Of Things Lost [Epic Thread]

[Madame Loki]

There would be a laughter over the radio after Ryu finished his second round of threats. "I see... so you were spying on us? Ah... that makes sense... you killed Jessie first. Spied on us with her radio, used her dead body to get Duke off his game, probably dealt enough damage to give you the edge for the rest of the battle." Reggie was cold, and calculating, he wasn't one to get scared, Jeremiah's presence was startling, but he held his cool well enough to evade his persuit. "So, that means you're at the very least least decently fast, otherwise you'd have no chance against Jessie... being a kid I doubt you can produce any real physical power. Which would explain why even if you did manage to get the drop of Duke, he still was able to fight on."

Reggie was going through the events in his mind. He was far smarter than his other two peers, and that was being to show already. He smirked to himself as he saw Ryu coming. However, he did not take aim at the boy. "You know, it's a good thing you kept the radio. It makes this next part easier." As Ryu came closer to the building he would notice that there were others here, all of them where there receiving medical attention from, the devastation that Duke had caused. "Look at the woman in white to your left." Reggie would chuckle, as Ryu would spot a red dot on the back of the woman's neck. "You seem like a little bad ass, but I wonder if that's true. I'm going to pull this trigger, and that woman will die. I know what you are... Kyoudo brat. My ammo has no metal for you to play with, or for any of these fake Kyoudo here to play with either."

Reggie's laugh sounded over the radio, and then he would whisper, "So what will you do? Try and save these people? Or let them die, and come for my head?" Reggie chuckled as he let loose a shot, that sailed from the his gun and would target the woman next to Ryu. Like he said before, all he had to do was stall, and he had plenty of targets to choice from in this place to keep the boy occupied. What would Ryu do? Let a couple of people die while he made his way to Reggie, or try and prevent anyone from dying, while Yeshua rapidly made his way towards him? After he fired off the first shoot Ryu would notice the red dot moving along the wall, as Reggie was leading him to his next target.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu chuckled and thought typical. This one may be smarter than the brain dead duo, but he was still far from Loki. Ryutatsu figured he would try something like this hence the shield of lightning he had already had. So that first bullet was struck down by a lightning bolt without Ryutatsu even slowing down. He was now barreling towards Reggie for dealing with a terrorist like Reggie it is better to end it quick versus wasting time trying to help every person. Ryutatsu was a good kid and honorable yes. But altruistic he was not, he didn't owe these people nothing and their blood would be on Reggie not him. 

His water clones spread out to help the people for he didn't need them himself. Three followed the red dot while one did stop to be in front of the struck down bullet just in case and would use it's kunai to defend the woman. And the fifth kept up with the original Ryutatsu. Ryutatsu also put energy into possessing two of his Kunai, the axe on his back and a pair of knives. He had a plan for them later as he came to base of the tower and began his ascent. 

"Nice Try Reggie. They are not my villagers. The fewest will die if i get to you quickly. Maybe think of something more original you terrorist. Now I have no qualms about killing you. Consider your offer of surrender revoked. Their blood is on you and that monster Duke."

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: If the charged weapon touches the opponent's skin, they receive a potent electric shock in addition to any damage the weapon may make on it's own. When used, this jutsu gives one charge, and one charge only.
Special: Half-Ram.
Drawback: None.
Description: Gives any metal weapon an electric charge. The weapon must be held when the jutsu is activated. The required handseals only uses one hand, so the other hand holds the weapon. The weapon itself undergoes no visible change, the opponent would have no idea about it unless they witnessed the technique being used.
Limit: Lightning Release needed.

Shield of lightning
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes lightning to strike nearby targets (Up to 5 meters) to the user.
Special: Dragon, Ox
Drawback: The concentrated strikes of lightning close to the user will easily give away the users location, making stealth impossible. This will only stop projectile metals (Like kunai and shuriken) taijutsu, and certain projectile ninjutsu, such as rocks and wood. The user must concentrate on targets, so if they don't see some kunai coming at them from behind, then the lightning won't hit them, and the user will take some kunai to the back!
Description: The user performs the handseals, and then focuses on targets around him/her. Lightning will strike the target. The user must be prepared to react fast to stop oncoming projectiles/taijutsu. The lightning can hit anything within a 5 meter radius of the user.
Limit: Lightning release

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Suiton: Mizu Kunai no Jutsu (Water Kunai)
Rank: “C”
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates Kunai, Shiruken, or Senbon out of water.
Special: "Handseals"
Description: The user creates Kunai, Shiruken, or Senbon out of water. The user can create a total of five kunai, fifteen shiruken, or twenty five senbon at once with the jutsu. After striking a solid object, they lose their shape about three seconds later,
Limit: Water Release

Uncanny Dodge
Rank: “B”
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: The user is no longer be flat-footed.
Special: –-
Drawback: –-
Description: The user can react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They cannot be caught flat-footed, nor do they lose any Defensive benefits if the attacker is invisible. The user still loses their Defensive benefits if they are immobilized. A user with this ability can still lose their Defensive Abilities if an opponent successfully uses a feint attack. If the user already knows Uncanny Dodge from a different source, they may automatically learn Improved Uncanny Dodge.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Heaven Shapeless: Dodge
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used to dodge and evade attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user learns how to proficiently dodge and evade flying objects as well as oncoming weapons through predicting the attacks. A very useful technique since the Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single) has no defensive capabilities. The user will stand in one position and learn the minimum amount of movements required to avoid an attack. The bending of the body at a rapid pace is essential to this technique as well as ducking, side-stepping, jumping, and bobbing/weaving. Each rank the user learns the user is capable of effectively knowing how to evade a technique equal in rank.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single).

Nameru (To Taste)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki (Drifting Snow).

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) (20 Meters) (25 Rounds)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

[Madame Loki]

"Interesting... I thought Kyoudo looked out for each other? To think you'd let other unsuspecting Kyoudo die, interesting." As he said this several explosions would go off as the bolts he fired off with explosive tip. Each one would split into 5 additional explosives with the same power. The Water clones would not be enough to defend the off guard Kyoudo. Reggie started to laugh, as Ryu made his way to the tower, "This isn't my village either, but unlike you I'm not bond to these people by blood. But it seems yours runs cold." Reggie continued to laugh as it let loose another shot into the screaming crowd who were still trying to figure out what the hell was going on.

Reggie then quickly poked his head out of the tower and aimed down at Ryu. And Let loose another shot. However, this shot was not aimed at Ryu, but the large Axe of Dukes that he had brought with him. Foolish kid should have put it down somewhere. Not only would it slow him down, and make his movements a little clumsy as the weapon was large than he was in both length and weight, it would give Reggie an easy target to strike. Like he said before he didn't need to kill the kid, he just had to stall. The bolt connected to the Axe's blade and had a controlled explosion, aimed to knock Ryu off of the 150m tower, in since Reggie was on the top floor of, at least for the moment.  Another thing Ryu would probably notice was the explosions were completely silent.  Reggie was truly a stealth marksmen, but with his position blown how would he react?

"Terrorist... AHAHAHAHA!. Welcome to the real world kid. All's fair as long as you get the job done. I'll kill all I need to and put the blame on you once you're dead. Then I'll go from Terrorist to Hero... Free meals from Liquid Lightning..." Reggie's chuckle continued to sound over the radio. He was chatting quite a bit, was this just his personality, or was he up to something a little more sly than that?

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu smiled as Reggie tried to aim for the large axe. For it wasn't making him clumsy at all as it had no weight for him as the moment. He had it floating in front of him like a shield. And the Lighting Shield was still doing it's job. So any bolts that got within five meters of the kid were struck down by lighting along with the explosives. The explosives really didn't surprise him even the slightest after Jessie pulled the same trick. It was one of the reasons it was pointless to try to defend every civilian.

So far only a couple would have been injured by those explosions though. For that was two bolts that were completely exploded before they could split and the one that the water clones would have tracked would have taken the three clones and their kunai leaving just a couple un-aimed explosions around the civilians as those would have been split off explosions. Ryutatsu launched the Axe at speed towards Reggie, aiming to hit but not caring if it missed for it would still require Reggie to move out of it's way and get a new bead on him.

Ryutatsu was much unlike Shiki in feeling particular bound by blood of the Kyoudo. He felt bound to Shiki because of the relationship they built once they found they had blood between them. He felt bound even to Loki not that he particular knew her well because of her kindness and because of Nightin Gale. Anyways once the axe was launched it wasn't really guided by him once it passed twenty meters. But it did give him time to start ascending the tower. Several floors he would make it up not even slowed. He did wonder about the talking but more so about the silence from anyone else.

"Reggie, Reggie. That same logic works in reverse if I kill you, all the blame can be on you. and Unlike me the people around here know you mercs. So people will know the truth once they hear it. Everyone knew Duke was a monster, and that Jessie was a brat. And they probably know your a little coward. You lack honor so its gonna feel good to get rid of you. "

Ryutatsu had two clones left both of them quickly hid inside the tower as well. They began to try to cut off exit routes. For Reggie wasn't going to stay to get sliced that was for sure. Ryutatsu wasn't that stupid, Reggie had an exit strategy and Ryutatsu had to counter it. Luckily there are only so many exits to a tower. Especially tall ones like this one. With Ryutatsu's speed he would be able to ascend the tower at a fair clip too, probably between a third to half way up in no time at all.

Stealthy explosions though was a new one on Ryutatsu as another set explosions took on the crowd. He felt a little bad for them but really the sooner he could stop Reggie the more uninjured there would be.

[Madame Loki]

Reggie poked his head his head out again to take another shot at Ryu, but saw the Axe coming his way. He quickly ducked his head back inside as it passed by. "Ah, but that's the rub isn't it kid? I don't care what people think of me... especially if I'm dead." Reggie would chuckle over the radio. "So naive... honor? Honor is worthless. Honor is what get's you killed. It's killed or be killed kid, that's all that matters." As Reggie said this a shot curved out of the window and angled down towards Ryu. Reggie had just curved not 1 but 2 shots, and neither of them were heading straight towards Ryu. They would clash into the side of the building.

The first would explode right in Ryu's running path. The other missed and would sail over his head. Exploding near the the ground almost on the opposite side of the build, from where Ryu was. Several more shots would fire off and and explode with expert control into the building surrounding the crowd, making it seem like the damage form Duke's rampage was still taking place. After all the rumbles, and the sprouting of boiling Geysers could still be seen even form here. "I've killed many an Honorable men... this coward. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is who is left alive to tell the story. History was and is made by cowards, who survived long enough to write their version of History. While all those honorable warriors have died nameless and forgotten. But cheer up kid... you're more like me than you want to admit. Leaving those civilians to die... I would've have done the same thing."

Reggie laughed leaving Ryu to think about his actions. He pretended to be honorable, and maybe he truly thought he was, but he's actions didn't reflect it. "Maybe it's because your a kid and you don't understand. Or maybe you just don't want to believe. But answer me this, what's honorable about making a child watch their mother die? Would an honorable man let that happen even if they could stop it? You want to pretend that the blood is only on my hands, buy really if you just let it happen, that's on you too. But I think you now that, but it will hurt more if you try, and then fail. You're afraid of failure, so you take the easier route." Reggie snickered as another bolt was launched and curled out of the window, and head down towards a mother, walking with 2 small children. "It's ok... I understand little one. Us cowards have to stick together."

Reggie's smug laughter echo-ed over the radio static.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu shook his head but he had the assurance that only a kid have of the morals he stood by. Either way the words Reggie was spouting did not even cause him to hesitate. At this point the only way to protect the civilians was to stop Reggie. In the time it took Reggie to shoot the two bullets around Ryutatsu then several into the crowd around the building below and then again re aim at the mother Ryutatsu was within twenty meters of Reggie.

The Bullets that had flown over and around/ near Ryutatsu had gotten to close. Neither made it to where Reggie wanted them to and got struck down by lightning. The shaking due to the other explosions though was annoying. In the intervening space Ryutatsu threw together well familiar hand seals since the lightning rods were down. He made the lightning petals appear for thirty meters around.

Ryutatsu with a another set of hand seals made on petal explode right in the path of the bullet aimed for the mother of two kids. This would ensure that it never reached its target as Ryutatsu made the final run for his target. He was in range now of Reggie so Reggie's delays were up. It was finally time to battle. In a flash a sliver of wind was upon Reggie trying to slice him in two.

This was the Dragon Strike of the Busosen Style. Between on instant and the next attacks can rain down on a foe. And this was no different a case as he sliced at Reggie cutting at him with a near invisible blade of wind from a distance no reasonable person would expect from a sword. Ryutatsu was using Reggie's arrogance against him for this foe proved even more disgusting than the last two. There would be no mercy here.

This was just the opening Salvo as Ryutatsu closed the remaining distance between them. But more so Reggie would now feel the annoying stings as petals floated past him and touched him. None was really damaging but he would feel like he was getting stung each time. More so His vision would be too clouded by the mass of petals for accurate shots into the crowds anymore by the density of them in front of him.

Description: With additional training with the sakurai no jutsu the user is able to increase the amount of sakurai petals they can create upon casting the Sakurai no Jutsu to almost double what they were able to create upon first learning the jutsu. These additional petals allow for the Cherry Blossom Swirl Technique to withstand up to four C rank hits, allows the Sword Technique to create a weapon of Great Sword size, two Katana’s or ten weapons of kunai size or lesser, increases the range of the Lightning Constraints technique to twenty meters however it does not affect Sakurai techniques of A rank and above or the Lightning Razor technique.

Grabbing the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, the user thereafter steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. So swift is this technique that it is akin to a "flash", taking no movements to perform. When striking, the user is able to use air to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the user launches at foes. Upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so. Depending on the user’s Class Level depends on the distance of the strike.

Special: Half-Ram.
Drawback: None.
Description: Gives any metal weapon an electric charge. The weapon must be held when the jutsu is activated. The required handseals only uses one hand, so the other hand holds the weapon.

Limit: Lightning Release needed.

Shield of lightning
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes lightning to strike nearby targets (Up to 5 meters) to the user.
Special: Dragon, Ox
Drawback: The concentrated strikes of lightning close to the user will easily give away the users location, making stealth impossible. This will only stop projectile metals (Like kunai and shuriken) taijutsu, and certain projectile ninjutsu, such as rocks and wood. The user must concentrate on targets, so if they don't see some kunai coming at them from behind, then the lightning won't hit them, and the user will take some kunai to the back!
Description: The user performs the handseals, and then focuses on targets around him/her. Lightning will strike the target. The user must be prepared to react fast to stop oncoming projectiles/taijutsu. The lightning can hit anything within a 5 meter radius of the user.
Limit: Lightning release

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

Limit: Water Release

Uncanny Dodge
Rank: “B”
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: The user is no longer be flat-footed.
Special: –-
Drawback: –-
Description: The user can react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They cannot be caught flat-footed, nor do they lose any Defensive benefits if the attacker is invisible. The user still loses their Defensive benefits if they are immobilized. A user with this ability can still lose their Defensive Abilities if an opponent successfully uses a feint attack. If the user already knows Uncanny Dodge from a different source, they may automatically learn Improved Uncanny Dodge.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Heaven Shapeless: Dodge
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used to dodge and evade attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user learns how to proficiently dodge and evade flying objects as well as oncoming weapons through predicting the attacks. A very useful technique since the Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single) has no defensive capabilities. The user will stand in one position and learn the minimum amount of movements required to avoid an attack. The bending of the body at a rapid pace is essential to this technique as well as ducking, side-stepping, jumping, and bobbing/weaving. Each rank the user learns the user is capable of effectively knowing how to evade a technique equal in rank.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single).

Nameru (To Taste)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki (Drifting Snow).

Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) (20 Meters) (25 Rounds)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.
Special: -
Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

[Madame Loki]

There where several miscalculations in Ryu's attack. The lightning Rods may very well be down in the part of the town that Duke had destroyed. However, this part of town was mostly intact besides the damage that Reggie had caused. Reggie was being chased by a Wolf that seemed to disappear and reappear with the crack of lightning. The smart move was to move to the part of the town where Lightning rods where still functional. That wasn't Ryu's only mistake. He may have been only 20m, but he was 20m away from the floor Reggie was located. He would still need to go through the window, and locate Reggie within the room.

He sword attack would just flail into the side of the building breaking apart some of the footing that it provided as he ran up the side of the tree. This would just make the final 20m up the side of the tower more difficult. As Ryu sent the lightning petals out they would veer off course and fly towards the Lightning rods in the area. As this was happening another volley of Bolt came out of the tower window on the top floor. Reggie didn't poke his head out this time, he seemed to be shooting blind. The bolts that he fired curved was they headed out the window, and headed straight for Ryu at an awkward angle.

"You're not thinking clearly are you? My talk must be getting to you... If that's the case, I can end you myself.... come to your death boy. I Will enjoy killing you." Reggie sounded over the radio beginning to become more confident as the situation progressed, or at least that was what he was portraying.


-Yeshua arrives in 158 rounds.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu grunted as the snake hid back in the building making the slice flail into the building. No matter the last twenty meters were easy for he was going to come through the window like expected. Though it was disappointing that the petals were going to be of no more use and Ryutatsu let the drain of those go. It was no matter for the moment, for while he loved his lightning he wasn't completely dependent on them.

So he would race up another ten meters or so and then teleport to right next to Reggie who he could pinpoint by the sound of his voice and his breathing. Ryutatsu didn't need line of sight to figure out where Reggie was within twenty meters. And he used that to his advantage. Even as he appeared Nightin Gale was flashing out of his sheath. Ryutatsu was going to start off strong for he had only so much time before the Boss came in. Besides this cretin was getting on his nerves.

Ryutatsu slashed at Reggie's neck with the Keihatsu Ryuu: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki. Even if Reggie was smart enough to divine the secret of the move, he would still be sucked into the vacuum of a even more powerful strike against Reggie. Ryutatsu would then add his own variation to it by following through with a third strike, Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen, from his sheath. And he wasn't done for Reggie had earned his wrath.

Ryutatsu would then follow through with a series of lightning quick attacks from the Tensora Style known as the Quadruple strafe. With the fifth attack literally being a dodge to whatever counter Reggie could come up with and then countering with a speed step through him. Finishing with a lightning quick sheathing with the sound of a Dragon's Howl. Stunning whoever was too close anyways. His frustration at the first two opponents made him less likely to give Reggie even an ounce of breathing room.

The user can also instill a sense of calm over those that perceive the sword and hear these words spoken, for 25 minutes. They will need to make a will save of 35 to avoid the effect. Any made save against this effect renders the target immune to this effect from this item ever again. The blade has a wide, twisted cross-guard, which makes sure the blade is both balanced and capable of protecting the owner's hands against any sliding sword and is held by a grip wrapped in elegant, black smooth leather. The scabbard has a beautiful intricate Leaf and flower designed based off of cherry blossom tree and roses.

Flying Shock
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: If the charged weapon touches the opponent's skin, they receive a potent electric shock in addition to any damage the weapon may make on it's own. When used, this jutsu gives one charge, and one charge only.
Special: Half-Ram.
Drawback: None.

The weapon itself undergoes no visible change, the opponent would have no idea about it unless they witnessed the technique being used.
Limit: Lightning Release needed.

Keihatsu Ryuu: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (Flash of the Heavenly Flying Dragon)
Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A 2 part attack where if an opponent avoids or blocks will find themselves sucked towards the opponent as a second stronger strike commenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Normally, a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot, however, at the last moment before the attack, the user adds yet another step mid-draw with the foot adjacent to the sheath before drawing his sword. This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword's path and draws one even closer to an opponent's sword than usual, but on the other hand, boosts both the power and the speed of the Battōjutsu swing. This technique is a two-step move and, if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step comes immediately into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user. Additionally, with the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing leads naturally into a spin akin to the Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen (Paired Dragon Strike). The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both side results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must have Mastered Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen (Paired Dragon Strike)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user uses both their sword and their sheath to do this move. The user starts with the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture) and allows the opponent strike first. At the last moment, the user draws their blade performing Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) to hit the opponent. If the opponent somehow manages to dodge the first attack, the user follows through with their sheath. The sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood, but if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as powerful insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when it's least expected. Unsheathing the sword takes up no movements when performing the first attack, however the second attack does take up a movement. The user sacrifices a movement when sheathing the sword.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must know Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade).

[Madame Loki]

Ryu would teleport to where he believe Reggie to be, but he immediately realize that there was no one there for him to attack. There would be the sounds of laughing coming from the room as a radio laid on the ground next to Ryu's foot, "Hey kid... bet you're wondering where I am..." There was then the sounds of rumbling, and explosions, as the explosions went off the building Ryu was in would began to lean failing towards the north, the opposite side of the widow that Ryu had hopped into. "I'mm sure you're also wondering what that sound was and what it means for you." Reggie started to laugh as the building continue to break down and began to lean even more.

"You think I was just going to stay in this room, waiting for you to climb up the side and kill me? Naive. Just like a child to rush head first into the unknown, once you make him feel a little special." Reggie started to laugh. Reggie had left the tower the moment he looked out over the side and Ryu launched the Large axe at him. He saw how close he was getting and immediately left to his retreating point. This is why he didn't bother looking out the window to shoot. He curved his shoot from a building about 50m away to the Northwest direction from the building curving his shot through the window.

How he could see Ryu from where he was, is a mystery for Ryu to solve. If Ryu took the time to examine the both inside and outside of the building before he ran up it's side, he would have noticed to explosive charges at it's base. This would seem to be his plan all along. "Admittedly, my initial plan was to hold the civilians hostage. But I always have a Plan A-Y minimum... welcome to plan B..." Reggie started to laugh. As the building would start to fall over in earnest. If Ryu looked over the window he would be able to See Reggie some 50m away on top of a building waving at Ryu.

Truth be told this was more of a plan C, thanks to Jeremiah, he didn't have the time to prime the whole bottom of the building like he was hoping, to bring the entire thing falling down around him. He figured with the boys speed, he be able to run down the side before the building completely fell over, but that was fine. As he said... he just needed to stall. Reggie began to run deeper into the town, knowing that Ryu wouldn't be too far behind. He would need to keep his eye out for the Monster, while setting more surprises for him. Fortunately, he possessed the tool necessary. There was nothing that escaped his eyes.

- There are 153 turns before Yeshua arrives.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu raised an eyebrow but didn't even waste his movement for his attack on a Reggie that wasn't there as the radio crackled to life. Interesting a man who escaped fifty feet through the air thus bypassing his clones guarding any real other exit route. More interesting was how he fooled Ryutatsu's enhanced senses that would pinpoint anything within twenty meters. So this man was at least on par with the earlier two if he can full his A Classed senses. What frustrated him was more the delay that he couldn't afford. And the Boss would be here in only a few more minutes it would seem. 

It would seem the chase was on at least the man was only fifty meters away now. So just like Reggie probably assumed Ryutatsu made great speed down the falling tower right towards Reggie. Following him deeper into the town. Ryutatsu was expecting traps along the way and kept his senses peeled for that. This man was more in love with explosives than Jessie was. Jessie played at marksman and demolitionist, this man made it an annoying art. Jessie probably learned from this guy for those extra abilities. 

Ryutatsu though wasn't out of tricks yet himself, going deeper into town meant more flowers for him to use too. For there was always flower carts and shops in any decent size town. As he sped after Reggie he would be on the look out for these as well. But this situation reminded him a lot of Jessie. Worse though he was gonna have the Boss on them and there wasn't much he could do about that. But maybe Jeremiah's or Loki's plan accounted for this. Because Ryutatsu knew from the earlier chatter someone else already disappeared Deborah and tried to kill another of their number. 

There was a sense that everything was coming to a head now. The Boss was going to be a challenge but at least it would only be the terrorist Reggie to support him and not Jessie or Duke. He would hate to see either of those two helping out this Boss. Reggie while the smartest of the three seemed less of a physical threat to him and more just a threat to the town in general. 

Either way he picked up his speed and was saving as much as he could for what promised to be a hard fight. He had all of his Shunshins left as well as three Blinks, hopefully that would be enough. Ryutatsu just because there was nothing better to do than continue to rattle Reggie's cage. "Nice, So thanks for that info. So one plan down and only twenty five more to go. Thank you, I am still on plan A. By the way, who is to say the black dog of death is only a dog. " Ryutatsu laughed over the radio. Now Reggie would be looking over his shoulder for everything he couldn't immediately rule out. 

Meanwhile the two remaining Water Clones were running to either side of Reggie through the town but hidden by buildings and other debris. Flanked to either side they were using the same speed advantage and the paying attention to Ryutatsu prime to their advantage. For Reggie would soon find his path cut off by two boiling water Ryutatsu's. All they had to do was get the man to either slow down or divert. Either way would by time for the Real Ryutatsu to be up on him. Fifty meters was not that far at all so Ryutatsu was right of this Terrorist's tail. They actually had another advantage as well for they would have spotted when Reggie left the tower thanks to Reggie's own thing about line of sight. And while he was talking and waving at Ryutatsu they would have already been ahead. 

[Madame Loki]

Reggie laughed as the clones were in clear view. Well in clear view to him. Most others would have no idea where the Clones were coming from. Reggie had put his Sniper rifle on his back and pulled out two Guns. He held his gun's out to his side as he seemed the track the clones with them. As the clones came to cut him off, as soon as they turned the corner, they would receive a face full of explosive tip bolt. He did not slow down as he passed by the destroyed Clones, instead he took a sharp left right turn as he tucked his guns away and rubbed his hands along the wall as he turned the corner.

Reggie was faster than he seemed, he wasn't as fast as Jessie, but he was much fast than Duke. As Reggie turned the corner, and winked at Ryu, it would be his first clear viewing of Reggie. He would be able to see veins protruding on the side of his face as blood was pumped aggressively into his eyeballs. If Ryu had any experience the Hyuuga clan, he would be able to recognize the Byakugan that Reggie wielded, and it was a powerful one at that. He was a run away branch member, who spent most of his life on the run, and he had learned to do anything to maintain that freedom. It was not going to let it all end at the hands of some child.

Other than Reggie's eyes Ryu would be able to spot several pots of flowers along the alley way. There were located all over the town in fact. There was very little plant life in the area so the residence went out of there way to plant as much greenry as they could. Reggie chuckled as he sent a round curving around the corner at Ryu. Over the radio he would hear, "Trying to rattle me kid? Nice try... There's no mistaking that Chakra system. I'll see it long before it sees me, regardless of what it maybe." Reggie's eyes was the reason he was able to avoid Jeremiah so far. It was the reason he was able to avoid the Hyuuga Main Branch hes entire life. The thought that a child could accomplish what they could not, was laughable.

- There are 138 turns before Yeshua arrives. -

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu smiled grimly as his Clones were destroyed. But the greenery around them was good. The man Reggie was vastly overconfident. But seeing those eyes he knew two things for while he didn't have much experience with the Hyuuga clan he knew enough. One thing was for sure he needed to make sure he was very careful at even being touched by the man, and second that surprise was useless. The Hyuuga he had met before made those two things very obvious to Ryutatsu. That man before simply was one of the best in the dojo he grew up in and also a very cruel and arrogant man.

But that very arrogance could be the downfall of Reggie. Ryutatsu formed a few hand seals to make another clone using the flowers of the surrounding area. And to make this entire area a field of flowers. For he knew how to multiply his good fortune. Ryuatatsu would spend his chakra on relatively weak jutsu by themselves after he had created the flower clone. For the flowers in front of Reggie with enough distance that he could not cover it before Ryutatsu was done, would decompose becoming more seeds. Then Ryutatsu would then block in Reggie by the simple method of growing Cherry Blossom trees in his path. These Flowering trees had two purposes. The first would definitely slow Reggie down.

Secondly his clone would do it's own hand seals. First would be formed would be a petal katana. The second though would be making that katana into a series of petals that would seek out more petals. Those petals came easily from the flowers and trees
Ryutatsu was using and making. So suddenly their would be twenty Katana under the control of a flower clone heading at Reggie with the Speed of a Tai-specialist of A Class. They would fly at Reggie from just about every conceivable direction. From above would be five from front and back would be five apiece and two from each side. And at least one making itself known as trying to come from a low angle from the right side.

Reggie would have to try to avoid twenty different piercing attacks that were controlled by a Flower clone and still have to figure away around a series of trees hedging him in. Ryutatsu also used the walls to his advantage so the only real direction left to the man was up where five katana were flying at Reggie from.

Hana Bunshin (Flower Clone)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone from Flowers
Special: ”Hand Seals”
Drawback: Weak to Katon.
Description: After forming hand seals flowers from around the user begin to swirl and form together. Being made of flowers, these clones will disintegrate after a single hit. After they fall apart, the flowers can still be used in flower techniques unless destroyed. These clones are capable of performing Ikebana techniques. At the cost of the clone destroying itself, it can use the flowers of its own body to perform a technique.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan.

Hana Kamei: Kafun (Flower Command: Pollinate!)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a flower, or flowers, to instantly decompose into a mass of pollen which then bundle together to form seeds.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: This technique may not be used in order to manipulate the herbalism system to mass produce plants. It may only be used to create flowers for Ikebana techniques. Weak to fire.
Description: Utilizing their great command over flowers, the member of the Ikebana Clan will perform the required hand seals, inserting their chakra into the flower. The flower, then, will instantly break itself down into a great amount of pollen, which then condenses and forms into seeds. A singular flower can create as much as twenty seeds. An area of up to five square meters may be targeted with this ability. When used in conjunction with Hana Kamei: Jiten!, the user is capable of spreading the seeds out far and wide in order to create a larger field of flowers.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Puranto Ninpou: Haeru.

Hana Ninpou: Hana Katana (Flower Ninja Art: Flower Sword)
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a great amount of flower petals to condense around the user’s hand to form a regular length katana composed of the petals.
Special: Hand Seals
Drawback: Causes an extra E rank chakra expenditure every turn that the sword is maintained.
Description: There are times whenever the Ikebana would be caught without a weapon. In these situations, the flower ninja can perform this technique. Upon completing the hand seals and extending their hand outwards, the user will cause a great number of flowers around them to rise forward and condense into a powerful cutting weapon. Infused with the user’s chakra, the sword will be sharp and sturdy, capable of matching against their steel brethren easily. However, the Ikebana will also have a huge advantage over the opponent, as the weapon, composed out of flower petals, is significantly lighter than other weapons.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Petal Blades

Hana Katana Ninpou: Kageyoshi (Flower Sword Ninja Art: Vibrant Display)
Rank: "A"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create a vast number of Hana Katana at once, and control them in a manner similar to Hana Katana Ninpou: Odori.
Special: The user will infuse their Hana Katana with a great amount of chakra. Then, dropping their Hana Katana towards the ground, they will cause the sword to break apart into the hundreds of petals that the katana is made out of. These flower petals will fly out and touch other flowers, which will cause their petals to break apart and fly about, touching other flowers and causing the same reaction. Within a short moment, a whole field of flowers can be imbued with the user’s chakra. Then, with the performance of the Tiger Hand seal, the user will cause all of the flower petals to condense into a great number of Hana Katanas, which can then be controlled by the user’s hands and chakra.
Drawback: Drains a C rank amount of chakra per turn from the user. Only other Hana Katana techniques may be utilized when this technique is active.
Description: A dangerous technique to utilize, due to its’ great amount of chakra drain, it is one that is mainly only used to counter multiple opponents. Utilizing their connection with the flower plants around them, the Ikebana will spread their chakra about a great deal of flowers, utilizing their Hana Katana as a basis for the chakra manipulation. The numerous flower petals will rise into the air, condensing themselves into a number of Hana Katana, whose number can range anywhere between two and twenty, based upon the number of flower petals available for manipulation. Due to the chakra connection between the user and the flowers, the user may control these blades with motions from his or her hand(s) and fingers.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Hana Katana Ninpou: Odori (Flower Sword Ninja Art: Dance).

Puranto Ninpou: Ueki
Rank: "C", "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A technique which makes Silene seeds sprout into trees.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: The user must keep their hands on the ground to make the tree grow. When the user removes their hands from the ground, the growth stops.
Description: Before the technique the user must take a Silene seed and place it within a five meter radius of them on the ground. After performing the required hand seals the user places their hands on the ground to feed their chakra to the seed. The Silene seed absorbs the chakra and uses it to speed its natural growth rate: The tree grows normally, from a seedling that emerges from the ground to an adult tree, just in three seconds. If the user removes their hands from the ground, the tree remains the way it is at the moment. The species of the tree depends on the user’s desire though all women of Ikebana clan can innately create a maple tree and all men an oak, and for some people these “family trees” are the only species they care to grow. Upon learning the second C rank of the technique the user no longer needs to leave their hands on the ground while the technique is going, they just must continue feeding their chakra into it.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Puranto Ninpou: Haeru

Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.

[Madame Loki]

Ryu would never get the chance to create the clones as it seemed in his haste to attack he had missed the round that Reggie had shot at him that curve around the corner. He would be struck by a Fire Explosion, dealing 36 armor points of fire damage, to the young ninja. He Lightning Shield had long since faded away, (looking over it again, it has no time limit on it, so I must assume it lasts only as long as you continually preform it.) Although in this case the Lighting Shield wouldn't help much in this situation being that the explosive tip bolt had no metal in it.

The force of the blast wouldn't hurt much, but it would knock him off his feet, allowing Reggie to put more distance between the two of them. Ryu would still have to get off of the ground and chase Reggie around the corner. Reggie would look back and made a hand seal, setting off an explosive tag that he placed on the building as he turned the corner. He was going to try and blow the kid up with it, but there was no point in trying to get greedy. He set it off now to cut off the line of sight between him and the kid so that he would make a move to escape completely from his sight. He stopped for just a moment to figure out where he was going to go next. The boys lapse in judgement, had bought him a little time.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu was hit by the projectile for his heighten senses catches everything that comes within twenty meters but for some reason he wasn't that quick off the mark and caught it. Ryutatsu never needed the Lightning Shield for his defense it was just a way to not get slowed down by dodging. But god said he shall be smote and he was but that wasn't stopping the kid for his speed allowed him to recover quickly and continue. The explosive tag again was expected and spotted so he was able to not get caught in it's small blast radius. Reggie was using the same tricks over and over, they only work so many times. 

And The great eyes of Reggie would see something else odd from the smoldering cloak of Ryutatsu besides the fact that it had more burn marks than grilled chicken. He would notice that Ryutatsu was already healing the fire damage. It wasn't as good as teh accelerated healing of Duke but it wasn't anything to sneeze at either. 

Ryutatsu finished a few hand seals to make another clone using the flowers of the surrounding area, and to make this entire area a field of flowers. Ryuatatsu would spend his chakra on relatively weak jutsu by themselves after he had created the flower clone. For the flowers in front of Reggie with enough distance that he could not cover it before Ryutatsu was done especially since he thought he had hit the kid, would decompose becoming more seeds.

Ryutatsu was right behind the back Katana and was coming in for the kill.

Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A 2 part attack where if an opponent avoids or blocks will find themselves sucked towards the opponent as a second stronger strike commenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Normally, a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot, however, at the last moment before the attack, the user adds yet another step mid-draw with the foot adjacent to the sheath before drawing his sword. This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword's path and draws one even closer to an opponent's sword than usual, but on the other hand, boosts both the power and the speed of the Battōjutsu swing. This technique is a two-step move and, if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step comes immediately into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user. Additionally, with the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing leads naturally into a spin akin to the Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen (Paired Dragon Strike). The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both side results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must have Mastered Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Ryu would not be able to create the trees the way he intended. The failure would be for several reasons, but the most important one would be that Silene Seeds are needed to grow the trees. Even if he had the seeds in question it would take them 3 seconds to grow completely out of the ground, on top of that he would need to be within 5 meters of the silene seed as he continuously feed chakra into the seeds. Even if he mastered the technique to the point where he didn't need his hands to touch the ground, he would not be able to properly feed the seeds with his feet constantly in motion off of the ground.

Logistically, it was impossible for Ryu to accomplish with any kind of procession, with the limited time he had and trying to catch a fast moving target. However, the area would be filled with flowers, which caught Reggie off guard a bit, he slid to a stop as he saw the the flower clones created in front of him. "Hmm, you control flowers huh... That I did not know. Well, this complicates things." Reggie said as she he rubbed the back of his head. The clones made their seal and created their Attack. There was enough flowers for the jutsu to be preformed. By Reggie started to run forward once again, planning to run right pass them.

The blades of flowers began to rain down on him, but he never turned his head. He wouldn't need to. He turned his body to the side as he squeezed between the swords that were attack him from the front. As the the swords rained down from above he contorted his body into an awkward position as his eyes tracked their path without having to look at them. He twisted out of the the leap forward which would bring him into the middle of the two clones. His spin out of his jump continued, as energy began to emit off of his body. And dome of energy quickly expanded out and would smack the clones into the wall. The Rotation would also deflect the 5 trailing sword that were coming from behind him. As Reggie's spin came to an end, he fired off two shots, while in his spinning motion.

The first would shot the flower blade out of the air with a fiery explosion and then next would be aimed at the charging Ryu. Reggie was going to try and escape, but he would need to fight right now. Fight for the chance to run away. He was crafty enough to make it happen, he just needed a single slight opening.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu and his flower clone smiled when Reggie started trying to contort to avoid the many flower swords. There was twenty of them but unlike un-directed projectiles they were not so easy to dodge. See they could change directions with just a twitch of fingers. So jumping through them would mean still getting hit by the five swords in the front. Each was super sharp and was a B rank strike. And because they were as light as air almost they could be directed at speeds most swords could not. The same could be said of the swords from above. Meaning ten swords out of a possible twenty were striking him turning him into ribbons. That being said nothing noticed was being said about the five from the sides so that would be another five for a total of fifteen Swords trying to turn him into ribbons until he did his little spin.

Ryutatsu's clone was just able to avoid it for he saw where Reggie was trying to leap to and backed they heck back to be out of range of any melee. For these flowers had the distance of line of sight. Ryutatsu himself though continued the charge avoiding the bolt of fiery explosion as it sailed right past his twisting body. The twist though was for more than avoiding as the flash of his sword slashed out at Reggie. It was his Busosen power move. The first S Class strike would be damaging enough but it's secret would be revealed if Reggie dodged or blocked it and suck him into an even stronger S Class Strike.

Not that he had much to move as even though he exploded one of the twenty swords into a fire ball burning up the petals that created it. There were still the nineteen that he had knocked back only a few meters away coming back in to slice at him some more. They lacked the finesse of Ryutatsu but made up for it by being floating blades slashing at the man. Now that Reggie's speed and running had been stopped he was open season to be cut to pieces.

Each Sword was B rank in of itself. The cost of such a jutsu with such deadly application was the drain of chakra. The clone had but a few moments to continue the jutsu but that should be all that was needed. They were piercing and slashing in turns as they flew at and around the Runner. Nineteen Flower Swords would be much for a bunch of people much less a single target. The Jutsu was made to engage a whole group but have the accuracy to be able to engage just one if needed.

Nor was Ryutatsu was done, even though he had to carefully place his swords so they didn't interfere with each other. Even as Nightin Gale would slice at and possibly through Reggie with Keihatsu Ryuu: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki, he would follow it with his sheath, Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen. A blow strong enough to break bones if need be. Not only that since this would be the first time since he added a charge to Nightin Gale that it tasted flesh an electrical surge would jolt through Reggie's Body. Ryutatsu learning his lesson about letting up from Duke, would continue his assault with the Quadruple Strafe of Tensora. By strike both shoulders and both kidneys he would try. And before the man whose touch was dangerous could bring up his crossbow Ryutatsu would use Tsuyosa Ryuu: Shunsoku to try to wrestle him and the bow to the ground. Only finishing with a Dragon's Howl as he sheathed his sword at impossible speeds.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone from Flowers
Special: ”Hand Seals”
Drawback: Weak to Katon.
Description: After forming hand seals flowers from around the user begin to swirl and form together. Being made of flowers, these clones will disintegrate after a single hit.

Special: Hand Seals
Drawback: Causes an extra E rank chakra expenditure every turn that the sword is maintained.
Description: There are times whenever the Ikebana would be caught without a weapon. In these situations, the flower ninja can perform this technique. Upon completing the hand seals and extending their hand outwards, the user will cause a great number of flowers around them to rise forward and condense into a powerful cutting weapon. Infused with the user’s chakra, the sword will be sharp and sturdy, capable of matching against their steel brethren easily. However, the Ikebana will also have a huge advantage over the opponent, as the weapon, composed out of flower petals, is significantly lighter than other weapons.

Hana Katana Ninpou: Kageyoshi (Flower Sword Ninja Art: Vibrant Display)
Rank: "A"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create a vast number of Hana Katana at once, and control them in a manner similar to Hana Katana Ninpou: Odori.
Special: The user will infuse their Hana Katana with a great amount of chakra. Then, dropping their Hana Katana towards the ground, they will cause the sword to break apart into the hundreds of petals that the katana is made out of. These flower petals will fly out and touch other flowers, which will cause their petals to break apart and fly about, touching other flowers and causing the same reaction. Within a short moment, a whole field of flowers can be imbued with the user’s chakra. Then, with the performance of the Tiger Hand seal, the user will cause all of the flower petals to condense into a great number of Hana Katanas, which can then be controlled by the user’s hands and chakra.
Drawback: Drains a C rank amount of chakra per turn from the user. Only other Hana Katana techniques may be utilized when this technique is active.
Description: A dangerous technique to utilize, due to its’ great amount of chakra drain, it is one that is mainly only used to counter multiple opponents. Utilizing their connection with the flower plants around them, the Ikebana will spread their chakra about a great deal of flowers, utilizing their Hana Katana as a basis for the chakra manipulation. The numerous flower petals will rise into the air, condensing themselves into a number of Hana Katana, whose number can range anywhere between two and twenty, based upon the number of flower petals available for manipulation. Due to the chakra connection between the user and the flowers, the user may control these blades with motions from his or her hand(s) and fingers.
Limit: Must be in the Ikebana Clan. Must know Hana Katana Ninpou: Odori (Flower Sword Ninja Art: Dance).

Nameru (To Taste)

Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.

Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used to dodge and evade attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user learns how to proficiently dodge and evade flying objects as well as oncoming weapons through predicting the attacks. A very useful technique since the Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single) has no defensive capabilities. The user will stand in one position and learn the minimum amount of movements required to avoid an attack. The bending of the body at a rapid pace is essential to this technique as well as ducking, side-stepping, jumping, and bobbing/weaving. Each rank the user learns the user is capable of effectively knowing how to evade a technique equal in rank.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Tensora (天空 Heavenly Sky), Must know Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single).

Uncanny Dodge
Rank: “B”
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: The user is no longer be flat-footed.
Special: –-
Drawback: –-
Description: The user can react to danger before their senses would normally allow them to do so. They cannot be caught flat-footed, nor do they lose any Defensive benefits if the attacker is invisible. The user still loses their Defensive benefits if they are immobilized.

Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Keihatsu Ryuu: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (Flash of the Heavenly Flying Dragon)
Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A 2 part attack where if an opponent avoids or blocks will find themselves sucked towards the opponent as a second stronger strike commenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Normally, a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot, however, at the last moment before the attack, the user adds yet another step mid-draw with the foot adjacent to the sheath before drawing his sword. This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword's path and draws one even closer to an opponent's sword than usual, but on the other hand, boosts both the power and the speed of the Battōjutsu swing. This technique is a two-step move and, if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step comes immediately into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user. Additionally, with the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing leads naturally into a spin akin to the Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen (Paired Dragon Strike). The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both side results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must have Mastered Busōsen (Arms Flash).

If the opponent somehow manages to dodge the first attack, the user follows through with their sheath. The sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood, but if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as powerful insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when it's least expected. Unsheathing the sword takes up no movements when performing the first attack, however the second attack does take up a movement. The user sacrifices a movement when sheathing the sword.

Effect: A sheathing technique that momentarily stuns opponents around the user.
Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot be used within 3 movements of performing a Battōjutsu technique.

[Madame Loki]

The forward blades were already in motion, begin that they were simple Flower Clones, and not possessing any of Ryu's physical abilities, it would hardly have the reaction speed, to exchange the attack pattern of the blades in the instant that Reggie dodged pass them, After crossing the threshold of the forward blades he would natural avoid the blades located on his sides, given the basic straight forward nature of the initial attack. The Clone would then correct the flight pattern of the blades, and they would race towards Reggie, would was in mid spin. The Rotation Jutsu was had a radius of 10 meters.

Again the clone did not posses any of Ryu's physical abilities, being composed of flimsy flower petals. Predicting the movements of an opponent let alone trying to avoid the rotation while controlling such a powerful jutsu, was far outside the range of such a simple clone. Such Low level clones were limited to basic movements, and jutsu related to the element or material they were created from. Expecting complex thought and multitasking from said clones was asking for the moon. This is way Reggie normally avoided to close quarters combat didn't hesitate to charge the clones. The rotation would Smash into the clones and dispersing them instantly, along with the jutsu's they controlled.

The swords of petals would fall to the ground as he sent out his shots. They would remain up long enough for his first shot to hit's mark, yet he grit hiss teeth as Ryu dodged the second shot. He didn't have much time to respond but he had to slow the kids rapid approach. Continuing the ending phase of his his spin he fired off two more shots. This were not aimed directly at Ryu but at his feet, to try and get him to stop in his tracks or at least change his course, to give him time to flee once again.



- Yeshua will arrive in 72 rounds. -

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu would grit his teeth as his clone would be hit and Reggie actual got past the swords. But it wouldn't be enough as Ryutatsu took control of the Jutsu himself though the strain would be great. It was his own chakra either way so it was easily done. So the falling swords would again rush towards Reggie. Ryutatsu would sacrifice two of the swords to catch the two explosive bolts. Leaving him with seventeen swords surrounding and slashing at Reggie. The flying swords had good swings and now faster reactions but not the fine control yet that he would have swinging a sword himself. He wasn't making them go through the patterns of Tensora or Busosen anyways at the moment. Though two of the swords seem particularly intent on the eyes of Reggie.

Ryutatsu himself didn't even slow down as the swords that caught the bolts burned up. He got in range for his sword to finally make the spinning swings of the mastery of Busosen and the additional swing of his sheath. The first hitting would be bad enough but the second was worse and the third would just be insult to injury. Of course he would continue to follow through with the pattern he had set about to do. The Quadruple strafe leaving little room to maneuver. And then his attempt at disarming Reggie before finally sheathing his sword in a howl of draconic proportions.

His enhanced senses ready for any more spins from Reggie now that he saw it once. He knew to be prepared for it. His best chance of ending this was to get rid of the eyes of Reggie and overwhelm even his three sixty sight. For while he could see all that was coming, it would still take a lot to avoid all of it. Especially since Ryutatsu was using less chakra than it would cost him to continuously spin. It would be matter of getting in that first electrified slice.

Though unknown to Ryutatsu an interesting fact had shown up. Two actually, one would be the location of the curse seal if he was indeed a branch member but Ryutatsu's lack of knowledge on the society of the Hyuuga made him unaware of where to look. Second was the fact that this 'branch' member performed a jutsu that was restricted to the main house. Again Ryutatsu wouldn't know this so he continued in his attack pattern unaware.

[Madame Loki]

Reggie was just recovering from his spin as the sword seemed to stay active, and were now flying towards his eyes. Reflexively she brought his hand up over his eyes, to protect them, seemingly throwing all logic out of the window. The Swords would pierce his hands, and he would be struck by Ryu's remaining attacks. "Shit..." Reggie said as he would fall over onto his knees. That was a rather fatal habit that he had, which is the main reason he avoided close quarters as much as possible. Reggie was a runaway Hyuuga precisely because he was a Branch Member with no curse seal. He fled before he could receive one. This wasn't his only transgression, as he obviously had gained knowledge of the Main Hounse techniques through less than noble means.

He always was looking over his shoulder, always on the look out for the Hyuuga clan. He was highly protective of his eyes, as it was the only thing that could keep him a step ahead of his enemies. The protectiveness progressively got to extreme levels, and his usual habit or tick developed. Reggie dropped to his knees with his hands pieced and bleeding heavily. He started to smile at Ryu, "God damn Flowers... hehehe. If I've known that." Reggie was quite right, if he had known about the boy's ability to control flowers he would have planned for that. He still didn't understand, he held the advantage on this kid, and yet he still manage to expose his weakness.

Was it a lucky guess? Or was it something else, "Hey kid tell me something... How'd you do it... really? You're not strong enough to kill us out right by yourself. So you briefed you on us? Or was it that beast that really did the killing?" Reggie didn't seem to be fighting his death like the other two. making bold claims of Yeshua avenging them. He didn't care for that nonsense. This was a game and he lost, it was that simple. After Ryu told him, if Ryu told him he smirked, "That makes sense... -sigh-... I'm so tired of running... this will be a relief. The notes in my inside jacket pocket... it may or may not be booby-trapped." Reggie started to chuckle a bit, as he wasn't going to make things that easy for the boy.

"Some advice for you with Yeshua... run. Fighting him is not an option. He could take Me, Duke, and Jessie on simultaneously, and barely broke a sweat. The only one who could match him, is Deborah... and her damn puppets. Run kid..." Reggie then fell face forward onto the ground he wasn't quite dead yet, only passed out from the massive blood loss.

- Yeshua will arrive in 22 rounds. -

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu shook his head as he finished Reggie off with slicing Reggie's head clean off. He had told the man he would take his head for the terrorist acts. He also let go of the jutsu to save his chakra and to prepare for the Boss. Reggie was not as hard as Duke and Jessie but took far longer than it needed to. But just getting in range was the problem there. Against this Boss, Loki said shove his sword up his but but that won't be a easy feat. This man will probably be an equal or more likely superior in both magnetism and sword work. A trap then needs to be set one that he may not sense. 

Ryutatsu looked at all the petals around him and smiled. Not long now, and there were still geysers here and there. Lets make this fight one with clones and hope for the best. With that he set up the area with petals and flowers having a Flower clone help him. But then he also remade the five boiling water clones with their Kunai. He made sure to hide all but the Flower Clone. Then he hid himself up on a roof over looking Reggie's body and the petal filled area. 

He had to job to do and each of these mercenaries were bad news. Now it was time to take out the leader. So he prepared to do just that. It was time for Ryutatsu to get as tricky as he could, he didn't have the puppets of Deborah maybe, but he could have twenty swords plus what the five clones carried. The Flower Clone was armed with a Rose Thorn Sword in katana shape.  Then Ryutatsu spread out some of his metal shavings to coat the ground where they will be battling. Underneath the ground he stuck a couple darts just for surprises if the Boss becomes complacent. 

Ryutatsu after he finished prepping the battle field with flowers petals and a lightning trap set up to happen if one came down the alley just a little bit. He also coated his Nightin Gale in a charge of electricity. Then he waited and meditated for what time he had left. Healing the rest of the burns that Reggie had given him. And just to be sure a minute or so before the Boss was suppose to show he put a Genjutsu on himself. To disappear in a shower of petals if struck.

Skill: Kekkai Genkai Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to manipulate electrostatics and electric charges.
Special: Rat, Dragon, Ram, Tiger, Monkey, Dog, Horse, Rabbit once per 5 turns.
Drawback: Objects must be visible. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Only metallic objects or semi-metallic objects can be manipulated.
Description: Allows the user to manipulate and control electrostatic, which is by definition electricity at rest. This gives the user the ability to move around both positive and negative charges on objects, which, in the end, can result in the ability to either repel or attract objects to and from each other. It must be noted that this jutsu strictly follows the concept of the Conservation of Charges. That means that without influence, all charges within nature are balanced at zero. Only when acted upon do these charges change. This ability is a requirement for all members of the Kyoudo Clan. When the user first gains this ability, they have only the ability to affect one object at a time within five meters of their person. At maximum, the user may move 10% of an object’s positive or negative charges to another object. While actively using this ability, the user must remain perfectly still, and no other jutsu may be used while the user is attempting to manipulate charges. Due to the relative electrical field produced by every person Kyoudo cannot affect people, and due to the low electronegativity of non-metallic objects, only metallic objects can be affected. It is only through mastery over the element of thunder that one can obtain this ability.
Limit: Kyoudo Clan only

Sutatikku Nou (Static Awareness)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows a member of the Kyoudo blood limit to manipulate and control electrostatic charges even out of their range of sight, in their personal static field.

Drawback: One can only use this ability if it is in the range of their own electrostatic field. Only useful if one has trained Kyori Keiko a number of times. All manipulation of sensed objects is still, of course, limited by the other Kyoudo techniques.
Description: Normally one can only use their Sutatikku Nagare ability on objects they can see. However with much training and experience eventually a member of the Kyoudo become so attuned with their static field that they can 'feel' objects around them. All objects in nature carry an electrical charge even if it's at zero. An experienced Kyoudo can sense such things and manipulate them as long as it is within their own static field. This grants the user the ability of complete static awareness in their field. This is directly correlated to the amount of times one has learned Kyori Keiko (Distance Training).
Limit: Sutatikku Nagare (Static Current) ability, 500 tp in the Kyoudo clan. Once you have 500 TP of Kyoudo jutsus, this is automatically "learned".

Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used to dodge and evade attacks.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user learns how to proficiently dodge and evade flying objects as well as oncoming weapons through predicting the attacks. A very useful technique since the Heaven Shapeless: Stance (Single) has no defensive capabilities. The user will stand in one position and learn the minimum amount of movements required to avoid an attack.

Nameru (To Taste)
Rank: E, D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The user, through the sharpening of their five senses and an instinctual knowledge of flow, becomes aware of their surroundings and capable of defending against attacks.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be learned up to your current Character Rank.
Description: The user strives to expand their senses, taking in data from all five senses and treating each of them as equally important. Through a combination of peripheral vision, hearing, and measurement of air pressure changes, the user becomes capable of perceiving threats around them and reacting accordingly. At E rank, the user can only perceive such threats as traps or projectiles. However, at the following levels, the user becomes capable of perceiving strikes from a foe of an equal level to the rank they have learned. Therefore, a B rank ninja could strike a C rank user of this technique and the user would not be able to perceive them via this technique and lose the majority of the benefits, though their dodging would benefit from the heightened awareness nonetheless. The user may only learn this technique up to their character’s rank. Thus, a C rank character could only learn up to the C rank version of Nameru. Nameru is limited to threats within twenty meters of the foe, as anything that doesn’t enter that radius is beyond the senses of a human to perceive. However, threats are perceivable once they enter that range.
Limit: Must learn from a Gintsuki no Seikou Mai Master. Must know Hyouuryuu Yuki (Drifting Snow).
