Who will join me, for the Underworld's Tango?

[The Mockingjay]

Tango of the Underworld, To the sound of the 'Open Spar Blues'.
All Out, but let it build... Like in the anime, characters don't come out with the biggest and best attacks first turn.

A cold breeze whistles through the dull grey streets, the eery silence broken only by the cracks of glass beneath the fitted white boots of a figure. It is sunny above, but a dark cloud of ash still lingers beneath the cloud layer giving a murky grey undertone to the suns otherwise glimmering golden rays. A faint groan, no... A whimper echoes from a pile of rubble to the figures right hand side, as she turns her head to the sound a street light flickers, wasting the last of its energy to spark a glint in her eye. With the flick of a wrist, she lifts a large rock to reveal the face of a small child, his body crushed beneath layer upon layer or heavy concrete and the remains of furniture. His throat asked for help, but behind his eyes was death... A cruel way to go for one so young, but without a thought his eyes fell shut and his whimpers were silenced, just another broken body in the fractured world around it. Wiping the blood from her kunai, she slides it into her right boot and climbs up over the pile of earth.

Standing atop the rubble,

(outfit one) comes across a clearing which she assumed was once a lively town square. Now it was a grey square of concrete, a dust covered fountain rests in its centre, the water poisoned by the events around it. Stepping down from the rubble, the woman drops to a knee and grabs a handful of the loose dirt which covers the ground nearly a foot all around. Within the dirt is glass, thousands of small shards litter the surface of the earth giving a tricky terrain, and not one to be tested barefoot. The square is large, stretching long range in all directions from the fountain in the middle. Broken buildings and the remains of some small cars surround the square, it's main stretch is surprisingly empty.

Approaching the fountain, she looks down into the water. No face stares back at her. It is odd, how the vacancy of a reflection can make one feel so alone... Even when a reflection bares no presence anyway. She leaps delicately onto the water feature in the fountains centre, it appears to be half of a cherub, a half hearted spurting of water occasionally shoots from a sculpted section of stone which appears to have been a bow. From atop the sculpture, she stares out, looking around for life.

, walking through a deserted town to what seems to be an aftermath of a disaster, dead corpses everywhere, piles of rubble that can't be escaped from sight. He runs his fingers through the surface as he passes by the wreckage, trying to get a sense of what happened. To pick out signs of life, he focuses on his sensory abilities, detecting nothing but a single source of chakra. Making his way towards it, he found himself in a town square with a water fountain, and on its sculpted section of stone sees a woman, a beautiful one at that. Now that Tobirama was closer, he could accurately feel the empowering chakra from the skin tight lady with his unrivaled sensory skills, before confirming her heritage.

A Yamanaka huh?? He mumbled to himself as he approaches her.

[The Mockingjay]

It wasn't long before the silence was broken once again, the sound is consistent and strong... It stepped to a consistent rhythm. Was this the source of the destruction? It was clear that whatever it was that approached was not inside the town at the time of whatever catastrophe occurred here, it was too definite... Too sure. Peering toward the source of the noise, a figure joined her in the square. She was sure it had spotted her, but it had no intention to stop, it strode through the rubble with utmost confidence. Nothing so at home in this place could be ordinary, she knew she had come across the hunting ground of a powerful Shinobi... She knew she'd have a fight on her hands.

As he got closer and closer, his features became more and more defined. The spiked white hair and blue armor-like garments were significant of a warrior. A Konoha face-frame was clearly evident and displayed his village logo with pride, a Shinobi from her homeland? Interesting.

"It has been a while since I have seen or heard anything from my homeland... To come to a place such as this, you must have purpose. Tell me, what brought you here? Are you the cause of all this pain?"

She hops down from the fountain and approaches the man, leaving the water feature short range behind her by the time she stops. Mid range from him, she speaks once more.

"I was forced to kill a mere child upon my arrival. He pleaded with his words, his eyes tortured my soul with a gaze of pure innocence... But he had no chance... I had no choice. I held my blade to his heart and drove it deep."

She pauses.

"The lifeless body of one too kind for this world, spat blood upon my cheek. I did not come here to dirty my hands, especially in such a cruel manner..."

Her teary eyes clear, a grin replaces her sorrow.

"But even through all that... Part of my mind... Part of my heart loved it. Wiping the hope from his tears... Silencing the whispers of a new life from his breath... When I wiped his blood from my blade, I did not whimper. I did not move."

She lifts her hand, flashing her palm at the man. It is stained red with blood.

"I kept it with me... Smudged it across my palm and scratched into my memory. A constant reminder... To find more. There is a certain mindset that death puts you in... A peaceful bliss for both deceased and hunter. Please... Help me find paradise once more..."

She closes her hand in a fist and allows the grin to become a glare. With a single breath she activates her sonic hearing and waits for the mans response...

(Ototon: Naiteki Ne no Jutsu) - Sound Release: Inner Sonar Skill

Spoiler

Rank: D
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short-Long
Chakra Cost: 10 (-1 per turn)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: The user will enhance their hearing by infusing his ears with sound chakra. Then, by utilizing chakra and enfacing his lungs, the user will be able to control the frequency and intensity of the sound emitted from his simple breathing. This low frequency, inaudible sound is passively emitted and has no effect other than emerging from him and bouncing off of objects. Using the enhanced hearing, the user is able to know where everything is around them, effectively creating a sonar effect through the rebound and reflection of sound waves. The hearing and the sonar effect is precise enough so that one can effectively use it to substitute one's vision in battle if needed. Despite being very effective, specially if the user has any of his other senses hindered, it also leaves the opponent vulnerable to sound genjutsu or sound attacks which will be much more drastic in its effects.
Note: Lasts six turns

Soon after, the woman had notice his presence, turning around and began to speak as he stood there silent, arms crossed. Just by her first few sentences affirmed that she was a former villager just as he expected, a good thing too; anyone who murders a child in cold blood is someone that doesn't belong to his village. He gazes at her with disgust as she continues to monologue, not a word was spoken from his end. Witnessing the woman's instant change in her emotions from sorrow to grin truly repulses him, her blood filled palm was just a testament to that.

As she finally stopped for a response, Tobirama can sense a faint but enduring level of chakra pulsing from her and rebounding back and forth like ripples of water. How it behaves was not in anyway an attack or to cause an effect to him, but leading him to believe its some sort of sensing ability; almost like she's sending her chakra around to gather information. She is a cunning woman indeed, as much as she is menacing, he began to speak in a demanding tone, giving a level of superiority over her.

"This is certainly not a place to find paradise. Tell me Yamanaka...What do you know of this place?? What treachery has befallen this town??"

 

[The Mockingjay]

Just so you know, talking does effect the timeframe, I've never understood why it wouldn't. It's nonsensical.
----------

It was a wonderous thing, how in a time of dark disdain someone could try to be high and mighty. This place was not the place for a hero, it was the place where the demons dwell. Maybe at one point in time people smiled busily through the court, their children splashing around in the fountain as they go about their daily lives. But that was not the case anymore, it was a ghost town, a place without hope and without a soul. Ultear looked around as the man spoke, continuing to peer from broken building to broken building as she responded.

"I no not of the tragedy that occurred here. But I do know that this place howls... It doesn't sing. Don't you hear the whispers of the dead? They are all around, under every dislodged stone and in every fractured building, their eyes peer out, watching us. How do you think they see us?"

A sharp flick of the neck and her eyes are locked on him.

"You... A man, tired from a long life and uncaring of death. You step through here without even a shudder and speak of what is... Not what once was. You cross your arms, not as a shield... But as a sign, you are not interested. You ask me these questions but your eyes tell me that an answer would go nowhere to satisfying your need. You ask because you can, not because you must. You are but a void to this place."

She brings her hands back up to her face, peering into them.

"Then there is me... Alive to their every thought. I hear their words, I feel the torture that went on here. They look at me, and they see darkness. But they know I can hear them, they know I can feel them, and they understand I am human. Darkness is not always evil... Sometimes it is serenity and peace. Without darkness, we are unable to see light. I am a beacon here, my presence, in some way gives them hope for the future... They thought they had discovered what it felt like to be alone... Pitch black. But they were wrong... There is another level to darkness and as long as they don't slip into it... They can believe. As long as they have me to fear, they can hope. As long as I call to them... They can dream."

She drops her palms to her sides once more

"Tell me... How does it feel to be invisible? How does it feel to be meaningless? How does it feel, to be outshone by the epitome of darkness?"

She takes two steps back, gaze locked on him the whole time. She then forms a large amount of perfume behind her sending half of it hurtling toward the man and leaving the other half to fall down into the water, allowing it to spread out in the fountain. The perfume that flies is sent directly at the man, aimed to cover him entirely in the liquid. As it travels it spreads it scent, a wonderfully crafted scent of summer... The newly born grass and the untouched flower beds, as well as the fresh clear air that makes everyone want to jump in excitement... Even in this forgotten place, it is impossible not to smile.

He stared at the woman distaste as he grows more tired of listening to this woman's riddles that he did not care to understand, if she does not have any information to give then she's good as useless to him, just as much to listen to her talk.

Finally felt the intent for hostility as she took 2 steps backward, he watches her forming her pink concoction, something that sparked his curiosity as he never seen anything like it before. He could smell the strong aroma from it as she hurled the pink fluid it towards him, but reminded himself to stay focused on the matter at hand.

With his Suiton mastery, he quickly forms water beneath his feet, swiftly shifting himself sideways to his right while remaining in his stance as he had before, maintaining to face the woman directly. As he puts himself safely away from the pink liquid, he simultaneously executes a hand gesture forming a water vortex out of thin air that swirls around the dastardly woman before the water bursts her upwards, sending her flying up with internal injuries.

Type: Supplementary
Range: Short – Long

( Suiton: Arekuruu Hayase ) - Water Release: Raging Rapids

Spoiler

Rank: A
Type: Offensive
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra cost: 30
Damage points: 60
Description: Using their skills with Water Release, the user generates a powerful vortex of water around their enemy with a swing of their arm that sends them flying upwards and then dispels it with another hand gesture. (Requires a water source).
Note: Tobirama and Mei terumi can perform this without a water source.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Allowing the perfume to reach it's limits and fall to waste on the barren land, Ultear keeps an eye on the man as he uses water to launch himself to his right hand side. Following him with just her eyes, her body remains perfectly still. Readied. It is then that he swings his arm, she readies herself further, lowering her stance and bending her knees. Before the water can even be seen she notices a disturbance in the area around her, something deflecting her sound signal back earlier than usual. The signal is blocked from every direction and is spread round sporadically but the amount growing rapidly, thinking quickly she quickly causes the earth around her to rise up and form a tube just big enough for her body. With the earth forming as the vortex does so it would be difficult if not impossible for the man to see this happen.

(Doton: Iwa no Hogo) - Earth Release: Earth Shelter Technique

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Defensive
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 20
Damage points: N/A
Description: The user surrounds themselves with earth, taken from the immediate vicinity, in order to fabricate a formation of rock that is capable of protecting both the user and others in close proximity, if desired. Doing so, seemingly leaves the surrounding terrain unaltered, even when the quantity of earth used is enough to form a complete dome around multiple individuals as seen when Ittan used this technique. The user can also manipulate the resulting shelter to have openings in it so as to be able to observe outside, as demonstrated when used by Kitsuchi.

With the earth barrier shattering as the water explodes, it leaves nothing but rubble on te earth around the womans position, thus leaving the terrain seemingly unaltered as the ground was covered in rubble in the first place. As the water fades and the earth falls, nothing is visible where once there had been. The woman uses the cover of her barrier and the water in order to modify her body. Using her chakra she changes the way that any light hits her body, turning herself seemingly invisible just before the mans sight of her returns (or not).

(Meisaigakure no Jutsu) - Hiding with Camouflage Technique

Spoiler

Rank: A
Type: Supplementary
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30 (-10 per turn active)
Damage Points: N/A
Description: This is a ninja escape technique that allows the user after performing the Tiger hand seal to control how light is reflected around their body with chakra inflections. The technique also erases the user's scent and shadow, and is usable on any terrain, making it ideal not only for covert maneuvers but also offensive strikes. Perceiving the user's position is possible only for ninja who are astute enough to observe minute variations within their surrounding environment, such as distortions of air currents in the immediate vicinity or distinguishing sounds, i.e. footsteps etc. However, the usefulness of this ability can be entirely negated by those with special vision or sensory skills. The Second Tsuchikage, Mū's mastery of this technique helped earn him the moniker "Non-Person" seemingly having neither form nor chakra while the technique was active. Thus, he could not be sensed through traditional means.
Note: Technique lasts a total of 3 turns

Whilst invisible she forms the Yamanaka clans special handseal and locks her sight on the mans skull, lining up her shot before channeling any chakra. It only takes a moment for her to ready herself and with a shot of chakra, she is visible. And in full control of the mans body. She quickly forces him to run toward her, simultaneously drawing a kunai.

(Shinranshin No Jutsu) - Mind Derangement Technique

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short-Mid
Chakra Cost: 20
Damage Points: 40
Description: A ninjutsu where one sends their chakra into the subject's nervous system, thus operating the enemies body at will. The enemies this technique is cast upon are completely under the users' control as their bodies become disconnected from their will. The difference between this, and the Mind Body Switch Technique is, the caster doesn't project their consciousness into the enemies body. Situations of numerical superiority for the adversary are precisely where this technique, which freely manipulates human beings will display its efficiency, by getting the enemies to turn on one another. Control can be exerted even from a distance.
Note: Must be a member of the Yamanaka Clan or be taught by a member of the Yamanaka Clan. This jutsu can be broken but the opponent must pay double the chakra of this jutsu and remain in this jutsu for half of its turn value

With the kunai in hand, the man drives it through his own kneecap. Forcing him to the earth, only able to slde face first along the glass covered earth, coming to a halt at her feet, from where she drives a kunai of her own through his lower spine, shattering it and leaving him paralysed and at her mercy.
