OOC: Decided to just stick with the 5 elemental seal

This boy moved quick! He quickly unclenched Kira’s jacket and grabbed her wrist that was going to mark him with the self marking seal. Her other hand though, remained in suit with her initial plan as it grabbed onto the boys arm, marking him with the five elemental. In that exact moment, the punch came in fast, and I mean FAST. The air was knocked straight out of her. She was literally speechless, most because she had no air for something to be said. Jordan Sparks said it best, how is one supposed to breathe, (let alone talk) with no air. Preach Jordan, preach. Crouched near the floor, Kira reached into her ninja kit, pulling out a tag resembling an explosive tag. The Uzumaki subtly place the tag underneath the sand behind her in order to prevent Salzem from getting a full glimpse as to exactly what she was doing. She didn’t know if the fight would go on long enough for her plan to be seen through, but might as well try right?

The Uzumaki was trying to plan a step ahead, but it was clear the Salzem was obviously much stronger than she was. What was it with her always picking fights with people more skilled than her? She obviously needed to tone down her ego. That, or these killed people had to stop picking on her! though, at the end of the day, it was good practice for her to get. A smirk was smudged on the Uzumaki’s face towards how shock Sal was on the prowess of the five elemental seal. She knew it was quite a strong technique (the amount of chakra it took proved that), but seeing the look on his face made it seem even better. It sadly only fed her ego rather than diminish it, though it was disappointing she wasn’t able to get the other seal on him, but that only meant that she had another ace of her sleeve. If he was impressed by the five elemental seal, surely he’d be impressed from the Self-Marking Seal. “Don’t worry Sally-Shikidotensei, it’s only temporary. If you promise to be good, maybe i’ll remove it.” Kira said flirtatiously shortly after she had regained some air into her lungs. That was a lie. Not because she didn’t want to, but she lacked the skill to remove such a high ranked seal. She should probably solve that issue soon. During this conversation, Kira’s hand remain behind her back, fumbling inside her ninja pouch as she planned her next strategy. At the end of the day, Kira wasn’t much of a K.O type of gal but more of a ‘I’m gonna lock you in a cage’ type. She didn’t necessarily like harming people, but more like restraining them, and that’s what she was going to try to do to Sal. Though, so fare, the devil’s advocate had already showed incredible speed, so she would definitely have to keep her guard up.

At this point, just about everything Kira said was gibberish. He didn't understand, nor did he wish to translate. He had to prevent something like that from happening again. He noticed one of her hands sneaking up behind her back, likely to fiddle around with the weapon pouch. It was a subtle enough movement, but the real question was: What did she take from her pack. Whatever it was... Salzem did not see. Kira then placed her hand under the sand as if planting something. He didn't know what, and why, but he wasn't going to let her use it.

Dashing at her with a speed of 60, Salzem would close the short distance between them of 4 meters in a matter of moments, throwing 4 short, quick jabs with his right hand aimed at her chest, face, and stomach, keeping his left free in case she decided to fling more seals (Jab Strength 17, Speed 65). This would also keep her upper body distracted, leaving her torso open for assault. Following up on that, He would swing his knee forward, aimed at the same place where he had struck her before, her stomach. The point of his knee would hit like a spear, almost piercing (strength 18. Speed 60.) Likely the force of the blow itself would cause Kira to slump forward, shocked by the impact. Salzem would follow up by removing his knee from her gut while simultaneously stepping back, then, as she would begin to fall, Salzem would Raise his knee again and slam it into her lower chin, letting gravity about 30% of the work. With that, she should be on her back ending the fight, at least for him. However, if Kira attempted to place any more of those... whatever they were under the earth (She wasn't exactly subtle about the placement of it), Salzem would keep pushing her so she wouldn't have her opening.

Oh jeez, Sal was growing to become a bit dull. He wasn’t even reacting to her comments anymore. She never thought she would say it, but she sort of missed Kasuga, and how he played along to her games. Hell, even Gwyn played along, but she was a little bit more low-key about it. Maybe the devil’s advocate was offended by her placing that seal upon his body. Though, it didn’t seem like it’d be work much since he didn’t even bother to use any jutsu whatsoever on her. Was he even a ninja? who knows, but she would count on it.

Looks like Sal was finally making his offensive attack, as he dashed at her at an appropriate speed that she could read. The distance she originally leaped back was ten meters, more than enough time to what Kira had planned next. Kira raised her body just slightly so her knees weren’t completely bent down, in order to make her legs act like a spring for when the time was right, looking as if she was ready to go head to head with the stronger boy; but also a look of subtle doubt spread across her face. Milliseconds as he came into the perfect range, Kira performed the sign of confrontation, using her hand that was still in her ninja pouch on her lower back, making it invisible to the charging man. With the formation of the hand gesture, a seal instantaneously marked the floor around the two ninja, spreading across the two in a circular area. Combined with the five elemental seal Kira had placed on the boy earlier, it would surely have to prevent the boy from leaving its confines, needing a chakra level of 85.

Kira wasn’t dumb, and was able to do a few actions at once rather than do them one by one. Because of this, when she had formed the hand seal, and just when she knew that Sal was in it, Kira would leap backwards, using her already slightly bent legs like springs at a speed of 60 to try and prevent Sal closing the current meter between them. If time permitted, The Uzumaki was not taking any chances. Kira took the split second after to erect a barrier in front of her just in case an incoming attack came from the boy in a last minute pursuit to stop her, having a health and power of 50. If successful, Kira would be three meters away from the reach of the seals. Although she was quite certain he was trapped, she would remain alert to whatever else this boy had up his sleeve. He had yet to perform any jutsu do who knew what he could have up his magic hat.

She was almost within arms reach... He almost had her... Salzem raised his fist, ready to deliver his volley of jabs, when he slammed into something... Some unseen wall was erected between him and her... Salzem stumbled back from the barrier, holding his face where he had slammed it. He soon hit another wall behind him, realizing that he had been trapped. He felt around the wall, trying to determane if there were any noticeable cracks in the barrier he could exploit. Finding none, he decided he would just force his way out! Salzem slammed his fist into the barrier with all 80 strength, expecting it to shatter like glass being smashed with a rock. Suffice it to say... it didn't. In fact, he the recoil force of his punch against this solid wall was so great that the force had deadened his arm for a second. Feeling came back to his arm a minute later, and it wasn't a good feeling, in fact, it was excruciating, as if his arm was broken. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but due to the seal she put on him earlier, he couldn't weave his medi-magic and heal himself up. He just couldn't draw into his chakra reserves. Holding his damaged arm, Salzem would walk up to the end of the barrier Kira was and glare at her for a moment.

"Is this how you make friends kira? Locking them up until they submit? This is... creative..."

Damnit! This was it. It seemed like he was strong enough to break free from her seals. She was going to be dragged her her cold blooded corpse leg, taken to the depths of the flaming hell to be roasted like a thanksgiving pig. The sight of the boy reaching out to her in slow motion seemed so, so epic, until the boy went face first into her barrier, leaving Kira free from being in the man’s hold. The Uzumaki held back any sign of laugher as the boy searched around before punching the wall, seeming to even go as far as hurt himself in the process. He seemed like a trapped puppy out in the cage for the first time for misbehaviour. Kira took a big sigh of relief before matching the boy’s gaze. His response to the current outcome of the battle had been the last straw. The Suna Genin couldn’t help but giggle to the boy’s response.

“I have no choice.” Kira shrugged, her voice filled with glee before taking a darker, flirtatious tone. “Naughty boys need to be locked up so they can learn to behave.” The Uzumaki stared at the boy, eyes to eyes, with the best poker fact she could muster. Though, there was something about Sal that took Kira off guard. For the first time in a long time, she absolutely broke character and started laughing uncontrollably. Usually, her victims were somewhat innocent in nature, but Salzem was just the complete opposite. If anything, he would be the dominator in this situation! “So, wanna call it a match?” Kira asked, wondering if the boy had enough. It was clear that he was possibly holding back, since he only used hand to hand combat against her. The gauntlets that he used was enough to tell that he was indeed some sort of ninja, or had some ninja training. Though even with the fact that the two men she had fought held back, she took pride in not conceding against them. If the boy had agreed to call the match over, she would dispel the jutsu she erected. As for the five elemental seal she placed earlier, well he might have to go see someone about that.

Salzem glared darkly at Kira's retort involving naughty boys and locking them up. Salzem cringed slightly as his mind went to all sorts of places. Half of the things he imagined he didn't even think she COULD do, but, then again, she did like to talk big. Deciding he'd try something new in the form of banter, Salzem mirrored Kira's dark, seductive tone as best he could before responding.

"And Little Girls..." Salzem retorted. "...shouldn't play hard-to-get, separated by these walls, m'lady..." For added emphasis, Salzem slammed his good hand against the barrier as if he was trying to bang down a door but not hard enough to jar it like his other arm. He would that hang for a moment, listening as Kira's pokerface collapsed and she burst out laughing. Salzem wasn't innocent, no, not at all, but he wasn't especially dirty-minded either. He couldn't really think creatively when the situation calls for it. Despite this, he couldn't help but have a small smile creep into the corners of his mouth. For once, life didn't seem so serious. The goal of finding his best friend's murderer seemed to drift farther into his mind. It didn't seem as important now. When she asked if he wanted to call it a match, Salzem placed his good hand on the barrier wall and pushed for all it was worth, hoping that it would collapse, but no. It stayed as solid as when he was first trapped. Deciding he was truly imprisoned, Salzem nodded.

"Yeah... you got me..." Salzem paused before adding "But really, would you kindly something to treat my arm? Salzem glanced down at his hurt appendage. "Because I can't heal it with this jutsu you cast on me."

Kira couldn’t stop laughing when the boy tried matching her seductive tone. He didn’t seem the type and hearing those words come out of his mouth sent the the Uzumaki in a spiral of laughter. She could hardly breathe and clenched at her stomach with tears rolling down her face. This was unexpected! The demon’s advocate would murder her with the means of laughter! who would have thought! she could see herself now strapped to a wall being tickled by a feather by an impling for the rest of eternity. It took a few moments for her laughter to die out, but the though of the moment could easily send her into another streak of tears of joy.

The boy gave one last solid pounding onto the barrier’s wall before finally calling it quits. It was now official that Kira has won the short spar between them, and without the use of her special chains. She had come a long way sine arriving at Sunagakure, and especially since her encounter with Kasuga, who still in fact owed her drinks. The Suna Genin dispelled the barrier, causing the mark that decorated the sand under Sal’s feet to disappear granting him full access to move around as he pleased. Kira laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head as she didn’t know what exactly to tell the boy. Sure, she knew this super awesome powerful seal that had the potential to knock someone out and seal their chakra, but she didn’t exactly know how to undo the technique per say. It was something she was still sorta working on.

“Here let me take a look!” The Uzumaki approached the pale skinned boy and focused her chakra unto her fingertips, trying to remember the training she had done thus far in learning the five elemental unseal. A kanji marked each one of her fingertips, each one symbolizing one of the main elements in the ninja world. Earth, Wind, Lightning, Fire, and Water. the kanji on her fingertips seem to bore a blue flame around them. With great concentration, Kira place her fingertips on Sal’s arm, close to where she had originally placed the seal. A bead of sweat rolled down her face before she looked up at Sal for confirmation on whether or not it had worked.

OOC: I'll let you decide on whether or not it worked since I technically don't have the jutsu yet xD

(OOC, will have it work)

Kira had undone the seal which trapped him, and had come to do the same with her chakra seal. This is good because he was afraid she'd die choking on her laughter before she could fix this. Salzem offered Kira his undamaged arm, as that was the one she had used as the placement of her seal. Her fingers seemed to glow with a blue flame as she approached, making Salzem wonder. The chakra Anesthetic? How was that going to help at all? To his surprise, it wasn't the jutsu it appeared to be. As she placed her glowing fingers upon his flesh, he felt the walls surrounding the majority of his chakra go down. It was almost like water flooding in after a dam had been deconstructed and it felt great! Salzem began to weave a few signs and felt that familiar buzz of his chakra flowing through him. his hands glowed with a faint blue light, but it soon began to grow brighter with the glow of Medical Ninjutsu. Salzem placed his glowing hand upon his damaged arm and felt instant relief. The pain and swelling began to subside as the directed chakra did it's handiwork. (Pun) He would then smile lightly at Kira for releasing his restraint.

"Thank you." Was about all Salzem could say without looking like an idiot. He would sit there for a moment, quietly healing his arm until it didn't hurt moving. Once that was adequately completed, he'd break his concentration, ending the buzz and discharging the technique. He stretched his arm, making sure there weren't any places he'd missed, then he'd turn his attention back to Kira.

"You've been very kind." he said. "And you are very strong. I see that you were correct." He smiled as the image of Kira's pose faded into view.

Thu Oct 15, 2015 6:23 pm

In Kira’s mine, she was throwing fist of celebration to how the jutsu finally worked for the first time ever! She had been trying to get it right for weeks now and it seemed to finally work! Her inner self was throwing an absolute party while her outer self just gave the boy a big ol thumbs up before distancing herself a bit from him for some you know, personal space. The Uzumaki stood in awe as she watched the boy heal his injured arm. She figured that from his previous remark that he knew some sort of medical ninjutsu but this sort of confirmed it. Her eyes glistened as she was him heal his arm. Realizing how foolish she looked, she proceeded to her nonchalant ways before Salzem would notice.

“I told ya!” Kira struck her previous pose in all of its glory. Once again, Kira-Chan had saved the day! But not really. “So, are you gonna let me help you catch this bad guy or what!” Kira asked, crossing her arms over her chest, pouting a little bit s she waited for the infamous N-O that she was oh so used to hearing. Being honest, she’d probably be more of a nuisance than helpful so it’d be best if Salzem said no.

The heterochromatic eyes girl focused her attention to the man’s once previously injured arm and wondered about asking the boy. She didn’t know much about medical ninjutsu but she knew that her family’s bloodline granted extra effects to to the used of the healing arts. “Hey Sally-Kun,” Kira started nice and slow, somewhat hesitant to ask. “could you possibly teach me that thing you did?” Her eyes resembled that of a puppy, as she waited for his response. She was actually quite intrigued by the medical arts and figured she could benefit greatly by delving into it.

Thu Oct 15, 2015 7:02 pm

Salzem looked up from his arm and caught Kira's wonder-filled gaze locked onto his medical technique. She seemed to be entranced from the look of the technique to the simple mechanics. Perhaps he would have said something, but then he noticed Kira reverting back to her nonchalant position. He didn't even bother to hide his grin as he finished up. Salzem stood up, testing out his fixed arm when Kira spoke very enthusiastically that she wanted to help him catch the murderer. Ah, how cruel life is, not letting him forget for a single day. Though this was a sensitive topic for him, Salzem didn't immediately get defensive and snappy when she brought it up. In fact, her enthusiasm was refreshing.

"Tell you what," Salzem responded. "I'll be leaving here in a few weeks whether or not I find him here. If you still want to find him, meet me by the gates some time around then and we will go traveling. If not..." Salzem shrugged. Salzem waited for a response, but also noticed Kira's Blue and Green eyes were locked onto his once damaged arm. He cocked his head, not sure whether or not she was staring AT him or BEHIND him. Thankfully, and sparing Salzem from asking, Kira elaborated. She explained that she, no matter how hesitantly, that she desired to learn basic medical ninjutsu. Salzem walked over to Kira, as she put distance between them, so she can have a close look.

"Watch closely." Salzem said as he bit into his thumb, drawing blood. He then weaved three signs, the Dog, Boar and Rat, slow enough for her to observe closely, but not slow enough to discharged the jutsu. His hands would then begin to glow as he completed the signs, the blue light appearing to burn away the wound. He would the look at Kira, stopping his chakra flow, causing the blue glow to subside.

"It's very simple." Salzem said. "It's all about focusing your chakra into either yourself or another, causing the cells to work overtime to regenerate much quicker."
