/Truth And Lies/...[P]

[Masakuni]

“Working with Amegakure?” He said, softly, but loud enough to hear, if she chose to follow him. He frowned, blue eyes still narrowed before he turned to look at her again. “Or were you just passing through?” He crossed his arms. He wanted to trust her, yet he was a Shinobi. Such a thing wasn’t a common occurrence. It was hard to trust anyone, let alone a foreign ninja. And now, with the Amekage, the man who had likely ordered his ninja to attempt to invade Kusagakure… He simply had to know the truth. He grinned, somewhat sadistically, to himself. Times were changing…

[¤ Lady Raиu ¤]

How disappointing, it seemed as though Masa-kun was going through that time of the month, again. She had let out a rather large sigh before continuing, "Yes, Masa-kun. I ordered the hit on you, how lovely it was for you to appear here before us. You want the truth? How about you start telling me the truth. I know that your in the bingo book, you dirty -- filthy missing-ninja. I'm tired of your shit. You better leave now, before I decide to turn you in." Her words were dry, but remained in her normal, soft-spoken tone. She wasn't in the mood for drama, especially from him..

[Masakuni]

“Oh?” Oh, she was a rough one. He grinned to himself sadistically. Perhaps, in the past, that might have upset him, to be spoken to in such a manner. But the subtle shifts in his personality of late had rendered him a much more twisted person. He smirked, eyes narrowing down at here. “Oh, let out some more of that hate, that betrayal…” He rapped his headband lightly. “Can’t you tell? I’m no nuke-nin. A tried and true Chuunin of Kusagakure now.” Her final words made him grin even more. It hurt on the inside, but at the same time, all the anger he kept inside him was welling up in delicious eruptions.

“Come and turn me in then, Brooke.” He chuckled to himself, but it never reached his eyes. They were harder than ice. His stance shifted slightly, dropping his center of gravity as his chakra began to flow. Oh, she could try all right. If she wanted to take betrayal to the full extent, she could…

[¤ Lady Raиu ¤]

"Masa..what happened to us? When did it get like this?" She frowned, she couldn't believe what was happening. How did such a short time away from each other, turn them into basically enemies? He fought so hard to save her life, she thought they had a special moment -- and now it is like, none of that even mattered. She opened her arms to give him a hug, and she walked towards him, teary eyes and all.

[Masakuni]

“Come on…” He let out a sigh, pulling her into the hug. He kissed her lightly, a wistful smile on his face. “We’ll figure it out…” He hugged her tight for another second, closing his eyes. Then he let her go, looking over her with a smile. “Hey, Brooke… How about a spar? Just like old times?” He chuckled lightly. “Maybe with not the same result, though.” He smiled across at her, awaiting her response. It couldn’t hurt, right?

[¤ Lady Raиu ¤]

Hugging Masa-kun like old times made Brooke feel safe, right back at home. She didn't want the feeling to end, her being in his arms. Why couldn't it be just them two, with no one else to interfere with their life? He kissed her, and suddenly everything felt okay, it seemed as though they were about to focus on more important things. That is, until he challenged her to a spar..? "A, spar..? It seems like we're always fighting Masa..I just want to get away, with just us two, for once." She sighed and looked at his eyes..he fooled her again.

[Masakuni]

“Fighting is one of the only things I know how to do.” He admitted, sitting down. “It’s the same old story in every village, shinobi must have no hearts, shinobi are supposed to be tools of war, blah blah blah.” He sighed, frowning. “I was raised on that stuff, and it went straight into my head.” He looked up at her. “I suck at this whole thing. Emotions? Commitments to love? I don’t know how to feel properly about it all.” He glanced at her. “Let’s go somewhere then.”

[¤ Lady Raиu ¤]

Anger boiled up in the girl quickly the more that Masa-kun began to speak. He didn't care about her, he didn't care about anyone. All he cared about was his shinobi life, and it pissed her off. How could he even say that? It wasn't like he was an honest to good ass shinobi who never committed a crime, hello, he still betrayed his home village, he still toyed with her emotions, what the hell was she to him? Just another ninja? Balling her fist quickly, she swung at his face, hoping that she would punch the shit out of him and wake his senses up!

[Masakuni]

“Hmm…” He grabbed her fist calmly. “And here I thought it was standard for friends and couples to share their feelings.” He stood, still holding the fist in his grip. “If you want to spar, then just say so!” His eyes sparked with fevered energy at her as he grinned. His free hand diving into his pouch as he pulled out three senbon, held between his knuckles in a tight grip. As he let go of her hands, at the same time his other hand raked up, steel senbon claws dragging a slashing path upward. Wary of her eyes from last time, he would focus mostly on her mouth, to keep from looking into her eyes. He didn’t hold back when sparred, as shown previously…

Senbon Aikuchi Jutsu (Literally Senbon Dagger Technique)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: From close range using the gloves of the Senbon Taitoku the user can effectively slash with the senbon as if they were blades. Doing close range damage, while not very damaging it is still useful for when a Senbon Taitoku is close to a foe and can not throw.
Special: None
Drawback: Must have the Senbon Taitoku Tebukuro
Description: Using the gloves of their Style they can slash with three senbon in each hand and cause minor damages by hitting accurately with the tips of the Senbon. This is good for when the foe has gotten too close to throw and thinks they have a close range advantage.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku, Must know the Senbon Taitoku Stance, Must have the Senbon Taitoku Tebukuro on.

There was always something keeping the two of them apart, and she didn't understand what. She didn't honestly expect for him to be hit in the face, but for him to just hold her fist like that was irritating, taking in a lot of air as he reached for his own weapons, she shot out a rather large like arrow which was aimed directly for his neck/upper chest area. She was hoping to not only defend from his daggers or senbon, but also to cause him some pain as he caused her.

SPOILER: Click to show

Kaze Ya no Jutsu (Wind Arrow Technique)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User is capable of breathing inwards and exerting outwards a large like arrow to pierce into the opponent's body.
Special: User takes in a deep breathe filling their lungs with air.
Drawback: Only one may be created at a time.
Description: The user molds chakra and breathes in. He or she then blows out and an arrow made of wind is shot from the user’s mouth. This arrow may be blocked as it is just a large consumption of wind, however it can not be deflected away. This means that the object must be large in size enough to defend from one against the wind. The size of the arrow is the size of the opponent's mouth with the length of three feet as it can travel up to the distance of twenty meters. This technique is used for short range to steer an opponent away from the user.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[Masakuni]

He grinned as his attack came at, yet she retaliated by a deeep inward breath. He frowned, eyes widening. That seemed like a Fuuton technique! He didn’t have the range to dodge it right now, so he shifted slightly to the side, his attack getting deflected by the blast of air and taking a piercing shot into his right shoulder. He groaned as it bit dip into him. He’d managed to get it to avoid anything major, but it hurt like hell, and it was going to be a severe threat if he didn’t get it treated soon. So she wasn’t playing around. He growled low in his throat, flashing through the hand seals as his senbon were blown back. Given that their shadows were touching, the Kagemane would have none or little distance to cross before striking hers.

If the link was successful, he would jump back quickly forming further hand seals. Brooke did not know of his Nara origins, nor would there be much reaction time before the hand seals were completed, so he was almost completely sure it would work. His newest handseals would be to a jutsu she surely couldn’t know, so that didn’t worry him. Water and ice would condense from the atmosphere into a full thousand needles, all of directed at her body. If the link was not, he would simply continue manipulating his shadow in an attempt to capture her…

Kagemane no Jutsu, 影真似の術 (Shadow Imitation Technique)(20 meters)
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. Its total surface area limits the degree to which the user’s shadow can be stretched.
Special: "Handseals"
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 distance 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 the 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

Sensatsu Suishō, 千殺水翔, (Thousand Flying Water Needles of Death)
Rank: A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates one thousand needles made of ice to aim at a target.
Special: Handseals, end with Tiger
Drawback: The user cannot control the needles outside of their Ice Creation radius. Likewise, they cannot form the needles outside of their Ice Creation radius either. Lastly, the water must be within the air in order for it to be controlled.
Description: The final form of the Water Needles technique, this version creates up to 1000 Ice Needles suspended in the air. As with the precursor technique, the needles are formed from water within the air and remain suspended as long as the user holds the Tiger Hand Seal. Likewise the needles can be aimed at the targets whilst being suspended before firing in the direction they were last aimed at when the seal is released. The strength of the Ice is determined by Kuri Buki and the range to which the needles can be formed is determined by the radius they have with Ice Creation.
Limit: Kaishin Bloodlimit. Water Creation. Ice Creation. Flying Water Needles of Death technique.

{I forgot you were Nara xD Ugh -haz headache-}

Unfortunately, Brooke found herself frozen directly where she stood. She never knew that he was a Nara member, and using that technique so suddenly was surely a surprise to her. With her body now being separated from his own as he leaped back, she did the same. Everything was happening so fast, it felt like she wasn't even in the same realm as him. She knew this meant death, and her face was emotionless like a ghost. Thousand of water needles came piercing her body, finishing her off..

{Dead}

[Masakuni]

“Oh shit.” Masakuni said, eyes widening. He had, once again, confused sparring with true battle. He watched, helpless to stop the release of his own technique, as she was speared by thousands of icy needles. “Damn it…” He whispered to himself, closing his eyes. Oh, this was going to fuck his brain up. He stood there for a long while, simply looking at her body. Then, finally, he moved, hefting it over his shoulders. “Man… This is bad…” He whispered, unable to prevent a single tear from leaking out of his eye… Once more in his life, he didn’t know what to do.

=Exit, pending looting approval?=
