Mukizu vs. Hoshiro [p]

[hoshiro]

[intro.]

The forests outside the Hidden Sound Village were silent. The sun was setting in the distance, though the orb was blocked out by the trees all around them. Though it was a forest, 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 distance from the village was enough that any foreign ninja were considered enemies should they not be escorted by an ANBU who would more than likely have gone out to meet them. However, should there be a ninja who had gotten past... well...

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

Kidd found himself in a forest outside the Sound village. The Young Huuyga only had one reason to be out this far away from cloud, he was looking for a good fight. Kidd would be leaning against a tree looking up at the magnificent sun, the heat would warm his muscular body. His black Gi would be wrapped around his waist, with a black Katana resting within it. His bronze body seemed to shine in the light almost making him look like some type of god. His black, baggy Hamaka would be his pants of choice, this gave Kidd all the room he needed to preform well in any combat situation. The Hyuuga would reach into his butt-bag pulling out a small black comb. With a few swift strocks the MoHawc on his head would stay perfect. Putting the comb back into his butt-bag, the Hyuuga would close his eyes for a second gathering chakra within them. Opening them suddenly, Kidd would activate his 'Byakugan' seeing if anyone was around.

Behind the tree he was leaning against, 10 meters ahead. Kidd would see a unknown person. The Hyuuga would push himself off the tree with a smile on his face. Spinning around the Tree, Kidd would be out in the open, the uknown person would have to be able to see him now. Looking right at the male, Kidd would steadly pour his tenketsu around him into a barrier. With one hand on the hilt of his Katana, The Hyuuga would start walking over to the unknown male. His heavy black boots stepping on the soft grass underneath his feet. Would he be friendly or foe? It really didn't matter to Kidd, he just wanted to fight!

Byakugan x1
Rank: ["C"] "B" "A" [0]
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: ---
Special: ---
Drawback: Byakugan user has a 360 degree field of vision, with the exception of a small blind spot behind the user's first thoracic vertebrae (as stated in the manga). Lacks the power of Analysis. This is demonstrated in an anime filler arc by Ranmaru, who created false chakra circulatory systems through the use of a dôjutsu (possibly a bloodline limit), causing the Byakugan to see inanimate objects as people and the objects themselves at the same time. However, it is not considered canon in a filler episode that a Byakugan user is unable to see the workings of such an "illusion".
Description: Can see the minuscule chakra pressure points. With the use of certain hand seals, it also has telescopic, X-ray, and thermal vision. The Byakugan is the key to Konohagakure's strongest Taijutsu, the Jûken, as it allows the user to see the chakra circulatory system of an opponent. Each level of its insight can therefore be mystified by proper means. When first learned they are capable of seeing up to fifty yards in a 360 Degree radius except for that blind spot. Each time learned this amount of distance is increased by ten yards. When the user reaches up to a distance of One hundred yards the amount of training is increased to that of "B" Rank Level Training. The amount of distance is still increased by ten. When the user reaches up to a distance of Four Hundred Yards the user is capable of seeing even further but with an amount of A Rank Training.
Limit: Must be part of the Hyuuga Bloodlimit.

Hakkeshou: Nankan (Hands of the Eight Divinations: Barrier) x1
Rank: C
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Speeds up the user by 2 movements each time used.
Special: --
Drawback: Can only be used five times a day. If the user is higher than C rank, it still requires twenty TP to learn Nankan again.
Description: The user excretes chakra from their tenketsu steadily, creating a barrier around them that alerts the user of motion before it comes near the user, giving them the appearance of heightened reflexes. Some maintain that this skill was created in order to combat the Sharingan. The user can only use this technique five times a day when first learned. Each time it is learned again, the user can use it one extra time per day.
Limit: Must learn from a Jyuuken teacher or at the Hyuuga Mansion. Must be a Hyuuga. Must know Jyuuken Advanced Stance.

Ten meters...

Nine...

Hoshiro was counting down in his head silently as he watched the advance of a ninja whose eyes were white as snow. The veins leading to his eyes were bulged beyond belief. He had an idea of what was happening, but the result was a mystery. It was a Doujutsu, pushing chakra to one's eyes for an effect... But what it could be... Six! Hoshiro pushed off at top speed, striking his opponent with a rather uncreative first blow. His right Hooked Sword would fly at his opponent's left side to strike with the blunt side of the weapon. It would merely cause a slight sting if it landed^[1]. His second sword would jut in with a stab as he twisted the other sword so that the hook cradled in behind the ninja. His opponent would be too busy focusing on the incoming sword to notice a subtle change that could easily just be him shifting his weight^[2]. Should this strike land, it would definitely pierce the abdominal muscles in a non-lethal stab. Such was the drawback of having hooks rather than tips at the end of the sword, but it would still be enough to cause pain and loss of blood over time. Once his opponent had been stabbed, his right arm would jerk backward sharply. The action would cut deep into his opponent's left arm, severing many of the muscles and tendons leading to the bone^[3].

After such strikes had been made and such results were in place, it would only be a matter of time before his opponent fell from his own incompetency. Doujutsu or not, Hoshiro would make quick work of him should he not be able to follow his movements or see through the deception of his strikes.

Piercing white eyes would watch everything the male was doing. He could do nothing the Hyuuga wouldn't be able to see. With his tenketsu still pouring around him the barrier would increase his speed even more, at this rate he would be faster then sound itself. Watching the male dash in his direction, Kidd would unsheathe his sword and hold it out right infront of him with one hand. Waiting for the male to enter his barrier, Kidd would just watch, and wait. The male would throw his right hand foward going for a quick, and akward strike with the sword. "Got cha!" With a simple ducking movement, Kidd would find himself under the sword. Picking himself up with amazing speed, he would began slashing in all directions before the male even had a chance to throw a counter attack after the ducking of his first attack. The slashes would go all over his body hitting his. Hands, arms, legs, waist, and shoulders. The blows wouldn't be fatal, but they would be painful.

The slashes would move faster then he would be able to keep up with, but this wouldn't be the end of his onslaught. With a quick step backwards, Kidd would cock his hand back with his sword held high, then shoot himself foward thrusting his sword aimed right for the males heart. If this attack would get through the battle would be over, Death would be painless, and no one would even know what happend here.

The Taijutsu Master hadn't been sure what his opponent had been preparing, but the duck wasn't exactly unexpected seeing as Hoshiro had acted cautiously, leaving a window of opportunity for reaction just for this sort of thing. Stepping towards his opponent's sword hand, the ninja would circle around his opponent so that the ninja was out of position, his opponent's center of gravity low enough that any movement would be very hard for him to accomplish in such a position. In short, he sacrificed footing for a killing blow. In English, he screwed himself.

The first few stabs from his opponent landed quickly, piercing the stomach and left shoulder. However, the pain was drowned out by the adrenaline of the fight. He was defiantly gonna feel those after. The third missed completely as the Oto shinobi improvised a dodge taken from Goutetsu which relied on the distance from the opponent he was. The technique his opponent had used had been very fast. Luckily for Hoshiro, he had made the fatal flaw of putting himself in a terrible position to do anything after the strikes. The sharpened edge of Hoshiro's blade would find his opponent's neck upon passing with this technique, sliding up to the wicked curve which would grab his victim around the neck. Pressing down, he potentially cut through the spinal cord which would disable his opponent's movement. Should he not have sealed his opponent's movement or cut one of the major arteries, his opponent would still find himself being twisted awkwardly by the blade holding him by the neck. Either the neck would break with the sharp movement or the neck would be deeply cut in two places as the upper throat and the back of the neck was further damaged by the Taijutsu Master.

"Requiescat in pace."

Kouho and Haiho (扣歩・擺歩, Kouho and Haiho)
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: When an opponent attacks, you circle around his side, and appear behind him.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: When someone attacks with their right hand, put your right foot behind their left, with your two feet pointing towards each other. After that, follow up with your left foot, circle behind your opponent's left side and you appear behind the opponent. This can be followed by a throw; when behind the opponent's rear, hit their neck with your right arm, and put your right leg behind their legs. You should not necessarily hit the opponent's neck too severely, as the opponent will have lost their balance already depending on the speed of the attack, not the strength of it.
Limit: Must learn from a Master of Goutetsu 轟鉄 (Strong Iron)

Speed is something the Hyuuga had, his training and reflexes made him into the warrior he is today. Still pouring a steady of tenketsu, Kidd would become even faster. From this point on everything he would do from a simple duck, to a low jump would be almost lightning fast. The Hyuuga could feel his blade slice through a few parts of the unknown man's body, the way he swung his blade insured no killing blow would be thrown, but Kidd now had a quick change of heart. His stance was prefect even though he was going for a killing blow, he would never sacrifice his footing. The unknown male had determination, he wouldn't give up, but this just made Kidd want to end his life even more. The Hyuuga noticed the male stepping in towards his sword hand, but he gave no sign of awareness, he wanted to catch his opponent by surprise.

using the power of his clan, The Hyuuga would scan over the males body. His barrier told him of danger approching but he didn't need it, his eyes told him everything he needed to know. In the middle of the males spin, Kidd would duck under the approching hook sword. Within a blink of an eye the Hyuuga would find himself stand right back up again. Him and the male seemed to have almost switched places, but Kidd was behind him, the final blow was near. Kidd would begin his phenomenal slashes once again. The unknown males, arm was still exteneded at this point, so that would be Kidd's first target. With a quick, but deadly slash, The Hyuuga would go for a clean decapitation. Then the real damage would begin, Kidd would start slashing all over the males back area, after cutting off his extended sword arm. When its all said in done, Kidd would release one more powerful thrusting stab aimed for the heart which would send the male flying foward 10 meters. The slashes would be so fast, Kidd himself would miss a few even with the eyes of a Hyuuga. What made things worse was the fact the male hadn't even put his right foot down, which means any type of fast movement Technique --Shunshin--- Would be out of the question. Kidd would try and make this a fast death but he makes no promises.

ooc:: so, that would be 4/5 barriers expired..? Oh, don't tell me xD you think a C-rank technique will indefinitely increase your speed by 2 movements each time used for the entire fight? lol, I call BS on that shit. It can only be used 5 times a day creating one limiting factor. The other limiting factor is how long the barrier stays active. Speeding you up 2 movements for a turn each time used.

I was wondering where you were getting all these movements from! If you continue this fight like you're going to be moving with the equivalent of a B-rank ninja's speed of using a C-rank technique the minimum number of times training it once will get you, you'll need to give proof to convince me that's the way the skill was meant to be used. I think you'd better order a side of common sense with that BM if you really have to get one involved to know.

However, I've dodged your attack this post anyway, so it doesn't really make a difference for this post... just know you only have one more left and you're back to moving the same speed as me until you choose to strategically activate your barrier instead of layering them like you're doing. No wonder you thought you were invincible back in the c-box. I'd think so too if I was a D-rank essentially becoming an A-rank by the end of 5 turns off the minimum reqs of a C-rank tech... and I could gain even more movements from just training it 20 tp more each time learned.

So... there was a trick about those eyes. It was like he could see everything even though he would normally have been in his opponent's blind spot. The Hyuuga spun to follow his movements even as he ducked. It would typically be impossible for any ninja to focus on a whole body at once, but this one was doing quite a good job at it... Hoshiro already anticipated what was to follow and kept true in the direction he was going. It seemed the Hyuuga waited for the hook to miss before standing quickly and delivering his own strikes. Bringing his hands together, Hoshiro would hold both the swords in his right hand before reaching into his ninja pack, the wind created by the strong stabs blowing against him alerting Hoshiro the attack missed, though a light sound came from his clothes as a single rip made itself known. Too close. His opponent would have seen that Hoshiro was facing him the entire time, and while moving backward was slower than charging, it had advantages of its own. Hoshiro drew a knife from the depths of his ninja pouch. In a gleaming of light, Hoshiro would throw it powerfully. The object would spin in the air, aimed at his opponent's left foot from the short distance away he was.

His enemy would have begun the stabs after Hoshiro's blade missed, but that would just mean Hoshiro was already two arm lengths away. It would be close since his opponent was moving with the efficiency of a B-rank ninja thanks to the four barriers that were activated. It would just be all the more wasteful when he found himself overreaching in an attempt to deal the final blow that wasn't to come. Though Hoshiro's arm and gut were beginning to sting since he was out of immediate danger, he willed himself to not think about it as he created distance between himself and his opponent. By the end of it, Hoshiro would be 12 meters away, getting a grasp of his opponent's fighting style. He would switch back to holding one sword a hand before speaking.

"You have a gift." Hoshiro observed. "I think I've figured it out... It was obvious just from looking at you that you were different. By pushing chakra to your eyes, you can see everything around you whether your eyes are looking at it or not. In short, you have perfect vision." Hoshiro concluded. "Am I close?" He joked sarcastically.
