Upon arriving to the battlefield Sasori notices a person ahead of him, someone who he could make good use of. Deciding to not waste anytime he decided to attack this man and test his mettle. Sasori started off by first performing a single hand seal causing the ground ten meters around the man to begin sinking downwards in a circular manner, ten meters in all directions. Due to the width of the technique and how the man was at the center of it, he would have a hard time trying to avoid the gaping hole. Instantly after the hole was formed Sasori would infuse the man with chakra and inflict a genjutsu upon him in the process. In this genjutsu the man would see himself being entangled by a powerful snake that would bind him in place. This binding wold essentially cause him to be immobile leaving him prey to the gaping hole even more.

Description: The user performs the Ram hand seal and causes the ground and everything on and around it to be sucked in towards the middle of a large pit, much like the method an antlion uses to catch prey. Upon being dragged to the centre, the victim will then be sucked underground. There the victim, depending on how deep the user makes them sink, will be trapped and/or suffocated. The range of the pit is determined by how much chakra is put into the technique.

Seeing a man come into view, Vegeta was weary immediately going on high alert. With the man making a seal indicative of earthen release, as well as the tell-tale rumble below him, Geets easily deduces an attack from below is eminent. With a seal of his own, Geets molds lots of katon, channeling it to his feet releasing it against the ground before it could swallow him thrusting him 7 meters into the air where Geets expels a large Fire Skull 4 meters tall and 3 meters diameter that rages towards Sasori. This would skew the view between the two momentarily, and as it gets to 1 meter away he manipulates it to open it's large jaws set to wrap Sasori in it's incinerator like mouth, which would burn him to ashes..

Description: After several battles, Hidan great love for Fire made him devised a technique aimed to finish his opponents. After performing the Tiger hand seal, the user will mold a large portion of their Fire chakra and then channel some of this fire chakra at base of their feet whilst condensing it. By releasing it against the ground below, the user would create a upthrust force, that would enable them to be able to propel themselves upwards in a height 7 meters. At that moment in the air, the user would then channel all their fire chakra into their lungs whilst using shape manipulation simultaneously and transforms it into a condense fire Skull. When this is done, the user would then expel out the condense fire Skull aimed at the opposing target. Just as the Fire skull gets about 1 meters towards the target, The user will manipulate it in such a way the skull would open its mouth, and swallow the target whole thus burning them into ashes. The fire skull is quite huge having a height of 4 meters and a diameter of 3 meters.
Note:
• Can only be done twice per battles.
• No S-Rank or above Fire in the user's next turn

Sasori made sure to keep an eye out on his opponent in order to make sure that they didn't escape his trap hole, and if they did which he thought was possible, they would do so in with an aerial escape. Sasori's suspicions were soon confirmed when saw his opponent propel themselves in the air with what appeared to be fire. Deciding that this was the optimum time to attack Sasori went into action right as his opponent began propelling themselves into the air. Sasori had decided he would rather be safe than sorry, so he would strike the man down before he could too high into the air and if did decide to continue into the air it would only make his own predicament worse. At the same moment, Sasori raised his left hand into the air and began charging his hand with lightning chakra. In mere moments before the man finished his flight a bolt of lightning would rain down from the skies intending to hit him head first and electrocute him. With the man most likely being preoccupied with the lightning, Sasori, as soon as the bolt was released would have began releasing wind chakra into the air. This would cause for a massive tornado to manifest into existence and would be approaching the man from his left, with attentions of dismantling whatever was left of his body.

]Air borne, Geets is about to expel fire chakra to attack the young looking man when he see's him raise his hand charging what appears/sounds like raiton. With a quick action, as the bolt would be raining down upon him Geets would use the wind to quickly pull himself downwards at Sasori however he would land a meter in front of him, smashing the ground into a crater that would send Sasori falling back. This would make the lightning bolt miss him and also interrupt Sasori's next attack..

Just as Sasori released his lightning attack he noticed his opponent swiftly dash out of the way of the incoming bolt, so instead of continuing with his next jutsu he decided to change his plan of attack. He noticed that his opponent was moving out of the way of his attack with what appeared to be a wind based Jutsu. Immediately after the man began to propel himself forward he noticed that he was coming at Sasori from a certain angle with incredible speed. Sasori instantly knew that at the speeds his opponent was moving at he would have a powerful shock wave approaching him after his opponent landed. Knowing exactly what he should do and how to do it, he simply waited for the optimum time. Right before his opponent would make contact with the land a meter in front of Sasori, Sasori formed two hand seals causing the area, one meter around in a circular manner to be shifted into a fifty-meter deep, swamp of mud. This attack, however, would be done at just the right moment, before his opponent would make contact with the ground leaving him little time to evade or even become aware of the mud in time. If successfully pulled off the man would have led himself to his own demise, considering that at the speed he was moving at, his body would become entirely submerged in mud in no time, leaving him to suffocate.

The adhesive, chakra-infused mud ensnares the enemy's body, making it almost impossible to recover one's strength and escape from the swamp. The size and depth of the created swamp depends on the user's skill and the amount of chakra used, but if the user is an expert in this technique, it will always be possible to make a fair-sized swamp which is extremely effective against a great number of enemies or when having to face gigantic creatures.

Approaching the ground quickly, Geets see's the man make his seals without moving, alerting him something was a miss. Before his eyes the ground where he was set to land becomes a swamp, and in a flash he strings together a nasty combo. With Sasori only being 1 meter away, he takes full advantage of their close proximity knowing it would make countering his next attack all the more hard. In a burst, he releases fire chakra and moves forwards to the right 3 meters making a seal as he does. Now what this action has done, will leave Sasori in the center of a 4 meter diameter explosion. As Geets bursts initially, he releases fire chakra shaped like himself. The seal, creates a mass of explosive gas 1 meter behind Sasori. With his will, he causes the fire chakra to explode 2 meters all around. This would catch Sasori in it (As he was 1 meter away) but will also set off the gas behind him triggering a secondary explosion. The combination of the two would leave him almost no room to escape conventionally. With several seals, Geets activates his eyes and begins scanning the explosion for his opponent..

Rank: B
Range:Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage:N/A (+1 rank to first jutsu)
Description:
This is a unique technique utilising the flammable gas form of Katon similar to the canon Mist Blaze Dance jutsu. To begin the user will string two additional hand seals onto the performance of another jutsu. By doing so they will form a cloud of flammable and extremely volatile gas in an area chosen by the user and in an amount proportional to the first jutsu.
Alone this gas is harmless to any targets but due to its nature it is able to be ignited by any heat source in the area it is formed in, however slight it may be. For example any naked flame, heat present in sparks or generated through friction would be enough to ignite the gas and produce violently explosive results. The user can employ chakra control to angle the explosion away from the first jutsu to prevent any unwanted negative effects.
Note:
~Can only be used 4 times
~Cannot be used in consecutive turns
~Can only be taught by Mellow

Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans, inherited from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, shinobi with have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters and Otsutsuki clan members will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. Not only can they see chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu (even of their own). Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if they're a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot; slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Note: For Hyugas, activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Hyugas must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Its tracking abilities are equal to that of 3 Tomoe Sharingan.
Note: Only Hyugas possess the ability to utilize Jyuken, However, all Otsutsuki clan members possess the ability of passive activation.

The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Note: For Hyugas, activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil
Note: Hyugas must be activated to use Gentle Fist (Jyuken)
Note: Its tracking abilities are equal to that of 3 Tomoe Sharingan.
Note: Only Hyugas possess the ability to utilize Jyuken, However, all Otsutsuki clan members possess the ability of passive activation.

Upon his foe removing themselves from the area of the swamp, Sasori instantly noticed himself in a bad predicament. While his opponent was avoiding the swamp, he noticed that his foe had produced a fire entity shaped after himself. It wasn't long after it was produced that it came rampaging towards Sasori. At that very moment, he would perform a single hand seal and spew out water towards the ground. This water would catapult him into the air, out of range of the fire familiar, and out of range of the possible explosion. As the water is rising ten meters and above into the sky the fire familiar would instantly be doused preventing any larger explosion. Instead of idly remaining on the wave, Sasori commanded it forward to in order to crush the man with the might of the waves.

Seeing Sasori spew the water putting out his blast before it could occur, he puts his hand on the hilt of his sword channeling chakra to it. Timing it so with his height and speed his forwards momentum would carry him towards Geets, he quickly draws his sword slashing towards the wave, releasing a green arrow that literally splits the wave in half crashing to either side of Vegeta, however this would leave Sasori plummeting forwards towards destiny..

Type: Offensive
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 60
Description: A fantastic close quarter maneuver, the Sunny Triple Strike relies on excessive flexibility and taijutsu expertise. Starting from either a running entry or stationary, the user will leap up with his legs in a full split mid-air and proceed to deliver three kicks to the target. The first kick would be like a standard jumping side kick, but with their extremely strong core they would maintain the split and continue rotating their body to enable a whiplash and follow with a reverse heel kick from the opposite leg and then finish it by continuing the rotation and delivering a final kick with the leg that delivered the original strike. During the course of the taijutsu move, the Shinobi would essentially rotate 540 degrees while delivering the three kicks.
-Can only be used 3x times

Just as Sasori was rising into the air he noticed a swift movement and next he knew he was falling out of the air as his wave had been dismantled. As he was no falling in mid-air he performed a horn sign with his left hand and then released from it a chakra web that would extend up to long to his left and stamp itself somewhere on the ground. In a matter of seconds, he would quickly and swiftly begin to zip line across the field in what would appear to be a blur. However in order to make sure his opponent would not get a chance to act. He did so by raising his free hand immediately after the chakra web was released from his hand and channeled his lightning chakra into the sky. This would cause lightning to manifest from above and come raising down and shock the man where he stood.

Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The will first make a horn sign with one of their hands, and then begin to generate chakra in their index and pinky finger. The chakra being generated in their finger tips is similar to the chakra thread technique. Once chakra has been kneaded in their fingertips the user will then aim their hand towards a specific object and launch the chakra threads from their fingertips. The chakra threads will attach themselves to an object by using the sticky properties of the threads, and then begin to drag the user in that direction allowing for the user to dodge attacks or easily get around. The chakra threads were shown to have the ability to pull objects when they are attached to a puppet or when holding a puppet in the air. The process of being dragged happens pretty quickly giving the user swift movements. It is also possible for this technique to work in reverse, which just mean that it is possible to bring objects closer towards the user or even swing them to attack the enemy. The user can also use the threads in order to drag objects closer since it was shown when using a puppet the puppeteer was capable of maneuvering the puppet in any direction that they chose. When using to dodge it is unable evade large scale jutsu, and must still be within reason.
Note: Can be used four times

(Dōjutsu: Byakugan) Eye Technique: The All Seeing White Eye
Type: Supplementary
Rank: C - Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 15 (-5 per turn to keep active)
Damage: N/A
Description: One of the Three Great Dōjutsu (San Daidōjutsu), the Byakugan is the dōjutsu kekkei genkai of the Hyūga and Ōtsutsuki clans, inherited from Kaguya Ōtsutsuki. Bearers of this Dõjutsu have almost featureless white eyes. When the Byakugan is activated, the user's pupils become more distinct, and the veins near their temples bulge as the blood flow to their eyes is increased. While having the Byakugan deactivated, shinobi with have a normal eyesight and no special addition to their vision. While low rank Hyugas will need to perform a sequence of hand seals ( Horse → Tiger with lifting just index fingers → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Hare → Rat → Dog → Horse → Dog → Hare → Rat → Boar with nearly straightened fingers → Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up) to activate their Byakugan, Hyuga masters and Otsutsuki clan members will be able to do so without the need for any hand seals and even have it active passively for long periods of time. Once activated, the user gains access to all of the abilities the Byakugan bestows upon them. While, like other Dojutsu, its main ability is to see chakra and the chakra flow in sentient beings, the Byakugan adds a complete new detail and dimension to that ability. Not only can they see chakra flow, but also the circulatory system and even the 361 tenketsu (even of their own). Added to this ability, once activated the Byakugan grants the user a near perfect field of vision 360º around himself (up to long-range if they're a master). This field of vision has only one blind spot; slightly above the 3rd thoracic vertebrae and facing backwards. The last ability the Byakugan has is the ability to zoom in and out, focusing on specific things, piercing beyond matter and energy alike. This specific ability allows the user to see pass most barriers as well as physical matter (like rock walls, ground, etc) but also energy, being able to focus beyond chakra that might be in front of them or other energies. The zooming ability is enhanced as the user becomes more adept at using his eyes and can even reach distances above 20kms away.
Note: For Hyugas, activation spends a move from the users own move count but once the user reaches Sannin Rank and has gained mastery over Gentle Fist for 1 month, he can activate it passively without spending a move. Because of its low chakra cost to maintain, the user can keep it active throughout the whole fight as long as he has chakra and stamina to do so.
Note: Genjutsu that requires Eye Contact when used against a Byakugan user requires direct eye contact between enemy pupil and user's pupil

Note: Its tracking abilities are equal to that of 3 Tomoe Sharingan.

With much clearer perception of the situation, Geets easily see's the molded raiton chakra enter the sky, and as the bolt of lightning rains down Geets simply activates one of his earrings special abilities.

(Za Kindachi Kyuui) The Kings Peace
Rank: S
Type: Weapon
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: Thousands of years ago, there was a lone some village in the Land of Eki, where all the villagers to a vow of peace. Never to fight even if their own life is endangered, the only exception was the protection of family and loved ones. Kids were taught this from an early age, meditation was also practiced at minimum 4 times a day to keep everyone at one with themselves. Within this village were great craftsmen throughout out all the land, that made tools with the heart for defending. Other bigger Villages and tribes with well over a thousand people wanted these craftsmen and their creations to in attempt to become rulers of the entire land of Eki. The village hidden in Ketsueki, the biggest in all the land and by far the most powerful, came to the lone village destroying everyones homes and killing the people of the village in search for the craftsmen and what they seen as "weapons". One of the Five craftsmen gave his son a pair of Gold earrings with what appears to have aqua colored diamonds[from chakra being stored within them] after the son put the earring on they became one with him. The intruders eventually found the last craftsman and his family hiding within a tunnel built under their home, each being pulled and executed, the son being the last one pulled from the tunnel, when they tried to kill him a barrier of chakra appeared reflecting thier jutsu. This son with the only tools ever found, made by the legendary craftsmen , after 20 years went on to become King of all the land of Eki, finally bringing Peace. The earrings became known as "The Kings Peace", and their abilities are known to Block and/or Reflect nearly anything threatening the holder.
Note: The earrings can activate without the holders awareness but will always cost a move and drain proportional chakra to the technique defended from, preventing the user from molding his chakra at the same time for another technique.
Note: Only works with offensive Ninjutsu techniques (elemental or not) travelling towards the user.
Note: Blocking [right earring] is the ability through which the earings bring forth a shield of chakra, shy of 50cm from the user, in the path of an incoming technique, just enough to block it from damaging the wearer and Reflection[left earring] is the ability to bring forth a dampening shield of chakra, in the path of an incoming technique, which diverts the attack's path and sends it back towards its origin, albeit weaker by half (B-Rank becomes C-Rank for example).
Note: Each ability can only be used once every 3 turns and can only defend against up to B-Rank. By sacrificing the ability to reuse one of the applications, the user is able to forcefully will the earings to defend from a technique up to S-Rank. However, in this case, that application becomes unusable for the rest of the match and they need conscious control from the user to perform said defense.

While Sasori was swiftly moving through the area spanning its distance in a matter of seconds, he noticed that his enemy was quickly following behind. As soon as he landed he noticed that his foe was close at hand and right after he arrived Sasori noticed something conspicuous coming towards his heart container. Without wasting anymore time he quickly began to manifest lightning around his body causing a dragon entity to spring forth around his body. The dragon would come forth as soon as the strike was released and would essentially cause it to collide with the dragon. Once collision was made, Sasori would then propel the dragon towards the man already in close proximity.
