Legend of the Bloodclaw![Event!]

IIC - 2 Days.

In the Rain!

Amongst the Land of Waves there are several small islands off the shores. Though this story would be told amongst the Mainland, a small country that borders Hi no Kuni and the ocean that seperates Mizu no Kuni from the World. It was here that would lay a beast, a beast so fearsome it was laughable the stories told between it's rampages. Well the people of Waves laugh no more as the night of his awakening was upon them and three villages burned already. There was no moonlight tonight as a terrible storm had come from the Sea and began to help the beast terrorize the people. Downpouring rains and high winds would whip across the plains of Nami no Kuni. Out past the two larger villages of Nami, stood a shack, a place where family of Bards would await the aid of the Shinobi world, three large torches lit around the shack to help guide the traveling shinobi on this dreadful night.

Inside the shack, a small table with chairs would stand, a few cots with little blankets. A small fire place with a fire burning within it, smoke rising up but hard to see unless without the flash of lightning through the air. Around the fire sat an elderly couple, then near them three young boys, probably in their mid-teens of age. They were awaiting the travelers, or the Beast, which ever would arrive first, they were well prepared. One would sit with a hand seal held, his eyes closed, constantly watching through his jutsu. A sensor he was, a view of his surroundings was given to know if they were in danger or not. The men of the family of bards were well prepared to die for their cause to protect Nami no Kuni from this beast, they had made it their life long duty to do so.

In the blowing winds coming from the East, would be the smell of smoke from burning wood. That and the smell of death, blood and carnage. The last sighting of the beast was roughly twenty miles from the Shacks location at the small village that burns tonight. The eldest of the three brothers would take up stance and grab his cloak, he'd throw it around himself and walk out of the shack shutting the door, he'd stand out by a large flame of the torch and look out into the dark night, hoping to catch a glimpse of someone coming to their aid. Would any shinobi arrive to save the poor people of Nami no Kuni? Or would they be left to burn like the fools they were, for not believing in the legend of their demise...

[Aiji]

Kidate would arrive behind Naitome having followed him off the ship. There was a huge amount of destruction. The direction of where the beast was was obvious, but Kidate would wait to see what was to happen first. It wasn't bad to get grouped up and formulate plans--

[naitome]

Naitome saw three torches in the distance as he and Kidate arrived at the home of who he was told was a family of Bards. He saw that the other boy fidgeted, no doubt as anxious to begin the killig as Naitome.

He would wait, for something boring or terrible to happen next.

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu quickly reaches the shack and sees three other people one standing on the entrance of the shack and two other people standing in front of the shack. Itsu walks toward the shack and speaks to the man by the entrance “I’m Itsu Iko from the village hidden in the stone and I’ve come to help you.”

OOC: Sorry for taking so long

[RYOHEI]

A glazed over look would pass the face of Rikuto Kaguya as he trailed Itsu Iko towards the shack of bards. This monster...beast..demon, was sure to prove quite troublesome if ninjas from other countries got involved, but what scared Rikuto the most was the fact that he could possibly be the most unprepared ninja present. After whitnessing Itsu's technique, a feeling of low self esteem swept over Rikuto, his heart sinking with every minute that passed. As he made his way through the dingy shack he'd spout his name before returning to Itsu. "Rikuto Kaguya, rock village".

As he'd stood outside, he'd see the two from the shores approach first, they seemed to be ready and willing, though not too long after two more would appear, so a total of Four showed up. As Riku and Itsu had announced themselves the nineteen year old boy would listen and nod. It would appear that the two teams had arrived from Iwagakure and Yukigakure, two distant nations whom most likely had no ties between one another. The boy whom Itsu and Riku had spoken to wouldn't say a word, he simply would reach over and open the door into the shack, allowing them to enter. He though would not, remaining out in the rain and winds, his large green cloak kept him dry and warm. He'd place a cigarette between his lips and light it, taking perhaps his last for this life time.

As the group of shinobi would enter the shack, they would see an elderly couple and two young lads, one not even in his teens yet. This was the family of bards, their wait was over. As the door opened all heads had turned to see, the elderly man's face would light up with joy upon the vision of shinobi arriving. They had grown so much doubt in anyone joining their cause. "Good good, you've arrived," he'd say as he wouldn't rise from his feet. He was getting too old for this kind of life style. "Please come in, we haven't much time to waste," he'd add in. The two boys would stand up and move away from the fire, to allow the shinobi to get closer to their father. It would be time to tell a tale, a tale of death and destruction. Though during all of this the elderly woman would not leave her knitting, she had little care at this point. She viewed death to be her outcome of this evening and had given up hope on their cause.

As the oldest son opened the door to allow them to enter, Kidate would enter the shack. Inside he saw two elder people and the two younger sons. Kidate would listen to what the old man said as the younger boys moved further away from their father so that there was more space for the shinobi to approach the father. Kidate would allow himself to near the old man like needed but he would stay standing. He was ready to listen to whatever it was the man had to tell him, but he was also rather weary to what was happening around him.

[naitome]

Others had arrived; they were all being led through an atmosphere of palpable hopelessness and Naitome could taste the despair lingering freely round the new dwelling they were marched to. It was an indescript shack no larger than a single dojo of his own private training ground, and in the heat of the new country...with others so suffocatingly close....Naitome removed his jacket and absentmindedly activated the first stage of his chaos, eyes flickering as the family of depressed bards would begin their tale of the demon.

First Stage Chaos, Activated.
In Hopes That the killing action starts soon.

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu quickly enters the shack quickly, trying to get out of the rain as soon as possible as he enters he sees an elderly couple and two young boys. The old man would greet the group and encourage them to get closer; the two young boys would then move aside allowing the group to get closer to the old man. Itsu takes a seat closest to the old man taking off his hat as he does “Its good to meet you, I’m Itsu Iko and I think you should tell us all you know about this demon right away.” Itsu listens closely as old man would explain the story behind the demon, hearing the occasional sound of thunder outside.

[RYOHEI]

With the intense storm raging outside and a wild demon on the loose, Rikuto couldn't help but rush into the shack with the others, the sound of thunder filling the tiny creaky shack. After everyone was situated it seemed that one of the men were going to inform the group of the story of the demon, this outta be interesting. They'd probably angered some god or something which called on this demon...blah blah blah! For a brief moment Rikuto felt like going back home for somehow he could tell this was all their fault, but at the same time a part of him wanted to hear the story. "I'm all ears."

[Kuro]

So they would all take their positions near the Old Man whom had been preparing himself his whole life for this moment. He'd begin to tell the Tale of the Bloodclaw, which would be unlike any other tale of demons these shinobi may have heard while growing up. It'd be infact unknown why the Demon existed, though in a world of men whom can spit fire out of their mouth or level an area of a mile radius, who's to question a demon's origins. "So you see, if we don't kill it, it will slaughter the remainder of the small population of this country within it's month of freedom. Until it sleeps for another hundred years," as he had summed it all up, those would be his ending words. In his description of the tall beast, reaching up to roughly five meters in height(15 Feet) standing on two legs, with two long arms tipped with deadly claws. The beast is known for eating flesh of humans and live stock, it's speed is matched by none yet.

Suddenly the door would fling open to the shack as a wounded man would fall into the room. Bleeding from his upper arm and stomach, large slash wounds were the cause of it. "Old man... it's..." attempting to warn the family the man would cough up blood and die there on the floor. Yet another life added to the rising kill count of the Bloodclaw. The eldest son would step in with a concerned look on his face as the man died on the floor. "It's here..." the old man would utter as he knew his death would surely come tonight. The Eldest son pulled from his sheath a blade, he would take to arms as he head out the door to contest with the beast if it truly was within reach. "Quickly, we probably have only a few minutes to prepare you," as the old man's voice would seem to grow frantic at this point. A loud and sudden bang on the wooden wall near the fire place would force the two younger sons to jump and scream in fear. The sound would be that of the Eldest Son's body colliding with the wall as the beast was far closer than they could have hoped for.

"Go now! Kill the beast and free my family from this burden!" the old man would shout. He wanted vengeance on what he would assume was the death of his eldest adopted son. Should the group of shinobi exit the shack, they'd find the three torches in front of the shack still lit and burning bright. Giving those with regular vision a range of fifteen to twenty feet of sight in the dark night and hard rain. Though if they were to venture out of that light, they'd only be granted roughly five feet of vision, not to mention the possiblity of the wind blowing rain into their face forcing them to slightly shut their eyes. The Beast would not be within direct view of any of them, though perhaps it would rear it's ugly head sooner rather than later.

[Aiji]

Kidate would be listening intently to the old man and when the door swung open Kidate would jump back and extend his two main arms. Before he did anything, however, he noticed that it was a man that had been attacked. At this point, Kidate would release bugs from his hidden arms and allow them to walk along the floor and outside the barn. As the old man told them that it had arrived, the eldest son would run out. It seemed he was trying to be brave. Not too long after would a body be heard colliding with the wall. It seemed that the boy wasn't as prepared as he had thought.

As the old man pretty much gave the shinobi a command to rush, Kidate would make his way to the doors. His bugs had already made their way outside and underground. He had begun preparing himself for what was to come. As Kidate made it outside Kidate would reach for a torch as and would return into the barn. He wasn't at the level to be able to charge the enemy alone or first, for that matter. Kidate would wait for at least Naitome or Itsu to go through the door as well before he himself continued. He would love to be first, but he knew he only worked well as support for the time being.

Effect: The Warrior of the Senkou Kensei Kenshiki style within the Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline must have an understanding of random movements to better combat against those around him. For that they must be capable of feeling out attacks, seeing an attack before it happens from behind or being flanked before it happens. 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 Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline fighter 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 Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline fighter 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. Whenever a disciple of Kurējī Ryuu Hiden walks around they act awkward, they are never normal. They seem to be oblivious towards their surroundings but they are always aware, never tense. 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 have Kikaichu Ishoku

[naitome]

Naitome barely registered the ominous tones of the man's story. There was a beast. It needed to be killed.

"If it bleeds, it dies. If it breathes, it's fucking choking."

He said briskly to the man, turning to his side to observe his companions.

The young man he'd journeyed to Waterfall with, the other Snow Shinobi, had released a scattering of his insects out into the night, no doubt in an attempt to discover where their hidden opponent lay in wake. The area to the front of them was secluded in darkness, light stretched out only for about 15 meters, and as Naitome began a slow walk towards the opened gates that would no doubt lead to the demon, his monotone vision showed him that if their adversary was outside, it was well cloaked in the shadows. The boy, Kidate, held back a bit, attempting to scout the area, and he worried that without even a glimmering of understanding as to the abilities of the other ninja around him, their ability to work as a team would be severely compromised. He looked back over his shoulder, eyes blazing.

"I'll move first. I'm a Kamyuja, and i can tell from your physiques that none of the rest of you are. In terms of raw strength, i'm the most capable of surviving any preliminary attack made by the beast. When it strikes...and it no doubt will...i will attempt to provide the rest of you with a better opportunity to attack. But first...anyone with enhanced sight, i suggest you use it now..."

He reached behind his massive gourds and into his field pack, removing five Hikari, and threw them what he guessed was 50 meters into the distance, which would allow their light to cover the area, giving them a better view. The collapsed dead man didn't bother him at all. This was what they could expect.

He moved through the doors a few confident meters, peering into the darkness, Tensa Zangetsu heavy at his back, ready to be removed at a moments notice.

"Let there be light."

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu listens to the old mans explains what he knows about the notorious demon, when he finished one Naitome comments that “If it bleeds it dies and if it breaths it chokes.” Itsu can’t help but chuckle and crack a grin. Suddenly the door would swing open causing the grin disappear from Itsu’s face and as he turns to see who or what is at the door Itsu begins to execute a set of hand seals out of reflex. He quickly finishes the hand seals, and releases his crystal chakra around his body; finally he looks who came through the door and sees a man bleeding from his arm and abdomen.

Itsu uses the crystal chakra around his body to crystallize the air around Itsu’s body encasing him in thin but extremely durable crystal armor that is transparent. Itsu then notices a swarm of bugs coming from one of the ninja within the room and wonders where he is keeping the bugs. Itsu attention is drawn to Naitome, who says that he will go first since he is a Kamyuja, and that he is most likely to survive. Itsu quickly stops Naitome, “Hold on, I’m a master of earth and crystal jutsu, and this crystal armor can withstand an S-rank attack and still not break. So I can withstand whatever this demon can throw at me so I’ll go first just watch my back.”

Itsu then sees Naitome reach into a field pack and grab a few light bombs and throws them outside, Itsu looks away to avoid being blinded by the initial flash from the light bombs. After the bombs go off Itsu quickly moves pass the dead body, the door and into the open field, the residual light from the light bombs reflect off of Itsu crystal armor. As Itsu waits for the demon to attack, Itsu executes a new set of hand seals and channels his crystal chakra into the crystal armor getting it ready to create spikes for when the demon attacks.

Shôton: Crystallization
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create crystal to varying degrees.
Special: Handseals of the technique it is used with..
Drawback: It is impossible to crystallize electricity, wind, or fire. Any element that lacks a physical presence can not be crystallized. Sound Jutsu will act as if one rank stronger then their designated technique when being pitted against crystal. Sound techniques use their high frequency and vibration qualities to essentially shatter your crystals, as opposed to just break them, if they are geared towards acts of that nature *ie they are meant to damage physically and not some sort of genjutsu or the like*. When calculating damage vs the durability of your crystal, remember to add it together. If one person does an A rank vs you crystal that can withstand S rank, you can only endure one A rank more unless the crystal is redone/fixed which becomes costly.
Description: Using your abilities with the crystal release skill you are able to create crystal either by transforming the particles in the air, or a more prominent substance. The technique is your essential crystal technique. It governs two things: the amount of crystal you can create at once, and the strength of your crystalline constructs. At C rank the user is able to crystallize up to a 5x5 section of material per movement dedicated to the process after handseals. This of course can be edited to be proportionally the same such as a 6x4 meter area etc. Also, when you have this skill at C rank, your crystalline constructs are able to endure C rank damage before shatter. This defensive power stacks with whatever technique this is used with if applicable. As your rank increases so to does this techniques power. At B rank, your ability to crystallize becomes a 10x10 meter area, and its able to withstand up to a B rank. At A rank it increases to 20x20 meters, and is able to withstand up to an A rank amount of damage. At S ranks it increases once more to 40x40 meter area, and again is able to withstand an S rank amount of damage. With this technique the user is able to transport through crystalline structures of their own creation at a speed of 5 meters per movement (kind of like underground fish projectile). This technique is generally used passively within other techniques. This technique also allows a user to somewhat “dismiss” their crystal creations at will. When doing so the crystal seems to basically disintegrate.
Limit: Must have the Crystal release.

Kesshô no Yoroi (Crystal Release: Crystal Armor)
Rank: C
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This jutsu allows the user to become encased in a thin sheet of crystal to protect them from blunt force trauma. This armor can also aid the user in performing stronger physical attacks. The crystal is transparent and can only be noticed by light reflecting off it.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: None
Description: Pictur e
Forming the needed hand seals, the user encases themselves in a crystalline armor. It is transparent, but is able to reflect light. It has the ability to block two C rank attack plus whatever your skill in Crystallization before breaking, and lends itself to enhancing punching/kicking taijutsu damage by a D rank due to it adding a slight amount of weight to the strike.
Limit: Must know the Crystal Release, and Shôton: Crystallization

Crystal Release: Crystal Needles
Rank: C
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The user creates little, skinny, sharp, bright pink crystals that shoot at the target at extremely high speeds.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: None
Description: Picture
After learning this technique the user is now able to use their crystal creations to a greater degree. After forming the new handseals, the user is able to take some of the crystal from an already formed creation and produce crystalline spikes out of it. These spikes can harm people touching the structure with piercing damage, or by adding an extra D rank amount of chakra, the user is able to have them spray off the structure, creating projectiles of death. The user may create 20 spikes for every rank of Shôton: Crystallization they know.
Limit: Must know the Crystal Releasem, Shôton: Crystallization

[Kuro]

So it would begin, with the Shinobi's attempts at forming a strategy and beginning to move on their instincts. Would it be enough to hold out through the terror of the Bloodclaw? As the light bombs exploded it would hold no real affect to the beast for it would currently be located on the otherside of the shack. Though as if in pain it would back away into the darkness farther away from the shack. Avoiding the light of the flaming torches in front of the shack. Backing off into the night the Demon would stay roughly twenty-five meters or so from the back of the shack. It's vision not obscured by the rain or darkness. It would watch, waiting patiently for the movement to allow it opening.

As the light from the bombs would seem to fade away they'd be left with nothing more than the torches themselves. So for now how would the shinobi take lead within this battle? The three, Itsu whom had taken lead, Naitome whom would be in second ready for combat, then Kidate whom remained near the back of them. Support was his clear role within this battle. The two sons within the shack would take to arms and wait for now within the walls. If the shinobi ventured round to the back of the shack they may run into the injured Eldest Son, leaning back against the shack on the ground. His left arm torn up badly, his chest along with it. He had around an hour before he'd bleed out, though his pain would be subsided by the shock he was entering. The cigarette still between his lips, he had now been disarmed, left to die in the cold hard rain...

Riku has left the Building folks. Act as if he never entered the thread to join the Event. He has finals for now and is barred from the computer use. He sent me a PM.

[Aiji]

As more bugs would now leave Kidate, he would be searching for the man's eldest son. It wouldn't take them long to find him as he was right after the side of the house. They would bring him into the shed and Kidate would take a quick look at his condition. It seemed that he wasn't doing to well. Reaching into his pouch, Kidate would take out one of his blood clot pills and hand it to the man. This should help him out quite well. That would be one less death for the future.

After that was done Kidate would call his bugs back as they left the eldest son in the barn and went back out with Itsu and Naitome. Kidate would send a female kikaichu on both Itsu and Naitome that way he would always be able to know where they were at even if they moved too far for his site. The bugs that Kidate had used to transfer the son would return to Kidate's body, but the ones that had been sent into the ground would still be traveling to their destination.

As Kidate was sending the female bugs, he would put on his gas mask just in case. Never knew what was going to happen. Kidate would then proceed to equip his MPGs. He would switch to the thermal vision because he didn't want to be in night vision and then someone throw another Hikari.

Staying behind the other two, Kidate was now prepared for what was to come. If he could see the position of the monster now, thanks to the MPGs, Kidate would tell his partners it's position in correlation to theirs. He would also tell them an estimate of it's size and shape.

[naitome]

Nothing. Naitome saw nothing in the fast flickering light of the Hikari, and as even his monotone Kamyuja vision revealed very little in the way of any beast, he saw Kidate move around to the far side of the shack, and heard the sound of someone clearly in pain. He edged back towards the boy, and saw who must be the eldest son of the old bard bleeding away into the night, without the strength to finish even his own cigarette. As Kidate shoved a pill into the man's mouth, Naitome looked back over to their crystal-using companion, snatched the wounded man's cigarette, and lit it.

A small insect crawled atop him and Naitome watched it in perverse fascination for a few seconds before delivering a small terse bit of information.

Didn't see anything out front. Mr. Crystal's still watching for any signs of movements. Did you search around back here?

As the two would begin to move back to the front of the house to continue their search...something bothered Naitome.

"Maybe you all should cover your eyes again."

He said, switching on his own MPG's over his head and throwing a light bomb 30 meters to their rear...their right...their left....back again to the front. Thermal Vision activated as well as the tiny expensive camera he'd had built into it, he called out....

"Whatever this thing is, it seems to be hiding itself in the darkness pretty well. I hate that. Anybody else think they can light up the area around us?

...and scanned the areas where he'd thrown the light bombs. In the receding flash (reduced by the technology of the goggles), his thermal vision caught a flash of...SOMETHING...moving around the rear of the shack..

"Hey. I might have found something. Back of the shack...need more light back here..."

He hoped the others could deliver.

[Itsu Iko]

Itsu doesn’t see any sign of the demon and when the light from the hikari bombs, Itsu reaches into his flank jacket and pulls out his own MPG goggles. He quickly puts them on and switches them to the thermal setting and begins to look around the area trying to find the demon’s heat signature. As he does this he doesn’t notice the bug that lands on his body, however he does notice when Naitome says that they should cover their eyes. Itsu quickly covers the lenses of his goggles with his hand protecting him from of the blinding light that Naitome plans on producing.

Itsu hears the familiar sound of light bombs going off and removes his hand from the goggles allowing him to see. Itsu resumes scanning the area looking for any sign of the demon, suddenly Itsu hears Naitome say he sees something at the back of the shack and that he needs more light. Itsu looks behind the shack and sees the heat signature as well and quickly thinks for a second, “I have a couple fire jutsu that could provide light but if it hits the shack it will only add to our problems. So I have something else in mind it will be easier to catch if it didn’t move.”

Itsu quickly executes the hand seals rat, boar, dog, ox, and tiger, after he finishes the hand seals Itsu quickly transfers his earth chakra into the ground around him. He then channels his earth chakra through the ground toward the heat signature behind the shack. When the earth chakra reaches the heat signature, Itsu uses the earth chakra to create white earth bandages that shoot out from the ground and quickly wrap around whatever the heat signature is.

Crystal Armor Still In Effect

MPG's, Worn/Thermal Vision

Earth Mastery
Rank: B, A, 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.

Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique)
Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" "S"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user takes the time to formulate, or create Rock in order to use other types of techniques for great usages.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Must be learned more and more in order to be capable of performing better, and capable of producing more Rock like formations for other types of techniques. Cannot be used on Sand
Description: What occurs is that the user takes the time to push down into the ground their own chakra. As the user does this the user takes the earth like materials found within the ground which is the components of soil as they begin to formulate and harden them all around in order to create harden rock like materials. The user may slam their hands against the ground in order to use this technique or just by pushing their chakra down to the ground. A user can gain the capability of grabbing onto the very ground and molding a piece of earth into a hardened like rock. The more the user learns and the higher the Difficulty class the user becomes the more they are capable of mastering this type of technique. When first learned the user is only capable of formulating rock into the size of their hand. When the user learns the "C" Rank, version this type increases to five meters in radius. Each time learned after that, the distance increases by ten feet giving a total distance of thirty-five meters in a radius distance. For each Difficulty class the User is the larger number this distance becomes. Each Difficulty class after C The distance increases by Ten meters. This means that if a user becomes S Rank in Difficulty Class and learns the S Rank Version of this technique the user is capable of formulating Rock within a Seventy-Five meters Radius.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release

Doton: Tsuchi Baindo
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Literally Doton: Tsuchi Baindo means Earth: Earth Bind. The reason why it has called such is the effects of the 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 Doton, it manipulates stone or dirt.
Special: Rat, Boar, Dog, Ox, Tiger
Drawback: One must have Earth Release to perform.
Description: The Earth 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: Earth Release

[Kuro]

As the group would lead around the side, their attempts might be slightly foiled by the actions of the Thermal Vision of the Multi-Purpose Goggles. Depending on their position the heat of the large torches would be bright and intense distracting from view the distance of the Bloodclaws true position. If not blinding for them, Kidate and Naitome whom had moved more towards the side of the shack would be less affected though on the edges of vision may have some bright readings. As for Itsu whom had remained in front of the Shack, he'd be blinded using the thermal vision. Assuming he attempted the technique his aim would fail and the attack would most likely fall short.

As for the Beasts vision, the heat signatures from the torches were distant and not affecting so much. Though it would slightly help hide the signatures of the Shinobi until Kidate and Naitome had approached around the side. It could see their figures, though would continue to wait, for approaching the heat would clearly harm it's vision. The Hikari would explode, the brightness caused by minor flashes of heat would not harm the vision of anyone viewing through thermal sight. The brightness would clear though not really do any of them any good due to use of the thermal vision, they would be able to see the signature of a large creature off in the distance. This of course would be excluding Itsu. Now facing off, who would make the first move? Would the beast take advantage of speed and raw power upon the shinobi?

Questions Concerns? PM Me.

"I don't know why you need more light. It doesn't help us see through the thermal vision. If you really need it, though, you can have my light bombs. Also have you covered with water and sand..."

Kidate would have the Hikaris in his outstretched arm as he waited to see if the snow ninja would take the light bombs away. Kidate now had a clear destination for his bugs to go. They were still underground as they had been for the past while. Soon they would be where they were needed.

Kidate had made it a point that he wouldn't be the first to jump in battle. He just wasn't built for that form of fighting as of yet. He would eventually, but for now he would live being simple support.

It wouldn't take the bugs long to reach where Kidate had sent them for sure. Once they were under the beast, Kidate would activate his jutsu. It was time that the bugs showed what they could do. The ground under the demon would begin shaking for three seconds. The vibration to him would probably feel like nothing dangerous. All the bugs that Kidate had put into the ground would then erupt out of the ground as they attempted to engulf the enemy. There current goal was any and all kikai's goal.

-Passive Techniques-


Joufu Maindo (Warrior's Mind) [10][20]
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Warrior of the Senkou Kensei Kenshiki style within the Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline must have an understanding of random movements to better combat against those around him. For that they must be capable of feeling out attacks, seeing an attack before it happens from behind or being flanked before it happens. 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 Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline fighter 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 Kurējī Ryuu Hiden discipline fighter 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. Whenever a disciple of Kurējī Ryuu Hiden walks around they act awkward, they are never normal. They seem to be oblivious towards their surroundings but they are always aware, never tense. 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: Taught by a Master, Must go under the Kurējī Ryuu Hiden Discipline
