In search of Fire (Guardian Stone event)

[butterflyart]

Heading south from ruins is a dirt path which at the end leads into a deep cave at the bottom of a mountain. Along this road enemy shinobi are placed to cover the retreat of the general.

[Akira Shimura]

Akira continued to follow the bird it lead him onto a dirt path. He wondered exactly what kind of hide out might some bandits like these be living in. He kept on guard while he traveled in case of an ambush. The bandits would no doubt be expecting retaliation. Once on the road, he kept his hood up and his tasukeru activated. If an enemy ninja was around, he'd see them before they saw him. Assuming they were within 50 meters. If the enemy was going to set up ambushes, it would be on a road, so he had to have his guard up, even if it meant draining some of his chakra. With his Tasukeru he was able to scan the woods around him, the sky above, and the path both infront and behind him.

Tasukeru (Seeing Life) (active)
Rank: C, B, A, S
Skill: Doujutsu
Effect: Allows a full three hundred and sixty (360) degree field of vision and some predictability to physical attacks. Unlike Byakugan, the user sees life in its normal colors during this tech, no details spared. Signs of life, thermal readings and X Ray vision is near perfect. Can also read and determine the difference of a regular shinobi to that of one with a bloodline or if they house any foreign presence by the different chakra waves displayed when observed through Tasukeru. This does not mean one knows the BL right away. Must have encountered the BL before in order to know exactly who they are. The ‘C’ ranked version grants the user up to 50 meters of observing. Each new rank for the Jutsu will add 50 more meters. This can be trained multiple times after all the ranks are achieved in order to add 50 meters onto one’s total. Each extra training is worth an S ranked training.
Special: Although one is born with this jutsu, one must activate the eyes through training.
Drawback: Heavy chakra drain over time, especially when multiple phases of the Tasukeru are accessed. While Taijutsu can be predicted, the Onigami are not designed to have fast twitch muscles. As such, perfect blocking simply won’t happen all the time.
Description: Summoned through will, the scarlet eyes of the Onigami will grow a very vibrant neon red and all life becomes theirs to fully observe. Once activated, the user has a three hundred and sixty (360) degree field of vision, as well as the ability to see into other people’s bloods. For those allied to an Onigami, this jutsu is revered for making the Onigami known as the ultimate scouts.
Limit: Must be part of the Onigami BL.

[Zeakash Genkyo]

Jumping from tree to tree Zeakash was following the bird at a very good pace. He had only one issue, and that was the lack of trees around him. He slowly slowed his movement and walked down a dirt path. He couldn't see any ninja around him, but if these thieves were smart they would have at least planted one trap. Zeakash noticed that the other male ninja was also on the path nearby, and he was tempted to say something to him, but didn't. If he talked he might have alerted ninja nearby, if there were any. But he wasn't going to take any chances.

Looking to his left and right wearily he moved his right hand to his scythe's handle. Holding it lightly he kept walking, looking up periodically to make sure he was still following the eagle. 'Well' he thought, 'So far so good.' Keeping an eye out he kept walking down the path.

[Kaoru Ran]

It Begins

[/color][/size][/center]

♥---------------------------------------♥

She arrived and looked out at the other ninja there. Ran was not exactly a stealthy type. She and Yuuki did not look overly dangerous though. She could if nothing else be a distraction. She and Yuuki could be travelers. She didn't even have weaponry, what could be less troubling? She looked down the path hoping for signs of the bandits so she could follow the trail.

[deaaniaciu]

I followed Ran quietly and looked at her. I had no idea what dangers to expect. I looked around hoping id see something that might catch my eye. I tried to seem natural and if anything I think I was as everything seemed interesting to me. " How bad can it be?" I murmured to myself.

[butterflyart]

As the general continued to retreat with the stone he turned only to find that 4 of the ninja had found him. He was the slowest of the five generals and he knew he wouldn't be able to escape the four of them. He changed direction and lead them to a clearing at the foot of a mountain and turned awaiting for the shinobi who followed him to arrive.

Upon their arrival the short slightly podgy man would call out in a bellowing voice. YOU DONE FOLLOWING ME? I SUGGEST YOU STOP AND GO BACK OR I WILL HAVE TO MAKE YOU. He faced the four with a sour look showing his determination and brutality in his face.

The second die found the general

ooc: i just realized i didn't describe what i was wearing, so i guess i dont have anything on me :\ lets assumed im clothed.

Akira's eyes widened for a split second as he saw in his tasukeru vision a ninja running away from them in the direction they headed. If he was indeed within the 50 meter range Akira would see with perfect clarity all of the equipment worn by the bandit general. There was no need to warn the others because the general appeared to be just up the road and easily seen by the naked eye.

He immediately upped his speed into a sprint. The general cut off the path and toward the base of a mountain, he turned at the same time to try and cut him off but the general still made it. He was now only 15 meters from the general as he began threatening them. Akira was not one to banter so he would normally rush in and cut off the general without hesitation, but the positioning of the man seemed too... intentional. He positioned himself at the base of a mountain, perhaps he was an elemental earth user. He decided it would be best to simply wait for his teammates and assess the situation. There was a chance this guy was leading them into an ambush, however Akira diligently scanned the area and would see anyone within 50 meters of him.

Akira was aware of how intimidating his glowing blood red eyes were so he stood there, and stared emotionlessly into the soul of the enemy who taunted him intending to instill some kind of fear into the enemy.

[Zeakash Genkyo]

Noticing the General ahead of him Zeakash began to speed up the pace, running after the rather short man while maneuvering his scythe out of his cloak. He would try but fail to catch up to the man and they would end up in the front of a large cave, at the base of a mountain. 'The mission said that the stones amp up chakra of a certain nature. There's no fire here, so why would the General bring us to a mountain.' The boy thought as the General went through his insults.

'Well the best thing to do right now would be to surround him.' Zeakash thought, moving his hands into the rabbit seal and hopping slightly up, pushing his chakra to the back of his feet he shot forward. He made a large slightly upward arc around the General, but halfway he moved chakra from his core to his scythe, and then slashed that out in a deadly sharp Bukisuraisu aimed at the General's chest. After that, weither his attack hit or not, Zeakash planned to land behind the General, blocking him from entering the cave.

[deaaniaciu]

I had noticed the opponent but since I know i was probably the weakest among all I didn't give much thought about attacking. I stood there watching those around and then ran towards the guy with red eyes stopping behind his back and looking at this back i began to speak:

" I can't do much and I don't know much but if there is anything I could help with please tell me." I said unsure as I watched the other one engage in combat.

There was not much I know so I just stood there waiting for an answer and praying I won't be targeted too soon.

[butterflyart]

The first attack was launched and he quickly jumped into the air dodging with ease, following on from this he weaved the handsigns and launched his attack, Hot ash breath. He knew that there were two others in the woods but for now he would just deal with the two currently attacking him. The ash would spread down quickly ready to ingulf them. Being cock as he was he was sure this would get him and didnt perform a follow up attack.

SPOILER: Click to show

Fire Style: Hot Ash Breath.
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Allows the user to expel hot ash from their mouth onto their targets to cause great burns to their body.
Special: Dog, Dragon, Boar, Tiger
Drawback: The User could easily be caught within the technique, burning himself within the hot ash. This technique does not discriminate between friend and foe. Only lasts for one post before diminishing into the air.
Description: User forms the needed hand seals and focuses chakra to their throat and mouth. Inhaling, the user releases a large wave of steaming hot black ash from their mouth, out towards the opponent. The ash quickly covers an area of 10 meters wide and 20 meters in front of them, leaving the hot ash in a 30 meter Cone expelling from the user, 8 feet high into the air, in about 1 second. This ash hinders all sight while active, except DouJutsu. However only remains within the air for one turn (6 Seconds). This ash upon contact, will instantly burn whoever is caught within, leaving second degree burns (B Rank Damage) along the effected body parts.
Limit: Fire Release

[Akira Shimura]

ooc: could you do me a favor and list his items? i plan on looting and akira can see them with his tasukeru already as it is.

The man jumped into the air to dodge the attack and started making handseals. Akira began making handseals as well. Akira saw his enemie's trajectory quickly leaped to a position 10 meters from the landing spot of the guy prepping a technique. Akira's shadow would begin to bend and shoot out like a piece of gum being stretched over a long distance toward the position the man was going to land on. It would take 2-2.5 second from the get go to get off akira's technique, so this means it is either going to get there are the same time as the man lands (akira's intention) or a little after (depending on how long it take him to fall).

Akira's movement would cause him to evade damage from the enemy's technique (assuming its trajectory stayed on his original position), but kept a cautious eye for any other quick moves. Akira waited to see if the technique worked, and kept himself ready to react to any movement from his enemy if it did not. He did not want to go toe to toe without weapons.

Kagemane no Jutsu (Shadow Imitation Technique)
Rank: "C" (learned once)

Special: "Holds Rat Seal" Technique performs after length of normal handseals.
Drawback: Tiring to use repeatedly. The ability is subject to some form of diminishing return and decreases in potency after repeated use.

A particularly strong opponent can also resist the shadow's forced imitation. May only change directions within the span of 60 degrees. When retracting the technique it may only retract by retracing where it has gone.
Description: Once the user's shadow comes in contact with the target's shadow, the two merge and the target is forced to imitate the user's movements. The user and the target could both throw a kunai. It is recommended to keep all weapons in areas where they normally don't keep them.

Fight!

♥---------------------------------------♥

Perhaps it was surprising since it seemed like she hadn't been paying attention... but in truth she was preparing. Her hands were making their way through a set of seals and leaves rose into the air. One shot past the general, raking at his skin, while the other spun a cage around him, constantly moving and dangerously close to his skin. Perhaps that would trap him.

[Kaoru Ran]

Stand Alone

[/color][/size][/center]

♥---------------------------------------♥

Her cage had effectively trapped him. She let the leaves spike inwards, their sharpened edges cutting at his throat while the bulk of the leaves stayed in place, keeping him from escape. Sweat began to rise upon her brow as she fought for the exact control of the leaves. Keeping them going for such a time was a little bit exhausting but she was not about to give up to be kidnapped or raped by some jerk!

[butterflyart]

[ooc- sorry about the late reply]

The cage had him trapped with the leaves slashing down at his throat. He would grin as they cut into him, he couldn't merely walk out of the cage but the leaves had weakened him already. With his injuries he knew he wouldn't be able to take out each member here but he would try. He would weave the hand signs and the fire wave technique would begin. It would surge through burning away at the leaves and spread out towards all the other opponents.[/blockquote]

Fire Style: Fire Wave Technique
Rank: B
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Sends out a burst of fire that goes out like a circle. The flames start off near the user’s feet, very small, and then move out about fifteen feet and end being about ten feet tall.
Special: Snake, Dog, Monkey, Ram, Tiger, Dragon, placing both hands on the ground.
Drawback: The user places both hands on the ground, making them more vulnerable to incoming attacks. Beyond that, this technique is guaranteed to singe the hands with just one use, resulting in slower creation of handseals and other finger movements.
Description: The user performs the handseals and then slams both hands on the ground. A burst of fire in the shape of a circle bursts from around the user, starting off small, about three inches of fire, but growing rapidly as it moves outwards. The ending result of the blaze is fifteen feet in diameter and ten feet high. The flames themselves last only three seconds after moving across the ground unless they manage to catch something on fire.
Limit: Fire Barrier Technique, Phoenix Orb Technique, Fire Release

[Akira Shimura]

Akira's technique appeared to miss but his partner's hit and had at least momentarily trapped the enemy. The bandit would waste no time in starting another jutsu from within his confinement. The man was likely in a state of mind where he had nothing to lose. This was most likely the man's most powerful technique, his last resort, since anyone would excpet that he would be finished, and this was his final defense.

With this in mind akira jumped at the man in the cage of leaves and yelled to his teammate to deactivate the jutsu."stop the technique!" he yelled as he jumped. His tasukeru took in each detail of the pattern of the handseals of his enemy. Just as he landed in front of the bandit he reached at the man's hands as he was creating the tiger handseal. The tiger seal involved putting your two index fingers together which was the perfect opportunity to interrupt the technique. With his right hand he grabbed the man's index fingers to stop him from finishing the technique. With his left hand he jabbed at the man's adam's apple with his index and middle finger to jam it into his throat and incapacitate the man's breating for a few moments.

Immediately after this, assuming all went according to plan, he jumped a few meters back and performed kagemane no jutsu. His shadow would shoot out from its position and hopefully latch onto his enemy's within moments of the technique's completion. This was restrict all movements and hopefully allow them to fully restrain their enemy without the use of techniques.

Akira scanned the man over with his tasukeru, and looked for any weapons or equipment he had on him with his x-ray vision.
