The finals; Nova vs. Izumi Tue Mar 13, 2018 7:55 pm
Nova Makato
A-rank
- The Forbidden Mesa:
An ancient fortress castle that belonged to the first of the Kumogakure Daimyo line, the Raikage has claimed this territory as the ground for the finals at the floor of the basin far below the Kumogakure Mountain range and the Village itself. Surrounded by stands and monitors allowing the crowd to watch, their cheers carried on the winds. The Arena within the Fortress castle consists of three parts, the courtyard; an open area of a dried up zen garden with a massive old tree in its center that is 60m wide. The wall; a large that once protected the manor, 5m wide and 20m tall and made of solid stone that extends around the estate. Before finally, there’s the rooftops, a tiled and tiered volatile series of roofs of old buildings that surround the courtyard and the layered castle awnings that scale up five stories. Though, as the fight takes place primarily outdoors, the greater area outside the courtyard is protected by an S rank ninja barrier that encapsulates the arena in a dome.
Nova did not realize until walking up to the entrance herself that the final battle would take place inside the forbidden fortress. The entire trek here, she had assumed that it just loomed overhead and they would stop elsewhere, yet here she was. Even gazing straight up she could not see the end of the building, it seemed to loom over her forever. The halls were bare but for the stone and tile it was made of, and they led endlessly inwards before expelling them next to a large courtyard in the center. Already the spectators were filling the stands and cheering at the very sight of the competitors. This did nothing for the nerves Nova had carefully and made her even more on edge with such a large crowd watching. Everyone here would see her fail or succeed. A dome barrier arched towards the sky around the courtyard, and in the center Nova spotted a massive tree that must have been truly ancient to grow to such a size. Happy to see that there would be something to maneuver on and around, a plan began to formulate in her mind. By the time the battle would start, it would be nearly mid-day with the sun directly overhead and casting everything below the tree into shadow. Nova waited for the announcement to start, fingers twitching at the ready to charge inside.
"Congratulations! to our two Genin finalists from Kirigakure No Sato that have managed to make it this far, it seems indeed the mists reputation for fine ninja is not to be underestimated! Also, a congratulations must go out to all the semi finalists and their efforts. But it seems now comes the time for the final bout! I bid you to cast your eyes to the projectors, this next challenge will surely please." . The voice of Kumo's Raikage echoed across the courtyard and further, certain to be heard throughout the entire fortress. With that the crowed broke into applause and the battle would begin. The barrier would open in an archway just long enough for Kurogokegamu to skitter through then slide closed again. Now scanned the arena, though the trunk of the tree in the center was far too large to see around. Nova bee lined for it, reaching the trunk in a matter of seconds. While Kurogokegamu skittered across the courtyard Nova would channel substitution chakra into one of the web's that she had ready to load into the cannon.
For now she would leave the top of her puppet open to get a better perspective of the arena, and as she would start to climb up the trunk of the tree, rotating around it just under a quarter of the way around and unable to see her opponent still but above the first layer of branches which were 30 meters up from the ground. There she would stop and channel chakra through her puppets strings and into it, creating two insubstantial clones of the puppet clinging to the tree's massive trunk. Still more chakra flowing through the threads she would channel another jutsu, one she wasn't as familiar with. The puppet with her inside would change shape and texture, until it formed a branch sticking off the ancient tree, leaves and crooked twigs sticking off of it and blending in to the rest of the tree around it.
Blended in with her surroundings, the puppet's clones skittered forward. Though the puppets made no sound and cast no shadow, the tree would help mask both of those things; the dry leaves rustling against each other in addition to the excited crowd made it hard to pick out individual noises, especially in the center of it all. The large canopy also enveloped the entire area in shadow, the lack of the clones masked within it. One clone would skitter straight forward 15 meters, the other would skitter diagonally down and forwards the same distance, the higher of the two Kurogokegamu's clone's profile visible on the tree by the entrance her opponent would enter from.
- Chakra 105/125:
Name: Transformation Technique (変化の術 ~ Henge no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Self.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: -5 every other post.
Cooldown: Duration +1 post.
Description: Given all the missions ninja are assigned to--battle, intelligence gathering, diversions--this is a priceless ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself, but one also has the ability to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons; however, the object can be no smaller than 1 foot long in at least one dimension. Despite this, this technique has an abundance of uses. The transformation of a master of this technique (which is generally an Academy graduation requirement) makes the user physically and visually the same as the transformed person or object in question, giving the user the exact mass and physical qualities of whatever they transformed into. This is one of the most basic ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it. This technique does not give a ninja the abilities or jutsu of a person they transform into, nor can give the user the damaging ability of a weapon (however, this can be used as a bluff). Sensory techniques can easily pick out someone transformed using this jutsu: the user's chakra would be active, as well as the fact that their biological functions and scent are not masked by this jutsu. Costs 5 chakra on activation, and an additional 5 chakra every other post after that.

Name: Doppelganger Technique (影分身の術 ~ Bunshin no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Clones can go up to 15 meters away from the user before dispersing.
Specialty: Ninjutsu.
Duration: Clones last until dissipated or cancelled.
Cooldown: Five posts after all clones are dispersed.
Description: Using this technique, the user can create up to five intangible clones that appear physically identical to the user; these are created within 3 meters of the caster. The clones do not disturb the area around them, don't have shadows or body heat, and as such, in applicable situations, ninja can pick them out with varying difficulty. The clone has no physical form, and as such cannot attack. When any foreign presence passes through the clone, be it physical (a fist, a rock, a sword) or an opponent's jutsu, the clone will dissipate. It's mainly used to help mask the user, helping them attack an opponent who is superior at dodging. It costs 5 chakra to create clones.
Name: Substitution Technique (変わり身の術 ~ Kawarimi no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: One prepared item in the user's clear line of sight.
Speciality: Ninjutsu.
Duration: 1 post preparation. Infinite postponement, Instant activation.
Cooldown: 6 posts after activation.
Description: The Substitution Technique is an age-old skill which enables the user to evade the effects of an attack by switching with an item in the area. (The item---or substantial clone---used for a Substitute must be as large as the user's torso, and must be prepared at least 1 post in advance by infusing it with 5 chakra.) Activating this jutsu for another 5 chakra, the ninja moves at untraceable speed for just a moment, and the item does so as well to take the user's place; the ninja leaves behind a flickering after-image for a second, which, if damaged, releases the chakra which holds it in place in a small smoke cloud, revealing the nature of the technique and the item they have switched with. Higher-rank ninjas' afterimages are able to show some of the signs of natural impact as if it were an actual human, if only for a very short period, before 'poofing'. The user coming out of the technique creates a similar audio and visual cue with a small cloud of translucent smoke and a 'poofing' sound on appearance in the location of the item they Substituted with. This technique causes the user to move at speeds untraceable to human perception, and therefore even the user cannot coordinate attacks during the Kawarimi, or activate any other jutsu. They, however, can maneuver near someone and then attack them after the fast-movement is finished
Name: Puppet Technique (Kugutsu no Jutsu ~ 傀儡の術)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: 30m.
Specialty: Kugutsu.
Duration: -5 per post
Cooldown: Duration +1 post.
Description: This jutsu generates long, fibrous, malleable chakra strings from each of the user's fingers. They are partially intangible to prevent tangling; this jutsu cannot be used to bind people. The condensed chakra takes a hue of variable color depending on the user. Use of this technique on puppets is only available to those with the Kugutsu specialty. However, people without skill in Puppetry can still generate chakra strings to control weapons they have the specializations to wield, within 30m. This consists of whipping them around like a flail or yo-yo, or controlling their path of travel when thrown. Unless durability is enhanced by a separate technique, these chakra strings can be broken by any D rank technique that causes blunt force, cutting, or piercing damage.
This technique cannot control living people; it can only control corpses, or Human Puppets currently in the user's locker.
