The Curse of Power [AtI|P]

[kojin]

It's not often one finds themselves this deep in the forest, an almost ancient place safe from most prying eyes. Who's to say what happens out here, it could go an eternity without ever being discovered. Places with as much history as this one also tend to hold secrets, if you know how to find them; or if they want to find you. It's usually no coincidence when people come across this particular place, something seems to draw them to it unknowingly. Everyone who is brought here though shares a common desire, their lust for power. Power never comes free though, especially when the giver is selfish, as many with supreme power are.

You were brought here this evening for a reason, night will soon be upon the forest and you will have to prove how significant your strength already is before you will be deemed worthy. Worthy enough to earn the right to bear abilities beyond your wildest dreams. When the moon is visible it would serve you best to be prepared for anything.

Miyuki was a woman who wanted power and above all else respect. As a chunin she was given respect amongst the villagers and impressive skills in taijutsu have earned her the respect of martial artists around the word but no, this woman wanted power beyond all of this she wanted to practically become a god. Someone who demanded respect just by the emanation of her personality, it was with this mindset that she had somehow found herself here in the forest.

To arrive in this location was no easy task and the woman wore clothes for travelling. She was clad in a robe that was made for training, covering her breasts and the entirety of her arms it was more like a jacket. The white collar hiked up over her face concealing the appearance of the lower part of her face. The woman also wore a matching robe like attire covering her from her waist down. Almost like pants they gave her full movement in combat and were perfect for movement, they also happened to reveal the side of the thigh as well. Recently she had also had a hair cut, her hair was now much shorter than previously.

As she had left the village once more to go out to train the woman wanted to push her limits and go travelling for longer than she had ever gone before. On her back supplies for survival, seeing as the pack was large she carried hideous amounts of explosives, gadgets, food, drink and even a few medicinal items while also bringing a waterproof tarp. Out of everything she owned the only things she didn't take were her weapons; the swords and regalia. Prepared to say the least.

Firstly the woman had taken a stroll along a path, with many people coming from this road both up and down it there was literally no chance of obtaining power from here. It was when she saw a road that was broken and trailing off into the distant mountains that the woman smiled and followed.

By following this path for a good kilometre the path had disappeared without a trace, no pieces of stone nothing the woman was completely lost now and she had not thought of marking a way back home. In fact when it came down to it Miyuki had realised that she didn't really have the proper training to survive out in the wild either, trial and error could always be a good things but even then the woman would have a bad time. She held up her compass and began to walk west, the exact opposite direction of the village.

As she continued to travel along the very few open areas the woman would slowly begin to notice a clearing up ahead and would smile, this would be the perfect place to train herself. As she continued to walk the woman would notice as the entire area began a sharp incline, wondering as to why this might be Miyuki jumped up into the trees and noticed a large gap that would deter most people away from the area, this gap was like a large hole or ravine in between two different mountain tops if she were to fall it would mean certain death. Miyuki would reach the top of the tree and begin walking over towards the hole on a relatively thick branch. By doing this she jumped off of it while still having a small amount of chakra in the soles of her feet in order to reduce the pressure.

Making it to the other side was no problem in fact the waterfall that came into her vision had intrigued her more than this opening. The reason being was that this place seemed to have marks from people travelling up and down the side, ever so faint the marks seemed to be very old as moss had been growing in these scratch marks in the stone. Miyuki was no longer interested in this area and she holstered herself up onto the side of the waterfall the blonde smiling as she found this somewhat fun. Tiny splashes of water had dampened her clothes the slightest amount before finally she was here atop the relatively small mountain and so deep in the forest she no longer knew where anything was anymore. Trees blocking out the sun Miyuki was left with enough light to see clearly but not enough to perfectly pinpoint details. The green glow of this area gave off an ominous feel but the woman could sense the power in such a place and continued to wander around.

[kojin]

It didn't take long for the sun to fade away entirely as the woman began to settle. The moon would slowly take it's place in the sky, a half moon that would provide barely enough light to make your way through the copse of trees. Even animals revered the power that could be felt in this place and they kept their distance, giving the forest and even more ominous feeling. Everything was silent, no leaves rustled, no wind blow, the world was still here like it was waiting for something.

You are not alone though, you are being watched. A small man hidden a few meters away from you behind a cluster of trees, he can just barely make out your figure but he knows you're the one he was sent to wait for. He would sit and observe you for awhile, slowly edging his way behind trees to get just a little closer while trying to remain hidden. He was no revered warrior like the woman before him, just a simple being who was given a gift for his servitude. Unlike you though he was weak, not physically weak but mentally; easily bent to his master's doing, nothing more than a lapdog.

Finally he would show himself to the woman, overcoming his initial fear of her. He stumbled out over the roots of the trees as he emerged from his hiding spot, falling onto his hands and knees just a few steps away from the wanderer. His always body trembled as he stared at the ground, occasionally making quick nervous glances at the person in front of him. His lips quivered and he stuttered consistently as forced out a few words,

'H-h-h-hello, m-my m-m-master has t-t-taken an int-t-terest in you

He took several deep breaths after finishing, and rose to his feet, he stood a good head shorter than the woman and surely seemed like nothing to fear. He fidgeted constantly, looking over his should every few seconds, scratching his head; he didn't dare make eye contact with the person in front of him, instead he let his eyes just keep darting around but he also seemed to be looking for something. Needless to say he hardly seemed all there, and his sanity could have easily been called into question.

[❥ cannibble]

As night time had fallen the woman had felt a great deal of fatigue from doing so much travelling for the day. It barely hurt on her feet and hands from the climbing and walking but she was tired nonetheless and because of this she was not fully focused. By not being fully focuses she would not notice the frail man until he had fallen over, with a crack as his hands snapped twigs to pick himself up she would turn around instantly fists risen up and ready to defend herself.

It was odd, a man so weak and frail. How he got up here was a thing of mystery in fact the man didn't seem to be someone who was stranded either, due to looking so weak the blonde had felt sorry for him as she had been born quite strong both mentally and physically. Walking over and extending a hand to help with man up she would smile warmly although she had forgotten that the lower part of her face was entirely concealed away from view.

"You have a master and he'd like to see me? How did he even know I was going to be up here... Mmm he must be pretty damn strong. If you want I could carry you if you point out the way I mean, no offence or anything you just look kinda physically drained or something." The woman would offer to carry him with her arms extended, having his weight on her back would make travelling certainly a lot harder but would also give her some of the training that she so desired.

The constant fidgeting and the way he averted his gaze away from her face and more so her eyes was intriguing, to see such a cowardly person up here must mean that whoever this master of his was would be someone who was very harsh towards his subjects. Miyuki liked being treated with a much harsher demeanor because it meant that she would become more disciplined and it also showed that said person thought highly of themselves. Could she defeat this master? That was something she would love to find out, make him get off of his high horse and treat his subjects a bit more nicely, of course this was all circumstantial she hadn't actually met the person yet they could be male or even female.

[kojin]

All colour drained from the man's face as the woman spoke to him, his nails began clawing the skin off the back of his hands as he tried to distract himself. He cringed visibly when she spoke of his master, immediately falling to the ground again. He gnawed on his bottoms as he tried to force himself to speak, slowly breaking through the skin, causing blood to trickle down his chin,

”M-m-master i-isn't h-h-h-here, we're a-a-alone. T-t-t-there's n-nowhere to g-g-go

He appeared noticeably ill when he finished speaking, and quickly spun around on his hands and knees to face away from the woman. He seemed to wretch for a short time, making a few dry gagging sounds. Laying flat on his stomach he buried his face in the mess of foliage beneath him, a few muffled mumbling sounds escaping his mouth. No one knew what this felt like for him, it was taking over and he had no control, in the back of his head he could hear a whisper demanding that he draw the blood of the woman lest he pay with his own, it was his master's voice.

”N-n-n-o, p-p-please d-don't make m-me m-master.

He was sobbing into the dirt talking to no one but himself, he crawled a few more inches away from the woman before struggling to his feet once again. Once more the faint, unmistakable voice of his owner plagued his mind, reminding him of his place, of the gift he had been given, and of the promise he had made. He needed to make sure she was the one, even if it meant his life. He couldn't help but be overcome by fear though, he stopped shaking for the first time in ages but only to double-over and finally vomit.

He turned back around to face the woman, his skin as pale as the moon that was just barely illuminating the space they stood in. His face was covered in patches of dirt and mess of blood from his almost constant chewing on his lip, blood dripped from the back of his hands and loose pieces of skin hung from his nails. More noticeably was the diamond pattern that now covered his skin, his tears helped clean his face slightly as he forced out words in what was a barely audibly whisper,

”P-p-p-please, I-i-i-i'm s-s-sorry, s-so s-sorry.

tenfuin stage 1 activated

Tenfuin: Stage One
Rank: "B" Rank
Skill: FuinJutsu
Effect: Increases physical speed, power, and endurance. Increases the user's chakra level.
Special: Channeling a small amount of chakra into the seal.
Drawback: Drains chakra at a rate of 3% per turn, meaning that this ability, on top of using chakra to fight, can quickly tire the user out.
Description: Stage One increases the user's physical strength, speed, and endurance by a large amount. They become much more capable of fighting hand to hand, as their body responds more quickly than most forms of training can produce. Their strikes become strengthened twofold, their muscles suddenly capable of performing at higher rates than normal. Beyond that, they are capable of fighting for much more extended periods, as their body seems to thrive off of the battle. Even beyond all of the physical attributes gained by the Seal, the user's chakra level will increase a substantial amount, allowing them the ability to perform jutsu as if they were one Difficulty Class above their current level (please note, this does not mean that they can use this ability to learn jutsu faster or to learn jutsu that their rank does not allow them to learn, but rather allows them the ability to perform more jutsu for less of a cost). When the Tenfuin Stage One is gained, it takes three IC turns to spread the seal all the way across the body. After the First round they will reach times .03 (3%) times their movements. After the Second Round they will reach times .06 (6%) times thier movements. After the Third Round theu reach the full .10 (10%) times their movements.
Limit: Gaining Stage One is a long process in which is forced upon the user immediately after receiving Stage Zero. This process is highly dangerous, and during this process, many hundreds of potential recipients and experiments have perished. Pain beyond imagine is forced through the user's body, stretching out their physical and mental limits. The power of the Seal somehow prohibits people from going unconscious as this pain soars through their body, thus they either remain awake or they perish. As Stage Zero of the Seal is placed upon the user, the seal rapidly drains the user of their chakra, pushing them into levels of below 5% of all of their chakra. This chakra is pumped throughout the body, forcing it to be ready to perform the remarkable feats that the seal allows the body to do. This process lasts for Twenty Full Length RP posts, in which the user must describe the chakra changing each part of their body to become more proficient. These “Pain” posts are graded by the admin like training posts, requiring the user to gain the proper amount of “TP” (apply Difficulty Class) with one exception- the maximum number of points capable of being allotted at once are 5.

The woman was in awe the man had wretched in pain , blood trickling from his body and all. It was as if someone was talking to him but she herself could not hear it in fact she could barely understand a word that the man had said. She was a little frightened by his display, something about his body and how it was undergoing such a change by marks appearing all of his body.

She bit her lip but it was not nearly enough pressure to damage it, just merely in retaliation as to how painful it must of been the man to bite into his lip in such a way. The woman stood upright now, her gloves hands forming fists as she entered an upright stance. The first of his words that had stated they were alone and that there was nowhere to go made her think, what if he was his own master and that there was something more sinister to the man than meets the eye?

The second he had mumbled out in a near inaudible way was beginning to show that something was telling him to do something something was causing the patterns to appear. It was at the time he had stated he was sorry and facing this way that she believe she may have been in some form of danger, this man seemed more than likely to attack her and because of this she was prepared. Her eyes focused on every inch of his body in particular his legs and shoulder areas.

"A-are you okay? What's wrong you've got some weird as pattern on ya. I must warn you though if you are going to attack I don't wanna hurt ya so I'll try my best to put you out of your misery quickly alright?" The woman punched the air in a speed completely untraceable to the human eye however it would be known just by the blur and slight gust of wind and on top of all that the stance that would show she had just punched as a warning to him.

[kojin]

The man seemed to remain perfectly still for a short while after the woman briefly displayed her abilities, why he didn't move is hard to say. But within moments he seemed to be even worse off than he had before, he knew he stood no chance against the girl even with his master's gift. He wasn't made for this, he had only wanted to serve not become the murderer he was now. His hands trembled violently as he reached into his plain brown tunic and retrieved a crude looking knife. It was no weapon made for the killing, that just happened to be its job; a sad weathered blade slowly beginning to rust connected to gnarled wooden handle. The man inspected the weapon as it shook in his clenched left fist, it was the only thing that was able to keep his attention for more than a few seconds.

Again the voice of his master began to echo through his mind, demanding that his will be done or else the consequences would be much greater than whatever the woman did to him. Slowly he began to take cautious steps towards her, his feet barely moving past each other with each step, his arms hung at his sides and the way the knife waved from side to side showed the he was still quite literally, shaking with fear. He muttered incoherently to himself as he made his way closer to the woman, now only about two arm-lengths away.

He wiped tears from his face with the back of his bloody hand creating even more of a mess than what had already been there. He had to crane his head up slightly to make eye contact with the woman, but once their eyes met he wouldn't break his gaze. His lips quaked as he tried to force out words, but was unable to and instead produced and odd guttural sound from his throat. After a deep breath that was uninterrupted by sobs he was finally able to make a sentence,

”S-s-stop me, p-p-please.”

Once he had finished speaking he weakly swung his knife at the woman, missing by good distance since he hadn't wanted to hit her. He knew he wouldn't be able to keep her safe for much longer and he had to do something. He moved just another step closer to the girl, she would finally be able to see his face clearly and how awful it was. Besides that it was presently covered in a mess of blood, dirt, tears, as well as a good amount of mucus and saliva from his near constant sobbing; he also was noticeably missing a few of his teeth which may not been such a bad thing seeing how the ones that remained were mostly a dingy brownish yellow shade. His hair was short and messy and had been visibly torn out in several spots, despite the gruesome appearance that he knew he sported he kept his eyes locked with the woman.

After a few tense silence seconds the man would finally force himself to speak again, after gagging slightly trying to get the words up. His lips parted to reveal his chattering teeth and let out a warm breath before talking, unleashing an unnaturally foul smell,

”M-m-make it-t f-f-fast please, t-t-t-t-then r-r-run. H-he'll h-h-hurt y-y-you.”

Once he had said his part he swung again with his knife again, more threateningly this time though as sliced through the air just a few centimeters away from her torso.

Miyuki was a little on edge as to why the man was not moving, a man covered in a pattern in seconds whispering to himself and barely moving at all except shaking consistently - it would frighten anybody. She stayed strong willed, not allowing her nerves to show as the man was readying a knife that looked like it had been used numerous times before and because he drew his weapon on Miyuki who happened to be unarmed he had lost all respect for him.

As he got closer Miyuki's expression slowly became emotionless, she was ready to kill him at any given moment provided he attempted to attack her at all. His hideousness would provide a distraction to most but because of the very real threat of the weapon there was no losing concentration; this master of his was either him or someone controlling him otherwise he wouldn't be so reluctant to attack.

To be stopped or killed was now the question, Miyuki weighed the options in her mind she was not one to go back on her word and killing him would be to go against this. He did however wish to inflict harm upon her with that knife of his and judging by his appearance and the blade itself he had most likely killed quite a few people before her. The final option to cause a tie breaker between these arguments was the fact that whoever this man was he had referred to a master, she wanted to know more. If he was in fact someone else rather than himself with multiple personalities which seemed more likely he might actually be strong. Fighting somebody strong could provide quite a nice challenge while also giving her experience, she had decided.

As he was now within arm length Miyuki's emotionless gaze had inspected all of the muscles in his arm in which the knife was carried and before he would be able to even throw the attack her way she had leant back and lowered her body downwards. In doing so the man's arm would be left exposed and she punched forwards with an almost untraceably fast jab from her lead arm (right) towards the man's inner bicep. If it were to connect it would cause his arm to go numb and it would be rendered useless for a moment.

After the jab had been thrown Miyuki would roll her torso around in an anticlockwise motion allowing for their torsos to be mere centimetres away. With this tiny distance in between them Miyuki would keep up with her fluent boxing motions and throw an uppercut towards the man's chin with her first two knuckles (the index and pointer) being first to collide. The full power of this uppercut would make the man stumble if it connected but almost instantaneously after the woman would throw another punch this time with the opposite arm this was her lead arm. This punch would be swift and if connected would hit the man's jaw and rattle his brain not only stunning him but also making it quite hard for him to stand if it were to hit. Luckily enough for him it would not kill him although it might knock him unconscious if it were to hit. Either way she would be out of the way of the slash and would be directly next to the man ready to attack him with an onslaught of attacks while in the semi-crouched position.

Mastery: Outside Fighter
Rank: "B" , "A" , "S"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: The Outside Fighter are the Tacticianist. They like to stay on the outside space of fighters letting the fighters come to them while using their foot work to avoid attacks. The Outside Fighter has two effects. First Effect is that they hit faster than normal fighters. This means they can hit more times in a single movement then a normal fighter. The second fighter is because they need to use their foot work and since they like to stay along the outside of fighter’s circles they have a higher experience in blocking. This means that an Outside Fighter's blocking capability becomes stronger than other fighters.
Special: ---
Drawback: This Mastery does not stack with other masteries dealing with attacking multiple times in a single movement. This Mastery works only on striking techniques using only the Fists. This Mastery works with Universal Techniques, however does not stack with attacking multiple times in a single movement Techniques that increases the user's striking mobility. This Mastery only works if user has a good footing and proper stance, as well as the guard that's being used.
Description: When the user learns this kind of mastery, their blocking abilities become better, while their speed increases as well. This is done because the outside fighter needs to be able to block hits, following with a quick counter, or be able to hit the opponent multiple times wearing him down. When the user first learns this technique every boxer, or every fighter that fights in hand to hand combat is able to attack with their left, and their right to take up a single movement.

"B" Rank Mastery - Gaining 500 Training Points - User is able to attack two additional times with their lead hand (the hand that jabs) while they are able to attack one more time with their strong hand in a single movement. The blocking capabilities increase as well by .2 per rank.
"A" Rank Mastery - Gaining 1000 Training Points - User is able to attack one more time with their lead hand, and another time with their strong hand. Their blocking abilities increase as well by an additional .2 per rank.
"S" Rank Mastery - Gaining 1500 Training Points - User is able to attack an extra time with their lead hand, while an additional time with their strong hand. This would give a user a total of 4 times with their jabbing arm, while three with their strong arm. This gives them better capabilities of creating fiercer combo, while their blocking abilities increase by an additional .2 per rank.


Limit: Must have mastered Bokushingu (Boxing) by gaining 500 Training Points. Every 500 Points extra until they reached 1,500 Training Points the user is able to pick either Mastery: Outside Fighter for greater speed and blocking ability, or user is able to pick Mastery: Inside Fighter to become a Hybrid Fighter.

[5]Upright Stance [f]
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A Basic upright stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture To adopt an Upright Stance, you should stand with your legs roughly shoulder-width apart. Your back foot should be about half a step behind your front foot. If your dominant boxing hand is your right hand, your left foot will lead. Lift your right heel off the ground by about 3 inches and point both feet inward (although do not exaggerate this movement). If you lift your heel too far off the ground, or turn your feet too far inward, you will become unbalanced. As a test, imagine someone pushing you from any direction. In a properly balanced stance, you should be able to maintain an upright position and not fall to the ground or sway from side to side. To increase the stability of your stance, keep your knees and hips slightly bent but make sure your back is straight. Your lead fist (which will be your left fist if your dominant boxing hand is your right hand) should be positioned vertically at eye level, approximately six inches away from your face. Your right fist should be positioned next to your chin, with your elbow held against your ribcage. This is good defensive positioning and will effectively protect your body. Whilst watching televised boxing matches, you may have noticed the boxers tapping their cheeks with their hands. This repetitive action acts as a reminder to keep fists up at all times and is especially important as the match progresses and energy levels drop. To further protect yourself from blows from your opponent, keep your chin pressed against your chest. Punches to the jaw often cause knock-outs, so it is essential to keep this stance throughout the boxing match.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing)

[5]Semi-Crouch [f]
Rank: "E"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A semi-crouched stance used in boxing.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture You may choose to fight from a crouch (or semi-crouch) position during a boxing match. If you choose this option, lean forward rather than maintaining an upright position, whilst making sure your feet are kept close together. The most important thing to remember when adopting a balanced boxing stance is to relax. If you start to become tense, your balance will be negatively affected and you will be more likely to receive a harmful blow from your opponent. Your neck and back should never feel under any pressure. If your neck and back do feel tense, you may be leaning your shoulders too far forward and not rotating your hips in line with them. If you want to increase the range of your punches, try positioning your front foot ahead of your head. To see the difference that this new stance can make, stand in front of a punch bag whilst keeping your back foot steady and in the normal position. Punch forward slowly and keep your punch at its full extension. After this, move your lead foot in front of your head and repeat the punching movement. Stop the punch at its full extension and you should be able to notice the increased range now available to you. When practicing this variation, keep the other elements of the orthodox stance, such as the position of the elbows and chin, the same.

ulling Away
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique used in which the user measures an attack's length, and pulls away by bending their back backwards allowing to be used for counter attacks, or just simply an evasion.
Special: ---
Drawback: If a user is unable to predict the length of an attack, the user could very well get hit by an attack.
Description: Picture A technique best used once a user learns Heightened Perception after learning all basics. The opponent makes an attacked such as a straight, or a hook. The attack must be a mid straight or under over attack such as an uppercut. An over under attack such as the overhand punch will work against the pulling away. For those types of attacks it is best to slip inside or outside an attack. When an opponent attacks the user bends backwards away from the attack or steps back away from an attack. This defense is great against overreaching attacks. When the opponent makes his mark the user must determine the length of the attack. Once determined they are able to dodge the attack by doing what was stated earlier.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know Upright Stance or Semi-Crouch

Chopping Right
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A strong attack used from above with their right, or left if the user is Southpaw. This means with the user's strong arm.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A punch thrown with the dominant arm, typically aimed at the jaw, whose power is derived from momentum gained in striking from a great height above the opponent. Because it is an overhead blow that relies on the downward velocity to deliver its damage, a long reach is useful in maximizing its effectiveness. Accordingly, this blow would be called a Chopping Left if thrown by a Southpaw. A strong attack user to stun an opponent for an amount of three turns. The user aims for the jaw, or the very chin of the opponent. When the user makes contact, the brain of the opponent rattles and becomes disoriented allowing the user to cross with more powerful combos.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Four Punching Basics.

White Fang
Rank: "C"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A combo technique that takes up a single movement in order to perform.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Picture Named for the up-down, closing motion of the fists which resemble those of a wolf's jaws biting into its prey, White Fang is a finishing blow that is a high-speed, vertical combination whose speed exceeds that of the Shotgun however only consists of it being two hits. The two punches landing both from above and below almost simultaneously. In most cases, it begins with a Left Upper and ends with a Chopping Right, though some boxers are able to lead with a Right Upper as well. Each hit is capable of knocking an opponent down and out if connected correctly.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Four Punching Basics.

Abnormal Punch
Rank: "B"
Skill: TaiJutsu
Effect: A technique where the user punches at abnormal, and odd angles while never loosing the full power of a punch.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: This is considered to be a pinnacle of punching ability. If a user is normally flat footed, or punches in an odd position they lose power. This technique however makes the user's punching ability in its prime possession. This means that a user is able to fall down while punching an uppercut, or sidestepping while arching their back giving a left hook to an opponent's face while never losing any power within this technique. This technique also works well while using Haymaker attacks as well where the user can trip, while attacking with the intention of full force. This gives the ultimate punch a whole new angle.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know the Four Punching Basics. Must have Mastered Bokushingu (Boxing), Must have Gained 1000 Training Points in Bokushingu (Boxing)

Heightened Perception
Rank: "C" , "B" , "A" , "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By analyzing and keeping an eye on the opponent's shoulder and foot work the user is able to predict movements and grab a feel of when attacks are going to come by making the Boxer a more proficient fighter.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user is only capable of predicting movements’ one rank below then what they have learned. The user is only capable of predicting movements that are TaiJutsu Based. Any other type of movements cannot be predicted.
Description: The way this technique works is that the user observes certain points of areas of the opponent's body such as the shoulders, thighs, and hips. Since attacks are focused on these points they are capable of making educational guesses towards points of contact that may occur within these certain points. This type of technique is a study where the user is capable of watching an opponent's movements for a brief moment of time predicting TaiJutsu techniques. When the user first learns this technique they are capable of predicting techniques of "D" Rank capability. When the user learns the "B" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "C" Rank capability. When the user learns the "A" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "B" Rank capability. When the user learns the "S" Rank version of this technique they are only capable of predicting techniques of "A" Rank capability.
Limit: Must learn in a gym that teaches Bokushingu (Boxing), Must know all Basics

Boxers Mentality
Rank: "D" , "C" , "B" , "A" , "S"
Skill: Supplementary
Effect: By fighting on and on, a boxer becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the boxer becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class.
Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Boxer is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher.

The onslaught of attacks was no match for the man, even if he had cared about defending himself it would have done little good against the woman. As her slew of punches ended the man stumbled back a few feet from his previous position, his mouth was filled with blood and a couple stray teeth which he was just barely able to spit out before collapsing to the ground, the majority of the mess dribbling out after the fact. He was still alive, but just barely the woman's attack was deadly against someone as weak as him. His breathing was faint and his chest was rising and falling at an alarmingly slow rate.

His life is in your hands now, you can choose to save him and nurse him back to health and hope that when he finally comes around he's more willing to speak instead of the seemingly demented man you brought down. Or you can carry on and let fate have its way with the man while you go on to more important things. The choice is yours.

[❥ cannibble]

With the blonde's movements swift and precise the man would feel the full force of each punch, somehow knocking him over she finally realised just how weak he was. Not even enough to come close to killing a young genin she had almost killed this man. Her eyes no longer featuring a glazed over appearance in fact her expression finally showed emotion she had realised that this man could die and she may never see the master that he spoke of. Due to threatening her life she would have no other reason other than the master he spoke of to save his life, he meant nothing to her now.

She walked over, brushing off a bit of dirt and blood from her gloves. Miyuki leant over looking at him in the eyes, her eyes gazed over his stomach in which seemed to be moving up and down quite slowly. The man had a rather weak body to say the least, not knowing what the weird markings were as they could even be a disease the woman would not bring her face less than half a meter from the man's.

She had not taken much training in how to perform medical aid however due to being a boxer she had somewhat of a knowledge in how to treat a concussion and considering she had just given him two successive blows to the head it would be likely that he may be suffering from one. The woman would reach into her pack and pull out a blood clot pill in order to stop his bleeding, if the man were to bleed out he would be no use to her. She would place a hand under the man's head and raise it slightly so that when she would put the pill into his mouth slowly, making sure he didn't bite that he would not choke on the pill and die not only making her pill useless but making it impossible to find said master as well.

After and if he had eaten the pill no problem Miyuki would place the man's head gently back onto the ground with little to no bumps causing him no more pain hopefully. The woman would then reach into her backpack again and find an ice explosive tag, running off for a brief moment she would detonate the tag at a safe distance from herself and the man then within moments after doing so she would run over to the ice and break off two pieces large enough to fit in a hand. The blonde as she was running back over to the man would rip off two pieces of fabric from her sleeves and wrap it around said ice. Miyuki would return and place the now ice-pack like objects on the man's forehead and chin while applying a very mild amount of pressure to reduce the swelling in both his chin and brain if there was any.

Unfortunately for her this was about as far as her medical skills could go, she had been taught CPR at one stage and knew how to give air to someone to a mild degree but there was two problems with this situation. For one she wasn't going to put her face near the man as he may be diseased and two she could not for the life of her remember how many compressions and breathes needed to be performed.

"Who's this master that you speak of and where is he? If he's the one who did this to you, if he's the one who made you go psycho when you seemed so apologetic I will not forgive him in fact I'll pay him back with more than fifty times the power I used on you." Nothing but truth with a slight exaggeration the woman was trying to seem sympathetic towards the man and as if she actually felt sorry however if he did not give any information she would give him a lesson as to why you don't make her angry.

"Alright well there's this place in the body right? Well it's called the heart and well, you need it see? Well in boxing there's a type of punch in which is aimed directly at this necessary part of the body and if you hit them with this punch it momentarily stops their heart. Now I have never tried it but do you think would happen if you were to hit them there continuously when they are on the verge of death?" The woman would then place a hand where his heart is. Applying a small amount of pressure with a clenched fist she would try and intimidate him however this would only be if he did not say anything.

[kojin]

The look on the man's face when he awoke was one of pure shock, he had not expected any kind of help from the woman after what he had done. Tears began to well up in the corner of his eyes, he had never been so grateful of someone since his master had saved him. But when she spoke of his master his tears of joy quickly turned to those of fear, there was no explaining why he had done what he did to the woman, it was merely his master's bidding and he was a loyal servant. He knew he couldn't let this woman become corrupt by the man though, and even though the dishonesty broke he knew he needed to trick the girl.

He was not so sure he should deceive the woman once she had threatened his life and left her hand hovering on his chest. The weight of it was a thousand times heavier than it should have been, but the frail man still manage to squeak out a few words,

”I-I can t-take you t-t-to m-master, b-but we m-must b-be caref-f-ful, he won't b-be h-h-happy I f-failed”

He nervously wriggled his way out from under the woman's fist, hoping she wouldn't find it disrespectful and harm him for it. Shakily he rose to his feet, cowering slightly in front of the female, he's head darted back and forth from several different directions trying to discern which way it was he came from. He felt overwhelmingly pressured to make sure he kept his new savior out of harm's way, it was just dawning on him that she had threatened his master's life for his sake. He smiled oddly to himself, causing the dried blood around his mouth to crack and showing off the new gaps in his gums.

After a few cautious steps around the area the man had finally settled on going south and turned to to face the direction before beckoning to the woman,

”P-please f-follow me, m-mistress

[❥ cannibble]

The man had wriggled away from her fist, the intimidation seemed to be working at least it was apparent to her. However the man had other plans, he was actually luring her away from the master as a sign of happiness that the woman would actually care for him. The woman thought to herself about how weak and frail of a man he was, not once did he have any form of resistance in fact it seemed that the man was very weak willed along with his body. Personally she wondered if she should give him a soldier pill, she did not have a lot of them to use in fact she only had two, one would certainly help the man move around and take her to his master however it would end up being a double edged sword as the man would have the strength to attack once more and she would only have one left.

Miyuki was happy to see that the man was now going to take her in a southerly direction in which she had already been travelling, maybe something else was afoot here and maybe it wasn't her own original thoughts to travel this way? It was a weird thought and Miyuki played with it a little in her mind, the man seemed to be feeling better now and even grateful that she had shown a level of kindness. Cracking her knuckles as she made sure she still had everything on her the woman would follow attentively. "I see, your master seems like a very harsh man. Especially to treat you in such a way that you'd be left in this state. I am sorry for punching you by the way, I am very grateful that you'd take me. In fact after I beat the crap out of him I'm taking you to the hospital, all expenses paid okay? I'm not usually as harsh as you saw back then but I needed to know you're trust worthy."

[kojin]

The continued talk of his master was beginning to make the man fidget again, but he indulged the woman for a short while longer,

”M-master is n-not h-harsh, he's a f-f-fair man. A-and p-p-please d-don't ap-p-pologize mistress, I d-deserved it, I-I-I j-just hope you can f-forgive me. Y-you can t-trust me p-p-princess.”

He'd quickly turn and hide his face from the woman as a few tears began to form in the corner of his eyes. It nearly broke his heart to knowingly lie to the person who had shown such kindness to him, but he argued with himself that it was for the best. He had spent much longer than intended up in the forest, the sun would be coming up in just a few hours then master would be expecting him back shortly after; that didn't seem as worrisome for a change with the woman's protection she would at the very least be able to slow his master down long enough for him to go into hiding.

His short legs carried him across the forest floor hastily, his eyes only looking up to make sure the woman was still close by. It didn't take long for the trees to thin out and the sounds of nature returned, the screech of a bird echoing through the trees every few minutes along with the occasional gust of wind. He wasn't fully prepared for the journey he was about to make, but he was willing to sacrifice his life to ensure his protector's safety.

They would stick towards a southward pass, keeping close to the west coast of the country, the man had his sights set on Shimo no Kuni, which he let the woman so she could prepare herself as necessary while they walked for the cold weather. He had an emergency shelter hidden there that he hoped was still intact, from there he'd have to keep their destinations secret.

[❥ cannibble]

Miyuki would continue to walk with the man, their travel was quick as even though he felt so awful and looked quite the same he seemed to move rather quickly. All in all it wasn't very suspicious but it was somewhat, why was he walking so fast through the jungle, he was afraid of this master fellow so what if... No it couldn't be that he was leading her away in fact there would be no reason to as he would surely understand that she could beat this man down any time she wanted. The master was no exception he would simply get a beat down as well.

As they would both walk the woman would continuously follow his every movement, the most sudden of movements could have meant the end of his life as she already knew he was dangerous but not only that she had reasons to doubt him. The woman would notice as tears would well up in his eyes, the man quickly turning around to hide them as well, another hint that maybe something was wrong although it still wasn't quite enough to get her to know for sure they were going the wrong way. Instead the woman would confront the frail man as to why he was crying and why he was walking at such a pace when his body would not be able to handle it. As they continued to walk his pace would not slow even though his body definitely could not handle it, the blonde would replay the words that he had said continuously through her mind, she wondered why he would apologise and why he would attempt to reassure he is trustworthy to the woman.

Walking faster than him she would then push off a nearby tree and land in front of the man looking at him dead in the eyes. The woman would then with a very serious expression confront the man about the subtle hints that she had experienced. "Alright, first thing's first you definitely shouldn't be moving that fast unless you have a reason for it? I'd like to hear it. I mean you just got punched in the face twice and should be suffering from a concussion and what else is that we haven't changed direction once since we've been walking, I mean if you're master is as powerful as you say he is wouldn't he more than likely be away from the roads. Hell you came out of literally nowhere and had told me this master had an interest in me."

"Alright another thing, why are you crying and apologising? You haven't done anything wrong as far as I can tell between the time you attacked me and since we've begun travelling. You certainly haven't done anything in that period as well that would need you to reassure me to trust you so I'm just going to ask this once, what's up? I'll leave it at that But honestly something's fishy to me." The woman would cross her arms with a raised eyebrow during this time, her eyes fixated on the man's expressions and mannerisms. While he did move around and fidget a whole lot she did know just from being a professional in her line of work when someone was lying or not. If he is good at lying, well Miyuki would easily be tricked.

[kojin]

The man had been quite content with the time they were making across the vast stretch of land until the woman he was guiding to safety jumped in front of him and quickly berated him with a string of accusatory questions. For a moment he thought he'd been caught, but he even he realised there would have been no ways for her to discern any of his true motives and she had believed his lies up to this point and without him she'd be lost; for the first time in possibly his entire life he felt confident, that didn't seem to mean anything though as he fumbled over his words as usual while trying to explain himself to the woman,

”W-we need t-to k-keep a steady p-p-pace, we're alread-dy lat-t-ter than I h-h-had h-hoped.”
He paused for a moment taking several deep breathes before speaking,
”I h-h-haven't ch-changed d-direction s-s-since I only kn-know one w-way t-t-to g-get where we're g-g-g-going. M-m-master is f-far a-away which is w-w-why we m-must h-hurry.”
Again he stopped for a short time to catch his breath,
”I-I am t-truly s-s-sorry for a-attacking you, I a-a-am a-ashamed, b-but I w-will st-t-top if it p-please y-you. N-now p-please, i-if w-we c-c-could continue.

The last part wasn't entirely true, but he hadn't lied either though it had wasted even more time. The stout man took a step to his right and began walking past the woman back in his intended direction. He knew they were close, it would just be a little longer now and if there were no more interruptions they would still make good time. The man slowed down slightly in case the woman was still on nerve about his motives, he also made it a point to stay fairly close to her while walking. Soon the cold air that swept across the tundras of Shimo no Kuni would breach the borders of Kaminari no Kuni as they came closer and closer, and in just a short time they would officially cross the border into the Land of Frost where they were greet with a light snow storm.

[to Shimo]

[❥ cannibble]

The woman contemplated a moment and reviewed each and every one of his answers in her mind, noticing that he had in fact ignored the question as to why he was crying although may have hinted at it. It was due to this that the woman would hold her ground for a little while longer. The woman had thought that everything else checked out however she had noticed a further two things, one she hadn't asked about what the markings were and why he was muttering about this master person and secondly he had said he would 'stop it' now what did he mean by that? She certainly hadn't asked him to stop anything but she thought that maybe, just maybe the man was apologising about attacking her.

"Before we go anywhere I just have something else I'd like to ask." The woman would crack her knuckles while staring at the man in his eyes, keeping her focus away from the grotesque features surrounding them. The woman would then begin her questions once more. "So first of all I'd like to ask what exactly that black tattoo looking thing was covering your body. It just occurred to me that I hadn't asked you previously, it seemed to give you an immense surge of energy and strength in exchange for control considering when under it's influence you didn't move in such a sluggish and weak manner." She would now focus on the entirety of his body looking out for any hint of a lie in what he had said.

If there was the slightest hint the woman would raise her arms up and show her true motives, she wished nothing more than to beat up this master and had no emotion towards the man; she'd kill him right then and there and head back to the point in which she had met the man hoping that the master would come. If he didn't leave a hint the woman would continue to follow him, as they would reach the land of frost Miyuki would hug herself in order to retain as much body warmth as she could, her clothing was made for training and not the snow. She thought to herself; "If I can get the directions from him I could kill him now and use his body fats to make a fire to heat myself up. It'd be just like when I used to use santoryu."

[kojin]

The man was slightly taken aback when even more questions flowed from the woman, all this just to keep her safe, patience was clearly not one of her virtues. He would glance up at the sky a couple times while the woman spoke, once he noticed the sun's position he became noticeably tense, he couldn't believe they had already wasted this much time. His mind was immediately plagued by the countless things that could now happen, he knew that it wouldn't be long, master would be looking for them.

Finally the blonde finished her part, but the man had been so distracted it took him an extra minute to process what she had asked. His eyes met hers and he knew immediately that she was suspicious of him, and admittedly she had every right to be, all though he had been for the most part truthful with her this whole time, with the exception of an omission here and there. He knew he would have to be completely honest about the change he had undergone in front of her, if only he had done the job that was given to him he wouldn't be stuck in this.

Before speaking he would pull down the collar of his shirt slightly, revealing three tear drop shaped marks just below his collar bone,

”Th-this is m-m-master's greatest g-gift of c-c-c-course, w-without it I w-w-would be n-nothing.”
He paused for a moment, almost as if he shouldn't say the next part,
”Th-th-this is why m-m-master is int-t-terested w-with you, n-now p-please. W-we m-must hurry, h-he does n-not like t-to wait.”

If this was all the woman had left to say to him they would continue along the coast of the Land of Frost for a good portion of the morning until in the distance the man could see an dilapidated shack sitting against the ocean upon some rocks.

[❥ cannibble]

Miyuki's answers given and the teardrop marks that were shown quenching her thirst for knowledge, she would move out of the way. By doing this the blonde then continued and followed him as they would travel further into the snow and towards the destination in which the man had wanted to go. As they began to approach a shack the woman had gotten herself ready, fists clenched as she believed that this must have been where the master was. The shack more than likely a genjutsu or an underground lair was hidden beneath, perhaps the woman had just watched too many movies but that was what she firmly believed. Her hands rubbing the respective sides of each of her arms in order to warm herself somewhat as the cold would get worse over time.

[kojin]

The man hurried up the stairs that were naturally built into the rock leading up the shack. The floor of the shack was rather icy with no protection from the elements since the roof had been torn off. He motioned for the woman to stay on the beach as he rushed around inside the cramped shack, for it was exactly that; a shack just large enough for one person to live in comfortably, it held no gimmicks or secrets the man had simply used to hide when he was on the run. Unfortunately his master also knew this would probably be the first place he would come, so he was forced to make haste. After tearing up a few floorboards the man pulled out a scroll and hurried back outside, slipping down the frost covered stairs and landing face-first in the sand.

He recovered quickly and didn't even bother to brush the sand off himself as he opened the scroll and spread it across the ground. Using his nail the man would tear a small piece of skin from the palm of his right hand to draw blood, which he would promptly place against the scroll after sloppily performing some handseals. As the water from the most recent wave washed onto the shore a small boat appeared in place of the scroll. He would immediately offer his hand to the woman to assist her getting in the boat if she so desired, while she situated herself in the craft the man would rush to explain the next part of his plan,

”Th-there is an und-d-derwat-ter t-t-tunnel n-not to f-far off t-the sh-sh-shore, you only n-n-need t-to hold y-your breath f-f-for a c-c-couple m-minutes. C-can you d-do th-that?”

If she was still willing to make the travel the man would begin pushing the boat into the ocean before jumping in himself once the water was up to his waist, he crammed himself against the back of the boat where a single oar rested. The watercraft was cramped, just barely allowing both of them to fit but it wouldn't be necessary for them to be in it long. While the man paddled he would take a few glances back to the coast and up at the sky to reassure himself that they were the only people around. After a final check he focused his attention on the frigid water beneath him, the tunnel was never easy to find, but the last time he had used he made sure to make its presence more known by marking the area with green stones in a shape the mirrored the below his collarbone. It took about ten minutes to finally get there, the man needed to be positive it was the right spot though so after taking a deep breath he leaned over the side of the boat carefully and plunged his face into the water. Through his blurred vision he could make out the stones to the left of the tunnel entrance which would be enough for him to surface again. Shivering violently the man would look at the water again and then to the woman,

”I'll g-g-g-go f-f-f-first, whnev-v-ver y-y-you're r-r-read-dy.”

[❥ cannibble]

Somewhat interested by the man's movements as he had gone up the stairs she would be notioned to stay on the beach. Being a type who also enjoyed privacy the woman would not follow him into there although she did assess it from the outside and genuinely believed that the shack looked absolutely crappy, nothing more and nothing less. The man came out once again and face planted putting a smile on Miyuki's face as a result because she found it somewhat funny.

As the summoning jutsu had occurred the woman was surprised that the man knew how to do such a thing, she had never seen it done before but knowing better than to ask questions at this point she would get into the boat and simply say to the man; "I can hold my breathe for a minute or two."

[/colour] However Miyuki had always been a fan of the sea and had always loved swimming so she was quite good at it as you could imagine. The woman liked the idea of going in for a swim however the sheer cold that she felt in the wind made her feel less happy to do so.

Miyuki would watch as he went into the water, following his movements she would soon be no longer able to see him. After around a minute the man had arrived back at the surface, he wasn't as weak as he played out to be afterall. The woman would nod as he would say that they were in the right place. Miyuki would adjust herself and make sure that the waterproof lining inside of her backpack was still in tact, had her items gotten soaked that could have been the end of them. She would adjust the items somewhat putting the water resistant items at the top while the less resistant at the bottom meaning that the explosive tags and explosives could not get wet. Then she would close everything up and put her backpack back on. With this the woman would dive in and follow the man anyway he had decided to go.[/justify][/blockquote][/blockquote][/size][/font]
