Cracking Knuckles.[Open]

[Nyu]

The Achilles would enter the battle arena. It was easily 100 meters across, and 100 meters wide. Around the arena rose a mighty wall, sturdy and tall. In the warm summer's day Alexander could see a few trees in the area, the grass green. Alexander stretched his wings and awaited for his opponent to arrive. He did not know who it was, nor did he care. Alexander just stood there, cracking his knuckles awaiting the oncoming opponent.

Today he brought with him his swords, each on his back. Seven total were accounted for. One Katana placed in the small of his back. His black armor shining in the bright sun, the clouds over head told of a calm day. How much long it would stay calm would have to be seen. Alexander saw the entrance were his opponent would come through. The rules were simple, Alexander would not attack until he was 20 feet away and had presented himself. Still it would be a rather good fight. He stretched as he waited, the other swords stationed on his body came to life with his movements. Six Wakazashi was on his back, three on each shoulder.

Glancing around a gentle breeze came forth, nothing but refreshing on this day of days. Alexander looked forward still waiting. The fifteen kunai on his body felt the breeze with him. The fifty bo-shurikan on his body also shared in the pleasure of such an event in nature. The Achilles of the Hidden Mist looked towards the gate that his opponent would enter. He awaited the grand arrival of this opponent. To his left was a tree, that look maybe twenty years of age. It was at least ten meters high, three branches protruded outwards. Alexander smiled, the other ones had been destroyed while young or just recently. Those three were the only three to survived. The Mist Shinobi wondered if the branches, or the tree would survive this encounter.

Alexander saw flowers in the nearby grouping of trees, quite beautiful they were. Alexander hid a tattoo, that was really a seal on both forearms. He would not bring out his friend, no not yet. That beast was back at his apartment awaiting for the time that it would be needed by the wielder. Alexander stood, his stance firm, he was ready, in body and mind. He cracked his neck, then cracked his knuckles. It was a rather nice day, the smell of hay in the background could be smelt. After all, fifty meters away was a mall meadow it seemed. Alexander, the Achilles of the Hidden Mist, awaited his opponent with eager eyes and mind. Let this battle commence and may the best person win. A smile stretched across the Shionbi's mouth in anticipation.

[The Roar of the Falls]

Isabella had been walking for what felt like forever, steaming at her recent failure again at the hands of her sister. This anger had no path to ground itself and that is what led her to her current location...seemingly the middle of no where it looked like, three singular trees lie in the distance, roughly 35 meters away, and next to them a figure.

No one was around for miles as far as the eye could see, and in a bad call of judgement she decided to exercise her anger on this individual. Closing the distance, Melody arm clanging softly on her right arm, she called across the plain to the figure. "Do you care for a little spar, something to lay to rest the days burdens?"

She only brought with her, her skills, wits and the melody arm strapped tightly to her arm. If the fight turned deadly she would have to adjust accordingly but she was ready and willing, nothing would be worse on her confidence than another loss.

[Nyu]

The arena had accepted the first fight of the day. Alexander looked forward towards the woman, she asked if they could spar. He gave simply a thumbs up, her only warning. Glancing at her she was merely twenty meters up, she have moved up closer since her entrance. Alexander held his body awaiting her first movement. He himself had set forth in motion a few hand seals, nothing that would cause her dismay. Placing his hand on his seal he would withdraw, seemingly from his arm, his partner. Coming forth came the giant black metal sword, the Masamune.

He lifted the sword upon his shoulder. He now awaited her movement, both were ready it would appear. He smiled and licked his lips in a eager manner, clearly ready for this combat to get underway. His eyes glowing an ice blue, this showed he was concentrated on her and only her. He prepared himself and steeled himself for her oncoming attacks. What would she do? How would the girl react? These things always interested Alexander, and the Achilles hated to wait.

Summoning Jutsu

Now have Masamune

[The Roar of the Falls]

A flourish of the silent individuals hands marked the appearance of a extensive and rather sharp looking protrusion. A blade, black as night, ejected itself from some unseen seal on the mans body and he seemed to take a great liking to this weapon, even going as far as to lick his lips though she knew not whether this was just a derogatory gesture to her or maybe...he was parched.

It mattered not, at the slightest twitch of his body that had marked the beginning of his tech she was already in motion, dashing forward 5 meters to level out the distance to 30 meter as her reduced handseals gave her jutsu near D rank speed of execution. At the completion of the last seal her body began to tingle, the potent sound chakra roaring into her system and accumulating in her throat where each wave ricocheted off the other, creating more and more sound waves until she released a concussive scream that would span 30 meters directly in front of her.

Anything caught in this blast would suffer a pain on the skeletal system like never before, rattling the joints and cartilage painfully, enough to hinder movements for 2 posts. Even as the last of the tech ended she was already in battle mode, now strafing the 30 meter blast area.

Assuming the target was hit or within range, she would start another flourish of handseals, she would create an invisible sound bubble, unless aided by air density pressure sight or dojutsu no regular eye could perceive its existence till she deemed it time to do so. The orb was controllable up to forty meters, but she would keep it a comfortable 15 meters away from her. This was only a future plan assuming the target was hit, still executable unless disturbed.

Rank: C-B ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Sound waves vibrate bones painfully.
Special:Dragon, Hare, Ram, Rat, Ox, Rat, Monkey, Hare

Armor provides little protection.
Kaguyas/ Tai masters may not be effected by this jutsu due to Higher bone density.
Description: Much like Himei no Jutsu. The user send a powerful and high pitched noise directly at an opponent. The user may use their vocal cords or weapon to emit the sound, which is launched at a 60 degree radius. The sound waves do not target hearing, bit rather an opponent bone structure. The sound waves hits the solid bones and bounces off of them, causing them to vibrate. This vibration is extremely painful to the opponent, can tamper with an opponents actions. The opponent can still move and hear, but attacks and movements are servilely hindered (C- rank=2 post, B-Rank=4 posts) the effectiveness of this jutsu and an opponent must caught at least 1/3 in this jutsu range.
C-Ranks reaches a maximum of 30 meters,

"Otokapuseru Haretsu" (Sound Capsule Explosion)
Rank: C-ranked
Skill: Ninjutsu, offensive
Effect: Causes the orb derived from "Otokapuseru Shuhou" (Sound Capsule technique) compress, then rupture; creating a loud boom in its wake.
Special: "Boar Handseal" after the creation of a sound capsule
Drawback: Harms Friend, Foe and User. The orb travels a maximum of 40 meters.
Description: Upon performing a Dog handseal, the capsule derived from "Otokapuseru Shuhou" (Sound Capsule technique) will begin to quickly compress onto itself, and reduce it size to no less then 2 cm in diameter. The particles trapped within the orb will vibrate and oscillate at a tremendous rate. Upon shrinkage, the orb flies forward, in the desired direction of the user. The orb will travel as fast as a thrown kunai, and upon the users command, rupture and release the strained particles that have been trapped within. This sudden release causes the chakra infused particles to react with surrounding particles, forcing them to vibrate and oscillate as well; creating a chain reaction of sorts. All of these particles, in essence, produce sound as the particles vibrate, oscillate and causing changes in air pressure and creating sound waves. The rupture, to the ears of opponents, sounds like an explosion, created by many Exploding tags. Opponents caught within 10 meter area of the sphere's instantaneous rupture, receives sonic damage: being disorientated and losing complete balance for 1 round.
Limit: Must know "Otokapuseru Shuhou" (Sound Capsule technique)

[Nyu]

The woman was fast, this impessed the young Kaishin. That was very hard to do. In the air the ice had told him of her movements, nothing could take this man off guard so easily. Merely moving with ease the would be well out of the way of her sonic attack. His sword on his back it filled with chakra as he slammed the blade into the ground. Unseen, and unnoticed, electric currents would charge through the ground. Their target was all around the woman and where she stood. His sudden fast movements had placed him twenty meters from his previous position. This position was to her right, fifteen meters away. Thanks to his ice hanging suspended in the air he could tell she was performing another jutsu, however that would cost her time, not to mention safety. His jutsu would erupt from underneath the ground all around her.

Seven was the number of streams he had sent at her and each seven would erupt with enough force that the ground under her feat would move causing a shift in anyone's concentration. The electric current mixed in with rocks would come flying out at their target. The rocks casting away from the mouth of the crater one meter away. The blasts of course would leave holes in the battlefield. The current would burn and pop anything it touched. The seven streams had arrived around the woman in a circle, coming up at the same time and thus making for one massive attack. He was not done however, his own hand seals had come to life. Chakra flourishing and pumping into the air itself.

The woman, to busy distracted by her own jutsu and then his jutsu that would take her off guard since hhe did not need hand seals for it, would undoubtedly not see that around her five hundred needles of ice were forming. Each one aiming right at her, but that was not the true point of the jutsu, oh no. You see the five hundred had created a net around her, movement through this net was unadvised. Doing so would cause impalement at fast speeds. The net itself was rather small to her area. The ice was strong enough to withstand most attacks, including any rocks that may have been kicked up by his own attack.

his smiled still etched on his face he had dropped the seal that controlled the ice needles. they would enclose, silently and graceful. Unknown, unheard, and unseen. That is right, he had made the ice the to be transparent like glass. Thus, the ice at a side would be seemingly unseen by the direction of the sun which was of course high noon. Their shadows would be up scoured from the crash and dust kicked up by the lightning currents coming out of the ground. The five hundred needles moved fast, any obstacles that had been in the way were gone due to the massive pulse of lightning coming forth from the ground. His attacks were deadly and quite subdued, he never tried to leave someone waiting for too long. The needles would be targeting the female, many her hands. Others her legs. No more running, casting, or performing for her. Should any of these attacks fail, the Alexander had already brought his hands up once more to perform another hand seal. True enough he was not able to do his hand seals quite as fast, but his instant movements and his movements were faster, that he could tell.

Alexander's chakra was already fluxing and flexing around the area, his next pair of jutsus would be a whale if she somehow stayed around after this round. His focus was calm, his ice was still in the air and the woman was seemingly trapped by the circle of lightning, rocks, and the ice needles falling upon her. The net of ice needles itself would be a hard move to get out, the circle of lightning would just make things to the scale of impossibly hard. Alexander was however, not relaxed, and not taking this woman easily. He would go in for the kill next round should she still be standing.

[The Roar of the Falls]

It was too perfect. He had flashed an appropriate 15 meters away from her, exactly the distance in which the sound orb was placed. He was fast, bringing weapons meant he was skilled in some way of hand to weapon combat but she wouldnt are let it come to that. At the end of his shunshin that placed him 15 meters away, she activated the orb. A flurry of C ranked reduced handseals marked the shrinkage and sudden explosion of the orb in question, everything within 10 meters of it subject to the sound.

The sound was that of hundreds of explosive tags going off simultaneously, deafening and creating enough of a disturbance to deal C rank sonic damage. From the sheer overwhelming force that would rupture the ears, no being within this place of affect would be able to stand or even crawl as the pain and sheer force of the sound destroyed all sense of balance. It was so beautifully perfect, she was almost sad it would have to end.

He clearly harbored something more than a "spar" in mind the way he moved and seemed to want to execute his unknown plan. If not presented with a way out she would have a debilitated and grounded opponent. Assuming there was no way out She would then start another series of seals as she skipped backwards to put an additional 5 meters between them to put the maximum distance at 20 meters, all fast and fluid. The ending seal marked another sound tech, a massive building up of sound waves in her throat once again, compressed and sharpened sound waves that would easily slice through most if not all A ranks defenses. She shoot forth a half meter large ring, its speed unparalleled as it sped forth at A ranked speed and made a beeline for the torso of her opponent.

Even as the ring would leave her mouth she began another set of seals, hold the last seal as sound waves seethed from her body into the air. The sound chakra released would form a multitude of 25 large purple blades of compressed sound. She would then hold the seal and launch 15 forward directly at him as 10 would fly from above, spread out from wing tip to wing tip o allow maximum coverage. The blade would easily dice him repeatedly assuming he never escaped the ground of her first tech.

[Nyu]

(Your orb got busted and I was 15 feet before you completed the hand seals, my sword attack did not require hand seals, thus if you can stand to be hit with Dragon Fang then you wouldn't be able to attack.)

[The Roar of the Falls]

(Well if you read your tai attack, you did not spin the blade at all. Nor jump. Just simply stuck it in the ground, your sword built no static charge. So the attack technically is a dud. Assuming you continued your movements after your tai attack, my seals would be adequate and everything follows through like normal.)

[Nyu]

(Actually, I if you read my first I heaved it on my shoulder, by doing so I put it into the air, thus charging my sword for the attack. It is the only attack in my arsenal for that jutsu. Thus, having the sword come out was kind of a give away it was coming. Even following your thought process, Your first attack was coming forth, I dodged it, it was still coming. Then As my sword was stuck in the ground I began my second jutsu. True it is a B rank, but by the time you start and formed yours mine was formed and coming in. So We can go with you having a orb, but that would mean you just got pumped with needles.

So needles coming forth at you, or needles all in your body. ^_^

Also on another note, seeing as my jutsu started the same time as I shoved my sword into the ground, I would have started first. Seeing as we have the same reduction in hand seals 1/3 both. C rank for you is 8 while mine take 12. Starting first means that we would both finish at the same time. That being said, my needles would pop your bubble, on that note their Ice Harden would withstand any and all forces in the bubble. Thus, they would continue towards their target. So I may be blown back if you choose to go there. I may take a little damage, since your jutsu would in essence be stopped half way, however you would no longer be able to do anything.)

[The Roar of the Falls]

(see, I understand that but your must "spin" the sword, to meet the requirement for your attack in the first place, just like the jump is also in the tech. Its in the Effect and Description of the tech its a must. Just like spinning the sword a few times. Also, you stated the current would pop my sound bubble, not your Ice needles, my orb is 15 meters away ffrom me, so your ice needles span from your position all the way to me completely? Thats not in there either.

From what i gather, your heaved your sword up onto your shoulder, didnt jump and stuck it in the ground, then shunshined the additional distance to 15 meters, right where my orb is, which is when you stated you would make the needles. There is no current for me to prepare for. Just an exploding Sound orb.)
