The arrogant Shinobi

[Nagi]

OOC: Theme: youtube.com/watch?v=cw6hSrMvuzE

IC: A tall young man walked down the streets of Waterfall village, his destination unknown to all but him. His burgandy red hair glimmered a bit as the sun came down on him, kissing his face almost as if giving him a spotlight like an actor... good... he would need everyone's attention for what he was going to do. The man stopped in front of the leader's tower, eyeing it with malice, his hate for the current leader obviously showing through his eyes. The current leader was nothing but shit. He slacked off, he was a complete moron and he was weak... well that wouldn't be for long. Nagi threw his hands into the Ram seal, sticking some Chakra to his feet as he ran up the building, his fantastic speed showing as he climbed up with little problem,

"Heh let's see how they like me." Nagi though as he slowly pulled a megaphone that he had strapped onto him earlier. The megaphone was soon pulled to his mouth, a deep breath being taken before these words were spoken,

"My name is Nagi Kiyoshi and I proclaim today that I shall be the new Kage of Waterfall Village! Our current leader is nothing but a coward and a weakling and should not be leading us. The only place we can be lead to if we follow him is to an early death. As Kage I promise that I will protect each and every one of you as best I can and I promise I will make Waterfall more than just a little village that no one cares about, I will make our name be put down in history as something important. My first order of buisness will be to become allies with the Sand and I shall go on my own so none of you have to worry about your own skins. I guarantee you though, I will come back alive and whether or not we become allies with Sand, I will keep my promises that I have made to you on this day and will make Waterfall a better place to live!" he spieled through the megaphone, most everybody hearing that speech including the leader. As Nagi jumped down from the top of the tower, the leader had stepped out, furious at Nagi's current action,

"Who the fuck do you think you are?!" he shouted at Nagi, actually having the thought of sending his little guards on Nagi. Nagi put his hands into the Ram seal, suddenly disappearing and reappearing behind the leader, a Kunai to his throat... Shunshin was so useful for dramatics,

"I think... no I KNOW I am Nagi Kiyoshi, current Kage of the Waterfall village that will create a new order and make a better Waterfall then you ever could." was all he said as he once again used Shunshin to ditch the leader... damn arrogant piece of shit.

X---5 minutes later---X

Nagi stood in front of Waterfall's exit, a backpack full of supplies on his back that his mother had prepared for him. Yes his mother, the strongest woman in all of Waterfall, hell probably the strongest Shinobi as well. Unfortauntly that question would probably never be answered since Nagi could never fight his own mother in a real fight to the death,

"Nagi-sama!" a small woman shouted as she stumbled forward, Nagi turning around to catch her in his arms as he smiled a bit sheepishly,

"Yes?" he asked as the girl blushed deeply, soon jumping out of his arms as she scratched the back of her head with a blush,

"I-I-I wanted to come with you on your way to Sand." she said meekly, her blush still showing as she played with her fingers a bit, shyly looking away. Nagi smirked, shrugging his shoulders as he responded,

"No problem with me, having a beautiful woman to accompany won't be a bad thing either." he ended as he stepped closer to her, lifting her chin up to look up at him seeing as they had about foot of difference in height. The girl gulped, blushing even darker as her long blue hair fell down to the floor. Her eyes stared up at Nagi, shocked at his current action and the next one where he leaned in on her slowly, his eyes looking lustfully into her own,

"Nagi-sama." she said quietly in a lustful tone as she closed her eyes gently, expecting a kiss. Though it didn't come where she wanted to, no instead it was placed on the forehead as Nagi ruffled her hair a bit and patted her head once or twice,

"Let's get going then shall we?" he added as he turned around, sliding his hands into his pockets... wait a minute,

"What was your name again?" he asked, feeling somewhat rude for not having asked before at least teasing her and kissing her on the forehead. She blushed a bit darkly, gulping a lump down her thorat as she responded,

"Asa, Megumi Asa." she stuttered out a bit as she shook her head, trying to get rid of her blush. Nagi smiled as he patted her head again, almost petting it as he added,

"Alrighty then Megumi, I hope you are strong, I wouldn't want to have a weak... underling?" he questioned as he put a finger to his chin in thought,

"HAI!" she half screamed, startling Nagi a bit as he chuckled and grinned,

"Good then I won't have to worry too much about you then." he finished as he stretched his back and walked along side her, two feet between them as they left Waterfall village but not as missing-nin but as Shinobi who wanted to make their village better.

[The Kushinada]

``Stop.``

The Demon arose from the shadows, and swiftly moved to intervene Nagi's departure. The water soaked figure would stand a mere seven feet ahead of the other Shinobi, with his arm extended, motioning for this arrogant one to stop, as verballia was produced.

``You said you wanted to be Kage. Funny--this is a place of power, boy. Only the strong shall lead.``

The arm returned to its side, and the shoulder rolled heavily in its socket, producing a sharp crack, which audibly marked the resetting of the joints. The Kushinada turned from his current position until it was his right side that faced Nagi. His head tilted downwards, and his eyes narrowed.

``If you're strong enough to be Kage..then you'll have no problem in defeating me. Otherwise, stand aside, and let the men take care of this land.``

Here was the defining moment: Tenryu's hands came together, and began to produce handseals. Each position designed by his hands was intricate, and artfully maneuvered to an even more expertise display of acrobatics. Chakra was unhinged from the warrior, and readied for the quick use of assault.

Tenryu kept his hands in a place where his opponent could see them: but, would his foe catch on to the fact that he was making handseals?

[Nagi]

OOC: Sorry for not posting for so long had lots of stuff to deal with so I apologize.

IC: "Stop."

A man had said, Nagi's feet stopping upon hearing the single word. His eyes looked over to the man, looking quite odd at first glance but that was shaken off quite easily. Nagi had seen far weirder things in his life than this and his eyes didn't even bat upon putting him in his line of vision,

``You said you wanted to be Kage. Funny--this is a place of power, boy. Only the strong shall lead.``

The man, or rather, demon added as his arm returned to his side, his shoulder rolling heavily on it's socket as it produced a sharp crack, extremely loud even from the good 7 foot distance between the two,

"Only the strong shall lead huh?" Nagi started as he took his hands out of his pockets, preparing them to pull for a Kunai or any type of weapon to tip the odds in his favor as he continued,

"Then it's a wonder why I haven't been in charge years ago. It is odd though that a fellow Waterfall Shinobi seems so eager to fight me, could it be you have a desire to kill me for some odd reason? Whatever the case may be I haven't had a fight in a good long while and beating your ass might be fun!" he spieled in a tone, LACED with arrogance. Nagi cracked his knuckles as he stretched his back quickly, loving the feel of limbering up before battle. His hand gestured for Asa to put some distance between them as she complied with a hesitant nod and ran off,

``If you're strong enough to be Kage..then you'll have no problem in defeating me. Otherwise, stand aside, and let the men take care of this land.``

The man added as his hands went into seals. While normally Nagi wouldn't pay attention to tiny details like so, truth be told this man did interest him little but he wouldn't show it. No he wanted to play with this man first if he could, he wanted to see if he could get in his head and mess up his game. The mind is far more important than the body in the fight and if he could get in his head then this match would have an obvious outcome,

"But before we start," he said suddenly, somewhere mid-seal, most likely interrupting the seal formation due to the suddenness and the rather loud start,

"How exactly would you like our little match to run? We can do this pure Ninjitsu, pure Taijitsu, or a split of everything. Pure Genjitsu is possible but is rather dull and boring so I think it would be rather... pointless. Personally I'd rather go pure Taijitsu since Taijitsu is the most important thing to a Shinobi but it is up to you, I am throwing you the torch... so what shall you choose?" he finished as he cracked his neck, getting ready to jump into his Thai stance at a moment's notice and start pounding on his fellow Waterfall Shinobi.

OOC: Sorry it is not that great but I don't really feel like going into major detail for the question that I had on my mind. If you could though, after answering the question please do the first attack since I hate doing it... it is just annoying XD.

[The Kushinada]

The Shinobi trained belligerently to attune his mind to the enviroment, and to discipline it into a state of utmost cognizance. To attain such was to enter a realm of nirvana, where even the most rash of obstructions would not distract or alarm the Shinobi, nor would they impede him from his continuation. Through years of training, Tenryu had become adept at performing handseals with little to no effort--and it was through Sanbi that he was able to maintain this, and unhinge the flow of chakra just as easily.

``All out.``

Tenryu did not stop his performance of handseals as he spoke. Rather, he uttered the two syllables whilst finalizing the array of intricate maneuvers, and solidified a final poise, while simultaneously rotating his hands until they were easily within clear view of the foe: Nagi. Because of this multi-tasking, and the fact that he was preparing handseals before Nagi knew of his intent, it'd be feasible that he'd complete his handseals just before he finished pronouncing out, thus allowing his technique to literally begin immediately as the t of the word rolled from his tongue.

Bringer of Darkness! -- The handseals were the key to performing a powerful Genjutsu, which cast an area of effect upon the opponent, and allowed the darkness of chaos to wash upon them, consuming them and eradicating their field of vision. To perform this required only the expulsion of chakra in conjunction with the stimuli in the mind, whilst to reject the attempted 'darkening' would require Nagi to depart the area effected.

Moving in coordination with this technique, Tenryu withdrew and threw a series of three shuriken: one would pass just past Nagi's left side, and move harmlessly behind him. Another would do the same, to the left. However, the middle one, which was thrown in a manner as to attract the wind, and thus due to direction, would make the other two rather difficult if not impossible for Nagi to hear, would head for his neck, for a fatal and quick kill. Due to the placement of the three, sidestepping to either side would prove lethal, as one of the two side-glancing shuriken would strike the neck.

As this was done, and while he likely couldn't be seen, Tenryu prepared another series of handseals.

[Nagi]

OOC: Not exactly sure if this is allowed but personally I think it would work logically but if you have problems please discuss with me.

Nagi waited for his reply, almost as if an eterenity was passing as he stood perfectly still yet completely aware of everything around him but more importantly Tenryu's hands. His hands were going through a lot of seals and by the pattern Nagi could see he was going to use Bringer Of Darkness. Had Tenryu been fighting a different opponent, that opponent might not have known but Nagi WASN'T that different opponent and actually used the jutsu himself so noticing the seal formation was quite easy.

``All out.``the man said, quickly following it with the words Bringer of Darkness. Though going back just a few seconds before those words had left Tenryu's mouth, Nagi's right hand had gone toward his hip pouch pulling out a tiny ball. What was that tiny ball you ask? Simple a Hikari bomb is all. As the words were spoken, Nagi threw the Hikari down on the ground, setting it off quite quickly and since Tenryu would still be looking toward Nagi at the moment most likely effecting him and interrupting his attack since being blind would lower just about anyone's accuracy and probably tell them not to throw any sharp objects since they would more than likely miss.

Though what would happen of Nagi with his eyes closed and a Kunai in front of them tilted toward Tenryu's eyes? Very little actually, the flash would barely distort his vision since his eyes were closed and covered with the Kunai but the Hikari would also dispell the jutsu. The jutsu's effect was to enshroud the opponent in darkness... well what got rid of darkness? The question is redudant, light of course. Tenryu on the other hand would have enough time to react and close his eyes but covering them with a Kunai was very doubtful unless he had reaction time of the gods. Not only that but since the Kunai had been positioned to reflect toward Tenryu's eyes, the light that bounced off would hit his eyes even more granting maybe an extra second of distorted vision on Tenryu's part.

Regardless, after effictively dealing with the Bringer of Darkness jutsu, Nagi would put his hands in the Ram Seal as he made two Mizu Bunshin behind Tenryu. By not yelling out the jutsu name like a moron, the element of surprise was on his hand and since Tenryu would still be blind (assuming it hits and everything is fine) at the moment, he would not see Nagi's hand seal. As this happened, Nagi would quickly charge in, putting himself into his Thai stance as he was about five feet away from Tenryu, right about the time where his distorted vision would wear off.

The other two clones on the other hand had already used Meisai no Jutsu (Camouflage Technique) and blended into a nearby house wall, approximately 3 meters from Tenryu on his left side. Getting back to Nagi, his left hand would be leading as he sent a left jab at Tenryu with great speed comparable to that of Bruce Lee's punching speed. Due to this and the fact that Tenryu wouldn't have fully expected the jab since his recent blindness (assuming again so don't say I auto hit PLEASE), the chances of a solid blow were fairly high.

Regardless of whether he hit or not, Nagi would snap his arm back quickly and send his right fist toward Tenryu's face as a right cross... yeah right. A left jab and right cross were a far too predictable set up as was any left right combination and instead of sending a right cross, Nagi would fake it and instead double up. He would turn his body weight into a left hook toward the rib cage, inflicting great damage if it landed and easily breaking a rib due to how frail the bones were.

After doing so, Nagi would triple up and send another left hook but now at Tenryu's head. If this had landed succesfully (or not), if Tenryu was barely keeping up with the flurry that Nagi had started, Nagi would continue with a right uppercut straight up the middle and into his chin. Assuming it hits, Nagi would continue his combo, sending a left hook into Tenryu's head, a right cross into his nose and finishing up with a left uppercut.

Depending on the outcome of his recent attack, his actions after would be defensive or offensive really depending on how Tenryu dealt with the situation... or if he fell to the simple attack done by Nagi.

OOC: Again if you have any problems DISCUSS it with me before going off and saying I god mod or some shit. I'd rather not deal with that bullshit since I have countless times from total n00bs who can't STFU even when I prove them wrong. Regardless, just tell me if you have any problems and we will work it out ASAP.

P.S.: For the record I am not accussing you of being a n00b but I've decided from now on I am putting that on every fight post I have with a person.

[The Kushinada]

To err is human. -- Amidst his handseals, Tenryu immediately noticed the presentation of the hikari, and reacted with the closing of his eyes. The hikari would likely detonate just before the Bringer of Darkness' completion, and would hope to stop his production of the three shuriken.

Never.

Because Tenryu closed his eyes, the light would not blind him--but it wouldn't prevent him from his throw: he retained a photographic memory of his opponent's positioning, and threw the three shuriken just as they had been: however, because the kunai was in Nagi's face, and his eyes were closed, he would not see them approaching--further, the explosion of a hikari does produce sound, and the closeness of it to Nagi would prevent him from hearing the three Shuriken's approach--it appeared that the shurikens, thus, would approach whilst Nagi would possibly be unaware of their existance.

It was from this point that The Kushinada also produced handseals--likely unseen because of his foe's eyes being closed, and his hands making handseals as well--but granted the light of the Hikari faded, Tenryu was able to open his eyes, and see as normal: thus allowing him to see how his foe would react to the two approaching shuriken.

It was when Nagi did react to the shuriken--if he could, granted he likely wouldn't hear or see them coming--that Tenryu would proceed: the attacks Nagi had planned to unveil on Tenryu's facade had been interrupted through use of the shuriken toss.

I am assuming you threw your Kunai in the same place as before since you didn’t specify.

IC: If Tenryu had expected Nagi to stand perfectly still like a doll and do nothing as his own counter was done, he would be extremely disappointed in Nagi’s reaction. In Nagi’s hand laid a Kunai, a Kunai with a handle and was a very versatile weapon to throw. Obviously the best thing to do with a Kunai would be to throw it at Tenryu in hopes of landing a hit or at least backing him away at the moment. That in mind, Nagi’s Kunai had been thrown as the one Shuriken that had been aimed toward his neck came… but intercepted the Kunai… how did that happen? Simple, when Nagi had thrown the Kunai toward where he last remembered Tenryu standing, he had thrown it to where his head would be. Now due to the six inch difference in height, this position of where the Kunai would be thrown if it was thrown at the exact height toward Nagi would be at the neck.

The other Shuriken had passed by Nagi as his eyes opened right after having thrown that Kunai as he spotted Tenryu’s hand seals immediately,

‘Shit… he’s trying to go for another jutsu.’ Nagi thought as he quickly withdrew a smoke bomb, throwing it in front of him as his hands went through a few seals for Mizu Bunshin. Nagi had no doubt in his mind that Tenryu would pay attention to his hands as well for hand seals and try to guess the jutsu before it was done to be more prepared for it. Though by using a smoke bomb, Tenryu would be unable to see the hand seals preformed as two Mizu Bunshin were created by Nagi. The smoke still covering them at the moment, the two clones quickly did the seals for the Meisai no Jutsu and blended into the surroundings before Tenryu could spot them as they ran down from Nagi’s flanks toward Tenryu as Nagi put his hands into the Ram seal and used Henge, transforming himself into a fly. Before doing so though, Nagi had thrown one Kunai with an explosive tag toward Tenryu through the smoke that went off rather quickly. The smoke that came with Henge had been covered by the smoke from the smoke bomb as the two clones had gotten on Tenryu’s flanks, each throwing a Kunai toward him with an explosive tag on it. The positioning was that the clone of the left had thrown his toward the waist while the other had thrown his toward the head. As soon as they threw the Kunai with tags, the two jumped in the air, each throwing a Kunai with another explosive tag in an X formation toward Tenryu’s head. Due to the fact they had been using Meisai no Jutsu the entire time, the Kunai would have came unexpectedly to Tenryu since he wouldn’t have seen them coming nor would he have heard them due to the explosive tag from before. All the tags would explode two seconds after having been thrown toward Tenryu, only three feet from a touch hit range but due to the 4 tags all together, the blast radius would more than make up for that slight lack of damage, assuming the tags catch Tenryu in their explosion circumference of 10 feet all around.

As all this would happen though, Nagi would quickly fly in his fly form and fly high above Tenryu and actually on top of the gate that was the village exit. He would release his Henge there as he stuck the middle finger toward where Tenryu used to be and had one hand in a half Ram seal,

‘I can’t use any big moves on him until I get him out of the village… I’d kill someone if I did.’ he thought as he quickly used Shunshin to get out of the village, about 50 feet away from it in a forest as he stood in his Thai stance, waiting for Tenryu,

‘If he is as strong as I think he is… he will no doubt know why I fled the battle scene and why I am taking this into the forest… and no doubt he will want to use his own powerful moves.’

[The Kushinada]

This game was over. Tenryu Kushinada would never allow his opponent to prepare other handseals, or to even leave the immediate viscinity. The handseals he had performed would end this sharade once and for all:

Kawairimi no Jutsu! -- The seals that The Kushinada employed were a short series, suggesting that, by the time Nagi could see any of their progress, Tenryu was done, and his stance was replaced with another object within the 10 foot range. What item could that be!?

Recall the shuriken that passed by Nagi's side, and moved behind/beside him, into his blindspot. That was Tenryu's destination--the change of stance would place him in that location within the instant of the final handseal's completion, where upon Tenryu would instantly lash out with his arm in an attempt to deliver a powerful, incapacitating strike to the base of Nagi's spine.

The success of such a move was extremely high: the Kawairimi was a basic jutsu, making it simple to pull off--and since Nagi hadn't seen all of the seals, he couldn't predict this one. Further, the shuriken Tenryu swapped with was close to Nagi, but in his blindspot--by the time he realized Tenryu had done the Kawairimi, his lash out and chop to knock Nagi out would have solidly connected. Even more so deeper: Nagi would be in process of reaching for and throwing that smoke bomb amidst this, suggesting he wouldn't have time to perform handseals, or to move away prior to the attacks unfurling.

Save nothing short of a miracle, it appeared this fight was over--Nagi had made the mistake of letting those other shuriken pass him by, without considering their purpose; though, Tenryu would show mercy--he'd only knock this man out, were such attempts successful, to truly proclaim his discretion and power, solidifying his claim to take over as Daimyo.

[Nagi]

Tenryu’s plan was very well thought out, very effective and very devastating… or it would have been if he took one thing into account once more… he yelled out the name of his jutsu he was going to use again like a moron. Hearing it quite easily since his opponent had yelled it, Nagi’s reaction was simply to roll forward to avoid many different types of attacks that could come from either side depending on which side Tenryu switched with. His right stretched out in front of him, rolling forward as his left went to his hip pouch, still withdrawing a few tags instead. In an instant, Nagi crumpled them into a ball as he threw it behind him, setting it off quite quickly. Now while Nagi did have no idea where Tenryu had switched to when he used his jutsu, the thing was it wouldn’t matter since regardless of where he switched, he would be near the spot where Nagi threw since he threw it directly behind him. Since it was three tags that had been crumpled up, the blast radius would range around 6-8 feet, slightly damaging Nagi since he had only rolled about feet away. Though due to the blast, his body would roll faster away from the scene, pushed by the force of the explosion,

‘Nice move.’ he thought as he quickly stood up on his feet, putting his hands into the Ram seal as he quickly made one clone by him. While he did want to take this outside of the village, the chances of doing so were slim at best and he didn’t want to turn his back on this opponent for a moment… he was obviously good,

“Not bad… but not good enough for me!” Nagi remarked as he charged in toward Tenryu, a left jab being thrown toward his face as it was quickly followed up with a right cross. Assuming at least the cross hits, Nagi’s initial reaction would be to quickly grab a hold of his opponent’s neck from behind, using a palm on palm lock as he pulled Tenryu’s neck and face straight into his right knee. If this attack were to hit, it would be quite devastating to say the least and would cause Tenryu to stumble back. During that time of disorientation though, Nagi would quickly put his hands into the Ram seal and create five Bunshin in front of him, regular Bunshin and not Mizu Bunshin. Since Tenryu would have been disoriented at the time, knowing whether Nagi was in the batch of clones or not would be highly unlikely.

Regardless, during that time, Nagi would quickly transform into a fly using Henge, using the smoke made by the Bunshins as a cover to quickly fly behind Tenryu as his clones all started to send in their attacks, masking the noise that would be made by his flying since their feet would stomp on the floor and thus make noise to cover it out. Once behind him and his clones had Tenryu distracted, Nagi would release the Henge as he withdrew two Exploding tags, one in each hand. These two tags would quickly be placed on both of Tenryu’s shoulders as he brought his feet onto Tenryu’s back and pushed off with his arms and legs and used Tenryu as a springboard. Though the second he did, the tags would go off, Nagi barely escaping the blast and having it push him back farther,

“Boom.” Nagi would say as his Mizu Bunshin quickly used the camouflage jutsu (don’t feel like finding the name again by looking through the posts to copy and paste it >.<) and put his hands into the Ram seal, taking deep and calming breaths,

“Survive that bitch.”

OOC: SOrry for being so late
