1 Elimination Rounds: The Tree versus the Petals [CE2] (Part 2) Wed Sep 03, 2014 3:50 pm
Nozomi
D-rank
OOC: Due to the arbitration noting the glitched page, I'm continuing here.
Nozomi was fairly certain that at least one of her attacks had hit her opponent. Because she was on the move, she had already passed by the shot to the side, and honestly didn't realize he'd counter attacked at all. However, she did notice that he was nowhere to be seen, meaning that the tree boy had managed to get away somewhat protected. She hadn't defeated him. The fact of the matter was that she couldn't see him, which meant he also had no sight on what she was doing.
Due to her close proximity to the destroyed prison, Nozomi formulated a quick plan. Lowering herself to some shattered pieces of wood blocks, Nozomi placed her hands quickly on one of them, marking it for use of substitution if she needed to utilize that technique, and quickly tossed the wood block away from her, the block landing some 10 feet away in another pile of broken wood. After doing that, and still no sign of her opponent, Nozomi created a clone using the basic technique and then transformed herself into a block of broken wood herself. It wasn't perfect, as her wood was a little lighter than that of the prison's, but she was in a shadow, so it would be difficult to tell.
After that, her clone simply waited. It was just to get a fix on her opponent's location. From what she knew, he was hurting. She'd scored the opening hit on him for sure, knocking him to a knee, so his kneecap couldn't feel too good. Then her petal blades had certainly scratched him. As well as there wasn't a chance that he'd escaped entirely unscathed. At the very least he was hurting. Losing blood perhaps, and that would be the difference between them. Nozomi hadn't been hit yet. She sent her clone prowling forward to maintain the image that she was being cautious.

WC: 317
Chakra: 100/150
Jutsu Used:
- Spoiler:
- 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.
