'Kami-sama. This is tougher than I imagined it would be!' thought the male as he jogged through the forest. Both of his animal companions had ran away thanks to that rabid dog. Minoru had been on the move for quite some time without pause. His body was starting to feel the strain.

'Remember what Mai-sensei told you about breathing. Go to the deep' recalled the young man. He took a deep breath through his nose before exhaling through his mouth. The burning sensation in his lungs calmed down a little bit.
The Chuunin straightened his back as much as he could. This would improve his circulation.

'I can't give up now. Shimoko-chan and Toshio-kun are out here somewhere. I think I'll go for the trees' decided the male.
He jumped into the nearest tree after taking another deep breath. Jumping was actually a little easier since his legs could rest a little.

"Toshio! Shimoko! Can you hear me!?" shouted the black-haired guy. He made sure to breathe deep between the jumps. That would provide enough oxygen to the sore muscles in his body.

Drawback: ---
Description: A common variation of the punch involves standing on the middle or top ropes and delivering repeated punches to the face while the opponent is backed up against the turnbuckles.

It was yule time. The now was falling heavy on the land that he had just begun to explore. He had come to the south of what he knew as his native land, if he could truly call it that. His thick military issue winter boots matched his brown frock coat and woolen military cap with a steel imprint of the land of lightning at the front. His genin rank was indicated on his uniform as he hoisted his militant style pack over his shoulders when he noticed a snowman, conveniently placed in the middle of this snowy forest. He might have been a soldier by design, but he was still a young man. He playfully tackled the snowman, knocking the three stacked fellow supine. Climbing up into a mounted posture, he sat on the cold guys midsection. His woolen pants kept him warm in his perch, as he silently chuckled, unable to make any sound.

He felt a moment of joy before his violence wired brain began to kick in as his hands slowly clamped into fists. He suddenly and wildly began to punch the frozen man with the hatred that the young man embodied. His clenched hands struck towards all the “vital” spots that he could rightfully think of in the moment as he pounded away, causing the snow mans head to splash into a less round shape. He smashed and struck and poked the poor inanimate creature, punching his vegetable nose. He could feel his heated nature melting the snow. He slowly finished beating this snowman cruelly finishing a poor child’s playmate. He was finished playing, for the moment being as his punches slowly lost their sting.

He looked up from his pathetic task, seeing a young man pale in the face. Though he wore his scarred visage like a mask, he continued punching at a slow pace. He saw the fellow, staring at him, in able to make words. That was the curse of the deaf, as he couldn’t speak at all. His hands were his speaking tools, but few knew how to comply. He slowly watched the young man in the trees, like a bird ready to fly. He sat on the snow man, Stark in contrast to the snow. Before long the fellow would spot him too, and they hit would be known.

'Is it me, or have the temperature dropped?' observed the male. He had only put on a rain jacket over his sweater to keep him calm. They were only going for a short walk after all. Or - that was the plan until that stupid dog came along. Minoru took a deep breath as he landed on a branch.

Suddenly, he noticed someone in the corner of his eye. The young man turned his head a little to see who it was. The person turned out to be a child who was around 8 or 9 years old. He had black hair plus rather pale skin. In addition, the kid was surprisingly well built.

"Hey. Are you-". His sentence was interrupted when he heard a growl to his left. The Chuunin felt a shiver run down his spine. He turned around and saw a giant version of his animal companion.

"Oh. Crap" muttered the male while his skin turned chalk white. Standing in the tree next to him was a full grown COUGAR! "RRRAAAAWRRR!" growled the animal before it jumped towards him. There was very little time to react.

The black-haired guy jumped backwards as high as he could. It should give him an advantage since the feline jumped in a straighter line. Sadly, he underestimated how flexible the creature was.
The cougar suddenly raised its front paw with all its claws out. Said claws made some nice gashes on his left ankle.

"AUCH!" hissed the guy as the claws slashed up his skin. He landed on the snow just 20 feet to the right of the boy. The cougar was standing in a tree 40 feet ahead of him. Minoru took a shaky breath in an attempt to calm down. It was highly unlikely that the animal would let him off the hook.

Crashing out of the forest came a large man over six feet tall. He was a broad man in heavy black stone armor. On his back was a Tower Shield and Full Blade, but still he jumped at the Cougar with his bare hands. His lack of a voice was releasing a low growl. He had not seen the Hyuuga nor the child as he had been hunting to end this terrible hunger he had.

The Cougar was just another piece of prey or more like a strong prey to test his abilities. His full helm covered head revealed little of his expression, he was covered from head to toe in this black stone which was at odds with the white snow. For a hunter he blended little and moved fairly slow. When the Cougar made and motion to attack Turok, he could do nothing but brace himself.

The odd thing was that That Cougar couldn't get through the thick armor. With another growl of hunger, Turok took a swing at the cougar but it it was too slow. He missed and hit the snow which exploded into a small crater in the ground. What he lacked in speed and stealth he made up with strength and endurance it would seem. It was then he saw the other two, he made a quick motion for the older man to take the kid and run. That meant he took his eyes of the Cougar too long and ended up under a pounce.

Curious, he thought to himself coldly. The fellow seemed like he had said something? Ju read a few of his words, “hey...you...” but was not yet versed too strongly in the skill of lip reading. Most of his words just sounded like a monotone rumble that his tone deaf ears could not discern from any other sound. He waved a hand at the fellow, trying to be “friendly” but that didn’t last long as suddenly a wild cat of some kind attacked the fellow making a buzzing noise much louder but still only one tone. It was like listening to an oboe but all the time. The cats cry was like a humming that he only connected to the creature by seeing it move it’s mouth in unison with the sound.

Ju was not connected to this man, but that didn’t mean he was going to take part in being eaten by a big cat. Ju quickly sprung trying to get up to where he cat and the fellow stood off. He tried to climb up on the creature’s back, using the fur as a handle to try and hoist himself upon the creature. At first the big cat was focused on the older fellow, but he would surely be much more focused on his new threat as the fellow climbed up on cat and began to, with his free hand, attempt to punch the cat in the face. He tired to hit his nose and eyes, striking for vitals. He used his feet to make little “hooks” to fit inside of the cats inner stomach to help him balance while he fought the beast. With pleading eyes, he looked at the fellow while he rode the cougar hoping he would get the memo that this would be the opportune time to attack the beast.

His petty strikes from “back mount” were not going to do much damage to the cat. He could feel the creature trying to shake him off, but he held his grips and did his best not to get bitten while striking the beast. “Heeeep.” He groaned in his throaty voice. He didn’t know if he made the right sound or not. He looked at the fellow, with hope that he would stop the bucking cougar before it flung him, ate him, or they both fell off the tree. He pounded away, punching the shit out of the cat hoping it would give the fellow an opportunity to attack.

Things were about to take a completely different turn. 'I don't like the look of this!' thought the male when he saw a huge shadow in the forest. He started to send chakra to all of his tenketsus straight away. Having alert senses were a huge advantage in a fight like this. Minoru kept an eye on the shadow as well as the cougar.

His acute senses did not pick up any animalistic sounds from the forest. The newcomer was actually a tall human male. However, he wore armor instead of shinobi gear. 'Eurgh' thought the young man as the other guy attacked the creature. It did not take long until the boy reacted.

'WHAT THE-' thought the Chuunin when the boy climbed onto the cougar. He then started to punch the animal with his small fists. Suddenly, the black-haired guy heard something approach them. The sound apparently came from his right side. The guy turned around to see who or what it was.

He saw a pair of golden yellow feline eyes peeking out from the shadows. 'OH F-' realized Minoru when he saw the cinnamon coloured fur. A larger cougar had just entered the forest. The male hid behind a tree when he heard the larger animal growl. He took a deep breath as he tried to mold a medium amount of chakra.

'I need to stay alert. That animal could pose a danger to the shinobis or myself. But how should I get rid of it!?' thought the Chuunin. A small gust of cold wind grazed his cool beige skin.
He peeked out from behind the tree trunk. The cougar was still looking at the shinobis that were in full battle mode.

One second later, the guy saw the creature bend its legs. "RUN! WE GOT ANOTHER ONE HERE!" screamed the inky-haired male.
He ran towards the animal that was about to attack the group. The male was already on his way to stop the feline from attacking the others.

Bell Clap
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user wrestler slaps both ears of an opponent simultaneously with the palms of his hands, distorting their balance.
Limit: Must be in Wrestling ( レスリング Resuringu)

He quietly struggled with the beast, not harming it much as he tried to pummel it, to no avail. He then decided that he had to do something. He saw the flashing of some strange man clad in black armor as he wrestled with this cougar. Feeling a bit agitated, he reached up and grabbed the creatures ears without hesitation. Using it like a handle he used it to hang onto the creature as it would surely try to rear up and bite him...which it did. He was going to try and force air into the creature ears in an attempt to stun it. He held on for dear life as he clamped down with his heels and prepared for the maneuver. There was now a second cat; which was great all in its own right...but he would have to focus on the predicament he was dealing with here first before doing anything more.

The young man freed his hands, only for a moment. He quickly took his palms and slammed them as best as he could into the ear canals of the big ass cat. It was an attempt to make it clumsy and maybe make it stop attacking them. This done one a person would probably prove more effective than on a big cat. That being said he did his beat to remain composed as he watched the strange man engagement between the new cat and surely the other members of the Monty crew. He blasted the cats ear drums as best as he could to try and get it to stop. The knight like fellow was in danger and the other older guy was doing who knows what. With his hands freed he tried to get their attention, but in doing so he was released of an grip and was thrown off the creatures back.

He maneuvered himself well enough, letting his supernatural augmentation protect him as he landed by this new site of combat where the second big cat had sprung from its predatory hollow. Now alert and aware he would quickly move with the older white eyed guy, looking to see what he would do, and attempt to work with him. “I...want...ya....hep” he said trying to make words of his useless mouth. He had never heard the articulation of the words themselves and this his accent was heavy and slow when he spoke anything but sign language. He could even understand words kind of...kind of. He would stand ready with the man, or move with him, as they would now have to react to the second (or third technically XD) predator that now hunted them in the frozen cleaning.

Turok was surprised when the kid jumped on the back of the cougar. It was in the nick of time too as it though the creature off it's mark for landing on him. So Turok took it as an opportunity to finally pin the beast. It was bucking wildly to throw the child off but Turok was strong and it's power paled in comparison to his. It couldn't do much with hit being slowed by the child's weight as he grabbed it.

Turok gabbed it and made motions for the child to retreat as he wrestled the Cougar. He wasn't very skilled at it but he brought in a lot of brute strength. Bones were creaking and his sinew was stretched taunt as he worked. Out powering a cougar was no mean feet but this was a man who created craters easily. In his heavy armor he was protected from the scratches very well so.

Turok's stomach growled loudly as he worked for he was still very hungry. The cougar was looking very tasty to him but he still had to subdue the creature. So occupied he was he didn't even register the warning the other adult male had shouted. Not that it mattered much to him, Turok was so use to not taking much damage that he wouldn't have been worried either way.

'Looks like the other two are fine for now' observed the male. The tall newcomer was trying to pin down the animal. Meanwhile, the kid tried to slam its ears. 'I have to give it to that boy. He is not stupid' thought Minoru.

His attention was now on the cougar in front of him. Its golden yellow eyes were staring straight into his. The Chuunin started to send more chakra to his tenketsus. He knew that his senses were dull compared to the creature. Unless...there was some chakra involved.

Pale lavender eyes widened slightly as they studied the body. "Grrr...." growled the feline. Neither of them let the other one out of their sight. The male inhaled slowly while trying to calm down his nerves. His newly sensitive nerves made the tense situation worse.

'Calm down. I can't let that big cat scare me. Just think of how you handle Toshio-kun' recalled the black-haired guy. The scent of crisp snow combined with pine tickled his nose a little. If it was not for the situation, he would have enjoyed that.

The animal in front of him took a step closer. It made the guy slightly anxious. He knew very well just how fast felines were. 'Could that cougar over there be its mate?' wondered Minoru. His eyes moved to its abdomen for a few seconds.

'Darnit. I'm up against a very unhappy guy' realized the male. The sound of crunching snow was louder than usual. Perhaps it was because of his nankan. Or maybe it was due to the situation he was in.

Turok growled at the beast as he slowly crushed it to death. His eyes were dark and in his mind he recited an ancient prayer of honor for the thing's sacrifice. But it was time for him to feed his growing hunger that no normal food could touch. So he finally hopefully got the kid free from the beast. He then began to absorb the creature's biomass.

For his hands were not gauntlet-ed even though they looked like they were. His hands were covered in the black biomass of his heritage. And through his hands the creature was being absorbed. Little by little the creature shrank as it's bone, tissue, and other biological parts were broken down and absorbed. It was slightly disturbing to see but it wasn't completely obvious on what was happening.

He was absorbing the biomass yes but all anyone else could see was the creature was slowly getting crushed and was weakening. For Turok ate the insides first. But his meal wouldn't last too much longer. Finally however he was becoming filled with a new kind of eating. He was feeding his biomass, not his stomach. But still it filled him with energy as its life energy became one with his.

The male tried to keep calm as he looked at the animal. Its golden eyes looked straight into his lavender ones. "Grrr..." growled the cougar. 'I need a jutsu in order to defeat that animal. But which one should I use!?' thought Minoru.

He did not have any water for a suiton jutsu. Jyuuken jutsus might be useless since animals had different pressure points. The young man decided to give raiton jutsus a go. He started to gather a medium amount of chakra while keeping his nerves in check. That large feline might attack any moment.

'Looks like the others are dealing just fine. That leaves me with this one' observed the Chuunin. He decided to use his chakra for a paralyzing technique. The young man started to refine his chakra for that purpose. His mind started to replay images of raiton jutsus in his mind.

'My chakra must be flexible enough to blend with the muscle fibers. That will paralyze my victim. Now, I need to pick out a body part on my enemy' decided the black-haired guy. His pale purple eyes studied the creature in front of him. It did not look any less angry now.

'I think I will go for the spine or pelvis. Cats rely on their tail in order to keep their balance. Here it goes!' thought the young man. He started to channel his chakra towards his palms. It was not a moment too soon for that. His enemy was on the move!

"GROOOAAAAR!" roared the cougar. It leaped towards him with very high speed. Minoru barely managed to jump into the air.
Next, he extended both of his slim arms. Both of them made contact with the animal's spine.

The two fighters landed on opposite sides of one another. 'Did I make it?' wondered the male as he turned around. He noticed that the feline was still standing. However, its rear legs were shaking a little. 'I better be ready in case it attacks again' decided the Chuunin.

As the last of creature's strength left it Turok finished consuming it. The kid safe, he turned to the next bit of danger. The other man seemed to be doing a good job keeping his own however. Turok flexed and began to move into to support this ninja. The Hyuuga would see through his heavy armor to see a strange thing happening. The life energy he just absorbed was getting redirected for some purpose.

The purpose was to increase his muscle mass. The large man was growing larger. His damage potential increased as he became even larger. But that wasn't the end of it the armor began to creak with the strain to contain him. With a growl the man released a punch to the grown that left a crater. But the shaking destabilize the already weaken cougar. But it wouldnt be enough to throw off the ninja.

It seemed Turok had pension for absorption and strength. They had not even properly introduced yet but battle makes for a nice assessment of each other. Despite being a blunt instrument he was learning from this chance encounter.
