A walk around the village. {Masa/kuz only}

[hotoka]

Hotoka was finally done with his paperwork and thought it'd be nice to make a walk around the village. Maybe find a new spot to train or just simply a walk. The weather was quite nice to his oppinion, as it was rainy and a thunderstorm was raging close to him. When looking around him Hotoka saw that there were a couple of trees, rocks but besides that nothing. In some way it looked quite familiar, something about the place had a bit a nostalgic feeling to it. As Hotoka walked on he kept having the feeling he saw someone. Even though he was quite confidend in his skills, he still had a bit of a paranoid feeling about it. After a couple of minutes he was almost sure that he heard something and turned around, to where he thought the sound came from.

{EDIT}

Masa
Kuzunchi

[kajou]

(Fine I'll post as Kuzunchi...)

''Damn...'' Kuzunchi had been following Hotoka ever since he had escaped from him, and now he had half given away his hiding place. Peering around the tree he was hiding behind, he saw Hotoka stare right into his eyes and he yelled, jumping back which hurt as his legs were still bandaged. ''Hey.'' he muttered in pain, raising an arm and slowly walking towards Hotoka, pulling out his umbrella.

[hotoka]

"Oh? I remember you.. You're Kuz right? Heheh, never thought I would ever see you again." Hotoka said as he already took his claws on, seeing that Kuz grabbed his umbrella. "Hey, lets make this the last time we'll be seeing eachother as well.. Only one shinobi will leave this area alive, the other one dies." He said with a big grin on his face. No matter how much Hotoka grinned, he still had a bit of a feeling of fear in him, as this would be the first time he would actually kill someone. He moved his hand to his mouth to let out a little cough and in the small movement he quickly made the half-ram, giving out an electrical charge to his claws.

{DEATH ENABLED}

[kajou]

''Unh...'' Luckily for Kuzunchi, he was familiar with the jutsu Hotoka was using, as it had been used on him a few days ago. ''That won't work on me again.'' he said, swinging his umbrella up and down, humming as he attempted to hit Hotoka. As he did this, his bandages fell, and he saw his legs were no longer damaged. ''What do you know...?''

[hotoka]

As Kuzunchi attacked Hotoka, Hotoka made a quick dodge to the side, trying to hit Kuzunchi from the side. After his slash hit or missed Hotoka jumped back with an extreme speed, covering up his entire upper body with his claws. The moment Hotoka was around 5 meters away from Kuzunchi he performed some handseals, and send a small plum of electrified chakra up in the sky. Not even a second after that Lightning bolts started to drop down from the sky, all around Hotoka. When the lightning bolts shot all around Hotoka, and mainly focussed on kuz, there was a big chance of Kuzunchi being hit, but just in case that Kuzunchi tried something he still stood on guard, one claw covering his stumach and lower chest, while the other claw covered his upper chest, neck and shoulders.

[kajou]

Kuzunchi noticed Hotoka attack, and he quickly stepped to the side to dodge the attack. He observed Hotoka perform some hand seals, and suddenly a huge lightning-bolt appeared in the sky, and came crashing down towards him. ''Shit!!!!'' he yelled, as lightning began to spread across the ground, destroying more and more terrain until it eventually began to reach him. He quickly jumped back and grabbed a tree trunk, then swung himself back to another tree, then another, the lightning charging at him in hot pursuit, as he began talking again. ''You have gotten stronger over the past month, and you are even able to use a B-Rank jutsu! I'm impressed...'' he said, as Hotoka began to get further and further away due to Kuzunchi swinging further and further. But still the lightning caught up with him, and he fell towards the ground, and landed in a large pile of dirt, blood trickling from his head, as the lightning reached him. Suddenly, a figure jumped in front of him and was eletrocuted, as Kuzunchi watched on. ''Hey boss...'' said the boy, turning his head, revealing himself as Masa. ''Masa, don't die...'' muttered Kuzunchi in horror, as the lightning stopped and Masa dropped to the ground, apparently dead.

Kuzunchi wiped away tears from his face as he approached Hotoka angrily. ''You...YOU KILLED MY ONLY FRIEND! FOR THAT, I'LL KILL YOU DAMN IT!'' Kuzunchi withdrew six senbon, and threw them at Hotoka, then, at his highest speed, Kuzunchi ran forward and prepared to slice Hotoka in half, as he yelled:

''BASTARD!!!!!!!!''

[hotoka]

As a lightningbolt was close to hitting Kuzunchi another person jumped in, just to save Kaj. Hotoka looked at it with a shocked look on his face. What did I.. He ju.. He was almost lost in thought as all of a sudden Kuzunchi threw a couple of senbon to Hotoka, from which 5 all hit lower arms, giving out a horrible pain. Trying to withold his screaming Hotoka held on to the claws even tighter, and ran towards Kuzunchi, who seemed to be running towards Hotoka as well but not before creating four clones. As Hotoka ran towards Kuzunchi he held his left claw in front of him to fend of any incoming attack, while holding his right claw behind his head. All the time his clones followed him, making the same movement but every single clone in a different way, so that Hotoka was sure that it was hard to guess which one kuz would have to look out for. The moment they came close to Kuzunchi they first rose their left claw, trying to move away the umbrella and after that smashing their right claw towards Kuzunchi. The moment Hotoka's right arm was stretched, they made a quick leap to the side, making sure they got back in mid range again, with both of their claws defending their vital organs.

[kajou]

Kuzunchi was lost as four clones surrounded him. ''Darn it... how am I gonna know who is who now?'' He quickly noticed them attack, and jumped up to avoid them. Then he noticed them jump to the side of him, covering vital spots. He also noticed that when one Hotoka landed, the grass beneath it's feat actually moved because of the weight of his feet pressing down on the ground, where as the other clones made no movement in the ground. Gotcha, thought Kuzunchi, as he jumped up and above the real Hotoka, holding his umbrella in a downward motion as he jumped downwards towards Hotoka, yelling as he did, ready to strike Hotoka and impale him through his head down to his lower body. He also created a genjutsu, of Kuzunchi running towards Hotoka, preparing to kill him, so as to distract Hotoka whilst the real Kuzunchi continued his attack.

[hotoka]

As Hotoka's attack appereantly failed, he saw Kuzunchi running at him and with a jump trying to hit him. The thing was though, that when he was in teh sky, there would be no way that he could dodge. Thus Hotoka, and all of his clones, each jumped away to a side, turned around and shot around fifteen flaming balls at Kuz, Three at Kuz's upper body, three below him, three on the right side, three on the left and three above, all in the formation of a square. The moment they hit or missed Kuz ran towards Hotoka, and as he came close to him, Hotoka dropped himself on the ground to give out a powerfull kick at Kuz's stomach, following it with a slash of his right claw and a jump back again, back in his usual position. As he noticed that nothing happened to the Kuz he just thought to hit Hotoka's eyes were turned wide open. What is.. Genjutsu? Or a clone just like.. No, Kuz must be somewhere here.. But where.. As he was still standing in his usual pose he looked around the area and in the meanwhile trying to Kai, just in case.

Katon - Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
Rank: C Rank
Description: This is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Fire Element. The ninja does the necessary hand seals and then emits a series of small fire balls. The ninja can also hurl a projectile which is covered in these same flames. To the opponent the attack appears to be only the balls of flame, they do not see the hidden threat within the flames. Meaning that even if the flames are put out, the projectiles can still converge on the target. The flames can be used to cover different projectiles like shuriken or kunai.
Limits: Elemental to Katon; small projectiles only.

[kajou]

As the flames flew towards Kuz, he noticed that they had been aimed at different parts of his body. He growled and summoned up a water clone, which jumped in front of him and took the hits. However, this hadn't been done completely on time, so he was burnt a little from the jutsu, but it was raining, so it put the fire out a little, damaging him less.

By the time the water clone had gone, Kuz was already hidden behind a rock planning his next move, as he summoned another 3 clones, which he positioned around Hotoka and his own clones. Each of the clone withdrew 12 senbon, 6 in each hand, and he threw at all the Hotokas. As this was happening, the real Kuz snuck up behind the real Hotoka, whom he had identified earlier and had been keeping eyesight on, and placed his umbrella round his kneck, ready to sever his head. As he attempted to do so, he spoke some words. ''This trap...feel familiar?''

Level: 20

[hotoka]

As the balls flew at Kuzunchis back Kuzunchi seemed to know that they were coming and created a clone which defended Kuzunchi from some flames, but Kuzunchi was still hit on a couple of places. With a small growling noise Hotoka looked to where the real Kuzunchi stood when all fo a sudden even more Kuzunchi's surrounded him. With a quick couple of handseals Hotoka shunshined away and ended up close to the ground, hiding behind a bush. As he saw all of his clones being pierced by the senbon Hotoka got a small grin of his face, a bit relieved that he wasnt standing there. As he now lost track of Kuzunchi he suddenly heard him saying something. He had all those months to become a strong shinobi and still he doesnt knows that you shouldnt make noise.. Tsh.. As he now had an idea where Kuzunchi was he still kept himself low, watching every single movement the clones made while using the cloak of invisibility to stay hidden.

[kajou]

Masa slowly watched the battle from afar, and had started crawling towards a bush when he saw Kuzunchi attempt to behead Hotoka. He luckily had crawled right to were Hotoka had shunshined by coincidence. Slowly, he crept up behind him, not making a sound.

''Hello Hotoka.'' said Masa. He had been observing the battle all along he wasn't dead at all! He was standing behind Hotoka, aiming a kunai at his back. Kuzunchi saw Masa and guessed he was near Hotoka. He threw a senbon towards were he thought Hotoka was, then jumped into the trees so he could be unseen, watching Masa and Hotoka.

[hotoka]

Even though Hotoka's plan was to shunshin behind a bush, he saw the other boy whom he hit crawling and figuring he was his enemy as he defended Kaj against several lightningbolts and it was a wonder he could still stand. But instead of shunshining towards the bush Hotoka shunshined behind the boy and without a warning or even making a noise, he slammed his claws at the boys neck, most likely giving out a massive shock and directly gave a kick with his knee at the boys back after that. Before even checking if the boy was alive or not he turned himself around and was now with his back towards a tree, making sure he wasnt attacked from behind.

[kajou]

Kuzunchi watched in awe as Masa was eletrocuted by Hotoka, then kicked in the back. Seeing Hotoka turn, Kuzunchi took his chance and jumped from the tree, flying towards him. As he did so, he pulled a smoke grenade from Masa's pouch as he landed on the ground. He threw it to the floor and as the smoke began to blind him and Hotoka, he stepped forwards and closed his umbrella around Hotoka's neck, then went to slash it across him, to be-head him. He was lucky that it would be near impossible for Hotoka to avoid this, as he had done it at his highest speed, which was very fast, and Hotoka had most likely been temporarily blinded by the grenade, although the same went for Kuzunchi, even though he had placed his umbrella around Hotoka's neck before the smoke had fully covered the area.

[hotoka]

As Kuzunchi jumped near the dead body Hotoka directly changed to his usual stance and the moment he thought Kuzunchi would attack, he threw a smoke grenade instead. Hotoka couldnt see anything and figured Kuzunchi couldnt either. But all of a sudden something closed, most likely the umbrella and giving giant cuts in Hotokas arm, who shouted out in pain. In the small moment of shouting he did grabbed his dagger, gave a small twist on the end of the handle and threw it towards where the umbrellas stick went to. As the smokescreen was still there it would be close to impossible to dodge, just like the Kunai, wrapped with 12 exploding tags. The luck for him was that when his arm got hit, the charge of his other claw was given away, giving Hotoka enough time to escape from the umbrella, duck down and shunshin away, still having extreme pains in his arm which was now close to useless. He was in a better position though, as a dagger filled with poison, a kunai, and twelve explosion tags would not only give out a massive blast (as the more explosiontags you have, the bigger the boom), but also spread the poison around (which would take effect when in touch with wounds or even gotten in ones mouth while Hotoka was hiding behind a rock to not get hit with his usefull arm trying to defend himself.

[kajou]

The claw protecting Hotoka's head sent an electrical current tnrough Kuzunchi's umbrella, which numbed his arm as he was sent flying back into the air, throwing the umbrella behind him. On the bright side, this did help him escape the kunai's that had been flung at him, which landed and exploded, Kuzunchi getting hit by the explosion, which poisoned him a little. On the bright side, he knew the explosion was so big, Hotoka would be hit and poisoned too.

Kuzunchi waited for the smoke to clear then grabbed Masa's pouch and pocketed it, kunai and all. He hadn't seen were Hotoka had gone, so he sat by a tree and awaited an attack. He had heard Hotoka yell in pain earlier, so he had guessed he had done some damage. Kuzunchi continued to wait calmly for another attack, and he knew Hotoka had used a lot of jutsu, one being a B-Rank, meaning that, for a gennin, that would take up a lot of chakra.

[hotoka]

As Hotoka secretly peeked over the rock he saw that almost the entire area was leveled exept for the couple of rocks standing there. Lucky as Hotoka was that he picked one of those he could still feel a bit of the poison in him. Maybe the poison was a bit too much.. He thought as he did his best not to cough. But he was pretty sure he hit Kuzunchi as he was standing close to the body of Masa, meaning that he at least inhaled the smoke and defeneatly got the poison on his wounds. He would get the effects any second now and they were going to be severe, saying from the look of Kuzunchi. With the last of his chakra he created a bunshin behind another rock, who looked just like Hotoka, all beaten up with blood over his entire body and close to crawling. It would be done in such a way that it would look like he tried to get away without getting seen. Hotoka himself, even though in alot of pain, was still on guard and holding his arm in such a way that he could still use it in a quick action, waiting for Kuzunchi to get the effects.

[kajou]

Kuzunchi could feel his heart beginning to go weird, as he looked up at Hotoka. ''We're both done for...I see...HOOOARR!'' he said, coughing blood everywhere. He looked up at Hotoka and nodded goodbye, as he lay down, ready to die.

[hotoka]

Hotoka walked up to Kuz, trying to plant his claw right through his spine. After that he stood up and dragged him with him to Masa's body, which he tried to impale and drag with him as well. After a couple of minutes walking, which seemed like hours, Hotoka finally started to realize.. He killed two people. He siriously killed them. As these thoughts hunted through his head he finally reached the gate, after wich he fell down on his knees and was catched up by one of the shinboi standing on guard. After Hotoka managed to blur out some parts of the story he started coughing up blood and his vision became completely blurry, only to faint seconds later...

[kajou]

Kuzunchi's thoughts in his last moments alive, were merely.

''I just wish...I could have lived for a little longer...''

Hotoka wrenched out his spine and the rest of his body fell limp to the floor, blood spraying everywhere.
