Nagato Yenmojiretsu vs. Mei Haruko-Nara(finished)

[Rothailithin]

It is night in the vast desert surrounding the Village hidden in the Sand. Nagato is out with his Falcon practicing, when a wild Mei appeared. They are startled by each other and prepare for battle.

[Sondiame]

Mei grabbed out a Kunai and backed up to prepare for any oncoming attacks.

[Rothailithin]

Nagato extended right arm to the side. His falcon on his forearm, then flew high into the air, circling, ready to attack. Nagato then took out 6 shuriken, 3 in each hand.

[Sondiame]

Seeing how the moon was shining that night. Mei did the proper handseals and as her shadow began to expand, it became real." Shadow Sewing Technique!" She cried as her shadow split apart into many needle like pieces. They then went toward Nagato in from many angles.

[Rothailithin]

Nagato thought to himself,"I've heard of these types of jutsus before. They can only work if there is a light source so that shadows can appear. It's dark outside, but the moon is still shining. The jutsu would not be at full power, but it would still work. Although I have the advantage, I shouldn't let my guard down. It seem that I'm also at an advantage since my jutsus create light, suffocating the shadows. It seems all I need is to expend some chakra to flash a light and dissolve the jutsu. Excellent." Nagato prepared all 6 shuriken, and charged them with electricity them fired them at Mei. Lightning Shuriken!

[Sondiame]

Mei sighed. Though this was true, this wasn't at all the plan she had in this fight. She wasn't going to lose, she couldn't lose. She retracted in her shadow and jumped over to her left. "Endan!" She yelled as a jet of fire went toward Nagato.

[Rothailithin]

The flames and lightning shuriken were nearing, and both Shinobi knew neither would be slowed by the other. The main problem for Mei would be that the flame would hide the shuriken that Nagato had thrown at him. Neither had a distinct advantage at this moment, but Mei was less aware of when and where the shuriken would come from. In the middle of all of this, Nagato threw a kunai wrapped with a paper bomb into the sky, not yet ignited. He then jumped out of the way of the blast.

[Sondiame]

Mei was highly observant. Of course she had to see figure out his plan with the bird, but she had to also watch out for him. Close combat would be best for this situation. She ran toward him from the side of where her fireball was heading. She had an open palm style to her attack.

[Rothailithin]

Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique! Nagato shot ten fireballs at Mei, along with kunai wrapped in explosive tags(not yet triggered). He then jumped back to gain some extra space from the imminent explosions.

[Sondiame]

Faster Faster! She ran past the first three when the problems started. She jumped over the next one and only had enough time to spin around the next one. In this process her hood came on. She then quickly grabbed the kunai with the explosive tags and threw it at the next one. This ignited the rest of the fireballs and ended his attack. "I will show no more mercy." She told him as she saw his intent. He was lethal and crooked. She continued her pursuit toward him with her open palm style. He couldn't keep that range forever.

[Rothailithin]

"That's right, come closer.", Nagato thought to himself. He then sat down, crossed his legs and began making handsigns as he calld out their name. Ram, Boar, Dog, Bird, Hare. He then began to create a second set of handsigns. Before the first jutsu' effects began, the second's handsigns were called. Ram, Horse, Snake, Tiger.

[Sondiame]

Mei would stop to the immediate action. What was he doing? This was abnormal in a fight. She reached back as she slammed her palm into the sand, A poof of smoke would arise and from that smoke Mei would then be seen with her chainsword. "Shadow Snake Stab!" She yelled as she extended her sword out toward Nagato. As she then the blade became black as a Snake like shadow appeared over the blade and extended toward him.

[Rothailithin]

Too late! 4 stone pillars rose up from the ground around Mei and fired off electricity. While this was happening, a blinding flash came from Nagato, allowing him to rise and distance himself. Suddenly, a swift cutting of the air was heard. The kunai that was thrown earlier landed just behind Mei, and was already ignited. Nagato had sat because pulling off both of these Jutsus at the same time took out alot out of him at once, much like lifting a heavy weight once takes much more than lifting a weight half as heavy many times. As for the kunai, the falcon had caught it and waited for a flash, signaling for it to activate and drop it.

[Sondiame]

Mei smiled. This combo exhilarated her. Though she countered it with ease. "Body Flicker Technique. She would then be see on top of one of the pillars. The troubling thing about it was that she was almost in that attack . She looked around for the Falcon; it had to go. She timed her jumped and pounced on the bird like a Snake. She was trying to catch it.

[Rothailithin]

Nagato saw what was happening. He took out a smoke bomb and a shuriken. He threw the smoke bomb towards his hawk, jumped in the air vertically, then threw a kunai tied with combat string at the paper bomb. With his other hand he whistled two long and then one brief. The falcon immediately dove.
