Re: A Dance With The Devil

Sun Jun 27, 2021 9:50 am

Tilting her head to the side with interest she would completely reemerge from the ground, standing with her hands behind her back as though she were casually watching a spar instead of witnessing the death of an attempted assassin. It made her think of her days back when she was on the other end of this field in the man’s shoes - though a 3 on 1 fight was never something she opted into, though they had come to pass from time to time, shame for him though. A wasted life was always always a pity but when your target is high ranking perhaps coming more prepared would have helped. While musing over the life this man likely led she would witness a sudden shift in Ibari’s movements and an even more sudden stream then burst of intense flames spread out at incredible speed and size - only then would a smirk emerge on her sullen face.

Flames danced in her eyes even at this distance, the residual heat could even be felt this far back though it felt more like a gentle warm flash of air. Destruction was the second most beautiful sight and there was nothing more destructive at its core than flames. She wouldn’t need to do anything as the two had it covered but she would remain at the ready were she needed.

The Hyuuga assassin waited for his opponent to get within a more manageable range than he was currently at. He was going to attempt to overwhelm them and use any opportunity to slip away towards the Kazekage that now was out of range of even his largest attacks. Aki had very little chance of beating them all at once or even 1 at a time if he had to fight all 3. Not to mention that one of them had most likely gone for help or was waiting to ambush him, but he suspected it was the former as his Byakugan could pick up no trace of the man.

Something had stopped the quieter man from advancing and he began a transformation, once again a technique that Aki had never seen before, but he could see the increase in the man's chakra network. He suspected a large attack was coming and responded in kind. Aki inhaled a deep breath as he forced his mind into a deeper state of concentration, his pupil started to flicker and a blue hue appeared around the eye. Aki's chakra system was flooded with power normally held back by his body's natural limiters, his physical speed also boosted, if he chose to use it. His opponent who was at the 40m mark had completed his handseals and a fireball was formed in front of him. At this point, Aki fully extended both arms and chakra traveled from his core down the lengths of his arms and coalesced in his palms. Then a wave of compressed chakra erupted from his palms and started to travel forward at a frightening speed, the compressed chakra wave formed into a cylinder 25m in diameter and would travel 20m before the chakra finished coming from the palm of the Hyuuga. The cylinder was barely visible to the naked eye, but if one were to have chakra vision it could be seen easily.

Kenshin, upon giving his verbal command to Ibari, would simultaneously activate both his Nemesis and form the Ram handseal so that he could body flicker, something he was only alright with doing because he was unable to be detected. Nemesis activated first, due to having no handseals, and upon activation a completely invisible sphere would begin to spread from Kenshin’s own position, this invisibility so complete that even the Byakugan would be unable to see anything amiss. His body flicker would take him 20m closer to the Hyuuga but put him slightly further away to the south, resulting in him being 15m from the man's position. Due to Kenshin’s initial position 30m from the Hyuuga, and 10m to the south of Ibari, he would flicker slightly south and almost entirely west, something that would put Kenshin 15m south of him, while Ibari was 40m west.

He was aware that this was a risky move, and that risk was shown when the Hyuuga launched some type of large wall from his palm at incredible speed and power… but thankfully, due to the trejectory of Kenshin’s movement and his starting position, he would be out of range of the technique, if only by a matter of meters. By the time The Reaper came to a stop the Hyuuga would be within his Nemesis, and The Ragdoll would waste no time in activating it, crippling the man's control over his chakra and his speed.

Provided this all went through without issue, Kenshin would once more speed through the handseals for the Ninjutsu Amplifier, followed by his Miasma. This time, he would activate the technique, with himself as the centrepoint, and from his invisible body a thick black smoke would rapidly begin to expand, destroying the earth and trees as is rapidly expanded.

From his end he could see that the assassin had something up their sleeve, and fortunately for Ibari he too had something he could do. Channeling an immense amount of Nature chakra through his body he began to shift 5 meters to his right to line up his shot perfectly. His aim had been true and his body just needed to adjust slightly to hit his mark. Before his body had transformed he would weave a set of seals before holding his hands forward as a precaution. Within his eyes a power would activate as he ran toward his fireball and the oncoming attack. Spreading from his skin he would be covered in a layer of protection that would be enhanced by the technique he had just finished preparing for. When the two attacks (the fireball and wind palm) collided, the fireball would have have exploded due to the difference of power but that didn't stop Ibari from tanking it. The issue was now the assailants attack coming at him but Ibari only smirked as he looked at it. From his left eye flowed the indominable might of Ganesha, the one who stops all. The attack would find itself getting weaker as it came closer to Ibari. Once it did from Ibari's own self sprung a technique that was taught to him by a close friend. The attack that was once moving toward Ibari would be enveloped and soon assimilated, poofing out of existence as Ibari continued onward. The combination of both his Mangekyou Technique and Assimilating Aura helped him the end as he continued onward toward the assailant head on.

Mizuki continued to watch the ‘battle’ unfold in front of her eyes - though to call it a battle would be unjust to the word itself. This was more like an overpowered annihilation and she couldn’t help but feel as though the destruction was bit.. Overdone. “What a wasteful end…” Was this remorse? Possibly, she was always one to enjoy the final moments of before death and even watching the light leave eyes but this felt different and just wrong somehow. Her face would morph into one of remorse and regret as she witnessed the death of a formidable shinobi at the hands of her own - what was becoming of her? Had she lost her way.. Turning her face from the action she would stare off into the surrounding growth as the battle raged on ahead of her; far enough that she wasn’t even involved.

Aki had fired off the blast of compressed chakra towards one of his enemies, it expanded out into a wall and met with his opponent's technique. Something that a normal ninja could not see the other side of the two techniques clashing was occurring and his wall palm was absorbed. However, due to the Byakugan, he could see his target absorbing the attack. Aki had no time to think about his next move though as he felt his chakra system come under attack. Something nearby had managed to get to him without him seeing, was it the third man from before? so he did not teleport, he can hide his presence from the Byakugan?

Aki mind started to slip from its usual high function as the Miasma spread from Kenshin. In a reactive attempt to protect himself Aki activated his chakra system and overloaded it allowing the chakra to burst from every tenketsu point on his body. However, the power would not be enough to deal with whatever he was assailed with. The Miasma would wash over his body and burn him badly, but he was still alive, the man activated his vanish technique and attempted to teleport 20m forward towards his original opponent.

Kenshin would watch in glee as The Hyuuga was overcome by his own fears, activating techniques in an attempt to mitigate the damage that his Miasma would inflict upon him, but the technique the man chose… was not the greatest for that purpose. In fact… whatever that strange technique was, it did absolutely nothing to mitigate the damage of Miasma… and that was enough to confuse The Ragdoll for a few moments… long enough for the man to teleport out of the initial wave of Miasma. However… this was a fatal flaw, as the man had teleported 20m towards Ibari… putting him 10m to the south-west of Ibari himself, roughly 6m in front of the rapidly expanding wave of Miasma and almost exactly 20m to the east of Kenshin. The Ragdoll, not simply content to watch as his opponent was consumed, would drop his Dustless Bewildering Cover and extend his right hand in the direction of The Hyuuga, using his Byakugan to lock onto the man… before activating his favourite power from The Rinnegan.

“Get over here!!!” He would cry, before activating his Bansho Ten’in and pulling The Wannabe Assassin directly back towards the wave of Miasma. The man, due to his Byakugan, would be able to see the feral smile on Kenshin’s face as he did so, and it would be the last thing he saw as he was consumed by the corrosive chakra. His body, once through the expanding wave of chakra would go limp as Kenshin allowed his Bansho Ten’in to end, and the body of the Hyuuga would fall to the ground and begin to roll down towards The Ragdoll, who stood calmly in the centre of the still forming crater. When the corpse came to a stop it would be by his feet, but he had been examining it carefully as it rolled towards him… while burned badly by the technique, it was still completely intact, and Kenshin knew that he could salvage everything he wished from the corpse. He was immensely grateful for The Rinnegan, as it had been what allowed him to perfect Miasma and not simply destroy all of the corpses it created.

Finally, he had another pair of Byakugan for sale!

ibari didn't blink as the events of the fight came to a close, his eyes watched as the assailant came into view 20 meters in front of him and a smile appeared on his face. The cloak surrounding would begin to pulsate and grow until the body had begun to ragdoll in the direction of Kenshin. Stopping he would keep up his attacks and wait to see what would happen. The fight was finally over. Dropping his techniques he would smile and look at the body," Well that's over. And i want a nap." From then he would wait for the others to head back to he could shower and nap.

Giving a sigh she would watch the end of the fight with a sinking feeling in her chest - had she outgrown this place, these people? Something to ponder it seems... the thoughts would linger as she sank into the ground once more without a word.
