Special Encounter

[KeotsuEclipse]

Terrain: A series of innumerable floating islands, composed of earth and stone, floating in the sky. An ocean of clouds spans as far as the eye can see, and several of the islands have large lakes on them, dropping water down below, into an endless ocean. A fall off the islands is fatal. Each island has a long-range span. A "path" of small, floating boulders goes from island to island. We begin on the verge of two different islands, looking towards each other, a distance of mid-range away.

Rules: We'll be using a special rule-set for this battle, listed below:

Keotsu's Rules

Spoiler

• 3 Moves Per Turn
• Body Flicker and Substitution Jutsu's are not allowed
• Genjutsu "Kai" is useable once per turn, per its functionality. Does not work on MS and EMS Genjutsu's.
• Techniques and attacks can be avoided and countered in freeform, so long as a believable, detailed description is given as to HOW.
• Keep track of HP and Chakra
• As these are altered rules, this battle is unofficial.

Extra: These rules, I feel, allow for a more cinematic experience that tells more of a story. In this case, I don't have a background or prompt for the battle, but, that doesn't mean it can't be enjoyable!

faced his one true rival once again. How many times had it been now? He had long since lost count, but no matter, today would end in his victory. His indigo and black scarf whisked about in the wind, and his shoulder length hair danced about. He had removed the pink string that once held it together and placed it in his pocket, and long since tossed his black coat aside. The black rose adorned upon his back was clearly visible to all, but it's origin was known only to a select few. His two swords vibrated against his hips as if to reassure him that this time would be different. As the sun beamed down upon them, it was Zero who broke the silence.

"This is the perfect setting for a victor to finally be decided"

Raijin No Kogake | Thunder God's Gauntlet

Spoiler

Type: Weapon
Rank: S rank
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: The Raijin's Gauntlet is a special gauntlet that was designed by Minato Namikaze himself in order to increase and polish his strategy in Ninjutsu and Hiraishin Jutsu. The Gauntlet is a regular steel Gauntlet which consist of a foldable hidden cross bow on it such that when it is worn on the hands, the Crossbow is hidden under the wrist of the user. This Crossbow is fed mini bolts on each Gauntlet that are made out of materials that are used to manufacture kunais.

Abilities:
The general ability of this crossbow is that the crossbow can send normal or Seal marked (FTG) bolts like a freeform Kunai throw. The Crossbow can send tiny bolt infused with raw chakra like a regular kunai or infuse them with one of the basic five elemental chakras to improve the effect it has on the target like Infusing it with wind to increase sharpness, Lightning to increase piercing power, Fire to burns, earth to harden, etc. Releasing normal or "Infused" bolt(s) comes under freeform attack, like a freeform "infused" Kunai throw.

First Ability:
The first one is that when the infused bolts are released towards the target, the user can perform a single special hand seal ( Like Deidara's "Katsu" ) in order to make the Bolts blast to create a short ranged explosion of the desired element. The explosion will be A ranked in strength and this ability can only be used three times per battle. This counts towards the user's jutsu per turn limit.

Second Ability:
The second ability is the user is able to attach ninja wire/strings to the tail of the bolts while they are released . While these strings are normally A ranked ninjutsu in strength, they are very sharp so that they can slice through or severe a human flesh with ease. The user can use these wire attached bolts(s) to bind the opponent, constricting the movement of any part of the body and pin them to any surface or the ground with the bolt acting as the anchor point fixing itself to the ground/surface. The user can anchor the bolt to any surface/sentinel object as a means to pull himself up ( For example, The user can anchor the bolt to a tree/ground near a swamp to get out of it) . The Wire is A ranked in strength however when these wires are attached to elemental infused bolts they are of A ranked in strength of that particular element and follows elemental strength and weakness. The elemental wires when severing the opponent or impaling through them produces the effects of their particular element. This second ability can be used only 4 times per battle and consumes one jutsu slot. Only one the ability can be used at a time and never both combined. Meaning if the users sends an elemental bolts with wire attached, the user can only use the second ability and cannot make the bolt blast up to create the effect of the first ability.

The Gauntlets are very strong and virtually indestructible but this doesn't mean they can defend against anything and everything. The weapon is chakra sensitive hence when someone else wears it, the gauntlet releases S ranked spikes from within it impaling and severing the hands of the person who used it.

Restrictions:
*FTG sealed bolts can only be used my Minato/Tobirama bios*
*Can only be Taught by -Best-*

Edit:......Dammit Ian ;_;

 

[KeotsuEclipse]

Ian told me to take AJ on.

As I mentioned, I wanted to add an additional rule, but not without your permission - to which you agreed. To those keeping up with the fight, this new rule is:

All techniques are gauged by their power. So, an A-rank + 20 = an S rank. Elemental Superiority gives +20 damage to the superior element.

Keotsu's long hair swayed in the gentle winds that blew up here, high in the sky. The land was strange and foreign, but not alien. The floating islands could have been the remnants of a land once ravaged by war, now teeming with life after innumerable eons. Mythos at his hip, Keotsu swore it rattled in its scabbard; an excitement welled with himself and his blade, eager to face off against his old friend.

Keotsu brushed a loose bang from his face, the wind billowing his hair away, revealing a white rose inscribed upon the right shoulder, of the same mysterious origins as the black rose inscribed upon his friend's clothing.

Keotsu laughed as his friend spoke, though. He had lost track of the times they had clashed. While this most certainly would make a fitting place for a final confrontation...he doubt it would be as such.

"You really think, given our record, that this'll be the last time? No, we'll be going at each other until we're both six foot under."

Keotsu cracked his knuckles, and grinned.

This was an opponent he wouldn't need to hold back against....

...nor would he.

 

[Ańbu Juniør]

​

Zero chuckled to himself as Keotsu spoke. Six foot under huh? How true that was. No matter what transpired today, he was sure they'd continue to be rivals forever. In both this life and the next. He took a deep breath and prepared himself for the chaos that would ensure. The first problem he faced was the terrain they were on. He needed to move the fight onto one of the island's without revealing his true intentions, but it would be difficult to do so given his opponent's nature. He couldn't do this half heartedly. Suddenly he moved towards his rival, bounding over the floating rocks that separated them. As he did so he removed a scroll from his own pouch that he threw skyward, which reached mid way between the two before opening up. From the scroll come a bombardment of different weapons which rain down upon Keotsu with tremendous speed. So fast were they, that all that could be seen were streaks of white descending from the heavens

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short - Long
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: A stronger version of the Twin Rising Dragons, the user tosses their large scroll into the air above her opponent and summons hundreds of different weapons from it, which then rain down, impaling the opponent and anything in their path. The weapons move so fast that they appear as white streaks.

Zero on the other hand had already begun the next wave of his onslaught before the scroll had opened up. He halted on one of the floating rocks and slashed his hand through the air in a horizontal manner, emitting chakra from his fingertips that he skillfully materialised into a near invisible blade of wind. The blade traveled so fast that it would hit converge upon Keotsu as the descending weapons began to make contact.

Rank: A-Rank
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: This technique is a pinpoint slashing strike, where the user emits chakra from their fingertips and materialises it into an near invisible weapon that assaults the enemy in a gust of wind. If the Sickle Weasel Technique can be regarded as a swarm of small wind kunai, then this technique is akin to a virtually unavoidable longsword which can leave the target's body mutilated. Just being in close proximity to the technique can cause minor cuts. The wind blades can be created and thrown, like projectiles, in rapid succession, although in this case, each one weaker than the single use application. The technique cannot be blocked by physical weapons and is insanely fast by not relying on the use of Hand seals but, because it still requires the user to perform hand gestures to use and is somewhat visible in the effect it produces, it can still be defended against by using appropriate evasion techniques or fast elemental ninjutsu.

Keotsu smirked as Zero withdrew a scroll and tossed it into the air - the battle was to begin! Unsheathing Mythos, Keotsu swung his blade and released a burst of wind, the elemental Kenjutsu technique empowered by his legendary sword. The burst of wind would meet the hail of blinding light and deflect the weapons within, creating a safeguard for Keotsu.

Zero's actions were not lost on Keotsu, though; he had bounded towards him, towards the floating rocks that bridge the gap between their two islands, and swung his hand. Though he didn't have a true elemental affinity for it, he recognized the technique as Wind Blade; as far as Ninjutsu went, Fuuton was Keotsu's favored element.

Slashing his blade once more, horizontally this time, Keotsu released yet another empowered blast of wind, meeting Zero's attack and clashing with it, the two gusts of wind neutralizing each other.

It seemed Zero wish to bring the fight to Keotsu's island - which was largely barren save the large lake in the center that spewed water over the edges of the floating stone mass in some places...so be it.

Keotsu leapt backwards, landing upon the surface of the water and giving Zero the space he needed for his approach.

The message in the action was clear.

"Come and get me."

Rank: N/A
Type: Weapon
Range: N/A
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage: +20 to Kenjutsu and Command Arts
Description: "The Blade of Heaven...Mythos the Life Sabre. One of the Ten Shinning Weapons." When Keotsu returned to the known continent from his journey to regions unknown, he returned with his blade Mythos in a new form; some secret event took place which reconfigured the blade and created a powerful connection between Keotsu and the sword. The Mythril blade retained its ability to change it's shape, but not its mass when subjected to Keotsu's chakras, as did the scabbard of the weapon, though the two were no longer explicitly linked. A few improvements were noted by Keotsu, though: the blade seemed to resonate better than before, boosting his powers in battle; second, the blade came to reject energies that were foreign to Keotsu - that's to say, for example, if an enemy tried to use Nagashi after grabbing the blade, the energy would stop completely due to the nature of the blade's composition. This particular power comes about from the blade's new found synergy with Keotsu, in an effort to prevent it from being used against him. Retaining all the properties of the metal it was forged from, Mythos is indestructible and will never dull, in any of its forms.
*The user can manipulate the blade’s form during battle at any time, but it costs 35 chakra to do so, and also counts towards one of that turn’s three allotted moves.
*Can only be wielded by Keotsu. When someone else tries to hold the blade, it will reject their chakra and increase its density exponentially, making it too heavy to be lifted. However, it reverts to its original density when Keotsu is holding it.
*While the sword can transform into different types of weapons, like a katana or spear, it is bound by its mass, meaning that the form it takes on has to be within the realms of creating from the same amount of matter.
*While Mythos is in hand, Keotsu is unable to cast Genjutsu at all.

His intention was straightforward and easy so see through, and keotsu surely didn't miss it. He'd willing invited Zero onto the water's surface of the island, and he accepted without complaint. He grasped the sheath of his sword with his left hand, and pressed lightly against the tsuba. His right hand firmly gripped the hilt as he moved his left leg backwards. For a moment the ripples on the water's surface were the only thing that seemed to be moving, but then it happened.

It was quick...No.....Almost instantly his blade was drawn and swung in a diagonal manner, releasing a large arc of intense flame that roared towards Keotsu. As he dealt with the incoming arch of fire, Zero would perform a number of handseals and channel his chakra into the sky, causing dark clouds to gather and rain fell from the heavens. However, this wasn't your normal kind of rain, but a perception ninjutsu that would allow him to detect Keotsu, and bestow upon him an unlimited source from which he could form future techniques.
