The Smiling Dark enters the Fray [Hunter]

Mission Specs:

"Are you sure you want to do this my young child? It isn't like you to get into such...barbaric tendencies for no reason...Unless you have one of course?," the voice would soon come to realize why the boy had been doing this. He stood in the darkness of the entrance he would be walking through as soon as they announced his name. He wanted the experience that came from being in a life or death situation, for he knew that he would eventually be in one. Every nerve in the young Genin's fluttering heart had been going off. He was a gentle soul in a violent world, but if he was going to protect his home he needed to do this. His right hand moved to the spot where he had only recently gotten a new kidney. This was all in order to get stronger to protect his home and family...He had to continue to remind himself of that as he waited patiently. The announcer would soon go through his entire spiel to entice and hype the audience. He listened to how he introduced his opponent, someone who had been holding the spot of "newbie" slayer. Why they had stayed at this level was beyond Ishi, but maybe they enjoyed beating people weaker than them, but didn't want to fight people stronger. Either way Ishi would roll his shoulders as the announcer began to hype up the new guy, him.

Announced as the new kid, Ishimaru would begin to walk out of the darkness and into the light of the arena as his full appearance would come into view. Wearing his usual attire which consisted of a jacket which he kept open, a white shirt and a pair of blue pants. On his left hip sat his sword, Hitobanju, and attached to his left leg and his lower back were his Kunai holster(left leg) and ninja pouch(lower back). He wasn't wearing his Konoha headband, for that was tucked in his bag at the hotel he was staying in, but for now he waited for his opponent to do anything, his hands at the ready to make any necessary movements to react or counter whatever may come his way. Ishimaru's current positioning was 15 meters away from his opponent.

Ishimaru watched intently as he looked at his opponent. He wasn't going to make a mistake here that would cost him the life he worked so hard to fight for. As the male began to move his body in what Ishi perceived as a stretch, Ishi kept his posture and stance freely flowing like the wind. With the two men still being 15 meters apart, he wondered what the man would do to start this fight. As would come to pass he would watch as his arm moved in an attempt grab...or punch? In combat one did good to watch the entire picture rather than snippets and while they were still 15 meters apart and only the arm had moved, Ishi made sure that each of his movements had purpose. Gauging the distance, Ishi moved his right hand within an inch of his left in case he needed to make a quick set of handseals, but would remain in a neutral position to gauge his opponents next move. He knew with the distance between the two he wasn't going to be able to grab him and with the swift activation of his doujutsu he would be aware of any chakra that might come into play. What Ishimaru was more concerned about however was if or rather when the male made another movement that would exceed where they were or even move from the position they were currently in, Ishimaru would begin to go on the defensive making sure that he would be able to swiftly and directly move with and against his foe.

Left to right, Kiyoshi's right finger would wag. His expression was one of both amusement and disappointment. The boy didn't necessarily react to his bluff, but did reveal something of interest to him. His eyes shifted, Doujutsu most likely, which doubtlessly held some complex nature. None of the oponent before now seem to have a kekkei genkai that he recollected. "Ah, perhaps this won't be a complete waste of my time. You, too possess special blood. I wonder just what those eyes of yours can really do."

Emerald iris were pushed to the edge as they were discharged by bright gold. So vibrant that the small black pupil seemed to be swallowed by their intensity. His left arm to his hand would began to manifest galvanism, radiantly white. This goes without saying that Ishimaru would take notice of this build up in chakra with those discerning eyes of his. Kiyoshi would cock his left hand back and thrust it forward as he rotate his hips and slung his right down to release a arrow of lightning of 50 centimers long and 10 centimers wide as it was tall. At a throwing speed of 95 and a power of 50. The sound of the jutsu release sounded like the clap of thunder, his attire would sway ferociously as it left him. 15 meters were good enough for him to release the tech at a alarming velocity. Aiming this arrow at the torso of the genin with an impact force of 55.  

From his angle, with his right hand now out of sight, he would swiftly withdraw from his weapon pouch 2 kunai, 1 attached to an explosive tag, which he was flowing chakra through and the other single. Rotating his body to the left, shifting his right forward while eyeing the genin he would launch the kunai attached to the explosive tag at the speed of 95 a sharpness of 50 as well as an impact for of 55 in what every direction Ishimaru was to take to avoid his jutsu in a means to cut him off in his stride. The moment that he block, or even avoid the kunai the explosive tag would activate at a speed and power of 55 instantly upon meeting Kiyoshi's desires with a range of 1 meter in all directions.  

Should Ishimaru manage to block the arrow of lightning Kiyoshi's would continue with his follow up, but his aim would be directly towards the genin instead of to cut him off, yet his tactics would remain the same.  

As the projectile leaves his person, the Akari would stand his ground, waiting to see what his opponent would do next, in his right hand he would twirl the kunai between his fingers effortlessly with no harm to himself. He looked on intently as he did so.

Jutsu and AP:

He saw through the bluff and whether or not his opponent had been pleased or displeased by his action were not Ishimaru's primary concern. His concern was what had been coming next. Though he didn't see the male making any handseals, he could however see the chakra building up within his body. He was thankful for his eyes that they allowed him to see that which most couldn't. As the males chakra had been building up, Ishimaru quickly went on the attack weaving a string of hand seals and his maximum speed. Snake → Ram → Monkey → Boar → Tiger were the seals he made at his quickest speeds, matching the males movements. As his opponents arm thrusted backwards, Ishimaru's final seal would complete and as the white of the lightning began to thrust forward and out from his body, a stream of fire would leave his mouth. At the speed of 100, he would quickly exhale a thin stream of fire 6 inches wide before a fireball that was 20 meters in diameter that would hurl to meet Kiyoshi's arrow head on. What Ishimaru wasn't aware of was the secondary attack made by his opponent. Ishimaru however had an idea that would make this interesting. The moment the fireball detached from the stream of fire, Ishimaru weaved three more seals that would set in motion a chain of events that would make the fight interesting for his opponent. Spawning five meters from his left would be a clone of his own chakra, that deep seated Yuumei that swelled within him.

The clone upon creation would begin to move at Kiyoshi while weaving a set of four seals before quickly reaching backwards to unsheath the sword on the clone's back. As the sword began to gleam in the light of the world it would be quickly swallowed by the black and blue hues of Meiton as he began his assault. As the fireball and thunderarrow clashed an explosion would occur due to the volatile mixture between itself and the lightning causing a draft of fire and wind, licking the area between them but as a result causing a chain reaction that would destroy the Kunai as well as a result. One threat had been eliminated but this fight was far from over. Ishimaru would keep his hands close by as he began to distance himself, moving back an additional ten meters while his clone continued to close the distance between itself and Kiyoshi.

The golden tools used for observation would notice the sudden build up of chakra within the frame of the genin. Thus, allowing him to alter his course of action with his opponent. Instead, he would not release his kunai at his opponent, he would way for him to make his next move. In that same light, he notice that the chakra within the jutsu that was released was far more superior to that of his own technique. (Assuming you scaled your jutsu, otherwise the arrow would have penetrated your tech and continued) the clash of the two techs would be nothing more than a one sided advance on Ishimaru's end. His jutsu overwhelmed his technique with ease, all the while revealing to him that there was more to this child than meets the eye. "Ah, that's a good one, kid! You managed to overpower my jutsu...what's was that, A rank? Haha, you're not thinking, are you?" He remarked as he notice the fireball still coursing towards him, as well and another chakra form 5 meter to the left of his opponent and 15 meters from himself. The ball of flames would need to be dealt with, but as they coursed so too did tge clone.

"You're wasting your chakra! Just throwing higher rank techniques out, one after the other. Coincidentally revealing to your opponent your range. So I take it you focus on Ninjutsu. And..." His words would trail off as he dark at a speed of 85 to the right 30 meters to steer clear of the blazing ball's fury. His eyes focused on the clone that was rushing towards him with a blade that was now coated this omnipotent chakra. "Katana? So you utilize a sword as well, quite skilled! This is what I'm talking about. I like this! Let's go, kid!!!" The clone was closing in, now at a range of 10 meters the right arm and hand thrusted to release the kunai with the tag at the boy's shadow figure. Should the kunai reach within a meter of him it would explode at a 55 power and speed in all directions by 1 meter. Enought to disperse the clone and that ominous jutsu. The in the same toss the second kunai was release and sent along another course, this was an additional 10 meters at a speed of 95 to meet with the original. 50 damage and 55 impact force.  

His eyes dart from the original to the clone, he would weave a set of seals at a speed of 85, should he managed to deal with the kunai and tag, by that time he would have completed his weaving. "Let's see how you deal with this one..." His tone full of excitement and enthusiasm. An odd display from an opponent aiming to kill you, but Kiyoshi has always had a thing for combat and this was the first time in a long time that he had an opponent that was worth a damn...but the boy was lacking something. He still moved about with little to no guidance as well a lack of resolve. It was as if he was looking for something...a reason? In all truth, it could be taken that he was holding back and that just would not do for the Akari. Hence.... From his person, like wisp - sparked electricity from head to toe. His mouth parted and from it shot a 91 centimer and 31 centimers wide spear or lightning that divided into 3 and then into 8 more spears. These highly potent spears moved at the speed and power of 80, ripping up the very ground as they traveled to the clone in a manner that was aimed to pincer it in a with a crushing blow, 2 to his left, 2 to his right - one at a degree in hight to prevent jumping around. 4 directly before him spread out evening to prevent slipping throughout. Should the clone aim to attack one of the arching spears tge others would pierce him through. Should he aim to run, they would maneuver to cut him off and end him. Their total range is 50 meters.  

In the event that the clone was done in by the kunai and tag combo, those spears would head for the original with the same method of madness. His golden eyes would carefully watch and maneuver them in accordance to cut his movements off and to do damage  equal to 80. These bolts coupled with the speed of lightning would make evading rather difficult for his opponent.

The young Ishimaru looked onward as he watched the battle progress, his eyes adapting to what it felt like to be in a real fight. Though it was slowly escalating his opponent had been dealing with his responses quite well. He wouldn't respond to his opponents banter and instead focus on what had been going on in the battle. The clone had the slight upperhand at the moment, but the introduction of a new element caused it to change its plan of attack. As the first kunai was slotted to leave his hand, from the lips of the clone would erupt a plume of flames. From the flames birthed a flaming bird two meters wide and one meter long that would interrupt the flight path of the kunai. The bird would barrel toward the Kunai and its owner at the speed of 110 and carrying the power of the same caliber as it engulfed the kunai and soon after begin to head toward Kiyoshi. The second Kunai however would be swiftly dodged by the Original Ishi as he moved to the right and continued keeping distance from Kiyoshi. What was needed for this battle was to get a better understanding of his opponent. It was good that Kiyoshi only thought Ishimaru was only capable of Ninjutsu and some Weaponry use, but Ishimaru was not about to fold all of his cards. With the addition of the bird, the clone would begin to watch Kiyoshi carefully as they spewed forth bolts of lightning. Before coming up with a course of action he would watch the interaction between the lightning and the fire bird before making a hasty action, but his defenses would remain up as a just in case. The original Ishi, now moving to a position of 20 meters away from Kiyoshi would keep his hands in a position where he could quickly make a set of hand seals or react to a change in the fight should it come. What would come next would definitely cause him to push harder...but for now he would wait.

"What? No hand seals?" Kiyoshi barked within the confines of his mind as the avian of flames manifested to not only destroy his kunai, but to collide with his stream of lightning. Seeing the chakra that the technique held with his golden eyes, the boy would cease his jutsu from spewing as the bird traveled. Its speed was frightening as it approached, but he darted back 3 meters, enough to give himself some space before shifting himself to a steady bounce. His bare feet shifted left to right with each bounce. As the flames of the bird gradually approaches, so too was what the Akari had in mind. "He's not bad, but he's been on the defensive for the duration of this fight. Ninjutsu favors him more than myself." With Ishimaru's jutsu only 5 meters away, the Akari removed his robe, revealing a white sleeveless top.  

From the depths of his being, howl his chakra. One, two, four sensitive. Yet stubborn locks within himself were keyed by force - opening and unlocking g a surge of power that was only spoken in legend and some little few. His body bulged with veins swelling from the chakra flowing through them, navigating to fuel his body with raw power that would be hardly matched. His flesh shifted shades from tan to red, due to the hate of pain being opened. Pain...something that Kiyoshi knew all too well, something that constant played on a loop in the back of his mind and heart. His life was nothing but pain and the only remedy to subside it was battle, life threatening battle. Heat was beginning to irritate the arena, but this heat did not come from the pheasant...it came from the boy. His hair began to stand at the top of his head, chakra spewing from his being to form an aura that coated him by 1 meter. His muscle flex and grew in proportion. With a sudden wave of shock from his transformation, Kiyoshi was ready to begin taking his battle more seriously.  

Strength was now 85, speed 155. The bird was now 3 meters before him. Kiyoshi glanced to the right at which he Darts at a speed if 155 - 5 meters, pivot and twisting on his right foot and shifted his route to the left he dashed 13 meters - well out of the way if the bird, avoiding it in kind. Once golden eyes, now blanched and without iris and pupil he focused on the clone that was now 5 meters to his left. Anything pivot and twisting of his right foot would deliver him to a mere meter of his opponent. At which he would begin his assault in one fluid motion. His left foot plants firmly into the surface of the terrain, his right extends and swings with deadly precision and intent towards the face of the clone at a speed of 92. However that was not the end of the attack. Should it hit then the clone would disperse, however, should Ishimaru move to duck, or block he would notice the true effect of the technique. As if a mirage took place a series of Kiyoshi in an afterimage flowing to use the same kick would possible throw the clone off, where the real blow would come from a low kick aimed at the joint of the knee with a power of 57 taking his legs from under him. This should be enough to disperse the clone, but if not he would deliver an awe kick at a power of 85 and speed of 155 driving the clone into the ground creating a nice 2 meter cracking that webs out under him.  

Kiyoshi would turn his attention to the original after supposedly dealing with the clone. Analyzing him for his next move.  

Should the clone manage to avoid the maneuver and assault, Kiyoshi would respond in the absolute necessary manner.

The fight had finally been ramping up and Ishimaru thought at first he had this fight in the bag. With the phoenix flying toward its intended target, he smiled at the thought of finally winning this and hopefully gaining his first victory in life. The clone would continue on its path just behind the fire bird to finish off the male, but something didn't feel right. The smell and feeling of the air began to change as Ishi saw the buildup of chakra within the male, swelling from point to point until it exploded from their body. The feeling that Ishi had developed was now...uncertainty... one might even say fear. The clone wouldn't allow this new feeling to overwhelm them so they would continue onward. Before the clone could swing the sword as its opponent rushed toward him, he would hold his assault. As the first move came, Ishi 2.0 would use the sword to block the first attack hearing the cracking in the sword and knowing that its time was soon up. At the same time, the original Ishi would weave a quick set of hand seals, Snake, Boar, Monkey, Dragon, Ox ,but not unveil the technique...yet. It was when the second fluid motion came and broke the sword, throwing the balance that the clone once had off and soon ending its life. With a mind numbing sound, the clone's life would end in a display of black and blue.oozing from once was the clone. Should the light bringing male wasn't careful the ooze would prove to hinder the tmales movements. However he would feel that his chakra system was being debilitated by the proximity of the black and blue mist.

Ishi stared at his opponent now seeing the severity of the fight and knowing that he needed to do something to win. With his right hand he would quickly move backward and unsheathe his sword, prepared to fight with both jutsu and weapon.

The mixture of blue and black mist would envelope the Hikari. With its binding came with the feeling of his chakra feeling...restricted. Kiyoshi looked at the smoke to see it was flowing with chakra. "Clever... but I can survive without it." The tone in wish his spoke was levels deeper than it was before.  

Pure white eyes would find the Shinkou - observed as he moved in response to what was before him. Kiyoshi picked up on her he was beginning to take things more seriously, a smile formed on his face as he slowly stepped from the mist until completely out of its depth. Sharp tilting of the head from left to right would crack his neck, releasing any lingering stiffness that may have resided there. The chakra that was about his being roared as he honed in on the positioning of his target.  

Bouncing in place, shifting the weight from his left foot to right, repeatedly. Preparing to close the distance once more. Those eyes of his noticed a build up of chakra from the genin. He was clearly planning something, but it mattered not. Kiyoshi believed that he had to pay him back for that mist he concealed in his clone....a nasty surprise, he must admit. Eyes narrowed as brows furrowed at the slightest movement of the opponent. The moment he telegraphed his movements to the Hikari - Kiyoshi was on the move at a speed of 155. Moving like the wind as he pushed to close the distance ever so rapidly. From his weapon pouch he retrieved 2 kunai both tethered to a wire, at the end of those wires of 5 inches were an explosive tag on the right and smoke bomb on the left. He thre them both at once at an angle at a speed of 160. Once the projectiles were within 2 meters of tge genin along their awkward angle they would ping - the tips of the kunai were drawing closer to each other, eventually clashing and bouncing off one another. As they did, both the smoke bomb and explosive tag would set off. Causing an explosion that would expand at a speed and power of 55 an entire meter all around, as the smoke would spread at the same speed but up to 10 meters all around. The explosion was more of an disorient to throw the genin off, as the smoke was to hopefully blind him as it was thick enough to prevent light from entering. However, for an Hikari it was nothing. He could navigate clearly through the smog.  

Entering the cloud he would dart and push off from the ground, gliding above it at such a speed that it was as if he was soaring towards the Shinkou. Once he was within 3 meters his feet hit the ground and he continued his approach rapidly, carefully watching as he entered his personal space. That very right hand of the genin would be grabbed at the wrist by the left hand of the boy and with a tuck and jerk into a twist would swing the genin off his feet overhead with ease - slamming him i to the ground with such force that it would wind him if successful. "I'll take this!" With maliciously grim tone he would swiftly place his left foot on the face of the genin to eliminate any movement from him. Immediately moving the wrist to his right hand and begin to wail away at the joint if his elbow. The sound of bone crack, breaking and severing under the force of his strikes could be heard but not seen by the audience. The sound of splatter as blood painted his face, body and clothing and ground as he removed the right arm of the Shinkou.  

"This look suits you better, kid. Hahaha." He removed his foot and began walking way from his opponent with arm in hand, blood oozing from the limb as he emerged from the thickness of the smog into view. Raising his right hand to show what he had claimed from his opponent. The arena roared with excitement as if this was the Kiyoshi they came to love. His gruesome nature taking advantage of the battle. He celebrated with them, showing them he did not think much of his opponent to maintain his guard now that he had this...a trophy.
