Lance V.S. Atsu (NDE)

[Lance Uchiha]

The sun was bright, the sky was blue, the plump, clouds were white, it was a great day for a match. Though the sun's rays would beat down on them, the gentle, but cool breeze in the air would suffice to cool them off for an all in all great weather condition.

The area only consisted of in the center, for a 15 meter radius, 30 meter diameter, was a flat, grassy plains. Of course there were the occasional rocks and patches without grass you'd find, but for the most part it was plain grass. For another 15 meters outward from the center in all directions was a more of a dirt filled area, though that wasn't the main attraction. There were rocks, not just any rocks, rocks varying from the size of tennis balls to those of two times the size of a normal human. Upon the outskirts, was a forest. Light was barely visible inside of it due to how closely pact the trees were to each other.

10 meters from the very center, within the grassy area was Lance. He stood at a stature of five foot seven inches. He was wearing his normal attire consisting of a black, pullover, short sleeved jacket with a rather talk collar, going up to eight below the ears. Though the collar didn't go all the way around. The front was empty as the collar went down and formed a v-neck instead. Below he only wore a white pair of cargo shorts and black dandies that went up a few inches upon his ankles. He had a single butt pouch that contained 15 slots worth of shuriken. While on the side of his leg was another pouch that contained 10 slots of Kunai. He also had 10 meters of spindle wire with him. Upon his arms were each a gauntlet. This could be used for either attack or defense. He decided to not bring his sword to this match.

Lance was the first to arrive to the arena. He checked his gear to make sure everything was in proper order. Once he did, hands moved only to be placed within the pockets of his shorts. His piercing, coal colored oculars gazed around the area as he took in the area and surroundings.

[Umehara]

Calamity had arrived.

From meters away he dashed, his every footstep pounding against the earth as if no longer able to contain the thought of jubilation. The Protean blood within swelled to life as he moved, tendrils of biomass shifting toward his calf muscles. The ebb and flow itself was an orgasmic feeling, his chakra points aflame with life as he vaulted upward and toward the heavens. But for a moment he would hover midair, the royal blue yukata and gray hakamas upon him whipping wildly about as the winds caressed his mane. Blue eyes descended to survey the entirety of the battlefield. Every rock was noted, every patch of grass silently scanned over to ensure that no immediate traps would befall him. Soki quickly allowed his body a forward spin, the single jolt of momentum allowing him to flip before the soles of his feet slammed into the earth. The edifice upon which they stood rumbled beneath him, testament to his lineage as he stood and revealed a countenance of indifference.

Arms at his sides, his gauntlets shown just through the sleeves of his shirt. The greaves upon his feet dug into the blades of grass beneath them. Raven colored locks veiled his countenance to a slight degree. Eyebrows slightly furrowed, Umehara regarded the shorter assailant before him with silent scrutiny. There were few words that needed to be spoken. They knew their purpose here. As such, Soki contemplated his choice of weaponry. A single butt bag rest at his southern flank, armed with 6 kunai; 114 senbon. An elongated katana rest at his left side, the obsidian scabbard polished to such degree that what light shown through the clouds would gleam majestically from its end. Seconds passed before he lifted his right arm skyward. "....May the best man win."

Without warning, the biomass within began to shift. Years of manipulation had come to allow him this moment. Tendrils of flesh erupted from his shoulder, spiraling downward in a grotesque manner until warping the appendage. It swelled, coalesced into a sharpened instrument immediately recognizable after it had finished its transformation. In place of his arm was now a razor sharp blade, spikes of flesh and sinew protruding from where his natural extremity had once been. The distance between them would ensure that he would be allowed this technique's fruition, no harm yet compromising the sanctity of their respective preparations. His left arm at his side, Soki swung the blade once and allowed its tip to dig slightly into the ground beneath as he fell statuesque. Feet spread apart, the six foot three Protean would lower his center of gravity.

The pieces were set, the board prepared. The battle had begun.

[Lance Uchiha]

Lance decided to play things safe first as he took multiple steps backwards. He began to inhale deeply while he made necessary hand signs. After the hand signs were complete, he raised his hand to his mouth, coating it in chakra as it made a circular form around his mouth. Lance then exhaled into the circle, once the air met the chakra it combusted into flames. A stream of fire 2 meters long before a large fireball was made, nearly 3x that of a normal humans size. He then shot it straight out at his opponent while he backed away.

" Katon, Goukakyuu no Jutsu! "

[Umehara]

His opponent had chosen to retreat, apparently.

An unfortunate set of events, given that Soki would take the alternative route. No sooner than when his opponent began his backpedal, the Protean's left arm would ascend to chest level. Multiple handseals were flipped through, though few would be needed. His eyes kept careful watch over his assailant - what purpose was there to distance oneself but to gain the necessary space for ministration? With this in mind, the set of handseals had been completed almost as quickly as his reasoning. His knowledge of the earth came into play immediately thereafter, chakra points igniting with his life's essence. A simple bend of his knees, and the shinobi would be prepared to leave gaia on a whim. Hopefully unbeknownst to his opponent, busily preparing his offense, a number of fifty senbon would erupt without warning from all around him from the very ground he moved upon. No more than a couple of meters from his legs, the spray of projectiles were intended to claim nearly every inch of him. Every senbon had been meticulously chosen and pointed before launch. At least half of them would reach his waist, designed to pierce his clothing and reach the flesh and bone therein. The other half, aimed in a cone  toward the air, would seize his abdomen and appendages less than a breath later.

Still, the Protean would leave nothing to chance. Vaulting to the side and toward the air, his aggressor's backpedal giving him the means to do so, he would ascend at a trajectory that would allow him to escape the flaming sphere's advance unscathed should it have come into creation. Resilience was not to be underestimated. As such, the biomass began to shift once more. The sound of its change, grotesque and eerie for but a few seconds, stopped only when the appendage took on entirely new properties. The Whipfist, elongated and capable of eviscerating his opponents, held at the ready. Either his opponent would surrender with wounds compromising his ability to attack, or he would suffer the brutality of the Protean's instrument of destruction. Regardless, no quarter would be granted.

[Lance Uchiha]

After the fireball, he pulled out plenty of shuriken while simultaneously placing his hand on a rock around his size that was sticking out of the ground near him before he put chakra into his feet, only to quickly spring off them into the air, only while simultaneously throwing shuriken down to match them. Any that got past would be deflected if blocked by his Kunai in the other hand or either of the gauntlets on his arms.

Though he always kept a quick watch on his opponent for when he'd strike. But, most of his attention was turned to that of the senbon shooting out of the ground.
