Outside the kage's building.

First topic message reminder :

Mr. Eskaru sullenly walked through the devastated city, it was very dramatic, or ah he should say sullen, melodramatic, or even cliched. but such was nature. He looked behind him to see the scathingly mad fellow named Liozen was still behind him. He seemed a likable enough fellow, but he seemed to hold some form of death grudge on the presiding Kage. Stearc chuckled to himself, what could a kid possibly have done to start that, he chanced on not asking. His black eyes looked forward, and saw one of the only standing buildings, The Kage's office, and it would definitely be a morale destroyer if the man behind Mr. Eskaru were to destroy the building.

He turned around, and gestured upward. "This," he said in his most magnanimous voice, "Is the Kage's office, feel free to do whatever you'd like with the man, it's the position I respect." He bowed his head once more, and stepped aside, not sure what this man could or possibly would do given the right circumstances.

-Edited in order to accommodate Dante's post-


Why indeed he mused, walking towards the man whose identity he had yet to inquire, wondering why it was that he'd spared his life. It had been almost instinctual, the deviation in the angle, which made no sense. Instinctually, he was the perfect predator; void of mercy. Though at this moment, it mattered little. In fact, nothing mattered. A vision shaped in the past had finally begun to be realized, and all else paled to utter insignificance in face of that fact. If there was ever a time to indulge his hedonistic self, it would have been then. But years of controlled calculation that'd led to this day held him anchored to his plan and away from the tides of uncertainty. There wasn't a chance that he'd let all his work go to hades for the sake of indulgence. So all thought along that line was moot. In fact, thinking itself was pointless. A waste of time. Everything was going so well, it made no sense to deviate from the plan. But alas, he would have to as from the corner of his eye he caught the looming gargantuan figure of an overgrown furball, moving towards them. Knowing that the likelihood of it peacefully discussing politics over tea were rather slim, he formed a set of hand seals, using his body to conceal them from the sight of that beast.

Electricity danced along the fingers of either hand as the massive beast stopped momentarily before them, roughly 15 meters away. It appeared that the two had not noticed it yet for neither displayed any sign of surprise, or fear. Then again, neither did he. Just as Eskara had begun to speak, he was interrupted as from that distance of fifteen meters he heard a thunderous roar, searing asunder the momentary silence that'd settled over, accompanied by a technique unknown to him, beams of energy searing across from a distance towards them as the lion stared them straight in the eye. Bad move. The beams had barely left its mouth and it had already become arrogant enough to look him in the eye; to attempt and intimidate him using his killing intent. What the furball did not realize though, was that in a world of predators, the lion never fears the jackal. No matter how insatiable its lust for blood was, his was greater. His predatory instinct was supreme. Raising his arm towards the tiger, making a gun with his hand as the index finger pointed straight at its head, he displayed what could truly be described as the eyes of a murderous beast. A monster. Sheer terror would flood the mind of the monster that had foolishly looked him in the eye, destroying its focus and by extension, its chakra control. Some beams of light deviated from their path striking targets randomly, passing by the trio without harming a either one of them while others simply dissipated. They remained unscathed as a dozen odd explosions behind them painting the sky crimson and grey. And at that moment when he had shown the lion his true murderous self, and not a moment later, the tiger stood frozen where he stood, fifteen meters away from the lad as a spiraling bullet of lightning left the tip of his index finger, and made its way straight towards the center of the beasts skull. A distance of fifteen meters would be covered in less than a second. Unless someone rose to the beasts defense, its doom was certain.

[No need to ask, I summoned it from Kirigakure.]

[Then you wouldn't mind linking me to that post.]

[No problem Its here: https://betatestninja.rpg-board.net/t1204-honey-im-home]

[The great ocean is a part of the land of water, not Kirigakure. Even your summon has to enter the village. Doesn't matter how close to the village you docked. Enter separately. Till such a time, we won't consider this post legit.]

[I don't see why not. The great ocean has a shore on the lands of kirigakure, from there my summoned traveled and entered the village through this topic. Plus there are no rules stating that I can't enter a village through someone elses topic nor that I can't have a summon come from travel from where I docked to where you are. It would not be any different if It were myself leaving that area and coming here.]

[Alrighty then. I'll edit my post.]

Mr. Eskaru hadn't been paying attention to the what would soon be seen for what it was a giant fucking cat. Among many other things, Mr. Eskaru hated cats. He turned around about the time he had finished speaking. "That.... Was amazingly fucking rude!!" he yelled out after the beams had been sent flying around harmlessly. He performed a few hand-seals, and created a few hundred ice needles. "Snow Swallow Storm." he said with an arrogant smile gracing his face. He then pointed his hand at the overgrown feline, and the seven hundred accumulated by the time he pointed, took flight directly at the tiger.

Akki zighed and layed there. He might as well help what he can. Akki peformed a few handseals, and started generating raiton chakra in his hands.

"lightning style: shockwave."

He said this in a low tone. Just as the icicles headed for there path a small wave of electrical energy followed, which grew in size but lessened.in power as it went. Akki leaned back. He was saving up chakra, using lower rank jutsu trying not to die.

Akki's clone entered the fight a little too late, but not way too late. The clone, in an attempt to save akki, body flickered straight at the tiger, shoilder lowered, ready for impact. This was the clones final stand as.the.recoil would dispel it since it had taken so much damage before hand.

Timing was everything for this turn of events. Denkou had roared as Eskaru drew the scalpel, and along with that roar was an array of beams soaring through the air. His roar had gone unnoticed at first yet soon he had locked eyes with one who blocked the others view of him. At that moment, Denkou felt a bloodlust stronger than his and he found himself unable to move. Was it the same skill? And at the same moment a bullet of lightning left the man heading toward Denkou's skull. Denkou's laser circus attack was also affected by his inability to move, some of the beams dispersing completely while others went off course of the target. By sheer luck it would seem, one of the beams that went off course intercepted the trajectory of the lightning bullet. The beams themselves were a meter wide and a meter high and move, so as this one would sweep the bullet off course and into its own trajectory, it would have save Denkou from that tragedy. The beams force and mass was greater than that of the bullet which allowed it to do so. A couple of seconds had passed from that point of being unable to move, Denkou had found himself quickly coming back to his own senses, his own excitement rising again. His attack had been diverted by this man's own killer intent, Denkou would be more cautious from this point on.

Denkou had regained control of himself as one began to shout toward him. Something about him being rude. Denkou wouldn't pay attention as he let out another roar releasing a dark fog from his mouth that would cover the area, thirty meters all around from current Denkou's position to be exact. Yet the fog would rise to be about ten meters. Denkou would move, within this fog, from his position at the time the man began forming his ice attack. He would appear as nothing more than a large faint silhouette as he move about, blending in with the surrounding large wrecked buildings. As he moved he could hear a loud explosion at his previous location, it would seem all seven hundred were sent in a linear path at that location, along with some electrical output. Oddly however, Denkou had avoided another attack from what he knew was a man that suddenly appeared at that location in the path of the other's ice attack. Was he also gonna attack Denkou then? Denkou knew this was another being for its body would have glowed with a harmless blue electricity as it would be within the fog. That was another special property of this technique. Anyone within the dark fog who wasn't the caster would gain a blue electric glow. That would be how he determined their locations without actually seeing them. The new body would most likely disappear by being in the path of the other attacks.

Denkou would finally stopped his movement at a new point along the outskirts of the dark fog, about 20 meters from his previous position, yet still within it. He would be on the side of a building and would peer around it to see his prey. He would let out another roar toward the bodies sending a single bolt of electricity toward them. This bolt of electricity was similar to a single beam of his laser circus. It was a meter wide. A meter and a half taller. This beam would go through the weak structures of buildings toward the three, drawing lethal debris ahead of it. This beam held the same intentions of vaporizing them with extreme heat.

[As said by Jaden, energy cannot stop an attack with that sort of momentum and penetrating ability. And as you failed to mention the actual direction of the laser itself, I shall do that too. You cannot say I cannot as you did the same with Eskaru's Ice Bird thingies by claiming they had a linear trajectory. So I'm calling a hit.]

For a moment. Just for a moment, it seemed as if the beast would live. It was true that at that distance, and frozen with fear, it could not be dodged. But what if it were to be blocked? And that is what it seemed would happen as one of those wayward beams of energy deviated from its path to meet the bullet head one at a perpendicular trajectory. And it seemed that it might actually be able to block that bullet. But it was not meant to be. The sheer momentum and piercing power of that technique could not be blocked, or even deviated, by something like that. Not only was it simply a wayward blob-like beam of energy, its source had been disrupted and its power was naturally weakened manifold. Although he could not calculate all that in the split second moment the two forces intercepted, he was the one to have the last laugh as the bullet went straight through the laser, hardly even phased by it, while the laser dissipated before its force. It was over for the beast, a sad loss indeed, as the bullet pierce the center of its skull, going all the way across, leaving the beast a lifeless husk which would collapse on the floor. Due to the linear trajectory of the attacks made post his own, they would pass over the beast and head off in some direction or the other. Good thing too. He wanted that tigers skin for himself. But skinning it would come later. It was likely that there were more of them and he wouldn't wait around to give them an opening. He didn't wait to notice if anyone else was within the vicinity. He formed a hand seal in preparation regardless.

[I know its crappy, but its 5 Am and I have to sleep.

[My response to your claim. As it had been discussed, I don't believe your bullet is to be as fast as you think it. I also don't know what makes you think this attack is so slow or weak that it can not prevent that bullet from reaching Denkou.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdSFkyPqERg

At 6:48 you see how fast this technique is when used by a human of normal proportions. And the power it has as well

THIS being the jutsu in discussion. Compared to a single one of THESE with an electrical property added.

As the beam in discussion was produce by Denkou, who is quite large, is a larger scaled version of the attack. The beam being a meter wide and a meter tall traveling over a distance of 15 meters. I don't see how its own force and size wouldn't be enough to deflect a single bone not much larger than an inch. Even with its added electrical properties, I believe that the size of the beam made of electrical energy should also be able to absorb that of the bullet as well.

Also I think this should be taken in consideration, the rules of counterbalancing jutsus:

Quote :

For relationships between chakra natures, there is a principle known as counterbalancing (相殺, Sōsai). This principle states that two techniques of the same nature would cancel each other out if the same amount of chakra was put into them. For example, in Kakashi's fight with Kakuzu, he was able to cancel Kakuzu's Lightning Release: False Darkness by deflecting it with his own technique, the Lightning Cutter.

However, if one of the techniques had more chakra put into it, it would overcome the other technique. Not only that, but the stronger technique would absorb the weaker one, and the user of the weaker technique would receive more damage than the original amount, as he will have added to the technique. For example, in Sasuke's fight with Itachi, they both use the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique against each other, and Sasuke's technique begins to overwhelm Itachi's only when he activates his Cursed Seal of Heaven. Itachi responds to this by using Amaterasu, the highest level Fire Release technique, which takes over all the fire previously created by the two techniques, and absorbs it and grows to the point of blacking out Sasuke's range of vision.

Also considering your jutsu:

Quote :

~Name~: Drilling Rail Gun Bullet
Type Ninjutsu
Rank: C ~ A
Element: Lightning
Description: Using the Lightning Element, a Kaguya Clan user may induce an electrical charge along his finger tips. Sparks would appear to dance from the finger in question, magnifying the piercing ability and speed of the Finger Drilling Bullet Technique many fold. Depending upon the bone density of the user and his rank, it can go as far as being a technique that cannot be blocked. If all five fingers are used, then the lightning is divided between them. But if a single bullet is used from either hand, the lightning is collected and compressed at that particular bullet, giving it unimaginable velocity.

Its amplification depends on the rank of the user. You're still a genin and that would leave it at C-rank. Compared to this A-rank connecting with it in its own motion.

Since you described the beams of some dispersing and some just going off course, from effect of your predatory instinct, but didn't state which direction exactly, with timing in consideration as well, I believe I effectively used that vagueness to use a beam going off course to intercept that one bullet.

With that said, I would like a formal judgement and until then I believe this topic to be on hiatus until one is made.]

[My turn then? Good. Laser Circus is a channeling Jutsu. It channels energy into beams which then proceed towards the enemy. By cancelling the channeling, the beams would obviously loose energy. It was my bad to assume that the beams would go haphazardly, randomly striking anything. And I'm sure you're going to hold on to that. But no matter what you claim, a channeling technique is nothing once the channeling is stopped. Its more like a shadow of the power the real thing exhibits. Now, I don't know who will judge this... but my first claim is that all the beams should have dissipated. I know that I wrote they went around randomly, but I realize that was incorrect and the show have dissipated entirely. If you feel that you cannot change that event, then there is my second claim which is basically a continuation of my channeling theory is that the moment the channeling would be cancelled, the beams would become infinitely weaker. When channeling energy is the complete basis of this jutsu then stopping that process would end the jutsu and if not end it completely, it would weaken those beams to a degree where a jutsu with such immense momentum and penetrating power would at least cut right through it. That is all I'm saying.

P.s. Doesn't matter if Denkou is 10 ft tall or 20 ft tall, the intensity would be the same. The size may differ. Just by pumping more chakra into a jutsu, you can't make it stronger. You'll just make it unstable.]

{Buddy, I change the way they move, they don't go linear.

This jutsu creates a cluster of ice needles in the shape of miniature swallows, which the user then throws at the opponent. These needles can change direction in midair and will maim the opponent with their sharp wings. This jutsu can be eliminated by Fire techniques.

Here yah go, hope that clarifies things.]

(also,as I said, shockwave gets bigger as it moves. You wouldnt of had as much force but you would have been zapped.

Sooo...)

Alright so I was called in to make a decision here so here we go.

You both have extremely compelling arguments and in some ways you both are right. As Lio said when a channeling jutsu is interrupted it lose nearly all of its strength. Therefore once he intererupted laser circus that attack wouldn't have really been able to do any damage to anyone and its speed was slowed down to the point where it could be easily dodged. I say that because you have to understand that it lost about 90% of its speed and strength. Now what Dante said comes into play. This is an A rank jutsu meaning from base it has way more strength when compared to the C rank Rail Gun used by Liozen.

Because it was weakened though what would most likely happen is that when the bullet hits the beam, the bullet manages to push through because it was so greatly weakened, however it loses its electrical charge and a lot of its force. That being said when the bullet comes into contact with the Tiger's head it can push through the skin and the muscle, but getting through that huge skull after being slowed down and weakened would prove to be too much for the sad lonely bullet. This would leave the tiger unconscious or at the least bleeding from the forehead and extremely dizzy and delirious.

So to recap in case you didn't understand and to put it simply. A rank tech was weakened to a D rank tech due to interruption. C rank tech was weakened due to coming in contact with a D rank tech and lost some speed and strength making it also a D rank, but was able to break through since it was stronger. Unfortunately it lost too much speed to be able to kill the tiger

[In light of the discussion we had in the chat just now, I claim the kill. Mwuahahahahahaha! Thanks Saitou.]

[Okay with that I make Denkou's dying post]

It was too late, he had been careless. To find someone who's bloodlust was stronger than even his was something. His last mental message sent to Dante "I've been shot dow-". It would end there with his life due to the following attacks. He gone, and they all would know it. All being the other tiger summons, when his body would poof dead back to its lands. As he died his eyes still showed great intensity.

[Dies Denkou]

So much violence?! How absurd. It was getting out of hand, a good little sparing match would be good enough for the man who would call himself the god of all that is water. Yes. It was something that he loved to call himself. Well not exactly really. He was just hanging out as he made a dome of water, pressurized, and extremely powerful water. That he had used from that abundance he had gathered during his time here. That dome, being twenty-two meters, and covering the area in which he was sitting. Which was ten meters from his favorite troop of actors atm. He would look at them. That dome was actually a sphere, and ran under water. But it was not visible due to the fog. It was after-all, just like his sword. Something many didn't know about. He would sit on that rubble. Watching. His eyes peering upon them. This little thingy formed before they could finish killing that tiger, and formed from around. It was able to keep water chakra kept inside of it. They could not see him. As he was out of their way by a long shot. All he could do was look at them as he started to form a few handsigns.

Mr. Eskaru bent down over the fallen kage, he brought out his suturing kit. Something he almost always kept on his person after the bout with the fish man a few days ago. He began to stitch back what he could it was still a mortal wound, he saw the demon 'thing' trying to piece the man back together, while he was down there, he also took a sample of blood, he took a flask, and let it pour in from the hole in the man, before stoppering the glass container. He helped the demon thing along it's healing process. He was also taking nips of alcohol from the bottle that had been situated moments ago on his belt. He'd buy more later. He looked back at Liozen, "You're not dressed for this occasion, you going to be alright?" his body having it's temperature drastically decrease while he performed jutsu, was a huge plus for living in this type of environment.

Ankoku hissed at the man as he started healing the wound. Akki gritted his teeth as his arm was reattatched and sowed. His jutsu started to try and knit the tissue back together, but it wasnt working. When the man started using healing jutsu the process sped up. Akki looked at what was going on. Ankoku took the form of a serpent, ready to strike if necessary. Akki didnt think it would need to. Mr. Eskaru maybe a self.centered man but he obeyed a higher power. Akki sighed. He fucked up big time. As the healing continued the bone in his chest was.getting annoying. The jutsu he used was still in effevt, and the arm was close to being finished, though not just yet as good as new.

"if you wouldnt mind..."

akki pointed to the bone.

[*Presses Play On Teh Theme Music to Set Get Myself In The Mood*]

As these Dante's entered the area, a thick fog would settle in the surrounding area up to 30 meters, moving with them as they approached and hiding them visually from all. The effect ability of the hooded man who was now rather infuriated that one of his tigers had been killed. Yet by who? Did it matter? As the three walked, their presence was completely surpressed, not a single thing would escape their being to alert anyone. The simply, could not be sensed at all. As they got closer to the area where the tiger once was, they would see the large dome. Standing 5 meters from its outer edge, yet no where near the person who created such a structure of grand standards. Yet as they faced this dome, a unique phenomenon occured via the ability of the angered Dante. The part of the wall of the dome made of water opened allowing two of the Dante's to enter. The water that was once there would flow inward the dome as a dense fog itself as the inner walls of the dome would be used to make this fog spread through out the entire vicinity within. Still hidden within the clouds.

Yet with a hand seal from the one outside, the fog inside of the dome would be affected. The fog would cause all within the fog other than the caster's clones to glow with a blue electric color as it would touch their bodies. These clones would then run quickly toward the glowing shapes. Two seemed closer together(Akki and Eskaru) as one seemed further off(Liozen). Yet nothing would still escape these beings to alert them. As these clones would close in, the kitanas they had already drawn before even arriving would be ready to perform a slash to behead. One clone was headed for the one called Eskaru, his blade would slash at his neck and would be done with enough force to take off his head. The other clone would perform a similar action yet would rather take his blade down the middle of the body starting from the top of the head of the one called Liozen. Their blades would be within inches of cutting them down by the time they were seen.

Yet what was the one outside doing at the time of these attacks. His hands were in a different hand seal for a different technique. The hand seal had been made right after the fog had formed within the dome. At the time of making this hand seal a great blinding light would escape from his body as it would illuminated the waters of the dome. The transparent and light bending properties of the liquid substance would magnify this blinding light allowing it to shine brighter within the dome and off the particles of the dome. This would color his opponents world white upon sight, allowing for his clones to still go unseen.

Silence, it appeared, had finally returned. The sound of battle died down as the beast, now a lifeless husk, fell from the bullet that'd penetrated its skull. But peace was yet to reach out and take him away from these senseless fight against such weaklings. Though he'd somehow managed to keep his presence hidden thus far, he finally caught a glimpse of the man before fog engulfed him, shrouding his presence as well as that dome, of whatever it was, he'd formed around them. Trapped he thought, cursing himself for not noticing sooner. Fog that seemed to be inconsistent, hiding only portions of the dome. He hated that weather. It was sadly apparent that this fight was far from over, and he wouldn't allow it to end with his defeat. And since it was obvious that the fight would soon be coming to him, there was no harm in preparing. As they had done before, bones emerged from his palms to arm length. Prepared! Just as he was about to search for the man in that ominous fog, he noticed a sudden yet slight fluctuation in the light, or lack of it, entering the dome. He turned towards its source, certain that something had happened at that end where the fog seemed to be least dense. Hardly any at all, in fact. And then it began to thicken, till nothing could be seen at all. He had a feeling that this day had just gotten a lot worse.

And it would soon prove to be right. It was a feeling of dread that'd accompanied this thick fog and now he realized why. It was preparation. Preparation for a technique specialized to the shinobi of Kirigakure. Silent killing. And knowing what it was didn't help one bit. What did help him though, was light that began to enter the doom, much less than blinding and quite bearable, revealing a silhouette. Of a man with a blade raised above his head, ready to strike downwards over his head. A strange manner of introduction in this land. But was he so different? Even though he had only moments to react, his instincts took over. Raising his hand above his head, he appeared to brace himself for impact standing frozen in that position as the sword descended upon him. And then the strangest thing happened. It sliced through his arm as it were nonexistent. And that is exactly what it was as his form suddenly vanished, leaving in its place lightning that seemed to spark in a radius of 2 meters around itself. The clone would be struck by the aforementioned spark, disorienting it for about two seconds. And that moment proved to be lethal as the real Liozen, or his silhouette, would appear 3 meters to the right of the afterimage, launching an assault of Finger Drilling Bullets from either finger of his left hand upon his foe. The timing was perfect. The moment the afterimage had discharged outward, catching the enemy off guard, the bullets had left his fingers to strike the clone at its side and chest. One down. No idea how many more to go.

[You failed to mention the positions of your clones with respect to that illuminating trick.
And about that illuminating trick. A substance can't be both transparent and bend light. Transparency refers to the property of not bending light. But as we know, water is not like that. As I have the liberty to pick one, and science backing me up on this, I'll go with light bending and say that due to the dome, the light was refracted internally to some degree and the rest of it was bent creating a far less than blinding effect. It just appeared as a source of light outside the dome, completely bearable. So none of us were blinded.]

Mr. Eskaru was peering around, the fog was amazingly eerie. He saw the man mention to the bone, so he put it back in place, and kept on healing him. He gave everything the once over, continued, and then felt a strange feeling, like someone was watching him. From somewhere he looked more intently this time, and saw a strange shadow moving through the thick fog, he could view the man from the new jutsu that this man Dante, the cat-using man, had just cast. that seemed to. Amazingly enough, it was very inconvenient, if you could believe it. He stood up, "Sure enough, you can get it yourself now." he'd put it to a less serious degree of injury, but he would steel be reeling from the blood loss. He rubbed his hands together, and swept the katana from his back. By now. the man he'd kept his eyes on was about 5 meters from him. He smiled, and rushed forward. Above being trained to be a medic, he learned that the first to hit, it usually the winner. He was on the clone about this time. He fell directly parallel to the floor, and moved the positioning of his feet, to make him perform a feint, which would inevitably have him end up behind the clone. The added momentum and the fog, would add to the clone seeing the man dissipate into thin air. He swept the katana into the full strike position, and slashed diagonally across the torso of the clone. thereby dispatching one other.

Akki sighed in relief as his body was as healed as far as they can. Now Akki needed to recouperate. Akki watched the clone close in, eskaruintercepting, then the end of the clone. He smiled a bit, then coughed. He rasted blood on its lips. His blood, akki looked at the ground where his blood was pushing against him. Akki bit his thumb, drawing blood. He put his hand down and the blood pushed itself back inside of him. It hurt like a bitch as the blood forced itself into him. Because of the light Akki was able to see where everyone was. Their shadows allowed him sight everywhere. He could.see everyone in and outside the water like dome. Just to see what would happen Akki moved the darkness to try and poke the barrier, it first prepping itself to protect akki. They went to poke the barrier and he wondered what would happen.
