Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yuichi Shizen

As both girls mentioned for him to come join in their little match Yuichi, who had been silently meditating, stood up. He could still feel the drain, he had very little chakra left, but he was sure he had enough to use his static pulse a few times in the match. He would have to show it to his comrades anyway so they would know about it. It just wouldnt be as strong as normal.

Walking over to the two girls he cracked his knuckles shaking his hands out to loosen up his hands and arms. Though he was sure he looked dumb it was still effective. He could see Kori eying them both, robably measuring them, a wise decision, one he himself was doing to. His hieght gave him a reach advantage, but how that would fair against each fighting style would be up to the person. Not to mention Kori was far less tired then himself and from the looks of it yuzuki was in the same boat as him giving her a slight advantage in that department.

He would just have to adapt as the fighting started. As kori asked who was first he shook his head, "Our best bet would be to fight each other all at once, that way we can also assess each persons ability to track and combat multiple enemies at once." he said calmly. His attitude seemed to have changed slightly from earlier, it was obvious this wasn't advice this time. It was more of a fact.

Looking between Kori and Yuzuki he sighed before jumping back, his fists raised. He would wait for now and try to recouperate. He had his reach but tht was about it at the moment. He didn't want to show too much until he could show everything. So for now not bouncing seemed like a great way to rest.

Kori shrugged when Yuichi suggested they all fight each other at one time. This would both hinder and improve her since she had two people she knew hardly anything about to fight, but she could improve on her own abilites at the same time and figure out some future strategies with her teammates.
"Ok then. Sounds good to me." She locked her gaze on Yuichi first since Yuzuki still seemed to be tired after her training. Her hands flipped through a few quick seals and she gathered her chakra in her belly before inhaling a breath and blasting out a stream of water. She hit the area in front of her first then turned her head to aim for the boy. The water wasn't very strong, but there was quite a bit and if he was hit he would be quickly drenched and blinded by the splash.
Since they weren't on the water anymore she'd have to make her own water source first and foremost. At the same time if she could get the boy wet, his lightning jutsu would become a danger to himself as well.

.....oh wait, that was just my breath.

So that's the way they wanted to play was it??
Yuzuki pulled herself out of the fray -more or less- and being the proper Genjutsu lady that she was, was more than willing to let the two heavy weights duke it out between the two of them. That wasn't to say that she wasn't going to participate; oh no. She was just going to do things a little differently was all. It was a pity though, she was looking forwards to her taijutsu training... but then again, an all out brawl had its advantages too. Yuzuki flicked her wrist and snapped her hands back, freeing her fingers of the bladed talons that graced them before making a flurry of hand signs.
"Nightterror Jutsu."

Welcome to your nightmares~!
The area surrounding the two became shadowed, as though there was a heavy cloud the blocked the sunlight before the world was washed in a deep red haze. The sounds of wet suckling and faint pops could be heard echoing around them in an eerie silence that had fallen over the area. Shadows darted around the corners of Yuichi and Kori's vision as light, childish giggling was heard off in the distance, behind Yuichi and to his left, if Kori would venture a look in the direction she would see a small figure in white walk from behind one stone to another, disappearing from sight. After a few minutes after the giggle the ground underneith them started to have a heavy, patterned rumble as though it possessed a heart, and the two were about to do battle on top of it. The trees that were in the area started to pop again, a little louder this time, blood started to seep through the splits in the bark until finally a wet bursting came from one of its sides, a ghoulish, disfigured humaniod pushed the tree trunk appart and bellowed as its upper torso came into contact with the staling, heavy air of the mountains.
At the sounds of the bellowing arms burst through the ground, some were skeletonized hands that tried to grab and slash with worn, dirty clawed phalanges, others that came through the earth still had decaying meat desperatly clinging onto warped and bloated muscles. The vile stench of decay assaulted the senses as the figures the arms belonged to continued to pull themselves up from their earthy resting place.

Yuichi Shizen

As yuichi moved to take on Kori everything suddenly grew dark and things basically went straight into the horror film category. He wasn't sure how but this was obviously Yuzuki's doing. He stopped not wanting to get to close to kori until he had gotten rid of the jutsu, which lucky for him would be a fairly simple feet.

Holding up one hand he focused his chakra for a moment and soon after felt the genjutsu subside. "Kai!" he said releasing the genjutsu. Or at least it should have... The genjutsu held fast. As he finished though he found another blast of water needles heading toward him, he had to move out of the way but he was still tired he wouldn't be able to dodge them all, he just had to choose where they hit...

Taking off his jacket he jumped back as far as he could swinging his jacket to obsorb as many of the needles as it could, one of two catching his thighs but for the most part he came out unharmed, he would probably have a few bruises on his thigh. A few cuts even appeared on his pant legs. He dropped his jacket on the stone ground rolling his shoulders for a moment. He had to think, had to find a way to get close to these two, they both fought medium to long range so far. Kori obviously was best at ninjutsu and Yuzuki had already shown she knew how to use at least one genjutsu. Which was bad, he had no ranged jutsu so he would have to find a way to close the gap... or dodge... which would expend more energy. The genjutsu dispelled fully when the needles hit his legs luckily so that wasn't an issue anymore. But what to do...

The water she had spit out covered a pretty large area but it wasn't a large enough area to hit either of the two girls, who could easily hit him still while he couldn;t hit them... "just great..." he said with a sigh. He couldn't use the pulse charge yet and his static pulse would be useless unless he could get one of the girls on the water or in close. He was at a complete disadvantage, he only had maybe thirty shuriken with him at the moment and his two trenchknives so he was ill equiped for long range to begin with. Not to mention his exhaustion and now the stinging on his legs from the water needles.

He had to find a way to close the gap... Or maybe he could find a way to bring the shock to them directly instead. Reaching behind him he pulled a shuriken from his pouch. Then several more with his other hand. Using the training he had done earlier he focused a large amount of chakra to his hand creating a powerful charge of eletricity in the shurikan. Then bringing his hads in to his body he threw them all at once aiming for kori their were only about five in total so it wasn't a devestating offensive but it would stop him from getting assaulted by more needles.

However apperently it wasn't a strong enough charge as the one he had charged with electricity quickly lost its charge. Though it was still a hail of shuriken it wouldnt have the desired effect. He would have to try again later when his chakra was in a better state. Just the charge he had put on that one shuriken exhausted him. He could feel his body becoming heavier by the second.

However he had no time to lose jumping back he looked around, his trench knives ready, he had to find yuzuki. She probably would have moved since casting her genjutsu, maybe even prepared a trap of some kind but what, and where, he had to figure those out first.

He tilted his trench knives so he could check behind him for any incoming attacks then checked with his own eyes to be sure, he wished he had a nice big rock or somethig to hide behind but the ara they were in was flat and clear of most debris. He thought about possibly making a static clone to fight back to back with. However he didn't have the chakra for something like that.

He had to come up with something else, some way he would know she was coming while being able to watch kori. However he couldn't think of any, the only way he could think of was to put the water to his back, however if he did that kori could use it to strike at him without him knowing. He would have to find something else.

What was there that he could do though? Well i don't exactly have alot of choices in the matter, I should hold off for a bit longer and just wait... Yuzuki has to move eventually and as long as I can keep an eye on kori I shouldn't have to worry too much about any more surprise water attacks like the last one. And since im out of the genjutsu she'll either target kori whos distracted or me because shes distracted... grand so that gets me nowhere either. he thought to himself looking around the area for any sign of the shorter girl. He kept himself standing on the balls of his feet, his breath heavy and his arms raised ready to move at the slightest sound or sight of movement.

He could hear his heart beating in his ears, racing from the battle. Witht the three of them on the same team they would have a solid mix of nin, tai, and genjutsu. And then he noticed something a small chuckle escaping him, "hey we all have blue hair!" he laughed. Maybe they could come up with some kind of cool nick name for their team. Maybe it could be something scary... wait this wasn't the time he had to focus on the fight. Had to find yuzuki... or a rock to place his back to.

❋Kori Shirayuki ❋

A cold breeze just rolled in.....

Kori was really hating life right now. She gripped her weapons tightly, not wanting them to change their forms either. Her needles transformation was irrelevant, but from the results of it, she was sure she was in a genjutsu now. She had hit numerous people with her needles before and never had they done that bad of damage. Worse, she had to listen as the horde of........things......tore and ripped poor Yuichi apart. She wasn't sure what had actually befallen him, but she figured it probably wasn't a good idea to be caught by the undead that was now throwing their weight toward Kori.
She hopped back again away and out of reach of the horde's outstretched arms. I really hope Yuzuki finishes with Yuichi quickly........This is going to get annoying really quick., she thought to herself as she continued to avoid the seemingly hungry flesh eaters.

.....oh wait, that was just my breath.

Yuichi was met with silence, the kunai that he threw was swollowed by the bush. Yuzuki was further in the forest, now that she was sure that Kori wasn't a threat and that Yuichi was taking the bait, she could finish her scheme, she wasn't sure if it would work but it was more than work a try. She made sure that this one was a little better hidden, much more so than the other ones. Yuichi's caution was working more to her advantage then he might think. She had finished the rest of her final trap, all she needed was the trap. Yuzuki started to make her way towards where Yuichi was. She readied her own shuriken and keep him at an arms length while she positioned for her advantage. All her traps might be simple, but even simplicity could prove to her advantage. When she saw Yuichi, she pulled herself behind a tree, she took a second to plan her escape, she lept from her location and launched her shuriken towards him, it was more to get his attention, though if she managed to unexpectedly wound him then it was a bonus, she made her way behind another tree. She needed to keep him at bay, just for a while longer. Lead him away, see how well he could plan ahead and how well he adapted to his enviroment.

Welcome to your nightmares~!
As Kori was dodging her way through the reaching claws and the foul creatures behind them. When Kori gave way more ground, more arms burst up from the ground, tried to grab and slash at her calves before pulling themselves back into the earth once more. From behind her there was a heavy popping sound and the coppery smell of blood filled the air, after that the smell of... fresh air? If Kori risked a look back she would see that there was an opening in the trees, they had torn themselves from their roots and left their gory stumps behind as they made way to what looked like a paradise of a forest compaired to the horrific images that surrounded her. The horde continued to approach her. It was an opening for Kori, perhaps it was only going to lead her further into madness, or perhaps it was an opening out of pity. Maybe the whole thing was a trap. Either way, it was her choice, try and fight off the horde, dodging and defending or going into the forest where the unknown was waiting for her.

Yuichi Shizen

Yuichi was less then surprised to find the girl no longer in the bush. However he was surprised to find no traps waiting for him either. One would expect there to be a trap where she had been to catch the attacker off guard. At the same time though it wasn't something that really happened too often.

Hearing a whistling threw the air he turned swinging his tranch knife to counter the shuriken. The shurikan ricocheting upwards wher he caught it easily. He couldn't waste things like this he was already down by five shuriken as it were. Leaving him with only twenty five remaining. It seemed yuzuki excelled at hit and run tactics. Something he had never really been a fan of. He prefered head to head fighting.

He had seen her run off in one direction so it was obvious which way she was going, the question was weather or not he wanted to follow. "Common sense says not to follow her because she's obviously leading me into a trap of some kind... but if i don't go along I could never see these traps and how she plans for them to work... and then it will be harder to coordinate later." he said to himself.

Well for now he would have to play along. But first maybe he could figure out the trick to this jutsu. He couldn't give it a small amount but he couldn't take the time to focus a large amount. He would have to charge it before entering a fight. He only had enough chakra left to try it one or two more times maybe. So he would have to make them count.

Closing his eyes he focused on the shuriken. Perhaps he was going about it all wrong. Instead of just shoving chakra into the space that was the shuriken, like he had been doing. Perhaps the key to his problem lay in that. What if instead of pushing in chakra he simply went about it a diferent way. Like making the shurikan part of the circuit. It would allow for larger ammounts of chakra to run through it at one time. Then all he would have to do is change it to lightning nature chakra before he threw it. It was worth a shot at least.

So extending a flow of chakra ffrom his for finger around the center of the shuriken he let it flow into the shuriken and then back in through his thumb. It was simple enough, nothing he hadn't done before to a smaller degree. Now for the tricky part, changing it to lightning nature chakra.

Concentrating he changed the chakra to lightning nature chakra. Opening his eyes he noticed the center glowing slightly. Sparks lept through the tiny hole in the shuriken. Now the question was whether or not it would work. He could already tell it had a strong charge, which was what he wanted but was it strong enough? He would have to find out the hard way. For now he let it return to just normal chakra.

Turning to the direction Yuzuki had run off to he sighed. "Guess theres only one option so far. Time to see what shes got hidden for me, oh man this isn't going to be pleasant in the least." he whined. Then looking aaround he took off after Yuzuki making sure to take the same path she had taken since it more then likely led to a trap but didn't have any.
