Gang Warfare in the Clouds

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

The shop in which Ryutatsu has set up around was one that was down an alley from most of the other shops. It was rumored that this sword shop got hit more often by the protection rackets of both gangs in the area than most. It's out of the way local made it easy for trouble makers to get away with beating the old man who runs the shop and taking off with his money.

The old man was a strong swords smith but was no fighter of any kind. Thia was why he needed protection and was grateful to the young Shinobi for setting up at his shop in particularly. Ryutatsu thought it was a great ambush site as well due to all the metal in the shop.

This provided him with opportunity and means to fight the thugs of these gangs that would pray on these shop keepers of his new home. Actually, Ryutatsu lived just a little further down himself because the rent was cheap and was quiet for his studying. This was a bit of payback in favor of his kind neighbors.

As part of his preparation for the thugs he aet up a few traps he could trigger himaelf since he didn't want any real customera caught in the crossfire. This was gonna be an interesting mission for him. It was just so close to home and violated the safety of his community. This mad the young man full of anger at these hooligans.

He was as ready as he could be on a nearby roof watching the front entrance waiting for these bold cowards. He was actually anticipating a fight but one he counted on winning. He wanted these people alive so he could question them and bring them to justice.

Akio, Haru and Goro moved along down the way towards the shop. They were up to no good as per usual. They had recently just shaken up another shop further down the street. Akio was the brains of the group. A former ninja and a drop out of the academy at the rank of Genin. Haru was a mercenary that had fallen on some rough times. His scimitar looking sword clung by his side as he moved behind Akio. Goro was one of Haru's mercenary brothers who had followed his from the service of a small minor village. 

Goro was significantly bigger then the other two. He wasn't dumb, but bright was never a word that was often used in conjunction with the lumbering woodsman carrying his axe. They didn't have a lot of work left to do today. They would simply need to shake up the Chokichi family Tea Shop. Once the two elderly owners had pain their fee they could bring the money back to their head quarters and start the next phase of their push to extort the city.

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu noticed the trio enter the old man's shop and he was prepared for them, though he found it interesting on how big the three were. Since the solid walls of the indoor shops provided plenty of cover he started the hand seals of his favored jutsu on his scabbard, Flying Shock. It was dumb of the gangers to bring so much metal with them but then again they didn't know what was lying in wait for them.

He then released his potential on their weapons he could see. He had the ability to magnetize four metal objects and he did that with their weapons, he wanted the potential so high that it dragged the weapons together in a strong bond. This was just a first step in his plan to take out these thugs. He was quite prepared for them. 

He used his Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push) to appear right behind them. Ryutatsu started with the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture) and allows the any of his  opponent strike first. At the last moment, he planned on drawing his blade performing Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) to hit the first to attack him. If the attacker somehow manages to dodge the first attack, Ryutatsu was going to follow through with their sheath. The sheath strike delivers a pulverizing blow capable of crushing bone and shattering wood, but if the sword strike misses, the sheath strike acts as powerful insurance, preventing an opponent's attack and delivering a crushing blow when it's least expected. Unsheathing the sword takes up no movements when performing the first attack, however the second attack does take up a movement.

He was aiming for no lethal blows so he was using a reverse bladed draw slowing him a fraction. It was an untrained variation but he knew he needed to cature them alive.

The three of them felt the sudden pull of their weapons being pulled as they saw him jump out of the wood work. The three of them felt their weapons being drawn forwards as they were being moved somehow while the kid was jumping out towards them. The kid swung forward with his blade and the bandit jumped back quickly only to get smacked with the sheath. Aiko cursed and jumped back. "We don't know what the hell you want kid but you better back off before someone gets hurt." Their weapons had been stripped from them on the floor in the ground.

But they could still defend themselves. Goro reached into his cloak and pulled out a heavy wooden club. It seemed like a brute tool but it fit this brutish man very well. The bandits started to slowly spread out as they attempted to encircle Ryutatsu. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryuatsu shook his head as his hands flew into hand seals to perform armor of lightning. His skin first started to glow but then little lightning snaps started to crackle along his skin and clothes. His own hair started to stand to the electrical response so would his opponents hair. These thugs didn't know the shinobi that they threatened. He was more than prepared for their attempts of bullying, and he was here to stop it.

"You are going to be the one hurt gang banger. You have two options the hard way or the easy way. Surrender to the Kazekage's authority. Either way you are coming with me. " Before even another action was taken he slashed out again with his chosen way of Busōsen. Ryutatsu grabbed the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, he thereafter takes steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. His aim was Goro's secondary weapon, he was going to leave them with little option but to follow his way.

His eyes whirled with the white spots and were a bright emerald as he talked to this big guys. There was no fear in him even the slightest, in his eyes or body posture. His mind was anaylzing everything it could on his opponents. He noted Goro's obvious woodman background from the dress of his clothes, to the roughness of his look. He was a broad man but more he had traditional calluses of those who work the woods.

The shorter man had eyes of a warrior but more so of a killer. He was even more use to the weapons he had. This guy breathed of violence and the use to it. He was probably going to be his biggest problem since he probably knew that there was little chance a boy could control three men.  That guy probably already had a record as well, that would be something to use later.

The center guy though read as someone who had similar training to him. The voice was obviously the brightest of the bunch or at least the leader. The other two had looked to that man, so Ryutatsu may need to subdue this man first to leave them unable to plan further at least beyond the immediate need to defeat himself.

"The Kazekage's authority." Akio sneered at him. "Seems to me like you just decided at attack a group of random strangers... The wrong group of strangers I might add." Aiko said jeeringly. Taking a deep breath Aiko made some hand signs and blew up a large amount of dirt that was on the floor and kicked it up in the air in front of Ryutatsu. The result would be to hopefully blind the young lad so the three of them could start attacking them. They would wait to see how he reacted to all this first. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

With a slight movement Ryutatsu snapped hia goggles over his eyes to protect them from the incoming dust particles. As the dust settled around them the lightning snapping around his body, arched and crackled at the minute metals in the dust. It actually increased his electrical field with those small inconsequential particles of metal mixed in with the dirt. This was outside the smithing area so metal shavings were everywhere. With that now in the air, it floated and crackled shocking all in the area of dust as it arched from his body to the particles and beyond.

"You are members of the Shockers shaking down merchants for protection money. You have been observed doing so. And you chose the hard way so take your punishment." With that his hands flew into more seal signs gathering his chakra into electrified currents to the palms of his hands. He had a slightly ironic grin as lightning shot from him to the particles to an 180 degrees in front of him.

Lightning Torture was one of his inherited talents and he was now using it on the thugs. Their muscles would start contorting and convulsing in a spasmatic manner as currents ran through their bodies. It was even stronger than usual thanks to Akio's brilliant idea to send dust into the air. His currents shouldn't cause permanent damage to the thugs but it would certainly hurt them.

"You could have just surrendered." He felt no pity for these thugs of a protection racket. These who would pray on the weak for meager gains were the lowest kind of scum. As a Shinobi he vowed to protect these people from scum like this so he was going to do just that. He a few other tricks up his sleeve if they decided to continue though.

It looked to the young Shinobi that they needed to be taught a lesson they won't forget any time soon. And he was the giver of said lesson this time around. He shook his head at them in disgust as he fed his pet lightning into them ina manner meant to bring more pain then harm.

As the young kyoudo boy shot the lighting into the dust there was a long period of silence that would be unexpected from an attack so powerful. As the dust cleared it would reveal an earthen mud wall inbetween the two groups. After a second of stillness suddenly two really large stones were launched at the kid from the stone wall. 

Aiko's breathing had picked up. Sweat was on his face. That was a close one. Alright... so this wasn't just some kid. They needed to treat him with some level or respect. He gave a grin as he reached into his coat wrapping his fingers around a few shurikens that he had in his pouches. He fastened a piece of execution wire between the two them. He just needed to wait for an opening. 

Goro was mad. There was nothing he hated more then cowering behind a barricade. Especially with just a little kid there as his opponent. He gripped the edges of his club with a white knuckle grip. He just needed to wait for Aiko's orders. He hadn't led him wrong since he joined this little crew. He tended to know more about when to act on these kind of things. 

Haru was annoyed at being disarmed. He decided this kid had earned a chance to be taken out by something he had been working on. Holding his hands out he started some energy in his hands. After a while he had a sword made of chakra running through his fingers. Taking a deep breath Haru darted from behind the wall towards the kid. 

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu was impressed by the quick actions of Akio in bringing up a mud wall between them. It surprised him that a thug like them would have some worth while chakra skills. When the bricks flew at the he swayed out of the way for they were poorly aimed without seeing him. It was easy to dodge the brings but not so much the rushing Hara.

Hara charging around the wall with a Chakra sword was a surprise to Ryutatsu but he was trained on a defensive style of swors work in the first place. So he met blade with blade with this mercenary of a thug. The guy had some speed to him and was obviously a dangerous vicious fellow. Ryutatsu figured it was time to start paralyzing and knocking out these guys then call for help for transporting them.

Using Keihatsu Ryuu: Iwagui (Boulder Eater) from within the sheath he met the charge head on. Hara's Chakra blade sparked when it hit the metallic sheath. Before they could break apart of go into a game of testing strength, Ryutatsu took a deep breath and forced the swords into his favor knocking Hara over. He then layed a hand on the first of the thugs he could do so on.

Witth Ryutatsu's body still glowing and crackling with electrical energy as shock was sent through Hara. Wherever Ryutatsu touched was sent a strong paralyzing shock. It would be a very painful experience enough to cause even a harden thug to yell out in pain. And Ryutatsu smirked slightly. For even though he didn't like taking a guy while he was down. Ryutatsu felt like he needed to even the odds, they were going from three vs one to two vs one.

"Hello over there. One down, two to go. You can still surrender." He didn't move towards them yet, instead he renewed the Flying Shock Jutsu on his scabbard and prepared for the next move of his erstwhile opponents. He didn't figure the big woodsman would be much of a challenge due to being something of a lumbering being but Akio's Earth release Jutsu will be something to look out for.

[Deleted]

Goro blinked as he saw the bandit go down. In anger he reached out and grabbed the massive earth wall and hurled the entire stone fortification at the kid. Using this as his opening Akio hurled the shuriken on either side of the young lad. The execution wire aimed towards his mid section. The wire would be hidden from sight behind the stone wall. If Ryutatsu walked on either side of the stone wall one of them would surely hit him.

(ooc good hit.)

[Ryutatsu "Sakurai Sword"]

Ryutatsu realizing the kind of danger he was in from Shuriken and a wall being thrown at him quickley used a secret Jutsu of the Cloud village making his Armor of Lightning have a field of lightning balls flying from it. He did the hand signs then used the walls and polls of the stalls right next to him to climb and get above the dangerous thrown objects. He climb and ran as quick as fast little body could in which the lightning help him speed up. He ended up jumping onto the wall and from it towards his foes.

He drew his sword as he fell towars the bigger of the two feet first. Ryutatsu somewhat purposely letting the ligjyning that was armor around him and shooting from him to do the damage he needed on the big ox of a man. The woodman of such strength would be shocked and burn from the electrical currents flying off the young Kyoudo.

He tumbled off the man being careful as he could as not to cut himself on his Katana. He continued to roll until he was on his feet. Ryutatsu decided that this battle lasted long enough and shook his head at the thugs that would challenge a Shinobi of the village Hidden in the Clouds. He wasn't a push over where a few tricks would end him or even slow him down much.

Using the reverse of his usual jutsu's ties to his sword, He used the Dragon's Howl. This was a sheathing technique that scabbard his sword at flash speeds an produced a hypersonic wave of sound that is capable of stunning everyone within five feet of him. It was one of the moves he didn't use often for the pain of the sound made defense against it hard and Ryutatsu like usually giving his opponents a chance to surrender.

The hypersonic sound was so loud it truly sounded like a dragon howling in their faces. He had given them plenty of opportunities to give up their wicked ways, he was kind not stupid or gullible. They used up the rope he was willing to hand them. With another set of hand signs he reactived his blood calling to nearby chains and sent the chains to wrap around the three tightly. "You three are coming with me."

(OOC: Thanks. Just tell me if I am doing to much.)

[Deleted]

As Ryutatsu dispatched the chains to wrap around the gang members they knew when they had been beaten. The three of them were now at the mercy of the young ninja.

(I'd imagine this is good. Although I'm not the one who determines that. Make a good post turning in the criminals and report to the Raikage to see if she approves it.)
