Byakuya vs Hoshiro [p]

[hoshiro]

[intro.]

The forests outside the Hidden Sound Village were silent. Perhaps in retrospect, it was because animals were ultra-keen to the sense of danger. The sun was setting in the distance, though the orb was blocked out by the trees all around them. Though it was a forst, the trunks were spread out enough and thin enough that it was the same as fighting in a clearing with light posts sticking out of the ground every once in a while. The teen's Hook blades were drawn in his hands, already expecting danger. The first person to cross his gaze would not only be marked as an enemy, but as his first kill.

God help whoever was so unfortunate as to cross this ninja's path.

[kkira]

I walked into the forest, knowing that trouble was just around the corner. I was on gaurd, and with my top right arm I drew a dart. In my bottom right hand I drew a kunai knife. I then came upon my opponent, his weapons already drawn and ready. He was ten meters away. "Hey," I shouted, "Your my opponent it seems."

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.

Drawback: ---
Description: Hira-shuriken is constructed from thin, flat plates of metal derived from a variety of sources including hishi-gane (coins), and kugi-nuki (carpentry tools), and generally resemble popular conceptions of shuriken. In modern popular culture, these are called "throwing stars" or "ninja stars". They often have a hole in the center and possess a fairly thin blade sharpened only at the tip. The holes derive from their source in items that had holes - old coins, washers, and nail-removing tools. This proved convenient for the shuriken user, as well, as the weapons could be strung on a string or dowel in the belt for transport, and the hole also had aerodynamic and weighting effects that aided the flight of the blade after it was thrown. There is a wide variety of forms of hira-shuriken and they are now usually identified by the number of points the blades possess.

5 Grenade: Mine

Spoiler:

Type: Secondary, 1 per Slot, Combative, Explosive, Grenade
Effect: An explosive device used as a land mine that explodes and harming whoever steps on it.
Special: ---
Drawback: May harm the user if not thrown right.
Description: Picture A typical land mine includes the following components: firing mechanism or other device (including anti-handling devices), detonator or igniter (sets off the booster charge), booster charge (may be attached to the fuse, or the igniter, or be part of the main charge), main charge (in a container, usually forms the body of the mine), casing (contains all of the above parts). A land mine can be triggered by a number of things including pressure, movement, sound, magnetism and vibration. Anti-personnel mines commonly use the pressure of a person's foot as a trigger, but tripwires are also frequently employed. Most modern anti-vehicle mines use a magnetic trigger to enable it to detonate even if the tires or tracks did not touch it. Advanced mines are able to sense the difference between friendly and enemy types of vehicles by way of a built-in signature catalog. This will theoretically enable friendly forces to use the mined area while denying the enemy access. Mines have a killing diameter of 2 meters.

"So it seems."

The words were smooth, but behind them lay a fiery intent that could send a chill down a corpse's back. The ninja wasn't taking this boy seriously who stood before him. A gourd and a spider. Not to mention extra limbs that were obvious to note. There seemed to be something special about this boy. Whatever the explanation for extra limbs, he should watch out for tricks which would quickly become problematic.

"Ready or not..." Hoshiro whispered before quickly covering the distance between them. As a Taijutsu master, his speed was unparalleled by those of his same rank except by those who spent an equal amount of time in training their bodies to cope with the intense speed he was exhibiting for a D-rank ninja. Should his opponent attempt to run, he would see that it would be futile as the distance would be quickly closed. A blade would already be en route to the last known of his opponent's body. His right blade slamming into his opponent on the boy's left side with the dull side of the sword⁽¹⁾. Focused on the sword aiming to strike a blow, Hoshiro's other blade would hook behind his opponent's right foot before pulling back a moment after his first blade swung in⁽²⁾. The action would sever the tendon along the back of the ankle, severing motor capabilities. Instinctive movement backward would also result in a grim wound on the ninja before him. As the tendon of his right foot would be cut, his opponent would be off balance from having lost one of his legs, taking advantage of that fact, Hoshiro would bring a leg up to kick his opponent straight back with a thrusting kick, sending him backward to the ground⁽³⁾.

[kkira]

I watched in horror as my opponent moved with amazing speed toward me. I started to create a sticky spider web. I got hit immediately with the dull end of one of his swords, however, because of my six arms taking the blow in the middle of my middle left arm was no great feat. But the other sword was coming for an attack. Luckily it was on my right side where my kunai was already drawn. Still I saw in my opponents eyes that this would not help. I shot the sticky spider web toward my opponents sword, hoping to catch it before it cut through me, and if it did, to throw off the path of the sword. I could also feel spider brethern of mine climbing up the back of my legs.

His opponent must not have been able to keep up with the movement of the ninja before him. His order had been all wrong. Before his opponent had even realized it, his foot was hooked by the other blade in Hoshiro's hand. The Oto ninja jerked the sword, severing the ligament of his right foot before kicking the boy to the ground with his own right foot. Blood would wet the fallen leaves as his opponent lay still, perhaps dazed by a flood of pain he hadn't yet registered. The approach was slow for the Oto ninja who was rather disappointed by the display of power on his opponent's part.

"Pity," he cooed down to his bleeding victim, the hooks of his swords cradling the boy's neck from both sides as a pair of scissors. "is not one of my redeeming qualities." A foot connected with the boy's face rendering him unconscious. "But I suppose we all have our days." Flourishing the blades, Hoshiro sheathed them before disappearing from the arena in a puff of smoke.
