Here comes a New Challenger! [Tr]

[anarchy unbound.]

Heading out from Seisui, Nate would then head directly west. His next destination is the town of Soseki, in the land of Iwa no Kuni. It was a hard, heavy town, much like his own of Hikkaku. Perhaps there he would find an opponent of more mettle than the previous two.

Now in the land of Soseki, Nate had to comment on the architecture of the place. Here even at the gate, a high stone arch with only a wide enough passageway for a single cart to pass through, yet it was so intricately decorated with carvings and what have you. Deciding to rest before he entered the village, he took off his bag and lay it down next to him whilst he leaned against the wall, looking at the high sun, and wondering which new challengers he'd meet as he ventured further in.

It seemed as the the ventures of this former Ame nin would never cease. The chewing off, the chakra flooding his left hand, it was all that he could want seeing how his little mouth was building a miniature explosive version of himself. It was quite obvious he had yet to unveil the technique and no doubt it was taking longer than he thought it would. However, seeing as he now had the location of both Ame as well as Iwa and quite an abundance of Ryo not to mention being missing from Ame, there would eventually be some kind of bounty over his head and he hadn't the practice he needed to see how his techniques would actually turn out in battle. A sigh of relief holding yet a hint of anxiety would take him to something near the inevitable...

It was but a sentence of words decently selected from his vocabulary yet it was a selection that was quite interesting... To him...at this time at least. Just Blow Something The Fuck Up. It was art, and not just any art, his art. Things would be taken from one place to the next and eventually a little boom boom pow would leave him standing on the victim's head. Of course he would never do such as it would be a sign of disrespect, however he knew how things went...never according to plan. Though, the chakra rolling throughout his left arm all so swiftly as the white pearls within battered the piece of clay it held, chomping down onto it like a delicious piece of gum that would never lose its flavor - the chakra would be imbued bite by bite into the white tool and eventually hold a Boom to give all who opposed him.

Of course he hated his actions at times but it was his interest in the status of his art that brought him to such. If it were anyone else no doubt they would be feeling the same way... It's too interesting to hide yet too shameful...NOT to show. As big as his ego was he couldn't help but attempt to make it grow as each bite that this clay felt made the little tool within grow larger as he wanted his attitude to. Quite the shinobi? The umbrella he so loved however, would rest at his back tilted to the right just in reach for a quick clench and swing whether defending of destroying and the crimson and dark cloak that surrounded him would be something that even halted his appearance from being given off and his identity revealed. He'd nod, a sigh to himself as his little hand mouth continued its bidding.

The place he'd begun to stroll through was quite flattering however. Though his attention had been on the chomping mouth most of the time his eyes would be upon the architecture of this place. Some large overpass he'd walk through would lead him past a shinobi, not to his knowledge however. A simple glance over his shoulder would leave his presence known however. A smirk behind the high collar of his cloak would bring him to turning...his mood churning quickly and the urge to go Boom rolling through his veins despite the chakra that had already been doin so. A swallow and quick glance to his dangling chakra ridden arm would be made and there he would watch.

/Now closed to AION and Nate/

There was never a good reason to start a fight. "Good Reasons" are just justifications the guilty have to make for their actions, to keep their own moral compass to continue pointing in the right direction, regardless of how jaded it can actually become over time. There was never a Good Reason for a fight. There were just Reasons - and Nate had just been given one.

It wasn't so much the fact he had looked at Nate, but simply the way he'd done so. That over the collar, down the nose glance which reeked of aristocracy, nobility, pride and - well, being a cunt. There was something else as well - though he could see the mans mouth wasn't moving at all, there was a sound of chewing to be heard. It was a strange sound, but definate in the form of mastication, even with the minute sound of something being swallowed, too. Nate could only guess it was coming from the man himself, somehow. The final, most notable point to the man was his choice of forehead adornment - a headband. That signified a shinobi. Fightin' folk. That brought a tone of happiness to Nates mind - finally, another challenge like the one before. This one however had a visible slash through the middle - not a careful etching like the symbol of four lines running vertically. Was this what was to be considered a "rogue" shinobi?

Regardless, Nate couldn't let anything slip. Pushing himself off of the wall, he slowly slipped into his Upright Stance whilst his Second Sense kicked into place, a wash of clarity swooning over him whilst he could feel his hearts own tempo increasing, and adrenaline start to course through his veins. He'd hop lightly from one foot to another, testing to make sure his legs hadn't gone numb, and disregarding his bag entirely whilst he continued to eye up the youth younger than he.

Yo

He'd growl back, his voice unexpectedly hoarce and rough as though it were akin to rocks grinding together. It held no trace of anything human or emotive. It was time for round one.

Suddenly moving to punch, yet meters off of his target, Nate would thrust his right arm forwards in a straight. The entire time, he'd been fanning the power of his Inner Flame, building up the required heat and potential damage to be done, preparing himself for the sudden burst. At once and from the end of his hand, Hinoteheki would errupt, tormenting forth in a torso sized wrath of flames. This was all a ploy though, for using the rushing flames as a distraction, Nate would suddenly dart forwards at unimaginable speeds of Shunshin to a scant meter to the mans right hand side, and with one arm out in a lariat of sorts, blast forwards with a Close Bull Rush to try and clothesline the man in the side of the neck with, hopefully, enough force to stun, if not snap it.

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


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)

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.
C Rank Used

1/4 Shunshin

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. A full power bulrush feels as if it is much stronger then it should be. When the user learns this technique they are capable of using Sensai Kaba (Master Bull Rush) without a running start.
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)

If this wasn't "shit" what was it? It was quite obvious this one was quick but Shiro had plenty up his sleeve. It was obvious that he was to rush this Blonde artist by launching flame and at the immediance of his punch would warrior take a quick movement to evade in such a way that would lead him beneath the very clothesline and at the edge of the very flame that would be sent at him in a quick roll. However, this would be simultaneous to his chewing hands' action if not after, his fingers ridding the piece of clay, ten slots worth, and forcing it into a variety of pieces that would create some thing that he did indeed like. Disppointed that he couldn't take flight at this very moment, he'd grin and have the stature of his fingers create four snow white centipedes, crawling from these fingers and taking camo within the rather large cloak around his person.

Six inches each in length, two of the four would be left to fall helplessly and obviously hidden to the dirt, as this warrior's speed took him into blindfire, his momentum would be used against him (Nate). This wasn't it however. Indeed his movement would exceed the Shinobi's (Nate) speed and a quick pop would take him ten meters away quickly via shunshin and to leaving the other two creations to burrow within the earth five meters in between like no other creature (one and a half feet down). The pressure of the earth itself around the first two would already be enough to set the two off and make the enemy go boom however it was never in Shiro's interest to underestimate an enemy... He was dealing with Art however, Shiro's art; THE art. The last two Centipedes however, would be as stated one and a half feet within the earth and two meters apart just waiting.

The fingers of Shiro would begin to riddle the remaining six slots of molded clay, searching for creation. Whether his opponent moved or not, the two creations at his feet would explode with proportions of three feet high and one meter in radius.

This clay creation moves about upon the user command; it will burrow and implant itself in the floor when commanded to do so. From here on out, this creature does not follow have to follow the commands of the user. Katsu does not have to make it to explode, and it can act independently from the user. The creature burrows into the dirt roughly 1-2 feet down, and waits for any contact from above. If an individual were to walk on the burrowed clay creation, it will detonating itself a second later; exploding upward .The blast radius is only 1 meter around, 3 feet high from the floor. This blast can leave serious (2nd-3rd degree) burns if used correctly.

Nate hadn't seen anything drop, or even any semblance of an attack at all, but he'd learned to trust in Second Sense. That fighters instinct, the secret voice which alerts them through some type of divine decision, and right now that voice was speaking ever so clear to him. It was telling him; get the fuck away. No sooner had he tried to turn his movement into a dive roll forwards than he felt it. A wash of heat and concussive force, potentially traumatic if it weren't for his Heat Mastery and ability to Roll with the Punches, nulling both the lick of flames which struck him and lowering the concussive, brutal shock which would have otherwise potentially mulched his lower half and upwards.

Landing on his shoulder and turning as he did, so upon recovery in a crouched position and facing his opponent he would be able to clock eyes directly on him. He could now also see the hole which'd been left by the previous attack - it was strong enough to rival his own Hinotebakudan. This made him happy. Finally, thought the Wolf inside of him. Meat what can fight back!

It wouldn't last too long though, Nate knew. Not now he'd had the man where he'd wanted him originally. To the mans back would be the archway Nate had only moments before been leaning against, and the perfect breakwater for what was to come; Katon: Hidora no Jutsu. His hands quickly making the chain of symbols together, he kept present in his mind that this fellow could at any time simply Shunshin again to either side, yet Nate knew there were limits to Shunshin itself; ten meters. In that space of thirty feet, everything would be decided. Raising a hand to his mouth and blowing hard, three infernal columns would burst forth and assume the formation of that the most majestic of all myths; the dragon. At roughly a forty-five degree angle, the two dragons at the furthest sides of the technique would blaze forwards and straight at the edge of the archway, seeking to cut off any further route for escape whilst the third and final would be rocketed forwards, straight at where the person stood. Should the chance occur where the man did dodge, then the explosions from the dragons themselves should be more than enough to cause significant damage - whether it be to the man, or to the Archway itself.

Heat Mastery
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to be around and work with very intense heats, helping by preventing burns and singes.
Special: User gains automatically when dealing with fire techniques.
Drawback: Requires dedication to the path of fire techniques.
Description: At this stage in the user’s use of fire jutsu, they have worked with and probably been burned and signed with their own jutsu for a long while. They have a deep understanding on the ways to manipulate fire and take that understanding to a new level. This level of use allows the user to perform and master the use of fire jutsu without worrying about the minor burns and singes that can easily stack up in heavy combat.
Limit: Automatically gained once the user has knowledge of 500 TP of Fire Release techniques.


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

Katon Hidora no Jutsu (Fire - Hydra Technique)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique in which the user takes the concept of Ryuuka but is capable of using it more of a destructive manner and more of a diverse manner. Instead of one large dragon like form being shot forth towards the opponent, the user is capable of increasing the amount of them into an amount of three draconic creations with similar devastation.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: They are only capable of going in a straight line. Projectory may not change directions.
Description: A Large creation is created as the user performs the necessary handseals for the technique. As the user does, so they raise their hand up over their mouth. By taking in a deep, breathe the user fills their lungs with chakra to in, which ignites the moment they blow the air out. As the user blows out the creation of fire is made taking the form of a giant dragon like creature. The Dragon is quickly hurled towards the opponent as the dragon swivels and swerves moving like that of a Chinese Dragon. Then without notice or movement the large dragon splits into three smaller sized forms of dragons as they twist and turn around one another heading towards the intended target. This technique is used to where the user is capable of controlling each dragon to hit at different times. This means that each draconic form of fire may be one after the other before hitting the initial target. The user is capable of pushing so much power into the technique to where when it touches the target it is needed it is ignited in a mass blaze of glory, creating a grand explosion for each form.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release, must know Katon - Ryuuka no Jutsu (Dragon Fire Technique)

Timing? As graceful as it would get. Shiro, a sitting duck? Stuck? The shinobi's (Nate) handseals were indeed faster than the usual but it was nothing faster than his own...well maybe a bit faster, but there was still an abundance of clay within his grasp and within such would he be holding dual humming birds. Though it seemed the explosion he'd planted was dodged and damage was slimmed little to none, a sense he had which was unknown to the clay artisan had saved him. But now, with no attack, what was there to jump from? The creations would leap from his hand around the end of the handseal performance and beginning of his cupping to the mouth for flame exhalation and set off with ease after closing some short distance, getting into range quick and easily would a flash blind the shinobi as expected, more than likely. Taking a five meter radius with it, Shiro's own vision would be saved by his MPGs.

This shinobi on the other hand had completely exhaled flame at nothing but a wall for Shiro's body would push forth as if he'd teleported once more, nearly striking his limit but leaping through distance no doubt closer all the while his hand would release a number of Heated allies filled with iron. Once again was he feeling that dumb-struck ego of his kicking out of his teeth, forcing him to etch words out of the moment but as big as it was, he was smarter. Concentration was all he needed now for the shunshin had taken him five meters forward, left, which would mean he now stood just five from his opponent and being blinded by the dual Flashbangs already the opening was his own. At the right, five meters from his enemy, the three birds would close in from the remaining directions left.

Now it was Nate who the sitting duck had been. A wall at his back and creations shooting for his blinded front (where Shiro had been standing), his shoulder (where Shiro is Facing) and for his back. At the warrior's right shoulder would be a brick wall. Movement done and creations released in less than three seconds, he was ready to hone the opponent the iron birds charing the blinded shinobi would be eyed as a handseal lifted before Shiro's chest.

his facial completely altering, as the words would etch from his lips in the loudest of a shout. The birds charging would be to release nothing more than heats that would tear a crater into the ground and concussive force that would maim not to mention the scraps of metal that would tear through the shinobi and even catch Shiro along the way. With the power of three exploding tags and Nate in the middle, this fight had neared it's end... Maybe. The ego of his was tearing through his head, a devilish look, demonic if you will, would claim his face. He couldn't help but grin in the works of his art...he'd now taken sight of what he had come through and didn't seek to stop here. The ram handseal held tight, clay would be tossed within his mouth as the heats continued and his own person stood scarce...

Effect: Creates a clay bomb that can blind its enemies.
Special: Refer to “Katsu”
Consumes 1 slot for one mouth.
(Maximum size: small sized creature)
(Maximum amount: 1 creature for one slot used)
Drawback: Time and preparation. Non-lethal
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, the user may form any creature they wish from the clay (spiders, birds, etc. Small size). This clay creation moves about, fulfilling the users desires. Upon command, this clay creature will explode, leaving a blinding light in its wake. This flash of light is similar to any normal “Light bombs” but somewhat weaker. The flash only covers a 5-meter radius, and blinds its enemies for less then 3 seconds, and slightly dazed afterwards for 2 seconds. The explosion does not harm enemies what so ever.
Limit: Must know "Katsu", Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) at least once, D-ranked "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) and D-ranked "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)

Consumes 2 slot for one mouth
(Maximum size: small sized creature)
(Maximum amount: 1 creature for one slot used)
Drawback: Time and preparation. Permanent destruction of weapon: 1 slot worth, secondary. The clay creature is a bit slower in its movement then other clay creatures. (See more below).
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, take the clay and further molds it around a piece of metal (Must be 1 slot worth of metal from a secondary item). Afterwards, the user may form any creature they wish from the clay (spiders, birds, etc. Small size). This clay creation moves about slowly, fulfilling the users desires. Upon command, this clay creature will explode, creating a blast in its wake. This explosion is roughly the equivalent to 1 of an “Exploding tag”. The explosion covers a radius roughly 3 meters in size, but due to the fact that metal was added to the clay creation, Fragmental scraps reach a radius of 8 meters in size. This shrapnel may cause serious lacerations, cuts and slashes as pieces of heated metal passes through the skin. Unfortunately, this small clay creature must carry the metallic object with it, because of this, the speed and movement of the clay creature is reduced (moving roughly 15% slower then normal clay creatures).
Limit: Must know "Katsu", Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) at least once, C-ranked "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) and C-ranked "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)

It was hard telling quite what had happened. Nate was all ready to blast out the Katon Ninjutsu he'd so well remembered, but there it was again. That second sense warning him of... something. Holding fire (and with no pun intended), he would give it a scant half a second to understand what - until it happened. Robbed of his sight, suddenly there would be a massive flash of light infront of him, like someone had just taken a picture at point blank range. Seeing nothing but white, he continued to hold his technique in place, now having to much more heavily rely on his Second Sense than previously.

It wasn't that ability which warned him of the next oncoming however. As his eyes began to adjust, and his retina began to control the amount of light entering his eyes once again, he stood stock still dispite the wave of dizziness and yet he could hear something clearly. There were faint footsteps, co-inciding with his Second Sense, and something else; the sound of flapping. Could it be birds? Or something much worse. Either way, he would have to make a judgement call, and that call told him to trust in his gut.

Then suddenly as he felt the familiar pressure of objects entering his range of personal space, he would flee. Jumping back just as the man shouted some word, he could now see clearly that he would have been destined for a particuarily nasty explosive attack. He didn't get off free from the attack however, as a shard of shrapnel flew at him and scratched across his face, although the leather jacket and jeans fared well despite, whilst his Heat Mastery took care of the flames. Now with no waiting time or preperation, he released his technique straight at where the man had yelled from, altering the path he'd wanted the dragons to take so that they were much more closer knit, leaving only five meters between them. They would be sent directly at the ground, blasting through the cover of fire and smoke left by the mans own creations, whilst Nate would recover to a further distance.

Dragons released, he'd tarry not in preparing for another powerful, consuming Katon technique. This one was crafty and twice already he'd caught Nate somewhat off guard. A bug as quick and thrifty as this would need to be trod on underfoot sternly. Handseals in a flurry of motion again, he would now suddenly form a new technique, the Fire Gatling. He'd not jused this technique in quite a long while, rather more preferring for the quick, devastation attacks of Ryuuka and Gyoukakku, but now he would have a need for it. Wasting no more time, he would unleash a barrage of fire in a spread pattern all across the area, swathing it entirely in smaller balls of fury in a way which covered ten meters to either side of the man, and atleast some meters above.

Now attempting to capitalise on the situation, and with both Hidora and Fire Gatling deployed, he would sprint forwards and into the throng of now blazing earth, forming a final set of seals for this round. This was his personal favorite of all that was Katon, and the main accomplice he took whenever moving in for a more close quarters and personal fued; Searing Heat. Feeling his hands come alive with the power of chakra as it raised their temperature to an unprecidented level, hot enough to burn through flesh and other such biological matter, he would keep his senses active and alert. Here in the fire and the smoke, somewhere was his enemy - unless he should already fall victim to the previous attacks.

Description: The user performs the handseals, creating a faster and stronger version of the Housenka no Jutsu. This Fire Gatling technique launches out thirty Housenka-sized fireballs at the same speed at which the Housenka no Jutsu would release its’ smaller amount.

By a miracle of some sort his opponent had made it through the explosion and re-directed the dragons he'd created. Heading toward him at some pace, his umbrella would be clenched and tossed upright within the air and above his little friend, twirling and raining a deal of one hundred senbon dead down onto him all the while the pressure of the flame shooting across the ground would set off the remaining land mines planted thus cutting off what was left to arrive at his front. This wouldn't be the end however as his hands would bring an abundance of exploding tags to surround a single Hyourogan Pill which was tossed into the distance as he made the distance in between he and his opponent grow as well, five extra meters plus what the opponent had created. If he wasn't impaled by the endless rain of senbon at this point he was some sort of god.

The tags surrounding the pill would counter act with the explosions of the mines and cancel out what flame had come from the dragon as well as his sudden array of fireballs and if it wasn't this that had done the trick, a quick fluttering of wings would do it. As if it were the only one, neh, never; this humming bird would sling forth and erupt into an array of flame ten meters into the distance giving Shiro just enough time to retaliate. The dual dragons would miss the warrior, halted if not ceased by five meters for quick action was written all over him. Flame cancelling flame no doubt, his mouth would release hold of five humming birds of a new yet same essence as the previous. No doubt he was heated (burned) by the abundance of heats however it was nothing he couldn't handle as the humming birds created would speed into the very skies of the land and await instruction. Simply fluttering around like butterflies. Their size would make them a target to be reckoned with, however the munching wouldn't stop here.

Two final creations would rest in his grasp and awaiting the enemies move would be required as the final piece would be laid down.

In the midst of the flames and the smoke, as you can imagine, visibility was rather poor. Not even able to trust to his ears now, he internally commented at how stupid an idea it was to rush in here in the first place - on the other hand however, the raging fires would give him some protection against these small creations coming at him. Perhaps the fire would be enough to damage them before they could continue to explode, like those he'd so narrowly avoided before.

Yeah, right. Like that was going to happen. Nate needed a new game plan, one which involved getting the man close and then just letting rip into him with a solid Buster. His observation time would be cut short however, as with only a moments notice of Second Sense, he would become pelted by a full array of Senbon. He knew what these items were, having known enough about Ninjas and their tools for a main part of his life, but this was his first time actually facing them in combat - and they fucking hurt. Though his thick leather jacket provided /some/ protection, it was nominal as it only reduced the piercing effect. Throwing his arms so they covered the back of his head and turning away from the shower itself, hunching down, his back and arms took the main pelting. It was like being done over by an insane acupuncturist. When it was over however, he took off his jacket and forced most of them to come ripped out from his body (notably, there were a few left, but with his entire back hurting, he couldn't tell the difference). The danger now however was that he might bleed out from all of these piercings, and that wouldn't be too welcome an end at all - certainly no where near cool enough. Knowing the risk and the pain which would follow, Nate quickly moved his hands with the Searing Heat to his back and quickly brushed over the wounds he could reach, cauterising a majority of them (and causing a rather undignified howl of pain). Atleast now however he wasn't in danger of dying though.

Now whether the next part was by luck or some divine intervention, Nate caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye which was- yes, it was him. That fucking man with the chewing. Angered and snarling in a feral manner, he would glare at the man for only a moment standing meters away and outside of the camoflage of smoke and flames, whilst Nate would steady himself. Then in one motion, he'd hold his right hand out with the palm facing his opponent, glowing red from the amassed Katon.

In a blink, he would shunshin straight into where the man was, however slightly somewhat to his right. This would place his hand, readied from the previous round, under half a meter away from the mans gut - and with a terrible force, Nate would seek to slam it straight into that persons stomach with strength enough to send him flying and fire hot enough to brand Nates handprint into his skin - though if that connected, Nate wouldn't give him the reprieve of disappearing off. Straight after the first blow would connect, he would then twist around and bring his left palm up high and seek to bring another Iron Fist style blow straight into the side of the mans face, aiming to snap his neck by catching him suddenly off guard.

The bout was an interesting one, Shiro himself even being pushed beyond his limits here. So much clay but not enough skill nor experience to correctly perform. It was against he himself to admit that he was lucky here but when death came this close you just didn't have a choice. A long range fighter and a close range fighter...obvious which one would come out on top but it wasn't to happen all so easily. The enemy would lunge forth, blindly charging again as to where the warrior (Shiro) would find himself pleading and groaning to himself about how he couldn't fail...how his art was the ultimate item, weapon and how disappointed he was with it. He would slow, his mind at least. He and all around him would begin to slow as his heart throbbed. No doubt scared shitless or rather nervous of what was about to happen his eyes widened.

Near blind-like, the enemy's hand would lunge for Shiro's gut and of reaction, his own hand would lift to release what was in his grasp, tossing it lightly to his neck. Snow white in color, nothing but a Leech, applying itself to his neck (hopefully), this shinobi would be headed for nothing but death. As his speed and blind actioning would be his downfall, it would be Shiro's winning ticket. Though this happened, he wasn't out of the fire just yet, a fist tossed through the air aimed for the upper body possibly an incredible blow that would finish his little life of clay creating... He wasn't that stupid. To stand idle and let it hit? He was NO sitting duck and upon the thought would his right hand sling to this area just barely missing the fist and due to such would a number of his fingers be broken if not his hand entirely.

A grin shooting across his mug as his body was slung through the air. At this point however it was already known that the five flaming creations that had previously lifted off were closing in on the little altercation and with quite the speed. His mind raveling and bidding, yapping on the situation - he devilishly grinned upon the pain he'd been suffering at this point and hated the fact that his gut was burning like hell, a hole in his cloak...frustrating. Paralell with the very earth, but a few feet from meeting it, his eyes would lay upon the enemy and the small creation on his neck. It was about that time...a single handseal formed with the left hand at his chest.

[/i] he'd widen his grin as he thought ferocious-like. The five flaming creations closing in on a five point star shape, ready to blow. It was obvious this heat couldn't be coped with, "A BANG, KATSU!" the entire ten meters around this enemy lit up like the morning skies. A sphere of heat and concussive force, orange and red smoke shooting in every which direction. All the while a more concentrated blast would ensue within the center. He was lucky and for the warrior (Nate) there was no escape.[/ul]

“Tagging Bomb” (30TP)
Rank: C-ranked

Special: Refer to “Katsu”
Consumes 2 slots for one mouth.
(Maximum size: small size creature)
(Maximum amount: 1 creature for two slots used)
Drawback: Time and preparation. (See more below)
Description: After molding and infusing a piece of clay, the user may form a creature they wish from clay (Non-flying types only; usually spiders, insects, etc. Small size) This clay creation moves about, fulfilling the users desires and searches for nearby targets. Once a target is acquired, this little bomb attaches itself onto its enemy. The user then commands this bomb to explode inward on its target, with the equivalent force of 1 “Exploding tag”. There is a small 2-second delay between the command of the user and the bomb from the bombs initial latching, which can allow the enemy to brush off the bomb. If the bombs is not removed in the given time period, this blast can seriously harm the target. Although the blast radius is roughly 1 meters in size, it is a blast that is concentrated within that 1 meters, which is why it can be very harmful if used correctly. The blast can leave 3rd degree burns in its wake and minor lacerations as well. If luckily brushed off by the target, the blast does not become lethal (when off the body). Once it is knocked off, the clay bomb cannot attach itself to its target any more.
Limit: Must know "Katsu", Kuchisaki Seichuu (Mouth Control) at least once, C-ranked "Touji Hyu-zu" (Clay Infusion) and C-ranked "Touji Itonami "(Clay Life)

Nate went kaboom, and with him, all of his money.

Shit.

[Someone wanna' call it?]

[Oienka™]

His body would touch down and skid across the very dirt beneath him, eyes narrowed as the pain of his little scars ran through his body. The cloak around him being removed and his belt remaining, he'd make way to his Iron Umbrella, weaponless, his right hand dangling with indescribable pain shooting throughout. All he could think of at this point was his arts' succession and his leave, taken. Nothing left of this warrior, he'd head off. However, it was first a matter of Looting that he'd first need to take care of. Thorougly shifting through the terrain, all that the enemy had dropped would be claimed, ryo, secondaries and all else intact. Grinning with the broken right hand dangling, he'd make his exit.
