The moonlight shone softly through the forest, peeping through the trees and casting small shafts of light. Although the moonlight was dim, it provided enough illumination for the forest to see the ground. The trees were tall, with branches protruding from the trunks like the legs of a stick insect. The majority of the branches were shrouded in leaves, casting even more shadows along the forest floor. Small creatures scurried along the moss-covered ground and darted beneath the forest's round bushes. Behind her, a twig snapped, followed by the soft rustling of a nearby bush.

Cree had no idea where it was; all she knew was that it was somewhere behind her. Her heart rate increased to the point where it was pounding in her ears. Despite her lack of knowledge about Savage's current location, the cool metallic feeling of the shuriken in her right hand was comforting. She shifts slowly to the right, pressing her back against the tree as she cautiously peers around the trunk for the source of the noise. Nothing comes to mind in her immediate vision, but the sound of another bush rustling causes her to pull back and press up against the tree. The sound came from directly behind the tree. She was dissatisfied with this information and hoped the forest would tell her more. Cree was able to hear the sounds again after forcing her heart rate to regulate itself.

The faint sound of breathing indicates that Savage is nearby, though his exact location is unknown. As she turns around to face the tree, the shuriken warms in her palm. However, the moment she turns, the hairs on the back of her neck stand up and a dull pain begins to build from behind her. Her body was stiff now, her muscles clenched. She knew Savage was behind her when she heard a quick intake of breath and the sound of fabric scraping against something. Throwing herself sharply to the right, Cree land on her side and throws her hands back behind her as she crawls backward. The glint of the blade strikes the tree right where her head was moments before, and the axe handle is nothing more than a dark stain. Her attention is drawn back to Savage as he prepares for another throw. Cree flipped to her feet and began darting through the woods, her shuriken clutched tightly in her right hand. She chose the nearest tree because it had a low enough branch for her to jump up onto.

As the faint whoosh alerts her, the sensation in the back of her neck does not fade. As Cree pushes herself upward and onto the tree, the second-hand axe strikes the tree right beside her. Her left-hand grabs a branch in front of her and pulls hard, propelling her body forwards while twisting around. Cree lands backwards on another branch and flicks her wrist, releasing the weapon as soon as she touches it down. The small projectile sails through the forest, unseen in the darkness, before embedding itself in something hard. The Kamyuja hears no grunt, indicating that Savage was not the object it had struck. However, she takes a step to the right and flicks her wrist again, this time an underarm throw, and her weapon hits its target, Savage's right shoulder taking a direct hit, the shuriken sticking out of the flesh. He lets out a cry before being knocked back by the force of her throw. "The game is over!" Cree yells into the distance. Bone tired finally taking hold.

Defensive Throw [10]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu/Supplementary
Effect: A technique in which if the user has his sights set on a target ready to attack, the senses of the Throwing Specialist is so in tuned with his surroundings the user is unable to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Throwing Specialist is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Throwing Specialist.

Shunshin no Jutsu - Oshi (Body Flicker Technique - Push)
000 | 010 TP

It had been difficult for her to survive in her own backyard without the Shunshin techniques. Although she tried hard to remember, she was unable to grasp whether she had ever used this technique before. The memory eluded her. Although the others had remained inside cleaning their wounds or grabbing a bite to eat, she stood outside. Instead of eating, she was healed and prepared. To gain more speed, she would need to make use of her chakra, which awoke on and around her ankles and feet.

She was naturally slow and clumsy due to her Kamyuja heritage. The fact that she was flexible merely served as a camouflage to hide the fact that she was slow and heavy. Although she had to train hard to hide her disadvantages, she must train hard again now to learn shunshin, whether she already had the skill before and couldn't remember it or not.

Alright, Cree, you got to focus. You’re a kunoichi and this technique is gonna help you in more ways than one.

When Cree took a step forward, she felt the chakra already pulsating in her toes and ankles and immediately noticed it was unnecessary to take that step. Using chakra imbued feet, she pushed forward, letting her feet move while looking down to be certain that she was doing it correctly.

The chakras, invisible to the naked eye, burst forth from her feet as she raced, with a lively pace so that she did not fall flat on her face. The speed increase was instantaneous and sensational! As she accelerated, she glanced up to see where she was heading, and that was when she noticed him, Savage, standing at the goal post. It was too late to stop; she hadn't gotten the hang of it and trying to stop her trajectory only resulted in her careening into him.

Naturally, Savage laughed off the body slam, finding her funny moments entertaining. But she was embarrassed, especially since those inside her manor were laughing as well. She gathered herself and faced the other way. Immediately, she began all over again. Cree directed chakra to her feet's soles and ankles. This time, she harnessed it through her legs as well and then resumed her dash forwards. Savage ran alongside her, unaffected by the energy, and reminded her that she needed to run in a straight line. If she tried to change her path, she'd have to use a different method called an ark, which wouldn't work in this state. Instead, he encouraged her to run faster.

"Come on, go! Faster! Until you start to feel the burn!" While they sprinted the entire length of her back lard, Savage encouraged her, keeping pace and keeping watch. But she was already exhausted. The burn spread until her sides ached from the effort she was putting in to keep the shunshin going. As she struggled to breathe, her eyes began to hydrate, but she didn't deter. The key to success was determination, and she wanted, needed to succeed. As she pressed harder, her thighs burned and trembled.

She widened her length with each step until she ran out of room to run. "How do you stop?!" She yelled, but once again she was too slow in her judgement and skidded into the fence. This time, there was no laughter. There was no embarrassment. She just lay there, quivering and struggling for air to enter her lungs. Savage walked up to her and placed his hand on her left breast.

"Calm your heart before you have a heart attack. Cree, don't push yourself too hard. There is a reason why your bloodline prevents you from being fast. All your strength, your muscle. It is heavy on you physically. You need to build up endurance slowly. There is no need to rush into things. Now, take a few deep breaths and, we'll try again." As the world continue to spin, she realised that despite this technique might be easy for others, but to her it was hard.

Savage means well, but he can be a bit bossy at times. Cree knows he's just worried, but he has a habit of going overboard. She sat up but remains seated, panting heavily. As Savage walks away, muttering that he will get her a drink, she recalls watching Savage in the past, at how he moves so quickly that she would lose track of him in one moment until he reappeared a few metres later in another location. She was envious of him. She wanted that ability. Craved it. She could taste it, it was within her reach. If only her body would cooperate.

She noticed that when other people used this technique, they were also tensing their muscles, as evidenced by the appearance of veins or muscle bulges. When they had finished tensing, they pushed themselves forwards abruptly, as if they were taking off. Cree rose to her feet and tensed the muscles in her legs, giving this different idea a go. She could feel her muscles constricting. Her entire body was focusing solely on moving forwards. She felt nothing for a moment, but after a few brief seconds, she pushed her body forwards mildly and felt a peculiar force of attraction.

This was new! There was a desire to run, but there was also something else, something she couldn't put her finger on. Within moments Cree found herself stumbling forward a few steps. 'Did I make a mistake?' She was perplexed as her rage and frustration grew. She turned to scream, only to choke as she realised the now-broken fence was no longer behind her. Instead, she found herself several metres away. Cree blinked and looked back at the area she had been before, noticing minor toe marks in the grass and realising she had gone from one place to another in the space of a moment. Excitement rushed through her, and she found herself spinning in all directions, arms raised at her sides in the confused-yet-I-am-happy stance.

She came to a halt in front of the manor and noticed Savage standing there with a glass of lemonade in his hands. His expression was one of shock. Cree smiled, her muscles tightening again, and she studied the area at least two feet away from where Savage stood. She pushed herself forwards again after a few moments of intense concentration and felt the same sensation. She was being dragged against her will, but she embraced it as she leapt forwards and reappeared several metres away from where she had just moved. There was no need for chakra. Only strength. She didn't stop there, however, and had bulldozed right into Savage again, pinning him to the concrete.

The woman began jogging quickly without wasting any time. Her jog turned into an all-out run with her hands down by her sides and angled slightly back. She concentrated her chakra into her feet as they touched the ground. Instead of using brute strength, she tried the chakra style again. The technique had now become second nature to her. Short instances of contact encouraged her to accelerate, enabling her to gain momentum. Soon even her steps became blurs, strewn through the scattered trees that poked up from the forest floor.

Like an obstacle course, she weaved through them. Initially, the chakra augmenting her speed only seemed to be a simple push. Starting at her heel, it spread to encompass her ankle. She had applied this technique differently from before, and it seemed to be working. She is propelled in a zigzag pattern by a wave of pressure created by the chakra. When she released the energies, she did so only at the moment when it would augment her momentum most effectively.

Her steps became much too fast and light as she collected the woods, to make a single disturbance along the ground. In the wake of whooshing air, her body flickered between a grouping of bark and leaves. With each controlled and precise push, she advanced further and further.

It would be necessary to keep track of how often she utilized such a technique. She could already feel the strain on her limbs, the protest raised by her muscles as she moved faster, and deeper into the trees. But she continued, never breaking for at currently, she felt like she was flying and for once free. Her body burned, but currently, her lungs were fine. Not tightness to be explained as of yet, but she knew that despite her speed, she would have to face the facts that she would never be as fast as Savage or the others. Her Kamyuja blood simply prevents it.

Cree pushed herself to go a greater distance in such a short amount of time. At first, she could only get a few feet of clearance, but the chakra boosted her foot and ankle strength. However, with a little more practice, she was able to start measuring her flash-steps in metres. Plumes of smoke appeared to rise up from the forest. Uneducated people may have mistaken them for deforestation, only to be distracted by the indistinguishable sound of high-intensity impacts.

She was now hurtling through the trees. Her foot arched, attempting to push her off to the side and change her angle in the middle of the burst. She quickly discovered that she couldn't do it with the base technique alone. Then she remembered Savage mentioning an arc technique. As a result, it would not allow her to change course on her own. She made a note of it for future study and training, vowing to overcome the drawbacks even as she pushed herself further.

Even at her heightened speed, her mind took in the scenery of Konohagakure, though she could tell she was moving so quickly to change anything once she'd started going in a certain direction. It seemed obvious that she wouldn't be able to attack or defend effectively while moving at such high speeds. She wondered if it was something that could be overcome with simple training, but a few moments of completely futile attempts taught her otherwise.

This was obviously some kind of limitation inherent in the execution of the technique itself. Just like her worn-out ankles now, the chakra still rippling off on and inside of them invisibly. If all else failed and she ran out of chakra, she could rely on brute strength. Or, to put it another way, she appears to have mastered the Ninjutsu way as well.
Finally.

It was a violent battle, with blood flying everywhere. Grunts cried out. Their pain was unbearable. An unexpected attack took place. Nobody expected it. The Kamyuja fought until the very end. She wished she had more power, more strength. This was not the case. She gave it her all, however. Her death, though final, wasn't easy.

Scrap, death.
