Teaching Ayame vs. Owen

[|Ayame Unbound|]

The scene is set in a tranquil forest. Massive trees enclose a small clearning where the ninjas would begin their fight. Leaves and sticks scattered the ground making silence nearly impossible. This fight would not be about sneak attacks, but about skill in battle.

In the center of the clearing stood a green haired kunoichi. Patiently she waited for her sparring partner to arrive.

[owen]

Owen entered from the trees into the clearing. He wore his headband tightly on his forehead, although it was partially covered by his mop of hair..

As he walked toward the green haired kunoichi he pulled on his left glove, ensuring they were tight. He quickly tapped the hilt of his katana, making sure that it was right where it was ten minute ago, a bit of an OCD thing.

"I hope I'm not late.." he called toward the kunoichi as he pulled on his right glove," Wouldn't want to keep you waiting."

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Ayame shook her head. "I'm early," she promised. "Are you ready to start or do you need to warm up?" She asked kindly, she wasn't called Nee-san for nothing after all! The girl quickly stretched her arms. She was already to go.

She cast a glance at the vines and trees around her and nodded, pleased with the surroundings. There was even a small brook to her left, perfect for water users.

[owen]

"I'm ready.."He readied himself, crouching into a low stance, his hands hovering above his katana.

While perched in this position, he made sure to keep an eye on any environmental elements the kunoichi might use. After all, a grassy clearing surrounded by forest must favor someone wearing a grass headband.

"Go ahead, start when you wish."

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Ayame nodded and dumped a bag of seeds upside down. A quick set of hand seals and her seeds transformed into a meadow of flowers. She bowed mockingly. "Game point," she warned him. Implying that she would finish this quickly if he wasn't careful.

Puranto Ninpou : Haeru
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: ---
Drawback: ---
Special: ---
Description: A basic technique of the Hanako, where the user molds a certain types of chakra which he can feed to the clan’s special seeds through contact and make them grow in seconds. This is the first of the clan techniques the members of Hanako learn, for it’s needed to most of the other techniques; For example, when the user needs flower for Hana Ninpou, a single small bag of the special seeds can grow to a full-sized, flower filled meadow even in sand and snow.
Limit: Hanakora technique

[owen]

"Not good.."

Owen was expecting something to burst forth from the background, manipulated by a technique. However he wasn't expecting his opponent to add a new element to the game..

By her ominous words, those flowers meant no good. It would only be in his best interest to destroy them. His hands were brought toward his center.

"Katon! Housenka no Jutsu!"

He pulled his hands to his side, wielding balls of fire in his hands. He rocketed the first toward the growing patch of flowers, doing his best to ensure that they spread no further. If all went well, the fire would spread enough to burn any other flowers still sprouting. He tossed one more toward the kunoichi, in hopes to get her off her feet. He kept the last two in his hands, waiting to see if they have a better purpose.

Katon - Housenka no Jutsu (Mythical Fire Phoenix Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of spiting out, or emitting out a series of small fireballs in the size of a six inches to a foot in diameter to where the user is capable of hurling them towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The user is only capable of hurling out four small fire balls towards the opponent at one time.
Description: The user performs a few quick handseals as they quickly take the same concept as that of the Goukakyuu no Jutsu. The user then spits out or hurls out up to five small sized fire balls towards the enemy. Each fire ball creates massive amounts of burns but does not burst forth in an explosion. As each fire ball makes contact with something they spread out the fire creating a more of an area effect within the fire. The user is capable of using this technique in conjunction with multiple secondary weapons such as kunais or shurikens. The opponent is uncapable of noticing the kunais or the shurikens until the very fire is extingwishes in mid air. This technique is used typically to hide or to be used as a diversion for more of a powerful technique.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

[|Ayame Unbound|]

"No!" Ayame shouted as she formed an insanley fast string of seals. She exhaled quickly and let a large blast of air shove his fireball back at him. With that done another set of hand seals followed. A large cloud of pollen rose from her flowers to scatter across the arena, effecting the sense of anyone who was not a Hanakora.

Fuuton - Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)
Rank: C Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: ---
Description: This is a Ninjutsu which utilizes the Wind Element. After bringing their hands to their mouth, the user will blow a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything in its way.
Limit: Wind Release

Name:: Pollen Pollution
Rank:: C
Skill:: ninjutsu
Effect:: Creates a cloud of pollen to hinder the opponents vision and breathing. If user is of higher or equal class to the opponent, effects are normal. If one class above, the effects are lessened ( breathing normal ) and 2 or more higher the effects are nearly negated (runny nose still in effect)
Special:: hand seals
Drawback:: If not in the Hanakora clan, the user may be affected.
Description:: When standing in a field of flowers, the user can string hand seals together and release a cloud of pollen from the flowers that floats through the air. It irritates the eyes, making them watery and itchy, makes the nose run, and makes deep breathing difficult. The Hanakora have developed immunity to their own flowers allergens so they will not be affected. They will dissipate in 5 turns unless blown away by wind or washed away by water.
Limit:: Hanako Clan

[owen]

"Oh give me a break.."

He ducked fast as a fireball whizzed over top of him, smashing into the tree behind him and disappearing. The second had landed ten yards in front of him due to the angle of the throw, a small pyre had been started, he would use this to mask his assault.

"Like I'll let some cloud of pollen stop me.."

He threw two more fireballs toward the kunoichi, and dashed toward the small smoking fire, still far away from the growing cloud of pollen. He reached into his pouch to plan his attack.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Ayame sighed as his fireballs moved towards her. "If it didn't work the first time..." her hands were already forming the seals, she drew in a deep breath and once more her winds knocked the fire back at the boy.

With that done she positioned her arm so it was facing towards the boy. She pulled a string on the strange black contraption and five senbon hurtled towards him, going 1.5 times faster than a normal senbon.

Fuuton - Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)
Rank: C Rank

Limit: Wind Release

[owen]

Terrible eyes befell the oncoming assault of senbon and reflected balls of fire. Some device must have launched the senbon, as they traveled with an almost unattainable speed for the human body.

He dodged fast, but despite his limber movements and best efforts, two senbon still found themselves in his right side, just below his ribcage, "Shit.."

He wasted no time in pulling them out, doing his best to make it seem to the kunoichi as though he had dodged all of them. He crouched behind the large blaze, out of sight from the dangerous kunoichi, who seemed to have the annoying ability to reflect nearly every projectile.

His hope would have to rest on his skill in Taijutsu. His right side was definitely hurting, although he wasn't sure if they would hinder his movements or not. He drew his katana, still hidden behind the pyre, he focused his chakra into the blade, causing it to glow a deep red. He lifted it carefully, and then brought it down at a frightening speed. A bright read jet of condensed chakra and flame shot out toward the green haired maiden. This would either serve as a valuable distraction or a formidable hinder toward his opponent.

As soon as the blade was dropped down, he was already dashing around the pyre in a grand curve at an almost unrecognizable pace, so fast that another image of himself lingered as he dashed berserk toward the kunoichi. If all had gone as planned, the Hiisuraisu would catch her eye as another futile projectile, and by the time she acted accordingly and reflected it Owen would be close enough to loose his special attack. If not, then perhaps she reacted to Owen first, her side would most likely be exposed toward the flying Hiisuraisu, scoring a small but worthy hit.

If she managed to flee both, however, then at least Owen wouldn't have to deal with that annoying pollen..

Hiisuraisu
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Prejects a sickle-shaped jet of fire from a bladed weapon.
Special: ---
Drawback: Only travles in a straight line
Description: The user draws a deep breath and pushes chakra into the desired weapon. Using the fire release, the use swings, and unleashes a sickle-like jet of fire traveling in the direction of the swing. It travels until it hits something solid basically, or until nature disarms it. (storm, strong winds, etc.)
Limit: Fire Release, bladed weapon needed

Sugizou
Rank: “C”
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: Creates an After Image of Self
Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be done ten times a day after learned due to abuse within Muscles, but each time trained one may do more and more. The user is only capable of making one at a time.
Description: The after image technique is the technique that allows the user to move side to side with extreme speed and towards a general direction creating an after image of the person. When learning this technique a person may only do Ten after images per day. If one wishes goes more then this number tissue has a chance to rip and tear. To be able to do more then ten per day one they must train for each again to create one more. This is the basis techniques for all techniques that may consist or deal with moves that deal with the After Image. This means that if a user wishes to know a technique that uses an after image they must have knowledge of this technique as well. Depending on how many after images a user uses within a technique is dependent on how many times this technique is known.
Limit: Universal Technique

[|Ayame Unbound|]

As the flames rushed forwards she remained stationary. The flames clipped her side, burning through her dress and burning her skin. She dove her hand into a pouch on her belt and slapped three leaves across the burn. The cool leaves began their healing work as she formed a quick set of hand seals.

As soon as her student reached the edge of her flower bed his movement would stop. her shadow snaked under the flowers, gaining length from the shadows of the flora themselves, allowing her shadow to reach out and snag her apprentice.

Kagemane no Jutsu, ‰e^Ž—‚̏p (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "C", "B", "A" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The signature move of the Nara family, this jutsu allows the user to control their own shadow and merge it with their opponent's shadow, combining them. This links the movements of the user with the target; the target is subsequently forced to make any movement the user makes. It is an extremely versatile technique, as the user can contract and change the shape of their shadow, potentially grabbing multiple targets at once. The degree to which the user's shadow can be stretched is limited by its total surface area.
Special: "Hanseals"
Drawback: Must Be Learned Multiple times in order to truly achieve something grand. Must hold Rat hand seal until the technique connects with the targets shadow.
Description: Using the shadows of other objects, the user can extend their shadow beyond its normal range. The amount of time for which an opponent can be held is limited by the user's chakra, since the user must constantly maintain the jutsu. The jutsu is also more difficult to maintain at greater ranges or for multiple opponents, since the user's shadow must be stretched constantly. At closer ranges, it requires considerably less effort on the user's part. Additionally, the target can force their way free with enough effort, though the amount of effort required to do so is considerable. There are two tables or understandings for this technique that consists of the Difficulty class of the User as well as the Opponent, and as to how far the user is capable of using this technique. When first learned the user is only capable of using this technique at a distance of Ten meters. Each higher Rank archived, the user is capable of extending the shadow another five meters. The user must first however, learn each rank a certain amount of times before then next rank is obtainable. The C rank version must be learned five times total. At which point the ditance is upgraded to "B" Rank training and now extends ten meters each time trained. This version must be learned 3 times total. The "A" Rank version, extends the range to Seventy meters, and every additional "A" Rank training extends it another ten meters. This technique caps out at 100 meters. The user is capable of making their shadow split and by doing so takes up the distance of the total form of the original technique. This means that if a user has this technique to where they can use thirty meters and wishes to make this technique split to three shadows the maximum distance is ten meters per shadow.

Difficulty on Escaping: Escaping the Kagemane is a tricky art for some, easier for others. Depending on your Stamina and Difficulty class depends on how well the opponent can escape the Kagemane. The Kagemane is held for a Certain time frame depending on Rank of the technique learned. "C" Rank can be held for 18 seconds before it breaks no matter what. "B" Rank 36 seconds, "A" Rank 54 Seconds. For every difficulty class the user is above the opponent, add another five seconds. If the opponent for every difficulty class above th user, subtract five seconds. If the Opponent captured is a Taimaster, subtract 15 seconds additionally. If the opponent is a Tai specialist, subtract 5 additional seconds. If the opponent is a Taijutsu No specialist, leave it as is. After doing the math, the amount of turns held will be apparent.
Limit: Nara Clan Technique
C rank - learned twice

[owen]

Owen was sprinting furiously toward the green-haired kunoichi. He watched as his Hiisuraisu hit the mark, but she merely healed it and proceeded with some hand signs..

Before Owen knew it, a thin black figure was reaching out toward him, a shadow. He had heard of these techniques before, manipulating the shadows to attack, but he wasn't having any of it.

As he dashed toward the kunoichi with her hands in the sign of the rat he reached into his pack, taking one hikari out.

He held the hikari between his middle finger and thumb as he swung his weight back for a moment while running. When he was in range of her with his technique, he leaped skyward, her shadow drawing ever near to his.

He span furiously once around in mid-air, and then threw his arm down, snapping the hikari against the ground. The blast of light was under and below him. He was affected, but only slightly.

The kunoichi however, would take the full effect of the blast, as well as her shadow, which at the light would retract back behind the small shadows of the flowers.

Owen's force and momentum continued from the jump, as that force and his entire weight was behind the arm which was then moving from behind his body to in front of it, undoubtedly toward the dazed and broken kunoichi as well. As she would have been furiously tossed out of a technique that requires full concentration and even a static handsign, into a blinded daze, it's unlikely that she would recover in time to dodge of even defend against the technique. This was the way of the Dragon Hammer.

Name:Dragon Hammer
Rank:C rank short range offensive(0-5m)
Skill:Taijutsu
Effect:A rather strong punch with decent speed, and a possibly confusing spin.
Special:Taijutsu requires no handseals to perform.
Drawback:None
Description:The user will jump at the foe in a sort of sideways spin, and upon landing right in front of the foe they will use the built up speed and power from the spin to unleash a closed fist slam into the foe's collar bone region, possibly breaking the bone or stunning the foe momentarily. Exactly which hand the attack will be used with is hard to predict and therefore more difficult to dodge than normal despite it being of average speed.
Limit:None, Universal Technique

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Light filled her eyes. She couldn't see, no way for her to tell if an attack was coming. However she still knew the backdrop well enough to maybe escape. However her money was riding on the fact that her opponent could still see. Three hand seals was all it would take before her opponent would see swirling cherry blossoms overtaking her body. As the blossoms began to disappate the girl would be gone from view, hiding behind a tree and waiting for her sight to clear.

Sakura Tonsou-Waza [Cherry Blossom Escape Technique]
Rank: C.
Skill: Genjustu.
Effect: After performing this justu, the user will dissolve into a shower of cherry blossoms which will confuse their target as they escape or hide.
Special: Bird, Serpent, Rat.
Drawback: -----
Description: This flower petal technique is a Genjutsu utilized by the Hanakora Clan. If the user comes under attack, they can use this technique to cover their escape. After forming the needed hand seals, the user's body will disperse into a shower of flower petals. These petals will confuse and distract their opponent while they escape or hide.
Limit: Hanakora Technique.

[owen]

"Hmph.."

Owen grunted angrily, he had really hoped to put the finishing blow on his teacher, but as he was coming down she had used three lightning fast handsigns, and all he had rocked behind his fist was a bunch of cherry blossoms, "An escape technique..just when I thought I was doing alri--ACHOO.."

Owen rubbed his nose as he looked at his surroundings, "Hiding in the thick, no doubt.." He murmured with a nasal sound as he quickly performed some handsigns. Balls of fire appeared in his hands as he crouched down and lit the large patch flowers ablaze before jumping away from the giant bonfire.

He surveyed his surroundings again, "Take no chances.." he whispered as he readied himself for anything his teacher might throw at him.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

Her vision returned slowly, allowing her to face the tree trunk and prepare. She set her hands on the rough bark and filled the tree with poison, the leaves turned a bright alluring shade of green. With that done she formed a fast set of hand seals and lept into the air, echaling deeply as she did so. A hundred leaves were knocked free from the branches to scatter gracefully to the ground.

Fuuton - Daitoppa (Great Breakthrough)
Rank: C Rank
Type: Ninjutsu
Effect: ---
Description: This is a Ninjutsu which utilizes the Wind Element. After bringing their hands to their mouth, the user will blow a large blast of wind capable of leveling almost anything in its way.
Limit: Wind Release

[owen]

Owen turned to see a tree's leaves change in colour almost instantly, from a dark, whispy green to a vibrant lime, "Found her.." He chuckled jokingly.

As he drew his katana, he witnessed her jumping upwards, out of the tree, and using that wind jutsu she was so good with to blow vibrant leaves onto the ground. Owen instantly knew her plan.

The leaves were obviously no longer normal, poisoned or enhanced in some way, probably. She would use them as a weapon, to cut, poison, and ultimately defeat him.

Owen looked around him one more time. It didn't matter how she planned on using these leaves to assault him, he had no static defense against them. It seemed as though defeat was imminent, and so it should be, he was up against his teacher after all.

He stepped forward, "I guess you have me beat..but I refuse to yield or tap.."

He drew his katana and dashed toward her, creating in after image in his wake, "There are times to retreat..but only when you have something to lose!"

Loosing one more Hiisuraisu before continuing his run, Owen would dash toward the tree adjacent to Ayame and her leaves, kicking off and cutting vertically downward, hopelessly toward his teacher.

[|Ayame Unbound|]

The bolt of fire caught her leg causing her to wince. The hesitation almost cost her her life as Owen came upon her. A shunshin saved her just in time. Fifteen feet away, that was enough for her to enact her plan. A small set of hand seals and her leaves took flight swirling around her opponent with razor edges. Not one would touch his skin. If he moved however the poison would enter his veins.

"Game point. Do you surrender now? If you move the poison will kill you."

Shunshin no Jutsu, ug‚̏p, (Body Flicker Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Type: NinJutsu
Effect: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported.
Special: ---
Drawback The user is only capable of doing this THREE Times per day after learning it the first time. Each time learned the user is capable of going into this multiple times. Each time learned the user is capable using this technique an extra turn per day. If the user uses this technique more then stated, the user's muscles will cramp and render the user unable to run about.
Description: This jutsu is a high-speed movement technique, allowing a ninja to move short distances at an almost untraceable speed. To an observer, it appears as if the user has teleported. A puff of smoke is occasionally used to disguise the user's movements. It is accomplished by using chakra to temporarily boost the user's reflexes. The amount of chakra required depends on the overall distance between the user and their intended destination. Shisui Uchiha, one of the most talented Uchiha, was feared as "Shisui of the Body Flicker" ("Shunshin no Shisui"), likely referring to this technique.

Mokuton: Kamisorikonoha (Razor Leaves)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A large array of leaves swirls around the user. Using chakra, the user sharpens the edge of the leaf to be able to cut through skin and thin cloth with great ease.
Special: Holding Rabbit seal.
Drawback: If the user stops holding the Rabbit seal, then the leaves lose their edge and drop to the ground.
Description: The user performs the Rabbit seal and holds it. Large amounts of leaves begin to blow in a circle around the user and instantly, chakra sharpens the edge to allow the leaves to be able to cut skin and thin cloth. Holding the seal, which is required to keep the jutsu active, also actively drains chakra per turn in order to keep the leaves in motion and to keep their edge. The user can direct the leaves in any direction, effectively creating a wall to keep out enemy shinobi or using it as an offensive tool.
Limit: Mokuton no Jutsu

[owen]

Owen smirked. He wasn't about to be forced into surrender under terms meant for goodwill.

"That's funny.." He stood still as he spoke, "I thought we both came here to spar..not so you could kill me. Which makes me wonder why you would waste time and chakra giving these leaves a lethal poison in the first place..either that or it's a bluff, a rouse to force an early surrender out of me..Well?"

He hadn't yet put his katana away.

"Why would you want to kill me?"

[|Ayame Unbound|]

"I wouldn't want to kill you. But with your refusal to surrender I was forced to put you in this situation. The poison if there but it is also weak enough to the point where I can heal you," the girl stated simply.

She let one of the leaves shoot towards herself and caught it expertley between her index and middle finger. She stepped closer to her student and snapped the leaf in half, letting liquid drip onto the ground. Within seconds the grass the liquid touched had died. She tossed the leaf aside and wiped her hands on her dress.

[owen]

Owen lifted his arms in a way to signify that he didn't know, he shrugged accordingly, "I don't ever remember you asking me if I surrender..but, it doesn't matter." He shrugged with a sigh, " You've got me in a bind, teacher.."

Owen sheathed his katana, "However, I hate the feeling of yielding, it makes me feel as though I got off too easy, like there's more I could have done. Please save me that patronage, teacher. You've taught me much and I have learned well today, but I'm done fighting."

He sat cross legged, "You can, of course, collapse this dome of spinning leaf now if you think I'd try to pull a fast one on you, teacher, it would just be a nuisance to tend to the poison is all."

Owen sighed once again, "At any rate, I thank you sincerely for taking the time to teach me, and I hope that I've served well as your pupil."
