Lost Lunch [HUNTER]

Deep Web Hitman: Modder's Depression Shrimp

Spoiler:

Honey sat in a resturaunt, relaxing as he let his tension release from the day's work.

Biting into a delicious chunk of meat, Honey Bunches smiles and starts to drift into a wonderful daydream. The day had been successful and he was not covered in blood, a great new change for him. It looked like his path to chunin would not have to be stained in blood after all, and for this he was thankful. After his last run-in with a strong ninja, he realized that attacks could be invisible, and he growled as he thought of this.

His growl turned into a yawn as he looked over at his friend, a smile on his face. "You want some?" He offers some of his food.

State sheet:

Arantima Walked into the place that Honey had shown him on the map from before having let himself calm down enough to Reset his mask on reality. He was Settled and when he found Honey seated at the place he went over to sit with them and smiled to them before politely waving off the offering of food, he was hungry but it was not going to help to eat while his stomach was still in emotional knots. His usually dangerous looking eyes were much more wistful and longing than they usually were as he looked around at their surroundings.

"You said you wanted to hear more about me.. Yeah? What would you like to know? I don't think I am all that interesting to tell the truth.." His slow and controlled tone was even more noticeable as a conscious control over his own speaking to make it sound proper and to enunciate things clearly. Even his motions were noticeably more controlled and slow, deliberate would be an understatement as if everything he was doing was taking place in his head minutes before he actually did it, planning out ahead farther than you should especially for mundane things like talking.

What you're up against:

Target -- Honey Bunches


Jimmy is sitting in his den, rubbing his gritty palms together. It had looked like he had another time to flex his mustache muscles. Cracking his bulbous neck, he looks down at the file that he had been handed. This wasn't his first rodeo, nor his last, and he fully intended on making his boss happy. Word got around Suna pretty fast. Apparently, there was some troublemaker who had gotten into some scuffles over some pig on a spit, and Jimmy's employer wasn't too happy. That's why they decided to bring on the best of the best... He knew his own credibility in the underground, and he knew the fear that his name carried. He wasn't some rag-tag genin set on becoming Kage or anything like that... He was James Rustler. As his friend knew him, Jimmy Rustler. He wasn't about to let anyone down.

Shifting through the documents, he sees a somewhat blurry headshot of what looked to be a two-bit knock off of himself. Same kind of facial features... Same hat. Obviously this guy thought he would be the next Rustler... But that wasn't the case. Not if he had something to do with it. He would decide to start his tracking early, and do so with precision. Walking around in Suna, smirk on his face, he was able to end up tracking down this Anti-Rustler to some sort of hole-in-the-wall bar that was in the middle of nowhere. It was no matter... This would only make things easier for him. While he was still around 50 meters from the bar, he would do the proper hand seals to create two shadow clones. Jimmy then uses the transformation technique to turn each of the clones into two different characters. The first would be an elderly woman that looked as sweet as pie. Specifically a dessert pie, the mud pies would come later. The second clone would be an elderly man with a walker, and a squarish head.

Those two clones would begin to walk at a leisurely pace, around 10 speed, towards the entrance of this small restaurant that the two of them were in. While this would happen, Jimmy would activate his chakra suppression, and begin to move in toward the side of the bar to get a bit closer to the action. It seemed like the building was definitely pretty small, and only 8x8 meters in total square meters. Though small, it still seemed like it held ample room for a few tables and a back room for a kitchen. The next few actions would happen would be in quick succession and happen at around the same time. The doors of this shanty would be opened up, and the two clones would very slowly saunter in, with a concerned look on their face. They would look around frantically as if missing someone. The old woman clone, with a sweet, rose blush on her cheeks, would look at Jimmy's target. "Excuse me, young man... Have you seen our daughter...? Have you seen Candice?"

Jimmy outside would then break his chakra suppression, raising his hands up and causing a massive growth of wood to quickly wrap around the building, coming out of both the walls of the exterior as well as the ground around the walls. This would essentially form a 2-meter thick barrier of wood on the exterior of the entire building, all of which Jimmy was directly adjacent to, on the backside of the building (opposite to the front door). While there was only one entrance in and out, Jimmy thought it would be safest on this outside spot.

"Candice... Candice..."

It looks like it would be covered in blood after all. A deep whiff from the beast's sense technique, Honey's nose revealed that both of these two individuals were being followed by a third. The elderlies smelled fine, but the other unknown presence approaching outside put his hair on edge. These events would happen in even more rapid succession. He had been keeping an almost obsessive track of everyone and everything he had seen throughout Sunagakure, and this couple was unknown to him, both in scent and in looks. Even if that were not the case, the sound of some ability or another creaking and cracking outside, heard with help from his advanced hearing and the close distance was enough to send Honey charging towards the front door, without a moment of pause. “Can-” He heard them start.

He had not been careful as of late, and this was no different, even if he could perceive everything and note it, he was still the same Honey Bunches. If these were innocent bystanders, they would be injured soon, a casualty of Honey's poor judgment. “Dice?” They only had the chance to say the name of their daughter once. Speeding past the two elderlies from his position .5 meters in front of them where he enjoyed his meat, at 130 speed, he would use them both to push off them to increase his speed, inadvertently flinging them towards Arantima if they couldn’t hold their ground as he ended up outside. This would knock them to the ground and give him the edge he needed to get out the door as he landed on his shoes, a small cloud of dust rising from his feet. He was ready.

Getting out the doorway was not a snap, but it was possible. Wood would be growing quickly already as he lept, but because of his advanced reaction speed, Honey would easily dodge right over it and avoid a potential injury, dead set on the scent from just outside. He had smelled him as soon as he got within 25 meters, his pungent reek obviously not that of a village nin, and not of a family he recognized. As Honey looked to him, he noted that the man was of a grimy sort as the wood continued to grow, and Honey noted they were boxed in to a rectangle, with a road about 5 meters wide being the only ground between them and more buildings, besides the road’s length which went off into the distance, and the now sealed door behind him.

Honey was fully prepared to murder this individual. It looked as if he were the deranged head of his obviously sprouting fan club and the poor mockery of his signature look, and he was no stranger to being skulked. “Here to finish the job?” He howls. If he had not started his technique on the building, he likely would have taken pause, but as the battle had already begun, Honey would end it just as swiftly.

He would waste no time from here, tossing two fistfuls of shuriken (5) to both of his sides, following with a kunai to hit his head as soon as he dodges. Unless he were to deflect them or otherwise, they were all spread throughout the road's length moving at 105 speed, and he followed those by drawing his blades, his own chakra crackling across the great weapons.

Tech:

Arantima Stood and manged to draw his Twin Demon lance, Making it barely a few steps as he watched Honey flee out of the room and the door shut behind him. He watched the Elderly couple Honey had used to propel himself forward and listened to the wood growing outside and knew that he was sealed in, He did not know what was doing it, but he knew at the very least that he could not get out on his own. Arantima was very wary of the elderly couple that had entered not a moment before the Room was sealed, He Used his swift speed to immediately Form Hare, Snake, Boar, Ram, Tiger, Ox hand-seals and... Nothing seemed to happen yet..?

As the Elderly couple were knocked towards him Arantima Flicked his wrists and arms out once more and Threw the Wire that bound the Two halves of his dragon lance in two loops aiming to catch Both of the elderly people and bind their arms to their sides, hopefully forcing them to fall flat on their faces. He Darted Forward so that he would be behind them at a distance of 3 meters and able to keep the loops bound taught with his Twin Demon lance halves held ready to strike ".. I do not wish to harm you.. But I can not be sure that you are not under a Genjutsu. Stay on the ground and I will not harm you, If you make a move to stand I will be forced to Act as if you are my enemy! Please.. Stay down.. If you move even a little bit Im going to have to hurt you" His voice was trembling with adrenaline and fear.. and hope. hope that they would listen to him and obey.

Two Kunai Shot out of his weapon pouch and deposited Two Explosive tags by the heads of the Elderly couple before returning and hovering in the air around himself, orbiting his head around headband height, whizzing about at 40 speed almost defensively. This was his plan so far, Hold the two Elderly folk down and out of the way so they couldn't hurt themselves of Himself while Hopefully Honey took care of things outside.  He Was fairly close to the now sealed doorway about 2 meters and he was keeping his ears perked for the sound of anymore growing wood, watching both the elderly couple and the door as he was keeping both to either side of him so his back was only to the natural interior of this building which he hoped the one who was doing this couldn't control as well.

If the Elderly couple made to move at all he would detonate the explosive tags by their heads.

The rustling continued from outside, the trees had already grown how they needed to. Since they were growing not only from the ground but also the walls of the place, it would've taken mere moments for everyone inside to be trapped there, the prison of wood and gnarled bark doing it's job perfectly. Jimmy had man different tactics already ready to be used, and this time it was no different than any other. There was a reason that his boss called him, and not some two-bit nancy that any person could pick up off of the side of the road. He was Jimmy Rustler for Hagaromo's sake, not some fly-by-night crook. 

Honey Bunches, in such a close range would shoot up towards the two 'elder' clones that had gone inside of the building, charging right into them head first. What he likely didn't realize, is that these two 'elders' were actually clones of the Jimmy Rustler, just disguised with the transformation technique. While he ran straight into the old man holdingg the walker, the man's arm would've turned into a foot-thick tree trunk. Since the man's arm was already in a 90 degree angle from the holding of the walker, he wouldn't need to so much as move a muscle for Honey to come straight into his attack. This would've come out at 60 speed, but it was only mere centemeters away from the man who had already charged into it. This wood would be directly piercing straight into the heart of Honey Bunches, and it was likely that James had completed his mission. 

If the man had somehow escaped, which was impossible, judging by the fact that he had barreled straight into the attack, the man's bull-headed nature essentially costing him the life in which he had spent making enemies with the wrong people.... He would've found that by the time he was able to make it to the door, it would've already been well covered by the trees that Jimmy had been handling from the outside. Daiko did see, however, that the other person had taken out their weapons, though they of little concern at this paticular instant. 

Onto how he wanted to handle the one on the inside. With World of Trees still active, Jimmy would be to have 'branches' of trees come shooting inward at 100 speed, each one coming at around the same time. These branches would be sharp at the tip, and begin to stab and shoot everything parallel to the door and the back wall in which Jimmy was adjacent too. Essentially, the way it was working, as if the inside of the place was a blank cube, is every 25 cm square in every direction as if the place was a flat plane, would have a branch stabbing through, like an indiana jones boobie trap. Eseentially what was happeneing, was inside of the house there were sticks stabbing through, attempting to pierce everything that was unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Depending on the actions of everyone around him, Jimmy and his clones would be reacting accordingly.

As Honey charged towards the doorway, the easy exit now became a split second between his death and the death of his opponents. The opponent's arm was pointed at him now, from 20cm away, instead of staying idle on the walker, and Honey would have to dodge 20 centimeters to the right side to avoid heart impalement, which he did, raising his arm to catch it below his shoulder as he charged into them. This would debuff the power of Great Forest by -30, causing it to deal only 60 damage, all of which is absorbed from the natural Strength barrier, breaking the strength barrier.

Because of his taijutsu mastery and his natural resistance to damage, this did nothing more than piss Honey Bunches off, as his muscles reflected the attack with little to no issue. Now, it was his turn.

Maybe if they had sent someone other than some elderlies, their fate wouldn’t have come as quickly.

Screaming, and before they could start another attack, Honey would draw both blades and sever both heads off the necks of the elderlies in one quick motion. As he was already on top of them, it would be easy to fix his strike so that he would either carve them in half horizontally, or their head would be removed with little to no issue. Their back was to a blocked door, and their path left or right was blocked by his 2.6m long blades. Sending the detached skulls backwards, if they weren’t clones, Honey continues his assault, his blades crackling with his chakra.

As the only opponents inside have died, Honey gets to work chopping away at the barricade in front of the door. It only took about two good smacks to break off a huge log, (65 dmg each) and at this rate the door would no longer be blocked by the time he had the chance to act. Keeping careful awareness, he continues destroying the barricade over the door at his max speed, a blur of flying wood chips and tan jacket.

Arantima would dive to the floor the moment that the old mans arm became a Fucking tree! He wouldn't cover his head but what would happen is that Two kunai would fly out of his weapon pouch when he was down there and hover just inches off the floor, at his own eye level as he watched the Ensuing events. The Kunai would be placed on the ground silently next to Tima's head and 2 Smoke Bombs would be Pulled via the Same means from his pouch, all the while Arantima was still fully flush with the floor when the Spikes Rocketed across the room. He Watched them impale the two clones and closed his eyes as Honey was currently working on the way out and not paying attention to the walls..

Tima placed the Two Smoke bombs next to his hips and pulled out his Two explosive tags. He Wrapped the tags around the handles of the Kunai and then Then Took control of them back with his method of mentally controlling the Two kunai, They would hover 2 meters away from himself just an inch off the floor, And he rolled one Smoke bomb towards the door so that it settled with its fuse lit 1 meter to the left of the doorway entrance he Set the other smoke bomb against the back wall of the room directly across from the other bomb only offset 1 meter to the right.  He was poised in the center of the room with his eyes on both walls where the spikes had not come from, as they would be easier entry points for anyone wanting to come in.

He Couldn't look to see how Honey was doing, he was either wounded or dead, and Either way if Tima acknowledged that right now in this moment he was going to lose himself to panic and all that was in his mind right now was survival, the thing he had taught himself since he was Seven years of age in the village of Sunagakure for 10 years.. survive. The two explosive Kunai were now in his hands and His Twin dragon lance was separated and hanging in the air behind him controlled by his Weapon manipulation technique.. If anything entered the room they were getting A kunai thrown at their head and Stomach.

The rustling once again was continuing. Jimmy, prior to this fight, had thought to himself about the many faces that he's seen. Some were boy geniuses, some were of rogue shinobi that needed to be taken care of. There was never an easy answer for any of the tasks he had to perform, especially being given the title of Rustler. It was not just his family name, no... It was his legacy. He had come from a long line of assassins and ninja that had only one task in mind. Go for the kill. Back when he was given the photograph from his employer to hunt down this man... Honey Bunches.

Maybe if they had sent someone other than James Rustler, their fates wouldn't have come as quickly.

It was no use. With the proper uses of feints and positioning, everything was coming together just as Jimmy had hoped. Well, maybe he was just the type to think of things on the fly. It was confirmed that Honey Bunches had taken the first hit from the tree-arm that he had just run into, though it was likely shrugged off. What wasn't accounted for, however, was the other 7 tree trunks that would be coming out of the same arm less than a moment after... His right arm. With Honey only moving 20 cm to his right, (The "Old Man's" Left), the 7 other foot-thick wood spikes would turn the entire man's body into a pincushion... Heart included. Unless the man was somehow unable to become invincible at the moment that he had taken the last blow to his shoulder, it would be the end of Honey's story. While one stick might be blocked, leaving an opening for 7 more in a heated moment would leave the burlesque version of Jimmy (Honey Bunches) without any organs to save him.

The other shinobi that had joined him, well... His fate would likely be less climatic. The "Old Woman" who was watching the scene unfold would see the ninja... Drop down on the floor. There were obviously some shenanigans going on with Kunai and other weapons, but the "Old Woman" clones were somewhat confused. At this moment, that was when the spikes that Jimmy outside had sent in, began to shoot inside. With the boy laying flat on the floor, his weapons, his only means of defense floating well above him... The fate would be harsh. The 100 power spikes didn't care much about whom they'd hit, and came ripping through the walls just the same as they had been planned to... While Aran was busy finding with smoke-bombs and other ninja tools... The spikes were skewering the young man lying on the ground, like a shishkabab getting ready to be thrown on the grill. Yikes.

The events that continued and followed this were likely already set in stone and would be chiseled on graves. The sticks, after the exchange with Honey and the "Old Man", would indeed pierce through everything in the room... the "Old Man" and "Old Woman" included. Everything inside of that room would be ripped into and torn into with the full force of the sticks, likely in all of their organs and parts of their body.
