Fun in the Swamps (Katsuro vs. Senshi)

[Katsuro]

After a hard day's work in the medical center, Katsuro decided to roam around in the swamps outside of the city for a few hours and watch the sun go down and enjoy the ambiance. He sat quietly rested against a bend in a tree wearing his favorite black and purple robes, vest, and boots. It is rather quiet this time of year as the sounds of wildlife is nearly absent with the falling of snow and a thin layer of ice forming on the surface of the water. Ice sickles are forming on the dead-looking branches of the trees and snow falling from the sky. It was such an enjoyable evening as he enjoyed the feel of the cold air in his lungs. "Man, I'm about to be a real ninja. I start my first mission in the morning. This is a wonderful evening." It is at this time where he attaches a claw to the gauntlet on his left hand and stares at it in anticipation. All of a sudden he hears a noise in the distance in this barren section of the swamps. "Who's there!? I know you're there."

The young ten year old Kunoichi Senshi Odayakama was currently traveling within the swamps of Kirigakure No Sato. She currently armed with a 60 inch katana, one slot of Bo Shuriken, one slot of Hira Shuriken, one slot of kunai, one slot of wire, and a small scroll. She was wearing her rainbow cloak and her regular cloak underneath. The amber haired shinobi had been hopping from tree to tree silently as she had finished her training late today. She had to stop and make camp for the night, and as she was walking she had stepped on a branch making a stray snap. Suddenly, she had heard a figure call out, "Who's there! I know your there." Odayakama Senshi was a bit interested in the fact that there was somebody else in the swamp. Considering the fact that they may be hostile, she had formed a quick set of handsigns drawing water from the swamp. Soon, eight water figures had rose from the water before taking on her characteristics. The clones had nodded as seven of them would split up into different directions and would hide to prepare an ambush as her eighth clone would go torwards the stranger's voice. The original Senshi had remained hidden as the water clone would go to meet the man with claws. He would see that it's a shinobi from his village, a young girl at that. She was currently wearing her headband wrapped around her forehead as her amber eyes had observed the startled boy. She had looked sort of sheepish as she smiled. "Gomenosai. I didn't mean to scare anybody. My name is Senshi Odayakama. Gennin of Kirigakure. Pleasure to meet you." The clone had bowed politely as the original would be watching a fair distance enough away so that the shinobi shouldn't be able to see her. Her seven other water clones would be hiding in the brush, and even within the water itself preparing an ambush.

"Hello Senshi, my name is Katsuro. I'm a bit surprised to see you out here. I can see you have graduated as well. How about we have a little fun? I need to get in a bit of sparring yet today, and just by your headband I can see you can take care of yourself," he says while grinning. "To surrender? I am an apprentice of sorts at the med center and my mentor would be more than a little upset if I killed a little girl, especially from our own village."

He then jumps down from the tree rolls his head around to pop his neck and gets ready to fight. He starts by bouncing on the balls of his feet which are just under shoulder-width apart with his left foot forward. He raises his left hand with his palm up and facing Senshi in a claw shape, and his right hand in the same shape near his right hip.

He laughs, "Let's do this!"

As he said this, the water clone had looked at Katsuro. If only Katsuro had known that Senshi has been a gennin for a few months now. Odayakama Senshi's water clone had drawn it's katana as it had taken a very basic Kenjutsu stance. Stance wide, body lowered, eyes on the opponent, and well focused. At this time, the original Senshi had snuck around the duo as she would form handsigns around the water's surface. She had called out, "Suiton:Yuugyo No Jutsu." Suddenly on the water's surface, three fish had formed swimming in a circle chasing each other's tails it seemed. The other clones had waited in their positions for a good chance to attack as Odayakama's Senshi's decoy clone had dashed forward aiming a diagnol slash to the man's right side from his shoulder to his stomach. At this point in time, three fish of water had leapt out the water behind the shinobi to explode with the force of a low power explosive tag. If he were to take the brunt of the explosion, it would destroy the clone, and bruise and batter him in which the clones would then appear from the tree tops and the water's surface surrounding him. If he somehow escaped the explosion, the clones would still appear from the surroundings surrounding the man.

As soon as the girl in front of him raises her sword to swing at him, Katsuro pushes off the balls of his feet, angling his movement to the right to circle around the girl's left side as she begins to swing from that diagonal.

Odayakama Senshi had hidden in the shadows observing the result of the explosion. Her distraction Bunshin was destroyed. Her seven other water clones had drawn their katana as they would charge the male target in front of them. Two clones had criss crossed while running as they would plan to do a dual diagnol slash across the man's chest. They would be doing this mostly to interrupt the man's handsigns before his ninjutsu can be completed. The following five would be in Kenjutsu position as they would try to keep the man from using any sort of jutsu whatsoever. Odayakama Senshi had yet another plan. Odayakama Senshi would do a short handseal sequence as she would breath out a field of sticky blue syrup around the male. With the clones assaulting him, he shouldn't be able to notice the syrup covering his feet until it is too late. Two clones of course will be sacrafices to capturing the shinobi. The man shouldn't be able to see the syrup regardless seeing it is close to night time. Once the male is trapped, Odayakama Senshi would do a final handseal sequence as she wants to end this battle as quickly as possible. Her remaining clones would be on standby to intercept the shinobi in case he is to try to do any jutsu to escape.

The B rank technique has the ability to spit out a very rapid hit to the opponent causing them and the area they step on for three attacks. The damage dealt to the opponent by the B-rank attack is like being hit with a Water Dragon Blast Technique. The oil is extremely flammable so stay caution of it's sensitivity to fire.

Limit: Water Release

[Katsuro]

As the clones make their way towards him, 500 needles of ice form in a dome around the area. He spends a second to aim the needles and fires half at the crowd around him aiming at non-lethal spots, but he was too slow to get out of the sticky oil blasted at his feet and legs. He tries his hardest to break though the oil until it breaks (3 movement/attacks). He his noticeably injured as he is grimacing and his legs are a little wobbly. Still holding the tiger sign he looks to see who is left standing and says, "You had enough yet? You can't run from my needles."

OCC: -1 movement from injury

[dandead10]

Odayakama Senshi had played her opponent hook, line, and sinker. Now that her opponent has been caught in her trap he will be unable to save himself from her next attack. From the swamp, a tall column of water would form before gaining greater characteristics. The face of a dragon had formed as large red eyes would appear above it's snout. "Suiton:Suiryuudan No Jutsu." The dragon had roared a screeching noise that filled the air as it would then swerve and would go to crash down apon her target. The male should be able to hear the dragon from behind him and may attempt to counter her powerful jutsu with the remainder of his needles.

It will not matter as Senshi had quickly done a short set of handsigns after. "Suiton:Kishinryuu Teppodama." The dragon of water would use the water from the lake to release a large bullet of water to counter any needles aimed for it's body, and it would then charge downward with yet another roar to end the battle. If the male doesn't counter the Kishinryuu Teppodama with his needles, he will very well die from the impact of both attacks. Odayakama Senshi would be a bit drained of chakra at the moment, but she would then investigate the condition of her foe. He would be incapable of dodging her technique seeing he had been trapped, and there was virtually no way for him to save himself from damage.

The ball of water can travel up to fifty meters, but after twenty five meters it will lose most of it's strength. The water can come from three sources, the dragon itself, a body of water that's in contact with the dragon or a water creation technique from the user.
