Misty Reaches

ooc. ASDF THIS POST IS SO LONG IDK WHY
SOMEBODY STOP ME


Orochi saved the blonde chuunin's dignity by quickly averting his amber eyes just a heartbeat after she began to blush. Humiliating events would carry on to affect in new and varied ways throughout life, as long as the bearer held a decent memory span. If the gentle woman was to be placed on his task-squad, he would need to act as though he saw nothing. He didn't feel even the vaguest hint of embarrassment, that shameless jounin, as he never understood why some women acted in such a manner. He liked the sort of scrappy, feisty women that could put up a fight and play along with his long drawn-out games. Ina was too filled with poetic reveries. But they could be friends - the two seemed to balance each other out nicely, strengthening what the other lacked.

"It's alright though, because it shows the bounds of their love, though I wish she would do the old things we used to do."
His attention was drawn back to Ina, whose story seemed so devastatingly akin to his own. Words fell from her mouth like backlogged burdens, with uninhibited thoughts and feelings, light but heavy simultaneously. It seemingly as though she needed somebody to listen and completely understand. Orochi listened quietly, now fixing his gaze on the clipped horizon ahead where pointed mountains stood. "My mother is something like that. I always thought that she'd come around on her own time, although she never did. I don't know how to help." He ended simply, his straightforward words lacked any of the troubled beauty that Ina's did. Orochi didn't like getting personal on first appearances, there was a multitude of reasons for so.

The two were so very different - a conceit and a serene - yet their pasts closely mirrored one another's. He had always believed that experience was what created a person, how could the two be so unalike? At least Ina had evidently tried to dissect the meaning that stood beneath the ice-thin surface. Orochi had simply jumped to the conclusion that his mother was faint at heart. The jounin thought - he would be fated to be tender minded as well, which explained his continual stoic manner in attempt to cloak any shred of all-human compassion.
The woman before him was filled with a sort of light, despite loneliness and nostalgia rioting through the air like malaria, as though she was a quiet sort of rebel. A rebel against how Kirigakure demanded its shinobi to be reckless, quick to leap into the heart of battle. How could one like this survive in the writhing cesspool that was the world that shinobi inhibited? She was definitely strong within. Orochi found her fascinating, odd to say as he only found himself as a creature worthy of deep interest. Yet, he was not swayed. Logic and facts were needed to endure and thrive. Emotions didn't keep them safe - unsheathed swords and raw chakra did. That's how Orochi had survived through the rockiness of his own life. His burnished-copper occuli slid away from the mountains and rested again on Ina, who was lost in piety, gazing deeply into her teacup. He wouldn't have been surprised if she had coughed up a little pearl into that delicate cup after her thoroughly poignant string of verbosity. She sighed as though tiny breaths of happiness was slowly leaving the living vessel that enshrouded her soul. Even this blissful, sensitive chuunin owned some sadness deeply within. His own sorrows were complex, dark as night and hundreds of fathoms deep, and Orochi wasn't going to test the cold waters quite today.

" I was happy to be born here, because I too can become what I long to be. A strong Shinobi as my father was."
Her lips parted in another endearing smile, yet she glanced down, as though remembering the praise that Orochi had given more. Her dream wasn't particularly unique, but it was still ambitious. Orochi was reminded of one of his genins, a shy withdrawn one who yearned to be a strong ninja. Whatever his name was. It was a weird name (in his own condescending opinion), something like Romaji or whatever, he had forgotten. Where was that kid anyway?
"Well, dreams are a start." He paused, wondering if Ina had the drive to pursue her wishes, rather than others who sat around and wished aimlessly on the little stars at night. Orochi could vaguely remember him asking about his own genin team about their aspirations and whether they had the determination to carry through.
His words followed his quick train of thought, sounding quite abrupt, "It would be an interesting fight between you and Izo, fire against ice, but you're far too gentle to spar with a friend, aren't you?" There was a hint of teasing behind his sly tones, as though provoking a friendly scrap. The word 'gentle' had been formed with a push of deliberate expansion. Orochi obliged gladly, letting the tea maiden refill his cup with more steaming tea. His lips were drawn back in the very ghost of a rare smile, "But we're gonna have to get along if we're put on all slotted on missions-team, right?" He hadn't read Ina's mind, the Kirigakure jounin had only spoken his own. Although careful, he wasn't shy or inhibited in his speech.

"so what were your journey about?, and did you find what you were seeking?"
Orochi leaned back in his languid position, drinking the tea deeply in and closing his amber eyes. Only as a dramatic effect, though. Staying around Hina had rubbed some of her over-dramatics on him.
His head bowed, as though ghosts of horrible memories haunted his mind like the stairs of an old house. "Serious, private jounin things. It's all confidential stuff that only the Mizukage knows about... you didn't hear it from me, okay? There were giant blood-sucking leeches, fire-breathing dragons, lions with teeth that could have shamed a shark, even sharks that could walk on land. I was once carried off by a giant eagle to her eyrie when she tried to feed her hungry chicks. But I fought them off single-handedly, because I'm just too terrifically great. So thank me, otherwise the milk of concord would have been poured into this hell of a world." He explained with a thoroughly deadpan expression. Orochi could be quiet a poet with his words when he needed it for effect. There was a solemn nod before continuing, "There were cannibals swifter than the wind, sphinxes that spoke of such complex riddles that could have sent a philosophical genius babbling to a hospital, pirates that sailed in giant anglerfish rather than ships. I found the endless supply of treasure that I sought, along with the hand in marriage of a lady whose beauty is world-reknown. I hear that I had left a long string of brokenhearted ladies after news of this broke out. But that little beauty-queen had two hands, and there was another male on my assignment-team whom eyed her like a talking serpent eyeing young and innocent Eve." His honey-coloured eyes opened and his eyebrows lifted, in his great acting skills, his occuli had shifted spectrum and seemed a little darker. His voice dropped into a concentrated whisper and he leaned forward, much like one telling a big secret. "So we fought to the death. To prove my love for her, and to save her from this evidently dangerously greedy man. He was quite valiant and an equal opponent of my skills, so I died. But the lovely maiden cried magical tears over my death, which splashed over my wounds as I slowly died in her arms, and I was brought back into life. Because I am just too great. I returned to battle, and used his bones to whittle an engagement ring to my fair lady later on."
Of course, he was simply playing. Whilst on-duty, Orochi would have never even dreamed about fooling around as so. "And what have you two done with your lives? If you're put on missions with me, you're bound to have grand adventures as so."

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

Ina watched as ice laid upon the ground beside her. She looked up to Izo, her eyes a little filled with sadness. Though she too thought it was a bit much to sculpt her, she admired the gesture. "You should always be proud of your art. Even though it is not what you want or expect, it is still yours, and mistakes are most beautiful because of the thought and the way they help you grow." She smiled at him, her eyes closing and then re-opening. "I would have accepted your gift with joy, Izo, so next time, no matter how you think it looks, if you wish to give it to me, then please do. I don't receive many gifts, so I will love them full heartedly!" She smiled at him once more.

Ina looked over to Orochi as he spoke. 'His mother is the same?' She thought to herself, her hand leaving her cup and laying it over her heart. "I'm sorry Orochi. I used to think that as well. I would constantly tell myself, she'll come around, just one more day. But after years passed, the notion became a thing of the past." She closed her eyes again for a short time and then opened them with a smile to Orochi. "Perhaps one day we will find a cure for this type of sickness, and then we will both have our mothers again." She nodded as to say that was going to be her plan, though in her mind, she doubted a cure would ever be found. It was a hopeless dream, but a dream still, so she would keep it in her mind for no one truly knew what would happen.

Ina found herself astonished with Orochi. They seemed so different, his mind and hers, yet their stories were vaguely the same even though she didn't know his whole story. She looked at him for a moment, thinking of what his past was like. She wished to know, though for a first meeting it seemed like the possibility of him restating his whole past before her was slim to none, and she would not push such a thing on anyone, as she wouldn't want it pushed on her, instead, she just watched him, wondering about him. The words he spoke next had her wondering. To her, they were not simply just dreams, but something she had been pursuing for most of her life. She looked at him and nodded. "Yes, dreams are a start, but they are not just my dreams, they are what I have been pursuing. They are the reason that I train everyday. One day, I will perfect my Kekkai Genkai, just as my father did, and though I am not too keen on fighting, I will defend the innocence who are thrown into the lines of fire unwillingly. My dream is not simply to be a Shinobi, Orochi, my true dream is to be a Peacemaking Shinobi. One who does not fight without purpose. One who uses words above all else. I fight when my opponent gives me no choice. To fight for what is right within my own heart. That, is my Shinobi way." Her voice sounded calm as she spoke, but the intensity in her calm voice would have been frightful if she was speaking about killing. She had heard a man speak with such an intensity in his voice. It had been the man who murdered his father without any worry in his mind. He killed for a thrill, not because it was necessary.

Then he spoke again, and she felt a small flame flicker inside of her and she sipped the rest of her tea, not allowing it to calm her. She simply looked at him and let out an odd smirk, a devious smirk. "If I did not have any trouble sparring with my father, what makes you think I would have any trouble sparring with my friends?" She asked, a strange gleam in her eyes. Suddenly, she felt as though she wanted to train. She felt the fires bellowing in the depths of her stomach, wanting to be released. It felt exhilarating, that feeling. Though she did not like to fight unnecessarily, she still loved the thrill of fighting. She loved to feel the burn of her training, rippling her chakra as it grew. She felt her need for a fight wanting to explode right out of her. "You may be a Jounin, but I will spar with both of you if you are really that enticed to see the fires within me." She smirked again. She knew she was acting strange, but something about his words fueled the fire buried within her, now she had a need that needed to be fulfilled. Her words were soon interrupted by Izo's question, as the Jounin answered.

As if she were bipolar, she switched from being a crazy person in need of a thrill, to a little girl, awaiting the stories she was about to here. She nodded to Izo about his question to her and poured him a cup of tea, awaiting the story Orochi was about to tell. As he began to spoke, she was enthralled in his tellings, but she felt as though he was just telling a story and not speaking of an actual mission. Though she didn't know if it were true or not, she opened her ears and allowed the story to fill her head. Such whimsical creatures had caught her attention. She felt her body lean forward as every word drew her closer to his story. She did not believe that this was his mission. It was just simply a long tale he told them to avert them from asking about, or forgetting about his mission. She assumed that was the reason anyways. When a strong team was sent on a mission, normally they were serious, and private, so she believed that part, though she had a hard time believing the rest, s much so that when he spoke of his marriage and Resurrection, she began to burst out in laughter. She felt tears stream down her face and when he finished, she felt her hands wipe them away as he asked them what they had done with their lives.

Ina tried so hard not to laugh as she acted like the heartbroken girls she had spoken about. "Oh my Orochi, it is a shame that you had to marry such a woman, I would have hoped that you would have asked for my hand with such a grand tale as that!" She could no longer hold it. She felt the laughter as she felt her back hit the ground. She laughed so hard she couldn't believe it.

When she finally picked herself up, wiping more tears from her face, taking long heavy breaths to contain her laughter, she looked at him again. "With missions like that, I would happily follow you on any and every mission. I seem to get dull, boring missions, though the rare opportunity does come where I get to fight off bandits or something small like a human being. Never a shark-man or a giant eagle!" She let out a small giggle and then remember words that he had said before, when she had been lost in her thoughts. "I would like to be put on a real mission with the two of you. I think we would make a grand team!" She nodded, forgetting all the sad things, and her lust for a spar, and all other things. She felt happy and alive talking with the two of them. She felt as though she had been accepted by the two, even though none of them really knew anything about one another. Small things here and there but not all. She wondered the tales each man could tell, and wondered if by chance her tales would intrigue either of them, yet that was all she could do at the moment, was wonder.

"You should always be proud of your art. Even though it is not what you want or expect, it is still yours, and mistakes are most beautiful because of the thought and the way they help you grow."
Izo looked at ina with a smile "i rememberer that for next time when i decide to make something that i just have to bring it to you when its done" he said smiling at her when Orochi started telling his story of his mission and Izo looked at him quite amazed and also a little jealous over all those things he had been up again, "i wish i had been able to see those giant blood-sucking leeches & fire-breathing dragons, lions and walking sharks could have been so cool to see one of one of these creatures even tho it sounds more like a fairy tail then your mission Orochi" izo said while laughing a little not quite near as much as Ina were

"Perhaps one day we will find a cure for this type of sickness, and then we will both have our mothers again."
as izo heard Ina say it he smiled happy, "ina maybe we can try bring my mother over to your mother someday so they maybe could talk again maybe aki can get your mom out of her sadness, your mother probably don't even know that she been beaten and sent to the hospital a few times maybe that can get her toughs of your fathers death" he said trying to find a way to maybe help Ina's mother out, ~it might just work to make mother Aki feel more safe at home if she could start meeting with some of her old friends again~ he thought in his mind

"It would be an interesting fight between you and Izo, fire against ice, but you're far too gentle to spar with a friend, aren't you?"
as Izo heard Orochi ask the question he smiled and soon after Ina said
"If I did not have any trouble sparring with my father, what makes you think I would have any trouble sparring with my friends?"
Izo were happy she were not against it "so Orochi you would love to see a tea maiden and a guy who makes ice sculptures fight?" he said and giggled, " i would gladly try out a fight with a fire user that would be my first time against one, i just have to watch out since i cant use my ice for much against a fire user it would melt almost instantly" he said with a smirk and looked over at Ina, "so Orochi would you be the judge in this sparring since it would be unfair for a jounin who been on such an adventure to help you need some rest after all"

[vanessa ☯]

The woman offered a spectre-thin ray of hope that a cure for a broken heart could be discovered. Inside, Orochi hoped that some brilliant medic-nin would somehow find a herb holding the properties to somehow mend a shattered life - but that was hopeless. Life was hopeless, Orochi was hopeless himself. The male closed his dark amber eyes and shook his head - not in a wordless reply to Ina, but to clear the troubling thoughts that had somehow filtered through the clean no-nonsense mesh of his adult mind.
"I... we'll see." He replied simply, it was evident that strong emotions disorientated his logic-based mind profoundly. He opened his honey-coloured eyes to seeing Ina smile once more. There was a sadness behind this smile though, and Orochi found himself vaguely guilty that had had indirectly inflicted this sorrow onto the joyful woman. Maybe being on a missions-team together would be a terrible idea - the two seemed to effect each other on an emotional level that was inappropriate for any setting beyond spending time as friends. But the Kirigakure jounin was tired and off-duty, that was the only reason why he spoke of such arbitrary things as mothers and lovely brides, he presumed a stoic and impassible persona whenever on a real task without being aware of his own habit. Plus, after being on a mission for so long and keeping his lips sealed from spies, he needed some time to talk about pleasantries.

" To fight for what is right within my own heart. That, is my Shinobi way." Her voice was ominously soft, yet curiously passionate, which ebbed a weary sort of surprise in Orochi.
His only dream was to be recognized, as a great and fearful figure. Orochi Ihara of Kirigakure... to be adored and followed as an symbol of power to the young generations of shinobi. He wasn't necessarily a horrible person for wanting attention and adoration, his power would set an example for others, but his dream was definitely a selfish and arrogant one. He couldn't understand why the blonde chuunin before him simply wanted to do what was right and moral, people like that hardly ever left a legacy behind. Ina was just a different breed, Orochi supposed.
"I haven't the slightest clue on what you mean, and I won't pretend. Your dream is far different from mine." The handsome jounin answered slowly and honestly. He wore a pensive look upon the lines of his face, "In this world, the right choice is never clear... or easy. It might not even be merciful or moral. But I wish you luck on your less-travelled path." Despite his arrogance, Orochi really wasn't a bad person. He was a loyal, fully-functioning member of Kirigakure despite his lack of respect for traditions and law. He never sat back to ponder on what was morally 'right', he only sought after what tugged his own interest and needs.
Quickly shifting from her words of passion and righteousness, the brilliantly sapphire-hued eyes of the chuunin sparked with flame at the mention of sparring. Another faint trace of a smile crossed his face. "Two against one? No fair for you, but I'd be happy to oblige if you insist on your skills." Ina seemed hungry for release, that exhilarating heat of battle, like a famished fox was for rabbit.

"Oh my Orochi, it is a shame that you had to marry such a woman, I would have hoped that you would have asked for my hand with such a grand tale as that!"
The jounin felt pleased that his new friend had responded so vibrantly in his little tale... and Orochi finally smiled in return as tears streamed down her pretty, laughing face. It was a genuine smile that reached his honey-coloured eyes, that created the appearance of a young and foolish Orochi. The little grin had vanished as soon as one could be sure that it was ever there, though. "That's a generous offer that any right-minded man would quickly accept, Ina..." Unconsciously, the jounin's resin-hued eyes quickly flitted over to Izo for a bare heartbeat. "But I have to decline. I promised myself that I'd only marry after meeting true love, and it has been found. I know, because I'll gladly suffer injuries for her." His baritone voice was caught between a silky purr and a murmur now, echoing as though he was a passionate actor standing on stage. Girls seemed to like that sappy stuff. The male was only playing though - there had been no real maiden and the bond between him and Hina was expected to end, due to the lack of any real connection and substantial physical distance. Sunagakure was very far away, and their two countries weren't particularly allies at any rate.

"I would like to be put on a real mission with the two of you. I think we would make a grand team!"
"I'll see what I can do about being put on a squad with you two." He answered, his voice returning back to how it normally was - businesslike and serious. At the thought of going back to work, even his posture seemed to straighten. "With our different capabilities, it would be interesting to see our styles of fighting merge."

"so Orochi would you be the judge in this sparring since it would be unfair for a jounin who been on such an adventure to help you need some rest after all"
The jounin returned to being casual and amiable, "Tea maidens against sculpture-carvers make the best fights, didn't you know? I'll gladly be the judge of this spar." Orochi finished the last of his tea and glanced up, head tilted slightly to the side. The stubborn jounin would have normally refuted against Izo's statement of him being too tired to participate in a friendly spar... but Orochi wanted to study the fighting amplitudes of the two.

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

Ina stared at Orochi. He seemed a little distant than he had a moment ago, though, so had she she was sure. She looked at him for a long while. It was strange to see a new side of him, even though they did not know each other well. She could tell that Orochi was thinking of his mother. How simple it would be to find a cure, though she too, knew that was not the case, and as Izo spoke she smiled to him. "Yes, perhaps that would help." She looked down again, doubting even that would help the woman who had ignored even her own daughter for 8 long years. She felt as though she would cry, but she shook back her tears.

As Orochi spoke to her, she looked over to him again. She smiled as most did not understand her ways of thinking. "Each and every person is different, and I wouldn't expect you, or anyone to understand my way of thinking, or why I am the way I am, but I, like all people, have my reasons. Let us not focus on such things now though, perhaps in the future I will explain to you what I mean." She felt her heart breaking, and she wasn't exactly sure why. She felt emotionally connected to this man, as though he was her best friend, or something, she wasn't even really sure about that. She wanted someone who knew her, and knew what she thought, and maybe even could tell her, but that was something that did not exist, as she knew she was one of a kind. To her, it felt lonely, though she supposed if she felt lonely, so did everyone else.

At Orochi's next words, she felt another drop of her heart. For some reason, it hurt her that the man was taken. She just smiled, and lost herself in her own thoughts. 'What am I thinking?' She thought to herself for a long while. She pursed her lips, thinking hard of all the things that had occurred in her mind at that moment. Perhaps she had grown a crush on Orochi. 'That's nonsense!' She thought again to herself, though she felt as though that thought wasn't true, like it was a taint in her mind. She looked over at Izo, and then back to Orochi, they were talking, 'about what?'

At that moment, her mind went back to their conversation, and as they ended the last bit of it, she caught on. Then she stood up and got into a ready stance. "It's been decided, let's go!" She smiled wide, and suddenly, her mind was focused on fighting, and nothing else. Her thoughts of crushes, and mothers and everything that had gone through her mind, it was gone and she was ready and willing to fight. "Bring it on Izo!" She yelled with a battle cry. 'This is what I need.'

[/size]

[Deleted]

"I'll see what I can do about being put on a squad with you two."
Izo heard Orochi say it and smiled "that could be lots of fun, to get you as our squad leader" he said and giggled happy, and took the last sip of his dead when he heard Orochi say.

"Tea maidens against sculpture-carvers make the best fights, didn't you know? I'll gladly be the judge of this spar."
"i did not really know that but always good to learn something new after all" he said and laughed happy and put his tea cup besides ina's as she got up and said
"Bring it on Izo!", giggled and got up as she had already taken up her fighting stance and were ready to set this party on fire, "Orochi were ready when you give the sign that we can start" Izo said and took his fighting stance placing his left leg behind and right upfront as he took out his dagger he had gotten from Aki when he gratuated the academy he were as ready as he could be, ~ this is gonna be a tough fight from my site ice user against a fire user, i gotta use some quick foot work to avoide as much as possible ~ he thought to him self keep his real secret from Ina and not going to tell her just yet

[vanessa ☯]

Orochi's expression became cold and impassive as the pale contours of his face hardened. It was as though his formerly amiable persona had been broken through, an ice-pick smashing through the frozen surface of a darkly rippling sea.
Missions weren't meant to be fun. They were business. Dangerous business entrusted to him by the Mizukage that needed to be completed by responsible, like-minded shinobi. Otherwise, unnecessary consequences may occur... such as creating decisions on a basis of personal values - like whether or not a kidnapped team member should be left behind. Heaven forbid those types of personal decisions.
Did this demure tea-maiden and giggling romantic understand that? Orochi sensed that they felt differently about the responsibilities of being assigned a task. Maybe it would be best to not even ask the Mizukage about being placed on a new team with them. Through his tangled emotions between friendship and duty, Orochi hadn't noticed the faint waves of sadness that emanated from Ina. The withdrawn jounin wouldn't have understood them even if he had noticed them.

Then he brought himself to full-height with hunched shoulders, a sign that he was still fatigued. "Alright, wait for my signal." Orochi said shortly, his words evidently stunted and straightforward. He regarded the two fighting poses through narrowed eyes. They were eager, not bad. He could definitely take this valuable time to study the two in their fighting styles and level of emotional control. Maybe they were fit to be on a missions-team with him after all.

The Kirigakure jounin bit deeply into his thumb, before pushing the sleeve of his right arm to reveal a summoning tattoo. The blood offering was streaked against his cold skin, before the summoned animal arrived in a deafening puff of smoke. A maned wolf sporting a muscular body and a sharply-angled frame that was more than twice the height of Orochi stood in the clearing of smoke. The wolf turned his pointed muzzle to Orochi, and the two dipped their heads like greeting an old friend. The Kirigakure jounin murmured shortly to the fox-wolf, who obliged silently by settling onto his haunches. Orochi climbed onto the maned-wolf's back; almost appearing lost within the thickness of his tough, dappled coat. There were no trees around so he could view this spar fully, so the back of his favourite summoning animal would do just fine. It would also help in clearing the ground for the two. Sitting upon the ground would have made it a little harder for the two to fight with full concentration if they needed to be wary of a person sharing the perimeters with them. He wouldn't have wanted to be caught within the crossfire.

"Proceed." Orochi positioned himself comfortably, sitting cross-legged on the top of Vaughan's flat head. The canine licked his chops, settling a good distance away from the two.



ooc. my character is just gonna watch quietly so you two won't need to wait for me to post until the spar is over. c:

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

Ina reached into a small cloth pocket within the innards of her dress and pulled out a stick of sorts. She waited until Orochi gave the signal and then, with a flick of her hand, she let out a fan. It was white, lined with brown flowers and bladed at the top of the fan. Lightly, as if she were on a cloud, she ran a few steps and jumped, seemingly floating in the air for a few seconds, before she began her attack above and came down with her fan atop Izo.

All thoughts were out of her head now. Ina knew that a battle, even just a spar with a friend was a serious notion, especially when the spar was being watched by a higher ranking ninja. She would give this battle her all and prove that she was worthy of a mission with the two. She would have to put all of her petty feelings aside and grow a thick skin because missions were dangerous. She hadn't been on many of them, not dangerous missions anyways, and with a jounin on the team, missions would become much more dangerous. She was ready to prove herself, and this spar would allow her that.

Izo looks at Ina as she pulls out her weapon that were a fan he smiled and put his hand in his tool bag and took out one of his special bombs then used bodt flick to jump away and throw the ice bomb into the air right beside Kitty as it explodes into a few hundred ice shards spreading out from where it is at a very high speed as he starts forming hand seals ready to see Ina's next move and dodge if he had the chance

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

As Izo moved, Ina automatically put herself into a rolling position. When Izo's bomb went off and the shards dispersed, she tucked and rolled herself into a ball, rolling away from the shards quickly. Soon after she jumped up quickly and prepared herself. Quickly, she focused on him and began to run towards him, but before she got to him she rolled to his side and blew out flames onto her blade, then began her attack. It would look as though she were dancing as she swung her blade gracefully, first the the left, then to the right.

She swung knowing her attack would hit him if he didn't dodge, though she knew he would, so she prepared herself for an opening. Watching him carefully to read his attacks. This maneuver was Ina's speciality. It generally gave her a chance to see what her opponent would do next and allow her planning time to make her move. She wanted the fight to end quickly, but with her on top. This was her best shot.

[Deleted]

Izo looked as Ina did avoide the ice shards gracefully Izo formed the last sign of his jutsu and formed a clone and rushed towards her instead of avoiding the attack both the ice clone and the real Izo were heading streight for here running from right to left changing place all the time as they came closer to Ina while the real izo were ready to slide to the side the second they were only getting close enugh to Ina to her weapon could hit to avoide it and cry cut her in the leg with his dagger while the ice could would proberbly be smashed into blocks of ice

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

Ina paused momentarily while Izo began to come at her, with a clone attached! She took a deep breath and as they got close, she got herself ready. There was only one thing she could do to avoid his attack, and as they got so close she could feel the cold from the clone, she jumped up in the air, twirling her body only slightly, bringing her fan across Izo's left shoulder. His clothes would catch fire slightly, though she was unsure whether she had cut him.

She landed smoothly, her back facing Izo's back. She then turned quickly and took a deep breath in, quickly performing a quick dance look. "She called out "dancing with boiling water no jutsu!" And a hard flowing stream of noiling water came rushing from her mouth and twisting to the right as she twisted her hand to the right. She took out the vlone, only flickering her eye movement slightly and quickly to see it melt, then her focus was back on Izo.

She twisted the stream to the let, only slightly moving the fan and then sent the stream firing straight towards Izo. She watched, unsure if the move would hit him, and peepared to dodge any attacks he threw at her. She could feel her chakra depleting gradually. She knew that she would only be able to use ninja techniques from this move onward.

Details This move uses boiling water that Ina can use and control as she sees fit. Mainly she will do a traditional Japanese dance, combining the fire to heat the water, and using her fan, as she spits out the fire to combine it with the water vortex, she can use her fan to control the water. It also drains her chakra, only allowing her to use it for a short time.

Izo looked up at Ina as she boiled his clone from above as he were sliding the opesite way and quickly formed a few hand sign and ice formed beneght him as the air around him starting getting so cold it started raining ice shards around him as he got shot 5 meter into the oppesite direction of Ina and as he got away he started forming hand signs again to get ready for Ina's next move not sure if she had a clue of what had just happend, ~ this is more fun then i had in mind hopefully we can do this another time ~ he thought to him self as the ground around him started turning into ice

Effect: With this technique this allows a user the capability and understanding of lowering temperatures around the user in a small radius to where the user is capable creating ice for other techniques for the users.

[Ina Ryoku Kama]

(My move was done from the ground not the air) Ina remained calm as Izo dodged her attack and before his raining ice shards could get at her she made it out of the way by rolling on the ground. She got up, looking at Izo. She took a breath and thought for a moment. 'What can I do?' She asked herself calmly. She watched Izo. He seemed to have a lot of chakra letft, and she would have to wait for hers to increase. 'For now,' Ina thought, "I'll have to focus on small attacks and blocking or I'll end up wearing myself out." She took another deep breath.

She made her way across the plains, preparing to block what Izo had planned. Before she reached him, she saw a patch of ice that was left behind and decided she would use it to her advantage. Instead of jumping again, like she had been previously planning, she slid across the ice, ducked and rolled bringing her blade upwards as she lunged at Izo. She aimed for his throat but would stop before cutting it. 'This better work!' She cried out in her head.

Izo looked at Ina that were sliding on his ice as he got done forming his hand seals and made an ice clone appear right behind Ina as both of them for a few quick hand seals and slammed there hands into the heard and said "Haryuu Mouko" as an tiger emerges from the ice both infront and behind Ina as the from the real Izo did jump towards her while the from behind would attack her from the side to not get hit by the jumping one making only very few possible ways to escape, Izo were smiling the whole time waiting to see if she would make cause she looked like she had used up quite some Chakra by now, he did fall to his knee's to catch his breath while the two tigers were heading towards Ina one from a blind spot and one from the front of her while the two tigers did freeze anything near there path as they were on there way to attack Ina
