Somewhere in the Land of Fang, a small cavern has been washed open by recent heavy rain. Closed off for centuries, a particularly rare sort of herbal medicine, once thought to be extinct  has grown here. The cave is not huge, being roughly circular, with a radius of aproximately 25 meters, and boulders, 3-5 meters in diameter are scattered about. Near the southern wall of the cavern the newly-formed opening to the outter world lies. From the cavern's maw, which spans no more than four feet square in all, it is a drop of aproximately six feet to the cavern floor.

In the center of the cavern is a dissheveled looking man in an old coat and moth-eaten hat. He is bent over, collecting this ancient medicine into a small pouch he is carrying. Otherwise, he is, by all acounts, unarmed. However, to an eye which is trained to see chakra, he is far from neglectable. In addition to the aura of a skileld genjutsu master, he appears to be enchanted with a variety of curses, enhancing a variety of his attributes. [All "D" 'Boosts' from Enchantment Perception, Applied permanetly via Eldritch Affliction].

OOC: In addition to what is in my bio, there are a couple of Jutsu Enhancement tree techniques which I know I was just waiting to add until I got far enough along. I  know one is persistent jutsu, but I'm going to add the other one if I can remember what it is during the fight...

Shiki stepped into the cave. His target was here, after all the tracking that he had to do now all he needed was to hunt down his opponent. Wearing a set of dull copper looking armor that had been painted a matte black to prevent it from giving away my position with glints of sunlight. On my arms were two perfected gauntlets each loaded with an integrated crossbow pistol and ghost iron claws that could be extended and used as needed. In my hand was my hand and a half broadsword Thanatos. Across my waist was a belt full of scrolls that all contained various rituals inside of them. Most of them instant travel rituals to pull some of my gear around. My white cloak of protection swirled around me as I gazed about. My eyes quickly adjusting to the lack of light. On my side hung a quick loader pouch filled with nothing but a few dozen gems that held magical properties.

I walked into the dead center of the room waiting for something to happen.

Steel on rock?

Something clanged, kinda thudded, or something, and the junkie would look up from where he was crouching over a little, in the shadows, picking carefully away at herbs. On the other other side of the cavern someone, or something had entered, and he didn't know what. Pupils dilating, he would whispers to himself, in a low hiss 'Oh shit,' his voice becoming drawn out as he swiveled around and looked at the man who had entered. 15 meters away, about, he gaged as his pupils ajusted to the glare coming into the cave from behind the armored individual. Dull, painted, but armored, metallic, obviously. Is he ... here to fight me?

Seemlessly, as his eyes dilated, the shocked man's pupils would expand further, the irises and the whites merging into one, continuous red, filled with the swirling marks of the Sharingan eye. Seeing fully clearly, Matsuda would look at the stranger with a genuine fear. Creeping visions would enter the Uchiha's mind, as he wondered what would happen, imagined the man coming at him with sword raised or with magical fervor. Perhaps clouded by the fumes, he imagined at thousand shadowy creatures here to gnaw at him and rip the flesh from his bones.

The man's hallucinations would bring him to action as his hands moved quickly upwards to form handseals. Completing two jutsu in quick succession, he would make the handseals of the famed summoning technique, used by ninja to procure otherwordly beasts into this realm. While it would look like the performance of two summonings in quick succession, it was actually the realisation of his nightmares. In the mind of the metal man who had come he would attempt to summon the shadowy creatures he had seen a moment ago, making them, with any hope, real in his mind. He mixed them up in a sea of reality and uncertainty. Fuck dude, what if it turns out reality was the illusion after all. If the jutsu was succesful, the shadows would ripple, and the tin-man's mind would be too sickened to effectively oppose...

If the man staggered or stumbled or showed the slighest indication of losing his balance, the junkie would take a few quick steps forward, closing the gap to under 10 meters. Otherwise, he would move laterally, five meters, putting his body mostly behind a four foot tall rock as he dashed to the side.

I watched the man cast his jutsu and simply waited as the jutsu effect washed over me. My armor hummed ever so faintly against my skin as my body started to drain the energy from his failed attempt to trick my mind. I dispelled his attempts to shatter my mind. I held my sword out in front of me. "I shall not fall to your parlor tricks wizard. If you value your life you will flee from this place." I let the words hang in the air before I spoke. I raised my hand that wasn't holding my blade and summoned forwards a ball of force crashing through the cave towards him. The force blast would be about the same size as a human torso. As the attack was a force wave it would be totally invisible to the naked eye. Judging by the fact that every person with raven black hair that cast genjutsu I had ever met was an uchiha I would get a chance to observe and see if this one had those red eyes like my wifes.

I still felt recoil of the force attack yet didn't show it as I targeted the place directly where the ninja was standing and the area slightly ahead of him should he try to dart forwards or to his right I could at least clip him with the technique. I was still testing the waters not wanting to escalate the fight until I knew his caliber.

If tomoe could widen, Matsuda's would, as he saw the spirt-blast flying from the hands of the armorer. However, he would tumble to the side, losing his footing and his view of his opponent, for the moment at least. The blast was powerful, and would do a number on the boulder, shaking the earth and scattering fragments of rock around. As if in tune with this blast, Matsuda would disappear from where he was in the very same instant, appearing behind a rock six meters away from Shiki, and a bit closer to the cave entrance. Perhaps the armorer had some way to know he had moved, but, for the moment, the junkie waved his hands carefully, launching a new slew of illusions at the Sanin.

First, a single mortar would seem to come down from the sky, almost at the very instant of teleportation, a fabulous yellow roman candle, shooting across the cave sky. Perhaps this would dazzle the man at the critical moment, or perhaps more. [1 jutsu, 2 rolls]

But either way, three cones of colors, one red, one blue and one green, intersecting in fabulous ways across the dim and confused light of the cavern, reflecting in pubbles and across the mossy surfaces of stone. If the man tried to take his eyes off them, he would find mirrored patterns reflecting across the backs of his eyelids, rendering ignoring the blast tremendously difficult. [3 jutsu, 2 rolls each].

If the man appeared stunned, and the chakra of his genjutsu seemed to infiltrate him, rather than bounce off his strange armor, the junkie carefully yet quickly would begin moving forward, towards the entrance of the cavern, closing the gap to under 4 meters.

With each bright light attempting to shake my psyche I simply brushed such things aside. This man was trying to distract me. He had vanished but I had spent enough time fighting and watching similar techniques to realize he had either shunshined or blinked. A travel master myself I knew that meant he could not have gotten far. That would limit his place of hiding. I closed my eyes and felt the air around me in the cave. The cave was cold and damp and the two beings inside of it were the only sources of warmth. My helmet quickly swapped over to a thermal imaging seeing past the chakra light as fake and focusing on the heat radiating from the man's body.

I cut my sword towards the boulder the man was using as cover. A master of the art of the sword saint I sent a whipping air blade from the tip of my sword towards the location he was hiding behind. The technique I used would actually go towards the boulder and pass around it harmlessly before turning lethal once more on the other end of rock with such force that it would cleave the man's flesh as if the steel of my blade was the one rending him.

I walked slowly over to the boulder as the wind strike would decimate whatever was on the other side of the obstruction. I took a deep breath as I took in the stagnant scent of the cave trying to separate the scents in the room.

I forfeit.

I know exactly the kind of thing I want my character to be able to do here, and he can't do it with his current build. I have some serious work to do. Thank you for the help, snowflake.
