe i've never used the hair techs before but i dig it

While Tsugime's attack had found purchase his skill with taijutsu was still far from adept and had he been a little more refined or facing an opponent who didn't also enjoy the physical arts maybe his headbutt would have landed where he wanted, but a bloodied nose was a bloodied nose either way and seeing the oddly dark liquid stream from Yosei's face brought a small smile to the Yuki's face. He hoped that it would make the boy think twice about charging in so recklessly, though truth be told Tsugime really wanted that outcome for himself as his opponent had been putting on the pressure nonstop which was something he hadn't experienced since... going up against another Kuronmeru.

Tsugime's eyes widened as he put the puzzle pieces together: the hyper aggressive personality, the dark blood, it was a nightmare come true. The familiar sting of a foreign substance entering his eye caused the boy to close his eyes for a moment as he worked to wipe his face clean with his jacket sleeve yet that moment of distraction was all it took for him to be set upon once more, this time unable to see or maneuver out of the way of the strike against his knee as a jolt of pain caused him to drop to a knee. The boy would force his eyes open, blood be damned, in time to see Yosei winding up for another attack and all he could do was try to put his hands up to block yet it wasn't enough to fully absorb the blow as fist met face.

His knee hurt, his face hurt, his eyes stung and overall Tsugime felt a bit dazed from such a heavy attack but he was still conscious which was what mattered. Pushing through the pain to try and get back to his feet wasn't an option at the moment so he'd just do his best to block what blows he could.

He only knew three of the academy techniques and of those three only one was ok for any form of a combat scenario and it was already prepared just in case his opponent had something dastardly waiting for him. Yet it never came instead the other boy kicked up some dirt into Tsubasa's face and while it didn't exactly affect him too much it still caused him to blink to avoid it coming into his eyes.

His assault did push him back a bit, but it was obvious this boy was much better at hand-to-hand combat than Tsubasa was as he quickly was able to find an opening and grab his arm. Then in an almost quick motion brought Tsubasa to the ground with a twist of his arm causing him to scream, "Aggghhhh!" It wasn't that painful granted, but it was still twisting his arm out of his control so it wasn't like he could have prepared for the sudden movement. Though almost as soon as he hit the ground and after the scream his body would soon poof. Smoke would encase his body and once it cleared his body would be replaced with a log as his substitution jutsu had been activated.

Tsubasa wouldn't reappear right away though because Risa would appear first to attack Tota. This would cause Tsubasa to look back to where she was originally and see Dansui and just for safety measures Tsubasa would chuck his two kunai at the other boy hoping to keep him down and out of the match so they could take care of Tota together. "He has to have the flag on him somewhere," Tsubasa would yell to Risa as he rejoined the battle. Grabbing four shuriken he would begin throwing them at Tota at an angle hoping to prove as a distraction as Risa tried to take him on herself.


Actions Taken:
Is thrown to the ground by Tota which activates the substitution jutsu causing him to be replaced by a log
With Risa's appearance looks towards Dansui before throwing his two kunai at him hoping to keep him down
Tells Risa that Tota has the flag on him somewhere
Grabs four shuriken and throws them at different intervals at Tota to keep him distracted from Risa

Dansui, realistically, didn't register much of what had happened before he had hit the ground. He'd gotten distracted, as he normally did, by the coldness in Risa's voice. Just what had happened to his friend? He was gonna find out who hurt her and give them a piece of his mind! Well, once he could fight decently anyways. 

Once he had finally processed that Risa had ran away, he got up from the ground. "You've still got this!" He would motivate himself. Her next goal would obviously be the flag, so Dansui would immediately head off in Tota's direction.

As soon as Dansui had started heading that way, two kunai were flung in his direction. "Not this time." The boy would say as he simply dodged to the left side. "Tota! you take Risa and I'll get the other guy!" The boy would shout to his teammate as he went back into the fray once more. Dansui did the only thing he could really think of to prevent Tsubasa from focusing more on Tota, he attempted to slam his head into Tsubasa's chest, pushing the boy as far away as he could. Hopefully, Tota could handle Risa all by himself.

If Yosei had looked alive during the fight, now as he was very literally looking down at his opponent, he looked absolutely intoxicated. Showing nothing but pleasure as his opponent was on his knees, broken before him, the blush on his cheeks mixed with smeared inky blackness, smeared blood. The salty, metallic tinge lined his taste buds as his nose continued to bleed, yet it didn't stop him. More blood meant more power. His hand instinctively went to his face, leaking through his fingers as he looked down with his red eyes, a demonic visage of twistedness that was the Kuronmeru.

He'd enjoyed kicking in the white haired boy's leg, he'd really enjoyed finally hitting him in the face when he'd swing his fists with all his might, and he was currently enjoying the fruits of his labor. But, even with all this pleasure, with all he'd done, he wasn't finished yet. He'd truely wanted to feel the boys nose smash under his fist, but even when he was blind his opponent had managed to offer some defense, just enough to not get knocked out, or suffer any bleeding extremeties the way the scarf wearing boy had. You said before that I'd seemed really interested in your face...Did that upset you? Did you want me to pay attention to somewhere else, maybe?

And as if to answer his own question his next attack wasn't another punch, but instead a kick to the boys midsection, something that would require him to block low. And he'd do this again. And again. Once again trying to break his guard with each kick, savagely attacking. He didn't know what was going on on the other side of the field. How his team was only just holding it together, just barely holding off the other's. How if he'd just grab the flag he could save them. He was too caught up in his own world, his own fun.


-Yosei is enjoying the moment Tsugime fell before him
-Selling the creepy factor
-Starts kicking his midsection repeatedly, trying to break his guard again
-Still isn't paying much mind to the flag, even though his team is only just staying even

Tota grinned widely as the boy fell underneath him, and gave a pained grunt. Lately he had begun to appreciate fighting more, having confronted his bullies and gained a bit of self confidence. He felt a tinge of pride besting another in hand to hand combat, and this encounter was surprisingly easy. However the smile on his face was cut short as a cloud of smoke engulfed Tsubasa's body and faded to reveal a small log in his stead. The red gaze of Tota's eyes steeled and swept upward toward the center of battlefield; searching for his retreating target.

Instead the boy saw the familiar blue kimono of Risa sprinting toward his direction. Tota quickly braced his back foot, readying himself to block an attack; only to be surprised as the girl dived at him into a tackle. Struggling to balance himself against the oncoming force, the boy tumbled backwards onto the dirt below. He quickly made sure to insert his arm between them, attempting to push her away. When he heard Tsubasa's voice hint at the location of the flag, Tota fervently increased his resistance. The voice spurred Tota to momentarily look toward his original opponent, just as they released several shuriken from their hand in his direction. With a quick kick against the ground, Tota shifted the position of Risa and himself - pushing her into their trajectory; nevertheless one managed to strike him in the ribs, causing the boy grit his teeth in response.

As she formed the handseal, Tota quickly flattened his hand and struck Risa's throat with the side of his palm; hoping to stun her with the sudden force and momentarily interrupt her breathing. Even so after Tota's attempt to take advantage of the opportunity, he watched as her hair unfurled and formed a fist, punching him wildly multiple times. He continued to punch and push her, attempting to make some distance; or at least enough to get up off the ground.
