Training on the borders {Private, no kill}

As the boy releases the chakra from his feet and begins to plummet downwards, Messiah sees a million possible ways in which he can thwart the boy’s attempt to dodge his strategically launched attack. He immediately reacts to the older boy’s movement downwards, imperceptibly twitching the fingers to which the wires are connecting the shuriken. Both of the shuriken nosedive downwards until they are almost at Kinominki’s level, at which point they begin to curve off in opposite direction. Now, one shuriken is slightly above the other, so there is no risk of the wires intertwining or the shuriken clashing together. The shuriken will continue to curve around in separate directions whilst moving downwards, until they are at Kino’s level. At the point where the shuriken are at Kino’s level, they both will have moved in a full circle in opposite directions, so that the wire forms a loose circle around Kino’s torso and arms, not yet touching his body. This will all occur before Kino has landed on the next branch, he will still be upside down, dropping. This is all merely an instant after he had begun to drop.

Once the loop of wire is formed around Kino’s torso, another twitch of the fingers will send the shuriken moving in straight lines, each in the same opposite directions that they had been going previously. This will cause the ninja wire to tighten around Kino’s upper arms and torso, constricting his movement. The two shuriken on either end will fall to the ground, all of the slack used up. Now, keep in mind, Kino will still be on a downwards path from his drop from the branch, his head facing directly downwards towards the branch beneath him. This constriction will cause him to be unable to move his limbs or angle himself into a different position to change the course of his drop. If this maneuver is successful, Kino will continue to plummet down, not being able to change the course of his body. The top of his skull will smash into the large and thick branch below him with jarring impact. Kino will not have fallen from high enough to crack his skull, do any brain damage, or break his neck, but the impact will certainly knock him unconscious. If all goes according to perfection, the boy’s unconscious body will be splayed out across the branch, bound with wire. He will be unable to move his arms, or his body. Kino will hit the branch below him before he even has time to react to the falling or try to escape from the ninja wire.

If this all works out, Messiah will sigh, the boy did have pretty good speed, and a good grip on his sharingan, but his perceptiveness in battle would still need work. He should not have overlooked the fact that the two shuriken had wires attached to them, allowing Messiah to manipulate them at will. With a twitch of the finger tips, Messiah will then yank Kino out of the tree, using the wires still attached to his fingertips that bind Kino, sending him tumbling to the ground. This will bang him up a good deal, but not kill him or cause any serious injuries. Messiah will walk up to Kino’s unconscious body, lying helplessly on the ground. Frowning, he will nudge the boy with his foot in an attempt to wake him up.

Messiah will then suddenly notice the other boy, standing on the ground, who had been having a brief conversation with Kino, none of which Messiah had been paying any attention to. Messiah will turn his head towards the boy on the ground, smirking at him. He will disconnect the wires connecting his fingertips to the two shuriken from his hand, as he does not want them dragging behind him and being a burden. Kino will already be bound and unconscious on the ground, he will not be waking up for a good deal of time, he will be of no threat to Messiah at the moment.

“Do you want to fight as well? I’m always up for some more battle,” he will then turn his entire body to face the boy on the ground, taking up a defensive stance. Messiah will form a short series of hand seals, preparing a powerful technique. He will mould a large mass of fire chakra in his chest cavity. He will then rapidly release the fire in 7 small fireballs. Messiah will not aim any of these fireballs directly at the boy, rather, he will aim them so that they are closely outlining his body: 1 a few inches above his head, and 3 lining the boy’s sides. There will not be enough space between the fireballs for the boy to squeeze through the pockets in between them. The only direction that the boy will be able to move in is backwards, but the fireballs will follow him, moving at a bit faster than his speed. So he will constantly be surrounded by them until they reach out of range or burn out in the air. There is also a large tree just 2 meters behind the boy’s back, he will not be able to back up very far before he has to stop.

Messiah will charge less than a meter behind his fireballs, drawing his Heaven’s Sorrow Ninjato with his right hand as he runs. When he is upon the other boy, Messiah will aim a swift left jab to his opponent’s nose, transforming his left hand into a large, steel boxing glove right before impact. It is highly unlikely that the boy will be able to avoid this attack, as Messiah is faster than him and he does not really have any place to go. The concussive force of this metal glove will send the other boy flying backwards into the tree behind him. This strike will surely knock him unconscious.

Messiah will be proud of himself, having defeated two opponents in such a short timespan. Either the shinobi from these parts were weak, or Messiah was developing his battle skills at a rapid pace.

If all goes according to plan, both of Messiah’s opponents will by lying unconscious on the ground, one slumped against the trunk of a tree, and the other lying, bound by ninja wire, on the ground.

[TWC = 3,146]

(I'd like to skip my turn as my response depends on Kino's response since I don't know if he'll be caught or not, so if Kino would like to respond first, that would be nice...)

[Yeah, that's fine. We can skip you this round.]

Kino landed on the branch, an instance after he noticed the shuriken changing position. Wire would surround his body, closing in on his body, it had not yet touched. There was plenty of room to continue with what he was doing, he slid, gripping onto the branch. His hand was staying attached as he let his grip loose and he fell the way the shuriken were heading. after they passed of course. He noticed the shuriken were flying in opposite directions, at that point he attempted to grab for the wires. If successful he would drop, letting the flying shurikens stop, and fall without spinning or posing any danger. If not, he would still drop, seeing as their overhead and in the branches of a tree, he would be safe.

[I stated that this all happened while Kino was dropping, he misread. After discussing this with him on Skype, my hit is claimed; he is now lying on the ground bound and unconscious. Messiah proceeds with his attack at Halo. Your post Halo.]

Yari watched the whole scene unfold. The one guy attacking the other guy and taking him out so quickly. He wondered what was going on as he watched how the guy got bound by the wires that were made from the plant earlier. Curious at what was happening, he moved to speak to the not-unconscious guy just as he turned to him. "Wha-..." That was about all he could say before the boy claimed the was always up for a fight.

Without even giving Yari time to answer, his hands were moving in front of his chest and a moment after 7 small fireballs were heading towards him. Not one to take a fireball barrage head on, Yari simply jumped to the side taking him out of the direct path of the fireballs and the boy who was rushing in right behind his attack. If only he wasn't so very hungry...

"No thanks. I'm just looking for Konoha..." And with that he rearranged his backpack and cloak and started walking towards the direction the now unconscious guy had pointed, hoping that he hadn't been lied to. What a bunch of weirdos... I ask for directions and they knock each other out... He hummed a tune to himself as he carelessly walked away from the scene.

[exit]

[Was told by Kino to skip him. And Halo, you only have 19 speed, probably not enough to simply step out of the way of 7 C-ranked fireballs clearing a very short distance towards you.]

Now, Messiah was only standing around 3 meters in front of the boy, and the C-ranked fireballs are a bit faster than his sluggish opponent. The fireballs clear the very short distance instantaneously, before the boy even begins to move. It is clear that the boy is going to try and get out of the way, as it would be completely insensible to merely stand there as a barrage of fire heads your way, but the kid is simply too slow. By the time the boy jumps, the 7 fireballs are already upon him, outlining his body. The boy clearly thought he would have time to avoid the attack, as he had already begun to jump to the side. The problem is, by the time he is jumping, 3 fireballs are already right beside him; he jumps right into their path.

Messiah is still trailing behind his jutsu, ready to execute his left jab, but when he sees the boy jumping into the fire, he pauses, shocked. Messiah had not meant to burn the boy or to seriously injure him, the fireballs were simply meant to immobilize him, opening up a window of attack for Messiah. Yet, the boy had thrown himself directly into the fire. Messiah is stopped, directly in front of the boy as he jumps right into the 3 fireballs, one connecting with the side of his neck, one with his upper torso, and the last with the side of his thigh. The rest of the fireballs pass through on their natural course before dissipating.

The flesh on the boy’s neck is melted away, leaving a good and ugly 2nd degree burn. The boy is lucky to survive being burned in a spot like that. His upper cloth is then set on fire from the fireball aimed at his torso, the burns will worsen for each second that the fire is not put out. Finally, the boy’s lower cloth is set on fire from the one aimed at his legs, again, the burns will worsen for each second that the fire is not put out. The fire continues to spread, as the single and simple cloth that the boy is wearing covers up to his head as well. The boy’s scalp and hair is now set on fire, and in due time, the boy’s face will be swallowed up. The boy is now a flaming mess, his whole body set on fire. This is bad, really bad, why did the boy have to do this? Messiah just wanted to aim a simple punch, why the hell would this kid throw himself into oncoming fireballs? Was he suicidal? Did he have a death wish?

“Stop drop and roll!”, Messiah yells, echoing a lesson that he had been taught as a child. He wishes that he had some way to put the fire out, but he has none. This is going to be up to the boy, either he will have the sense of mind to put out the fire himself, or he will sit and wait as his body is swallowed up by the flames. Maybe Kino could have some way of helping, but he is lying unconscious on the ground; there is nothing that he can do either. This is a complete disaster. Messiah lifts his hands to his head, pulling at his long, black hair. He frantically searches for a way to correct his and the boy’s fatal mistakes. Messiah promises to himself that he will not let this innocent traveler dies, but as he watches the flaming young man, his death seems more and more inevitable.

Messiah begins to blame himself for what is going on. This kid had just stumbled along, he had wanted nothing more than directions and some food, and Messiah had attacked him. Messiah supposes that he had been far too battle hungry, he should not have flown off his handle and attacked this simple traveler.

All of a sudden, a blessing from the heavens occurs. The thin layer of rain that had been previously falling had not been enough to put out the intense flames of Messiah’s jutsu. However, the rain immediately begins to intensify, pouring buckets down from the skies. Messiah is soon drenched, and this rain is enough to put out the flames that are eating away at the boy’s body. He has already been burning for a good minute and a half to 2 minutes, so his body will be covered in very bad 2nd degree burns. The boy will have passed out from shock at this point. Messiah will tentatively approach the burned body lying on the ground, only to be horrified from what he sees.

The boy’s clothes are completely eaten away, and he is naked. Everything is still in tact, everything is still there (even the most important male appendage thankfully for Yuri), but horrible burns cover the boy’s body. His hair is gone and his scalp is mangled by the flames. Messiah gasps, the boy’s chest is still heaving, he will be clinging onto life desperately at this point. Messiah suspects that Kino will also be woken up quite soon, with the cold rain cascading over his body, yet he is still bound, and there is no time to unbind him. Messiah is going to have to take this guy to his own village’s hospital if he wants this kid to live. Messiah hoists the unconscious Yuri over his right shoulder and begins sprinting back in the direction of Tengakure, he needs to get this boy immediate medical attention. Messiah’s bottom lip quivers as he is reminded that this is all his fault.

Messiah vows to save this young man, he feels very bad about what he has done and hopes to god that Yuri survives. He does not want to kill an innocent bystander. That was never his intention. Messiah picks up the pace, he needs to get this kid to the hospital fast. Time is running out.

[Exit with Yuri]

[TWC = 4,149, +20 stats, +41 JP. I did not mean to do this Halo, I didn’t intend on hurting you, but I have to be logical in my rp, I can’t just say nothing happens if you jump right into 3 fireballs. Sorry dude.]

The boy continued to walk away from Kino's position, though Kino was knocked out. He was having a nice dream, forgetting everything that happened temporarily, however his sleep was cut short. He heard thunder, and noticed he was laying down on the ground, tied up by wires. "Shit.." He said, the rain poured down from the sky, Kino could only look up hoping lightning doesn't strike. His clothes were growing wet, he sighed, he'd have to walk into the village like this and make his way home. That is assuming he could escape from this. He may be stuck here for a while, he figured, though the though was cut short when the wires and weapons transformed into vines and two rocks. His eye brows raised, on staying lowered, the boy used a transformation technique to create a weapon? It had been a good move, Kino supposed.



The vines were loose, Kino could get out of them quite easily, they weren't as challenging as the wires. They were much larger, Kino could stick his hands through and pull them off himself. He sighed, successful and now free, though still having to walk home in the state he was. He walked home, through the forest, not too far from the village. The wet clothing slowed him slightly, though not too badly, he still could move nearly his top speed.




He sighed, and decided to use his head for once. The answer to getting home and avoiding a jog through the village while wearing wet clothing, was of course Space-time. He performed a series of hand signs, it ended with a small rectangle pointed in front of him. A door way opened from nothing, and he stepped through into a hall that had stretched on infinitely. The doorway he stepped through closed as soon as he had entered, making it so no one could enter in after him. He sat down against the wall of the never ending hall way, and sighed. Perhaps he could simply dry off here, or perhaps he could simply teleport to his house, and dry off there, perhaps a warm shower first considering he was already wet and slightly cold. He had hoped he wouldn't catch a cold. He had no way of telling, at the moment, on how long he had been out there in the rain. He simply stayed there, having not yet decided on what to do. Drops of water were coming from Kino's hair and clothing, he was air drying, perhaps he could simply stay here for a while, though his clothes wouldn't get completely dry for a few hours. He didn't plan on staying here for that long.




He stood up, sighing. He turned to his right and started walking, it had been the direction where his home's doorway was in this dimension. It was quite the walk away, he didn't feel like running, too tired, after that fight. Besides, the cold feeling of wind hitting you while your wet, he didn't feel like feeling that, especially since he could be sick, or get sick. He simply sighed and continued, thinking. He thought about his life once more, this spar only proving he was still weak. Perhaps he simply needed more training, or perhaps he was doomed to be weak, though he refused that to be the fact, he wanted to gain strength to protect his new homeland, not allowing it to fall as his other two did. He walked in silence. The silence had been broken on few occasions, the sounds of dropping water drops hitting the wooden floor of the dimension he walked through had often annoyed Kino, he couldn't wait to go dry off, perhaps take a nice shower.



He approached the doorway, and looked into it. He saw his living room, a small room with white flooring. He performed hand signs, opening the doorway. He would step through it. He arrived in the living room of his apartment in the Uchiha district, he remembered buying this apartment with what little money he had back then. He sighed, and closed the doorway from the giant hallway fo a dimension to here, preventing anyone from crossing through it. He simply sighed, and went for his bathroom.




He grabbed a towel from his hallway's cabinets. He then walked into his bathroom, and took off his more darker clothing, and then all the rest. He then walked into his shower, it had a slide open door. There were two options to bathe yourself with, a bath tub, which you could lay down in and relax a little more, though Kino preferred the stand up shower room. He turned on his shower, it was cold at first, but he didn't mind. He turned the hot level of water pressure the same as the cold, the water was warm, the perfect, more relaxing temperature for him. He washed his body rather rapidly, eager to eat a nice steaming bowl of ramen.



He got out, soon after finishing, and began to dry himself. Kino headed for his room, and put on some dark robes, something he wore while he slept. It was simple clothing, nothing too fancy, nothing that would have been too expensive for him to buy. He sighed, making way for his kitchen. He began to warm up some ramen in a small oven, adding flavoring and mixing it together, leaving it to only cook now. He let the ramen boil up until it was finished, meanwhile he decided to put in a little extra training.



He walked over to the center of the living room, and performed half a back flip. He landed on his hands, both of them. His palms were flat on the floor, then he lifted up his right hand and balanced on his left. He sighed, sticking his right arm behind his back, hand in the shape of a fist. He bent his left arm properly, bending it how anyone would. He was doing one armed push ups. He continued to do this until the oven timer rang. He got up, then ate a healthy meal, then slept down on his bed, having somewhat pleasant dreams. He would awaken in the morning finding himself on the couch.
