A certain colorful teen ruffled his wings behind him as he took a leisurely stroll through a field, ignoring the squawk coming from the bird sitting on his shoulder. It was a nice day, he decided. Warm and there weren't all that many clouds out, though the temperature was gradually declining as the sun began to dip below the mountains in the distance. Not that it bothered him all that much, the scent of spring more than enough to make up for it, everything smelling so fresh. Eventually his steps slowed to a stop, green eyes taking in the seemingly peaceful sights around him.

[hoshiro]

Well, Hoshiro found himself in a deceivingly tranquil environment indeed. It was full of bunnies, singing birds, and all the fuzzy woodland creatures one might expect to find in a Disney movie. Too bad this was Naruto and there were supposed to be ninja trying to kill each other! Other than that, it was a pretty family-friendly affair.

"Why do I feel like I've been unjustly drug into Bambi..?" Hoshiro muttered to himself, coming to a stop some twenty meters away from both of the people he was supposed to be fighting. Ha... 'fighting'. It was probably more or less just gonna devolve into him trying to survive a hail of attacks from two directions. Not that he was completely against the idea to begin with. It'd been a while since he'd fought off the fifteen Gryaz with Natsuhi... and a little help from Elgar.

Hoshiro carried with him his signature weapons. Twin Hu Tou Gou. Beyond that, it was just the flack jacket, cloak, and two butt bags full of items for him to use at his own disgression. Sevin decided to sit this one out, lazily running about with the other woodland creatures, pretending to be in charge of them and what not. Singing something about 'liking to move it'. Not that Hoshiro understood what it was he liked to move... maybe it was the weird hat the Lemur liked to wear? Hoshiro could only wonder at the enigma that was Sevin.

Maria felt immensely out of place in this environment. It was all so...green. She stood out like a sore thumb in her specialised parade armor. It was pretty much entirely for show, bright pink and white over a black skinsuit. It was lightweight, and didn't interfere with her movements, but it was also thin and fragile, unable to provide any defense against attacks. In fact it was utterly nonconductive, meaning she would not take additional damage from sources of heat, cold, or electricity. All told it may as well not have been there.

However, especially of late she had been replacing the useless pieces with new and improved versions. Her chestplate now had a shirt of Kanaami mesh weave affixed to the interior, her hite gloves had a peculiar set of cups and grooves along the palm and the insides of the fingers, allowing her to more powerfully and accurately throw items such as senbon. They were built for senbon, actually, but her extensive training in Senbon Taitoku would allow her to use any item as a substitute for a senbon. There were no limits to this other than raw physical might. If she were strong enough to lift one of these trees, which she was not, she could conceivably use IT as a senbon.

The leggings of her bodysuit were slightly bulkier on the right side, this was due to a medium-sized hip quiver being sewn into them. At this time it contained seven crossbow bolts for throwing, five broad headed ones with razor blade fletching that would be quite painful to remove if they bit into the flesh, and two which bore blunted tips and true-class razor blade fletching, but would split into five segments before exploding massively. Her pink boots were modified from standard black combat boots to bear a spring mechanism at the heel which would unleash a pair of knife blades when triggered. And hanging from her waist just above her posterior was a special sheath for her Feng Huo Lun - a type of melee disk, these in particular with "swordbreakers" or extensions designed to catch a weapon between them and snap it in two with a twist - shaped in the face of a grinning "Oni" demon. Interestingly she bore no helmet, when it was obvious one was meant to be there. This was because it had been destroyed earlier in a fight with that AnBu she called Kiddo, and so she hadn't bothered with the large curl she usually took on in this armor, instead allowing her waist-length sage-hued ponytail to flow free.

Headband loose around her neck, her eyes - a sage hue to match her hair - scanned for something, anything, she could use as a projectile in case she ran out of bolts. The situation was fairly grim on that count. The best this environment had to offer were some exceedingly wet and therefore pliable and hard-to-break tree branches. Oh, the joy. Plus she was outnumbered, though judging by the metal bands of her adversaries they bore no allegiance to one another either. If she was lucky she would be able to slink away while the two killed eachother. And how did she even get here to begin with???

[Kiyoshi]

Upon seeing the arrivals of two strangers, Mikio was put completely on edge. Hand instinctively reached back to his butt bag, pulled out a far smaller, blue bag filled with dried seeds and untied it and swung the bag out in front of him to spread the seeds. With a single serpent seal, the seeds within a ten by ten meter around him grew into a mixture of red and yellow daisies, about one hundred in number.

Again his hands were moving and six seals were formed consecutively, causing ten of the flowers around him to raise and form a clone of himself. The copy was weak and could easily be dispersed, but he was hoping it could prove to be of some use to him. It stood a couple meters in front of him, as if it could somehow protect him with a kunai in hand, drawn from its own fake butt pouch.

Puranto Ninpou : Haeru
Rank: E
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: A basic technique of the Hanakora, where the user molds a certain type of chakra to feed it to the clan’s special seeds and make them sprout into flowers. With other techniques, the seeds can grow into different kinds of plants.
Drawback: ---
Special: Handseal: Serpent
Description: This is the first clan technique for the members of Hanakora to learn, since it’s needed for many other techniques. The user spreads the needed amount of seeds in the desired area and uses then the Serpent seal to make the seeds sprout into flowers instantly – almost as soon as the seal has been formed, the flowers are ready for use. The seeds will always respond to Haeru chakra, no matter where the seeds are when the technique is used: One bag of the Hanakora seeds can become a full-sized, flower filled meadow even in sand and snow, or while floating on water. The basic form of Haeru creates red, blue, white and yellow daisies, but by molding their chakra in a slightly different way, the user can also create other kinds of flowers.
Limit: Hanakora technique

Hana Bunshin no jutsu (flower clone)
Rank: D
Skill:: Ninjutsu
Effect:: Creates a clone from Flowers
Special:: handseals
Drawback:: Obviously if hit with fire or lighting, the flowers will be destroyed, thus the destruction of the clone and the ability to use the flowers afterwards.
Description::: After forming handseals, flowers from around the user begin to swirl and form together. It takes at least 10 hanakora flowers for the chakra to network and form a perfect clone. Other flowers can be used, but since this technique was designed for hanakora flowers it requires 50 regular flowers. Being made of flowers, these clones will disintegrate after a single hit. After they fall apart, the flowers can still be used in flower jutsu.
Limit:: hanako clan

ooc;; you two can have a little fun!

Hoshiro blinked and crossed his arms, not really doing anything yet. I mean, it was one thing to take the initiative, but he didn't see the need to fight just yet. Perhaps just watching would be for the best at the moment. He pushed off backward, low to the ground to be able to quickly change directions but still move at a reasonable pace back to the trees lining the valley.

"You kids have fun!" He waved, leaning on a tree some thirty meters off from the pair. He was standing just on the outskirts of the forest. He wasn't about to say that he had personal issues killing a woman. He wasn't about to say he had personal issues with killing in general. It was a waste of life... he found he was much better when protecting rather than using his sword to destroy.

On his elbows and knees he had pads... and on his hands he wore gloves. He had inside his butt bags 6x Grenade: Stun, 4x Grenade: Fragmentation, 90' Wire, 4x Bolas - Boleadora (3 Weights), Flashlight (small), and 8x Knives. He had no weapons in his cloak, but on his tactical vest he had 14x Knives and 2x Kunai with a strange tag on them. Not even Hoshiro knew what the tag was for... and that wasn't for lack of research. He knew they weren't exploding tags, but it was still a little unsettling to think that he had items he didn't know what did. He noticed he'd been a little luckier lately, so he'd just given them the temporary name: lucky tags. Sevin had tried to eat one before, but Hoshiro'd given it a bop on the head in retribution.

Hoshiro hoped he could just stay out of the fight... who knows? Maybe they'd both run off and leave Hoshiro as the victor! The teen knew it was a longshot, but hey, he could still hope! Meanwhile, Sevin was still partying with the other woodland animals. Dancing about, just general merry making.

Maria would look at the winged boy oddly. Nobody had made any even mildly agressive gestures as yet, so it seemed silly to assume there would be battle. The other one just ran away entirely. Great. So now if she tried to hide in the trees the other one would likely fight her. She was damned every which way. A pity. Still may as well prove a point - not to place your clones where one decent piercing attack would be able to strike it down and damage the original as well.

With a sigh, she would reach into the quiver on her leg - being smaller than arrows the bolts would not be plainly visible to the others, where arrows would be - and pulled out a pair of bolts - one with a sharp, broad head while the other was blunted but more traditionally shaped - while an azure sheet swelled out from her pupils to cover all but the whites of her eyes. Glancing sidelong at the original Winged Boy, she would loose the broadheaded dart with a strange twist of her wrist and a quick thrust of the arm.

The bolt would be aimed directly at the central mass of the clone, meaning it was out of veiw of the original. The original most likely never realized she had moved at all, but if he somehow did predict her attack he would never place his clones where they could be a detriment again, garuanteed. The force behind the spiralling weapon, should it strike home, would be more than enough to blast through the mass of flowers like they weren't even there, slamming into the boy's torso and bite deeply of his flesh. And that was if it didn't blast a hole in him too.

Regardless of the results however, she would tuck the blunted bolt in at her palm, hidden, and draw forth her Feng Huo Lun - this just got alot more decidedly combative, and it was mostly her fault. Plenty of time left to examine further maneuvers and react to them.

Ryuugan mastery
Rank: “B” Rank.
Skill: Kekkei genkai.
Effect: Makes the user able to activate the Ryuugan without the use of a handseal and reduce the headache duration by 1/3.
Special: ---
Drawback: Activating the bloodlimit without the handseal costs a “D”-rank worth of more chakra. Must have 500 TP into the clans jutsus.
Description: The reason why a Ryuugan user gets a headache after using bloodlimit jutsu is because it tires out the mind and senses (especially the sense of sight) a little bit.
When a user has trained a lot into these techniques, those things will change a little. Their senses will grow less tired, which reduces the headache duration a little bit (i.e. a ninjutsu that gives a headache for 6 posts will only last for 4).
Also, the user do not need to do the handseal in order to activate the bloodlimit anymore: if they use a tad bit extra chakra, the bloodlimit will activate itself without the handseal.
Limit: Must have Kazeraikou clans Ryuugan. Automatically gained when you have 500 TP into the clan's ninjutsus

Buki-Kaikei (Weapon Finance)
Rank: B
Skill: Tai
Effect: The Senbon Taitoku user is able to use any type of projectile weapon as a deadly weapon, regardless how stupid it may seem.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description:After being trained rigorously with almost every type of throwing weapon imaginable, developing an uncanny ability to use virtually any object as a lethal projectile. As a result, the user can accomplish many feats with thrown projectiles that are impossible outside of fiction. This include lacerating a person’s throat with a thrown playing card, spitting your own tooth through a human skull, tossing a paper airplane to a distant rooftop, and killing a person with a toothpick. Any form of projectile weapon is now a deadly weapon in the hands of a Senbon Taitoku User.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

Odoriko Onchou (Dancers Grace)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Tai
Effect: Becoming more aware of their surroundings the user is unable to be caught flat footed or be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: Training to heighten their senses in the heat of combat, the Senbon Taitoku user under goes training to become more prepared then ever. They slowly become aware of their surroundings on the battle field, to the point they become similar with it like their own back yard. With this natural sense of their surroundings the user can't be caught flat footed or be flanked. Which means if the user was walking down the road minding their business, and a ambush party burst out from the bushes. The user wouldn't be caught of guard and would most likely except it, and will sense someone was coming up from behind to attack and will act quickly and either attack first or get out the way. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique can not use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user

Ryoku-Tama (Power Shot)
Rank: B
Skill: Tai
Effect: The user is capable of throwing a projectile weapon so hard, that it can penetrate threw a hard concrete wall. If used on a human being it can go straight threw the humans flesh and bones.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Tightening the muscles in their arm and wrist, the user quickly snaps their wrist as they trust their arm froward to send their projectile weapon flying with great speed and force. The projectile does more damage then a regular threw as it can penetrate the hardest of substances. This can slow or cripple an enemy if used correctly, in the hands of a master if can be a deadly weapon.
Limit: Must be a Senbon Taitoku user.

Senbon Hayaku Jiten (Senbon Accelerated spin)
Rank: D rank
Skill: Taijutsu, supplementary
Effect: Adds additional spin to fast moving senbon
Special: Holds boar and selected senbon in hands at the same time
Drawback:---
Description: The user pools a very small amount of chakra into the the base of selected senbons. When the senbon is thrown, It spins at a higher velocity then usual. Doing so makes the senbon fly in even more accurately at the target and increases damage when hitting. This is meant to be combined with other senbon techs.
Limit:Must know Senbon Taitoku Stance.

[Kiyoshi]

While Mikio was being an idiot and standing behind his weak-as-hell clone, he was damn lucky that the bird on his shoulder was able to see what was happening on the other side of him. Gilligan the osprey squawked in warning, pulled at its master's shirt with talons as it tried flying up. Getting the hint, the teen quickly jumped to his left, landing about half a meter away from his previous position. Just in time to see his clone torn apart, too. Suddenly the red head's heart was pounding away in his chest- she just tried to kill him! Oh this wasn't good, not good at all.

Not wanting to just stand there and wait for her to attack him again, the panicking boy's hands moved to create even more seals, seventy-five of the flowers around him shot up into the air, began to quickly as they remained suspended. Though they didn't stay that way for long, because as soon as he finished that first string of seals, he started a second. And those floating flowers would split into three different streams, each with twenty-five of the hardened and sharpened flowers. One would shoot directly for the woman, while a second was aimed half a meter to her left and the third half a meter to her right. Each stream was about a foot in diameter, too.

And this time he took to the skies after, instead of just standing there. Gilligan flew off his shoulder and circled the area, the white and black bird watching carefully. Mikio felt a lot safer up there too, because he was about fifteen meters off the ground and thought- no, hoped that he'd have enough time to react to anything.

Hana Kamei: Jiten! (Flower Command: Spin!)
Rank: D Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes a flower, or flowers, to rise up off of the ground and begin to spin.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: The technique is incapable of harming anyone. Weak to fire.
Description: A simple technique that is mostly just for show, this ability allows the user to cause a flower, or up to five meters in diameter of flowers, to rise as far as ten meters off of the ground and simply spin around and around very quickly. The effect lasts for one turn, although the user may hold the Ram handseal in order to cause the flowers to remain within the air, continuing their spin, for a greater show.
Limit: Must be a member of the Hanakora Clan.

Hana Ninpou: Hana Shuriken
Rank: D - S [D]
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Hardens flowers to “flower shuriken”, and launches them in wide streams at the opponents.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: To use this technique, the user has to have flowers around them. The user slices flowers into the air, usually with a cutting weapon, and on command the flowers harden - the edges of the petals sharpen, transforming the flowers shurikens-like - and launch then themselves in streams at their opponent(s). When first learned, the user can create three different streams, and each time learned two more streams can be created. Once launched, the user can’t change the direction of the flowers before they learn the B-ranked version: In B-Rank and above, the user can control the streams, change their direction and move them around freely in 50 meter area round them. On contact the flowers become normal again, and the user loses the ability to make them levitate. Instead of the rank of the technique, the real strength of the technique depends on the amount of flowers the user has around them.
Limit: Hanakora Clan

Tsubasa Sodachimasu no jutsu (Wing Grow Technique)

Description: The user forms the handseal, and then the extra shoulder bones that come from the Ritual of Talon and Feather burst through the back of the user and they start to grow into wings of any given bird, through chakra increasing the length of the bones, (user chooses) that are twice the length of the user’s arms. Chakra will numb the pain, but it will still hurt. The chakra will also accelerate the growth of the skin, but it will come out with feathers. The user may then use the wings to fly and perform other techniques that require this jutsu.
Limit: Ritual of Talon and Feather

[hoshiro]

Hoshiro just watched as the events transpired. It seemed like it should be an interesting fight to watch. Really, he was glad he hadn't chosen to attack. It would have been quick and there wouldn't have been an opportunity to see different fighting styles. Keeping true to his intentions, Hoshiro stayed stationary, allowing them to fight their fight. He didn't want to intervene and ruin their fun.

Taking to the air, hm? Fine then. With the Ryuugan active, the wind was her ally, so Maria would harass the Flying Boy with as strong of a turbulence as she could muster, which was admittedly not all too much. Enough force to say flip a skirt as it passed, but hardly enough to uproot trees. The pressure would buffet him from all angles as she tossed her Feng Huo Lun to the air and performed a sereis of seals. They would reach their apex in two and a half seconds, and return to her waiting hands after another two and a half seconds - immediately after her seals were completed.

The wind would intensify massively, a static charge filling the air as the mighty cyclone touched down, swirling around the Bird Boy's approximate location with slashing and burning force, a ten-meter field of paralyzing sparks sprading out from its initial range. Being the caster, Maria was naturally immune to the sparks, however if the cyclone were to hit her...it wasn't fun, and she'd been the victim of its fury once before. It had immobilized her for all of its thirty-second duration, causing immense agony. And that was after her opponent had used a technique that reduced its power.

Disks in hand she would flee to a safe distance, toward the treeline, her arms trailing behind her. The left arm shot forward, and its Feng Huo Lun would fly out seeking to bury itself in the other boy's chest. Or a tree, since he would more likely than not move out of the way. Yet as long as he was getting out of its way, he would be out of her way, and that was the important thing. She did NOT want to be caught inside her cyclone at full power.

(Wait, so what'd she do about the flowers Mikio shot at her? Maybe I'm blind and missed something. Because if he was already in the air when your post started, he would have already fired off the flowers. And the air turbulence mentioned was directed only at Mikio, I think, according to what you wrote. And she didn't move back until after she fired off her cyclone, so wouldn't the flowers have reached her by then? lol auto hit. typing up post noaw)

[Deleted]

forgot to do anything about it. auto-hit. i suppose that leaves what happens now up to you

[Kiyoshi]

Honestly, Mikio was a bit surprised when his technique actually hit, felt damn lucky because that was one of the only offensive jutsu he knew. Would be like the woman getting hit with twenty-five shuriken, though the flowers softened back up soon as they were embedded within her skin. But he didn't stand there gawking like an idiot, already made one to many mistakes so far, one that almost got him killed. Seeing her start casting something in retaliation and feeling the odd wind currents pushing against him, he moved a bit further away, at least wanting to be able to fly normally. Made him realize that maybe the sky wasn't as safe as he thought, and whatever she was casting certainly wouldn't be good for him. Started for the cover of the small patch of trees nearby, where he had seen that other strange guy playing with animals. If uninterrupted, it would have been easy for him to get out of the way in time, his bird following him. Didn't even notice that projectile thrown towards him, didn't see it and the crackling covered up any sound he would have heard.

Landing about seven meters into the forest, Gilligan perched on a branch above him and kept a lookout. Hoping this would give him some cover, he started throwing together a lot of seals, this sequence longer than any of his others so far. The result? A giant mushroom, four times the size of a normal one, grew out of the carcase of a nearby wildlife critter. It was pretty generic far as mushrooms went, a gray-brown color with a thick stalk and a dome for a top. Soon as he finished that jutsu and the fungus was grown, he started forming even more seals, the mushroom forming into three clones of himself once that last one was formed. These clones weren't quite as useless as the flower one he had used earlier, as they could stick to his opponents, preform other fungus-related techniques, and do some taijutsu. But, if he had any luck, his opponents didn't see and wouldn't realize the difference and think these ones were those same weak ones made of flowers.

Kinrui: Oishigeru (Fungal Technique: Overgrowth)
Rank: D, C, , A, S
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Causes the growth of a possibly larger-than-usual fungus on a nearby plant or dead creature.
Special: "Handsigns" Can hold the Boar handsign.
Drawback: Funguses can be destroyed with enough damage. Can only be used on plants or dead creatures. Fungus created are useless for herbalist. Can only create one fungus or mushroom at a time.
Description: With the use of chakra, the user stimulates the growth of a mushroom using plants or dead creatures as fuel and a base. The fungus will grow quickly, almost instantaneously, and can serve many different types of purposes. The type of fungus grown ranges from simple, stalked mushrooms to ones without stalks to even types of mold but is not simply limited to simple funguses. Fungus grown with this technique can not be used for mixtures due to the contaminated growth of the fungus and any types of fungus that may have natural poisons or other uses are not given their natural poison due to the hasty growth of the fungus. At D rank the fungus grown are of common size. At C rank the fungus increase to twice their regular size. At B rank the fungus increase to four times their regular size. At A rank the fungus increase to eight times their regular size. At S rank the fungus increase to fifteen times their regular size. B and A rank sized fungi can withstand a D rank amount of damage before being destroyed, except by fire style attacks, and S rank sized fungi can withstand a C rank amount of damage before being destroyed, except by fire style attacks. Holding the final Boar handsign allows the user to continue to create fungus for as long as they hold the handsign.
Limit: Wood Release.

Kinrui: Kinoko Bushin (Fungal Technique: 'Shroom Clone)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a clone of sticky fungus and mushrooms.
Special: "Handsigns"
Drawback: Can only create three clones when learned the first time.
Description: Stimulating the growth of a large mushroom then shaping it into the user's form, it then becomes covered in the same sticky fungus as with the Kinrui: Ao Seken (Fungal Technique: World of Green) technique with equivalent strength to the user's rank within Kinrui: Ao Seken (Fungal Technique: World of Green). This clone is capable of utilizing Kinrui style techniques and Taijutsu, sticking to the target once it touches them. After the first time learned, the user can create three clones at once; each time learned extra allows two more clones to be formed at a time.
Limit: Wood Release. Must know Kinrui: Oishigeru (Fungal Technique: Overgrowth) B rank. Must know Kinrui: Ao Seken (Fungal Technique: World of Green).

Kinrui: Ao Seken (Fungal Technique: World of Green)
Rank: D, C, , A
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Grows sticky green fungi all over any fungus within a 10 meter area.
Special: "Handsigns"
Drawback: Can be destroyed or burned away with fire. Can't differ friends from foe. Can effect the user.
Description: Using Kinrui: Oishigeru (Fungal Technique: Overgrowth) in a mass form, the user pours chakra into all fungi within 10 meters of the user. Green, mold-like fungus grows on the surface of all fungi within those 10 meters that excretes a sticky substance along the fungus's surface. At D rank the sticky substance is only enough to annoy and stall targets, unable to hold anything except small animals. At C rank this sticky substance is only a nuisance and is not powerful enough to immobilize an opponent, only enough to prohibit agile foot movement while caught (Non-tai specialist will be held). At B rank the sticky substance becomes very hard to remove or move within, holding an object with a massive amount of grip that can immobilize even stronger foes (Tai specialist will be held). At A rank the sticky substance becomes nearly inescapable once caught within, holding even the most powerful beasts within it's grasp (Tai master will be held).
Limit: Wood Release. Must know Kinrui: Oishigeru (Fungal Technique: Overgrowth) equal rank of the rank of this technique learned.

Battle Theme

The shuriken attack would more than likely hurt like hell, small cuts digging into her body from three angles. The flowers would sever muscle and tendon as the attack would hit in a rain of petals. Hoshiro was slightly impressed that such a number of them would strike home. Unlike senbon, Shuriken were much broader and could tear more area much better. The fact so many struck home just meant the woman would probably have a harder time moving around and concentrating on anything but the throbbing pain coursing through her body. But that still didn't stop her from creating hand seals to pay the boy back in kind. As the final handseal was created, Hoshiro would witness a giant storm forming around the winged boy.

It seemed the trick was getting out of the proximity of the five meter radius storm before it was completely formed around him. He flew low as he approached the trees where Hoshiro resided. Bad call. Hoshiro would run up the side of the tree part way, getting into position. As the boy flew over Hoshiro's location, Hoshiro would disappear from where he stood and reappear in the boy's way, his face contorted in the anticipation of battle. The boy wouldn't have expected anyone to be able to get to that height so quickly and in close combat range. Hoshiro's sword would gleam in a flash of steel to stop just before striking his neck with the cold blade.

"Consider this a warning." Hoshiro winked in a whisper only the boy could hear as time seemed to crawl to a halt [it didn't really, but I needed some way to fit in what he said... go manga style fighting!]. Time returning to normal, Hoshiro kicked out with Taijutsu Master speed at the torso of the boy. Upon contact, Hoshiro would be propelled backward in a flip as basic physics dictated to land horizontally on the trunk of a tree some meters away, sticking to it with chakra in a 'kneeling' position. The winged boy would, too, be propelled backward if the strike connected... only he would be propelled back toward the raging storm which would probably pull him in strongly if he tried to use his wings. At least the girl who was on the other side of the storm had been wise to stay away from Hoshiro. He hadn't wanted to get involved like this... but he didn't seem to have been given a choice.

Should his attack be successful, Hoshiro would find himself looking directly at the woman nearing the treeline. "You reap what you sow." Hoshiro said in warning. If she aimed to pass into the forest, she would have to go through him. And he wasn't one to be trifled with, no matter who it was who was facing him.

Before posting two points must be made. 1) The disk was aimed at Hoshi, not Miki, as retreat was toward the trees. Howoever this segment may have not occured at all, as twenty-five shuriken HURT.

2) The 5-meter storm is accompanied by an additional 10 meter field of paralytic sparks, granting it a total 15 meter radius. You neglected to mention the range at which you collide with Miki, meaning it is very possible you are both caught in said field. Also, That storm was likely one final huzzah - I may be dead.

We can conven over PM's, the CBox, or Instant Messanger if you have it to come to our own concensus. No need to bother a BM diring Quest/Chuunin Time.
