[E] Keigo Starrk - 5

[Tieren]

Before lies a rather small, dark, and dank passageway. The size seems just big enough to walk through, as well as any companions without causing anyone to squish. Even the one with the large machine would find it just big enough for it to get through without scraping along the walls. It was as though each one was designed specifically for each person. Could this be what the person who registered all for the exam was typing in the entire time?

As the passage continued to be navigated, the lights barely lighting up the walls, floor, and ceiling, a voice would finally ring out through the area, one that was rather familiar. It was the registrar, and apparent proctor of the exams.

”Greetings to you all for participating in the exams. For passing through your doorways, you have chosen to partake in this years Chuunin Examinations. Before the exams truly begin, I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.”

”Now then. As stated before, for these exams, you will be working alone, or with whichever animal or mechanical companion you brought with you. Each of you will be watched every step of the way. In a few moments, you'll step into a larger room where you will see a few things that we will be giving you for these exams.”

After those words were said, that room started to light up before each individual. It wasn't incredibly large, but gave a bit more breathing room unlike the previous passage. In the center of the room was a table. On it held a circular disk, a black box, and a small earpiece.

”Before you lies three things. A earpiece, that will help deliver special instructions. Anything you hear over the intercom is being broadcast to all areas. But anything that pertains directly to you will be played through the earpiece. If you choose not to wear it, be cautious, for you won't hear any special instructions that could cause you to fail the exams. The disk is something you eat should you feel the exams are too much. Your testing will end and you will immediately be ejected from the testing area to go back home. The black box is a room reset. It is a one time use. If you feel that you have come across something you cannot handle, throw the box at the ground and everything else in the room will disappear. But as I said, it is a one time use. If you use it on one thing, you may find yourself against a more difficult test later on.”

A few moments of silence passed before the words started up again, as though giving the participants a chance to collect the items and place them where they want them.

”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.”

And with that, a light appeared at the end of the room, allowing each person to go through and begin their personalized experience.

[OOC: As stated in the post, each thread will be different. If you are S rank, you'll fight harder enemies than one who just got the 500 TP needed for the exams. So each examiner will be doing things differently. The name of each thread lists who will be in it, and the number is who your examiner is. There is no IIC for these threads. You can take as long as you need to when making a post as I want you all to think about it and work on the best possible post that you can. The examiners have a 3 day IIC. If the examiner has not posted in that time, PM me and I'll be sure to get another examiner to post. I will also make a note if an examiner has PMed me to tell me that they will be gone for a short period of time. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me or your examiner. Let the exams begin!]

[hayate]

The door he’d walked through led into a very dark tunnel that was about as tall as he was. The sound of metal scrapping against the wall would be heard by anything in the tunnel as his metal hand scrapped against it. The same announcer re-welcomed them to the exams. I have an announcement to make. Three participants did not meet the deadline. Asami Lei-Fong and Sasayaki Hateke of Leaf as well as Kaoru Takeuchi of Waterfall did not make it to their doors in time. As such, they have been disqualified, leaving the number of participants at Twenty Four.” A smile turned into a laugh he couldn’t help but laugh, ”Rookie mistakes.” They’d failed before they even began.

The man went on to explain other already known information. Keigo was checking on the durability of his body as he listened. He’d strengthened it to its strongest and felt he was ready for whatever animal or thing would come to fight him. As he walked down the hall he was stretching and making himself mentally calm as he approached the table. Picking up the ear piece he placed it in his right ear. The disk and box were placed in opposite pockets, the box was on the right. Then the exams got a bit more interesting. ”Each of these exams is catered to the individual. We have obtained records of your abilities and your previous missions from your village. In the process, we have been able to formulate each exam to each person. The stronger you are, the harder it could end up being. So no two tests will be the same. We wish you the best of luck, and we hope to see you at the end of the exams.” Catered to the individual, he grinned ”Good luck Rarilue.” He had no idea what he’d face but it would be something completely different.

As he walked towards the the light at the end of the room the chakra he’d gathered allowed a transformation. His left arm turned into a round shield five feet in diameter and his right arm turned into a short sword. If the area he’d started in continued to stay small this weaponry would best suit him. Whatever waited ahead he hoped to be ready. Keigo approached the exam head on to see what awaited.

Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form.
Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body.
Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form.
Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability.
Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability.
Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank.

Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class.
Special: ---
Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties.
Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body.
Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada.

Bukitai: Ken soshite Toku (Weapon Form: Sword and Shield) [60]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to transform part, or parts, of his or herself into a sword akin to "Bukitai: Ken" and a shield akin to "Bukitai: Toku".
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The user's sword and shield cannot extend the creative capability of the two previously mentioned techniques. The user's transformation strength is dependent upon their rank of Koutetsu no Karada, Koutetsu Katansei, and Koutetsu Seigo.
Description: This technique is considered to be on the fourth and most powerful tiers of regular Bukitai techniques. Splitting his concentration, the user will be capable of creating both a sword and shield for the user to fight. This technique can be modified to any third tier or under Bukitai technique for weaponry, such as an Axe or Drill. These transformations together count as a 'large' transformation.
Limit: Must have Bukitai: Ken and Bukitai: Toku.

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

Unbeknownst to the man, as he attempted to turn his entire body into the strongest steel he could, it would not change. He would be under the impression that everything had gone the way it was suppose to, he would believe he had use the energy to alter his body, feel as if it had as well. Yet for the time being, he would be going through the Chuunin Exams as all the others were, as a squishy mortal. This would mysteriously have no effect on the weapons produced from his body, they would continue to possess the same durability as normal, it was just his natural body that would not receive the protection.

As the man walked ahead and to the next room, a twenty meter by twenty meter by twenty meter area, the only space not sand being the one meter of tiled floor at the entrance and exit doorways. The exit door on the other side, as well as all four walls, were an incredibly durable stone. One could unleash strikes capable of destroying entire countries within this room and those walls and that door would still not give way. In the center of the room was what seemed to be a woman, her skin a greenish tone, hair a fiery red, and outfit revealing quite a lot of skin. Yet she lay on the sands, motionless, the faint sound of snoring filled the room.

Getting to the door would be simple, yet it would be locked if Keigo tried to open it.

[hayate]

As Keigo walked into the next room his right foot landed on sand and he paused looking around the room. His left leg was on the only square of not sand as he waited for any sort of timed trap or something terrible to happen. Keigo waited a minute but during that minute he scanned over the entire room. Besides the sand and well, the practically nude green chick in the middle of the room it was empty. A room at the other end but who was this…plant girl?

Keigo approached her curious, he’d seen plenty of different bloodlines his included that were strange. This was unlike something he’d seen however. If she stayed asleep he’d get within arms reach of h er and press the cold flat end of his blade against her arm. He hoped to wake her, ”Sorry to wake you up but I think I need your help.” Keigo could only think of two reasons why such a girl dressed as such would be here. Either they were going to fight or have awesome sex she was to help him get further in the exams. Whatever the reason his shield was steadied and ready.

Boxers Mentality [10][10]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer 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 Boxer 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 in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

The woman paid no mind to the blade up against her arm, instead she pushed against the flat of it while turning over in her sleep. The feeling of metal against her skin did not even seem to have woken the woman up. Should she be able to shift in her sleep the woman would be lying on her back rather than her side, left hand against her stomach with the right off to the side. There was one thing she muttered in her sleep, though, "Breasts.... key...."

[hayate]

An eyebrow raised when the cold steel pressed against the woman's skin and yet there was no reaction. Infact rather than waking the girl she turned over onto her back. A slight tint of red appeared on his face but then it got more interesting. Sleeptalk was a strange thing "Breasts....key...."

Keigo pulled his eyes from the girl to look at the door across the hall. He hadn't even checked to see if it was unlocked, what a simple mistake he thought. Yet now that he knew of the key it didn't seem so important. It was certainly... in a strange area but Keigo was ready to do what must be done. Keigo's right hand transformed back into his regular hand but the shield he held stayed.

In the back of his mind he remembered something Kyo had said. He would be watching, would he be watching this? Kneeling down on the right side of the strange girl his right hand reached out cupping her right breast searching for a key. Where would a key hide in a woman's breasts? A smile reached his face feeling the softness of her chest. If she somehow didn't awake he'd move his right hand over to her left also looking for a key. He also truly hoped this wasn’t a trick he readied his shield but something about this was too good to be true yet it was happening.

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

Cupping the woman's breast would not awaken her or trigger anything, yet when he began to search the A Class woman's body would act. The sands that made up her form would cling to his fingers and work to pull his hand and wrist in while sand from her body moved up it as well to keep him in place for the time being, very nearly crushing his hand in the process and likely causing some pain. When that was done sand from the environment would also be moving to surround him and bind him in a coffin of the desert. "You men are so easy to manipulate, such a fascination with a woman's breasts."

She was prepared for him to retaliate, her Shield of Sand had been activated for the entire time that he had been in the room and would react to any attack made by him. She could not help but give a great sigh at the whole situation, a job's limitations could be so bothersome.

Drawback: Depending on the user's rank depends on the strength and speed of the technique.
Description: The shield is capable of withstanding considerably strong attacks and projectiles, and can be hardened to a point where it's stronger than many creations. The shield is so strong that it has earned the name "Absolute Defense" (絶対防御, Zettai Bōgyo). The sand will react regardless of the user's will, even protecting them from self-inflicted injuries. User may also completely surround them in the shield to further increase the defensive capabilities. Strength and Speed of Technique depends on the rank of the Technique.

"A" Rank - Capable of stopping 10 movements. Capable of stopping "B" Rank techniques.
"S" Rank - Capable of stopping 12 movements. Capable of stopping "A" Rank techniques.

They cover the opponent’s entire body in some manner with their bodily sand in a quick fashion, trapping them within. Using chakra, and force, the user crushes the opponent inside himself or herself, consuming a large amount of chakra ("A" Rank) and killing the enemy instantly. Certain actions may wipe the target clean of the Sadojin's sand however. For example, a well placed Fuuton jutsu, or something as simple as stopping dropping and rolling away (Rolling back and forth would only help the Sadojin kill them faster).
Limit: Karada Souran "B" Rank.

Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin)
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Chakra controls sand so that it surrounds the opponent or parts of his body, capturing them completely in sand. Only the face is spared to allow breathing.

When the user does this, the user has the power to instantly destroy the opponent if feels necessary. The technique is so precise that the opponent feels virtually no pain when the technique is done. What occurs is that the sand constricts and tightens around the opponent so fast that it quickly passes right through the opponent somewhat making the opponent explode, but literally just being crushed to a new extreme melding within the sand that kills the opponent.
Special: Raise hand upwards towards the opponent to grab, close fist to kill opponent.
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique that can be used against any part of the human body whether it is the whole body or perhaps just a body part. A technique where sand wraps around the opponent and is used to destroy the opponent's ligaments or even the whole body.
Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know Suna Futoiude no Jutsu, Must know Sand Control D

[hayate]

Strangely textured was the idea in his head as his right hand explored her body. When he watched her body come to life his eyes widened before he knew what happened he was “tit deep”. The sand wrapping around his wrist began to crush around his hand which surprised him he was supposed to have a very durable body, something was wrong. Luckily for him he did not need hands to transform his own body simply concentrate ones energy. With the pain the sand was creating, he had to act fast as the sand around the room was also moving. ”You men are so easy to manipulate, such a fascination with a woman’s breasts.” A grin formed on his face as his arm transformed into a thing but strong fencing sword. The thin sword would not be something the sand would easily grip. This should allow Keigo to pull the sword from within her sand body and escape before the woman’s sand could trap him completely. He had to be careful or the sand could quickly consume him. Once he’d freed himself from her body he stood about two feet from her

There was a problem and he had unanswered questions. ”You shouldn’t be able to crush my body so easily. What trick is this what did you do? There’s always a catch when tits are involved.” Part of him truly wanted to know but the other half of him was stalling for time. The time he needed was short but crucial because his right sword arm would transform again this time into a great drill that spanned the length of his forearm stopping at the elbow. The drill arm began to spin as well taking a careful step near the woman. His shield stayed steadied looking for further sand attacks. Keigo watched the sand around the room he was ready to react but from what had already happened it seemed her body could absorb his body and most likely his attacks as well. ”So is crushing people’s hands how you greet?” Keigo had the thought in his mind that there was an off chance they didn’t have to try to kill each other. If they were to fight he’d need to find her weak point.

Suddenly, above everything, a voice rang out, no matter where each participant was. It was the person who was in the main room and registered them for the exams.

"Attention, Participants. Hanabi of Mist committed suicide and has since been removed from the exams. Katsu Kazeraikou of Cloud has used his disk to remove himself from the exams. That is all."

And with that, silence came from over the intercom. It was clear that he made a point to let everyone know how the others were doing.

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

The Seitetsu was more clever than he made out to be originally, in order to escape her clutching sand the man made a sudden change to his arm. The hand changed shape quickly, becoming a thin fencing sword faster than her sand body could keep hold of him. It was a cunning escape method, he even managed to move away from her sands in time. It was no matter, though, she had control over all the sand in this room, and the Genin was stalling for time. While he was questioning her she formed a series of hand seals, falcons of sand being formed, fifty of them in total.

Twenty five were facing him, ten on either side, and five behind him. They were all simply staying in place for the time being while they had a friendly exchange of words. "The files say you rely too heavily on your steel skin, so you're going to go through the exams without it. I just wanted to hold you in place while I gave you a fairly minor wound." A green hand ran through her hair and a sound of annoyance came from her, "I'm not allowed to kill you, but if I just let you through unscathed then it's going to bug me. Mind just standing still while I cut you once?"

Limit: Sand Release, uses two meters of sand per five falcons. Must know Sand Control.

[hayate]

Keigo’s escape worked as he hoped but during his time of stalling the woman stayed busy. Quickly he’d been surrounded by what seemed to be sand birds. Surely this is why the room was filled with sand, she could control it at will and it certainly put him at a disadvantage. The questions he asked would have answers but they would not bring much ease to his situation. There was not even a reason to argue what she said was true, if not for the skills he possessed that fight would have been his last. Perhaps there was a greater meaning to these exams that he’d just began to perceive.

Besides the woman being made of sand she was unlike any other he’d met before…peculiar when she spoke, "I'm not allowed to kill you, but if I just let you through unscathed then it's going to bug me. Mind just standing still while I cut you once?" His moment of pause was to see her next course of action, from the way he saw it there were two choices. Either he was going to have to take her down and deal with all of this fucking sand. Or he could take a single cut, his body could handle a minor wound he was certain. ”One cut. Then you get me out of this room.” What reason did he have to believe her? She claimed not allowed to kill him but that did not stop her from severely disabling him. He believed in his ability to fight if the need arose but not every situation needed to be a battle. Keigo narrowed his eyes staring down the sand woman, he had to be cautious but at the same time he braced himself for the incoming attack he would willingly endure.

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

OOC: Sorry about the delay, very busy week.

IC:

She was a bit surprised by his agreement to be wounded so easily, a bit suspicious of it as well in fact. Narrowing her eyes the woman reached into the sand and pulled out a knife from the sand. "Return your arms to normal and we'll get this over with." Trust was never the wisest of things, and she did not trust him to remain passive while being cut. If he would do as requested she would move closer until within range and slash him across the chest with her blade. It would not be an incredibly deep or life threatening wound, but it would bleed quite a bit if he did not move away from it.

It seemed his reaction had surprised the woman of sand. Keigo’s eyes watched the knife as she asked him to return his body to normal. To remove his only protection was something he wasn’t quite so comfortable with but he had a plan. First his right arm transformed back and reached into his pocket gripping the little black box. Then his left arm transformed back as well. Keigo wanted to see where she hoped to attack him. When the sand woman moved in range his eyes watched carefully but the strike was somewhere he could not allow. As she swiped towards his chest Keigo would take a quick two steps backwards to avoid the attack. To take a blow to his chest would bring about far too much blood. His right hand came out of his pocket with the black box in hand. ”You just couldn’t give me a small cut huh? Sorry to do this babe.” Keigo threw the black box at the floor which was supposed to get rid of everything within. What would be waiting for him now that he’d used his one-time box?

[Tieren]

Suddenly, a flash of blinding light would appear out of nowhere. A female, computerized voice would sound through the room. "Warning... Room rewind and reset. New environment to appear in 3.... 2.... 1....". With that, the wound that he had been given would disappear, as if it never existed, the box gone as well, and a brand new room, in no way similar to the previous would start to form. The one-time box was used, now all Keigo could do is face the future challenges, or forfeit the exams.

[Next post is the examiners post, describing the new environment.]

[Chuunin Examiner 5]

As the room was being reset everything disappeared at once, leaving behind what seemed to be a digital grid. The room rewound and a new landscape began to appear, it was another elementally based room, only this time he was in a bog rather than atop sand. The water would reach up to Keigo's mid shin with no land within sight. It was another room of the exact same size as before, the walls the same material as before, yet the person within the room was different. Instead of a woman who seemed to be asleep it was a tall man, probably around seven feet tall, wielding a naginata and fifteen meters away from the Seitetsu, who was at the entrance area once again. "So, you are Keigo Starrk. Defend yourself."

[hayate]

The flash of light startled Keigo was the room changed…everything changed. The sand changed to water that he found his feet submersed within. A frown formed on his face, water and Keigo weren’t always on the best terms. A large man appeared as well giving a warning or possibly a threat. Either way he would defeat the man before him but with all the water he’d have to be careful. However everything could have its advantages including the range between them. Keigo’s rapidly formed handseals as twenty five knives began to form upon his upper body. When his seals concluded the twenty five knives embedded in his flesh shot out in a large circle formation towards the mysterious man. ”Who are you mysterious swordsman?”

Keigo was an odd person who took pride in knowing who he was fighting. If this man would not indulge with an answer he’d have no choice than to cut him down swiftly. With his weaponry hurling towards his opponent Keigo began transforming his body once more. As he had fought against the sand woman his left arm transformed into a medium sized square shield five feet of size all around. Keigo’s right arm transformed into a spear the length went from his elbow to his hand with a pointed tip. The way he stood almost resembled a boxing stance with his shield forward and the spear pointed at the swordsman. Keigo stood ready to see how his opponent would react to his first attack.

The polearm wielder frowned slightly as the knives were fired, they were shot in a large circle formation towards him. It was a very simple to avoid with the formation the way it was, and seemed to be a trap. Still, he would indulge the man and hopped, pulling his knees up slightly and lowering his head, eyes never leaving the target. The twenty five blades passed around him and he spoke in response to the question of his identity, "I am not a swordsman, had you used your eyes you would see no such weapon on my person. It is hard to believe that one who cannot even distinguish a Naginata from a sword is proficient in the Seitetsu arts."

No hint to his identity, and instead the moment his feet touched the water he charged forward to cover the thirteen meters separating them. His gaze was even, not faltering at the sight of the spear and shield combination or the stance the man took. Quickly the polearm fighter made three slashes within the span of a single move. The first strike would go from the top of Starrk's head down to cleave him in two. The Second strike was aimed to start as his right shoulder and go down at an angle to his left hip. The third and final blow would move from his left shoulder down at an angle to the right hip of the Genin.

The primary focus of his strike was aimed to test the shield, as any ordinary weapon or shield would be cut apart but such a strike, but flesh and bone would still be cleaved if he did not defend himself properly.

The circle of his knives seemed to be a trap but they were not. Keigo’s eyes however were locked on the man watching for the way he reacted to a simple attack. In fact his opponents eyes never left him as well that could work. As the knives passed over him Keigo began to act. ”I am not a swordsman,” Keigo wasn’t going to let this man lecture him before his sentence even finished he was in motion. Keigo dashed forward eight meters towards the man only seven meters separating them. ”I am more than a seitetsu!” Keigo didn’t plan to stay still for very long. Once more he would dash but in an angle aimed to pass the right side of the man. His course would take him past the right side of the man to seem he was going to be a foot behind him. From there his dash would change direction towards the left to put himself now behind the man but on his left side.

Now behind the man Keigo knew his actions needed to stay quick. Light on his feet Keigo moved in his right spear hand jabbed out swiftly first towards the man’s head, as his hand returned to him a second jab would release. This jab however was aimed at the center of the man’s back. All in the same motion a third jab was aimed towards the back of the man’s neck. If successful he would have impaled the man in three separate places. In boxing the man who dictated the pace could likely win the fight.

That stop was all the man needed, the man shouted something as well, as if driven by pride. The man claimed to be more than a Seitetsu and as the Naginata wielder lifted his Zeriouja into the air a small laugh left his mouth. It was at that moment that the second use of dash would send the man behind him, and that would be his mistake. As light on his feet the Seitetsu may be, he had his se expelled from the hield left arm away from the man and their close proximity would make it difficult to react in time. Bringing the blade down onto nothing a jelly like goop would be expelled from it.

This goo would not simply go straight though, ranging at ten meters tall and able to travel twenty meters, the goo as expelled twenty meters in all directions. This was his Medusa's Surge, defending at this close proximity without knowing what was about to happen would be difficult. It was a wonder if Keigo could pull it off, and if his jabs still came into play, they would pierce his body but hit nothing. Instead of blood leaking from his wounds, all there would be was jelly oozing out.

Medusa Surge
Rank: B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: sends the goo out in an attack attempting to encase the enemy
Special: none
Drawback: can easily hit friendly people, and can cause some decent collateral damage when not careful.
Description: Using the Zeriouja the wielder makes a slashing motion (usually a downward one) to send the goop at the enemy. At B rank it moves in a straight line. The line can extend an amount of 20 meters while still staying about 10 meters tall and 3 meters wide, but only moves in a straight line. The goop moves fairly fast, but due to its inability to be turned it is fairly easy to avoid when noticed. When you know the A rank version, you are able to send out a much wider wave of the goop. This waves dimensions are still 10 meters tall, but it now reaches a width of 15 meters, while still covering a length of 20 meters. Again, this technique can only move in a straight line. Finally the S ranked version is bigger still. It once again can reach 20 meters away, and is 10 meters tall, but this time the width is a full 360 degree area around the user. Meaning it expands out in every direction. This is a ninjutsu because of the extreme emphasis on chakra control and output. You are essentially using the weapon in a fire hose fashion, and then having the substance harden around the enemy. When hardened which is almost instantaneous it is as strong as your strongest transitional membrane. Someone could probably survive within the goo for one post before the weight of it crushes them or they will suffocate from lack of oxygen in 3 post (adjust post count to add in if the person has some sort of technique to add time to the length they can hold their breath).
Limit: Must have Zeriouja, C rank Excretion and at least the first C rank of Transfiguration.
