The mountains spring

[Deleted]

Shiki was on the move again. He had heard rumors of a kraken that was found off the southern most part of the land of thunder. To get there he was going to have to walk through the mountain pathway that led to the port where he could start his hunt. He was bringing everything with him of course. Wearing his full set of perfected obdernium and mithral armor. His two swords hanging on his back he stood out from other travelers like a sore thumb. The armor itself was fitted exactly to his skin and not as cumbersome as some thicker armor styles. It was light enough where his travel cloak could still fit around him without much of an issue. Each half pouch of the cloak was filled with some sort of item. Glowsticks, handwarmers, knives, chakra ration pills and rolls of explosive tags just to name a few. 

Across his chest plate were two bandoleers each filled with explosives of various varieties. Some of them he made himself, some of them he simply bought at the store. Across his arm was a chakra seal for suns renewal seal. But that was impossible to see to the naked eye due to his perfected stormium gauntlets and leggings. In each gauntlet was a perfected crossbow pistol. One Cashew and other oak. Each one had a several clips of ammunition of various types that were stored away inside of his gear. His legs each had 2 pouches on them that were full of his clockwork explosives that were each loaded with venom from an eldersnake. He carried a bag of several magic harness gems and several of them were loaded into his armor themselves. 

His helmet was tied to his hip as he moved. He didn't want to over heat in his armor so wearing the helm off let him enjoy the breeze. The helmet itself was packed with a full visor system, gas mask, rebreather and a radio system. Around his hips were a belt full of scrolls. Several of them contained instant summoning rituals for several of the various items he didn't carry on hand. Braces of knives and shuriken were all over his carrying vest and his loaders as well.

[Hoarfrost Imp]

The Land of Thunder was interesting enough, the way the weather seemed to cool as she traveled the high lands, running into practically no soul along the way though. Very secluded.

With the legendary Tessaiga, Bursendo and her twin short swords the tano and Kopis at her side she also sported a dual cryo/pyro Katana with an enhancement switch that turned between the two.

Along this way she had out her compass, reading it's where abouts with the map of the area and the village of cloud marked on it's papers with distinct inkage, the last of her troupe between Mayu, Rahael and Draven to have had one since their journey into the village. Oh how long ago it had been... so terribly long ago. It was on this journey she reflected on her life, on everything she'd done under the banner and name of Oto, how it made her who she was and yet made it impossible to live with. The two halves of the whole warring inside her.

She didn't have a place in a world of peace anymore, not not not when... there was a chance at peace. Too young she'd been when she killed that man from Leaf, that crew in Grass, the team from Stone she almost eliminated as well, placing the blame on entirely different villages to keep tensions rife.

The warrior in her bore these like badges of honor but the young child in her who had to stain it's hands couldn't forget their faces. Too many deaths. Far, far too many. So it was up on this mountain pass she caught glimpse of a soul on the opposite side of the walking path, her sound headband long gone, left with the village but her robes still sported the massive musical note on it's shoulders. He seemed well stocked and it was fair to argue it was either a bold statement to head hunters to try their luck or comfort in knowing these lands and being a product of their fruits and labors.

Either would suffice for her needs today.

"Excuse me!" She called over quickly, pink hair in the breeze, high cheek bones raised even higher by her tall albeit genuine smile and the way she held out her map and compass. "Would you happen to know the way to Kumogakure, the Village hidden in Cloud? I have a formal request I wish granted by the Raikage there, Raikou." It HAD been years since she'd been back but there was no way for her to know if he was still in charge or not let alone alive. Considering even Mayu had given up the seat as Kage to the majestic Varu. It was only just then it donned on her... she had no idea what had happened or become of Mayu. Or Draven. Shame.

It they were dead she'd be the last of their little group and, hopefully, see them in whatever waited beyond this world. Unnerving how ready she was for it.

Shiki paused as he watched the woman approach. Shiki was a bit leery of obviously foreign ninja trying to find his way to the secret ninja village of course. Even small things like the current state of the leadership of the village was rather private information. Shiki would activate his blood limit just to get a faint understanding of the gear and equipment she was carrying. Interesting. Her sword was not a standard metal. It was totally above the influence of his bloodlimit much like his Tokihaga. 

"Hail traveler." Shiki said as he approached. He waved his gauntleted hand towards her. He listened to her ask the question and spoke plainly. "I do Ma'am however I'm afraid to tell you some poor news." Shiki looked at the woman with his sapphire eyes. She was a Hyuuga for sure. "Marii Kazeriakou is now the Kage of Kumogakure. If you wish to gain entry to the city im afraid you must travel to Enrai and beseech her through a letter." Shiki would offer for a moment. "My name is Shiki Senri, the white wolf and chuunin of Kumogakure. Perhaps I may be able to help you with what information you are seeking?

[Hoarfrost Imp]

Displeasure creased her lips and brow. Another warrior of the warring age retired to the wayside for this world of peace. She was a relic here among the modern era of ninja.

"I see, well..." She cleared her throat, rolling up the map and tapping it in her palm. "You see, I've come a mighty far way from the land of the Rice Fields to speak with the only man who'd been cocky enough to deny the might of the Sound Village. During a time when warriors meant control and power, Oto was the King of the Hill and it was only by another man who understood this and rallied warriors to his side, that understanding was born. He denied us only because he too had the warriors to do so."

With a shift in her posture she prepared to walk past this singular ninja, this one instance of the Cloud Village and on to the heart of it's being, to wait out where she knew she would not be tolerated.

"Since the land ha grown peaceful there is no need for people like myself who only know the need for war and strife. There was purpose being our blades but no longer. My time is short and precious and I do not have time for political politeness." She began her trudging steps, her hands empty and her eyes blinking, chakra surging, the gift of her birth opening the world to a whole new line of understanding. She saw chakra in it's rawest forms, free flowing energy.

"I will simply sit outside the gates of Kumo and await a warrior like myself, a dying breed who wishes to sharpen their teeth if only one more time. I'll keep fighting till I find the one I am looking for or perish in the act as my honor dictates. If it not be you I'd suggest not bothering to step in my way, my needs are urgent."

The statis stasis of his electric field brought back an age old memory of the man Gohan, the leader of The Village Hidden in the Mist, if he was still alive or ruling and not fallen to the wayside much like Raikou had. His jutsu manipulated chakra to exude this static field, he'd know her equipment and she'd know he couldn't control it long as it was upon her person. Where would that lead them now? Would he be the one to make her feel alive again if even for a breath?

Eight meters between her and her conversing partner since he'd paused and she'd began walking again.

[Deleted]

Shiki felt a smile cross his face. "A noble warrior seeks to die with their sword in arm rather then in their bed." Shiki smiled as looked at her. "Look no further warrior. I Shiki Senri, Storm born and White Wolf of Kumogakure shall be your opponent. I am the strongest ninja of my village and I will give you this fight you seek. I simply ask should you win this gambit against me you do not harass my village or it's people." Shiki pulled his blade outwards to reveal Tokihaga. It's blade came alive as bright blue lightning chakra smiled happily along it. "Warrior please tell me your name so I may know the name of who's steel i'm about to cross swords with."

If the player’s difficulty class is under the jutsu’s rank, they will be paralyzed for a post. Users with classes over the jutsu rank will remain unaffected.
Drawback: Works only when the user is alive and with chakra still pumping in their system.
Description: If another attempts to touch any part of the swordt, they will receive a bad shock until they let go. Perfect for preventing sword theft.

Special: Shocking value is determined by a correlation of the jutsu’s rank and the player’s difficulty class.

If the victim’s class is one above the rank, they will be paralyzed for one post, without speed loss. If the victim is two ranks above the jutsu’s rank, they merely suffer speed loss for one turn. For every rank the victim’s class is under the jutsu, an extra paralyzing turn is added. Speed loss is always half, regardless of rank. Chakra draining rate is the same as the user's best ‘Chakra Absorption’ technique, without actually needing to activate the extra jutsu.
Drawback: Items and surfaces that don’t conduct electricity will not be affected.

Additionally, any metallic item, or item that can conduct lightning that comes in contact with the blade will received an immediate shock. Extensive parrying against Tokihaga will leave the opponent drained of chakra, a product of the blade's curse scripted on its side.

She stopped and marked the distance. Eight meters.

"Shiki Senri. I'v enever heard of you before but I accept this challenge of yours. If you truly are the strongest of your village... then I will have no reason to continue my pilgrimage there and my greatest fears will have been realized."

With his mighty weapon drawn she looked it over, him over, scanning his body for the chakra flow and deducing simply he fed into it and that being cut BY it was simply unacceptable. "Shini Senri, I am Rahael Hyuuga, The All-Seeing Eye of Otogakue. It will be my greatest honor to live or die by the edge of your blade." This is where the world shifted and the universe revolved around two individuals prepared to lock steel and wits, her hand wandering to the hilt of her binary Katana.

Her thumb fingered a switch but didn't flick it quite yet. "No matter the outcome" She saw his smile and saw herself reflected in it, spilling the blood of all those in the name of Oto, unable to put it behind her that these were orders, that she hadn't enjoyed it, "I'll spend my last breaths remembering the name of a warrior."

With his blade drawn and hers upon it's hilt at the sheathe she drove forward, feet pounding earth, eating up the distance between them. The Katana sheathe lay on her left hip, ready to defend her honor. She ate up the separation and stutter stepped he left, immediately spinning to the right on her back heel to whip a flash of an overhead slash, thumb prepared to flick the switch on of her binary katana.

Nothing flashy. Simply two swords prepared to clash. She was well aware of the static field, the flow of chakra. They'd deal with it when the time came.

[Deleted]

Shiki watched closely. He was unable to manipulate her weapon but he could still sense it. More importantly it meant that he was able focus more of his eyes watching her footwork. Shiki readied himself as well. He refused to be the one on the defensive. with his sword cocked outwards to the right he twisted his weapon at the wrists and spun it around with a over the top flourish. As the first slash moved towards him he widened his stance out parrying the first strike and twisting his blade around once more to block the second slash. She was fast and Shiki was getting a pretty good read at the quality of swordwoman she was. He focused on watching the blades projected path and started to move to anticipate the attack. There was a resounding clash of steel as the blades connected. This is where the Magic of the Tokihaga would work. With each collision of the blades sparks would shoot out as the Tokihaga would start to sap her chakra from her towards Shiki. It wouldn't be much or crippling but as the sword fight would continue on it would wear her down. 

Shiki would plant his feet and throw three quick swings towards his opponent. Shiki could be able to make several other swings but he was more interested to see how his opponent could handle his speed. The swings would be moving at 'godlike' speed. The first one would be a quick sword slash cutting upwards to her right collar bone. As the blade would swing he would suddenly end the momentum with great force raising the blade and cutting horizontally at the opponents hip. Then moving his weapon at a diagonal from the end of her hip back up from her hip to her neck.

The goal here was to make a series of attacks that would force her to block rather then move. By keeping his swings attacking at her outer edges it would reduce the chance of her dodging out of the way.

ooc: This is gonna get kinda wonky. So I use my highest chakra drain tech during contact with my blade. Which is roughly 1B rank per 6 seconds. 

Since it takes 2 D ranks to make a C rank jutsu and 2 C ranks to make a B rank jutsu. Roughly 8 D ranks are absorbed per round. Since we obviously are only touching hits ever so briefly i'm taking roughly 1D rank per moment of contact since it would be each under a second. Let me know if you think that's fair.

Name: Draining Kiss
Rank: ("C",) "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user is capable of draining chakra from a Humanoid Creature with high amounts of efficiency.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user must maintain extreme close range, sufficient for prolonged mouth-to-mouth contact.
Description: The user is able to perform this technique on the target they kiss on the mouth, and does not require the formation of physical hand seals. An equivalent amount is still deducted from the user's hand seals per round and chakra. A method of draining chakra from creatures at a high rate without losing efficiency, the user kisses a creature on the mouth while generating a vacuum effect with their chakra, absorbing an amount equal to a "B" rank for each full six seconds the kiss is maintained without losing any to the transferal process itself. When the user learns the "B" rank of this technique, they become capable of inflicting status effects through the vacuum in order to better facilitate the close contact. If the target is at least one Class Level lower than the user and fails a Will Save equal to 10 + 2 per the User's Class Level + the User's Impeccable will, the User may inflict Fascination on the target for the duration of the kiss as well as an additional six seconds per Class Level. If the target is at least two Class levels lower, the User may instead inflict Sleep for the duration as well as an additional one hour per Class Level. When the user learns the "A" rank of this technique, they may inflict Fascination on targets of equal rank, and Sleep on targets of one rank lower. When the user learns the "S" rank, they may inflict Fascination on targets up to one Class Level higher, and Sleep on targets of equal Class Level. If the user also knows Chakura Sabaki Koudo (Advanced Chakra Drain) this kiss can instead be placed anywhere on the target's body.

There where the first moments of the fight and with them she aimed to learn as they went. She expected the block, wanted it even, letting her blade clash off of his for the second time only to noticed that, by the second strike, his chakra grew before the gift of her sight, the byakugan and she felt almost nothing but the merest tug, like a string that ran into her core. This sword must have been mythical much like her own...

There wasn't any time to focus and break it down, no sooner than he'd weathered her strike and planted his feet did she slam the blade into it's sheathe and ogled his posture did the strikes ring forth. With the use of her aided sight and the teachings of her Master she flicked the switch to Pyro and stepped forward, bending at the knee to a low crouch, metal whistling by her head and shoulders but there was simply no way to avoid the third strike, the blade cutting where her hip should have been instead clipping her at the outer end of her breast and up past the collarbones, up past the neck in a clean swipe with she swept her blade across his midsections, the thermal enhancements adding their burning heat to the strike.

With the momentum of her swing she would start straight into a massive spin, whirling like a top to blow her opponent and anything, including the dirt, away from her for fifteen meter with a ten meter threat zone of knock back. This was what she wanted, countering on the offensive, pressing on her opponent to make them understand this was no mere child they faced as it had been to her advantage back during the times of war. The whole idea, her counter to his counter was the knock back. Even from the spin of rotation it was something brief, quick to displace him so she could pivot to a stop, braced on her back leg, drive the sword to it's sheathe and cut the air in front of her like a flash of lightning.

The sickle sharp wind strike would be sure to hit a sailing target without a means to pivot and dodge int he air. She'd seen no wings or means of flight but in the past she'd met far too many flying opponents to be fooled. These were the precautions she took to get her strikes in, success a hope on the horizon.

Keihatsu Ryuu: Muhyou No Jirai (Hoar Frost Thunderclap)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A low Battōjutsu used to evade mid and high strikes.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The user stands in the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture). This technique is almost exact as the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade) with some variations. As an opponent goes for a mid or high slash, the user charges forward and uses a downward step with their knee going down. The user grabs the handle of the sword near the Tsuba while their body moves down, evading the strike while the user unsheathes their blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. This is a form of a counter attack where the user takes advantage of the opponent's attack to strike them down. The user can safely evade mid and high strikes when performing. Unsheathing the blade takes no movements, however, the concentration of such a quick strike is evident; upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must know Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade).

Hakkeshou: Daikaiten (Hands of the Eight Divination: Great Whirl)
Rank: B
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: An advanced version of Hakkeshou: Kaiten, the user releases a greater amount of chakra from their tenketsu while spinning like a top, creating a defensive chakra dome of a greater size.
Special: --
Drawback: --
Description: The user begins to spin like a top, excreting chakra from their tenketsu at a much higher level than the Hakkeshou: Kaiten. This creates a dome of spinning chakra that will repel or stop Taijutsu, projectiles, and Ninjutsu of B rank or less. The radius of the giant dome is ten meters, and is capable of blowing opponents backward up to fifteen meters.
Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion. Must be a Hyuuga, Must know Hakkeshou: Kaiten, must know Jyuuken Advanced Stance, Main House Only.

Keihatsu Ryuu: Ryusen (Dragon Strike)
Rank: "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User takes a step back and cuts the air in front of them through a dimensional rift in a sphere shape.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture The user stands in the Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu no Kamae (Art of Drawing the Blade Posture). Grabbing the handle of the sword near the Tsuba, the user thereafter steps forward with the front leg while unsheathing the blade in a horizontal attacking motion across the body. So swift is this technique that it is akin to a "flash", taking no movements to perform. When striking, the user is able to use air itself to slice enemies, focusing a current of wind, to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the user launches at foes. Upon sheathing the sword, the user must sacrifice a movement to do so.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must know Keihatsu Ryuu: Battōjutsu (Art of Drawing the Blade).

One small cut was all it would take for his Tokihaga to subdue its prey. Her plan of rotating out of the swing would have worked against Shiki had he been using another sword. But the moment the blade found her flesh he whole body would be paralyzed from the massive lightning charge in his blade. She would be paralyzed for 12 seconds as her body would more then likely fall off balance and land on the floor. The cut sapped another portion of her chakra away. Had Shiki wanted to end the fight he surely could have by simply stabbing her in the throat or maintaining the current in the blade until she was drained from her chakra. Even just forcing the Tokihaga to extend at the moment of its cut would have ended her life. 

But this was a fight for honor.
It was not to be decided by a single sword swing.

Shiki would simply tap her body leaving a thief takes trace as he walked 5 meters backwards from her creating more distance. "Your instincts were not wrong. But this blade shall not remove it's teeth next time it bites! Rahael of the Hyuuga,Come stand once more and weather the storm!" Shiki held his blade outwards in one hand as he would wait for her to rise before starting combat once more. His blade still coursing bright blue would have cauterized her wound. But moving around too much would cause her to start bleeding again. 

He would spend the remaining 6 seconds watching her move as he examined her slowed speeds to see how her body would handle the shock.

Thief-Taker's Tracer
Rank: "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Thief-Taker can touch a target implanting a mental tracer to the target allowing the user to know the location of the target.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A Thief-Taker can at will, as a time length of performing a Chakra Jutsu, touch a creature or object and for 5 days per Class Level they remain aware of the distance to and direction of the target's location. User can only use one of these at any given time but they can dismiss it without sacrificing a movement. Thief-Taker often let some suspects go using this ability to trace them to their true prize, or attach them to a high-risk thief targets so they can track the object itself. Unlike most effects the target creature is unaware that it has been hit by such a technique.
Limit: Must be a Venator. Must be a Thief-Taker.

Raging Current
Rank: D, C, B, A, (S)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to send shock waves through the weapon.
Special: Shocking value is determined by a correlation of the jutsu’s rank and the player’s difficulty class. If the victim’s difficulty class is the same as the jutsu’s rank, the victim will be paralyzed for one post, and suffer a slight speed lost for the next. If the victim’s class is one above the rank, they will be paralyzed for one post, without speed loss. If the victim is two ranks above the jutsu’s rank, they merely suffer speed loss for one turn. For every rank the victim’s class is under the jutsu, an extra paralyzing turn is added. Speed loss is always half, regardless of rank. Chakra draining rate is the same as the user's best ‘Chakra Absorption’ technique, without actually needing to activate the extra jutsu.
Drawback: Items and surfaces that don’t conduct electricity will not be affected.
Description: Whenever the victim comes in any form of contact with the sword, a steady chakra connection is made, and his chakra is slowly drained. Additionally, any metallic item, or item that can conduct lightning that comes in contact with the blade will received an immediate shock. Extensive parrying against Tokihaga will leave the opponent drained of chakra, a product of the blade's curse scripted on its side.
Limit: Raiton Release, Ninjutsu Specialist, Tokihaga Wielding, Chakra Absorption Technique.

There was a moment when she thought herself clever, to take a blow and trade one but there wasn't an opening, it was a trap she hadn't thought through at all and her dull blade bared it's naked teeth. It could have been worse. Shiki was indeed of the honorable kind, permitting he rwish and the whole while she recovered the 'shock' of the idea that these were the things Kumo produced and what followed in the legacy of the mighty Raikou. This was fair on all accounts.

She just chuckled for the most part, smitten with herself, the idea she could have been bested swiftly but then again most sword fights were decided in a blink and a click of steel on bone. "I will take your mercy not for granted and make sure I don't make this same mistake twice." With the katana she wielded swapped to pyro she slid it back to it's sheathe and turned to face him fully. Thi swas the true beginning of the end of one of these warriors.

When she started it was with a godly speed of her own, taking the blade and, instead of sheathing it, slammed it's guard to the sheathe to cause an irritating ringing sound that'd stun all other personnel within 5 meters for VCQbLuft1-4 rounds with sensitive hearing, all others would suffer one full round of paralysis. This was the techniques of the old world, a flash that went faster than a blink and with the air screaming her arrival she settled into an age old stance only and only if this was the case of contact.

She would prepare the beginning, her eyes viewing past this physical world to the Hakke where yin and yang danced on a knifes edge. A thrum of adrenaline soared through her body as she boosted her insight further till her movements boosted +2 and she swung her arms forward, chakra needles penetrating like knives through paper.

Two. Four. Eight. She counted these blows in her head, her eyes focused on the chakra points in his arm, leg and the whole side of his body that the lethal weapon he was wielding was located. She aimed to shut down the entire flow of chakra in this side of his body, her arms a blur of speed and precision, the legendary gentle fist of the Hyuuga clan. She would do this to make sure she closed every point she could touch, 64 of his natural 361 chakra points aimed to be sealed.

From the moment the last finger was to touch she was back into motion, her hand on the hilt of her Tessaiga. With so much closeness between them missing was impossible and she would swipe this mystical blade edge aimed at the eyes and the bridge of the nose, her blade massive, ferocious, the wolf fang blade baring it's teeth much like this Tiny Hyuuga had. Behind her lids when she blinked she saw the men in Kusa she's blown away with this blade.

"Roar." She whispered, her blade free of it's sheathe and swiping back across the front of her vision, across at her target. This would create a massive 55 meter vortex, the ground, tress, constructs all blown away as well as hopefully her opponent. A sad wish but a wish nonetheless. Swept in the surge of adrenaline she dug her heels in...

And swung again.

Drawback: Requires six movements to perform. The opponent must be within the Hakke to perform this technique.
Description: The user visualizes the Hakke, or Divination Field, standing in the center of the ying-yang. The Hakke is about five meters in radius.

They then seal four, then eight, and so on until sixty-four tenketsu have been sealed. This causes the majority of chakra activity in the body to shut down, causing immense pain and stopping the opponent from molding their chakra. The only way to reopen the tenketsu is through medical treatment or having them unsealed by a Jyuuken user, or by an intense rush of chakra, like the Gates.
Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion. Must be a Hyuuga. Must know Jyuuken Tenketsu C Rank, must know Hakkeshou: Nankan, must know Jyuuken Advanced Stance.

Shiki was no stranger the sword technique the Hyuuga was using. Shiki had chosen this distance specifically for this reason. Stepping backwards with his own extreme speed he stepped with his left foot first and moved 1 meter behind him. Luckily the lightning that had surged through her body would have Ryutatsu had used this move on him once before and he was not one to fall for the same trick twice. Raising his Tokihaga outwards at her opponent Shiki could see the Hyuuga eyeing him.  Shiki would remain totally motionless as he waited for her advance. 

Shiki had spent the last round studying the Hyuuga. Watching her and examining her body. She moved towards him Shiki decided it was time to go for the kill. If she continued her path towards him Shiki would have already tracked her movements. She was still moving sluggish from the Tokihaga, Still traced with his powers and her metal objects all gave him an understanding of her posture, her speed. Shiki would wait for the moment she moved out to strike towards him. To anyone watching and to his opponent there would have appeared to be nothing but a bright white flash as Shiki would have attempted to cut his opponent in half with one fell swoop.

She'd been ready to jump at him, to snap her fangs and end it all in one swoop but he knew the deal, the ploy, skipping backwards out of her range at the last moments without any real reasoning behind it save for instinct and a well learned eye. So were hers. She felt taunted by the way he held his blade out and, in turn took up a low stance of her own and inched forward... closer... closer. If he was going to wait she wasn't going to be rude.

It seemed their styles were opposite, his an offensive defense while she was the overwhelming sort of offense. With the distance of their blades between them she looked for the spot she waited to strike, twisted the blade inward with it's sheathe biting against her thigh and with all her inhuman speed drew the blade with a flick of her wrist, a fraction of a blink and even if he dodged there was the counter measure.

The blade cut the air finely, like a hot knife, searing through the space between them that, even if she missed his outstretched wrist and he dodged he'd immediately be sucked in with the vacuum crated by the weight and draw of her blade. It'd likely drag him off his whole balance, a pull so strong it could drag a grown human being in and with the speed of her draw, the lack of space between them, she swept around in a second hit aimed horizontally at his neck, ready to lop his head clean from the shoulders if he was so cocky as to test her with a game of smarter blades.

The Tessaiga was massive and dwarfed many other blades. There's be no missing here.

Keihatsu Ryuu: Amakakeru Ryū no Hirameki (Flash of the Heavenly Flying Dragon)
Rank: "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A 2 part attack where if an opponent avoids or blocks will find themselves sucked towards the opponent as a second stronger strike commenses.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Normally, a normal strike is performed by drawing the katana from its sheath on one side while stepping forward with the opposite foot, however, at the last moment before the attack, the user adds yet another step mid-draw with the foot adjacent to the sheath before drawing his sword. This endangers the user by possibly putting the adjacent leg into the free sword's path and draws one even closer to an opponent's sword than usual, but on the other hand, boosts both the power and the speed of the Battōjutsu swing. This technique is a two-step move and, if its secret should be anticipated and the strike itself blocked or dodged, the second step comes immediately into effect. The immense force of the enhanced draw cuts the air in front of it and creates a powerful vacuum in its wake as the deflected air rushes back into place. Any opponent to deflect or dodge the first swing will automatically be subject to this vacuum and inexorably pulled closer to the user. Additionally, with the great amount of force being applied to the technique, a missed swing leads naturally into a spin akin to the Keihatsu Ryuu: Soryūsen (Paired Dragon Strike). The added momentum of the spin in addition to the pulling force of the vacuum on both side results in a second strike that greatly dwarfs the first in power.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Busōsen (Arms Flash). Must have Mastered Busōsen (Arms Flash).

Shiki watched her testing his defense. Shiki got annoyed. Once she started testing his outer defense he twirled his blade around in a flourish. With each twist of his blade he would send a wave of stones, rocks and debris towards her. If she was not going to met his challenge in earnest he was going to simply make her taking her time a mistake against him. With each swing Shiki would cut swathes in the earth towards her. Large eruptions of sharpened stone and massive amounts of dirt would shower towards her as she started to inch towards him. 

Spinning the sword over and over again Shiki would send 6 powerful cuts towards her general direction as she tested his boundaries.

Several steps in and he lost his patience. When his wrist took to a twisting motion she twisted the grip on her sword and prepared her salvo, the distance between them just a little under six meters but she darted forward at the first two slashes to eat it down to five. His distance control and the way he moved was nerve plucking but every time she lost sight of him she knew where he was by the epicenter of his chakra glow, that static field he put out lit him up like a Christmas tree. Then it simply clicked. She'd have to lose too much of her arsenal trying to sneak up with swordplay.

Instead she let that salvo of rocks whip towards her and used them as cover to mask her intentions. This massive wall of debris shot forward and with her wielding hand she whipped her blade through the air, meeting those waves with a massive vortex of wind that'd blow them back with equal fervor, a massive shroud created masked behind the additional 4 waves of slashes she counter with her sight that passed easily through the natural rock formation.

Now. Now she could shine. In a breath she darted into this void in the flying rocks she created, that vortex of wind punching through as he swung that blade, too close to just be avoided, stepping right into the path of the destruction to close the distance between them as close under 5 meters as possible (Lets argue 4) to slam her sword back into it's sheathe. Even if he could sense her equipment the godspeed techniques akin to flash we're there for surpassing human perceptions at their apex, their beginning. The Dragon's howl was to be heard not seen.

Jump. Duck. Roll. She gave him a great many obstacles to deal with, whipping that blade free with a scream as she called on her Tessaiga. "ROAR, TESSAIGA!!!" The death whistle was among them, the wailing cry of 100 demons felled in a single swipe tearing through the air. In it's massive cone shape dodging backwards at all naturally would only keep one within it's threat range and dodging to the side left no room to retreat and subject to her roar of the dragon.

Then the cheek bitch swung again and the world around her erupted into a maelstrom of screaming wind as another massive 55 meter dome of destruction would sat right beside it's twin. to attempt wrapping him into a neat and tidy funnel.

Death's whisper was never quite so quiet. If he tried retreating there'd be no safe angle from the massive cone of influence.

Watching as she was closing the distance towards him Shiki sighed as she once again tried to stun him with the same sheathing technique. Enough of that nonsense. Targeting his senses was far from honorable combat. Without so much as a twitch of his muscles he would send a still jutsu that would throw a wave of pure force energy into her. She would feel her skin, bones and body pressed and slammed backwards into the floor as the wave would keep her at a distance.

She was fast but Shiki was a Kensei of the art of the sword saint. A master of all three courages. Speed was on his side.  There was no speed that she was using that was unfamiliar to him. The simple fact of it was now that he had her traced and her weapons under his senses she would never get the element of surprise on him again. 

Shiki raised his sword stance in an upwards position as he took a moment and readied himself for the next series of attacks.

There was a flash of light as Shiki lunged forwards with his Tokihaga. His lightning blade flashed as it cut through the noble warriors chest. Spinning around and pivoting with his right foot he twisted his weight around with his free hand extended creating a sealless chidori. There was an explosion of lightning as the sound of 1000 chirping birds erupted from his hand piercing her in the heart and killing her instantly. The Eye of Oto was dead. Shiki let their body slump to the floor as he took her sword and headband. They would go on a memorial where he could remember this fight for the eternity to come. 

Shiki started making a few handseals. He would send her body to his venerated hall of honor. It was a noble fight.
