Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not really here to argue, just state my opinion 3nodding

But Hideki and Kenpachi were next to each other before Kenpachi charged forward at Deidalus, making those two actually farther up than Hideki would be. And as I said before, you'd basically have to slingshot around and in front of the technique to stop it in some manner, and that would be assuming you knew how strong and how wide it would spread. Which in itself is almost indeterminable at such a close range considering he was using a technique that had no hand seals to begin with. So, you would have to charge forward, slingshot around, and at that very moment begin flowing through hand seals which in itself is a delay because let's face it, anything capable of stopping this attack is going to have more than five or six hand seals and no matter how fast you are, running through those eats up some sort of time. And finally, you'd have to already know just how damaging the attack would be at basically point blank range and know exactly which jutsu to chose to stop it. It would be nothing short of a miracle and telepathy to do something like that.

But time and distance is pretty difficult to determine. But I will say this; If it took my character and his clone just about eight to nine seconds to get there with his clone in order to counter Kiyoko and find Deidalus, we could assume for yours it would take what? Four to five since we'd be cutting that time in half right? I still don't see all that you have to do adding up to you being able to counter it. Especially with the creation of two shadow clones, and then they have to run through seals when they are created, and at that same time you'd be running through the mud moat seals. Time just isn't adding up here. You're fast, but shooting off three jutsu like that (Including "Soru") would be time constraining.

But again, I'm not here to argue for too long, just state my opinion.

@Luo: Anyone at the scene, who had been there since Kenpachi's first attack, would be able to tell that he had been using just massive area attacks. If one had that in mind, along with the knowledge that Deidalus is weak when it comes to close ranged fighting (and that was indeed of Kiyoko's knowledge), what would that one do? Watch as Kenpachi charged forward and let him have the opportunity to use another of his destructive techniques? I don't think so.
As for the time regarding the seals, if I'm not wrong I have seen the shadow clones technique being used with just a single handsign, with the time of creation being nearly instant. The mud moat? Not, wrong jutsu you got there, earth dome and mud moat are different jutsu. The dome was created by one of the clones, not Kiyoko herself. Before I posted, I searched for the Doryuuheki, the jutsu that the mud dome comes from, and saw that the time it took for a wall about two or three times the height of a person to be risen was about 2 seconds or so. Considering that the earth being used was not produced by my RPC (The description of the jutsu doesn't mention the source of earth that has to be used at the execution of technique so that doesn't really matter here) as there was plenty to be used at the scene and so it could be performed with ease. Soru doesn't require any movement from Kiyoko's hands so it isn't time constraining, it is quite the opposite, allowing Kiyoko to speed up in order to reach her destination faster while it doesn't disable the use of her hands to perform the handsigns. I appreciate that you are expressing your opinion and I'll always have a reply with my own point of view and opinion. ^-^

@Duck: Before anything else, there is a difference between how you counter and how you attempt to stop a technique. I did not try to counter his technique, Kiyoko was not aware of how his technique would be, that was so that she had not predicted the technique also would spread upwards as it was stated in gregar's post. All she knew was that as he had been using techniques that affected a considerable area and that the possibility of him using another one was very high. It doesn't matter to me if that was his final move or not, as it would happen to any post related to my RPCs when fighting, I'll post with my reaction. It wasn't a planned event, I was not informed at least, so I won't just bow down and accept a post with such a destructive technique being used at the gates of the village as if I'm not able to react. Continuing, if you are going to tell me that a wall of earth and mud, along with the protective seals would not withstand a strong raiton jutsu as if it was nothing, I will agree with you, but you cannot say it will be useless as a form of defense agaisnt it. If you still want to use that line of thought, tell me what would happen to the wall of earth then if not crumble with the impact and fall upon the raiton technique itself. It wouldn't simply disappear as if it was nothing and let the blast through.
Also, the effects of the lightning chakra on earth elemental techniques has not completely been defined has it? I know that it is able to difuse the clay bombs, but I don't think the same would happen to each and every technique of the same element. Oh and do not forget about the description of the technique, I RP based on what is written in the description of the techniques. The protective seals' description clearly states it protects the earth wall from all types of attacks, without saying anything about that protection being unable to protect against raiton techniques. Even so, I went along with the flow of the RP and did not start an argument about that. If I did, it wouldn't be completely wrong though, as I'd be just following the description of the technique. Anyway, as prolonging the fight is not my intention, I just posted as a way to prevent further damage of the village, without attacking anyone. I hope it was noticed. If the fight was finished at that point, in order to make things faster, it should have been announced. The outcome of the battle, who was injured and who was not. Leaving it like that is just not right.

(I don't really know why but I enjoy these kind of debates, I find it interesting to get to know the opinion of others~)

Beatriz, I WOULD like to point out that at the bottom of my post, it very clearly states that that was my finishing move, thus implying that that is my end to the fight, so it WAS announced. I'm sorry, but I don't care how many protective seals are used, a dome of earth would not be able to stand to lightning of that magnitude. If you read my post, Kenpachi brought his sword down when he was very close to Deidalus, so if he WAS trapped in a dome of earth, he would not have swung the sword. Finally, during the whole time this was going on, you were in the middle of fighting Luo. Its not like you finished off his clone, and Kenpachi began his attack fifteen seconds afterwards, the attacks are happening simultaneously. There is no way you would have been able to defeat Luo's clone, create two Kage bunshin, make an Earth dome rise completely around a moving target and his eight foot sword, and place protective seals to strengthen the barrier, all in the time it would take Kenpachi and Deidalus to run headfirst at each other.

Please, Beatriz, we're making a big deal of this because, in the end, this is DUCK's fight. He's the one we're trying to kill, he's the one my last sword swing was intended to hit, and he's the one who is the focus of the fight. It would be best if HE were the one who came up with the way to escape the jutsu.

Plus, if you're doing the earth dome, then you've just lost one of the items for the upcoming arc. Remember the whole description about the crystal?

It is now over with and I will continue with the flow. Give me a couple of days to rework my post.

Trust me, in a few months you and the rest of the Genin of Iwa will be amazing. Be forewarned though, I will be leaving near the beginning of next month for a week-long trip. I might be on to check on things once or twice if I am lucky, otherwise I will be too busy to check in. During that time you will be working heavily with whatever Chunin you are assigned to.

Hey everyone, I'm the new guy in Iwa. But I've been around for a while. ( then i left for twice as long. )

I hope to get to know all of you better, blah blah blah...

So what's going on?

Oh, ok.

Idk which one you should be, I don't see much ducky about you, so I'll go with the bearded one, or maybe Linkin...

Sweet, a chakra mouth. I'm not the only one with a weird bloodline.
