Scary members helping the timid! [Open]

[dubcheck]

TOnou walked into the arena, it was a simple plain platform that expanded for miles. surrounding the platform was an endless ocean. the platform was about 100 yards of pure dirt from end to end in a circumference. Tonou had all the items he had one him, and was ready to fight. He stood at one far end of the arena, his opponent would be at the other end about 100 yards from Tonou. This was a fight to the death, but only but a dream to the Hozuki...or perhaps a nightmare.

ooc:This is simply practice, so just help me to learn how to fight here. I want to be like you one day and have the skillz to kill!

[Haku Genkyo]

OOC: I'm a bit confused because at first you say the platform is miles across and then you specify that it's only 100 yards. So I've taken it as if this is a giant barge on the ocean and in the center is a starting platform 100 yards wide.

As discussed in pm's:

Battle Rules:

Every time a killing blow is dealt the world blacks out/white's out and characters reappear back at their original starting positions. The character will experience the full feelings of death (in as much detail as you desire). The original position consists of Haku yelling "Let's not keep them waiting any longer!" and Tonou looking on.

Anyone who joins this thread will start off observing this phenomenon meaning they have witnessed the fight maybe even moved closer but suddenly reappear back at the start of Tonou and Haku's fight.

The only way to leave the thread is through suicide, the idea is for the characters to eventually come to this realization after countless bouts.

IC:

The male had been called out to the middle of no where for what he saw as a pretty poor reason. However orders were orders and as a Shinobi you always carried out your orders with no exceptions. He stepped off of the edge of the ship which he had used to take him here. Landing into a little row boat, Haku was rowed not ashore but to a large platform which floated on the seas. A battleground, where Shinobi came to die, seeking only glory and honor in their mission. This battleground was notorious for no one who went returned. Only one report ever got back to Konoha the shinobi had committed suicide.

Once the boat got close to the platform Haku's heart began to race, Calm yourself he thought as he took that irreversible first step onto the platform. The sailor turned the boat around and made his way back to ship. The captain stood at the stern and look at him, waving a good bye. Before setting sail and moving the ship off into the distance.

As he moved across the platform he pulled his cloak tighter around his neck, it was windy on the tundra. With just a flat plain from end to end there was nothing to block the ocean's winds from racing across the land. Haku had his tanto, stored in the curve of his back, above his buttbag. Stored within were Kunai(5), Shuriken (20), Explosive tags(8) and bombs(4 smoke and 1 stun). After about two hours of endless walking Haku saw a figure off in the distance. He paused, thinking long and hard.

It would be so easy to just turn around and walk away, he could flee the fire country it would take them weeks to confirm whether or not he was dead or not. Shaking the thought out of his mind Haku moved on. He found it odd that, he hadn't even felt fatigued, in fact, it was so sunny yet he couldn't even feel the warmth of the sun. It was indeed a strange turn of events. There were birds present, but no trees around for them to lay nests in, the birds only circled an area about 100 meters across.

Eventually he walked up to the motionless figure, roughly 90 meters (100 yards) away from him and called out "What is your name?". He waited for the male's response, if the man gave him his name he would call out again. "I am Haku of the Genkyo clan. It seems the birds are hungry for one of us my dear friend Tonou!" Throwing his cloak away, letting it be carried off by the wind, Haku adjusted his Jacket (BDU) and the belt around his trousers (BDU). Pulling his tanto out from it's sheath "Let's not keep them waiting any longer!" He would yell. Before starting his charge and preparing a Shunshin no jutsu .

Tonou would appear on a nice cool tundra land in the middle of limbo somewhere. He would stand looking off into the distance at nothing important really until suddenly it was as if he snapped out of some mesmerization. He blinked once...again, and then looked around himself at the surrounding sparse grass and the shimmering ocean in the distance as sunlight cascaded the land. "What is this place..." Tonou would say in a low voice of wonder. His strict leer would roam around his surrounding's and take in nothing but flat ground for a while all around and nothing but ocean. This was something of a dream like land...open wilds and clear air...

"What is your name?"

Tonou would turn around suddenly to find in the distance somewhere a hundred yards of was a man who seemed to be dressed in the appropiate gear for combat. Tonou would see this and find his own hand instinctively reaching for his senbon speed loader at the back. His green hair flowing in the wind which blew in radical gales caused his face to squint as the bangs got in the way.

"I am Haku of the Genkyo clan. It seems the birds are hungry for one of us my dear friend Tonou!" Throwing his cloak away, letting it be carried off by the wind, Haku adjusted his Jacket (BDU) and the belt around his trousers (BDU). Pulling his tanto out from it's sheath "Let's not keep them waiting any longer!" He would yell.

Tonou would see him come forward and begin charging himself not knowing what threat this was, but he was definetly a ninja, and was no stranger to sudden combat from nowhere. He would be ready to shunshin counter should his opponent try to get the drop on him, his chakra ready to release at the right moment. His right hand was on the ends of the senbon at the back of him, while his water bottles where hiding in the plate sheaths at both hips. They where hiddin from outright veiw and nothing about him gave away being a hozuki at the moment. He of course had all his two gladius's and his tebukuro gloves on his hand for maximum throwing power and accuracy with the senbon. His outfit was the new attire he had adopted since becoming Kage.

[Haku Genkyo]

Both Shinobi charged at one another, both seemed to be moving at the same pace. When he got close enough for an accurate throw Haku reached behind into his butt bag and pulled out several shuriken. Launching them forward aiming at the chest of his foe. As he was throwing three shuriken at once they fanned out when they left his hand. Haku threw them in a back hand motion so they were all on top of each other. The first shuriken flew high, aiming for Tonou's head, his middle one went straight the only shuriken to be thrown accurately, lastly the final shuriken dipped slightly and was on course to hit the area around Tonou's abdomen or groin.

Haku didn't wait to see if his shuriken had hit, as soon as they left his hand the next step forward he pivoted his left foot (front foot) ninety degrees to the right before pushing off his rear leg simultaneously sheathing his sword.Starting off in his new direction turned his head to look back at his opponent. If the man continued to follow him Haku would form handseals and perform his jutsu. It was designed to stop the man's progression toward him. If successful the jutsu would create walls of dirt all around the man. The only way out would be to break out or jump out. At any point if the man was trapped for now at least Haku had bought himself some time.

If the man was trapped in his earth prison Haku would stop moving turning around he began to form up his handseals. He was roughly 15-20 meters away from the man. Breathing in Haku mixed the chakra into the oxygen, lifting his right hand up to his mouth he exhaled. The large ball of phoenix fire moved rapidly toward his opponent. It would crush through the weak defense of his Earth Prison, having only been intended to slow down his opponent so he could set him up for the Goukakyuu no Jutsu

Daichi Kangoku No Jutsu (Earth Prison Technique)
Rank:"D","C","B"
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Raises Earth in a circle radius around the person of the user's choice. It can have a maximum base diameter of 3 meters.
Special: Hanseals, Hold Rabbit
Drawback: The earth prison is not closed at the top, so it is possible for the victim to escape.
Description: Earth rises up around the targeted person quickly to a maximum height of 10 feet, trapping them inside. At D rank this technique is little more then a distraction or simple defense, only able to absorb a simple "D" ranked attack before it crumbles. Only the part that is attacked will collapse, unless the structural integrity of the entire prison is compromised. At C rank it becomes much harder and resists attacks better, but with persistence victim can break free (1 C rank). At B rank the prison is extremely hard and thick, made of solid rock. It is very difficult to break and will reflect most ninjutsu techniques back upon the victim. Although this attack is only B ranked, its is extremely tough and will stand up to most jutsu, including all B ranked techniques. Piercing jutsu will be most effective in breaking the wall.
Limit: Earth release, C rank requires rock creation "C", B rank requires rock creation "B".

Katon - Goukakyuu no Jutsu (Great Fireball Technique)
Rank: "C" "B" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
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

[dubcheck]

As the two ran forward, they both seemed to be running at the same rate of speed and would clash soon, however his opponent did not shunshin and instead opted for a ranged tactic. The rush forth was a feint; the true intention was to get him to keep coming forward and run into the line of suriken his opponent threw. Tonou would look with a practiced eye, having skill in ranged weapons and aim. He threw 3 senbon with three quick swipes while leaping to the right in a mid air rolling dodge. He would land sliding on both feet, coming to a crouching position at four meter's to the side. Once here Tonou would watch as his opponent began to run back the other way, his sword...sheathed? But no there was no real retreat in the shinobi world there was no retreat...only tricks.

Tonou would take two steps after his opponent who had gathered about 10 yards distance and be gaining distance on him. After two steps Tonou would suddenly shoot forward at double his sprinting speed, sliding over the ground with ease as if he where sliding over the ice. His feet would leave behind a shiny sheen with each step upon doing this. He would have covered the distance to his opponent. Just before barely grabbing his opponent by the scruff of his clothes a rumbling in the earth and sudden upheaval of dirt walls would lift right under and between Tonou's outstretched hand, causing him to grip the dirt wall which rose up about ten feet, letting his opponent run out another couple of meter's to gain the proper distance to aim and fire another jutsu. Tonou would pull himself up on the wall and see the handseals being formed. There was no way to get to him in time, he had ran out another 15 meter's creating a range.

Watching the man summon chakra within himself and then spit out a great huge fireball, Tonou would leap to the left, landing on the ground where he would slide away quickly coming to a sliding halt some 10 yards from the explosion and inferno of the Mud wall's. Tonou would grab out ten senbon in hand and throw two; one from each hand aiming one for his target's liver, while the second aimed deftly for the left kneecap of his opponent. His talent at Taitoku style was keen, though that could be seen by the Tebukuro gloves he wore.

Suberasu (The Jelly-Man Shuffle)
Rank: C x2 (D rank Chakra drain)
Skill: Supplementary / Kekkei Genkai
Effect: Doubles user’s maximum movement speed and cuts their travel time in half. Though supplementary, ‘activating’ it will always use the default ‘C’ ranked chakra. When sliding over water, or if clan/bl mastery is achieved, chakra cost for the slide is reduced by one rank each; stackable.
Special: –
Drawback: Although the sliding is supplementary and does not interfere with the creation of other jutsu, one must consider the laws of momentum when moving at higher speeds. Rapid, sharp turns are virtually impossible to pull off without the assistance of other jutsu. Moving around areas without water will leave a telltale obvious trail of where the user is going, making them easy to track. Hozuki slot penalties apply each turn, with two slots lost per turn used.
Description: One of the Hozuki’s greatest advantages comes from their very essence, their viscous jelly substance able to instantly provide the user with a limited yet versatile source of suiton. In this case, the user is able to mold chakra on the same path that’s used to keep their appendages in place, allowing an extra amount of chakra to constantly cover their feet. This chakra allows the user to essentially slide or ‘surf’ across the ground at steady speeds for as long as the user’s chakra network can sustain. Because the water provided comes from the user's jelly, they can ride on any form of surface inclined or flat, as long as they have the chakra and said areas do not pose threats to the Hozuki's life - i.e. fire, thunder, etc. A telltale glassy streak is left behind, a smear of jelly revealing the traveling Hozuki’s next destination. An excellent and natural way of moving around and about for all jelly folk!
Limit: Hozuki.

Senbon Taitoku Stance
Rank: E Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: A way of holding senbon that adds to all attacks made with them.
Special:None
Drawback: Required to know for ALL other Senbon Taitoku jutsu
Description: Holding the senbon between knuckles but also holding their wrist back and the senbon farther up then most senbon users hold it. This adds to power and accuracy and allows the Senbon Taitoku to master their craft.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku

Senbon Sogekihei (Senbon Sharpshooter)
Rank: C Rank
Skill: Taijutsu
Effect: Throwing a single senbon from far away with extreme accuracy the user can penetrate certain parts of the anatomy that they learn in their training of this jutsu. By hitting these they can slow enemies down with a single throw, or even do minor damage from far away.
Special: None
Drawback: Only one Senbon allowed
Description: Using a flick of the wrist this silent technique can send a senbon soaring in. This does more damage than a random throw with the senbon and can add hit certain points slowing enemies down more then most believe possible with a single senbon.
Limit: Must be of the Senbon Taitoku, Must know the Senbon Taitoku Stance

[Haku Genkyo]

Haku watched as the man avoided his fireball, smirking he used the wall to launch himself up into the air and then jumped off to avoid his attack he was a cunning enemy. The man reached into his pack and pulled out something, Haku wasn't going to wait around for it to happen, drawing one kunai from his butt bag Haku drew it up to guard him. He threw something! Had it not been for the glint of the sun which was to their right Haku wouldn't have been able to see the senbon coming for his liver. He couldn't however see the senbon that was aimed at his left knee. Luckily when Haku moved to bock the senbon aimed at his liver his body turned, forcing he knee to move ever so slightly. The Senbon slammed into the bottom of his inner thigh however having luckily not hit any vital points it was as if he had been pricked by a needle, annoying some pain yes but hardly debilitating.

Grunting pulled the Senbon from his thigh Haku let the chakra run into them charging them up with his lightning chakra. He released them throwing them back at Tonou, his skill with throwing kunai's were on par with the best, his skill at throwing a Senbon not so much. Haku had aimed at Tonou's chest but the senbon could have gone anywhere (you pick where it goes, it could fall short hit the ground, hit you square in the face it doesn't matter). As long as his projectiles moved anywhere near Tonou they would discharge and shock him. Paralyzing him briefly or numbing him.

The genin wouldn't let the man go with just a kunai and a senbon. Focusing chakra into the palm of his hands a meter long javelin made out of pure lightning chakra appeared. Haku would hurl the javelin's one after another right at Tonou. The first javelin which was thrown from his right was aimed at the stomach of Tonou while the second one was aimed at his throat.

Finally Haku would prepare a Shunshin just incase he had to counter something crazy.

[dubcheck]

Tonou would watch as the Senbon he threw failed to hit the chest, but the other managed to hit his knee in that moment. The opponent took sometime it seemed, smirking and pulling the pierced senbon from his leg. During This moment Tonou would stand ready in the Taitoku stance, holding four more senbon in his hands from what he had grabbed earlier. He watched as his opponent seemed to almost casually charge his senbon and throw it at Tonou with a technique that fell short of his skill in handling these stealthy weapons. Sparks of electricity would have given away the needle, or perhaps the lack in power and aero dynamics within the toss. Either way it would be an easy enough target for Tonou to deflect with his own senbon-

Swish zzzzzcccckkkk...tsss....

Tonou would watch as the projectile flew just over his head, while two small arcs of electricity would leap from the needle in the smallest of nanoseconds, jolting Tonou with the effect of causing him to shake his face away from the needle which would pass by and pin into the ground fizzling out. Looking back, he would just notice he had caused himself to lack in reactions and so when he looked back his opponent was now holding and throwing a javelin made of raiton! Tonou would slide to the left sharply and then back to the right in a continuous glide, surfing around at high speed, double his maximum sprint. The Hozuki would strafe around the outside diameter of the distant 15 meter's and through all 6 senbon as he slid around, the air making his clothes ripple in the winds as he moved linear in a large cotation of his opponent.

The Javelins he would throw of raiton would miss him until he tried throwing one at a pre determined location. Tonou however would be aiming the six senbon to hit certain regions in the hope of slowly breaking his opponent down through pestering him with needles. These would be: The other thigh, both elbow joints, the neck and both the areas close to the opponents inner groin, where the gonads where located in a male. These spots, like the soft spot under the kneecap would permit a talented taitoku to probably pierce the skin and actually cause considerable impedance to agility by hitting the soft joint regions where nerves gathered in excess. The arms must bend up to perform jutsu at best, and the groin regions would hurt more then a well muscled area. the legs where the way of movement and with movement he would be constantly having to work around his opponents techniques.

ooc: Feel free to tell me if I'm pushing things into the ridiculous...so far I'm under the impression that I am fighting within the acceptable, but if I start doing things that are not possible or a bit god moddish then don't hesitate to tell me. I am looking to learn, not just to get some bogus win so i can brag in chat. For instance I thought I might be pushing the rising wall escape. I was not sure if it was exactly allowed to use that as a feasable escape. I only did it by connecting the Jelly shuffle to cover distance and such by reaching for your collar.

[Haku Genkyo]

Haku knew that the other male was launching senbon for he had seen his hands move, even if he didn't know where they were coming from, he knew they were coming and that was half the battle. It meant that where he was standing right now was the one place to not stand. His handseals formed as quickly as he could, below him the ground began to shake underneath him, instantly four walls pushed through the ground surrounding him.

If the Genin had managed to raise his walls in time before the senbon needles reached him he would be safe for now, but this was only the second phase of his plan. It was time to bring the bad boy into his court.

The second phase was disappearing, by mustering chakra into his body and pressing his hands and feet against the floor Haku was able to pass through the earth as if he were apart of it. Haku would move through he earth until he was fully submerged. His four walls of his Earth Prison technique still erected and his presence completely hidden from his opponent.

If his opponent was a sensor ninja he would be able to sense Haku's Chakra coming out from inside the earth prison.

Tonou would now watch as he circled around Haku that he would protect himself with that earth barrier again. Tonou would stop sliding to watch this happen and wonder why he didn't come out the top. As the wall's had risen there was no way for him to know where Tonou was, but Tonou knew exactly where he was unless he had some how moved through the earth. The Hozuki made some quick hand seals, knowing from experience that if he approached the top hole he might catch another big fireball in the face, and if he approached the earth barrier he might also suffer some sort of earth jutsu...that is if the guy could sense him come close.

The bunshin clone would ran towards the barrier and leap to the top, while Tonou would be kneeling in a squat focusing his mind, his eye lid's going low and flickering slightly as he extended a part of his own soul...He shifted into the ground, and traveled in the direction the clone up top ran along, this way he could see on land and underground what was happening. All the while Tonou remained at some 15 meter's away. What is the meaning of this?

[Haku Genkyo]

OOC: This is going to be a short one

IC: Haku waited patiently, his eyes closed so he didn't get dirt in them. His chakra surging through the ground feeling everything around him. He was like a trapdoor spider, waiting for his prey to come closer. He could indefinitely sustain this jutsu.

OOC: Now one thing I'm not sure about this jutsu and it gives no hints to whether or not a character can breath or not. I am assuming that he can breath underground.

EDIT:

Tactics: Sometimes it's important to waste time, it's all about forcing your opponent in an environment where you want them to be. As seen here there is not real environment but if you had techniques like your gliding technique where it slowed your opponent forcing them to come to you would be what you'd want.

Example being, if you had a technique like smoke guide which would make it impossible for your opponent to see you, you could then use your soul search to locate them. Sort of removing all vision but then being able to locate them.

[dubcheck]

ooc: This is an attempt at making an environment for my favor instead of rushing my attack. Thanks for the tip's, I never really thought about fighting with guerilla tactics but It makes sense and I'm getting an understanding for some of the techs on this board and ho they are meant to be used!

The clone would have traveled the distance to the Barrier of earth and leap to the top of it's vertical rise, looking inside to find nothing there. The clone would study this simply looking around the entire innard of the barrier and then turn to shrug at Tonou. Tonou would Let his soul rise it's head out the ground to see the clone shrugging and he would then have his clone jump into the barrier center and land with a thud, right above Haku.

This would happen shortly before the soul of Tonou would locate Haku in the ground underneath. Tonou's eye's would open and immediately he would form some hand seals and activate a mist which would slowly start to permeate in the air, until after a few moment's everything was hazy and in a little while there would be no visibility around for about 50 meter's. Unless his opponent had a sensory jutsu he might rise from the ground to find nothing but his own hands barely in front of his face.

As well Tonou would also have Began to perform another set of hand seals, causing three more bunshin's to form in the mist. Two would run out into the mist at random while the third would stand where Tonou was and kneel down holding a hand seal with one hand while placing another on the ground. Then the real Tonou would retreat quickly with his sliding feet technique, rushing backwards while performing another set of hand seals.

He was using a lot more chakra then would be wise depending on just how skilled this opponent was and the extent of their stamina, but tactically Tonou figured this would give him the upper hand...counting that his opponent could not sense him from wherever he had gone to, wether by some invisibility jutsu or if he had gone into the ground. If he came out the ground, he would find quickly that he would feel a bit sluggish regardless of his stamina fatigue, and without taking immediate action he would find himself unable to move.

During these thing's the fourth clone would have kicked at the ground trying to see if stomping it would cause a reaction. And Tonou, having retreated about some 30 yards from the already instant location to the barrier would be able to sense all the actions of his clones and any other life form wherever they appeared.

Rank: "C" Rank
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Skill where a user uses the water around them to create a massive mist to fill around the user.
Special: "Handseals"

Description: A skill which creates a very dense fog that descreases the surrounding visibility to near zero. It produces an environment perfect for a silent assassin who follows an opponent through sound. This mist can not be blown away by any type of Wind Jutsu.
Limit: Water Release

Kumogakure no Jutsu
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjustu
Effect: A skill that allows a Hozuki member to feel what happens inside of the mist.
Special: “Handseals”
Drawback: The user can only feel where objects are. Unless moving, beings cannot be told apart from surroundings. Readings are inaccurate if the user of this jutsu moves from their spot. Takes up ten slots per ten diameter radius.
Description: Like using the Kirigakure no Jutsu, spreading an immensely dense fog around the entire area, the user of this jutsu infuses the tiniest bits of water out of their own body into the mist droplets. With the tiny parts of their own water and chakra in the air, the user will be able to tell where obstacles are and how they are roughly shaped within an area up to twenty-five meter radius. This mist cannot be blown away with any kind of Wind Jutsu.
Limit: Must be of the Hozuki bloodline. Must know Kirigakure no Jutsu.

Kirigakiru no Jutsu Rank: C
Skill: Ninjustu
Effect: A skill that allows a Hozuki member to wrap the mist they’re affecting around something.
Special: “Handseals” – Hold the “Rabbit” Handseal.
Drawback: It takes a long time for the jutsu to have a real effect.
Description: Having their chakra placed in the mist around them, a Hozuki member is capable of restricting the movements of beings in the mist. With this jutsu, the mist is capable of becoming thicker up to such a level that it can prevent movement if not acted upon swiftly. Once the jutsu is used, the target would feel it takes a bit more effort to move their fingers and limbs, though still feeling natural. If the user is at the same or a higher rank, it would be difficult to simply move around, as if a strong force is pressing against it from every direction after half a turn. This takes one turn if the opponent is higher ranked. If the user is at the same or higher rank it would be impossible to move one’s fingers and hands and it would take great effort to move limbs after one turn. This would take two turns if the opponent is higher ranked. If the user is at the same or higher rank, one would be rendered unable to move at all after two turns. If the opponent is higher ranked, this would take three turns/
Limit: Must be of the Hozuki bloodline. No slots are used. Must know Kumogakure no Jutsu.
