Friendly spar [Mission]

[Kuro Inpakuto]

[Enter]

Walking into the center of town, Kuro looked about. Seeing several men in robes sitting upon pedestals held up by servants, he walked over. "Are you the nobles awaiting the sparring match?" Nodding, the men remained seated. "I guess we are just waiting on the other nin then... I'm sure he will show up eventually."

[.:Ryo:.]

[/enter]

Walking into the Capital City, Ayaka remembered the last few times she had been here and smirked. She had come to the Item Shop not too long ago and before that had been here on simple missions, just getting more money for her village. Just as she strolled upon the scene where she would be sparring, she heard the voice of the Rain genin. Indeed, she was supposed to be a genin as well, but she had been given this mission so she would perform it to the best of her abilities. She didn't expect anybody to actually get hurt here anyway. She parted her lips, beginning to speak as she stopped about fifteen meters away from the other Rain shinobi.

"I'm not a 'he'."

Her entire body was clad in a long, black robe with the Uchiha crest upon her back. She was going to make him pay for that. She was a girl, a girl who was a much better fighter than the men in Ame and was actually a Chuunin, unlike almost everybody in Ame. She would definitely prove her worth here.

[Kuro Inpakuto]

"I'm not a 'he'." Kuro heard, causing him to look at the newly appeared shinobi. Surprise suddenly spread over his face as he was unable to recognize his opponent. He knew all the Gennin of the village well, making it a habit to know those who he planned to beat out as he climbed up the village latter. Judging from the lack of knowledge, he knew she must either be very new, or something higher... perhaps Jounin or Chuunin? No, he knew it had to be the first thought, some new Gennin who had slipped into the village roster without his knowledge. Confident in his skills he brought his hands together and bowed.

"My comment was no attack at your humility, milady" he responded as he let his chakra build inside of him. He knew something was off here, but he just couldn't figure it out. Black hair, similar to his natural color... the long dark familiar robes... Kuro shrugged it off, bringing his hands apart as he stepped into a fighting stance. "I suppose we best let this show begin? Ladies first I do suppose..." he spoke, as the gentle winds caressed his double set of robes, causing them to swish about slightly in the wind against his rigid stance.

Above, the clouds were turning dark, a sign of the coming storms. 'What an appropriate time for a fight' thought Kuro as he stood, facing his opponent.

[.:Ryo:.]

As she looked over her opponent, Ayaka put her hair up into a ponytail so that it wouldn't get in the way when she had to fight. Yes, she knew that he had no idea who she was and didn't realize he would be fighting a girl, but she still had that bitterness swelling within her. She wanted to beat him just to prove, for once and for all, that female shinobi were just as good, if not better, than regular male ninja. He would underestimate her, that much was certain, and she could tell that he was about her age, but not as experienced. Nodding to his words, Ayaka put her hands together, which were still covered by her sleeves, and started into her handseals. A single drop fell onto her cheek as she smirked.

"Allowing me to strike first was a mistake you shouldn't have made." The handseals didn't take that long at all, for this was her favorite technique in the entire world and she had performed it countless times. She finished the last seal and the world around warp into an illusion. Hundreds upon hundreds, maybe even thousands, of pointed weapons would surround Ayaka's opponent. Axes, swords, daggers, kunai, shurikens, spears, and tridents, and all other forms of sharp weaponry would be staring him down. Before he would have a chance to react, all of them would converge upon his position at once. Her smirk was as obvious as ever.

He would be struck by all the weapons simultaneously so that he could feel nothing but shock and pain. The weapons would disappear soon enough, but now he would know what she was capable of. They weren't supposed to kill each other, so she just used a genjutsu to simulate it instead. "Your turn." She doubted he would even be able to move for a while after that move.

[Kuro Inpakuto]

As Kuro stood, weapons gathered about him, materializing in the air. Knowing full well that he was not truly in any danger, as the mission had stated that this was to be a friendly spar, with little need to shed blood, it did little to stop the pain as the weapons converged upon him, piercing his body, coating him from head to toe in the weapons. He cried out as they pierced him, the pain wracking over him, more than should have been possible before death.

Over and over the weapons ran him through, never resting even for a moment from their relentless assault.

Barely able to stand with the pain, Kuro brought his hands together as he formed a seal, inhaling as he did so. Wincing now, he cocked him head to the side, one eye opened before jerking his head back, releasing a cloud of hot ash into the air towards the woman. Knowing full well that any ninja would avoid the attack if possible, he hoped to break the illusion of the weapons around him with her sudden retreat. If she did not move quickly enough the hot ash would burn her violently, most likely leaving behind horrific scars, something Kuro dearly hoped she would avoid. Already the rain was turning to a light drizzle, the sky above him cracking apart with lighting and thunder.

o Fire Style: Hot Ash Breath.
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to expel hot ash from their mouth onto their targets to cause great burns to their body.

Description: User forms the needed hand seals and focuses chakra to their throat and mouth. Inhaling, the user releases a large wave of steaming hot black ash from their mouth, out towards the opponent. The ash quickly covers an area of 10 meters wide and 20 meters in front of them, leaving the hot ash in a 30 meter Cone expelling from the user, 8 feet high into the air, in about 1 second. This ash hinders all sight while active, except DouJutsu. However only remains within the air for one turn (6 Seconds). This ash upon contact, will instantly burn whoever is caught within, leaving second degree burns (B Rank Damage) along the effected body parts.
Limit: Fire Release

[.:Ryo:.]

As her chakra replenished itself within her body, the Uchiha just stared at the broken man before her with her arms just hanging at her sides. He knew that it was an illusion, but could do nothing to stop it from hitting him. He yelled out in pain as she saw all the weapons go straight through him, all at the same time, and all she could do was smirk. She was simply smirking because she thought it was humorous that he had automatically thought his opponent was a guy and, when finding out that it was a girl, he immediately underestimated her. Now he would know that Ayaka was just as strong a ninja as he, if not stronger. Or perhaps Ayaka was just making all this up in her twisted mind. Who knew?

As soon as he started in on is handseals, Ayaka put her hands together just to prepare herself for what was about to happen. It took her a moment, but she soon realized that the air was thick with steam, with an unbearable amount of heat. She quickly did her own set of seals and put her hand to her mouth, taking a deep breath before letting it all out. The breath that came out of her mouth, however, was more like a gust as it spread throughout the mist of heat and caused it to disperse immediately. If it didn't cause the air to disperse, then it would at least drive the heat away from the Uchiha. Still, she wouldn't be able to see for the next six seconds.

Fuuton - Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough) [30TP]
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls out a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything within its path.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---

Holding it for a brief moment they quickly exert it as a large blast of air the size of the user's head, and double the length is sent out towards the opponent within the distance of twenty five meters. This technique is capable of crushing an opponent's ribs if hit directly, or capable of dislocating a shoulder if hit along the shoulder. This technique is sometimes used to break down large doors, or to smack an opponent away from the user when the user comes into a bind. Depending on the user's class level depends on the distance this technique may be used. When the user is "D" class the distance is that of twenty five meters. Each class the user is higher then that of "D" The distance increases by five meters.

Limit: Must have the Wind Release, Must know Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind), Must know Kaze Ya no Jutsu (Wind Arrow Technique)

[Kuro Inpakuto]

As the hot ash blew from his mouth, it collided with the cool wet air of the rain, evaporating it as it rushed forward. Knowing full and well that he had simply stalled the inevitable, Kuro formed a few quick hand seals as he jumped backward, ultimately causing himself to melt into a puddle upon the ground. As he sank he saw a ball of wind suddenly rush forward parting the cloud of ash just enough to most likely keep the nin within safe. Moving forward he slipped into a small stream of water which moved across the ground, allowing him to move about freely as he headed in the direction of his opponent. Pain still wracked his body as he moved, something he tried his back of his mind as he formulated a plan.

o Hamon
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: (in description)
Special: Rat handseal
Drawback: The user obviously can not attack in this form.
Description: This technique allows the user to change himself into a puddle of water for purposes of stealth and concealment – staying in that form for three posts. The user is fully capable of moving around on the ground in this form albeit at a reduced speed unless he is in water in which case he moves normally. This jutsu does not discriminate between friend or foe.
Limit: Must learn from a Rain ninja/All Rain nin can learn

[.:Ryo:.]

By the time all the mist and such had cleared, Ayaka's opponent was nowhere to be found. A distinct frown was seen upon her face as a lot of the nobles around the battlefield began to clap and cheer, seeming to like the fight that was taking place before them. Her Brawler skills suddenly kicked in as Second Sense took over, her body becoming tense and her awareness doubling. She knew that he wasn't in front of her, to either of her sides, or behind her, so the only other directions were up and down. Ayaka sighed slightly as she put her hands together in her sleeves, taking a few steps about the battlefield as she awaited the attack. She could do nothing for now.

[/size]

[Kuro Inpakuto]

Finally seeing his opponent in the distance, Kuro moved slightly away before he reformed himself quickly, behind the opponent, rising seemingly out of the water, like magic. Hand already on his naginata as he reformed, he opened into a charge, now less than ten meters away. Still slightly slowed by the pain which was diminishing as he ran, drawing his weapon into his hands, preparing for the strike. His plan was to strike from behind, knocking the woman onto her front, then to bring his naginata at the base of her neck, hopefully ending the fight in his favor.

[.:Ryo:.]

Ayaka's Second Sense ability grew stronger when an attack was coming for her, especially since she was a class level above her opponent. She quickly turned to see her opponent about five meters in front of her, already halfway through his charge. She unsheathed the katana located on her hip and quickly took hold of it with both of her hands. The blades met in the air, creating that metallic sound that swords always made when clashing in the air. She smirked at him and nodded a bit. "I think that's enough. They've seen what we can do." She would wait for him to ease up before she did so that he didn't try to cheap-shot her.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense) [100TP]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Brawler

[Kuro Inpakuto]

[[Sorry about the wait, I raided last night... so it like most Tuesdays I most likely won't even be on but I'm back now, so lets finish this! ;D]]

Frowning now, having hoped his opponent would have struck at him recklessly, he pushed forward with his blade, before jumping backwards, doing a quick trick he flipped the blade upwards, sending it spinning through the air above him. Drawing back his fist he lunged, charging at his opponent looking ready to tackle. As he reached within a few feet of her, he shunshined forward and around her, leaving a afterimage behind in his place.

Appearing now about five meters behind her, he was already forming a quick set of handseals, the water in the air took a more condensed form, ten tiny bullets, which then shot forward, aimed at the woman's back. If they stuck they would surely hurt her, but he was sure to aim for all non vital areas, hoping to spare her most of the damage.

The naginata in front of the woman landed blade up, sticking in place in the ground, as the after image faded.

1/3 shunshin used
1/5 afterimages used

o Suiton: Mahou Mizu Misairu Renda no Jutsu (Water Release: Magic Water Missile Barrage Technique)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Description: User focuses her chakra into tiny bits of water, condensing them to form nearly-solid balls while still retaining their liquid properties. The balls levitate in the air, much like in the system invovled with her Ochiru Ame no Jutsu. The balls will then fly at the opponent, and depending on the amount of chakra used to throw them, the "Missiles" can easily dent thick metal armor or to knock down wooden doors on metal hinges. When a "missile" strikes an oponent, the chakra holding the water together will release into the atmosphere, causing the water to loose its ball-like shape and revert back into flowing water. Only 10 missiles can be created at a time, but when one is used, another can be instantly recreated for an additional cost in chakra.
Limit: Must have Water Release

[.:Ryo:.]

Once his blade was tossed into the air, Ayaka thought the fight was over, so she sheathed her katana and prepared to walk off the battlefield and go talk to the nobles. But instead, her opponent body flickered around her. Though he had left an After Image behind, the wind from his sudden movement rushed past her, plus her Second Sense ability acted up. She quickly turned around and did her own set of handseals, but hers wouldn't take as long because she was doing a D-Rank technique and he was doing a C-Rank technique. As the water bullets came at her, wind needles would collide into them, knocking them off their track so that they would hit the ground beside her. "That's enough..."

Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind) [10TP]
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[Kuro Inpakuto]

As his water bullets flew forward towards his opponent, Kuro was surprise as she turned around quickly, forming a quick set of handseals, which caused the air around her to ripple with power. Moving with great accuracy, he technique created ten needles, each small and nearly invisible, which flew forward colliding with his water bullets, causing each to explode in a symphony of water and wind.

"That's enough..." he heard her say, a comment which confused Kuro slightly. Suddenly he remembered where and what he was doing, just a friendly spar... turning he saw the nobles cheering and clapping from the show.

"Understood" Kuro said, shunshining around the woman to his weapon. Picking it up he slung it over his back, buckling it back in place. "Good fight, and trust me when I say I never forget the face of a worthy opponent, so I hope we get the chance to meet again in the future."

Turning Kuro bowed slightly, his hands together to the nobles who now sat dry under their umbrellas. Turning back once more to the woman he again bowed, before turning and heading out of the center of town. He was impressed by the woman, thinking back to her clever genjutsu use and surprising ability to always seem to sense his motives. Smiling now, he wiped the water from his eyes before stepping around the corner.

[.:Ryo:.]

The Uchiha had almost forgotten that the rain was starting to pick up. A smile on her face, she made sure that her sword was properly in its sheath before turning to her opponent, a friend and ninja of Ame, and bowing to him respectfully. As she did this, the Uchiha crest upon her back was shown to the crowd of nobles. She then turned to the crowd and, silent as the grave, bowed to them next. She smiled at them, not wishing to really speak to them, and proceeded on her way back to the village and away from this battlefield. She was looking forward to turning this mission in because it just meant she was a step closer to becoming a Jounin. She smiled to herself as the rain hit her soft cheeks and rolled down. It was as if she was crying, but not tears of sadness... Tears of joy...
