IN THE MORNING [team three]

Hinoki smiled at the persistent Kaguya. Only if his persistence was coupled with intelligence. Why would you try to grab and isolate one who is stronger than you. The second Hinoki saw the man reach for his shoulder he had an opening. He would grab the wrist of the Genin and would leap mid-air. The movement was instantaneous, faster than a blink of the eye, the little kid would not know what hit him.

Until the remainder of the air cubes proceeded to knock him back down to the earth. Basically, through Inkaten, the Jounin would take his pupil ten meters above the ground and then use his air cubes to slam him back down. One of his pupils seemed quite severed on the battlefield - while the other was making a dash for the cup.

Hinoki used another Inkaten to return to the ground. He had performed a series of handseals and had locked his eyes on the approaching shinobi. A funnel of wind would escape his hands as the thrown puppet would now be reversed and sent in the direction of his owner.

The Jounin returned to his spot as he watched the results of his counters. They needed to formulate a better plan before they come at him like this. "I am stronger and faster then you all." He stated in reference to the toss and speed of his Inkaten. "Pull it together. Oh and kid get up, that Genjutsu only works on rookies." He was a sensor his heightened senses extended far beyond what these kids could wrap their heads around.

2/14

Fuuton: Sakasa Houi no Jutsu (Wind Release: Reverse Direction Technique)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Counter Defense
Effect: Creates a great tunnel of wind which reverses the direction of an oncoming attack.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Does not effect Taijutsu or Genjutsu.
Description: By performing the correct hand seals, the user will channel chakra along the lengths of both of his or her arms. Then, when an attack is incoming, the user will extend both of their arms and release the swirling tunnel of wind towards the attack. The wind will envelop the attack and then drag it backwards towards the opposite direction. The reversed attack can only travel for five meters for every rank of the technique that the user has, plus an additional ten meters if the user becomes a Wind Master. Requires the user to have the same rank of this technique as the rank of the technique that is being countered.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release.

Illusion Sensing
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Allows the user to detect genjutsu.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not break the genjutsu, only tells the user that a genjutsu is in effect.
Description: This technique allows the user to sense the various fluctuations in the chakra around them. These fluctuations will allow the user to identify that a genjutsu is in play. The user is able to use this technique with the same distance chart as Mind’s Eye of the Kagura. The user need not be affected by the illusion to see it. Also note that the user can only sense Genjutsu of the same rank of this technique. Meaning D rank Illusion Sensing can detect D rank Genjutsu and so on and so forth.
Limit: Must be a Sensor.

ooc - you senbon were caught in the reverse technique.
@blockhead - exactly. this is very hard, that is the point. i have not even fought back too hard.

That little kid seemed to be thinking harder, Hinoki was shocked and quite pleased. He was definitely the furthest amongst the three. "The academy is calling your names. Time to finish this." The Jounin was quite finished with this round between the three. He was quite ready to wrap this up and finish them off. His first concern was the Kaguya, that boy was crazy. He recalled the rage he displayed at the dojo, showing he was too out of control.

"For you Genjutsu." Hinoki stated as he watched the fellow dwindle in pain. He avoided his attempts to bite and slash at his footing and would lure the young mind into a sleep. The Genjutsu was Somnolent Pattern a technique definitely too high classed for the little Genin to resist. He would undoubtedly be brought down and knocked unconscious. The Jounin wasted a lot of time on the Genjutsu so he would have to move expeditiously to finish Alex.

"I know you read, so you probably know to never let a ninja get behind you." The sensei let out a snicker as he pushed a small orb of air into the back of Alex. The offensive jutsu packed 400 lbs. of direct force, the little fellow would be knocked over and probably immobilized from taking so much force - directly at that.

Hinoki assumed his initial position in front of the table. It was just him and Miyagi. He was the team's last hope. There was a cloud of smoke and three clones coming towards him. He did not make any movements - he would await the strategy of Miyagi.

Hinoki uses Somnolent Pattern on Minamoto - knocks you unconscious
Hinoki uses Shunshin to get behind Alex
Hinoki knocks Alex out w/ Slyph's Orb
Hinoki returns in front of the table to battle Miyagi

You can try to counter my attacks and Genjutsu, but I have more movements and I am faster than you all, so it will most likely fail. I had more hope for you guys. @alex - yes my Slyph Orb travels 5 Meters in one second, so yeah good luck dodging that ever. No wait 10 Meters a second - so you cannot even Shunshin out of the way...sorry no dodge for you.

Somnolent Pattern
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: As that of Hypnotic Pattern, except that a somnolent pattern renders the targets unconscious.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback:
Description: The bright, shifting pattern of lights created by a somnolent pattern causes creatures to fall into a deep sleep. When the user performs the techniques needed, those that see, will see bright shifting colors to the user's will as they slowly become drowsy going into a slumber. When performed the only way by waking someone up is by waiting for the technique to end, which is by that of the user, or by transferring their chakra in through the sleeping person. Hitting or wounding the affected party will not awaken the sleeping party. When the user performs this technique they are capable of affecting at a range of thirty meters when the user is "C" Class, and then it adds ten meters for every class level higher then "C" Class.
Limit: Must know Pattern Perception of GenJutsus, Must know Hypnotic Pattern

Shunshin no Jutsu, 瞬身の術, (Body Flicker Technique) x14
Rank: "C" Rank
Type: NinJutsu/TaiJutsu
Effect: A High speed movement technique where a user moves from one point to another as if appearing to teleport in a short distance in almost untraceable speeds. User moves in 10 meters
Special: ---
Drawback Able to use 3 times a day when first learned. Each time learned after first time user is able to use it one more time. If user uses it passes the number capable, leg muscles cramp dramatically and user is unable to move till medical treatment.
Description: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. When used this technique does not take up any movements. However a user may only use this technique equal to half the amount of their movements per round rounding down. Thus 3 movements user may use it only once per round. 15 movements user may use it 7 times per round without it taking up a movement.
Limit: User must have a Character.
3/14

Awaikaze [Fleeting Wind]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Passive, Mastery.
Effect: Allows wind techniques performed by someone who has obtained a mastery of Fuuton to move at twice their natural speed.
Special: A passive ability gained automatically.
Drawback: ---
Description: The masters of Fuuton no Jutsu are often known as Shunshin no Kami, or Gods of Speed when using their powerful wind techniques. By focusing upon a common aspect within wind techniques, the user will then release their wind techniques shaped slightly differently, allowing them to move up to twice as fast as they normally would.
Limit: Must have up to 500 TP in Fuuton techniques. Once this is done, this technique is gained automatically.

Slyph’s Orb
Rank: “C” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Causes a small burst of wind to shoot forth from the user’s hand in the shape of an orb.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: The attack is clearly visible, causing distortion as the orb moves forward.
Description: The Slyph’s Orb is a wind-based ninjutsu in which the user will project a burst of wind, shaped with chakra to resemble an orb, in a straight line towards a target. The user will perform the handseals, gathering the required chakra as they create a small vacuum around their hand. The air, once gathered, will compress itself into the shape of an orb, about six inches in diameter. It is then launched from the user’s hand by the user extending their arm forward in a punching-like motion. The orb itself will move quickly, its’ speed as the orb travels causing a great amount of distortion in the atmosphere. It is capable of easily dispersing most secondary weapons and, in fact, is capable of dragging those said weapons along with them as the orb moves forward. Capable of traveling a maximum distance of ten meters, it will travel at a speed of around 2 meters per second, and then the orb will reach its’ final destination and burst five feet in radius, creating a centralized air explosion that is powerful enough only to knock over objects weighing less than 200 lbs. The main use of this ability is to catch opponent’s secondary weapons as they launch them, or, perhaps, use after your own secondary weapons are thrown, and then cause them to be flung about in all directions at the end of the burst. If at any point the Slyph’s Orb is incapable of moving forward, the burst will be prematurely activated.
Speed: 5 MPS | Distance: 20 M | Force: 400 lbs.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release.
