Shoko chuckled once more. Even now Loki had her attention primarily focused not on the boy, but on her other chakra creations that she moulded and warped with her fine degree of control and precision, creating more as she did so and joining them with the others. Whatever this technique was, this was surely not Loki's first time utilising it. It was easy for Shoko to come to the conclusion that she was a master of this jutsu already. Sadly Shoko knew there wasn't too much he could learn from this woman who had practically transcended to a greater being. He could never use chakra the way she did, he didn't need to.

Shoko was a human boy who had already broken the boundaries of physical human strength without advanced chakra techniques. He was a natural talent who already had years of taijutsu training behind him and had refined his physical technique and power so well that he could break some of the strongest chakra-barriers with his bare hands. The worst part is that he doesn't even know his full strength and is still growing stronger every day. Shoko didn't know exactly how capable Loki was in taijutsu, but one thing was for sure, she was not the master he truly needed. Even for her immense power.

But even knowing all that it wouldn't hurt to stay and learn something. The more he knew about chakra and its adept users, the less of a disadvantage he had against them in combat.

[Dravocn]

Dravocn smiled as he allowed his chakra to explore the area, simply absorbing the knowledge provided to him. His hand over the orb and slowly began to flow his chakra through it. Or was it their chakra? As all energy is one, from material to the energies that they as ninjas manipulate on a daily basis. The illusion of separation is a particularly interesting genjutsu, and possibly a rather decent concept for a genjutsu for later.

He then looked to the woman curiously as she built herself a body out of these orbs. While his hands didn't seem to give a strong enough pulse of energy, perhaps his output was just lackluster in comparison to his, he still didn't allow his confusion to get in the way of his learning and curiosity.

Perhaps he was off about his analysis, perhaps there was something more, or something simple he was missing. Or perhaps it was just her strength as a chakra user compared to his that he was missing. He took a deep breath and smiled still, his smile simply never wavered, before wrapping his mind around the orb's energy source like a flowing river. Once it seemed to have merged with the energy source, he slowly picked it apart from the missing space within until it became a husk from the inside out, and was more akin to fragile glass than the powerful existence it was. Putting his hand out he closed his hand and would watch the orb for it to shatter, whether this works or not, was unclear.

"Find the weak point I left boy. My chakra isn't so easily dealt with."

Loki commented as she continued to mold her chakra into the odd shaped barriers that was then formed into the pairings of oddly humanoid shapes, as she continued to add them to what she was already doing. She then focused her another piece of her attention on the boy across from her as she watched him continue to struggle much as expected. Another strand of her attention was shifted over to her second guest who had been rather rude up to this point.

"Little voyeur, over there. It's quite rude to spy on others and not have the decency to introduce yourself."

Loki said as her sharingan eyes looked over towards Shoko's direction. As her she looked over towards him a barrier of Energy surrounded him. Unlike the one she had placed in front of the other boy, this one was flawless. Or at least had no flaws that even Loki her self could see at the moment, even with her Sharingan activated. She turned her body over towards him as the humanoid figure she was creating, was becoming eerily more human. The figure transformation was the only shocking thing, it was how many Barriers she was creating to do this.

This was a rather powerful spell, yet she seemed to be able to create so many without need to take a break. At this point she didn't even seem like she emptied a portion of her chakra. It was not only a display of supreme control, but a temperament to the amount of chakra stores she had. It clearly seemed to out strip even Ninjutsu and Genjutsu Masters of the highest level, and then some. Loki created several more oddly shaped miniature barriers and added them to the humanoid form, as she asked,

"Can I assume you are an enemy, or just another wayward soul here to learn? If that's the case, then I am rather bored... what would you like me to tech you? If you are an enemy, then please don't die too quickly, that wouldn't be fun at all."

Shoko sighed as Loki’s eyes slowly turned to face him. He could immediately recognize her dojutsu as the Sharingan as he’d seen it before. She spoke two sentences, one after the other with a brief pause in between. Shoko could see that she was still focused on her chakra creation, but ultimately she had now taken notice of the boy’s presence and he was being called up.

Shoko’s thirty fingers were nearly convulsing with excitement after Loki’s last statement. He was no enemy, but the simple idea of going toe-to-toe with Loki made his heart soar embarrassingly. He wasn’t usually the type to get this worked up over the thought of fighting someone, but the Meikyoku and the marvelous feats displayed before him seemed to awaken something in the boy. Perhaps it had something to do with his nature as a martial artist.

“Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I’m Shoko, a Sand shinobi and definitely not an enemy. We’ve met on a few occasions. It’s funny that I’m asking only now but, what brings you here to Meikyoku?” Shoko responded, his eyes focused on Loki as he slowed down his heartbeat and breathing significantly.

"Boredom." Loki said plainly to Shoko's question, of why she had come here. She raised her eyebrow at him when she heard he was a Sand ninja. Eventhough most of Loki's attention seemed to be focused on the Shoko, she was still working her humanoid figure she was constantly refining. She folded her arms and said,

"A sand ninja, huh? So you must be familiar with my husband you former Kage. If you're one of his former men, then the thought of fighting me, should have sent you into a frenzy. You hide it well enough." Loki joked. If he picked up any of Shiki's bad habits, then the thought of fighting someone strong would have the opposite effect than it would on normal people. They'd have a relative hard-on, rather than reservations. Another oddly shaped orb, rushed out from Loki's body and then merged with the every grow creation at her side.

She looked back at Shoko, she scanned his body up and down, feeling him out. "By the taunt of his muscles, your posture, and callous hands... I'd say you're a taijutsu focused fighter. Very well. How about we have a bout? I won't use any chakra what so ever." Loki smiled with a smile as the hexagonal human she was creating continued to squirm and rotate next to her as she continued to refine it's shape. As things currently were she didn't think that she was going to be making much more progress with in.

That being the case, the next best thing was to check it's range of motion. Loki wasn't looking over at the figure she was doing this all by feel. She would also be continuing this through the bout if Shoko took her up on the offer. She turned her attention over towards Drav and said, "Do not worry, I can multitask. I will continue to guide you as well."

Loki turned back towards Shoko her sharingan eyes shining with delight. She was still adorn in her flowery black dress, with he staggering long hair flowing behind her. Her Elven ears jotting out, almost as far as her heels stamped down. She hardly looked ready for physical confrontation, but her confidence said otherwise. [Loki]

[Dravocn]

It's true, she was specifically trying to get him to find the weak point for him to break it. Nothing he did without the weak point was going to give him any sort of anything. Frankly, he thought he had found it in that empty space near the stem, but perhaps he had overlooked it?

His hand once again placed on the orb, he once again ran a search through it via a pulse of chakra. His eyes closed as he searched the orb with slow breaths, this time calming himself rather than letting the erratic energy of his excitement distract him. He had no way of seeing chakra like some sensors and doujutsu clans do, but he had learned quite a bit in the ways of chakra itself. It was a slow process this time, one he took pleasure in as it was still a learning experience, and hopefully one that created a joy in his newfound friend's heart.

Even hearing the conversation with the other boy, he had his focus on the orb, the sound reverberating off of the orb having helped just a little in his hunt while he went layer after layer deeper to find the imperfection. It was not of material, perhaps a crack, a grain sized crack or piece missing from within. He tilted his head as he thought he found it, and then used his chakra to open the hole wider... and wider. Due to the difference in his power and hers, it was a bit of a struggle, but frankly he wanted to make her happy.

"I hope I found it." he said to himself with a sigh, but his smile still hasn't faltered. Like a porcelain mask, his face never dropped that smile, and his voice naturally produced that chakra like effect of calm and command. He then splayed his fingers outward as to signify the spread of his chakra pulse widening the gap within the orb.

The muscle in the sand shinobi’s six young arms flexed acutely as he begun stretching them out in all directions. It was hard to keep his appendages in shape without constant vigorous exercise. Normal human beings were not suited to have that many appendages, so naturally one would have difficulties unless he followed the precautions and took the right steps to maintain them. Shoko didn’t mind if Loki used her huge abundance of chakra against him, but by bringing herself down to his specialty, she was providing him what he though was an overwhelming advantage. He wouldn’t be much of a chuunin if he couldn’t handle a ninjutsu user with his martial arts. Although to compare Loki to your average ninjutsu user would be comparing a raindrop to an ocean.

At that moment a voice at the back of his head kept telling him not to dare to hold back. Shoko would oblige, even knowing he would likely end up pushing his body to its physical limits. “That’s fine,” he thought to himself “ as long as I can find and acknowledge those very limits I’ll be satisfied.”

The distance between him and Loki was about 10 metres, both directly facing each other. They were still outside the general vicinity of the city so they weren’t surrounded by any buildings or structures within a fifty metre radius. The landscape was a field of grass with no trees in the area. Shoko personally preferred more difficult terrain, it made him harder to hit. But this was fine, and so when Shoko was done with his stretches he gave a final sigh.

“That sounds like a good idea.” Shoko accepted her challenge. Before taking any offensive action he would gauge the distance between Loki and the ground if she was still floating in the air. He also calmed his mind and bolstered his resolve, envisioning his plan of action while his eyes stared daggers at Loki. The golden-haired boy was simply dressed in brown joggers and sandals, absolutely nothing else.

"Very good. I want to teach how to command the purest from of magic. However, it doesn't seem you quite have the ability yet. Focus on your inadequacies, and see what you are missing. Then we can begin." Loki said as the boy managed to breakthrough the small orb finally. The task she gave the boy next, seemed like a profound one, that should take months and maybe years. However, from the sound of it Loki expected him to accomplish it, in the span of there meeting. She either at a skewed view on what was humanly possible, had a deeper understanding of the boy than was visible, or she was simply testing his talent. Maybe it was a combination of the three.(Master your second Chakra slot)

After giving this mountain of a task, Loki began to float down to the ground. The hexagonal figure that she was crafting with nothing but her mind and the use of Tenkai was still stationary there. Loki, looked over at Shoko, as her delicate feet touched the ground. With a snap of her fingers, a Staff appeared next to her. It floated there just outside of her reach. As she stood there, with her arms folded. As she stood there the hexagonal creature continued to turn and rotate and squirm. It was clearly still being toued with by her.

"Did I fail to mention, I'm a Kensei of Burēdono Kenseijin, a Master Marksmen, as well as a Master of the 8 Celestial Gates, I also have dabbled in Aikido. Please do not let this Dainty body fool you..." As she said this with a quick bit of sleight of hand, the staff that was floating around her seem to teleport, into a drawing position, as she proformed as Dragon Strike. the space around Shoko seemed to rend as the air pressure seemed to cut through the space itself.

"These delicate arms hold great power." Loki giggled gently, as he had sent sword slash with what was clear a blunt staff weapon. Not only that, but that weapon could cut like any sword. Loki's smile widened as the hexagonal Human continued to try it's first moments of actual movement, under Loki's command, her full attention was still not on this fight. She wondered if this lad in front of her, could make her break her promise, of no chakra.

Shoko's eyes took immediate notice of the polearm that materialised out of thin air. The boy could immediately with his planar eyes that it was an advanced chakra-item of some kind. Loki had lowered herself to the ground, meaning she was serious about not using her chakra in this battle. While innately a martial artist, Shoko wasn't going to hold himself to that rule as he had a few minor chakra techniques of his own that he could utilise depending on the situation. The boy's solemn facial expression did not change as she spoke of the fighting styles she was versed with. He figured it was too good to be true that she was only a powerful chakra-user, but his resolve didn't waiver in the slightest.

Despite Shoko not blinking, he missed the action that led to her staff now being in her hand, followed by a swift horizontal slash. Shoko knew this technique, not because he'd studied it, but because one of his colleagues back in Sunagakure had once utilised it in a sparring battle with Shoko. However, the staff was taller than any sword the technique was meant to be used with, and as a result, the vacuum of sharp wind was wider than what he was used to. Without taking his eyes off Loki, he took a quick three steps before leaping up five metres into the sky, evading the quick dragon strike that would now pass below him. His forward momentum in the air would be enough to close the distance and bring his body within range of Loki upon his landing.

Shoko's right foot would collide into Loki's head area upon landing. But before his momentum could stop and regardless of whether the first attack was blocked or not, he would pivot his body in the middle of the kick counter-clockwise to perform a following roundhouse kick with his left leg. Continuing the spinning motion, Shoko would take his right leg once more and end the manoeuvre with a final straight kick towards his opponent. His combined motions and dastardly momentum should've been enough to knock Loki away from her position even if she had blocked the strikes somehow.

Once he saw the orb shatter and disappear in front of his eyes like some sort of dematerialization of data, he smiled brightly at his work. He had finally broken the orb, but it seemed she wasn't finished with him, which made him all the happier. He has a new friend and he was so happy to enjoy this feeling, she even praised him, which was fantastic as he'd never heard anything like it. The feeling of being praised was so new and happy, he was all excited to make her happy.

However, her new mission for him was, not really vague, but seemingly very time consuming. To which he tilted his head curiously at but smiled even brighter before clapping happily. "Thank you, miss." he said happily "I will try my best." he said happily, as he thought about his inadequacies. He didn't really have all that many things he hated about himself, other than the obvious imperfections every mortal carries within them... shoot, just living implies imperfection.

He thought about it curiously before coming to the conclusion that it was more of a self quest she gave him. One that was less about perfecting his very existence, and more about improving himself before he can properly learn to control the essence of this.. magic she called it, chakra right, magic is... sort of what chakra is, he supposed. He smiled and watched the two spar as he meditated on these things. His smile never leaving his face, his progress in chakra having kickstarted the rest of his existence. His eyes slowly, crystal by crystal, started to frost over. His voice was one thing, he didn't even notice the effects coming from his voice. His eyes weren't exactly something he could see changing either, the irises of his eyes going grayer. His meditation and chakra abilities just makes his changes advance faster, as if a chakra based puberty.

Loki released the staff after she had made the slash, not having a need to keep it in her hands afterwards. She watched Shoko as he made his approach with a smile on her face. She lifted her left hand, but she did not go to block the attack, she instead parried it as she placed her hand on the outside of the foot, parrying towards her midsection as she side stepped. He kept his momentum, and sent his round house kick.

Loki brought over her right arm in a fluid motion, with her arms swimming over each other. As the round house kick came, her right hand reached over towards her left side with her palms facing upward. Her body swayed backwards, as her hooked the his foot with her right arm as her left moved down towards his right thigh, hooking it with the outside of her left hand. She'd parried the second kick, going into a counter, her arms would extend out into almost a T-pose, using his own momentum to twirl him out of control.

She would not stop there as her arms still hooked on to his legs would rotate clock-wise before coming together as she elegantly said, "Full Counter..." She would use the power of his own attacks, and the force of his momentum, to send him into a mad swirl. The power behind his kicks would be reflected back at him during the mad spin towards the ground that Loki would send him. His straight kick would not have the opportunity to come out.

Tsuyosa Ryuu: Futae no Kiwami (Mastery of Two Layers)
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A dual strike technique that allows the user to bypass hardness while delivering a powerful strike.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Mastery of Two Layers is a technique that focuses on allowing the full use of one's strength and power to be fully utilized at its maximum output. The Futae no Kiwami's principle aspects come from understanding that all matter bears a level of resistance, and that a single blow's impact is wasted upon meeting this resistance. From this, two blows are to be acted to fully transfer this impact. With the fist, the first blow, using the proximal interphalangeal joints of the hand, meets to absorb the object's initial resistance. The first hit allows the user to bypass +2 Hardness per Class Level. Then, with folding the hand immediately to switch over to the proximal phalanx knuckles, delivers the final strike to the weakened object; in addition, the two hits are to be delivered at nearly the same time, with a few milliseconds interval. The 2nd strike deals 16 Armour Points of Damage per Class Level. The result is the complete destruction of the object (Can destroy overview Objects if it bypasses the Hardness), which has no more resistance to sustain itself and collapses into dust. Technique does double damage against inanimate objects while creating a crater 1/2 a meter per 16 Armour Points of Damage. User may relearn this technique multiple times. Each time learned allows the user to bypass an additional +1 Hardness while dealing +4 Armour Points of Damage per Class Level. May be performed once per movement.

Even as Shoko was carried away by his own momentum resulting from Loki's well timed and dynamic parry, he was ecstatically high on adrenaline. Shoko was sent flying two metres to Loki's right by her clockwise motion and redirection of his momentum. Reaching out his six hands as they came in contact with the ground, Shoko expertly twisted his body again, this time with the point of focus being his multiple shoulders rather than his hips. The boy would spin in the same direction as that which he had been sent into by Loki with his hands as his body's momentum slowed upon contact with the ground, an action that would drastically help to absorb the force of his landing.

Not missing a beat, the boy would use his arms to push his body upwards after a full rotation. His body's orientation would flip over to its normal setting as his legs absorbed the last of the momentum and force landing perfectly. He'd still taken damage, but his quick instincts and acrobatic ability prevented it affecting him in the form of injury of any kind. Now facing Loki five metres from her right and on his two feet, Shoko widened the space between his legs and lifted one knee and raised all six of his fists. His skin would briefly glow, and then Shoko's feet glide towards Loki with blurring speed, his eyes focused on her every move.

Shoko's feet would stop once within a metre of Loki and instantly following that, four fists would shoot out in different directions like fast-moving pistons. Shoko's fists would look nothing more than blurry tentacles as four of them shot out to strike Loki in multiple places, retracted, before whipping out again. Shoko would perform a total of 8 punches with four of his fists, striking her chin, forehead, chest twice, stomach, nose, right shoulder and left shoulder (not necessarily in that order). The first set of attacks would stun Loki for six seconds (difficulty check for fortitude save: 36) unless she somehow resisted .During the attacks Shoko kept back two hands to deal with Loki's own appendages that would likely try to retaliate in some way either by parrying or blocking. Shoko would instantly be able to spot the moment she would move her hands having while watching her closely, and would grapple them if it occurred. This action would not provoke an opportunity attack.

So many arms. How unfortunate that more arms didn't necessarily mean harder to deal with, in fact in some cases it made things far more simple. His arms were plentiful, however, other than his natural arms, the others were far too predictable in the paths they could take. They did not have the advantage of having access to the full rotator cup, or the full access to the shoulders blades. There was only so much room on the body, which made the route of their punches a lot only predictable but wider than necessary.

For someone as slender as Loki, all she'd need to do is decrease her surface area, and weave right into those spaces proved by those extra arms. Now most would not be able to discern such things at a simple glance. However, Loki has two areas of specialized experience to help in this matter. The first was she was an master in the human anatomy, and the limits imposed by such a body. Loki stepped in as Shoko charged forward. This was to close the distance. With her slight body she had the advantage, the close to him she was. She got so close to the point where even if his fist connected they would not be able to fully extend, reducing their power.

Not only this, but as she stepped in his extra arms would have to widen their trajectory even more. She went to extend her hands to begin her parrying when his two non attacking hands would grab her. She smirked as the second reason revealed itself. Four of her own extra arms burst out, and parried the stifled attacks. Every strike of Shoko was parried by one arm and the parried arm was attacked by the a second of Loki's extra arms that shared a side with it, with Loki sending a two layer strike into the side of those attacking arms.

Her attacks were much weaker than they could have been. She was having a spar not trying to cripple the boy. Her Arms move like flashes as two arms was able to focus on one of his at time, and still have time to deal with the next blow.She clearly had the movement speed that far outstripped even Taijutsu Masters who dedicated their entire lives to their craft. She smiled at him, devilishly,

"Gotcha... this is what Two Layers looks like."

As she said this Loki's heel clacked twice into the ground. As the second tap happened, the area around them exploded in a burst of power as she used Two Layers through her feet to explode the immediate are around them. However, that concussive wave as well has Shoko's grip, slipped right through her as her body turned incorporeal. She skipped backwards gracefully 5 meters, and came to a stop. Looking at her nails, one of her extra arms flipped her hair behind her head. She then stared at the young man,

"Is that all? Show me more..."

Whether he was aware of the existence of the Marilith Ritual was unknown, to Loki, but there was still much more of it to be seen. This 6 arms was just the tip of the iceberg.

Shoko had expertly predicted Loki's attempt to parry with her two hands, and would be successful in his grapple. However, he did not predict the appearance of four extra arms that grew out of Loki at once to receive the first set of his blows with parries. Shoko watched as they formed into existence and while he couldn't stop the momentum of his initial attacks, he was able to adjust his plan of attack as the parries were made.

After the first four blows that had failed, Shoko's action of retracting those arms allowed him ample time to perceive and react to Loki's follow-up punches that were aimed to the side of his arms even with their close proximity. Adapting to the situation, Shoko's four fists would not shoot out to attack once more instead they deftly parried the incoming counter-strikes that Loki had made towards them.

"Gotcha... this is what Two Layers looks like.

Shoko could hear her heel clack twice of the ground then the ground erupted. Following that, Loki's arms that he had grappled in the beginning phased out of his precise grip somehow, before her body started skipping back several metres. Shoko was unfazed by the explosion of the ground around him, not to say that he didn't take damage, but his vigorous training made his legs too strong and firm be affected by knockbacks, staggers and knockdowns no matter the situation.

Even so, he could not keep shrugging off her attacks forever. Shoko's bottom-most hands formed a single handseal together just as she stopped five metres away and two copies of Shoko would appear after a poof. With a single clone five metres to him on either side, each one would take off like a bullet, kicking up dirt as they ran towards Loki nimbly moving through the now difficult terrain caused by the explosion moments prior as if it were normal terrain while Shoko's body began to heal some of the damage it had taken thus far. They would each stop five metres away from Loki at opposite sides of her. Their eyes never left her sight during the run, and they would react accordingly if she made a move. But if she didn't, after stopping, the clone on her right would open his mouth and shoot a grey sticky substance that expanded mid-flight towards Loki, while the clone on her left would steadily begin to approach her. This dust and mucus-laden choke-wad would grossly envelope Loki completely within an instant upon contact and also take up a three metre radius around her.

The harmful substance would sicken Loki whether or not she was corporeal (fortitude save difficulty: 36), though she would only feel its poisonous after-effects (fortitude save difficulty: 36)  if she was, and would need to resist or she would find herself taking v_3gON1L1-6 agility damage. She would be unable to take any movements while encased in the substance without making a break-check (35) or an escape artist manoeuvre (145). The clone on her left would have no problem moving through the thick and sticky substance surrounding her to enter her range, while the original Shoko would stay stationary, his eyes watching her every move as his body continuously healed itself.

Dravocn smiled as he watched the two spar. He had to admit, he wasn't exactly sure why the boy she was sparring was not something he noticed when he found the woman. Perhaps it was he lacked a chakra presence? Or perhaps he was just too excited to really pay attention to his surroundings. He wasn't happy that he was so distracted, but he really didn't feel any sort of threat from either of these people so perhaps it was a fortuitous circumstance that he wasn't attacked in his most vulnerable state.

He tilted his attention to the humanoid made of orbs, it became increasingly lifelike and frankly it was nearing the uncanny valley. He smiled at it, though the frost growing over his irises made his smile seem sadistic and eerie. His eyes becoming more blue in hue as time passed, the whites of his eyes growing into a brighter and more pure white, as if clearing the impurities in his eyes from stress and lack of sleep.

The frost crystals in his eyes began to match the same cold that his chakra was now producing, an aura of cold not like an ice ninjutsu, but a chilling aura of the soul. His face grew more rigidly fair and feminine than normal, now resembling an actual porcelain Venetian mask due to the smile always plastered on his face. The crystals in his eyes now actively pushing forward shard by shard toward his pupils, creating a soul piercing gaze, a monstrous yet graceful visage now taking place where his youthful teenage face once was.

Freezing Glance
Rank: "A"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: User's eyes become wintry tombs that destroy the spark of life in those who the user meets in their stare.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Affects 1 living creature. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated. Each round the user may target a single living creature. It must make a save or be frozen in place. Frozen creatures are entitled to an additional save if attacked, but this provides no immunity to the gaze. A creature that has been immobilized with a freezing glance, then restored to motion after an attack, can still be the target of the same Freezing Glance in a later round. Though the gaze attack ends rather quickly, frozen creatures remain immobile for 5 minutes per class level. In some cases, this can cause serious damage through exposure to the elements.
Limit: Must know the Enchantment Perception.
