Second Sucks [Open]

[.:Ryo:.]

Walking down the street, Ryo wondered what had happened. Almost every building was completely razed. Those that were standing had windows crushed or boarded up. Dust and dirt were scattered across everything. Clad in his usual attire of simple cloth with just a bit of armor on his shoulders for stylistic purposes, Ryo scanned the area. His hair was a faded black-gray color, his eyes faded green. On his back was a large gourd filled with sand, a few cracks running along it and a cork screwed in at the top. He wondered who could've done this and, more importantly, if they were still lurking around. Standing in the middle of the street, he would simply whistle solemnly.

What now?

• No IIC. Just post when ya can.
  
• Post your intro and we'll get down to it!

[Okami]

Jin walked through the streets, trailed by Okami his monkey. They had with them a crossbow, 14 repeater clips filled with bolts, 2 communications devices, liquid crystal goggle, 5 light pouches, 5 smoke pouches, 100 ice tags, 100 exploding tags, 20 lightning tags, 5 ice grenades, 5 lightning grenades, 10 percussion grenades, 2 shields, a Tessaiga, 2 Shock enhanced piston gauntlets, 2 shock enhanced greaves, 8000 worn sheets of paper, 400 ribbons, and 4 paper cubes.

The monkey's arms and legs were covered with the thick metal armor, his face obscured by mask and goggles, while Jin carried the Tessaiga, 2 shields, and held the loaded crossbow out ahead of him. He waved it at an approaching Uchiha. Evil race, that one.

"Ah! It's you isn't it! You destroyed this place... You're the only one around, so it must have been you. Have at you, scoundral!"

Okami's arms and legs began to glow.

[/blockquote]

[.:Ryo:.]

[OOC: So. I derped. This is my first fight in over a year, so I'm still sorta getting the hang of it again. I edited my first post because I did a shitload of things wrong in it xD Sorry about that. Hope you won't hold it against me >_>"]

As soon as he saw the other, Ryo activated his Sharingan as well as his automatic sand shield, both being nearly invisible moves. Stationed down the street some thirty or so meters, the Uchiha knew he needed to keep a distance between himself and his soon-to-be-opponent. Accused of destroying this? Ryo barely knew any moves that could raze an entire city; this was done by someone even more powerful than the Uchiha.

Regardless, Ryo said nothing. It wasn't like this ninja was going to believe him no matter what he said. A fight was imminent. The cork to his gourd popped off and hit the ground behind him, sand spilling out of the top and cracks of the gourd. No, for now, Ryo would do nothing. He would simply build up sand underneath this battlefield and wait for an opportunity to strike. It wasn't like he could do anything, what, with the two of them at a distance such as this.

[Okami]

"Smash down that swift Hammer of Justice!"

Byakugan active, the Hyuuga screamed at the top of his lungs and unleashed all his energy into a single crossbow bolt. At 347 m/s the bolt flew, easily able to pierce Sand Shields, and indeed Uchiha hearts. It was with vigorous speed that another bolt was loaded, so fast that he sliced his finger on the bolt's sharp tip as he jammed the thing in.

Of course, there was a very good reason for injuring himself. Within his flaring clothes, tucked close to his belly, his extra Kumomusha arms already worked through seals. As they were completed he crouched and dragged his injured finger across the ground, finishing by directing it forwards in a ferocious point of shame:

"Kaneonuskatew, purge this villain with your holy flames!"

And that magnificent Couatl looked up at the Hyuuga crouching on his head from the great big puff of Sharingan-prediction-obscuring smoke that he appeared in.

_______________________________________________

Of course, Okami was no slouch during this time. As Jin fired his bolt, three quick shunshins took the monkey to 5 meters right of Ryo, just outside the sand's radius. The creature was far too wary to step directly onto a substance created by his prey. Keeping one eye on the sand underneath, he dove in with a grandoise superman leap. His outstretched arm was a powerful haymaker that could smash through both the sand shield and the Uchiha. Aided with the crushing force of his piston gauntlet activating, the fist had more than enough power.

Byakugan
Rank: C x6
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Allows the user
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 do-jutsu (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 Ju-ken, 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.

Effect: A punch in which the arm is whipped sideways from the shoulder joint with minimal elbow bend. The Haymaker is a technique in which the user hits with all they got for a knock out.
Special: ---
Drawback: Wild like punch, should be used in a combo. 1 Punch per movement regardless of Outside Fighter ability.
Description: The name is derived from the motion, which mimics the action of manually cutting hay by swinging a scythe. Since a haymaker's power is derived from weight transfer and momentum instead of muscle contraction, a long windup is required to generate sufficient force. The technique is an "A" Rank technique but has the destructive power of an "A" Rank technique because of all of the prerequisites. This means that if a Boxer Punched into a defense that is capable of holding up an "A" Rank technique the Haymaker is capable of pushing through the barrier. This technique is capable of being learned multiple times. Each time this technique is learned the Haymaker gains an extra rank of damage, turning an "A" to an "S", and an "S" into an "S"+"D".

Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This is considered to be a pinnacle of punching ability. If a user is normally flat footed, or punches in an odd position they lose power. This technique however makes the user's punching ability in its prime possession. This means that a user is able to fall down while punching an uppercut, or sidestepping while arching their back giving a left hook to an opponent's face while never losing any power within this technique.

Cost: 30,000 Ryo each.

[.:Ryo:.]

[Just PM me if I messed up. I’m sure I’ll be dead in this round or the next xD]

Thankfully, because of his Sharingan, Ryo would be able to predict at least some of these attacks coming his way. Doing a quick set of handseals, Ryo immediately hit the ground stomach-first so that the arrow would go shooting past him and straight either on down the street, or through the animal companion’s arm. While the shunshin was fast, the arrow flying through the air appeared to be much faster. With Soil Conversion still growing beneath the ground, Ryo would have to wait more before he would be able to do much of anything with that technique.

With his first set of seals done once he hit the ground, Ryo would roll to the left a few meters and recover to his feet. By that time, the sand from his spilled gourd would be right at Okami’s feet. The sand would create shackles around his feet and quickly start to envelop his whole body. The rest of the sand from the gourd would attack Okami, sticking to him like a magnet. Although he would probably break out of it easily, at least it would delay him. Doing another set of quick handseals, Ryo would use his knowledge of the water mastery along with Water Cannon Replica to trap the Hyuuga within a ball of water.

Special: Automatic when performing a water jutsu.
Drawback: It is easy to exceed your chakra level when creating large amounts of chakra- the amount of water needed will automatically be created when you cast a water jutsu when you are not around a water source. Therefore, if you cast a technique and you do not have enough chakra to cast both the technique and create the amount of water necessary, user is incapable of making the technique work.
Description: After spending a large amount of time utilizing water techniques, the Water Shinobi begins to understand the true composition of water.

[Okami]

Indeed, the arrow was faster than Okami, who had just started to jump when Ryo hit the ground.

But this target was quicker than most with his seals, and chains burst up from the ground in an attempt to catch his feet. What the Uchiha didn't know was that Okami's legs were deadly weapons, and his forward leap was the setup for one of his most deadly Muay Thai techniques: the Flying Knee. Before the chains reached his feet, Okami brought one of his shock-enhanced greaves down into them. Shocked and pummeled, the chains scattered.

The monkey could do less about the abstract control of sand particles; his pinpoint punches did little against fluids. He shook and wriggled as best he could to prevent a mass-buildup, but he couldn't stop a thin layer from clinging to him.

At least nothing had completely stopped him. He gave a firm flap of his newly unfurling wings and rose higher into the sky, intent on finishing the target with an impressive dive bomb. Just then-

A massive bullet of water hurtling in from the sky!?

___________________________________________

Jin looked at his finger and misliked the bleeding. He made a few seals and covered it with a firm paper bandage, along with the rest of his body for good measure. This Paper Armor would doubly serve as a nigh-impregnable defence. He also noticed chakra forming around him in a somewhat dangerous way, but body flickering on someone's head seemed somehow rude.

"GERONIM-blubblubblub..."

He leaped off the snake's head with a fancy dive, but was easily caught by the sphere of water. What next?

____________________________________________


Kaneonuskatew trusted Jin's judgment, but he wasn't about to unleash a torrent of flame before he even learned what was going on. He could at least sense where Okami and the so called "villain" were from within the smoke, but that wasn't near enough information. In fact, the snake did absolutely nothing until he heard a scream from atop his head and saw Jin wrapped up in a technique that they both knew how to perform. They also knew how to break it.

"Let me help oo..."

He channeled chakra through his throat, curling his snakey lips around the sphere in the obvious 'O' shape.

"Out!"

As if the word was a command, the sphere burst speedily from his mouth, back half smooshed flat, propelled by some unseen force. Wind, that is. Diatoppa blasted the remaining summoning smoke away in an instant, and Jin at the forefront. If successful, the water would explode against the sand shield, weakening it, and Jin himself would crash into Ryo. Making the best of it, he'd latch onto Ryo's shoulders and tackle him to the ground, remaining on top even though his world was spinning.

On the minus side, he'd drop his crossbow, and it'd sit in the sand-mud a few meters away. What next?

Hanuman Thayarn (Flying Knee)
Rank: C
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A straight flying knee strike capable of launching opponents into the distance.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture 1 of the most extreme techniques in the Muay Thai arsenal. It is similar to the straight knee but is performed in a forward leaping motion during which both feet are clearly lifted off the ground. The momentum of the leaping body is placed behind the knee, making it very powerful when striking the opponent. Used at the right moment, the flying knee can be a decisive weapon in a fight. The only difference between the straight knee and the flying knee is the leap forward. In the straight flying knee, power is derived from a leap upward. This move is easily performed in close range by jumping straight upward. The impact force of this move, however, is much less than that of the leaping forward flying knee. The most effective flying knee employs the rear leg rather than the knee of the front leg as using the rear leg enables the boxer to generate more power. It is best used when the opponent is off guard, in a tight spot, or pinned in a corner. For optimum results, the flying knee should be used when you are at least one step away from your opponent. Depending on the user's strength depends on the strength of this technique.

"D" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 1 meter in the distance.

"C" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 2 meters in the distance.

"B" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 4 meters in the distance.

Thermal Sensing
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where a snake may use its tongue in order to "see" the thermal heat off of bodies in the distance.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A snake has the ability to have thermal sense by flicking its tongue out. Snakes use this as a way of sight for most of the time. With Thermal sensing it’s able to "sense" or "see" the thermal body heat that emits off of the human or animal populace. Since Humans and animals well warm blooded animals emit a distinctive amount of heat it’s quite easily to tell where one is at. When a snake learns this technique they are able to sense or see any creature that is within sixty meters in front of them. The snake is not allowed to see anywhere else around them, so this means they can't sense behind him. However, the snake is indeed capable of "sensing" behind objects within this range. This technique was devised for snakes in order to help them hunt when wanting some good food.
Limit: Must have a Snake Companion.

This technique is sometimes used to break down large doors, or to smack an opponent away from the user when the user comes into a bind.

Each class the user is higher then that of "D" The distance increases by five meters.

[.:Ryo:.]

Seeing the animal's legs fly through the sand effortlessly, Ryo already know the perfect move to take out at least one of his now three opponents. The sand would quickly re-attract to Okami's arms, sticking like super glue attached to a piece of paper. Once there, Ryo would shoot his right arm, the closest one to Okami, out towards his opponent. The center of his open palm would be pointing at the animal. Ryo smirked, though he realized he was going to be outmatched by his opponent in the end.

"Desert Coffin..."

With that, even if Okami tried to fly up into the air, the sand would have already been there. Besides that, sand is a fairly thin substance, and Ryo was more-than trained within it. The sand would tighten down upon Okami's arms until the sand went straight through them, destroying his arms and causing him to become useless for the remainder of this fight. All of this would happen just shortly before the Hyuuga would come crashing into Ryo. Okami had been distracted by the sphere of water anyway.

While his Sharingan allowed Ryo to predict movements, even he wouldn't be able to dodge out of this. Soil Conversion was still going, draining Ryo's chakra, so he knew that he would only have a certain amount of moves available to him. With Jin on top of his shoulders, Ryo did a very short set of handseals. Black clouds lifted off of his body and began to coat the battlefield with a slippery oil, including Ryo and Jin. This wasn't a good situation. A Tai-based user had managed to get this close to the Uchiha.

He probably didn't have long...

Sabaku Kyuu (Desert Coffin) [100TP]
Rank: "A"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: Chakra controls sand so that it surrounds the opponent or parts of his body, capturing them completely in sand. Only the face is spared to allow breathing. When the opponent is captured, they may be lifted into the air and may even be attached to something. When the user does this, the user has the power to instantly destroy the opponent if feels necessary. The technique is so precise that the opponent feels virtually no pain when the technique is done. What occurs is that the sand constricts and tightens around the opponent so fast that it quickly passes right through the opponent somewhat making the opponent explode, but literally just being crushed to a new extreme melding within the sand that kills the opponent.
Special: Raise hand upwards towards the opponent to grab, close fist to kill opponent.
Drawback: ---
Description: A technique that can be used against any part of the human body whether it is the whole body or perhaps just a body part. A technique where sand wraps around the opponent and is used to destroy the opponent's ligaments or even the whole body.

Black clouds will form, releasing a flammable rain of oil onto the targets. The oil is easily flammable and can cause Katon techniques to backfire, hurting the Katon user with the technique instead. Affects Katon attacks used after this technique is used and lasts for two turns or until a Katon technique is used that burns the oil.
Limit: Water Release

[Okami]

Okami was free in the air, distanced from the sand and able to react quickly. Unfortunately, he lacked the means for speedy lateral propulsion. The sand began wrapping around his arms, and he knew that once again his punches would prove useless. Snuffling in rage, knowing his momentary distraction had allowed his prey an opportunity, he scraped one sandy arm down the other. His left gauntlet slid off, along with the sand covering it, just as the two piles violently contracted. This time his howl was tinged with pain. He dispersed the now hardened sand on his right arm with his left fist, barrel-rolled to the ground behind the Uchiha, and backpedaled away.

________________________________

Kaneonuskatew was unable to attack while Jin was rolling around with the villain. He didn't want to risk hurting Jin, and still didn't completely understand what was happening here. But he did like the effect that the water was having on the sand, so channeled chakra through his elongated body. Water was formed and suspended in the air overhead, then began falling in a heavy rain. The technique was centred around the two wrestlers, and quickly began turning all of the usable sand into mud.

_________________________________

Jin was a bit dizzy for the moment, and didn't trust himself to let go of Ryo's shoulders. If he drew his hands back to punch he'd give the Uchiha the opportunity to predict it, and a chance for his sand shield to come between them again. Luckily, he didn't need to. Channeling chakra into this fingers, the paper gloves he was wearing transformed into long paper claws, and he'd rake the curled blades through Ryo's shoulder meat before poking them as deep as he could into his fleshy armpits. Uninhibited, the claws were long enough to reach the ninja's lungs. The fog of oil that he expelled at just about the same time was likely the last handseal technique the Uchiha would be able to perform, and would quickly wash off. Was it worth it?

[.:Ryo:.]

The Uchiha was going to die; this much was certain. Even with the animal companion out of the way, he knew that this was going to be the end. Doing only a couple of last handseals as the paper claws would strike, Ryo would release a small bit of fire with his left hand (freed since the Hyuuga hadn't tried to disable them), igniting both the paper and all of the oil in an instant. Even if the paper caught on fire and crumbled to the ground in ash, both Ryo and Jin were covered in oil. At least both of them would go down and not just Sand's Juggernaut.

Oh well.

Hanabi no Shinka (Fire Flower of Evolution) [5TP]
Rank: “E” Rank
Skill: Ninjutsu, Offensive, Defensive, Pre-requisite
Effect: Creates a small flower made of flames with six petals that are each six inches long.
Special: “Hand Seals”- Rat, Dragon, Monkey, Rabbit, Tiger, extending the left hand away from the body, then using the thumb, index, and middle fingers in a triangle-like formation.
Drawback: This ability has no real value beyond using it within a combo attack.
Description: This jutsu creates a flower made entirely of flames. The user performs the required hand seals, channeling chakra through the left hand’s thumb, index, and middle fingers. The left hand is then moved away from the body, and the three mentioned fingers form a triangle shape, while the other two fingers close like the user would make a fist. The built chakra then move upwards and out of the hand, sparking to life and creating a flower with six petals that are six inches long each. If the triangle formation is ever broken, then the entire flame disappears. This ability can almost be treated like a fighting style stance. Each use of a Hanabi no Shinka will require a set amount of petals to be used; after the petals have all been used, the ability must be re-performed. Any time that a part of the Hanabi no Shinka has been destroyed, so long as the whole flower is not destroyed, it will slowly regenerate unless it has been used for an attack.
Limit: Requires the Fire Release

[Okami]

Jin saw the blossom of fire, but he didn't panic. It was a fairly natural follow up to being covered in oil, after all. Leaving his claws in the Uchiha's chest, he leaped backwards, hidden arms already working through seals. A petal caught him as he moved, but the oil was diluted by Ryo's water and the heavy downpour, while his rapid backwards movement helped to keep it from spreading too quickly. And most importantly: Jin's paper didn't burn.

That's not to say it was a fantastic insulator against heat either. As the burning oil moved with him, he felt his skin growing red underneath that thin layer of paper that hadn't been covered by his shields or baggy paper cloak.

Then the burning, outer layer of paper puffed out. It expanded around him and shielded him inside it's hollow belly. Safe for the moment within the hovering sphere, he continued forming seals. Ten claws still stuck in Ryo's chest morphed into ten beetles, and they crawled their way around inside the ninja's lungs. They weren't delicate, and the made tunnels where no tunnels should be.

The monkey and the snake didn't do much.

[.:Ryo:.]

Even before the beetles were made, the Uchiha had lost his life. The claws, all of them deep within his lungs, and Ryo, being a part-time smoker, had died immediately after performing his very last handseal. The blood poured out onto the black ground. The ironic thing? Neither of them had caused the devastation that occurred in this city.

Just a bit funny.

[OOC: Good fight ^^]
