In the dark of night, a shadowed heart does weep,
A soul consumed by rage it cannot keep,
She walks alone, burdened by a heavy weight,
Her fury rising, an unstoppable fate.
She felt that anger well within her once more, the same one that had caused her to destroy a village not long before. She took a moment to observe what was going on around her, and everything felt off. She could see, of all people,
Indra walking towards the bowl! She hadn't exactly had a long history with the boy, but she almost never forgot a face, and she remembered feeling... Embarrassed, maybe? It was hard to filter what the original emotion was when Arrakoa beat like a demon's heart in her backpack, fueling her in a rage she couldn't contain.
In the stillness of the night, she screams,
Her heart torn apart by shattered dreams,
A tempest rages within her soul,
Her emotions beyond her control.
Her attention was drawn away for a moment, and in a flash her bow was drawn and two of the hunter arrows were knocked, looking like just a floating bow in space, and in that same span of a millisecond they were loosed, the soft twang of the bowstring sending two arrows out, undirected rage given shape, given form, given life...
Oh, the shadows whisper her name,
A darkness within her, a burning flame,
She longs to be free from this curse,
But her anger only grows worse.
Her attention was snapped from Indra as she realized what she'd just done, looking at the bow in her hand for a moment, and then at where the arrows had been loosed, at two weird bystanders who were arguing over a map. Tears fell from her face and she wanted to do something about what was happening inside of her, but this lack of control was something she hadn't experienced since she was a young girl, but now the rage was so powerful within her that even her rather intense emotional control could not assuage her towards peace.
She battles demons deep within,
A war she fears she cannot win,
Her tears fall like rain in the night,
As she struggles to see the light.
What was she doing? Where was her anger even directed? Was it deserved? Did it need to be this way? She raged, and cried some more, if there was any semblance of stealth left within her, the loud cries of despair from her would give up at least her approximate location without the need of any extra sensory, as the glowing chakra string made its way towards the stick in the center of the ring. She felt angry about that too, because that stick was what Arrakoa wanted, it was what had brought her here, she felt, and Arrakoa would not give it up so easily.
In the darkness, she finds her truth,
A heart once broken, now uncouth,
She embraces the rage deep inside,
For in her anger, she can no longer hide.
Rage! Two more arrows drawn, the standard variety this time, and loosed in the direction of Indra as she raged! across the battlefield, taking only the smallest of breaks to break free from her stealth completely, pulling out her puppet suit from her bag and stepping into it in one smooth motion, the invisible entity in the center of the ring temporarily forgotten. Upon setting herself within her suit, her LAPS module would be brough to bear, firing a throwing knife out at Indra with the full strength of the mechanism, trying to close in on the boy.
Sharp Mind
D-Ranked Taijutsu Discipline
After many intensive hours of focus training, the user has learned how to memorize a large amount of sensory information after being first exposed to it. Though the main application of this technique is to allow for the user to memorize both the initial positioning of their weapons around the battlefield and any changes in those locations, this technique also has more uses outside of combat, such as remembering certain people, characteristics, locations, etc.
Quick Draw
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
The practitioner has learned to a point of it being second nature how to flawlessly and quickly draw their weapons from their person, limited only by the boundaries of their full physical speed. Though seemingly irrelevant, this is often the difference in who shoots first. Secondary to this learned skill is also the ability to quickly re-holster or store weapons and draw different weapons.
Shoot From The Hip
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
Requires: Quick Draw
The practitioner has learned to transition straight from a draw into an attack- using the draw itself as part of the attack and momentum. They can do this at full power, with a slight edge even, and with full accuracy.
Multi-Draw
C-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
The practitioner has trained such a deftness to their draws that they are now capable of drawing multiple projectiles and more impressively, launching them in a tight spread, capable of putting multiple projectiles into a small bullseye at the same instance.
On The Move
C-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
The practitioner has learned how to accurately launch projectiles while moving through the flow of combat: whether jumping, rolling, airborne, sliding, or doing other basic combat movements at full speed, they are capable of hitting their mark.
Situational Awareness
C-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
The practitioner has keen senses and perception and has trained to use them to have advanced spatial sense. This allows them to envision complex happenings around them with ease: this means it is hard to surprise attack the practitioner as they are always aware of their position and their surroundings. Likewise, they have a greatly sharpened ability to judge the speed of things, and the spatial aspect of them.
Trajectory Predicition
D-Ranked Discipline Taijutsu
After much practice, the practitioner has learned how to read an opponent's movements to gauge where they will be at any given moment without penalty. Effectively, the practitioner can "lead" their shots to account for movement by targets.
The arrows fired using the above jutsu, and the bow firing them are described as:
Pulled from the depths of Fuhen's anger, and forged from the fiery bones of dragons comes Arakkoa; A longbow almost as tall as he is, sitting at just over 2m in overall height, its red leather surface is quite an intimidating sight for anyone to behold. Arakkoa's special ability is slightly more strange than most, as it has the power to fire anything from pebbles to fully grown humans from its string. Arrakoa's bowstring is also quite special, as upon firing it vibrates erratically, causing arrows fired from it to appear to zip about erratically like they would never hit their targets, creating phantom vibrating images and sounds of arrows, but actually sacrificing no accuracy.
10 "Hunter" Arrows, approximately 82cm in length with Judo tips, designed to grip onto enemies with their sharp barbs, and have blood red fletching. Additionally, these special arrows can lock onto a chakra signature, following their target and able to change direction in up to a 90 degree arc, following them through all but the roughest of terrain for up to 4 posts.
Suzuko also fires her LAPS module!:
LAPS: The Left Arm Projectile System is embedded in the left arm of Suzuko's puppet, built of several rotating cannisters that can release a variety of different projectiles based on current needs. LAPS shoots these projectiles out of the palm of the hand at a speed and strength of [30] with a range of its [Strengthx2], and has the following canisters currently inside of it.
A weapons launcher that can fire either 5 senbon, 2 shuriken, or 1 kunai at a time, depending on what is loaded into it.
A chemical flamethrower, capable of causing up to second degree burns on contact.
