Quote:
While Mina was close with Shikarie and herself, Inohachi made sure to press her fingers up against her forehead slightly as she also connected Mina. She could feel their emotions. It was overwhelming and suffocating. Frustration. Annoyance. Fury. 'Can you please keep your emotions in check?' She asked the girls. After all, when in a battles should you keep a calm mind? So that way, you won't make a mistake? Wait. She can use this. This was so negative! Inohachi was not used to these kind of emotions as she got to behind Chosuke and fingertips pressed up against his forehead as Masato[e] made his next move. Determination. She could feel strength, calm and determination from Chosuke. Which honestly surprise her. 'Yer tougher than you look kiddo' That was her cue. Inohachi moved away from Chosuke but it seemed that Masato[e] had something else in mind.
An open palm, stopping few centimeters before her and before she could do anything, she felt the hit as it sent her flying back. Landed on the ground with a thud, she felt a bit of pain as she trembled while pushing herself up. 'We need him still! I can switch minds with him!' Inohachi would inform the others. She needed to find a way to get the last one, Kotori. She needed to be careful. She may not be able to take in one more attack like that. Her chest hurt and it was tight but the emotions of her teammates were helping her continue on. The Yamanaka started to doubt if they can even get him still.
He was too fast.
Telepathy connected! [ Shikarie, Chosuke, & Mina ]
Suiton l Raiton l 295 [ -20 ] / 400 Chakra l 150 / 200 Stamina
โข Strong Minds, Strong Hearts! | The Yamanaka's mental presence is able to greatly domineer others into submission. After successfully mind switching with the target, this mental presence lingers and will afflict the Mental Stress status equal in power and duration, to the Yamanaka's body rank ( D = Tier 1, C = Tier 2, B - A = Tier 3, S - S+ = Tier 4 ). This effect lasts for one post baseline but is increased by one for every other rank starting C rank Body, leading to a four post duration at S+. โข Inton Mastery | It can be said that every Yamanaka is gifted with the art of empathy as the mental plane is their domain, but there are a gifted few who are able to take this trait even further than that. Users with this PA are able to use Yamanaka Clan Telepathy passively apply to any sensory sensing jutsu currently in use by them. This cost neither an activation nor a cost and increases the max limit of the network to everyone within range of the sensory jutsu. Individuals within this boundaries that are subject to the Yamanaka being able to instill any one of the four basic emotions, fear, anger, sadness, or happiness within their minds without spending an activation to do so. At this stage this manipulation is trivial and largely only affects roleplay mechanics however, it may be upgraded with access to locked Yamanaka Emotive techniques. At any time an unwilling participant may expend an amount of chakra equal to the body rank of the Yamanaka to remove themselves from the effects of this field. If done in this way they become immune to emotional manipulation by the Yamanaka for three posts. Breaking free does not consume an activation from the target as this is not considered a kai. โข Shared Information | All information, sensory or otherwise, gathered by anyone who is a part of the telepathic network is shared with the group, not just the Yamanaka. This does require the Sensing Transmission technique from below. Additionally, the user is granted a passive field around themselves that offers that minor sensory capabilities ( limited to sensing the origin point of incoming jutsu ) but can ultimately upgraded if of the Infinite Perception discipline. This field is limited to five feet per body rank.
Activations: Telepathy with Mina
Yamanaka Clan Telepathy l Rank E This technique allows the user to telepathically communicate with other people. The user can also transfer this ability to another person by touching their forehead. The user can communicate with multiple people at once and the targets can also communicate with one another while the technique is in effect. This communicaton can be done with up to three individuals, not including the user. The technique ends naturally whenever the user so decides, or when the target loses consciousness. Distance does not matter so long as they are within sensory range when the initial connection is made. Unless having Inton Mastery, this connection can be refused at any time by paying the same amount of chakra as spent casting this technique.
tabThe young girlโs body slammed into the ground with enough force for her to bounce back up into the air. Mina was tough, but the hit that Masato gave her still hurt like a b***h. But the Genin definitely wasnโt down for the count. Not by a long shot. Mina grit her teeth while her body hung in the air for a precious few seconds and willed herself upright. The girl met Masatoโs clone with a face contorted with fierce determination and violent fury. Mina clenched a fist and cocked it back by her head. โYou wanted some more punch? Donโt blame me for what happens next!โ She yelled before she swung her fist down at the clone! The punch Mina delivered carried all of the force of her own strength, but also the power from the cloneโs own punch, delivered at an [A Rank plus bonuses] level of power! On a hit, the clone would most likely disappear. Either way Mina would hit the ground and fall into a basic combat stance with one arm protecting her at head level with the other pulled back to her side. She would quietly and intensely watch the other cones to see who was coming next. In the back of her mind, Mina was dimly aware of Inohachi asking her to calm down. The Genin tried her best to recover her temper but she could feel her blood boiling. Was this excitement? Was Mina havingโฆ fun with Taijutsu?
First Action: โฐ Absorb and Redirect | Rank A | Simple A tactic created for times when the opponent is too fast to dodge and to agile to strike back at. The user allows themselves to be stricken by a technique of the opponents. In unison, the user launches their own hard physical strike ( via this technique ) at A Rank. This A ranked strike harbors all the stat increases of the user's as well as the total stat increases the opponent's strike carried during its execution.
Second Action: โฐ Signature Stance | Rank C | Complex The user's left foot leads before them, toes pointed forward as the right foot is placed at a forty five degree angle in the rear at shoulder width apart. The user's left arm is raised, guarding the face from the front while the right arm is tucked to the side against the ribs, elbow pointed back with the fist aimed towards the target. Punches and upper body strikes executed from this stance gain a [1] point increase in strength per rank of the technique. In addition, the user's affected strikes from this position have a chakra projection of the striking point used in the technique sent flying forward five feet per rank, allowing striking techniques to be transmitted through long distances. This technique does not affect the size of the striking area, meaning that each projection is only the size of a fist, foot, elbow, ect
tab Chosuke couldn't help but smirk when the man commented on how he was tougher than he looked. "Heh. I'm just getting warmed up." he replied. The the man's next outburst, Chosuke's eyes narrowed with focus. He didn't even notice when Inohachi came up to him and lightly tapped him on the temple, connecting his mind to the network she was preparing to set up. It was time for the man's second wave of assault and he had Chosuke's full, undivided attention. This time he would be ready.
tab Seeing the man begin his advanced towards him, Chosuke steadied himself, preparing to take on whatever attacks the man had to throw at him. The first of the man's attacks was a simple headbutt against Chosuke's own head. Fortunately, Chosuke had been blessed with a rather thick skull. Rather than avoiding the attack, he chose to face the attack head on, literally, leaning into the attack to fully absorbing the impact. However, when it came to the man's second attack on him, Chosuke recognized that he would be unable to withstand the force of this attack if it hit, having already taken on a serious blow. Thus, he lowered himself further into his stance and put his full weight onto his forward foot, allowing his back foot to glide behind him. With this he was effectively able to pivot around the man's attack and without disrupting his stance.
tab From his new position, it was Chosuke's hope that he'd be able to grapple the man and put him into some form of submissive hold. However, it seemed that the man also planned to use Chosuke's repositioning to his advantage. With Chosuke out of the way, the man had full access to their back-line and took the opportunity to launch a strike at Inohachi, whom Chosuke just realized was right behind him. Seeing her fly through the air with a mighty gust, his eyes widened with horror. While they may have been family, she lacked the bloodline and build that made Chosuke as hearty and durable as he was. She was far more fragile and a hit like that was way more than she could handle. "Inohachi!" Chosuke cried out just as he body came crashing back down. He then watched as the man took aim at Shikarie next. Chosuke attempted to grab at him, but the man was too quick, easily avoiding his grasp as he distanced himself once more.
tab This was bad. Chosuke's one job as the group's tank was to serve as a shield for his team while they attacked safely from behind him, and so far, he had failed. It was unacceptable that this man should get any attacks past him. Rather than giving into despair though, such failure only fed the fiery fighting spirit that burned within him. If the man wanted to use hit and run tactics to avoid his grasp, then Chosuke would just have to extend his reach
tab Flooding his body with chakra, Chosuke's right arm would grow to a monstrous size, increasingly his reach by roughly 25 feet. With this, he'd reach out towards the man, attempting to trap him within his massive palm. If Inohachi wanted to invade the guy's mind, then it was Chosuke's job to hold him still for her.
๐ฑ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐ โข Gliding Step | Rank B | Simple The basic stance of the style which requires the user stand with their feet wide spread, similar to a horse stance with their center of gravity low, their hands raised in knife hand like forms. Techniques executed from this stance receive a [1] point increase to agility for the duration of the technique. In addition, should the user be in this stance when the target attempts a physical blow, the user may shift their position, pivoting around the target to resume the same stance. This action costs stamina in the amount of the technique dodged in this manner but requires no activation. โข Partial Multi-size Technique [ Bubun Baika no Jutsu ] | Rank A | Spiritual The user channels chakra into a single limb of their choosing, expanding it's length five feet per rank of the technique, increasing the girth of the limb proportionately. At E Rank, the limb's weight is equivalent to the user's natural body weight and doubles that each rank above that. The user is able to move the limb normally without drawback. The user may utilize this limb for any taijutsu or basic combat art technique for the current post and may be sustained for two ranks below it's casted cost every two posts if desired. โข Basic Combat: Grapple | Rank A | Simple Chosuke attempts to grab Masato within his massive hand.
๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ ๐ผ๐๐๐ โข
๐ท๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐๐๐๐ โข Berserker: Your hardened body naturally is as protective as Heavy Tier armor without its drawbacks. Degradation of the user's natural defenses applies in the same manner as armor. Once depleted, any damage the user takes, no matter the rank of damage applied increases the user's active strength and speed mildly for two posts. Should the user take additional damage before the end of the second post, the increase stacks, refreshing it's active time.

Masato, having his massive exertion of chakra through the Hyuuga's Mountain crusher negated by Kotori's quick thinking he smirked after landing. His mind had rolled back to the days from when they had just met, the young girl desperate to train under Masato, wanting to harness that monstrous power he demonstrated to deflect the Meteor over the Whirlpool Islands. His eyes widened as they would recognize the changes her body was undergoing. " I see!" His laugh became infectious as he roared in excitement, happily welcoming the challenge of his first pupil, the young Kotori who had proven her indomitable spirit. This pupil stood before him to show him the fruits of her labor. Masato's flesh darkened it's red tint as the remainder of the spinal limiters were released, then the abdomen and stomach's gate, the Gate of View. Green chakra would ignite and create a nearly flame like appearance around the Kyuubi host as his pupil would dart in behind the massive wave of her clone's mountain crusher techniques launched at him. His crimson sharingan augmented with the pupil slit of Kurama as he replied to his student's barrage with his own. Relying on the firing pattern training he would chain a string of taijutsu attacks at the student in order to acknowledge her strength with his own. As Masato's fists rose to meet his center one would be opened , fingers sinced tightly like claws as they faced Masato's body. The secondary hand would impact the open palm of the first hand time after time to create five waves of sheer force. After the last wave of force was created, Masato's fingers would combine on both hands to form a singular hand sign. The thumbs faced upward as the index and middle fingers intertwined, the ring and pinky fingers touching tips spread apart from the other conjoined fingers. This seal would shape the wave of force to resemble Kurama's face and upper torso. Each of these five would match this appearance. Holding this sign, two of the Kurama projections would rush forward and meet Kotori's Mountain Crushers. Each embodiment of Kurama launched would snap onto the Mountain crusher's wave, snapping their jaws upon it as both sets of attacks were extinguished in the collision. As the force was dispersed, Kotori would blaze through the opening made as three of these pressurized Kurama again would form and collide directly upon Kotori this time. The shock wave caused by the three of them would blast back everyone within a one hundred and fifty foot radius around Kotori's location. This shock wave would cause the attendants of the Senshichojo to brace themselves, even hiding behind the courtyard's walls to survive being tossed away. The students that were practicing with the clones of Masato would also suffer these harsh knock back effects. Dirt and debris would coat the area for several moments before it would settle. The man would jump back, distancing himself from the damage he'd done to the surrounding area. Roughly at that time, a messenger bird would be spotted, landing daintily upon his shoulder. Masato had to assume it was waiting for the destruction to end. He would take it's message and begin to read while the other's continued to fight....
The clone that faced Mina would watch carefully as she bounced, being sure not to miss the slightest detail. ' her movements....this is intentional...' he thought as she lingered just a bit too long. His sharingan began to spin rapidly as it acted to record, copy and ingrain the technique being used upon him into his memory. He was impressed. She had eaten his attack...and her fist now began to move to strike him back with all the force he had just delivered. The clone nodded in acceptance just as it exploded in a violent poof of defeat.
The remaining Masato shadow clone and the original would at the same time feel the memories of the defeated one washing over them. Instantly they would both know that Mina had passed his trial. Chosuke had done well to evade Masato's barrage upon him while Inohachi had not fared quite the same. Additionally, Chosuke's Gliding Step was not unseen by the copying eye. Finally, as he was upon his closing moment at Shikarie he would feel his momentum halt. "oh?" he said aloud as he looked down to notice the shadow latched unto his. He nodded, accepting what had happened. Still, the man was not ready to surrender to the children just yet. A surge of stamina was expended as he overwhelmed the force of the grappling hold caused by the shadow. "Orraahhh!" he roared in triumph, just to have it silenced as the hand of Chosuke grasped him restraining him once more. He glanced back to the student who had made the desperate attempt to stop Masato at the last second. His timing combined with the skills of his teammates had secured him once more. Masato nodded, agknowledging his valiant efforts and determination. " Well done! Chosuke, Shikare, Inohachi." with that the clone was dismissed, returning the spotlight to Masato's true form.
Having dismissed his two clones and entangled in the children's training would have paused to read the note from the messanger bird. Upon completely digesting it's information Masato would dismiss his Sixth gate and cup his hands over his mouth. " Yo! Kiddos, Scamp, get over here. " He would wait until the children gathered around to speak again. " Not too bad, everyone. Some of you are obviously not close quarters fighters....but you make up for it with your teamwork...your reasoning and strategic planning. " His eyes turned to Shikare and Inohachi, knowing they were not his physical fighters but that each had their merits. " Now. Kotori! Mire! Chosuke! You're all packing some serious physical power! Very impressive. Especially you Kotori, you've grown exponentially since we took back the forests to build Konohagakure. Our training sessions will have to be private going forward. Can't divide my attention with you in the room." He cleared his throat, letting the praise sink into each of them. " The hawk that just arrived announced the Chuunin Exam's opening ceremony starting soon. Each of you are to head there now. Remember where each strength and each weakness you have is and do not forget them. I'll be watching...and judging the combat to come." With the stare of his right eye the Kamui portal would open once more, letting his students pass through to the Exams~

Masato was getting closer and closer. She would be lying if she wasn't getting slightly nervous. But she knew that if she got too nervous it could affect Inohachi due to their telepathy connection. Shikarie prepared herself incase her plan didn't work. Lucky for it her, it did. Masato had stopped in his tracks, and with an audible "oh" she knew she had got him. She could feel that the shadow had successfully made its connection, a pretty sturdy one too. That moment of relief was soon taken away when she could feel him fighting it off."Damn it." She muttered to herself. If it wasn't for Chosuke coming in with the assist she would have lose him for sure."Perfect timing Chosuke." Masato seemed pleased as well. He nodded to the trio and congratulated them on a job well done before poofing away in a cloud of smoke. As much as she didn't want to admit it, the Ino-Shika-Cho formation works for a reason. With a deep inhale Shikarie let out a huge sigh of relief."That was too stressful. I didn't actually think he was going to go all out like that." Even then, she knew he was holding back. If he really did want to go 100% in this sparring match of theirs, they wouldn't stand a chance. Turning to look at the others it seemed they all managed to do their part as well and the other closed disappeared as well. It was then that the original yelled for the group to huddle back up. Doing as she was told she made her way over to the man. He was quick to point out some of the weaknesses of the nonclose combat fighters, aka Shikarie and Inohachi. Obviously, he was looked at them when he said it. But, she did have to give him credit because he did say they made up for in teamwork and strategic planning. He then went on to announce that the Chunnin Exams opening ceremony had started and he wanted them all to attend. Now she was nervous. Shikarie wasn't even sure if she wanted to participate. It just seemed like the way to much trouble. Plus, as Masato already pointed out, she's not really the brawling type. He even told them he would be watching and judging the group."Oh great. That's exactly that I needed."she complained. Masato would open another portal and the group would exit the area.
