A plateau. Reaching high above the canyon floor, too high for anyone to possibly survive the fall. Gray rock was the only feature here. Clouds slowly drifted by, almost close enough to touch. At the top, two men. One garbed in full samurai armor with three blades, one with baggy black clothing, topped off by a trench coat. They faced each other, men that both were born in the beautiful village of Kumogakure and yet fought as enemies. Harumune stretched his limbs, preparing himself. He snapped his elbows back and forwards twice. Soft clicks could be heard if the other man strained his hearing. Wrists flailed at their joints, bubbles of nitrogen between the bones burst, freeing up movement. Knees lifted, bent and snapped straight, placing a certain strain on the joint. Harumune's body twisted to the left and right, cracking his lower back. He then placed his hands in the middle of his back and bent backwards, hearing a series of snaps and pops that only he was privy to. He then sprung back up and flicked his zanbatou from his back. The great sword spun around his hand once while he used to to crack all his finger joints and then swapped to the other hand to do the same. Then, sword grasped tightly in his left hand, Harumune sped forward as fast as he could, to get a quick slash in at his opponent to disrupt their preparations. Jutsu Harumune's stats

Yuan scratched his head. It was a tough situation, to be sure. He had nothing on his person to identify himself as a shinobi of Kumogakure. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't tell the man he was from the same village. The seal on his tongue would throw his body straight into a state of paralysis if he started to spill anything about his true identity or his position. He had been so careful up till now. He had avoided Kumo shinobi successfully for so long. But he had been sloppy. This guy had caught sight of him and followed him. Yuan had gotten complacent in his home country. He had forgotten that he wasn't safe, even within the borders of Lightening Country. There were too many here who didn't, and couldn't know who he was. It really wasn't fair. He knew that the ANBU in Konohagakure wore those crazy masks. They were supposed to protect their identity, but though they did hide the wearer's personal identity, everyone in Konoha knew that they were of the ANBU from those masks, so they were protected from their own citizens. Kumo had decided to go with a slightly less-recognizable appearance. It made things a bit difficult. But, the situation was unavoidable now. His only option was to let the Kumo Chunin think that he was some rouge and make his escape when the timing was right. Turning his attention to the aforementioned shinobi standing before him, he quickly became aware of odd sounds coming from the other man. The man seemed to be popping and cracking all of his joints. The man probably figured that Yuan couldn't hear, but Yuan's advanced hearing skills could pick up on the cracking and snapping. His hearing was trained to pick up highly minute fluctuations in any number of sounds. It was an odd tactic to take, messing with one's joints. It could cause lasting damage. But then, who knew what it could do in the short term. The time for contemplation was quickly cut short. The shinobi in the armor jumped back, pulling the larger sword from his back. He then shot forward, dashing straight towards Yuan. Yuan had to react fast. He quickly leapt back, backpedalling ahead of the sword-wielding man. The man's speed was not unimpressive, but Yuan was slightly faster, and he was able to keep himself out of the large sword's reach for the time. Smirking, Yuan shouted, You know you still haven't introduced yourself, my friend! As he backpedaled, Yuan made a quick slew of hand seals preparing to repel the attack. Yuan's Stats

"I am sorry, how dishonorable of me. I am Date, Harumune. I would appreciate it if you gave me a name that isn't some stupid alias, because I'm not stupid. Feel free to call me Haru by the way." Haru replied chirpily. Harumune was certain that this person was the one he was searching for. He was the right height, the right tone. The hair colour was a bit off but that could be because of dye. He was going to bring this person in as the end of his mission, and that would be that. His payment would be transferred and he could buy himself an extra special meal. He just hoped the man was as pitiful as the mission description said. Although there were slight discrepancies, this should be the right person." he thought to himself. It was easy to notice that his opponent was just that extra bit faster than himself. That extra bit was enough to keep him from Harumune's one and a half meter (5 feet) sword. Haru decided that he would need to use that technique to keep up. He flicked the Zanabtou around to a reverse grip in his right hand and began forming some hand seals. As he did so, lightning ran over his body, concentrating itself at the joints and down his sword. The lightning soon disappeared below the skin, getting between the joints and hardened along the edge of his blade. But it wasn't over yet. Haru swung once more, but this time as he stepped forward in his run, he twisted his body and stretched out. His hyper mobility pushed his shoulder and elbow joints into a distorted looking position and his arm stretched out an extra ten centimeters (4 inches). He continued the movement by pushing his hip forward and leaning in toward his opponent. His armor clicked in high toned notes as his body contorted. Soon his reach was increased by an extra half a meter (1.6 feet), due to his upper body's height and the twisting from the hip, and he was swinging again. Jutsu

Yuan's smirk only widened. You can call me Shindara. I'm sorry Haru-kun, but I'm afraid thats all I can tell you! More clicking and clacking. Haru seemed to be getting a bit faster, and Yuan was surprised as the swordsman's entire body seemed to be extending. This was certainly an interesting ability. It clearly was some type of body manipulation. With the clacking and clicking he had done in the beginning, Yuan figured it had something to do with Haru's joints. But it seemed odd. If he was dislocating his joints, he should barely be able to move his arm, if at all. As Haru was moving in, matching Yuan's speed and stretching his body, Yuan suddenly dissolved into a cloud of cherry blossoms. Haru's blade would pierce only the air. The cherry blossoms fluttered away on the wind, moving to the right. Yuan reappeared to Haru's left several seconds later, a good 5 meters away. So tell me, Haru-kun. Why are you coming after me with such a will? What have I done wrong? Stomping his foot down against the ground, a bolt of lightening arced up from the ground at his feet, moving straight toward Haru before plunging into the ground once again. Bolts of lightening arced up and down through the ground heading right for Haru. |

Triumph showed cleanly on Harumune's face as his blade pierced the side of his opponent. He watched happily as sweet crimson erupted from the wound and splattered through the wind. Only it wasn't blood at all. His opponent as disintegrating. Shock quickly overtook the triumph in his expression as he watched this Shindara turn into an assortment of flower petals and float away from his attack. When the flower petals reconstructed his opponent's body, Haru had to think back. A genjutsu was the only logical explanation for such a feat. If this person was incredibly skilled in genjutsu, Haru knew he was in trouble. Haru was not very good at genjutsu, in fact he was horrible at it. If his opponent turned this into a battle of illusions, Harumune stood no chance. He listened respectfully as his opponent spoke but the whole time he expected another unreal illusion to happen. Another action or occurrence so bizarre that it had to be false. Alas, he was disappointed by his opponent as Shindara let loose a lower ranked Raiton technique which spiked lightning up from the ground toward Harumune. In response, he bent his arm at the elbow and pulled it back over his head, holding the zanbatou. He then locked his joints, making them unable to move thanks to a side effect of hyper mobility syndrome. Quickly unlocking his joints, his arm sprung forward in explosive power, smashing into the lightning erupting from the ground and throwing it back through the air toward his opponent. Now ninjutsu was something Haru could deal with. Bolts of lightning were commonplace in combat in Kaminari no Kuni, and Harumune was no stranger to defending against them. However now was the time to attack, before this bastard could cast another Genjutsu. But first he had to respect his opponent, a lack of respect was dishonorable. "I am coming after you as a mission lodged by a man in the countryside. You raided his farmhouse, raped his wife, slaughtered his cattle and took off with his harvest. You then proceeded to burn it along with the rest of the building. Now Haru dashed forward, swinging his zanbatou in an overhead slash before suddenly changing direction after the slash was complete. He proceeded the cut diagonally back the way he came toward the man's hip and then back across to the other side of the hip. He then finished the figure eight pattern by slashing back up toward the starting point. He continued to do this a following three times while pressing in closer to the man, rushing him with every ounce of speed he had. He knew he would have to crack his joints again soon if he was to maintain this level of flexibility and speed, so it had to end here. Jutsu

Yuan raised an eyebrow as his lightening technique was thrown back at him. He backpedaled to his right to avoid the arcing bolt moving back towards him. That was certainly interesting. He hadn't expected to see the man block a jutsu with his sword. It struck Yuan as odd that that had actually happened, seeing as how the blade was metal and all... Yuan's other eyebrow raised as he heard the charges against him from Haru. I'm supposed to have done all that, am I? I suppose it wouldn't do any good to tell you you've got the wrong man? Yuan made a quick slew of hand seals, and he took off to the right once more as Haru came swinging at him, this time with a slew of attacks. Yuan seemed to be slightly faster than before. He actually skidded as he came to a halt, once again quite a few meters away. Reaching into his jacket, he pulled out a slip of paper. Holding it between his right index and middle fingers, he made his hand into a seal. Yuan shouted, Kai! and threw the paper out in front of himself. The paper burst into a cloud of smoke that quickly enveloped a fourth of the mesa, masking Yuan from view. Jutsu
