Welcome to Gaia! ::

He nodded nonchalantly. "Alright." Seph made his way towards the lake, and as if it were solid ground, stepped upon the water, making his way out to the center. There were soft ripples around his feet. "Are you sure you want to fight here? This terrain could suppress some of your abilities, Tut."

He looked around, then inhaled. That was strange. A Coy swam lazily past. A Giant Coy. He looked over to Tutsumi. This was childish, but interesting. An underwater battle. When would they ever encounter this? Probably never, but to be faced with it now was better than to be faced against it when the opponent was actually trying to hurt him. He took a step back. He was prepared for the slower reaction time, and thus increased the speed at which to move. His movements seemed to flow naturally, normally underwater. The pressure at this depth, however, was unusual. He wasn't yet used to it. He looked to Tut.

"Alright, you have your Underwater Arena. Are you ready, my friend?"

Seph rolled his neck some, then slid his foot backward. The mud rolled over it, and he tested it, making sure he could get free of it. His right hand extended forward, bent slightly at the elbow, and pointed at an angle upward. His left was bent backward, his hand at his chest, fingers in a tiger-claw-like position. His eyes narrowed a bit. Fortunately, Lake Water was Clear Water.

Seph remained perfectly still in the cloudy water. His neck didn't crane to see, his body didn't flinch. But Tut had just given him a good idea. Using the water as an extention of yourself was a good tactic.

(((OK... anyways... uhmm... I'll try to do something o.o; ))

Fenris had watched the event last night, she didn't want to intrude and ruin the conversation, She was wondering why Neko was not responding, having not knowing what Tamashii was. Shesoon left te room as they all left, the one named Tutsumi had confused her, and creeped her out a it at his state.

Seph's body was perfectly still. The veins around his eyes signifying that he had already silently conjoured Byakougan. The current was changing, but not on it's own. It was being distorted by Chakra. He rose his hands into the air, then swiftly shot his elbow's backward. The force behind the movement shot behind him, changing the chakra-controlled current. He ducked found a branch locked into the muddy ground, locked his foot in, and pulled himself down swiftly, the two arms ahead of him speeding over his head. He shot forward, the special toe-grips of his shoes locking into whatever solidness he could find. He was fast. Unusually fast for being underwater. He could see everything Tut was doing. Chakra didn't lie.

Seph's eyes widened, then narrowed. He grinned some. Water was nothing. He froze, the water-leg nailing him in the ankle. He spun some and slowly landed on a stone. He dug his toe into the stone. This arena was too unfair. Even if he could still use Ho Techniques, they would do him no good here. He had to get out of the Water. He shot his hand forward, changing the current as fast as possible. He looked up and frowned. This was bad. Then he grinned, jumping to a fish. He pulled at the scales, forcing it to change direction out of pain. Straight up.
