[Mission] Terminate & Retrieve! (Nasdaq/Outcast) Part II

Posts : 193

REPOST: Yamato listend silently. It came into his thoughts that he was thinking a little too hard at the mission at hand, and changed his demeanour a bit, relaxing. It was unusual how simply deciding to take it easy, as he felt the stress in his head loosen, and his body felt his body, which was slowly tensing up the deeper they have gotten into the subject. He took a deep breath, taking in the smell of mist and fresh earth, nature entering his body. He took in the details the young but skilled Chuunin spoke of about the target, and though listening intently, he only showed a response when asked about his abilities, in other words, his usefullness as a shinobi and a future tool of the Mizukage. Somehow some simple question like that triggered an unknown determination in Yamato that even he didn't know about, plunging his emotions deeper into supression and motivating him once more.

"Well, obviously im young and still developing my skills. But of what I already have, I specialize in distractions, diversions, but more importantly my status as a member of the Yamanaka clan give me the advantage when it comes to capture, recon, and espionage," said Yamato calmly, though speaking to the ninja, deciding to divert his attention to the possibility of their target somewhere near them. They had drove deep into the forest at this point, and the closer they walked into it, the more the weight of an assassination layed on them. He began to tell Hachirou about the various Ninjutsu he knew, his affinity to water, the basics of the academy, the village classic Hidden Mist, and his secret Shintenshin Technique - The mind body switch jutsu. "In other words, since he is most likley to underestimate a genin like me, and since you have superior abilities, we can use me as the decoy and your techniques as the main attack," said Yamato, formulating strageties now that they were on the subject. However as his mind was working something came across his train of thought.

"By the way, what are your abilities?" asked Yamato curiously, as it dawned upon him the only real thing he knew about the shinobi was his name. He was unusually curious about the ability of an upper shinobi.

"I'm an assassination and combat specialist. What what means exactly will become readily apparent when we find our target." he replied coolly, not out of any particular malice or dislike, but simply out of reflex; he was not acclimated to giving out information about his abilities to most people, even other shinobi of his village. The boy had some mental talent, at least, to have come up with some sort of way to make himself useful; it was a decent plan, too, and one that Hachirou already had considered. Honestly, though, from a simple mathematical standpoint they had the advantage in that the Suihou knew he could go toe to toe with the target, and the presence of even one more body swung it more to his court than before.

He continued to pulse out that murderous intent, wondering if there was any other way to flush this foolish bastard out. His body was moving on autodrive as he lept from tree to tree, covering a vast amount of distance in a very short time. Of course, so could their target.

"Valuable though they are," he began suddenly, frown forming on his face for a brief moment, "They should have assigned us a sensor for this mission. Right now we're trying to find a kunai in a haystack. Still, I suppose its better than the time they wanted me to execute a single shinobi during a massive training exercise. That was more like trying to find a kunai in a pile of kunai."

Hachirou chuckled at his own joke, pushing the annoyance out of his mind; after all, it paid to be flexible.

Scroll in hand, Akumō refused to pace himself as he burst through the forest of fog in Kirigakure, he was nearing his hideout and knew he was in the clear, he had disposed of two Sound ninja that were chasing him back in Tea Country, he couldn’t wait to sell the powerful scroll to the highest bidder, he thought to himself as he ran across the moist floor of the forest. ‘People are so stupid, money is true power, not this silly scroll.’ he smiled beneath his gas mask, though such an expression could not be seen. From an outsiders perspective it appeared Akumō didn’t know the power he had in his possession at this very moment, little did he know that Otogakure weren’t the only ninja tracking him, the Mizukage had sent two shinobi to kill the Nukenin too, but he would continue to sprint through the forest in glee that he was in the clear, until he heard chuckling, he came to an immediate stop, making sure not to kick up any dust or make noise he quickly hid behind a bush and surely there was two Kirigakure ninja. ‘Shinobi of the mist? No, impossible. Are they out to get me too?!’ his mental thoughts appeared to intensify as if he became disillusioned with the idea that everybody was out to get him, though in this case; he was right.

‘I have to get past them, but they are just walking.’ he continued to think to himself, almost appearing to begin a strategy, though he remained panicked. What to do, what to do? The question crossed Akumō’s mind many times before he would act impulsively, irrationally in fact. Underestimating his opponent, he believed there was no way that these two youngsters were capable of going toe to toe with a man of his age. Though Kirigakure wasn’t a village one should underestimate because of their age, especially with them having the youngest Kage’s ever and at such a powerful level, it appeared their game had been lifted ever since his reign started. Being a resident of Water Country, Akumō was aware of this, yet he still acted stupidly, almost unlike a shinobi as he decided to prepare an attack. Making sure the scroll was secure firstly; he moved his hand to his cloak and put it in one of his pockets on his jacket, on the left pectoral. He performed a single hand sign as he whispered to himself. “Shadow Clone Jutsu.” a clone of himself appeared next to him as the clone Body Flickered over the other side, as the two Kirigakure ninja journeyed into a bit more of an open area, still surrounded by bushes it was time to strike. The clone burst out of the bushes, and hurling five kunai at the eldest of the two shinobi, three of edging toward his body and the final two at his head, the clone prepared for any incoming attacks either of the shinobi had but this was a mere diversion, the real Akumō burst out of even quicker, not making a noise into he reached his target in a blurry flash, appearing underneath the youngest shinobi, surely catching both of them off guard Akumō raised his right leg fiercly, aiming for the boys chin, if it was to connect as it was expected to at since the element of surprise of the combination, the boy would be propelled into the air, allowing Akumō to follow this up with a secondary blow as he would leap in the air behind the boy until he got higher than him and follow it up with a devastating forearm to the boy’s throat which would throttle him into the ground below. He would enough time to land such an attack due to the elder of the two shinobi being distracted by the Nukenin’s Shadow Clone, it seemed the devious Rogue had a plan after all.

Quote :: Name: Kage Bunshin no Jutsu - Shadow Clone Technique
Rank: B
Type: Kinjutsu/Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Kage Bunshin is a Jounin level Ninjutsu technique. The normal Bunshin technique creates a copy of the ninja that lacks any substance. The Kage Bunshin distributes the ninja's chakra evenly among the clones and creates a real copy with form and substance. The clone itself can also utilize any jutsu the original ninja knows. When the clone finally disperses, any new knowledge it has gained is passed back to the original ninja and any additional clones. This makes Kage Bunshin an excellent training method if the ninja has the chakra capacity and stamina to maintain the Kage Bunshins for an extended period of time. This allows the ninja to essentially reduce the time it takes to train and learn with each clone added.

Name: Shunshin no Jutsu - Body Flicker Technique
Rank: D
Element: N/A
Description: Shunshin no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. The ninja will appear and disappear in an instant, allowing them to retreat or attack suddenly. To facilitate the movement the ninja will often use nearby elements such as mist, sand or leaves to mask their appearance or disappearance.

Name: Konoha Senpuu - Leaf Spinning Wind
Rank: C
Type: Taijutsu
Element: N/A
Description: This taijutsu attack uses a combination of speed, strength, and the element of surprise. It is a perfect move to link up with other aerial attacks. For this taijutsu, the ninja utilizes a great deal of speed to rush in just below the opponent, and by raising his dominant leg, kicks the enemy right on the chin. This would send the victim flying up into the air. The attacker can then proceed with an even more devastating follow-up attack. Leaf spinning wind is very hard to dodge, since the movement is so fast that the opponent will likely see the user's movement only as a blur.

It took a short small bit of chakra but a massive amount of reflex for Hachirou to grab a log from the forest nearby about his mass and swap it with him, but was nevertheless completed without too much trouble. The chuunin watched as the kunai embedded deep into the wood, casting splinters as Hachirou moved to retaliate. He launched off a storm of refractive spheres from his mouth in a sweeping cone, charged with explosive power. The barrage was aimed to shower the area around the enemy, whom Hachirou was assuming was their target given how deep they were into Kirigakure no Sato territory. Apparently the shinobi had been driven to attack just as the Suihou had expected, much to his delight. He grinned as his hand moved to rest on the hilt of Ankou, though he refrained from drawing it just yet.

He realized that in the initial strike, he'd lost track of his young partner, a fact that did not bode well. The chuunin let out a second stream of bubble, this one intending to fill up the area to give him a better picture of what was going on as he readied himself for the fight. He needed to lure his opponent in before he revealed his trump card, knowing good and well that the opponent's abilities were poorly suited to fight his own fighting style. He just had to get it all set up. The bubbles filled the clearing, Hachirou intending to make it impossible to move without him being made aware of it. With any luck, that would allow him to better track his opponent, and find his young comrade.

Quote :: Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu - Change of Body Stance Technique
Rank: E
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: N/A
Description: Kawarimi no Jutsu is a basic Ninjutsu technique. When in danger the ninja will quickly substitute themselves with another nearby object. This can be a block of wood or even another person. This allows the ninja to quickly flee and hide while the original object takes the brunt of their opponents attack.

Name: Awasandan - Bubble Shot
Rank: C
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Bubble (Water)
Description: A Suihou will fire a barrage of tennis-ball-sized soap bubbles at his opponent at a very high speed which only those with high speed or quick reflexes can dodge. These bubbles, upon contact, will burst violently, splattering water everywhere. Due to the speed at which the bubbles are launched and the burst of water released upon popping, this can cause painful damage to the opponent in the form of scratches and bruises.

Name: Bakuhatsuawa - Explosive Bubble
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Bubble (Water)
Description: An original technique of Hachirou, Explosive Bubbles are less their own technique and more a special application of his clan's existing Bubble techniques. It can be used with existing techniques, infusing them with explosive power. Small bubbles, around six or so inches in diameter, carry the explosive power of an average explosive tag. Larger bubbles gain equivalent explosive power, but take significantly greater chakra to produce as a result, as well as personal risk; if popped while the user is still nearby, he may be caught in the blast. The Bubbles can either be made to work off contact, proximity, or remote detonation.

Name: Scattering Bubbles
Rank: B
Type: Ninjutsu
Element: Bubble (Water)
Description: A Suihou will first create hundreds upon hundreds of 6 inch wide bubbles, which will spread out far apart. From then on, every time the bubble hits an object, the Suihou will know the location of said object. The bubbles can be made to circle the opponent in a wide circle or can be sent in other directions. This technique is mainly used to track or predict the movement of others. Since the bubbles are so small, they will be practically impossible to see in poor to normal lighting. These bubbles do not have an increased elastic surface.

There was a small and silent pause between him and Hachirou, it wasn't as if the conversation, a bit short, was getting akward, it was the small pause Yamato recognized, before an attack. There was always that short moment of silence, as both parties realize they both exist, and somebody initiates a strike. Yamato heard some rustling nearby, the type not formed by birds taking off and causing leaves to fall, it was the sound of somebody coming out of hiding. A tall figure burst from the bushes among them, but his brain worked incredulously fast. At first, because of the low light of the forest, it took half a moment's notice to actually spot who the person was, but as the descriptions matched from the man infront of them, to the target's descriptions in his head, Yamato suddenly became filled with adrenaline and the spirit of battle, it was the target. His body started to work as well, as he saw the multiple kunai headed for their directions. His legs worked like pistons and propelled him to the far right, seperating him from his comrade. His hands were machines, automated to form the handseals for the first stragetic technique in mind, the Water Clone Technique. It was then he noticed the kunai weren't aimed for him, but for the chuunin. The ninja was trying to take out what he thought to be the most troublesome of the two, the older, more experienced one. All these thoughts hovered in his mind, occuring in splits of seconds. The handseals were complete, and he stopped his moving. The wet forest ground and low-clinging mist provided enough moisture to form 4 genuine clones of water, that formed a circle surrounding him, each about 3 feet apart from him. He was now 5.

He wanted to see if Hachirou was okay, but he couldn't risk being distracted in battle, and has a right reason to believe so. All he saw was a blur of killing intent heading straight for him, so he didn't have time to form handsigns for more specific techniques. Instead, he could only initiate an academy classic, the Substitution Jutsu, otherwise known as Kawarmi. However reaching out into the woods to grab a log was to troublesome, and too difficult as the shinobi was travelling at a fast pace bee-line towards himself, so Yamato grabbed the closest and possibly the most effective substitute he could find, one of his own shocked-faced water clones. The initial use of the Water Clone would've already confused the shinobi as to where the real whereabouts of his location was, but now with a sucessfully traded places with one of his water clones, it was a guessing game for Akumo. But as the missing-nin dashed up to his now replaced clone, he saw his foot rise, and the clones head explode into water, Yamato merely a foot away, though well disguised among his brethern. Akumo had sucessfully destroyed a clone, but he had placed himself inside a ring surrounded by 3 more and Yamato himself At the same time, Yamato formed the handsigns for the Water Prison, and as his clone's head was blown off by shear physical might, Yamato stuck his hand into the clone's back, out through the abdomen. "Water Prison Jutsu!" he said, as another clone behind Akumo threw himself at him to box him in and provide more water for the technique. With luck, Akumo had thrown himself into a trap, and would be caught, but Yamato wouldn't know for sure unless he saw him safely in his prison.

Name: Mizu Bunshin - Water Clone
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Suiton - Water
Description: The Water Clone Technique is similar to the Shadow Clone Technique except it creates clones out of water. Like other solid clone techniques, the clones can be used to perform tasks the user is unable or unwilling to do for themselves. After being dealt enough damage, the clones will revert back into their natural water form. The range of the clone is limited however, as it can not travel very far from the original body without losing control. Like other clone techniques, if the water clones are injured enough they will revert back to normal water. Up to 4 clones can be created at once.

Name: Suiton: Suiro - Water Style: Water Prison
Type: Ninjutsu
Rank: C
Element: Suiton - Water
Description: This jutsu is used to trap a victim inside a virtually inescapable sphere of water. The only downside to this technique is that the user must keep at least one arm inside the sphere at all times in order for the victim to remain imprisoned. This jutsu requires a sufficient amount of water, which can be provided by expelling it from one's mouth. Despite the fact that the prison is made up entirely out of water, it is stronger than steel. Once trapped the target is unable to move while within it due to the heaviness of the water. Because of the density of the water it can be used, to a limited extent, for defensive purposes if performed on oneself. Water clones can be used in preparation for the jutsu, which block an opponent's attack and trap the attacker in the prison using the clone's own water.
