Re: A Less Hazy Meeting [P, NK, Anri]

Thu Apr 28, 2016 4:18 am

Bestowing a quick glance upon Anri to show that Risako was paying attention, she continued to slurp on her noodles. Even though this wasn't her favorite food, it was one she would probably never grow tired of.

Pudding was kinda.... Meh. Not necessarily her favorite. She wouldn't judge however, at least not this time. "I like popsicles because they're light on your stomach. As for why I like green in particular..." She paused for a moment, having never thought about this before. Giving a quick shrug, she continued, "I guess I kinda just like it more than the rest." By green, she meant green apple. Of course, some despicable establishments held their green colored popsicles with flavors such as Watermelon, or Lime. While not bad, they didn't hold a candle to Green Apple's brilliance.

The girl had already guessed that her acquaintance was an Uchiha. But a genin? Ehhh. It wasn't too believable, kind of a shock really. Maybe she was demoted from a higher rank because of her... How would one put it politely... Issues with privacy? Her eyebrow cocked in suspicion, but Risako wouldn't pry, both for a lack of interest and a respect of one's personal business.

"Well, I'm Risako Akara, chuunin," she would respond after finishing off the last of the noodles in that bowl. Just in time too, as he had brought out her second bowl. She hadn't the chance to give Anri her full name quite yet.

She let out an inner sigh of relief when Risako didn't question her little lie. The black-haired Uchiha kept eating her own food while paying attention to Risako's explanation. It was a disappointment to her that she couldn't exactly make popsicles... or ramen. "Mmm.. I personally like blue popsicles. Sometimes they make the flavor sour and sweet at the same time." The female was slowly beginning to finish off the rest of her noodles.

With such high level fuuinjutsu training it came to a surprise when Risako stated her surname. She was pretty confident the female was part of a clan, but alas that wasn't the case. She was very honest too when she said it. Perhaps the Akara were just a clan that she never heard of? Her bowl was empty at this point, and upon this the Uchiha stood up and placed down her money, stretching nonchalantly.

"Well.. I'm about to go to the training grounds.. are you headed anyw---oh wait. Are there any other foods you like?" The female asked, sitting back down since she wasn't going to leave just yet.

As usual, she never actually ate the second bowl. Usually by the time it got to her, she was satisfied with the first bowl. Pushing it back to the stall owner, he nodded and took the bowl back behind the counter, and seeing as only two customers were present, he went ahead and claimed the bowl for himself. Turning to Anri, Risako said, "Yeah blue is alright." For another moment, they were silent, as her new acquaintance began to finish off her food. As soon as she had said, "I'm about to go to the training grounds," the young fox sage would cut her off, saying, "Yea me too."

"Let's get going then, if you're ready." If Anri appeared ready to go, she would stand up and kick her stool back into place, dropping a few ryo on the counter for the ramen man.

Thu May 05, 2016 5:55 pm

The Uchiha stretched nonchalantly, her arms arching as she rubbed the back of her head with her hands nonchalantly. Anri would nod subtly as Risako stood up and suggested that they would leave. The black-haired, red-eye'd teenager would rest a bundle of ryo on the counter and press her soles firmly to the earth after turning around. "Right." She would remark. Anri bounded off of the earth, ascending then descending down on the roof of a nearby building. The energetic Uchiha looked over her shoulder, presenting a pleasant and solemn grin, beckoning for the female to follow.

The female briskly leaped away from the rooftop onto another, proceeding to hop from building to building at a mellow pace, heading to the outer parts of the less district-oriented part of Konohagakure no Sato to reach the training fields.

Wed May 18, 2016 3:14 pm

Risako would follow along her acquaintance, who happened to be running along the roofs for some reason. Though, she wasn't one to judge, so she wouldn't. Having made her way to the training grounds, she would begin to march around, looking for a bit of land that was less populated. While she searched, assuming that the Uchiha had followed along with her, she would try to spark up a conversation. "So what do you want to do?"

Thu May 19, 2016 4:03 pm

Anri would shrug nonchalantly at Risako's inquiry while she followed along behind the female, with her hands tucked away. She slipped a single hand of hers from her pocket, coiling her index finger around a bundle of black, silky locks dangling past her jaw. Assuming they had reached a less populated area of the training ground by now, the Uchiha would hop back, forming half of the Ram handseal with the hand she was originally using to mess around with her hair.

"Will this place suffice? I was thinking of doing some ninjutsu training, so perhaps we could tie that into a simple spar?" She offered, her voice as solemn and quaint as usual. A smile was present on her facial features, with a lazy and narrow onyx gaze locked onto Risako's gray.

Thu May 26, 2016 6:53 am

Seeing as they had found a mostly vacant area, she was content. Placing her fists on her hips, she would look to Anri and state, "Yeah this'll work." For a moment she gave it some thought, she could either continue practicing her Nature skills, or she could spar. At the time, Risako certainly wasn't talented enough to do both at once. "Hmm. I suppose we can spar." For now she would put off her training until later, it was something that required her full attention anyway.

Keeping her attention on Anri, she would begin to walk backwards until there was a distance of five meters between the two. Her preference was to react, so she would wait for Anri to make the first move in this little spar as her arms dropped from her hips to her sides.

The Uchiha exhaled soflty, fingers still forming the Ram handseal. Anri extended her arm out and proceeded to lift the flap belonging to her backpouch. From there she removed a kunai within it and grasped onto it tightly in her left hand. She started off with only a slight jog, advancing towards the female. With a waving of her arm she whipped her kunai towards Risako, intending to have to serve as a facade.

Suddenly chakra embraced her form and she thrusted forth, right past Risako. With her increased speed she zoomed up the tree trunk and into the tree itself, reappearing from her acceleration in a crouched position at the top of the tree. Her onyx eyes suddenly flashed a glowy red. "Sharingan!" She removed two more kunai, flinging the two of them towards the female with impressive precision.

Before the kunai she initially tossed prior to her speed-increase could reach Risako, the two others were flying at her. She had left a trace of her chakra on both kunai to check Risako's ability, and see if she possessed the capability of sensing. In the event that Risako dodged all three, they would ricochet off one another, sending two of them flying in opposing directions to catch her dashing either right or left. The third kunai flew upward.

Anri herself bounced off of the tree and somersaulted rapidly in the air, before falling to a halt. For the time being she was still in the air. She yanked the kunai flying upright from the air, flinging it at Risako's next position while trying to follow her with Sharingan. As the Uchiha started to descend she slightly closed her right palm, while she hovered her left hand over it. A sphere of stationary chakra formed in the base of her palm as she started to pat at the air surrounding it with her left hand, making it start to spin quicker and quicker.

She landed on the ground, and waited for an opportunity to put this technique to good use. Her rash barrage of attacks wasn't over yet, because the moment Risako allowed a noticeable opening in her presumed defenses to form, the Uchiha would accelerate towards her in an attempt to thrust the orb into her, holding back on the attack, along with all of her former. She formed a series of handseals prior to the formation of the Rasengan but had done nothing with them, yet.

With a sharp inhale, the chuunin would brace for whatever was coming her way. Lifting her arms into a bit of a defensive stance, her fingers would wiggle for just a moment before Anri tossed the kunai. It was then that she could feel her opponent’s chakra begin to build up, preparing for a more substantial attack than the kunai, her arm would jut forth with her palm open and her fingers spread. Focusing her chakra into her hand, a simple but clear barrier would form roughly two inches from the base of her palm, but when Anri instead body flickered Risako was caught slightly off guard, focusing on where her opponent had gone. For a second, our lovable ANBU-genin was moving faster than our even more lovable heroine could track. But that’s not what mattered right? It was then that she noticed the two chakra signatures heading her way.

Quickly she took one step back towards the direction of Anri, putting her out of the path of the original kunai, the barrier fuinjutsu still extending from her hand. Pulling her arm back, she turned to place the shield so as to reflect the two kunai that Anri had thrown. This would prevent them from striking the first one, as it would just harmlessly fly behind Risako’s back where it would eventually hit something. (Or maybe not, who knows? Newton’s Laws of Physics might not exist.) Bouncing off of the shield, the kunai would twirl harmlessly as they made their descent to the dirt.

Now that she was facing her opponent, she could more easily keep track of her movements. If Anri continued with her plan to jump, despite the kunai not traveling the direction she had planned, Risako would decide that was as good a time as any to prepare. Lowering the shield and placing her hands together, she would quickly weave the dog, horse, and tiger hand seals while focusing her chakra and moving within a five meter radius of where her opponent would land. Once the Tiger hand seal had finished forming, ten flaming orbs would spark into life shaped like floating heads. Nine of these orbs would begin circling Risako, while the tenth would merely sit where Anri was going to land. Now, the demon head would be easy to dodge, as all she would have to do is move her feet apart, seeing as it was lower to the ground.

If Anri hadn’t jumped off of the tree due to Risako cock blocking the kunai from touching each other, she would react according to whatever Anri would do.

We can count AP and all that stuff if you'd like. Since you didn't really use them in your first post and our characters are fairly similar in stats, we can ignore them if you'd like.]

The Uchiha could tell she briefly managed to surprise Risako briefly. She was disappointed but also given a little more of an overview on how Risako fought. The other kunai of hers would ricochet from the barrier of sealing arts that her opponent had made. It was slightly clear to her that the female was experienced in the sealing arts, not only that but she also had extensive knowledge on Ninjutsu. With that being said, Anri could not afford to mess up on anything, because with a flaw could come a drastic reduction in her chakra reserves if Risako was willing to seal them off from access. Even with the kunai being redirected from where she initially wanted it to be headed to, Anri hopped off of the treetop.

With a fancy somersault she found herself beginning to descend from midair. With a single hand she formed the Clone handseal and from a plume of smoke emerged a shadow clone. As she continued descending her clone would shift in positioning, in front of her. She pressed the soles of her feet to her shadow clone, bouncing off of it while sending it shooting down toward the lantern of orange flames. With that small boost, the female held her right arm out to the side while looking down, her intense gaze settling upon the swirling lanterns that remained. Her primary goal was to make the shadow clone detonate the lantern that was located where the Uchiha would land on the ground.

Had the detonation occured, she'd take advantage of the residual effects of the explosion, the dust and the debris. A bundle of chakra swirled into being, first just being an idling sphere of sky blue that gradually began to spin and rotate rapidly when she applied her control to it. She nosedived down toward the earth, rasengan-wielding hand outstretched with the rest of her hand. Her goal? Simply to clear the debris and catch Risako by surprise before the fire projectiles she made manage to attack her. Naturally, the technique was watered down, but only if it was hitting anything other than Risako. The levitating demon lanterns would get none of that treatment.

Uhhh AP costs sound good. 'Specially since our fights it wouldn't make our fights indefinite.
