Mokuton: Juhi Kikuo No Jutsu (Bark Armor Technique)
Rank: C
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The users covers themselves in bark for protection.
Special: Handseals “Snake” “Ram” “Horse” “Ram”
Drawback: None
Description: The user will perform the handseals and a layer of wood will cover parts of the user’s body. This wood will cover the upper arms, the forearms, the back of the hand, the chest, the thighs, the shins, and will form a helmet on the top of the head. Basically it will be stylized Samurai Armor made of bark. This bark is tough enough to stop medium strength blows and a few sword cuts.
Limit: Mokuton Jutsu

I found myself secluded from the rest of the village, in a quiet park. The mist kept my form hidden in the woods. The soil under my feet was soft, and the sky gray with clouds. It was truly a a dreary scene, but one I found to be soothing nonetheless. I still walked with the three Mizu Bunshins I had made not to long ago before entering the village gates. They each stood in different locations around the woods, though they really couldn't go that far from the host to begin with.

Today's jutsu would revolve around the Mokuton release. I enjoyed techniques that dealt with wood, for they were more powerful than most techniques found in other releases. The seals had been reviewed along the way from the village gate to this park, so I would find a dry spot upon the forest floor to begin the jutsu. Realistically, I sat myself between two trees, for I did not know what to expect when doing this jutsu. My hands quickly began to form the four sets of handseals required.

"Snake, Ram, Horse, Ram"
Holding the ram seal

I felt a surge of chakra exit my body as the trees around me shook. As if I were peeling an orange, the bark upon the trees would begin to unravel around the base of the tree, stretching out towards me. I looked both ways, wondering if this would be successful or not. It didn't go as perfect as I had hoped, because before I knew it, I was smacked across the back of the head. I had to gain control over the bark, but that would take a bit more work than I had assumed. I cut my connection off.

I would need to re-do this, and try it over again. Obviously, through creating the handseals, I was suppose to be capable of controlling the wood to shape wooden armor. My hands quickly began to re-form the handseals for the jutsu. I did them much faster this time, and I remained focus on the technique even after accomplishing them soon afterward. The wood would once again come to life, stretching out towards me as if the tree were attempting to hug me. They moved to my will.

Closing my eyes now, I envisioned the grand armor of a samurai. The sound of wood chipping and rapping around my form could be heard. I felt the weight of it form around me, though it did not constrict me, nor did it harm me in anyway. I slowly worked on forming the armor to perfection, though I didn't really expect to have it completely straight the first time. After a few more moments, the trees grew silent. I opened my eyes, looking through the visor opening cut into the helmet.

"Hmmm..."
Examining self

I looked towards the trees around me to see that they had been stripped of their outer layer of flesh. I stood up from my seat to see how much the armor really weighed against my form. Of course, with the protective attire I already wore, it did place a bit of pressure upon me, but I was good enough to fight. The wood even cocooned the sheathe upon my back, allowing me to grasp the katana's hilt with ease. I grinned slightly and then moved around a bit with my right hand rapped around my blade.

"This it?"

Ugh.

One moment, the air had been relatively clear, the mist no denser than it always was – and then, out of the blue, the brume thickened, until I had to resort to M.P.G goggles to see. I slid them down over my eyes, the sleek goggles fitting comfortably into the niche of my gas-mask. I flicked a switch, and just like that, the world cleared.

I saw heat.

I treaded deeper into the mist using the tree branches as my road – chakra seeped into my nose and ears, fortifying my senses, granting me perception beyond the limitations of man. Sounds and smells unavailable to me before were lain out on a smorgasbord of information – I heard the subtle creak of a squirrel flitting through a dry, rotting, hollow log on the forest floor beneath me; caught wind of odorous emissions from the birds perched higher in the trees.

There were men here too; my eyes and ears and nose confirmed it. Two – no, seven of them, in fact, though one smelled strongly of wood – as if he was made of it, and three of them smelled strongly of water. Clones, perhaps? I recognized neither of the other two scents, but that wasn’t enough to raise an alarm; it did inspire a flare of caution, however, as I became a specter of silence, the sound of my movements muted by skill alone. I dug into my chuunin vest - it was more charcoal than green - and retrieved a small flask of gelatinous liquid. If my suspicious were unfounded, this flask would have no use, but if my paranoia was justified...

I came to a stop ten meters to the north of the assembled party, looking down over them like a hawk looks down over his prey. I was just five meters above ground.

What would life surprise me with today? Only time would tell.

Ikimono Kaori (Animal Scent)
Rank: "C"
Skill: Skill/NinJutsu
Effect: A Shinobi, or a warrior is capable of gaining the capability of that of the animal kind when it comes to the sudden sense of smell. The scent of smell is quite different as the user must be with the animal kind in question for a period amount of time before this is capable of occuring. The user concentrates their chakra along the tips of their nose, along the hair folicles of their nose to where the smell becomes quite accute. The smell becomes strong depending on the animal companion that they have. If they have a Canine, they are capable of smelling a drop of blood within five quarts of water.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have. If the animal companion has a strong sense of smell, then that means that foul odors occur, their sense of smell reacts to a sudden action to where they may become incompacitated.
Description: ---
Limit: This technique must be known multiple times. The user however must have a Helper that is according to the correct scent of smell. What this means is if the user has an animal Helper of the Canine breed, then they are capable of having the sense of smell in similar form towards that type.

Effect: A Shinobi, or a warrior is capable of gaining the capability of that of the animal kind when it comes to the sudden sense of hearing. The sense of hearing is quite different as the user must be with the animal kind in question for a period amount of time before this is capable of occuring. The user must concentrate along their inner ears by using their chakra. By doing so their hearing becomes more, defined, but not close to that of an animal. Just think of it where the user is capable of hearing better. There is no other way to explain this however other then their hearing is more defined, they can not use this to see however.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of going into this depending on what type of animal helper they have. Depending on the animal companion the sense of hearing may become unbareable depending on the type of creature it is. Also hearing that is that of a bat, or any other animal that enables a user the capability of helping them see through hearing does not occur within the user.
Description: ---
Limit: This technique must be known multiple times. The user however must have a Helper that is according to the correct scent of hearing. What this means is if the user has an animal Helper of the Canine breed, then they are capable of having the sense of hearing in similar form towards that type.

God damn.

Although he had seemingly made an attempt at hindering me from viewing his many seals such would not occur, moreso, I'd be awarded with the cognition that the intruder knew of my presence. His previous training, from what I witnessed, dealt with the nature of Mokuton – why the sudden shift to Suiton? Though Kirigakure was known for its various ominous mists, why would it–no how would it– magically appear unless on the whim of another? Whatever, it did not matter. The man's existence would cease soon enough.

Manifesting even more chakra from within the bowels of my chest, I'd begin to shape the form of seals; the surge of energy as a result, replenishing my tenketsu points and further bringing about my most prized of techniques – Hibashiri. With it my extremities would meet, the force of the clap bringing forth the volatile creature in all its glory; two very defined lines of fire erupting from the ground around me, shooting out passed the intruder's previous location and encasing him in a ring of fire. The base of the ring was a solid twenty meters, the space although large, slowly reducing in size as Hibashiri contracted around my now opponent - leaving Hiromasa, to whom remained unknown to me, quite locked out from the duel that was soon to be transpired.

What was the man's next move?

Katon: Hibashiri: (Fire Element: Racing Fire)
Rank: "C" "B"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Fire technique in which the user shoots out two streams of fire along each side of the user towards a group of enemies in which encircles around the enemy creating a wall of fire.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The user first performs the handseals that they need. Then they slam their hands together as the user concentrates along the heat around them. Focusing their chakra, two streams of fire is launched from the user, one along the left, and another along the right. These streams shoot off towards multiple enemies. The user is capable of creating streams of fire within the distance of fifty meters, encircling enemies within twenty-meter radius. The fire is two meters in width as the height reaches up to five meters in the air as it spins violently trapping those within. This type of fire is used as an encasing Jutsu, capable of trapping the opponents inside using intensive heat for the enemy. This type of fire when first learned the user is capable of just encircling the enemies as the speed of the fire entraps the enemies within. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique the user is capable of enclosing the Fire to burn the enemies within a ring of fire as it ends. This process takes one turn to do. This technique is also capable of being used to shoot out a ring of fire towards the opponents if the user wishes.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Following trail[/center]
The opponents attack would compromise himself. So, still some what attached to its tree, a wooden clone would quickly form handseals. Such an attack would be so unexpected, the opponent would undoubtedly fall for it. From below the targets feet, white strips would quickly aim to rap themselves around the opponents legs, cutting off the opponent's mobility, constricting if he attempted to struggle. That was only one of my clones, for the other two prepared themselves for anything.

SPOILER: Click to show

Doton - Shinjuu Zanshu no Jutsu (Double Suicide Decapitation Technique)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu / TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user hides within the ground for a brief moment to surprise attack the opponent from under ground.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The user takes the time to push into the ground by using their Earth Release. The user pushes into the ground quickly so that to be used against the opponent later on. The user at this point cannot necessarily move within the ground at this moment, but the user does know by feel of when an opponent is right above. When an opponent is right under the user reaches up to take the opponent and drag them back down to the ground in one fell swoop without movement or notice.

Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Mokuton: Tsuchi Baindo
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Literally Mokuton: Tsuchi Baindo means Wood: Earth Bind. The reason why it's called such is because of the effects of th technique. As a Ninjutsu the technique utilizes chakra. Here the user forms the handsigns and collects whatever takes part of the landscape/ground and forms strips of cloth out of it. With Mokuton it manipulates grass or wood.
Special: Rat, Boar, Dog, Ox, Tiger
Drawback: One must have Wood Release to perform.
Description: The Grass or Wood forms white strips looking much like bandages that rise from the ground and wrap tightly around the opponent. The strips are thick enough that they cannot be cut through with a kunai, and are wrapped tight enough to leave the enemy immobile.
Limit: Wood Release

Interesting.

One was a connoisseur of Katon – I recognized his technique from past experiences, and as the ring of fire closed inward on its focus, I climbed a step higher into the tree, drawing my legs up to keep away from the flickering flame. I sat my flask next to me on the branch, surveying the situation and planning my reaction accordingly, pushing my M.P.G’s away from my eyes as the heat from the flames hindered my vision.

As the mist began to fade I spewed a sphere of water from my gullet at the base of the flames from my hiding place within the tree. To be safe, I repeated the action, aiming at the base of the flames rather than the peak, should any fire remain. My hands danced once more and a score of clones – ten – arose from the moistened earth, each intrinsically linked to me. I’d relegated each half of the coalition to surround both the creator of the flames and the man who’d seemingly disappeared – as if I would fall for such rudimentary tactics.

“State your name and purpose.” They intoned in unison, voices hollow. Of course, only one could answer me… for now, at least. I climbed higher into the tree still, putting me ten meters above the earth. I didn’t forget my flask.

Below, each bunshin drew replicas of Suijin, the azure tinted ninjaken glistening sinisterly. “Speak quickly,” they droned, “or forever hold you peace…”

I prepared death.

For the both of them, just to be fair. Wait... what the fuck was that coming out of the ground?

Glaring at the newcomer
"...and apparently shinobi of this village are too rash for their own good."[/center]
I held my tongue for no one when my rights were being violated. I would kill...anyone, who dared to take away my freedom. I wasn't evil, nor did I find pleasure in killing, but the loss of my freedom would be worse than death. My clone, though unbeknownst to me, took notice to the target clone's appearance and just how they came to be. He looked down at the mud, thinking of the use it could bring if this battle were to continue. It would be wise for them to leave me alone to continue my training. It should be made clear that this young shinobi's life is in his hand. If he had anything to say to me, it had better be an attempt to negotiate.

Silence reigned for several long moments, white hot anger stilling my words. This… stooge, thought that he had right to any privacy in my village?! I decided, then and there, that he would die. Maybe not now… but his days were numbered. The rage passed, waning in the mild breeze. When I replied, my voice was calm – indifferent. The hot anger from mere seconds before had frozen into a glacier.

“You presume that you have some sort of status on these lands. Gaijin – you will tell me who you are and why you are here.” I was cold and void of life, heartless lassitude deadening my voice.

There was no in between. Either he would swallow his pride or I would send him along the ferry ‘cross the Styx. I held no compassion for these men – I would feel no remorse at their demise. Etiquette was all that stilled my murderous hands.

Betwixt my words, shadowed hands closed in a cagey manner, and I shifted, though I seemed to never alter my position, viewpoint changing to survey my target from a southwestern bearing relative to my foe's own location as the intermediary point on a five-spoked wheel, each 'spoke' equidistant - 3 meters - from the next. The 'second' wheel of the bicycle; the one congregated around nothing, considering my enemy's actions, didn't shift at all, instead relegating themselves to no more than sensory devices. Something shadowy was a’foot.

Me.

A wooden clone spoke[/center]
With no hesitation, the wooden clone would slice the boy's neck with all three wooden shuriken. The sharp projectiles would rip through the boy's esophagus, a deadly strike that would only grant him a few moments of life left. It was over for him. Of course, I expected this not to sit well with the boy's fellow shinobi, but the price had been paid. We dared the clones to approach us, for they'd be cut down and no longer of use to the opponent. What would he do now?

I would be branded a criminal now for my actions. Not much I could do. I of course could plead self-defense, but I doubted the success in that. We were once again prepared for anything, and my third wooden clone, who had yet to even take action, would have his hands already clasped together. Digits would coil along each other forming the zodiac once more till the series would be complete. The trees shook in fear of my powerful chakra, the chakra used to bring the clone to life.

It would not be revealed at this very moment, but in a second...it would.

I’ve pm’ed a BM to commemorate the start of the battle. Also, for this battle, we operate as equals, for the most part. My nin, tai, and gen, for now, are all equal to a B-rank ninja due to the drawbacks of a ritual I recently partook in.
____________________________

A head shook and hands moved. “Foolish,” the voice in the tree muttered – a voice so very much like my own. There was a moment of calm after my ‘friend’ died – a half second of stillness, of silence, signifying the coming storm.

It was obvious my foe didn’t realize his precarious position. Three long steps were all that separated himself and the brigade that surrounded him. Five meters, give or take a couple of feet, considering the circumference of the halo of fighters. Three steps… The northern, eastern, and western spokes on the ‘wheel’ exploded between that third and second step, with mere feet between themselves and my foe. The strike occurred as if it was pre-ordained, the link between myself and my clones enabling a perfect assault, with timing and execution second to none.

Amid the explosion, the second 'wheel fanned outward, taking to the trees, spreading around the clearing in indeterminable patterns, using their foreknowledge of my planned assaults to avoid any undo harm. They established a broad perimeter - a pentagon with segment lengths of fifteen meters. Each bunshin watched the back of another, save for one. His eyes roved the ground in case of some unknown stratagem.

The havoc was intensified by my continued efforts – a second later, when the violence took a pause to collect its breath, my own actions took us and all assembled within a twelve meter radius deep into the gloomy pits of Tartarus. If my opponent lived, and I hoped he did, death would find its way to him by my hand, and my hand alone.

Power consumed me – gave life to the murderous impulses that drove my action; loaned strength and speed where there were already copious amounts. I became the epitome of swiftness – first in drawing Benihime from her ebony casing, second in driving her into the earth, intrinsic manipulations tearing it asunder. My skill insured that what was described as a ‘small’ boom was anything but. Rock exploded from the earth, the shockwave threatening to collapse our prison.

And then? Then whatever superficial distance that separated me from my prey was crossed with wondrous haste, Benihime leading the charge. I had twelve blood beads… I wanted seventeen; nine more, for each discipline of Kendo.

I was the southwestern spoke on the wheel, unseen and unheard – I, would be the instrument of his death.

- Used by clone in Tree -

Doton: Deido Bunshin Jisatsu no Jutsu (Earth Release: Mud Clone Suicide Technique)
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Previously made mud clones do the kamikaze method and blow up on contact with an enemy.
Special: Dog, Rat, Boar, Ox, Dragon
Drawback: You lose a clone every time one does this.
Description: Using Deido Bunshin no Jutsu you create a clone or clones and they attempt to capture and explode on the enemy, on your command. The explosion is not big and is meant for a close range explosion. The explosion is about as big as an exploding tag's.
Limit: Must know Earth Release. You must also know Mud Clone Technique.

- Used by me -

Tartarus? Pit
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Brings the user and target to a deep gloomy pit, where it is impossible to use NinJutsu- or GenJutsu- jutsu. Escaping is not possible either unless the user stops channeling chakra in the jutsu. The user of this jutsu channels his chakra around the area, making all the chakra molded (for nin/gen-jutsu's or even walking on walls) being drained and disappear into the air.
Special: Ox; Horse; Ram; Rabbit; Rat
Drawback: As long as the users keep up the effect, he slowly runs out of chakra. (Cannot use nin/gen jutsu in it)
Description: After performing the handseals, the ground suddenly lowers and some kind of force is pushing you and the target(s) down.
Limit: Must know earth release.

Name: Second Gate— Svādhiṣṭhāna [ Heal/Energy ]
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Taijutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The body can only go 20% of it's limits naturally, with all the gates on. With each gate, however, the body can go an extra 10% for each gate broken. The Heal Gate enables the user to push forth to 40%. When a user takes the time to break this gate, they become capable of moving .75 times faster than normal. This means that a user who is capable of performing 4 movements would be capable of performing an amount of 7 movements in total. (4 base movements + 3 movements for the ×.75)
Special: The user must concentrate within their inner body for one brief moment in order to bring forth the gate.
Drawback: Simply put, the Hachimontonkou work on a 100% scale. Unlocking the Heal Gate expends 20% of the aforementioned one hundred each round it remains open. What this means is that if you were to perform under the Heal Gate's influence for two rounds, you would have used 40% out of the allotted one hundred. BUT, the moment a user goes over this 100%, their entire musculature will begin tearing apart, resulting in short stints of temporary paralysis accompanied by shocking pains. Repairing this damage requires medical attention with a success rate of 70%.
Description: The Heal Gate is located in the sacrum and is the second of the eight celestial gates. As any taijutsu specalist knows, battle can be dangerous, and if a shinobi is taking a beating they may choose to unlock the Heal Gate which, in turn, allows them to shrug off a good deal of damage and even make their body function better for a while. The rank of any Taijutsu Attack is increased by One Rank.
Limit: Only accessible to Chakra Gate users. Must have at least 580TP in Taijutsu techniques. Must unlock the Initial Gate.

Kaze Ryuu Hiden: Kaze Ryuutsuisen
Rank: D
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: Since this is a Taijutsu Technique it does not need any type of seals to help mold the chakra needed.
Drawback: ---
Description: An attack where the wielder strikes with a downward stab which is delivered by after a jump. The user concentrates his chakra within the stab by pushing off with enough force that breaks up the ground creating somewhat of a small boom attack.
Depending on how much chakra you put into it, depends on how much distance and damage is done.
D Rank Amount of Chakra - Ten Meter Radius
C Rank Amount of Chakra - Fifteen Meter Radius
B Rank Amount of Chakra - Twenty Five Meter Radius
A Rank Amount of Chakra - Forty Meter Radius
S Rank Amount of Chakra - Sixty Meter Radius
Depending on how well and how strong the user is by Class, the user is capable of performing the technique as a D Rank with higher power if necessary without sacrificing more Chakra then needed.
D Class - Ten Meter Radius
C Class - Fifteen Meter Radius
B Class - Twenty Five Meter Radius
A Class - Forty Meter Radius
S Class - Sixty Meter Radius
Limit: Only a master, or one who is able to use such a technique may be able to teach the one who wishes to learn. Going to need to know Fudo no Kamae.
(I understand that the use of this maneuver may fall into contention. I believe it is usable because it isn't a ninjutsu or a genjutsu, and it's description is outdated and badly worded. If it isn't usable... nix it from my post altogether and move straight to the coup de grace)

Kaze Ryuu Hiden: KuzuKaze Ryuusen
Rank: S
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User attacks all parts of the opponent’s body with one swipe.
Special: Since this is a Taijutsu Technique it does not need any type of seals to help mold the chakra needed.
Drawback: ---
Description: In all forms of Kendo, there are nine vital target points: Right shoulder, left shoulder, right arm, left arm, right leg, left leg, groin, head, and chest. All forms of attack and defense thus focus on these points using chakra creating godlike speed which strikes all nine points at once, making almost any defense impossible.
Limit: Only a master, or one who is able to use such a technique may be able to teach the one who wishes to learn. Must know Chudan no Kamae and Kaze Ryuu Hiden: Kaze Ryuukansen Tsumuji

Settouchi (Blood Theft)
Rank: "D" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to form new Chibi-zu (Blood Beads).
Special: Half-Ram
Drawback: Requires the user to strike an opponent with the blade, drawing blood, or else they must use their own.
Description: After the blade penetrates flesh, the user will perform the Half-Ram seal. Blood from the wound will crawl up the blade rapidly, taking the shape of a tiny triangular bead. This will attach itself to the other blood beads on the right side of the blade. There is a maximum of twelve blood beads possible.
Limit: Must have had Okiro no Higi performed.

[haiku]

ok, cool. the distance is all...a tad bit confusing, but when the BM gets here, I guess he'll analyze it and decide if anything works. the pit technique kinda needs a revamp to begin with.

---

[/i], who had been watching our surroundings only a moment ago, had not taken notice to the clones spreading out and around us. Well, not every clone apart of their formation could be targeted by the following jutsu, but those surrounding the clone upon the eastern location of the scene would be targeted. Wooden kunais would break from the trees with deadly aim quick enough to hit its target before anything could be accomplished.

As for me, I expected something to target me, for it was very obvious I was no clone. As the nearby clones approached me and exploded, a previously prepared Kawarimi would replace me with a mass of mud ten meters ahead of my position; north. The explosions would have no effect on me. As for the clone who had killed the boy, he'd be obliterated by the clones within his vicinity, along with the boy's corpse. The clone that had been four meters behind me would begin a set of seals.

"Hmmm..."
No connection

Something in the air was not right, for chakra could not be fused in its normal matter. The wooden clone looked around, the crackle sound of branches upon his neck snapping to grant him the ability to move his head. It was then he took notice to one opponent that stood out in particular, however, it was too late. With a massive explosion, he along with the earth below him would fall to a huge blast. The second wooden clone found himself upon the eastern part of this pit, soon to be pulled in.

I myself was a few meters away from the massive pit, after my recent Kawarimi. One may question when it was I prepared the technique, and that is simple. I did not place my left hand into my pocket simply for show, or as a means to express my cockiness. I had created the one-handed ram seal. Deido Kawarimi no Jutsu then became the outcome, which also, indirectly, put me at a bit of a distance from the hole. Still, I found myself being drawn in as well, which grew as a problem.

I turned to face it, and fell backwards[dropping my kunai], attempting to use my feet to drag myself to a stop, but the mud made that impossible. I had previously handed my clone two explosive tags, but with chakra being out of the question, that'd be impossible. I chose a different route. I reached into my side utility pouch to retrieve a kunai. Attached to the loop at its hilt, an explosive pouch dangled. It would ignite, simultaneously as I flung it towards the mouth of the pit. It would clip the edge.

At this point, the pouch would explode, the outcome being that the blast would close the pit, along with all within it; or at least a decent amount it. If it was truly as deep as I assumed, it would be quite a deep grave for my opponent. Hopefully, it would also cancel these effects so that I could finish the job by setting off the tags my clone still had in his possession. My third clone would also do his best to fend against the opponent waiting at the bottom. Withdrawing the false katana off of his back.

[The Heron]

Tch. It was a dud.

My jutsu was a waste – I canceled the chakra the moment I realized my foe was not amongst the assembled creatures. My baleful rage was directed upon his clone so very near to me – with a simple flick and a swipe, insurmountable power flooding my veins and fortifying my skills, a ripping torrent of wind cutters tore from the end of my blade. They would gouge through the wood clones back and render him naught but splinters.

I didn’t have a moment to relish the destruction – I became alarm, sirens blaring in my head. Gaia was my escape - she swallowed me just as darkness swallowed the pit. As they were want to do, my remaining Deido bunshin – the one still within the initial tree and the five outliers – carried out my will even when I could not. My foe’s shift forward had positioned him in a rather capricious position. He was very near to the deido bunshin within the tree – the very same bunshin I’d switched with. Like a knife through the sky he fell atop my opponent, descent masked by the explosion. He replicated the sound, his demise captained by the nearest of the outlying bunshin.

I left nothing to chance, however. I came out above the earth twenty meters northwest of where I’d gone under as quickly as if I'd teleported. My eyes found the smoldering remains of my deido bunshin – if my foe persisted, he’d find himself under the assault of an army: Me. I continued my previous plan, thrusting Benihime into the earth, her entrance into the terra firm accented by a tremendous boom that ruptured the ground for a grand radius of thirty meters. Another movement found Benihime slicing through the air in front of me – it was a replication of the wind cutter jutsu. I repeated the movement again and again, peppering the air with waves of invisible knives.

In unison another bunshin captained a partnering assault, falling to the earth to send his chakra into the very foundation upon which he stood. The chakra coalesced beneath my foes feet, if he still stood. Mud would slither speedily up his to his ankles, its purpose to restrict, if only for a moment - the seal sustaining the jutsu was released then, forcing the mud to harden.

That was all the time I needed, for more than mentioned was underfoot. One clone – the northern point of the pentagon – slunk nearer as well, his ministrations birthing a Deido Bunshin just two meters behind my foe, or what remained thereof. If his resistance stood I would Kawarimi once more - I was just within range that allowed such chicanery, and from there…

I’d have my blood beads in ‘one’ deft slice.

-2nd Gate Activated -

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or 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: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on 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 can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

Doton: Iwagakure no Jutsu (Earth Element: Hiding in Stone Technique)
Rank: C

Special: ---
Drawback: Can only be used on stone. Cannot perform handseals or attacks while phasing through stone.
Description: By applying the principles of Underground fish projection, the user is able to quickly sink in and out of stone on a whim, avoiding virtually all damage. By simply focusing doton charka through their body, the user will briefly change the same color as the surrounding rocks before vanishing from sight. As they travel through the ground, no other skills can be performed, but their movement speed is dramatically faster so long as the user stays within stone. This skill is only usable 5 times a day once trained; however, this jutsu can be retrained in order to obtain the ability to add another usage.
Limit: Earth Release. 500 TP in earth release. Underground fish projection.

Then, when the user wishes to stop the mud crawling, they will cease to hold the Ram, causing the mud around the opponent to instantly harden.

this is my attempted exit, my character is conserving chakra, and any more will leave him depleted.

[/s]...wait[/b]"
Looking up to the rising smoke[/center]
Sneaky bastard...I'd dodge roll to my right, landing upon my left hand while withdrawing the crow from my back as if I were pulling my own spinal cord out. With the speed of Sugizou, I'd appear as if I phased right through the mud clone, for I appeared upon its opposite side. The clone would be left cleaved in half. He obviously didn't know when to quit, and frankly, I grew tired of these games. I looked around, doubting this was far from over due to these clones still attempting to do their maker's work.

I re-sheathe my blade with one hand while I reached into my pouch for one more useful tool with the other; withdrawing a Hikari bomb. I'd close my eyes, tossing it over my head and allowing the flash to shine bright as a means of blinding any opponent close enough to see it. It would grant me the time to repeat a technique, for my chakra was running low. After the series was complete, that oh so familiar mist would re-appear, and I would fade along with it. I'd shunshin through the mist east.

[The Heron]

You kinda just… ignored most of my attacks.
_______________________

The resounding clang from his sword striking my bunshin revealed its frightening density – revealed the degree of my mastery over the arts of earth.

And then?

The bunshin exploded, my foe well within the blast radius, as he’d un-artfully positioned himself directly in front of said bunshin in his attempt to destroy it..

The ground was torn asunder, the force of my Kaze Ryuutsuisen ruining the foothold of all present within a thirty meter radius.

My wind cutters – all 144 of them riddled with savage intent – tore through the air, the speed and strength of them further enhanced by the second gate. They didn’t have far to travel – I was just within eight meters of my foe, insuring at the very least some margin of success.

The outlying bunshin operated in sync with my efforts, their ministrations not at all paused. The mud would slither and a new minion would grow. Should my foe miraculously survive and continue onward with his ‘assault’, leaving me temporarily blinded, I’d ensure that he would not escape, calling upon Gaia once more to enlighten the mortal plane with her celestial power.

2nd Gate - 3rd turn

Earth Mastery
Rank: S
Skill: Passive
Effect: Causes earth based techniques to develop a natural hardness, more so than what the standard ability would allow.
Special: ---
Drawback: This does not negate the natural effects of enemy attacks. Example: While a fire jutsu may not instantly destroy something created, it can still burn it.
Description: Earth Ninjutsu, typically, are based around defense. After much time and dedication, the user understands how to enhance these defensive capabilities even further, hardening their techniques to, at times, and ridiculous strengths. At B-rank, the users techniques harden to the point of iron, and are capable of withstanding a C-rank?s worth of damage before the damage begins to affect the technique. At A-rank, the techniques retain the hardness of steel, capable of withstanding a B-ranks worth of damage. At S-rank, the techniques become as hard as titanium, capable of withstanding an A-ranks worth of damage before they are affected as normal.
Limit: Earth Release. Once the user has gained 500 TP in Doton Ninjutsu, this skill is gained automatically. A rank is gained when 750 TP has been obtained, and S rank when 1000 TP has been gained.

Review time. I know y'all love the honor system and are doing an awesome job of preserving it (seriously wish more fights were like this!), but it's time for me to post on a few observations. I'll be brief, and obviously overlooking your battle, but my full analysis will come in a few hours.

[/font]

[eclipse]

OOC: Yes, it was quite understood that my absense could result in my death - to which it has (From what I gather; I skimmed it due to time). So..I'm out.

Within a cloud of movement I'd feel the metalic projectile caress my irovy maw, ceasing my existence in the world as I left with all but a smile - how ironic.

/death.

[fina]

Naga's death has been approved...

Now, it's been a bit more difficult than I expected chronicling this battling, especially with distance, but considering you both carried yourselves this far, there really isn't much to deliberate. Moodz, between some of the previous round's ignored attacks and the fact you charged at that bunshin right before Hiro detonated it, I don't think you'd be in one piece, and this is not even counting the gate boosted attacks he sent after. You both put up some good posts and fought well, but this battle is over. Exit is denied, and although I'd pronounce you dead, I believe Hiromasa would like to preserve you. As such, incapacitated seems to fit; no chakra molding capable.

[/font]

[haiku]

I did ignore his last few attacks, and that is my fault. I accept death over anything else anyways, this is my forfeit. I was not told by Hiro that he wished for me to be spared, so this knowledge is news to me. I only had one issue that I didn't feel the need to bring up until a BM was present[though its irrelevant now since I give up]. I respect [though, am totally against as a technique] this Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace), but like the Sharingan, I see it as an ability that grants the user sight of future intentions, but not the ability of physically avoiding them just because of that ability. Because I had specifically stated that I would activate the two exploding tags in my wooden clone's possession had the technique drawing me in stopped, it would lead me to assume that it would blow Hiro up at this point, before he himself mentions being "alarmed" to the exploding pouch about to explode above him at the mouth of the pit. I understand that he has a gate open, and so I don't argue with his ability to move from the location quickly, but the order of his movements would, in my opinion of course, lead him to explode along with my clones. Of course, its your judgement and your call, but I felt that my last words should be heard before I call it quits[last attempt never hurts]. This battle was kinda thrown out of proportion anyways, it was simply suppose to be between Naga and I, since he wanted me to kill his character off....however, Heero claims this isn't a good death, so this was all for naught, and a waste of all of our time. Meddling ftw lol.
