The shallow waters slap noisily against the outcropping rocks, and the sun hangs low in the sky, a perfect place for battle as the two strong willed fighters face off. The lake stretches out as far as the eye can see in one direction, the rocky beach in the other, escape is possible, but for the weak. Rocks break the surface of the water in many places, standing bold and defiant against the power of the tide, for centuries they have stood, and a fight is not going to break them here. Atsui faced off against her rather inexperienced looking opponent, the soft wind blowing against her hardened face, crimson eyes watching his every movement, another one was going to fall at her feet, a waste of a life, but a challenge issued was not a challenge forgotten, he had been bold enough to call her out to battle, she would not let his bravery be lost to her.

Before she killed him, she would know his name, honor demanded it. Her sword slept soundly in its sheath at her side, the wind pushing it, making it tap her leg softly every few seconds, a comfort to know she was not alone in the fight. For everything else? She had left it behind, there was no use for any of that. Her body and her blade were the only weapons she wanted, or even needed, a sad truth.

[Hopalong]

Jens eagerily awaited his opponent, standing on the gently flowing water. With his positioning he was 10 meters away from any rocks, having a moment to glance over to the rocks, able to note that none of them had sharp edges, a sad thing as he was hoping to use them for impaling if the situation called for it. Looking back to his opponent, whom was 15 meters away from him, staring intensely, considering a stare down to see if he could intimidate her. He kept a strong pose, dressed cleanly for this, in a white undershirt and brown zippered vest on top, a portion of his chest still exposed with the clothing, brown gloves, brown pants and sandles to match. The clothes somewhat tight, but Jens didn't mind as he was used to wearing this in the heated weathers of sand, so this was relaxing to him. Gentle breezes constantly going by, pushing his blonde off to one side, not bothering his eyes though. As he stared at the woman he noticed the sheathed blade to her side, making Jens realize this might get difficult, as he had no weapons other than his fists and his jutsu.

Jens remembered this was a fight, and he couldn't let her get away with what she had done. This fight, was not only for his own, but for his pudding's honor! Yes, the fiend he stares at had eaten his complementary pudding! Sure, alcohol was involved with why he got so enraged, but he wouldn't let him step down from a challenge he issued. In this moment, despite the foolishness of it all, he was ready to fight to the death, and would fight with pride. Arms crossed, looking at her with a taunting smile, "I wish you the best of luck, and hope you do not die!"

[OOC: Alright, you're completely outclassed, but this is not going to be a one shot fight or anything, what we'll be going through is correct use of techniques like shunshin, and prepping you for timing with hand seals and other such battle techniques.]

Atsui died a little inside at the males idiocy. Hanging her head in shame and trying to imagine a world where the collective IQ was more than a single digit number, but it seemed the more people she met, the more difficult it became for her not to be cynical about her life. He was certainly trying her patience, but that was fine, it was fine, he would be dead soon, but she was no longer going to grace him with remembering his name, he would die and rest at the bottom of the lake for eternity, the wild life of the water stripping his flesh from his bones, feasting on his nutrients. That was of course, if there was anything left of him in the end. Her blade would slip from its hold, a loose grip on the weapon as she held it by her side, looking at the idiot fifteen meters away from her. It would ignite, the flames small at first, but soon they would flare a brilliant, almost white color, making the water close to her begin to steam due to its immense temperature. The core temperature of her body would raise to such a degree that even touching her would bring a lot of pain to his body, and she would steel herself, literally, as her chakra coated her body.

Untouchable.

It certainly was not her that he should have been hoping for, if he was lucky, he would make an escape, but to where? The sand on the beach would only prove to be his burial ground, and the waters would not help him either, all his posturing and his mocking, it was nothing more than a front for a scared child in the face of a demon, practically a god in front of him.

SPOILER: Click to show

Akumahi Ken [Demonic Flame Blade]
Rank: "D" "C" "B" "A" "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to focus and run flames down their Ryūjin Jakka.
Special: A focusing of chakra that takes five seconds to complete. The amount of time it takes for the technique to activate is reduced by one second at each progressive rank. [Ex: "D" = 5 seconds, "B" = 3 seconds, "S" = 1 second.] This technique must be active
Drawback: Every rank of the Akumahi Ken requires the same rank of Heat Resilience. Drains chakra as the user is forced to replace flames used by swinging the sword or using the techniques of the weapon. The Akumahi Ken flames may be put out with a sufficient amount of water. Drains an "E" Rank amount of chakra per turn for every rank that the user has active (This means at "D" Rank, one "E" per turn. At "B" Rank, 3 E's or 1.5 D ranks per turn, and at "S" 5 E's, or 1.25 C's.]
Description: By focusing a large amount of chakra around the blade, the user will then create a raging inferno around the blade of the Ryūjin Jakka.

At "D" Rank, the flames are only minimal, a small outline of flame around the sword with possesses little heat, capable only of small burns, reminiscent of a tiny candle and is quite easily put out. The sword is only capable of using up to one "D" rank attack before extinguishing.

At "C" Rank, the flames have increased slightly, creating a larger outline of fire around the blade. The heat has also increased, and thus the amount of damage that the sword is capable of creating is dramatically increased. At will, the user may decrease the strength of the flame to a lower level, but it may not be returned to "C" Rank strength for one complete turn. The sword is only capable of using up to one "C" Rank before extinguishing, otherwise the flames will passively recover at a rate of one rank per turn.

At "B" Rank, the flames of the sword expand outwards, creating a fire that can reach outwards by as far as six inches. The heat also dramatically increases from that of the "C" Rank, making it far more powerful a weapon to strike with. Because of the extended flames, the sword seemingly becomes a larger sword, making it more capable of striking an opponent. At will, the user may decrease the strength of of the flame to a lower level, but it may not be returned to "B" Rank strength for one complete turn for every rank that it would travel through. The sword is only capable of using up to one "B" Rank before extinguishing, otherwise the flames are capable of rekindling at a rate of one rank per turn.

At "A" Rank, the flames radiate off the blade of the sword intensely. The heat from the flames is like that of a burning building, and the fires extend outwards as far as 1.5 feet. These flames can be focused upon, allowing them to contract down to as far as six inches, and then expand them again to the maximum size. At will, the user may decrease the strength of the flame to a lower level, but it may not be returned to "A" Rank strength for one complete turn for every rank that it would have to travel though. The sword is only capable of using up to one "A" rank before extinguishing, otherwise the blade is capable of rekindling at a rate of two ranks per turn.

At "S" Rank, the flames of the sword can become reminiscent of a small sun. Capable of reaching outwards for a total of five feet from the blade, the sword itself can be extremely dangerous to even the user, who is much more adept at resisting the heat than the average user. Usually, though, the flames exist around 3 feet from the user, but can be contracted and thus expanded upon at the user's whim. The heat from the fires can reach that of 'white fire', which is the hottest form of fire. Simply being around such hot flames is often dangerous to the opponent, and is capable of burning an opponent with the smallest of burns at even a range of five feet. At will, the user may decrease the strength of the flame to a lower level, but it may not be returned to "A" rank strength for one complete turn for every rank that it would have to travel though. At this rank, a small layer of chakra is required of the user to maintain so that their weapon does not melt. At this stage, the flames are so immense that they cannot be completely used up, meaning that only the way for the Akumahi Ken to fail is for the user to put it out or for it to be completed submerged in a grand amount of water.
Limit: Requires the Ryūjin Jakka.

Temperature Control
Rank: C, B, A
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to effectively control their body temperature.
Special: ---
Drawback: Skill rank must be one below, or higher than the jutsu rank desired. Ex: A B rank may learn A rank temperature control, however a C rank may not.
Description: Upon reaching the age of 5, all children of the Airontoku are taught the basics for manipulating and controlling body temperature. A key essential for all members of the clan, such a technique has various stages which allow higher temperatures to be used. Both B and A rank are strictly reserved for those who enter the military however. At C rank, the user may control his or her body temperature only to twice the average human body temperature. (97.6 degrees F., aka up to 195.2 degrees F.) Upon entering the military, they may be taught B rank which allows use other more offensive techniques (3 times the average human body temperature). Only the most skilled are able to master A rank, which opens a wider variety of techniques (4 times the average human body temperature). The higher the mastery, the higher placed in society one is considered.
Limit: Must be of the Airontoku

Heat Resilience
Rank: D, C, B, A, S
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: Over time, the user becomes immune to certain degrees of fire jutsu based on strength.
Special: ---
Drawback: The highest rank one is able to know is equal to skill rank. Ex: To learn B rank Heat Resilience, you must be B rank.
Description: With mastery over the arts and skilled manipulation over their own body temperatures, those of the Airontoku develop an affinity for the heat and grow more physically immune to flames. Each rank allows immunity to flames and fire of jutsu one rank below their own skill rank. Ex: If a B rank were to train B rank Heat Resilience, they would become immune to all C rank fire jutsu.
Limit: Must be of the Airontoku

Ironhide
Rank: C, B
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The skins of members born to the Airontoku become naturally toughened and resistant to sharp objects and weapons.
Special: ---
Drawback: Does not provide resistance to blunt weapons, which smash and bash rather than cut. Will not defend effectively against larger weapons such as great swords and board swords, whose weight will penetrate the skin.
Description: Over time the skin of the user becomes resilient to weapons to a certain degree. With prolonged exposure to the heat, their skin becomes rough and rugged, like that of leather, but to a much more durable degree. Weapon attacks such as kunai and swords become less effective against the clan. At C rank the hides of the clan members are able to endure projectiles thrown, while at B rank, they become more resilient to close combat weapons such as swords and other blades.
Limit: Must be of the Airontoku

Scorching Touch
Rank: C, B, A
Skill: Supplementary Ninjutsu
Effect: The skin of the Airontoku is grows hot to touch and can cause burns.
Special: ---
Drawback: Rank of Scorching Touch must be equal or lower to rank of Temperature Control in order to learn. Ex: A C rank with B rank Temperature Control may only learn up to B rank Scorching Touch. Does not differentiate between friend and foe.
Description: Due to retaining such high body temperatures consistently, the members of the clan begin to gain hot and tempered skin. Such skin, when retained at high temperatures for so long, can cause various degrees of burns, depending on the temperature maintained. Each rank of Scorching touch can cause burn damage equal to one rank below its own rank. Ex: If an enemy were to touch an Airontoku with Scorching Touch B rank, they would suffer from a C rank burn.
Limit: Must be of the Airontoku

Shishou no Koutetsu (Mastery of Steel)
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user the capability of performing Seitetsu Clan Weapon Transformation techniques without the use of Handseals.
Special: Must have obtained 500 TP in the Clan Jutsu.
Drawback: Only "B" rank techniques or lower are effected by this ability. The user still loses the number of movements that the technique would normally require.
Description: When the Weapon has learned enough about manipulating their body into different forms of Steel, they gain enough understanding of the transformations to become capable of utilizing those abilities without the use of handseals. In this manner, they will become capable of transforming in and out of different weaponry without pausing between the Human Form. This is primarily used so that the Human Weapon can transition between Weapon Forms while being Wielded by a Human Ally Specialist.
Limit: Must have 500 TP in Seitetsu Clan Jutsu. When the user has obtained the required TP, this ability is gained automatically.

Koutetsu no Karada (Steel Body)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary in Weapon Form.
Effect: Determines the durability of the user's Steel Body.
Special: "Hand Seals", supplementary in Weapon Form.
Drawback: The more durable the body is, the less speed that the user has. The speed is of the user is reduced by one Difficulty Class from their current Difficulty Class for every Rank of the technique that the user has active. If at any point the user's Difficulty Class for movements reduces below "D" Rank, they will be considered to have zero movements per turn, unless they are performing the required handseals to obtain a lower Durability.
Description: The Koutestu no Karada, or the Steel Body, is the understanding of just how powerful the user's steel has become. The Steel of the body is capable of resisting up to one strike of the same Rank as it before becoming injured. This technique, while not in weapon form, can be modified around, due to the fact that the lower the ranking, the faster that the user is capable of moving with less training. When the user has transformed into Weapon Form, they will automatically take the highest rank of this ability in order to state their durability.
Limit: Must have Koutetsu Katansei of the same rank.

Karada Sumiyaka (Body Speed)
Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to learn to move at speeds equivalent to their Difficulty Class.
Special: ---
Drawback: Must learn the technique for every rank of Koutetsu no Karada or else the user will suffer from movement penalties.
Description: This specialized form of training is given to those individuals within the Seitetsu Clan. Upon becoming an individual with the Steel Body technique, the user's own speeds will dramatically suffer. This training allows the user to act as if they were unaffected by the steel transitions within the body, allowing them to fight normally. Each Rank of this technique reduces the Difficulty Class Movement Penalty imposed by the Steel Body technique by one Difficulty Class, meaning that if the user only has the "D" Rank of this technique but switches to "B" Rank Steel Body, then they will have their movements reduced to the point that they would move as if they were two Difficulty Classes lower than they were, instead of three. If they have the "C" Rank Steel Body, then they will suffer only a singular class deduction with the "B" Rank Steel Body, and the "B" Rank of this technique would allow for no Difficulty Class Movement Penalty for the "B" Rank Steel Body.
Limit: Must have the corresponding rank of Koutetsu no Karada.

[OOC: As I don't wish to get in some issue over what I have no idea is God Modeing or not, I'll simply ask would I be allowed to assume the rank of the sword's flame as it was never stated? The technique allows you to choose your rank of flame, but I don't know if it going unstated would be something I would be allowed to take advantage of @.@]

Jens felt somewhat insulted that the kunoichi remained wordless when he called out to her. Was he appalling? Then again it seemed she was just a battle person, as she went straight to it. He expected some sort of frontal assault when she pulled out her sword, but instead the water around her began to steam, catching him off guard. He didn't let him lose the opportunity to prepare the attack, and immediately began to weave hand seals. With the two seconds of preparation the foe's jutsu took, in addition to her focus on defending herself with extra supplementary techniques, he'd have the time to finish his jutsu. By the time the sixth was formed, twenty entities of lightning chakra, taking the shape of ravens, appeared to the sides of Jens ten on each side, hovering above the water one meter. After he finished the seals for that technique, he quickly created a three foot long bolt, which would be held in his right hand. This being another thing that no fear should be held towards doing as the kunoichi seemed to spend the rest of her time in making herself into a rather intimidating human fortress.

While he was practically ready to begin battle, he knew he shouldn't leap into it. The foe having mysterious jutsu, ones he's never encountered before. Fire blazing from her blade, her body covered in some substance, whatever it was created a glint that shone of it from the sun. He'd fight long distance and on the defensive.

Raiton – Raiu Karasu (Thunderstorm Raven)
Rank: Dx4, C, B
Skill: Ninjutsu.
Effect: Creates ravens of lightning to attack your opponent.
Special: Tiger, Dog, Tiger
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times in order to truly master. The swallows dissolve if they pass out of forty meters of the user.
Description: The user forms the hand seals, creating ravens of lightning around them. The ravens are roughly two feet in wingspan. The ravens are comprised of pure electricity, and discharge into a shock of electricity when they strike an object. Each swallow discharges with a D rank shock. The user can control the motions of the swallows completely. When first learned, the user is only capable of creating up to five ravens at a time. Each time learned, the user can create an additional five ravens. When the user attains to capability of creating fifty ravens, the technique increases to a C rank technique, allowing for an additional five per training as usual. When the user reaches the capability of creating one hundred twenty swallows, the training becomes B rank. The user can create two hundred swallows, total, before they max out.
Limit: Must have Lightning Release.

[OOC: I've lost my old Bio, so we're going to restart this, and I'm going to use your character, so then it's all fair. I've been playing a lot of NUNS2 and there's a lot of fighting clones, so there you have it.]

[New beginning of the fight xD]

The clone stood on one of the rocks, silent and unemotional, its true intent was only to destroy the original, and then it could go back to nothingness. The chakra construct possessed no freedom or self-awareness, it merely existed as a weapon, and the target. The male twenty meters in front, the base of its existence.

[Hopalong]

[OOC: Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit]

Jens stood on the water, not hovering, but using chakra to allow him to stand on it. Good thing to be able to do so, as the water would most likely drench his clothes. His brown baggy jeans, matching sandals, white undershirt with light brown vest with a zipper running up three-quarters of the way, a portion of his chest revealed, and brown thick gloves. A small breeze passed by, running through his blonde hair wavy hair.

To his surprise, he found a man identical to him in every way. What was this supposed to be? Every little detail matched, did he have a stalker, or some sick idea to have Jens meet himself? The only way this can get worse if he has the same personality.

Twenty meters away, he began to walk over to the clone slowly, cautious. He had no weapons on him, a relieving fact. In a rather frightened tone, but able to keep some manliness to his tone, he said, "Wh-What are you?"

[Beautiful Rogue]

Silence would meet the man as he asked the question, the clone was unable to speak, and had been created without the ability to do so. Still, while he was wondering what was going on, the clone would prepare itself, quick hand seals forming, and a small ball of electricity would form quickly in its hands, and would drop from his palm into the water. While the large amount of water would quickly disperse the electricity, anything close to it would easily channel the electricity. As for the true version of the human, well, he was just an easy path for the electricity to travel through. It was easily avoidable of course, but it was just the beginning.
