Matters of the heart. (Death Enabled) (Invite Only)

[Starnaess]

The twins arrived after a long journey to the country of fire - they wanted to explore it as much as possible - checking out everything and making great memories. As the days passed and they kept adventuring, sleeping in a decent place was a hard thing to come by, so they had to sleep outside most of the time. However - on some fortunate days they would stumble upon a tavern and stay there for the night, getting a good night of sleep aswell as a good meal and perhaps even a good laugh with the people living there.

The days seemed to pass very quickly for they w ere enjoying it very much, but something was missing - they had been travelling so far that they d idnt really have had a chance to train or fight in a while - and that was what they were craving. One day, however, as they entered a tavern they would stumble upon this wierd note on a board near its entrance. There wasnt much written on it but the title caught their interest - it was called "A Good Death".

"6 Am" and  the information to reach a location in the forest not very far from the tavern was all that was written on it.  It was a challange , apparently someone was looking for a fight and the twins  just couldnt say no. As they ripped the letter from the board Caela would put it into her pocket and first thing in the morning they would head there together with her sister to see what was going on.

The night passed faster than ever before, and as if it had just been a couple of minutes it was morning. They immediatly headed toward the location described on the letter...

[Deleted]

It was a hot and dry day, with a blue sky and few clouds, flowers where beginning to bloom, birds where singing there melodies, and dogs where barking at random people on the street, Tamotsu's family was getting the house ready for visitors, as his mother wanted to have her friends over for dinner that night, Tamotsu himself however, was walking through the woods once again wanting to get away from the crowded streets of Konoha, and was on his way to train on his own.

Today however, training was not the sole reason for wanting to go into the forest, neither was wanting to get away from all the noise and the stress of his home, today he was looking for a fight, he wouldn't normally leave a letter at a tavern saying that he was looking for a fight, but recently he found that he was becoming more and more eager for a challenge, he wanted more and more to test his abilities against a real person, as he kept on walking through the forest, he would soon reach a clearing, which was the planned meeting area.

The clearing was extremely large, the trees formed an almost perfect circle around the clearing, from both north to south and east to west it was only a bit more then 100 meters, the valley was dotted only by a large lake near the west side of the field and a few trees which where scattered around, Tamotsu would sit at the north end of the clearing with his legs crossed and wait for his opponent to arrive.

[Starnaess]

It didnt take long before the twins reached the described location - a beautiful clearing right in the middle of the forest accompanied by a nearby lake and the sound of birds - it made the perfect scenery for a battle. As the twins begun looking around while walking - they noticed a figure ahead of them all the way to the other side of the clearing, as they walked in toward such figure they would begin to discern who that figure actually was.

A white haired man, sitting, with his legs crossed on top of a small rock. He looked very young and from what they could tell he wasnt very tall either. His pale skin matching his hair made him look very peculiar. As the twins stepped in closer they would stop roughly 30 meters away from him they would raise their hands showing the letter from the tavern. They were sporting the usual family cloak - a beautifully white woven cloak with red flowers spread throughout it - paired together with the leather gloves and boots they wear daily. In their bag they didnt carry much but a couple of kunais each.

The twins  were intrigued by the letter, so much so that they immediatly spoke to the man "We came here because of this" said the twins with their voices echoing on one another as Caela wave the letter left and right. They could tell there was tension in the air - after all the letter didnt give a very happy vibe.  They didnt know what to expect but an imminent fight. "If you are looking for a good death - we can give it to you" finished the twins with a serious look on their face. They were ready.

[Deleted]

Tamotsu would sit quietly, waiting for his challenger to arrive, he didn't really know for sure that one would though, after all there was no guarantee that anyone had even seen the letter, frankly he was beginning to suspect that nobody would even show up at all, he was about to consider heading back when a figure came out of the woods, he couldn't see them very well from such a distance, but as they came closer he realised it was a girl.

As she came closer, she came to a stop, she was holding a letter in her hand, presumably the one Tamotsu had left in the tavern, his assumption was confirmed when she stated why she was there while waving the letter up in the air, Tamotsu would stare at the twins a bit confused though, he sure wasn't expecting a girl to get a hold of the letter. "You huh?...no offense but, I'm not to enthusiastic about fighting a girl to the death, but whatever, you'll have to do." Tamotsu would quickly start weaving hand seals, he wasn't exactly all that eager to win in all honesty but he didn't want to lose to someone weak, he took a deep breath and shot out a rapid powerful blast of wind from his mouth aimed at the opponent, he wanted to see how she would react.

The white haired man didnt seem like the talkative type for he , without a second thought, attacked the twins with some sort of wind jutsu. From waht they could tell it didnt seem very strong but they were not the kind of person to underestimate an opponent or their jutsus. Just like usual, the twins immediatly split , so to avoiding the frontal wind jutsu - Calynn going to the left side and Caela onto the right side trying to flank their opponent.

Just like that a fight to the death had begun. The twins were not  scared of it , in fact their adrenaline started to pump making them more and more excited to be there, as they were running to flank their opponent both of their facial features would begin to turn into that of a beast, boosting their speed even further, Calynn would boost her adrenaline even further adding yet another level to her speed, they were not messing around.

Calynn ,as she kept running to flank ,would begin with a fast  series of handseals creating a huge mud field all in front of her covering a huge area. Her sister on the other sie, would use the mud to create thirty two clones made of just that, mud. As they sprouted from the huge field they would begin to run toward their enemy and attack him.

That was odd, the woman wasnt even responding to Tamotsus technique, did she not see it? Or was she hoping to take the hit to show how tough he was? Tamotsu believed it was most likely one of those two options when suddenly, the woman split into two, had it been a clone? It didn't matter, Tamotsu obviously didn't have time to think about that, the two figures where both running near the far sides of the forest, as they neared Tamotsu, one of them started weaving hand seals and turned the ground into mud, while the other created countless clones apparently using the mud.

In this situation, Tamotsu now had a few dozen mud clones coming from his left, but only one person coming from the left, which was also the direction to where a large lake was located, Tamotsu thought he could use that to his advantage, but then he realised it might be better to escape the attack by running forwards, so while the twins where still a fair distance away, Tamotsu started quickly weaving hand seals and jumped forwards at a high speed, so he wouldn't be able to land very easily, but while he was still in the air, he started weaving more hand seals and created an air ball in front of him so that he wouldn't injure himself in the landing.

After he was safely on the ball of air and gone about ten meters forward, he dispersed it and turned around, he then wove hand seals creating sakurai petals around him. He would then wait for the opponents move.

Wind Technique: Wind Jump
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Releasing a jet of air from the users legs allows her/him to reach greater heights (Twenty Plus Meters, Depending on Training)
Special: Handseals
Drawback: The user had best mark their target well for a missed landing could result in a nasty fall. Also, if intending to increase the power of an attack, the user best hope they aren’t thrown off balance or miss their target (which would inevitably throw them off balance as well as they try come to a stop) as they could end up being seriously hurt.
Description: Allows the user to reach greater heights by combining chakra and the wind element; releasing the combo via the lower legs just before the user launches into the air. It’s difficult to perform as it requires precise timing along with an understanding of how to mix chakra with an element. The user can jump to a max of twenty meters at C rank level with an added five meters per C rank training. The user can also attempt to use it to rush in for an attack but it's ill-advised due to the drawbacks stated above.
Limit: Wind Release

Futon: Eatama
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a ball of air about the size of a beach ball. It does no damage but is useful for sitting on and escaping from a dangerous situation quickly. This ball is also handy as while riding it you can ride up walls, ceilings, water, hot ground and cold ground without harm.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: Really None
Description: The user quickly performs the simple handseals, horse then serpent then extends there hand under there palm extended as almost instantaneously, air forms into a ball under them. They can then sit on the ball and scoot away quickly or ride it across hostile terrain or up steep cliffs.
Limit: Must have Wind Release. The ball continues to use chakra as long as it remains active but only a small amount, two points of chakra per turn.

Raiton: Sakurai, 雷光: 丹色 木 雷光, (Lightning Style: Cherry Blossom Lightning)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user creates a mass of blue-white lightning petals.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: Not a complete technique, but a set-up for others.
Description: The user forms the hand seals, focusing chakra around them. They then mold the chakra into several hundred blue-white sakura petals of lightning in a three-meter radius around the user, like the Sand of a Saton user. These petals float gently around the user’s body. Each one gives out minor shocking, but together they can give strong shocks and burns akin to a C rank shock. The petals last until the user chooses to dispel them. The user can control these techniques in a fifteen meter radius around them.
Limit: Must have Raiton.

The white haired man made his choice, and a smart one at that - instead of facing the numerous clones head on he opted to gain distance by jumping high and far away from his initial spot. Not any jump, it clearly had to be boosted by some sort of chakra technique for he waved a few signs before doing it. While in the air more signs followed and brought him on top of an air bubble he himself had just created. The twins were intrigued by the man's techniques and tactics.

However, even after the man created petal flowers made out of lightning, a technique well known to them for they had  seen it from their dojo friends, he still had to deal with the thirty two mud clones the sisters had previously made. The distance between the man and the twins was still roughly 20 meters for the jump kept them away from eachother. Since the twins were familiar with such technique, they knew about its range limitations - they didnt know just how far the man had trained such technique but they were not going to risk it.

With the clones ready for action, the twins gave them the order to  spread out and attack the man from many different directions. If they were to come in contact with the man they would try to hit him with kick and punches or even attempt to jump on him and subdue him if the occasion presented itself. If the man kept flying higher in the air the clones were to remain alert for any of his movements.

The twin took this moment to weave a few more jutsus while the clones were charging. Calynn decided to use a jutsu she had grown very  fond of. After being done with the handseals the very soil around her begun to lift up and turn into fifty swords all spread around her. If all the clones were to be eliminated or being unable to reach the man she would open up several gates behind her, pulling all the weapons created into the air , aiming at their opponent and beginning to make them fire toward him. Regardless of if the weapons ever hit the opponent - if they ever got close to him she would make them unstable creating a debris explosion in a one meter range

 Caela, instead opted for something different. First she decided to split her soul in half creating a second copy of herself who would stand back and begin to sprout wings from her back. Then , right after she would wait for the clones to reach the man, and if they were to get close enough she would make them explode.

Drawback: Counts as five uses of Counterfeit Projection, cannot function in environments without ready access to soil and stone.
Description: A ninjutsu which does not require the forming of hand seals, though an equivalent amount is still deducted from a user's chakra and hand seals per round. By spreading their chakra across the landscape at a radius of 5 meters per Difficulty Class of the user, they are able to formulate as many as dozens of Semblance Forge weapons from a variety of Weapon Overviews and with semi-random aesthetics all at once. These weapons number equal to the user's knowledge of Doton Senbon Soushi no Jutsu (Earth Senbon Creation Technique) at maximum. This technique cannot be used to stab, slash, or otherwise impale an opponent as the weapons are generated, as they rise with the safest location to hold pointed up. As usual, five Light Weapons are equal to one One- or Two-Handed weapon, and one Oversized weapon is equal to three One- or Two-Handed weapon.

Drawback: Considered ten uses of Counterfeit Projection
Description: A ninjutsu which does not require the forming of hand seals, though an equivalent amount is still deducted from a user's chakra and hand seals per round. Through absolute mastery of the Semblance Forge techniques, the user is able to levitate all of the soil, stone, and minerals that compose their faked weaponry into the sky as rippling discs from which the weapons form. This creates the imagery of a series of gates or portals stacked vertically into the air, with various weapons all pointed directly where the user desires. A mental command, a slight twist in the chakra giving everything form, is all it takes to begin raining blades at a rate of up to one weapon per movement per class level. These weapons travel at the speed of a thrown kunai, and have the same damage as other Semblance Forged weapons. With additional training, the chakra that binds these weapons can be made to detonate on impact after being fired from the Gate for an additional 20 Armor Points of Explosive Damage in a one-meter range. By sacrificing additional uses of Counterfeit Projections, the user gains an additional five weapons to their Infinity Gate per use, allowing them to maintain the barrage over a longer period. As long as the Infinity Gate remains in play, no other abilities involving chakra may be used.
Limit: Must know Semblance Forge: The Hill of Swords, must have 500 Training Points in Semblance Forge techniques.

Almost as soon as Tamotsu had created his sakurai petals, the twins commanded their clones to attack from both sides, Tamotsu simply stayed completely still observing as the clones came closer, he showed no reaction of change in expression whatsoever to one of the twins creating a strange clone, or to the other one creating dozens of swords out of nothing, Tamotsu simply observed, as the mud clones drew nearer, he figured he could neutralize them with an attack powerful enough since their element was vulnerable to lightning.

Tamotsu again started weaving hand seals and stopped on the ram seal holding it, just as one was about to get near enough to hit him, the sakurai petals quickly joined together and formed a huge tornado of sakurai petals in a 15 meter radius around Tamotsu, he knew that with this Technique he would destroy most if not all of the mud clones.

[Skulking Shinzu]

There was no mention of reacting to Semblance Forge: Infinity Gate, so it can be assumed that the swords broke through Tamotsu's Raiton: Sakurai Yaiba Gyakujo. Since he stood still throughout the entire Jutsu, it's reasonable that 1-2 of the swords hit (drag3842 can decide how many and where they hit). Starnaess can either decide to continue using Semblance Forge: Infinity Gate for more movements or swap to another attack. Either way, after Tamotsu takes damage, he has the ability to react.

[Starnaess]

Lightning mud and dirt were the main ingredients that led The white haired man to not  see the swords coming toward his way and then being hit by them. Even though, with his lightning jutsu he did indeed manage to kill all the mud clones. With this succesful attack the twins smiled as their tactic was proven efficient. They decided, since it proved effective once, that it might prove just as effective again and so that is exactly what they did. The sword barrage kept going firing multiple swords toward their opponent's way, if he decided to stand still where he was - he would be hit once again. With Calynn firing swords through the gates four more would be flying toward the aired man , leaving 50 swords on the ground and 2 more ready to be shot through the gates.

Caela, instead - decided to make use of the 50 swords previously created and , together with her soul's clone that was what they were going to do. Just like black water pouring from every of their pores , a multitude of wires were coming out of their bodies - meters upon meters of black metallic wires were spreading on the ground and grabbing onto the swords her sister created. with Caela grabbing 25 for herself and her clone grabbing the other 25 , they begun throwing them as they kept their distance from their sister - roughly 30 meters away from eachother.

Tamotsu's technique had been successful, he actually managed to destroy all the mud clones, however, just as he lowered the sakurai leaves, he was hit by a sword that had come flying out of nowhere, hitting him and sending him back a few meters "Ugh...that hurt..." Tamotsu then got up a bit dizzy, but he had no time for this now, he had to fight until his last breath, he figured he could do more damage by attacking the one that was alone, rather then attacking the two others, so he created 2 clones out of water, before Creating 16 mist clones, after that, he and all of the clones charged towards calynn at once, as they neared her, three of them would would proceed with getting near calynn to attack, they would try to be careful and attempt to avoid getting hit by the swords, one would attempt to attack from her side with a basic punch, while another would attack from her back with a basic punch as well, if that is, they managed to reach calynn, meanwhile, Tamotsu would start weaving hand seals, thunder clouds started forming in the sky, and a bolt of lightning would strike where Calynn was standing.

Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone.

It wasn't stated where Tamotsu was hurt from the attack 2 posts ago, so in situations like these Starnaess can decide within reason.

That being said, while Tamotsu's Mist Clones did dodge the 54 incoming swords from the most recent post, it wasn't mentioned anywhere that Tamotsu attempted to dodge them. Since Starnaess's last post specifically mentioned that all the swords will be aimed at where Tamotsu is standing, Starnaess can decide how many hit since Tamotsu hasn't moved from his original spot.

Edit: Missed the part where Tamotsu did attempt to dodge, however, with that many incoming swords and Tamotsu's limited movements, it will be impossible to dodge them all so the previous verdict stands.

[Starnaess]

Perhaps the two swords that previously hit the white haired man in both his legs caused too much damage to them for him to be unable to move - or perhaps he was running out of energy , but regardless of that the white haired man wasnt able to avoid the multitude of swords that the twins shot at him. Because of that their opponent was hit again by two more swords  - this time in his arms - most of the other swords missed or ended up too far away to reach the man. However, two  swords were just enough - being hit in both legs and arms it  would make running or even moving very difficult for their opponent and  weaving jutsus would be almost a miracle. The twins didnt want to kill the man, not right away anyway - and the damage he had sustained would most likely keep him in place giving them plenty of time to deal with the nuisance he had just thrown at them.

The tactic of the white haired man was rather straight forward , focus on the isolated target - however, being alone doesnt mean being vulnerable . The multitude of clones that came toward  Calynn did indeed reach her and managed to attack her , however they would find that every attempt  at doing  so would actually go through her. On top of that, Right before getting hit by the swords, their creator managed a final jutsu. With black clouds forming above Calynn , lightning would strike at her place and just like the clones, they would miss their intended target, they did however find something to hit - his own clones. Since the target of the jutsu was the same as the clones they would find eachother in the same place getting shocked by their master's attack.

With nothing standing in their way and with their opponent on the ground - Calynn casually walked out of that mess.As  she headed toward the severly injured man she Gave signs to her sister to follow her. They would meet up around the man with Caela proceeding to literally wrap HIM up with her wires , making sure he couldnt move an inch unless they wanted him to.

Unless the man had some miraculous aces up his unmoving sleeves, this fight would come to an end. The twins, if succesful with all the above would make sure he wouldnt die before they were done with him and if necessary they would even heal him with their medical jutsus.

As Tamotsu weaved his final jutsu, getting hit by the swords in his arms and legs, he knew that even if the attack hit the woman, he had no chance of winning at this point, as he fell to the ground not being able to move, he also knew that even if all hope was lost, he would keep on struggling till his last breath, of course now, both his Taijutsu and Ninjutsu where completely worthless, he wouldn't be able to weave a single hand seal in this state, and Genjutsu was most probably even more ridiculous, he could barely move, much less throw a kick or punch.

As he was now immobilized, the two twins both walked over to him casually with there guard down, not that Tamotsu could put that to his advantage now though, as they approached, one of them performed a jutsu that wrapped Tamotsu in strange wire's, now he couldn't even dream of moving, not at this point, when his arms started going numb, one of the twins used some kind of medical jutsu on him, which helped a bit, however the swords where still nudged into his limbs keeping it from healing much, after all he was still bleeding way to much and soon, he wouldn't even feel his arms or legs.

[Starnaess]

With their opponents now unable to move the twins had a chance to exchange a few words with the man. "It was a good fight, worthy of a good death - what is your name?" The twins wanted to know the name of the man they were about to kill, they knew that even though he would die - his existence would prove invaluable to them for his very life essence , his heart, would be fueling them forever.  With Calynn watching their surroundings for  anything out of the ordinary , keeping guard - Caela would first  wait for the man's name before beginning the element  sealing jutsu. With her heart pouring onto the man, they would focus over his chest  area and wrapping it up tighter than before. A few selected wires would begin to pierce the man's skin avoiding any vital organs. While painful this process wouldnt last very long and its sole purpose was for the wires to  wrap around the man's heart completly.

A delicate procedure that required full concentration from Caela, s he didnt want to kill him before she had to severe the heart from his chest. As she felt a good grip ov er his heart she was ready for the next step.

Although one of the twins had healed him slightly, it wouldn't add to many moments to his life with him in this state, the swords where still keeping the cut open and blood was gushing out rather quickly, his view was blurring more and more with each passing moment, just then, one of the twins would look him in the eyes and tell him that he had been a worthy opponent before asking for his name, Tamotsu was rather shocked at the words uttered from the woman's mouth, although there where 2 of them, only one of them really needed to put in any sort of effort, he was also surprised that the woman asked of his name, whether he won or lost fights, his opponents did not normally ask of such a thing, neither did much of anyone ask for that matter.

He figured he would tell the woman who he was, he had no particular reason not to, and so, as he opened his mouth to speak, he would reply with a faint, yet quite understandable tone "My...my name is Tamotsu...of the Senju Clan" These where the last words Tamotsu would ever utter, just then, just as he finished his sentence, the woman would begin wrapping the wires even tighter around Tamotsu's chest.

In his final moments of breath, as the pain had already faded and he could no longer feel his limbs, no longer having any assurance that his arms and legs where even attached at this points, he took a moment to wonder how his life would have been if only he had survived this fateful encounter, would he really have become strong? Would he really become what he had always aspired to be when he was young? Now he would never know, nobody would, in a certain way, it was arrogance that lead him to this situation, he asked for a fight he knew he most likely wouldn't survive, but at the same time, he believed that he could do it, there was really no reason to keep thinking about that now though, and that was the final thought he would ever have, because it was that moment when he lost consciousness, his eyes where still opened, showing that his will was still clinging to life, unluckily for Tamotsu, willpower alone was not enough to win a fight.

[Starnaess]

"Tamotsu... We will remember your name" As she said that Caela noticed the man had fainted from the exhaustion and the wounds they had inflicted upon his body during their fight. This would be their very first kill, an important moment in their life for it would shape their very core forever. Caela, intent on finishing her jutsu, she kept opening tamutsu's chest with her wires, spreading so far apart that you could clearly see his beating heart.
She ha d to be careful for she did not want to damage it, but she also had to be quick for they didnt have much time before the heart becomes unusable.

With a swift movement of her wires, caela begun  cutting its sides to facilitate the extractions, and after a brief moment - it was completly detatched from its owners body. The second part of the jutsu had beed succesful

[Starnaess]

With the heart now detatched, she had mere seconds to insert it into one of its masks. As the heart beat kept fading and fading, once detatched it halted completly. As she took off her shirt , showing four masks on her back, just one of them - the top left, begun to unsew showing a hole right behind the mask. A hole big enough for their newly acquired heart. It didnt take long for Caela to bring Tamotsu's heart into her own chest. As she sealed it off behind the mask once again, she begun to interact with it internally.

Her wires would wrap around it and slightly pierce it on its extremities connecting it to her chakra system and wire body. This was done in just a few seconds for  she had previously trained this technique to be as fast and efficient as possible. The jutsu went well and the heart was inside of her , attached to her chakra system. Now all they had to do was test it.

They didnt know what element this heart would be yet, they had seen tamotsu weave lightning and wind jutsu but thye didnt know which one was the heart's element. Infusing it with a massive quantity of charka was rather easy for Caela - after all the heart was now being supplied by her chakra system.

As that happened, she could feel it just as if that new heart was her original one. Just like spawns, they light up the heart completly - she couldnt  see it but she could definetly feel it, lightning was the element.

With the transfer succesfully completed - they now had to  get rid of the body, and with the help of her sister they begun to bury it in the forest. The twins were done with this chapter of their life, ready to begin their new one - they went back to the tavern to rest.
