Liquid Calcium control
Rank: E rank
Skill: Taijutsu, supplementary
Effect: Variation of bone control/ creation (see below)
Special: ---
Drawback: Creates toxic calcium just as any other bones do.
Description: The kaguya clan members not only have control for bones they can posses, but also its forms. There osteocytes, osteoblasts and bodily calcium (the component of bones) can be force to remain in a liquid form with practice. This allows there liquefied bone to be used for different purposes. The liquid calcium can be found through out the body and can solidify into bone in an instant (upon command).
Limit: Kaguya clan only

Today Shida had found himself outside the village walls. Usually he would spend his time training within the designated training grounds, but today he opted to test something out in the meadows. All around him were thick trees that were all spaced out several meters apart. The sun was hot that day, not a cloud in sight to offer relief from the beating warm rays.

Shida examined his hand. Using the kaguya's natural ability to manipulate he began push something out of his palm. A white spike began to grow , his skin separating to let it pass. It was an odd site to behold but for Shida it felt more natural than anything. At the end of this process the young genin was left with a spike budding out of his palm, a couple feet in length, at least on the outside anyway, the rest of the bone had stemmed from a growth within his forearm. This was one of the set ups to his families dance of willows.

However, this was not Shida's intention. For now he only swung his arm lightly. With his father now deceased, he was left with no other Kaguya, nobody to show and teach him the capabilities of his bloodline. Of course he had the memories of his fathers lessons but those could only go so far. Shida was now left to his own devices. To train, to discover more about himself and his limits. With his free hand he grabbed hold of the bone and slowly pulled it out of his hand, a bone spear now formed. 

The young man could feel the liquid calcium within him begin to shape and fill in the missing slots where the bone had been, but suddenly a strange idea came upon him. The kaguya's ability was to have complete and total control over their skeletal structure...but to what end? With a bit of concentration, Shida attempted to force the liquid calcium to stay in it's liquid state. Upon doing so, the liquid simply dribbled out from his palm and dripped on the grass below. It was...a queer ability to say the least. Shida didn't know how to feel about this, let alone find a use for such ability, but nevertheless it was a lesson learned. Albeit a strange one. Shida let the liquid fill his arm again, in doing so his arm was whole again, even his palm. What Shida didn't notice however, was the calcium that had left his body had hardened as well, caked over a few blades of grass!

Really, it has become quite the habit to seek the open space of the grasslands, free from people talking loud into the air and populating the place with their silly drama. Even if it was funny to watch occasionally, but she didn’t really feel like trying to understand the thought process of her fellow Herbians without her friends there to watch with her.

As for said Friends, each and every one of them was too busy to spend any time with the young girl, Tetsu was off doing whatever a Tetsu does out of village. Harue was off doing her own thing, Zeriq too for that matter. The girls were attending some high end etiquette class for any noble family or well of people, which Chizu had no care to attend. Her mother had did well enough educating her herself, no need to go to some silly class when she already has the skills. The boys are also outta village with their own families, visiting nearby settlements for season reasons.

The child huffed slightly, uncaring of the slight chill that brushed the bottom of her face as she drifted through the land. It seems all of her friends where just busy, and of course it had to be at a time she wasn’t busy herself, which is the whole reason the cyan haired child was riding through the grasslands that surrounded the village, spiky hair blowing wildly as the child launched herself off of a hill. The girl twisted diagonally, flipping over herself will keeping her board steady with her body. Her sharpening face was half covered by a pair of large dark goggles, leaving only the bottom of her nose to her chin visible. She wore her Cloak of Hyuuga across her shoulders, its hood and tail bellowing in the wind wildly with all of her turns and spins. She wore her standard combat gear, her pouches strapped to her biceps and belt, holding most of her standard shinobi gear.

Her Darksteel and Dragonsteel short spears were attached to her belt, while her standard Naginata was strapped carefully to her back, pinning part of her cloak down with its weight. Of course she also had her duffle bag on her, never know when any of the junk she has in there may be useful. Lastly, and the most important since she was off village grounds, was the black Kusa headband tied around her neck. Mostly so she could be identified with little issue if another shinobi runs into her.

She was pretty much geared in preparation for almost anything that could happen, maybe a little over geared since she was only exploring the outer circle of her village, not so far away that she’d run into any real trouble. But maybe she was hoping she could get in a little training, hunt some animals maybe? Eh who knows.

The Child found herself rapidly approaching another high hill jump, she brushed her thoughts aside and prepared herself for launch, the grass parted forcefully under the pressure of her board, paving a clear path of crushed plants to act as a trail for anyone who payed attention. With a short grunt, Chizu spang into the air, soaring over the trees that were hidden behind the hills girth previously. She twisted easily in the air, hidden cyan eyes casually glancing down into the new area in vague curiosity. Eventually gravity took hold of her and she twirled down into these trees, landing into a clearing with a huge gust of wind as the boards anti-gravity device fought against colliding to the ground. She burst forward due to the excess force that was gathered, but she quickly pulled back on her board and turned, preventing herself from riding into any trees. She whirled in place for just a second, before she lost enough speed to properly dismount off of her board without it going flying.

She'd rather it not go smashing into anything thank you, she knows how to take care of gifts. The child didn’t bother brushing back her wild hair, instead simply rolling her shoulders and gazing around the area she landed in curiosity.

Has she been in this area before? Who knows, she certainly doesn’t keep track.

She also took the time to realize that she wasn’t alone in this clearing, spotting another white haired shinobi also in the clearing, she probably disturbed whatever he was doing with her entrance.

Oh well.

She easily flicked her thumb to her Kusa headband on her neck, a match to his own headband that she could see tied to his forehead.

”Yo.”

Shida turned around, the bone lance in his hand. He had heard a strange noise approaching, the shinobi who was now in front of him must have been the source. Shida's robe swayed as he turned to face the girl. If she had known anything about the various shinobi bloodlines she may have recognized the Kaguya Insignia on his back. Their blue eyes met, he looked her over first noticing the headband that was tied around her neck.

His eyebrow raised curiously. He seemed about the same age as him, maybe older. He hadn't recognized this shinobi from the academy,perhaps she had been from another class. Either way she was a fellow shinobi , thus earning his immediate respect.The next thing that had caught his attention was the hover board. Having seen nothing like it he grew ever more curious about the odd kunoichi before him.  Shida would bow and give her a quiet "Hello"  before flourishing the lance and sticking it in to the ground. At length it had stood at almost five feet. The woman would notice that it was entirely made out of bone, it had no carvings and no signs that it had been manufactured or been sculpted to fit that shape. More so, there never was a creature that would have such an odd looking bone apart of it's anatomy...at least no common beast that is.

Shida approached slowly, stopping just a few just a few meters before the girl. Up close she would notice just how tall he was. "Who are you, and what is that?" he'd say gesturing to the hover board. Upon closer inspection it had seemed as though the young girl carried several things on her person. She was just about armed to the teeth it seemed. A stark contrast to the boy who stood before her, who had nothing but his clothes, his twin short swords, and his pouch of kunai knives.

Description: Relevant Abilities: Acuity Skill. Die Rolls: 1 Die Roll. Check Requirement: Game Master/Described. This skill focuses certain powers of observation - sight, smell, hearing, and touch. A failed check indicates that the character is oblivious until the thing is pointed out to him. This skill is important for ferreting out advancing enemies or ambushes, generally real-time events and actions occurring, versus scrutiny, which covers static objects or areas. A Game Master may roll an Observation skill check for the Character any time there is an NPC, creature, event or happening that a character might notice, even if they did not specifically state that they are monitoring their surroundings. Characters are capable of noticing any event within their perception; this skill will typically be used as a competing check against another's attempt to avoid detection (stealth, etc).

Chizu peered at the young man across from her, he was obviously young probably mid teens based on his facial structure. His chin and cheeks were slim, sharp in a way that empathized his gender, eyes sharp and intense, the color similar to her own. His hair was white, a staple she seems to be seeing often lately, styled in simple spikes that fell over his black headband, she found his attire interesting. You don’t see people wearing robes as often as they used to, unless they are a more traditional bunch.

He seemed like he’d be a fun fight, she could tell from the skin he left exposed that he was definitely a more up in your face fighter, much like her. That's cool, she has been meeting too many distance fighters lately, like Bug guy and Harue. She tilted her head when she took in his lance...a bone lance? Definitely bone, she can recognize the off white color and texture anywhere, even if she was viewing it from a darkened lense. He also had two swords visible on his back, and of course he knows how to use them, else why would he keep them on his person? But really, the bone lance was what really caught her attention, she’s a polearm kinda gal after all.

Unless you didn’t notice all of her weapons was polearms, then you're just blind.

Anyways, Chizu raised her free hand up after the teen introduced himself, pushing her Goggles off her eyes and back into her hairline, pinning her hair back as if it was a hairband. The Child’s dead, soulless cyan eyes gazed emotionlessly into the older teen’s Sea green ones. Now that her face was completely uncovered, she could feel the warm heat from the air instead of the eternal coolness of her goggles. The teen would also notice the beauty mark under her left eye if he looks carefully.

”I am Chizu. This is a Hoverboard, a transportation device.”

She spoke flatly, her voice low yet young at the same time. It didn't lean towards any gender to heavily, and was just as androgynous as the girl herself. She casually flicked her pointer finger towards the white haired teen, more specifically towards the bone lance he carried,

”Who are you? What is that made of?”

Tsubaki no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique known where the user takes their own bone along their arm, and uses it in a dance formation attacking all those around, while still moving giving them the agility speed to evade certain capabilities.
Special: ---
Drawback: The first initial movement of taking out the bone costs as much as a normal "C" Rank due to its extreme size.
Description: A bone extends from the shoulder, what can be seen in the beginning resembling what appears to be a hilt, the rest of the bone still within the flesh. As the Kaguya pulls the bone from his body, it is instantly replaced with another bone in its stead, so as not to cause the Kaguya any form of discomfort. The bone itself is more katana-like, however the bone itself is less refined than that of Yanagi no mai, but that does not make it any less deadly. Lacking in the fluid grace to the extremes like that of Yanagi no Mai, the Kaguya is usually continuously on the move, making him quite the difficult target for enemies. Even though it no longer has the grace, it makes up for this loss with its impressive speed, normally striking before the opponent even has time to react. This is the Second Dance of the Kaguya.

"My name is Shida Kaguya. This is made of bone, I made it." Shida said holding it out to her. If she cared to grab the makeshift javelin she would noticed that it was fairly light, which was only natural since it was made out of bone rather than metal. It was thickest at the center, being around two inches in diameter. If she looked along either end she would notice that the diameter would steadily grow smaller and smaller until it reached a fine point at either end. 


Shida would look over the many pole arms the girl had carried with her. She was clearly a melee fighter, or just some sort of weird collector "Taijutsu?" he asked. It was by this point he began sizing her up. Could she possibly be a sparring partner, or did she happen to posses some sort of hidden monstrous strength packed in a very unassuming form, much like one of his teammates. Since that day he was more cautious when sizing up both allies and foes. He refused to let himself be caught off guard in such away.

He would then continue to flourish the javelin , twirling it lightly in his right hand. "My clan turns bone into weapons. We've formed techniques over the generations. Taijutsu pecialists."
She may notice that behind the opening of his robe the young man was fairly athletic in build, albeit a little skinny. This was because his training regiment had called for a more lean body time rather than a bulky muscular one. Shida preferred this, it allowed him to move swiftly and strike quickly. To him, power was useless if you couldn't manage to hit your enemy. It was for this reason Shida had done is best to become a very slippery target.

Appraisal (Armour & Weaponry) (0/125 Tp + 15 bonus)
Rank: "E"
Skill: Academia Skill
Effect: User can evaluate the monetary value of an object.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Relevant Abilities: Composure Skill. Die Rolls: 5 Die Rolls. Check Requirement: Always. Appraisal provides the ability to estimate the value of items in certain categories. Appraisers can estimate an item's inherent quality (compared to typical items) and current market price. An estimate's accuracy depends on the skill level—the best appraisers know an item's every nuance as well as market fluctuations. Appraisers cannot detect if an item is Chakra or the degree to which a superior piece of Armour or Weaponry may aid its user in combat (i.e., its "+" to attack or defense). However, since most Chakra items and superior quality arms and armour are meticulously crafted, the appraiser can make eerily accurate guesses... A successful check can also reveal counterfeit or fake items. Synergy: A user with Craft gives a +5 per Mastery Level Synergy Bonus to checks related to items made with that Craft skill. Some practical applications of Appraisal follow:

Chizu tilted her head slightly, staring at the offered weapon for just a split second before she took it in her gloved hand. She held it by its middle lightly, balancing the the slightly gritty bone on the face of her middle finger. It was about the size of a standard spear, or in this case, a Javelin if she was to go by the shape that the man across from her apparently made out of his own body. Interesting ability by the way, the Child could only assume it was a weird Bloodline thing, she didn’t know nor care much for any clans or bloodlines.

Maybe she should get updated? ...nah too much work.

Back to the javelin, she frowned slightly as the bone started to tip down on one side, she could tell that he didn’t have any real craftsmanship experience concerning polearms. While the standard shape is down, it was a little lighter and too short for a proper javelin. If she threw these like how she threw her normal range polearms, both the short versions and the standard, she was sure it wouldn't fly the appropriate distance. It may also go flipping because of how light it is, which wouldn't be ideal in most precision based throws. On the plus side, it feels pretty durable so she could use it in close combat reliably. But it's also bone, so she could really be sure.

The girl grabbed it before it tipped off and handed it back to the older shinobi. She pulled her arm back and pressed her fist into her hip, staring at him blankly.

”Its decent.” she said, ”But not really suitable for full on combat, not yet.”

Chizu let her arm fall from side briefly, before reaching up to draw her naginata frome her back. This movement forced her to properly expose her clothing underneath her cloak, revealing her dark blue turtleneck that hugged closely to a hard, completely flat chest and a single, muscular arm that was covered with shoulder high dark blue gloves with a single cyan streak on the side. Her other side remained hidden behind her cloak as she brandished her Naginata, spinning it effortlessly in her hand before slamming the blunt end into the ground, causing the earth under it to cave in slightly under the force, grass and dirt flying every which way from action.

She shrugged her cloak fully off her front, so that it was more of a cape than a cloak. Then let her hoverboard fall forward to the ground, the device turning on automatically with the movement, as soon as it started to hover, the child put her sandaled foot on it and kicked backwards, causing it to ride itself back into the edge of the clearing. Automatically turning off once it sat safely at its edge. Chizu rolled her shoulders loosely,

”Taijutsu Master.”

[anon56]

"Master?" his interest peaked, this could serve as a valuable training opportunity. One he most definitely wouldn't pass up on. He had spent too many months practicing against training dummies. Sure it was good to train, but real life targets wouldn't sit still. Dummies never counter attacked nor did they try to evade or strategize. Shida had longed for someone who he could reliably train with, and the fact that this girl before him was a taijutsu specialist as well was a cherry on the training cake.

"How about a spar?" he asked, his voice almost monotone. Behind his cold stoic eyes was a twinge of excitement. If she accepted his request he would start by throwing the bone javelin off in the distance. He really had no use for it. Shida would then walk a few feet away and offer a bow, a sign of respect. He would give her the time to prepare herself, he had noted that she carried a lot on her. If she so wished she would be allowed the time to unpack and set her duffle bag down.

In this time Shida would make his own preparations. If the girl before him cared to watch she would notice she would see the young mans left shoulder gyrate in a strange manner, the bones in his body shifting in ways that looked down right odd. Soon a piece of bone would stick out, not causing any damage to his body in the process. Shida grabbed the bone and began to pull lightly, revealing it's length. By the time the bone escaped from his body it was clear that it took the form of a katana like blade. Shida stood with his legs shoulder width apart and turned his body slightly. He held the bone blade with an easy grip, not too tight as one would a club, but not to lose as to let it get knocked out of his hands. She may notice that this creation was much better quality than the javelin. It was made specifically to fit Shida's needs. It was durable , light and sharp. Made for quick attacks rather than overwhelming force.

The child let out a small hum at the response she got out of the older shinobi, she could recognize the light that glinted in his sea green eyes. That light of a fighter seeing a possible worthy challenge in front of him, he would have noticed the same light lighting up in her eyes... if it wasn't for the fact that her eyes lack the ability to express emotion. Oh well, if he could read her body language properly, then he could see that she shares the same feeling. The girl felt a small bubble of excitement at what this means, it had been quick a fucking while since she had Anyone to spar with. She doesn't get to see Zeriq as often as she'd like to train, and Harue isn't a melee fighter like her. And since she's the strongest of her friends (aside from Tetsu), its really no fun to fight them one on one. But now?

She can work with this.

In response to the unsurprising offer to spar, Chizu simply closed her eyes, letting her head fall back ever so slightly as she relaxed herself. Once the man bowed, definitely a traditionalist, she returned the action and took a step back. With one hand, she grabbed the shoulder of her cloak and the shoulder that her bag was hanging on, and in one fell swoop that took a lot of practice in the comfort of her home, she pulled her cloak and bag off (without damaging either) and tossed the two items back towards the edge of the clearing, the two landing on top of her hoverboard. She let the pole of her weapon rest into the crook of her arm, so she could push her first into the palm of her hand to rotate she shoulders and neck.

Just to loosen up a bit.

Popping her pole back out, she grabbed her weapon and lifted it out of its upright position with another twirl, then let it rest in her hand almost parallel to the ground, in a relaxed yet easily changeable grip. She gave the Bone guy a nod, just to show that she was ready to start this fight. She give him the first move, but in preparation for that, she shifted into a steadier stance and pointed the tip of her naginata up slightly.

[anon56]

Shida watched silently as the woman before him had unloaded her gear in a rather showy manner. He took a bit of enjoyment in the fact that it was probably the type of thing that Harue would find really cool. He himself paid it no mind, simply waiting for the girl to prepare herself. Once she had finished and gave him a ready nod, he would stand still. It seemed as though she was intent on letting him make the first move. Instead of charging in he took the time to examine the girl. His cold icy blue eyes examined her and the weapon she held in her hands. 

Pole arms were fairly effective at long ranges, if he wanted to land a clean blow he knew he would need to get past that blade. "Don't let her overwhelm you. Get in close, get out repeat" he advised himself. To the average person taijutsu may have just seemed like two people having a blood fueled brawl, but to Shida it was something much more sophisticated. It was a dance, it was pushing the balance of power and control one had over their bodies and their weapons. It was all about thinking ahead, testing yourself and your partner. Always being aware of spacing. Unlike dance however, you did in fact want to step on your partners toes whilst avoiding having your toes stepped on. It was a strange analogy but it had made perfect sense in his mind.

Before Shida could go in for a strike he decided to test his partner. He needed to feel her out, test her speed, her reaction time. He needed to learn everything he could about her in a matter of minutes before the dance could really begin. It was crucial moments like these that could make or break a person before the fight had even begun. Thats what is father had taught him, the lesson he would take to the grave. 

Shida began by tossing his blade into the air a little in front of him, it was possible this could serve as a distraction for what came next. Shida had a feeling she was more careful than that though. As soon as the blade of bone left his had he quickly retrieved two kunai knives and threw them forward. The first one he threw immediately while the second one he waited half a second, taking the time to charge the projectile with lightning chakra. The first Kunai had been thrown straight ahead toward the girl, the other he would throw in the direction she dodged in if chose to do so. By the time he had thrown his kunai, his sword made it's descent. He would catch it effortlessly and begin to run toward the girl, keeping his eyes peeled for her reaction. 

If the charged kunai had come in close contact with the girl she would experience a slight shock which would effectively begin to numb the effected area. The kunai was only lightly charged, should she be stricken the numbness would only last a few seconds but would definitely cause discomfort.

Chizu watched the man curiously, wondering what the other would do to start this battle between them. Would he take her offer to go first? Make the first attack to that the child may counter? Or will he still, try to make her impatient so that she attacks first and he would have more time to react? She was fine with either option truly, as long as she could get a good fight out of this. She dipped the tip of her naginata slightly, the sun glinting off the metal spectacularly. She fancied the thought of reflecting it at the teen, but she wasn’t interested into doing so in combat just yet. Hell, she might just end up blind herself like a dumbass, seems likely.

Ah, it seems he has finally started to make his move, the girl was curious at how much observing her had revealed to him. What did he get out of seeing her stand here, simply waiting for his move? Maybe as much as she got out of him observing. He was going to be a careful fighter, not a mindless brute who likes to charge in head first. Using their strongest technique first and wearing themselves out within seconds.

Chizu’s eyes flickered up for split second, to note the blade toss directly up into the area, but she didn’t miss the movements taken to draw his Kunai, watching the first one fly at her passively. She noted the second in his hand, and quickly decided on how she’d handle this attack. First she stepped to the side, giving the image of shifting out of the first Kunai’s path as a dodge, but this wasn’t the case. Instead she grabbed the first Kunai just before it pierced the air beside her, her gloved hand easily picking it out of the air by hooking it by its hole. Without wasting any moves, the girl threw the kunai back at the man just as he threw the second, only with a little extra umph. The rethrown Kunai clashed with the second, sending both flying off in different directions, flying away from both fighters’ paths.

By the time they clashed, Chizu had already shifted forwards, almost appearing to glide over the ground as she moved to meet the other head on. She shifted her momentum with a push from her toe, causing her to spin rapidly, her naginata gaining momentum from her movement. When he was within 2 meters, she let her pole slid through her grip, extending towards the man blunt half first, towards the middle of his body.

At this point, if he still decided to attempt to clash with her, he’d probably find himself knocked back by the sheer force of her strike if he didn’t steady himself against the hit correctly. If he did hold up, she’d step forward and reinforce her weapon with both hands, then push her strength into to upper half to try and force the man away.

If he dodge over her attack, she would continue her spin forward, dust pretty much erupting from her skid. Then she’d launch herself wherever he landed with a horizontal slash. Even if he was close, she wasn’t afraid to strike him with the pole of her weapon.

If he dodged under, then instead of continuing forward, she’d leap over and away from him, landing 4 meters the direction he originally came from. Then she’d draw one of her own Kunai, tossing it in the same movement.

After the clash of knives, both ninja were darting towards each other. Almost as if it were the starting gun for a race. The two ran swiftly, it wouldn't take long for them to meet. As the two began to close the distance Shida would quickly twirl the bone blade in his hand, the point of it facing downwards. Once they had entered each others striking range they both simultaneously went on the offensive. Rather than using the blade to block the polearm, Shida used the momentum from his sprint to continue forward, dropping to his knees. He let one leg out and arched his back forward ducking beneath the polearm. He had planned to slide beneath and slice the woman's side as he traveled but as he evaded she was already in the air, avoiding his attack as well. 

Shida twisted his body and continued the flow of his slide so that he would return to a standing position. His intense blue eyes traced the kunoichi's movements. She had thrown a projectile of her own. With a quick flourish Shida would twirl the blade again, deflecting the oncoming threat. Although neither of them managed to land a blow there was still information to be gained for both sides. As Shida observed the young girl had a lot of power to her, not just in the way she moved but in the force she was able to deliver in her initial blow. Had she cared to analyze the young man, she would see that he was quite nimble. Agility and striking speed was his strong suit. Tactical blows were favored over crushing displays of strength. It had seemed they were opposite on that regard. This time Shida would wait and see how she would proceed. It would seem as though he were standing idly, but his foot position made it clear he was preparing himself to move on a moments notice should he need to.

Chizu shifted her left foot back, lowering her Naginata in her right until the tip of the blade was pointed down. Her cyan eyes watched as the man across from her stood after he deflected her own kunai, his body loose and his stance was one of evasion. He was on the defensive, probably hesitant to charge after their initial attacks, she imagined he was planning on seeing more of her style before going all out. It was a smart move if so, the child herself isn't partial to sitting around and observing her opponent for more than a few seconds. She prefers to smash than to plan after all. Ether way, Chizu raised her free hand to hold the back of her neck, rolling it slowly as she started to walk towards the white haired teen.

She tilted her hand to allow the polearm to point up at an angle, tightening her grip once the metal slid down until its halfway point. She let it drop back down towards the ground point first, then let her free hand fall to the side once again. After a few more steps, the girl made up her mind and dipped low, launching off the ground into a charge. As she did this, he free hand reached back and drew a handful of caltrops easily, then in that movement she tossed them in a wide spread at the man, planning for them to land in a wide radius around his area. Then she leaped into the air with a burst, taking her Naginata in both hands and twirling it to gain momentum, she fell towards the man like a heavy weight (cause she was heavy thanks to all of her crap), planning to bring her blade down on his head with staggering force.

She expected him to dodge more so than block, though no matter which direction he dodges in, he’ll have to avoid the spiked traps. If he does block however, then she hoped his bone weapon was sturdy, it wouldn't do for her to break through and actually hit him. On the note that he dodges, the girl’s blade would slam into the ground, causing it to crack and cave from her efforts. During this moment, she would draw her Darksteel shortspear, balancing on the handle of her buried Naginata as she launched the spear at wherever the man dodged to, aiming to impale him through his stomach or prompt him to dodge again. Not wanting to stay balanced on her weapon for longer than necessary, she braced herself, then sprung off of it, yanking it out of the ground as she did so.

Once she was back in the air, if he had avoided her previous attacks, she’d toss another kunai just to serve as a nuisance before repeating the last dive attack, polearm spinning in one hand before using both to bring it down on the man. In this case, she’d expect either a clash or a dodge, if a dodge, then she would balance on her weapon once more. This time waiting to see what he would do, and preparing herself to counter any attacks with a kick.

His electric blue eyes stayed locked on her every move. She began to charge towards him, the beast with the crazy strength and the nimble fighter with agility. Seeing the two might have been comparable to watching a bull fighter try to avoid a noble ferocious beast. Of course, the beast in question was capable of strategy and jumping pretty damn well. This was becoming more of a challenge. The young mans face was blank, but he was enjoying himself. Soon caltrops would litter the ground around him, their position being skewed somewhat by the grass that had grown abundantly in their region. "She's trying to cripple my mobility...smart" 
Shida didn't have the time to time to quickly map out where each barb had been thrown, but it was clear that his immediate area would be well covered. 

Next, the girl leaped into the air, spinning her polearm. What came next would be a fairly devastating attack to say the least. Shida clutched the bone sword he held in his hand. She wasn't the only one who could get clever with her weapons. Shida took a few steps forward and dug the tip of the blade into the ground and push off. He used the sword like a pole vault, except he was going for distance rather than height. Doing this he knew he would be able to avoid most of the traps she had thrown around him, but that was no guarantee. Once he had cleared the jump he would quickly turn his body to face her. His maneuver had forced him to abandon his blade but that wouldn't prove such a problem. He could easily make another. The ground shattered with ease under the weight of her strength coupled with the weapon. It was impressive to say the least. Shida for a moment considered making this a battle of attrition, but after viewing her strength it could be assumed she had the tenacity to continue this onslaught. She'd out last him if he was kept on the ropes as he was now.

These thoughts were cut short as he was accosted by a projectile this time. Not wanting to make any unnecessary steps, Shida shifted his body, the spear cutting through his side and continuing to travel onward. Pain was a familiar feeling to him, the burning and stinging of a fresh cut. His warm blood beginning to well and leak bit by bit. It wasn't a lethal wound, but it definitely reminded him who he was up against.  She was on the move again, using the same leaping approach as she had previously, only this time she threw a kunai his way. Shida would answer this with projectiles of his own, only these were fairly...unconventional. Shida moved his arms as if he were throwing out two weapons, however the boy was completely empty handed. If Chizu were watching closely she would see that ten bullets would be rushing toward her in the air. Ten in bone projectiles shot fourth from the young mans fingers, the first two aimed to knock the kunai off course while the others were aimed to penetrate her torso. The bullets had not been fired all that the same time so she would need to be diligent if she planned on guarding against them all. 

Shida braced himself and leapt out of the way at the last second, throwing his body backwards with a backflip and landing on a tree. His sandals had a slight aura around them as he clung to the tree. He looked down at the scene and waited for a moment, from here he could take in where the caltrops had been thrown, for the most part anyway. Now it was time to go on the offensive. Shida would kick off the tree and run full force toward Chizu, hoping to surprise her with the sudden burst of speed. Shida would try to keep her on her toes with a flurry of practiced strikes from what appeared to be bone blades that portruded from the boys palm. This was the willow dance, the first dance of the Kaguya clan. A taijutsu technique that utilized grace and twin blades to overwhelm a target. 

SPOILER: Click to show

Hessendan (Finger Bullets)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique that enables the user the capability of contracting the muscles and nerves within their body to where it begins to build pressure within shooting them off with such speed to pierce the human body and some minor defenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: Whenever used the user undergoes the capability of disease under effect increasing the calcium within their body which makes them closer to dieing unless gaining medical treatment.
Description: A technique that launches finger bones in a projectile like form. The Muscles and the nerves contract against one another greatly to where they somewhat spiral in within the body. When the user constricts their fingers in such a way, they begin to push the bullet outwards as the bullet begins to gain pressure from the way it is constricted until the bone is projected out of the human body spiraling at high speeds being sent off towards its target.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. This is the basic of basics and must be known in order to use other Jutsus of the Bloodlimit. Must know Bone Pulling




Yanagi no Mai (Dance of the Willows)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A TaiJutsu technique dedicated to the arts of moving fluently to attack multiple ranges around using fluent motions while using two concentrated features along their arms as primary weapons.
Special: ---
Drawback: As long as the bones are within the very palms, it slowly begins to take the effect of the Disease as it is needed in order to keep the arm from becoming weak, and then failing.
Description: Extending from both palms are two lance-like bone protrusions, usually around 1-1.3 meters in length, which is a little smaller than a typical katana. It takes quite a bit of balance to even begin with this graceful dance of death, for each attack is a graceful dancer-esque motion, flowing like water between each motion. As such, this very dance is quite flexible, allowing for a large range of motion from strike to strike. Thus, it is indeed possible to flow from strike to strike, or instantly change up how one would have struck before, within the motions of the arm of the human body of course. Due to this nature, it is most effective when used to battle groups or swarms of enemies, as it makes it much easier to create a perfectly harmonic balance of attack and defense. This is known as the First Dance of the Kaguya. With this dance, one is able to strike 4 different directions within 1 movement (2 with each hand). They may not concentrate the strike on one area, but will spread the strikes about them to multiple targets.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit, Must know Bone Pulling
