A Forest of Opportunity

[Ranzu]

The sun was blazing in the sky as Zeki stepped from the shade of the towering trees and into a clearing. The Sadojin scanned the grassy clearing for any danger before fully moving from the cover of the trees, moving toward the center of the clearing. It was pretty much a meadow, unbroken grassland stretching on for meters only broken on the edges and the direct center, where the towering trees of the land of fire stood tall.

As Zeki walked toward the center of the meadow he adjusted his goggles that he had, which contained x-ray, thermal, night, condition viewing, camera, substance locator, and zooming (x20) vision along with anti-flash lens installed on it. On his back was a small gourd though that was actually just absorbed sand being reshaped by his body so he would not look too different. Other than that the Sadojin was in his normal attire, a pair of tan slacks and a tan hoodie with the hood up. It was easier to keep up the henge when he didn't have to change the color of his clothing that much.

Walking till he was just five meters away from the tree in the center, Zeki began to observe his surroundings in detail. He was in a clearing that was about thirty meters in radius, broken only by a single giant tree in the center of it. There was a small stream running through the clearing's northern edge which Zeki kept well clear of, being on of the southern edge of it himself.

While it looked like the Sadojin stopped moving to any onlookers, he was actually starting to sun himself in the clearing. It had been a while in the forest and the trees didn't allow for good sunlight without standing on top of the canopy which cost chakra to do.

Step.

Step.

Step.


The man was not deaf. He would surely hear the approach of footfalls picking up their pace through the sunlit forests of Hi no Kuni, on a path that would carry an unknown stranger towards a clearing.

Step. Step. Step.

They would continue. Faster now. The clicking rapidity of heels striking baked earth. Without the cover of trees, details of the stranger could easily be seen. It was a woman. She was tall, taller than the man sunning himself near the open fields southern edge, taller than any normal human should be. Her dark skin was only more prominent in the harsh glow of the sky, as was the electric-blue hair jutting up, a short and spiky mane above downcast eyes, narrowed, bemused, golden and unnatural. The womans face did not smile, did not frown, was in some halfway state that suggested perhaps analysis, as she continued on past the tree marking the center of the clearing's breadth.

Step step step.

She eyed the man, as his observation of his surroundings would reveal her to him in kind. If she were allowed to move within 10 meters of the man without him running or moving, she would slow her pace, parting her lips to speak, almost hesitantly, but as if a barely contained snarl threatened to escape every other second. She carried no weapons, no gear, only a simple pink overcoat lined in fur - too gaudy and heavy for the weather, but she did not sweat, did not seem the slightest bit perturbed by the unwavering heat.

[/b]"
[/ul]
She said to him, practically giggling before spitting some unrecognizable gaggle of words to herself, or to the air next to her, as she observed his stance and armaments, the strange goggles clinging to him in the shine.

With the sun shining on him in full force, Zeki was having a good time. He was basking in the radiance of the sun with closed eyes and a content expression on his face, filling up after spending so much time in the shade which was uplifting his mood quite a bit. But then he heard the steps approaching him from across the clearing. The sadojin would crack open a eye and turn it toward the approaching person, getting a clear view of them as they walked.

"Are...you strong?"

Zeki wanted to sigh but stopped himself from doing so at the last second. Just from those words alone he knew what would come next, who this person was. The extra helping from her strange mannerism didn't do anything but reinforce his initial assessment of what was about to happen either. He even pondered her question for a few seconds, wondering if he did measure up to some of the giants he had seen in his life.

"No, I am not. Now leave me be."

Was the reply he gave the woman who had approached him. However he also broke down the sand gourd on his back as he spoke, sending the excess sand into the ground between the two. It quickly grounded down the earth between them with surprising speed, causing the entire ten meters to turn into a sand pit a meter deep. The sand then leaped into the air to form a giant arm that ended in a similarly giant hand, one that towered above the two that were standing on either side of the pit. The arm would fall fairly slowly toward the newcomer, more of a threat then a actual attack.

Step.

At the stranger's cracked open eye, she stared, taking in his response as the ground beneath her began to move strangely. Not a warrior. Her lids dropped perceptibly. She noticed the gourd breaking down on his back but did not look directly at it, as the heel of her boot swirled to complete the shape of a bladed wheel. Where it found purchase on the ground it began to turn faster, digging strangely into the loam as it was converted into finer and finer grit. Her eyes focused more intently, calling into them a flickering of her soul, and resonating with it she spied the connection the man had to the shifting ground.

Some type of sand-user. From her understanding, the man seemed to be using some sort of sand technique on his entire body constantly. She would not be able to phase through him directly. As a bit of the sand was soon after drawn up and crafted further by the stranger, her revving wheels and solid stance began their bloom of power. They had rumbled for the few seconds the man had spent pondering, gathering her movements while she observed the process of the man's conversion technique. As the arms of sand came to fruition above them both, the entirety of remaining sand broken down beneath their feet would be gathered into the maelstrom of the woman's upwards kick, a slice of her extended leg eating diagonally across the distance between herself and her target, toes pointed as if to touch the clouds above them. The fury of the movements force shoveled the combined onslaught of wind and sand back towards and through the falling motion of the Arms of Sand, pulling and ripping them apart with the additional power of her rumble stall. As the apex of the movement was performed and the tumultuous countercurrent would decimate the landscape, the booted foot would extend to slash across the the width of the 10 meter space between adversaries before returning to its previous shape, the air treck design vanishing into the simple form of her foot touch down on less piecemeal earth.

Basic Technique: Basic Kick

Their proximity would cause the man's position, and a large degree of the surrounding area, to be caught up in what was nearly a tornado of wind and his own sand, joined by small bits of fragmented earth thrown with the momentum of her digging up with her heel, as her foot would return slowly to its initial position, winds raging the clearing into chaos. The small bit of soul energy she gathered would keep her just aloft of direct contact with the ground now, her left arm shifting thinner, the hand it held becoming larger and more spherical as she observed her new playmate, her skin brightening even beneath the Hi No Kuni sky.

Unknown Technique Prep

[Ranzu]

Zeki watched with a impassive expression as the woman before him suddenly started to move in the face of his arm of sand being formed. A kick straight up into the air was her answer to his arm but the walls of wind formed by it blew away the entire arm. The Sadojin would have flinched at this display of power if it wasn't for the fact that everyone destroyed the arm if they could help it. Though it was a impressive feat nonetheless which gave Zeki a second of pause.

Which was a horrible mistake as the next attack did cause him to flinch a bit, the leg of the woman stretching far beyond normal human standards to lash out at him. It would have freaked him out more if not for the fact that he could do the same if he wished but it was clear now that he was not dealing with a normal human, if they were human at all anymore. Luckily the sand in the air around him was still under his control and came to shield him at the last second, blocking the kick entirely but buckling under the strength of it.

"Clearly this is someone I don't want to get in close range with. But it seems like she doesn't lack for range either, a troubling opponent." Zeki thought to himself even as he launched himself backwards with the help of a pillar, trying to avoid the tornado that spawned from the kick. The pillar launched from the ground at Zeki's feet at a ninety degree angle and sent the Sadojin flying through the air at about a meter height.

At the apex of his little jump did Zeki go back on the offensive as another pillar rose to support him, spinning a few handseals out as his shadow suddenly elongated and shoot out toward the woman. Once past the wall of wind would the shadow suddenly spring up into five sharp points with the intent to skewer the woman he was facing. He was hoping that him flying through the air would direct her attention up above, allowing the shadow to hit her unexpectedly. But feared that someone as dangerous as her would notice it long before it reached her.

STEP.

The creation of two pillars caught her eye as they rose to accommodate the sand-using person - his evasion was met with the woman taking another step forward, towards the direction his rock columns carried him. As her toe landed to pivot, her view of the man was momentarily obstructed by what seemed like the incoming shadow of a claw.

There were sounds, like meat being butchered. Skewer-sounds and leaking sounds. Black tendrils pulled from beneath her rose as if the tips of spears, drilled into the flesh in thick sprays of blood and ruined flesh. A movement to steady herself, her focus unlocks something within her. A first step. A way. A gate.  Her soul grabs hold of her own form, quakes the foundation of her being loose.

Step.

There is something akin to a detonation as her feet shift once more, bladed, visceral whirring. It is more than just the howling of the Rumble Wall still vibrating the air behind the location the sand-users pillar moves him. It is the revving of wheels as the gore, mid-air, reorganizes itself, tendrils its own way back into the unmarred flesh of the woman's skin. She flashes, her skin shifting invisible in time with her soul Step straight towards her enemy. She would bi-locate, three meters to his right, scissoring him in between the Rumble Wall and her own position with a sweeping of her foot rev the wind into calamity as she flashed into the space beside him. The kicks travel digs into the earth to reach its highest arc, and then straightens, bursting with light like a strobe as the joints of her ankle shudder twice in almost the same moment. What was like a drill of air would grind forwards and through the man's position, before impacting with the rumble wall behind the sand-user, aiming to trap him in a blinding light-stained eruption of chaotic air pressure fifty meters wide.

Serious Kick.

She spins her body as the kick completes, a crater in the earth spun with her movements, winding down. She stares at the ground more carefully now, wary of the shadows. Her 'wounds' have all but healed, though the blood released from her body upon being caught in the Shadow's grasp had begun, aided by the influence of her own chakra, to form into a vulgar flesh atronach, a Homonculus. Its body seemed to be formed all of blood with limb shaped pustules.

The homunculi can also be formed within the body, and pushed out from a mouth if the user wishes to craft the creature in secret. This creature is granted its own nervous and muscular system; capable of operating as its own living organism for all intents and purposes. It can speak, interact with others, and think for itself. A Lesser Homunculi is granted the following stats:
A base movement speed that of the user, minus two (-2).
A Choice size between 30 cm and 100 cm tall (1-3 feet).
Physical fortitude 1 rank below the users own Class level (EX: A B-class user allows a lesser Homunculi to survive 1 C-rank attack)
Homunculi deal damage 1 ranks less the users own rank
A functioning range of 100 meters.
Homunculi are perfect for espionage, as they can gain access to places the user cannot. Since they are derived from the user's body, they can be crafted to appear as the user desires, similar to the user's own altering abilities. Homunculi have been crafted to appear as small children, babies, dogs, etc to aid in fooling foes. If a Homunculi is consumed by the user, they gain the knowledge and memories obtained by the Homunculi. If killed, they turn into a mass of cells and the user does not gain any memory. The user may craft 3 Homunculi when first learned. Relearning this technique as a "B-ranked technique" allows the user to craft 2 more homunculi.

[Ranzu]

Surprise was written on the face of Zeki as his shadow sewing struck true against the other ninja, seemingly to impressive effects. He had hoped for it to go unnoticed till the last second, not actually get some hits in. Even more unexpectedly was the damage seemingly done to the other ninja as that was way too much blood spilt for what he had done. The fact that after another split second the enemy shinobi suddenly disappeared actually wiped the surprise look off of his face as realization that it was a trick set in.

Starting to turn to look behind himself, Zeki was a tad bit too late in realizing the danger before him or behind him. His sand shield sprung to life once again but was blown through by the iridescent tornado. Luckily the shield blocked almost all of the damage that was behind it but the after effect of blowing Zeki forward was in full force. The Sadojin let out a surprised yelp as he was slung forward toward the now raging wind force in front of him.

But Zeki was not done yet, he would not enter the meat grinder ahead of him without fighting a bit. A nimbus of sand formed underneath his free falling form to catch him only a couple of meters out of his uncontrolled flight, putting a stop to his ejection from the tornado. Once he righted himself he would perform a series of handseals that would spawn a cloud of glittering dust centered on the woman who was quite literally punting him around. A snarl rose to his lips as he performed another series of handseals aimed at the now hopefully blinded shinobi.

A wall of rocks would erupt around her, trying to pin her in place, while two huge slabs of stone would raise straight up into the air to her right and left. Suddenly the slabs would slam together in a attempt to crush the enemy shinobi. After doing that Zeki would command his Nimbus to take him up into the air by about twenty meters.

[Deleted]

As he had not mentioned or defended against the blinding light of Luminosity in the follow-up kicks accompanying her initial attack, the sand-user would most likely be blinded in the aftermath. Given the caliber of his sand usage, power-level, and awareness, this would not unfortunately hinder any of his actions. He was in his element.

She was in hers.

The cataclysmic impact of the radiant tornado burst through the shield of sand shook the Forest, and the impact through the man towards the colliding pressure at the combined trick sandwiching him in. A surprise yelp accompanied his forced movement, and while her foe quickly performed handseals in order to catch himself with a cloud of the rocks that seemed to be his specialty, the twirling finality of the girl's kick would release a vibrating Fang of energy with a contortion of her knee twisted brutally around the joint of the knee with several rotations before it would come to a halt, and her air trecks vanished into the heels of her white boots with a click. The new eruption of air would trail the path of her Null Wind, aimed to overshadow it and the bulging fluttered around the skin of her waist as her chakra rose.

Double Kick.

The reverberation from her Null Wind would rattle the atmosphere around them, inundate it with fierce winds that even now sucked greedily at the particulates of the Nimbus, digging into its grainy volume and eating away chunks of sand and earth. But the man's sand was strong, and the shuddering of the sand cloud at the man's feet carried him with great effort out of the bulk of the wind's centrifugal blast, ejected two meters from the pressure tunnels apex and righting himself slowly as the surrounding wildlands were decimated. More handseals would cause the forming of two identical katana's out of the flesh at her sides, extending out as the man corrected his position and then performed his technique. Without warning, a new cloud, one of dust, seemed to spring into existence nearly on top of her.

Though most of the glittering cloud was subsequently drawn up into the persistent winds cradling the wake of her kick, enough of its substance had been focused on her position that she was Blinded even as the majority of its mass was drawn into the vacuum of wind devouring space. Both damaged eyes seemed to erase themselves from her flesh, were folded back into it, reorganized themselves into cells and then began the process of reforming. From the center of her head, her Gosei Rinnegan emerged, pulling itself to light and glaring in the aftermath of the cloud's dispersal, looking up, at the man, down, at the trembling earth.

Rinnegan.

As slabs of it were called up as their own protruding fangs burst irregular by the sand-user's prowess, she would Step up, over, onto. The surface of the slab nearest to her right arm. Her feet landed on it sideways as the instantaneous motion brought her, kicking off of it as she centered the position of the second slab in her mind, pushing herself in mock-flight with the quickly entrapping rock slabs beginning their slam shut. Her hands went to the swords at her sides as she propelled herself off, utilizing her Rinnegan to 'steer' her strike not merely at the second slab, but through it. In what was just an insanely tight 'X' shaped crossing of the arms, her two blades would rend the slab horizontally, cutting through it as if a hot kunai through butter, her body shot through the opening in space its splitting halves created and rocketed off her kick from the stone.

Sword Skill: Cut.

She flew towards the sand-user's position, buffeted between layers of wind shred apart the world as he would struggle to rise through the conflicting currents. As she charged forwards, she would draw her chakra into the weapons she held, preparing herself for the moment of strike. The tomoe of her Rinnegan spun as she Observed his attempt at rising further on the Nimbus, which would be in poor shape having sustained so much damage in the epicenter of her attacks. As he had been attacking her, gaining eyesight of the man would not be difficult, especially being thrown towards him at the speed she was currently traveling. The Rinnegan would reach into her, through her. It would reach out towards the sand-user, dig into his mind and she neared a final position of nine meters distance from him, energies infusing, feeling a dark jolt of adrenaline surge through her she would push herself body and soul through the space between them, closing it to three meters.  Her Rinnegan's swirling would stop suddenly, focused on the sand-user's position even as the body attached to it bore down on him. 

Rinnegan: Mononoke.

The Homonculus would spend the entirety of its time idiotically around the battlefield prepared with its master's chakra, nearly crawling on the floor with blood-stub digits angling it to within five meters of the conflict. Her original eyes would not finish re-growing for a few moments still.

[Ranzu]

Zeki was not careful in watching out for the blinding light let off during the kick and was hit by it which burnt a hole straight through his body. It would burn away most of his sand body just from the laser alone, though it was quickly replaced by nearby sand. The more insidious part of the attack was that it somehow blinded Zeki's eyes even as they were replaced by sand from being burned away in the attack. Truly this opponent was not one he wanted to fight in a prolonged engagement, or any engagement really.

But he was not without any sort of recourse, performing a simple jutsu on top of his rapidly dwindling cloud of sand that created an eye of sand twenty meters above him. The eye would look down upon the earth below it, giving Zeki sight once more. And what he saw truly frightened him as the other ninja teleported once more before using his swiftly closing stone slabs as a jump point to launch toward him, cutting through the other slab that was in her way as she did so. Without thinking Zeki started to raise his diminished nimbus even higher before realizing this was probably what the opponent wanted him to do in the first place.

Truly this entire fight had been at her pace from the start, the battlefield taken from Zeki and made to suit her own needs. This was far from his usual style of combat and he realized his folly into taking into the air a bit too late. This was her domain, this was her area of expertise, this was where she was winning with ease against him. Something had to change and had to change fast before Zeki was simply swallowed up in her pace completely. And he knew what he had to do for that to happen.

A series of handseals were performed in surprising speed as the wind started to speed up around the Sadojin, forming three funnels around him with hurricane speeds. They would slowly orbit the floating shinobi while converging together to form a large sphere of pure wind force around Zeki. This was more of a defensive tactic, to help stall out the winds the other shinobi was shooting and to deter her from approaching any further. Now all he had to do was lower his nimbus to the ground and retake th-

A mental wave passed over Zeki, causing unnatural fear to sudden sprout in his heart. A wave of confusion brushed over him too but the Sadojin managed to hold off against that. But the fear caused Zeki to react very rashly, unthinking in his movements as he knew he had to get to safety as soon as possible. His poor nimbus, the sand mostly stripped away by all the winds, was dismissed in a panic as the Sadojin suddenly shoot towards the ground at an incredible speed. Another shaky series of handseals later and if undisturbed, Zeki would fall the two meters to the ground while his wind sphere would move with him until he impacted the ground.

Instead of truly impacting the ground though the Sadojin would simply meld into the ground as if it was a pool of water, slipping beneath the comforting embrace of the earth. His wind sphere would dissipate as soon as he slipped beneath the earth, the wind unable to be centered around Zeki causing the jutsu to fail, however the unnatural fear would still plague the Sadojin as he floated a half meter down in the earth. Panic still gripping his mind he would suddenly start turning all the ground around him into sand but did not stop right there. Instead he unleashed one of his most powerful jutsu, causing all the earth around him to turn into sand in rapid succession. One hundred meters radius centered around Zeki would turn into sand, all dirt, rock, and even smaller vegetation like grass and brush being turned into complete sand.

Even then the unnatural panic did not leave Zeki despite quite literally being surrounded by a miniature desert. This tipped him off to the fact that perhaps he was under some sort of jutsu as just being in the earth was enough to usually put him at ease, much less sand. Looking through the eye of sand in the sky, he would create two more arms of sand on the surface of the newly created desert around him and sent them storming toward the seeming cause of his panic: the other shinobi. The two arms would be about two meters apart, and both would be about three meters tall.
