Droplets of Morning Dew x2

[Minoru Hyuuga]

Purify Jutsu
Rank: "A"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: User can charge their damaging Jutsus with celestial energy that leaves good creatures unharmed.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This Jutsu adds the Good Descriptor to a Jutsu. Furthermore, if the Jutsu deals damage, half of the damage is holy damage. For example a normal "C" Rank Jutsu does 40 Armour Points of Damage: 20 Armour Points of Fire Damage and 20 Armour Points of Holy Damage. Thus, creatures immune to Fire still potentially take 20 Armour Points of Damage. Jutsu Handseal/Chakra Increase: 1/2 Rank.
Limit: Must learn from Universal NinJutsu. Must be Good Aligned.

'I don't think I can follow them in that icy forest. However, I can-'. The male suddenly heard a loud scream behind him. Said scream was frighteningly familiar. 'Oh no...' realized Minoru when he saw the gorilla chase the poor chipmunk.

He started to gather the spiritual energy required for the searing soul. 'Remember who the evil creature is. That monkey is only doing this for fun. Or bullying' observed the young man. His eyes narrowed as he refined the energy required for his jutsu.

The large primate had just reached a sturdy maple tree. The Chuunin took aim as he lifted his right arm. Next, he shot the beam straight towards the gorilla. Said creature caught the rodent when the jutsu hit him. This did not made the human show mercy however.

The gorilla let out a painful cry when his heart palpitated. 'Looks like the jutsu worked at the gorilla. Wonder how the chipmunk is doing' thought the male. He smiled when he checked the smaller animal. Apart from a faster heartbeat, it was not injured.

Despite his swift speed throughout the forest, the dragon that no longer even looked like anything remotely like its old self, didn't loose any distance at all to the Hoshigaki. It annoyed him as he wasn't sure of how long that would be maintained, since he was moving at top speed but the dragon just go more momentum. So as he crossed a groove and lost some space, he knew that he would need to deal with it before it was too late. He didn't really come up with any good way to stop it that would be better than what it was already plowing through. So he decided that his best option was to just fool it away, as far as possible. But as he was about to hide his chakra signature, he felt how the lower part of Zuruel's body that he was carrying suddenly changed in structure. Before Emi had realized what had happened, he noticed that it had turned into a gum version that wanted to bite him.

Low blow, I tried to protect you, you know.

Emi said as he grabbed the biting monster and yanked it off from himself. His divine aura had taken a fairly large hit, but was still very strong, which had the biter nothing to really hold on to with its teeth. It did however make Emi wonder what had happened with his friends resurrection, especially since he had just held the most intact part of him. But as he no longer held no value to the biter, he just took a quick look at it before throwing it down towards the maws of the dragon. Then he resumed to remove his chakra signature, making it rapidly vanish until there were no more traces of it. The Hoshigaki then turned straight to the right, hoping that it would decrease some of the dragons speed. But while he turned and passed a tree, he made a kage bunshin while the original hid within the shadows of the vegetation. The clone kept the same pace and direction as he had headed in himself. (406 stealth) When the dragon had passed him, Emi slowly moved away in the completely opposite direction.

'Right...time to deal with the gorilla from hell' decided the male. He knew that primates were intelligent animals. Hence why a genjutsu would be a good choice to chase away the large monkey. The gorilla turned towards him a few moments later.

Minoru took a few steps back while raising his hands. 'Even an animal like him must have natural enemies. Maybe I can play on that. Especially since he's an intelligent creature' decided the young man. He took a deep breath while he tried to keep his distance.

'I need to scare him so bad that he runs away. Or at least gives me the time to escape. My jutsu must be so realistic that a human can believe it. This jutsu is all about visualization' thought the Chuunin.

'My jutsu needs a lot of colour and shadows. It needs to be lively with a lot of movement. Gorillas relies on their vision after all' recalled the male. He started to mold his chakra while the creature studied him. The black-haired guy started to gather some chakra straight away.

He kept calm as he refined the chakra inside him. The young man made sure to do a thorough job with the refinement. His pale purple eyes looked at the inside of the animal. His heart was not beating as fast compared to earlier. Furthermore, the gorilla did not move much.

The young man started on the handseals straight away. 'I don't have to worry about range. However, I have to make sure nobody interacts with him. That will interfere with the illusion' observed Minoru. He did the last handseal two seconds later.

The gum dragon’s elongated neck darted forwards and snapped up the lower half of Zuruel with one sloppy bite. Skidding to a halt, it crashed into several trees to decrease its momentum before making the sharp right to continue the chase after Emi’s clone. It was a split second later that the gum dragon stopped moving. As if a trio of blue nukes had gone off, everything within a 165-meter radius of where the dragon had stopped itself to turn right erupted in flashes of pale blue light before giving way to another harsh blizzard.

Swallowing everything, the light froze all it touched within the radius right down to their cores in a thick layer of icy frost. Frost so cold, that not even resistances to mundane cold could reduce its frostbite inducing touch. Such was the power of a Bitter Cold Jutsu [x3 292 AP Non-Lethal Cold Damage, Fortitude Save: 31 or Frozen]. Emi had been quick. So quick, that the stealthed Zuruel had somehow lost track of the scaled blue man. However, through a series of teleportions and running jumps, he had caught up in time to witness the new Emi appearing in an iconic puff of smoke [Chakra Lore: 225]. Having identified the technique rather easily, he knew the original had to be close. Of course, against his ice techniques, it didn’t matter where. He simply needed to annihilate everything in the area with frost in such a way that there would be no hiding in the air, behind other objects, or even underground. Such was the wrath of a calm, yet pissed off Zuruel who had completely forgotten about the Hyuuga in the area.

The male narrowed his eyes as he looked at the primate. 'Looks like it's a bit agitated. Better not do any sudden movements. A gorilla that size is strong enough to rip me apart' observed Minoru.

Pale purple eyes locked onto the brain. An advantage with the byakugan was the ability to see someone's brain. Even without the byakugan, the young man could easily imagine the brain. 'Let's see what kind of horrors your brain can produce. I hope you remember this the next time you're bullying chipmunks' thought the Chuunin.

The jutsu was released a moment later. It took a few moments until his jutsu started to take effect. Seconds later, the gorilla let out a frightened scream. It punched into the air against its invisible enemy. The creature ran away from the male twenty seconds later.

'I wonder what's going on with Emi-san and Zuruel-san. They ran into that icy forest if I'm not wrong' recalled the black-haired guy. His byakugan saw the dragon approach Zuruel. What happened next made the young man nauseous. 'Uuuurgh...that was revolting' thought Minoru.

Tenkai (Heavenly Release)
Rank: "S" + ["B"]
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A strong chakra barrier capable of defending against Chakra based techniques.
Special: ---
Drawback: Only works on Chakra Techniques. Must learn multiple times.
Description: Picture Considered to be the "Ultimate" defense through Chakra Manipulation. User holds their hand out, gripping their wrist with the other hand. User slams the hand on the ground, releasing the built up Chakra in a 5 meter radius spread sphere barrier. When released it becomes self sustaining and will disperse depending on the user's Class Level (1 minute per Class Level starting "D" Class) or if the Barrier is destroyed. When first learned the Barrier is able to withstand 100 Points worth of Damage (see Armour System in Item Index). Performing takes the length of a "B" Rank technique in Handseals. User may learn this technique multiple times. Each time learned ("B" Rank Training) the Barrier gains strength of additional 60 Points. Chakra Techniques may not enter, nor may they not leave the Barrier. Only Chakra Techniques causes damage to the Barrier as Non Chakra Techniques pass through with no effort.

When releasing the sphere, any chakra within the range of the Sphere is pushed out.
Limit: Universal NinJutsu Technique.

(ooc: your frost attack suddenly jumped +5 in dc? if that is correct and I freeze despite not taking damage, I'll edit the post)



Emi watched from the shadows as he saw the gum dragon skid to a stop and turn after the clone, allowing him to get away with ease. The feint had been surprisingly easy and effective, making him wonder why he hadn't tried to do something much earlier to get rid of it. The movements fascinated him almost as much as the creature itself, but the fact that it managed to produce such damage while still avoiding things with such ease was probably its strongest attribute. When the creature finally left his field of vision he breathed out in relief and too his gaze away from it and made sure to see what he had in front of himself. The flames that came from his fire orbs had spread fast and was even starting to affect the larger trees.

But suddenly he saw a wind going through the woods that immediately removed all of the fires as it dropped the temperature with so many degrees that no heat was left. A few thoughts went through his head but the body reacted all on its own by making a couple of basic motions before slamming in the branch he was standing on. When the wind came rushing past him, he saw that it was far deadlier than it first had appeared as his protective dome instantly vanished. A curse escaped him as Emi tried to make yet another shield to protective him from the rest of the damage. The cold was however already upon him, piercing the divine aura as well. A layer of frost covered his muscles once more and hardened all of his limbs.

Luckily he had been fast enough to make the first dome of protection, otherwise he would have sustained a large amount of damage. When the breeze had already passed and decreased the temperature to the absolute minimum, the second barrier came up. The freeing cold attacks were starting to annoy the Hoshigaki, they made the entire fight both harder due to the lack of earth, but also so much more uncomfortable. To perform at his absolute top when all of his body just screamed that it wanted to get away from the fight and warm himself up in the sunlight was just agitating. But despite that Emi believed that he should've won the fight by then due to having the opportunity to end his friends life if he had wanted, Zuruel didn't appear to have the same view on it. How would he deal with the future frost attacks? Because even though he could use chakra defenses, it required so fast reactions that it would be easy to miss and still get hit.

What the male just did to the gorilla made him re-think about his own reactions. 'I have to become stronger in certain situations. Such as the one with Zuruel-san. I can't become too sick watching those things' decided Minoru. This was a huge disadvantage with using the byakugan.

A Hyuuga was able to see everything around them. 'Let's see if I can see what Zuruel-san and Emi-san are doing without vomiting' decided the young man. He shifted his byakugan towards the icy forest. The Chuunin knew for sure that was not a genjutsu. Solid creations that was seen with the byakugan was not that.

Same could be applied for the dragon. Especially since the male saw them make it earlier on. What was going on with the larger guy was a different story. 'Looks like he is freezing cold. I am definitely feeling the cold over here' thought the black-haired guy.

He was standing 50 meters south of the icy forest. The young man narrowed his eyes a little when he saw Emi doing a jutsu. 'That's odd. He's not turning the chakra into a specific nature. That rules out the genjutsu' observed Minoru.

Moments later, Emi used the chakra to form a barrier of some sort. Said barrier looked strong enough to protect him from an incoming attack. Seeing a jutsu made him more aware of the chakra process. This would make the male more aware of what created a genjutsu.

'I know I can't keep an eye on everyone's chakra processing. However, I know what goes into making a genjutsu. Another thing I need to check is the environment. Solid things are definitely real' concluded the Chuunin. He let out a sigh as he tried to recover.

The user can activate this technique as a “C” Rank technique taking up hand seals. The user is able to see through and thus ignore lighter forms of concealment, such as smoke or mist. The user may concentrate for an amount of hand seals equal to a “C” Rank technique while their byakugan is active to gain the see chakra and see through chakra effects for as long as the user concentrates and their byakugan remains active. Deactivating this ability takes up no movements. When the user learns this technique the first two times, they train it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. When the user learns this technique the second two times, they train it as a “C” Rank jutsu +10 training points.

This does not impede the user's line of sight and the distance a user can normally see, however they simply will not be able to use the X-ray ability beyond 10 meters. When the user first learns this technique, the user trains it as a regular “C” Rank jutsu. Each additional training allows the user to use the X-Ray ability for an additional 10 meters. For every 50 meters, the user trains an additional + 10 training points added to their previous training. The user also suffers a penalty to observation checks every 15 meters instead of every 3 meters. If user loses an eye (has 1 eye) telescopic eye is reduced by 50%.

With a simple gesture (without taking a movement), the user can make the rainbow pattern move up to 10 meters per round (moving its effective point of origin). All fascinated creatures follow the moving rainbow of light, trying to get or remain within the effect. Fascinated creatures who are restrained and removed from the pattern still try to follow it. If the pattern leads its subjects into a dangerous area (through flame, off a cliff, or the like), each fascinated creature gets a second save. If the view of the lights is completely blocked (by an obscuring mist jutsu, for instance), creatures who can't see them are no longer affected. The jutsu does not affect sightless creatures.

As the protection had managed to appear in front of himself as Emi began to look around for where his friend had made it, he noticed the structure of his dome. It had been a very long time since he created it and therefor actually studied how he had build it. But with his more recent experience, he noticed that there were several things that he had missed out on doing on it to make it better. Despite that he knew that he didn't have the time to fully perfect it, he couldn't help himself but get a few ideas on possible improvements. Since the base of the dome was spherical, most of the force that would affect the outer layer would be nullified. But if something were effective in penetrating things, such as a spear, the point would be so small that the dome's shape wouldn't help very much.

That had him wonder if he actually wanted the dome to be more flexible with its shape, and be able to move in and out. It would make it a lot more effective against attacks that normally would break through without difficulties. But he also knew that a flexible dome would make it easier for massive attacks to reach through and could possibly even hurt the user if it went too far. So he figured that the best version would to allow a little flexibility in a small area, but not have any larger sections allow such movements. To have a sphere work in such fashion was however something that he had no idea on how to do. So he began to consider to make the dome into another shape, to have small sections that would be able to absorb as much damage as possible while still being individual.

Isn't the fight over yet Zuruel? I could've won if I'd let the dragon smash your lower half and I'd wiped out the other.

Since the most natural forms in nature that were made to last or handle pressure were either round or in a hexagon shape, Emi wondered if that was the way to go. If he followed the structure of nature and made the dome consist of several smaller hexagon shields. The idea amused him and he wondered if it even could work or if he'd loose all of the structural benefits of having the spherical shape. But as usual, his curiosity took over hand and forced the Hoshigaki to try it out despite the stressful situation he was in. As he already had one up, he imagined that it would be a lot easier to use that one instead of creating a whole new shield. So he rearranged the chakra and changed some of its properties to make it consist of approximately 100 hexagons that were tightly connected. The sight was quite beautiful and he hoped that it would work as good or hopefully even better than his normal version.

Zuruel’s mismatched eyes scanned the icy tundra that had replaced the once grassy and scorched arena. There were no longer any signs of Emi’s flames. Instead, just spiked frost jutting upwards like thick spears. Snickering, he stepped out from the shadows and allowed his footsteps to crunch against the snow slowly collecting against the ground. Glancing towards the left, he eyed the frozen statue of Emi that looked as if nothing more than part of the background. He may have even missed the sight of his extra-blue companion, if not for the fact that his blue iris could catch Emi’s attempt at creating some sort of barrier around him.

“Enough of that. I’m satisfied.” Zuruel spoke playfully while licking his lips. Pulling back his fist, he looked as if he was about to ram it into the chunk of solid ice surrounding Emi before stopping the moment he heard Emi’s whispers through the ice. “You’re able to move your lips? Even in that state... Interesting.” Snickering, the Kedoin skipped towards his gum dragon, before slamming the fist meant for Emi directly into the gum creation’s core. Frozen by ice, the gum couldn’t withstand the blow and simply shattered into diamond dust before dropping Zuruel’s lower half. “See? Perfectly safe. Why would my own creation smash my salvation? It only swallowed my old body to protect it. What better armour against Taijutsu, than an armour of gum?”

Crackling his knuckles, Zuruel headed back towards Emi before placing his index finger against the cold barrier of ice. By now, Emi would likely be realising that he couldn’t move an inch. The ice hadn’t simply frozen the air around him or creeped along the surface of his blue skin by freezing the external moisturise. The ice had frozen Emi right down to his core. If not for his unnatural durability, he would have passed out seconds ago, in the same way that Zuruel should have lost every shred of his consciousness the moment he was assaulted by the bombardment of pain-like sensations. It appeared he wasn’t the only one that had gained supernatural resiliency from surviving the ordeals of the cursed mark. “The fight was over the moment you allowed my upper half to separate from the lower. You made it impossible to be at both places at once. However… It appears that it was nothing more than pure blind luck that the brain housed within the half furthest from you was the one that jolted into action and regenerated me whole again.” Ever-grinning, the Kedoin began rhythmically tapping the ice encasing Emi. After a few sonic-generated vibrations, the entire ice structure harmlessly shattered to free Emi, who would no doubt be left excruciatingly numb after the experience. “…That being said, I’ve never been kicked like that before. I still feel the phantom pain… How about we call that, fifty-one percent my victory, and forty-nine percent yours?”

Time to go

W

hen Zuruel came into Emi's field of vision, the Hoshigaki released his protective shield and tried to dash towards his friend. But as he did, Emi noticed that his body did not obey him. His entire form had been frozen solid, which he found curious that he hadn't realized it earlier. He tried to push himself out by forcing his muscles to break his restrains, but as the muscles themselves were shut. Despite that Emi was in a bad spot, he didn't like it that Zuruel seemed quite certain that he would be able to win from there. So before Zuruel had the time to remove the ice, Emi himself released the frost without the need for any handseals. Small shards fell down on either side of him as he shook it off.

I believe a 50-50 would make more justice, the dragon was not technically from the fight..... also

He was only able to say before his clone placed a senbon on Zuruels throat. (406 stealth) The weapon wasn't lethal and it would take far more than that to do anything to the kedoin, but it was made as a statement.

So, would you like to show me the city of monsters now? If I recall, it's in the ocean on the land of the moon?

The clone removed the senbon and vanished in a puff of smoke as the original Emi reached out a hand to his friend. He wasn't sure whether his friend had a seal on that island already, if not, Emi himself did.

Zuruel blinked before lowering his finger as Emi shook off the layer of ice encasing his body. “You’re resilient, I’ll give you that. However, pay careful attention to your body. I no doubt caused some internal damage with my attack. You're not going to shake off any ice clinging to your organs with a simple shrug or two.” Pondering over this, the Kedoin wondered why it had taken so long to freeze Emi. As far as he remembered, the first of his three attacks hadn’t frozen his companion. In fact, neither had the second. It had been the third, albeit barely.

“I think I was rather generous. I was planning on offering you a sixty-forty split originally. Also…” Zuruel snickered as he felt the cold metal of the clone’s senbon nearing his throat. That had given him quite the idea. He had a rather specific way of casting Jutsu. The beauty of this method was the ease of use. On the fly and while engrossed in the heat of combat, Zuruel could easily cast his techniques without putting much thought into it. He simply needed to repeat the motions already engraved into his muscle memory.

The simplicity of creating Chakra techniques this way also meant that he could substitute steps in the process he knew very well to modify the expected outcome. It was a similar theory to how Jutsu Enhancements worked. In this case, he utilised enough Chakra to take down a single target. However, what if he simply made the technique more potent by pouring enough Chakra to take down two imaginary opponents at once? In the same way poison could be made more potent by simply doubling the dose, he wondered if he could double his Chakra output to make his techniques more difficult to resist.

“…Also. Got your nose.” A second later, Emi would feel something cold poking at the underside of his nose [Stealth: 550]. At first, Emi wouldn’t notice anything. However, over moments, the area in front of Emi would begin to blur and distort, before eventually, the hazy shape began to form the outline of another Zuruel with a Kunai held just below the Hoshigaki’s nostrils. “My lower half is just as resilient as the upper. You shouldn't have taken your eyes off it.” The lower half clone tossed the Kunai back at the original before vanishing. It then reappeared seconds later, after having reabsorbed the discarded Umbrite armour. Both Kedoin then walked right into each other to merge back into one. A process which took several seconds of grotesque squelching noises and bone cracking into place.

“Alleve’s Hallow? Very well. I could use some food after this calorie burner.” Grabbing Emi’s hand, Zuruel accepted the free ride to ensure that the duo wouldn’t get separated during their respective journeys to the Land of Moon.
