Kusa no Kuni, the land of Grass.

It had been so long since the Lady Amekage had travelled through the land of Grass. The sun from above was overpowering, and the chirping of birds was like a sweet and gentle music to paint the landscape. The grass through which she was stepping was growing slightly larger than her knees, and the green cape that it cast over the terrain stretched as far as she could see in every direction, until a forest swallowed it up several hundred meters to the south. Adorning the terrain, aside from grass, was a small creek snaking its way through the green cape. Likewise scattered were several smaller trees, and in the middle of this landscape, fifty meters south from her person, was an abandonned building. The stone wall hadn't seen care in so many years, that the stone itself seemed readily capable of falling apart like specks of dust. It was a simple one story building with only three rooms. It was mostly filled with dust, and had an odd smell of abandonment.

The Lady Amekage herself was wearing the blue silken robes with her title on the back. Ninth Amekage. Most of the symbols were hard to see however, as a massive gourd was attached to her shoulders, tightened to her back, filled to the brim with sand. Across her waist, she had a belt, with two Katana's attached, alongside several different types of grenades. Hanging on her butt, was a buttbag with several kind of utility pills and herbs, should the need for such arise.

So far, the travels were going fine, and she hadn't met much hostility despite travelling through several ninja nations on her lonesome. 

[Aimi Kaguya]

Hot was the day which found Aimi training in his usual field of grass, just like most other days before it. The thing about jungle-like environments were that they were always either very hot or very wet, very seldom were the in between these two extremes and more of then than not, they were a mix of the two. Never the less, the kusa shinobi had long grown used to the conditions and even adapted to them in a way. Today he was wearing his usual attire - a long sleeved white shirt which was now partially drenched in sweat from the afternoon sun, a pair of jeans with a white belt holding them up, and his standard travel wrappings around his feet. His jacket was draped over one of his swords which was currently sheathed in the vastly empty sword case that he was always saving up to buy another katana for... too bad he had to do things like eat or else it might have been full by now! On his left hip was one of his swords, sheathed and hanging limp. On his right hip was his buttbag, filled with various tools that he took with him wherever he went like shuriken and paper bombs. On his right thigh was also his knife holster with two kunai in it. His left thigh had his headband tied to it, identifying him as a shinobi of the Kusagakure.

Aimi stood in the field in a sort of meditative stance. His legs were wide and his arms were out in front of him, palms flat, the left facing directly in front of him while the right was facing the ground. He stood almost perfectly still. He wasn't there in a sense; he was more inside of his own head, psyching himself out and imagining battles that hadn't happened yet or may never happen, to strengthen his mind for what was to be his latest gate. When the wend blew, he moved his body with it so as to try and immerse himself in his environment and to further clear his mind. Subsequently, he didn't notice the oncoming traveler until the were about a hundred meters away and when he did, it was through his fingers.

At first, he thought that they might be a figment of his imagination... but the sheer detail and color of their clothing shattered that illusion. The were real alright... and they were someone he didn't recognize. Standing up straight, Aimi looked out towards his stranger with mute curiosity and apprehension, wondering if they were just someone passing through or if they happened to be someone more... sinister...

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

Stopping in her tracks, she could see someone in the distance. Narrowing her eyes suspiciously, she soon found out just what she was dealing with. From the attire itself, it would've been hard to identify the stranger as a shinobi, but just above the grassline, she could see a headband tightened around the strangers thigh. This was a shinobi of Kusagakure. Biting her lip, she wasn't sure what the chances of meeting one of these out here would be. Perhaps one in a hundred travels. Despite the low odds, it was exactly what had happened. In the past, the Lady Amekage had had several dealings with the inhabitants of Kusa. Firstly, one of their old Kage had perished by her hands. A violent and bloodthirsty Kage that had seen her competence at the Chuunin exams, and decided that she belonged in his village. Naturally, his asessment of her strenght had been correct, as he soon met his end at her hands...

...Then there was a girl. While travelling, years ago, a young female had challenged her to a fight. Rather weary, due to the fact of the Kage's demise, Yoshi had chosen to flee the scene rather than stand her ground. Now the situation seemed to repeat itself.. Except, she had no intention of running this time. Clapping her hands together, the girl threw herself down onto her stomach in the tall grass, folding a series of seals while completely hidden from sight. Additionally, she was reaching into her bags to fidget around with her items. Though, it wasn't only one technique that was finished. Trickery was abound...

..Mere moments later, two versions of the girl rose up from the tall grass. The sand from the gourd floating around both of them, like a living being, as they both started charging forwards. In each of their belts, they held one Katana each. It seemed that, to avoid being found out which of the two could be real, she had made them both equal in chakra, and shared her items equally between them. "More filth! Do be a good boy, and die like the third Kusakage!" She shouted as she ran forwards, half of the sentence being spoken by each clone. The distance quickly lowering to a mere 75m.

Kage Bunshin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique creates clones of the user. However, these clones are actual copies, not illusions.
Special: "Clone Seal"
Drawback: The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power.
Description: The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed, but will usually disperse after 1 or 2 solid blows. They can also disperse on their own. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original. Shadow clones cannot be distinguished from the actual person even by the Byakugan because the clones have the exact same amount of chakra and aren't made from any other substance. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. (Cannot gain extra training points through training with Shadow clone.) User is able to make up to 5 clones at a time. Takes the amount of time to perform a "B" Rank Jutsu. Shadow Clones may travel between different threads within the same board.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique. Must be Chūnin or gain Village Scroll.

[Aimi Kaguya]

Aimi blinked and visibly flinched at how quickly the mysterious person reaction to him, falling down on their stomach and disappearing below the grass. He furrowed his brow, wondering about whether or not he should be concerned with these actions. His thoughts, and fears, were answered when the stranger stood up again... and now there were two of them. A strange stillness fell over him as the realization hit: They were a shinobi, of what village he didn't know but it hardly mattered. Sand rose from their gourds and they charged, shouting threats and obscenities towards him, a complete stranger who had simply been minding his own business... Aimi would not abide this.

Reaching up, he lowered his goggles over his eyes as they began to close distance on him and then folded his hands into a series of signs. When he was finished, the field began to be shrouded in a dense, black mist. Unless this encroaching stranger had some sort of eye protection like he did, this oily mist he had created would likely get in their eyes and burn them, possibly even temporarily blinding them - especially if they continued to launch themselves headlong forward. As the black mist continued to spread over the field of grass, Aimi channeled the power of his soul to make himself invisible and completely silent. He would also channel his vision to allow him to see in this abysmal darkness he made.

Lastly, he folded his hands together into another short series of signs and took in a breath, then exhaling through his mouth and creating a very small, very dull ball of flame - not hot enough to ignite the oily mist but just bright enough to be visible through it with its warm, inviting glow. With the field set, Aimi would dash off silently to the left roughly fifteen meters, keeping his ball of flame in sight and grabbing his jacket on the way, throwing it onto himself as he did. For now, he would watch and wait to see how this invader reacted.

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

The stranger was clearly up to something, as she could see from the distance while moving closer. In a snap, her eyes turned a dark shade of crimson, visibly glowing if he was paying attention. The distance between them, as he was folding signs without moving much, was quickly cut down to under fifty meters. One thing was certain from how her opponent folded seals, and how his inner-body was built. This boy was a Kaguya, and he wasn't proficient at folding seals. Compared to her own speed, his seal motion was almost slow-motion. As his technique finished however, she needed to do a double take. Everything around the two approaching figures was swallowed up in a thick, oily darkness. It was sticking to her clothes, penetrating deep with a slimy and strange thickness. This had been the Kirigakure Jutsu, but it had been performed with oil instead of water. The girl had already found an abuseable weakness. Both of the versions of Yoshi that was approaching Aimi closed their eyes. The Bloodline would allow her to continue to see, even with her eyes closed. The power which she put into her eyes, wasn't to its fullest potential. Rather than overusing her chakra, she utilised a weaker version of her eyes to conserve it.

The opponent had definitely meant to slip away while within this thick mist. There was only one problem. Where his body was located, there couldn't possibly be any mist. Unless he could become completely ethereal, he would always take up a blank space in this void. Additionally, his flame gave off a strange light in the darkness. Pinpointing his location wouldn't be difficult. So that is exactly what the girl was aiming for. The blank space. One of the two figures folded a quick seal, as a strange sound came off from the others figures chest. It was a sound that, if Aimi had proficiency with hearing, would be easy to recognice. The sound of a burning exploding tag, strapped to the chest of one of the figures...! It was a suicide bomber!

With a twist of her foot, the clone with the exploding tag hidden under her robes rushed forwards to get within range of Aimi. Within range wasn't to say that she would be right besides him. No, she didn't need to get that close. With the oil soaking everything, this exploding tag would ignite his own technique, and since he had done nothing to prevent himself getting soaked, he would very likely be put ablaze - especially because he couldn't see her approaching before it was too late. The question was, if he could hear her approach. If the explosion went off, it would very likely light the entire mist of oil ablaze, burning anything caught within to a crisp. Even the very grass they stood on would be flammable with this technique. The whole area would soon become a firey inferno!

[Aimi Kaguya]

With this black shroud surrounding them both, Aimi could only keep still and listen until his adversary came within a close enough range that he could see them. Invisible and silent though he might be, his visibility was limited by his jutsu almost as much as his opponent, or so he assumed. He was relying on it to slow them down at least long enough that he could get in closer to them and learn a bit more by observing them. He had moments, few or many depending on if they saw his smokescreen in time, to collect himself and try to listen.

He heard the birds, off in the distance, quieter now that things in the field had begun to get active. He heard the slight breeze and the grass beneath him moving, his own breathing, faint and shallow in the mist... a footsteps, coming closer, rushing through the grass. The were faint because of distance but growing louder all the time, and that gave him pause. He shouldn't be hearing any foot steps at all. His mind raced. They were still coming towards him, undeterred by his jutsu. They had some kind of protection from it, what he didn't know - the sand maybe, or something else. He couldn't see. He was starting to panic as his mind raced with possibilities. They were searching blindly. They were unafraid of the black mist, or just didn't know what it was and charged in ignorantly. What he didn't understand, and didn't want to believe though, came into full view as one of the figures - which one was impossible to tell, suddenly came into his view and with it, the realization:

She can see me. Move. His mind screamed, demanding his compliance. Acting more on instinct and reflex than calculated thought and planning, with his adversary a measly ten meters away and closing, Aimi harnessed the power of his soul and shot it out behind him, dragging his body along for the ride in an instantaneous moment - but he was still inside of the mist. Move, he demanded of himself as his soul shot forth again, pulling him back another thirty meters and outside of the mist, a good fifteen meters away from its still spreading edge.

And then it exploded, half a moment, a mere second after he'd escaped from it, the heat of the searing flames pushing back against him like a wave. His heart raced at the thought that he'd almost been caught up in that explosion... but if his hearing had been right, and his sight not lying to him, then his opponent would be too... a suicidal assailant? No, he didn't believe it. The gourd on their back, the sand they carried with them likely protected them from the blast. Whoever they were, they weren't some round about rag tag ninja. They were smart and resourceful and had turned his own jutsu around on him in a moment. His only comfort was that if they had run forward into the mist lie he thought, both of them that is, than they would be covered in the oil just as much as he was... and vulnerable to the inferno around them if they let down their shield.

Trying to gather his wits, Aimi peered into the flames for any sign of them, anything at all - movement in the flames, a shadow through the smoke, anything in the slightest that would reveal where they were to him. He had to be careful from here on if he wanted to get out of this alive.

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

After the explosion, there was a short screaming, as someone was clearly in pain, then complete and utter silence. As the smoke started to clear, and the burning landscape was once again visible, nothing apart from the items that the clones had carried seemed to remain. The two Katana were standing up-right, their blades having pierced into the ground as they had seemingly been flung around by the explosion.

There was nothing else which could be seen. Everything was just a burning wasteland. If he paid close attention, there was layer of sand and several pieces of burnt cloth. It appeared to be a small mound, as if his assailant had attempted to throw herself to protect herself, not completely successfully. There was no movement from the mound at all. Everything was completely silent, and flocks of birds were fleeing the area...

[Aimi Kaguya]

Adrenaline pumped through his veins as his senses were kicked into overdrive, fueled by his near death experience. He'd heard screaming, he'd seem the flames ignite and spread. The smoke was clearing, and it appeared as if there was little to nothing left. He peered hard into the fire and saw two swords sticking out of the earth, and sand. Had he survived the attack...?

No, he didn't trust it. He simply didn't believe he was that lucky, and he wanted to know what had befallen his foe. Once again calling upon his soul, Aimi looked into the past to rewatch and see what he couldn't before in the black mist. Much of it he'd seen already - his training in the field for several minutes. Within his vision, he turned around towards where the stranger had come from and watched as they approached, the events playing out again before his eyes. He watched them throw themselves down and stand up as two entities, watched again as he pulled up the black mist but instead focused on his foe, learning what he could from them. The'd charged head long into the fight, simply closing their eyes when the entered the field, which told Aimi either they were able to find someone without sight, or could see with their eyes closed some how. He watched, through a new perspective, as he saw how the clone had come at him so quickly. Shunshin, they knew how to use it. Then came the explosion, his narrow escape, and in this vision he was focused not on himself and the clone, but the third party - the one who had presumably screamed.

He wanted to see if the had survived, and how if they had - where the had gone to, what they were doing in the flames. He watched intently as events played out already past, as time marched on in reality. Three seconds was all that had passed in between when he had begun to look into the past and when he had stopped. Three seconds, and he would know what had become of his enemy... presuming, of course, they didn't do anything within that three second time frame. The second he would come back, should his vision go uninterrupted, he would work to make a very thin layer of bone throughout his body as a form of protection against whatever they might throw at him next. He wanted no more chances to be taken.

Limit: Must be a Soulcaster.

"Yoroi Kosshi" (Armor of bones)
Rank: C-rank
Skill: Taijutsu, supplementary
Effect: Creates thin layer of bones under skin. (a few cm thick)
Special: ---
Drawback: Consumes 15 additional slots. Movement is somewhat hinder due to the massive amounts of bones created throughout the body (chunin ranked Kaguyas can overcome this later on). Bone strength directly affects the strength of the armor. In addition, the armor does not protect the skin, and even makes it somewhat easier to tear and rip. The abdominal region is still exposed to harm for a short period
Description: Combing both the bones in the body and the free floating calcium and bone through out the body, the kaguya is able to create a thin film of bones to be used as armor. This film of bone covers the entire muscular system and internal organs of the user from attack. The bones that create the armor are also porous, so that blood may still flow toward the skin.
Side note: Though it is easy to cover the area around the body in bone, it actually takes a longer period to create the bone in the abdominal region. It takes roughly the length of two posts to create a "cage system" to protect the organs in the stomach region. Then from the cage system, a film of bone can be created.
- A kaguya can still per create bones even with the film of bone created
Limit: Must be kaguya. Must know "Liquid calcium control"

Bone Strength
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Bone Strengthening
Special: ---
Drawback: Must be an "A" Class Character. When they become an "A" Class Character, they automatically get this. Every time whenever someone attacks a member, the disease automatically takes into effect. At this level, all Jutsus performed by the bone limit carries an additional Three Slots within each Jutsu
Description: There is chakra of molding, and chakra of inner molding. Because of the physical nature of the Kaguya's capability to increase the structure of their bones as well as their capability of using their Bloodlimit. The Kaguya had suddenly found a way to increase the strength within their own bones. This technique is used not for learning capabilities, but more for the capability of the strength within the character. This is the Third level of Strength of the Clan that is known for the Kaguya clan. Their bones strong, they are capable of withstanding up to Two "A" Ranks of Jutsus before they start to break within the user. If the User does not wish to gain this however, they do not need to because of how the body personal workings.
Limit: Kaguya Bloodlimit. Must be a "A" Class

[Yoshi [Lynx!]]

From the creek, is where she would attack. The girl hadn't ever been in the fire to begin with. The two entities that had moved forwards had both been clones. In the time he had been focussed on the attack and his techniques, she had been flanking him from an angle he could've never suspected. Now that she was behind him, and her eyes revealed that he was using one of the same techniques that her love, Ryosuke, had often used, she knew exactly how to end this little bout. As his technique started, she folded a series of seals. The instant she knew his gaze was elsewhere, she decided to strike, attempting to brutally kill him before he could figure out that he had been completely and utterly tricked. The preparation had been made long ago, and now, the trap clasped.

From the creek, she rose up, silently, with several watery orbs floating besides her shoulder. Initially she had thought he would seek refuge from the flames within the creek itself, so that she could assault him with lightning techniques. Instead, he had chosen to displace himself backwards. Still close to the creek, but not focussed in her direction. The orbs all had the piercing properties to penetrate through steel, and would, if they made contact with his skull, likely kill him on the spot.

Sending the twenty-five orbs forwards as if she had fired a shotgun, several of them were meant to impact directly on his body. Most were aimed at his torso, while some were aimed directly at his head. The rest were scattered slightly around him, so that if he somehow caught wind of her treachery, he'd still be in a world of trouble if he attempted to dodge it. Simultaneously, from the opposite side, both of the swords dispelled their transformation (Henge) to reveal that they were in fact clones in disguise. Strapped with exploding tags, they immediately blew themselves up, essentially capturing him between two violent attacks with very limited chance of escape.

Suiton: Mahou Mizu Masairu Bakuhatsu (Water Release: Magic Water Missile Explosion)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive.
Effect: An advanced form of the Mahou Mizu Misairu Renda, this technique creates more 'magic water missiles' and causes them to release a powerful concussive force upon impact.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: Only twenty five missiles are created at once. Can be dodged.
Description: An advancement of the Suiton technique, "Magic Water Missile Barrage", this ability allows the user the ability to create fifteen additional balls, highly condensed and saturated with the user's chakra. Once created, these balls utilize the power of Ochiru Ame no Jutsu to stay within the air. The user is capable of directing these balls with his or her hands. These balls, then, when launched, are shot forward at speeds that reach about three meters per second, making them difficult to dodge, especially if the user attacks with a lot of them. Upon impact, the 'missiles' will release their stored chakra, creating a powerful spraying force that is capable of ripping through steel in the area of the 'explosion', which is about one inch in diameter.
Limit: Must know Mahou Mizu Misairu Renda.

[Aimi Kaguya]

It happened in an instant, which is all the time that it took. In between the three second opening that she had, she took it. He had no idea it was coming, he had no idea it passed. His soul was elsewhere, and his body died. Covered in oil and washed away with water, Aimi fell.

Winner: Yoshi
