Practice lets go

[Kyojin]

OOC I wanted to try fighting on here if someone would help me learn it'd be nice. Please Private message me first.

[Kyojin]

The sun shone brightly on the large clearing in the middle of the forest. A small girl sat on a branch in a tree surrounding the field. She yawns "What a sleepy day, Wheres the fun in that?... If only I had someone to play with.." She stands up and looks around the field. The green grass and flowers swayed in the gentle breeze as the rustling of the leaves could be heard clearly. "Not a sound to be heard. Serene....I hate it... Why can't Kaeor give me a mission.." Something catches her attention. "My my, whats coming now..."

[Haihei]

The grass rippled throughout the field like water at the base of a waterfall. It was a beautiful sight to behold, the sun reflecting off of the grass and flowers strewn about the field. The wind rustling through the foliage of the trees sounded almost as if the gods were speaking amongst themselves. Despite this beautiful scenery, there was something rather wicked hidden within. Anyone that had heard of Hebi would recognize it, assuming they could tell that this mysterious precense was even there.

As the trees swayed to one side, the dampened sound of feet colliding with wood emminated from a tree on the outskirts of the field. A young man landed upon one of the branches, his wooden sandals colliding with the untampered beauty of a tall oak.

He was a rahter young man, twenty years of age. His slender figure was amphasized in the black kimono he wore. The bottom was torn at about the shins, and his back bore the design of a rather infamous clan. The design of a large gold gate being taken over by a large tree was the tell tale sign of a Yakashito clan member. However, this clan member was much more infamous than his forgotten family members. His dark gray hair covered one eye, and his infamously disturbing smile crossed his narrow face. It was the infaoums Yakashito Ikkaku, the scout of Hebi.

He quickly jerked his neck to the left, then right, craking the bones. He then flicked his right ear slightly. "Ah, found you..." he whispered to himself. "...but I'll wait for them to make the first move." he snickerd, flicking his ear once more. He then sat down, leaning his back against the trunk of the tree, his leg hanging off the end. He cringed slightly, and what sounded like two pebbles hit the ground below. He was ready when they were.

[shinik]

Mist began to cover the forest. The grass was no longer visable. Their was abslutly no sound. Who ever made this Mist was sure not to be seen. Mina made her way throught the tree making sure she spotted everyone that was around. Mina made way around the whole forest making sure she knew the area and where the best hidng spots were. She was hidden from sight not able to be seen thanks from the mist. She was already hidden perfectly.

Seeing all this potentiol arund her She made her way to the very lowest part of the forest where the mist was most thickest. Mina was ready to stike anyone or anything that moved in her sight. Nothing was viasble to her oppenents. Mina made sure she had the best protection from Anything.

[taizi]

"Well, this mist sure makes things difficult to see. Good thing I already know where you are." Taizi had been following the swordswoman for quite some time in his Kagekuki no Jutsu - Shadow Stalk Technique. "You can run, but no matter how long and how far, you will never be able to out run your shadow."

"Shinzembi Kage Mane no Jutsu - The True Shadow Imitation Technique!" Taizi slowly rose from behind Mina, out from her shadow. Taizi's shadow then began to attach to Mina's feet from near point blank distance. "Just try and escape death." He readied his hands as the speed of the shadow increased. "Kagebuki no Jutsu - Shadow Weapon Technique!" A Shikyokarasus emerged from Taizi's shadow. Nearly instantly as it left its owner, the Shikyokarasus began to change shape. He constructed it into a lightweight sword for speed and precision.

[Kyojin]

"Finally, all the players and cast their dye..The first move has been made, this play has entered its first act." She begins signing "A dismal note calls to the darkness, Bringing forth the sound of the reapers cry. Tenshoku tame za Nai Bunsho (Calling to the Dead Note)." With this said a giant funeral bell appeared in the middle of the field hovering in mid air. Youkai re-notched her arrow and let it fly at the bell.. " Time to commence this symphony of destruction."

[Haihei]

And abrupt surge in chakra caught the young Hebi's attention immediately. Ikkaku flicked his ear once more, and began to listen. It was apparent that the fight had begun. However, he was unsure what to expect. However, one noise caught his attention over the others. It was the sound of an arrow being locked into a bow. This made him nervous. He had heard of a woman that fought for the Akatsuki from his ally Jun, a master of information gathering. If this was that woman, then the sound of her bow being drawn, combined with the surge of chakra would be bad. Not just for Ikkaku, but for the others as well. However, he was not worried about them.

Ikkaku then closed both his eyes, now able to see where the young woman was. This was done by disconnecting his optical nerves, and reconnecting them to the leaves of trees, functioning like a camera. He had found his enemy's location. The grass nin's right arm extended towards the center of the field, toward where the large bell had been summoned. It took him a few moments, but he had gotten the proper angle on his opponent.

He gritted his teeth as four thorned stems forced their way out of his palm. "Shouni Yadama no Jutsu (Rose Missile Technique)" Ikkaku whispered under his breath. Suddenly, with an aburpt surge of little chakra, the stems blasted out of his hand. The green thorned stems blasted through the air, the red petals resembling the flames of a rocket. They were aimed at the lone arrow that was now hurtling through the air at the bell. Odds are, one of them would his the arrow, if not, Ikkaku and his opponents would be in for a very rude awakening.

[shinik]

Mina jumped into the air quickly. She slid out a flash bomb. It wasnt to big but it was good enough. In mid air Mina threw the flash bomb down on her shadow. She wasnt hight enough to leave her mist. As the flash bomb wnt down she saw a shadow conect her. She was yanked down to the ground. As She was falling she saw a sword get formed. The flash bomb hit the shadow conecting the two tho. She heard of this Nara. Afterall Mina was originaly from Konoha. She killed the shadow that conected the two and ran off deeper into the forest.

[taizi]

Taizi had watched in amusement as his prey ran off in what he could only assume was fear. "People never are able to just accept death, can they? They must feel that they have a chance of escape, some hope. But that is my favorite part, right before they die watching that last shred of hope disappear. Thinking that God will have pity on their souls. THEY DO NOT DESERVE PITY!" Taizi calmly walked farther into the forest following the swordwoman.

"Now see what god truly has in store for you!" Taizi took the shadow sword in his hand and stabbed it into the ground. He then used the Kagebuki no Jutsu - Shadow Weapon Technique again to create a longer staff, pushing him into the air. When he reached the top of his height, he quickly used the Kagebuki no Jutsu - Shadow Weapon Technique to change it back into a sword. He then plunged the sword into his own body, but no blood came out. "Akutenshi no Noboru - The Evil Angel's Ascend!" The sword returned to its shadowy state, covering Taizi. 2 Shikyokarasus flew from the shadows on the ground, allowing Taizi to then grow 2 huge black wings from his back.

"It is time you repent for your sins. The wicked shall perish, and the righteous shall reign. But noone in this world is righteous, they must ascend into something greater. A truly Divine being. A Divine Shadow in my case." Taizi had then analyzed the area around him, developing a plan.

[Kyojin]

Youkai watched as her arrow was snapped in half by one of the vines. "And now I know where you are too.." In a fluid movement she brought together a concentrated amount of chakra into a ball in her had, With another slight flick she hit one of the tuning forks on her belt ever so light to produce a tone. Once the fork was ringing she moved the ball of air over the fork and concentrated the sound to move in the same form the air was. This created a ball of wind unseen by the normal human eye. "Stop the wind itself you fool.." With an outstretched arm braced by her hand on her forearm Youkai gave a slight Heeyah as she shot the sound ball at the bell. The invisible mass made a b line directly for the bell moving at an incredible speed. "If you counter this." She muttered "Then time for a new game.."

[Haihei]

Ikkaku quickly disconnected his spying techniques, allowing him to feel the incoming swarm of chakra. He was correct in his assumption of this opponent being a sound ninja. As a matter of fact, he was 100% sure that this was Youkai of the Akatsuki. He was glad that Jun's information actually did come in handy. However, her information wouldn't be the thing to save him from the incoming attack. That, he must take care of on his own.

The orb of wind and sound was moving too fast for Ikkaku to have time to create a barrier to stop it from hitting the giant bell. However, it was not fast enough for Ikkaku to defend himiself against whatever may come his way.

Fortunately, Ikkaku had thought ahead. He remained seated on his branch, his leg hanging off of the edgs with his back against the trunk. "Mokuton: Mokuzai Enchou (Wood Style: Wood Dome)" he whispered under his breath. He smiled maniacally as the wood from the tree he was against quickly blew outward off of the trunk, twisting around Ikkaku as he remained seated on his branch. This was the rare element of Wood. It was a hard one to use, and rare to see. However, the young boy had mastered it at such a young age. The wood rapidly encased Ikkaku in a small dome of solid wood. It was enhanced by chakra making it a very sturdy defense.

As the last bit of wood closed around him, both his eyes sealed shut. "Shokobutsu Oni Manako (Plant Demon Eye"" He stated. His sight was now once again reconnected to the leaves of the tree he had taken residence of. He was now able to view, everything outside of his little sanctuary. However, if he somehow lost track of one of his opponents, and they managed to break through his barrier, he would be completely open from attack. However, this barrier was resistant to nearly everything, including the hottest of flames. It was Ikkaku's ultimate defense.

[shinik]

Hearing all the diallog before the wings sprouted. Mina took her hand out infront of her. "This should settle as a distraction for now at least" She mumbled slightly.

As soon as she said those words a large chakra source could be felt gathering in her hand. There was a lot of power within that hand. She watched as the little sphere formed in her hand. It was a ball of chakra. It wasnt so powerfull at first tho. the power just got stronger after that. A lot of power was within the palm of Mina's hand. She looks behinde her should as she could here here yelling. She heard numorous Jutsu. She then heard somthing comming out. Mina didnt really care what it was. She just looked behinde her and threw the ball at the ground. It make a hurific explosion. If the Nara was as smart as she thought. He would know what Jutsu was just used.

[taizi]

Taizi was now hovering 50 feet above the ground. He watched as the explosion occured, missing him entirely. "Well, is that the best you have got? I must say I was expecting a little more than this. Maybe this mist is hurting your eye sight too much. If you had seen how high I was flying, you would have never used that attack. All you have accomplished is destroying forest, which will eventually just lead me right to you," Taizi said with full confidence and in a slightly mocking tone.

Taizi rapidly began to flap his wings, causing a strong wind to begin pushing the fog away from forest and the rest of the battlefield. "Let us see how you fair without your little smokescreen."

[Kyojin]

Youkai cracked a smile as the wind/sound ball smack into the bell. The large bell let out a giant BONGGGGGGGGGGGGG as it began to ring drowning out any noise even that of the explosion in the forest. The low rumbling of the bell could be heard for at least a mile from the size and force of impact. With that she jumped out from her branch towards the bell, Doubious intent was not masked on her face. Making a slight movement she pulled out small bells in her hand ready for someone to counter attack. When she was half way to the bell she stopped dead in her tracks. "Watching me you little brat." She began signing and as she did a ring of flames started to form around her at her feet. "Lets see how your flowers like a little fire." Once the flames had gotten high enough she began her wind burst technique "Mikon Kazai.." She stated. The flames began to flicker and spread. If the jutsu went un-interrupted the field would surely be set ablaze.

[Haihei]

Ikkaku's face cringed slightly as his leaves were set ablaze. However he quickly reattached his sight to yet another tree. He was able to switch from one leaf to another in a split second, allosing him to keep an eye on his opponents at all times. This made things much more difficult for his enemies than many of them expected.

A smirk crossed the young grass nin's wicked face as the bell shook wildly. He was safe from the effects, locked inside his barrier of chakra enhanced wood. Fortunately, he had planted to seeds before the battle even started. They had had enough time to fully sink into the ground. Very few people understood the Yakashito bloodline. This tiny family was able to produce seeds from within their body. Not only that, but they could control the rate at which the seeds grew into plants, as well as the size of the plant itself. Ikkaku had been doing that since the beginning of the battle. Those seeds he had planted had been growing into the field from the beginning.

Ikkaku smiled as he viewd his attack from the trees. He thought of how much fun it was seeing this young Akatsuki woman dance to his attack. "Tsuru Heishokukan no Jutsu (Vine Entrapment Technique)" Ikkaku thought to himself. A wide series of enormous thorned vines burst up form under ground. Their large thorny precense could be seen from deep within the woods. The vines would quickly and elegantly wrap themselves around the Aktatsuki's limbs, suspending her in the air. That is if she didn't dodge. However, she would need to do so quickly, so that Ikkaku could finish her off. He wished to keep too many of his vines form burning amongst the flames that had been created. However, some of them had already caught fire, but remained obediant, bending to his will. The blazing vines would just not last as long as the ones that were undamaged. It did not matter though. All Ikkaku needed, was for that damn woman to get caught in the first of his many traps.
