Sõkyoku Hill, A battle to the Death [Kanae vs Emi]

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

The Sõkyoku Hill, a perfect place for a fight to the death. After climbing the thousand stairs to reach it, you enter a small forest of that birch trees. After you leave that forest, you end up in a wide area of plains and rocks which is actually the edge of the Sõkyoku Hill.

Rules: A fight to the death.
Emi has first Post :3.

[~Emi~]

The rain poured down Emi's face as he walked out on the plains, and his slightly strained breathing left a cloud as he breathed out the hot air. it had been a good warm up to head up through all of the stairs, yet he didn't know how long he'd be staying up there so he tried to stretch his muscles a little. The view was incredible from up there, and he still had to look up to see the spire pierce the clouds.

Wonder if there's any cliff that reaches that high.

The air was thinner than he was use to, yet the fresh air cleared his head more than normally, making his senses a little extra tense, especially when it was dead silent around him and not even the rain disturbed the peace. His hands wandered over his inner pockets in his cloak and unto the buttbag, all of the shurikens, kunais and smokebombs were still there. For some reason, he kept on having an uneasy feeling, so he made sure he still had his polearm on his back and then formed a concentration seal, closed his normal eyes, and opened his 6th sense. His inner eye scanned over the cliff and the nearby area, searching for any life. At first, he was only able to locate small birds and one or two lizards, but then something bigger entered his field of vision. The aura was that of a ninja, which made him prepare for an attack, he was after all not in the village right now.

Kunai (Overview)
Rank: "C" Rank
Type: Secondary, 2 per Slot, Piercing/Slashing, Knife
Effect: A digging tool, a bit like a trowel. The blade was soft iron and unsharpened because the edges were used to smash plaster and wood, to dig holes and to pry. Also used as a knife.

Drawback: ---
Description: The kunai is conventionally wrought in ranges from 6 to 8 inches, with the average at 7 inches. The kunai was used by common folk as multi-purpose gardening tools and by workers of stone and masonry. The kunai is not a knife, but something more akin to a crowbar. The blade was soft iron and unsharpened because the edges were used to smash plaster and wood, to dig holes and to pry. Normally only the tip would have been sharpened. The uses to which a kunai was put would have destroyed any heat-treated and sharpened tool like a knife. There could be multiple kinds of kunais such as handless ones, or even double sided kunais as long as they are within the same length.

In modern popular culture, these are called "throwing stars" or "ninja stars". They often have a hole in the center and possess a fairly thin blade sharpened only at the tip. The holes derive from their source in items that had holes - old coins, washers, and nail-removing tools. This proved convenient for the shuriken user, as well, as the weapons could be strung on a string or dowel in the belt for transport, and the hole also had aerodynamic and weighting effects that aided the flight of the blade after it was thrown. There is a wide variety of forms of hira-shuriken and they are now usually identified by the number of points the blades possess.

Effect: Allows the user to move underwater just as well as they would above it.
Special: Passive ability that is always active.
Drawback: N/A
Description: The Hoshigaki Clan are very much used to fighting underwater; their whole fighting style is based upon flooding the field and then forcing the opponent to fight underwater, where the user will have the advantage. Because of their constant fighting underwater, they've learned how to move and manipulate their own bodies while submerged, making them terribly difficult opponents to match when they're in their element. This ability, once learned, allows the user to fight with grace and ease underwater, to the very point that it seems like they were fighting naturally above it.

However, the Hoshigaki's body has a secondary set of breathing tools- gills. By activating this technique, the user becomes capable of switching the manner in which their brain commands the body, moving to use the gills instead of the lungs. In this manner, it is impossible for the Hoshigaki to drown as they are now using gills to breath. To cancel the technique, the user must simply perform the Tiger handseal, ending the effect and transitioning back to the use of the lungs.

Drawback: As with all forms of enhanced senses, they are also more susceptible to their perspective weaknesses.
Description: Sharks have amazing eyesight. Since they often swim the depths of the ocean, where it is dark and what little light that comes through the water is distorted, their ability to perceive minor changes is particularly excellent. Members of the clan learn to mimic these enhanced perceptions, able to peer through the darkest of night as if it were noon and the ability to notice subtle changes like the fluttering of a specific leaf in the wind.

At this time of the day, it was normal for Kanae to be on top of the Sõkyoku hill as she enjoyed training there and whatsoever. It was also a place where no one usually went so it was suitable for her training. Even thought she was just making physical exercises, Kanae has brought her puppet, Meka Otome Biki with herself just in case she had to go in an assault. It was prepared, clothed up and looked like a teenage girl lying down besides a tree at the moment as she has left it there.

As she decided to head back, she walked to the direction where she came from, the stairs through the forest as a view of a boy revealed itself before her. Did he know Kanae was here? Who was this boy? There were so many questions running through Kanae's mind but she knew one thing for sure - That boy was on it's nails and was prepared for battle. "Why not have some fun?" Kanae asked herself as this was the type of person she was.

* * *

She left the puppet that looked like a real human girl lye besides her as she kneed down to hide herself. Her current outfit was perfectly suitable for combat as she only wore her short jeans that didn't even cover her knees and her Bra-Singlet. Teasing this boy a little would be fun for her as she began folding handseals for a technique. After she was done doing so, she held on the final rat handseal and thrust her chakra through her body. "Kirigakure no Jutsu!" Kanae whispered and began folding handseals for another technique as well, which she would bring in use later on. Right now, she focused mainly on covering the entire Sõkyoku hill in her mist or if not, at least the area between herself and the boy.

If the area covered in mist successfully, Kanae would connect her chakra strings to Meka Otome Biki and jump backwards, leaving her puppet where she originally was in the same kneeling position. Now, all Kanae had to do is wait for the boy's actions.

[~Emi~]

A cool breeze washed over him while he still had his eyes closed, and he could feel how the air around him got even more moisturized. By the sudden change, he feared it was the other persons doing and that he now faced a ninja send out into rain on a high class mission. The level on the aura did however calm him down a little as he knew he couldn't detect the strongest opponents.

Maybe he or she have backup somewhere?

The other parts was lifeless, so as he noticed that his enemy send out a couple of strings of chakra into the air and caught something, Emi quickly moved his feet to make himself get a better defensive position. His right opened slightly to confirm that the moisture actually was fog, and then quickly closed again to make sure he would be able to still sense his opponent.

It's an assassin, but does he know who he's fighting? And does he himself see in the mist? Better be safe than sorry

He formed a few seals and then leaned over and placed his hand on the ground.

Doton: Deido Bunshin no Jutsu

The mud around him started to shiver a little, and then it started to rise on several spots. He had within short a small army of sixteen clones around him ready to fight. Emi had them spread out, so they wouldn't be hit by one technique. All of them then drew two kunais each and since the original still had his eyes closed and sensed where his enemy was, he was able to direct where the clones were to aim. They threw one of the kunais and waited for a reaction from the enemy and to see if they hit.

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

Kanae had no way to know where her enemy was, however, perfectly knew what to do. Now that her puppet was active and on feet and mist has covered the entire area, her enemy was probably prepared something to counterattack and there it was, kunai flying towards her, probably threw by the enemy. The fact that her enemy had her direction could mean only one thing - a sensor and by the number of kunai, probably clones as well. This was good for Kanae as she let the kunai all strike on her and after a second, she vanished from ones sight of view and had a wooden log in her place. She has made the preparations for the body switch technique right after she created the mist around the Sõkyoku hill and was now 10 meters away from where she was and about 30 meters away from where she has encountered her enemy for the first time. Judging by the direction from which the kunai flew, she knew that the enemy was still somewhere around there and this was a perfect opportunity for her to counter attack.

The usage of Kawarami disturbed the flow of chakra through the chakra strings and so, Kanae's puppet dropped on the floor again - She didn't plan things out that well but it was good as long as her puppet was unharmed. For now, Kanae has visualized, in her mind, the perfect counterattack that could harm her as well but the risk was worth it. She began folding handseals for a technique again. After she was done, she held on the final handseals and concentrated her chakra around herself, pressuring it, making it take a dark, almost void misty tone. As this was done, she lifted the mass of chakra from her body and shaped a cloud in the sky. Using the wind currents, as well as her precise chakra control, Kanae moved the dark cloud 25-35 meters away from where she was and where her enemy was supposed to be. After doing so, she pulsed her chakra that was still connecting her to the cloud.

If the enemy was still there, they would end up in quite the disadvantage as these clouds wouldn't bring rain, but instead, oil. For now, that was good. Kanae could still see the small piece of wood on the ground that was her kawarami and 5-10 meters away should be her puppet, also getting covered by oil by now. Hidden by the mist, knowing what was ahead, Kanae was more than prepared for the forward battle, but again, just in case, Kanae folded a couple of handseals for future use.

[~Emi~]

The whizzing sound of the kunais flying through the was the only noticeable sound he was able to hear. Emi's full focus on his opponent as the kunais got closer and finally hit him. A little confused why he hadn't tried to avoid any of the attack, Emi lowered his arms. But to his great surprise, the enemy had vanished. His chakra had disappeared the same time as the projectiles had hit him.

Where did he go? or was that an illusion?

But he quickly corrected himself as his sixth sense couldn't be under a genjutsu, his opponent had vanished into thin air. Emi's ears was tense as he tried to locate any movement except his and his clones, but it was for nothing. A wind blew past him and drowned all the small sounds he possible could hear, and then, he felt something sticky land on him. It was as it was starting to rain, yet with an unfamiliar liquid. Fear struck him as he knew he fought an assassin.

Is it poison? is he having poison rain down on me? That's just cowardice.

So before he had been to affected by the poison, he sunk into the ground by performing a couple of quick seals. And since he had no idea if his mud clones would survive on the surface against the poison or if they would simply resist it, he had 3 of his clones to do the same. Before his head entered under ground, he send the direction of where the puppet had been before to the clones, and had them throw their second kunai on where the puppet ought to be if it was still there.

The poison means he's till here, hiding somewhere, I just need to find him first.

Emi sank deeper into the mud, and then started to slowly move through the ground until he was fairly close to the middle of the plain. When he reached the middle, he stopped completely and started to send out his vines from all over his body. They would never surface, so none above ground would be able to see them unless they could see chakra. When he had covered the entire plain with his vines, he waited along with his clones for the opportunity to strike.

Special: ---
Drawback: Cannot be used in conjunction with Tetsubun Tsukene no Jutsu ("Iron Vines Technique").
Description: Vines are either spread underground or into a solid surface. When someone walks on the surface (or ground), it creates a vibration that can be felt by the vines. This vibration goes to the Zassou member, and the vine is connected to the nerves and let us them know if someone is around the user. Through this they can learn the approximate location of the opponent.

(And with the passives noted in the first post, the vines are 150meters each, and I've a total of 26 vines)

[Pricillia "Cillia" Deus]

Things were going great - Kanae was having fun. She didn't know if her enemy was still where she left it, nether her puppet but that was okay for her as she was planning to finish the guy off quickly. First, if they were covered by her oil rain, this would come in handy in the future. For now, Kanae was planning on teasing the guy a little bit more before she killed him, if she could, that is. Kanae jumped backwards from her current location. While in air, she continued folding the handseals she started before and as she landed, slammed her hand on the ground. "Stone Golem Summoning!" Kanae whispered as she forced her chakra to the ground, ricing a stone golem, about 4 meters tall. Since Kanae was experienced with the earth release, two more stone golems would raise around this one in the next 12 seconds or so. Making another jump backwards, Kanae began folding a new series of handseals and as she was done, she held on the final handseal. "Stone Clone Technique!" And five clones appeared in a star formation around her, looking at all five directions around her. "Come at me, Kiddo!" Kanae raised her voice so the boy could hear her clearly. Just in case, Kanae pushed her hand in her butt bag and pulled a kunai, holding it in her right hand and a fragmentation grenade in her left hand. Kanae was prepared, regardless the location her enemy came and she hoped it took the offensive. She was 30 meters away from where her enemy originally was, 25 meters from her puppet, 20 meters from her kawarami, 15 meters from her previous location and 5 meters away from her stone golem which was now almost fully riced.

Techniques Used:
Iwa Bunshin no Jutsu - Rock Clone Technique (80) (30)
Rank: B, C-rank for additional training.
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Using their understanding of the earth and minerals within it, the user is capable of bringing those components to the surface, compacting and shaping them into a perfect clone of the user.
Special: Handseals - Dragon, Snake, Ox, Goat, Snake
Drawback: Because of the dense material they are composed of, the clones are rather slow moving when compared to the average shinobi. A source of earth is also needed. (Meaning, if you are in a ship in the middle of the ocean, you will not be able to use this.) In addition, due to the amount of chakra taken to harden and sculpt the earth, only a maximum of five clones can be created per round.
Description: After performing the proper handseals, the user’s chakra surges into the earth, compacting it tightly to form stone. This stone then surfaces and sculpts itself, becoming an exact copy of the user. When first learned, the user has the ability to create two clones. This amount will also increase naturally depending on the difficulty class of the user. The Clones are capable of using any technique affiliated to their element. • D --- 2 clones • C --- 4 clones • B --- 6 clones • A --- 8 clones • S --- 10 clones. For C-rank training, the user can also increase the amount of clones created by one, up to a maximum 20 clones.
Being composed of stone, these clones are much more stable and durable than most others. Depending on the difficult class of the user, they can take so many hits before losing their form and crumbling. Note that if the attacks these clones take are TaiJutsu, the amount is reduced by one. This means while a clone at C rank might be able to take 2 C-rank Ninjutsu, 1 C-rank Taijutsu strike will shatter it. Unless there is an attack that states otherwise, thrown weaponry and stabbing/slashing weaponry count as D-rank attacks. Bludgeoning weapons (such as hammers or clubs) are C-rank strikes. This is because it is easier to smash a stone then it is cut it. The formula is that for each rank in difficulty the user is, the clone may take two strikes of that level, or any combination, as long as the following applies: 1 S = 2 A = 4 B = 8 C = 16 D. (One difficulty class equals two of the previous) Ex. At B rank, a clone would be able to take 1 B-rank strike, and 2 C-ranks. Alternatively, it could take 2 C-ranks and 4 D-ranks. Many combinations are possible, as long as they add up.
Limit: Earth Release, 'C' rank in Rock Creation.

The more that the user knows the more golems the user is capable of creating forth. Hands must stay along the ground at all times depending on the Difficulty class of the User. If the user is D Difficulty, class the hands of the user must stay along the ground at all times. If the user is C Difficulty Class, the hands can be removed for six seconds before they must put their hands back along the ground. If the user is B difficulty class, the number of seconds increases by six seconds. For every Difficulty class that the user gains, the number of seconds increases by six. These Golems are extremely slow so techniques like the After Image will not be able to be seen and understood.
Description: The user creates a few handseals as they slam their hands down against the ground. Doing so, the user is capable of creating a Giant Golem made out of stone at the size of four meters high. The golems are slow, but extremely resourceful against TaiJutsu like attacks. Each Class up the user becomes the stronger the Golems become in order to be capable of withstanding certain amounts of attacks. At D Difficulty class, the Golems are capable of withstanding Three D Rank TaiJutsu techniques. At C Difficulty Class, the golems are capable of withstanding up to Three "C" Rank Jutsus before suddenly shattering. At B Difficulty Class, the Golems are capable of withstanding up to Six "C" Rank Jutsus before suddenly shattering. At A Difficulty Class, the Golems are capable of withstanding up to Nine "C" Rank Jutsus before suddenly shattering. At S Difficulty Class, the Golems are capable of withstanding up to Twelve "C" Rank Jutsus before suddenly shattering. When the user learns a higher version of the Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique) the user is capable of pushing through yet another Golem, but one Golem must come out every six seconds.
Limit: Needs the Earth Release, Must have knowledge of Doton Soushi no Jutsu (Rock Creation Technique).

[~Emi~]

The mud around him was cool and quiet, every time he stopped in the earth like this, Emi always felt so relaxed, like if nothing really mattered and that he now could just be. The only vibrations he could feel was from when his own clones which neither one actually moved much. But then several of his vines started to feel intense movements in the earth, and a lot of it started to gather in an area about 25 meters from his current location. The ground had several small pockets left from all of the earth jutsus that had been used, but they were quickly filled with water and more mud.

So if I would've used to many earth jutsus simultaneous, the earth might crumble and actually be proven traps. I need to learn how to use that.

Emi's thoughts had slowed down, and the needs of actually hurry seemed unnecessary. But he made his vines to connect with some of the trees and started to drain them from chakra. Even if he didn't know if he really had to do it, he still took the safe road to guarantee victory. Emi then had 3 of his clones on the surface to form seals, two of them was going to make three mud gorillas each, while the last one should make six mud birds. The chakra drain was straining him, but his breathing was just getting a little forced, while he kept on draining chakra from the trees, trying to fll up the now missing amount.

Idon't know where the assassin is, but he might be along his mud creations.

Emi had still not felt any vibrations that the hostile creatures had moved more than to stabilize themselves, so Emi had his gorillas charge out towards the enemy along with two clones, hoping the mist was still hiding them the whole time. The clones were suppose to stop about 10 meters away from the hostiles, while the gorillas would engage. If the gorillas would successfully get into melee with the targets, the two clones would blow them up.
