Xin Tanaka vs Alex of the Shey

[The Vineyard]

Alex would enter with his puppet Juan as he graciously bowed. "Hello dear sir, I am the Burattanio del Sabbia (Puppeteer of the sand) and I wish to assisst you in your fighting skill." He smiled as he used his puppet strings on his puppet lifting up the wooden man, "Let me introduce to you mmy partner named Juan." Alex used his chakra strings to have the puppet bow to you as well. We stood 35 meters away as we graced ourselves into the area. "May I cause you to have a fun expirence."

Kugutsu no Jutsu, ˜ø™S‚̏p (Puppet Technique) [Learned X3]
Rank: "D" ; "C" ; "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: The Ability where the user controls a puppet with strings of chakra. The puppet is capable of attacking an opponent with any weapons hidden inside of it. This technique is effective from long distances since the chakra strings can extend; they are also invisible, so the puppet can be used from a hidden location.
Special: Must be a Puppeteer
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times in order for the distance to increase. The more objects or Puppets used, the distance decreases, this means that if you have two puppets with a hundred meters of distance each puppet can go at a maximum of fifty meters each.
Description: The user is capable of controlling a puppet depending on the distance of the puppet. If the puppet surpasses a certain distance then the chakra strings simply disconnect leaving the puppet down along the floor. The Chakra strings can not be seen by regular eyes but those who have the capability of seeing chakra can truly notice such a technique. When first learned the technique allows the user a maximum of ten meters of distance. After each time learned the user can increase the distance of Ten Meters. When the user reaches up to a hundred meters then it is harder for a user to gain more distance so the training would go up to a C Rank training as the distance increases Ten Meters every time learned. After three hundred Meters, then the training becomes more difficult once more as the training ranks up to B Rank, at this moment the distance is unlimited.
Limit: Must be known multiple times.

Xin rose to his feet and returned the bow to the ninja alex that stood before him. "Nice little toy you got there, i'm pretty sure it will provide some entertainment." Xin said smiling. Xin drew his sword from it's sheath on his back. "Let's make this fun." He said motioning for his opponent "Alex", to make the first move, as he took a defensive stance.

Alex smiled as he rushed forward, "Timing has to be perfect Juan," He would say this to his puppet as he ran with the puppet just behind him till he was within range. He slid to a stop but his puppet still rushed forward with speed. Drawing an arm up the puppet would relese two senbon as Alex used "Ningyoumawashi no jutsu (Puppet Operator Technique)" to guide them like heat sensor rockets while also increasing their velocity. He was down to three more chakra strings that he used to encircle your sword's blade to slow it down if you planned on using it to block. The technique he used for this was "Isshi no Otoshina (String Entrapment)". "You can not escape my puppet you fool!" He yelled as he hopefully landed the two senbon in the proposed target of the forarm or, if missing that, the side of his opponent.

Ningyoumawashi no jutsu (Puppet Operator Technique)
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: This technique allows the puppeteer to use chakra strings to move objects such as rocks, and other inanimate objects. Can be quite useful for triggering traps and switches without getting caught
Special: Surge of chakra through chakra strings
Drawback: Strings can be seen by people with the ability to see chakra. If object is too heavy, strings may snap.
Description: The puppeteer activates their chakra strings and aim them at the object they want to move. The chakra strings then stick to the object, allowing the puppeteer to pull on them, making the object move. The heavier the object, the more chakra is used through chakra strings.
Limit: Must be a puppeteer. Can only move objects as far as the puppeteer is able to control their puppet (Puppet Technique)

Isshi no Otoshina (String Entrapment)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique uses chakra strings to trip, bind, or otherwise interfere with the movement of an opponent. Instead of attaching the chakra strings to a puppet, the user can attach them to any other object, including their opponent, to restrict movement or buy time for an escape. Another simple description is that the user simply creates the chakra strings anywhere he wants in order to create traps for people to trip in. One can even simply wrap the chakra strings to his or her unsuspecting opponents and make them trip right away
Special: Must be a Puppeteer
Drawback: When using multiple strings for multiple objects the string distance is divided by how many objects you wish to gather. This means that if you wish to grasp ten objects, or people and you have only one hundred meters of distance, then you can only grab the people or objects if they are within ten meters from the person.

Xin's opponent began to charge toward him as he shouted"You can not escape my puppet you fool!" Xin smiled and charged himself saying"Wasn't planning on it!" His opponent sent his puppet in front as he slid to a halt. The puppet sent two senbon hurling at Xin, while the puppet master took control of his sword's blade."Heh, tricky bastard" Xin said under his breath.

He let go of his sword and began to quickly perform handseals as he built up chakra. Quickly he let the chakra explode out around him in a sphere of flame that reflected the senbons off and away as they hit the ground 9 meters away. Quickly afterward Xin pulled a kunai out of his leg holder and attempted to swipe at the chakra strings which held his sword, reaching for a shuriken in his butt bag ready to throw it if he would miss.

Katon Kyuuka (Fire - Flame Sphere Technique) (Technique 1/5)
Rank: "C" "B" "A" "Sh Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Defensive technique to where the user concentrates on the chakra within their body. The user pushes the chakra out as they use the body heat within their very body to create a sphere of flaming heat all around the user in a grand radius. Depending on how well the user knows this technique is dependent on the distance, this technique can be used.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: If the user is capable of performing this technique twice in a battle or twice within every ten rounds, the user will collapse with fatigue and high temperature.
Description: This technique is used as a defensive style technique. The user concentrates on the chakra within their body and exerts out in a large blast. The chakra is pushed out in a blazing flame and creates a large amount of heat to be used as a defensive technique. The technique pushes or removes anything around the user, to allow the user an amount of space needed. When first learned the technique is capable of being pushed in a five-meter radius. Each Rank learned the technique increases in distance by ten meters. This would be the basis for all NinJutsu Specialists. However if the user is a Non NinJutsu Specialist the distance only increases by five meters. If the user is a NinJutsu Master, the distance increases by fifteen meters.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Kunai (Overview) (Kunai x3)
Rank: "C" Rank
Type: Secondary, 2 per Slot, Combative, Projectile/Melee, Knife
Effect: A digging tool, a bit like a trowel. The blade was soft iron and unsharpened because the edges were used to smash plaster and wood, to dig holes and to pry. Also used as a knife.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The kunai is conventionally wrought in ranges from 6 to 8 inches, with the average at 7 inches. The kunai was used by common folk as multi-purpose gardening tools and by workers of stone and masonry. The kunai is not a knife, but something more akin to a crowbar. The blade was soft iron and unsharpened because the edges were used to smash plaster and wood, to dig holes and to pry. Normally only the tip would have been sharpened. The uses to which a kunai was put would have destroyed any heat-treated and sharpened tool like a knife. There could be multiple kinds of kunais such as handless ones, or even double sided kunais as long as they are within the same length.
Limit: These types of items may be capable of being bought inside any Weapon Shop.
Cost: 1,000 Ryo per Slot, or 500 Ryo Each.

Alex grins, "You're swiping at nothing." Alex retracted his strings still holding the sword as his puppet grabbed the sword. "Want to know what is more dangerous than a senbon puppet? A puppet that can use a sword." Alex jumped up in the air high enough to land in one of the few trees in the area as he used his puppet to swing his blade at you repetitivly. And thanks to the great skill of this puppet master he used the chakra strings to enhance the speed of the blade. Alex would jump off the tree once his puppet hit twenty five meters since his limit was thirty. Alex would while doing this perform five handseals then holding onto a single one as wind chakra focused around him.

Alex used his puppet to swing your own blade with his extension arm as the arm would extend farther than the average arm as Alex used his puppet to try and draw you closer. While holding the handsign Alex used his chakra strings to try and ensnare your leg after grappling the shurikan you threw. Alex smiled, "Your death is inevitable lone leaf genin." Alex would, if the ensnarement on your leg worked in which if it did you would trip, Alex would perform "Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)" allowing the wind around him as he raised up a single hand become twenty senbon needles racing towards your vitals. Due to them almost being invisible where as his chakra strings are invisible (unless your had the byakugan) these moves would be hard to dodge.

Extending limbs
Rank: Genin and up
Type: Puppet weapons. 1 slot per size, which is for one limb
Effect: The puppets limbs can stretch and elongate more then they normally would.
Special: Can be placed on any limbs of the puppet. Including the head.
Drawback: If improperly used, the limb can be chopped off by the opponent. Grade material effects the de-limbing as well. The size of a puppet also plays a major role. Larger puppets (B-ranked and up) might have difficulty with control. A large limb is heavier, less mobile and more costly, thus the reason for the difficulty.
Description: The puppets limbs are specially designed. Additional material and joints are used to lengthen the puppets limbs. This allows the puppet to stretch the chosen limb up to three to four times it original length, but seemingly return to it to its original form with ease. The limbs do not have to move in just a straight line, and can curve at the users will
Limit: Must be a puppeteer.
Cost: 150 Ryo per size until "B-ranked", then an additional 50 Ryo is added

Isshi no Otoshina (String Entrapment)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: This technique uses chakra strings to trip, bind, or otherwise interfere with the movement of an opponent. Instead of attaching the chakra strings to a puppet, the user can attach them to any other object, including their opponent, to restrict movement or buy time for an escape. Another simple description is that the user simply creates the chakra strings anywhere he wants in order to create traps for people to trip in. One can even simply wrap the chakra strings to his or her unsuspecting opponents and make them trip right away
Special: Must be a Puppeteer
Drawback: When using multiple strings for multiple objects the string distance is divided by how many objects you wish to gather. This means that if you wish to grasp ten objects, or people and you have only one hundred meters of distance, then you can only grab the people or objects if they are within ten meters from the person.

Fuuton Kaze no Senbon (Needles of the Wind)
Rank: "D"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: User hurls a mixture of senbon needles in the form of wind to cut into the opponent.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The ninja gathers air with his hands and mixes it with chakra, by doing this he transforms them into sharp and deadly needles. The needles are almost invisible so it is hard for the enemies to see them. This technique may be blocked by large objects, however something small such as a sword, or a staff will allow the needles to seperate still moving towards the object it was originally sent to. Not a powerful technique as the user is capable of hurling up to ten senbon wind needles that gives out minor cuts. However this could be used as a more of a set up technique to allow the user to perform a more dangerous technique.
Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[Xin Tanaka]

Xin dashed towards the puppet as the ninja taunted him, using his speed he managed to dodge mos of the slashes from the puppet swinging with his own sword. Still running Xin pivoted on his heel and hit a backflip aiming to kick the puppet in the chin with his right leg. If he were to dodge then he would land and kick the puppet in the torso sending him into the air. While he was in the air he began to do the handseals Rat, Ram and then Tiger and began to build up chakra in his fingertips ready to send a fireball straight for the puppet master.

[The Vineyard]

(OOC: what happened to the senbon wind technique? and the entrapment? did they work? did they not? please explain. )

[Xin Tanaka]

(OOC: Sorry bout that, i didn't see that you had sent the senbon towards me. But about the entrapment I had already moved before then so i thought that by the time you had tried that i would be moving, [possibly in the air for the backflip] because of my speed as a taijutsu speacialist. I'll rewrite to accomadate to hiccups, unless theres anything you disagree with.)

[The Vineyard]

(ooc: shakra strings can levitate so long as they have a target. If they did indeed miss then also include wheathor by coincidence or not how they missed. That is all that I see that is wrong aside from the senbon.)

[Xin Tanaka]

Xin dashed towards the puppet as the ninja taunted him, using his speed he managed to dodge most of the slashes from the puppet swinging with his own sword.While running the puppet master sent chakra strings toward him which missed as Xin jumped over to the side. While running Xin was hit in the right side of his chest and his stomach by two senbon. Four others hit his biceps and thighs.One of the others shot through his right lung. The pain slowed him down and made his body tremble be he kept going towards the puppet. Still running Xin pivoted on his heel and hit a backflip aiming to kick the puppet in the chin with his right leg. If he were to dodge then he would land and kick the puppet in the torso sending him into the air. While he was in the air he began to do the handseals Rat, Ram and then Tiger and began to build up chakra in his fingertips ready to send a fireball straight for the puppet master.

(OOC: Rewrote it to make up for the things that i missed, if anything seems amiss tell me)

Fire Style: Fire Bolt Technique
Rank: D
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Shoots a very small ball of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, towards a target.
Special: Rat, Ram, Tiger, extension of one hand
Drawback: When the seals are over, the user extends their hands, shooting the ball of fire from their fingertips, which after repeated use (3 or more times), causes singeing which can slow down the speed of which a user can perform handseals or other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals, converting chakra within the hands into heat energy. The hands are then pointed towards a target and a small bolt of fire, no larger than a foot in diameter, leaves the hand and flies rapidly towards the opponent.
Limit: Fire Release

[The Vineyard]

Alex smiled as the needles penetrated the lungs, side, and legs. "You truly are a fool." Alex would looked calm in the mist of worry for his puppet that he would now believe as the true sacrifice though the puppet was never really actually alive. "Time to die though," Alex swung an arm around as he yelled, "For those of the Shey I will seek blood!" The puppet above you would release more senbon as it was suspended in air. It released the final eight senbon as Alex used four of his chakra strings to increase the speed of them as he knew they would be to silent for you to notice them. They would sour strait down except for the four that Alex controled. The four Alex controlled would aim for your heart, left lung, and the last two aimed for one of your arms. Even if the missed they would recoil to soar backwards to hit their targets.

[Xin Tanaka]

Xin smiled "I'm not ready to die just yet!"
Instead of aiming the fireball at the puppet master he aimed straight above at the puppet in the air. The fireball surged upward from Xin's outstrecthed hand and scattered the senbons that Xin could not see and headed straight for his puppet "Juan". At the same time Xin reached into his leg pocket for another kunai and charged towards the puppet master with the kunai in one hand. As he ran he dug into his butt bag with his free hand and grabbed five shuriken which he threw in front of him aimed for the chest, arms and legs of the puppet master.

[The Vineyard]

Alex grinned as he retracted his puppet strings on the puppet but knowing that it'd be to slow for it to occur as a diversion he used the puppet to throw the sword to Alex and he used his abilities as a puppetear to reflect the shurikan that were thrown as he operated them to reflect back at you. Alex would then have the puppet, which only had part of its left arm charred, to be beside Alex as he grabbed the sword. He put the hilt into his mouth as he performed the necessary handseals till he was ready to perform the wind style senbon needle jutsu again.

He jumped up aiming the thrown twenty needles at your vitals again as his puppet would go underneath the master as he prepared for the release of more energy. His puppet would be his defense as Alex took the sword out of his mouth to then hold one arm up to release the twenty senbon at the charging opponent. Of couse they were made of wind chakra and again they were near invisible as they raced toward the all too slow opponent. "You're too slow!"

[Xin Tanaka]

As Xin ran towards the the puppet master he saw that the shuriken were sent back to him as they were deflected off of his own sword in the hand of the puppet master. He knew he was taking a risk but it was all that he could do in this situation he quickly performed some handseals as he gathered cakra into his body and released it creating a sphere of flames like before which sent the shurikens back at the puppet master along with the wind senbon that Xin was unaware of. Once the flames extinguished Xin went down to one knee. His body burned from using the technique twice in such a short amount of time. His limbs ached from the senbons and the technique he just used. "It seems as if i'm not lasting much longer." Xin said to himself. He his last kunai from his pocket as he placed the other in his mouth. He took out his last shuriken and threw it at the puppet master aimed straight for his heart. At the same time he ran, this time much slower with kunais in both hands.

[The Vineyard]

Alex used his puppet to take all the wind damage and the shurikans. He was weakened from the extensive use of his jutsu as he glared. "Your time is up boy," Alex yelled with anguish as he set his puppet back down and charged at you alon with your sword as he slashed at you once close enough after using his ensnarment jutsu chakra stings would slow all your limb's relexes as you would hopefully die with your own sword. "Now die... Or suffer from your lung that is now about to burst from all the blood flooding it."

[Xin Tanaka]

As the puppet master charged at him Xin slashed wildly with his right hand which would in turn recieve a blow from his sword which the puppet master wielded. He screamed as the pain shot through his arm." I should've hit him he thought, how did he..." Xin noticed the chakra threads that came from the puppet master's hand. He realized he was slowing him down. With this knowledge Xin knew he needed to get desperated. Time was running out, so he tried to slash with the kunai in his left hand. But even if it hit it would only cause a minor wound. Xin's arms were weak from the lack of oxygen coming from his wounded lung.

[The Vineyard]

Alex would duck low as he said, "Time is up my dear friend... I hope to see you in the afterlife some day." Alex would feel the minor cut from the left hand across the ear as it bled. Alex decided to stop your suffering as he attempted to plunge your very blade inside your solorplex. "I'm sorry but it is what had to be done my friend."

(OOC: with your approval on death this thread will be done.)

[Xin Tanaka]

(OOC: I approve the death)

Xin fell to the ground as the wound from the sword bled out over the ground. He shook as he body went cold. He knew his time was up and he had been defeated by this puppet master. Blood stained his clothes as well as most of his face." It was a pleasure." Xin said with a faint smile. With that he closed his eyes a faded into a different place.
