Path C

[ladymia]

And so, it began. The enemies seemed very willing to start fighting. As did all of her team mates. Of course, Kitsuné wouldn't be taking the back seat now - not after all that training she did just to get here! She made but one handseal, to try and summon a number of weapons from the scrolls in her hands. But..nothing happened. She couldn't quite feel that usual bubbly sensation inside of her, there was no chakra flow, it seemed. Her face turned to Shiki, in shock - Shiki seemed just as troubled as she did. If they couldn't use chakra? How could they fight off these enemies!? The enemy prepared to shoot arrows the giant butterfly, and her riders. Rayna - the giant butterfly, swerved to the side, managing to avoid the large cluster of arrows just in the nick of time. Kitsuné threw her scrolls back into her pocket, knowing they were of no use. And as Shiki jumped off Raynas back, Kitsuné followed, her large closed Iron fan in one hand, and kunai in the other.

Upon landing, she threw herself behind the safety of a tree. It seemed the others had been having an even worse time than she and Shiki had however, two powerful attacks had been shot launched at them! And as one managed to attack Kenjis little leg, Kitsuné couldn't help but feel useless. " My main position here was to make sure I healed everyone.. " Her hands began to clench. " But without chakra.. " Her body shook vigorously, sweat pouring from her glands like an enormous waterfall. "I can't do that. I can't do anything!." An explosive was thrown right in the enemies direction , a grenade in fact. In hopes that it would blow up, and perhaps injure them. With their attention focused on everyone else. Perhaps they would not see such a small object flying towards them?

Kitsuné was never the type to intentionally attract attention to herself during battle. A medics number one goal in combat, is to stay alive. And thus, should only ever battle when absoloutly necessary. Because, if the medic dies, who is there to save everyone else? But in this scenario, many of her team mates would be unable to fight effectively. Due to a lack of chakra. A complete lack of chakra! As she remained hidden from sight, she began pulling at the tree before her. " Shiki, watch out! " She said this, to make sure her dear teammate Shiki didn't get caught in the explosion

OOC: EDIT: Apparently lifting trees requires chakra now. So, editing. Good bye survival! </3

This was it for for himself he thought as he noticed this chakra could no long be molded at his will. His chakra scalpel would quickly fade at his side. "Damn it" he thought as he noticed the me in the distance would begin to draw where weapons. "Damn it I need to do some quick thinking...shit thats a bow" he thought once again. with almost ligjhing fast speed he wold reach in, and pull five feet of wire from his pouch.

He would cute the wire with his sowrd blade in no time. He would take a few tenths of a second to tie it to the hilt of his sword. And with a quick whip of thick wire wraped around his hand he would begin to spin the sword. The sword begins to spin at a high speed and at a 45 dregree angle blocking most of his body. He would quickly make his way to the right side of the trail as he found a tree he could hide behind. and think of more he could attemp to do.

The sounds of awrrows hitting everywhere thre his thoughts of as nothing could come to mind. He would hold the sword once again in his hand the wire still attached to the sword and his hand.

[ooc sorry for the short post]

[kininata]

'Oh hell.' Kininata said under his breath as he suddenly felt the Chakra he had been molding into the sword dissipate rather unnaturally. Guess it's withdrawing time His mind assessed quickly as the warriors maneuvered into a position where their long bows could fire - within seconds a dark cloud of sorts formed above; its entirety was of arrows. He briefly entered the Iaijutsu stance and allowed his improved reflexes to predict where arrows would fall as best as he could, avoiding or parry them as best as he could with his skill. Even so, as he felt confident in surviving that volley relatively unharmed, he looked towards the nearest tree line and on seeing a diamond sword being drawn, he pushed all of his physical might into running for cover.

'At least I still have my fighting style to fall back onto.' He continued to murmur under his breath as he entered the cover of the tree line to break line of sight with both the rain of arrows - the bark acting as a shield - and partially from the shockwave of strikes that would be gliding towards them. He was familiar with that sword style, and it apparent that this was a fight that was only going to be won in one of two ways; a withdraw to an area where Chakra could be used, or an organised assault from every one here.

The first was likely to take too long considering that their capabilities are fully developed around this form of limitation - it was likely that close to a third of them would be injured or killed just trying. The second option was the only one remaining.

'Shigure,' He would say, being only a few meters from him in similar tree cover, 'Stay in cover, and watch that swordsman. We need to organize and take him down as fast as possible, or else we'll never get to the bowman.' He said, hoping that Shigure would understand his plan from those words. This should get interesting

[ladynatsumi]

I had been staring right at Kenji at the moment. But soon picked up on something that was wrong; wrong with me... I suddenly felt powerless and my Ryuugan had somehow deactivated itself. 'What the? Where's my chakra gone?' I frantically looked around to find that those tin solders had raised what looked like a bow. “A Bow!” I yelled out and turned in a brief motion, spotting a tree that stood 5.4m away from my current position. Kenji was already in motion, pulling out a umbrella large enough to shield only himself. My alert gaze went back to the archer and had noticed that a swarm of arrows had just been launched.

I broke into a full out sprint and strained my ears and reflexes to the max. The tree was around a meter thick, so that would be perfect to cover my body. As I neared it, the arrows were already falling to the ground. I could hear tapping sounds as the metal heads struck the ground around me. That instructor wasn't kidding when he said that it was his job to make sure that none of us make it out of here alive. Just then a single arrow had managed to skim the side of my ankle. Pain seared up my right leg and I twisted my body around and jumped slightly to the left and took a giant leap of faith. I had no chakra to boost my reflexes for a quick getaway, so I kicked off of the ground with all my strength; despite the pain that was coming from the scrape on my ankle. I had pushed myself forward into a dive.

My body slammed against the ground out of harms way. More pain hit me as the tip of my chin had slammed against the ground due to the rough landing. I grunted and yet another arrow struck the ground inches from my feet. I quickly pulled my legs in behind the tree along with my body and tucked my knees into my chest. Tears were now streaming down my cheeks, smudging my eyeliner. If one were to look at me from a distance, it would look as if I were crying black tears. My right ankle was bleeding, but the wound was not bad enough to cause for alarm. Just a minor scrape; nothing serious. I grabbed a single senbon and sliced the bottom of my leather pants to create a small strip to wrap around my ankle before slipping the senbon back into my glove. At least that would stop the bleeding.

Jutsu/Technique(s) used:

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

(I'm going to be more gentle than I should be this round)

Nyutsuki: Standing in shock you would be a sitting duck to the barrage that fell upon you. Tearing your body nearly to a pulp as blood seeped from head to toe. Luckily, nothing had gone deep enough to kill you. But even as you were now, movement and heavy physical exertion would be nearly impossible.

Shiki: I'm not to sure about the whole connecting through thought part of your post, but I'll let is slide this time. For now you're in the clear.

Kenji: As you hoisted the umbrella above your head, you'd find it to fail in serving as any form of a shield, arrows would easily tear through the cloth structure. To your luck, they would miss vital organs, but your body would be torn tremendously with the amount of wounds that covered you. Blood blanketing your frame. And in such a critical shape it would be very difficult to exert yourself very much without passing out due to overbearing pain.

Kistune: After escaping to safely behind the barrier of trees, you would attempt to deroot the massive growth from the ground. But as you pulled on it, it would remain firm. Without the use of chakra, it was impossible to tap into your medic strength which was utilized by the expert control of your chakra. And so the attempt would fail, it was time to think of something new.

Shigure: As you swung your sword from the wire to which it was attached, arrows would find their ways through the gap in your defense. A single projectile piercing your back. But due to an absent mind, you had failed to notice the attacks of the swordsmen. Your body would be slashed many times, causing crimson to fling from your body like a man over a bridge. You would make it to cover but not without critical damage.

Kininata: Your knowledge of taijutsu and surveillance of battlefield, had allowed you to successfully escape harm's way.

Natsumi: Although you had suffered minimal damage from the projectiles which had reigned down, you had failed to provide an evasion for the swordsman's ranged strikes. Several would delve into your flesh, causing pain to shower over you in your leap of faith. Though you had managed to take cover, your were bleeding badly. And it would be to your benefit to finish this portion of the exams quickly.

A cloud of silk would descend upon the warriors, only managing to encase the swordsman who struggled to free himself from the sticky substance. But his violent thrashing would go to no prevail. He was far from dead, but for the time being he would no longer be a factor in this battle. The man who stood parallel to the archer would enter a semi-crouched stand, preparing for the incoming shinobi. Meanwhile, the ranged combatant would fire off a myriad of arrows into the trees. Each curving around the wooden obstacles and targeted at the positioning of the shinobies who hid within them. Fifteen total arrows would vault towards the seven shinobi. Two arrows to each save for the least damaged genin (Kininata), who had three arrows to worry about, however the shots were in succession and not all at once..

---

Archer:

Curving Shot
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: User is able to make their arrow curve around an area to try and hit the opponent.
Special: ---
Drawback: The arrow is unable to curve at sharp turns. Arrow may curve once in one direction.

Limit: Must be an Archer, Must know Point Blank Shot

Close Range Fighter:

Semi-Crouch
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-crouched stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture You may choose to fight from a crouch (or semi-crouch) position during a boxing match. If you choose this option, lean forward rather than maintaining an upright position, whilst making sure your feet are kept close together. The most important thing to remember when adopting a balanced boxing stance is to relax. If you start to become tense, your balance will be negatively affected and you will be more likely to receive a harmful blow from your opponent. Your neck and back should never feel under any pressure. If your neck and back do feel tense, you may be leaning your shoulders too far forward and not rotating your hips in line with them. If you want to increase the range of your punches, try positioning your front foot ahead of your head. To see the difference that this new stance can make, stand in front of a punch bag whilst keeping your back foot steady and in the normal position. Punch forward slowly and keep your punch at its full extension. After this, move your lead foot in front of your head and repeat the punching movement. Stop the punch at its full extension and you should be able to notice the increased range now available to you. When practicing this variation, keep the other elements of the orthodox stance, such as the position of the elbows and chin, the same.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing)

[Nyu]

NYustukyi standing in pain and shock fo the attack, after the brief daydream would now be angry. One handed hand seals moving at such speeds that were untraced by all but the most skillful eyes. The chakra pouring into the surrounding area would shield himself from danger. These fuckers wanted to play with range? Let them play with range them. The shield of ice protecting him more hand seals would begin and the jutsus would start to fall into place. He maybe badly hurt but he could for sure fight back. His jutsu was that of clones and copies of himself.

He summoned three compies of himself of the demonic ice nature. They would be his force while he tended to himself int he ice shield. More hand seals and more chakra. More water being created and more ice being used, the ice and water filling in the wounds that riddled his body. Not healed but now not any closer to death. Ice plugs held together by his shear skill of use. The clones themselves had begun their own dance of death weaving jutsus in and out. One handed half seals, the clones at full power would kill these fools.

omigosh, just die nyu. additionally, mister chuunin examiner, kitsune threw a grenade at the assailants in her post, and you've mentioned it nowhere in yours, so is that a critical hit~? and one more point;

Name: Ishuu Chou Teishu [Butterfly Swarm Host]
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Passive.
Effect: Allows the user to control the butterflies that are attracted to the blood nectar.
Special: Must have flowers grown upon the body by the Blood Genesis Ritual
Drawback: --
Description: When the user has grown flowers on their body, they will begin to attract the butterflies from all around. These butterflies, upon tasting the nectar of the flowers grown from within the body, will become addicted to the taste of the nectar and will keep them around. As the butterflies begin to consume small amounts of the user's chakra, the user becomes capable of controlling them by simple gestures, and even begin to control them for more unique techniques. However, maintaining the wellbeing of the flowers which are being fed on by the butterflies is difficult, and as such the user will be unable to maintain as many flowers. A singular flower is capable of supporting five butterflies.
Limit: Requires Sousekichi Ritual. Must be a part of the Kitateha Clan

so i'm pretty sure i can still control them, and summons, if you were referring to Rayna, can act of their own accord entirely, just as orochimaru's snake, or tsunade's slug.

Leaning out from behind the tree, Shiki saw simply pain. A few of the participants were already ripped almost to shreds by the hail of arrows, not to mention the sword barrage. But, quite miraculously even a shinobi who had simply stood there and let himself be hit, seemed to be surviving quite well. Curiouser and curiouser. Regardless, Shiki could see that one of the assailants had been trapped in Rayna's silk.

"Kit, target that one!" Shiki said hastily, before the arrows appeared in her line of sight. Much less than before, the attack seemed less of a threat, and he appeared to be firing at all the genin, wherever they had taken cover. Swinging her pinwheel off her shoulder, Shiki smashed the incoming arrow to the side, before throwing her other arm forwards, launching five darts at the man restrained by the butterfly queen's silk. It appeared that two arrows were aimed at each shinobi, and as the second approached, it bounced neatly off of the razor sharp ring as the kunoichi deflected it. Her darts had been aimed mainly for his exposed neck, and, trapped as he was, Shiki hoped they'd do the job.

"Rayna~!" She then cried, and the butterfly queen immediately began spraying the bow man with silk, flapping her beautiful, iridescant wings as she hovered near the three men. There wasn't much else she could do, at a time like this.

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: I'm not sure if I can post now, but my post won't include Daisy or Kitsune except for descriptions))

The boy panted a little as he looked at his body. He was covered in his own blood from top to toe while the umbrella had been reduced to shreds. Well...except the staff thing that he could hold onto.
Kenji noticed his byakugan fade away and poked his head slightly from behind a huge, brown root. Both of the girls were out of his reach while the redhead seemed to manage; he had no wounds.

His eyes then caught an arrow that came against him; it would not be long until it reached him. 'I can see it's heading towards me, but I'm unable to dodge since my byakugan have turned itself off...crap' thought the boy before his head disappeared behind the root.
The Genin's skin turned chalk white when he saw the black-haired guy from Kumo lay 10 meters to his left. It seemed like he had got into the swordsmans range judging from the number of cuts that were in his body.

'I have to help him since Kumo are our ally' thought the young male. "Pst, doujutsu-senpai! Get over here, I have some bloodclot pills you can take" said the brunett and tried to move his hands.
Despite that the bleeding had stopped at the largest wounds, his body was still in quite a lot of pain. He picked up a pill but dropped it on the ground next to his left hand by accident.

Pale purple eyes then noticed an arrow that was only 15 feet away or so. The optics then widened in fear since the arrow was on its way towards his upper arms. If the Kumo shinobi did not do anything, he would be in even more pain.
Another one was heading for the right shoulder, but it was 20 feet away. It all came down to the foreign shinobi now...

SPOILER: Click to show

Byakugan has been re-activated. Kenji is hid behind a tree (from the enemies POV) 10 meters away from Shigure. He will be hit unless Shigure does something.

Ate one of these in the previous post, so the pill should have at least stopped the bleeding a little.

Blood Clot Pill
Rank: “C”
Type: Secondary "3" Per Slot
Effect: A pill that stops bleeding and accelerates the red blood system.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The pill is about 1/2 in diameter about roughly the size of a regular Marble, the color of the pill is a bit darken from all the different herbs that were mixed into it. The pill is able to activate somewhat of a chemical reaction in the body that will trigger the Thrombus or also commonly know as (Blood Clot) is the final product of the blood coagulation step in hemostasis a very important part (the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel). A thrombus in a large blood vessel will decrease blood flow through the vessel that has been damage. So that the blood will then thicken and form a clot of blood cells and fibrin strands to stop the bleeding when blood vessel is severed.
Limit: Found in Any Hospital Shop
Cost: 500 Each

It seemed, this was a failure. Apparently, no matter how little chakra was needed - lifting the tree was impossible. So still she sat, sitting behind the large wooden object. Hiding from her opponents. She could already see two of the shinobi were critically injured. And Kenji probably would be soon, from the amount of minor attacks he had sustained. If only she could use medical ninjutsu.. .Shikis butterfly managed to imprison one of the three enemies however, so it wasn't all bad. Kit! Target that one! , Shiki had been the main cause of damage so far, and thus - Kitsuné too needed to prove her worth here. As the bowman began to draw his arrows, Kitsuné could already tell he was going to aim for her, there was enough arrows prepared to know that. She moved from her current position, to the tree little more than 3 metres to her right, in this forest type area, trees were closely connected. And thus, as she ran towards the enemy, passing all the trees, seeing her through the blurs of brown bark, and greens of plants would be difficult, difficult to aim at - at least. The arrow , in looking back briefly - was able to turn and pierce where she previously stood. But it was doubtful it could reach her now.

A grenade was removed from her flak jacket, it was prepared in moments, and thrown with all her might at the cocooned enemy. Hoping that with the other enemies concentrating on hitting their targets with their arrows, and crouching down in defensive stances , they would not realise her attack. The enemy who took stance - he was a close range fighter. And could be overwhelmed. But not if this Archer still existed. Shikis butterfly queen spat a large amount of speedy silk at the archer, in hopes to capture him. Though if that wasn't enough, Kitsuné would throw a number of 3 kunai all aimed for his head. This attack too - was hoped to catch him by surprise. " Guys! We need to get the archer! out" these thoughts in her head were all she could think of, the archer was her number one target - currently.

[Koji Kazeraikou]

Shigure didn’t noticed one of the men’s attack and was to close from it. He was multiple times. ‘Damn it’ he thought as he closed his eyes. He could hear someone call out to someone. “Dojutsu-senpai Get over here, I have some bloodclot pills you can take" He would re-open his eyes to notice the pill on the ground dropped by him. He would reach in to his pocket. Pulling a green pill from his pocket. He was told never to use these unless he really needed to.

He would pop the pill in his mouth and chew it the taste was nasty. He swallowed it as he stood up he noticed that there were two arrows coming at both of them. He would stand and use one of his few tai moves he knew shooting himself the ten meters to the kid the strain on his body was high but the effects of the pill started to kick in he would leave faint imagines of himself as he ran to the boy.

In just one fluid motion he would scoop the pill and chew and swallow it as he scooped up the boy cover in blood. His left hand would find their ways under his legs. And his right hand under his back holding him tightly. He would jump to avoid the arrows coming at this younger boy. Leaping in to the trees heading up about 40 feet, he would sit him down as he tried to think of something to do next.

From behind the cover Kininata took only a moment to recollect himself, hearing that others had not been as fortunate as he had been - and considering the capabilities of the enemies before them, there was bound to be something of equal danger and ferocity coming up soon. He bounded away from his cover and looked back up towards where the opponents were, seeing the archer once again taking aim with arrows. The angle of projection seems to be implying a more direct shot capability, but since most of his targets would be in cover, how does he expect to- The thought was cut off as he saw an arrow being launched in his general direction. Poised in the Iaijutsu stance, he would lunge into cover once more and expected the arrow to miss by some considerable distance. He was quite wrong.

Even as the arrow suddenly bent in an unnatural and obviously empowered manner to adjust for the cover the tree had given him, his mind raced to an instant conclusion - one that he should have considered the moment the mass fall of arrows occured. If there are techniques like the "Ninpou Kari Shuriken", then its only logical to assume there would be similar for most ranged projectile attacks. Damnit! He cursed mentally at himself as he saw that no matter how he would try to avoid this arrow, it would strike him. Shifting his position as best as he could, he could feel the cold metal pierce the skin of his left shoulder, pushing him backwards a couple of feet before he stabilized himself. With quick action he reached up and snapped the shaft two inches out from his fresh wound, and paid attention to what was bound to be additional arrows.

Moments later the second one skirted around the corner of the tree aimed straight at him - and he was fully prepared this time. Employing the Nukiuchi kata, he twisted his body with just enough time to watch the arrow skim past his face, and realised that he could now predict the path of the attacks enough to continue evasion for the moment. Like the Kari Shuriken, once its made its adjustment once it will lack the ability to do so again. Another moment passed and a third arrow came from around the bend to aim, this one for his torso. This time he performed the Enegashi kata, turning his body to perform the technique smoothly, and then advanced further to the path line to observe his opponents as well as the actions of his current allies.

The wound in his shoulder would, within an hour, begin to cause him discomfort and weakness, but for now evaluating a plan of attack where he could push an advantage was of the top priority. He could see the other arrows shot off into the woodlands, and possibly hear some of the yelps and screams from hits, but soon that archer would run out of ammunition against this many targets - and then he could make a press on the enemy.

ooc: I hope you'll forgive me but my friends moving so I'm helping him pack till late tonight. Expect a post tomorrow.

[kininata]

OOC: Does this mean that - with the 3 day IIC gone past - that we can assume they don't react to our actions and we can go on the offensive?

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

No. I will be posting tomorrow, been dealing with irl issues. If you have anything to say, please take it to pm's. Thank you.

[Chuunin Examiner 3]

Nyutsuki --

Dead. You ignored the fact that chakra usage isn't allowed, and considering your already critical condition, a few arrows would be enough to kill you.

Shiki --

Your deflections of the arrows were sufficient, maintaining your unscathed visage. Though your darts wouldn't have the intended affect, for as they vaulted towards the bound man, his comrade would stand over him. His versatile fists would serve to deflect the incoming projectiles, however, he would unintentionally deflect two downwards. Thus, a couple darts would manage to pierce the abdomen of the swordsman.

Kenji --

Your timing of how long it would take for the arrow to reach you is a bit off. The bloodclot pill would manage to stop some of the bleeding, however the first arrow would manage pierce your right leg. Reliance upon the other shinobi would fail as the usage of chakra is still impossible, and he wouldn't be able to leap to you instantly. To your luck, the second arrow would miss you by inches.

ps. no byakugan reactivation.

Kistune --

You would manage to avoid the arrows but your attacks would prove to be unsuccesful.

Shigure --

As you attempted to burst forth, you would find yourself moving at regular speed. A lack of chakra removing any effect the technique my give. In other words, you would not reach the man in time, but you would manage to avoid arrows in sprint.

Kininata --

The tracking shuriken is a ninjutsu technique, so that wont work. But you evasions would manage to allow you to avoid further damage.

---

The close range striker would advance to deflect the incoming projectiles that fell in upon his companion. Knocking most to the side, however, two would manage to pierce his downed ally. Snatching him up, the fighter would escape into the coverage of trees, him and his ranged comrade escaping the harm of the grenade and the silk with distance at hand. They would seemingly become one with the trees as they disappeared from sight though the swordsman would be unbound by the use of a senbon. Meanwhile, a dark cloud of arrows once more loom upon the young genin. The angle of the strike voiding any defense the trees might offer. And while they were stripped of defense, it was also more difficult to see with the enshrouded venue. It would be impervious for everyone to escape a mass of eighty arrows which could not be seen.

Parrying With the Gloves
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", ""
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: To parry a user must know how to parry. They must know and see the attack coming towards the user. The user must also know when the attack is going to come.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depending on the rank the user knows in this technique depends on how well they may Parry without harming themselves.

This means in order to parry attacks that are "C" rank, the user must know Parrying With the Gloves "C" rank. The problem with this technique is that the user will not know if they can parry an attack or not. It the user parries an attack that the user is incapable of doing so the attack goes through and smashes into the user. If the user is able to, then the user may simply move the attack to another direction making a counter come easier against the opponent.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch, Must know Heightened Perception per rank. This means to learn Parrying With the Gloves the user must know Heightened Perception of equal rank first.

[daisy]

"I... i don't know what to do!" Shiki screamed. She stood twenty meters from her opponents, who, all three, were unscathed and now hidden by trees. How was she supposed to fight them? She, who was neither as fast nor as strong as the other competitors, who knew nothing of taijutsu, how was she supposed to hold her own? And now, she couldn't even see who she was supposed to be fighting?

"Rayna!" The kunoichi cried, the moment the fighter grabbed the silk-encased swordsman, before turning on her heel and running. She ran in the opposite direction of her opponents, Rayna closing the distance between herself and her mistress in order to fly over the young girl's head. The massive butterfly flew low, close to Shiki, her goal to protect the kunoichi from the inevitable hail of arrows. Her bright brown eyes were narrowed. She wasn't running away. Even as she covered ten meters, now thirty meters from her opponents, Shiki didn't look back.

It was true, she wasn't as physically strong as her peers. It was true she knew no taijutsu. And it had become increasingly clear that she could not win this battle without her chakra. Thinking back to the arrival of these three men, it was then that the Genin found their chakra inaccessible. And the way they fought, sticking to long range attacks, when three men with such mastery of taijutsu could easily crush the Genin in close range. It all added up to them preventing the usage of chakra. And, as strong as they may be, no jutsu was all encompassing.

The moment she covered another ten meters, Rayna still shielding her from above, Shiki's shaking hands formed a single handseal. Serpent. Now standing forty meters from her opponents, the girl performed the Haeru. Should flowers bloom in the ten meters around her, she would know she was right, that chakra was only prevented within the area around these men.

Of course, she could be wrong. Maybe she wasn't far enough away from them. Maybe no matter how far away she went, her chakras were sealed. Maybe she was going to die here.
"I won't die here! Just wait and see, i'll kill you with my bare hands!" The kunoichi screeched, sweaty, dirty and terrified.

Kiseki Youshoku ( Miracle Cultivation )
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates Hanakora clan flowers without seeds at the cost of extra chakra.
Special: Refer to Puranto Ninpou : Haeru
Drawback: ---
Description: Having mastered the Hanakora clan arts, the user gains the penultimate ability of the clan; the power to create the Hanakora flowers without seeds. In order to do this, extra chakra must be expended. By using a “D” rank amount of chakra along with Puranto Ninpou: Haeru, the Hanakora is able to create a field of flowers 5 meters in radius without first planting seeds. More chakra can be used to create a larger field, however, the size of the meadow can only be 25 m in radius maximum. These can be used for any and all Hanakora jutsu based around flowers.
Limit: Hanakora Clan. Puranto Ninpou: Haeru. When the user gains 500 TP into Hanakora jutsu, this is gained automatically.

Puranto Ninpou : Haeru
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A basic technique of the Hanakora, where the user molds a certain type of chakra to feed it to the clan’s special seeds and make them sprout into flowers. With other techniques, the seeds can grow into different kinds of plants.
Drawback: ---
Special: Handseal: Serpent
Description: This is the first clan technique for the members of Hanakora to learn, since it’s needed for many other techniques. The user spreads the needed amount of seeds in the desired area and uses then the Serpent seal to make the seeds sprout into flowers instantly – almost as soon as the seal has been formed, the flowers are ready for use. The seeds will always respond to Haeru chakra, no matter where the seeds are when the technique is used: One bag of the Hanakora seeds can become a full-sized, flower filled meadow even in sand and snow, or while floating on water. The basic form of Haeru creates red, blue, white and yellow daisies, but by molding their chakra in a slightly different way, the user can also create other kinds of flowers.
Limit: Hanakora technique

[Minoru Hyuuga]

((OOC: Uhm, since you did not mention anything about Shigure and Kenji's trip in the trees, I'll just say they are on their way up))

A sharp pain shot through his right leg; one of the arrows had hit him at the back of his knee. "GYAAAH!" screamed the young male since the pain was just too much. He pulled out the arrow and dropped it on the ground before someone lifted him off the ground.
The 'someone' then started to climb up the tree he sat under, carrying him like he weighed nothing. Some blood came out of the wound but the pill had already stopped the bleeding on about 70% of the wounds.

Kenji looked up to see the face of the man or woman that had saved him. It turned out to be the ink-haired guy from Kumo who had that doujutsu. "You saved me..." muttered the boy, his eyes wide with amazement, gratefullness and happiness.
The older guy had the opportunity to grab the pill that the Genin had dropped and left him. But he had actually saved him from the arrows and a rather grim attack.

The young male tilted his head a little; they were now about 30 feet above the ground. 'I'm glad I don't have a fear of heights' thought the brunett while he saw the men move into the forest. Since he did not have the byakugan activated, he could not see exactly where they went too.
'This can't be good' thought the boy and swallowed a little. He then turned towards the older shinobi with a thoughtful look on his face.

"It's kinda weird that they still have arrows left. I mean, they shot quite many arrows when they met us earlier" said Kenji before he turned his head back again. He had a bad feeling about this...just WHAT were the dangerous trio up to!?
He got his answer soon enough; hordes of arrows came towards them. "Senpai, look!" said the young male while he pointed towards the arrows.

"Here, you can use my umbrella handle to do something! I cannot protect you unless I am able to use my Jyuuken or defensive ninjutsus" said the Genin, now a bit panicked. He then saw the brunette girl from Ame run in the opposite direction with the giant butterfly hovering over her.
'What is she up to?' thought the boy before he saw her doing some handseals. Was she planning on using some long-range ninjutsu?

SPOILER: Click to show

Kenji and Shigure should be at least 30 feet above the ground now. Remains of umbrella given to Shigure. No jutsus used. Since they're in a tree, they should be able to see Shiki and the butterfly.

Unsuccessful. The word that sprang to mind as her kunai and grenade barrage failed her. The enemies escaped into the trees, barely seeable from the distance. These enemies were becoming a real nuisance, banning their chakra, repelling their attacks, and going as far as hurting her fellow comrades. Kitsuné grew frustrated, enraged - the only thing she could do in this situation was the one thing she couldn't, heal. " I need my chakra.. " She took a glance around, in an attempt to analyse the situation at hand, she had been told she was intelligent, teachers at the academy often praised her for it. But she never took notice, most of her life was put into weeping. Not complex battle strategies. Despite the burdens she suffered, she began to process. " Lets see..that Rain ninja, seems profficient enough at taijutsu. Like myself. Shiki has a few usable weapons, and she seems to work well under pressure. Both are uninjured. "

Her thoughts turned to the other, currently less capable ninja. " Kenji is severely wounded, he won't be doing much at this rate, even those blood pills won't be of use soon enough. The cloud shinobi looks like a goner, and that other ninja is dead meat. That leaves three of us.. " her eyes cringed at the given scenario, sweat drops pouring from her head, what could she do? Anything? " Now then, by all accounts. I have 1 explosive grenade, 2 explosive tags, 2 smoke grenades, 4 pills, 3 kunai and and this fan left. Thats enough to do us for the time being.. " Plucking noises were sounded, arrows clearly being seen - shot into the air. A terrific number, several dozen. Her head began to throb, her heart pounded, she had no ninjutsu - but taijutsu was always her speciality. Chakra enhanced strength or not - she was getting close, she was going to live. Not just for herself, but for Team Omoi!

" That won't work on me assholes! " two kunai were drawn, and out of cover she came, just a few metres ahead, so that arrows were more clearly seen. The rain descended, but it wasn't anything she could handle, she began to duck , swerve side to side, dodging the seemingly lethal array of attacks using the kunai in her hand to repel what her graceful movements could not. 10 arrows or so, she had escaped. And with minimal effort, she only hoped her teammates were as lucky. The two smoke grenades were needed now more than ever, the caps were lifted, and the two were hurled with all her might forwards, one would fall just where the bunch sat. The other, about 5 metres in front, escape was unlikely.

This was everyones chance to strike, her kunai were firmly gripped - she was ready. Kitsuné had set the pathway, she finally did something of use, this time - she took the lead. " EVERYONE, NOWS YOUR CHANCE! "

Kokoromanako (Mind's Eye)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: By fighting on and on, a user becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the user becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
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 User 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. 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 cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint
