The Master's final lesson [P]

The figure that he was currently running towards at full speed seemed to be unable to counter him. So instead they decided it would be somehow best to just raise up their hands to try and block the blades. Quite foolish honestly, Takeo knew of the power that the blades on his finger tips held. It was enough to cut through the body of this girl like paper. Though that would not be happening as soon as he had hoped. That was because of the other unknown presence that was within his home. He sensed movement coming from them in another room. His mind quickly realised what they were attempting to do, and his body acted accordingly. From his left hand blades were also created. So by the time the person had gotten up and made the hand seal to Body Flicker Takeo would be ready with his other hand. He didn't slow down of course, keeping at his maximum speed while running. It was quite lucky for the person to manage to Body Flicker exactly in front of him. In fact it was so highly unlikely Takeo wondered how they managed to pull it off. If it were any other situation Takeo would admire the skill of said person, or at least admire the amount of luck they had. Unfortunately now was not the time. Having fully expected the movement his left hand would be poised ready to strike. Already moving somewhat because of his running motion his blades would strike forward. By the time the boy's fingers would be about to wrap around Takeo's right hand his own blades would be within the boy's ribs. If the blades did pierce through the ribs then it's stun would do it's work. The assailant's body would go limb, as his nerves and muscles would become affected by the lightning that coursed through his body. The hand would never reach his right one, leaving it un-gripped as the body fell to the floor. Takeo paid it no mind however, as he still continued to move. The falling body in his way somewhat slowed him down however, only for a second though as he quickly hopped over it. Continuing on his path his right hand's movements would not change, slashing horizontally towards the girl who was trying to defend herself. Seeing how she had made no attempt to move, it would be likely that the blades would easily slice through her forearms, lobbing her hand's off a few inches above the elbow. The hand's would sail through the air, but Takeo would not stop there. The blades stunning effect would once more play it's role. With the lightning that coursed through the girl now effectively immobilising her Takeo would make a movement with his left hand, one to slash across her face. Not aimed to kill the girl however, just one to cut across her eyes. If all of this played out as stated above, then the blades would cut through the girl's eyes blinding her.

It was now that Xyxer believed was the time to find out what all the commotion was about. Puffing out his ANBU cloak that surrounded his body like a shroud, the man's body instantly became a gleaming metallic hooved demon as the Abysswalker came to be. He could still hear screams and lots of movement so this was good; there would be a lot for him to do. His ANBU sword held lightly in his left hand he made his way through the door and into the room where the fight would be occurring, making sure to evade the buzzing and electrical blades that he also possessed, continuing to scan what would happen without much of a worry that he'd die. A faint pulse of purple ran through his eyes and his vision distorted for a second, his view changing; an omen of the old Xyxer and his views of everything as distorted and in need of cleansing.

Just like the the vision, Youta's eyes would now be glowing in a faint blue. She also felt the change, the Rentei knew she had this power, but until now she could not summon it or if it happened she could not control it. If she had more time, she would have hoped this was not one of those case. It would seem someone else clashed with the one who tried to attack Youta. Provided the blades are prevented from harming her, the girl would shift her weight on her left leg and then push off, jumping backwards and increasing the distance to the fight. This would happen immediately after Haru performs body flicker and appears beside her attacker. Just to be on a safe side, while still in the air she would make three hand seals, so when she lands a moment later, now a good three meters away from them, two images of herself would land with her, doing it on the same time it would sound like all of them are real.

Haru would see the man’s blades beginning to move for his ribs. Luckily, when he body flickered, he had moved far faster then Takeo was able to track, so even though the man magically knew exactly where to aim, it would still take him time to begin to react to Haru’s movement, and precious moments were saved, allowing Haru to move to intercept this. Thankfully, Youta would have the sense to get out of the way.
 
Haru’s right hand, having not been able to begin the palm thrust he had intended, but still on the path of motion needed to preform the next motion, would reach around, avoiding the blades, and grab the man’s left hand hand before it could make contact with his body, trusting the already gathered momentum to keep the figure from changing direction of the strike. If the grab was successful, he would bend Takeo’s hand upwards, so that an audible crack could be heard, his hand being bent straight up, and his wrist broken, as well as his fingers. Since Takeo’s attempt at stopping Haru’s grab would have failed, and the direction of his hand movements would not change, Haru’s left hand would succeed in grabbing Takeo’s fingers, making another audible crack as that hand too was left unusable in the same way, his fingers broken and the wrist snapped with a quick twist by Haru’s left hand.
 
Haru would then begin to lift his right elbow, at the same time drawing the Takeo’s right hand hand to his left side, being careful never to let either of the man’s blades point at him, as he pulled Takeo around, turning him so that his right arm would be wrapped firmly around the man’s neck, his left arm supporting it, and both of Takeo’s arms still firmly held in a sort of pretzel hug position. If the man attempted to struggle, a quick twist of the neck would end his life. Both Haru and Takeo would now be facing the masked figure, who had drawn a sword, but seemed to be hanging back for whatever reason.
”Drop the sword, or he dies. And stay away from the kids.” He would assert in a calm, authoritative tone of voice. ”No sudden movements.” He would add. If the masked man complied, he would begin to question them, although he already figured they were there for the same reason He and Youta were. ”Now, who are you two, and why are you here? He would question. What kind of mission exactly had Takeo sent him on? Had he known this sort of thing would happen?

I cleaned up the thread, please continue as if nothing occurred.

[This song is brought to you at the request of Xyxer, oh yeah btw only the introduction to it applies.]

It seemed this rather annoying kid was magic. Pulling off impossible moves in the blink of an eye. Oh well it didn't matter what he did either way, trying to stop Takeo from continuing was quite futile after all. If he actually paid attention to who the person trying to grab his hand after clearly stating he was unable to do a palm thrust, which would be much easier to do than trying to grab a moving hand so close to the ribs of the man already, he would have burst out laughing at the Hyuuga. Using a huge amount of willpower not to just stop dead and die from laughing his ass off he instead thought of something. It was quite obvious what he was thinking to those who possessed some form of intelligence. Though from how this person in front of him had had to do a hand seal to move Takeo doubted that the two burglars matched him in pure skill and intellect. After all, it was a rather foolish move to break into the house of a shinobi of Tengakure.

Takeo did wonder though how this person was pulling off such a strange move, changing his movement mid-way through it and then bending his arm back to go to grab his own. It was a wonder how the boy's arm had not snapped from the movement. The boy would not actually a chance to grab him though. Obviously, Takeo was not so foolish to be caught by some unskilled bear like man so easily. He did have to admit though, from the looks of things this person appeared to be ever so slightly faster than him. The speed difference however would not actually make up for the distance that his blades were from the boy's ribs at the time in which he changed his movement. Taking time to stop and move his arm back, unless he did plan on twisting and breaking his own arm in an attempt to stop him, then his blades would surely hit the ribs before the boy even had a chance to try and grab him. After all, he would have hit before the right hand would have been grabbed, which was actually closer to the boy. In hindsight perhaps he should have used that one to strike, but oh well. What ever the case, the boy's ribs would be punctured by the blades, the lightning coursing through his body and rendering him stunned completely.

However, a contingency plan was in the works. If the boy managed to actually pull of that godlike and insane move against him, he would simply Body Flicker. Yes that single thought earlier was for a hand seal. It took him no time at all to think of it, finishing the thought about the time that the boy's hand would just be about to grab onto his own or whatever the foolish fool was trying to do. His body disappeared from in front of Haru, appearing in front of the dumb girl who thought it fit to jump backwards. If the girl had been on the floor at the time then maybe she would have somehow been able to dodge, perhaps by using another strange nonhuman movement like the one Haru had tried to perform moments before. It was a shame then, that she had chosen to try and jump backwards. Her feet would have just left the floor by the time Takeo appeared in front of her.

He wondered if it was quite a frightening experience for her. He felt no remorse for his actions though, mostly because they had broken into his house after all. With his right middle finger he tapped his armoured palm, obviously in a way so that his blades didn't pierce himself. He was after all not an idiot, unlike the people who had intruded on him. That action was performed in no more than a second, to be exact about half a second. The electrodes and seals that were inside of his armour would activate, forcibly increasing his speed and strength at the cost of some pain he would have to endure at a later time. With no actual time for either that foolish bear man behind him to try and intercept him once more or for the girl to land Takeo held no doubt in his mind how this would end.

Both of his hands were actually held out in front of him, one due to his attack on the boy and the other because you move your arms while running obviously. It was actually quite lucky for the girl that she had not been skewered the moment Takeo had Body Flickered to her. Instead he would need to continue on his way, not having lost any momentum from his run at the beginning. Continuing on his charge his arms swung across horizontally. What would have rendered the girl with a lack of arms and eyes before had now changed. Her jump had left her legs exposed, though her arms were still in the same position as before at this point. Thankfully this saved the girl from being blinded. Instead it rendered her with a lack of arms and legs. The blades of his left hand swept across her exposed legs, the blades cutting deep into the knees of the girl. By deep I mean cut through, completely. While her lower legs would be in the process of getting removed, the right blades would be doing the exact same to the arms, cutting them off at the elbows.

All of this would have been done in about a second, leaving no actual time for anyone in the room to realistically stop him from doing such a thing. Though then again it seemed the people here were capable of performing superhuman feats, so who knew. Oh and if the blades do hit the body anyway, this still happens. At which point Takeo would spin, his form skidding as he turned around to face the two remaining intruders. His armoured form would now be dyed red. Or at least the upper part would, as he had skid through the shower of blood that came spewing out from the limbs of the girl, who by now would have hit the floor.

It should also probably be noted that at the point in which he Body Flickered, Takeo would have been generating lightning chakra. By the end of the actions stated above, lightning chakra would be visibly held within his left hand. One could liken the display to that other either Chidori or Raikiri, though it was in fact neither of these. The lightning chakra would come into play soon. Either to deal with the remaining intruder or the remaining intruders, depending on how the following had all played out. In the back of Takeo's mind he couldn't help but admire how well his armour was doing up until now. He would rate it at about 8 out of 10. Though if Haru was not stunned, because God decided to allow such a move, then he would rate it only a mere 6 out of 10. Then again that rating would likely be raised.

Having spun around to face the boy; who by now would have been either collapsing to the floor due to lightning chakra coursing through him or would still probably to trying to grab a person who was no longer there. He quickly mulled over his options. He could either wait for his lightning chakra to continue to charge, or he could of course finish the fight in the next moment. The choice he made would all depend on how the last few seconds had played out. What was quite surprising was that Takeo had yet to actually recognize the figure as Haru. Perhaps his perception of who he was was thrown off by his primal instincts to protect his family taking over. Or maybe it was even because of the fact that one of his eyes had only recently recovered after being implanted into him. It was quite lucky he had removed the bandages before even arriving, or this would have possibly gone in a different direction. Still, Takeo was confident that even with one eye he would be able to deal with the two remaining foes. Or one remaining foe. A quick glance towards the newest arrival and Takeo instantly recognized it. Quite weird isn't it? How Takeo would recognize the armour that was The Abysswalker yet did not recognize Haru.

If it were in any other situation he would spend an hour or two having flashbacks and perhaps even have a dramatic meeting. Now however was not the time. Realizing that Xyxer probably had no idea who he was, or what was going on, he thought that perhaps he should explain what was happening. Yes, that is what he would do. After this of course. Now then, if Haru was stunned Takeo would do the following. A quick dash forward, managing to accelerate to his top speed in only a couple of steps. A flick of the wrist as he arrived to Haru's still following body and it would be over. The blades that extended out from his right hand would be aimed to slice through the boy's neck. Maybe he shouldn't have wasted effort actually precisely aiming for the neck. After all, a general swing would either kill the boy or cripple him depending on where it hit. But no. He aimed for the neck for the reason that they invaded his home, then tried to attack him when he defended his family. Of course if nothing were to prevent the blades from striking their mark then they would slice cleanly through the neck, the head of the boy being detached from his shoulders.

Now that would only happen if he were stunned. If not, then well Takeo would just stand there and wait for his lightning to become sufficient enough in power. At which point there would be no doubt as to who the victor of this battle would be. Then would be the problem of cleaning up the mess, which would be quite a pain from the looks of things.

[So yeah, mod can decide if Haru gets hit or not.

And I'll also just stick the stats here as a reminder (mostly for myself)

Body Flicker Speed: 290
Speed of swing: 180
Blades current sharpness: 235
Current speed: 180
Current strength: 90]

The boy had allowed enough time for the minorities to settle their squabble, yet it seemed to persist. Perhaps one lacked the efficiency to take out the two, or perhaps the two were merely being played with like a big cat chasing a gazelle. Ah, the glories of the hunt. Taking a step back, his body once more blocked the door way with his own form and he inhaled deeply, blowing a thick fog from his armour and into the corridor/room where ever the fuck they were. Of course, this would take a little while, a post to be exact, to completely cover the room, but as a lad was in the middle of attempting to snap an armour clad figures arm, he did not fret much for his own safety; he was the Abysswalker after all. Perhaps however, a faint remorse did wash over the child's cold face when he thought of the agony that the innocents in the home would go through.

Haru would have responded to the armored man, but a ninja was always supposed to mind their surroundings, so as the fight happened, he noticed they were rather close to the woman’s bathhouse, the same one Haru had had that… incident… with Haruna. And it was rather full, to say the least. Haru began to understand just why Takeo had been so distracted in their first spar. He obviously had a fetish for birds. A distraction of that sort must have been the only thing that could make a ninja want to ignore the fight currently going on. And unfortunately, because of this distraction, it was only too late that Haru realized not only could he see through walls, he could see through the man in front of him’s armor. He would only just have time to say
”Takeo, you dumbass!” before the stab landed, spearing him through the stomach. He would have struck back, as his body rejected the pain from the stab at first, but the blades sent some sort of electrical current through him, leaving him unable to react

Through some God favor, her attacker managed an insane feat, most likely involving immeasurable amount of space warping and manipulation. In a blink he squeezed in between herself and Haru, a space hardly enough to house a person, leaving their back completely exposed to the Hyuuga all of it just to attack the defenseless girl as she was starting her movement. Or maybe it did not happen at all, seeing as it apparently depended on Haru not avoiding the blades of lightning.

Nevertheless, the clones were not obviously out of question... hopefully she would land in one piece.

It took approximately three seconds for Takeo to register what had just happened. His assailant had said something to him. Tragically, by the time he had understood what was going on he had just turned to face the now falling Haru. His eyes widened as he quickly worked out what was going on. Haru had obviously been here to try and collect the body of Yozora. That seemed the most likely thing. Though the question was who was the person he had just turned into a Xyxer V2? Barely paying attention to the dull patter of blood hitting against his armoured body, as well as the five dull thuds that accompanied the pieces of the girl hitting the ground, he just stood there frozen for a moment. For the second time in a minute he pressed his finger against his left palm. His hands felt numb as the armour retracted itself from his body, compressing itself back down to it's standard form of just a glove. Thankfully he was saved from a shower of blood, as by the time he had pressed the seal that activated and de-activated his armour the girl's body had hit the floor.

His eyes moved between the three, or seven if you count the for extra body parts, people that were in the hallway. The lightning he had been generating remained however, as he noticed a mist was begin to work it's way through the hallway, probably Xyxer's. It seemed that his family would actually not be affected by said mist, as they had during the duration of the slaughter moved over to the opposite side of the house before making a run for it. Coming to his senses by the time the mist had passed over the downed form of Haru he spoke out loud. "Perhaps we should go to the hospital." He wasn't quite sure who he was actually talking to, but since Haru was stunned as well as the girl it was most likely Xyxer. Now came the annoying bit of having to deal with the mess.

Takeo decided that the sooner they got there the better. So for that reason he consumed the lightning in his hand. Quite a strange sight honestly, but from how today had been going it probably would be overlooked. In the next instance the lightning took it's course and he felt a burst of power flow through his body. With this new-found power he would quickly grab the girl by the back of her hair and Haru by the back of his collar. Heaving them upwards onto each shoulder he dashed out of the house, running through the mist at such speed that it gave no true time for the effects to take it's course. Of course this was dependant on if Xyxer would try to stop him or not, it would be quite annoying if he did. Another annoying thing was having to deal once more with having his clothes stained by blood.

Oh yes and he also expected Xyxer to pick up the limbs of the girl. It would be quite troublesome if he would have to run back and get them. Not that it would matter really, it would seem like the only one of the two over his shoulders that would live as Haru. That is of course because he decided it would be best to plug up his injuries with his fingers. Quite disgusting for Takeo, and possibly quite painful for Haru. But he did deserve it, after all he did break into his house. The one without limbs however, from the lack of breathing, response etc. seemed to not be in the land of the living any more. Quite saddening really.
