Success came in many forms this day for Lynn, as modest as he would try to be against the odds. He had no way of knowing it was mostly from luck - as he didn't know that Chigetsu was a Hozuki - but his ruse had worked to full effect. The Genin before him sprawled and cried in his faked pain, helpless to his Genjutsu and open for the killing blow. At least, it would be a killing blow, had they been true enemies; this was not a fight to the death, after all. Despite this, there was an unfortunate downside to all of this simply being illusion, even if that was the only way a Hozuki would be affected by such low rank Katon jutsu...projectiles won't clash with it.
So, before Lynn was able to enjoy anything about his actions, they had to deal with a simple shuriken, and two more of those blasted Water Gunshots. As he was focused on his fraudulent flames, rather than his own danger, his body only barely reacted in time from the whistle of the wind piercing his ears as they closed in. Stopping the stream of fire pre-maturely, Lynn raised his arms in a cross position, ready to take on the attacks full force, as he had no time to focus his chakra into any defensive measures, nor could he dodge them. That was when the pain began, which would make him realize it was time to concede sooner than he had hoped.
First, the shuriken would find its mark onto the middle of Lynn's right forearm, piercing one and a half inches deep. It most definitely started to make him bleed - a little more than most would - and brought a grunt of pain out of him. What's more, these Water Gunshots were going to be a lot more deadly than they really should be. The first one slammed into the metal stuck within him, furthering its insertion, about an inch more...with the last gunshot doing the same exact thing; tearing through his skin like paper. It truly was a predicament; there was no way he'd be able to do normal jutsu anymore with that hand, with steel deep inside him at three and a half inches. It was going to take him a while to clot the blood, for damn sure...screw hemophilia.
After biting down hard on his lip, just to feign toughness against his truly painful situation, he let down his arms, hiding the damaged one behind his back. Letting out a deep sigh, he strolled over to Chigetsu's rolling form, slamming his heel onto the boy's kneecap just to keep him in place. It wouldn't hurt too much, maybe leave a light bruise, but it was to assert his 'dominance' in the exchange. At that moment, he'd then kneel down, placing a hand on their opposite leg and sending a surge of chakra through him. In truth, this was Kai - Genjutsu Dissipation - so the flames that hurt him so was to disappear rather quickly. Especially so, since this was a Genjutsu of his own design; it would be impossible for him not to know its composition, or not use enough fuel to stop it. After this, he spoke, with no source of sarcasm, bitterness, or even pride; only matter of factly.
"This battle is over. I'm conceding...we saw what happened. I doubt we wouldn't last much longer anyway. You saw what my Genjutsu can do. Take your victory and leave with a clear conscious." Yes, that's right, everyone! I, Lynn, concede this match! I'm taking my leave now!"And so, that was it. The Uchiha Clan, known for their antics, would have never done this in the past; they fought to the bitter end, and always boasted of their strength, as far as Lynn knew. But he wasn't like that; Lynn knew that if he had tried to continue on, he wouldn't last. The bleeding was too bad, and there was no way he was going to be able to make his hand seals at a fast pace. Chi might have been able to see the blood dripping behind him, but the young man wasn't letting it off if he could help it. He was ending the battle on his terms.
Without any second thought or regrets, he ran off out of the arena, ready to seek medical help as soon as possible.
[Final WC: 753 + 1324 = 2077/1500]
- Chakra: 95/150 - Jutsu Used:
Name: Genjutsu Dissipation (幻術解 ~ Genjutsu Kai)
Canon/Custom: Canon.
Rank: E.
Type: Defensive/Supplementary.
Element: None.
Range: Self.
Specialty: Genjutsu.
Duration: Instantaneous.
Cooldown: 4 posts.
Description:A technique taught at the Ninja Academy requiring chakra control. By using Kai, a ninja disrupts their own flow of chakra, then starts it again. This allows a ninja to escape from illusions, provided he or she has figured out that a Genjutsu is active. Ninja can use this ability on their comrades to save them from genjutsu, and possibly other techniques that invade their chakra system. It is possible for this technique to fail, if the user misjudges the power of the genjutsu and does not put in enough chakra to stop their chakra flow.
This is an E-ranked technique, but has variable chakra costs.
- Genin: 20 chakra for a D-ranked Genjutsu, 40 for C. Genin cannot dispel B-ranked Genjutsu.
- Chuunin: 30 chakra for a C-ranked Genjutsu, 50 for B. Chuunin cannot dispel A-ranked Genjutsu.
- Special Jounin: 40 chakra for a B-ranked Genjutsu, 60 for A. Toku-Jou cannot dispel S-ranked Genjutsu.
- Jounin: 50 chakra for an A-ranked Genjutsu, 70 for S. Jounin cannot dispel SS-ranked Genjutsu.
- Sannin/Kage: 60 chakra for an S-ranked Genjutsu, 90 for SS. Only Genjutsu that specifically say that they cannot be Dissipated (such as Tsukuyomi) are the exception.
~Kai can dispel multiple genjutsu at once, but only on the user or another person, not both. The highest-rank genjutsu costs the normal amount to Dissipate, then the second costs the normal amount -5, the third -10, and so on. So, if a genin was caught under a C-rank and two D-rank genjutsu, it would cost 40 chakra to dispel the C-rank jutsu, 15 to dispel the first D-rank, and 10 to dispel the second D-rank.
