TNA: The Grand Finale

As Youta and Altar closed in, Aqua hung back and began to preform hand signs. Quickly, he would reach to his shuriken holster with his left hand, removing a shuriken and throwing it at Aqua’s left hand, before he could finish his hand seals. As he did this, he activated his byakugan to improve his aim. The shuriken would be flying at speeds too high for any of the genin to track. Haru was careful to angle the shuriken so that if it made contact, they wouldn’t just cut the boy’s hands clean off. If it made contact, it would cut deep into his tendons, and partially into the knuckles, making it incredibly painful to create hand signs using that hand.
 
   
That done, his attention was turned to Youta. She was now moving at her full speed towards him, which meant it would be difficult for her to maneuver now that she had committed to the full speed. As she neared him, he saw her muscles tighten as she prepared to draw her blade. Impulsively, he brought up his right hand and thrust it out at her just as her blade began to clear the sheathe. This would fire a blast of air from his hand, aimed at Youta. The power of the blast would likely send her flying back, away from him. Since she was running at top speed, and already attempting an attack, thus unable to use her hands, it was unlikely she could dodge the blast. After making the blast, he would reassume his casual stance, assuming Youta was hit by the blast.

In the viewing area, Bar cheered for the mysterious ANBU of whom Bar had no reason to know the identity. "YEAH! KICK THEIR ASSES BACK TO THE ACADEMY!"

[Post is now not needed, continue as normal.]

Altar ignored Takeo's heroics in the stands and focused on the fight at hand. He was about to launch an attack, when he heard something whiz through the air. He didn't bother taking a look towards the noise, as he didn't want to turn his back on his opponent, especially without knowing his capabilities. So, with that, Altar proceeded forward, a little faster now, moving slightly from side to side. This way, if he needed to dodge anything, it would make it slightly easier.

And then it happened. Altar saw an opening. Sure, not a great one, but it was enough. The ANBU had extended his hand, pre-occupied with Youta. Seeing as Altar had been not far behind her, around 5 meters behind her, and jarred to the right side, that gave him ample opportunity. 

Altar would extend his hand slightly and form a strand of lightning, extending out to a dog made of the same element. The dog would charge at the ANBU at a speed of 60, and upon collision would explode knock him back, at least. After doing this, Altar would jump back a bit, hoping to regroup with his makeshift team.

Stamina: 155/200

Aqua saw the anbu move to his weapon pouch; this proved to Aqua that he didn't seal weapons to make it easier to access. This didn't rule out the ninja wasn't a fuininjutsu user but revealed that information.

Aqua watched the Anbu throw the weapon, barely able to see and react to that movement. The way he was aiming was not towards the other two ninja but towards himself. It was so fast that Aqua continued weaving, barely able to think about it.

Haru wrote:
...throwing it at Aqua’s left hand, before he could finish his hand seals1

The Anbu threw the shuriken before Aqua would finish with his handseals, the clone hand seal to be exact; Rain would begin to fall filled with Aqua's chakra, allowing him to sense his opponent, his allies, and all the ninja in the arena. The time and distance the shuriken to took to get to Aqua gave him just enough time to finish the clone hand seal.

The shuriken he threw was aimed for his hands; but Aqua's Thunderfury, which was 1 meter away from Aqua as he began to weave hand signs, would be angled so that it would deflect it. The shuriken would hit the blades' dead center. The weapon did not pierce the blade and bounced off; but the impact from the bullet-like shuriken would cause Thunderfury to travel back to Aqua. Aqua's control of Thunderfury would only slow it down, in moments the blunt side of the dagger's two blades would impact his hand, bruising his right hand at the wrist area, perhaps even spraining it so that putting weight on it might prove difficult. The damage was not as severe as if the shuriken would just hit his hand, but still scary to think how powerful this ninja was.

This led to the shadow clones creation, both not getting hit by the shuriken and standing 1 meter in the front and to the right side of Aqua. [Clone in Front is Clone 1, Clone on the side in Clone Two]

Once created, the three immediately ran as fast as they could about 20 meters in. Aqua would have Doomhammer and Thunderfury float 2 inches beside Aqua's hands as he wove a series of 22 hand signs.

Clone two would attempt to form the snake hand seal and hold it for a bit as they ran.

Clone One would just run until they reached their destination. They were still a long ways away from the action.

There was little time for Youta to respond properly. After shooting out a shuriken at Aqua, something the girl could not have helped, he turned to her and hand motion clearly indicating some sort of attack. Being already mid-motion herself, this made it very difficult to avoid, his timing was excellent. Nevertheless, Youta managed to change her last step, going slightly to her left, in turn making the attack hit her right side and more like blow her to her left than blow her away.

Of course, her initial attack was doomed now, but with a quick roll when she got to the ground, the girl was once again on her feet and a few meters from the ANBU. She decided to make a flanking attempt and hit his back with the blade if allowed.

[Sorry for the wait]

Haru watched the shuriken jar the weapon floating by aqua, sending it flying at him, not damaging him particularly badly, but then again, why would he want to end this fight early? Admittedly, he found Youta’s reaction to the vacuum palm quite satisfying. She knew enough to not take the collision head on, but couldn’t quite dodge it. He quite enjoyed ragdolling people with that technique, and it was really a shame he couldn’t use it multiple times in quick succession. That would be totally awesome.
 
Focusing back to the fight, Haru would see that Altar had tried to take advantage of his focus being put on Youta when his right hand was extended. Unfortunately for Altar, there were a few flaws in his plan. Firstly, Haru was ambidextrous, meaning the right hand being in use offered no real disadvantage as far as coordination went. Secondly, he had moved to the right, which was Haru’s left, and that was the hand that Haru had free. Haru thought for a moment. He thought he could take this blast, his armor was certainly strong enough.
 
He would step forward, reinforcing his footing as the jutsu collided with his body, sliding harmlessly off both his armor, not even reaching his head, making the barrier headband’s effect unnecessary for this situation. His footing remained sound due to his high strength, and he was pretty much spared the blast. As Altar jumped back, he used his left hand to draw two shuriken, stringing them up with three meters of wire, and throwing both of them at Altar at the same time, aimed for his legs. As they flew through the air, they would separate, so that there was one on either side of him. He would tone down the force of the throw so that Altar could actually survive it without getting chopped in two, of course.
 
It seemed that Youta had decided to make an attempt at a flanking maneuver, aiming a sword strike at his back. He knew firsthand she didn’t have enough force behind her strike to pierce his armor, so no technique was necessary to block this strike. Youta had flanked around his right side, or her left, as Haru made his attack on Altar. This gave him freedom to use more momentum, turning into the strike and placing his palms on the bottom of the blade, attempting to twist it so that he was holding the flat side of the blade, at the same time stopping the movement of the blade. If he was unable to twist the blade, his armor would begin to show signs of wear and tear.
 
At this point, Haru was facing Youta, although he was keeping an eye on the other two with the byakugan, and he was honestly moving too fast for the two to reasonably keep up with, let alone react to. Altar being a close threat, Haru kept special attention on him, but the boy would still have at least five meters to cross to get to him, and he likely couldn’t contend with Haru’s speed. These actions would likely be completed before the boy could reach him.
 
Haru’s left foot was closest to Youta, his body perpendicular to hers. The blade rested in her right hand. Haru would lift the blade with his left hand, reaching towards her with his right. He would attempt to grab her firmly by the shoulder, (Not hard enough to cause injury, but hard enough to prevent losing his grip.) before twisting to his right, releasing both the girl from his grip, while maintaining a firm hold on the blade at the same time, hurling her at the real aqua, while keeping her blade in his hand at the same time, disarming her.
 
Haru had a pretty good idea of what jutsu Aqua was using, the handseals were a dead giveaway. All of this would happen at speeds just within Youta’s reaction speed, too fast for her to put up any real defense against. Haru would tone down the force of his throw so that Youta would only have a few bruises to show for her troubles. As for Aqua, he would have to move his weapons if he wanted to avoid keeping Youta from getting injured by them, particularly the blade. If the impact didn’t disrupt his hand signs, that surely would.
 
That left Aqua’s clones. One of them was preparing a snake seal, and Haru knew pretty well what was about to happen. He knew the boy was a Senju, after all, as he had read up on the two combatants he knew little about before the fight (Those two being Aqua and Goon.)
 
Part of him wanted to allow the boy to use that technique, to see what he was capable of, however, he wasn’t going to make it easy on these three. Haru was aware that he couldn’t simply pierce Aqua’s armor, and these clones would be just as difficult to kill. One up side, however, was that he didn’t have to hold back to avoid killing the clones. The force he had thrown the shuriken at had been enough to knock Aqua’s weapons back at him, so he would probably be able to damage the armor with projectiles. He’d kill him with bug bites.
 
Since clone two was the only of the two to be preforming hand signs, Haru would attack that one first. Haru would take hold of Youta’s blade by the grip, in his right hand. As he did this, his armor would regenerate from the damage done by Youta, if any was done. At this point, Haru would take another four kunai from his belt in his left hand, holding them between his fingers. He would target Clone Two (The one making the snake seal,) who luckily had both of his weapons at his left and right, floating at 1 meter away from him on either side, meaning Haru's aim was clear of obstacles this time. After making sure he had a clear target, Haru attacked, throwing one of the kunai at the clone faster then he could possibly track, aimed for his heart. While the blade was not sharp enough to pierce the armor, the force of the throw would create a large chink in it, giving Haru a good target for the blade. He would throw Shigure at the weak point in the armor, which would, hopefully, pierce through, destroying the clone before it could complete its jutsu.
 
That left Clone One, and Haru figured he wouldn’t be getting Youta’s sword back fast enough to deal with him before he got in close. This clone had his weapons at his left ad right side, one meter away, meaning Haru still did not have to worry about his projectiles being deflected again. Lucky break, his aim was once again clear of obstacles. He began to throw the kunai in his left hand, and at the same time, drawing four more kunai from his belt with his now free right hand.
 
The first Kunai would strike the armor in front of the heart, making a chink similar to the first one he had made on the other clone. The second kunai would widen the chink, making it much more noticeable. The third and would make the chink into a much broader weak point. At this point, Haru had gotten the other four kunai he had reached for, so he threw one final kunai at the chink, which would hopefully pierce it at last, striking and killing the clone.
 
God damn, he’s hard to kill Haru thought.
 
(For convenience, I’m gonna try and sum up the stats I used against you guys here:
 
Altar: My armor has 100 health, your jutsu has 50 power. The armor can withstand the hit, and my strength is 75, which means I can keep my footing pretty easily against that attack.
 
The Shuriken being thrown are toned down to around 60 speed
 
Youta: Going full stats on this one for the most part. My speed is at 105 to your 55, which is a 50 stat difference. I don’t think you can dodge this, as a 30 speed difference in the stat rules gives “Just barely enough time to react”
 
The health of my armor is 100, against your 138 sharpness. That’s enough to damage it, but not cut it. Because my armor regenerates, the damage is repaired later (Around the time I grab the kunai, I think)
 
The force of the throw is toned down to 40.
 
Aqua: Sorry man, I really hate armor! XD. So Youta’s sword has 120 sharpness, but because I have no weaponry spec, it gets toned down to 100 sharpness. My throwing speed boosts it to 145, just low enough not to totally penetrate your clone’s armor. I’m thinking a blunt force of 130 from the kunai would damage it enough for the sword to finish the job.
 
As for clone one, I figured that 130 power x4 attacks would be enough to pierce the armor, since it’s clearly enough to damage it.
 
And for Youta being thrown at you, since you have 22 hand signs to do, which are being made at 50 speed, while she moves at you at 40 speed, I figure her colliding with you or you making adjustments to avoid her being hit would throw off your concentration, probably disrupting your hand signs, since you’ll need to catch her to stop her from getting injured.
 
 
   
If any of you need to discuss something, you all have my skype)

As Altar jumped back, he saw two things. One, his jutsu did absolutely nothing. It slid off him like it was air. That bothered him somewhat. The next thing he saw was a flurry of movement between Youta and the ANBU. He needed to take advantage of his pre-occupation with Youta somehow. However, he noticed two shurikens coming at him from, and in between them shined a small glint of light. Altar guessed it was a wire of some sort, probably meant to tangle his legs or take him off balance. Well, he couldn't allow that to happen, now could he?

Whilst the pair of Youta and the ANBU were moving amongst each other, Altar took the opportunity and took action. Altar did what he could to land prematurely around 10 meters from the ANBU. Altar would dash to the his left, and he would then form a ram handseal, the feeling of being lighter and quicker immediately overtaking him. With this newfound speed, Altar dashed forward at 100 speed. He would end up back within close quarters range of the ANBU, behind him and slightly to the left, out of direct line of sight.. It would be about now that the ANBU had finished throwing Youta at Aqua.

When he was finished with his dash of speed, he formed a Chidori and hit the ANBU in the back, around the with all the power he had, at top speed. After doing that, he would send a flurry of blows at and around the same spot he had hit with the Chidori, totaling three punches, all aimed at his back. Given that nothing had happened at this point, Altar would move back and wide of the ANBU, hoping to move to a distance of about 10 meters away from him.

Stamina: 123/200

Aqua got to about 20 meters in from his previous spot at the wall, using that time to weave his hand signs. Clone one saw Youta thrown a moment after they arrived at their destination. They were still about 25 meters away from where Youta was thrown; Clone 1 would move to intercept her. Even if she was thrown at an angle since their position hadn’t really changed since the fight started; the angle was slight if Youta was being thrown at Aqua, clone one reached an interception point well before she got there. Clone One, due to the force at which Youta was thrown, fell on his butt upon impact, making it hard for him to do anything until Youta got up.
Clone Two and Aqua would finish their hand seals, even before they got to their 20 meter location. At this point even if clone two was taken out Aqua would still have the kneaded chakra from him and his memories to finish his jutsu.
A moment after Youta was thrown a giant water dragon would be formed 15 meters in front of Aqua. Being about 2 meters wide the serpent like the creature would be created and move at 60 speed towards haru, which at this point would have just thrown the Kunai at Altar. If struck the dragon would attempt to beat Haru Down with 60 power, unless Haru moves before it reaches that destination, Aqua would move it in an attempt to follow him.  
Clone Two on the other hand would have completed Nativity of a Sea of Trees. At 61 speed the Forest would be created as such: Dense Forest with about 1 foot gaps in between trees in a line in the arena all behind Aqua and clone Two. These trees would rise up 20 meters. Clone One, Youta, Aqua, and Clone Two, if not moved would all rise up on two 5 meter Diameter wide trees with large foliage and branch structures on top, creating a 10 meter wide platform that they could stand on 15 Meters above the ground. After 2 meters to the right and left in front of Aqua there would be more trees but less packed, about 1.5 meters between trees that would be 4 meters diameter wide. On the walls above where there were no trees, about where Altar and the Anbu were, at about 3 meters above the ground, branch like structures would rise up to reach angle about 15 meters high so that a canopy was made at that location, these trees would travel about 10 meters in from the wall. At the area with no trees Aqua would create small leaves that would coat the entire ground. The leaves on the trees were thick but not thick enough to stop the rain from hitting the ground. About five meters above the trees would begin to emerge sharp branches that would go in almost everyb direction, making jumping up without distroyingb said branches impossible.
At this point Aqua would up 15 meters from the arena or rising at 61 speed.
[The time I was running would have been from the time you vacuum palmed Youta to when you threw him, this is plenty of time in the timeline to weave said handsigns. If you want to stop Aqua anywhere within those two points then the entire timeline would be rewritten.]

Seeing the ANBU simply take the hit from Altar's jutsu, made Youta raise an eyebrow, mentally. It must have been the armor, or he was insanely tough. Which ever it was (her opinion leaned towards armor, because it did not show any wear and tear) a simple blade slash would not do it, she needed to increase her firepower. And so, when the time came and Haru began his counter with his both hands (despite also holding the wires, I assume) Shigure would be coated in wind chakra, now sharp enough to go through even that armor.

Of course, despite the field around Youta that reduced Haru's speed and strength (by 10) his movements were still faster than hers, though not as faster as he might have thought. During the motion, on top of the chakra that coated the blade, another burst of chakra was surging through it. This one carried the blade with increased strength and speed then at the strongest point of the swing released as a blast of wind, sadly not strong enough to do anything to a person.
However, because of this technique, Youta's swing would be faster than expected and the timing to hit the blade on its flat side would be off. So, if attempted Haru's hand and probably forearm as well would be cut instead.

If by one reason or another, she was grabbed after all. Then at that moment, in order to distract her opponent Youta would use the Chakra Cannon against him at point blank range. No doubt the blast would not be strong enough to do any damage, but hopefully it would cause enough confusion for her to break away and take a couple steps back.

And if even then she was disarmed and thrown, then immediately upon regaining her stance Youta would unsheathe two ninjato and engage the Shroud Generator.

[Using Wind chakra blade and Vacuum sword if that wasn't clear enough.]
