Arckleburg Homes East

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: This thread is for Love, Nori, Takeshi, Kanae, Kankuro and Kaizu.))


The district that houses the market class of the town, the homes of which are made from sturdy wood and tiled ceilings. Situated atop a hill the road into the district is cobbled and sloping upwards. Many of these homes have already been looted, their doors and windows smashed inwards and the marks of battle scoring a few of the first houses in along the path.

Surrounding the district are thick woods and a thin river that is mostly used as a sewer for the homes.

Each of the homes are tightly packed, neither of them any more than ten meters apart from the road and two meters beside eachother.


The team for this thread will be entering from either the cobbled road going through the alleyways between the homes.

[Sato Daisuke]

Moving from the group he was with along the Amekage and the other's, Sato had arrived on a path that had taken him and his fellow ninja's to the destination of their assignment. As Sato had been separated from his curent group, he would wander into the nearby village of his assignment, and as he did so, Sato would skim the area looking at the scene that was around him, upon noticing the scene, he would detect a rather stature of a huge battle within this village, meaning they themselves were too late to help those in need, Sato wasn't morning their lost or anything, as long as it wasn't his young brother Ken'ichi, he was fine with his emotion's as he held a serious face.

Upon looking around, he saw many destroyed houses and such an being that of a Battle Strategist he could calculate within a matter of minutes as he could tell that the battle here was ruthless, Sato would then turn to see a shinobi himself far ahead of him 15 meter's away, was he an ally of Taki or not?

[/b] I said, my words harsh, but without the usual sardonic bite that they usually did. Deep down, I felt some empathy for these people as well. It was strength that allowed me to suppress it, and focus on the task at hand. Something this child seemed to lack.

At that moment my head snapped up as I sensed a presence; what I saw was a man, standing roughly fifteen meters away - I must have been pretty lost in the moment not to notice him beforehand - and instantly I tensed. Was this one of the town's assailants?

...No... I didn't think so. He seemed calm, a behaviour not typical for the kind of ruffians that performed these sorts of activities. Besides, from where I stood, he looked vaguely familiar. Was he one of the Amegakure shinobi from the trip? I hadn't really gotten a good look at any of them... Better safe than sorry.

"Hey, you. Are you with Amegakure? Answer me!" I yelled across the distance, fists half-raised in a guard.[/ul][/justify]

[kakuro]

Kakuro followed Nori from a distance. He watched as he fell on his knees. He looked as saw the damaged houses. He realized that they were too late. Kakuro then saw a unfamiliar face 15 meters away from Nori. He watched as another person he didn't know say something to Nori. He also yelled at the other person I didn't know.

Kakuro slowly walked next to the guy that was 15 meters away from Nori. He decided that if he was an enemy he would have attacked. "Hey, we came to help you out," Kakuro said. He decided that this guy lived here.

[Kanae]

Kanae followed Kakuro and looked around as they walked on the cobbled road. It looked like they were too late to help the people who lived in the houses around them. Nori seemed to be particularly distraught over the scene. Kanae was upset too, but somewhat calmer. There was nothing they could do to help these people now, but there were most likely others they could help.

She walked over to the group of other shinobi. Kanae recognized Kakuro and Nori, and was fairly certain that another ninja was from Takigakure as well. There was one person that she didn’t recognize, but before she could say anything, the Takigakure ninja whose name she didn’t know asked if the other person was from Amegakure. Keeping a close eye on her surroundings, Kanae quietly waited for the other person to answer.

((OOC: I apologize for the very late reply, i've recently been on holiday and i've just gotten back. I think it's fair to say that anyone who hasn't posted at this point has missed the IIC, so for now we'll skip them.))


As your party moves through the desolated ruins of the neighbourhood an almost oppressive sense of stillness would seem to descend. As curtains fluttered out of broken glass windows and creaking doors swung on their hinges the place would begin to seem more and more like a ghost town rather than a town that had, just that very morning, been a bustling and friendly place to be in.

Once your party steps fully within the neighbourhood however suddenly that silence would be violently averted. From the rooftops of the two nearest homes to your party suddenly the tiles would shatter apart as though an explosion was ripping through them out from within. As a gaping gash was formed in the top of the house gangsters, all dressed garishly in either shiny black or gayly coloured kimonos, would leap out with weapons in their hands.

Their faces grinning evilly as they saw the party that had formed around the crying ninja their minds would imagine easy prey. For this group three of them leapt down from the roof, covering the distance between the house and the ninja in a single bound and with longswords held above their head, ready to cleave once they finished their fall. To pick off any that had wandered too far from the group a pair of bow wielding hooligans emerged, one firing at a smartly dressed ninja (Sato) and another wearing a black cloak (Kakuro), firing a set of three arrows down on them, hoping to hit the ninja in either the head or shoulders.

((OOC: IIC limit has passed for Nori, it is now Loves turn to post. Nori may resume his place in the posting order the next time his turn comes around, if he misses that one though then he will be dropped from the mission. Sorry.))

Now turning to listen to the wind, Sato heard something that was vaguely off it would seem, but as so with just once quick wide eyed glance, Sato would turn toward the Takikagure male and said, "Be on your fe-!" Being cut off by the brute's that would launch from the house they were hiding in, Sato would quickly pull out a red thorn rose and said, "How pathetic, ambushing one from such an obvious area." Sato's thorn rose would stretch into that of a very long nine inch length whip as he would soon crack the whip at thr flick of the wrist, but firsr he would move it to the arrow's in the sky with such precised movement and grace. The whip was soon moving with a high speed of great control as it was pretty hard to see where the cutting edge was made as Sato was in a pretty fast motion with it. The three arrow's would tumble to the ground as Sato's Rose Whip would soon re-stretch itself back into that of a simple rose thorn. Sato would hold it close to his lip's as his left hand would be in his pocket. The flaming arrow's were seen broken in half on the floor and the men around him would be paused, not moving, Sato would stand awaiting for either them or him or even more arrow's to attack as he was prepared to handle even more.

SPOILER: Click to show

Dafuq? First its not required I post the ability of what I did just simply ask if you rather I do that.

Second, It's not Godmodding and not even that hard to notice what, "Lol, yeah I killrd a guy.." Haha no. I just didn't find it neccesary to make such big detail's of mere NPC's thst seemed E Class Status.

Third, I don't think how I move is not a "movement" just the technique, plus I don't even know nor never will know how that shit work's. :/

[kakuro]

Kakuro watched as a rooftop exploded. He could see that these people wanted him dead. Kakuro watched as the man destroyed the arrows. He watched as he killed the two archers with a rose. "I'm okay, and my name is Kakuro. He could see three people jumping from the roof to kill his friends. Kakuro quickly loaded his crossbow and aimed at the three people. Since he was a marksman and his enemies were only 15 meters away, he could hit them. Kakuro shot one of them in the neck.

He quickly reloaded his bow and shot his bolt into the next man's head. He watched as two of them fell to the ground dead. For the last enemy, Kakuro shot him in the arm. Now he had to drop the sword he was carrying. Then they could question him. He waited for the man he talked too to answer.

[Deleted]

{OOC: Aight aight settle the fuck down people, settle the fuck down.

There's a hell of a lot of Godmodding involved here, AND it was still my turn, Kakuro. I just hope you people realize, before I even post, which I will soon, that there's no guarantee that anything you people did worked, even besides the fact that I believe you've exceeded your movement capacity, Kakuro. But Love too I mean, you can't just say "Lol yeah I killed that guy, destroyed his arrows, game over"... That's Godmodding.

Imma post soon but, once again, don't be surprised if Zag flips that shit around. I know I would}

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

((OOC: I was just going to deal with it during my next GM post, but ah well.

love: Kaizu is right, to do what you described you'd have to write muuuuch more detail and justification for it to fly, as is though it doesn't really pass. Not to mention that you also didn't post the technique(s) you used in your post, so i don't know what you really did and even if i did you wouldn't have the techs shown to justify it. During my next post i was going to be lenient and just have you hit once in the shoulder meat.

If you want to rewrite your post you may do so within the next 24 hours. Make sure your characters actions are more realistic, like maybe just moving out of the way when you see someone about to fire an arrow at you, as well as make sure that you show the techniques you use.


kakuro: Since you're relatively new here i was going to give you some slack. Don't worry about your post, it's alright for now but just make sure you show your techniques next time as well as perhaps add a bit more detail to your characters perceptions of what's going on and their actions. How is your guy feeling about being under attack? Is he nervous? Excited? Also it's a bit presumptuous to simply say that your bolt hit the other guy in the head, he could still dodge it. It'd be better to write that you fired the bolt while aiming for his head.

Just little things but for now you're doing fine.


@kaizu: The guys new and since he is sort-of in a different combat than you are i'll let the posting order slip up slide. The IIC for your post now starts from when Kakuro posted, although for the sake of continuity could you do the GM a favour and not reference Loves actions if you post before he edits ^^; it'll make it that much more simpler for me when i do my next post.))

[Deleted]

{OOC: Aight gentlemen, then let it begin}

[/b] Just in case someone wasn't paying attention. I didn't think the crying child had moved yet, but that was inconsequential for the moment as I judged the arrow's path in a moment, sliding in front of the black-cloaked recipient at my side, holding my metal aegis in front of the bolts, hopefully deflecting them, then moving out of the way as my fellow shinobi went about firing back. He certainly seemed cool for the occasion.

My thoughts momentarily went to the as yet unidentified stranger I had addressed earlier, but there was no time to give him a glance. Until he attacked me or presented himself at my side, he was of little concern. I knew he was not a Takigakure Shinobi, else he would have arrived with us.

I looked up at the descending swordsmen with my shield still in my hand, moving forward to protect the still unmoving kid, growling at them fiercely as they fell. I would take these men on alone if necessary.[/ul]

SPOILER: Click to show

{OOC: I'm assuming these gangsters are like, D-rank or below. If not it doesn't really make much difference, but I thought I'd include Second Sense}

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
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

Bear Claw Block
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Blocks certain levels and types of attacks with the users shield.
Special: None
Drawback: Your shield will break if the attack is one rank higher than your skill in this technique. It is very good against TaiJutsu, but has some difficult with certain NinJutsu.
Description: With this training, the user becomes proficient in blocking TaiJutsu, and some NinJutsu attacks. They have learned how to position the shield to where it will act almost like a wedge, splitting the attacks and rendering many of them useless. It can only block those techniques that the shield can be put in front of, meaning techniques that affect a large area of effect, such as tidal waves are generally too large to block. You essentially turn yourself into a mini wall.
Limit: Bear Claw Stance

[Kanae]

Although the houses and streets appeared to be deserted, it wasn’t long before the people who were presumably responsible for the destruction showed up. They were cocky and arrogant, and obviously thought that the ninjas would be as easy to kill as the townspeople. Kanae was careful not to make the same mistake. These people might be rough, but she shouldn’t underestimate them.

Kanae quickly tore off 2 slots of explosive clay from her large clay pouch. She placed the clay in her mouth and began chewing on it. As she chewed, she sent small bursts of chakra into the clay. It would take 6 seconds before she could use the clay for any jutsus. In the meantime, Kanae removed her battle fan from her back and opened it.

All of her jutsus were long-range, so it would be best for her to stay behind the others. By this time the other ninjas, with the exception of Nori, had begun attacking. Kakuro was firing arrows and another guy was attacking with some kind of extendable vine thing. They didn’t seem to need any help, so Kanae turned her attention to the men wielding swords.

Kanae began channeling her chakra into her fan and adjusted her position so she wouldn’t hit any of her allies. Once she had gathered enough chakra, she forcefully brought the fan diagonally upwards. Kanae was aiming for the two swordsmen who were the furthest away from her. Kanae moved the fan back to the lower right side of her body, ready to attack again if she had missed or if other ninjas appeared.

"Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Allows the user to give a piece of clay explosive properties. Also determines the speed at which the user can produce a clay bomb(s). (See more below)
Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.
The clay bombs characteristics is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life).
The Amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)
Drawback: The user must load the piece of clay into a mouth begin to chew. Every clay creation requires a certain amount of clay slots and time to prepared. Certain bombs regardless of the users rank, will require additional time and perpetration (stated with the jutsu itself) (See more below)
Description: The user loads a piece of clay into there mouths (any mouth) and begins to command the mouth the chew at the piece of clay. What is truly occurring during this mastication process is that the user is injecting and infusing their chakra directly into the piece of clay. Due to the user's blood line trait, the relocation and concentration of their Tenketsu allows the user is able to pump and redirect a very large amount of chakra to there hands and into the piece of clay (more then humanly possible). The mouths of the user allow for rigorous chewing, ensuring that their chakra is evenly dispersed through out the piece of clay. Once the user feels that the piece of clay has been properly imbued with their chakra, the user commands the mouth to spit out the prepped piece of clay, allowing for the next stage in refinement to occur. (See "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)). If the user knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), they may only create up to D-ranked Bombs. If the user knows the C-ranked version of this technique, they may create only C-rank bombs and the D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-ranked is achieved (though some Bombs may state other wise).

Each Ranked Clay bomb requires a certain amount of time to be prepped. The users class and the bombs rank directly effects the amount of time the user will have to spend in preparation. The increased speed is due to the fact that as the user grows in strength and skill, thus so does his or her abilities to handle clay and produce clay bombs. This amount of time has been measured in post lengths:
Creation Times D-Class C-Class B-Class A-Class S-Class
D-Rank Techs 1 Post = 6 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
C-Rank Techs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
B-Rank Techs 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 Secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
A-Rank Techs XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs
S-Rank Techs XXX XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs

Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)

Futon: Bukisuraisu
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Using a weapon or ones hand, the user slash's the air creating a sickle shaped gust of wind mixed with chakra that speeds out cutting anything in its way before eventually dissapitating.
Special: ---
Drawback: Accuracy counts and as the gust keep moving, they can damage anything in the area.
Description: Not to be confused with Temari's Kamaitachi no Jutsu which requires a fan. The user gathers chakra to there hands or weapon and slash the air, diagonally in front of them with much force as a sickle shaped gust of wind blows out incredibly fast. It can cut down opponents, inflicting a moderate amount of damage and chop down trees. It has even been known to cut through rock when used with enough force. Can also repel weapons and even sound waves.
Limit: Must have Wind Release

((OOC: Sorry for the late post, i didn't notice that Kanae had posted ^^; Also you can consider these guys as C-rank taispecs.))


As the swordsmen closed in on the party of ninja, their blades glinting and their eyes lit up with bloodlust. They charged towards the cluster of shinobi. One Kunoichi, hailing from the village of Waterfalls (Kanae), would unless as scything wind that was aimed to cut into a pair of them. One gangster immediately fell before the jutsu, the one running behind him though realized the attack and dove down onto the ground, avoiding the wind scythe but halting his charge for the moment.

From the rooftops the bowmen rained down their arrows. One would strike its mark on the rain ninja as he let out an utterance in response to the assault, its bladed head being driven into the shinobis shoulder. As the ninja attempted to bat the arrows away with a rose stem his movements took him out of the path of the other arrows falling towards him. A nearby waterfall ninja would raise his crossbow and return fire at the assailants above them, his bolt crunching into the shoulder of one of the bowmen and causing the gangster to retreat back into the house.

The remaining bowmen would immediately turn his attention to the biggest looking ninja in the cluster. He'd fire a few arrows at the ninja but the warrior would bring their shield before them, causing one arrow to be stuck in the shields face and deflecting the others. A swordsmen would attempt to slash at the others but his blade would be driven away by the shield as well.


((OOC: love: Your technique doesn't mention anything about making the rose stronger or actually making it longer, next time you do have to post all the techniques you use. You've been hit in the shoulder meat, the opposite of whichever arm you used to wield the rose, you can decide which that is.

kakuro: You managed to hit one bowmen and cause them to hide in the house.

@kaizu: You sensed the attack and blocked the arrows shot at you. One of the swordsmen is locked against your shield.

Kanae: You managed to slice up one of the swordsmen but the other managed to dodge it.


There are currently still two bowmen up on the rooftop, although one is too wounded to fire an arrow and is hiding within the house, as well as two swordsmen still on the ground floor. One was driven prone by Kanaes attack but he'll be back on his feet in less than a second, he is about ten meters away from the cluster. The other swordsmen is infront of Kaizus character and is trying to stab him but is being blocked by his shield.))

After gaining a good view he would launch the arrow in his arm like a lancer causing the arrow to at least hit the man's middle back spine which would cause him to feel quite some pain in the back hopefully forcing him to lower his blade, but after helping the male Takikagure ninja, Sato would make his way toward the roof of where the Arrow Launcher's in the area behind him, "Hiding on top of houses?" Heading for the area as to where the arrow that hit him in the shoulder, which by the way was still bleeding out, came from the roof Sato would be making his way toward them, but if they were to launch arrow's at him he would simply jump out of the way taking cover elsewhere, but if not he would continue to make his way toward them and would perform a Shunshin causing him to Flash Step ten meter's upward into the air, but as he would be in the air he would use the rose that he had last time once more. Landing on top of the roof where the Archer's were Sato would quietly whip his left arm to the left side of him forcing the rose to stretch into that of a whip once more, but as it did so he would then turn toward the the Archer that was wounded in the shoulder from earlier and would deliver five slashes from the thorn rose quickly to his body and after doing so would make his way toward the other Archer who was well and healthy slashing with his whip right at his bow breaking it, Sato would not harm the Archer as he was now defenseless without a bow in his hand.

{OOC: You could've used your Weapon Proficiency there, Love. Would've made throwing the arrow more effective}

[/i] was the victim of the arrow, and thus he was almost certainly on my side and aiming his shot at my attacker. In case he missed I just took a tiny step back, letting the man push his sword further at me a second or so after he hit, hopefully widening his stance forward and giving the thrown arrow a larger area to hit.

After it had hit me and my friend's area, whether or not it had done damage to the gangster - for I doubted it would be enough to take him out - I would launch my counter-attack. I pushed my shield hard against his relatively spindly blade, hopefully pushing it away, him up out of his stance and opening him up for a second consecutive attack. My shield now extended out to my right, my left arm would be free, in the open and unhindered, and using my falling shield as a counterweight, I threw my whole body forward onto my left upper-torso and heaved my arm forward into the side of the guy's cranium, hopefully knocking him out instantly.

Assuming all this worked, I would raise my shield and take a step forward towards the second still-operating gangster.[/justify][/ul]

It can only block those techniques that the shield can be put in front of, meaning techniques that affect a large area of effect, such as tidal waves are generally too large to block. You essentially turn yourself into a mini wall.
Limit: Bear Claw Stance

Bear Claw Bump
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: After blocking a TaiJutsu attack, the user counters quickly, usually knocking the opponent back
Special: Must have blocked an attack with the Bear Claw Block
Drawback: Doesn’t work on anything but TaiJutsu attacks
Description: After blocking a close range TaiJutsu attack, the user is able to give a slight bump with their shield, causing some damage and knocking the opponent back 10 meters, giving them room for further defensive measures.
Limit: Must have at least D rank of Bear Claw Block

Deadly Blow
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Brawler is capable of striking an opponent with such strength, and such power to where a single punch is capable of knocking a man out, creating a concussion, or comma effect for the duration of the battle.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: A technique where the user hits the opponent with such force that they deliver a punch with enough force, and enough precision in subdual damage to where the opponent is knocked out unconscious with a single blow. The opponent stays down for a number of rounds before they are slowly brought out of their unconscious state. When using this technique the user sacrifices the knowledge of a Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist) technique. Depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent the Deadly Blow lasts for only so long within an amount of rounds.

* D Class - The Opponent is stunned for Two rounds
* C Class - The Opponent is stunned for Three rounds
* B Class - The Opponent is stunned for Four rounds
* A Class - The Opponent is stunned for Five rounds
* S Class - The Opponent is stunned for Six rounds


If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher then the reduction goes up by one. After three classes or more then the technique is uncapable of working against the opponent.
Limit: Must know Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist)[/quote]

[kakuro]

Kakuro watched as the man used a rose to defeat the men. He started running toward the house to check on the enemies. He stuck his hand in his clay pouch. He wanted to make sure that the archers couldn't escape. Kakuro wanted to ask the archers why they attacked him. He took two slots of clay from his pouch.

He placed on slot in his hand mouth and the other in his real mouth. He commanded his mouth to chew and infuse chakra into the clay. It would take 6 seconds for him to infuse the clay. He probably wouldn't need to use it. But it was better safe than sorry.

"Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion)
Rank: D, C, B, A, S ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, supplementary.
Effect: Allows the user to give a piece of clay explosive properties. Also determines the speed at which the user can produce a clay bomb(s). (See more below)
Special: Please refer to “Katsu”.
The clay bombs characteristics is directly dependent of the user rank of "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life).
The Amount of bombs; the amount of clay slots used to make a bomb; the size of the clay bomb; the maximum distance in which a clay creature may travel; and the amount of hands required to make a bomb will be stated within the bomb itself. (See more below)
Drawback: The user must load the piece of clay into a mouth begin to chew. Every clay creation requires a certain amount of clay slots and time to prepared. Certain bombs regardless of the users rank, will require additional time and perpetration (stated with the jutsu itself) (See more below)
Description: The user loads a piece of clay into there mouths (any mouth) and begins to command the mouth the chew at the piece of clay. What is truly occurring during this mastication process is that the user is injecting and infusing their chakra directly into the piece of clay. Due to the user's blood line trait, the relocation and concentration of their Tenketsu allows the user is able to pump and redirect a very large amount of chakra to there hands and into the piece of clay (more then humanly possible). The mouths of the user allow for rigorous chewing, ensuring that their chakra is evenly dispersed through out the piece of clay. Once the user feels that the piece of clay has been properly imbued with their chakra, the user commands the mouth to spit out the prepped piece of clay, allowing for the next stage in refinement to occur. (See "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)). If the user knows the D-ranked version of "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion), they may only create up to D-ranked Bombs. If the user knows the C-ranked version of this technique, they may create only C-rank bombs and the D-ranked bombs before that; and so on and so forth until S-ranked is achieved (though some Bombs may state other wise).

Each Ranked Clay bomb requires a certain amount of time to be prepped. The users class and the bombs rank directly effects the amount of time the user will have to spend in preparation. The increased speed is due to the fact that as the user grows in strength and skill, thus so does his or her abilities to handle clay and produce clay bombs. This amount of time has been measured in post lengths:
Creation Times D-Class C-Class B-Class A-Class S-Class
D-Rank Techs 1 Post = 6 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
C-Rank Techs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1 Post = 6 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
B-Rank Techs 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 Secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs 1/2 Post = 3 Secs
A-Rank Techs XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs 1 Post = 6 secs
S-Rank Techs XXX XXX 3 Post = 18 secs 2 Post = 12 secs 1 1/2 Post = 9 Secs

Limit: Sankuchi blood line. Must be learned Multiple time as the user cannot gain A rank without first knowing D, C and B ranks. Must know "Kuchisaki Seichuu" (Mouth Control)

[Kanae]

As two of her allies engaged the closest swordsman, Kanae shifted her fan to her right hand. Kanae removed the piece of clay she had been chewing from her mouth and turned her attention to the two men she had attacked. Kanae had been able to hit one of them, but the other one had managed to avoid her attack. Kanae knew it wouldn’t be long before he recovered and resumed his attack.

Working quickly, Kanae used her left hand to mold two 2 inch birds. To save time, Kanae only added minimal details to her clay creatures. As soon as she was finished, Kanae threw the clay birds towards the swordsman she had missed and performed the Katsu handseal with her left hand. The birds instantly came to life and grew to a size of four inches.

Kanae sent the first bird directly towards the swordsman she had missed. She had the second bird fly towards a spot above the swordsman’s head and out of his reach. For her jutsu to work, Kanae only needed to get the birds close to the man. Kanae kept a close eye on the man so she could maneuver the birds out of harm’s way if he attempted to attack them.

If either of the birds were able to reach their destination safely, Kanae would perform the Katsu handseal once again. This time, both birds would explode simultaneously. It wouldn’t be a large explosion or cause very much damage. Kanae was hoping to distract the swordsman long enough so she could successfully hit him with Futon: Bukisuraisu. Kanae would perform Futon: Bukisuraisu with the fan in her right hand as soon as the birds exploded or were destroyed.

It can cut down opponents, inflicting a moderate amount of damage and chop down trees. It has even been known to cut through rock when used with enough force. Can also repel weapons and even sound waves.
Limit: Must have Wind Release

[The Irredeemable ZaG]

The swordsmen that was locked against the gladiators shield recoiled and cried out as his back was struck by something. An arrow, not thrown hard enough to fully embed itself in him yet just enough to stab into the mans back and cause him to lose his focus, one of his hands immediately leaving the handle of his blade to reach back behind him and try to remove the painful projectile. This lose of focus would prove fatal though as the shinobi he was dueling would shove the gangster back using the wide berth of his shield. The gangster would tumble back, tripping over his own feet and his face stricken with horror as he couldn't bring his blade up in time to guard against the ninjas falling blow. A loud thwack and a spurt of blood emanated from the gangsters brow and he would collapse backwards, his own body weight driving the arrow further into his body and with a twinge of pain pierce his organs. Dazily the gangster would look up at the rooftop where the bowmen were stationed 'Why'd you shoot me, bro?' he'd mutter before falling into comatose.

The second swordsmen would roll away when he saw the kunoichi throw a pair of strange projectiles at him, whatever they were they couldn't be good. He'd manage to roll about five meters to the right by the time the pair of birds exploded. His body was thrown another few meters across the ground, violently spinning across the cobbled ground. The force from the blast and physical damage from the explosion and from being thrown across the ground had knocked out the bandit, his bruised, broken and slightly burned body forming a heap on the ground.

The able bodied bowmen would attempt to hit the warrior once more, his attention now drawn at finishing off another member of his gang. As the archer fired an arrow at the gladiators torso, hoping for a heart shot, he couldn't help but smile, the less that survive means the more bounty for him.

His misplaced attention would appear critical however, as suddenly the ninja he had hit earlier would leap up onto the rooftop and begin scourging his wounded brethren with a thorny lash. The gangster would wail in pain from the assault, covering himself with his rapidly bloodied arms. The stunning appearance of the ninja caught them both off guard just long enough for him to also wrap his whip around the remaining archers bow and tear it out from his hands.

The pair of gangsters snarled at the shinobi. The archer reached into his kimono, drew out a long dagger and then charged at his assailant, stabbing out with the blade in the hopes of skewering the mans chest. His wounded brother would also stoop down to the broken rooftop and pick up a bit of loose timber with his least ruined arm. The wounded bandit would then also let out a shout of anger and charge at the ninja, wielding his block of wood like a cudgel and trying to whack the shinobi across the head with it.


((OOC: One swordsmen has been fatally wounded and knocked out while the other has suffered many bone fractures and also knocked out.

The wounded gangster now has just one arm able to fight with and is in very poor shape to fight. He he attempting to attack Sato with a block of wood.

The archer has lost his bow and is attempting to stab Sato with his knife.))
