Mitsuo went through the transition he always does when entering a battle. He could feel something switch on inside of his head and cogs start to turn. He was a very smart individual, and it had helped him out plenty of times in the past, but in this case he was going to see how smart his team was. He watched each of their reactions to him taking his stance and placing down the package of cigarettes, noting something about each one of their students. He noticed first that the young Uzumaki was fiddling with his hands. The Uzumaki clan were proficient in Fuuinjutsu and he had no doubt that he would be utilizing that in this fight. The red haired boy fumbled around, watching Mitsuo as the other two began their moves.
He noticed Aizu rushing forward without fear, though not coming for him, which was probably for the best. He thought he remembered briefly glancing over Aizu’s records and seeing that he was strictly a Taijutsu user, which interested Mitsuo. He would be able to teach him a thing or two for sure. He was surprised at his age though, the man being twelve years older than Mitsuo was himself. He watched as he made a dart for the cigarettes and started to formulate a plan to stop him. The third one he noticed was that Zoki was a fellow swordsman, the difference being he preferred to use an Odachi, or long sword, as opposed to the smaller and faster Katana. Mitsuo smiled as he watched Zoki following Aizu, perhaps working together with some sort of preformed plan. In his head though, he was telling them not to rush him, wishing they had thought of something better to do against a Jounin ranked shinobi like himself. He was trying to think of the best way to do this without hurting any of them and he had decided this would probably be the most effective.
“Guess that’s it then, class is in session.” He let out a low whistle and his eyes scanned the forest to see what he was looking for before he made his next move. He quickly noticed the flash of white bobbing outside of the clearing in the trees and smiled to himself, reassured and knowing the positioning of one of his key tools. He would probably not use it in this fight, but he always enjoyed the comfort of knowing his silent guardian was around.
Mitsuo strung together a few hand signs as his students charged at him and
Poof! an exact replica of him had appeared. He had remembered the effectiveness of this jutsu when his sensei had used it against him and his squad the first time and he had been itching to give it a try. They stood side by side, nobody would have been able to tell which one was the real him. The one on the left, furthest from the cigarettes looked towards the two rushing nin and formed a tiger hand seal, sending a large stream of fire at the two of them before quickly drawing his sword and tanto, the two of them laying point back towards his elbow, blade out, and flat laying against his forearm. If the students had dodged the jutsu he would run towards Zoki, moving towards him and performing a spinning strike with his right arm, which held the Katana, coming back to block his blind spot with his Tanto. If they hadn’t dodged he would charge right through to shoulder charge Aizu into Zoki, if this was to hit it would knock at least Aizu and hopefully both of them to the ground.
The Mitsuo on the right looked towards the Uzumaki in his squad and smiled softly, putting his hands together in a bird sign and forming three pockets of wind in his mouth. He would expel the extremely quick wind bullets in rapid succession towards his student, one right at him which would hit him square in the chest were it to connect, one a little lower and to the left, and the other the same height as the second but to the right instead, limiting his escape options. No matter how the jutsu ended, Mitsuo would pull the wire out of his pouch, along with four of his Kunai, sliding the Kunai onto the wire and tying one to each end. He would throw the first one at the tree behind and to the right of Matsu, and the other three into places where they would form a square, holding onto some of the wire as he did this so that he would have basically created a wrestling ring type thing out of Kunai and wire. The second Mitsuo did not move however, and held his position beside the log, awaiting his Student’s next moves eagerly and looking forward to seeing how they would react to the situations they were in.
(1961/2000 Shadow Clones)
- Jutsus Used:
Name: Shadow Doppelganger Technique (影分身の術 ~ Kage Bunshin no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: B
Type: Supplementary
Element: None
Range: The clone can be created up to 6 metres away from the user.
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: Until all clones are dispersed
Cooldown: Three posts after clones are dispersed.
Description: Shadow Doppelganger Technique creates up to 4 clones of the user. Unlike the regular Bunshin, these clones are actual copies, not illusions. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each one an equal fraction of the user's overall power. Because they are created this way, even the Sharingan and Byakugan can't distinguish them from the original. The user of this technique must form a hand sign to create the clones, they cannot form them simply by will. The clones will be created in roughly the same physical condition as the original [wounds and debuffs present on creation are copied over]; also, the user must equally divide their chakra among the clones, potentially using up all their chakra quickly if the user is low on chakra or makes too many clones. The clones are capable of performing techniques on their own and can even bleed. They can also disperse on the user's whim. A characteristic that is unique to the Shadow Clone Technique is that any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. This makes the technique ideal for spying, since the user can simply send a clone to spy on a target, then have the clone disperse itself without returning to pass the information back to the user. THE USER REGAINS THE CHAKRA THE CLONE HAD IF AND ONLY IF HE/SHE DISPERSES IT OF HIS/HER OWN WILL. TAKES A 1 POST PREP TO DISPERSE.
When you create a shadow clone, your chakra is divided among it/them. For example, let's say you're a Chuunin with max chakra. Your current chakra, 200, would be reduced by 20 for the cost of the jutsu; you want to make 4 clones, so your chakra is divided by 4. This gives each clone a 1/4th of your chakra. So, each clone would have 45 chakra. Being that they are shadow clones, they are each able to perform jutsu themselves; they have their own separate chakra pool, and also follow their own cooldowns for jutsu. Each Shadow Clone has a reserve of stamina; their individual chakra is reduced by an amount appropriate amount to the damage done (E-10, D-15, C-20, B-25, A-30, S-35). The clone automatically disperses when it runs out of chakra, or when hit by any attack that can cause a noteworthy level of physical damage [second/third degree burns, broken bones, stab wounds, etc] If the original uses a technique before creating the shadow clones, the remaining cooldown on the technique applies to all clones created.
Name: Wind Release: Air Bullets (Futon: Kazejuugan ~ ??·????)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Element: Futon
Range: 30 metres
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 4 posts
Description: Wind Release: Air bullets is a technique where the user fires a barrage of condensed bullets of air. The user forms the bird hand seal, condensing their chakra into several pressurised spheres of wind that the user spits out in rapid succession towards the opponent. These air bullets are transparent spheres, and are roughly 4 inches in diameter. When fired, they travel at roughly 50mph. Direct impact by one of these spheres will knock the victim back several feet, tear through any clothing it hits and leaves the surface of the skin where it hit torn and frayed. If a bullet passes near the target, it can leave small lacerations on any exposed flesh it comes near. The cost is 5 chakra per bullet, and the user must fire at least three at once. a maximum of eight can be fired per use.
Name: Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu (??·????? ~ Katon: Gokakyu no Jutsu)
Canon/Custom: Canon
Rank: C
Type: Offensive
Element: Katon
Range: 80 metres
Specialty: Ninjutsu
Duration: 1 post
Cooldown: 3 posts
Description: The user forms the Tiger hand seal and breathes deep, filling their throat and lungs with chakra. They then exhale this chakra as a massive orb of roaring flames. It can either be fired as a gigantic sphere of flame or used as a flame-thrower style stream of flames. Either way, the released flames will engulf their target, causing second degree burns to all exposed flesh. The ball of flame will be the size of a bus, regardless of which form it is used in. When used as a flame-thrower, the attack will extend 15 metres in-front of the user. When the user stops breathing the stream of flame or a post lapses, the stream will end and the fireball will simply evaporate. When used as a fireball the sphere will travel at 30 mph. While this form of the attack can travel 80 metres, after it spans 25 metres it will begin to fade, gradually shrinking and becoming less potent. After 50 metres, it can only cause mild first degree burns.
