Freeze to Death! {Open for 1v1}

[Kotaro Kaishin]

The floor of a frozen canyon deep within the land of snow. The temperature is droping into the negatives, the world is a white wash of bright light as the sun hangs in the sky. A sudden shifting of the clouds allows for a brief window of sight and the shapes of ancient pillars covered in snow can me seen. Twenty meters over head various bridges covered in slippery ice connect the edges of the canyon to one another. Constructed by humans long ago they have remained strong despite the poor condition and will not break once stepped on. Hanging from beneath these stone bridges, and from the canyons edges are long stalactites of ice with a sharp point that dangle dangerously. The terrain is rocky, providing plenty of cover. Loose snow lies underfoot creating the sound of crunching as one walks upon it however it does not make stealth any more difficult as the winds constantly howls drowning out any sound other than the roar of nature.

[Kotaro Kaishin]

Walking the Land of Snow in the freezing cold Kotaro was finding himself lost as he ventured through the frozen wilderness. His mother had kicked him out for further training as she was not yet satisfied with his development and so, as he was a Kaishin, she pushed him out into the wild to properly practice his ice techniques. In the snowy mountains a Kaishin should be unbeatable, invincible. She was insistent that Kotaro was not yet at that level and therefore an embarrassment to the clan. A pushy woman she was, Kotaro would much rather find a rich man to seduce out of his money, this ninja stuff was getting in the way but none of it ever mattered to her. Not one to argue with the woman who birthed him Kotaro decided to put everything into this round of training so he could go back to doing nothing. He wore loose clothing as he always did despite the cold. A dark purple shirt adorns his chest though on the right side of the attire it has no sleeve; instead only a strap adorns his arm but the left side has a sleeve that reaches all the way down to the palm of his hand. The shirt is a button up and despite usually being left unbuttoned it is done up and not showing his chest and stomach. His pants are long, thick black cargo pants without any particular pattern or logo and his foot wear consists of snow boots to ensure he doesn't receive any frost bite as he walks through the snow.

A sword tied to his hip the Kaishin taps his butt bag to ensure that he still has his equipment in there and he hasn't lost it, hearing the jangle of the items he's sure it hasn't fallen out.

Bored as he has lost his way since he trained last the Kaishin feels a grumble in his stomach. Perhaps now it was time for him to find someone and con them out of their own food. The life of a con artist was a hard one but he managed as best he could.

[dandead10]

A young ten year old gennin had been exploring the land of snow as this was her first time visiting as a foreignor of the land. A young amber haired girl with a matching set of eyes had been trudging through the snow. She had currently been wearing two cloaks, a katana on her back connected by a black strap, and a black scarf around her neck. The young girl had seen the place was beautiful although deadly at the same time. Senshi had never seen so much snow before, and she would wonder what the lifestyle of the people is.

She had currently also been armed with two slots of shuriken, a slot of wire, and two kunai. Odayakama Senshi had also had a small scroll on her hidden in her jacket pocket as she had walked through the freezing cold. The little gennin had quite a bit of exploring to do, as she was wary of the unstable background. Senshi had never been to her village's allied nation. She would rub her arms and shake her legs to try and keep warm as she tightly wrapped her cloaks around herself. Even with her green jacket under this, it is still freezing. Perhaps she could find something akin to a hotel or inn. Senshi had soon stopped as she saw a treacherous looking canyon of ice with bridges and sharp stalactites. She looked uneasy as she wonders if she must transverse this possible deathtrap. She would take a deep breath as she walks forward finding that it is very sturdy. The mostly innocent gennin had seen a figure down below on the canyon bottom as she was walking above. She not wanting to cause an avalanche or some other sort of disaster had leapt onto the wall of the canyon as her feet turned blue as she stuck to the surface. Running down the canyon wall, the figure should be able to see a person approaching and a possible shinobi at that seeing they are using the art of tree climbing. Senshi would plan to ask for directions to town or something like that as she got closer.

As the girl approached, Kotaro would be able to see a young girl. She looks to be about ten years old and she would be proudly wearing the Kirigakure headband around her neck. She looked to be roughly four and a half feet. Her amber eyes had met his and she had cleared her throat. "Gomenosai stranger. I was wondering if you could please point me to the direction of town. I've never been here before and I could really use a friendly hand."

[Kotaro Kaishin]

A soft voice called out to him under the howl of the wind, feminine in nature. Kotaro turned to see a girl of what he could surmised to be eight or ten approaching him, asking for directions to the nearest town. Two things struck him as he laid his eyes upon her. One, this girl was on her own. A young girl all alone in the wilderness, unusual is it not? Why would a girl be allowed to be on her own so far from any town or village? It was easy to surmise that this was a shinobi of sorts, verified by the Mist Village headband she wore upon her form. It was unfortunate but as luck would have it Kotaro was also a shinobi, one from the Land of Snow. Why unfortunate now? Well, despite the alliance between the two village's of Mist and Snow, there was or course what could be considered racism within the ranks of each Village. The Land of Snow was for the Snow shinobi. Outsiders should just die but hey now, that alone wasn't enough to condemn ones life. So now we have the second issue to deal with; the fact this girl is female. Kotaro, hated women especially pretty women and this girl was pretty. Surely she would grow to become attractive. It was best to pluck the weed before it had time to flower.

A distance of twenty meters away Kotaro would smile gently and slowly begin to walk toward her. His posture had no sense of aggression attributed to it but if this girl was skilled enough in the arts of sensing motive she would easily be able to comprehend the malice and killing intent hidden behind the action as Kotaro was no good at hiding it. Closing the distance to eighteen meters as he walked these two meters he would have quickly formed some hand signs for a jutsu, illusionary in nature. This illusion, if successful, would cause the girl to envisage wooden pillars rise from the ground and pierce into her body. In her perception each of her limbs was be stabbed as was her chest leaving her unable to move whilst Kotaro slowly closed the distance. How she reacted to this would tell Kotaro a lot about her abilities but for now, he merely suspected that this was enough to deal with her.

So in reference to the genjutsu above, how the system here works if you're not aware is that we roll a d20 (twenty sided dice). You can refer to this thread for the details of which but suffice to say I have a supreme advantage here as you've got almost no defense against illusions. If the roll is 1-15 you're affected by the genjutsu, if it's 16-20 you're safe. That said you can try and weasel you're way out of it, maybe attack me before I can shoot it off.

Die roll is listed below unless you'd like to dispute it. It's just so we can try and move the thread along faster, if it were a real fight someone would have to do it for us.

It seemed the figure she called out to had no intention of answering her question, and instead and began to walk torwards her. He had a smile on his face, and she had immediately felt something odd about the boy. Senshi had seen the male begin to do handsigns which held the handsigns rat and snake. Because of this, she immediately recognized the figure was doing a genjutsu. Senshi Odayakama a practitioner in the art of Genjutsu, albeit not very skilled at it was able to recognize the signs. She is a Genjutsu specialist, and immediately she had had avoided eye contact with the figure before the jutsu would go off. What also makes it interesting is that she is also a Phantasm Genjutsu user.

Odayakama Senshi had immediately drawn her 60 inch long black katana. She had a bad vibe telling her that she would be soon engaging in combat. If her foe is a Genjutsu Specialist, she will have to turn to alternate methods to defeat the hostile male. Her first advantage is that she can look at the surface of the ice to see the movement of her enemy. Her second advantage is that she can use the reflection of the blade to locate her opponent also. Senshi had continued to look at the floor as she had pointed her blade forwards at her opponent. "Stop right there. Don't come any closer to me. What you had just attempted to do was a hostile act to me, and I will be forced to fight you if you come any closer."

Odayakama had leapt back several times back to the wall of the ice canyon to gain distance, about six meters. Odayakama Senshi would be puzzled at the act of hostility, but also not really caring at the moment. She had awaited her enemie's response as she had stabbed her blade into the ice floor, weaving a short handseal sequence for a jutsu before picking her blade back up in her left hand. More particularly, she had weaved signs for Suiton: Chiisaimizubakahatsu (Tiny Water Explosion). The young girl had clenched her blade tightly as she never once looked up to meet her opponent with eye contact. Her eyes would instead focus along the icy floor and her blade.

OOC:Quick question. Your Phantasm stated that if any eye contact were on you at the time of the genjutsu. Does that mean even if I looked at your feet I would be in genjutsu although that would be Guy's method to fighting Kakashi? It was also mentioned in the show as a method to combat genjutsu users. Also can this genjutsu be dispursed through pain such as biting her lip to draw blood? Several genjutsu in Naruto including some of the milder ones can be dispursed through pain.

[Kotaro Kaishin]

It appeared the girl know some sort of genjutsu however, it was irrelevant at this point. By the time she had noticed anything the genjutsu had already took hold before she was able to snap her eyes shut. By the time she had finished speaking she'd have noticed the pillars piercing into her body, paralysing her actions. She'd be rendered immobile for a while now which was quite nice for Kotaro now. "It appears as though you've made the mistake of assuming that you'd be safe in this country. How unfortunate." A short, slow pace was afford to Kotaro now his victim was restrained. He took his sword and pressed it lightly against the child's neck. "Perhaps you'll know better in the next life." After speaking Kotaro pushed heavily against the blade and slices opening up the girls neck as easily as slicing a tomato for a garden salad. Pool would quickly gurgle from the allied shinobi's neck and a pool of warm red would splash against the cold snow causing a small amount of steam to rise as the jugular was gashed open.

When the girl collapsed in the cold Kotaro would rummage through her pockets for anything that he could make use of.
