Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seph's eyes widened in surprise and confusion, took a few step backs, then at the last second, grinned. His hand shot up, grabbing Tut's fist. "I don't have to see Chakra if I don't want to, Tutsumi." He squeezed, then pulled Tut into him swiftly, also pulling himself towards Tut, a knee heading straight for Tut's stomach.

Perfect. Seph gripped Tutsumi's fist tighter, and when the wall of chakra hit him, he took Tut with him. He caught himself with his back foot and turned swiftly. He slammed his foot into the ground, kicking up a massive amount of rock and dust. He took hold of Tut's elbow and lifted him straight into the air, over his shoulder, and slammed him head-first into the ground. There was a soft whisper and a strange, soft eruption-like sound.

Seph raised an eyebrow at this, then shook his head. The rock quickly began turning red, then cracked violently. The temperature of the rock had shot up to well over three-thousand degrees, and the rapid change shattered the rock. This was not a temperature Seph was used to though. There would be large burns on his legs, but it did free him. He took a few steps back out of the dust, crossing his arms.

Seph swept his hand across the sky, a wall of fire catching the spikes and burning them before they could reach him. He sighed some, throwing out a few handseals. The ground beneath Tut began rumbling. In a few seconds, magma would erupt from the ground underneath Tut..

Seph, in a final desperate attempt to free himself, thrust his hands into the air. A column of super-heated magma shot from the ground around him, cutting through the earth around him like a hot knife through butter. He leapt out of the death-pit and threw three Kunai in Tut's direction. There were tags tied to the ends.

It was too bad that shards of glass only worked after the glass was cooled. And he wasn't giving it time to cool. He would have more burned, but that was a small price to pay. As Tut made no attempt to stop the tagged kunai, they landed firmly in the sides of Tut's little 'foxhole.' Giving him no time to react, the tags immediately exploded. He was the Ho Shojiki and with that came a resistance to fire, but not the shockwave. That explosion would flip a tank, so even if he were to cover himself in earth, the reverberation should blow his eardrums and leave his bones and muscles nearly un-useable. Earth, like water, would only increase the effect of the shockwave.

Seph took a deep breath. No problem. He shot his hands out, but not in effort to block the tunnel of wind. He smirked. There was a little bit -too- much moisture in that tunnel. He dropped the wall of magma to keep it from hardening around him, and shot a bolt of rai into the wind. Because of the moisture in the air, the power of the initially non-lethal bolt of rai strengthened. Still under his control, he fired the lightning bolt into Tut's hole. Uneffected by wind, and powerful enough to create a large crater in solid earth..
