OPEN FIGHT

[Deleted]

It was a rather barren wasteland that he stood upon, sandal feet crunching hard on the dirt caked ground that seemed to stretch for miles. At least 75 meters all around would these plains extend, the midday’s sun and heat not aiding in his hard travels. He’d been wandering for hours now, his destination long lost and nowhere to be found. A faint wind trickled around, but no other life could be spotted. He believed to see a lake some ways away to the north, with some meaningless forest equally to the south. Gideon continued to trot through the tree-less plains, wondering if he’d ever be saved from such a hell zone. If this continued, he might actually need to use his ninjutsu as an alternative.

Oh dear…

[OOC: I know this isn't the smartest decision fighting an A rank at my rank, but hell I'ma have fun with it!]

Well this ninja unknown to Jens would only have his bad luck streak continue. As Jens walked down this dirt field, almost forgetting how he got here other than remembering he came from the sand village. He was on a mission to capture the ninja that took hideout in this location. Was that too general? Yes. Would he most likely make a mistake? Totally. Will he feel like an idiot? Of course. Does he give a shit? No. Being a ninja meant that he would screw up a few things.

The sun shined on this destined arena, it's heat something he was accustomed to being from the blazing hot sand village. Well compact ground was a little weird on him though. No rocks, trees or anything else... Just dirt. This place was quite the odd spot for a villain to hideout.

Soon he spotted who he believed to be the criminal he was hunting for, his attention quickly drawn to him as his face shifted up from it's position of staring at his own footsteps to the sound of more dirt crunching from footsteps. A man, assuming him to be a shinobi was walking the opposite way of him. He halted, his right hand placed on the hilt of his katana, strapped to his left side. Ready for anything, that was a proper prelude for a battle.

I would spot a ninja from a distance of 20 meters from me I looked at him strangely as he would seem to be gripping a his katana that sat gingerly on his left hand side. Was this a joke? Did he dare to attempt too take me on? His figure would seem to be small petite one and not being able to finish with his technique. He seemed to also be only a mere genin in the first place. I sighed. This would only be slightly less than boring to fight such a weak opponent. 

With a one handed handseal I would create 155 lightning ravens that filled the space infront of me. With a command of my hand they would advance forward with the sound of trickling and the sound chirping lightning. I would command them to follow to wherever the man went. If he dodged to the left the would bank left and vice versa. Within contact they would release their D rank Charge. This man would have his hands full.  

As my ravens were sent forward for the kill I would prepare my next technique just in case the measly genuine would be able to survive the swallow attack. Wind began to generate in front of me. It began to condense into a ball that would soon bring the mans demise.

The man remained silent. Jens assumed he was waiting for the genin to question him, but it appeared different. Before he could find a way to phrase the question in an appropriate way, he was ambushed with a jutsu. How ironic it would be to find his own jutsu used against him. Though, this one was much more well trained. He found it rather odd how he had the jutsu set up. He lined them up so they would remain right in front of him. That may not have appeared as a problem if the foe didn't have such a tiny frame, that wouldn't have been a problem, but now the ravens remain in front of him with a dimension of less than two feet, making it only possible for them to barely fit as they stacked on top of each other upwards towards the sky. Odd formation indeed.

As these ravens made a charge towards him, Jens decided the best way to counter this was to gain distance. This shinobi knew this jutsu well enough to know he simply had to escape the range. As he focused chakra in his feet and ankles, he almost instantaneously moved backwards at a shocking speed, then stopping ten meters further from his original location. He could risk running this, but he felt uncomfortable with the chances of an attack, and simply repeated his actions to move back another ten meters at the same speed. He felt foolish wasting two out of his three shunshin uses already, but he had to accept it as his first idea and that's how he reacted.

He unfortunately used all his movements this way, and stood at the 40 meter border of the ravens. He would have to move fast next round or get hit it seems.

I smiled. The ninja had used a shunshin technique to escape the grasp of my thunder storm ravens which was a smart idea indeed because he would be dead otherwise. But he was too late. The chakra balls of wind that I has charged up since the previous round would begin to form already and he was well inside the range of my technique. With a great push the ball of pressurized wind would shoot outwards towards the man. 

Now the wind ball itself is pretty invisible seeing as it was a fact of being wind plus due to it's power it travelled in great speed. Once it was in the range of 30 meters away from me it would explode with great power ripping apart everything within a twenty meter radius. The man was 10 meters away from the wind ball and was well in the range of the technique. Death was truly present.

Fuuton: Bakuhatsu no Kaze (Wind Release: Explosion of Wind)
Rank: "A" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive
Effect: Creates a powerful burst of shredding winds that leave a crater at the area of impact.
Special: "Hand Seals"
Drawback: The user is capable of being caught within the shredding wind blast as well. Takes a full turn of charging the technique before it can be used.
Description: One of the most powerful offensive techniques available to those who ascribe to the Wind Release, Bakuhatsu no Kaze is performed by channeling a great amount of rapidly compressed winds downwards into a tight ball. This ball will continue to condense upon itself until it is ready for use. When enough air has been condensed, the user will launch it forward. The technique moves quickly, making it difficult to dodge, and it can move forward at maximum thirty feet before exploding as if it achieved impact. Upon impact, the winds release themselves in a giant wave of slashing winds, ripping into whatever is in the area. After the explosion of wind has ceased, a large crater of about twenty meters is often the only thing left standing.
Limit: Must be a Master of the Wind Release to learn.

[OOC: Guess that should've been inevitable, but it was fun while it lasted XD. It's an arena and I'm tired so I'll BS an ending...]

Turns out Jens played into the enemy's trap a little too easily as he found himself shredded apart viciously by the malicious winds. If the foe looked he'd find nothing but a bloody mess, a katana and a few different projectiles that weren't broken by the attack. Well that was a pitiful death, a little late to complain though.
