Bloodworks Duo 1[Hunter, Shin]

https://www.narutoroleplaygame.com/t49447-bloodworks-pit-dog-duos

Enrai was a bit excited, but also pretty nervous, as he was currently in a long tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was a large archway that was currently covered by a barred portcullis, preventing them from walking any further. Beside Enrai was Shin, his new friend that had been going on missions with him. He appreciated his friend’s assistance so far, especially because he was one of the few visitors in the village that had the ability to simply take the village’s missions. IT was really nice that the man had brought him along a couple of times. Now, this was something that anyone could do as long as they were willing to risk their own lives. Currently they were about to fight a couple of criminals to the death, and so Enrai looked over to his partner and nodded. 

Enrai walked forward to the portcullis, and soon there was someone that yelled out, followed by thunderous applause by the people watching. “Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready for blood?” the announcer would say, before the portcullis lifted up. Enrai was there, and soon he stepped out into the bright sun and golden sands of the arena, looking around. He had seen this arena before, but he was not inside of it like he was now, and it seemed a lot bigger on the inside. Two hundred meters away from him, the other portcullis would also lift at the same time, revealing the two people that they would fight. Enrai and Shin were partners that came out of the north archway, meaning the opponents would come out of the south. 

The arena was a perfect one hundred radius circle, with them being on the outer edges. The walls surrounding the outside of the circle were twenty five meters tall, and beyond that were the series of seating for the crowds. Enrai had walked and stood five meters away from the wall, and looked at the floor. It was just a large empty area that was filled with some sand, with the sand making up two meters of the floor before there was compacted dirt thirty meters down, before it was solid rock. Enrai was also three meters away from the center of the portcullis, off to the west, which was his right. “Let the games, begin!” the announcer would yell, and then the crowd screamed even louder than before, and this noted the official start to the blood games.

Akula Hoshigaki's Stats:

Tiburón and Akula Hoshigaki stepped forth from their corner of the ring to the sound of roaring applause. They stared, almost blank-faced at the crowds surrounding them for a moment before their eyes settled in unison on the tiny dots on the other end of the ring. Their opponents they presumed. Akula almost felt bad for them, fully confident in her victory over the opposing pair. She and her brother had come a long way since they had escaped from the monastery that had raised them, mastering their jutsu and techniques through their endeavors as amateur rogue shinobi. Now, they had stolen and pilfered enough jutsu to fight, and hopefully win in the Bloodworks Arena.

The two of them were a bit of a strange duo. One man and one woman, both of them were rather short individuals, being only a meter and a half in height. They were adorned in matching outfits of monk robes, wooden bead necklaces, and shaved heads. Yet it was their blue skin that was their most interesting feature, paired with bloodshot fish eyes and pointed teeth. It was quite evident as to which clan the two belonged to.

The girl, Akula, turned to her brother with a toothy grin.

"I believe it's about time that we fight for our glory, isn't it brother?"

The man, Tiburón, nodded solemnly.

"I believe it is."

The two began to run calmly at a speed of 55 each along the arena floor, mirroring their opponent's position 6 meters apart from one another. Akula was located to the right of the two, directly in front of the one called Enrai. To the left was Tiburón, directly in front of the one called Shin. Should their opponents remain in place, the two would continue their leisurely run until they were 25 meters away, provided that their opponents made no movements or attempts at jutsu. Should that occur, the two would stop for a moment to alter their plan of action accordingly.

Enrai watched as they had stopped after walking into the arena, and looked far at their opponents. It seemed that the opponents were talking, and their opponents, now more in view, were both blue. Not in the traditional sense of feeling down, no, more of the literal sense of their skin being blue in color. Enrai would make a note of this, then note that they were simply running towards them at a brisk pace. He wondered if that was their full speed sprint, but he would always assume that it was not their full speed, as it would be rather dumb to show your full speed immediately if it was going to be a big factor in a fight. In such an arena where there was a large open space for them to run around in, it was a pretty big factor. 

Enrai glanced over at his partner and simply started talking, asking a question. The opponents were still so far away that they would not even see Enrai’s mouth moving, nor would they hear him over the crowd, unless they had superhuman senses. “It looks like they’re just running straight at us. Should we just sit here and let them run for a bit? See anything on them or have a strategy?” Enrai would question his partner, glancing back and forth between his partner and the opponents, watching them get closer and closer. Enrai was not really sure what the strategy of the opponents were, as he could not see if they were holding anything, not yet at least, and it was not like he got an overview of their abilities or anything before hand, so he would ask his partner. 

He knew his partner had the Byakugan at this point, and the mission with the well taught him that the eyes could see even on a microscopic level and through solid objects, so he felt that his partner would know more than him, and be able to tell him what their overall strategy would be. It would be pretty easy to tell that one of them was a weapon user by seeing they had a weapon or so, while the other one was some sort of caster, although he was unsure if his partner could tell him what kind, he had no idea how in depth the Byakugan truly was, so all he would do is sit still and wait, figuring out how to proceed when his partner gave him more information. He would still be ready to spring into action whenever, but felt like it was wise to get more information first.

An Addendum:

Akula and Tiburón slowly worked their way across the harsh sand of the bloodworks arena towards their opponents, who still remained motionless towards their gate. Akula found it a bit odd, though she was familiar with the tactic. Lead your opponent to you and all that. That didn't make it any less irritating however, especially considering the size of the arena. 200 meters in diameter. Who needed an arena that big? These people came for a fight! Not a track meet!

Tiburón didn't seem quite as bothered as his sister. Akula never said it aloud, but the man wasn't very bright. He was far braver than his sister admittedly, though she had to wonder whether that was out of genuine courage or simply a matter of lacking the brain function necessary to process fear. Akula sighed. Maybe after this was over, she could use some of their stolen money to buy her brother a tutor.

Finally, they started to cross the massive gap between the two groups. The grin started to return to Akula's face when she noticed it. It was still relatively early in the morning, and the sun above was just peeking over the tip of the eastern wall. Its golden hue spilled out into the sand below, casting a great swathe of blinding light over the battlefield. Yet with light came shadows. And with their opponents, they were along the northern wall, sending their shadows pointing to the west, and that brief moment, that final hand seal caught by the suns rays, was just enough to tip Akula off that something was wrong.

"Brother! It's a jutsu! Get back!"

Tiburón, while far from smart, had some grasp on the concept of language and heeded his sister's direction. The two of them each used their own methods to get back before the Singularity could reach them. Tiburón used his naturally high speed of 150 to back off 25 meters, and Akula using her Body Flicker to move back the same distance. A risky maneuver, though they were already gambling their lives.

Now the twins just had to wait and see if they were out of the woods just yet...

Jutsu Used:

Enrai responded simply with a “Gotcha.” as his partner laid out his plan, saying that they should let them go ahead and just walk into their jutsu. Enrai was just going to sit and wait then, there was no reason to do anything at the moment, considering his partner was going to act first, and he was going to respond afterwards. After a bit of the people walking towards them, suddenly the two would be smashed into the ground, the front part of their bodies mashed into the sand. They might have been able to tell that a jutsu was being used with the shadows, if the two of them, Enrai and Shin specifically, were not in line with each other. They were standing in a line, meaning the sun from the east that cast their shadows would mean that their shadows would be combined into one, which would hide the actual hand seals being performed. Even if this was not the case, a small and slow movement from the shadow could not be seen from how far away they were when it activated.

The two people were now stuck in the strange space time technique that Shin had performed, and he made sure to make a note of it later, so that he did not fall for something like that in the future. Enrai immediately started weaving hand seals when his partner suggested to finish them off. He was not really going to play around with them or let them retaliate in any meaningful way, so he decided to go all out. Suddenly, a mass of hand seals were completed, and as he was weaving additional hand seals, a strange bubbled aura appeared around him, enhancing his chakra network massively. After that, the hand seals for his next jutsu was finished, his chakra network running a bit overtime as it was ready to enhance the next jutsu he performed. Finally, the last set of hand seals were completed, and suddenly a pool of dark swamp would start expanding.

This point would start expanding rapidly from three point one meters away from them, which would be twenty three meters away from himself and a bit more from his partner. The pool was in between the two on the ground in terms of east and west, and would extend to twenty two meters in radius, leaving a bit of room between the swamp and himself and Shin. This swamp would be under the other two, and as it spread to them, they would rapidly sink into the swamp, and start to suffocate. Then all they had to do was wait a little while, and this arena battle would be over. As the swamp was spreading towards him, he would back up two meters, just in case, and would motion to his partner to do the same.

AP, Jutsu and Math:

OOC:

Akula was frozen with a crushing weight before she even realized what had happened. Her teeth gritted under the strain, the weight of the pressure too much for her as she and her brother were driven into the sand below. She tried to yell, scream, but the pressure was so much. She felt it grind her down into the ground, the course sand grinding against her scales and getting in her eyes. And then it faded. The sand below dissolved into a soupy liquid, and Akula was forcefully sucked in. The world went black as the muck covered her vision, and she thrashed against an uncaring earth. Yet it did not yield. Akula squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out what little muck she could. Was this the end?

Seeing his swamp suddenly drag the two people down into the depths, Enrai would not waste much time, and start walking over there. He was a bit cautious, making sure that he would be able to react to anything that the two people now struggling in the swamp would throw at him. In his cautious state, however, he would make sure his friend Shin deactivated the gravity jutsu before he walked over. He would use the surface walking technique as soon as he stepped onto the mud of the swamp, and walked over to directly above the person that would have been to his left, the ninjutsu user. Enrai looked back at Shin, contemplating something, but then shrugged, before pitch black threads exited the sole of his right foot, heading down into the swamp until it came across the body of the man. The threads would then feel around until they found his chest, and then puncture through his chest, rapidly ripping out the man’s heart. 

The threads would then retreat back into his body, attaching the heart into its network, before Enrai walked over to directly above the other one before doing the same. Two additional hearts would now be in his body, and his threads had some sort of strange feeling to them, which sort of felt like they were trying to convey joy towards what happened, which was still strange to Enrai. He then walked off of the swamp, back towards Shin, as the deed was done, the two of them would simply be gone, another set of bones eventually in the arena. Enrai decided that he was not going to continue hiding the threads from his buddy Shin, because if the Byakugan was as good as he thought, Shin probably already knew about them. After grabbing the men’s hearts, he would end the swamp jutsu, which would re-solidify the ground, trapping them down there even if they could somehow live without their hearts for a bit. 

“Well, are they done for?” Enrai would ask Shin, seeing as how he could probably see if they were still struggling or breathing down there. If they were, then the announcer would probably be able to tell as well, using some sort of mechanism or something in the arena, meaning that the man would suddenly shout out their victory. The crowd’s cheers would be somewhat lackluster due to the display, the two rushing them then suddenly falling into the mud, nothing exciting happened, and they did not even get to see any blood which the arena was famed for. Regardless of the lackluster performance, the two of them would be paid for winning, and given a token that could be used to enter the second stage of the works, which held stronger opponents. Enrai would then take his fight money and of course split it with Shin, before heading out of there. "Want to grab some lunch? That was sort of boring."
