to smoke out a rat.. (xuba, sanae, c ranked mis)

Huh. It seemed they weren't gonna take the bait. Instead, one of the two turned his back to them and began working on what both of them assumed, peeking through the brush as best as they could without revealing themselves, to be a trap. They weren't as brash as they had hoped, but they could work with this. The clone of Xuba would advance, while the clone of Sanae would hold position, still watching, peeking carefully through the tree cover she had. 

The clone of Xuba would begin to move, running fast and hurling a shuriken towards Sanae, threatening to strike her face if she did not react. At the same time, hidden in the shadow of the first shuriken, another flew, difficult to make out in the shadows left by the trees around them. This second shuriken threatened to strike the midsection of the man who had turned his back on them, just as he was beginning to set the trap. 

The clone of Sanae, likewise, would begin to approach, her position being useless since their strategy of lying in wait seemed to be abandoned. If not stopped, she would simply create a sword of bone and use it to cleave Sanae in half at the right shoulder.

(I'll do AP later, using shadow shuriken and bone sword, all actions occur at max speed)

Sanae was taking some deep breathes in while trying to sensor for the people she could feel around her activating something she only recently learned and had wanted to try for a long time now. Seven Heavens breathing could make her even stronger than she had already been for a while and especially make her faster. Breathe one and as she opened her eyes they had a yellow light radiating from them and an aura of the same colour engulfing her. Breath two would make her muscles more eminent to envision on her body. This was when she was kind of interrupted by a flying shuriken that was thrown into her direction. Which gave her a quick note of where the person, who had thrown it had been and still was while coming towards her. So instead of waiting for the shuriken to hit her she did something else.
With a Ram seal on her fingers she would make a dash out of the line of the shuriken aimed at her face and after that she would run towards the one throwing it at her instead of waiting there for her clone to attack so if her clone drew her sword for an attack the real Sanae had made a dash for the Xuba one which she did not know the shape of once again holding onto a kunai while then following at max speed after the short dash had evaded the thrown shuriken.

Distance truely is amazing. Like it really is. As all the while xuba  was just getting started with the trap being made. Noting that sanae was taking to deeply breathing as he was setting  a meter of steel wire on the wall. Her breathing however was interrupted. So out of curiousity xuba  turned around at full speed with grace while remaining low. As he would simply avoid the wire to prevent himself some damination by walking into his own wire. A trap somehow ruined.

Upon Turning around xuba's eyes scanned the area and perhaps noted a few bushes in the distance shuffeling about. Which this would catch xubas eye. As suddenly a shruiken would be launched. Alas  If the opponent hoped for an easy hit, lo the man was wrong on many levels. Soo many levels.

The grey eyes of xuba merely spotted an unusual speedy shadow darting around, however his geyes were on the shruiken. And the small shadow moving towards them within it. Suddenly the shadow seemingly dispatches as it was a shruiken hidden in the shadow of the first one. Hence it came veering straight towards him.   As  by instinct more than   pure motion he instinctively side stepped to his right at max speed a feet (alas no spin added to the thrown weapon so no curve...) now unfortuniatly xuba may have miscalculated and there was a mere pinch on theeft side of his chest. As the  shruiken hidden within the shadows of the first shruiken managed to pierce a part of his flak jacket and scrape through the shirt and hence pierce his skin  in a moderate but not too sever deepness. with one of the sharp ends of the shruiken.

 It never burried since xuba was amid motion and hence it drew a harsh cut along the edge of his left breast, and then continued on its way. The wound hurt, But was easily to work around and not lethal.  So with xubas motion still continuing the weapon merely wizzed into the darkness of the cave. 

Typical weak trash... so they copy yet do not understand.... well i will show them what it means to look and not know. Plus that was rather not pleasent with such a throw. Oh well its merely a flesh wound. They are dead simple as that.


 He Simotaniously thought as while doing the dodge. Xuba drew a breath. Inhaling through his nose as he weaved a single unique handsign (max speed.) Hence activated  the seven heavens breathing method.  As his muscles buldged so did his speed and strength. (Seven heavens breathing: +60 speed and strength)

For the moment he did not have to go on the offensive as the person of interest would  now be easily tracked by xuba shoukd they try to move any further. It was merely a shadow, but now he was prepared to simply strike down justice on them. 

His right hand flickered as with an idea to draw the eyes of his opponents a kunai appeared from up his right sleeve speed:100, and all due to the hidden arms technique. (Hidden arms:speed 100)


Hence since nothing of real interest would occur or should a second adversary make an appearance. Xuba did a slow jog forward at a speed of 11. Simply because he did not really need to act at the moment. By the looks of it sanae was on the move towards her target. Surely she could handle that with close to simple ease. 

  As besides the seemingly shadow of a shruiken was not fully avoided,  xuba did not recive any further threats that were deemed his concentration. Unless the sanae clone wished to appear next to xuba of course.

The chains remained loosly on his shoulders secured and easily able to be grabbed by a simple flick of his wrist. Ears sharp and such xuba ventured out the sewers. With a show of skillful dexterity safely twirling the kunai in his right hand. At impossible speeds. To a normal induvidual. Yet he could at close to any time catch the handle  and flick it towards an enemy. As no one was behind him. And slow and careful approaches. Keeps a man safe.

"So.... who should i strike down first?"

The two mimics seemed to sigh in unison when their opponents activated their respective booster techniques. Why did it always come to this? Why did the weak always rely on a technique to make themselves stronger? It seemed like nothing but a waste of energy to them, when it was very likely your opponent would simply activate their own to counter yours. This would, of course, cue the two of them to form a ram sign and activate their respective boosters. 

The clone of Xuba activated hers as soon as Sanae finished her dash, having plenty of time to do so as Sanae covered the remaining ground between them, having used the body flicker to put herself parallel with the Xuba clone, on his right side, 10 meters away. The Xuba clone would wait there, turning left to face his adversary and assuming a defensive stance as Sanae approached, waiting for her to arrive, and noting the kunai that she had drawn. He would ready himself for a defensive action if she attacked, but if for some reason she did nothing, he would merely punch her in the face as hard as he could. The clone noted that some distance away, the one whose form he had assumed would turn his back to him and instead face his sister. 

He wondered idly if she'd leave any remains for him to inspect when this was all said and done. 

As for the clone of Sanae, she approached more cautiously, walking briskly to meet her opponent at was probably a speed of like 3 or something, who came jogging towards her, twirling chains and dolling out what she could only assume was supposed to be banter. The mimic smiled a sinister and unnatural grin from inside the false body of Sanae, walking to approach. When the distance between them was about ten meters, she would reply in kind. 
"Arrogant words for one who has lost blood so soon." She sneered. "I must say, your friend's body is much more powerful than the usual rabble I face. A shame she doesn't seem to know how to use it." Her words were full of gleeful malice. 

She would continue to approach until she was just two meters away, at which point, if her opponent had made no attempt to attack, she would just move to punch him in the face really hard. She fully expected a counterattack, but if he didn't attack for some reason, she'd take what she could get.

After the dash towards whatever was attacking her it seemed as if she could now see whom she was facing and it was, Xuba? Something was weird about this whole thing but she would think about this later. Now it seemed like he had activated the seven heaven's breathing as well, because she could see the golden glow in his eyes and the aura around him. At still 10 meter she would then extend her hand towards him as she would draw closer. As her own golden aura would die like a flickering lamp she would then once again be able to use her chakra again. Pointing her palm at him had one good use, catching him inside an illusion of a forest like this, tropical and green. But that was not the key to it. The key was the feeling of being stuck in quicksand and quite rapidly sinking in that should render him where he stood for the moment. What followed was that she then threw her kunai towards him aiming at his torso, in hopes he would either still be trapped inside the illusion or at least be too busy clearing the illusion.
Five meter mark another tech activated to give her a little more confidence in the fight ahead and finally using her bloodline like she was used to do. So now covered in her armour she could rely on its strength and the power it granted her. No she was up close with her enemy and if by the chanced event of her reaching him he would still be able to try and hit her she would use the inside outside block to manoeuvre his arm to the side with an open hand to gain on speed to hit him with the aerial strip mid body.

The rush of adrenaline coursing through his veins. It brought xuba back, back when he followed his own laws and hence his own crumbling road. It felt like years where he felt the thrill of actual combat.

The pain. Such a wake up call... good moooooooooooorrrrrrrrrining xuba!


The man thought as the wound from the shrunken bled a bit but was not bothersome.  His grey eyes fell on the imitation of sanae. This looked like it was not going to be as fun as he thought. The mere fact that one these two would play such a trick was not so easily forgiven.  The yellow glow from the eyes signified that this person went seven heavens breathing. A slight problem but the sooner she was taken out the better.

Xuba finished twirling the kunai and pointed it lazily at the fake sanae before holding it in a reverse grip facing the sharp point away from his body. As the girl approached  xuba casually went towards his right 3 meters in a semi-circle, and he slowed to a speed of 4. By this time the fake sanae was closing in the 10 meter mark.  xuba did this to keep an eye on the real sanae and the shadow of the individual that threw the weapons earlier. It was to keep an eye on the other conflict should he need to jump in to help sanae, plus to avoid other randomly thrown weapons. by slipping behind some of the trees. 

 xuba kept a steady distance as the fake sanae approached him. She spoke something of arrogance which xuba being close enough to easily make a facial expression. He simply raised an eyebrow as the two closed the 2 meter gap.

"guess you are first..."

 Xuba would say as would watch as the fake sanae would by all simple purposes attempt to throw a strike to his face.  Xuba would take a step forward to a 45 degree angle to his right (the fake sanae’s left) avoiding the punch by a safe 1ft. Remaining aware of a retaliation of any sorts that would perhaps follow from the girl,  and facing the fake sanae  with a 1ft gap between her and himself all set to strike, which he did.  As the fake sanae would probably notice xuba was now in a fighter stance with arms up in guard. so without missing a beat xuba would immediately begin his counter assault,

Moving in tune with his dodge xuba would begin his counter attack with the first of the 5 strikes consisting the technique known as Evening Elephant. Hence he would strike with full force and power. As the two were still close xuba would move at full speed to keep in close and safe should the fake sanae desire to move to dodge or strike back.  As his fists would pretty much move faster than the formation of the wind vortex that would surely result from these strikes. His Hands protected by the gauntlets hence being careful to not do too much damage to them or himself.

His First strike was with the left hand holding the kunai as he was now gripping it still in the reverse grip, the strike and  was aimed directly at the fake sanae’s rib cage, an attempt with easily what was considered bone shattering force to completely annihilate the breathing complicity if not outright kill the target due to the blunt force.  The second strike with his right hand  aimed at the shoulder as if it hit it would pretty much be an attempt to shatter her arm or for overkill proportions stuff the arm back deep into the socket. With of course the same speed and force. His third strike was aimed at the temple of the fake sanae. Easily defining the definition of k.o, as “knock off” an hope that this was going to land with ease and if she was alive pretty much a knock out or dead corpse flying away. The fourth strike now aimed back at the hopefully still destroyed ribs in hopes of purely piercing the flesh (if he did not already. if the first strike landed) the mere hope of sending the faker to a quick afterlife, while the final strike would consist of a strike  back to the  shoulder. (Evening elephant: speed:+60 after being scaled and halved due to booster, +47 strength, wind vacuum power: (assuming it  be 100 since it probably scales with strength)  Final speed of each strike: 245, final strength:177)

With each strike being carefully placed and timed xuba would keep his focus on the fake sanae yet remaining aware of the conflict between the real sanae and the other shadowy figure that would occur in the distance behind the fake sanae as he would be ready to act and defend the real sanae. as hopefully after his counter strike the fake was a broken mangled body half dead.

Well, shit. The mimic of Xuba had run into a problem. As that girl had approached, she extended out her hand, and trapped him in some sort of fantasy world. It was immediately obvious to him that this was a genjutsu, but it seemed that in his current form, he could not escape it. That man whose form he had assumed had apparently neglected to master the technique. He couldn’t escape for now. As the quicksand began to pull him in, he cursed under his breath, his technique deactivating as it was now useless to him…

The clone of Sanae noticed this, as her face was pointed towards the mimic of Xuba. An inner monologue of something along the lines of “Shit, I can do that?” occured, before she closed in for her initial attack, about at the 5 meter mark. Instead of closing in, she stopped, the light from her eyes fading as the Seven Heavens technique subsided, mimicking her counterpart, stretching out her hand towards Xuba in the form of a palm thrust, and hurling her opponent into the very same genjutsu that her counterpart had placed his counterpart into. The real Xuba would be paralyzed at the same time as the fake one was struck in the chest with a kunai, a nonlethal blow that thankfully missed anything vital, but still a painful attack. It passed cleanly through his chest, the force knocking him onto his back.

The clone of Sanae would then close the gap and strike the real Xuba on the temple, hard, with enough force to render him unconscious for the remainder of the fight, but not enough to kill him. Yet. She kept moving after that, quickly drawing a kunai, tightly wrapped with an explosive tag, which she infused her chakra into and hurled at her remaining opponent at a speed of 137 (piercing of swiftness is boosting the clone's speed btw). This attack was aimed at the center of her left calf, thrown hard enough to likely pierce through her leg just as she struck the clone of Xuba, assuming she did not move. As Sanae currently had her back to the fake Sanae, this would be difficult to avoid.

She could continue moving after that, running towards her opponent and quickly gaining speed.

As it seemed the Gen had caught him and Sanae was glad about that and as her kunai would make him sink to the ground and so as she reached him there was no need to evade a punch and she would just throw the prepared punch into the stomach of the wrong Xuba. Crackling the ground since normally this would have send him flying and rid him of all his clothes. Now that she was pretty sure he would not fight back anymore she would hit against his head and pull out the kunai to stand up dragging him up with her to originally threaten to kill him should the fight not end. Now as she turned she could see the kunai racing at her so she would pull up the body of the fake Xuba and let him take the hit for her before pulling him up fully and throwing him and the explosive tagged Kunai towards her fake fusing her own chakra into the tag to explode it. Then following it to draw her bone sword and go into the dance stance that went along with that sword to start stabbing at her the moment she came into reach.

Now while a person approaches an enemy. Theres are rules as xuba knew them by your immediate danger comes first. The first of these was where the girl had turned her head towards the other two fighting. Xuba took this instant as he kept moving to grip his chain weapon with his right hand at the end and it slid off his shoulder. Dragging in the dirt behind him. Actions done max speed.

All the while her focus on the real sanae's actions as xuba had his focus was on his opponent. For he knew sanae could handle herself. He watched as the  yellow glow dimmed from the fakes eyes. This as he knew signified the end of seven heavens. Which he was currently utilizing and so the girl stopped. Her shoulders betrayed her motion.

Yeah ok then... Die faker....


Xuba thought as with the raising of his left arm at full speed (180) much faster then the sanae fake could raise their hand and attempt to outstrech it.  Hence this was the underhand throwing motion as he tossed the kunai towards the fake sanae now about 3 meters away from himself since she stopped  moving. It was  aimed right between her chest slightly to the left of her chest bone where the heart would rest.  The bridge of the nose  The kunai flew at an bewildering speed of 207 and the defying sharpness of:119.  

Yet he kept the movement up as he began to cross the chain infront of him at max speed utilizing the figure eight formation. He kept track of the chains motions to avoid causing harm to him. But at max length of four meters being weilded at his throwing speed along with the snazzy bonuses. The chain moved at a speed of 217 and the impact force being 217. At this time should it impact the fake sanae whos arm would still proberly be extending.  The pain as xuba would imagine would perhaps be unbearable. However, figure eight motion had a twist persay. The opponent needed indeed the sharp eyes to follow its motions. (Figure 8 formation: +10 to swing speed, opponent requires an additional +10 rt to track the chains. The fake sanae will need a 227 rt to track the chains.)
 
As he steadily approached the fake sanae the question would remain. Why would one slow down on such an opponent. His eyes flickered towards the sanae versus the other figure. His senses alert so if the fake sanae would attempt to do something at their distance. Xuba would note and act appropriately.
