Battle me now

[zieg]

Arena: A large field, with a few rocks laying around. The edge of the area were covered in trees. The actual visible field was about 50 meters streached. Its brigth and early. The sky is blue and clouds covered it.

Zieg silently waited for an opponenet to battle in the middle of the field. He stood tall, with his katana and windmill shuriken moving on his back as the wind picked up.

OOC: Any opponent will do.

[shinzo-kori]

[Enter]

Silence....

His entrance was silent, almost ghostly. He didn't intend on approaching with such stealth, it only came with being a ninja. He passed through the fields from the trees, the many stones that scattered among the earth. It was an interesting place, nothing special but would indeed make a fine battle scene.

Hault

He looked up ahead to find his eyes set upon another in the middle of the field, an aura of boldness in his persona and stance. He seemed to be waiting for someone, but it couldn't have been himself. No, Tatsu had no intentions of meeting him or anyone for that matter here. He mentally shrugged it off however and approached with his hands in his pockets, a toothpick dangling from the corner of his mouth.

Rustle....

His shorts were loose but flexible enough to allow him free movement without fear of them falling from his waist. His black shirt was unbuttoned revealing his chest, free of chest hair following up to his chin with the light amount of hair there. The hair on his head blew in the wind as the clouds passed above, yet no signs of rain for it was warm like summer time.

Silence

His warm right hand held cold steel however, for only a fool would go head first with no means of protection, whatever the case maybe. He stopped only about ten meters before the other before looking ahead at his figure. He spoke lightly but loud enough to be heard by the other.

"Sup.."

[zieg]

Zieg had maintained his ground, silently waiting in the fields for an opponent. He wouldn't notice the approach of a possible enemy when watching the sky. Only until he approached did he notice. Zieg turned his body and meet him. He was a pretty shifty looking character. Probably because of his approach, the way he decided to come upon this boy. Zieg simply eyed him as his hair blew in the wind. He spoke with a firm tone.

"Very rare to find a shinobi with honor and doesn't attack one from behind. Then again you probably have no idea I'v come with the intentions of battle." He pointed his finger at the man.

"Lets fight. I'm itching to get some practice. What do ya say?" Zieg awaited a response.

[shinzo-kori]

"I'm not a coward, I fight a man's fight..."

He smirked slightly as the toothpick shifted to the other side of his mouth. He slipped his right hand out of his pocket and slightly shrugged lifting his hand to the side as he sighed.

"If you say so."

His right hand would then form into one handseal, an open palm other then his index finger which remained curled into his palm. It was the Ram handseal, and his chakra would then shift into this hand beginning the illusion of a Kunai which would protrude through his flesh and out ahead, aimed directly for the opponents left leg.

He only used this this to study movement, understanding his opponent little by little. He wanted to make sure he understood the opponen'ts limits, strengths, fears, and he would soon manipulate that if given the chance. His attentionst were battle, and he would not kill him because that was barbaric.

Snap....

The toothpick within his mouth's grasp would snap, falling to the green grass below his feet as he quickly shifted to the right finding himself about four feet away from a nearby stone. Its height was half of his own and may become of some use to him in the near future, but till then he would wait.

[zieg]

Zieg would grin as this man became his opponent for the day. He had no intentions of killing him but simply to battle him with the fullest of his abilities. The young boy would nod his head and hold his grounding. He activated his sharingan. The eye turned blood red, while three tomoe appeared and surrounded the center pupil.

"Then lets have a good match." Zieg found it interesting the man chewed at the toothpick. It was something he never really seen before. As the man took his hand out of his pocket Zieg tightened his muscle and prepare himself in case of an oncoming attack. The man simply made a handseal it appeared. A one handed seal.

"Interesting." Zieg uttered under his breath. Someone who could use one handed seals would be experienced. Possibly more experienced than him. Zieg would have to learn this before coming at him with an attack tactic. If this man wa sindeed more experienced than himself he would have to bring himself up to par to make this battle not one sided.

Zieg noticed that a kunai came from the man's body and aimed itself at his leg. It was merely genjutsu however as the sharingan revealed the kunai's transparency. Zieg didn't move as it oassed through his leg. Zieg didn't make a facial experession. Rather he returned the favor with a genjutsu tactic of his own. He made a handseal, similar to that of the shadow clone jutsu seal. His hands lifted and his index and middle fingers came out as they crossed. A clone appeared in front of Zieg and held itself in front of him. Zieg would then wait for the actions of the man.

Hydrou Bunshin no Jutsu
Rank: "D"
Skill: Genjutsu
Effect: The user performs the needed handsigns and then creates what seems to be an ordinary clone. The clone can not attack and will disappear the second it comes into contact with an opponent, however, when the clone is destroyed two more clones come in the place of the destroyed clone, this can continue infinitely if the clones are continuously destroyed, its purpose to overwhelm the opponent in numbers and cause an effect of invincibility although the clones can do no damage. A simple "Kai" technique can easily get rid of all of the clones when used by a skilled genjutsu user.
Special: Boar, Rat, Dragon, Tiger
Drawback: No drawbacks to the user
Description: The hydra clone technique looks like a normal bunshin no jutsu, however this is changed as the clone is destroyed and more take it's place, making the technique look like a high level kage bunshin no jutsu when in reality the clones are simple clones that can do no damage.
Limit: Must know Figment Perception

[shinzo-kori]

Silence....

Nothing but an eyebrow would raise as the previous action taken by his opponent caught his eye. He did not budge or move to avoid the attack aimed for him. Tatsu knew it was merely a Genjutsu, a weak one at that, but only another artist of illusion's would be able to tell the difference, his ability in this perception was almost flawless. It made him wonder, for a second only, because in battle there was little time to think or react.

Poof....

A puff of smoke before the opponent would signal another image, a duplicate of the boy. Tatsu obviously knew this was some sort of illusion, yet whether it was of any true substance with the ability to attack or not was unknown to him.

Now his other hand would be put into action as it slipped from the comforts of his pocket extending towards the sky sending the kunai into the air as his two hands quickly closed together to begin handseals. The Kunai, expertly landed three feet ahead of him, the blade digging into the soil of the ground as his chakra began to focus upon his next move.

Slop....

Three simple handseals could be seen from him, and quickly following this, the earth's soil would turn into a thick mud at a ten meter radius around him. Even the stone to his left would begin to melt as well along with all stones within this radius[only because the stones weren't described in a means of strength, so I made them weak]. The kunai would fall into the thick mud, buried slightly in its mucky form hidden from the eyes of all, but it didn't matter for its roll would play soon enough.

His eyes would never leave the two standing before during this action, and it was presumed that the one behind the new image was the true opponent, so he would not confuse the two and allow one to create some sort of distraction. However, he was still unsure as to the ability of this clone, not to mention the ability of the true opponent whom saw through the Genjutsu with great ease. Secrets to be revealed in the future.

Zieg would watch the man closely as he created the clone and held it in front of him. Zieg's sharingan allowed him to see through the clone almost and keep his eye on the man. He wondered how he would react to it. Not in the way he expected. Not at all.

Suddenly a kunai came forth and hit the ground in the space between the two. He would then swiftly do handseals to preform a jutsu. As he did the earth below the two would soon become mud. Zieg would take hope steps backwards to prevent himself from sinking into the transforming earth below him. He would stop at the edge of it as it finished up, taking everything below with it. The clone preformed the same action.

They continued to hop step until the mud had finished spreading. Zieg seen this jutsu before. To make it more apparent he knew the actual jutsu itself. This would make the young boy wonder about this man's abilities. First he starts with a genjutsu. Then a earth style ninjutsu. Normally one would start with a tactic like that to take note of their opponent's movements. Thus the genjutsu. Now hes usng a technique like this. Zieg concluded that the man knew many earth based techniques to take such a large amount of land and turn it into mud.

He still knew very little of the man to accurately conclude how he would fight. With so much space in between the two Zieg would take the chance to go on the offensive. The clone idoly stood by next to him. Zieg started preforming swift handseals and with that a deep breath. After which he would place his hand, which formed a ring like sign near his mouth and he blew a tremendous fireball at his enemy. He knew the man could easily avoid this. Since they were ten meters apart from each other he would obviously see this coming. Zieg's real intention was using the flame of the fireball to harden some of the mud in front of him. Whatever his opponent's plan was it might have involved this mud and ruining it may come in handy.

Muck....

Tactically, he thought like a machine, because once he was in a plan, he would go through with it at all cost, even if he had to cope with other situations. The two images, one no need for describing, would skip backwards from his muddy sink hole, which did really matter much to Tatsu for had he needed to, he would maneuver through it with another skill.

His opponent had escaped the muddy trap, just barely at the edge of his round sink hole. It was fine with Tatsu, however he would begin something that would become more of an annoyance to his plans, though ultimately they wouldn't do much. He had created some sort of flame jutsu aimed directly for him, though the distance gave him enough time to avoid the attack.

Scorch....

His hands remained together as he quickly lifted himself and pushed closer to the boy, however diagonally to the right, avoiding the attack as the ball of flames dragged against the muddy surface leaving some bit of a trail behind that dried an amount of the mud, however it was not enough to stop his plans.

Splash....

It did explode however, a massive blast that sent mud flying into the sky and dropping like rain from a distance. After dodging the attack however, he had begun a string of handseals that would help him in his next move, three simple ones at that. They were completed, and following this he fell to right knee and dropped both hands into the mud.

Silence....

Now at the moment, his move had not been revealed, for it moved silently but quickly through the thick mud headed for the opponent. However if one would notice carefully, he would see that the kunai that barely made the surface was now hidden from all eyes, everything remained silent.

[zieg]

The young Uchiha would wait for his opponent to make a move to avoid the massive fireball. His plan had worked as the mud that was to be on the bottom of the moving fireball would harden. The explosion from it would be a plus as well. Zieg watched as his opponent diagnolly moved to the right to avoid the fireball and immediately after that began to the handseals for another jutsu.

"Its as I thought. He does use the mud for his strategies." He thought that at first but he was still skeptical about this man's ability and strategy against opponents. Regardless Zieg had to react. He would send the clone to rush at the man. Though it was merely illusion and wouldn't hurt the man hopefully it would serve as a distraction. One at least long enough to allow Zieg his next move.

He charged a decent amount of chakra into his feet and as he did he jumped forward and high. Like a football being kicked he flew over the mud field. He started handseals in the air and started to twist and spin like a corkscrew. After the final seal and a decent amount of molded chakra he would be upside down in the air and have his hand near his mouth. Blowing he would send Another massive fireball at the man, pushing it away form himself. At the rate Zieg was flying in the air he would make it hopefully to the other side of the mud field. The field was about ten meters in area size so since he charged enough chakra to his feet and slung himself with such force he would make it outside of the field and far enough away to avoid the explosion.

Once again Zieg planned for the man to dodge the fireball but the explosion would harden another large area of mud. If so then considering the first explosion of the fireball and this new one about 2/3 of the mud would be hardened from the center. He charged chakra to his feet so his landing wouldn't kill him.

Shuffling....

His jutsu was already in place, however the opponent found in necessary to send the illusion his way. As he already paid close attention to this illusion previously, he already knew it was false, it did not matter though for his plans would not be bothered. The only problem was that he had not paid attention to the specifics of the clones ability, so it forced him to react.

He would smirk as a steel chain from the earth would surface from the mud, ironically a kunai rapped at the tip. It would be unexpected as it would quickly jam the kunai's tip into the jaw of the clone causing it to burst into a cloud of smoke.

Poof....

In its place, two duplicates of the previous one. He knew this technique, he had mastered it himself, and so he had solved the mystery. He would have used Kai, however at the moment his true opponent was creating quite the scene as he leaped into the air preparing a jutsu.

Silence....

To be honest, it was quite similar to the previous one....fool me once, shame on you correct? His hands had to remain on the ground, but what if he was underground. Surely the technique would work just as fine if not better, and so he would.

Muck....

His feet would sink from under him into the earth, and as this happened, the same chain which split the clone into two would shoot into the sky aimed to rap around the waist of opponent, and had he slipped out it would surely latch onto his ankle.

However there are always chances, and beneath the earth the beasts remained ready to continue. The massive ball of fire would make impact into the surface causing a loud bang upon the surface hardening the mud and sending drops of mud into the sky.

[zieg]

Before Zieg would land he would be encountered by an iron chain would rocket out at the Uchiha. Zieg would react quickly. Grabbing his windmill shuriken from his back, it snapping into four blades as he did he would launch his windmill at the oncoming chain. The velocity at which it spun would have forced the chain around it and it would have tangled and rushed toward the ground. If not that then at least it would have been thrown away from his current location.

He would land on the ground on the opposite side of where he started and small mud patches would fall to the ground. The smoke from the explosion would rise and Zieg would use his sharingan to try and find the man's chakra through it. He saw nothing. He eyed it carefully. Hes mind quickly worked. Most likely he dove underground. A tactic Zieg often used himself. It was phase one. Next he may try to pull the boy underground neck deep. After that its usually game over for an opponent.

Zieg would concentrate on his chakra and prepare handseals. He landed on the final handseal and waited. He was preparing to activate a defensive jutsu, incase he did try to do what Zieg would and drag him underground. Even if that wasn't the case the jutsu would help with some sort of surprise attack.

[shinzo-kori]

Clink....

His chain would meet some force above, however Tatsu remained in the darkness of the under world. He felt a connection with the chains, for it was his chakra allowing them the ability of movement.

The chain would get caught with this object quickly sending the chain down to the ground, but would that be enough to stop its power? Not a chance, in fact it indirectly made things all the more sweeter.

Breeze....

The chain was almost limitless for it was created by a combination of his chakra and the earth, thus its limit was the earth's limit and however long he could hold this up. Of course had situation's changed, he would resurface, however he would have to be cautious.

From the root, it would begin to circulate, quickly spinning the rest of the steel chain along with this windmill shuriken into a cyclone type attack. No doubt it would hit something, and with the added force, it would most likely cut a leg off had it made contact. It would extend as well to reach wider length's.

Mean while, that chain wasn't the only one waiting below, for another one began to surface, however still remaining within the crust of the earth searching and waiting for some sort of sign that the opponent was nearby. For if the opponent was spotted, it would be similar to the typical move used during Double Suicide Decapitation, and pull him into the surface to quickly be whipped out.

[zieg]

With nothing more to do but see if his opponent would resurface Zieg waited. He waited long enough to find that the chain he had brought down would once again begin moving, making itself spin. It became apparent that it was controlled by chakra and his opponent was doing it from underground.

"What a guy." Zieg would charge chakra to his feet and hop step backwards to avoid it. Its length would increase. He would continue to push himself away, eventually ending up on the outside of the mud field. He had nothing more to do. With out his opponent being visible to him he wouldn't be able to harm him very much. not from underground at least. Zieg prepared a substitution jutsu, yet again in case of a surprise attack.

[shinzo-kori]

If calculations served him correctly, his chain had found itself extending to over ten meters, meaning the opponent found himself out of his mud hole. He figured the opponent must have jumped back to avoid this attack for it would have surely hit him had he landed where he would have assumed.

It was time to get out of this mess, for though he wasn't exactly tired, he was draining a lot of chakra controlling both techniques as he was. His form pushed from the earth and to the surface as he appeared upon his right knee with his hands upon the ground as the chain slowly died down as to not rap around his form.

His hands would remain as he looked ahead towards the opponent whom found himself at a distance, but little did he know that two chains now raced to his path. Each with the intent of breaking the surface and rapping around his ankles. To make things a little more unexpected....

"You have some skill...I didn't believe you would see through my Genjutsu."

[zieg]

The two had been playing a pretty safe battle so far it had seemed. Neither one attacking each other physically with their bodies, but rather using jutsus to create an opening. It was a level battle, with neither fighter's showing weakness. Zieg would remain in a decent state. His opponent however he was unsure of.

The Uchiha boy had waited till his opponent showed himself, which he would then do. His body lurked form the ground as the chain within the field stopped. Zieg noticed first off one thing about him as he emerged. His hands never left the ground. Thats when he quickly deducted that the chain's moving and his hands being along the ground were one in the same. The chains were a jutsu, not mere weapons like Zieg had previously thought.

He would have to then act. He started to rush forward, throwing his hands together and creating swift handseals. Another projectile attack nonetheless. After the final seal which took only about a second to get to Zieg would take in a swift gust of air and place his hand near his mouth to blow his attack. Four fireballs rushed in his direction. If not one, another would hit if he tried a grounded evasive maneuver. Zieg didn't want this however. What he had hoped for was his opponent to try his previous tactic. Sink underground. If that was to happen the moment it did he would throw himself into the air to avoid a sneak attack from the chains.

If not he would continue with his frontal assault and draw his katana from his back, keeping his eyes on his opponent and rushing at him with a shushin no jutsu for a swift strike. Again Zieg's intention was not to kill this man. What he had really wanted to achieve this day was to see what his limit was.

What would his opponent do?

Katon - Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of spiting out, or emitting out a series of small fireballs in the size of a six inches to a foot in diameter to where the user is capable of hurling them towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The user is only capable of hurling out four small fire balls towards the opponent at one time.
Description: The user performs a few quick handseals as they quickly take the same concept as that of the Goukakyuu no Jutsu. The user then spits out or hurls out up to five small sized fire balls towards the enemy. Each fire ball creates massive amounts of burns but does not burst forth in an explosion. As each fire ball makes contact with something they spread out the fire creating a more of an area effect within the fire. The user is capable of using this technique in conjunction with multiple secondary weapons such as kunais or shurikens. The opponent is uncapable of noticing the kunais or the shurikens until the very fire is extingwishes in mid air. This technique is used typically to hide or to be used as a diversion for more of a powerful technique.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Shuffling....

As he surfaced, his opponent ignored his compliment. No matter, it seemed he was planning the same sort of attack like he did previously, and there was a distance so he wasn't so worried about having trouble dodging it even if he had to drag his hands along the ground to move.

This was different however, for four fireballs came his direction, each aimed for different locations of his body, but they failed in the fact that their size was much easier to avoid. He would be quick, flexible, and smart.

Clink....

His legs would skip over the chain with the windmill shuriken tied to its tip before swing it into the air, the blades meant to extinguish the flames, however only two were successfully dispersed into vapors of smoke.

The other two remained on course for him, however they seemed to have a lack of mobility other then straight. He slid across the hard crust of his mud circle and into the mud.

Scorch....

The heat of the flames blazed past him as he avoided him, but simultaneously, the chains found themselves where they needed to be. From there, they launched towards the surface aimed to rap around the opponents legs, but would he avoid them as simple as Tatsu avoided the past three flame attacks aimed for him?

He wasn't invincible however, for his chakra was depleting by the second holding this jutsu and avoiding these techniques were taking work. Had he used the same flame attack he previously used twice, Tatsu would have been forced to let go of the chains...lucky for him.

[zieg]

Zieg would watch his opponent handle the fireballs as they went so the chains would no longer react or at least Zieg had hoped this of happening. He didn't sink under the ground like he expected and he didn't try an areal evasion. It wasn't Zieg's style to try close range combat like this but he wanted to test his opponent's physical capabilities and see where he was. If lucky genjutsu and ninjutsu were all he could do well. Though he didn't expect him to be completely helpless at hand to hand combat surely enough he would be able to match him physically.

Zieg took his katana into hand and used his chakra on his feet and prepared to rush at his opponent. Unfortunately Zieg didn't expect the other chains to be rocketed from the ground. He could feel them moving with his chakra form under him. His eyes scanned down. Using a shushin jutsu he swept past the chains coming through the ground, even so to move closer to his opponent. With the shushin he would be within arm's reach of his counter. Zieg would send a rather powerful slash horizontally across his chest. The slash wouldn't at all be deadly. Rather just get some blood pouring from his opponent.

OOC: I dunno if that post was right. Tell me if anything is wrong.

[shinzo-kori]

[its cool, time for randomized taijutsu xD]

Shuffle....

His hands remained on the ground as the flames passed him, but now the opponent would find it important to finish this off quickly. He rushed forward towards Tatsu, his blade in hand and prepared to attack.

Silence....

Tatsu still had his hands to the ground, but it seemed a new fight had been brought upon the table. He smirked as his hands left the ground and the chains fell to dust. Gripping the two blades upon his left hip tightly, he released them.

Howl....

The blades would scream as they were released, two of them giving him great offense and defense. He was glad this had turned to a more physical fight then it was before. He would quickly lift into the stance as the opponent appeared before him with his blade prepared to make contact.

Clink....

His Wakazashi would be there in time as the blade attempted to make a horizontal slash, quickly pushing it off or parrying as his Katana aimed to do the same his opponent attempted. The blade would slash across the torso as he pushed backwards, but he was unsure of the opponent's ability in Taijutsu so anything was possible.

[zieg]

OOC: Randomized taijutsu it is. XD

Zieg would be somewhat shocked to have found himself blocked and deflected by his opponent's own blades that were swiftly pulled form the waist. With his horizontal slash being pushed away he would find himself staggering to the side opposite of where his slash would be pushed. In which case he had to react quickly. using the moment his opponent gave him by deflecting his blade and pulling a kunai form the holster on his leg in his left hand he would use it to deflect the on coming attack that was directed at him.

His feet slid along the ground as he was pushed back slightly but the distance between the two weren't exactly "safe." Either one could still swing and make some sort of contact. Zieg would react quickly. His sharingan gave him an edge in close quarter combat but what of his opponent's ability? He couldn't assume automatically he had an advantage in this match without knowing his opponent's own strength. He would push his body forward and try a thrust at the man's mid section. He kept an eye on that blade in his hand. Another was there as well. It would be persay a wild card for him considering Zieg's current situation. He kept his katana at standby. Most likely he would deflect the kunai and try another slash with the other blade in which case Zieg could use his katana to block.

Now the real fun began. Zieg thought much of his opponent. He was rather skilled in all arts of the ninja. It was hard to find a shinobi capable of being well mannered in ninjutsu, taijutsu and genjutsu. It was something to admire. He couldn't help but smile as he continued to enjoy this fight.

[shinzo-kori]

This battle was getting quite interesting, for now both had successfully deflected the other's attack. As they found themselves close to each other at that moment, Tatsu looked into the opponents eyes....

"Sharingan..."

Which explained the fact his Genjutsu was useless, and because of it he knew that this battle would grow difficult. The two would push off each other, each with a blade in hand. Though they each had a Katana and short blade in hand, Tatsu's Wakazashi was indeed longer then his Kunai, so that was slightly an edge he could pull out of this situation.

Shuffle....

The opponent desired to attempt a full on thrust attack, and being the intelligent person Tatsu, was, he knew that the opponent planned this as a means of trapping him some how. Who would go straight like that? No, Tatsu wouldn't fall for it.

Flash....

As the opponent came at him with the full on attack, Tatsu focused upon his reflexes before quickly using Sugizou to leave an after image of himself. The image would be destroyed had the opponent went through, however the true Tatsu found himself to the right of the opponent with his Wakazashi in his left hand, tilted slightly so that a side wound would be caused.

If successful, he would grin and back off from the opponent to give him the opportunity of rewriting his mistake. Had the opponent pulled some sort of move quite similar, he could only hope he would be prepared for it.
