Leon vs Iizuka! Clash!!!

[Leonov]

Location: A little tree-less circular area about twenty meters in diameter surrounded by a lot of trees. Circular area is grassy with a boulder on the west side about the size of two cars stacked on top of each other.
Time: Around 5 or 6 PM
Season: Spring
Rules: Posting Order: Leon then Iizuka

---

Leon stood in the battle area, waiting for Iizuka to get there. Leon didn't know Iizuka very well himself, but he heard that he was strong in his bug jutsus, since he was an Aburame, and Leon wanted to know how good he is. He reached up on top of his head and petted his pet raven, Serena, and then dropped his hands. He wanted to also know how strong he has gotten in the past few weeks, and will find out now.

Leon leaned against the boulder, and closed his eyes. He was calculating strategies in his mind, and will keep doing this until Iizuka gets here....

"This will be interesting..."

[zuka]

Sunlight.

The sun shone brightly upon the soon-to-be battlefield. Gentle breezes blew by, and Iizuka tread along the soft earth. The forest around him was teeming with life, and his thoughts were on what creatures, specifically bugs, inhabited such a beautiful area. Stepping through the trees, new thoughts entered his mind as he saw the one called Leon standing in the center of the open area.

The rules were simple. Spar without killing each other.

Hopefully Iizuka could do that.

[/size]

Iizuka waved to Leon as bugs rapidly crawled forth from his legs. Hidden beneath the grassy area, they positioned themselves behind a nearby tree, hidden and out of sight. Later, they would be used to fight the opposing genin. For now, they would lay there and remain hidden, awaiting their purpose. Iizuka had already planned out the entire battle, assuming everything went according to plan. It was time to begin.

[Leonov]

Leon smiled as he looked at Iizuka in the eyes, and when the boy waved his hand, Leon bowed down at him, and quickly jumped on top of the boulder that he was leaning on.

"Silent yet prompt, I like that..."

Leon then activated his Pattern Perception using his chakra, and as soon as he did, Leon did the hand seals, and then stood there, crossing his arms. Where Leon stood before, leaning on the boulder, there appeared one gruesome sight.

A torrent of leaves started racing toward Iizuka, and they engulfed him. After a few seconds, they disappeared, and where there first was nothing, there now was a hideous monster. It had the body of a dog, but instead of a dog head, there was a monstrous venus flytrap, with the head of the dog inside it. The head of the dog was scarred, and in places, it's skin was sagging, and Leon saw that the body was also peeling in places, and a smell of rotting flesh was sent throughout the area.

Leon just chuckled, and with he raised his hand and pointed a finger at Iizuka, and with a single word, the hideous creature was sent attacking Iizuka, blood in its eyes.

The creature was an illusion, but Iizuka couldn't know this without a major bloodline, like the sharingan, which was highly unlikely. The creature, though, may be an illusion, but since it was a pattern illusion, three of the five senses will be affected by it. Sight, hearing, and smelling. Touch wasn't one since it was an illusion, but Leon will make sure that Iizuka won't get touched by the creature, and taste, since even I don't think Iizuka will lick the creature.

Leon just stood there, waiting for Iizuka to retaliate...

A... Dog?

The engulfing tornado of leaves had left him with a massive dog. The skin peeled and the head was surrounded by a massive venus flytrap. The skin also sagged, and it appeared to be rotting. This was further proven by the smell of rotting flesh as the dog approached Iizuka. He merely stood there, observing it. He was not afraid of the creature, but curious of what it could do. Iizuka assumed it was a summoning technique that had been used, and so he would face this beast and its owner to the best of his abilities.

Iizuka jumped backwards and extended his arms. A massive swarm of bugs would suddenly flow from his hands and mask him from view as the buzzed about. He took this time to execute a few hand seals and disappear beneath the ground. The maneuver would be hidden by the massive swarm, and as soon as he had disappeared, the bugs flew high into the sky, seemingly retreating. He was unsure if he could use the bugs from before, but he would soon find out.

[Leonov]

Leon got mad that Iizuka didn't respond to the illusion the way he expected him to, since he was a bug specialist, and the dog did have a venus flytrap on it's head, but Leon just decided to be done with it. Iizuka won't be fazed by any of Leon's Genjutsus. Leon waved his hand, and the illusion disappeared in a dark mist. Leon stood there, looking at the swarm of bugs that flew away.

Leon thought if he can't damage Iizuka, he may as well try and hurt his bugs, so he did some hand signs, and concentrated his chakra inside his hands. They started heating up, and soon, a fire ball appeared from his hand, a foot in diameter, and with a thrust of his hand, it rocketed toward the swarm that help Iizuka. Leon smiled as the ball neared and neared, but he was also on the lookout in the ground for any disturbances, since Leon knew that Iizuka will pop out of nowhere and attack Leon...

"Come out, come out, wherever you are..."

Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a very small ball of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, toward a target.
Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand
Drawback: When the seals are over, the user extends their hands, shooting the ball of fire from their fingertips, which after repeated use (3 or more times), causes singeing which can slow down the speed of which a user can perform handseals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed toward a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly toward the opponent.
Limit: Fire Release

[zuka]

Perhaps this new opponent didn't know that Iizuka was linked to his bugs.

[/size]

The fire bolt would fly towards the bugs, and most would dodge the flaming attack. However, a few were still hit by the jutsu and were scorched, incinerating them. Iizuka, still laying below the earth, shot up in a furious rage. Rapidly, he executed a few hand seals and senbon would seemingly appear in his hand. These needles were made of bugs, and if they struck Leon, they would disperse and crawl inside his body. From there, Iizuka could direct them.

Taking careful aim, Iizuka launched the three senbon needles. With extreme accuracy and speed, the needles flew towards Leon's left bracheal nerve center, his thigh, and his right bracheal nerve center. Hopefully, the needles would strike their targets and hinder, if not stop, Leon's movements. After throwing the needles, Iizuka would dart to the left and form a clone of the bugs in his body. The clone would in turn run to the right.

This training may be performed a maximum of 9 times, allowing for a maximum ten bug clones.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu

OOC:Sorry, kind of crappy.

[Leonov]

Leon suddenly smiled evilly as he finally realized his opponents weakness. His bugs. If Leon could kill enough bugs, then his opponent will get clumsy as he gets angry, he will make mistakes, and sometimes, mistakes are the reason people die.

Leon looked at the ground to where he though Iizuka was, and as he looked, he saw three senbons fly toward him. He was about to jump out of the way, when he realized that they were made of bugs. Leon smiled, and he prepared to exploit Iizuka's weakness again.

With quick hand sings, he concentrated chakra inside his throat and his hand, and he quickly brought his hand up to his mouth as he quickly inhaled a deep breath. He connected his thumb and index finger, making a circle, and with that, he blew as hard as he can.

A stream of chakra flew out, and as soon as it touched the chakra in Leon's hand, it ignited, and out came a stream of burning hot fire. They engulfed the three senbons, and they all burned out, leaving nothing there but the smell of burning bugs and the fresh air of the trees.

Leon looked to see two Iizukas running in opposite directions, and Leon got an idea. Leon did the hand signs for the jutsu, and he put his arms out, palms facing the enemy, both of them, his left hand facing the left enemy, the right facing the right one. Leon concentrated his chakra into his hand, and as soon as he did, his arms glowed bright yellow. From his left hand, there appeared two balls of lightning, each about ten centimeters in diameter. Leon thrusted his hand, and the two small balls raced toward the left Iizuka. In Leon's other hand, there appeared a single ball of lightning, three foot in diameter, and this one flew, though at lower speed, at the right Iizuka.

(OOC: In general, the two balls that Leon can control slightly went after the real Iizuka, the single ball that Leon can control perfectly went after the clone)

Leon directed the two small balls, though with difficulty since they were not able to be controlled very well since they are fast, at Iizuka (the real Iizuka), but if Iizuka made a quick move, they would fly past doing no harm. The one big ball went after the other Iizuka (the clone), and this one, Leon controlled perfectly without any difficulty. One or the other, they will get hit, and Leon will realize who the real Iizuka is, and who isn't...

"Like shooting two bugs with one stone..."

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a small gout of flame towards the opponent.
Special: Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.
Limit: Fire Release

Insei
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Launches off several "stars", made out of lightning.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: This jutsu, especially when creating "Stardust", will do but little harm when hit by only one; it needs multiple hits for it to form any kind of threat at all. Can only be learned ten times
Description: After performing the required handseals, one must point their hand forwards, or whatever direction they want to aim their "Meteor shower" at, and release the desired particles. One can chose to release three types of bright blue-white particles; Stardust, Comets, and Stars. The Stardust is a small round ball of electricity, not bigger than ten centimeters, with a three feet trail of electric balls behind it. It can make rounded curves of 60°, directed by the user, and travels at the same speed as a shuriken or kunai being thrown. A shock of this would only give the opponent a swift and weak current through his body. The Comets are three foot spheres, rather than the small chips, and travel at a slower speed, around that of a ball being thrown, but can be moved without limitations regarding maximum angles. A hit of this will let the opponent's entire body stop moving for two seconds. The Stars are actually smaller than the Comets, being a pointy ball-like light around one feet in diameter, but much more concentrated and travel at twice the speed of a thrown Kunai with a five foot trail of sparkles following it. This speed has limited it's maneuverability, though, as it now can only travel in one straight path. If hit by this, the opponent will have a somewhat powerful surge of electricity going through his body -- giving burn marks and painful spots all over it. When this jutsu is learned once, one gets five "star-slots" per shot. Stardust takes up one slot, Comets take up three, and Stars take up five. Per time an extra training is done, one gets another five star-slots.
Limit: Must have the lightning release.

Lightning...

[/size]

Suddenly, the clone would burst. The bugs would fly at extreme speeds (For bugs) in weird patterns, making sure they were each spaced apart enough where if one was hit the others wouldn't be. Several of the bugs were again hit by the lightning ball, but there were still thousands more of the tiny destruction bugs. And now the real Iizuka had to dodge...

The two lightning stars raced towards him, and Iizuka barely had time to react. However, focusing chakra into his feet, he propelled himself forward. He would suddenly turn as the balls flew wherever Leon willed them. He now was speeding towards Leon as the chakra levels within his legs dropped, returning him to normal speeds. Iizuka was growing tired of long distances.

[Leonov]

(OOC: The small lightning balls couldn't have turned more than 60 degrees, so they wouldn't be following you if you did a u-turn and you are running toward me. Oh well, I'll just Rp what I have now...)

Leon smiled when he saw Iizuka try to run toward Leon, the lightning balls following him. Iizuka sped up using chakra so he won't get hit, but really, that wasn't what Leon was planning. He knew that sooner or later, the bugs will catch Leon unawares, but Leon knew how to deal with them. Pure fire, and they would be eradicated. Leon jumped down from the rock, and as soon as he did, Leon saw that Iizuka was getting very tired. The boy must not love running long distances very much.

Leon smiled, and decided to try and trip Iizuka. Leon did the hand signs, and as soon as he did, he concentrated his chakra into his hands, and he balled them up into fists, and he slammed them on the ground.

The result was immediate. The ground started shaking fiercely, and it seemed like an earthquake hit the area. Leon was perfectly balanced since he was the one who did the jutsu, but Iizuka, since he was getting tired, might trip, even fall over, and this match would be over. Be it wasn't that simple. Iizuka was a bug-specialist, he must have a few secrets up his sleeve.

Leon prayed not, and as soon as the earthquake started, Leon took out one senbon and two shurikens. He threw the shurikens each at Iizukas' hands, each shuriken aimed at each hand. The senbon was aimed for a pressure point at Iizuka's chest, which if it will hit, Iizuka may lose consciousness, or he may have a few problems when he fights. When Iizuka will fall over, or if the lightning balls go past him, Leon will just move them so that they will fly past Leon barely hitting him and into the rock behind him. That is, if they don't hit Iizuka first. Leon watched on how he would react...

Doton: Rikujou Douyou no Jutsu (Earth: Ground Shaking Technique)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user slams their hands against the ground as the user creates a miniature like earthquake in order to try and unbalance the enemy or oponents all around for a more of a deadly like attack.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user's hands must stay upon the ground at all time. When the user is capable of reaching "A" Class the knowledge of placing their hands onto the very ground becomes obsolete, and the user is capable of performing the technique without having their hands along the ground.
Description: As the user slams their hands against the ground the user is capable of creating a miniature like earthquake along the ground. The ground rumbles lightly as the very earth moves in all directions in a fifteen meter radius. Every time the user gains ranking in difficulty class the distance of the technique increases by ten meters.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, Must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) "D"

(( Oops? xD Sorry, I didn't know. For future reference, would you mind making an OOC statement about your control? If it's too much trouble don't bother. ))

[glow=red,2,300]Warning: Bad Post Alert[/glow]

More NinJutsu.

[/center]

So far, all NinJutsu his opponent had used was long distance and projectiles. So, when Leon had begun to form hand signs, Iizuka thought that it would be another Raiton or Katon technique. He again put chakra into his legs and leaped into the air, and over the Leaf genin. Now on the opposite side, his bugs began to retreat back to his body. However, Iizuka's "dodge" was no help at all.

Upon landing on the earth, Leon would smack into it with his hand. Suddenly, the earth began to tremble and Iizuka lost his balance. He landed hard upon a nearby rock with his left arm, definitely at least bruising his arm. Now in slight pain, he strugged to get up once more. The farthest he could get without falling again was sitting there, and even that was hard. His arm still coursed with pain and he glared at his opponent. Iizuka would form a few hand seals, but hold off on the last one. He was a sitting duck... For now.

[Leonov]

Leon smiled when he saw Iizuka fall to the ground, and quickly, Leon turned around and jumped back away from him. Leon grinned at Iizuka, and saw that, even though he was starting to do a jutsu, Leon acted.

Leon quickly did the hand signs, concentrated his chakra inside his hands, and the magic begun. His hands started getting brighter and brighter, and soon, a fireball appeared in both hands, each about one foot in diameter.. Leon then brought them up, and with a quick thrust, they were sent flying toward Iizuka, one aiming for his body, the other for his legs.

As soon as they were fired, Leon did some more hand signs, and this time he concentrated his chakra underground, and he found a few rocks that would come in handy. He concentrated his chakra on three rocks, and with a burst of the chakra, they were sent rocketing toward Iizuka's hands as they were doing the handsigns. Leon wanted Iizuka to stop the jutsu, or else something unexpected might happen.

As soon as the three pebbles were sent rocketing toward Iizuka's hands, Leon then took out three senbons, and threw them behind the pebbles, one senbon aiming for Iizuka's right thigh, one for his triceps on his left arm, the last one for his right shoulder. They were all aimed for a pressure point, and it would be pure luck if they miss or if he gets away.

Leon smiled at his barrage. Two fireballs, three rocks, and three senbons. If Iizuka gets away from this, then either he is one lucky man, or he is much stronger than Leon realized...

Fire Style: Fire Bolt Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a very small ball of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, toward a target.
Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand
Drawback: When the seals are over, the user extends their hands, shooting the ball of fire from their fingertips, which after repeated use (3 or more times), causes singeing which can slow down the speed of which a user can perform handseals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed toward a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly toward the opponent.
Limit: Fire Release

Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A simple technique used as a distraction in which the user uses a few hand seals concentrating along the chakra towards the ground. Doing so the user takes the chakra and the rocks as they use the simple knowledge of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) to push forth sending multiple small grape sized like pebbles towards the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending of the rank the user knows of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) depends on how much pebbles the user is capable of pushing forth.
Description: Small like stones is created along the ground in pebble like form as they are pushed up along the ground and sent flying towards the very enemy or enemies depending on the type of distance the enemy or where the enemy is standing. This type of attack is somewhat of a basic like attack and is to be considered more of an annoyance when first learned by the basic form of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique). When the user gains rank as well as Difficulty class of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) the technique of Doton: Tamaishi Danmaku (Earth Element: Pebble Barrage) becomes even more grand and more dangerous.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)

[zuka]

A barrage of projectiles? Just what Iizuka had expected...

He had done only a few hand signs for a reason. He had begun a jutsu because he expected to do the last hand sign when something came near him. As the fire balls, stones, and senbon were launched from Leon's figure, he acted quickly. He performed the last hand seal, smiling devilishly at Leon. Time to destroy his sense of victory.

Muchikame no Jutsu. Ultimate defense.

[/size]

Bugs exploded from Iizuka's person and begun to circle around him. Within a second, the swirling bugs would become a massive dome-like vortex, protecting Iizuka from harm. The fire balls hit the dome and merely were pushed aside as if they were nothing. The rocks ricocheted off in different directions, and the senbon did the same. The ultimate defense of the Aburame clan had been unleashed.

The bugs suddenly stopped spinning and went high into the air. Iizuka needed to quickly end the battle, for now his chakra would be slightly depleted. He activated a few more hand signs and the next tactic was unleashed. Bugs rain down in a torrential downpour, scattering across the battlefield. It was almost inevitable that the bugs hit and cover Leon, but Iizuka didn't know what tricks were up his sleeve.

Muchikame no Jutsu (Bug Jar Technique)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user uses the Kikaichu (Destruction Bugs) living in his body to surround him and fly at a high speed, forming a protective vortex. The vortex shell is strong enough to destroy incoming attacks. However, the technique can be disrupted from sufficient explosive force.
Special: Dog, Monkey, Horse, Rabbit, Rat
Drawback: B rank techniques contain enough force to nullify the jutsu.
Description: The kikaichu bugs form a solid dome around you, spinning rapidly and containing the ability to attack small beings moving towards it. The dome spins around rapidly, giving it more deflection power against projectiles and jutsu. However, it is not impenetrable by far and a B rank technique contains enough force to destroy the section of the dome that it hit.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu, Muchikabe no Jutsu

Mushi Ame no Jutsu (Bug Rain Technique)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a cloud of kikai far above the battle ground that will be left alone. When the user wills it, it will begin to slowly drop the kikai contained within the cloud, causing it to "rain" the bugs, whom, if they fall near or onto the opponent, will begin to attack.
Special: None.
Drawback: None.
Description: ---
Limit: Must know Kikaichu no Jutsu (Destruction Bug Host Technique).

[Leonov]

Leon growled at how he should have been more smart on using his jutsus, and decided to call for help. He saw the bugs block all of his ranged jutsus, and they soon all flew up, and started raining. Leon thought that this was a joke, but as soon as he saw one come close, it latched onto Leon's leg and he felt a bit of chakra drain from his leg. Leon quickly killed it by pinching it with his fingers, but that won't do any good if more of them come.

Leon jumped back, and as loud as he could, he whistled. The whistle spread through the area, and as soon as he did, a chirp came back. Leon smiled as he saw his pet raven, Serena, fly out of a tree, and as soon as she saw the bugs, she swooped toward them.

Although it may seem hopeless for a bird to try to take on thousands of bugs, it wasn't. She flew, and as she did, she seemed to take a deep breath, and a few seconds later, Leon plugged up his ears, and a shriek, so loud it could make one deaf(actually, if you don't plug up your ears, your character will be in great pain and be deaf for one of your posts). Leon smiled as the shriek reached the bugs, and Leon knew that bugs can hear just as well as humans, only they can't plug up their ears, so this would ruin the jutsu.

Leon then turned toward Iizuka, checking to see if he was able to plug his ears in time, though Leon doubted this very highly...

Deafening Screech
Rank: "D"
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: The animal companion howls, screeches, cries at such a high pitch frequency that it cause one great pain and causes deafness for one round.
Special: ---
Drawback: Has very limited range. Can effect allies.
Description: The animal screams at such a high frequency that any human within 10 meters fell feel like they were punched in the ear and will not be able to hear for one round.
Limit: Any type of animal that makes sound.

[zuka]

Whistling...

Leon would leap back as the bugs fell in a downpour. Iizuka thought he had him, that the battle was nearly over. He had almost forgotten it was only a spar. But as the bird flew into the battlefield, it would ignore the bugs falling around it. Instead, it would seemingly take a breath, and that's when the technique was unleashed. The screech rang through Iizuka's mind as it deafened him. He fell over in pain, but quickly regained his posture.

He was not about to let some bird end him.

He could hear nothing. Nothing at all. This would hinder his tracking abilities greatly. However, ina large field like this, that shouldn't be a problem. The problem now was that the kikaichu spread across the field had fallen, hidden beneath the grass. They struggled in pain, trying to reach their master. The few kikaichu inside Iizuka's body were safe from the technique, and began to reproduce. However, for a full-scale colony, it would take at least eight hours. How much more could Iizuka take?

To protect himself from the bird's techniques, Iizuka caused kikaichu to well up in his ears. Their shells faced the outside world, shielding the bugs as well from anymore sound based techniques. The pain still lignered in his body, but he tried his best to keep his posture. He would have to dodge for now.

[Leonov]

Leon grinned at how the plan was going. He knew that this was a spar, but what's a spar without a few wounds by the end of it. Leon loved to fight, loved the thrill, the feeling, the blood-lust you get from it. It was the reason he fights, the reason, he thinks...the reason he lives. The battle was going well. Iizuka was blind, and in pain, though it will probably go away soon, so Leon had to use what he had, and that was the element of surprise.

Leon took out one kunai, and he threw it into the air. His pet raven, Serena, swooped down, caught it in her talons, and landed on Leon's head. With a nod of his head, Leon separated with Serena, she flew up high, Leon ran forward, and they started the onslaught. Leon threw his remaining weapons, eight senbons, five shuriken, and his last kunai at Iizuka. As soon as he unleashed them, Serena swooped down, and with the kunai in hand, started slashing at Iizuka, swooping down making an attack and then flying back up, but making a quick turn and making another slice.

Leon then ran up to Iizuka himself and started slashing at him, making sure to hit somewhere near his torso or arms, not wanting to make any permanent damage. Leon was sure that this battle will be over soon...very soon...

[zuka]

OOC: If you threw all the projectiles, what am I being slashed with? A kunai?

The pain was fading as Iizuka began to hear the crawling of bugs within his ear. They returned to their normal places, but not before Leon started his onslaught. The projectiles were sent flying at Iizuka as his raven picked up a kunai. Quickly, Iizuka's bugs leaped from his arm as hand seals were made. Small buckler-type shields were made as the projectiles came closer. Reflecting them with shields on each arm, he smiled.

Then the bird came.

Kunai in its talons, it began to slash at Iizuka. He did his best to reflect it with one of the shields, while keeping his ebst attention on Leon. Leon began to run forward with another kunai, prepared to slash. In a panic, Iizuka ran forward as well. He ran past the raven holding a kunai, then performed anotehr few hand seals. The buckler shields of bugs retreated within his body as Leon reached him. The kunai came within millimeters of Iizuka when the last hand seal was formed.

And he was gone.

What was once Iizuka was now a mass of bugs. The bugs that had crawled forth from his legs in the very beginning of the match had replaced him. Powered by Iizuka's previous forward momentum, the kikaichu would almost inevitably cover not only the weapon Leon held, but Leon himself. In the meantime, the other bugs that had fallen due to the screech crawled through the clearing to a nearby tree. It was here that Iizuka lay, trying to regain as much chakra as possible. How much longer would this be?

(When is this battle ever gonna end!?!? XD)

Leon fell for the most simplest of attacks. A substitution jutsu, but the special thing was, and also the dangerous, is that it was a bug substitution. Leon hated them. The bugs had the momentum of running, so when Iizuka disappeared, they soon latched onto Leon. Leon gasped, but he got an idea. There must have been a thousand bugs inside that. Leon let them all attach to Leon's cloak, before acting.

As soon as enough bugs latched onto Leon's cloak, he grabbed it, and with a rough jerk, took it off. The cloak went flying, and as soon as it was off, with the thousands of bugs with it, Leon did the handsigns, concentrated his chakra in his throat and his hand, connected his thumb with his index finger, making a circle, and put it up to his mouth. Without the cloak even touching the ground, Leon blew as hard as he could, and a stream of fire enveloped the cloak.

The thousands of bugs were caught in the burning, and soon, they were all on fire, burning, and the cloak fell to the ground. The cloak, however, was perfect since Leon made it to be fire-proof, so it didn't sustain any damage. The bugs, however, did. Leon looked to the ground, and saw the cringing bugs that were victims of the screaming bird, who was flying in circles, and then landed on Leon's head.

The burned chars of the bugs on his cloak were easily swept away by the slightest breeze, and Leon picked up his cloak and put it back on. He then approached where Iizuka was before he substituted, and picked up all of the weapons he threw in the spar. He gathered them up, and finding any more weapons, also picking them up. As he did, he just shouted into empty space:

"Come out, come out, wherever you are..."

Leon was aiming to win this, and seeing that Iizuka was weak now, Leon had to exploit these weaknesses...

Fire Style: Inferno Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a small gout of flame towards the opponent.
Special: Ox, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger
Drawback: Requires the user to exhale and keep their dominant hand cupped over their mouths. Once the user is out of breath of moves their hand, the technique falls.
Description: The user performs the handseals, energizing their hand and their esophagus with chakra. The user then cups their hand over their lips and exhales. The oxygen being expelled from the lungs combusts upon reaching the chakra from the hand, and the user blows it out a maximum of ten feet away. This is different from the Goukakyou no Jutsu in the fact that this comes out as a stream and not a fireball, and also different from the fact that once the user stops breathing out or moves their hand, the technique ends.
Limit: Fire Release

Bloody hell.

[/center]

The bugs had latched to the cloak that Leon had defended himself with. Thinking that they would crawl onto Leon, Iizuka smiled. This however, was not the case. Leon threw the cloack into the air, then let forth a stream of fire from his person. The cloack was enveloped in flames, incinerating the tiny bugs. Now Iizuka was pissed.

The bugs that had made the Bug Jar plus the bugs that he had let forth into the sky had returned to him. This gave him plenty of resources for his attacks, but he was still running low on chakra. Time for a distraction. Two senbon with one exploding tag on each would be sent soaring silently through the air towards the opposite end of the arena. Hopefully, they had gone by unnoticed. Upon hitting the ground, Iizuka activated them, causing a massive explosion. A minor decoy meant to act as a simple mistake on Iizuka's part.

Because the explosion would almost undoubtedly gain Leon's attention, Iizuka would run forward and slam his hands into the ground. The field of battle would change slightly as the battlefield turned to mud beneath Iizuka and Leon. Iizuka leaped into the mud and stood there, eyes barely above the surface, awaiting Leon's next move.

Deido Nohara no Jutsu (Mud Field)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes the area(10m x 10m) around the user, given that it is some sort of sand, dust, dirt, or weak stone, to become mud.
Special: Rat, Dog, Boar
Drawback: It doesn’t work in certain environments, such as tile and metallic floors.
Description: After the hand signs are performed, the user slams his/her hands into the ground. If the environment allows it, the area around the user will become a thick and heavy mud. No chakra is required to maintain the state of the area.
Limit: Earth Release

Deido Sakana no Jutsu (Mud Fish)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to swim rapidly through the mud as though it was water.
Special: Rat, Boar
Drawback: This jutsu is ineffective in other forms of soil.
Description: The user manipulates his/her chakra in order to swim rapidly through mud. When submerged, they can move somewhat faster than they could in water, given that they are decent swimmers in the first place.
Limit: Earth Release

OOC: xD I'unno. I'm having fun though. And, by the way, that was the first time I've EVER used projectiles that weren't made of bugs. Just thought I'd let you know xD.

[Leonov]

(OOC: Oh, wow, then we're taking this battle to a whole other level! XD)

Leon gathered up all of his weapons he found, and as he looked around, his pet raven landed on his head, and Leon looked around to look for any signs of Iizuka. Leon turned around, and the glint of a senbon caught his eyes. He looked at it, and saw two senbons racing past him with each an exploding tag on them. This showed three signs.

One, Iizuka must be low on chakra since he can't use his bugs to use the for senbons. Two, he is trying to get Leon's attention away, since Iizuka was hiding. And three, Iizuka was desperate, he was trying to do something. Leon ignored the senbon, and kept looking around, but saw no one there, except for one small thing.

The ground, it turned into mud. Leon saw the ground near him turn to mud, and suddenly realized that Iizuka might be able to use the Mud Fish jutsu in it, so Leon was at a disadvantage. Leon looked around at the ground, frantic, when he saw him. It was quite obvious. If you see someone's eyes and their hair popping out of the ground, then it would be hard not to notice. Leon then pretended he never saw Iizuka, and turned his back toward Iizuka.

Leon quickly concentrated chakra into his right hand, which was starting to slightly peel from the fire jutsus, but Leon didn't care, and he did the hand signs, and a small fireball appeared in his hands. He kept it there ignoring the burning sensation, and pretended to keep looking around.

As soon as Iizuka gets close enough, Leon will unleash the jutsu, and hopefully get Iizuka weak enough to go for the finishing blow...

Fire Style: Fire Bolt Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a very small ball of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, toward a target.
Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand
Drawback: When the seals are over, the user extends their hands, shooting the ball of fire from their fingertips, which after repeated use (3 or more times), causes singeing which can slow down the speed of which a user can perform handseals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed toward a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly toward the opponent.
Limit: Fire Release

(( Rofl. My goal was not to be hiding xD. I was waiting there. Also, the Mud Field should have reached you since I ran forward and did it. Another thing, you can't tell if the senbon were real or not based on how they look. Then again, maybe I didn't want to kill them with a tag. Meh. And yes, another level. However I don't feel as if it is epic xD ))

Waiting.

Another fire technique? How many could this guy take? Even Iizuka, one who possessed no katon jutsu, knew that using them too many times was harmful. Eyeing his hand, he saw that the skin there had begun to singe, peeling away. Even one such as Leon could not sustain that bolt for long, so Iizuka merely sat there. But it would not be in vain, for he was constantly assessing the situation and making new strategies.

There were many disadvantages at this point. He was beginning to run low on chakra, and now his opponent held yet another fire technique. His bugs were safely within his body, but they too ate his chakra. Luckily, his chakra had the unique ability to regenerate quicker than it could be eaten, so slowly he was strengthening himself. As his chakra replenished its stores, Iizuka dove under the surface of the mud. Too low to cause a disturbance in the surface above him, he swam swiftly towards his opponent.

Once reaching the edge of the field, hopefully unnoticed, he would leap into the air. Before even breaking the surface, he would do more hand seals and bugs would swarm over his body in a thick shell. Jumoing from the mud field, he would strike with his palm towards Leon's face. If he struck him, he would begin to sap his chakra directly from his face. He would sap as much as he could as fast as possible to replenish his own stores. This battle had been going on far too long.

Chakura Kyuin Jutsu (Chakra Absorption Technique)
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of draining a small piece of the opponent's chakra by pushing their arm off, making sure that they are close to the opponent.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user must have some sort of ground, or must be within close range of the opponent. What this means is that they must be at least couple of feet from the opponent in a maximum range, or they must have hold of something that is pure chakra such as chakra strings.
Description: The user focuses their own chakra within their body and pushes it towards their very hands. As the user does so they create a somewhat "vacuum" like effect within their own chakra along the palm of their hands. What this occurs is when the user grows close to the opponent and does a punching like motion the opponent will feel a small amount of chakra escape from their very own body and be used towards the user's own special like force. This can be used to further the strength of the user with their own chakra supply.
Limit: Anyone is capable of learning this technique

Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu

Description: The user performs the handseals, coating his or her entire body in a thick layer of kikaichu in an attempt to reduce incoming damage. Does not work against higher level jutsu, however, which will puncture right through it.
Limit: Kikaichu no Jutsu, Mushitate no Jutsu

Deido Sakana no Jutsu (Mud Fish)

Description: The user manipulates his/her chakra in order to swim rapidly through mud. When submerged, they can move somewhat faster than they could in water, given that they are decent swimmers in the first place.
