Re: Chapter 5.0: A Match Into Water
Shiroma:
Kotatsu rolled 35, using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu Defense.
He merely chuckled to himself as she mentioned his one time defeat to her. However he had learned from that battle. He learned to wield her ice and that was all the knowledge he needed to stop her this time. He had been much quicker as his ice had a direct hit on her however not enough to stop her from wielding her skills. Gritting his teeth as she mocked him by firing another attack, it was one he was unfamiliar with. Her absence from their side made her stronger, he thought as he tried to analyz what he could do next to avoid his fall.
At the last minute he decided to take the attack head on, the spikes piercing him from head to toe. However even Shiroma knew that was too good to be true as darkness seemed to replace his body and he reappeared next to the now failed attempt on his life. ”You’re too cocky. Too cocky for your own good!” he shouted as he used his hand to grasp the darkness that was once him, forming it into a large shadow ball, covered in her ice spikes. ”Try this on for size!” he shouted as he trusted his arm forward, releasing the massive ball of darkness, his shadow ball he called it, enhanced with her ice spikes, making it a deadly attack heading her way.
Kotatsu rolled 27 using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu Attack.
Sakuya:
Kotatsu rolled 28 using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu Defense
Sakuya’s water chains had proved to be successful as the first chain grabbed his leg. Gritting his teeth, he managed to break free from the first chain’s grip, only to be stopped from another one wrapping around his wrist. Panicked, he tried using his darkness to warp himself away but before he could even think about it or use any hand signs, Sakuya managed to hold him down. Hiss mistake was underestimating the small girl, once called his former teammate from the land of lightning. Back then she had been nothing but quiet and weak, nothing more than a child in the background.
In his absence she had proved to be stronger than she seemed. Her most powerful jutsu had been her water chains; using her concentration, she managed to subdue him, crushing his wrists, his ankles, and even his waist. ”This cannot be! HOW?!” he said in frustration as he was slowly taken down into the ground, finally being dragged into the ocean. His clone vanishing from defeat.
[Sigmund enters the battlefield. Opponent: Sakuya. Sakuya’s move.]
Reward: Fully replenished energy and wound recovery. No exhaustion applied.
Nanami:
Kotatsu rolled 28 using 1d20+18. Ninjutsu defense.
Before he could even answer her hateful speech and disgust for him, her two techniques collided, melting the ice and snow on the battlefield. Flames had scattered everywhere, effecting not only her battle but everyone else’s as well. Due to her hate, it unknowingly powered her jutsu unintentionally, making it a dangerous combo for everyone. Kotatsu Reid to counter her technique with his warped tornado or darkness as he began spinning into the direction of her fire tornado, however he was engulfed into her technique. She had won her battle, however the battle everywhere else wasn’t over. Rogue shinobi began moving into her position, some being effected by her fire while others kept coming on back.
Sozui:
Kotatsu rolled 33 using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu defense
Sozui had been smart to observe Kotatsu’s distraction tactic. He had been using it for every battle that his clones had been engaged in to help win over his victories. However that was not the case for this battle. Air bullets began flying his way, a radius stretching pretty greatly as Sozui ensured he couldn’t flee. With a smirk, Kotatsu wasn’t going to charge head on, taking the strikes the would land on him. He rushed forward, air bullets piercing his skin slightly. Kotatsu used some of his darkness to repair the damage that he was managing to rack up as he kept moving forward. With the help of his sharingan, he mimicked Sozui’s technique using darkness to fuel his own attack. ”Darkness: Air Bullets!” he shouted as he inhaled the darkness that was used as his shield and began exhaling dark bullets at Sozui, even breaking Sozui’s air bullets in the process.
Kotatsu rolled 27 using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu Attack.
Nori:
Kotatsu rolled 39 using 1d20+18; Taijutsu Defense
Whether it was an act or courage or stupidity, Nori continued to fight on. Her words in Sigmund’s false sense she didn’t mean anything to him as it did to her. While she still believed in the good of her friend, Kotatsu knew his true potential, his true desires. That was what the darkness was all’s bout: giving people what they desired most out of life; out of their life, As she payed in the water, attempting to get up, he could only laugh. ”You think you know him, but you are so naive and in love. The darkness grants our wishes; our desires, our true potential! You all are so blind and yet so weak because you choose to go against what you all want,” he explained as he slowly walked towards her.
”We all want peace; we all want to live in harmony. WE just have a better way of doing it. We embrace our true potential, something you all fail at doing. Neither of you will ever surpass us with-“ interrupted by her dirt and water throw, he growled in anger as she leaped him at him and announced her attack. With his vision being compromised, he relied on the wind around them and the steps she took into the water and at him. Swiftly, he was able to move to the side and block her attack with his arms. Shaking his head and glaring at her with his red eyes of the Uchiha. ”You are going to regret that!” he threatened as he pushed her off balance and balled up more darkness in his hand. He went swinging towards her stomach again, this time adding more power. His shadow gale punch dealing massive damage if hit.
Kotatsu rolled 40 using 1d20+18; Ninjutsu Attack.
Sarada:
Kotatsu rolled 38 using 1d20+18; Taijutsu defense.
Sarada’s 38 and Kotatsu’s 38 negate each other, nobody wins that round.
Kotatsu had realized she went in for another punch even though he was sure he had taken her down. Before he reacted, he noticed her abdomen bleeding, an obvious sign that she suffered from a wound. He took a mental note of this as it would become useful later on if the battle persisted. Balling up his fist he managed to charge up enough chakra to run up to Sarada and swing his fist at her.
A loud boom was heard as their fists touched each other, stopping their battle briefly as an explosion happened and pushed not only them, but everyone from their current positions. A crater was left in their place where Kotatsu and Sarada had been. With ease, he managed to stay on his feet as the explosion pushed him back. Sarada however wasn’t as lucky as she rolled onto the ground multiple times, before stopping herself on her knees, panting from exhaustion it appeared.
He smirked, as the battle was beginning to turn the tide of his war upon them. ”I’ll give you that one. You almost had me there, but you forget, we’re even,” he muttered as he got to his feet. ”I will end you!” he shouted as he disappeared, reappearing in front of Sarada and managed to bring back kunai knife in hand, attempting to stab Sarada in her chest to finish her off from a simple wound,
Events that have taken place on the battlefield:
Ice is now melted and gone and is now water. Fire had burned around everyone, every battle experiencing some sort of heat and wind issues possibly effecting their battles (up to you).
Finally, Sarada and Kotatsu’s explosion effects everyone. Pushing back everyone, everyone taking unexpected damage or additional damage depending if you blocked your clone’s battle attack. This explosion has pushed away all the melted snow, water, and Nanami’s fire.
Please do react to each of these three conditions.
Everyone is now separated from their opponent, however Kotatsu and Sarada are in the center of everyone; the entire group can witness what is about to happen.
