A Meeting[P]

[Zetsumei]

The Sand Man sat within an abandoned park, holding his world map in hand. Lips were spread in a frown as he was choosing a location to head off to. "Where the hell should I head to now..." All four scythes were stuck into the sand beside him and his bow hand at his side, it was rather entertaining possessing six arms. Two held the map, one was holding a scythe, running his thumb along the shaft and the rest were hanging idly. It was rather boring here in Suna, if only there was one to advise him on a palce to visit.

[Orianna]

My eyes were cast downwards as I walked. I swear the sunlight here attempts to burn our eyes out of our sockets. Sand covered the roads and left me feeling distinctly gritty. I trudged around wondering what on earth I was going to do. It was ridiculously hot, I was ridiculously hot. I decided quickly if I could not find anything to do in this desolate area I would take my leave of this place, using the bars perhaps for awhile longer but other than that this place seemingly had nothing to offer. And thus my aimless wanderings would continue...

[Zetsumei]

His eye, hidden among the black of the "patch" that seemed made from ivory, turned at the sound of steps in the sand. A female passed by sweating mass amounts, far too much to be a local even after strenuous activity. A passing comment was made about the female, loud enough for her to hear. "Tch, damn wuss." His lips still spread in a frown his other eye continued to examine the map.

[Orianna]

I didn't pause, didn't flinch, simply spun a kick in his direction the moment the words left his mouth. I didn't know if it would hit, there was no real style behind my movements just a spinning kick aimed in the direction of the males stomach. If it landed, go me. If not I probably wouldn't give the male satisfaction of another shot, just continue upon my merry way, unless of course he would attack back, then the fun would begin! I recoiled my leg and stood staring for a moment wondering what possessed this idiot to comment.

[Zetsumei]

His frown turned to a smile as his eye hidden within the blackness watched her spin and lift he leg for the kick. His two bottom arms swiftly moved and intercepted the kick with ease. The ivory feel of his clawed fingers would be apparent as they made contact with the flesh of her leg. And with that she just walked off, the tart simply began to walk away after attacking him. That he would not stand for and standing up with the map rolled up he moved quickly, vanishing in a blink from his spot. It was almost as if he teleported in front of her, but it was simply a shunshin[1/3]. "You think you're just going to walk away from me like that after trying to attack me?" His lips had shifted from their frown to a smile as he gazed upon the girl.

[Orianna]

"You think you have the damn right to say whatever you want to whoever you want?" I demanded as I placed my hands on my hips. What an idiot! Did he want to get kicked again? I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him impatiently, simply waiting for the excuse to kick the idiot again. "Do you actually want something or are you simply here to piss me off?" I demanded.

[Zetsumei]

Looking the girl full on in the face he laughed at her words. "You think you can even hurt me!? Don't make me laugh kid." He continued laughing at her words as she continued speaking. It would be after she finished speaking that he spoke up. "A little of both, you ain't from around here." The smile remained on his features. "Help me out and I may make it worth your while, if you show me what ya got."

[Orianna]

My hands folded within my kimono sleeves as I glared. "Screw you," I muttered as my hands formed a set of seals. We stood perhaps 5 meters away. I dropped suddenly, faster perhaps than he expected and slammed my hands against the ground. A ten meter blast of wind would whip into the male, forcing him backwards, or so was the intended effect. Who knows what would happen.

Fuuton: Kamisorikaze (Wind Release: Razor Wind) (Starter)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a small domain a centralized area. This technique is used to cut, and push back opponents that are within the same sphere distance as the user in which is capable of performing the technique.
Special: Handseals slamming hand onto the ground.
Drawback: Effects allies caught within it as well.
Description: The user performs the handseals and them slams their right hand onto the ground. Immediately, a burst of wind extends outwards, forming a dome of violently spinning and twisting wind. This effect lasts until the user takes their hand off of the ground or one turn, whichever occurs first. This technique is capable of sending the opponent flying off into the distance of half of the user's capability of performing this technique. The technique's distance depends on the user's class level. When first learned the user is capable of performing this technique within the distance of ten meters. For each class level the user is higher then that of "D" class the distance increases by ten meters, as one who masters the art of the Wind Release adds in an extra ten meters.
Limit: Must have Wind Release

[Zetsumei]

The burst of wind was not an attack he expected to come from her and its rapid extension caught him full on. Slashes appeared across his chest and arms as it pushed him back. A minor setback, very minor but still a setback. Once it had pushed him its full ten meters he thought of using the sands surrounding for a jutsu, but instead formed a single seal with one set of arms. Rapidly did his shadow extend with the seal held to sieze her shadow and attempt bring her under his control.

Kagemane no Jutsu, ‰e^Ž—‚̏p (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "C", "B", ["A"] Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: "Hanseals"
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand. Must hold Rat hand seal until the technique connects with the targets shadow.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of Ten meters. Each higher Rank archived, the user is capable of extending the shadow another five meters. The user must first however, learn each rank a certain amount of times before then next rank is obtainable. The C rank version must be learned five times total. At which point the ditance is upgraded to "B" Rank training and now extends ten meters each time trained. This version must be learned 3 times total. The "A" Rank version, extends the range to Seventy meters, and every additional "A" Rank training extends it another ten meters. This technique caps out at 100 meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.

Difficulty on Escaping: Escaping the Kagemane is a tricky art for some, easier for others. Depending on your Stamina and Difficulty class depends on how well the opponent can escape the Kagemane. The Kagemane is held for a Certain time frame depending on Rank of the technique learned. "C" Rank can be held for 18 seconds before it breaks no matter what. "B" Rank 36 seconds, "A" Rank 54 Seconds. For every difficulty class the user is above the opponent, add another five seconds. If the opponent for every difficulty class above th user, subtract five seconds. If the Opponent captured is a Taimaster, subtract 15 seconds additionally. If the opponent is a Tai specialist, subtract 5 additional seconds. If the opponent is a Taijutsu No specialist, leave it as is. After doing the math, the amount of turns held will be apparent.
Limit: Nara Clan Technique

[Orianna]

Shadows. The sun was to my back causing his shadow to lie behind him. This made the movement of the shadow ridiculously apparent. My hands quickly dove into a pocket and pulled out an orb. I dropped it and lit it hit the ground before his shadow could cover the last five meters of the fifteen between us. I was quick to cover my eyes and look away as light exploded outwards chasing his shadow back towards him. I reached into my body and forced my very spine from my body, the new bone growing instantly in its place. Two meters of spine came forth, perhaps longer than normal spine but that was my choice. I looked up as soon as I was able to without being blinded. This was getting interesting... but not interesting enough. Perhaps I could get him to shut up and go home.

Bone Pulling
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique that allows the Kaguya member the capability of exerting, and pushing out a bone out of their inner body.
Special: ---
Drawback: Whenever used the user undergoes the capability of disease under effect increasing the calcium within their body which makes them closer to dieing unless gaining medical treatment.
Description: The Kaguya at this stage is capable of contracting their muscles pushing their very bones upwards and out of their body when desired. They are capable of dislocating the bone within the body and begin to ease it out without much effort. Because of the bone, calcium in their body the bone is quickly replaced from the one that is eased and pushed out. The way it works is that the Kaguya has a great control within their inner body. They can control their muscles and their bones better then any creation ever. With that saying, the bones and nerves constrict around the bone greatly, as the body works as a squeezer, squeezing out the bone out of the body until it finally pops out of the skin in which is needed later on for other techniques.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. This is the basic of basics and must be known in order to use other Jutsus of the Bloodlimit.

[Zetsumei]

My eyes had been on her chest as the shadow extended and I noticed the quick movement. A sphere was removed, one I recognized as a light bomb. Mentally cursing to himself I shut my eyes to keep from being blinded. At the same moment his hands moved out of the seal, going against the light would be too difficult. The sand man used the sand around his scythes to lift them from the ground and bring them to him. Once sure he could open his eyes again without going blind his eyes opened. The Scythes were still heading towards him but the sight he saw grabbed his attention.

Ivory weapons were in her hands, ones he had not seen with her before. It was a mystery where she had gotten them, yet the seemed hewn from bones. "Oh, now where did you get those things?" It was more a set of words to stall her as the scythes hurtled toward him.

[Orianna]

I slowly walked backwards. I just wanted to get out of here. "It's a spine, ever heard of it? Y'know those things that make you able to walk and stuff," I rolled my eyes as I continued trekking backwards. My eyes caught the weapons trickling towards him. This needed to end... now.

[Zetsumei]

I knew where the weapons were in conjunction to myself so four of my arms bent completely backwards. As the approached my hands closed around them. "A spine you say? I always wanted one of those." As I spoke my arms snapped back and positioned them to my liking. "Probably wont do you much good here though." As I spoke the blackness between the jaws around my took on a small crimson glow at the center. 'Perhaps now is the time to have some fun' I thought as my grin widened.

[Orianna]

...Always... wanted one? I blinked rapidly several times before looking at the bone in my hand. "If you want it... you can keep it with my compliments. I've another you see, I'd really just throw this one away. Hell I'll give you two... just if you're using them for something creepy... I didn't have anything to do with it." I was still backing up and keeping my eyes locked on his chest for any signs of movement. Who could know what this creep wanted a human spine for.

[Zetsumei]

Not a move would be made by me, yet the sand would leap to life at my will. From behind her the sand would leap to life to grab her legs and halt or at least slow her retreat. Regardless of its success or failure I would begin to walk towards her. "Really now? Toss it over then and you'll find out." I lowered my scythes, but was by no means off guard, I was simply not worried about what she could do to me.

[Orianna]

I hesitated and tossed him the weapon. He captured my legs, I still had my defenses still but perhaps something would come of this. The bone skidded against the ground and came to a halt perfectly at his feet. "There ya go have a blast!" I called as I folded my hands within my kimono sleeves once more. Hypothetically I could probably get out of these sand shackles simply by shifting the bones in my feet but for now I would wait, still on guard.

[Zetsumei]

Kneeling down I reached over and grabbed the spinal collumn from the sands. Bending my head so it wasn't in the way and exposing my back the centerwould split and open up. For a moment the sand that made up my form was visible in the parting at the center of my back before I laid the bone where a human spine would be. Straightening with the grin set upon continued to remain in place and I spoke. "Travel much?" The fight had gotten boring so I was on to business.

[Orianna]

I stared blankly as I watched his body seemingly split in two as he put what used to be my spine inside his own body. What sort of freak was he. I had begun shifting the bones in my right foot, resting my weight on my left, just in case he decided not to free my from my shackles. "Isn't a conversation nicer when one person isn't shackled to the ground? And to answer your question; yes." If he didn't remove his binding I would step out on my own, just to prove I could.

"You see I'm no ninja, just a traveler. I've been looking for someone to teach me some of these so called 'Academy Techniques'. I think we could make a deal, that is if you know these techniques. Seeing as you seemingly have no skeletal structure perhaps for every technique you teach me I can give you a bone of your choice." The words echoed in my mind as I waited to see his reaction.

[Zetsumei]

Releasing the shackles I had created at her feet I listened to the proposition she gave me. "Hm, doesn't seem to bad an idea. Throw in giving me someplace interesting to visit and you've got a deal." Regardless of her answer there I turned and walked over to a tree, grown by the park caretakers using the Wood release. A swing of one of my scythe's brought a tree branch, roughly her size, crashing to the ground, which I moved a few feet away from the tree with the sands.

After taking due note of it's location I moved to be five meters away and switched places. "Kawarimi, you can use it on things up to five meters away to switch out of attacks and set up counterattacks if you use it properly. Using a small amount of chakra you can reach out to the object and use that pathway to switch it and yourself." Placing my Scythes on my back I grabbed my bow and positioned it while watching her work.

[Orianna]

Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Switch Skill)
Rank: "E"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The Replacement technique. A technique where one quickly replaces their body with an animal or an object by making it seem like they were attacked, this usually distracts and confuses an enemy and create a chance to attack.
Special: ---
Drawback: A user may only switch with an object of similar size from the nearby area. A user must perform the jutsu ahead of time, and not within the same round they are attacking in. The Background must be explained correctly in order to perform. The user may not switch with an object on them, only something around them. The technique only works within a distance of five meters from the user. Objects changed may only be of at the most two feet in different of size. A user may not perform this technique, and perform other techniques after because it gives out the position of the user. This technique does not work on area effect techniques that exceed the user's capabilities of performing Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Switch Skill)
Description: The Kawarimi no Jutsu, allows a ninja to dodge attacks, whether they are weapons such as kunai, ninjutsu, taijutsu, or any other attack type. Coupled with other jutsu, it can be very effective in confusing your opponent, and catching them off-guard. The only downside, is it often takes a strategic mind to effectively utilize it, not that it can't be useful in the hands of an inexperienced ninja.
Limit: An academy Jutsu that all is capable of performing if they wish to do so.

“Sure… Kawarimi, why not,” I murmured as I looked at the branch that was nearly human sized. I locked my eyes upon the grainy piece of wood and gathered up my chakra. I am not exactly a huge fan of chakra using techniques but this would serve my purpose, thus making it worthy of my time. I let my chakra flow towards the log, breathing calmly and focusing my every cell upon the technique at hand. When I felt I had grasped the log completely I attempted the switch using the chakra to transport and jettison both myself and the log across the distance.

I crashed into the ground, somersaulting into the log and cursing the sky blue. “Son of a monkey lover,” I muttered darkly before rising to my feet. My eyes would narrow as I looked over to the male supposedly training me. If he laughed I’d kill him. Instead I regained my composure and recreated the original distance between myself and the log. Once more I let my chakra flow steadily from myself to the log. I was careful this time to keep my chakra attached to the stupid log. The technically had technically worked before, it just hadn’t traveled far enough; I needed to work on the distance.

The chakra snapped like a bow string. In a puff of smoke I was suddenly five meters from my starting point, the log rested blankly in my place as if nothing had happened. But it had, I had learned something new. “Well is that satisfactory… Sensei?” I asked, putting a tone of scorn into the word.
