Team Chimera Zero (PM to Enter)

[Lava Beneath the Falls]

Phyre would slide down to come to a sitting position up in the tree. She was position approximately fifteen feet in the air, trying to come to terms with herself. She was definitely an easy target at the moment, while she had her head buried in her hands. 'Come...on get a hold of yourself...Phy....why can't I get in the mood to fight?' she would think as she tried to get the nerves to battle. The problem with Phy was solely that she had never been in such an intense situation consisting of battle. She had her skills but she had yet to use them in a situation that would put them to the test in a battle. She wanted to be tough but couldn't she was the lowest skilled specially now, the weakest link in the group. 'Hell even Hickory...is showing more guts than I am...'

Phy ended smacking herself in face and then smacking her head against the tree, trying to kill the nervesness and memories within for the time being. 'I can't even get close to these guys...' she thought seeing Shigure walking toward Hiroki. 'Was this just some joke? Shigure is gonna team up with his cousin and have me killed off?' she was now over thinking seeing the way the older cousin just walked out. She would draw out her right sai, still having no clue as to what to do. 'If this is some test...to stay on the team...I'm definitely going to be cut....less its that sick joke...'

Phy still didn't understand where she stood with these two, feeling like third wheel. In which she did that upon herself to be, staying away from the two on purpose. She still didn't know the feeling of friendship and a simple spar match. Standing now in the same tree she looked down through slight blurred vision at the two figures down below. 'Maybe...they'll forget I'm even here...'

While the Genjutsu clone made its way to the open area of the yard, Shigure sat back quietly and watched the events unfold. He honestly didn't want to fight Hiroki or Phyre any closer than this, seeing as its been shown over and over that Hiroki was stronger than he, both mentally and physically. Phyre on the other hand, was close range with her sai's, and has shown her deadly skills by helping greatly in the last mission. Even though she didn't do to much, she still held her ground with the bandits. All Shigure did was stand there and by luck made a bandit pass out from a jutsu placement. If anyone thought they were the weak link, it was Shigure.

I gotta prove to them I'm meant to be a shinobi, I have too.

Just as soon as the Clone moved out of the forest, it was impaled by a very precise arrow aimed at 'Shigure's' chest. This made the boy shudder, thinking Hiroki could have easily taken that shot on him. "Well he isn't playing around..." Knowing how much Hiroki had improved, he could have easily pushed past Shigure in terms of skill and mental prowess, which made Shigure angry. His drive to succeed grew even further.

As the Clone appeared to be taken out, its form exploded into a giant cloud of smoke. It would look to the other members of the team that Hiroki had just hit a Kage Bunshin, a higher level Jutsu than what it actually was. As the smoke cleared, Two Shigure now stood in the spot. One facing Hiroki, the other, Now looking around for Phyre. Shigure knew that Phyre was around the area, but the clones were fakes, they couldn't see an opponent, they could only see what Shigure could, and that wasn't much.

The Clone facing Hiroki dashed forward, making it seem as though it was trying to gain close range on Hiroki, so the bow would be made obsolete. The other Quietly Stood at the edge of the wood, seemingly waiting for Phyre to appear.

Hiro watched 'Shigure' split into two now. He narrowed his eyes, trying to determine if his cousin had used a clone technique...or if this was just a trick. He didn't know how much genjutsu that the older boy knew, but he knew it was some.

As 'Shigure' started to move toward him he took one step forward in the water and placed his bow around his torso. After this he started to weave handeals. The chain was quick and as he did his skin started to crackle with lightning typed chakra. "Raiton: Sakurai" he said softly to himself.

Hundreds of blue-white specks jumped from his skin and into the air around him. The specks expanded and turned into petals created from lightning, floating in the air around Hiroki within a 3-meter radius around him. The lights danced and reflected off the surface of the pond, making it seem like there were more petals then there actually were in this technique.

Hiroki didn't move much further from his position. He needed some time here to think, and hopefully the cloud of lightning petals around him would deter the other two for coming after him for a time.

Phy hunched down on the tree branch attemping to see what was going on down by the pond. She saw some blur go towards Shigure and then poof there were two of them. 'Crap....this aint good....my eye-sight is really bad today...' she thought thinking shes seeing two merely due to a issue with being able to see distances. Though she in some way still felt safe up in the tree, which was why she climbed it. Being down on the ground she felt more like she was looked down upon, being up high gave her more a relaxation feel dispite some sight problems.

Phy was sort of grateful to a point that it seemed the cousins had forgotten about their third team member. 'Free-for-all huh?' she would think thinking she had no type of attack she could come in epically with. She tried to think of scenarios but was drawing blanks. She was good on coming up with something on a whim...when she felt motivated, but now it was all failing her. She decided due to sight reasons of not being able to see the other battle clearly. She was also tired of seeing tiny blur send blurs to taller blur and taller blur being more taller blurs. 'Blurs....be gone...stupid freaking disability...' she thought cursing herself.

She stuck to the top branches of the trees, gracefully going over them and attempting to not make a sound. Most that could be heard was what would sound like a squirrel or a bird flying away. She wouldn't go as far as peak her head out past the tree line back into the field of view. Specially since Hiroki was a long range type, she however didn't know that the 'Shigures' by the pond weren't the real one. Phy was still torn between not feeling she belonged, to having to play tough and get accepted.

'Maybe...they'll just beat each other up...fall unconscious and I win by default by waiting them out...or wait till their tired and I've yet to waste chakra....'

[Image In the Falls]

This fight seemed like a standstill, other than Hiroki now ablaze in a shower of what seemed like sparks. It was hard to tell from the distance between the two, but it didn't seem dangerous, for now. Phyre had disappeared in the landscape just as he had, and Hiroki was out in the open. It seemed like Shigure needed to think for only a second.

What to do... what to do....

The young boy didn't want to waste any unnecessary movements, but it had to be done. It was in his plan to eventually come out in the open with a horde of his visual clones, but it didnt seem like it was going to work, seems they were smarter than Shigure had imagined.

Finally taking the initiative, Shigure jumped from the tree bench, carefully taking steps in order to keep quiet. He was putting himself in danger by doing this, but it had to be done. Making his way to the lawn, Shigure came within arms length of the clone that was left near the edge of the woods, the other standing near Hiroki. It seemed his young cousin figured out a way to keep everyone at a distance. But where was the third member of the team...

Keeping a keen eye on the boarder of the forest, Shigure waited along with the rest, attempting to figure out what everyone was going to do next.

[Thunder Over the Falls]

Hiro's eyes scanned the field quickly, watching the different actions from both Shigure and Phyre. He no longer had no idea where the girl was, chances are that she moved away from her perch in the tree to somewhere else. While he looked about the edge of the forest, he noticed another Shigure emerge next to one of the ones that he knew to be a clone.

The Shigure clone close to him didn't cause much of an issue, he was more concerned with the edge of the forest. With the emergence of the new Shigure the youngest of the three drew another blunt-point arrow from his quiver. With a quick movement the arrow was on the bowstring and pulled back. He took aim at Shigure who had entered his range and let loose the bowstring. He repeated that action quickly in succession three more times, letting loose a total of four blunt point arrows aimed at Shigure's torso within the span of two seconds.

The petals from the Sakurai technique still floated lazily about Hiroki, and he hoped he wouldn't have to actually use any of the lightning techniques. He didn't exactly want to cause severe injury to his teammates.

[Lava Beneath the Falls]

Phy took notice to Hiroki grabbing for more arrows as the petals floated about him and the other Shigure or some one looking like him showed up on the scene. As the arrow was drawn, Phy ducked her head back behind the tree, keeping her back firmly pressed back on the trunk. She was afraid, this had been the most intense scene other than that mission. Even then, it was pretty controlled, and she had the motivation to prove to an unknown team her worth.

Phy listened intently, trying to hear the arrows soar through the air, and potentially hit the intended target or a tree. She looked once she assumed they were done only to see Hiroki had more that were gonna be fired off. It was blurry to Phy as she couldn't focus but she could make out shapes to tell enough it wasn't a good idea to come running out right about now. 'I still can't figure out any moves....this IS getting so pathetic of me...I can't even prove my worth...' she thought as she started to think back to proving herself then not wanting to hurt team-mates.

[Image In the Falls]

Continuing his glaring at his younger cousin, Shigure soon knew that it was nearly impossible to get close to him physically. Hiroki had figured out a decent spot to place himself, one that made Shigure take the offensive and Phyre to lay and way. Knocking out both Shigure's concealment and Phyre's range was impressive. Shigure had to think.

As he stood waiting for a thought to process, a quick movement from Hiroki's hand towards his quiver alarmed the young genin. Taking action, for he knew that the new form of himself posed the most threat, he aligned the closest Clone to Hiroki in the line of fire. Since the clone was just a Genjutsu, it had no form, therefor the arrow would still fly through it, even though it would seem to hit. Figuring this out the real Shigure dropped to the ground just as the second clone took its place right in front of him.

The nearest clone exploded from the first, second and third hit, separating into two forms of Shigure. The second clone in front of Shigure would burst as well, forming two forms as well. Hearing three shots in a line hit the tree behind him, the boy smiled. Using the clone's 'cloud of dust' as cover, Shigure stood after the assault ended, attempting to shift his stance to fool his cousin and Phyre, allowing one clone to stand where he stood, and he taking the place where the clone originally stood.

Without speaking, Shigure and all four of his clones smiled back at Hiroki.

[Thunder Over the Falls]

Hiro's eyes narrowed when he watched Shigure continue to multiply. I know I aimed right... he thought, placing the bow around his torso so that it could rest there and leave his hands free. The boy took a few steps forward, leaving the water. The petals from the sakurai technique continued to float around him, starting to swirl slightly.

"Hey Shigure!" he yelled, as he started to form his hands into handseals. Were it a D or C rank...he would have finished and used the technique quickly. However, the older boy would recognize this series of seals as the lead up to a powerful technique. While he worked on manipulating his chakra sparks started to dance across the scars on his body, following the lightning shaped marks.

Phy heard the succession of the arrows hit the tree, and what sounded like some clones disappearing. She tried to listen intently to every sound surrounding her. The birds seemed to be quiet now during the fight, the wind gently caressed Phy's skin. However spiders...don't make a noise, and if Phy continued to stay there...she would be in for a rude awakening. It seemed the arrows stirred a tarantula awake, and sent him crawling down the tree.

Phy didn't notice, and looked back at the field seeing more Shigure's and Hiroki walking towards him. She heard Hiroki yell, and for some reason she knew something was up, she choose to duck back behind the tree a bit, now and then poking her head around barely to check in on the fight between the cousins. However....that spider was creeping closer to Phy's hand. It wouldn't move any further than a foot from her for now, though this could pose a threat to Phy's stealth position if that thing should come closer, or if Phy should take notice to it. 'Welp typical I've been forgotten, and ignored....wonder if that's good or bad...not that it aint new...Rain civilians always looked passed me...' she thought.

[Image In the Falls]

Though he thought he had the fight under control, Shigure's grin soon faded as his teammate began another set of handseals. Taken a better look at the set, Shigure easily remembered the set of handseals from the time they had trained together. It was the A rank technique that Shigure had forced Hiroki to learn. Impossible...

Given the fact that this was a spar, and not a life threatening battle, Hiroki was taking this to extreme lengths. But it was a smart move. There were a total of Five of Shigure, and five tigers from what the boy remembered. It wasn't a smart move, it was brilliant. Shigure hadn't used it in his calculations.

Playing the best move possible at the moment, all four clones, as well as the real shinobi, would line themselves up horizontally in the small field, each one standing shoulder to shoulder from the next. The real body of Shigure now taking place at the very end of the line, the far left to Hiroki, and the closest space to Phyre. He hadn't forgotten about the girl, but She had disappeared and hadn't shown herself since. Taking time to look for her would leave Shigure wide open to an attack from Hiroki, something he couldn't afford to do.

Well... time to do work...

Suddenly, Shigure as well as his clone's hands would start to fly with great speed, forming handseals was second nature to the boy now, as his arsenal depended on his use of his chakra as a weapon. The five were in unison as they quickly finished one set. Within a second after, a loud noise of multiple trees began to sound from the area behind Shigure, deep in the woods. Since both Hiroki and Phyre were in range of the technique, both would hear the noise easily if paying attention. This was another genjutsu trick, but the sound was eerie to say the least.

Shigure acted as if the noise messed up his handseals, so each body shook their head and continued, onto another set of handseals. Quickly the boy attempted to stop Hiroki from using that technique, but he didn't know if this would even work. The handseals were complete, and so was the usefulness of the clones. For this attack would show which was the real Shigure.

Taking in a large amount of air into his lungs, the young genin molded his chakra with the air, perfecting the technique easily. This was one of his first techniques he had ever learned, and it was second nature to him now. "Dogou hari no jutsu!" Almost instantaneously, Shigure released the chakra filled air from his mouth, it forming as it left his lips into nearly a thousand or so Senbon needles, all aimed and fired towards Hiroki.

Got him!

Hiroki's devious plan worked absolutely perfectly as he dropped any concentration for the A-Rank jutsu (and with it some amount of chakra but it didn't matter) and started his hands in on a much quicker set of handseals.

"Got you Shigure"

The young genin's control over the Sakurai petals that floated around him shifted and as his hands sped through the seals the petals seemed to spark and start to swirl. Hiroki had completely lost sight of Phyre, since Shigure was actually standing there in view. He finished the series of seals and yelled out the technique about the same time Shigure called his.

"Sakurai Uzu!"

A flurry of blue-white lightning petals whipped around Hiroki, creating a shield of lightning that took the force from Shigure's wind senbon and caused it to dissipate. The collision of techniques created a dramatic breeze through the area, though Hiroki wasn't wasting any time.

As soon as the lightning shield started working he removed the bow from around his torso and pulled a blunt-head arrow back. He let it loose from the center of his shield straight at Shigure - who had revealed which one was real. Quickly after the first arrow came a second blunt-head arrow. Both were aimed at Shigure's stomach.

Phy squinted as she wanted to lean closer to see more of what exactly those two were doing down there. Her eye-sight for distance sucked to say the least, but her need for stealth and course at some point some sort of plan of attack was nesscessary at this given time. 'Should I even bother? Those two seem to have whatever fun...I guess ya call it...not used to having this...fun.' she thought as the only one she was ever close to was her sister and last fun she ever had was five years ago, she had forgotten it all by now.

The spider stayed about a foot still from Phy's left hand that was stretched up for balance while leaning around the tree a bit to watch the fight continue on. He basically sat their stalking the poor red head kunoichi. That was until a loud creepy noise was heard from behind Phy or really in front of her if she turned to sit normal on the tree branch she was so inclined to hide behind. The red head immediatly turned toward's the noise, only shifting her glance once towards the direction of the two boys. Her hands grabbed her sais as she hunched down into a huntress like pose on the branch. She prepared herself for what the noise might have been.

"Da hell was that?!" she whispered loudly but not loud enough for the boys to hear. The girl squinted not being able to see any movement that could have caused the loud noise. She crept foward on the branch in a lowered crouch position, her sais now in her hands, one pinned forward and the other in a more resting state pointing backward. Course Phy's movement forward caused the spider to drop down on the branch, in which Phy heard the slight thud come from behind.

She quickly turns about and at the very moment she caught sight of her eight legged stalker. Whether it was the shock of seeing one there or the fact of her quick turn around, whichever the case was she lost her footing and slipped off the branch. Only one problem was the branch was split and Phy ends up hanging upside down now with her left foot caught between the two branches. She had only made a gasping noise while this happened, but she ended up dropping one of the sais to the ground below, being she was at the least twenty feet up, the sai could make a bit of noise depending on what it hit.

She held onto the other as the spider was nearing her foot while she struggled to regain her footing. A slight squek came from the girl as she saw the legs start to touch her left foot. Sweat formed on her forehead, as she tried to hold back a scream, fear was truthfully in her eyes, as she wildly swung the sai she still had in her right hand. She didn't know what exactly to do. If she kicked with her right foot to free her left one she clearly have a long way down. Or she can manage to face her fear and kill the spider to then get back on the branch. For now Phy struggled with her inner fear, and thoughts of that awful night were now picking the wrong time to haunt her.

"Not good...." she muttered. Only thing else that would come from the girl would be a set of groans that probably were muffled from the boy's hearing range due to the attack Hiroki was doing. She now and then looked back at where the other noise had come from thinking she was in a shit load of trouble, and wondering if she should alert the other two that something dangerous was coming and they should get away.

(YESH Long post, I had awhile to think of this one x3)

[Image In the Falls]

Oh Shit.

Shigure wasn't able to comprehend that Hiroki had outsmarted him in this spar. It was impossible in the boys mind. He had the best grades, while Hiroki held the middle of the class in terms of academics. It was a little too much for the young genin to analyze, which gave way to the fact that the boy stood helpless as both of the arrows hit him in the stomach. His concentration broken so all four clones how dispersed in a fissure of colors.

A loud groan came from Shigure was he doubled over. He hadn't realized that both arrows had bounced off him, the collision felt as though he was skewered by them. Only a quick inspection from both of Shigure's hands told the tale of being unharmed. Though it did hurt like a Bitch. Pulling up his shirt, the boy took notice of two bruises already starting to form, it seemed the arrows had only broke a few insignificant blood vessels. But the spoiled brat didn't care, he was seeing red at the time. Shigure still hadn't come to terms of Hiroki outsmarting him. It was payback time.

"You like your arrows and weapons, don't you? Well... it's my turn now, I'll show you how to use weapons." A Cocky smirk appeared on the boy's face, as it seemed Shigure had a plan of his own. "I wasn't lying when I told you I didn't need to go get my weapons. It's because they were already here."

Shigure flew through a set of Handseals, looking around at the ground like he was counting something that wasn't there, which would give way to making people believe either the boy was crazy, or something was hidden. At this time the boy surged Chakra out of his body, allowing it to flow through the air, and towards his cousin. If the technique did in fact hit Hiroki, the younger shinobi would see the lawn at their headquarters as well as many of the trees, and the bank behind him covered in Kunai, all of which held Explosive tags on them.

Though this was an easy Genjutsu to figure out, Shigure had planned ahead and didn't bring any of his weapons along to fool someone with this technique, so he could have a way to sway the battle in his favor. Shigure now stood in the grassy field, confident in himself.

"This spar was planned by me, so of course I cheated a little, Sue me. I'm glad Sensei taught me how to conceal weaponry... Your move, ha... But I wouldn't move very far."

With the last statement, Shigure held the Tiger sign, as if to set off the Explosive tags at any given moment.

Hiroki didn't move very far from where he stood, in fact he had drawn another blunt arrow and nocked it to the bow. The boy held the weapon taut, pulled back and ready to fire with only a slip of his fingers. That said, the sudden 'revelation' of the many explosive tags caught him off guard. Without changing much of his stance Hiroki's eyes scanned the area, and mentally he was cursing himself for not noticing them before.

The petals of lightning danced playfully around him as he stood there, which was a good thing - it meant he had a defense just in case Shigure decided to make the whole area explode. That would be bad, and more than likely cause a crater where the house and ground were, or at the very least set fire to everything.

The young boy's eyes found Shigure again and just stared, narrowed to see what he was trying to play at. "I don't need to move to hit you Shigure!" he yelled back, clearly startled. He didn't like the prospect of being blown up in the slightest.

He'd given his full attention to Shigure, and had lost track of the female member of their team. For all he knew she could be right behind him ready to strike but with Shigure pulling this...he wasn't sure what to think. His cousin wouldn't blow everything up, would he?

Phy continued to struggle with her foot caught in the tree, the spider creeping up on her foot, the sound that she heard earlier and now suddenly she looked towards the boys, for a split second she seized her wiggling and looked beyond the trees. That was when the sun glimmered off the kunai hanging from the trees including one she was currently stuck in, but it was when she saw something waivering about that her eyes opened wide. Phy didn't know how to take in the latest 'threat' there were already way too much things on her shoulders.

She broke her silence.....

"YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!?" she screamed before regretting screaming so loud. She wiggled more as she now could feel the camera in her pouch bouncing around, and something inside her pouch hit the power button. Suddenly Phy heard her sister's voice being played. Phy now had lost it. 'Such a beautiful day isn't sister? Mom would be so proud how much you have grown.' said the voice on the camera of the now deceased Sesshoume. Phyre was getting angry, the feeling deep down was sadness, but turning into a lethal fury. Phy wanted the camera to shut up, she couldn't take hearing her sister's voice, not now anyway.

Swinging herself up, she lurched herself upward with right sai aiming to push the spider aside. She was blinded by her own self thoughts and disregarding her inner fear for the time being. It was a fight or flight decision, and right now she knew she had to do something, stead of sitting like a swinging pinata. She used every muscle she had including digging the sai into the tree to pry herself back up. She breathed heavily, trying to recollect her thoughts before leaping to the tree next to her away from the spider that most likely wasn't dead. At this time she would also reach around to her pouch to shut the camera off.

'I've been stealthy and observing long enough...' she thought as she started to do some hand signs for a c-rank style fire jutsu. Since Phy is inexperienced in battle she doesn't know as to how to approach these guys the most effective way. She slightly knew going full frontal approach was bad, but there was just no way to get a clear shot on em, least to her thinking as she never utilized herself to the max yet. Leaping from out of the trees, Phy was done with her hand-seals. "Hibashiri....Racing Fire." she would say as it would seem like hell fire would reign from the heavens onto the hopefully unexpected boys down below. Two streams of fire spewed out litterally racing their way down. Aiming for just in front of where Shigure was, and travelling slightly towards where Hiroki was.

She would attempt to land about ten feet away but in the middle like a referee standing on the sidelines. Standing in silence...wanting to say so much but only being able to think it. 'Forgotten as always...I know.'

Katon: Hibashiri: (Fire Element: Racing Fire)
Rank: "C"
Skill: NinJutsu
Effect: A Fire technique in which the user shoots out two streams of fire along each side of the user towards a group of enemies in which encircles around the enemy creating a wall of fire.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: The user first performs the handseals that they need. Then they slam their hands together as the user concentrates along the heat around them. Focusing their chakra, two streams of fire is launched from the user, one along the left, and another along the right. These streams shoot off towards multiple enemies. The user is capable of creating streams of fire within the distance of fifty meters, encircling enemies within twenty-meter radius. The fire is two meters in width as the height reaches up to five meters in the air as it spins violently trapping those within. This type of fire is used as an encasing Jutsu, capable of trapping the opponents inside using intensive heat for the enemy. This type of fire when first learned the user is capable of just encircling the enemies as the speed of the fire entraps the enemies within. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique the user is capable of enclosing the Fire to burn the enemies within a ring of fire as it ends. This process takes one turn to do. This technique is also capable of being used to shoot out a ring of fire towards the opponents if the user wishes.
Limit: Must have the Fire Release

Shigure honestly looked a little stupid standing there holding the tiger symbol. It wouldn't serve a purpose, and Hiroki was right, he could still shoot the genin from there. "Don't move another muscle or i set them off, I'm not kidding!" Shigure strengthened his stance, clenching both hands tighter to the other. Pretty soon Hiroki will be able to figure out that this was just a rouse.

Just as Shigure thought this stalemate would last for a bit longer, a loud yell sounded off from the tree he had figured Phyre to still be in. It wasn't that far away, so the yell startled him a little. Unable of taking his eyes off of Hiroki, Shigure had bad positioning. He couldn't turn around to see what the girl was doing. Well... he could, but he'd also get another blank to the stomach. He'd have to wait to find out.

There was no waiting, just as soon as Shigure felt the heat, Fire shot down in front of him, then encircled him. Well hell... now I'm going to burn to death. I hate fire... Shigure would drop the tiger hand sign, as well as both of the Genjutsu, they were unneeded at the present, for now he had to figure out what the hell the member on the team of the female persuasion was up too.

Genjutsu?!

Hiro had been caught very off guard by the rather effective genjutsu, though it dropped suddenly. Right as he felt heat coming his way. He blinked, letting his bow and arrow loosen before needing to act quickly. The fire started to surround him and in the heat of the moment made the snap technique choice. His bow slipped over his arm, and he placed the arrow sideways in his mouth to free his hands.

His hands moved quickly, streaming together handseals as the sakurai petals that floated around him started to spin.

"Raiton, Sakurai Uzu!" he yelled for the second time today. The petals spun violently around him, blocking off the flame that was made to trap him and at the same time cancelling it out. He kept the rotation going, just in case someone was going to try again. From the middle of his small vortex of blue-white lightning he yelled to the both of his teammates.

"Why are we trying to kill each other now?!" he stopped and shook his head, swinging his arms out to the side. "Shouldn't we be figuring out how to work together instead of trying to one up each other?!" His voice wasn't quite frantic, yet it had a worried tone to it. This had taken a step or two past a spar.

SPOILER: Click to show

Raiton - Sakurai still in effect

Technique Used:
Raiton: Sakurai Uzu, 雷光: 丹色 木 雷光 渦, (Lightning Style: Cherry Blossom Lightning Swirl)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: The user forms a shield out of lightning petals.
Special: “Hand Seals”
Drawback: Raiton: Sakurai must be active.
Description: The user forms the hand seals, focusing their chakra into the Sakurai petals around them. Releasing the lightning chakra, the user sends the petals spinning in tornado around their body, shielding them from sight and defending them by exuding equal and opposite force to the attack, negating it. The shield can withstand two C rank or lower strikes before being disrupted by further attack. Anyone coming into contact with the swirling Sakurai petals will find themselves suffering a mild shock akin to a severe first-degree burn. Tangible elements without strong electromagnetic fields (Doton and Mokuton) pass through this without difficulty.
Limit: Must have Raiton. Must know Raiton: Sakurai.

Phyre stood look about slightly shocked her jutsu seemed to have been somewhat effective. She continued to look about till Hiroki ended up yelling something. 'Not kill...each other...?' she thought those words over and even the words. 'Learning how to work together.' Suddenly Phy's head drooped, 'Good...one...I blew it....those orphans were right....I'll never be part of anything...' she thought, before trying to say something.

"I...wasn't really.....planning..well..." she paused thinking on the jutsu she used. Problem with Phy was she was an offensive close combat fighter. Defense and disarming....wasn't something she could think of. "I...." the girl was speechless, not great at expressing her feelings, or even trying to explain her rash action of attempting to join in the spar she believed Shigure wanted to start. Phy would start backing up, not exactly wanting to turn her back on the team, for thinking they might gang up on her for attempting to go. She wanted nothing more than to go back to her little comfort zone of a tree high up.

"Surprised....it even came close to hitting....considering...." she would say out loud going no further not willing to say she winged the jutsu in hopes it went in the direction of them due to her long range eye-sight being not so good. Phy didn't quite catch onto what Shigure meant about he wasn't kidding about something earlier though.

Being stuck in a circle of fire was not something Shigure thought as pleasant. Not only could he not see, but the fire was just a little too hot for his taste. Coming to the conclusion that Phyre had done something to enter the fray, Shigure went to formulating another plan.

As the fire's blaze started a sweat reaction from the boy, he overheard something coming from Hiroki that snapped him out of his mental progression.This really hadn't turned into a battle, not in Shigure's mind. It was more of a mind game. None of his attempts to attack were real, but they more than likely seemed real to the others. But nonetheless, they weren't working together as a team.

Figuring out that the youngest person on the team was right once again, Shigure came to a mental agreement to stop the spar, and only planned to get out of this ring of fire that the girl must not have wanted to try to put out. Forming a select few handseals, Shigure molded chakra at his feet, regulating it with caution. Suddenly a burst of chakra push downward from the soles of his feet, launching him 20 meters into the air.

As he reached the crest of his jump, the boy attempting to place himself under one of the nearby trees, landing on the top most branch. From their he would leap down and join the group. Only this time Phyre seemed to be backing up. "Hiroki's right, I got out of hand, my mistake. Good placement on that jutsu though." He'd state, motioning to Phyre.
