Awake at last. (Open)

Interesting. Nightmare said as the boy performed a nice balancing trick. However, as the boy began to turn in air Nightmare unleashed his jutsu. five plates would form, springing into action and coming out of both the gourd and his sleeves. This magic trick will make him think twice. The way the plates formed and the way came out they were now positioned around the boy and seperating him from Nightmare. They were also moving behind him.

This was because of the postion of both him and the boy. He had forgotten the gourd. Leaving it closer to his back but not full back. Nightmare had figured the boy would charge him. Nightmare jumped into action performing handseals. The boy thought that sand was weak in water. This is a true story execpt for one thing. This wasn't normal sand. It was actually iron particles, that looked like black sand.

The Plates may be used offensively by either being thrown at an opponent (at the speed of a normally thrown kunai, regardless of Hexagon plate level) or slamming into an opponent when they are within range. Defensively, the plates may block incoming projectiles by moving in their path way. If the user wishes to increase the amounts of Hexagon plates in use, they may undergo additional C-ranked training and gain three additional Hexagon plates. (Gaining additional plates will always be considered C-ranked training).

[tetsukokku]

(Yeah I didn't know so I asked around in the CB. Sorry for that.)

"Whoa..." Was the only word Tetsu Kokku could think to say at this point. Tetsu had slightly forgotten about the gourd, and he admired that Nightmare took that opportunity, however, Tetsu wasn't about to give up. The claw started losing it's shape before the water fell and splattered on the ground, "Just in time. Tetsu smirked as he now had his hand free to do with it as he pleased. These plates were interesting, but were they only for a shield? Or could Nightmare use them in some sort of attacking way? Either way, he was unsure and their was only one way to find out. Performing two quick hand signs, Tetsu pointed towards the iron plate that was coming from Nightmare, Index and middle finger out, the rest in as though they were making a fist with his thumb pointing upwards, a bolt of lightning at an unbelievable speed was shot from the fingertips, headed straight towards the plate closest to Nightmare. this should stun him long enough for me to pull this off.[/i] Tetsu continued his run towards Nightmare and performed a few more hand seals, he then spoke, almost as if it were an enchantment, "One of my personal favorites! Katon - Goukakyuu no jutsu! He stopped his movement as he approached Nightmare and took in a deep breathe. He then placed his fingers around his mouth in a circle motion with his index connecting to his thumb, and the rest of his fingers spread to avoid the flames, he exhaled as a giant fire ball formed in front of him, aiming straight into Nightmare. Shit, I think I might be getting a little carried away with some of these. He's a big guy though, and he seems to have some experience so I'm sure a little fella like me won't hurt him. He assured himself as the fireball began to take form.

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)

Effect: The user is capable of performing a few handseals in which gives them the capability of blowing a large body of fire in size of a large sphere that has great fire proportions and explosive capabilities.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: Depending on the Rank, is dependent on how strong or how much the user is capable of doing with the Goukakyuu no Jutsu.
Description: The user quickly performs a few handseals. The user then places the hand over their mouth creating a small like circle. This technique in turn is then to help the user control the great flame. The use then blows out and creates a large fireball that twice the size of a normal human body. When the "C" Rank version is first learned the user is only capable of blowing out the Great Fireball that is cannot be moved or go anywhere else. This also means that the technique does not explode in a fiery explosion, but burns greatly to anyone that is caught within the technique. When the user learns the "B" Rank version then the user is capable blowing the Great Fireball into the distance, sending it away from the use it to hurl towards the very opponent. This technique is only capable of going into a straight line and this is capable of having the size three times the size of a human body. This technique when launched at an opponent then becomes dangerous because at this point the technique can explode causing damage that is even more devastating.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Preppared as always Nightmare watched as the boy sent the lightning at the plate. However the jutsu he had already unleashed his jutsu. The boy would find that though his lightning would shoot at one of his plates the enitre field fo play was about to change. However, for this he would need aid. In front of the circle of plates would rise three clones of himself, all made of his iron sand. Not knowing that the lightning was [/i]not[/i] aimed at him, he would send his three into the eye of the storm. He then would see the path and true target of this attack.

The plate would be struck by the lightning which would rebound and attack him. Nightmare, knowing a little about lightning release would only be able to jump a bit off the ground, not but a few small inches as the lightning collided with his body. However, this would be enough not to ground him for the full impact of the shock, as he forced his hand forward and pushed the current into a nearby clone. The clone would fall apart at the shock of the attack. The other two however would run towards the boy who had performed another wave of hand signs.

The fire jutsu would be let loose upon the trio. Nightmare shifted his weight and moved to fall back as one of his clones went to shield him from the majority of the blast. The other clone would be taken out by the blast. The plates in the air would flciker towards the boy, something willed by Nightmare.

Ever so craftful, he was thorwn back but regained his blance and his hand seals were moving at the speed of a trained ninja. His chakra control had never been matched and he was still able to perform a few moves. The boy was better than he thought, the wet jacket he wore prevent him from catching flame. If this had been a dry day, he might have had to roll on the ground a little first.

Rank: C-ranked, (B-ranked supplement)
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to create Clones from Iron sand ("Satetsu")

Drawback: Very poor choice in in terms of stealth as the clones movements tend to generate noise in certain areas. Slow moving (See more below)
Description: By performing a few handseals, the user may command his or her Iron sand to solidify and form clones. The Iron sand clones resemble the user in ever form and aspect, but are made of Iron sand.

These clones have a high tolerance to physical damage and may with stand "2 C-ranked" Taijutsu based attack. However, these clones have a low tolerance to Ninjutsu based attacks and may only withstand "1 D-ranked" attack. Once destroyed, these clones revert to a normal powdered state. In addition to low tolerance, these clones move much slower then normal, reaching top speed that are .15 (15%) slower then the user base speed. When first learned, the user may create and control up to 3 Iron sand clones at a time. If the user wishes to gain additional Clones, they must merely undergo additional "C-ranked" training within Clones creation and gain One additional Iron sand clone. (Both in C and B ranked versions of this technique). Upon learning the B-ranked version of this technique, the user is able to command their Iron sand Clones with only a reduced speed of .10 (10% ).

Shit The only thing that came to Tetsu Kokku's mind. He felt really confident about that attack strategy and had high hopes for it's success. He felt slightly at ease as to see that atleast something had made a connection, meaning his lightning. Although severely weakened due to the ricochet as well as Nightmare's clever maneuver to avoid the full potency of the shock. Well, can't say i didn't entirely expect it to hit him. after all, the match had just started. Although yes, this was true, Tetsu had just released a pretty good series of jutsu, quite a bit, atleast for someone of his age and size. Just coming out of firing his fireball, (Again, pun still intended) he looked to notice the movement of the plates, he really didn't have a lot of time here at all. He jumped to his side in attempt to evade from the plate, but he was growing tired from his last full on assault, the plate grazing his side as he jumped, throwing him off balance and slamming him into the muddy water from below.

Tetsu Kokku felt like this little match was forming into what he would consider a friendship. He's not taking Nightmare lightly, as he never does any of his opponents for he believes that anyone could pull some awesome, or some dirty, trick to completely turn the tide of the battle. He looked up from the dirt as he coughed slightly from the graze of the plate into his side to see Nightmare standing behind what used to be clones, which were now merely piles of iron sand. He stood back up, though slightly wobbly with his breathing getting a it heavy from all the attacks he had just launched, he spoke to Nightmare, "I know you had to have acknowledged that attack atleast a little in your head. It was pretty clever I thought. Now holding his side which was slightly bleeding he spoke once more but with a little bit of a chuckle in between his breathes, See? I knew I'd have trouble keeping up with you." Tetsu looked up at Nightmare, still holding his side, with a slight half smile. "I'm gonna try once more alright?

Tetsu Kokku looked up at Nightmare with same little half smile/smirk as he had before, forming the ram sign, he pulled out another shuriken. The sun had begun to set as it was getting late and the day was fading into night. Street lights began flickering on in a pattern, light's could be seen turning on in the very distant houses which was signaling the time that most were piling up into the living room or kitchen with their nightly meals, watching television, talking about their day, the kids telling their parents about school, husbands telling their wives about their day at work. Suddenly Tetsu felt a slight bit of sadness at these sudden thoughts. For a slight moment he had let his thoughts wander into things that shouldn't matter or be thought of, it was things like this that would get him killed, if this had happened to be a real battle. Trying to shake the feeling away, he quickly looked back up at Nightmare with a much more serious and determined look on his face. Lightning struck in the far distance as the power surged, all the lights in the area blinked off for a moment, rendering it very dark to the eye that had already adjusted to the lights being on. With this slight opportunity of darkness, he tossed his shuriken at the puddle of water which was settling beneath the feet Nightmare, followed by a soft patter of feet running across the wet ground, which was soon covered by the new rain that had begun falling in the short darkness, he hadn't taken but maybe 3 or 4 steps before the lights kicked back on in an instant. He ran in an arc around to the left (Nightmare's right) and formed 2 hand seals, then pointing his fingers in the same manner as before, only this time directly aiming at Nightmare's face, Tetsu smirked and then moved his hand so that his fingers were aiming at the previously thrown shuriken, thereafter firing his brilliantly fast lightning bolt into the shuriken itself. A simple attack really, one wouldn't think much of it, of course that is given they don't know the effects of the 2 jutsu he had just cast, but Nightmare had witnessed them both already and knew just exactly what they were capable, so Tetsu hadn't any feeling that his attack would actually connect.

As his lightning was fired from his fingertips, the area around them lit up in a flash, just as if lightning were to have struck from the distance. This was expected, Tetsu had done this partially for that reason, almost for a dramatic lighting effect.

The boy had moved fast, however his move had messed up. He had moved closer to the gourd. The piles of sand was now there. Nightmare smiled, he had moved into his range of his jutsu, making it stronger. The sand would jump and attach to the boy. It would start to cling to him and then start to mold into a prison. The boy had pulled out a shuriken but that would be the only movement. The darkness the boy would see and feel would actually be the black sand around him. Nightmare smiled, the boy had done well, this was a very extremely advanced jutsu he was making him perform. He thought of this boy as more than some mist ninja but a friend, with a friendship forged through battle.

He would like to see if the boy could somehow get out of all the sand forming upon him. It is as strong as iron, and unless he knew the inner gates or something close to, this would catch him like a bug in amber.

Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to to capture their opponents within a Iron sand.
Special: Must command Iron sand to ensnare the opponent completely, then Hold tiger to form Maiden.
Drawback: Must be re-casted over a certain period of time. Must capture the opponent fully.
Description: The user commands his/her Iron sand to encircle and surround their opponents, quickly capturing an enemy in their iron sand. The user allows the Iron sand to surround the opponents body and completely cover their out surface area. The iron sand begins to reform and reshape into a medieval "Iron Maiden" solidifying into one solid 6 inch Block of Magnetized Iron around the captured foe. Only the eyes of the opponent are exposed during this. The technique is primarily used as a means to capturing an opponent and preventing them for escaping. The Iron Maiden is extremely difficult to break free from, thus becoming a favorite choice when trying to capture and imprison some one. The Iron maiden can be held for a period of 60 seconds (10 posts) before the user must recast. Over time, the Chakra within the Iron sand decreases, forcing the user to recast this technique once more.
If captured opponent is consider a Taijutsu master, this technique can only be held for a period of 18 seconds (3 posts) before recast is required.
If captured opponent is consider a Taijutsu specialist, this technique can only be held for a period of 24 seconds (4 posts) before recast is required.

[tetsukokku]

(I'm kinda confused on how that puts me closer to your gourd since after my claw attack I ran after you, your gourd behind me, you on front, then you knocked me down and I got up and ran in an arc around you from my left. Your gourd should still be behind me getting further away right? But oh well, I don't really care at the moment lol btw, I'm doin this on my phone again so sorry for any misspellings or anything, like I said before, auto correct isn always as great as id like it to be. Also, I don't like doing colors on my phone, it's kinda rough)

"Why aren't I running? Why did I stop? What happened?" the lights flicked back on and Tetsu Kokku dropped his shuriken at the sight of the sand beginning to cling to his body. "My legs are already bound?!" the iron sand continued to attach to Tetsu, rather quickly as well. Their was a little more to his fireball attack earlier, it wasn't strong enough. He couldnt stop Nightmares control on his iron sand. This is gonna hurt... he thought to himself before saying, "But you gotta go big or go home! And I'm goin' big tonight, I don't wanna lose this!" The iron was still clinging to his body, up to his knees, and solid too. He couldn't move them. Just a couple hand signs later, the iron had already climbed to his waist, a black aura like substance began spitting out from all around Tetsu's body and climbed into the air, Tetsu performed 2 more hand signs and pointed at a limb on the lower portion of te tree as flammable oil began to pour heavily from the sky, still pointing at the tree branch, the iron had clung up to his stomach and was progressing to his chest, he fired a lightning bolt with what little energy he had left and hit the tree limb (two birds that were resting in the tree fell as well but that is unimportant details) the tree limb snapped and caught fire from being struck. It fell into the oil that had been raining down and seepig into the dirt, the flaming tree limb hit the oil causing the entire area to explode in an enormous mass of flame and heat. Tetsu's plan? To screw up the electromagnetic field that nightmare was using to control the iron, without it, the iron wouldn't be able to be controlled, therefor, Tetsu would no longer be consumed by the iron. The heat was extreme, Tetsu closed his eyes and did the best he could to focus away from the heat which is hard when it's all around you.

[Nyu]

OCC: Well lol two things if I may. One I am very rusty at fighting. Two you did not give an exact location or exact area you fell back to. So it was open to my interpretation as I saw it. Sorry, give me a little on my reply I am creating my 5000+ point character and that is taking a lot of time.

[tetsukokku]

(Yeah it's cool I guess lol not in to big of a hurry. Though I must admit, when you signed in on a different name, it threw me off a little at first thinking someone else gad joined until I realized you were same lol and I guess my fault for not describing? It's been about a year or 2 since I last rped. I dont much care since this isn't a life or death fight xD but anyway, just reply when you can I guess.)

[Nyu]

Nightmare released his jutsu as it was getting dark. He smiled at the boy, he was quite good at fighting. "Very nicely done, I give up." he said smiling. He looked at the boy and motioned his sand back into his clothes and gourd having the gourd disappear. Perhaps next tiem we can go on a mission together? A team. One more and they could have a squad.

OCC: Just so you know, two hand seals does not make a jutsu. I am not a anal one but some are. Depending on the jutsu depends on the amount I believe for your level a C rank jutsu is 8. Higher ranked like S I believe it only takes 4.

[tetsukokku]

(Ooc: I don't really understand what your trying to say... I performed 2 hand signs for the channeled lightning strike because the jutsu itself says 2 hand seals. I mean, if I'm wrong i have no problem being corrected lol I was just sayin. And also, the whole point of that last attack was to make the explosion disrupt the electromagnetic field you were emitting due to the severe heat of the explosion, but anyway... Moving on..)

The sand had begun to fall back onto the ground as nightmares jutsu had come to an end, Tetsu Kokku was rather glad his match with nightmare was over for he was tired, very tired. As the last bit of sand left his body and traveled back to the gourd before disappearing back to probably where ever it had come from in the first place, Tetsu, now beat up and a bit burnt from his own techniques looked at nightmare with a satisfied look on his face. "That was fun." he grinned as he spoke, "We definitely need to battle again later, once I train more and learn some new tricks." Tetsu laughed a little as he turned and waved to his new found friend through battle, and looked forward to meeting him again later on. The rain had completely stopped and the night was growing clear, Tetsu then began his short walk home.

[coloer=red]"Glad to hear it."[/color] said the smiling giant. He bowed out and left as the boy did roughly the same. They left to later meet at another date.
