Iron of Blood Iron Of Steel [Hunter]

[Claiming Landed hit with Shadow Choke Technique on Seiruna alongside destruction of her armor and depleting DR pool. Total damage dealt will be 150, leaving Seiruna with 200/300 HP. It is noted that since time had elapsed from previous post all techniques that require upkeep are now on cooldown.]

As the woman stood still, Shikaka smirked as it was apparent that his ability stunned the woman's mental, giving him time to change his plans from his initial aim to break her legs. The fortune favored the bold as the shadows wrapped around Seiruna's legs and began to ascend upward on her body crunching down on her bones keeping her in place as the shadows coiled around and trapped her in place. With such an action occurring, he stepped forward closing the gap and placing himself 2 meters from the edge of the broken bridge, 24.5 meters away from Seiruna, "Forfeit your life! Surrender and I may just let you live!" His hands quickly swapped handseals over to the sign for Bird activating his Shadow Stitching Technique (125 Power/Speed) as the shadow near Shikaka would launch outward and aiming to pierce her limbs immobilizing her further against the man while the hold against her remained.

[Claiming Landed hit with Shadow Stitching Technique on Seiruna. Total damage dealt will be 125, leaving Seiruna with 75/300 HP. It is noted that should the technique be able to be maintained that Seiruna will go unconscious next post.]

As the shadowy threads reached the woman, they pierced and wrapped around her limbs helping her down against the bridge's wooden floor. It would be difficult for her to escape his technique at this time and he stood there the wind finally settling as the river's rampage slowly began to subside. Her time was nearing and he took no satisfaction in taking a life of someone so zealous. He once was a young shinobi who though naught of the world but just a game. It was when he grew up and found himself alone and betrayed by his village that he took to banditry at river crossings. With that all said and done, he maintained his handseal, keeping the woman in place, "Last chance! Beg for your life!" He shouted once more as the clouds above clashed indicating an impeding thunderstorm was approaching. A grimace filled his face as his eyes burned towards the woman, unsure if she had lost the will to continue fighting or if it was just a matter of realizing the world would not see fit to give her another chance.

[Claiming Victory with Shadow Stitching Technique dealing enough damage to render Seiruna unconscious.]

With the woman before him falling unconscious to his shadows, Shikaka lets out a sigh and goes to collect his would be pursuer. It was a war or attrition and she had floundered her chance. Jumping over to collect the body, he would grab both blades before jumping back over to the other side of the bridge. The night had calmed now and with her unconscious body, he would lay it upon the ground by the side of the river. “It shouldn’t have come to this. But you went after me instead of an actual threat.” He said performing a few hand seals as rocks would begin to form and encase the woman with her chakra binding katana with her, her headband and other sword in Shikaka’s hands. “Rest. For you did not rest when you could have.” He stated as the Bedrock Earth Coffin condensed to a simple rock formation. Taking her headband he would use the sword and stab it through the metal protector into the ground, marking a fallen Shinobi’s tomb. That was it. With the earth walls and destroyed bridge, it was time for him to move along. So he did.
