✢ ✢ ✢

P

ricillia found herself outside of her usually inhabited zones once more. The sky was full of dark clouds, though the heat from the sun behind them made the weather somewhat unbearable to the frost-born kunoichi who has spent all of her life adjusting herself to the harsh temperatures of the snow village. Pricillia felt hot, despite not even carrying that much. The cloak she was wearing was just a thin layer of clothing and was used to provide more shelter from the sun, via the usage of the hood, than to actually add up to the whole heat factor. Underneath her cloak, she was practically naked, or so a high-school teacher would say as her shoulders were clearly in the view with her wearing a short white tank-top, dropping almost all the way down to her belly-button and short black shorts, going an inch or so below her buttocks. Attached to the belt of her shorts, she wore her two but packs filled with her inventory, respectively. Her left butt pack contained her more combat-directed equipment as it contained her 5 grapeshot grenades, 3 smoke pellet grenades, 2 explosion fire grenades and 45 five-pointed hira-shuriken. Her second butt pack contained her secondary equipment, or namely, 80 standard-shot vials, all of them still empty as she just made the purchase recently. It also contained the two small scrolls which she had sealed inventory inside as it would follow.

The first scroll had her puppet, Sylvia, barely sealed inside with all of its equipment for the exception of the two long-swords who she plain couldn't seal within the length of the scroll. The second butt pack had two tun barrels, both filled with 242 gallons of sand beforehand, totalling 484 gallons of sand altogether located inside the barrels.

Despite being prepared for combat, Pricillia had to admit to herself that she'd much rather not enter one. The weather was far too overwhelming for her to have her think about combat. Located on the left end of the bridge, Pricillia stared into the distance. 'How did I end up here,' she wondered as she dashed her eyes at the other end of the bridge. The forest beyond the end of the bridge seemed as dense as it had been during her arrival.

[Enter]

Pax entered and the wondrous landscape instantly caught his eyes. The stone bridges placed above the water looked as if they were straight out of a painting. The warm weather felt great on his pale white skin, and on his scalp under his light grey hair. For some reason he had been missing his vest filled with his secondary items, but he was still wearing his blue kimono, and his wooden sandels, accompanied by his three katanas held in the sheathes by a white, belt/ rope-like feature of the kimono.

The sun caused his headband to glint and sparkle as he moved his head around surveying the natural wonder that was this area. The warm weather left him feeling great, while he stretched and cracked his bones. Pax surveyed until he saw what appeared to be someone else around here with him. "Nothing to worry about. They're probably who I'm here to kill anyways." Pax said under his breathe as he rested his left hand on his masterwork katana, still in the sheathe. Still aware of the other person nearby he walked towards them with his head down and eyes closed, yet readier than ever to strike.

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

Highly observant as always, Pricillia noticed the figure approaching her from the other side of the bridge. With a keen eye for detail, she could also notice that whoever the person was had their eyes closed, walking towards her. Gazing at the individual, Pricillia noticed them mumbling something under their breath - something she could read as if words written on-top of their lips, due to her... Torturous training, or so she decided to call it. 'Kill?' Immediate concern struck the female as she realized she was inside a situation she most wanted to avoid due to the current state of her physique which was far from its peak. The chances of Pricillia's abductors sending a hit man after her were low, especially considering their agreement for the future, but they still weren't non-existent.

Not especially wanting to fight, Pricillia decided to take a different approach with the situation while gathering as much information as she could of the situation. "Halt!!" Pricillia would shout in the top of her lungs. "This area is restricted and all access to it is forbidden as stated in this public order." State your business, or you will be asked or persuaded to leave by out Gardien!" By the time she began speaking, her hand was already inside of her second butt pack, her fingers, slithering through the vials searching for one of the two scrolls. She was looking for the scroll with the sand barrels sealed inside which she knew she positioned on-top of the one with her puppet. By the time she was finished speaking, the scroll was already inside of her hands and upon mentioning the public orders, she tossed it towards the male, aiming directly for the centre of their body so it would be easy enough to catch it.

[Cacophony]

As Pax heard the feminine voice tell him to halt, he stopped and looked up, never removing his left hand from the hilt of his sword. Restricted area? But he had been dropped here, as far as he knows at least. Pax felt as if something wasn't right at all. "Maybe you can help me... I have no idea why I'm HERE, where i am even. I was sent on a private order and now I'm here." He said as he noticed the scroll lightly tossed at his chest. "If that was an attack I feel bad for her." He thought to himself as he plucked it out of the air and read the public order to himself.

Why had he been here, and who had he been sent to kill? At this point he would look up and attempt to read the situation. "I'm obviously not where I'm supposed to be am I?" He asked not only the girl, but himself as well as he tossed the scroll back to her lightly. His thoughts racing, asking himself if this was a trap, or if he was here for a reason.

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

As she witnessed the male grabbing a hold of the scroll, Pricillia immediately thought to herself: 'Victory!' Using her ability to perform NinJutsu without the usage of handseals, Pricillia pulsed her chakra through the scroll which had the two barrels of sand filled within them. Cosmetic smoke from the summoning technique would quickly scatter in a small cloud, only to manifest two tun barrels, each holding nearly 250 gallons of sand. Whether the opponent would be crushed by the weight of the barrels alone or not didn't matter to Pricillia as she wanted to get herself out of harm as fast as she could and to do so, she'd even dismember a corpse. Immediately after summoning the tuns, which would prove to be more exhausting to her than usual due to doing it without folding handseals, Pricillia would start actually folding handseals for an "A" ranked technique. If her opponent would still be around or even near the tuns, the sand from them would quickly emerge out and move to slither around them, creating the preparations for the usually life-ending attack - Sabaku Kyuu. If the enemy would still be in Pricillia's line of sight, she would aim the sand to first capture their arms, as that much would make sense if they were to fold handseals. Next, She would creep the sand around their legs, then up the torso and so on until layering their entire body, with the exception of their face, with sand.

"The public order is mine and I order you to die!!" She shouted, the heat taking its toll on her.

  Special: "Hand Seals"
  Drawback: ---
  Description: After forming the seals chakra controls the 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.

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. It takes one post to trap the opponent.
  Limit: Must have the Sand Release, Must know Suna Futoiude no Jutsu.

[Cacophony]

As everything was happening in front of him something in Pax's brain told him to drop the scroll and jump backwards. It was a good thing he did because as the smoke started to clear, he could see massive barrels of sand dropping where he was. "I was hoping you'd surprise me." Pax said as he performed hand signs for a jutsu he had hoped would help him. As he would finish

As he finished an emanating field of chakra would appear, centered on him for 20 meters. "Let's see how you deal with this." Pax said as he drew his sword with his right hand and walked forward, hoping the young girl would proceed with her sand attacks so he could properly punish her for her insolence. He lightly breathed out as he changed his stance up, right foot forward, facing his enemy, left foot back perpendicular to the right foot. Feet shoulder length apart, holding his sword close to his left side ready to defend or strike at any second, aware that the girls sand could come from anywhere now.

Kokoromanako (Mind's Eye)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"(150 tp)
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: By fighting on and on, a user becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the user 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 User 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 from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint

Jutsu's Feedback
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User creates a field to backfire Chakra Jutsus.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Affects any 1 or more creatures within the range of the technique. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 20 meters radius centered on the user. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This Jutsu creates a field that hampers Chakra Performing (including the user's Jutsus) for the duration of the Jutsu. Any time a creature (including the performer) tries to perform a Chakra Jutsu or use a Jutsu-like ability within the area of the emanation, the Jutsu fails as if countered and explodes in the creature’s face, dealing 30 Armour Points of Force Damage per Rank of the Jutsu. Thus a failed attempt to perform a "C" Rank Jutsu would deal a 60 Armour Points of Force Damage to the creature. This field has no effect on Dispelling Jutsus.
Limit: Must be a Shape Transformation Specialist.

Tenchi Hasso no Kamae and Fudo no Kamae
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Two basic stances used in the art of swordsmanship.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Tenchi Hasso no Kamae , Fudo no Kamae , The Tenchi Hasso and Fudo no Kamae are similar to that of closely towards that of Seigan and Chudan no Kamae to where the footing is quite similar. The user keeps their right or left foot forward having their toes pointing forwards. Their opposite foot is shaped in an "L" shaped keeping their legs in equal motion. Their feet are perpendicular from one another as face forward their feet and legs are in shoulder width apart. With the Tenchi Hasso no Kamae the user holds the sword more closely towards their sides. The body is slightly slanted a little more as the user holds the sword tightly. This is mostly used for a defensive form of the stance as the user keeps the sword pointing upwards. For Fudo no Kamae the user uses this stance in more of an offensive form. The user would face the opponent as their arms are raised up holding the hilt of the blade. The sword is slanted in a diagonal form but the user keeps this stance and holds it tightly. This stance is mostly used for attacks that deal with downward strikes, but as well as the type of movements for confusing the enemy with sliding attacks.
Limit: Must Learn from a Master of Burēdono Kenseijin - ブレードの剣聖人 - Blade of the Sword Saint

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

Pricillia was relatively far away from her opponent when she tossed the scroll at them and them jumping backwards only increased the distance between them, but that mattered not for her sand would still give chase swiftly, managing to get less than ten inches away from the enemy before they would perform a technique, igniting the chakra Pricillia was running through the sand to manipulate it, causing it to explode with high-power right before the enemy's feet. Pricillia remained unaffected by the as she somehow found herself out of the radius of the opponent's technique. The explosion caused the sand to scatter around as shrapnel though, but that was no issue for Pricillia. In fact, it worked in her favour as the commotion was bound to give her an opportunity to strike unnoticed. She quickly moved forwards, ducking down, hiding behind the two giant tun barrels. Taking a risk and entering the radius of the opponent's technique, which she found out by observing the area of sand combustion, Pricillia decided to not risk performing any hand-signs for the time being. Instead, ducking behind the tun, she reached inside of her butt pack and pulled out two grenades - one grapeshot and one fire, almost instantly removing the pins and then tossing them in the location where the opponent was.

Hopefully, the tuns would act as a defence for the explosion of the grenades as well. Of course, facing the commotion, she would also look to see if an attack would approach and ready herself to dodge, in case her grenades held no power against her foe.

[[ Since the desert coffin technique was not mentioned in the post, I am using what is listed as a 'critical hit' in the combat rules and listing exactly how close the sand managed to get to you before you detonated the chakra that was controlling it. The distance is now less than 10 inches away from the target and it's exploding, dealing 120AP of damage as stated by your technique's description, it being an "A" rank technique, scattering sand as shrapnel. ]]
