Haruka vs Hana vs Hakkyou[Say what!]

What does a man have to do to gain power? How many lives does one have to take before they reach the next stepping stone of their power? Does countless hours of solo training help one attain the power that they seek? Or does countless battles with others who are considerably stronger then them? But does that consist of battling everyday till one’s physically and mentally become program to battle, too the point that they react on a subconscious level? Reacting without the mind registering one’s movements? One can not find the answer they seek for by word of mouth, for words doesn’t give you experience. Experience is gain when flesh makes contact with one another...that’s when experience is gain from.

And it was this experience that Haruka Satsuo, a genin from the Takigakure seeks. His quest for power wasn’t born with him, but instead it manifested within in after returning from his time in the Takimagikure village. For it was there that he found something that would change him slightly and that my friend was the Infinity Armor. A chest plate that absorbs the chakra out of other objects[ei: absorbs chakra out of garra’s sand, etc.]. And it was this armor that Haruka wore underneath his normal black gi shirt. There were no noticeable bulge that could tell someone that he was wearing a chest place. The rest of Haruka’s attire consist of black gi pants and black footwear that came just above his ankles. He decided not too wear his tradition trench coat, for he fear that it would hinder him. Tied to the right side of his hip was a sheath that contained a standard katana. Nothing more...nothing less.

The ocean blue eyes of the genin known as Haruka eyed the area that he was in. Trees liter the surrounding area, creating various hiding points that enemies can use for their advance. The terrain wasn’t the normal type either, for it was rocky and slightly jagged with rocks. If one took a closer look they noticed that Haruka was standing in a slanted angle, making a point that it was an upward slope. No trees were behind the genin in fact, there was a drop off three meters behind him. So the only way one is going enter this terrain is from the low point, given Haruka the advantage for he was on the high ground.

So who was Haruka going to fight you ask? Well that my friend isn’t certain for he had made an open challenge to two higher ranking ninjas. As of yet no one had bother to answer the call...but maybe...just maybe someone will. And now the waiting game begins.

Temperature: 72 degrees
Wind Speed: 5mph West
Terrain: Rocky...

Crows cawed and surrounded the girl as she stood on one of the trees, arms crossed and her eyes covered by her hair. On her face was a smile, dark and foreboding. She had headphones around her neck, and her katana was at her side. She held our her hand and one of her crows landed on it, cawing before it rubbed its head against her arm. Ejiki Hyuuga looked down at the boy who had sent both her and and another Chunin to a challenge.
"Little snake, the crows have come. You might want to run."
She cracked her neck as the crows began flying around her, blocking her from view. This would be interesting, to say in the least. A little Genin who wanted to fight?

She would be a horrible person if she didn't oblige, now wouldn't she?

Haruka’s ocean blue orbs looked in the direction of the first girl who had spoken too him, his face was devoid of any sign of emotions but if one could look into his mind they would see an eerie smile. Tilting his head slightly allowing the words of the female to soak into his brain for they to be process...like a compute processing information. “One can’t not learn without fighting, no? Isn’t that the idea of all creatures. When they fight...they gain experience that otherwise they couldn’t gain.” His voice was low and calm, during the time he spoke however, his hands were weaving through hand signs. By the time he had finish talking he would have finish the need for the jutsu he loved soo dearly.

A mysterious mist casually rolled within the area mixing in with the one that’s already there engulfing those that were within the vicinity. Most shinobi knew of the hidden mist technique but none knew of the various that this genin had created. For his was not only a mist but a toxic. Within moments those that are caught within the mist will have eye irritation. Then if they still stay within the mist they will experience pain in the nerves that is latter followed by their pain reactors get blocked off. In a nutshell at the last stage of the mist, they won’t be able to feel any pain...no matter the amount. Besides the mention benefits the mist also acts for a cover for Haruka...similar to how one of the female’s appearance was hidden by crows.

“Haruka Satsuo of the Waterfall...” He said, waiting for the females to attack. For he himself doesn’t have to as long as the mist around for it is attacking for him. While he waited for an attack his mind was going through where said opponents can attack him for, there was enough angles to attack from and he hope they use these said advances....for as of now the only advance he has was the mist and that he was on upper ground...thus making surprise attacks...useless.

Ejiki simply pulled her headphones to her ears and moved out the mist, then formed a few hand symbols as the crows began cloning themselves, forming even more. Out of the air, clones of her began dropping down from the huge murder. She closed her eyes and smiled.
"Go get him."
She couldn't see him, and she didn't plan on simply going in herself, so she motioned for the clones, exact replicas of her save the Byakugan, to go in. They simply cawed instead of using human words and ran into the mist. From her position, Ejiki spoke.
"Little snake, little snake, come out, come out."
The crow clones echoed her words as they took to random positions just close enough to the edge of the mist that Ejiki would be able to see them if he attacked one of them.
"Too scared to come out of your little fog?"
Again, the clones echoed within second-increments of one another. She wanted to psych him out. The more creeped out her was, the easier he was to down.

Nothing wrong with a little play.

Mentally Haruka was disappointed that he had yet to hear agony from those that were within the area. Because for those that were caught in the mist would experience extreme eye discomfort, which usually prompt most people to rub their eyes...thus their focus would be on themselves instead of the one they are facing. Holding one’s breath doesn’t secure their safety from the mist for their eyes were still vulnerable. However since none of this happen or at least not to Haruka’s knowledge, he just simply listens to the words of the female who had spoken before. Right away he founded her to be an idiot for talking...since it gave away her locations. Not only that it also gave him a since that there were multiples of her there...which could only mean one thing she had created clones. “Lovely...” Was all that he said in a barely audible voice. The taunting that the female was doing would be wasted breath for Haruka wasn’t fallen for that.

The young genin was about to weave more hand signs, when the sound of a tree bending under weight was heard causing him to become more alert to his surrounds. Being smart to always keep moving, Haruka decided to run too the left side of the mist, once his feet was nicely planted. The sound of metal hitting the ground caught his attention...he barely escape being a pin-cushion...barely for being he got a couple of nicks on his face from falling objects. “Ufo...unidentified falling objects...lovely.” He said mentally to himself, weaving hand signs once again. Once completely five clones that were identical to Haruka was formed around him. When the clones were made the sizes of the mist would decrease though it wasn't that noticeable.

“One Edge...three forward...one stay.” He said too the clones, as the one closest to his right began to make it’s descend down the cliff edge. This was due to Haruka hearing the “howl” of a dog from down there and wanted said clone to check it out. The clone had a simple order too become a “suicidal clone.”. Which meant the clone would charge at anything that fought it. It might seem useless but one doesn’t understand these weren’t your normal water clones. When they make contact with another organic thing, the said thing would become paralyze instantly, thus preventing movement of sorts. Three of the four remaining clones were other surface from out of the mist. The clone further to his right would run four meters before moving downward stopping at the edge of the mist. The clone further to his left would do the exact same thing, just on the opposite side.

And then there was two; Haruka was standing behind the last clone he made in a slight angle. Though his placement had changed slightly, for he didn’t want his clone to disperse easily. “Into the spider web one is afraid to come...” His clones said in a mocking voice.

Ejiki tilted her head. Well, the boy was smarter than most. She could probably guess her clones were slowly going blind from the mist, as she knew one of them was finding it harder to breathe. What to do, what to do...

Ding.

"Mist means moisture..."
She got just close enough for her jutsu to work and formed several handsigns, lightning pulsing through her left hand. She grinned and slammed it to the ground, causing the lightning to discharge through the ground and all throughout the mist cloud. Lightning and water, her FAVORITE combination. Again she spoke through her clones as they turned back into crows to fly out, then shifted back to clones.
"I told you to get out."
She backed away a little as the crows swarmed about, and her clones stood around her.

She didn't like playing on other people's terms. She sure as hell wasn't gonna play on his. So if the little snake wouldn't come out willingly, she's electrocute him until he did.

{{OOC: Hakkyou, you failed to capture the weapons I threw at you, however, because of the vagueness from it, I chose not to kill you.}}

The lovely party began as the clones were sent out and blah blah blah. As the male directed his clones towards the directions they had to go to, Hana placed her hands together to form some symbols with her digits. And so, three holograms moved to other trees as the girl moved forward a bit more, still avoiding to get near any area with mist. The girl, unfortunately, became pinned against the tree she was standing in with the three shurikens she threw at her. The holograms fled outwards before changing directions, making it seem like the girl came from all over the place. Once more the wolf howled and the cavern captured that howl to create the echo. As the holograms fought on the offense with those clones, Freya bounded outwards, her paws digging into the ground. Leaning down, she grabbed a stick, marking her place quite well. Hana would leap down, her knees pressing against the side of the wolf as she bounded forwards. The wolf would skid to a stop as their placement was still away from the mist and the clones. By then, did the holograms attack and in that sense, Freya used that skidding momentum to let go of the stick, letting it fly forwards. The edge of the stick was sharp as if someone had been sharpening for some time. However, the stick flew on through towards the middle clone and into the drop, marking it's place through the ding dabbed middle where the true only stood.

Three kunais would be thrown in that same general direction before Freya bounded off eastward, the girl reaching into her pouch to take out those same shurikens from before. A couple towards one side, allowing one to slip on by to the other side clone. Her hands pressed against each other once more as her mint hued optics closed. Freya bounded backwards as the girl completely finished. An electrical spark coursed through the area like the poison in veins. She grasped the hilt of her weapon as a large crack would echo throughout the area. Once more, Freya bounded off, still keeping their distance away from the mist.
