[Red Alert] Eki ~ C-Rank Spirit

Post by Zao » Wed Mar 21, 2018 5:05 pm

[Image coming soon, giant black crocodile monitor lizard.]

Within the forest that neighbored the border of the great nation of Fire country, a dark skinned reptilian creature moved through the shadows of the country side stopping from time to time as it raised its slender head that had a triangular shape to it up, sniffing the air with its nostrils. Dark green saliva dripped from the center of its slender head as the ten meter long monitor lizard was drawn towards the smell of humans after escaping its prison in the desert and immediately fleeing to the east for some time. It could smell the delicate scent that belonged to a pair of girls who were outside their homes at a small village less than a few hundred meters away, though its stealthy movements allowed for it to advance rapidly through the natural shadows that covered the forest floor now. Eki was one spirit that after having tasted human flesh for the first time had become intoxicated by it and in the end it was this gluttony that had landed it within the confines of that spirit prison for some time. Luckily now she had escaped and the first thing it needed as a mid morning snack to start off her day right as a forked touch stretched out over two meters from the small opening were the upper and lower jaws came together. The same green saliva as before dripped off the forks of the tongue as the snake-like tongue tasted the partials in the air once more. "Mmm, it's been so long...."

Yozei bounded through the trees with a group of half a dozen Konoha shinobi, most genin but there was at least one Chunin and Special Jounin. He felt like he was in a dream, both excited and terrified at the news of this urgent situation and the fact that he would be among the first groups in. His dad and a squadron of Jounin had been sent in first, scouting out targets and engaging in higher level threats while reporting locations of weaker spirits, there wasn’t time for them to waste on every creature they encountered there were simply too many and so it was all hands on deck, even Genin getting a chance to get in on the action. They had been briefed on a handful of spirits that had been sighted along Fire Countries border and that was where they would start of course, defending their own land even as others pressed on into Oasis Country and further still to support allies in Wind Country.

Moving at a steady pace, Yozei glanced over his shoulder, making sure his blonde haired teammate was keeping up, even as others branched off in groups of two to fight targets along the way. “We’ll stick together, only engage targets estimated to be C-rank or lower” he re-affirmed, he knew Shizuku already knew this much but with adrenaline flowing and the enemies in the area it was helpful to re-focus the mind. The auburn haired boy heard a noise, by now the others had branched off searching for their own targets. Yozei raised a hand signaling a stop, “I think I heard something” he whispered, looking to the left. Sure enough a massive lizard emerged from the trees, when Yozei had heard spirits had escaped this wasn’t exactly what he pictured. It seemed more like an exotic, overgrown animal, perhaps this wasn’t one of their targets but rather a creature from Oasis country crossing into their forests. The sound he heard however had seemed to be a voice, last time he checked animals couldn’t talk. “We don’t know what this is capable of but it looks dangerous” he whispered lowly. “Are you one of those spirits that escaped?” he inquired, it didn’t hurt to try right? At least verify that it was one of the beings they had been sent to quell. The young Genin slowly drew his sword, standing ahead and to Shizuku’s left in a slightly protective stance. His heart pounded with adrenaline and his hands felt a little shaky but he figured that the nerves would wear off if he was forced to fight. He had never actually felt like his life might be on the line before, this would be his first real test.

To say that Shizuku was nervous for this would be an understatement, she was absolutely terrified, but at the same time she was excited. Sure she had engaged in a few spars in her time and gone on a couple of simple missions but this would be her first taste of real combat, where her skills would really be put to the test, against spirits no less. Luckily she wasn't alone in this endeavor, she and Yozei having been sent out as a pair. Granted they were part of a much larger group but the others had split off to fight their own battles some time ago, leaving them to deal with whatever threats they found on their own.

"Right." She spoke in confirmation as Yozei spoke to her, the pair progressing at a steady pace. They had been given very clear instructions to engage only targets that they could handle and not to take any unnecessary risks and even she knew just how very important that was to keep in mind. She had to wonder though what exactly they would find. She had no idea what a spirit could possibly look like, though she had heard that there were many that otherwise took the form of normal animals, which only made their job that much harder.

Suddenly she heard a voice, Yozei seeming to have heard it too as he signaled for her to stop and then.. confirmed as much. Looking to the left alongside her teammate, her eyes grew wide at the sight of a massive lizard emerging from the trees. "Y..yeah. It's definitely dangerous." She was fairly certain that it was one of the spirits they were looking for, after all there were no other animals anywhere to be found, but even if it wasn't this was still probably something that they would have to take care of, though it would be a lot easier if it was a normal animal. Frankly, she was more afraid than ever, literally shaking in her boots even, but she pushed it down as best she could and prepared herself for a fight from her position behind Yozei, wondering all the while which side would be making the first move.

'Eh...' As it had emerged the creature had not expected to run into anyone except for the villagers and the spirit knew that they were shinobi from a simple glance from the way they moved and dressed as a young male spoke toward her now. But the lizard's dark green eyes shifted straight past him and onto the blonde headed girl as a bit of drool actually managed to drip from the large reptiles mouth at the sight. The villager's could have been considered a four or five on her food scale but a female shinobi was a eight or nine for the creature as without a single word in response the ten meter long lizard burst forward at full speed as its mouth had started to slack open revealing fine teeth that curved backwards into the mouth. The forked tongue moved in and out of the open mouth rapidly tasting the scent of Shizuku. What a delectable meal this little girl would make for her! Finally the pair would be able to hear the sinister words that escaped the female lizards mouth with a rather raspy tone, "I love it when my food is delivered to me!" Staying low to the ground the creature attempted to skirt around the boy and attack straight for the female genin trying to land a bite on her leg.

Yozei’s eyes widened as the lizard surged forward, it moved more quickly than he had anticipated but he could adjust accordingly, keeping his guard up as he instinctively chanelled chakra into his blade. The sword erupted with flames, condensed and controlled the fire clung to his blade, giving the metal a vibrant red glow. The auburn-haired boy readied himself to slash at the creatures face but noticed as it closed in that it was attempting to move past him and strike Shizuku, perhaps it had seen the girl as easy prey or maybe it simply liked her scent, regardless it was not a wise move to leave one exposed to a combatant. As the large lizard moved next to Yozei the teenager should pivot and then lunge forward, aiming to slash upward at the right side of the creatures neck and follow through with a downward slash that he would aim to drag across the beasts chest and side, attempting to use its own momentum and speed to slice open its insides and create a much larger wound than if Yozei had been forced to rely on his own range of motion. It was likely that he wouldn’t be able to stop the creature from biting Shizuku but at the very least he was almost certain to make it pay dearly, either severely injuring or even killing the creature.

Hopefully Shizuku would have some way of defending herself from the bite itself and the forward momentum of the 30ft long lizard. “Shizuku, are you alright?” he called out in concern, not daring to take his eyes off the creature and should his strike land true he would promptly remove his blade, the flames aiding in its cutting ability and allowing him to pull in and out of flesh with almost no resistance. The Genin would attempt to back away and further assess the situation, his fiery blade again held to in a way to guard the center line of his body. He had noted the way the lizard had spoken. This was definitely a spirit and it was quite aggressive, one way or another they had to bring the beast down. Luckily it didn’t seem too far out of their league, it was quick but seemed fairly simple-minded, very much like a predatory animal rather than a more ancient or intelligent spirit that had strong ties to chakra. That was also an indication that it was fairly low ranked.
Jutsu UsedShow
Katon • Scorching Blade
Prerequisite: Heated Blade

By channelling chakra into a metal weapon or blade the user will cause it to glow a deep red as condensed flames envelop the balde, refining their Katon chakra to enhance the strength of their weapon.

It was definitely a spirit that they were facing.. a very fast spirit at that, and it seemed to be aiming right towards her. Frankly, she was absolutely terrified but this wasn't a time to be freezing up in terror, even as much as she really wanted to. She wasn't quite ready to be food and so by the time it moved she had already began forming hand seals, having learned some new techniques that would surely prove useful in a situation like this. Now, she wasn't the fastest but still with her skill in Ninjutsu combined with Yozei's assault surely slowing down the beast she should have had just enough time to get her technique off. "I'm fine! I have an idea but you should watch out." she shouted over to Yozei, leaping back several feet and grinning as a gust of wind whipped up around the spirit, forming into a tornado that would cut away at it and hopefully hold it back even if just a little, at least long enough for them to regroup and get an attack or two in. "Phew that was close. I was almost gator food."
JutsuShow
*Fuuton • Tornado Trap
C-Ranked Fuuton Jutsu
The user will first perform the required hand seals and then gather wind around an opponent. This will form a tornado around them at a speed of 12 which extends 10m into the air and has a radius of 3m. The tornado will push back anything that touches it with a strength of 8, while also cutting at whatever tries to push through as well as a kunai would with the same strength. This technique lasts for 4 posts.

The woman was lucky indeed, as the creature had its leg nearly severed as it attempted to maneuver around the fiery blade strike from the shinobi, having let its lust and greed take control resulting in an injury as the creature had to push away to avoid the second blade strike that narrowly missed the creatures. Being closer to the girl it felt the wind attack striking at it now forcing it back slightly as well, spinning its body the powerful tail fought against the winds as it swung through to deliver a powerful blow towards the left side of Shizuku if she wasn't able to avoid it. It's head facing the body as it slide back with the tail strike the mouth opened revealing a set of reverse curved teeth meant for holding down prey as three globs of purple good about six inches across were launched at a speed of five towards the sword wielder. The left front limb that had been injured in the first clash could already be seen slowly healing, most likely it would only take a short while for it to fully heal and allow for the creature to go back on the full offensive.

Yozei felt the satisfying resistance as his sword cleaved into the lizards left leg, it wasn’t enough to sever it completely but it did force the creature to take a wider birth and slow it down long enough for Shizuku to begin forming seals and make some space. The auburn haired genin nodded “Okay!” he said as he leapt backwards at the last second after the yamanaka girl gave him a moment of warning. His eyes widened, surprised by the ferocious winds that sliced at the large reptile. ‘Since when can Shizuku use Fuuton?’ he wondered, he had no idea she possessed such a skillset, evidently she had been training fervently. With nearly 2/3rds of the creature trapped within the slicing winds it was sure to take some hefty wounds though clearly it was fairly resilient and even seemed to heal quickly. Nonethless there had to be a limit to how much it could endure. The teenage Genin would channel chakra into thr ground around him, sword still held defensively from about 5 meters away from the lizard. He had intended to use his jutsu to keep the beast trapped within the winds though surprisingly it didn’t move out of harms way, instead aiming to strike Shizuku with its tail so instead Yozei shoved the creature backwards with his doton jutsu, utilizing impressive strength to put a great deal of force on its injured leg, rotating it against the direction of the swing of its tail and thus hopefully spin the creature slightly, taking away much of its movement.

As the beast attempted to recover and turn again to face Yozei, spitting out globs of what appeared to be poisonous saliva the Genin reacted instinctively, channeling chakra to his lungs and expelling a torrent of sparks that would explode on impact with the globs and disperse and negate their force. There was little he could do as far as close range combat with the winds persisting so instead Yozei relinquished the flames on his sword, sheathing the weapon and forming a set of hand seals as he jumped back another 3 meters. Holding out his arm after completing the seals he would fire a flare of katon chakra at the creature which would explode within the tornado and potentially envelop the creature in an explosive plume of flames, enhanced by the biting winds. “Keep it up Shizuku, we almost have him!” he encouraged, grabbing an explosive tagged kunai and tossing it in to the mix for good measure. An additional handseal and it would explode, hopefully being enough to bring down the beast.
Jutsu UsedShow
[Earth Element • Earth Flow]
C-Ranked Ninjutsu
This simple jutsu only requires the channeling of chakra and contact with the earth within a 15m radius of the designated section of earth. The affected earth can only be at a maximum of 5 feet by 3 feet and 1 foot deep. By flowing chakra intro the ground the user can cause this section of earth to shift suddenly at a speed of 8 with a pulling strength of 12 in an attempt to knock an opponent off balance or put strain on their knee or ankle.

Katon • Flickering Embers
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After channeling Katon chakra through his chest and into his mouth the user will exhale, producing a breath of hundreds of minuscule Katon embers. These embers while only capable of minor first degree burns can easily set aflame combustible materials. The maximum range of this technique is 5 meters and they travel at a speed of 5 and explode with a cumulative D-rank force upon impact.

Katon • Signal Flare
D-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming a brief set of hand seals the user will focus chakra to his hand and raise his arm, firing off a 1ft long plume of fire that travels at a speed of 5. If aimed at the sky it will hover for a maximum of 4 posts, the maximum distance this flame can travel is 10 meters. After four posts or with an additional hand seal the flare will explode with D-rank force. The light produced is noticeable from a great distance though not enough to blind anyone unless perhaps they were to stare directly at it on a dark night. In such a case it is capable of illuminating a 30ft radius in a soft red glow.

Shizuku's eyes grew wide as the spirit chose to attack rather than get out of danger, feeling even more surprise as it whipped its tail at her... and shot what seemed to be poisonous gunk at Yozei. It was a nerve wracking situation but luckily thanks to her newly learned jutsu slicing away, which she had noticed her teammate seeming to be very surprised by, and Yozei making efforts to further slow it down, Shizuku was able to narrowly dodge the beast's tail with a quick leap back and to the side, though not without witnessing it fly mere inches away from her body. That had been too close.. she wasn't sure if she would have been able to stand again if she had taken a blow like that with any amount of force. Luckily she and Yozei had avoided injury and all the while her jutsu seemed to be doing quite well in injuring the beast, even if it was continuously healing.

Not wanting to waste any time, her hands once more flew into a set of seals, grinning as she watched her tornado go up in flames, likely hurting their foe a great deal. It seemed that they would definitely have to fight at a distance now so as not to get burnt by their own tactics but that was just fine, even with its size there was no way it could effectively fight them like this. "Right! Together we can take this thing down with ease." she responded to her teammate's encouragement, taking a deep breath and exhaling a ball of flame and aiming directly towards where the spirit must have been standing, hoping to directly injure it but knowing that at the very least it would succeed in adding fuel to the flames.

Now.. what would happen next? It surely couldn't take much more of a beating but she had to wonder if it had any tricks up its sleeve.

"Argh!" The creature grunted just as it had let out the three globules of poison saliva now, it's left leg had been caught in the turning earth causing for the lizard to miss the intended target with its tail now. It's green and black eyes seemed to be able to focus on each of the shinobi at once now as the tip of the tail after missing the female genin altered its course driving the tip of the tail a few feet into the ground with a heavy thud sound, cracking and splintering the earth as it did so. Her wind technique was slowly grinding away at its resistant leather like scaly skin as small cuts started to form deep enough to draw forth its dark red blood in thin lines across the body. With its left leg stuck in the earth it was to weak to pull it free and so it chose life over limb at this point as its poison spit had been met with fire canceling out its flight towards the other shinobi fighting against it.

'I have to move!' The creature knew the feeling of danger as part of its body was being assaulted by the wind technique that mad it hard to move but not impossible to, but its green stripped eyes could see that flame techniques headed toward it now and knew it had to do something fast. Using its anchored tail and free legs its instantly forced itself backwards as the sick, ripping sound of flesh could be heard as the creature leaped backwards now about five meters in turn ripping off the injured leg that was trapped in the doton technique. Drip, drip. Their were numerous small cuts that had been able to slice away at the thick skin of the lizard until some had cut through enough to draw blood which now dripped off the creature's body in a handful of spots onto the ground below. Even with three legs the spirit didn't appear to have lost to much control over its body. As it landed the creature's throat swelled a bit before the large teeth filled mouth opened an the creature exhaled a cloud of purple gas, that spread out in a cone like fashion up to ten meters away being ten meters wide at the end of the cone.

Though the gas was only mildly poison-ness and would just cause blurred vision and coughing for those that came into contact with it, the creature was just trying to by some time and keep his distance as the leg once more started to slowly regenerate. Focusing all its regenerative powers on the leg an foregoing the other minor wounds. Knowing that it didn't have the stamina to regenerate all of them at the same time and re-growing a full limb would take a chunk of what remaining stamina it had...

Yozei grinned confidently, it was encouraging to hear his teammate bolstered by his words. If both of them continued to work together so well he was sure it would just be a matter of time before the beast was brought down. While he was using his own chakra at a hefty rate he imagined that it hardly compared to the strain that regeneration took on one’s body. Soon the lizard would no longer be able to heal itself, they just had to keep up the pressure and outlast it until then. Part of him was expecting to defeat the spirit with their fire and wind combination, all the more effective with his earth jutsu snaring its leg. The boys cerulean blue eyes widened in surprise as the oversized lizard ripped its own leg clean off in a desperate attempt to survive. His father had frequently told him about the habits of animals, teaching Yozei the basics of hunting and he had always maintained that an injured and cornered animal was the most dangerous. Their actions would become savage and unpredictable not to mention it was inhumane to put them in such a state and so it was best to take them out cleanly the first time. He was seeing his mistake first hand now.

Through the blazing inferno the young Genin could no longer see his target, instead he took a deep breath, assessing his levels of fatigue. He was feeling the drain on his chakra certainly but he could press on for at least one or two more attack combinations before having to resort to only low level techniques and basic taijutsu. Chanelling chakra throughout his body he would soon be encased in an earthen samurai style armor. “Back me up, I’m going to have to go in close again” he said to Shizuku. No sooner than his armor surrounded him however had he noticed a purple haze spreading through the area. Much of it had initially been consumed by the fire tornado, pushed back towards the lizard, some sucked into the vacuum and up the 10 meter tall column but still some of it dispersed into the surroundings, he didn’t have time to warn his teammate but he did cover mouth and nose and run over to her side in case she had another Fuuton technique up her sleeve that might help them out. Even if she didn’t however it was fortunate that the poison was low ranked. If he was affected he have little choice but to hold his position, coughing every now and then and steadying himself as he felt his vision begin to blur.

[Red Alert] Eki ~ C-Rank Spirit

Post by Kabu » Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:36 pm

They were close but not quite there yet, that much being very clear as the lizard proceeded to bite its own leg off, her eyes widening in surprise at the sight. Of course, spirit or not it was still a wild animal, its survival instincts beginning to take over, overshadowing any sort of rational thought process that it may have had. "I feel kind of sorry for it." she thought to herself, some part of her wondering if maybe they should have worked harder to finish it off rather than simply holding it back as they had been. In hindsight, it seemed a bit cruel on their part to have left the poor creature in such a state where it had to go into an animalistic rage to try to survive. For all their sakes they had to finish it off and they had to do it now. She doubted that it had very much stamina left itself but they had to take it down before it could regenerate the missing limb otherwise there could be trouble.

By this point, the tornado had been entirely engulfed in flame, making it difficult to see their target but that was fine, what wasn't fine however was the purple haze spreading out over the area. It was very clearly poison, one thing that she had not been trained to deal with as of yet. Luckily the effect would be minimal as most of it had already been absorbed or dispersed by the flaming tornado but still it made it more imperative than ever that they finish this now.

"Sorry to say, I don't have anything to deal with this directly. I hope you can fight through it." she said to her teammate, whom happened to now be standing by her side, her vision starting to blur as the poison took its toll. "And I don't have the greatest stamina in the world either, but I can do this." she whispered, forming a set of hand seals and bringing forth a clone of wind, she handing her tanto over to it. "It's focusing on healing right now and can't do much else so this is our big chance to get in close and finish it off. We all move as one whenever you're ready." She fell silent at that point, clearly handing the reigns over to Yozei to take the lead.

Hopefully they would be able to full this off...

The creature had continued to back up now away from the fiery tornado now letting its wounded limp begin to heal as the blood stopped dripping from the wound, the cloud of purple mist hiding it briefly from the view of the two shinobi now before the creature slowly began to fade from view. After only a few moments of time had passed the creature had become completely invisible but was only able to walk at a very slow speed, much akin to a normal person's walking speed, as it continued to increase its distance to only around twenty five meters away from the pair circling to their left side. By this time the flaming tornado and the poison mist would be nearly faded or completely gone leaving just the scared earth from the ninjutsu attacks and a thin purple tinge to the area where the purple mist has passed through. Currently the creature was bidding its time to regenerate its leg but it had by no means giving up...at least not without a snack to take with him! If not found then the camouflaged lizard would be able to regenerate its leg in a short while (two full posts) and would attack again!

Yozei nodded to his teammate, “Yeah, no problem!” he said with a smile. He was already adjusting the effects of the poison, it was distracting certainly but not debilitating. “I can keep fighting for a little while, we have to be careful though, I think this spirit is stronger than we thought.” He realized. The fact that it could keep regenerating itself was indicative of a chakra pool larger than either of theirs. They couldn’t count on outlasting the creature, while it was injured and on the defensive for now there was no telling how long it could keep healing for or what other abilities it might possess. Already they had been caught off guard with the poison breath despite knowing that its teeth were coated in poisonous saliva. As the area settled down and began to clear Yozei scanned for the creature, sure enough it had vanished into cover, lurking nearby no doubt. “We stick together, can’t let it pick us apart” he agreed whispering to the blonde girl before cautiously moving forward with Shizuku and her clone. He would sheath his sword for the time being, conserving chakra as he moved to where the lizard had last been seen.

It was now where his trips into the woods with Hanako and his dad would come in handy. He recalled the lessons the Hokage had given him, always teaching about animals, survival in the wilderness and hunting whenever they spent any quality time together outside. Crouching down he would examine the blood pool left behind, from a wound of that size it would be easy to follow the blood trail. Following at a cautious but steady pace the pair of genin would close in on the creature. After about 10 meters or so he would note that there was no longer any blood to follow, so the wound was healing that quickly then. His skill in tracking wasn’t nearly as great as his dad’s so without an obvious trail to follow he would have difficulty in pinpointing its location. Still he would keep an eye out for footprints or broken branches, the poison made his vision a little blurry so it was much easier said than done but he could also feel the effects slowly begin to fade. The foliage was thick and Yozei was beginning to worry that they wouldn’t be able to find the creature in time. “We’re at a disadvantage here, if we can’t track it we become vulnerable wandering around like this.” He said, wondering if it might be better to set up a trap and ambush the creature instead.

"It's definitely strong but it's gotta be running out of stamina at this point." Shizuku whispered as they walked along, sticking close to Yozei and all the while keeping her ears open and an eye on her surroundings. It was strange that already the beast had vanished from sight, not that her blurry vision was helping at all, though the effect seemed to be fading as the poisonous mist dispersed. She was seeing footprints obviously left by the creature, though they moved deep into the thick of the forest, which was certainly a problem. Yozei may have known about tracking and survival but aside from the obvious, she herself was clueless, not to mention if they went too far she likely wouldn't even be able to keep up.

"Yeah, just walking around like this isn't going to work." she said, completely in agreement with her teammate's concerns. "It's already caught us off guard multiple times and at this rate it's just going to do it again considering that we don't have any reliable methods of tracking it." she added, falling silent as she contemplated their next course of action. There was one idea that she had but it was risky and would put them in danger but she couldn't think of any other options.

"We're going to have to bait it out. Even if it is a spirit, it's still a wild animal and even I know that it won't be able to resist if we tempt it enough." she said, the only problem being that she wasn't sure how they could draw it out. And so she looked towards her teammate for help, hoping that he would have anything to add.

From a distance of about twenty meters behind the pair the creature had silently circled around the two genin now. It was simply biding itself some time to recover as the limb it had ripped off at the joint had healed over halfway as the progress would have been easily visible to the naked eye now if the created had not been concealed with its invisibility ability right now. But it could only be used while it walked and if it attempted to move at full speed to attack the lizard would be revealed almost the instant that it did so. Knowing that it needed to be full regenerated it slowly stalked behind the pair closing the gap little by little. Waiting for the moment when the two separated from one another as it had already determined from the brief fight earlier that it was no match for the two working in unison with the other. It's green eyes still tracking on the female as it silently advanced...

Yozei nodded in agreement as he led the Yamanaka through the trees. It was hard to imagine anything could recover from the loss of a full limb without a significant drain of chakra. Then there were all the other wounds in addition and it’s behaviour in general. By now the son of the Hokage was beginning to get his vision back, that was good at least and he could breathe easier without coughing as often. He would need his senses and ability at its fullest in order to take down this lizard.

As Shizuku came to the same realization that he had, Yozei nodded, “I have something in mind” he said, already began to form an earth clone of himself. Reaching into his bag he handed a few tagged kunai to his clone as they each began moving about in a 7-meter square perimeter, placing explosive tagged kunai under rocks and tucked into bushes. There would be one at each point of this square. Meeting back in the center Yozei would place an additional 3 explosive tags on the back of his earth clone. "Stay here with my clone and have yours take cover separately but not more than 10 meters away from this area." he whispered, moving close to speak almost directly into her ear. This part of the plan was crucial, setting up a layered trap. "Just one last thing” he realized. Even with the trap set he needed to make himself a target to help actually lure it in and so without hesitation the boy drew a kunai, slicing a gash in his cheek and wiping the blood onto his clones face before channelling a small amount of chakra into the kunai and searing his wound closed.

Regardless of whether the lizard came for Yozei or his clone at least Shizuku should remain safe and the duo with the help of their clones should be able to overwhelm the creature. “Alright, go hide somewhere nearby, I recommend somewhere with a good vantage point” he suggested more loudly now, hoping that if the lizard was watching them it would assume her to be the real one and not the clone. Yozei himself would dart off into a nearby tree, about 6 meters from one of the corners of the explosive zone. All the while he would be ready and waiting for a surprise attack directed at himself though perhaps the lizard would go straight in for his clone instead. Both he and the original would smell strongly of dirt with the distinct addition of blood. Still, he expected the lizard to see through the initial trap and not go for the obvious bait. Regardless of who the lizard attacked, however, Yozei was prepared and ready.
