Caved In V.2 [Closed]

[atem.]

. : C A V E D | I N : .

Location: Excavation Cave
Description: A beautiful and vast excavation cave located in the outskirts of Tsuchi no Kumi. The arena itself is stupendously large, expanding greatly in various directions so far that no combatant is capable of being cornered. Sedimentary structures hang lifelessly from the ceiling, with a small opening in the center so that light may illuminate the area. Aside from the occasional boulders lying about, the basic floor area is smooth and open for combat.
IIC: 1 Day.
Rules: No attacking on the first post. Must follow site rules on battling, meaning you must identify all items and weapons you wish to have with you in the first post. Anything not mentioned in the first post afterwards is unacceptable.

The tunnels shook from the excitement that exuberated from the child's bowels, instantly grasping the attention of any creature that lurked there. The Blue Otter had never gone hunting in caves before, but the natural instinct of it never deterred from his childhood years. Countering the fierce battle-cry with a sweet, pleasent sigh, Toshiro took a knee to the ground, lightly rubbing the earth with his palm as he examined it's condition. The air around him was cool, yet serene, but the earth below him displayed otherwise. Strangely, he felt he could sense the warmth of a being that once stood there in that very spot, but this was merely assumption. Taking a brief scan around him, the Kudo noticed the vast array of entrances that led to his location, and knew what he sook could be anywhere. However, this undeniable disavantage would not discourage him. Ecstatic, Toshiro hopped back to his feet. With nothing but his basic clothes and his witty charm equipped, this day would be adventurous.

[Zibishi Storm]

With nothing but a small scroll which was actually his halbred on his person Zibishi strolled into the marvelous cave. His shirt was already off his person and only his baggy navy panys and the site of training tape covered his young body. He began doing some pre-match stretching as his light blue eyes scanned for his opponents, while analyzing his surrounding. Using his technique would be slightly difficult in this environment, but he shook off any concerns as he grinned and stepped forward, about 8 meters from his opponent, he wondered if he should have introduced himself, but decided against it.

[atem.]

[/color][/size][/font][/ul]
The keen senses of the Hozuki prodigy caught the distinct tapping early, but the boy's distressed reaction would contradict this. Spinning rapidly to meet this strange encounter, Toshiro would raise an eyebrow and half-grin as he witnessed the near-naked specimen.

"W-Who are you.....and why are you.....shirtless....."

Puzzlement stunned Toshiro for a few seconds, but like a lightning bolt, the thought of why he traveled there returned to him. Scratching his head in discomfort, Toshiro chuckled lightly, as his liquidous chakra system began to stir rapidly. 

"Hehehe, well, whatever the reason, I didn't come here to find 'The Shirtless Man', I came to have some fun!"

Near instantly, Toshiro's face withdrew to a fierce sign of competitiveness, as his once sky blue eyes became dark as the deep blue sea. Adrenaline running wild, the Blue Otter jumped a few meters backwards, away from the other boy, drawing a larger distance as he performed a few handseals simultaneously. Once he had reached a defined 15 meters away, hesitation became unacceptable, as six pockets of water began to shape from both sides of him, each growing instantaneously into the shape of their creator. Perfect replicas of the Hozuki child, Toshiro fell back onto his bottom as he pointed towards the unknown enemy. Four of the Water Clones ran forward, two from each side, at a constant steady pace towards the boy, while two remained behind to protect the Water Boy. The kid would chuckle wildly, unable to contain his excitement.

4/4 Movements Used

Transitional Membrane "C"
Oxyhydro Comversion Technique
Water Clone x6

Atsui Usumaku (Transitional Membrane)
Rank: D, C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: The user is capable of controlling the thickness of their transitional membrane. This technique is mandatory for all under the Hozuki bloodlimit. This is because it grants them their survival in battles and harsh weather conditions.
Special: ---
Drawback: Switching from ranks that are not next to each other takes 1 post (You cannot instantly switch from D rank thickness to B rank.). One can only switch their rank up or down one time per post.
Description: During training, the user is capable of adjusting and altering their internal water pressure in their bodies. Doing so results in an increased density of their outer membrane. Chakra released from their nuclei protrusions allows water to be pressurized in a certain way underneath their transitional membrane thus resulting in the thickening and solidification of their skin. In order to switch from a higher rank of thickness to a lower, the user must decrease the amount of chakra released from their nuclei protrusions. Also, the user leaves their palms and the soles of their feet remain permeable (D ranked), thus allowing the usage of the water inside of them no matter what rank their in

D ranked: Very thin and moist layer of skin. This is the default layer of skin the Hozuki are normally in. Under this rank, the skin is most permeable, meaning they are able to absorb large amounts of water. Although they feel no physical pain, ninjutsu and genjutsu based attacks can affect them. Also, this skin is not suggested for harsh weather conditions. Exceedingly hot or cold weather can evaporate them or freeze them easily..

C ranked: Under this rank, the transitional membrane is a similar thickness to that of the human skin. Can withstand any kind of weather conditions a human could. Since skin is more solidified, physical assaults on a Hozuki are more effective.

B ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies is pressurized by chakra to the point in which it resembles a rock like thickness and texture. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using (a D rank punch gets an extra E rank damage added on). Speed is decreased by half a movement.

A ranked: Under this rank, the water within their bodies are at the highest point of pressurization in which resembles a metal like thickness and texutre. An Hozuki under this rank becomes stronger when landing physical attacks by half the rank of the attack they are using. Speed is decreased by a full movement. Limbs are less prone to breaking. This state can only last for 3 posts before going back to D ranked thickness because it consumes a large amount of chakra.

Limit: Must belong to the Hozuki Bloodlimit, No slots are used up. Every Hozuki member begins with the D ranked version of this technique and work their way up.

Suiton: Oxyhydro Conversion Technique
Rank: "B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Converts oxygen and hydrogen in the air into water.
Special: Automatic when performing a water jutsu.
Drawback: It is easy to exceed your chakra level when creating large amounts of chakra- the amount of water needed will automatically be created when you cast a water jutsu when you are not around a water source. Therefore, if you cast a technique and you do not have enough chakra to cast both the technique and create the amount of water necessary, user is incapable of making the technique work.
Description: After spending a large amount of time utilizing water techniques, the Water Shinobi begins to understand the true composition of water. They use this to such an effect that they can create water out of nothing. This is automatic when casting a water jutsu and there is no water source. Be honorable when creating techniques. A small bottle of Water does not have enough substance to create a clone.
Limit: Must have 500 training points into techniques that focus only on Suiton no Jutsu. Once you have obtained 500 training points in Suiton techniques, they gain this technique automatically.

Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu (Water Clone) [x2] [Six Clones]
Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Mizu Bunshin no Jutsu is a Ninjutsu technique that utilizes water to create a Bunshin clone. Unlike a normal Bunshin, the Mizu Bunshin has the ability to interact more with the environment due to it having physical substance. This allows the clone to carry out limited attacks on its target. The range of the clone is limited; however, it can not travel very far from the original body. If the Mizu Bunshin is injured, the clone will usually revert back into its natural water state. When first learned the user is capable of having or capable of creating up to Five Clones. Each time learned the user learns this technique the number of Clones is capable of increasing by one. The maximum amount of clones is Ten for the Difficulty Class of D Rank. For each Difficulty Rank Increase the number increases by five of maximum but learning is still one per learned.
Limit: Water Release

[Zibishi Storm]

Zibishi raised an eyebrow at the boy's erratic behaivor at first and watched slowly as he formed his handseals and the waters began forming. He was taken aback as he grabbed his halbred and deployed it's 3.5 foot long body. He quickly flipped it and stabbed it into the ground and began forming his own set of handseals. His eyes began shifting quickly, first beginning the slow deliberate motions of a whirlpool, his irises developed their lightning streaks, and the veins around his eyes tensed, but his transformation was yet to be completed. He formed the last handseal and his eyes underwent their next sage.

His pupils which now resembled whirlpools turned into a deep ocean blue, the lightning streaks began vanishing then reappearing, and the whites of his eyes also began swirling around as the transformation was complete. The clones were almost upon him and Zibishi quickly grabbed his halbred and sped towards his right heading towards the first group of clones as his eyes read perfectly through the Bunshins.

Weathering Eye [ Fuukamanako.]
Rank: "C"
Skill: Doujutsu
Effect: The user is able to see the elements of Water, Wind and lightning as strands of Chakra in their natural Line of Sight up to the range of thirty meters. The user can determine the differences between the three, see its flow, perceive its concentration and recognize disturbances within these elements. It also allows them to see people by the flow of Water and Lightning within them naturally, clearly discerning them from objects and tangible, corporeal bunshins. Finally, with activation of the doujutsu the user no longer has to activate the Suiton Kiero to utilize the clans techniques. [ Must still activate the remaining other two Kiero's to utlize techniques.]
Special: Kekkai Genkai
Drawback: Cannot pierce the flow of chakra in genjutsu, thus, genjutsu cannot be negated. Requires a negligible amount of chakra to activate and maintain.
Description: The Kekkai Genkai manifests itself as being activated by a serious change to the eyes ; the users pupils turns an ocean blue, swirling like a whirlpool; the iris develops random blue-white lines that appear and disappear like lightning ; the whites of the eye start orbiting the iris and pupil, almost like clouds.
Limits: Must be part of the Sansutomu Bloodlimit ; Must know Suiton, Fuuton and Raiton Kiero.

The commands traveled as they reached the nonexistant minds of the Water Clones, who had kept focus on the movement of the shirtless boy, countering with their own. Toshiro continued chuckling nonchalant, as the guarding set of clones remained rigid, ready to protect their master. Toshiro observed the warrior carefully, keeping an eye on the movements of the man and his clones alike.  

"Handseals, but nothing happened.....nothing I can see, that is. I better keep my guard up....."

As the conversation within his mind halted, Toshiro allowed his chakra to build rapidly once again, as he grabbed the leg of the guard clones before him. Each hand grasping a leg firmly, a quick transfer of chakra invisible to the normal eye emitted from the young boy into each minion, a "B-Rank" worth each to be precise, empowering their originally miniature composition further. Returning to his relaxed state, Toshiro calmed his chakra as he continued to praise his minions from afar.

As the distant clones heard the roaring command, the space between them and the enemy came to an abrupt close, with no choice except to attack left to choose. Only 5 meters away, one clone halted, as it took an unexpected leap into the air towards the foe. The remaining three would expand to cover the enemy's path from the left, right, and center. With no weapons or special abilities of use, the simple beings would rely on their fists, all four lunging at the foe with a swift fist strike. The distance had shortened from lengthy to none, and the opponent's reaction would showcase his athletic capabilities to the young Toshiro. Whether or not if the strikes would land would be decided by the shirtless man's response, but if one would land, it would surely inflict some damage.

[Zibishi Storm]

Zibishi's eyes quickly noticed one of the clones leaping into the air and the formationthe remaining clones took blocking off any type of veering manuever. Zibishi grinned and once the distance was about three meters he plunged his halbred into the ground and using his momentum he vaulted over the clone blocking the route directly in front of him. With added stregth he also brought his halbred with him. He was now out of the deadly circle the clones had formed, but he wasn't done yet.

With the clones back exposed to him now Zibishi quickly turned and headed directly for the spinal cord of the man's clone. With one quick thrust he aimed the blade of his halbred towards the clone hoping to destroy it.

Toshiro observed carefully, not truly surprised as he witnessed the warrior swiftly evade his army's assault. A quick flip over the center clone, and the Blue Otter knew exactly how to keep his opponent at bay.

"That staff of his looks scary, I can't let him get close to me..."

Toshiro prepared another batch of chakra, a task common to most Ninjutsu Masters, but this child was not one who desired the mastery of many elements. His specialty remained within the boundaries of Suiton, and he would strive to discover every advantage the element could offer.

Once the boy had landed behind his clone, Toshiro wasted no time, quickly performing a set of handseals. As chaos continued to flow elegantly, the young Toshiro had finished his jutsu preparation, activating his technique as soon as Lefty and Righty decided to attack. Suddenly, the air grew thick with the Hozuki's favorite attribute, H20 molecules spreading rapidly as the sight of each warrior present became blinded. Within seconds, a mist had appeared, the only thing visible to Lefty and Righty being the shirtless man, and normally vice-versa.

The central clone would succeed in serving his purpose, being righfully slayed by the shirtless man's blade. The clone who had ascended into the air would land meters away from the group, tumbling only 5 meters away before recovering and focusing his attention back upon the target. The remaining two, Lefty and Righty, would follow the boy's transition, spinning quickly to witness the demise of their own. However, their life would be spared, and they would not allow the chance to retaliate slip by. Once the slayed clone had dispersed into a liquidous puddle, the two both attempt another swift blow simultaneously, hoping the man could not defend himself in enough time. Upon recovering from the fall, the third, farthest clone would return to his feet, waiting for the next chance to strike as well.

[Zibishi Storm]

Damn how much chakra does this guy have..? Was the thought that echoed in Zibishi's mind as he took a step backward after destroying one of the clones. Zibishi gritted his teeth together as his eyes allowed him to have at least a decent amount of visibility as mist was nothing, but water molecules. He read the thin lines of chakra and spotted the massive amount of matter which obviously were the Bunshins, they rushed him once more, but Zibishi remained calm and jumped backwards avoiding their blows, but he stabbed his Halbred into the ground and began forming his own handseals to even the playing field. He completed the first set of handseals and the sound of lightning cracking above head could be heard by Zibishi and he was sure his opponent. He didn't hesistate and formed another set of seals as the empty cavern became filled with an outright deep, sad moaning as wind blew through slowly, but surely. He completed the seal and grinned and picked up his halbred.

It was a time like this where he wished he had his long range weaponry, but he didn't sweat it and awaited for the next move of the clones.
