The Floor is Lava

Post by Izanagi » Sun Apr 10, 2022 7:21 pm

Yozei had rested well over the last two days, feasting on duck and various game meats and enjoying plentiful servings of desserts he had made sure to consume enough calories to help him heal. Perhaps as a side effect of the new DNA he had noticed an increased craving for spicy food and had requested some hot peppers be added to a few select sauces and marinades. His attendants had done well to keep his clothes and sheets clean and his baths hot. He hadn’t paid too much thought to the man in the dungeons, he was here secretly after all. But there were a handful of specific guards he had tasked with keeping an eye on him as well as ensuring he was brought meals or anything else he requested, within reason.

As instructed, he hadn’t done any training in the last few days, but he could feel his chakra surging within him and already felt comfortable moving. The chakra stitches were still in his side but the wound was already healed, leaving behind a 12 inch long scar that ran vertically along his left side. Evidently, at some point in his sleep the Dark Prince had manifested long enough to heal the wound. Though at this point Yozei was so accustomed to the healing factor that it simply felt normal to recovery quickly from injuries.

Forming a few handseals after he dressed properly, a door emerged in the stone wall of his room. Opening it he followed the steep, twisting path down and into the Dungeons. He would emerge from a door in the central room. One that hadn’t been there before, and as he stepped into the room and closed the door behind him it would vanish and the tunnel would close behind him. He glanced around, adjusting to the dimmer light and the cooler air below the palace proper. “I’m ready” he called out, as soon as he saw Tenzin. Surely, he would understand what he meant. Though first he would see to what the man had been doing for the past few days and whether or not the old Enkouten’s body was still around. If it wasn’t disposed of, he could handle such a task easy enough now that he was rested. He was eager to put the Kekkei Genkai to the test and perhaps even test out a few more advanced Katon and Doton techniques that his father had demonstrated to him before he left Konoha.

Doton • Secret Passage
C-Rank Ninjutsu
After forming the needed hand seals the user must either press his hand against some sort of earthen wall or flow his chakra through the ground from within a distance of 25 metres. Then as long as there isn’t any foreign chakra circulating through the earthen structure or the user has equal or greater control, then they are able to create a door, complete with hinges and a handle. When used on unusually thick walls the area behind the door will hollow out, creating a passage with a second door on the other side. With an additional handseal the entrance will close behind him, crushing anything trapped within with a strength of [Control] and returning to its previous state. The passageway forms and closes at a speed of [Control].

With only the repetitive dripping of water that occurred every minute, the silence was something Tenzin surprisingly enjoyed. During the first day, Tenzin had operated more on the old man. He wanted to truly understand some of the biology that came with his ability. His body must have been built differently to be able to explode like a true human volcano. The idea alone was chilling.

Once the first day ended, Tenzin decided that he should get rid of the body completely. What a better to get rid of the body than with testing out a few jutsu on the corpse? Tenzin had decided to try out a jutsu that he had been working on for a little bit now. While standing over the corpse, Tenzin flowed his chakra throughout himself. It took only a moment before he molded it with the katon nature. The shinobi knew that he had to heavily reduce the range of the jutsu, so he focused his chakra in a way that would expel it in a small matter. However, in order to completely annihilate the body, Tenzin wanted to make sure that the chakra performance was perfect.

The chakra itself swirled throughout his body, but focused mainly from his throat and to his mouth. With chakra resting and the katon merging, in his mouth, Tenzin started with his mouth close. His cheeks swelled up as if he was going to puke. When it got full enough, Tenzin opened his mouth. In the same instance he expelled his chakra from his mouth. What came out was a fierce and powerful flame. With a flame that could expel up to 40 meters forward and 20 meters wide, the flame was actually 2 meters in length and 1 meter in width. The flame itself would catch on the fringes of the enkouten's user's clothes. It would also burn the body and the skin. Ripping through the clothing and the flesh, Tenzin stopped breathing upon the man. The flames themselves melted the flesh leaving a terrible burning smell throughout the dungeon. Something that was short sighted thought out by Tenzin. Looking upon the burning body, he moved his right hand to his nose and held the nostrils. This attempt was to limit the amount of smell that he would inhale. After looking at the situation, Tenzin had decided that he would have to perform a couple more jutsu to make sure that the body disappeared and that he didn't kill himself from lack of oxygen.

While staring at the flames erupting over the old man, Tenzin figured he would have to put out the flame. Maybe putting it to flame wasn't the best idea. To put it out, the shinobi decided that utilizing the suiton affinity would be the most ideal. Tenzin held his nose with his right hand, with his free hand (the left), he held it up in the air. While focusing on his chakra, he changed the swirling chakra to focus to his left hand.

'What an idiot' he thought to himself as the suiton nature mixed with his chakra. With his left hand in the air, Tenzin released the jutsu. The water would form around his hand and expel forward to 2m long. The swirling of water would form and the pressurized jutsu would be held firmly in Tenzin's left hand. The sound of the blade had a swirling and pressurized noise to it. Tenzin looked down and started cutting down on the body along with slicing at the flames themselves. As he cut through the body and flames, he was doing two things: Cutting the body up to pieces and putting the flames out. Once slice at a time, he went at the arms, then the legs, the neck, and the flames. Once he cut up the body enough, Tenzin focused more on the flame. The shinobi slowly moved the flame over the burning dead body. One chunk of flames at a time, the anbu agent put them out.

After a little bit of time Tenzin put out the flames completely. With a chopped up body a put out flames, Tenzin looked at what only a child would do to desecrate the body. With a slight bit of embarrassment and the stench of the old man filled the room, the shinobi had decided to clean out the dungeon the correct way... maybe the old fashion way. Since if he had kept going, he would more than likely blow the dungeon up completely. With time on his side, he filled most of the night with cleaning up the body. It took a lot of soap, water, and will power to truly clean up the dungeon to the fullest. With enough elbow grease, it would look better and less gross than the way he had found it... All Tenzin could keep thinking was 'ugh what an idiot' while he finished his task to completion.

With little rest, Tenzin instinctively woke up earlier than he wanted to. Working as a teacher and now currently as an Anbu agent has naturally trained him to wake up within the early hours of the morning. The shinobi was uncharacteristically paranoid. The walls made it tough for him to use his sensory skills and with the passing surgery, all it took was for a rumor to have the village hidden in stone to start snooping.

Tenzin got up and shook his head from any paranoid thoughts. He looked over at the rock table where the old man was and figured that he had rested enough physically to recover from the surgery and botched attempt of getting rid of the body. Although he wasn't mentally all rested, the shinobi took his time to stretch a little bit like he would do any morning.

Mid-Stretch the silver haired shinobi could feel a slight shake in the earth around him. What could this be? Was this what he was paranoid about the whole time? He wanted to make sure that he wasn't fully caught by surprised. He wasn't fully sure what was going on or where it was coming from, so perpetration was indeed needed. Within moments Tenzin focused his chakra throughout his body and channeled it up to his eyes, but more specifically to his eyes. What would look like electricity spilling from his eyes, the entirety of his blue eyes filled up with raiton nature. When the door opened, Tenzin looked directly at the earth that disappeared and Yozei appeared.

The shinobi glared down at the man, milliseconds away from releasing his technique on him. When Tenzin realized who it was, he dispelled the jutsu which left his eyes to turn back to normal. He put his right arm over his head and simply spoke up. "You scared me for a second. " With a slight chuckle to laugh it off, Tenzin continued. "Sure you are, I'll follow you up?"

Yozei’s arms raised reflexively as he saw the crackling electricity in the man’s eyes. He was prepared to retreat into the ground and counterattack with Doton Kinesis as his instincts took over. However, as the man opposed him lowered his guard, so too did the Fire country Prince. “I should have given you more warning” he admitted, appraising the man once again. Raiton was a powerful counter to his own Doton style, this Tenzin individual was quite dangerous indeed. Walking across the room, Yozei led them through a corridor for some way and then into a back room until he was far enough away from the main rooms of the palace above. Then, placing a hand on the stone wall of the dungeon he tunnelled a path that led outside of the palace walls.

All the while he was already focusing on his breathing, igniting a flame in his hand to act as a torch. With each breath out the flame engorged and then diminished again with each inhale. Breath control was essential to Katon, but he could feel the call of something greater now within his blood. The ability to utilize Katon and Doton simultaneously. In his right hand he formed a fist-sized rock, even as they emerged to the surface. It was still dark, daybreak would be soon approaching but he intended to experiment with his own awakening. Holding the fireball in his left hand and the sphere of rock in his right he levitated them toward one another, combining them quite physically as a simple introduction to the style. Then, as they swirled around one another he began to infuse the two properties, binding them as one. The form and structure of Doton, with all of the heat and ignition of Katon. Together it formed something new, a sphere of crackling, molten rock that glowed and radiated heat.

Youton • Lava Bomb
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Channelling chakra to their hand, the user will form a sphere of lava, anywhere from 10cms diameter to 1m. This sphere can then be launched at [Control] Speed up to a distance of 15 meters. Upon contact with a substance or with a half seal the sphere will detonate with [Control] Strength, spreading lava over a 10-meter diameter area and causing great destruction. After 3 posts the lava will harden and become brittle.
Then empowering the sphere of lava further, Yozei launched it forward at a small stream that flowed out from the palace walls. The ground was muddy and relatively barren, the outskirts of the city where it transitioned to countryside. The lava sphere impacted and exploded, spraying molten lava around the area with 15 Strength. The river hissed and sizzled and the lava cooled to brittle black rock. “That felt…good. Natural. It’s like channelling Doton and Katon at the same time” he considered. He simply needed to start with a Doton base, reflecting that in his hand seals of primarily combinations of snake and dog and then adding in the occasional Dragon or Tiger seal in order to better imbue the Katon properties. “I can do more” the young man considered, a powerful gleam in his cerulean blue eyes.

He would form seals similar to how he might create a split in the earth, and then he began flowing Katon chakra into the technique before stomping the ground as he felt the two natures mix and balance one another. The ground turned to lava, flowing in a large swath like a river as it connected and merged with the body of water. The air filled with steam as the water flowed into the river of lava.

Youton • Lava Flow
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Channelling chakra into their foot the user will stomp the ground. Then at a speed of [Control] the ground will be turned to lava in a 5-meter deep, 10 meter wide and 15 meter long line, capable of melting whatever stands in its path with [Control] Strength.
The prince hummed for a moment, considering some of the techniques the old man had used against him during their brief battle. “I suppose I can draw inspiration from Katon, Doton, or even Suiton type techniques. If I increase the Katon output the consistency should be more like a liquid and with more Doton to maintain better shape” he considered. He would form handseals again and then scan the area, focusing on a barren patch of land as he directed his chakra through the ground. Imagining creating a pillar with Doton he once again infused in a large amount of his Katon natured chakra until he felt what seemed to be a natural balance.

This time lava erupted from the ground like a geyser, creating a thick column. He was still holding back his power, both to conserve chakra and to try to mitigate damage to the landscape. After all these were his lands and he didn’t want to leave too much evidence of his training to clean up afterward. “Youton techniques are naturally strong against Doton, I should be able to apply its effects directly or through weaponry” he considered. Though this would require much more fine chakra control as to protect whatever was being coated.

Youton • Geyser
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
After forming the necessary hand seals or channeling chakra the user will send their chakra through the ground. Then at any point within 15 meters of them the user can create a 5 meter wide, 10 meter tall geyser that will erupt from the ground at [Control] speed and [Control] Strength, spewing forth lava for three posts before hardening and becoming brittle.
Clearly in a determined trance of sorts as he continued to focus only on his techniques, Yozei reveled in this newfound power. It rivaled Sankaton in its destruction power, though where Sankaton needed to be precise and limited to a small scale, with Youton he could consume entire battlefields with ease. The drain on his chakra reserves were far less taxing and much more Youton could be produced, comparable to creating persisting Katon techniques. The only real drawback was the fact that Youton became brittle after a certain time. Already he noted the river of lava was visibly beginning to cool. Therefore Youton was better as a way to set up a combination than an outright attack against heavily armored targets.

Still, he could utilize that well with his projectiles. This time he would attempt to channel chakra directly as he withdrew a kunai. His first attempt he managed to coat the weapon but didn’t create a strong enough barrier to protect his hand, burning himself lightly as the weapon was consumed. Wincing he tried it again with a new kunai, this time focusing lava on just the blade of the weapon and keeping a barrier of chakra between his hand and the weapon. “That’s a little better” he considered, tossing the kunai at a boulder about 20 meters away and watching as it embedded into the stone before the rock began to melt.

Youton • Molten Weapons
D-Ranked Ninjutsu
Channelling chakra into a weapon they are touching, the user will coat the object in a layer of Youton. There will be a thin layer of raw chakra that will protect the weapon, insulating it against the melting effects. However, any other substance that touches the coated area of the weapon will have [Control] Strength melting and burning applied to it. This technique only lasts for 3 posts before the cases becomes brittle and breaks away revealing the weapon in its original condition.
The next step, naturally, was to apply lava directly to his hand. He knew how to create an aura of Katon around himself so the principle was essentially the same. Utilzing his expert precision of chakra control he formed a coating a raw chakra around his hand, watching it closely as he stretched it out before him. Then, slowly he began to flow additional chakra, mixing Doton and Katon but putting slightly more emphasis on Doton as he attempted to create enough structure that it wouldn’t just drip right off his hand.

It took a minute or so of adjusting actively until he got the consistency quite right, but once he was satisfied with it he looked over his hand one final time. Stomping the ground he formed a pillar of earth. Pressing his hand against the substance he could feel just how effective the lava was, knowing precisely how strong he had made the earthen pillar (10 Strength) and feeling how the lava quickly began to melt and weaken the stone. “Not bad, that could come in handy” he muttered to himself. Close combat wasn’t exactly his strong suit so it always helped to have a few more ways to contend with hardy opponents up close.

For a split second, Tenzin watched as the prince in front of him almost reacted to the crackling of his eyes. After his mention of the surprise situation, the silver haired shinobi smirked and straightened his legs. "I'll follow you Sir Yozei" he softly announced as he placed both of his hands in his pockets. With that being said, Yozei lead them throughout the palace, meanwhile practicing his newfound power. It was reassuring that the not only he had recovered properly from his surgery, but that transfusion itself was more than successful. This further solidified and minor doubts about Tenzin's capabilities. Training with the young prince would be beneficial for both parties. With his new power, it w as important for Tenzin to keep an eye on him in case there were further medical procedures required.

As the two walked through the corridor, Tenzin kept a watchful eye over the Prince. While they walked to a grand room Tenzin, took notice of how he was performing some techniques. The shinobi wanted to help out more as he practiced. Maybe if he offered some advice and presented him with some legitimate targets to practice against. "Prince Yozei, this power is great against enemies. However, you have probably noticed that it could also be harmful as well. Maybe in the future you can maneuver it with the same way you have been able to control your earth." Tenzin would gaze upon the prince as he would attempt to gain some distance.

While the Anbu Captain walked throughout the area, he would continue talking. "Although this element has incredible destructive power based on Fire and Earth. When you start to focus on stronger techniques, you might want to base them off of how water would perform." Once Tenzin felt as though several meters was far enough, the shinobi focused on his chakra himself. As the chakra flowed, he expelled it from his body almost like a mist. Not fully noticeable to the untrained eye.
Jutsu usedShow

[Ninjutsu • Chakra Mist]
A-Ranked Ninjutsu
Once the user has used the correct hand signs or channeled their chakra, their chakra expels chakra from their body. The chakra takes the shape as a mist and takes a hold of the natural elements surrounding them. Moving at a speed of [Control] up to a radius of 50m from the user. When the chakra latches on to a natural element, it molds with the surrounding elements that don't have chakra in it (Earth, Air, Water, etc.). When released, this technique lasts for [4/Control] Posts.
The chakra itself would latch on to the elements around the area, however due to Yozei's chakra flowing through the earth. The mist would only be able to latch onto the air around them. Although not ideal, it was more of a safety precaution in case things got too out of hand. With more focus on his chakra, Tenzin flowed it while continuing to keep eye contact with the man several meters in front of him. Tenzin spoke loudly and firmly so he could hear "How about you train on a few opponents that would allow you to adapt to different situations." Even if Yozei wanted moving targets, it would benefit him to attack something or someone that would attack back.

With that in mind, Tenzin wanted to test a technique he had been studying. In one of his training session with root operatives, he had used a clone technique. Although it was effective, it drained a decent amount of his chakra. After that, he studied for a way to not lose all of the chakra that was put into the clone technique like last time. So with this new technique Tenzin slapped both of his hands together and weaved the proper hand signs. Six clones appeared from puffs of smoking making a quick and minor smoke screen. When the dust settled, the six clones stood there with their hands in their pockets like Tenzin was doing earlier. With their arrival, the clones took their hands out from their pockets. Reflecting their movements, Tenzin placed his hands within his pockets. Since the clones arrived, two of them stepped up. Tenzin had planned to send two clones at a time at Yozei. With his power, two diluted clones should be enough for him to handle.

*[Ninjutsu • Advanced Shadow Clone Technique]
S-Ranked Ninjutsu
Prerequisite: *[Ninjutsu • Shadow Clone Technique]
After performing the correct hand seals the user proceeds to create a number of clones of themselves (maximum is equal to 1/3rd the user's Chakra Pool). Unlike the Clone Technique, these clones are actual copies of the user in both appearance and substance. The user's chakra is evenly distributed among every clone, giving each clone an equal fraction of the user's overall power. The clones are capable of performing jutsu on their own, be given complex commands, caught in genjutsu, and can even bleed, but they will usually disperse after one or two solid blows. The clones will be created in roughly the same condition as the original and any experience the clones gain during their existence is transferred to the user once they are dispersed. Given that the clones are an exact replica of the user, they share the same stats except for Chakra Pool, which is determined by the number of clones presently in effect. The advantage of this form of the technique is that once dispersed, the chakra distributed to the clones returns to the user, allowing any un-used chakra to be regained, slowing the draining usage of this technique. The chakra returns to the user at a different rate depending on the user's control.
1-15 Control: 1/5
16-25: 2/5
26-35: 3/5
36+: 4/5
The two clones that stepped up, stared down at the Prince before them. The reached down quickly and drew up a kunai from a holster. They both used their right hands. By placing their finger in the loop and motioning their kunai up, they were able to swiftly hold the kunai. With determination in the clone's eyes, they were set on doing a frontal assault to man standing before them. They dispersed from their positions and began to go into a full sprint. As if the clones were mirroring each other, they took a rounded route giving distance between the two as the ran forward. The sprint they took was bordering reckless. The purpose of this exercise was simply to have a couple of moving targets.

However, the clones thought the same as Tenzin. If the clones were to get close enough, they would attempt to punish him. If that was the case, it wouldn't hurt to practice some taijutsu techniques. The shinobi had a few ideas in mind to keep it going. However, these thoughts running through the young jounin's head caused him to change positioning. While the clones were attacking, Tenzin lifted his hands from his pockets and folded his arms.
