Blood in the Gutter [Open - Street Fighting!]

[anarchy unbound.]

[Locale
DE from the Start]

People always love to talk shit. Be it to their friends, a guy they just met, or some douche who was "seriously asking for it". They just love to talk shit, and all the damn time. When that shit warms up and the situation starts to melt, you get steaming shit, and steaming people, fuming tempers and volatile reactions. It could come in a barrage of words, or the swing of a punch. They simply didn't know any better.

There were some however who lived for this shit, and made their living from it. By throwing their own shit at another persons shit and purposely riling them up to liquidation, Nate had found these people were much more susceptable to intimidation, gambling and violence in all regards. If you combine those three aspects together however, and then simply smash the hell into the person and teach them whats right is right, then you get the one, and only, golden shit. The shit what keeps on giving, and can be found everywhere.

That's where Nate was. Looking for a fight. Standing at the mouth of a dirty, damp alley from the recent rainfall and litter, he kept his eyes peered for any one who looked either angry, anxious or otherwise just plain stupid. Big guys were even easier to pick at this, something about how Nate could drop his knee to look smaller and less intimidating gave him a bit of an edge when it came to playing off of people. For Nate though, this wasn't just a silly pride match he was looking for, he was looking for goods; valuables and what have you. He didn't have any problems with stealing from fools who couldn't defend themselves and now lay in a pulp, yet his more favored method was actually getting the person to willingly hand over the dosh to him. He'd bet his own skill against theirs.

Choice of targets was getting slimmer however these days, with so many ninjas being goody two shoes and what have you. There just wasn't any thrill in bothering with those people. Resting his head against the side, he anxiously watched for any who looked viable, and ripe.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Gizamaru walked the street, his training inside of the boxing Dojo had been slow lately and he had chosen to walk the streets as a way to simply kill some time. Noticing someone in the same ally he was traversing he shouted.

"Hey mon... do 'chu know where I can find a Hotel?"

His idea that the man he was shouting to was indeed, a villager who knew the layout of the town better than himself, he hoped that he could help his predicament with some advice.

[anarchy unbound.]

/Now Closed to Beltran and Nate/

Eyeing the... odd speaking man who'd approached, he couldn't tell if he was actually talking to Nate or simply to the general public. Either way, he couldn't care and had decided to jump both feet forwards into the fray and cocked his head to the side.

A Hotel? Like there's any around here that a shitbag like you can afford

As he spoke, he continued to lean against the side of the wall, his arms folded and one leg slightly crooked behind the other as he cast his stern eye up and down the person. Couldn't see a headband (yet), so had no clue as to what or who this person was, besides the bow strapped to his back. He was either a hunter, a fighter, or somewhere inbetween. He did however look well built; strong, formidable, and most importantly - wealthy.

Why don't you just go find a gutter to sleep in, shit f'brains

[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

Gizamaru frowned in disgust. "Chu' Sir... 'ave no 'anners. 'erhaps... I should 'eat some into 'chu." He said, his words becoming increasingly annoyed to the point where the frown had dissipated into a tooth gnashing snarl, his massive teeth becoming more and more evident as his hands jumped from handseal to handseal, "Suiton - Teppodama!" he shouted as a giant ball of water blasted from his mouth towards the man in front of him. His body following form of the brute he truly was as he flexed his massive muscles under his scaly skin, he let out a guttural scream and his eyes fixed upon his new opponent with intensity burning, more so than ever before in his life as he reached behind him and pulled his Blowgun from his back, ready to block any attacks against him with it as a staff.

THis guy was certainly easier to wind up than the others he'd tried in the past. A few small comments about the gentlemans intellectual capacity, and he was all ready to spit outrage... well, outrage and balls of water. He hadn't noticed it before, but there was something different about this man; whilst sure, his build was imposing and grandesque, his skin almost shone in the gloomy light. He was well prepared to dismiss this as him purely being a big greaseball, but no. It wasn't quite like that. It was almost... well, aquatic. The fact he'd used a Ninjutsu however was a keen indicator that this person was either a ninja or someone with equal training like himself. Okibi - the previous Okibi, that is - had warned him to be wary of Ninja. They were flys on the cake of life, or somesuch. f**k it, thought Nate. I'll be the big ass swatter if that's true.

Dismissing such thoughts from his mind, he had to react to the mans provocation. His refined sense of instincts gave him the moments notice he needed to shift his footing aside so that he would evade a direct collision course with the projectile with his body, yet replaced its position with his hand or more accurately, fist. Clenched tight around his dark leather gloves, he jutted forwards and brought his hand crashing against the globule of aqua whilst he internally stoked at his Inner Flame. Feeling the heat and the aggression rise, he allowed the technique known as Hintoeheki to errupt from his hand in a single catastrophe directly at the ball, the two opposing forces of chakra crashing into each other in a flash of fire, water and steam.

Tch... m'fucker wants to start spitting shit now? Alright, lets get to it then

Returning his hand to his side, Nate raised them in something very recently learned; an Upright Boxing Stance. Sure, he didn't know any boxing moves, but he never was one to stick to strict disciplines and what have you. Swaying his head in and out a few times, he then quickly stepped forwards again and at the stick holding fish, and suddenly let out a left jab well before striking range. As he did, he created another phenomenom of flame as a compacted ball of flame no larger than both of his fists combined shot forwards with as much speed and ferocity as a thrown object, aimed dead center for the combatants facial features.

Sekondo Nen (Second Sense)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The brawler depending on the rank of the technique the user is capable of reacting through subconscious mind against attacks against the user in different manners such as being flanked, and from behind. This technique makes the brawler incapable of being surprise attacked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Brawler is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. If an opponent comes to a Brawler at a bar, and attacks with a sword, or a club, the brawler gains the urge to dodge to the left, or to the right, where they are capable of reacting before the action is completed. 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 Brawler
C Rank Activated.

Hinoteheki (Fire Burst)
Rank: "D", "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user sends out a quick burst of flame towards the target. The burst is small, yet effective.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinoteheki (Fire Burst) depends on the strength of the technique.
Description: A technique capable of being performed from virtually any joint or ligament within the human body. This can be performed along the user's feet, shins, knees, hands, fists, elbows, and shoulders. When the user performs this technique, a burst of flame emits out to burn the opponent. The way the flame looks is like that of a simple burst of flame likes that of to much gas emitting in a concentrated area before the flame combusts. When the user first learns this technique the distance of the flame can be pushed out within the distance of a good meter, as the burst looks the size of a human head. When the user then learns the more advanced version the user is capable of exceeding out a much larger burst as it may exceed up to three meters with a burst the size of a human torso. This technique is used for very short-range combat.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Hinote-Kobushi.
Using C Rank

Hinotama (Fireball)
Rank: "D", "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: User produces miniature fireballs and missiles of flame with simple punches.
Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinotama (Fireball) depends on the strength of the technique.
Description: Jabs and punches produce miniature fireballs and missiles of flame. These can be charged up to create larger slower bursts, or swift repetitive strikes to keep opponents off balance. When the user first learns this technique, they quickly punch forward in a fist formation sending out a ball of flame, or a flame in shape of a missile towards the opponent. Each flame causes amounts of damage such as burning effects and is able to ignite any kind of flammable objects including clothing. When the user first learns this technique, the user is able to launch the ball off within the distance of ten meters making the ball of fire within the width of the user's hand. When the user learns the "C" rank of this technique the distance increases to simply twenty meters as the width of the fireball is increased double the user's hand size.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Hinote-Kobushi.

Watching as his Teppodama clashed with and attack of the opposite chakra element only fueled the Hoshigake's rage. Quickly, he coated his feet with chakra and sidestepped the fire his opponent had launched from his fist by sticking to the wall like a gecko feet first, using chakra channeled to his feet. Not soon after sticking, he began running on the wall horizontally whilst reaching into his pouch and retrieving an exploding dart, removed it's cap as he loaded it into his blowgun in one fluid motion, taking time to aim and launch the exploding dart at his opponent as he kept moving along the wall, never stopping until he reached a large Air conditioner protruding from a window that he stood next to, still on the wall and waited to see what would come from his explosive attack.

So the man attacked and ran? Was this ninja tactics? Nate didn't know, but he knew it was damn well infuriating. If your going to fight a person, you get down on the ground and you fight them - yet instead, this overgrown cod wanted to run around the walls. What a pain.

If he thought Nate would keep to his original position when the shark like being leapt off and away, he was mistaken. Matching pace, Nate followed only a few meters behind and along the floor, not betraying the fact he too could climb walls and what have you in a similar fashion. The exploding dart shooting over his head and behind him, his abilities with the Second Sense being enough so he could skirt away from it as it was shot, whilst his own hands were in motion.

He didn't like doing these things very often, for he'd always found Katon to be such an endless chore to perform, but he would need to clip this critters wings and quickly in order to take advantage of the situation. Taking a deep breath as he ran and relying on his Inner Fire as he did so, he made the short, sharp formation of seals before raising his right hand over his mouth in a small circle. Exhaling, he blew forth a spherical inferno from his mouth, larger than his own body by atleast a scale of thrice, and sending it blasting forwards. It didn't move with any great speed, roughly slower than a thrown object only just, but its potential for damage was high.

It was essentially however a distraction. Whilst the Goukakyuu no Jutsu would take care of hiding Nate from sight, he would quickly grab a hold of a scattered plank of wood from the bins and watch from underneath the fireball as to which direction his opponent was moving to. Either way, the fallout and the explosion of flames which would surround the area should cause the stranger to come down to the floor, and there Nate would be waiting, expectant, and ready to crack open the bastards skull.

SPOILER: Click to show

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is cannot be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fiery explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing damage that is even more devastating.

Seeing that his opponent was employing fire techniques once again, Gizamaru watched as he blew fire out towards where he was located on the wall. Running straight down as he created handseals as he ran from the giant fireball flying towards him. Disengaging the chakra from his feet, with a mighty leap, he jumped from the wall, two meters from the street and clapped his hands together, finishing the handseals. "SUITON! Baku Suishouha! he shouted as water began gushing from inside of his body, forming a sudden influx of water, at least 80 meters of water was suddenly materialized within seconds from his gullet. Concentrating chakra to his feet, he kept at the top of the water at all times. With no where for the water to disperse in such a little time, it stayed inside of the ally, the water rushing from either side, hopefully catching his opponent in it and drowning him.

Suiton – Baku Suishouha (Water Collision Waves)
Rank: "B" Rank

Effect: A technique that allows the user to form or create a mass amount of water, or use a mass amount of water in a wave like form.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: This is a Ninjutsu technique utilizing the Water Element. After forming the needed handseals, water is expelled from the gullet. This will then expand into a large volume of water that can be controlled and ridden like a wave.The user must be above the water in a wave like formation so then the user has the capability of riding the wave. The amount of water is not grand to where it can take out a village, but the amount of water is indeed capable of blocking off a approximatly four houses.

Now this really was getting out of hand. Theory of escalation proving precident again, Nate had no choice but to toss aside the piece of wood he was looking to drive into the fishmans skull and seek higher climbs. With his fireball now being enveloped and put out by a great deal of the water, it gave him a few moments to either seek shelter or high ground in order to evade the flood. Such refuge was to be found in, of all things, a metallic staircase on the side of one of the buildings - a fire escape, with one of those pull down ladders. Running at and kicking off of a large dustbin, whose metal sides clanged and boomed with their echo of bootmark striking against their skin, he launched himself upwards and at an angle enough to allow his right hand to grasp the bottom most rung of the ladder itself, gravity pulling both he and it down to the ground. Though it wouldn't be an escape from the water, it would certainly be a steady foothold to keep a grip of whilst the torrent washed down and through. Wrapping his arm around it tightly and gripping hold with both hands, he felt as the cold water crashed down upon him, rising quickly and falling even quicker as the aqua sought escape through either end of the alley itself, moving into the streets and the people who screamed in panic. Climbing, he would continue upwards until he eventually reached the first landing, now safe from the flooded area below.

[Infinite Swordsman Trace]

The water was quickly dispersing due to the open nature of the ally, there was now only 3 meters of water below him as he looked upwards. Squinting, his Scowl grew more prevalent. Removing the Bow from his back he removed a Chakra Net Arrow from his quiver as well, He aimed upward at his Nate, Accounting for the way the arrow flew, he aimed slightly more upwards due to it's arcing flight pattern. as he cocked the arrow, he imbued it with a D rank's worth of chakra for the net once it was deployed.

With a slight growl, he released the arrow, perfectly aimed towards the brawler who had insulted him. The arrow was now at it's peak and was now arcing towards Nate as Gizamaru replaced the bow on his back as his teeth formed into a sadistic smile. The Arrow was right on target.

As though his body were to of acted by its own accord, he had the sudden sensation of something not quite right. Like a flash of inspiration, he felt the sudden compulsion to turn around and look at where his previous opponent was in order to defend himself from something, raising his arms only just in time before the chakra net fired at he split, the arrowheads digging into the wall and holding him pinned onto it. His position was advantageous however, for both hands were close to each other, meaning he could perform handseals. Taking a chance on a gambit, he knew nothing about this net but chakra could overpower chakra in all circumstances and in the correct doses, and to that end he quickly shifted his hands together to form the seals required and the chakra glimmering about his hands themselves. First there was the smell of burning leather, then the gloves would begin to disintergrate as Nates bare hands would glow a near red colour, hot enough to burn through flesh. Grabbing the net, he pulled at it with both hands and tore it apart like it was paper, casting it aside and walking to the edge of the landing where he would plant his foot and point at the merman, entertainment on his face.

Growling turned to Gnashing of his his teeth, Gizamaru's rage was being brought to it's breaking point more and more. No attack hit the other ninja, it was a stalemate by definition. Creating handseals as the water began to trickle out of the ally until there was only about an inch flowing in the downhill area very slowly with puddles all around. His hands finished in the Ram handseal he shouted. "'iragakure no Jutsu!" in a deep growling, nearly demonic voice that had never left his voice prior to that moment. Suddenly, his chakra was infused into the water around him as it bubbled slightly and began evaporating into a thick, dense fog-like mist covering the entire ally and area outside of the ally in mere moments.

His perfect eyesight unhindered by the mist around him that was hindering his opponent's vision. His hands once again began to contort into beasts of the Zodiac once again, with a noticeably less amount of them than before. But Nate couldn't see the handseals as they finished with leftover water condensing around Gizamaru's left arm, hardening to a steel-like hardness with wicked looking claws coming from the end of it. Keeping his eyes trained on the man on the fire escape he jumped backwards onto a displaced wooden crate quietly, waiting for Nate to come down and play.

Apparently, the humanoid foe still didn't want to come and fight Nate directly. There must've been some reason for this - maybe it was too frightened to? Perhaps its display of muscles and strength were really all in aid of nothing, like decorations for a show. Either way, Nate could only hope this guy was worth more than he looked like, for he was pretty damn dull right now.

With the sudden mist hiding his opponent, Nate had no method of tracking him down. Whilst this'd normally be a problem, he knew there was more than one way to take down a foe, and this time he'd use the landscape to his own advantage. Being in an alley, the choices for escape were somewhat limited to either end. This would thusly eliminate the directions his hidden opponent could come from. Still keeping his hands aglow with the searing heat, he dropped off of the balcony and landed with a thud on another dustcart - specifically not on the water itself. With his back to one of the alley openings, he raised his other hand towards the area and in a beckoning motion called to his opponent;

Hey! C'mon!

Coating his feet with chakra once again, Gizamaru would run up the wall, heading towards Nate. The slight pitter-patter of his feet hitting the wall were the only sounds that left the ally as the mist obstructed his actions. When he was nearly in range of Nate, about a foot or two he began to raise his water clawed arm and thrash wildly at the exposed human's back, hoping the draw blood or kill the man. After three Slashes he cocked back his non-clawed arm back and went into the upright boxing stance.

After assuming the stance, it was second nature to throw a punch with his normal right arm. As he let loose with his right arm, his right fist flew in a circular fashion aimed squarely at Nate's head. Whether he was facing forward or still had his back to Gizamaru.

Upright Stance
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Basic upright stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an Upright Stance, you should stand with your legs roughly shoulder-width apart. Your back foot should be about half a step behind your front foot. If your dominant boxing hand is your right hand, your left foot will lead. Lift your right heel off the ground by about 3 inches and point both feet inward (although do not exaggerate this movement). If you lift your heel too far off the ground, or turn your feet too far inward, you will become unbalanced. As a test, imagine someone pushing you from any direction. In a properly balanced stance, you should be able to maintain an upright position and not fall to the ground or sway from side to side. To increase the stability of your stance, keep your knees and hips slightly bent but make sure your back is straight. Your lead fist (which will be your left fist if your dominant boxing hand is your right hand) should be positioned vertically at eye level, approximately six inches away from your face. Your right fist should be positioned next to your chin, with your elbow held against your ribcage. This is good defensive positioning and will effectively protect your body. Whilst watching televised boxing matches, you may have noticed the boxers tapping their cheeks with their hands. This repetitive action acts as a reminder to keep fists up at all times and is especially important as the match progresses and energy levels drop. To further protect yourself from blows from your opponent, keep your chin pressed against your chest. Punches to the jaw often cause knock-outs, so it is essential to keep this stance throughout the boxing match.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing)

The Hook
Rank: "D"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-circular punch thrown with the lead hand or rear hand to the side of the opponent's head.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Shift your weight subtly forward by slightly bending your front leg while elevating your lead elbow to about shoulder height. Push off your front leg to shift your weight more towards the back leg while rotating your torso in the same direction with your lead hand heading towards a specific target. For the purpose of this intro we'll aim face high. That rotation and shifting motion should be accompanied by a whipping or thrusting of the hips. If you have your left leg forward and are throwing a lead hand hook (left hand hook) your hips should thrust from left to right while executing this punch. The punch should reach its mark with tremendous force. This will happen by throwing it fast and aiming to land your fist 6 to 8 inches beyond your target. Your fist can either be positioned to have your palm facing you or the ground. Return to your original stance. Do your best to hit your target with your first two knuckles.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

The footsteps were faint; audible in the silence and in the echoey alley, but faint, causing Nate to strain his ears somewhat. He listened carefully, attentively and intuitively to the pitter-patter sounds as they ran- and then they stopped. Something was coming, but what? He could feel his instincts beginning to grow, warning him of something outside of his line of sight - and then from the mist, it appeared. Slashing and swiping madly, Nate simply raised and parried aside the first of the two swipes with his own chakra coated hands of Searing Heat, negating its slashing potential. As the third one came at him however, despite the face it may have nicked him somewhat, he would close his hand and grip tightly around the hand which had come to attack him, the heat strong enough to sear flesh from a body ever present.

Now in this gripped position, he took the quick hook directly to the shoulder, using it to defend himself and Roll with the Punches, pushing the blow away from him and so that the Hook would cross over his opponents own chest with the redirected momentum. Then in a display of speed, haste and heat, Nate would slowly mutter

Are you ok?

Gearing himself up for the next movement to take. Suddenly, he would smash his body forwards, seeking to collide into the chest of the fish like creature directly with his Close Bull Rush, looking to damage and otherwise hamper the hapless foe. Regardless of whether it hit or not, he'd then step back suddenly and forwards again in such a speed that it left an afterimage of his body behind, and with his spare arm swinging around with a horrendously hot straight. Seeking to force this through and into the opponents jaw, he would not only try to strike with enough power to stun the beast, but from the end of his hand he would cause a catastrophic flame to errupt, the power of sudden explosives strong enough to destroy a wall as both Stunning Fist and Hinotebakudan errupted in a merciless inferno, Nates voice above it all almost screaming his signature moves name;

BUSTER WOLF!

Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Brawler is capable of striking with such finesse, and such accuracy to where whenever a Brawler attacks using Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist) they are capable of stunning an opponent for an amount of rounds depending on the class level the user is as well as the class level of the opponent may be.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is capable of using this technique only to the amount of times they are capable of using Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
Description: Whenever the Brawler attacks the opponent hitting them, striking them using the Sutan Tekken with the consequence of using up a Tetsu Tekken the opponent would become stunned depending on the class of the user as well as the class of the opponent for a number amounts of time. If the user is...
D Class - The Opponent is stunned for One round
C Class - The Opponent is stunned for Two rounds
B Class - The Opponent is stunned for Three rounds
A Class - The Opponent is stunned for Four rounds
S Class - The Opponent is stunned for Five rounds

If the opponent is one class higher to that of the user then the amount of rounds is reduced by one round for "C" Class, Two rounds for "B" Class, Three rounds for "A" Class, and Four Rounds for "S" Class. If the opponent is two classes or higher stronger then that of the opponent then the Sutan Tekken (Stunning Fist) does not affect them.
Limit: Must know Tetsu Tekken (Iron Fist)
1/10

Roll With the Punches
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The user is able to roll with the punches, and not take as much damage that should have been delivered.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not work on Slashing, Piercing attacks, or attacks that are not solidified, that hits in a mass amount, this technique does not work against NinJutsus.
Description: The user has become quite good at handling hits and taking them, they have now trained themselves to roll with their opponents punches as they come to them. By moving their body with the direction of their punch they are able to dodge or take less damage from the hit. When they are hit they go along with the punch or kick to take less damage. Whenever someone would attack bluntly with punching, kicking like techniques, or anything that is blunt like techniques the user sways with the direction of the attack as the attack becomes deafened, the attack becomes lighter, giving less harm towards the Brawler. When the user learns this technique the opponent's techniques become one rank less powerful then it is initially used. This technique does not work against NinJutsus as it only works on Bludgeoning, and Blunt TaiJutsu techniques.
Limit: Must be a Brawler


Kitsui Kaba (Close Bull Rush)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: You become an expert at delivering a Bulrush. One who delivers a devastating blow capable of blowing though concrete, charging forth with such strength that obstacles does not matter.

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: With this technique, the user does not have to rush, or really the user does not need a running start. This technique enables that of the Sensai Kaba (Master Bull Rush) capability without taking a running start. The user takes the understanding of Bulrush to a newest degree to where whenever they make connect, a rush is more powerful, more dangerous then how most people are capable of using the Bulrush. This technique feels as if the strength of the technique increases depending on the Class level of the user. Whenever the user first learns this as a "D" Class character, the technique feels as if it is a "B" Rank technique. This means that whenever a user bulrushes through a defense, the defense takes the hit as if it is trying to stop a "B" Rank technique. When the user becomes a "C" Class character, the rank of the technique feels that of an "A" Rank technique. Finally when the user reaches "B" Class, the technique feels as if it would be considered as a "S" Rank technique.
Limit: Must know Sensai Kaba (Master Bull Rush)

Hinotebakudan (Fire Bomb)

Special: ---
Drawback: Depends on the user's knowledge within Hinotebakudan (Fire Bomb) depends on the strength of the technique. Takes an amount of one movement in order to create.
Description: When the user learns this technique they are able to attack within the distance of four meters. The user uses the concept of Hinotama (Fireball) as they launch a ball of fire towards the opponent at a much shorter range. The ball of flame is condensed greatly as it is only the size of the user's fist. When touching an object it expands in an explosive manner with the explosive power of only that of one meter capable of removing rock walls, and rubble. When the user learns the "B" rank version of this technique they are able to expand the distance of ten meters, while the explosion is increased to that of three meters. This technique again is able to force through larger forms of rock and rubble, able to destroy boulders of three meters in size.
Limit: Must learn from a master of Hinote-Kobushi. Must know Hinotama (Fireball)

Sugizou
Rank: “C”
Skill: TaiJutsu

When learning this technique a person may only do Ten after images per day. If one wishes goes more then this number tissue has a chance to rip and tear. To be able to do more then ten per day one they must train for each again to create one more. This is the basis techniques for all techniques that may consist or deal with moves that deal with the After Image. This means that if a user wishes to know a technique that uses an after image they must have knowledge of this technique as well. Depending on how many after images a user uses within a technique is dependent on how many times this technique is known.
Limit: Universal Technique

As the blazing hand closed around Gizamaru's waterclaw covered arm and hand, in a display of steam it simply evaporated the water claw in Nate's grasp, leaving it completely destroyed. 3rd degree burns covered where the taijutsu master's hand grasped. Screaming in pain, Gizamaru frantically tried to break the hold to no avail. Thinking quickly, he frantically tried to bite at Nate's throat, his massive shark-like teeth gnashing in a frantic attempt to remove Nate's throat unsuccessfully until he saw the Bullrush coming. Suddenly, as it hit. Everything slowed down as the impact occurred. Suddenly a snap occurred, he realized it was his arm, it had taken the full brunt of the Bullrush, a huge amount of damage. It was completely broken in several places and dislocated.

Managing to spit out while his opponent was preparing his Signature attack. "I'm not 'fraid ta die..." he said, nearly vomiting from the pain of his arm. Suddenly... he was surrounded by fire and thrown off the dustbin, tumbling head over heels. Charred and burned horribly, but still alive. "... Dis is da way any... Hoshigake 'ould 'ant to 'o out... 'ightin'" He said with a small chuckle as he spewed out blood over his half broken teeth.

OOC: Good fight Nate... I couldn't find a damn way to get out of that.

[anarchy unbound.]

Releasing the arm of the human-shark, he would watch as the body would fall over backwards and crash on the floor below the dustcart the two had previously stood on. Mist still in the air, he was still visible from where Nate could see, but it was time to end this. It'd been a little bit of fun, some light exercise, but there was a limit to how much fun you can have whilst working.

Releasing the technique which raised the temporature of his paws and slipping his hand into his pocket, he took out one of the basic and yet useful hunting knives he'd acquired previously, and slipped the cold blade out from the leather sheath. Hopping down, he then quickly moved to the neck of the humanoid and in a singular motion, scored across the neck itself, feeling as it shredded through the muscle and nicked the arteries. Throat slit, it'd only be a matter of time until the creature bled out, and then for Nate to decide what to do with this useless cadaver.

At the end of it all, Nate couldn't even be bothered to check to see if this guy had anything on him. Nate had over a hundred K sitting in his bag - he didn't really need money. He was however thankful for the exercise the opponent had provided. Simply leaving the body there for anyone to come across, he turned and left, heading directly out of the town and the distraught citizens who had watched the fight.
