[Nira]

A young little girl was sitting down, leaning against a tree. She was pretty much right next to the river. The water was rather murky, and she was pleasantly bored. The cliffs opposite to where Naira was sitting looked pretty weak, she could probably punch through them if she wanted to. What was there to do on a boring day? She had no allegiances to fall to, no, family to visit. This little nine year old was just stuck on a do-nothing day. Did anyone ever even walk to this area of the world? Oh nature, you could be ever so boring, can't you?

Naira had a pencil and a journal with her, and she was just writing and doodling to pass the time. Her light blond hair flowed with the slight wind, while the sun pounded a shine from the hair. Some white ribbons were braided with some selected strands of hair. She had a light brown tank top on, and a small dark green jacket to cover her shoulders. The jacket had two holes at the back, where Naira usually grew out her wings. She was also wearing some cameo shorts colored brown and green. A single metallic bracelet was around her right wrist, shining in the sun. In one of Naira's coat pockets, she had a little mirror, one of the round ones you see girls have when they put on make-up.

Naira glanced up at the random freakish man that came out form nowhere. How odd, where did he come from? Although the curiosity was immediately forgotten when Naira heard his strange and apparently rude comments. Naira ignored it, it was just some weirdo, but she couldn't ignore the zodiac signs the the man performed. The last thing she needed was to fall for some genjutsu or something. Nothing unusual happened yet, but Naira figured there wasn't any drawback to incapacitating him.

Naira would first look back at her journal, and doodle a squiggly line. While doing so, she would take a deep breath in. She would then turn slowly at the man, and exhale, releasing an arrow made of wind towards him. It was aimed right at the center of his chest, to pierce and possibly kill him. Hopefully he just stayed in place to be hit, and Naira could just return to her boring and lazy day.

Naira just shook her head, so she would have to fight him after all. She put her little journal and pencil on the ground to her right, and got up to a crouching position. She would perform a couple hand signs as the man strolled forward. As he got closer, almost at sword swinging range, white angel wings would erupt from Naira's back, poking through the holes in her jacket. As he swung the sword at her, she instinctively jumped upwards, using a launch-type Tsubasa technique to quickly jump into the air. Naira figured the man couldn't fly, but hey, he was strange enough, flying wouldn't make him that much freakier. If undisturbed, she would launch to a height of about seven meters above ground.

Was he, seriously going to throw pebbles at her? Naira could only question the action of picking up some rocks from the ground as she flew upwards. She wasn't sure if she should be worried, or just fly away and leave him to throw rocks at her in vain. She continued to fly in her general direction. However, when the pebbles were actually thrown, they were no where near as weak and she expected. Thrown hard enough to pierce, Naira would collide with the cloud of pebbles, her wings mostly hit by the piercing attack, and she slowly began to fall both due to the surprise pain and now inability to fly efficiently.

Surprised, but not unaware, Naira would aim to fall towards the river, and she performed hand signs while doing so. After splashing into the river, the hand signs would be complete, and as soon as Naira regained her ground she would stick her hand out over the water. Her kaishin ice creation would provide the ice, and with the ice prison jutsu a wall of ice about four meters thick, and slightly over five meters wide, about two and a half meters across both sides of Naira. The ice was also slightly slanted, the bottom closer to the enemy and the top closer to Naira. That way any more bullet pebbles would bounce off the shield up and over Naira.

[Nira]

The man didn't seem to retaliate against the ice shield. That, or he just didn't want to reply with his pebble bullets yet. In that case, Naira had a chance to improve upon her shield. She performed the same hand signs as before, and place her hand on the ice shield. The water around Naira would once again be used with Naira's ice creation and enforced with her Kuri Buki in order to form a more absolute ice prison defense. The ice prison would form a complete circle around Naira, all four meters thick in metal-hard ice, protecting her completely in the horizontal axis. Then, after that, the ice shield would also cover her in the vertical axis by rising up in the same angle and forming a tip right over Naira's head.

Basically, Naira formed a cone around her made of ice that was four meters thick in every direction. The water in the moist ground under Naira would be frozen as well, but only to a single meter, since an attack from the bottom was less likely. The cone was about eight meters high, and it was at least four meters of ice from every angle except the bottom. It was a low rank jutsu, but with all of Naira's Kaishin defense reinforcements it was more of a high rank defense. Plus inside she was still given a large four meter radius and four meters high area to move around. There was still water inside the cone though, since it would be inconvenient to freeze the water she stood in.

The defense for meant for physical attacks, Naira didn't predict any ninjutsu, much less raiton ninjutsu. Although the ice made it inconvenient to see the outside world clearly, the flash from the high rank raiton jutsu was still noticed. Naira had no idea it was a gigantic lightning bolt, since she was facing the direction of the enemy. However, she could pretty much figure out it was Raiton jutsu after the shock to follow.

The lightning that conducted through the waters of the river would reach Naira's gigantic cone. However, given that ice didn't conduct electricity well, and given how thick and strong the ice was, it would lose the almost fatal charge. However, the little fraction of the fatal charge that was conducted still managed to conduct right into the large pool of water that Naira was standing in, amplifying again to shock Naira. She might have been partially paralyzed due to being immersed in water and being of a petite size, but thankfully her brawler elemental resistance capabilities reduced the severity of the shock. It was more of a strong numbing feeling that prevented her from moving even more in the water, but it didn't paralyze.

The blackout was annoying, Naira was already barely able to see out of her defense. The little shocks from afterwards were annoying as well, but they were only little shocks given they had to bypass the ice and into the pool of water like the lightning. The raiton particles would not have been able to enter the enclosed space of the cone, so Naira was safe from a direct jutsu shock.

However, in the given predicament, Naira could not counterattack, since she could not see the enemy nor launch any long range attack outside her cone. High rank ninjutsu would be hard to pull off with the annoying shocks that seemed to come every two seconds. Regardless, Naira had to try, so with a strategy in mind, she began performing hand signs again...

[Nira]

Naira was still in the middle of creating hand signs, but it turned out to be pointless. Naira couldn't see, but her second sense screamed at her about the approaching brute force. It looked like Ninjutsu was out of the question, he was coming in. Naira wasn't aware that the freak could break into her ice cone defense with just brute strength alone, but it looked it would have to be infighting after all. Naira would have to be careful, she was small and brittle in comparison to the bulky freak show. She had to take some unfortunate risks, she had to rage. Give all intelligence away to emotions, leave everything on faulty judgement and instinct.

Naira's chakra flared just moments before the enemy broke in her cone. Her raw strength would double, her speed matching a master of taijutsu in her same class. Her very endurance to physical attacks doubling as well. All intelligence lost, Naira was unable to perform any more ninjutsu. She the ice wall broke under the power of the enemy, Naira would be engulfed in literal fires created from her rage, the entire cone filling with flames and steam. She was able to see him, if just for a second, before darkness started to fill the empty space.

Naira would quickly punch forward, a fire bomb send flying infused with the flames of Naira's Enkai. It would probably be sent at the same time the enemy blocked the entrance with the sword. Depending on how long that took, if the fire bomb reached him in time, it would certainly damage him with it's capability of blowing up rock. In he already used his instantaneous movement to get behind Naira, he would end up teleporting right in the middle of her flames, his clones and very skin would begin to burn.

Although instant and hidden by the raiton, and although Naira was receiving shocks, Naira was still able to detect the instant movement with her second sense yelling at her. It was behind, that was the yell, the enemy was behind. Naira would not halt the Enkai, everything would continue to be engulfed in flames, hopefully the fire would be enough for the enemy to retreat, but if he continued and grabbed both Naira's neck and left hand, Naira's right arm and legs would still be free.

If that scenario would occur, Naira's instinctive reaction would be to continue releasing fire chakra, and send more flames into the face of the enemy. Naira's left leg would release flames while still partially covered in water, causing steam to form and start rising upward. She would kick the leg back, and once her leg left the water an arch of flames would release right behind Naira. In the enemy would not let go the entire space between his thighs would be engulfed in the arch of flames, with enough heat to cause plenty of severe burns. At about the same time as Naira's left leg attack, her right arm would also punch backwards, and upon reaching the end of the punch a second fire bomb would release, close range. If the enemy did not dodge that, he would probably get hit at either the stomach or surrounding area with a powerful three meter explosion.

All the while Naira would have kept the enkai going over and over, so the enemy would stay engulfed in constant fire that would eventually burn through that thick skin of his. The close range explosion from Naira's right fist would no doubt hit her as well, but with her fire release mastery stacked upon the brawler mastery and rage endurance, she would feel far less of the explosion than the enemy. If the body of the enemy was able to withstand explosions strong enough to break rocks, and slammed Naira into the metallic ice wall, she could not avoid that.

However, given the rage's affects of increasing Naira's blunt damage endurance, Naira wouldn't be as dazed as she normally would be. And her bones would be more protected from fracture. However, if her small body was indeed smashed at the metallic ice enough to crack it, two ribs would probably break given Naira's bones were hollowed out from her capabilities of a Tsubasa. The force would still not be enough to knock Naira out, and so long as her rage remained her Enkai would continue to burn the enemy in the flames.

It turned out the fires were enough to stop the enemy. However, being unable to see under the effects of the lingering raiton jutsu, she could only hear the inner scream of her second sense at the impending danger. It was something that would fill the entire cone, something she could not escape. The second sense could only yell for her to get the heck out of her empty space. Naira could only turn her back on the enemy, flames still in the air, and begin a close bull rush as the scream filled the entire space with pure force.

Naira was already pushed forward with the force scream, so she just had to position her body in the form of a close bull rush and just blast through her ice wall. The already high powered bull rush combined with the raw power increase of the rage would be enough to blast out of the ice cone, and the blunt damage resistance would prevent bodily damage. The force scream itself would continue to send Naira flying of course, and since Naira would have blasted through the ice cone, she was thrown pretty much the full distance of the force scream.

In fact, since Naira was light and had wings to capture more of the force scream, she technically was blown farther, ending up almost thirty meters from the ruins of her ice cone. She ended up on the opposing side of the river, in a pretty rocky space with some ice chunks nearby. Since the user, the enemy, was also blown back, Naira was even farther from him. However, that didn't seem to relieve Naira from danger. Her second sense once again yelled at her from back away, even though she was lying slightly on the floor. It didn't want her to move too far back, so Naira just send a fire bomb in the ground in front of her, and was blasted back a small distance from that.

It would be a slightly greater distance than the range of the cones of death, so Naira would be able to stand up without interruption. That done, she made a fist and stuck out her index and middle fingers, pointing them at the general direction that the Second Sense had her retreat from. She would then proceed to fire small bullets of fire the size of her two fingers in the general direction of the enemy in a large spray-like pattern. The fireballs would move as fast as a crossbow bolt, and it would shower the area in front. She was hoping to weaken him by the burns at random chance...

[OOC: Alright. I’m done fuckin’ playing with you. You’re dead. Whatever.]

[/I][/b] Five times, no eight, no ten. He was well outside the area of effect from his Particle Storm Mist, outside the effect of the raining fire, behind the girl and off to her right. He could see her now, his black eyes filled with hate and death, his soul gone amidst a rage of flame. His feet would touch the shore, he was ten meters away, and his fist would collide with the earth. The girl could not fly, the earth would shake violently, pillars of rock rising in this forest as the river was demolished and warped. Leaping from pillar to pillar, he launched a cone of force with each chakra fused jump, landing on the sides of each pillar. Those struck would explode from the force, shards of rock flying in all directions, and the girl would be off balanced from the shaking earlier; regardless of her strange sixth sense for danger.

Four cones of force had been launched, unstoppable in their sheer force, and if she were struck death would surely come. Still Seii closed the distance between them, even if she tried to run, he would be after her, if she attacked he would see it and act accordingly. Their distance would be a measly three meters when he was close, standing horizontally upon a pillar side, glaring at her with opened black orbs. Full Blade would dig into the rock, yet it did not break, not yet at least. If she was still alive, she would be dead very soon. So very soon.[/ul][/font]
