A mission of quiet mission-ness... [Travel/RP/Mission]

[Hoarfrost Imp]

So it was that simple, or at least thats what Godric made it seem. Though Rahael was directly outside immediate engagement zoning, she wasnt outside of verbal range. With Godric doing his own thing, she didnt even give Zenovia a second glance, intent on taring a hole through Michiko. The aura faded from her body and her face and claws retracted, though she was still very much on guard. "Your joke is played out, tough I seem to be the only bitch round here who can back up her words." She dared to begin walking forward, ready to close the distance to 8 meters if Michoko wasn't going to back down. "You heard the man, no interference, no time limit." the idea gave her some interesting motivation. "I'll try to make it as painless as possible." Riza, her medic teammate, had referred to her as a literal bitch much too often to let it bother her. In fact it made her chuckle. Predictable child.

When the giant approached, he came so near so very fast. There was nothing I could do to even SEE it. But I knew it for what it was the moment I saw it up close. My sword hand clutched at the cross on my neck.

"Nosferatu..."

No, I couldn't afford to be afraid. I had trained my entire life for this moment. Ascalon was loose in its sheathe, so all I needed do was free it and charge as he retreated.

"Come and face me, Nightstalker! Die by my holy blade, Abomination!"

If I was even capable of approaching him, the plan was to perform a basic leaping slash with two hands. This would allow me to put the maximum amount of force behind the strike, the divine sword eager to taste whatever blood this abomination drank. The possibility existed that he would escape unimpeded, or that I would be waylaid by any of the several individuals present. Even so, my conviction was firm, and my faith unwavering. I would slay my first monster this night.

[Sorry Minh you took to long x.x. On that note I will try to get Ranzu and Minh out of here so the mission can continue if that is OK with everone. I will note a chance to attempt for them to exit. In your post note you intercept to stop them please.]

Godric was just about to enforce his no interference policy upon Zenovia, but the blasted women didn't give him the chance. Fortunately for Godric this Venator was slow. Almost increadibly slow because by the time the women could even strike Godric had taken three steps to pull out his Benehime and held it at defense position. Then he had just enough time to block the first strike, deflecting it away. The Benehime returned to the defense position acrossed his chest as he readied for the next strike. He felt a mental yawn as he waited for the next strike, and as it came the same result ensued. Godric blocked the weapon of Zenovia deflecting it away.

Though from the start Godric simple could and did Shunshin back. Only 5 meters though so that his distance from Zenovia was well 5 meters. And now is the red tide as Godric pulled back the Benehime so that the point of the blade was behind him, and swipe it across toward his front. This shot a tiny blood bead right where Zenovia was standing. Weather it hit her, the ground or whatever else, it would explode in a non damaging, but bathing aura of blood. This drenched anything within a ten meter sphere in blood centering at the point of explosion.

Suffice it to say Godric's plan was simple to follow, but his execution was quick as his each of his movements took but .2 fractions of a second, and he had only wasted 4 of them. With that in mind and his incredible speed, Godric quickly raised the sword into the air with his left hand. This raised the blood that had been drenched within that area to raise to a distance of Five meters, creating a 10 meter by 5 meter sphere of cloud like blood vapors. But just as fast Godric started to twirl his Benehime in the air...

Now the blood cloud really did something. It quickly spun and solidified into a hollow sphere that attempted to trap Zenovia within its form. Godric had only spent an extra two movements doing that, surely his speed had trumped the Venator's in this effort. But He was not done quite yet. Godric with his right hand started to preform one-handed Seals. If he was given the chance of course.

This took a considerable amount of time than the movements he had just produced. A good two seconds worth of handseal while twirling the Benehime in his left and Godric produced a technique that should be end game. Was that a smile on Godric's face or was he simply playing with his food. If Godric could capture Zenovia within this Genjutsu then the fight would be over, and Godric would have a temporary play thing before he left. For now true love might be growing in the Venator...

Finally with all this display and action, this gave a chance for Zeki and Junko to escape for now. Hopefully they can continue this mission without further delay. And if not Godric was going to force the situation so that they could...

Effect: The user learns an efficient way to unsheathe the weapon.
Special: ---
Drawback: Isn't exactly considered to be a Battojutsu technique which focuses entirely on unsheathing.

  Rank: "E"
  Skill: TaiJutsu
  Effect: The user holds the sword in one hand with the tip pointing behind the user.
  Special: ---
  Drawback: ---
  Description: A technique that demands strength as it is rarely used when wielding anything that's the size of a Katana or larger. The user holds the sword in the middle of the hand, with the tip of the blade pointing behind them. The hand should be about waist level, with the blade pointing directly backwards in a 180 degree angle behind the user in an attack position, or across the user's chest in a defense position.

Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven: Ready Stance.


Chiyoku (Bloodbath)
Rank: "C", "B", "A"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes a burst of blood to drench an area in front of the user.
Special: Slicing horizontally towards the target area. Uses a number of blood beads as determined by the user.
Drawback: The amount of blood capable of being created by the technique is dependent upon the rank of the technique. Need to know other Chiyoku techniques before this one is capable of doing anything besides drenching an area with blood.
Description: Chiyoku (Bloodbath) is a basic attack meant to cover an area with blood. This blood can be used with other Chiyoku techniques to attack the opponent. In order to perform the attack, the user will focus their chakra within a number of blood beads, with the number being up to the user. Then, slashing horizontally with Benihime, the user will release a fast-moving wave of blood that splatters a cone area in front of the user. At "C" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering one meter. At "B" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering five meters. At "A" Rank, each blood bead is capable of completely covering ten meters. The movement is incredibly quick, making it difficult to dodge.
Limit: Must have Settouchi.

Chiyoku: Kigen (Bloodbath: Rise) (10)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes the blood splattered upon the ground by the Chiyoku technique to rise within the air, up to five meters.
Special: Performing a vertical slash from the ground up with Benihime.
Drawback: The height that the blood can rise is dependent upon the user's difficulty class. It rises one meter in height for every rank the user has in Difficulty Class.
Description: Chiyoku: Kigen is a technique that is fairly simple to comprehend. By slashing horizontally, from ground to sky, the user will cause the blood that was splattered by the Chiyoku technique to rise off of the ground. It is capable of rising one meter off of the ground for every rank of Difficulty Class that the user has achieved [D=1, S=5]. This technique is used in conjunction with other Chiyoku techniques.
Limit: Must have Chiyoku.

Chiyoku: Arashi (Bloodbath: Storm) (40)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Causes all the blood that has risen into the air from Chiyoku: Kigen to harden and rapidly spin around the opponent.
Special: Twirling Benihime around above the user's head. The twirling must continue for the duration of the Storm.
Drawback: The user must continue to twirl the blade above their head for the duration of the technique.
Description: After the blood has been risen from the ground following the Bloodbath technique, the user will then raise Benihime above their hand and begin to rapidly twirl the blade. The motion of the blade, combined with the user's chakra in both the sword and the blood released by Benihime will cause the risen blood to rapidly begin to twist and twirl, creating a sphere of rapidly moving blood that can be used to trap an opponent within its' confines. Because of the motion of the blood, it requires a "B" rank attack or higher to penetrate the Storm and allow freedom. This ability is capable of being combined with other Chiyoku techniques.
Limit: Must have Chiyoku: Kigen.

Immortal Love (DC 25)
Rank: "S"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: This Jutsu binds a person to the user, and makes them fall completely in love.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects 1 living creature. The user is able to perform this technique on the target they touch. The duration of this technique is permanent. This technique may be negated. Morden had never felt love himself, not even from his parents. But when he saw the beautiful Hyūga enter his woods, he felt something else, lust. Now that she sat before him he could only think of one thing, to make her his own, his property. He leaned over and gently kissed her on the neck as the black words flowed from his vile mouth. She will only have eyes for the user, and be willing to protect him with all of her heart. When he dies, so does she. The target still has a mind of their own, but cannot harm the user in any way, not even if she is compelled to do so by another Jutsu. This Jutsu can only be Dispel GenJutsu or removed by another person through Chakra means.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception.

• Need a Genjutsu roll: (Godric)25 vs (Zenovia)9+D20
  
• Ranzu and Nekomata Minh: please make your attempt to exit, and if you do create a thread outside this one. I will continue your mission there to try and make some progress (though with what has gone on so far, I could cut it down a bit)

FINALLY! The words Michiko was waiting to hear. Godric will allow her to kill the stupid hyuuga brat! The dog-bitch was still spouting words but Michiko’s massive bloodlusting grin from behind the mask , if it could be seen, easily showed she wasn’t listening. The insects she’d left hanging in the air and the ones she’d been releasing into the surrounding area were given a simple order. Drain the other hyuuga girl dry. Michiko’s black-steel body erupted in various streams of insects all swarming their way to the tai fighter in front of her. Michiko’s byakugan was trained completely on the hyuuga waiting on her to react. If she shunshin’d or darted towards Michiko at all then Michiko would evade, shunshining as well if she had to. If she didn’t move forward but instead moved back Michiko would begin moving chakra around her body into key positions prepped for immediate attack. If the girl did nothing Michiko would wait a single round before moving. Regardless of what she did the various swarms of chakra eating insects were bearing down on her from all angles. These insects, unless destroyed utterly, would drain her chakra at a rate the tai fighter was not used to, presuming she’d not gone head to head with an aburame of course. And even though the insects were incredibly small they were fast , the bugs would be able to dodge most basic attacks without any real problems only falling to area of effect or elemental jutsu. The swarm type was handy when the opponent doesn’t have area of effect abilities. Should this hyuuga opponent surprise Michiko and actually HAVE some kind of elemental jutsu or something that could destroy the insects her tactics would change, but for now Michiko presumes the obvious physical fighter lives up to her stereotype. The insects soul drive are to eat as much chakra from the girl as they can and avoid being killed, her being a physical fighter would mean she didn’t have a whole lot of chakra to spare but that’s fine by Michiko. Any extra chakra would help and Michiko would siphon away most of the chakra the insects stole from their opponent and add it to her own pool. SPOILER: Click to show Active Jutsu ======================================================================================= Byakugan Rank: "C"x3 [50TP] (Special, See Description) Skill: NinJutsu Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra. Special: --- Drawback: May Learn at a maximum of 5 times. Description: Picture An Eye jutsu for the Hyūga Clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white color as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a "C" Rank technique taking up handseals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of Handseals equal to a "C" Rank Technique while their Byakugan is active to gain the See Chakra and See Through Chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their Byakugan remains active. Deactivating this Ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the last time they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills). User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength. "D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty. "B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty. "A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty. "S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty. A User can see a creature's Class Level and can determine the strength of the chakra signature, but does not gain a bonus to Observation checks to detect a creature regardless of the strength of its chakra aura. Each Chakra signature has an individual color to it, but it is typically not plausible for the user to remember each one. This ability depends on sight and does not function when blinded. See Chakra: See Through Chakra: This ability functions like See Chakra, but the user gains a +20 circumstance bonus to Observation checks to detect lingering chakra, genjutsu, and see chakra activity (+5 circumstance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). User also gains a +2 resistance bonus to disbelieve GenJutsu and Mind Affecting techniques (+1 resistance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). The user knows can tell a non-corporeal chakra constructs or a physical entity. User can tell most summons and clones by sight (Exception Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and similar techniques). User can see internal uses of chakra such as active Bloodline abilities and ranks of Lingering Chakra. ======================================================================================= Passive or Activated non-Draining abilities. ======================================================================================= Unscathed Rank: "C" Skill: Trait Effect: The user is amazingly resistant to energy attacks because of their upbringing or Chakra experimentation. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Each type of energy resistance the user has (if any) increases by 20 Armour Points. This trait replaces 1 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 1 Freebie. ======================================================================================= Chakra Resistance Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: Some Humans are even less affected by Chakra. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Increases the characters natural bonus on saves vs. Chakra Jutsus & Chakra-like effects to +4 Trait Bonus. Users gain a Damage Resistance against Chakra Techniques equal to 20 points Racial Bonus. This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Grendle Ancestry Rank: "B" Skill: Trait Effect: A trait that grants healing properties to the user. Special: --- Drawback: Cannot gain any other Ancestry Traits. Description: Some human bloodlines trace their linage back to a grendle, an offspring born of troll and human parentage. Living humans with this racial trait are immune to bleeding out. If they are also "C" Class they heal Minor damage per 15 rounds. If they "A" Class and they lose a limb, an organ, or any other body part, once per day the user's severed body members (fingers, toes, hands, feet, arms, legs, tails, broken bones, and ruined organs grow back. The physical regeneration is complete in 1 round if the severed members are present and touching the creature. It takes 15 rounds otherwise. Regenerate also heals Serious Damage within 15 rounds, and rids the subject of exhaustion and/or fatigue. It has no effect on nonliving creatures (including undead). This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form. Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability. Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank. ======================================================================================= Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class. Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body. Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada. ======================================================================================= Know Their Pain Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Get an understanding of how much life a target has. Special: --- Drawback: This does not work on undead. Description: The user looks over another creature and can discern how close it is to releasing its soul. There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body. This does not work on undead. This is normally used for NPC purposes. Opponent's cannot state how much life a PC character will have unless they are at the verge of death. Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. ======================================================================================= Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual. Special: N/A Drawback: The kikaichu feed from the shinobis chakra. Description: This allows the user the control the kikaichu in the use for their techniques. he bugs feed and live off the Chakra which the body stores and in return the Ninja gets to control and command the bugs, using them as their primary fighting technique. These bugs have the ability to drain chakra through physical contact with the enemy (and possibly consume a fraction of the host's chakra as well.) Limit: Must have Kikaichu Ishoku ======================================================================================= Keen Sight Rank: "C" (Special, See Description) Skill: Supplementary Effect: While the Byakugan remains active, the user gains an insight bonus to Observation checks. Special: --- Drawback: Must have the Byakugan active. May learn up to 6 times. Description: Each time learned the user gains +5 insight bonus to their Observation and Sense Motive checks so long as the Byakugan remains active. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. When the user learns this technique the 2nd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +10 Training Points. When the user learns this technique the 3rd 2 times they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. Must know Byakugan. ======================================================================================= Telescopic Eye Rank: "C"x9 (90 meters) (Special, See Description) Skill: Supplementary Effect: The user is able to see much further than normal and access an X-Ray ability. Special: --- Drawback: Must have the Byakugan active. May learn up to ∞ times. Description: When concentrating to See Through Chakra, the character can also spend time equal to Handseals to gain the ability to see through objects with X-ray like vision up to 10 meters from the user. This does not impede the user's line of sight and the distance a user can normally see, however they simply will not be able to use the X-ray ability beyond 10 meters. When the user first learns this technique the user trains it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters. For every 50 meters the user trains an additional +10 Training Points added to their previous training. The user also suffers a penalty to Observation checks every 15 meters instead of every 3 meters. If user loses an eye (has 1 eye) Telescopic Eye is reduced by 50%. Future learning also reduces distance by 50%. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. Must know Byakugan. ======================================================================================= Enlightened Byakugan Rank: "B" Skill: Supplementary Effect: A technique that allows the user to see all around them giving them the ability to no longer become flanked.

Must know Telescopic Eye. ======================================================================================= All-Seeing Eye Rank: "B" Skill: Supplementary Effect: The user sees all that is around them, and nothing can escape their all-seeing eye. Special: --- Drawback: User gains a small blind spot located at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertebra. Description: Picture Taking the time of a "B" Rank Technique in Handseals the user may activate this technique. By activating this ability the Byakugan gives the user a near 360° field of vision, except for one blind spot at the back of the neck above the first thoracic vertabra. The distance of this vision is 1/5th of the user's knowledge in Telescopic Eye (Maximum Distance 40 Meters). Please note that the further the user may see, the larger the blind spot becomes. User is still subject to eye attacks. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. =======================================================================================

So then the action was beginning, finally, but this was not something to just take likely. The girl did not stop her from walking at all, 8 meters now the distance separating them now. She kept walking. Though Rahael did think herself to superior fighter that didnt mean she couldnt be felled by some means of trickery or mind play. When the bugs in the air began to stir and the ones in her body churned and shot towards their exits she darted forward with a lightening speed quickness, Dashing an easy 2 or so meters before spinning at a breakneck speed, 6 meters or less keeping them apart. As she spun a sphere of chakra slammed into the bugs, likely killing those that shot forward and tried to latch onto her specifically. The sphere was there in a blink.

It expanded for 10 meters just like that, the volatile chakra expanded for 10 meters, B ranked damage blowing away everything, wearing a bevel into the ground and throwing away anything it touched away for 15 meters. Even if the damage could be belittled or even prevented, it still had a potent knockback effect that would send the Kunoichi of Iwa flying far, far from her position. Unless she had some means of flying as well she had no maneuverability in the air, meaning Rahael was free to charge her down for a free running of 15 meters, at the exact moment of contact.

Presuming this was all precisely what happened while the girl flew from her once hopeful position, Rahael could cover an easy 10 meters per movement and with 10 she could run for a full round and cover about 100 meters. This given estimate and the earlier transpired events gave her a window to close the distance to 5 meters, a deadly and potentially life ending distance. If unimpeded in this chasing of the prey she would fall into the advanced Jyuuken stance, her eyes focusing on the divination field before her.

Effect: An advanced version of Hakkeshou: Kaiten, the user releases a greater amount of chakra from their tenketsu while spinning like a top, creating a defensive chakra dome of a greater size.
Special: --
Drawback: --

Lots of running.

(AMATERASU has missed IIC thus under NFRP rules suffer critical strikes from my techniques, unless the BM overrules me. Buuut my Immortal Love technique requires a touch attack and thus cannot be completed so... I am continuing right after I completed my Chiyoku: Arashi (Bloodbath: Storm) technique. Game on! since I don't want to hold up this thread any longer)

Godric continued swirling his Benehime over his head to keep Zenovia within the blood bubble barrier. But as he was producing his one handed handseals in his other hand he realized the folly of his plan and discontinued the technique. Rather he started another string of one handed handseals to produce something else.

Godric spent only a D rank worth of one handed handseals to produce this. Eight copies of Godric were created around Zenovia. The blood barrier was still around the Venator for now so she wouldn't see their creation. But their positions were 5 meters away from here in a circle. One directly in front of her and then evenly spaced around her to a 45 degree proportion within that circle. They were all programed to laugh at her and call her names. A choir of them calling Zenovia weak and inferior, a mere mortal, someone who was wasting a Vampire's time... If she struck even one of them, that copy would split into two duplicates doing the same thing. This illusion would last 25 minutes, plenty of time for the fight continue and for Godric to make his escape...

The next technique Godric produce as he was still swirling around his Benehime, keeping up the barrier, was the independent Illusion. It was another Hastened illusion and only took an amount of one handed handseals as a D rank jutsu. The target was where Michiko and Rahael were standing. Though it would not manifest until a condition was met. The condition was if Michiko was to die. If that was to be met then another copy of Godric would manifest. This copy of Godric was very different from a normal illusion. This copy had Godric's intelligence and could act upon it's own instruction. This was so that he could give Rahaeal a message if this condition was met. The body of Michiko must be returned to Iwagakure should things not go Michiko's way. But there was a lot of what if's in that scenario...

Finally Godric produced another technique. Though this did not require handseals yet it took the time of a D rank jutsu. It was his Trademarked jutsu. An exact copy of Godric doing exactly what Godric was doing plastered itself over his body. It was produced at the very same time that his body would turn invisible. It was a sneaky trick that gave him the ability to go as he pleases while none was the wiser, well perhaps maybe those of the Hyuuga Bloodline since they could see chakra signatures. But all in all it was all set up.

Godric then stopped whirling the Benehime over his head and the blood barrier around Zenovia would cease. This of course would drench the Venator in yet more blood. The illusionary copy of Godric that was produced from the Mislead technique, copied exactly this movement. Then there was a split, the Mislead copy stayed where it was and started acting like the Infinite Mirror copies as Godric Shunshined away. Ten shunshins and he was at his horse once again. A telepathic message to Kuroi, his horse, telling it he was there and climbing on. Thus he did just that, and with another mental message telling Kuroi to head home. And with that the horse galloped off into the distance with it's spectral rider...

Junko was sick of waiting around. Everything was so stale anyway. She had things to do back at home that could have been finished awhile ago. So even though it is against her own morals, right now she wasn't needed. It would by a lonely trip without Zeki and Michiko but, her mind was set. If this other Hyuuga wants to meet her to learn about her bloodline then she would have to do it some other time, if that even happens. Either way Junko got up and, began walking in the other direction towards where they initially entered from. With that she sent a message...

"Have fun with your new friend Michiko. I hope to see you another time, hopefully under better circumstances." If Michiko recieves this message or not it wouldn't matter because, Junko and her slumbering sister were already gone...

[AMATERASU]

I was...helpless before him. So much power, and speed. Caught in a maelstrom of blood. And then a sudden sense of adoration. He was no monster, he was an angel, a perfect father for my children. I wanted to reach out for him, yearned for his touch, but I could not move.

and then the sensation was gone, leaving behind only revulsion upon my release. my mind was not my own in that prior time. disgusting. horrifying. I would kill him for this. but not now. I wasn't strong enough, fast enough. I needed to master my body and mind that this might never occur again.

I sat on hands and knees shivering, stained red with the sangromantic leavings and the nosferatu rode away. why did he not strike me down?

my mind went blank, and my vision dark.

[Ranzu]

Things on the ground were happening at too quick of a pace for Zeki to be truly comfortable with. His main forms of attack were not the friendliest for those nearby the target and with his knowledge that Michiko's main combat style meant she would be engaging the Hyuuga with explosive tags in close quarters, decided against particpating in this struggle. Furthermore the Kage was now involved in this little scuffle, which made the Sadojin even more anxious to get away.

"I will cover your exit from the air, Junko. I assume we can complete the mission while Mihciko is tied up in this affair." Zeki sends to his teammate as he takes one last, long loop around the fight before breaking off to head towards Junko. He manages to keep eyesight on the enemy Hyuuga though, worried that she might try to engage Junko.

As the woman approached Michiko watched, she’d been watching her the entire time. As suspected a frontal assault. So predictable. Michiko had planned for this and began to dash backwards, but the woman stopped a few meters shy of reaching her, and while Michiko was not versed 100% on all Hyuuga techniques she did know most of them required melee combat. The insects were already en route and prepped to attack when she began spinning and releasing chakra rapidly. It was obvious the melee fighter had not had much dealings with chakra eating insects, or she would not easily provide them with a meal. The chakra however began rotating just as rapidly as it was being released. This felt some what familiar, she’d heard about this technique, but she didn’t have time to think about it as it was already in motion. Bracing herself and attempting to leap back came only a fraction of a second too late. The insects in motion were knocked around by the wind but only because they were caught off guard, a handful were caught completely off guard by the overwhelming chakra and it destroyed over half the ones that had already reached her. The rest were on their way, and easily adapted to the onrush of food. Thankfully the insects need only reach the chakra to eat it , not the chakra producer. The insects consumed a good portion of chakra that was flooded at them but were unable to completely eat all of it, the attack was too fast to allow them to simply eat it all. This weakening combined with Michiko’s back-peddling and defensive posture slightly reduced the impact of the attack to around a C rank’s damage, which thankfully was all chakra which meant her natural born traits completely negated leaving no damage. While the reduction in damage was fortunate , the knockback effect was completely untouched and sent Michiko’s heavy steel body flying into the air. Michiko’s voice rang out in laughter as she is tossed into the air. The remaining insects on her body scattered to join the fray leaving her black skin to return to a silvery nature. In mid air Michiko pulled herself into a ball, tapping her fingers on her mask to make sure it remain firmly in place, and rotated to an upright position using momentum to balance the spinning. At the apex of her launch into the air Michiko simply stopped. It appeared as if she “kicked” off an ‘invisible’ wall and landed on mid air. No, not invisible, if one wasn’t paying attention maybe but if one was they would see a golden disc appear then move under her.. The opposing hyuuga with her byakugan active would have easily seen the golden disc composed of chakra Michiko’s foot impacted to stop her launch in the air at its highest point. That same golden disc of chakra was now directly under her and Michiko was standing on it like a floating platform. The 3 foot disc appeared to be of very little chakra expenditure but provide a nice floating platform for her to stand on. "Hahahahaha! You’re more fun than you looked! Why didn’t you tell me you wanted to have a tickle fight?! You’re so naughty! And here you were playing like you thought me to be a hussy!” The remaining insects in the air were quickly following the Hyuuga who was headed for where Michiko “would” have landed. With a few “throwing” motion Michiko sent small swarms of insects dashing towards the hyuuga like a thrown kunai , one after another. One of the blasts of insects were surrounding a concealed kunai carring a lightning tag, but the kunai was only meant to hit the ground somewhere within a few feet of the opposing kunoichi not actually detonate yet. Michiko had plans for it. Michiko’s disc was carrying her around 25 meters in the air and holding her there. Michiko and the large insect swarm already released , which is now being reinforced by various other small swarms being sent towards the hyuuga are all now aware of the spinning jutsu. Should it happen again many less insects will die from the result as they will be able to adjust better knowing whats capable. For now the insects , swarming her from all angles like a large cloud trying to devour a bird, will simply continue to attempt to harvest the chakra from the opponent for Michiko. SPOILER: Click to show Active Jutsu ======================================================================================= Byakugan Rank: "C"x3 [50TP] (Special, See Description) Skill: NinJutsu Effect: An jutsu when activating allows the user the ability to constantly see chakra. Special: --- Drawback: May Learn at a maximum of 5 times. Description: Picture An Eye jutsu for the Hyūga Clan. When activating the user's eyes dilate in the same white color as veins bulge out of the corner of the eyes. The user can activate this technique as a "C" Rank technique taking up handseals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of Handseals equal to a "C" Rank Technique while their Byakugan is active to gain the See Chakra and See Through Chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their Byakugan remains active. Deactivating this Ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the 1st 2 times they train it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu.

When the user learns this technique the last time they train it as a "C" Rank Jutsu +20 Training Points. Limit: Must be in the Hyūga clan. See Chakra and See Through Chakra Effects See Chakra: User can see chakra being used, chakra auras and lingering chakra. It allows the user to attempt to identify the effect of lingering chakra (use Chakra Lore Skills). User can make an Observation skill check to detect GenJutsu techniques or see Chakra Activity. User can focus their sight to examine a creature or object to detect traces of lingering chakra with an Observation check. Traces are the result of an active effect placed on the target from a technique or ability needing Chakra. Success allows the user to make a second check to identify the effect to get a rough idea of the source, but requires a clear line of sight to the target. Check difficulty depends on the Source Strength. "D" and "C" Rank/Class, Faint strength, Very Difficult Difficulty. "B" Rank/Class, Moderate strength, Difficult Difficulty. "A" Rank/Class, Strong strength, Average Difficulty. "S" Rank/Class, Overwhelming strength, Easy Difficulty. A User can see a creature's Class Level and can determine the strength of the chakra signature, but does not gain a bonus to Observation checks to detect a creature regardless of the strength of its chakra aura. Each Chakra signature has an individual color to it, but it is typically not plausible for the user to remember each one. This ability depends on sight and does not function when blinded. See Chakra: See Through Chakra: This ability functions like See Chakra, but the user gains a +20 circumstance bonus to Observation checks to detect lingering chakra, genjutsu, and see chakra activity (+5 circumstance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). User also gains a +2 resistance bonus to disbelieve GenJutsu and Mind Affecting techniques (+1 resistance bonus every additional learning of Byakugan). The user knows can tell a non-corporeal chakra constructs or a physical entity. User can tell most summons and clones by sight (Exception Kage Bunshin no Jutsu and similar techniques).

Per time learned, one is capable of creating another Halo. When first created, a Halo will appear within a meter from the user, and from then on tend to swirl about behind their back unless they are used. The user can move these Halo through the air as they please as long as they are within eyesight. Limit: Clan jutsu. ======================================================================================= Chakra Gavinha ( 1 halo active) Rank: E x10 Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Makes it possible to let tendrils come out of the Halo, allowing the user to perform more jutsu with the Halo. Special: --- Drawback: These tendrils have no effect on the world unless jutsu are used with them. The bright glow makes stealth hard if not impossible. Description: Once activated, the user can make several bright glowing tendrils slide out of the Halo, all made out of chakra, and all having the same kind of glow as the Halo they come out of. Per time this jutsu is learned, one can create 10 tendrils per Halo. Limit: One must have the at least one Seiðr Halo activated. ======================================================================================= Ym-hayrn Rank: C x2 Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Makes it possible for a user to stand on the Halo. Special: --- Drawback: During this no other jutsu can be done with any of the used Halo. Description: By letting all the tendrils in a Halo weave into each other, one is able to stand on a Halo by molding chakra to the body part touching the Halo in the same way one would to walk on water. The Halo the user is standing on must remain stationary unless this jutsu is learned again. Limit: Must have at least one Seiðr Halo and Chakra Gavinha activated. ======================================================================================= Passive or Activated non-Draining abilities. ======================================================================================= Unscathed Rank: "C" Skill: Trait Effect: The user is amazingly resistant to energy attacks because of their upbringing or Chakra experimentation. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Each type of energy resistance the user has (if any) increases by 20 Armour Points. This trait replaces 1 of the 5 Freebies.

This trait replaces 2 of the 5 Freebies. Limit: Must start with Character; 2 Freebies.. ======================================================================================= Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form. Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability. Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability. Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank. ======================================================================================= Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed) -[90TP] Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class. Special: --- Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties. Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body. Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada. ======================================================================================= Know Their Pain Rank: "C" Skill: NinJutsu Effect: Get an understanding of how much life a target has. Special: --- Drawback: This does not work on undead. Description: The user looks over another creature and can discern how close it is to releasing its soul. There are no hand movements, no actions, the user simply looks at the target and can simply know how much more life the target has before the soul finally leaves the body.

Limit: Must be a Soulcaster. ======================================================================================= Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique) -[10TP] Rank: D Skill: Ninjutsu Effect: Allows the user to control the kikaichu given to him by the Kikaichu Ishoku ritual.

When the user first learns this technique the user trains it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters. For every 50 meters the user trains an additional +10 Training Points added to their previous training.

I will be your BM for this fight, please PM me when there is a discrepancy.

[Hoarfrost Imp]

The hit had landed, maybe no damage, but the point had been made. There wasn't much she could do against an aerial opponent admittedly, but this had been meant as a lesson to the other. Point made. From her position to retreat when the bug swarm came that she threw, she dashed backward, bursting, into a spinning mass of claws and fangs, tearing through the air like a devil. She spun at an excess of 50 MPH, impacting the ground, using it as a spring to launch herself further. Any bugs would find it hard to land on her, not only caught up in the rotation of air around her, but also the fact she was covered from head to toe with a whirling dervish of tooth and nail. The bugs could only fly like at the speed of a thrown kunai and her retreat hadnt even taken into consideration she might have been trying to conceal anything when she retreated.

Likely by now she was far far out of range of such things and would simply have to continue her backtracking to stay ahead of the swarm. Those who might get too close would be met with her spinning fang over fang. The moral victory was there. Stall a mission, pull away a Kage, everything in moderation. Rahael held the biggest smile as she fell back. The buzz of the swarm too loud for her to call out or for her to hear any snide remarks the girl might have. For now a tactical retreat was due.

[Retreat, attempted exit ^^]

Tsuuga (Piercing Fang)
Rank: "D", "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user spins at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. This attack can be done with a partner, making it more effective, this however would be the form of the Double Piercing Fang technique.

Drawback: The Second version of this technique the user's vision becomes more blurred. Reaction time is slightly smaller then that of the normal Version of the Tsuuga technique. When the user learns the first version of this technique their tunnel vision is that of twenty to thirty miles per hour. When the user learns the second version the tunnel vision becomes even greater as it becomes forty to fifty miles per hour in destructive speed.
Description: The user or the animal companion once using the Shikyaku no Jutsu, 四脚の術, (Four Legs Technique) must under go a certain transformation. The user slightly jumps into the air as they suddenly spin quickly, using this momentum as well as their chakra within their body they drill forward in a fast like motion. As they continue to spin forth each creation that they slam into creates a small like crater by the effect of the drilling effect as well as the claws that are along their very hands. Each time they slam into an object they create a small like creator that is the size of two to three feet for the first time learned. When the user gains the second technique, the second version of this technique creates a small like creator of four to five feet in diameter.
Limit: Must be part of the Inuzuka Clan in order to learn this technique, and Shikyaku no Jutsu, 四脚の術, (Four Legs Technique)

As the woman below flees like a coward Michiko plops a seat down on the disc as it slowly lowers back to the ground. "THIS is the hyuuga way you wanted to tell me about? Cowardice and fleeing when a fight actually starts? Do all hyuuga run from those superior to them in battle like cowardly dogs with their tails between their legs? Leaving your own partner at my mercy. THIS is the hyuuga way?" Michiko belts out a roaring laughter that screams across the skies and echo's into the very soul of ones being. Michiko hops down off the energy disc as it dissipates, she allows her cowardly foe to flee like the weakling she is. Turnning her gaze to her partner she haphazardly left behind to be at Michiko's mercy a thought crosses her mind. Tear out her guts and mail them to the hyuuga bitch. With a sigh she slowly exhales and shakes her head "No". " I just dont have time for that. How i wish i did. I havent had a good blood-letting in a long time." Her head cocks to the side as she examines the previously genjutsu'd person. It would be too easy. Not even worth it. And with that Michiko turns to seek out her previous partners.

Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body. Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form. Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active.

Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training.

Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body.

When the user first learns this technique the user trains it as a regular "C" Rank Jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters. For every 50 meters the user trains an additional +10 Training Points added to their previous training. The user also suffers a penalty to Observation checks every 15 meters instead of every 3 meters. If user loses an eye (has 1 eye) Telescopic Eye is reduced by 50%.

[AMATERASU]

I rose, groggy. It seemed a brief battle had occurred here. My travelling companion was gone. The nosferatu was gone. His minions of the darkness were gone. I was alone, and beaten, the rain washing away the torrents of blood which covered me. My pride was wounded, and I burned with the resolve to kill that nightwalker some day. But not today. I was too weak. Forgive me Sister Griselda, I really am just a power-idiot.

I walked away, in a direction chosen probably at random. I had no idea where I was, or where I was going.
