Beach Get Away Token Event [Open]

[jintai]

At the edge of the Land of Snow the land was finally blessed with a day where the snow had melted from the surroundings and a vast beach front about 100m was accessible to the sea and with pleasantries lined up. In the very center was a massive infrastructure about 30m tall and wide that had a plethora of rental equipment, a kitchen with staff, and a large pavillion in the center for a group to dine along with a stage to speak on. Just behind the beach was a forest centered with a main road behind the building. Tenshina herself was the first to arrive to the installation as she had scoured through plenty of swimsuits until she had found the one. She was quick to change in the separate changing room before stepping out with a bag for her clothes.

She wore a white swimsuit that was full body despite the v cut out revealing some cleavage and down towards the middle of her stomach before wrapping back around. She also wore  a colored paige sash around her waist and a sunhat with regular sandals.

One of the staff ran to check in on her as Tenshina simply nodded and waved her off before heading out to the beach itself. The weather was nice and the sun refreshing. She had grown use to being stuck in the snow and it especially nice to let her hair down for once. She dropped her back next to one of the many  umbrallas and pair of resting chairs as she laid back and took it all in.

[An'ei Sekitan]

Costa Del Sol was a small village, much smaller than most, supporting only a few hundred people, yet it was a major tourist attraction in Yuki no Kuni due to a very unique property. It did not snow much here, and it was rather warm. Passed all the souvenir shops and restaurants was a single structure with beach access exclusively, which the village was built around and named, the actual resort Costa Del Sol. It was not large by any means, only thirty meters tall and thirty meters wide, but it sported many amenities to make up for its lack of size. Kitchen, ocean craft rentals, a plaza for eating that was open to the ocean for viewing, as well as a stage for public speaking or entertainment. Down the wide concrete steps that lead down to the beach, there were several beach chairs and umbrellas set up for patrons of the location, perfect for a day out in the sun. Sekitan was not there for any of that, however. For him, this was a frequent location for some uneven ground training with his blade, and the only place that still served his favorite Snowberry Sake.

Today he did not wear his coat or shirt beneath that, bare-chested as he made his way to the beach, although his black tactical pants and black tactical boots would remain on. He had not noticed that girl from Yukigakure no Sato, the one he had called a Geisha, but even if he had he would not have acknowledged her. Some fifteen feet away and to her front left, he began to go through the various warm up Kata, his blade dancing faster and faster as he moved through each form until his blade was a blur. His body was well muscled, as if he were in the prime of his youth, a gift of the Kaguya immortality and evolution that he underwent while in the tank, but he was still unused to his own power. Sand kicked up from where he was during a rotation, the blade sent that sand on a direct course for Tenshina, and it was then that he finally noticed her there. The life of the Geisha is quite relaxing. He smiled at the thought, not at her, and it was quick and fleeting.

“Relaxing today, are you?” He would ask her, holding his bone nodachi at his side, looking down at her even from the distance of fifteen feet (5 meters), “You must be exhausted from whatever it happens to be that you do around the Yukigakure. Oh, there’s a bit of sand on you.” More than a bit had been thrown by Sekitan, albeit by accident, but it had been enough to be considered a wave or seen as on purpose. Still he moved away from her, keeping her in his peripheral just in case, as the girl was a loose cannon. Emphasis on loose.

[jintai]

Something caught her attention as she some freakishly strong stranger swinging a blade as she sat up with feet in the sand looking out of curiosity. A wave of sand had shot out towards from 5m a distance as she sighed culling some of her chakra as she waved a hand and summoned a 2m pillar of bone 1m out of her chair which did much to divert the wave of sand but some bits still flew but only enough to irritate her eyes as she stood up and walked next to the bone pillar and leaned against it as she crossed her arms and sighed.

She had heard everything he said and was already starting to get irritated tapping her forearm furiously."Why must you ALWAYS be so fucking atrocious." Tenshina just loud enough for him to hear emphasizing one word. Her face was blank as she made eye contact. Tenshina's voice had venom and irritation as it seemed like his only purpose was to annoy the absolute shit out of her. It was hard to show someone of his stature respect when they were so terribly dreadful.

[An'ei Sekitan]

Sekitan listened to her words, although it had been an accident that the sand was thrown on her, it was true that he was not very nice to her. However, he was not genuinely nice to anyone save his daughter, so it was a non-issue for him overall. Yet, unbeknownst to her, he was merely attempting to condition her for the world outside of Yuki no Kuni, where she would be not only a combatant of other ninja and forces, but also a diplomat to those same shinobi and forces she had previously battled against. Losing her temper at the first signs of anything irritating would not due, as she would be easy to goad, putting her at risk of failure each and every time. A hot head makes too many mistakes. The pillar of bone did catch his eye however, as he had not known she was Kaguya, much like himself. Perhaps he should take an interest in her growth.

“Tenshina, the world will offer you worse than these slight annoyances,” he would flick sand at her again to emphasize his words, deliberately aiming for her eyes this time, “and if this is all it takes for you to lose your temper, you will die soon enough. A hot head often makes too many mistakes.” Without moving a single muscle, he would create a bubble of water above the girl, allowing it to burst and fall upon her in order to drench her from head to toe if successful. “Hopefully, that will cool you off, before you make yet another mistake that may cost your life. Your men may life a fiery temper in the bedroom, but in the world of Shinobi, it has no place.” Still he looked down on her, a slight scowl at her appearance, however it was a beach and these things were normal.

[jintai]

Tenshina sighed calming herself and as such failing to notice the shadow that would have been cast above her having come from the bubble created. The cold water would have surprised her as she was now somewhat drenched as her wet hair matted on her head. Rending her hands through she flicked her hair out behind her ears  before looking to the giant. "I've have been outside the village for 3 years before I was a shinobi. Faced many trials and tribulations and they could not kill me." She would say starting to walk towards Seikitan continuing her words."I gained things and people  had them robbed from me. Yet they could not kill me." Before long she would walk until she stopped by his side if he had not moved and looked to him.

"Recently previous mission I fought enemy forces and they could not kill me. Do you think I am immortal?" She would say shaking her head." I am bold and fortune will favor me.But I am not foolish nor rash. My survival is from my training and discipline which sees me through. Which is why I deal with all adversaries,adversities, and everything else in between and take care of those I love." Walking past him Tenshina chuckled." Your coldness does well to temper the will of others but mine is already iron. Now enough with all this complicated speech it doesn't bode well for such a beautiful day." She would finish before throwing up a hand and stretching out her arms. "I do sense that words of conviciton won't be enough to garner your respect as of yet."

[An'ei Sekitan]

”I see now. You think those mere trials worthy.” Sekitan had waited until she had passed, not even bothering to turn and face her while he spoke, just as she had spoken without facing him. A second Sekitan would step forth from nothingness, straight from his back, this one facing Tenshina with a cold look in its emerald eyes, silver hair wafting slightly in an ocean breeze. The smell and taste of salt in the air mixed with the aromas of the ocean and the food being cooked in the kitchen. Shadow Sekitan (S. Sekitan) held a bone nodachi of his own, looking down on Tenshina with her back to him, while Original Sekitan (O. Sekitan) walked a few steps away. He would begin to stretch some distance away as he had been before, going through the Kata once more, but keeping an eye on the two of them simultaneously.

“Perhaps you would like to prove these words of yours,” S. Sekitan began, flicking the sand at her once more with the tip of his blade, the cold look never leaving his eyes. He would raise the point of the blade toward her, pointing it directly at her back if she did not turn, or center of her chest between her breast if she did turn still a meter away. It was clear he was issuing a challenge, it was also clear from the Kage Bunshin if she noticed, that Sekitan was not taking it very seriously. At least it seemed that way.

[jintai]

Sand was flicked towards her back as she saw 2 Seikitan with one standing in front of her 1m away. In response she sighed thinking to herself how she just wanted to enjoy the day however it seemed that he was determined to force her to prove her mettle. Although she wanted to walk away it would seem that  he might attack her from behind so she faced him deciding her plan of action."I understand." She would have said building up chakra to her bones reinforcing them.   " I'll accept your challenge then." She would say before infusing chakra once again during her second sentence releasing  10 halos of bright yellow light. 6 floated behind her  back aimless while she kept 4 floating in front of her chest. Bright light shining intensely.

The beach was open and not to mention she had the open sea around behind her. Meaning she could let loose a little like only she knew how to. Other than that he was obviously a close range fighter versus to her she would need to watch out for highspeed movements and stay on her toes. With her bones she had a fail safe if he broke through her initial guard.

[An'ei Sekitan]

As the girl turned to face S. Sekitan, he lowered his bone nodachi and held it as if sheathed, even stepping back three more meters to give her some breathing room before she spoke. He listened to her words, short as they were, but he would not let her get her bearings however, as that was not how combat was fought. The blade whipped up lightning quick between them, cutting the air between them with a blur of speed, climbing to the heavens. Sand exploded in a wave two meters before him in a 35 meter cone. Not a single wave of sand, but five waves in total, one right after the other almost immediately. Pillars of rock exploded from the sand as well, five in total, each shorter than the next. The first two were five meters in height, the next two were only 4 meters in height, while the last was a three meters. The first two would punch through where Tenshina had been standing previously. The real damage was in the cone however, the wave of force that cause the sand to explode, that caused the pillars. While flashy, it would only do a mere 126 AP damage and 20 necrotic damage should Tenshina be struck. It was often a technique he used as a battle warm up to see just how quick his opponent was.

S.Sekitan’s and O. Sekitan’s emerald eyes never left her though, watching as the events took place, tracking her movements so that he could effectively counter. Even a weak opponent could surprise you if you were careless, a trait that Sekitan did not possess. He equally lacked the capacity to underestimate any that would fight him or even be near him. S. Sekitan would leap back then, covering 5 meters easily, watching and waiting to see where the girl would go, assuming that his strike had not been enough to take her out. Of course, if she had been hit by a pillar as well, that would be another moderately powerful blow (126 AP again). It would not be prudent to have to speak to the Kage about the demise of a Snow Shinobi during a spar, so hopefully she was quick.

[jintai]

She made sure to keep her 4 rings of light at her chest as she moved.Tenshina immediately jumped towards  left 5m  while facing Clone Seikitana  while building up chakra. Avoiding the wave of sand and rocks that had attacked her original position.She wasn't entirely surprised to see him leading with a sword attack.Landing she would release another bone pillar in front of her 7m to block sight and use for cover before jumping back at a diagonal angle behind the bone pillar wall.She started stringing together seals for a final jutsu releasing her chakra in to the air. Her reinforced bones would last for 15 minutes increasing her jumping ability and making her more tough than usual as well as agile for the most part.She pondered how to handle this from here on out seeing as she was outclassed in physical prowess and strength of chakra itself.

[An'ei Sekitan]

S. Sekitan would not deter the girl as she enacted her plan, leaping out of the way of his attack as he had expected, five meters to the left of him, putting her at least seven meters away. A Pillar of Bone would rise before Sekitan, high enough to attempt to block his sight, but he was already on the move, without really moving. Blink! He would be behind the girl now, directly behind her, three meters away still however. Emerald eyes would watch as she leapt diagonally from that spot, handseal after handseal, yet he merely watched her until she landed, turning with her movement some four meters away. “I hope your only skill isn’t in running, girl,” he would say, a slight bit of amusement tinged his voice, “I’ll wait to see what you come up with. It should be…entertaining.” O. Sekitan was chuckling, now relaxing on one of the beach chairs, a muscled arm behind his head, the Bone Nodachi of his own propped against the head of it. He was drinking something blue that gave off the chill of something frozen and yet liquid.

[jintai]

Having established her moves Tenshina would activate her next technique sacrificing  of the central  halo on her back the 2nd to last halo from the left being able to peer through the ring just in case he had any fuckery for her.And as such the old man was trailing behind her and she had no idea when. It might have to do with the words the original had said. Regardless she smirked calling out to the jutsu she released before hand as 3 columns of wind coiled and fell in front of Tenshina.It created a "My talent is destruction." She said boldly before applying chakra to her 5 halo bring another one to her front. 10 tendrils would have burst from each one as she swiped her hand through them. After this 4 would have traversed one to her left, right and behind her. The last one would fly in front of her as they all expanded 25m with the tendrils inside growing to half a meter. It was one of her best moves as of yet. The rings were still intangible until fully expanding so the ring in front of her was able to pass through the wind wall.

However she would hold the release of the tendrils before the wind columns would soon cease and if he had moved behind her she was still able to see having 2 of the left over 6 halos connected to allow her to visibly see behind her. This tactic would either draw her opponent in for her next move or keep him at bay to release her tendrils.

[An'ei Sekitan]

S. Sekitan raised an eyebrow at the girl. She seemed to be burning through quite a bit of chakra going on the defensive like this when S. Sekitan had not even attacked again, but it was smart to be wary, that could keep people alive as well. He was the wary sort as well however, closing a fist that allowed his finger bones to fall into his palm and reform. Shaking his hand, he would rattle the bones and infuse them with Necrotic Chakra, then throw them over the Wind Wall to the beach sand behind Tenshina. Twenty-five Skeletons would arise from the beach sand, growing to full height instantly, their orders already clear. “Strike her down,” S. Sekitan would say clearly and the Skeletons would move in, while he would move as well.

[Skeletons]

The undead would fan out, spreading from their point of origin five meters away, each moving to encircle her save for five that began to move forward to fill in the holes. The horseshoe that the skeletons would make would have no openings in it, as they advanced on the girl quickly, rushing toward her to grapple her to the ground, leaping if necessary. If successful, the Skeletons would pin her to floor, using their weight to keep her pinned with seven Skeletons. The remaining Eighteen would begin to pummel the girl anywhere they could, kicking her sides and head, stomping her legs when they could, and striking as often as possible. Any time she would shift, one of her captors would punch her in the back of the skull, while some of the others would rake bony claws down her flesh. Each hit from the Skeletons would only do minimal damage (10 AP), but the sheer number of them would be devastating (multiply damage by 25).

[S. Sekitan]

Booted feet would easily launch from the sand and over the Wall of Wind (270 Jump Good), however it would seem as if he merely stood on the other side of that wall for the moment, yet the Spring Bone technique enhancing him quickly and easily until he was above his target. Again, he would vanish, leaving behind another after image that would appear 54 meters above Tenshina. 64 meters in the sky, S. Sekitan would point the blade down toward his target and begin to freefall, the design being to strike the target below for devastating damage, having already raised the blade for the beginning of the technique during the leap. All that remained was possible contact for devastating results.

[jintai]

Tenshina  seeing the skeletons spawn behind her as the halo that spanned 25m on all 4 sides around would release 10 5m diameter tendrils in a rapid succession destroying everything around her.Regardless she would have pounced toward the enroaching circle of skeletons with her boosted leg strength toward the ocean while protruding bones and spinning wildly with her dance of the larch jutsu. This would clean up the remaining skeletons as bones extending from her arms ,shoulders, palms, and torso and back alike shredding everything. She would use her last few movements to follow up with another final frenzy trying to kill the skeletons and clear a safe passage towards the water.

[An'ei Sekitan]

S. Sekitan would land upon the beach sand amidst the destruction, watching as Tenshina would spin toward his remaining skeletons, and he would begin to amass the chakra necessary to detonate the remaining ten that were blocking the path of the girl. A hand on his shoulder stopped him, a single nod occurring, before S. Sekitan popped from existence in a puff of smoke. The original Sekitan stood in his place, surveying the beach itself, then looking to Tenshina spinning through the remaining skeletons without resistance. He was sure she would stop when she noticed. Crossing his arms, emerald eyes weighed the girl again, but there was not much change to notice beyond learning of a few new things he had not known when he went in the tank. “You have powerful techniques, but you are two defensive,” he would remark, his deep baritone carrying over the sound of the waves, “You are lacking in observation as well. Never lose sight of your main target or they may overtake you. Striking my clone should have been your highest priority, as it appears those rings you can create are for more than just appearance. Use only enough to keep the skeletons at bay next time you are in that situation, perhaps even leaping over your own wall, just as my clone did. Easier to fight one than twenty-six.”

[jintai]

The detonation of the skeletons wash over her as she used the force to manipulate to spin out of her attack before landing in a kneeling position sighing somewhat heavily. She retracted her bone spurs clenching her first before taking a deep breathe and standing as the lecture was about to begin. Although she did realize it would be beneficial to listen to the advice. She already knew what she was lacking however she was nowhere near her full potential. She was quite warmed up from the intensity as she walked back over arms folded getting her earful." I can't fight at close range whatsoever. It's my fundamental flaw and the only jutsu I know of offensively are of B rank and above. I do not have any practical jutsu I can use with my rings or my ice jutsu.  I have recently picked up the staff and soon I plan to reacquire these items known as AirTreks to make up for such things." Tenshina spit out."I was forced to fight defensively however the wind jutsu I used allowed me great versatility so I needed to draw you in and strike full force. You are too agile for me to risk fighting with that non the less."

She looked up to meet his eyes however with a calm expression. "However I must thank you for unveiling my weakness to light. I have a lot to work on other than just blowing things up with my chakra reserves." And with that her strong grip of her forearm released as she relaxed some waiting to hear what else he had to say.She was honest and whole hearted with her words and hope he had more sound advice to give her.

[An'ei Sekitan]

Sekitan listened to her words impassively, no emotion showing on his face, blinking only once during her entire speech. After she was done, he gave her a single nod of his head, finally coming to understand a little of the way he was. He had learned a bit about her as well in that brief battle exchange, more than he had, and he saw that she still had a long way to go. As did he, but they would not grow together. “Work on your Taijutsu, but also work on your tactics as well, and always remain observant.” He would turn from her then and begin making his way to the stairs that had led down to the beach. “Once you have grown a bit more, I will test you again. Be ready.” With that he was up the stairs and away.

[Exit. Letting you free so you can find someone that posts faster than I do. I post too slow for you to get your Airtreks.]

[jintai]

Tenshina said nothing as it seemed they had come to an agreement. She honored his words of wisdom nodding in response as he walked way up the stairs. Sighing she internalized before sprouting wings from her back as she flapped once for good measure.It had seamed that her day at the beach for relaxation was easily cut short. Non the less it would be better to get back to training regardless anyway. Jumping in to the air she flapped away heading back to the village to hit up her training partner and parents. She needed to quickly develop her flaws and cover them.

[Exit]
